A blast from the future 1
Chapter 1:
I can understand your confusion, you have no idea who I am, or what am I doing. You only know I just did something with a machine and then a lost consciousness. Well, yeah, that's about what happen. But sadly, even if you can't believe it, this is only the beginning…
I am the daughter of two superheroes. My parents belonged to a teenage superhero group called "The Teen Titans". And sorry, I won't tell you who are they, it can change and damage my mission. The only person I could tell you about is Cyborg, or Uncle Victor. And just so you now, the Titans have heroes and organizations all over the world, so of all of those heroes I became to be. But Cyborg, he was the only one that I could trust, past, present or future.
My mission: Go back to the past, before my parents are even together. Learn about the future enemies before they know it themselves and stop them.
Yeah, simple enough… not. Good thing Uncle Vic gave me the rings. Yeah in the future, Cyborg and the JLA perfect the holo ring, but it just not changes my appearance, it can also help me control and hide my powers. So no one can read me and guess right who I am. Putting the rings on I select my new appearance, I don't change much, besides the best way to hide something is at plain sight.
So let's start all over again. I'm from the future. I'm here on a mission. I'm not a hero. I'm not a villain. I will do whatever it takes to succeed, even doing the impossible. I can only trust one person, and he doesn't even know of my existence, and cannot know who I am. No one can. But I need a name, a name that can describe me, my powers, who I am, who I am going to become…
I'm on my only and last mission… My name…is Shadow.
***************************************8***********************************
I look myself in the mirror. I'm in the exact same place I was; only I'm in the past. The place is a dump, I kind of appreciate it in the future if you're a techno freak, then you will love it. The place had every weapon and machines of advance technology… too bad I never understood it all. Uncle Vic tried at least. But I could only go so far. If you're wondering about my mission, even if I already explained it, but want details, is simple. With holo ring I will follow and study them, especially him. That evil man, but now in this time he is only a 20 year old. Young, stupid, and full of dreams. Studying at Jump College, for political science, I think. Something to do with politics… you know to try and destroy us in the future. But does dreams come later in his life. Anyways, I can't do it on my own, even if I hate to admit it, I need the Titans. I don't mind help. But to go to them, when they don't know me ask for a roof over my head, food, water and a bathroom and help to stock a guy who is not a treat (now at least), will be horrible. The only positive thing is they don't know me. They can't judge me from my actions of my past because it's their future. Which they don't know.
I chuckled darkly when the song "Reflection" of a Disney movie comes to mind; in the mirror is a copper-skinned girl with bright green eyes. Her hair is black and a little bit over her shoulders. I don't change much of my appearance but those little details I'm hiding , it's a huge impact to me. I shake my head and concentrate.
First thing to do, look around and try to blend in. Second find the date. Third try to remember which villain attacked that day and where. Fourth contact Cyborg. Easy enough for now. I start walking to the secret passage and sigh in relief knowing that it was already here before He remodeled this dump. I start walking it's around midnight, and apparently Friday. I could hear music coming from around, in the shops or clubs different colored lights can be seen outside. I kept walking and I see a hotdog stand and beside it newspapers stand. I took one and looked for the date. A crooked smiled appeared on my face.
"Doctor Light. 12:47pm. The Bank on south side of Jump" I whispered to myself. I looked and guy working the stand looked at me and smiled. I rolled my eyes, pervert, I thought.
"What time is it?" I asked him
"12:20, doll face" He smiled.
"Thanks" I start walking; I may get there in about 20 minutes just walking. While I walk I enjoy everything. Jump city in the future, my present isn't good.
"They won the battle but they lost the war" I said bitterly. And most of the blame was pointed at me. Just my luck. I asked some random person the time. 12:40pm. 7 minutes to spare. Now how am I going to do this… I'll think I will just enjoy the scene and when Nightwing , or Robin, and Raven take Doctor Loser to special villain jail I'll go to Cyborg. Yup and just hope for the best. Now all I had to do was wait.
I sit down on a bench near the back. I could already see Doctor Light clibing to the roof. I shake my head.
"Idiot"
