Silence.

Then Nightwing burst out laughing, his eerie cackle from his Robin days filling the room.

The assembled heroes turned towards their comrade, shocked that he would be laughing at something that was very serious. Some of the older members of the Justice League and Team reminisced about Nightwing's Robin days while Batman just glared.

"Oh my gosh," Nightwing said when he calmed down. "You and Talia. No wonder the kid seems familiar. He acts like you and talks like Talia."

"I still don't see how this is a laughing matter," said Batman. He was a bit pissed that he got Talia, out of all women, pregnant.

"Because it's Talia. Daughter of Ra's al Ghul, a member of the Light, leader of the League of Shadows. So technically speaking you son is the grandson of one of your worst enemies," Nightwing said pointing at Batman. Batman glared further.

"Also, I thought you were more likely to knock up Catwoman."

Awkward silence.

"Moving on," said Captain Marvel.

The League and Team went on to test the rest of the cups. The results were:

Robin

Batman+Talia

Nightstar

Nightwing+Unknown

Scarlet

No Match

Abuse

No Match

Don and Dawn (a.k.a the Tornado Twins)

Flash (Barry Allen) +Iris West-Allen

Black Canary (Olivia Queen)

Green Arrow+Black Canary (Dinah Lance)

Kid Flash and Red Arrow

Kid Flash (Wally West; deceased) +Tigress

Speedy

Cheshire+Red Arrow

Zatara

Zatanna+Unknown

Offspring

Plastic Man+Unknown

There was a lot of worthy reactions to these discoveries. Nightwing couldn't speak coherently when he found out he had a daughter. Furthermore, he fainted when the computer suggested that DNA anomalies in the sample led to the conclusion of a human-alien hybrid, a seemingly impossible thing that couldn't happen. Superman himself stated has been trying with Lois for years. Everyone else was also on the verge of fainting themselves.

When he woke up, Batman continued testing the DNA samples. Scarlet and Abuse were tested and their earlier statement of not being related to the past heroes was proven true. Don, Dawn, and Olivia's statements were also proven true with the DNA test.

Tigress cried when she found out that future Red Arrow and future Kid Flash were her's and Wally's kids. Upon being pushed into taking a pregnancy test by the ladies of the League and Team, she did. The results came out positive, which also further validated the DNA test's results. Congratulations were handed out to the newly discovered future mother and Nightwing demanded that she go into retirement as soon as possible so as to not endanger the kids, to which she agreed.

Her mood changed when she found out future Speedy was Cheshire's and past Red Arrow's daughter, mumbling to herself under her breath that she would have to see her sister soon. Green Arrow promised himself a chat with Roy.

Zatanna, however, was not taken back with Zatara's DNA results. She stated his parenthood was kind of obvious anyway.

"Huh," said Superman when he saw Offspring's DNA results. Plastic Man had been asleep by now.

"That would explain things," said Superboy.

"Should we wake him up and tell him?" asked Beastboy.

"Seems right," said Captain Marvel. He nudged Plastic Man awake.

"Huh?" said a dozy Plastic Man.

"Hey, one of the kids from the future is you son."

"Oh. Okay," said Plastic Man before going back to sleep.

"Well that went well," stated Flash.

They didn't notice someone was watching them from the shadows. 'Phase one, complete,' she said over the mind link.

(Line Break)

Morning came, and all the past heroes who discovered their parents in the future were all up pretty early waiting to greet their kids and hopefully get to know them better. They got what they wanted, just not in the form they liked.

"What were you thinking!?" yelled Damian.

"What was I thinking, what were you thinking!?" Mar'i yelled back.

"I was trying to help you!"

"I don't need your help!"

"I'm in charge of you!" Damian winced, knowing what's coming next.

"So dad put you up to this, huh!? He seems to trust you a lot more than me."

"He trusts us both equally!"

"Then why did he tell you to babysit me!? I'm thirteen, haven't I proven myself!?" she yelled, waving her arms around drastically.

"It's for your own good!" Mar'i, in spite of her normally friendly nature, turned around and punched Robin in the jaw sending him flying across the room.

Robin got up, rubbing his jaw and glaring at Mar'i, who looked shocked. She usually kept her temper in control, and she had her mother's personality. Her father describes her as a sweetheart who wouldn't hurt others just for the heck of it.

"Is it always like this?" Beastboy asked rather loudly and rather obliviously. He received the glares of Mar'i and Damian and the "Are you insane?" looks from everyone else.

"Pretty much," said Jai, who was also considered the oblivious one by the future team. Robin just looked at both of them before storming out of the room towards the boys' dorm, quickly followed by Mar'i.

Meanwhile, Nightwing was a bit horrified at the prospect of dealing with this level of fighting whenever those two were around. He thought his future self should be granted sainthood. Batman, on the other hand, just hoped he still had his sanity in the future. They both stood in shock, staring at the backs of their future protejé, unsure of what to do in this situation. Should they comfort them? Should they not? Will they even accept it, despite their beliefs that their parents don't know who they are?

"Well, I say we just ignore those two until they talk it out. Inhibitor collars are in the room down the hall to the right, first door on the left. The password is 32567" said Green Arrow, a bit too cheerfully. The future team looked at him questioningly while the present heroes glared."What?" he asked.

"You literally gave access to a locked room filled with potential stuff to defeat you to a bunch of teenagers who just showed up out of nowhere" Olivia deadpanned. "Are you insane?"

"As a matter of fact, I am not" replied Green Arrow.

"Uh huh."

"Are you doubting me?"

"I've always doubted you." Laughter could be heard as Green Arrow looked about ready to blow. Olivia smirked and started walking away in the direction of the girls dorm to comfort Mar'i and hear her rantings.

"Seriously, your goatee is stupid. It's a wonder no one tried to shave it off in your sleep yet" she yelled from the exit, igniting a huge roar of laughter and a few light bulbs in some heroes' minds.

After calming down, the future team went to their respective dorms, to see if they could mend the current relationship strain that Damian and Mar'i were experiencing. However, there were some details that were left unclear from the fight. Hidden details.

'Do you think it worked?' Mar'i asked Robin through the mind link. Both the girls and the boys were in the girls dorm, left uncomfortable from the lack of space and the lack of breathable air.

'I hope it did. They should give us time to sort out our problems with each other. At least a day or two. It should give us more time to plan for the attack in three days' Robin replied.

Tension filled the air after the statement. The real reason, the real mission of coming to the past weighed heavily upon their shoulders. If they fail, the future may unravel from its foundations cemented by the team in this crucial time after Wally's supposed death. Savage will rule the world. They will not fail.

'Well' said Lian. 'Let's start planning.'
