Peter and Tim looked at Raven with a shocked expression as their captives sat there helplessly.

"You're sure?" Peter asked.

"Yes." Raven nodded.

"See?" Bart replied with a smirk. "How could you NOT recognize the Flash's speed, his good looks?"

"Guess you didn't take after your dad's side." Spider-Girl teased with an annoyed huff.

"Hey!... I'm fast." Bart replied with an embarrased look. "Besides, I know things only future boy would know." He said, gesturing to each of them. "Peter Parker. Tim Drake. And uh..." he paused with a puzzled look. "I think just Raven."

The three of them shared a concerned look after he mentioned their real names.

"Ooh! Ooh! Is Nightwing here too? What about Hawkeye and Beastboy?" He asked rapidly with excitement.

"Will you EVER shut up?" Spider-Girl girl sighed with an annoyed shake of the head.

"Come on already. Stop feeling the mode and start feeling the crash!" He joked, then looked at the theee Titans with an amused grin. "She's usually less grumpy than this."

"Uh huh." Peter nodded with an amused grin as he watched the two bicker and decided to bring their attention back. "Hey, hey, focus, you two." He said, causing them to look back at him quietly. "So, what gave you the bright idea to hop in a time machine and go for a joyride?" He asked.

"Hey, she's here too!" Bart argued.

"Yeah, but she's just trying to bring you home." Peter shrugged. "In a way, she's more on our side than you are."

"Thank you!" Spider-Girl replied with an annoyed sigh.

"Still can't let you go, though." Peter shrugged, causing the girl to deadpan with irritation. "Sorry." Peter shrugged. "We've been through a lot and to be honest... we don't know a THING about you apart from your powers."

The girl sighed at that and nodded, looking away avoidantly. "Yeah... You're right..." she looked off pensively in thought, even though her face was obscured by a mask, the three of them could recognize a conflicted look when they saw one. Finally after a moment of silence, she sighed again and looked back at them. "I'm NOT telling." She huffed, looking away stubbornly.

"Why not?" Raven asked sharply.

The girl tensed up under Raven's gaze and she looked away nervously. "Uh... well... I... Just don't wanna blow my secret identity years before I'm even born... okay?" She stammered. "I feel like it makes sense." She added with a timid shrug.

Bart laughed at that. "Hahaha! You're SO bad at this."

Spider-Girl peered at him with an irritated look, then kicked him in the leg. "Shut it!"

"Ow!"

"You can go flaunting your name around all you want, but leave me out of it!" She hissed.

"You REALLY aren't having as much fun with this as you should be." Bart replied with an amused grin.

"Well MAYBE it's not as much fun for everyone as it is for YOU." Spider-Girl retorted with an irritated hiss. "You ever think of that?"

The three of them raised a brow at that, believing that there was some truth to the secret identiy thing, but there was clearly much more she wasn't telling them.

"I never really got the whole secret identity thing, anyway." Bart shrugged with an amused laugh. "Seems SUPER retro to me." He said, grinning teasingly at his fellow captive. "Hipster."
