Never Build A Timehole Watch

Chapter 3: Kidnapped

Goku wondered into Cyborg's room, "Hey Uncle Cy." Cyborg lifted his welding mask and turned off that thingamajig that emits the blue fire, "Hey Goku. What brings you to my room?" Goku shrugged, "I dunno. Kid instinct?" Cyborg laughed at this, "Hey, can you pass me the nano-weld resistor? You should be able to feel it, it's the smallest welding tool in my toolbox."

Goku found his toolbox and fished around in it and handed him the small welder. Cyborg started to twist it as Abby plopped down on the floor, "So, how did you know this was my room?"

Goku said simply, "I remember hearing your footsteps. I have my Ki Sense ability plus my dads hearing and a bit of photographic memory." Cyborg laughed, "It just seems so weird for you to be calling Redfire 'dad'. And for calling me 'uncle'." Goku smiled, "It's weird for seeing, well I saw you, being so young." Cyborg asked, "What do I look like when I get older?" Goku thought for a second. He thought harder then said, "I-I don't think I remember…" Cyborg nodded, "I got it. It's because you never saw me." Goku's blind gaze turned to him. He explained, "When you became blind, it affected your memory. You can't remember seeing anything in the future." Goku nodded, "Oh." Cyborg ruffled his hair, "Hey, don't take it too hard." He hugged her 'uncle' tightly, "Thanks uncle Cy."

Goku helped Cyborg for a bit, handing him tools and stuff, then he walked down to the kitchen for some snacks.

Goku felt Starfire's petite feet standing in front of the counter. He sighed happily, glad his mother and father took him around the whole tower a billion times to remember whose feet were who, where everything was, and stuff like that. Then Cyborg took him on a tour of the city, but it was more like a tour of the T-car.

Then Goku's grandfather Travis took him around again for a ride on the TM-cycle, and then his grandmother Starfire showed him around once more, in the art of walking. She flew him home, as Goku hadn't done it in a long time because he couldn't feel anything in the air.

Anyway, back to the present. Goku walked over to Starfire and climbed onto the counter, "Hey Grandma Star." Starfire looked pleased, "Hello Grandson Goku! Would you like to try my Glorgabon Supreme?" Goku asked, "What does it look like?" Starfire thought for a moment then said, "On Earth, it would look like green and purple spaghetti." Tonks nodded, "Okay, it couldn't hurt." And, to Goku's surprise, it didn't, unlike his friend Tonks, which tasted nasty for her since she was 100 percent human. He guessed it was because of his grandmother's DNA in him.

Goku took a bath before he went off to his mother's room. He walked right in, "Mom?" Goku heard Jinx's monotone, "Yeah?" Goku noted her voice was coming from the bed. He climbed onto it, "Hey Mom, can I ask you something?" He felt Jinx sit up, "Sure." He asked, "Do you like Daddy? I mean, now, the way you are now, as teenagers?" Jinx hesitated but said, "Yes." Goku smiled, "Okay, I was just wondering if you liked him farther in the past. Or the future, for you." Jinx quickly understood Goku's logic and smiled, "No, I probably liked him since the time I laid my eyes on him." Goku smiled brightly and said, "Okay, I'm just gathering information that I can make fun of you with when I get back to the future!" Jinx groaned and lay back down as Goku ran out laughing a very Redfire-like laugh. Jinx smiled at this.

Redfire's voice rang out throughout the tower, "MOVIE NIIIIIIIGHT!!!" Goku was the first to reach the living room, "What are we hearing daddy?" Redfire held up a movie, "One of the scariest movies you'll ever see!" Goku coughed. Redfire laughed nervously, remembering his temper, which was fiercer than his own. "I mean, you'll ever hear." Goku sat down on the couch as the rest of the team filed in. Cyborg bounced Goku on his knee, "What's it about?" Redfire said in an excited voice, "A viral outbreak causes people bitten by other people infected with the virus to turn into flesh-eating zombies. A group of people try to survive while cooped up in a mall. And, while their cooped up in the mall, they try to escape by armoring up the buses to escape to a marina in order to get to an island that may be uninhabited-" Jinx snorted, "I didn't know 'uninhabited' was in your vocabulary." Redfire scowled and put the movie in DVD player and switched the TV on.

An hour into the movie...

Goku shrieked loudly. The team thought it was because of the movie, because at the precise time Goku shrieked, they shrieked too. Goku screamed because a bandanna was suddenly wrapped around his mouth and another around his eyes and his limbs. This made him very angry for two reasons. One, he couldn't use his powers, and two; the dude who was kidnapping him obviously didn't know he was blind. He was quietly carried away. Goku tried shrieking through the cloth tied around his mouth, but it was no use.

Goku felt himself being thrown into a metal box and the rumble of a motor. Goku recognized it as an airplane motor. He sighed heavily, thought muffled by the cloth. The person who kidnapped him had it all planned out, didn't he?

Goku felt the plane jerk to a stop, sending him flying into metal wall of the box, which soon opened. He heard a mysterious voice, "Well, well, well, a boy from the future, like the girl. Even better, with more power than Tonks." This voice wasn't mysterious like her mothers, more like a man. A grown man. It was very familiar, but somewhat younger. Goku's eyes widened from under his blindfold as he recognized the voice. Slade.

Goku felt metal cold hands on the back of his head. The cloth fell off of his eyes and mouth. He screamed loud enough to break windows, and fortunately, there were no windows, or Slade would torture him more. He looked up at Slade. His visible eye was looking happy in that evil way, not that Goku could see it, but he could tell Slade was pleased.

In the future, Grandpa Gohan, or the Great Saiyaman, had defeated him; by putting the skeleton inside the black and orange costume inside a rock, like Terra, whom had her statue moved to a safer part of the tower. The Titans were taking care of a new enemy, Dr. Rasmus, a man with the same powers as Beast Boy, only somewhat purple. Anyway, back to the story please...

Goku asked as venomously as Grandpa Gohan did when he had arrived from the future, "What do you want... Slade?" He spoke, "Just... a little help."
