Teen Titans' Evaluation

A/N: I realise the previous version of Teen Titans' Evaluation is entirely overrated due to the constant Raven fangirling. Thus, I am now editing the entire story. Please do not hesitate to comment or flame. Thanks for reading! PS: My Justice League in this story is the one in JLU. Includes the 7 as well as Green Arrow, Black Canary, the Question and Aquaman.

Chapter 1 The Meeting Begins

"We are assembled here for a meeting concerning our 'subdivision', the teen Titans," Superman began.

"Skip the formalities and get to the point," Shayera said.

Green Lantern gave her a look.

"In this meeting we will be evaluating the team as a whole, as well as each member of the team as an individual," Superman continued "We will decide whether the Teen Titans should remain as a subdivision of the Justice League or, hopefully not, be a team on its own. We will also decide whether or not to offer extra training and whether or not individual members should remain on the team or not."

"This meeting is of great importance." Wonder Woman said. "Please take it as a serious issue as the Teen Titans, like any other subdivision, may damage or boost the people's trust in us. They could also be a threat if they cannot manage the crime rates in Jump City and we have to interfere. Since they are after all our subdivision, we are ultimately responsible for nurturing them and training them to be true heroes." she paused and looked around the room.

Even the Flash was listening.

She began again. "If there happens to be a serious incident in which the League is away or needs backup, the Titans will be who we will call on. I hope everyone will understand the importance of this meeting."

"Any questions." Batman asked.

The Question raised his hand.

Superman gave a slight inclination of his head, signalling the Question to continue.

"Will we be questioning the Titans, evaluating them psychologically or giving them a special test?"

"That's a good question." Superman replied. "Concluding the evaluation simply from our observations during their missions or a crisis isn't enough. We have seen certain weaknesses and strengths, but not enough so to do a full, all-rounded report. We need to give them tough scenarios to see what they really can do and who they really are. Thus, we will be doing all three items you mentioned."

Flash raised his hand. Superman nodded.

"Well, I mean," he began "They have gone through a lot and stuff but they are still a team. Raven sometimes finds Beast Boy annoying but she actually enjoys his jokes and is willing to spend a moment with him! She even rescued him and defended him! I think there's no questioning of how much they act like a team."

"But suppose Robin be blinded by his…affection for Starfire," The Question stated, turning to Batman, who nodded his approval.

"He might make some decisions in her favour or in favour of his relation with her. A decision based on those may not be the best decision." The Question said. "So I agree with Superman. We need to see, clearly, what they are made of."

"Sometimes we need to trust others," Aquaman said, looking around the table. "We need to show the Titans that we trust them. It's just like you said. They are a subdivision of the Justice League. If even we don't trust them, who will?'

"This is absolutely necessary," Green Arrow said " Even League members need annual evaluations, why not the Titans? They follow our rules, don't they?"

"I agree." said John "We need a real test. Appearances and videos can be deceiving. We aren't with them, we haven't really seen a lot, so we can't say anything for sure."

Black Canary nodded. "They seem to be great, but you can't be too sure. They are quite independent, but they need to abide by the rules, which includes annual evaluations."

"Well I think they are great fighters as most of you should agree to," Shayera began. The others nodded. "They have shown that they are a team in a lot of cases. Cyborg quitting, Beast Boy wanting to lead the team, saving the world from its end… and still coming back out as a team. It shows how willing they are to sacrifice for each other and ultimately make the world a better place."

She cleared her throat "Also, I believe that Robin, who was trained by a most respected member of the League, will not be blinded by some…mere infatuation, would he? He knows he has to make the right choice."

Diana winced. The Catwoman point was a low blow, and she had no wish to see the conference room covered in blood, human or Thanagarian.

"We didn't see that when Slade planted the whatever thing in the Titans," John argued. "Robin hesitated. Yes, they were his friends, but this made Slade hurt them. He could have developed a better strategy to rescue his friends instead of standing there wondering."

"Here we are discussing whether or not we need the evaluation." Dr Fate reminded everyone.

Silence.

"So we are all agreed?" asked Superman.

Nods.

"Who is in favour of an evaluation?"

"Aye!" said John, Black Canary, Green Arrow, the Question, Batman and Wonder Woman.

"Who is not in favour of an evaluation?"

"Aye!" said Flash, Shayera and Aquaman.

"I think we have reached a decision. We will do the evaluation. I will call another meeting to discuss the details."

A/N: Hope this is better than the previous version!
