So, here's the prologue for Titans Together Vol. 1. Yes, I know it's short. Anyway, before reading this, it would help to read "The Bat" Volume 1 and the first seven chapters of volume two, as well as Justice League United Volume 1 and Man of Steel Volume 1. The joys of an expanded universe lol. Enjoy this little teaser.

Dick sat on the roof of the Bludhaven branch of Wayne Enterprises, looking out over the city as he at a chicken sandwich. He'd been there for six months, and he was only just getting used to not having a cape on his back. Hell, the whole new costume was taking getting used to; it was more streamlined than his Robin suit had been, and the almost entirely black suit made for warming up quick, especially when up by neon lights.
He finished his dinner, standing up. He leant forward, arms spread as he began to freefall off of the roof. After about three seconds of falling, he pressed his hands against his thighs, spreading his arms as his back plate opened, a cape quickly coming out of it for him to glide on. He caught the updraft, using it to continue along the trajectory he had. As he did, the police scanner in his earpiece went online.
"We have an armed robbery at the Midtown Exchange." Came the dispatch voice "All units, please proceed immediately."
"Already am." Dick said to himself, leaning to his left to change direction, ignoring the figure above him.
...
Donna Troy, who'd been nicknamed by the media, much to her chagrin, Wonder Girl, watched from above as she saw Nightwing begin to head off in a different direction. Her long, black hair blew gently in the breeze, the moonlight glinting off the gold, triangular belt buckle she wore, and the glitter elements of her red bodysuit, as well as the gold bands on her wrists.
She tracked the trajectory with her eyes, clocking the Midtown Exchange, before beginning to fly towards it at full speed, flying over Nightwing to crash down through the skylight on the roof of the Exchange, using the gold bracers to deflect gunfire as it was rained on her.
"No one ever tell you it's rude to shoot a lady?" Came a voice from above, Nightwing dropping down onto one of the men as his cape retracted into his back plate, a pair of escrima sticks being pulled from the back of his belt as they electrified "Welcome to super hero team up!"
"Alpha target didn't show." One of the men said, apparently talking into a comm. unit "Beta target just arrived. Shall I apprehend?"
Before he could get a response, Nightwing dived at him, hitting him in the face with one of the escrima sticks, as Donna punched one of the men in the face, dashing at another two and banging their heads together. Finally, Nightwing threw his escrima sticks, hitting two men in the heads, ricocheting back to him as the men fell to the floor.
"Not bad. For an amateur in tights." Nightwing said as he put the sticks away "Who are you then? Or do you like Wonder Girl?"
"Donna." She replied, holding out a hand to him "Donna Troy."
"Nice to meet you, Donna Troy." Nightwing said, before putting two fingers to his ears "Nightwing here, go ahead."
He paused for a moment, listening to whomever was talking. Finally, he brought his fingers away from his ear.
"I've got to go." He said, pressing the side of his mask, causing the eyes to turn red as he quickly looked over the men "This is the sixth time men in these uniforms have shown up in two weeks. Me and my friend are looking into it."
"Give me a call some time, if you need help." She said as she reached into her belt, pulling out a crumpled piece of paper with a phone number on it and handing it to him, pausing before saying "Is your friend Batman?"
"No." Nightwing said "It's someone I know from school. We're putting together a team. That's all I'm going to say for now. But I might call you. Just... Don't tell my girlfriend."
He pulled a grapple from his belt, firing it up at the ceiling and leaving through the skylight.
"Typical move, Donna." She said to herself "Meet a cute guy, give him your number, and then turns out he has a girlfriend. Great job."

Okay, this is only a prologue, so future chapters will be much longer. R&R, please, no flames. B.
