This Moment in Time

Summary: When Starfire and Robin look into their future, they see that they have been separated. Hearts are broken, worlds are broken. They must go back into the past in order to change their future.

"Ah, the Teen Titans. Come to stop me? Well, I'm sorry to rain on your parade, but I'm afraid that it's you who will be stopped this time." Adonis picked up the toxic barrel that held the chemical needed to power his suit. "This should do it."

"Yeah, so should this! Titans, GO!" Robin sprinted ahead of the team and struck Adonis on the knee with his bo-staff. Shattering the kneecap, Adonis stumbled, and struggled to get away from the attacking team.

Raven looked around the crowded laboratory where the battle was taking place. There was nothing that she could throw by levitation, besides the toxic barrels. However, she could not risk the barrels cracking and leaking chemicals all over her and her teammates.

Cyborg unhinged his arm and charged up his laser cannon. "Wheeeeeeee-BAM," went his cannon, as it started to power up but then faded, as a barrel, thrown by Adonis, struck Cyborg on the same arm.

Beast Boy transformed into an ostrich, and pecked quite hard on Adonis' thick armored suit. A crack appeared which proceeded to travel down the remaining suit, and split it, head to torso to toe.

"Adonis is out of his shell," Reported Beast Boy. Transforming into a rhinoceros, Beast Boy started to charge at Adonis.

"Beast, Boy, no!" Starfire cried, as she sped in front of Beast Boy to stop him. Beast Boy grinded to a halt.

Robin stepped in, as Raven levitated Adonis.

"Beast Boy, it's over, we can't attack him any more. He's out of his suit and on his way to jail. Remember, if he can't attack us, we can't attack him. That's our rule."

There was a flash of light and a momentary rupture in Raven's thoughts.

A young woman stood in the torrential rain. Hair sopping, she glanced back only for a moment to the man behind her. She turned around in a slow circle, as if to take her last look at the world. Then, she flew. She flew higher and higher, farther and farther, until you could no longer see her scarlet hair flailing in the wind. The boy behind her shook in fury. He held his head back and screamed. And then he walked away, never looking back.

"Aghh!" Raven fell, releasing her levitational hold on Adonis. He fell, and scrambled to get away, but his left leg where Robin had struck him held him back from escaping.

"Oh no you don't," laughed Cyborg, as he gently lifted Adonis up in his arms. "Why leave now, when we were having so much fun?"

The other titans flew to Raven's side.

"Raven, what happened?'

"Nothing Robin. Nothing at all." Raven stood up slowly, leaning on Beast Boy's shoulder for support as she raised herself.

The three looked at each other as Cyborg followed with Adonis cradled in his arms. They knew something was up, but they also knew not to pester Raven. If it was important, she would tell them when the time came.

The five titans dropped Adonis off at Jump City's jail, then drove home in silence. None of them dared to utter a word about what happened at the battle.

Once at the tower, the titans went to their rooms. Beast Boy and Cyborg refrained from playing Gamestation; they knew that now was not the time. Starfire, Beast Boy, and Cyborg retreated to their rooms, whereas Robin and Raven stood patiently in the kitchen waiting for the others to leave.

"Robin," Raven said, as Robin opened his mouth, then closed it, as not to interrupt. "I want you to see this." They held hands, so that Robin would be able to experience what Raven saw through contact. They both closed their eyes, and Raven reminisced her premonition.

"… The boy behind her shook in fury. He held his head back and screamed. And then he walked away, never looking back."

Robin and Raven opened their eyes. "Yes," Raven said. "It is you and Starfire."
