Firebird of the Future Meets The Ravager – Part Two: Anna Grayson Meets…The Teen Titans For "A New Beginning Arc??"
/
All in the title, glad to be back – summer colds stink something wild..like my frizzy half Jewish Italian mane! So, let's bump back up to start! FYI: This is combining crossovers indirectly with my very first arcs so will try to incorporate as much from the synopsis of each so you don't have to! Enjoy the satire!

Anna was seeing a tower, a tower by the bay of San Francisco.
Not just ANY tower by that look she gave the future leader –
Had she realized how Dami was not a member…..wait….was this –
Past, the past! She'd somehow gotten –
"Rob….?"
A green dog….
She blinked, sand in her tresses of a fiery red.
A GREEN DOG.
Slade had not told her that Rose was, was…
Her dad's age almost!!!
Which meant…
This, was the first.
"Robin! Come quickly!"
"Mom…" Anna gripped her skull, feeling woozy from the landing.
"Robin!"
She drifted off into darkness as her body was moved from the rocky shore. Her eyes staying shut, as if she'd woken to a time, she hadn't asked for…
~ Maybe Slade has a clue on who can get me back…~
Knowing him, he cared enough to not want Grayson throwing escrima his way. Those things packed a wallop!

Eli stomped across the platform where Jenny was whistling away guiltily.
"You. All. Failed!" He flipped them with his powers, by far unfussed yet aware of so many government cases they'd have to rectify. They were this close to being terminated –
"A transmission just came through." Apollo told Eli S. "Should I open the channel to communications?"
Eli snorted and waved that it be done, just before the face on it broke his state of mind.
"Deathstroke…" Grumbled the ice – psychic and telepath from another era.
~ Should have guessed the trajectory wasn't off by an inch. ~ Commented the annoyed looking merc with his mask still in place. ~ My comrade was sent skyward into the great beyond by your mess up. Don't you kids ever read a damned manual? ~
"We don't want slime monsters terrorizing earth quicker." Eli snipped. "So, no. We sometimes WILL wing a situation to keep the mortal race from crumbling."
~ Good for you, then you deserve a cookie. ~
Eli growled as Jenny bounded over inside the still functioning space station to have the telepath "cool off."
In his case, it was to simmer.
"What can we do ya for, Death?"
~ First; don't ever call me that. Second…my teammate. Red spikey hair, foul mouth. She didn't skyrocket towards your end of the multiverse, did she by chance? ~
Eli gritted his fists, yet Apollo pushed the other teen back.
"We had a monster to kill." The truly golden guy spoke with earnestly. "None of us would have gotten to look over our shoulder for a child to fly into the ship's rearview, hon."
~ She's important. ~ Slade simply told the Authority's crew. ~ I can't lose sight of her. I made a promise to her parents, even if she's not exactly a child…. she's not supposed to – you have to fix this. NOW. ~
"And we will, Ds!" Midnighter put up a show of hands, trying to block this man from –
Too late.
~ That you, kid? ~
"Ah, not the same guy. Right Apollo – sun bun?"
"Oh, right!" The blonde batted his eyes insincerely, hoping he was acting the part correctly. Slade shook his head, not giving a hoot for this guessing game.
~ Shut it before I go and send a missile to land on your moon next –
"Should we really be fighting, blokes? I mean, we are on a search mission if this kid –
"The Authority didn't give us the time to help out others. We did enough."
Slade gawked at this audacious little snob. He didn't care? Anna was a goddess of rebirth for…. he just held it in. Then also, Rose would marry that halfwit and she'd probably been sent…
No. No no no. Not a first, he could handle this.
At least it wasn't magic. Science, he could do. Magic? Too messy.
~ I would rather get your bosses on the line, the kid is…is…. touched by a goddess of another realm. She can't be lost back in space time. Do you hear me? ~
"We know her backstory." Eli rolled his eyes, further pissing off the one-eyed killer for hire.
"Anna Grayson; carries the fire of the elemental phoenix of prophecy, rebirth and destruction. She can also use fire spells and weapons as well as carries a form akin TO the bird of legend. Protector of the Southern direction, or she will be." So smug, it pissed Slade off as he just shook his squinting eye at Eli before rubbing his temples. ~Can you, do it? Get her back? ~
"Without losing time for midday tea? Absolutely!" Jenny chimed in, receiving a scowl form Eli and a head roll from Apollo and Midnighter.
"When can you tell us all you know about the time and place of the incident?"
/
"I think she's finally waking up…"
"Back it up, Beast boy!"
"Oops, sorry…"
Anna felt like a robot being rewired to life, her limbs certainly moved like one as her eyes fluttered open to see five faces…
Oh….
She backed up and scrunced into the sofa where she was. Her hazel green eyes so far close to going star bolt on her own..family! This was weirder than when Ami had transported them into a series where they'd been helped in space BY the first Teen Titans! Aiden had let his soul leave his body twice that day.
Well, whatever illusion this was, she was so outta here.
"Who are you?? Dopples?? Spirits come to take my liver?? I'm not your tool, so back off!"
"Whoa!" she let the bolt fly as her body was enveloped in the fire of her elemental beast.
"She packed that in there?? No fair!"
"Way." Smirked Anna as she tried to move slowly, the heroes going with her as if to coax a baby crocodile.
She had bite and claws.
"She could destroy the tower." Raven pointed to how that fire looked unstable.
In Anna's time, she had control over it because she was fated to. Here, everything was reversed. She wasn't younger yet her spirit was less developed around the powers bestowed to her.
Which meant.
She felt the heat and let go of her spear tipped staff, starting up a real hot time as sprinklers did nothing for her magic flames.
"Shit! I'm sorry! Make it go down! Come on!"
"It's magic." Raven told her team as they realized that Anna, needed their help.

Anna was dripping with water by the time Raven had gotten the fire bird to quit it. Right now, Anna sat on the floor of a cell designed for magic and metas' powers. She felt as if this was…
Wait!
She turned to BB, who flinched and squeeled in the window as she put her face to the glass and banged on it.
"She's up! She's up! And she's totally gonna fry us for lunch!!" He bawled and ran behind Raven who rolled her eyes. Robin, Cy and Star all joined and turned on the sound to allow themselves to hear the gi'l's request.
"I…. Do you know a Rose Wilson? I'm looking for –
"Not with that fire going out to destroy the city behind our backs, yer not."
Cy got a dirty look from Ann as Robin spoke up after.
"You're not….a meta – human, are you? Or from another world –
"Another time." Anna crossed her arms. "And I'm breaking the time code to say it…I…am your kid more than ten years in the future. You and mom…. let me use my abilities to stop people like Lilith and Ares and all kinds of psychos out for –
"Whoa, whoa…. Ares? The god of war in Greece, ARES?"
Anna rolled her eyes. "I guess, you need to know this."
Dick nodded. "So, start." He furrowed his brows, confused as well.
"You, are my kid? In the future? With who?"
Anna blinked, tilting her head towards Starfire.
"Who'd you think it was? Aunt Babs?" She grinned, seeing both go bleach white and then red twice in a row.
"What?"
Cy scratched his head. "Why is time not getting messed up?? She had to give away secrets only WE could know."
"Cause." Anna shrugged as a bit of a pounding ache took over her father's skull too.
"You had better get some snacks and soda for this one. It's a long epic tale you don't wanna miss…"
/
So….
ROBIN AND HIS FRIENDS HAD DEFEATED BRUSHOGUN AND WERE ABOUT TO RETURN TO THEIR LIVES IN JUMP WHEN ALONG CAME A SPIRIT FOX HYBRID CALLED "VERAVAKUMU OR VERRA FOR SHORT…
/
tHE DARK DRAGON LORD ROKU WAS STOPPED, BUT HE LEFT BEHIND A CURSE, SAYING YOU DAD – YOU WOULD HAVE A KID WHO WOULD EITHER HELP OR HARM HIM WHEN HE TRIED TO REVIVE HIMSELF AND TOPPLE THE ORDER OF THE PLANE OF ALL EXISTENCE!
/
I FOUGHT A GOD CALLED HATI WITH MY TEEN BROTHER AND AVA WAS FREED, WE HEADED HOME – BUT LILITH WAS CORRUPTING ANNA AND SHE'D FREED APEP TO GO AFTER AIDEN…I THINK?...
/
RAKU BECAME A PART OF OUR FAMILY, AND WITH THAT….
/
Beast boy had drool hanging out of his mouth, while Raven's eye would not stop twitching, and Dick's skull was close to setting off into outer space. Kori actually enjoyed the tale, not trying to get too attached to its characters.
/
SLADE, YOUR ENEMY AND NOW MY PART TIME TUTOR –
"WHAT."
Dick stopped her there.
Anna groaned and threw her head back. "He's different, and he was being controlled anyway by –
"You can't be my kid." The hero shut his eyes and backed away. "Slade would never…. You didn't become his apprentice –
" No. I 've only occasionally run by him after my ops missions with a naval officer - who practically taught me to keep my cool in a fight to save the planet."
"Good thing she's not tellin' us how she got here…" Cy grumbled, earning a dirty look from Kori this time.
"She has been taken from her home and is not able to return? Can we not –
"No." Anna stopped the princess with her voice. "I want to go and find Slade's kid and make sure she doesn't marry the man who might break her heart in my timeline."
"Because Slade got you into doing this?" Dick was being too tough, but the story was many times over, the worst outcome! The consequences would wane once the gods got their memories erased of her ever showing up. It would…. right?
Would it? What if this wasn't HER world!! What if she had destroyed this reality! And her own!
"If this is your past, then think about how your actions might affect others. We do know a Rose on our timeline, but she's a Titan. Not some criminal who misses a madman or anything he has to say."
"Robin. She could be –
"No, Raven." Dick huffed. "And for your information, we are still seeing Verra. He's an ally, prety much in and out."
"Like a hound." Sniffed BB.
Anna's jaw fell. "Well, why then didn't you tell me?? What is your deal –
"My deal is that you suddenly came here and blabbed about all of the unfortunate things that are going to happen to all of us and used it as…. Your…. entertainment!"
The Titans were unable to back up either as Dick got very upset, Anna could have beaten in his face if he were her enemy.
"You think I don't know what that dragon's doing to our lives?? You don't know the half of it, so stay put and we'll find a way to send you back –
"No! What if…what if…that is Rokuro talking?!"
"He's not wrong then." Dick dismissed the red headed soldier as her fabled hero was lost to the shadows.
"Let me…. let me meet her, please!"
"You cannot." Kori shook her head. "Raven? Will a portal to another time and the place be possible to acquire with so many variables already in place?"
"It should –
A loud BOOM sounded as Dick jumped, running to the hallway without his team.
"This was the time… the time when Slade attacked!" Anna called out, yet her fire was starting to surround her. The portal opening as if to coax her through, unaware of what was happening.
Bb did not sense it in time; the rest was with a weathered shriek –
In the past as they said, as Anna returned to her present, empty handed and bitter.
She cradled her skull. He was so mad…. what…
~What…. what have I done…? ~
