Prologue - Where We Left Off

Villains come and go.

Villains get caught. They go to jail. They break out. Repeat ad nauseum.

The consistent variable is that there are always villains that must be brought to justice.

Even in the world today, unfortunately.

It was not so long ago that the Titans' gallery of villains were flash-frozen in Paris after an epic battle. Afterwards, they were commissioned for transport to Jump City, where they were to be placed in the most secure facility in the country.

And everything had went swimmingly...until the driver took a wrong turn, jumped the curb, and crashed into the Jump City Convention Center, where the Annual Space Heater Symposium was being held.

A comical turn of events, if you really think about it. Of course, it was irony that the truck had run into a equally comical large power switch connected to all of those said heaters.

So, peace and harmony in Jump City?

Nope. That was the end of that daydream.

After being unfrozen, the bad guys had scattered, making do with whatever transportation they could muster. Some simply flew out to unknown locations. Some were able to teleport away.

Others, like Mammoth, took a more direct approach, such as picking up a car and tossing its occupants into the nearest shrub.

Alas, they all can't make a quiet getaway.

Upon hearing the news, the Teen Titans had arrived on the scene as quick as they could, desperately attempting to apprehend as many people as possible. It was a valiant effort, but after a long while, Robin had to call the team back together to deal with the ones who they had managed to catch.

Beast Boy had protested, wanting to give chase to the Brotherhood of Evil. Raven has insisted on going after Psimon, Cyborg after Atlas, and Starfire in the direction of the H.I.V.E. Five.

Robin had shaken his head in defeat. There was no way that they would be able to catch all of them on their own, and a few of the villains caught and everyone safe was better than risking someone getting hurt. They were just in a huge battle not forty-eight hours earlier; their energy reserves were already at their limit. Even with all of the Titans they had recruited in the past few months, the chances were slim to none that everyone would be apprehended.

So, after a long day of work, and several non-humorous jokes from Beast Boy, the team arrived back at the Tower at nightfall, having dropped off their load at the Jump City Prison. They dragged themselves into bed without a second thought, knowing they had a long fight ahead of them.

The rest of the Titans (honorary and otherwise) had decided to go their separate ways, not unlike the villains they had just fought. They, too, had things they needed to catch up with. Farewells were exchanged (as well as a few numbers) and the teenage superheroes dispersed off to the corners of the country, wondering when they would be needed again.

And two weeks later, one team on the opposite coast received a tip about a shipment of very rare (and very illegal) materials being sent out to the west side of the States. They would go to investigate this claim...

And that is where our saga begins.

AUTHOR'S NOTE: So this is the other thing that I've been working on.

Well, I wouldn't say thing. It's more along the lines of a series of things. A series of stories. A...season of stories, so to speak.

I've been a huge Teen Titans fans since the days of the very first season, and I know the irony of doing TT fanfics with the original show long gone (even though TTGo! is going strong). Anyways, this is just my delving into what I would portray as a "sixth season".

There's going to be a lot of integration and inspiration from the standard comics coming into play. However, it's not going to be a straight copy-over when it comes to back stories and the like. I'm going to make a little bit of it up as I go, but I definitely would like to keep things as true to the show as possible.

Not to say I'm not going to have a little fun with these guys. It's an experiment. Things will be a little different. You'll just have to wait and see what's going to happen.

Chapter 1 of Episode 1: Duplicate should be up next week.

Read and review if you like. Until next time, ladies and gents.
