Hey guys. This is going to be an interesting story that I am cooking up. I am appart of a roleplay group on Facebook and made a character on there that they liked (for some reason, LOL). Anyways, he was one of my favorite OCs that I made and thought about it for a while about if I should do this. However, after talking to them about it, I decided to go ahead and go through with it. I am truly excited about this one and cannot wait to have this story be told. This will take place after the incident where Terra gave up her life to save the Titans in the 2003 TV show and just after the events at Brother Blood's hideout. I do not own anything from DC or DBZ.

PROLOGUE

Date: July 30, 2009

Before them was nothing but rubble and graves. Where once stood the secret base of Midnight Fire was now nothing more but ruin and quickly made graves overnight. Batman stood over the scene with his usual scowl as Superman and Wonder Woman looked around the debris. "What could have happened here?" Superman asked, astonished at what he was looking at.

Batman counted the amount of graves that were present before them, then went into the League data base and pulled up the roster list for Midnight Fire. The result made him more agitated than when he did not get the usual call from the secret group.

Hours were spent, searching for any evidence of what could have occurred. The only conclusions they got were that something major happened that caused the lives of Midnight Fire to be extinguished like a dying flame. There were some traces of blood on the rubble, indicating that it was a gruesome fight.

The super group was ready to leave when Batman looked over the hill nearby, noticing graves were made, as if it was all in a quick hassle. Sticks were made into crosses and the dirt looked freshly piled up as if they were finished mere hours ago. Batman took note of how many graves there were, making a stern face.

Wonder Woman flew down next to the two others with a questioning look. "What is it Batman?"

Batman turned to the graves before them, his face bore a grim expression. "There are twenty-four graves that are present here. When I pulled up their roster list, there were twenty-five."

Wonder Woman's face went into shock. "So, you're saying -"

"That someone from the inside did this?! But who and why?!" Superman added.

Batman scrolled through the roster as he looked at each individual involved in the group. He came across three that stuck out to him. "I cannot tell who did this, but I can pull up three reasons why."

He turned to the other two Justice Leaguers who wore questioning faces as he pulled up the profile of a woman. "This is the leader of the group named Megumi. She was a shadow manipulator who founded the Midnight Fire sect. She has gone on countless missions for us, thus making a lot of enemies with different groups. This could have been a way for one of them to get back at her."

Superman nodded and scratched his head. "That would make sense, but I do not think that this would be the true reason."

Batman nodded. "And that is why I have another suspicion." He then pulled up two profiles of two young boys, no older than 10, that were also in the group. After Wonder Woman and Superman read through, their eyes widened. "They're… but I thought they were wiped out in the fight all those years ago?"

Superman scowled. "That is what we thought too. Maybe one of them had a kid that they sent away and ended up here. That could be why there are 24 graves and not 25. The one that lived could be the one that was taken away."

Batman glared. "Or, the one who did this."

Wonder Woman felt a strong anger rise up. "They are kids! They would not do something this gruesome!"

Superman sighed. "They are, but they are… you know… and they have been known to be very dangerous and ruthless. Not these kids specifically but still."

Batman nodded as he took some samples. "And considering there are 24 graves that means one of them is dead. Or both. This is why we need to find out soon what happened so we can prepare for what might happen."

Date: August 15, 2017.

Batman starred at the screen, reading once again the files of the events that occurred at Midnight Fire's base. It was over 7 years since the event, and the only thing they figured out was that Megumi was indeed dead. They did not know who the survivor was, who committed the act, or why it even occurred in the first place. Batman never failed at finding an answer, but this case was like an enigma to him. There was barely any evidence of who could be the survivor, let alone who the culprit was.

Flash came into the Watch Tower command room and walked over to Batman with a full pizza pie. "Hey, I got us some dinner. You want any?"

Batman merely ignored what the speedster said, still too focused on the case. Flash looked up and saw the case, sighing. "You know, this case has been closed for over four years. You should give it a rest."

Batman sent daggers at the Flash, prompting him to quickly shut his mouth faster than he could run. "The culprit is definitely out there. That means something like this could happen to any of the other groups. The other leaguers stationed on the globe, civilian police…" He hesitated for a second. "The Titans…"

The Flash sighed and rubbed his head. "You need to relax. Getting worked up like this will just make the situation worse. Jeez, and you wonder why Robin is so much like you."

At the mention of his former protégé, his tense body relaxed, a small smile on his face. "Yeah, I guess you are right about that one."

The Flash smiled. "Wow, you are agreeing with me? I think the world is going to end." He joked.

Batman turned to his partner. "I can make yours end if you don't keep it quiet."

Flash shrugged and took a slice. "You know, I feel a bit bad for the kids. They have been doing what we are doing, yet they should be enjoying life. Not being too worked up on what is going on in the world. Being kids."

With the words leaving his mouth, Batman gave a smirk and exited out of the files. He then typed on the screen "schools near Jump City", watching as the results flew up in front of them. He smirked as he looked at one in particular: Murakami High School. He turned to his speedy counterpart and smirked. "There are times where you come up with good ideas. You know that right?"

The Flash looked confused as the Dark Knight grabbed a few slices and walked out of the command room.

"WHAT?!" Robin yelled at his former mentor on the screen, rage boiling over.

"You heard me, the League is giving you a 'mission' to attend Murakami High School." Batman responded calmly. "There, you will live normal lives and have a childhood. You will be able to still perform the duties the Titans have. However, it is not fair that you not have a childhood."

"I don't care! We should have the choice if we want to do this!" Robin yelled back.

"Well, you don't have a choice. We already signed you up for classes. We came up with identities for you all as well. Starfire will Be Kori Anderson, Raven will be Rachel Roth, Cyborg will be Victor Simmons, Beastboy will be Garfield Johnson, and you will be Richard Wayne."

Robin looked oddly at the Dark Knight. "So, I am posing as lost son of yours?"

Batman nodded. "Yes. I knew you would not like your actual name to be used, so I improvised."

Robin shook his head. "That still does not mean we go through with this!"

Batman just glared at his former protégé with a look that could kill almost any other person. "It is happening. You have no say in the matter." With that, the transmission ended.

Cyborg, Raven, Starfire, and Beastboy all sat within the Titans main room, waiting for their leader to come back from his call with Batman. "I wonder what they are talking about. It seemed like the man of bats was mad." Starfire questioned.

"You think it is about what happened today with the robbery?" Beastboy asked a bit nervous.

Raven looked to the green changeling. "You mean how you almost messed up the mission?" She spoke monotonely.

Beastboy panicked and was about to speak up when the door opened, an enraged Robin stomping through. A lump formed in the titan's chests, minus Raven. Cyborg walked over to their leader and went to put a hand on his shoulder. "So…"

"That jerk just cannot let me make my own decisions!" Robin yelled, punching the table that they all stood by. "He first tries to make me do what he wants, and then signs us up for SCHOOL?!"

Cyborg's face contorted in shock. "School?!"

Starfire just sat there confused at the events happening before her. "What is this school you speak of?"

Beastboy turned to the Tameranian. "It is a place where you go to learn different things, and then go to college just to get a job."

Robin huffed in annoyance. "He says we can still be titans and do what we have been doing, but he should not be forcing this on us!"

"Wait, how did he enroll us? How will BB and I get in without getting looked at?!" Cyborg questioned.

Robin sighed and handed all of the titans folders. "He said he talked to someone there and enrolled us all. He used fake names for us. As for you and Beastboy, you can use the ring you used to get into Brother Blood's hideout."

Raven looked over the files and spoke up. "As much as I see this as pointless, I think this may be good for us. We can, I don't know, finally have a childhood."

Starfire looked excited after she read through her files as well. "This place of learning looks glorious. I too wish to go to this school and do the learning!"

Cyborg and Beastboy each looked to each other. "I can modify the rings for each of us, so we can easily blend in. This might not be too bad. After all, I did not get to go to highschool, and while I was there and learned about how to be a villain, the Hive School was fun. Now that I can go to a normal school, this may not be too bad."

Beastboy nodded as the rest of the titans eyed the boy wonder. Robin thought it over for a second and sighed, placing his papers down as well. "Well, we will do this because WE want to. Not because we were told to."

The other teens looked excited at the decision. "So, when does school start guys?" Beastboy asked, already getting excited at what might happen there."

Raven rolled her eyes at Beastboy. "It said right in the beginning, September 5th. You surely are going to fail."

The other titans chatted among themselves as Robin looked out the window. Something bothered him. Not necessarily going to the school, though. His gut was telling him something was going to happen. Big things were planned in their future that Robin could not predict. Robin shook the thoughts and swallowed the nerves as he looked over the papers needed for the school.

He would not realize how right his gut was.

WELL there is the prologue. This was really annoying to write because I did not want it to be too short. I hope you all like it and read on. And to the friends that inspired me to write this: thank you so much and I hope you will like reading the rest that comes.
