Sorry it took so long for me to update this, but since I already deleted the old story like an idiot, I'm working entirely from scratch. Anyhoozle here's the second chapter of TTLGOS (I made this title to dang long)
Chapter 2: welcome to the future.
The portal ended up spitting them out pretty quickly, but it was not gentle. The only ones who landed on their feet was Batman, Robin, and Kaldur. But soon they too were on the ground or their knees after trying to walk. Kid Flash hit his head when he landed and was out cold, Artemis had crawled over to check on him and she pulled his head on to her lap when she managed to sit up.
"Kid dork is fine, I think" she called out looking around their surroundings. "But how did we end up back in the cave?"
At this Conner groaned and opened his eyes, seeing that M'gan was fine he looked around, Artemis was right they were back in the hangar. Something was wrong though. "Your right, but why are is the bio-ship here?"
Miss Martian shook her head, confused, everyone was looking at her for answers, even the Bat himself. "I don't know, she was still outside when we portaled here. Robin?" She called to the young bird, seeing him looking around with a frown on his face. "What are you looking for?"
The boy wonder's frown deepened as he turned his head towards her. "Where's Zatanna?"
The whole (conscious) team jerked up and looked around the hangar. Zatanna was nowhere to be seen.
"What do you think happened to her?" Artemis asked, worry clear in her voice. She was already freaked out enough to be thinking about the grim possibilities going through her head.
It's was Batman who answered. "Her magic kept her grounded" with a grunt of effort he hauled himself up to his feet, nobody but Robin noticing how he had to take a second to steady himself.
As everyone was following his example and standing, Superboy stopped and tilted his head to the side, listening, something was wrong. "Batman?" the clone inquired, drawing the attention of the dark knight. "We're not alone. I hear other people, two guys and a girl."
"It's probably just Black Canary with Red tornado and Manhunter checking on the portal anomaly." Artemis theorized.
Superboy shook his head. "Canary and Manhunter don't sound like this, plus the third voice is human."
Batman and Robin narrowed their eyes, not quite Bat-glaring but it was still intimidating. "Distance." Batman demanded.
Closing his eyes to focus he closed in on the voices. "Close. just around- He didn't need to finish for at that moment everyone could hear the footsteps and 'hushed' voices. Just like that weapons were drawn and fighting stances were taken up. In no time at all the three enemies were on them, Robin was just about to throw a smoke bomb, when they caught sight of the perps. And both parties froze. Conner was right, two guys, one girl, but that wasn't what caught them off guard. The girl woman, was in what looked like a female bat-suit, Kevlar from the look, but instead of the typical gray and black combo, she had purple lining on hers, another difference was that her eyes were uncovered, shocked blue eyes complementing her blonde hair. Next to her was a guy with black hair and a domino mask, the white lenses widened for a split second before narrowing into a suspicious glare. He wore a red long-sleeved armored shirt and black armored pants and boots. His 'utility belts' were strapped in an 'x' formation on his chest, the buckle a round bird's head symbol, connecting to a black one around his waist, and two separate smaller ones around his biceps. His 'cape' looked like metal wings. The batarangs that both held looked authentic and despite their apparent surprise they both were silent. After about a minute of gaging each other the third person spoke up. He was green, like full on martin green skin and hair, with a monkey tail and sharp teeth. The boy looked to be in his late teen to early adult years.
"Um..Batman? Aren't you supposed to be off world? Who are these guys? I recognize Superboy and sis, didn't you shorten your hair, and those two look like a young Artemis and Flash when he was kid flash but"
He was cut off by the Robin themed man behind him. "Don't be so familiar with the enemy Beast Boy. They're intruders." His voice was solid in a I'm-in-command-don't-question-me bat sort of way, but the woman beside him noticed that he wavered slightly on the word 'enemy'.
"We're the intruders?!" snarled Superboy. "You're the ones trespassing on our headquarters."
The trio in front of them shifted at that. Both the woman and the green kid, 'beast boy' apparently, looked to the man between them who was surveying the team. Even with his mask they could feel his eyes scanning them.
"I find that hard to believe, Conner, since we have been operating here for the past decade at least." His tone clipped, and it was clear he used Superboy's name to bait him. "Not to mention 'you' just left 15 minutes ago and he," He jerked his head towards Batman. "Has been off world for the past week and him and his team are not due back for another two."
Batman narrowed his eyes into a full on Bat-glare, but the man was unaffected. "I don't know what you're talking about, but your conclusion is faulty at best. This cave has only been reinstated for use for the past year."
At this the Bat-themed girl stepped forward, placing a placating hand on the man's chest, drawing a strange look from him, and spoke for the first time. "OK, let's try another approach, we may both be misinformed. I'm Batgirl. This is Red Robin and Beast Boy." She gestured to the man and boy on either side of her. "We are members of the covert operation group off the justice league, Red Robin is the leader of another group, including beast boy, but they're still on call for us." She continued despite the incredulous look she received from 'Red Robin'. "In short, we're the good guys, but don't get any ideas." She concluded her info dump with a surprisingly perfected Bat-glare.
Robin, who had been paying close attention to certain comments was beginning to get worried, he had heard of incidents that could explain their situation, he watched enough movies, but it didn't seem possible. Against his better judgment and what he knew was an oncoming Bat-glare from his mentor he returned 'Batgirl's' favor. "I'm Robin," he began, which drew looks from both his team and trio blocking their exit. "This is my team, we are the covert operations team of the Justice league. I know because I'm one of the founding members." He didn't know why he added that last part but it felt important.
Aqualad stepped up next to play pacifist. "I am Aqualad team leader," this drew some raised eyebrows from the trio, interesting. "We were on a mission to stop Mirror Master from 'acquiring' a diamond of great importance to his plan, a plan that has apparently brought us here."
It was silent as both parties digested the Intel from each other. Finally Batman released a sigh, draw the attention to him. "where are we?"
Red Robin's jaw tightened. "I'm beginning to think you should be asking 'when'."
"oh please!" Artemis interjected. "Are you suggesting time travel?"
Beast boy smirked. "It wouldn't be our first experience with it."
Artemis shook her head. "No way, it's 2013 and your lying, just trying to trip us up." She tightened her grip on her bow and she brought her hands to her hips.
Batgirl sighed as Red Robin nodded to beast boy who changed into a bird a zipped off. "Yep that's definitely Artemis." She shook her head as the bird came back dropping what looked like a calendar into Batman's hands before circling back and changing back to Beast Boy.
Robin narrowed his eyes at the green guy before turning to Batman. "What does it say?" The only response her got was Batman's frown deepening, but that was enough for the boy wonder. "No way." He breathed.
Red Robin Smiled lightly at him, and Robin got the feeling that the older boy knew him. "Way, welcome to 2028."
Well, there you go the second chapter completely rewritten. To be honest I kinda like this version better. But hey, I'm not the reader, so let me know what you think and I'll try to update as soon as I can.
