-Setting-
Present day (non-timeskip)
The Titans have been enjoying a small period of peace for once. No supervillains are running amok and causing trouble (including a certain trio of Idiots) and thanks to their efforts normal crime has also gone down considerably. This leaves the Titans with quite a bit of free time (not that some of them mind), but that peace is about to be broken...
Chrononaut, a new supervillain with the power of time travel, has appeared in the Chrome Cities to cause a stir of his own, with his own plans to undo the Teen Titans that protect the Chrome Metropolis. By stealing items belonging to the Titans, Chrononaut intends to go back in time to each of their respective pasts to change history... in order to make sure that they never become Teen Titans. By changing a specific, crucial event in each of their pasts that would eventually lead to or cause their roles as Titans in their futures, Chrononaut alters their lives completely to ensure that they never became super heroes, so that his rise to power cannot be stopped.
Now, with each member of the Titans Alpha and Beta and their allies now living totally different lives in a new present-day shaped by the evil Chrononaut, can there possibly be any hope for the future of the Chrome Cities, or the world for that matter, when their only hope at salvation has never even met, or will the beginning that never was mark the end of the Teen Titans?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The city scene was quiet as night fell upon the Chrome Metropolis. The cityscape was aglow with lights from the skyscrapers and cars that filled the streets, and from a distance it made it seem like the city was sparkling with dozens upon dozens of tiny jewels. The mountainside where the Titans Tower was located had such a view. The entire city, both East and West sides, were visible from the mountainside, making it easy to spot trouble when it reared its head. However, tonight the city was calm and peaceful, a good change of pace from the usual mayhem caused by the super-villains that ran amok over in Link City a few miles away.
Sapphire, the leader of the Titans Alpha, sat atop the tower and watched the city quietly as a cool breeze swept past, blowing through her navy blue hair. Her white cat ears, arguably her most defining physical feature aside from her blue hair, twitched in the serene zephyrs as they brushed against them while her tail gently swayed on the ground beside her. As a superhero, moments of peace like this were short-lived, so she was enjoying it as much as she could. You never knew when a troublesome storm might be brewing beneath the calm surface.

(I techinically thought it was the other one whoops......but I'll post something here too i guess. If I need to change something, delete the other one or whatever, just text me Sapph^-^)
Ember leaned against a tree with her eyes closed. She had her earphones in almost at full blast, the ipod itself was shoved in her jacket pocket. She took a couple deep breaths and them them out slowly trying to relax. For most people, times like these when everything was quiet and no villians were running around was a chance to kick back and relax. Not for Ember. The idea of things being easy made her stress. She was on edge just waiting for the next villian to show up and wreak havoc. It wasn't the best way to handle things, she knew, but she wanted to be prepared.
Ember shifted til she was looking up at the sky. It had been a long time since she had been home, but she knew it was safer this way. Safer for her, as well as her people.

Days off didn't come often in their line of work. They'd even had to work on Christmas last year. Even though being a Teen Titan had been a dream of his since he was very small, the shapeshifting teenager really didn't mind that there wasn't much crime to be fought lately. All of his comic book reading would lead him to believe that the villains were just planning something huge, but he chose to ignore that for now. Sapphire was doing enough worrying for all of them. Hybrid was perfectly content to sit in the control room in front of their big screen TV and play the latest RPG video game for his newest game console. Sitting crosslegged way too close to the massive screen, the yellow teenager's fingers flew across the buttons at a rapid pace, mismatched eyes darting about as he pinpointed his next move. This was basically hand-eye coordination training, so it wasn't like he was wasting his time. Besides, it wasn't like there was much point in patrolling the city when no one was out causing havoc, anyway. Hybrid wasn't bored yet; give it a couple days and he'd be searching out the Idiot Squad just for a chance to test of his powers for something more than the obstacle course in the back of the Tower. For now, he was happy to have the time off. Even superheroes needed a break sometime.
(Hope it's okay to just jump in, guys. I feel really rusty with him, but hopefully it'll get better. xP)

A loud and equally long yawn escaped the mouth of a certain tech-wise Titan; an infectious one, if anyone else was around. She was, however, alone, and it was strangely quiet. Not that she minded. While she enjoyed releasing some stress once in a while with her teammates on some unfortunate villains, it had been much too long since she had some time to herself, what with the seemingly endless number of troublemakers running around the city. Why couldn't they be courteous and be a good citizen once in a while? Upgrade sighed. They're bad guys for a reason. She mentally slapped herself. She must have been more tired than she thought.
Groaning as she slipped out of bed, she slowly surveyed her work bench, eying blueprints for some new inventions, random pieces of scrap metal and bolts, the works. Despite the work she could do, oddly enough, she felt no motivation to do it, and decided it might be better to get some fresh air instead. Upgrade could hardly remember the last time she went outside of her own free will. If she wasn't repairing things around the Tower, she was tinkering with new gadgets. If she wasn't tinkering with new gadgets, she was pummeling some lowlifes. If she wasn't pummeling some lowlifes, she was eating. If she wasn't eating, she was sleeping. It was an endless cycle of a lifestyle that was getting very... Boring.
She mentally slapped herself again. "Being a Titan isn't supposed to be fun 24/7, Upgrade." The girl frowned, scratching her head. "As much as I'd wish it was..." Letting out a sigh, she raised her arms above her head in a quick stretch and exited the Beta Tower. She didn't get too far before deciding to create a metal disk from the thick rings around her gloves to use for transportation instead. At first, Upgrade figured it'd be nice to walk once in a while, but then realized why she rarely walked; it took up way too much time for her tastes. Why waste valuable time? It never occurred to her that the reason she might've been that tired was because she always rushed places, but what are you going to do? She hopped on top the metal disk and took off towards the other part of Chrome City.
As she neared Alpha tower, she spotted a familiar, navy-haired Titan perched on the roof. It had been a while since she paid the Alphas a visit, and Upgrade only grew more excited as she drew near. "Saaaaaphiiiiiiiire!" She called to the Titans Alpha leader, waving a frantic arm as she did so. "What's good, homes?" Once she was close enough, Upgrade leaped off the metal disk and landed safely on the roof, returning her transportation to its previous form.
Ooc;; Late, late, late. Sorry! I'll do better next time~

Kira had gotten up early that morning, very much, bored. The city had been quiet lately, kind of too quiet. Like a calm before a volcano erupting quiet. Though she didn't think there was any volcanoes in this area, so maybe something else was gonna happen?
With nothing else to do, she decided to head over to the Alpha tower to pay her friends a visit. She was gonna go try and scare Sapphire, but she decided for an easier target.
She slowly came up in the living room, watching Hybrid playing his game. Good it seemed he was really into it. She went back down into the floor and came up right behind the couch and she smiled quietly.
She reached her hands out, phasing them through the couch and she grabbed onto his shoulders, and put her face right beside his ear at the same time and she said "RAWR!" She jumped away giggling, looking to see his reaction.

Sapphire glanced up into the sky upon hearing Upgrade call to her. She smiled and stood up, waving to the fellow Titan as she descended from her flight to join her on the roof of the tower. Upgrade had been the technician of the Titans Alpha team before joining the more recently established Titans Beta, which had been stationed over on a small, man-made island clear on the other side of the Chrome Metropolis.
After two cities had merged together to form one gigantic haven of technological advancement, the Titans Myraid sought fit to assign two Titans teams to the area to provide sufficient surveillance and protection against the local super-villains, most of whom took refuge in the infamous Link City just a few miles away. The inhabitants of the city were the cause of most of the Titans' daily troubles, but then again, without their shenanigans there would be no reason for two fully-equipped Titans teams, and Sapphire--much like the rest of the two teams--enjoyed having both the Alpha and Beta teams there to share the load.
Sapphire was more or less the Titans Alpha technician now, which is how it had been before Upgrade joined prior to the formation of the Titans Beta team, but she admitted she was nowhere as skilled with technology as Upgrade was and frequently asked the tech-savvy Titan to lend her a hand with repairs and new inventions. Ironically, most of Sapphire's knowledge about technology stemmed from knowledge about alien technology, so a lot of Earth's tech was lost on her. Then again she seemed to have a habit of knowing all the wrong or most peculiar things, a fact that frequently landed her in trouble with the few dozen or so people that had it out for her, which had somehow become a running gag among the Alpha and Beta teams.
"Hey, there," Sapphire greeted with a warm smile as she stretched her arms and tail out behind her, her muscles feeling a bit "too" relaxed after just sitting around. "Not much, just enjoying the peace and quiet. It seems the usual troublemakers are taking it easy today, too. Were you headed off to the city?"
