Phoenix's Soul: Hey everybody Phoenix's Soul here. How is everyone?
Starfire floats into the room looking confused.
Starfire: Excuse me but where am I?
Phoenix's Soul: Oh hello Starfire. You're in the writing room where I write these
fanfics of the Teen Titans.
Starfire: Oh joy, but why am I here.
Phoenix's Soul: I brought you here to help with the disclaimer which tells everyone that I don't own the Teen Titans.
Starfire: Alright but how can I say it when you just did?
Phoenix ponders this for a moment and shrugs it off.
Phoenix's Soul: Oh well lets get on with the story.

A visit from the future
"No, Dick, you can't leave me!" a beautiful red haired woman screamed as she sat bolt up right in bed. She ran a hand over her sweat soaked face panting as she remembered the nightmare she just had. It was the memory of that fateful night on the planet earth.
"Why did you do it?" she asked aloud beginning to cry "You didn't have to save me. You didn't have to die."
"It was the dream again wasn't it?" asked a low voice from the doorway of her room. The light prevented her from seeing him but she knew who it was.
"Yes," she answered wiping her eyes not wanting him to see her cry she was supposed to be strong for him. She didn't know it but he could see her crying even in the dark. He always could but he never let her know. He knew she didn't want him to know.
"Sorry for waking you," she said trying to sound cheerful.
"I was already awake," he said flatly "just finishing up some last bit of work on the project. It's almost done."
"You don't have to do this you know," she said drawing her knees up to her chest and wrapping her arms around them.
He walked over and sat next to her on the bed. He placed his arm around her shoulders and hugged her to him and rested his head on hers. "It's alright mom everything'll be all right. I'll save dad and we'll finally be a real family."
"You really don't have to do this," she pleaded "You've become so strong by yourself. Your father would be proud of what you've become."
"I know," he said with a hint of sorrow in his voice "But I'm not doing this for just myself. I'm also doing it for you. I can't stand seeing your face hurt so much when you see him in me."
He got up and walked to the doorway she could see his face clearly as he slightly turned staring off into nothing. He wore the same look he had worn since he first learned about what happened to his father. It was the exact same look his father had when he set about to do something it was strong, stern, and unwavering.
She remembered the day he died vividly in her mind. She remembered the love he gave her, the pain she felt when she saw him take what was meant for her, and the anger she unleashed when she saw his blood. She lost three forms of innocence that day. Her bodily innocence when she and Dick loved each other, her child like innocence when he died, and her blood innocence when she killed her lover's killer.
She glanced at the clock on the wall 5:49 a.m. Might as well get up and have breakfast. She walked into the kitchen to see her father, mother, and older sister. Meals had become very quiet for two months since her son had begun work on his project.
"So, Star," her sister Blackfire began "is he still working on that project of his?"
"Yes, he is. He says he's almost done."
"Well I hope it works," their father said "Because no one should grow up without a father."
There was a loud explosion from some where in the complex. Everything shook violently causing Star-fire to fall down. Her parents grabbed each other and Black-fire acted as if nothing was happening. When everything stopped shacking they all looked at each other and ran to where they knew explosion had come from.
They all rushed into his smoking lab. They saw him starring at something that they couldn't see until they gathered around him. He was starring a glowing belt suspended in a gravitational field. His face was finally different he had a small smile on his face that showed more of his father.
"Star, doesn't that look like his father's belt. You know Rob----- owowowowowowow," Black-fire started saying before Star-fire stomped on her foot.
He didn't notice though. His eyes were transfixed on his creation. He reached out and took the belt from the gravitational field. He put it on and turned to face his family. His face was so full of joy that he looked just like his mother did when she was younger.
"Well, I must say that I'm impressed you finished it," his grandmother said who always thought he was a little off for doing this.
"Thanks grandma."
"Are you absolutely sure that little accessory is going to take you back in time?" asked Blackfire in a disbelieving tone.
"Yeah, it's going work Auntie B, and no you can't use it to prevent mom from stopping you from getting away with that Sentari Moon crystal incident."
"Fine, be that way," Blackfire responded with an annoyed look on her face.
"I'm so proud of you," Starfire said wiping a tear from her eye.
"Thanks mom. That means a lot to me."
"Now you be careful in the past, and don't do anything that would do any real harm to our time."
"Yes mom I won't do anything but save dad."
He did a few things with the belt and he was surrounded by an energy field. He looked from his grandmother to his aunt then to his mother. He finally turned to his grandfather who had remained silent. He nodded to him and he nodded back.
"Well, grandpa, it's like you always said 'No one should grow up without a father'," he said with a smile.
His grandfather smiled and nodded again. He hugged his mother goodbye and pressed a button in the center of the belt buckle. In a flash he disappeared leaving his family in silence. His grandfather rapped his arm around his wife. Blackfire put a hand on her sister's to comfort her.

Phoenix's Soul: So what you guys think?
Starfire: It was wonderfully wonderful Phoenix. But what is my son's name?
Phoenix's Soul: That's for the next chapter Star.
Just then a purple starbolt strikes the ground next to Phoenix and Star. Phoenix turns and summons fire into his hands and Starfire creates her own starbolts. Blackfire lands looking angry with her eyes glowing purple.
Blackfire: How dare you make me act like that.
Phoenix's Soul: Say what. What are you talking about.
Blackfire: You made me act nice and to her.
Starfire: But sister it's the future you can't always be evil. I mean judging from the story it would seem because of your current meanness you have not found a special male friend.
Blackfire just stares in shock with big white eyes and her mouth wide open. Then she became angry again and started throwing starbolts.
Blackfire: How dare you make me into some old unloved aunt.
Phoenix's Soul: IIIIIII'mmmmm ssssoooorrrrrrrryyyy. I'll right the next chapter as soon as Blackfire gets tired.
Blackfire: That won't happen anytime soon!
Starfire: Goodbye friends who read this fanfic.
