Chapter 2
Now the Bat family, and Ren, were gathered in the Batcave.
Both Dick and Bruce were now in uniform.
Batman maintains the glare on Ren as said boy shifts uncomfortably and begins talking to Tessa.
"Now you start explaining. Everything. Especially why that boy is with you."
"Um... I'm right here ya know..."
Batman sends him another glare and the poor boy stutters.
"Shut-shutting up now!"
Robin cackles and Tessa just sighs and begins.
"Alright um... I left a year ago because ever since I turned sixteen I was having visions of my birth-home. Ether. The visions showed me something was wrong and all I ever felt was danger so I had to leave to find out what was going on... and I knew all three of you would try to stop me."
Silence. They knew it was true.
"It was only a few hours when I ran into Ren. See, the visions made my memories come back to me. And one of them, was Ren being my best friend. Since I came to Ether both Ren and I have been in training."
"For what? You've already been trained by Bats."
"Well yes. But we were being trained to be Etheranian Masters..."
Alfred raises an eyebrow, Robin looks confused, and Batman just looks like, er, Batman.
"That doesn't matter right now. Anyways, early this morning Ren dragged me somewhere we shouldn't have gone."
Now Tessa is glaring at Ren as well but he just shrugs.
"We found something... um Ren?"
Ren takes a bag and pulls out the orbs.
"We found these orbs. One is Young Justice..."
This got a little reaction from Batman.
"And the other is called Teen Titans..."
"Teen Titans? Nice name..." says Robin.
Tessa smirks nervously.
"I would think so. These orbs show past, present, and future of each dimension. But... these orbs are a split dimension. Different time periods and we... accidently merged them together..."
"Meaning?" questions Batman.
"The Teen Titans are here when they shouldn't be. Their time is in two years. So we need to find that team and get Young Justice here so they can watch the orbs. These orbs have ethereal intelligence and we confused them by blending them together. Once the two teams watch these it will remind the orbs which is which and the time continuum will fix itself..."
She's pretty much out of breath. Alfred is indifferent, Robin looks... like he was slapped by Starfire, and Batman looks completely calm.
"So why do you need the Batcave?"
Tessa rubs her temples and sighs.
"We needed a secure place. And this is about as secure as it gets."
Batman nodded and stood up.
"Fine. I will call the Mountain now. You two find that other team."
"Wait seriously? You're not shocked at all?" asks Ren.
"I've heard, seen, and done stranger things kid. Now go!"
Tessa pulls Ren with her and heads to a Zeta tube.
"I don't think your dad likes me. In fact... I think he hates me."
"Nah if he hated you, you would be in a carbonated state right now and over there."
Tessa gestured to the t-rex and giant penny.
"Oh... charming."
"Recognized: Tessa Wayne and guest."
Once they leave Robin turns to Batman.
"Um... would you really put Ren in a carbonated state?"
"No."
Robin sighs, relieved, and turns around until Batman speaks again.
"I don't have that ray with me right now."
Robin practically sweat drops as Batman sends out a call. Seconds later Kaldur shows up on the screen.
"Batman, do you have a mission for us? Where is Robin? He did not report for training..."
"No and Robin is here with me. I need you and the others to zeta to the coordinates I give you..."
-----------------------------------------------------------
"How do we find them?"
"They live in a giant "T" on a small island overlooking the city. Shouldn't be that hard to find."
Ren rolls his eyes.
"Well this city looks better than-- gah!"
Both teens jump back as a billboard crashes right in front of them.
Looking up they see a fight going on.
Both teens look at each other and crouch down behind the fallen billboard.
"Any ideas Tessa?"
"Yeah. It looks like they're about to finish and once they do, go wolf on 'em! But only bite the neck so they get knocked out. That way they don't get hurt..."
Tessa turns into a beautiful, shiny black wolf and Ren turns into a dark brown wolf with black tips on his ears, tail, and paws.
They transformed just in time, the fight just ended.
"Do it quick, we don't want to have to fight them."
Ren nods and speeds off to the right while Tessa goes to the left.
Tessa is lowered next to a flipped car.
Just a little closer... Ah ha!
She leaps up and pounces on Raven and boy does she look mad.
Tessa, knowing if this one gets loose it would be near impossible to catch her again, quickly bites her on the neck.
No blood is drawn and no mark is left.
Yet, Raven immediately passes out.
"Friend Raven! Monster, get away from my friend!"
Tessa quickly moves and pounces on Starfire and does the same. Getting the same result.
Looking up, Ren has Cyborg and Beast Boy down. Which leaves...
Of course...
Ren trots over to Tessa... and then was promptly tackled by... Robin.
This is... going to be the worst...
Tessa pounces on Robin from behind on his back.
Ren slightly whimpers but Tessa just ignores.
Instead, she puts a gentle paw on the side of Robin's face that she can see.
He stops struggling for a moment, the touch seems strangely comforting to him.
Tessa bows her head to whisper in his ear.
"I'm sorry little bird..."
Robin jolts in surprise but then slacks as she quickly bites, the effect immediate.
Tessa carefully gets off him, turns back into the human form and lifts Robin up.
Ren turns back as well and grunts as he stands up, rubbing his back.
"Now how to get them all back..."
Ren grins and pulls a small device out of his pocket and shows it to her.
Her eyes widen but she also has a big smirk.
"Ren, you didn't..."
He shrugs.
"Hey what Vilax doesn't know won't kill me. Now lets go!"
Ren types in coordinates, pushes a button, and the two Etheranians and the Titans are back at the Batcave... Young Justice time.
Wally was questioning Robin, Artemis and M'gann were looking around, and both Kaldur and Conner were trying to get answers from Batman.
Keyword: trying
"Uh... excuse me?"
Everyone looks to Ren who spoke and then the pile of bodies behind them.
"Uh..."
"Cool!" yells Robin.
He runs on over and starts poking his older self... which causes him to wake up.
Both Robins shout and jump back.
Titan Robin pulls out a bostaff and looks like he's about to attack until... he sees his old team.
He drops his staff, his white lenses wide. He them notices he's... well home.
"Why... am I here? Why... are all of YOU here?!"
Tessa puts a hand on his shoulder while Ren is busy waking up the others.
Teen Titan Robin turns around and seems to notice his sister for the first time.
"Robin... its okay. I promise. Look... your team is fine."
Yeah, the Titans were awake but they didn't seem to happy.
"Look, I and my friend screwed something up. And both of... your teams need to see something to fix it. Once that's done you will all go back home... and you will not remember this. Alright?"
The Titan Robin didn't look away and only nodded. As Tessa started walking away, the Titan Robin grabbed her arm and pulled her into a hug which frankly surprised the Teen Titans.
"I missed you T..."
Tessa hummed an "It's okay little bird."
She pulled away and walked to Ren who was trying to decide which one to do first.
"Just do Young Justice first Ren."
He agrees and throws the orb up into the air.
It levitates, and projects images that almost seem to come to life.
Both Robins seem to size each other up before sitting with their respective teams.
