Hi! Its me again. Sorry if this is a bit bad but after I uploaded the last chapter I was a complete brain shutdown and wasted a full day of typing. Yeah I'm a bit of an idiot, at least I got this chapter done, and I have decided to stop doing 'chapter parts' so now it will be one chapter after another that may or may not cover a single chapter. Also, I still have to get this out of my system; D'AWWW CUTE LITTLE ROBOT LOVERS! Sorry, it's just so damn cute. PLEASE REVIEW! Even if you're just asking a question I love it when I get a review, it makes me want to continue writing, I'm constantly bombarded by thoughts of 'your story sucks' etc. so if you ever have anything you don't understand, just review and ask. Also, I need a better summary. Any ideas accepted. Please help me!
Avanti and Allons-y
The Interrogation that never happened
Or
Yer a wizard, Danny
("But something is happening Doctor.)
(Unknown POV)
'Hmm, quaint.' Thought an unknown entity as he observed the room of the Dark Titan Raven Roth.
'She reminds me a great deal of that other girl. Although she has a much more pivotal future ahead of her.' The unknown entity began to admire the vast collection of books she had amassed over the years, when suddenly a loud cawing arose from the bedside table, followed closely by a grumbling sound and a loud bang. She was awake. The entity looked over his shoulder and then turned back to his perusing of her bookshelf.
Raven stands up and stretches like a cat, her exposed muscles pulling taunt beneath her pale skin. She suddenly looks towards the unknown entity for a minute as he uncaringly continues to look through her books. A minute later she shrugs, seemingly having not seen anything out of order by her bookshelf. She walks over to her chest of drawers and begins to pick out one of her leotard-and-cloak combinations when she suddenly places them back and pulls out a pair of shorts and a tee shirt. She begins mumbling incoherently as she walks to her in suite bathroom. A minute later the sound of running water starts up and a pair of loose boy shorts and a light tank top are launched out of the open door.
'I suppose that is my cue to leave.' He chuckles as a portal forms behind him. He floats backward into the blue portal and disappears. A few moments later a thoroughly soaked Raven appears at the door, naked as the day she was born. She looks about for a second or so and rushes back to her warm shower once the cold air gets to her.
(The master is part of a greater design.)
(Raven's POV)
"I can't believe that I forgot to tell Danny how to contact me. Although this does give me a good excuse to go visit him." Raven says, blushing at the last sentence.
She finishes drying her hair and pulls on the shorts and tee shirt she brought with her and starts brushing her hair. A few minutes later she is finished and starts to leave, but just as she reaches the door to the underground drive robin stops her.
"And where are you going? You went out just yesterday."
"I forgot to do something. Can I go now? I don't want to be late."
"To check in on a book I ordered and visit a friend."
"What, I didn't know you had other friends."
"Well I do and I don't wish to be late."
"Fine, you can go." Robin stalks off to his room, probably to sulk or obsess about something as usual.
(Because a shadow is falling over creation.)
(Raven's POV)
After another two hours of trying to find my way around town I finally set eyes on Turn The Page. I walk in as a small chime announces my arrival. I look around and see a few teenagers doing a report in the lower lounge area.
And then I set eyes on him. He was helping the teens with their assignment. He looks amazing in his black jeans and tight white long-sleeve shirt, not tight enough to be uncomfortable, but just tight enough to show off his delicious muscles. All of a sudden he looks up and sees me. He smiles and I can feel my heart melting. He puts his hands into his pocket and rushes over to me. I step aside so I don't get in the way of any other customers trying to get in. As he walks over I notice the music playing on the hidden speakers throughout the store.
This thing, called love, I just, can't handle it
This thing, called love, I must, get round to it
I ain't ready
Crazy little thing called love
'I . . . I'm not in love, am I?' I think as he finally gets to me.
"Why hello again. I didn't expect you back so soon." He says, smiling at me brilliantly.
"I . . . I'm sorry, I can come back later if you want." I quietly mumble.
"No no no, its fine. I just got your book copied last night"
"Really, that fast?"
"He's a fast worker and I pride my self on my customer service"
"Really? Customer service must be important to you."
"Well . . . That, and I cant refuse a pretty face like yours. Now let me get your book for you." With that he slid over the counter to get my book.
'Holy crap I cant believe he said that! I must be blushing hard enough to give off light!'
'That you are, my little raven'
'Archimedes, hello. I also came to speak with you; I would like to know more about you and Danny.'
'It would be nice to have someone other than Elder Daniel to speak with, but you should finish with him first, I do believe he has just figured out that he doesn't have your book up here.'
"I'm sorry but could you wait a minute, I don't have your book up here. Allow me to send my 'kid' Titan for it."
"Titan? Like the Titans?"
"No, like Titanium, that is his full name."
"Oh, so he is your son? I didn't know you were betrothed."
"I'm not, he's more of an adoptee. The little guy used to be with a friend of mine but he decided that he would rather be with me than get bullied at his old home. Excuse me for a moment."
He walks over to the door at the back wall and opens it a bit, I can see a dark stairwell behind it. He leans his head into the stairwell a bit and yells down it.
"Vanadis! Tell your lovebird to go and grab a book for me!"
"Which book? There's thousands! And we're not lovebirds!" A silky, wind chime like voice called up.
"Vanadis?"
"The other 'kid' staying with me at the moment. She and titan have been really hitting it off"
"Oh. Well that's god for them."
Suddenly a scuttling sound reaches my ears, and Danny's as well. He looks down and reaches out. He pulls up my new book. He hands it over to me.
"Here it is, 'Ledged of the book of Scath', That is the book, correct?"
"Yes, thank you."
'Your very welcome, milady."
Suddenly he looks down as a clicking, beeping, and groaning sound starts up. He nods and looks over to me.
"Titan was wondering if he could meet you, Rachael."
"Uh, its fine with me."
Danny reaches his right hand over t the computer and types something so fast I can barely distinguish the sound oh one key from the next. Suddenly I hear the sound of a piston hissing and a second later a small android rises off of the floor on a plate with a piston beneath it. It begins making that sound I heard a minute ago and I realize something.
'So THIS is Titan, I wonder who Vanadis is?'
The android, titan, makes that sound again and I realize he must be talking to me, or trying to at least. Danny notices I cant understand him and calls down the stairwell again.
"Vanadis! Come up here and translate for your boyfriend please!"
"Fine, and we're not together!"
"I didn't say you were."
The door opens and a two-foot tall android with a pixie-like frame flies up onto the counter.
"Hello there, my name is Vanadis." She says politely with a shy wave.
Titan pipes up with a series of sounds in that strange language of his.
"And he's titan, but you probably knew that."
"So these are your 'kids'?"
"Yep. Rachael, I would like to formally introduce you to T1T ^1U^^ and Vanadium."
"So you built them?"
"Yes and no. I customized the bodies from a Jumbo XVI and a Jumbo XV respectively, Titan in the XVI and Vanadis in the XV. Her name used to be NURSE but she changed it with her body. I made her to assist with my father and mother for when he is older. Her main program is currently dormant within the MAID program I made for them. I downloaded a segment of one of her personalities as a playmate for Titan but decided that she should stay."
"And are you always so open with what seems to be important trade secrets?"
"I am an excellent judge of character. Say goodbye Titan, Vanadis."
Vanadis waves shyly and Titan makes that weird clicking and groaning sound again.
"Well thank you for the book. How much will it cost?"
"Just twelve dollars. It is an old book but luckily he already had two copies so he gave me this one, he even said that he would enjoy getting to copy it again."
"Thank you again." As I hand over the money our hands meet. It's like an electric shock passes through my entire body, heating it up as it passes through. I walk over to the mezzanine lounge and sit down to read. After a few minutes of reading Archimedes flaps over and alights on the backrest of the incredibly comfortable chair, and begins to preen. After a few minutes of this I finally start the conversation.
'So what all do you know about Danny'
'Even I don't know everything about him. Only Two beings know it all, one of which is him and the other is his father, the powerful being to whom I owe a favor.'
'He mentioned his father earlier.'
'One of the three fathers, most likely.'
'Three?'
'Yes, three, a biological father, an adoptive father, and the man he truly considers to be his father. And it is the same with his mothers'
'This powerful being, what is he like?'
'Well, the only man near as powerful is Danny himself. I am not allowed to tell very much but know this, he is ancient, he is smart, and he is powerful, and there is almost nothing he doesn't know.'
'Wait, so he-'
'Most likely, yes'
I look down into the rest of the store and see Danny leaning back at the counter. He looks around and picks up a small puck-like stone and a small bottle of what looks like oil. He reaches underneath the counter and pulls out his swords. He then lays them on the counter and splashes a small amount of oil on the stone and starts sliding the stone down the sword edge, sharpening it.
'Ah yes, the swords. They are one of his most prized possessions.'
'Why are they so important to him?'
'They were a gift to him from a very important person a long time ago.'
'Who are they from?'
'He probably wont like me telling you this . . . but it was a gift from Julius, Julius Caesar.
'Do you mean the Julius Caesar?'
'Yes. The Emperor. They were a gift for his service as Legatus Legionis to the army of Rome. He fought as a gladiator for a decade before he joined the militia and worked his way up. The day he was made Legatus Legionis was the day the Gallic war started in 59 B.C.E. That was the day I first met him, Odin was curious about him and sent me over.'
'Oh. So how old is he then?'
'I wont tell you that, but I will tell you that it has three digits.'
'When was he born?'
'Somewhere around 1998'
'WHAT?'
'Spoilers, dear. I have already told you too much as it is.
'But-'
'All in due time, child' Says a new voice, sounding like a kindly old man, but as strong as a man in the prime of his life. The voice itself conveyed an unimaginable power.
Archimedes jumps back at the sound of the voice intruding on our conversation. He flees towards the gothic section as fast as he can indoors. I look up and see Danny looking about.
'Who are you?'
Silence meets my metaphorical ears. I curse silently and slouch back into the chair. After a few minutes of listening I slowly look down and start reading the book. After what feels like an hour and a half I close my new book and go down to order something to eat and drink. It's Danny who takes my order.
"And what can I do for you now ma'am?"
"I was wondering if you had any tea, and maybe a muffin?"
"Certainly. Any preferences?"
"Earl Grey and a chocolate chip muffin?"
He pulls out a fresh Chocolate chip muffin and places it on a small plate.
"The tea is downstairs. As a matter of fact I was just about to get some for myself."
He goes downstairs and returns five minutes later with a mug and what appears to be a laboratory beaker of tea. He hands me the warm mug and rubs the back of his neck, blushing.
"Yeah . . . I was out of mugs. I only really have one down there. I never really have much company over."
"Why didn't you just get a mug from up here?" He looks as if he has had a sudden epiphany.
"I never really though of that. I just got so used to giving Father the mug and grabbing a clean beaker for myself. Old habits I suppose."
"I suppose. So how much do I owe you?"
"Just three dollars for the lot of it." He says with a blinding smile.
I hand over the money with a small smile. I return upstairs and continue to read my book, after what feels like a half hour I look up again to see that Danny is no where to be found. I walk downstairs to look for him but I can't seem to find him anywhere. As I'm looking around I notice a clock on the wall behind the counter.
'Wow, its six already? I guess time really does fly when you're having fun. I guess I had better get back to the tower.'
I walk over to the door but just as I reach it Danny suddenly walks through carrying several bags of groceries. He backs up and stands to the side to let me through.
"Excuse me, and please come again."
"I think I just might."
(Something vast is stirring in the dark.)
(Raven's POV)
After wandering about for an hour I finally make it back to Titans Tower. I walk up the stairs to my bedroom and fall backwards onto the bed with my book in hand.
'It was nice to talk with Archimedes again so soon, I just wish that he could have told me more, and who was that other voice? Oh well, I suppose ill find out later. I still can't believe what Archimedes said about Danny . . . DANNY! I still need to tell the team about what I found out!'
I quickly jump up and out of bed but stop only for a few minutes to change out of my civvies, just because its important doesn't mean I cant be comfortable. After changing I rush to the living room, book still in hand. Once there I rush up to the computer and press the button to call the Titans to the living room. After a few minutes of impatient waiting they finally converge on the room.
"What's happening?" Asks robin once BeastBoy finally runs in.
"I have something important to tell you, all of you."
"What's up Rae? I've never seen you like this." Says a confused Cyborg.
"You know how I've been going into town the last two days?"
"Yeah, so?" Says BeastBoy
"Well I was visiting a relatively new bookstore called 'Turn The Page'."
"And?" Asks Robin
"Well the owner, Danny, has a pet raptor-"
"HE HAS A DINOSAUR?!" interrupts BeastBoy
"No, It's a bird raptor, not a dinosaur raptor, idiot" BeastBoy looks indignant and is about to interrupt again but I just steamroll over his indignant 'Hey!' and continue with my story.
"Anyway, this birds name is Archimedes-"
"What's so important about a bird?" This time it's Robin who interjects.
"I was getting to that. Well this bird, it could talk, not vocally, but with its mind. It was telepathic. It was telling me about Danny, who apparently is not who he seems. He called him 'Elder Danny' and said that he was much older than he seems. He wouldn't give me a number but he did say that his age had three digits, as in he could be anywhere from one-hundred to nine-hundred-ninety-nine. But that's not all; remember those swords of his apparently he did get them from a friend in Italy, in 59 B.C.E. from Julius Caesar for being Legatus Legionis during the Gallic War."
"I knew something wasn't right with him!" Yells Robin
"Yes, he did seem very strange." Says Starfire
"We need to get him in here for interrogation!" Yells Robin, he sure does love interrogations.
"Yeah!" Agrees BeastBoy.
"Wait, Wait! Remember what happened last time we brought him in!" Yells Cyborg, only to realize that he and Raven were the only remaining people in the room.
"Might as well follow them to keep them out of too much trouble." I suggest.
"Yeah, might as well."
(The Ood have gained this power to see through time because time is bleeding.)
(Raven's POV)
Cyborg and I finally manage to catch up with the team as Robin finishes picking the lock on the front door. We all slowly walk into the store. BeastBoy turns into a small green mouse and scampers over to the counter to get a look behind it, Starfire floats up to the mezzanine to look around, Cyborg shrugs and turns the computer on the counter around and attempts to hack it, Robin wanders down to the lower sitting area, and I stand it the door, wishing that Robin would be a little less emotional and think it through for once. Suddenly Robin calls out softly to us from the back.
"Titans, come here, I found something."
We rush over to him and look around. Robin points down at something and we all look down to see Danny. He's asleep on a large beanbag chair, but that's not all. He also has a sleeping Archimedes perched on his shoulder, cuddling into his head. I look down a bit more and see his two AI's resting at his feet, holding hands with Titan's circles and lines and Vanadis' flowers and vines glowing and pulsating softly while changing colors slowly.
'That is so cute, I wish I could be down there with him.'
'WAIT, WHAT?! NOT AGAIN!'
Suddenly Archimedes twitches in his sleep and looks up with one eye open.
'Did you have to think so loud, Raven? You woke me up from a wondrous dream.'
The team gasps at the voice in their head an look at Archimedes. The gasp was apparently louder than expected and woke Danny. There is a small flash of light at his left hip and right thigh, all of a sudden he is standing in front of us with a small shotgun in his right hand and it was pointed at us. We back up as he walks foreword, a cold and calculating look on his face. All of a sudden Archimedes flaps onto his shoulder and nuzzles into his neck, attempting to calm him down. Titan runs over and clamps onto his leg, making a questioning sound in that strange language of his. Vanadis flies over and wraps her arms around his left arm.
"Danny, What is happening? Who are these people?"
Suddenly his face seems confused and he looks over at Archimedes, down to Titan, and finally he looks at Vanadis.
"Well, guys, these are the Titans. They're the town local attempts at heroes, with emphasis on 'attempts', although what they're doing in my store at night and after I locked the door, I don't know."
"We came to talk to you and your bird. We know everything Danny, if that is even your real name?"
"What are you-" Danny attempts to respond but is interrupted.
"Are those AI's? Did you make them?" Squeals Cyborg in a most unmanly fashion.
A small smile appears on Danny's face and the shotgun lowers slightly.
"I made both bodies and Vanadis but I guess you could say I adopted Titan."
"That is so cool! How long did it take?"
"Only about an hour each."
"An hour! From scratch?"
"No, they were readapted from some training bodies I made for mine and my fathers AI's"
"What!"
"If I tell you will the lot of you leave?" He sighed.
"We still have other questions." Stated Robin.
"Fine." Agreed Danny.
"Good."
"Paulo batstardi" Danny mumbled.
"What was that." Questioned Robin.
"Nothing, just a little something I learned in Italy. Now what are your questions?"
"Tell me about your AI's!" Yelled Cyborg.
"Fine. I made BUTLER and MAID for my father, CARBON is my home AI, say hello CARBON." Suddenly a posh British voice pipes up.
"Hello all." CARBON says.
"I adopted Titan from a friend of yours, Fixit, unfortunately he still has yet to learn English. Vanadis is a part of MAID who is called NURSE. She and Titan are dating." Says Danny, the complement about their love-life meant as an aside.
"The bird said your old, as in triple digit old, and yet you managed to spend time over two thousand years before in Rome? How?" Questions Robin.
"How do you think? Time travel. How would you go back a few thousand years?"
"Well yes, but how. How do you travel through time?"
"My father, well, one of the three. Dad, Father and Clockwork. It's the latter that does the time travel."
"Why do you time travel?"
"It depends. I am the Timekeepers Apprentice. My job is to protect the timelines of the mother universe, this one, and all other universes and orthogonal dimensions. I do little things and big things, good and bad. I once suggested the book 'The Radioactive Boy Scout' to a young Taylor Wilson. I once killed a man who was never meant to be born. I whispered ideas into the mind of Roosevelt and Churchill. And I started the Great Fires of both Rome and London."
"So you're a murderer with a conscience?" Snarled Robin.
"No, I'm an old man who does what he can for the good of the people." Responds Danny with a sad look in his eyes.
"But you've killed people, hundreds of them!" Yells Robin.
"And when the master of time says that an event is out of place, that means that some people might die, and some might be saved."
"So you don't care if a few humans die as long as you dad is happy, right Dan? I'll bet-"
"GET OUT!"
I can suddenly feel his emotions. I don't know what robin managed to do but if the strength of these emotions is anything to go by, he might have just angered the most powerful being I have ever met. His anger isn't just rolling off in waves, it feels as it someone opened a portal to the bottom of the proverbial ocean of anger. But for some reason the anger is laced with sadness and immense amounts of guilt.
"but-"
"I SAID GET OUT!"
"N-no, w-we wont."
"YOU LEAVE ME NO CHOICE THEN!"
He walks slowly over to us while we're paralyzed by fear. Suddenly the universe itself began to bend around us spinning and spinning, the pressure became immense and slowly became stronger and stronger and just before it became almost unbearable it suddenly stopped and the spinning slowed and then everything was still, absolutely still (Yeah I went there). We were in the living room of Titans Tower. Danny slowly walked over from the shadows he landed in, his eyes glowing a radioluminescent green. He smiles as he pulls out a stick of some sort. He smiles and I see a vicious set of fangs glinting in the light.
"W-w-what are you g-going to do? W-what is t-that?" Stutters BeastBoy
"Oh its just something I got from an old man named Olivander. Bristlecone Pine and Thestral heartstring, ten and three fourths inches, springy. Life, death, and immortality all in one." He says with a tone of reminiscence.
"And what are you going to-"
"OBLIVIATE!"
I feel some sort of foreign power seeping into my mind and try to erase my memories. I slam up my mental shield to protect them. I sense the power tearing away at the shields, but they hold. Suddenly we all fall to the floor simultaneously. I hear Danny say something as he teleports away.
"Damn mortals, they really need to learn not to piss off random people, you never know when you might anger a king."
And then I my world slowly turn black as my shields fall.
(Shapes of things once lost are moving through the veil.)
(Unknown POV)
A float there invisibly, watching as the five Titans get up after the Obliviate spell earlier. They slowly sit up, groaning and holding their heads, all except Raven. She sits up quickly and silently, looking around as if she was looking for someone.
'Ah, so she remembers. How interesting. Another twist in the parade I suppose.'
She then snaps her head to the side and stares straight at me.
'That's curious, it would seem that she can still sense me even if I hide myself. I suppose I should try harder.'
I focus a small bit more and see her slowly turn her head away to look over at her other teammates.
(And these events from years ago threaten to destroy this future and the present and the past.")
(Raven's POV)
"What happened? Why are we on the floor? Why did you call us here?" Asks Robin.
"Yeah man, I was almost asleep." Groans BeastBoy
"Yes friend Raven, why did you request us?" Asks Starfire.
"I . . . Didn't. I must have slipped and hit the call button. I'm sorry."
The three leave to go back to bed, leaving just me and Cyborg.
"For some reason there is a half hour gap in my hard drive, Do you know why?"
"I might. I think it has something to do with the store I visited today, and something about a magic tree house?"
"Magic tree house?"
"Disregard that. I think we might have broke into his store but that's all I got."
"Why would we-"
"I don't know! It might have something to do with a bird named Archimedes."
"Well, its late. I'm going to bed, we can figure this out tomorrow."
"Okay, until tomorrow."
"Goodnight Raven"
"Goodnight."
He walks off leaving me all alone, I stand there for a moment before going to my room as well. Once I get there I change into loose shorts and a large green shirt with a small stylized DP over the heart and a collection of other unknown initials such as TOS, TAC, TWG, TotS, TBO, and TES among others, all stylized differently. I don't know where I got it from but I have had it for as long as I can remember. I sit on my bead trying to remember what had happened that night. I sit there getting more and more worried. Thankfully I got better control over my powers to allow a bit more emotion but not much. Before it could get any worse I reach for the only other thing left from my childhood on Azarath. I reach under my bead and pull out a chest. I open it and inside are a set of . . . Stuffed dolls.
In the chest is a sheet of foam with twelve spaces carved into it, the top four of which are empty. The middle and bottom four are filled although. On the middle there's a white yeti-like creature with a see-through left arm, a blue-skinned man with red eyes, a wisp-like tail instead of legs, a scythe and a grandfather clock in his chest. Next to them is a short, long-haired brunette swathed in black with a pair of katana on her back and a shadow in her hand, next to her is a young pirate with a skeleton bird on his shoulder and a peg leg and arm. The first on the bottom is a tall robot with a Mohawk and a detachable head and a small frog-like green creature, Next is a grey skinned hipster with a beard, a purple overcoat, a grey scarf glasses, and green eyes with a quill in one hand. Then there is a tall, flaming pinkette with black eyes, four arms, Greek dress and breastplate with a small wooden box. And the last is a small green puppy with its pink tongue lolling out, black ears, and a black spiked collar with the stylized DP tag and another, which says 'Cujo' on it. This one is also reversible and turns inside out into a larger, adult version with larger tags and no tongue. I pull out the yeti, the clockwork man, and Cujo and hug them to my chest. Minutes later I feel my eyes getting heavier and I slowly fall asleep.
("What do you mean?")
(Danny's POV)
'ARCHIMEDES!' I call out telepathically as I teleport back to my shop.
'Erm, yes?'
'What did you do!'
'I don't know-'
'You know what, no. You know what I'm talking about abut I know you're not going to be telling me. You're going to Vlad's for the rest of the week.'
'But-'
'And that's final!'
'I'm sorry.'
'Go be sorry with father and mother . . . and Frootloops as well.'
'Please, not the cat!'
'Too bad, now come on, were 'porting to Wisconsin.'
Archimedes flutters sullenly onto my shoulder. We teleport into the home of my adoptive father.
("This is what we have seen, Doctor.)
(Danny's POV)
Archimedes and I appear in Vlad's front hall. After walking about for a minute or so I accidentally run into someone.
"Hello Jessica, I'm here for mother and father."
"Hello Master Danny, I've missed you so much, it has been too long since I last saw you."
"It's been even longer for me, Jessica, and please call me Danny, theirs no need to call me Master."
"Oh course, Danny. Your mother and father are in the kitchen cooking."
"Thank you Jessica. I do believe that I have a gift for you on me somewhere . . ."
I pull a small, round, grey stone, and a hammer of course, out of a hammerspace I materialize behind me. I hold them out and present them to her.
"Oh . . . Thank you, Danny . . . what a thoughtful gift."
"Remember Christmas, 2019."
"Yes . . . OH! Thank you !"
"You're welcome."
She walks off with the rainbow geode made. I continue walking towards the kitchen and walk in to find Vlad and his wife Veralidaine, or Daine as she prefers, drinking tea and eating salads made fro the flowers of the Royal Empress Trees I secretly planted across the property five years ago. I sneak up behind them and prepare to scare them when suddenly.
"BOO!" A voice shouts from behind me.
"GAHH!" I scream, in a very manly fashion.
Vlad and Daine are rolling on the floor laughing hysterically. I stand up and brush myself off as a clone of Vlad is reabsorbed into him. I walk over and sit down across from their seats and steal a bit of salad from them both. A minute later they find their seats again and wipe the tears fro their eyes, still chuckling a bit.
"I still love that I can manage to spook you Daniel, King of the Ghost Zone as well as lord of the Phobos. Panphobia himself!"
Daine still can't form coherent sentences so she just laughs a bit more.
"Yes, yes. Poke fun at me for dropping my façade around family. I suppose I just wont give you my gifts then. Harrumph."
Daine and Vlad perk up at this.
"We're sorry Danny, please accept my apologies."
"Hmm . . . Fine. A few thirty-one thousand and eight-hundred year old seeds for Silene Stenophylla, and for Daine, A hand-made space diamond."
I set down a small bag of seeds in front of Vlad and a small, grape sized, multi faceted diamond sphere.
"I must go add these to my collection, Thank you Daniel."
Vlad rushes off to the backyard garden shed to put the seeds in the temperature controlled seed protector. Daine slowly picks up the diamond and turns it in her hand. The gem catches and magnifies the light causing a magnificent effect.
"Danny, I don't think I've ever seen a gem this beautiful before. What do you mean about hand made?"
"I put the necessary amount of carbon into an asteroid and launched it around a neutron star a few million years back and then caught it again a few years back. I even cut it myself. I hope you like it."
"I do, its beautiful. I'm going to go put this on my bedside table."
She leaves and I walk out to the garden shed to speak with Vlad. As I arrive there I see him watering the various ancient plants I brought back for him. I knock on the door and he stands up and open the door.
"So, father. I was wondering if Archimedes could stay here for the rest of the week?"
"Of course, little badger, but may I ask why?"
"He decided it would be a good idea to tell a few secret to a idiotic, hot-headed Titan."
"Ahh, I see. Is there anything else?"
"Yes, about what you asked me last month. Are you sure?"
"Yes, I wish to be with Daine for the rest of our lives, permanently."
"Alright, I just wanted to make sure you were sure."
"Thank you, Daniel. You don't know how much this means to me."
"Your welcome, father."
(The darkness heralds only one thing: the end of time itself. ")
And Scene
*fades to black*
I'm so sorry for updating late. Also, I have decided to do a little some of the week bit. It may have nothing to do with the story but whatever. This week is "Scalliwag" by "Gaelic Storm"
Review responses:
Demonata1-04: Doctor who quotes are certainly the best.
zoeshade: Sorry if it's a bit confusing, I'm a major geek and a genius going to a rural school in the bible belt so its difficult to find people who understand me and this is the second best option.
jeanette9a: Thanks. Hint, tiny bowler hats *wink*
lunalovegood0628: 'Tis fine, I feel like that most of the time. Luckily my father is a major whovian and my sis loves Tennant and Smith and my mother is beginning to like it. Weeping Angles?! *stare*
nico dragonrider: Its nice to see how much you like my story so far.
"Bye! *dissolves into a pile of space diamonds and gold with a tiny bowler hat on top*"
