The sun rose over the city, the highest buildings to its lower the sky from the darkness of night to the beautiful light of day, a beautiful orange rising higher and higher in the sky. Hero's from all over the word, from Gotham to Steel city, started to head in the direction of the one and only Titans tower.

From the day we arrive on the planet
and blinking, step into the sun
There's more to be seen than can ever be seen
More to do than can ever be done
There's far too much to take in here
More to find than can ever be found
But the sun rolling high
Through the sapphire sky
Keeps great and small on the endless round

They walked, ran, and flew to get to the massive structure on the beautiful island. And at this structure, at the top of the great roof, where all the hero's would patrol the city, stood a tall man with ebony black hair and blue eyes and a woman with blond hair and green eyes. The man looked at his wife with his proud eyes as she looked down at the baby boy in her arms. He was a splitting image of his father, but with small tufts of black hair on his head. He blinked as he looked up a his parents with his own sapphire eyes as a girl with a pale skin tone and a dark cloak made her way towards them and picked up the small baby gently. her violet eyes probed the boy.

It's the circle of life
And it moves us all
through despair and hope
through faith and love
till we find our place
on the path unwinding
in the circle
the circle of life

She cradled him in her arms and started to walk towards the edge of the roof, and once there she looked at the huge mass of hero's that had gathered at its base and were cheering wildly for the presentation of their new young leader. The girl looked over her shoulder to see the two proud parents and smiled a quick smirk before chanting three words on him. She looked back out at the crowd and raised the baby for all to see. The crowd cheered louder and harder.

It's the circle of life
And it moves us all
through despair and hope
through faith and love
till we find our place
on the path unwinding
in the circle
the circle of life

In the lower part of Titans tower stood tall man with white hair and an eye-patch over his right eye. He was just standing there trying to capture a blue bird in nets. The bird tried to escape through a crack in the ceiling, he almost made it when a net captured the bird and made it fall to the ground. The man picked up the bird and put it on a rock as he almost gave it a look of pity. Almost.

"Life's not fair, is it?" he asked it "I will never be leader, and as for you, you will never see the light of another day. Tragic isn't it?" He then lifted a knife he was sharpening and aimed it at the helpless little creature as it was squirming to get out of its net. He was about to kill it when a voice interrupted him.

"Slade, didn't your mother ever teach you not to play with your targets?" Slade looked over to see a tall man dressed in a bat suit. Slade put his knife down as he looked at the man while rolling his eye.

"What do you want Bruce? Can't you see i'm in the middle of something... important?" Bruce shook his head and announced with a serious voice,

"I'm here to tell you that our leader John is on our way to, hopefully, chew you out. So, what's your excuse this time for not showing up to the presentation?" It was at that moment the bird took advantage of Slades distraction and escaped the net.

"Now look what you did Bruce, you made me lose my target." Bruce scoffed.

"You'll be losing more than your targets when the leader gets a hold of you, One-eye. He's madder than a lion that has woken up."

Slade smiled wickedly at the bat-dressed guy "Is that so? Well how about you make it up to me." As he said he started to walk slowly towards the now suspicious man

"Slade..? What are you- No, NO! Don't you dare!"

"Slade!" The white haired man turned around as he saw John standing an a high rock "Put the knife down."

"Amazing timing John." Bruce said relived. Slade rolled his eye as he slowly put the knife away and Bruce walked to where John was.

"Well if it isn't my brother, come to mingle with the common folk. How is the view from up top?" John narrowed his eyes.

"Mary and I did not see you at the presentation of Richard. Care to explain?" Slade feigned shock.

"That was today? Oh i feel just awful", He said scraping his knifes against a rock causing Bruce to cringe at the sound "It must have... slipped my mind", He finished sounding less sorry.

"Yes we all know how slippery your mind is," Bruce muttered "But we expected you to be first in line". Slade gave him a look that said, 'I'm not afraid to kill you right now.' then turned his attention back to John.

"It's a pity i missed the little weak links presentation, but nothing we can do about it now."

"That weak link, Slade, is my son and your future leader." Slade put a hand to his mouth, with his pinky extended up.

"Then i best start following orders. Don't want to seem rude." Slade started to walk away when John called out,

"Don't turn your back on me, Slade."

"Oh John, dear brother, I wouldn't dream of it" Slade said as he continued to walk away. Once he was out of earshot John and Bruce both shared a collective sigh.

"There's always one in every family. Yet they always manage to ruin even the best of celebrations." John shook his head

"What am I going to do with him?" Bruce seemed to really think about it then gave a slight smirk,

"We could turn him into a target."

"Bruce"

"Well hear me out. We he gets full you could jab the knives out of him and you won't hear a single complaint!" John just chuckled when he heard this.

Across the tower in a dark lush tree, Raven, the girl who had presented Richard, was medetating as she was chanting "Azarath, Metrion, Zinthos". She smiled when she thought about Richard

"That boy is going to do great things one day. Very great things."

****
Years passed and Richard grew from a baby to an energetic young boy. The little black-haired boy ran towards the edge of the tower that looked across the entire city, the sun not even in the sky yet. He smiled excidedly and ran through the halls of the tower, going past rooms and saying sorry when he happened to wake someone. He finally made it to his parents room where he found them laying sound asleep. "Dad, wake up!" he called. John didn't even move an inch. "Dad come on! You promised to show me the thing today!"

John groaned as the boy tried shaking, then pushing, then pulling. "Your son is awake" Mary said groggily. John replied just as groggily, "Before morning he's your son."

Finally Richard headbutt his father which seemed to get his attention. "You promised!" Richard said accusingly. John finally gave in to his son and woke up.

"Alright, alright. i'm up" He said with a yawn as Richard gave a triumphant smile and ran outside with John right behind him.
