"Yes mighty and fearless leader. Y'know having a sense of humor about the job and not taking it seriously are two completely diffrent things." Tl says his ring glowing.
"Robin. My older self told me about what happens. I'd like to come with you to help when that moment comes. If you think i can handle the challange that is." He said it wasnt his usual demanding 'im going anyway' tone. He was actually asking robin if he would want him to come. "after all...if you tried to help me and i didnt want the aid depending on the situation i might just turn on you as well."

"And you still don't know the difference between them," The Boy Wonder growled. Robin almost lost his temper with Teen Lantern this time. If he hadn't been already trying to control his emotions he would have broken the boy's arm.
Instead he turned to Shinobi who was offering him help. Obviously what the future Shinobi had not told him was that he and the rest of the Titans would not be able to help Robin when the time came. That it would be him alone against the Joker, fighting for the lives of the Titans. No one wanted to tell any of them the details, mostly because the only people who knew was Robin, and the other member of the Bat-Clan. But he couldn't allow his friends to worry about it. He knew what was going to happen, and it was his problem not theirs.
"Thank you Adam." Robin said placing a hand on the ninja's shoulder. He turned back to the others and then joined them in the Super-Cycle.
"Let's go home."

"Aye aye captain." Tl said sending the energy from his ring into the super cycle making the by now familier reaction.

~Kon had had enough. People from the future came and told him that he will play a very importnat role in Earth's survival, and now he finds out that he is erased from excistance in a fight with Black Zero, in a hyper dome. The worst part is knowing that Kana will grow up with out her real mother or father, and will became lonley and confused, and end up hating him for not returning.
~Kon knew that they all shered a heavy berding, and it was all up to them to lift it. But what could Kon do? He was always undermined by all of the other hero's, even though he tried his best. But he now understands much more clearly that they all need each other. That they need to be more of a team. All of the hero's on the team were all too busy trying to proove how good they were, as a individual, not knowing that really needed to proove how good of a hero they were as a team. If they truley understand this, then they will all be unstoppable.
~Kon spent the last hour or so trying to talk to Kana. She was too upset to see her father again, wich is strange, coz she should really be making the most out of it. Kon couldn't believe how much of a hero she made, and he wondered what hero he will make. He know's the team has problems, and they will get bigger, but is there anything he could do to prevent this? Can he be a better hero? Or simply a better friend? Will he be able to save them all from the difficulties of being a hero? Well, he hopes so. But it won't be easy. Kon now looks at tomorrow as a new challenge wich he will rise to.
"Okay, lets go." "Wait!" Kon turns around to see Kana's eyes watering. "Good bye... Daddy." Kon's heart nearly broke. He tried his best to hide it too. "Good bye... sweety" They gave each ther a big hug, then he jumped onto the super cycle. "Can we go home know?" he muttered quietly. "I've had enough...."

"Your not the only one...dunce." Shinobi said. "I find out some maniac nearly kills my family...you've disapeared...champion dies...one of my few real freinds has his life ruined by that madman of a clown...harm seems more depressed then usual the only people who seemed to have any kind of happy future are Teen Lantern and that Saiyaman person...when i get home im going to undergo serious training. I will not become the teams deadweight. After all...as a team we are only as strong as the least reliable member right?"

~Kon thinks abot what he should say. He knows the team needs to came to together like they did when they were in Young Justice, but look what happened in the end? They needed the friendship wich they shered as Young Justice, but the determination of the Titans, and the will power of the JLA.
"Yeah, maybe you and me could train some time, dead weight."

"I'm not depressed!" Harm said getting into the Supercycle, in an almost scary tone. "I just have a lot on my mind." Harm realized he was technically on house arrest, so how would he be able to go after Doomsboy without the other Titans knowing? And if they did find out, would they assume that he'd gone evil again. "Maybe I am still evil." Harm thought to himself.

Robin wasn't listening to the others as they spoke to one another. He instead was looking down at the body of Champion. He was the first one of them to die under Robin's command, aside from... well... himself.
Although to the other Titans he was always confident and in control of the situation. Little did they know...
Within the Bat-Clan he was well known to not be the most confident person in the world. He was always afraid that he was no where good enough or worthy enough for the mantle of Robin...
But after today, those fears had come back with a vengence. He had let Champion die. There had to have been something he could have done! Champion was a bit of an idiot but he hadn't desereved to die. Maybe if he had detered Champion from the hero buisness or refused his application for the Titans...
This of course led to the question about what he could do to alter his so-called future...
The Boy Wonder let out soft sigh, that no one else seemed to notice. The air around them began to crackle with energy as the time-portal once again opened before them. The Super-Cycle lifted off the ground and in a blast of speed vanished, leaving a handful of former-Teen Titans to their own fates.
>> Continues in the Main Entrance, under "HOME AT LAST! Um... Yay?<<

It was only a week after his death. A day after his funeral, before she finnaly gathered up the courage...to play the cd.
Barbara and Dinah had volunteered to take Skyla out for a bit while she viewed Tim's last message to her. And she was greatful for that, even thoupgh she felt Dinah had some OTHER motives to try and hook up with yet another guy, but still greatful.
She sat in front of the large screen monitor that Barbara had insisted Rachael HAD to get, even though it didn't quite go along with the rest of the simplicity of her small little condo/beach house just outside of Tampa city limitys, with a balcony that looked out over the populated docks and beaches. She finnaly put the dvcd into the player and sat back in her chair, only to sit straight up at the sight of Tim.
"Hello Falcon... Rachel"
"If you are seeing this then that mean I'm gone. I know that I must have fallen against my battle with Joker. In the end I always knew that would be how it would end."
'But it didn't have to.' In her heart, Rachael always felt like it had been HER fault for the 'accident' which had caused Tim to loose his sight, voice, and eventuay his life. She had been dumb enough to get herself kidnapped and....infected. And then....to think that she needed time to heal and that Robin could win the battle without her. After that, she vowed NEVER to play the Damsel in Distress again.
"First and foremost: Don't blame youself."
'Too late for that.'
"This was and always had been my choice. I was the one who went to Bruce Wayne and told him I wanted to be Robin. And it was my choice to become Batman."
Rachael felt a sigh come from her mouth and slumped in her chair some.
"And second..." Batman pulled off the cowl, revealing a tired and beaten Timothy Drake, staring sightlessly back at Rachel with his artifical eyes glowing.
Rachael then felt a lump come to her throat, but fought it back. No. She refused to cry. But she had been there when the glow from those artificial eyes had dimed...
"I'm sorry."
"I want you to know that I never wanted to push you away. I know that I hurt you by leaving, but I just couldn't go through it. When we were younger we both spoke about how we wanted a normal life for ourselves and our family. But in the end I know that I couldn't give you that."
"Dangit Tim. I could care less about having a normal life anymore. Nothing in my life up till now has been normal." She scolded the screen, almost as if she was sure she would get ananswer back.
"I wanted to. God, how I wanted to. But I couldn't put you through the Hell that my life had become. I don't know if you should care, but I still love you Rachel. I never stopped and never will."
The fierce look that had been in her eyes vanished, and she looked away from the screen, silently wiping away her tears and glad that no one was around to see them.
"And third: I know."
"I know about Skyla, Rachel. I've always known. Do you remember when you gave birth to her? I was there. In the shadows, I watched as you brought our daugher into this world, and I could not have been more proud."
Rachael felt her head snap up and she looked at the screen. Stunned. What! He had been there! How had he tracked her down all the way to asia? How did he ever find out that she was pregnant in the first place? And, more importantly, if he knew of his daughter, why didn't he ever SAY anything, DO anything, take up SOME responsibility as her dad.
'Probably for the same reason that you never even dared to tell him about Sky'.' She thought to herself, ut that did nothing to ease her anger or her confusement.
"I know that you're angry. But I also knew at that moment, I could never be a part of your family. I had no right to place you and Skyla in danger. I could never be the husband and father that you and Skyla needed. But don't let yourself suffer because of me."
'Again, to late for that.' Then again, her and Skyla wouldn't have been that scotch free of danger anyway. She had ,many times, escaped from death while her daighter had been hundreds of miles away with old school friend who had become missionaries in Japan while she went on to become apart of 'Project Zion'. Up til the past year, she hadn't even been the MOTHER Skyla had deserved or needed. But she still worked long hours and weeks for the Birds Of Prey team, at least it helped to pay the bills...
"And just so you know, you and Skyla will be safe and well taken care of from now on. The moment that you played this CD, that made sure that everything I own is yours. The Manor, the Wayne/Drake Fortune, everything. They belong to you and will one day belong to Skyla."
Rachael hung her head. Even from beyond the grave, Tim tried t correct his wrongs. But she didn't want his money, she still wanted him. Still, it would be a help for when she moved back to Gotham. It was MUCH more expensive to live there and it looked like for once, she would have to take up another job or two. She looked around the half packed up living room and then, shaking her head, turned back to the screen.
"So please Rachel... Do not let yourself live alone. Allow yourself to be happy. Let Skyla to be happy. And let her know that I was and always will be proud of her and will love her with all my heart."
"I love you Rachael Simmons."
"Good-bye."
Rachael turned off the creen, got upp from the high backed computer chair, and headed out to the balcony, wiping tears her eyes and choking back silent sobs as she breathed in the fresh and clean sea air. In a few days, she would be going back. And she would do her best to Honor Tim's memory.
