This Is My Future

Chapter 2

Artemis' P.O.V

"Artemis?" I heard someone's voice echo, "Artemis?"

My eyes fluttered open and I found myself looking straight up at Robin.

I bolted upright.

"Artemis?" Robin asked gently, bending onto one knee, "Are you all right?"

I nodded, "I'm fine. Are you okay?"

He nodded. I noticed he wasn't in his suit anymore and neither was I.

"Why are we in our civilians?" I asked.

"I..." he stopped. "I have no idea..."

"Where are we?" I looked around.

"Refer back to previous answer..." he said.

I nodded and stood up. "I don't think we're in the Gotham Outskirts anymore," I said looking around. We were in a park.

"I don't even think we're in Gotham," Robin responded. "Even in this morning dusk...this place looks kind of cheery."

"Definitely not a Gotham trait," I commented.

"Yeah, no kidding."

I looked around the park as the city seemed to start waking up. People entered the park at all ends and some walked past. Cars honk and screeched as morning rush hour already started to choke the streets.

"It sure is busy like Gotham," I muttered.

"Keep an eye out," Robin said turning toward me. "Make sure no one's looking when I pull up my holocomputer."

I nodded and turned my back on him looking around us more. As I glanced around a random guy suddenly caught my eye, he looked familiar, but I couldn't place him.

I watched him for a minute until he disappeared in a crowd of people. I shrugged and turned back to Robin.

"Robin?" I asked concerned. His face was stained with dismay and drained of all color. "Are you okay? What's wrong?"

"We're in Blüdhaven..."

I furrowed my brows at him, "So?"

"In five years..."

I raised an eyebrow confused, "What does that mean?"

"Artemis," he breathed. "...we're in Blüdhaven, in the year 2016."
