Chapter 1

It was always the docks.

The place was the hotspot for all kinds of illegal activity.

Drugs, weapons, kidnapped victims; you name it.

Now it was being occupied by a gang waiting for a shipment of some strength enhancing drugs; native to Santa Prisca.

There were several men with different builds there. Every one of them wearing the standard gang ensemble, scarves and hoodies; complete with weapons ranging from guns, bats, knives, knuckledusters.

We see two gang members, one skinny and lanky along with the other one being shorter but muscular. They were tying up the beaten and bruised security in the control room.

"You think it's gonna be worth it?" the skinny looking man asked his cohort who was finishing tying the notches.

"They say this stuff is legit. Suppose to make 'ya powerful. If we get this, we can make Gotham ours!" he explained.

"But what about that guy? The bat guy?"

"Him? Nah. Gonna be too busy fighting the costume wearing freaks to worry 'bout this!"

"You would think?"

The two criminals rose up instantly and were on high alert after hearing a baritone voice.

"Who's there?!" the short one yells out as he whips out his gun.

"I knew it! It's him! I'm out of here!" the lanky one exclaimed and made a break for the door but as soon as he made it through the door he was soon sent reeling back, on the floor unconscious.

The muscular man points his gun towards the door but is surprised to see who had knocked out his buddy.

He was currently seeing a child dressed like a Christmas elf met Rambo. He was wearing a red armoured vest with a yellow 'R' symbol on the left side of his chest. He had green sleeves, gloves and tight shorts reaching all the way to his knees. He had black boots and a yellow cape. His eyes were covered with a domino mask and he wore a golden belt with several pouches.

The boy looked at the man and smiled.

"Sorry for dropping in."

The man got over his shock of a child managing to take out one of his own and re-points his weapon at him.

"Who the hell are you supposed to be?"

"Me?" the boy replied without any fright that a loaded gun was aimed at him "I'm new to do this so I can't blame you. My name is Robin."

"Like the bird?" the man raised an eyebrow at the name choice.

"It's a family name." Robin responded with a smile as he leapt off the lanky man's body and moved towards the other man.

"Well your family is gonna need to 'range a funeral 'cuz your gonna die playin' hero!"

Robin frowns at the mention of family as the man readies his gun to shoot but before he can he can even react, he was sent to the other side of the room with his gun now in the hands of another person.

His assailant was covered in dismal colours. He wore a light grey bodysuit with a black bat symbol over a yellow oval on the centre of his chest. Jet black boots and gloves with sharp ridges on the sides. His outfit was complete with a black bat-like cowl and cape along with a golden belt covered in pouches.

This was Gotham's protector.

This was Batman!

"I could have handled him!" Robin remarks with a childish tone.

"Could've. Didn't." Batman replied back in a cool tone as he unloaded the gun and let the bullets fall.

"Whatever!" Robin folds his arm in a fake huff but immediately ran towards the downed security and checked for pulses.

"They're still breathing but they need a medical help."

"I already contacted the ambulance along with the police. They'll be here shortly but until then, let's make their jobs a little easier." Batman told Robin as they both stare towards the docks holding the rest of the gang members.

Robin smiled to Batman.

"Then let's go!"

The duo ran out of the door and used their grappling hooks to swing across the yard and land in the mass of gang members. Robin decided to deviate a little and land on a criminal after successfully doing a quadruple flip. Batman lands beside him, both of them ready to fight.

"Hey there." Robin quipped out before all of the gang members charged them.

Robin flipped off of the man he landed on and threw two Batarangs midair; to two armed criminals, knocking the weapons out of their hands and proceeded to knock them out with quick blows to the back of the head.

He ducks and trips up a man who attacked from behind and kicks him into his colleagues in a fluid roundhouse kick.

Robin takes out a small yellow stick which extended into a long bo staff and proceeds to attack as much gang members as possible. Not letting any of them touch him.

The boy sees two criminals about to rush him on opposite directions but he jumps up and kicks the assailant on his left side and strikes the other one with his staff.

After landing he turns around to see one of the criminals operating a forklift and driving towards him. He charges at him and flips in the air, throwing at Batarang to the back tire piercing it. The forklift begins slowing down and Robin lands on the back of it, throwing out the driver and he steers the forklift into safe position near the bay putting it in park.

Throughout all of the chaos, the boat carrying the drugs had arrived and docked. Robin sees this and makes a break for the bow of the ship by shooting his grappling hook onto the railing.

Robin encounters a few of the smugglers who are dressed similarly to the gang members down below. They were confused that a costumed child had made it on the ship and that they're operation was blown from all the commotion they are now witnessing.

"Get him!" one of the smugglers yelled out making two different smugglers trying to subdue Robin but he managed to evade and kick them overboard.

Now an all out brawl, Robin got out his bo staff and attacked as many as he can, knocking them all overboard as he travelled to the helm of the ship.

Smugglers appeared from the helm with guns as they fired at Robin who in return flipped over them and whipped his staff at their feet, knocking them over. Robin continued towards the helm and made his way in where he found the ring leader of the smugglers dressed in a white suit with a black dress shirt. He wore a worried expression and was holding a metallic case in his left hand and a gun in his right.

"Don't take another step!" he shouted, nervously aiming his gun at the young hero.

"Okay." Robin shrugged before he leapt off his feet and dived forward, dodging the bullet that was fired. He then rolled and leapt up, kicking the gun away before as he spun and landed in front of the well dressed smuggler.

The man was terrified while Robin grinned.

"Didn't take a step."

Robin quipped out before he punched the man's stomach and threw him across the helm, not before he knocked the case out of his hand.

The smuggler, defeated, got up and bolted for the door but was punched back in by the big bad bat who entered the helm with his signature stone hard stare.

Robin smiled at him, presenting the now open case revealing tubes of amber liquid. This made the Dark Knight do something he hadn't done that night.

Smile.

After the whole escapade, Robin and Batman had driven off in the Batmobile but not before they wrangled all the criminals and left them on the now non-operational boat.

"That was awesome!" Robin exclaimed, giddiness in his voice "The way we took out those scumbags and foiled their plans! Oh oh! Did you see how I took out that suited guy?! He was like 'oh don't take another step' so I jumped and I'm like 'okay'. It was epic!"

"Yes Robin I saw the whole thing happen." Batman stated after his partner calmed down.

"Not bad for a first mission huh?"

"Well the criminals didn't need to witness your constant showboating." Batman criticized agitating Robin.

"Hey no fair! I'm a performer, I need to showboat!"

"Alright. Other than that and a few minor errors…good job."

This made Robin's face light up in the otherwise dark car as he faces the windshield still having a happy smirk on his face…


Seven Years Later...

In the present day we see the Teen Wonder dressed in an updated costume. With the only differences being green pants, a black and yellow, a sharper edged mask and steel plated boots.

Instead of smiling without a care in a world, he face wore nothing but a passive scowl. A stark opposite to his younger days.

He was racing down the open road out of Jump City and zipping past billboards on his 'R-Cycle' reminiscing of his first official mission as the Boy Wonder.

His first mission seemed almost like a distant memory.

He was no longer the childish, brash and young acrobat he was when he started his hero career.

He was now more serious and driven to finish whatever mission he was tasked with!

Just like his mentor.

Robin revs up his bike as he enters Gotham City.


It was just another normal day in Jump City for the Teen Titans.

On the couch playing video games is a green skinned kid with elf ears and fangs wearing an outfit consistent of black and purple and an African American cyborg covered in white and grey metal with blue circuitry.

These two are Beast Boy and Cyborg respectively.

"BOOYAH!" Cyborg exploded happily while Beast Boy looks distraught.

"No way! Do over! Do over!" Beast Boy pleaded but Cyborg wasn't having any of it.

"What's point if I'm just gonna whoop your butt again!" Cyborg responded "Now make yourself useful and go fetch Robin."

Dejected, the changeling morphed into a dog and dolefully sauntered out of the main room but within minutes he returned in his human form looking confused.

"Not in his room, dude."

"Really?"

Cyborg and Beast Boy both share a puzzled look before they see a gorgeous orange skinned girl with flaming red hair and big green eyes hovering into the room. She was dressed in a violet sleeveless crop top, a mini skirt and thigh-high boots. She wore silver gauntlets and neck corn collar all of which encompassed green jewels on them.

This was Starfire, the Alien Powerhouse of the team.

"Star did you see Robin around?" the changeling questioned the Alien princess.

"No I have not?" Starfire answered with an innocent tone "He is not here, playing the games of the television?"

"No he's not?" Cyborg answered while scratching the back of his head.

"He went out."

The three Titans looked to the direction of the new voice which belonged to a ashen skin girl with short violet hair and eyes wearing a long sleeved black leotard and an indigo cloak. One red jewelled belt encompasses her waist and a singular jewel rests on the collar of her cloak. The defining feature is the red gemstone on her forehead.

The Titan's Mistress of Magic, Raven.

"Did he say where he went?" Beast Boy asked the teen sorceress.

"No. I was meditating on the rooftop when I saw him leaving on his bike. Didn't have the chance to ask him."

Raven finished telling her teammates her story but it replaced their confusion with another.

"Where would Robin go at this hour?" Starfire pondered but no one had a definitive answer.

"I'm not sure but he'll back before lunch. Nothing to worry about." Raven answered and then hovered to the fridge.

"Rae's right." Cyborg states "Robin will be back in no time at least then I'll have a worthy opponent!"

Beast Boy was immediately insulted by that comment.

"Hey! I resent that!"

The two squabbled as their argument turned into white noise for the two girls.

Starfire was worried that Robin left abruptly without a word and that usually meant he was in trouble of some sorts.

"I hope you are okay. Robin."

She thought sombrely as she flew to her room to fetch Silkie, her pet mutant moth.

Unbeknownst to the other Titans, Raven had neglected to tell them that her abilities as an empath allowed her to sense what their leader was feeling when he had left.

Anger?

"What are you doing Robin?"

Raven thought worryingly as she went to her room to finish off her meditation.


Robin rode his R-Cycle out of Gotham but not as fast as he wanted.

He had faced Aliens. Mutants. Robots. A talking bear, snake and monkey? He remained unflappable to all of them but only four people can make his skin crawl.

Tony Zucco.

Joker.

Slade!

Batman!

And he just got into a screaming match with the latter.

He had received a message from him simply stating 'Return' and it being a week after the Tokyo mission, he had a feeling the Dark Knight would lecture him about it.

He was unfortunately correct.

It started off formal and tame with Batman only asking basic questions like "How are you?" and "How's your team?". Robin answered and asked the same questions as a courtesy.

Once the pleasantries were out the way Batman proceeded to put up a news report of Robin 'murdering' Saico-Tek.

It went downhill from there.

An argument broke out with Robin pointing out he was framed but his former mentor pointed out that he should've retained self control to not make it look like he was 'murdering'. Batman showing a video of Robin fighting the sentient ink being taken from a bystanders phone that was posted on the internet. Robin then made the argument that it wasn't alive and that it was ink and a ploy to get him framed and out the of Daizo's way.

To Batman's credit said he knew Robin was framed and that he could never do it. This was more about him doing a mistake and needing to be a better hero and not making irresponsible decisions as that led Robin into Daizo's scheme.

His advice only angered the Teen Wonder so much as he shouts that it was hypocritical of him to tell him, how to be a better hero as he tried to take that away from him! This led to them fighting about other topics about the Brotherhood of Evil, Slade, and the tragic night that broke the Dynamic Duo apart; ending with Robin storming out.

Robin abruptly stopped to get off his bike, throw off his helmet and yell out to the sky on the open road with nothing in sight, hoping this will let out all of his anger.

It didn't but it needed to be done.

"What ticked you off?" this question made Robin turn around with a Birdarang in his hand only to put it down when it was revealed to be a young man wearing a unitard, yellow on the upper region and red on the lower half. He had a red lightning bolt insignia on his chest and wore red gloves and yellow boots. He wore a yellow mask with two big eyeholes and exposed his spiky red hair, his blue eyes, mouth, nose and chin.

This was Kid Flash. Fastest Boy Alive.

"What are you doing here Kid Flash?" Robin asked as he walks towards him.

"Well I was doing my morning jog around the state. I saw you and thought 'hey we don't talk that much,' so here I am…" Kid Flash answered with Robin looking unconvinced "…and also I heard about you and Starfire becoming official." he winked at Robin as he blushed upon hearing that "I was always rooting for you guys." as he nudged Robin.

"Thanks… I guess" Robin was now walking towards his R-Cycle as Kid Flash appeared in front of him.

"Hey I was just wondering if you were OK, I'm sure the guys down at Atlantis heard that." KF joked which made Robin smirk.

"Just letting out some frustration, nothing you should be concerned about." Robin was now putting on his helmet as he thought back to his encounter with Gotham's protector.

"Yeah right, come on man you can tell me we're friends now, right?" the speedster asked but was more of an honest statement than an actual question.

Kid Flash knew that Robin doesn't see him as his greatest friends they know little about each other and only worked together in order to take on the Brotherhood of Evil. But with Kid Flash, no one could really distrust him. He was just an open book and was friendly to a fault.

Which is why he got a certain someone to switch to the side of good and be his girlfriend.

Just before Robin could answer, a spherical device with the letter T being in the centre, starts to sound off on Kid Flash's person before he grabs it and answers. A male voice started to sound from the speedster's T-Communicator. Belonging to a certain orange haired archer.

"KF, we tracked Gizmo and his friends assembling in an abandoned warehouse in Steel City we could use your help."

"Sure got your back man." KF replied as he puts away his communicator and faces Robin.

"Want to come with. Be a great opportunity to let off some steam." KF offered as Robin puts on his helmet and mounts on his bike but waits a couple seconds before answering.

"Sure why not…" Robin was instantly at Titans East's tower before he could finish.

"Sorry we would've been here faster but your bike was hard to manoeuvre." KF summed up, ignorant to Robin's dubious expression of being transported so quickly.

"Robin what are you doing here?"

Robin snaps out of his stupor to gaze at two young men wearing unique outfits. The one who called for him, had slicked shoulder length black hair and had a muscular physique. He was wearing blue and black unitard with white zig zag patterns being reminiscent of a swimsuit. The most striking feature about him was his eyes? He had two jet black pools for sclera which made seeing his pupils next to impossible. He was still a handsome man despite all that.

The other one had light orange hair and his eyes were covered by a domino mask, similar to the Teen Wonder. He wore a red tight muscle sleeveless shirt that was tucked into matching red tights. A yellow utility belt was wrapped around his waist and he wore yellow boots. He had on red elbow high fingerless gloves and had a giant 'S' on his left pectoral muscle. What stood out about him was a yellow quiver filled with arrows, all with various uses.

These two were members of Titans East; Aqualad and Speedy.

"He was with me when I got the call." Kid Flash answered with a shrug "So what's Gizmo's plan?"

"We don't know yet but we caught some serious signals emitting from the docks." Speedy shoots back.

"Which can only mean trouble." Robin summed up taking off his helmet.

"Then we must hurry!"

Another voice was heard but this time being light and feminine?

The boys looked up to see a stunning young woman with rich black hair tied in a pony tail and her lips were painted in red lipstick. She had light blue eyes and had little yellow star shaped earrings hanging from her ears. She was garbed in a red dress with little yellow stars being littered on it and a big golden belt with the letter 'W' on it which had a golden lasso attached to it. She wore twin silver bracelets on both her arms and had black stiletto boots.

She was known to the world as Wonder Girl.

"Wonder Girl!" Speedy and Aqualad immediately approached her when she landed.

"Glad that you came." Speedy smirks and gives her a slap on the back.

"Happy to help!" the Amazonian responded back with a jolly slap to his back making Speedy stumble a few paces making Aqualad stifle a laugh.

Wonder Girl glanced over to Kid Flash's and Robin's direction and she smiled.

"Kid Flash! Robin!" she called out as she flew over to greet them "I see you two have been called to aid Titans East as well."

"Well Kid Flash was contacted, I was just with him when he got the call…" Robin explained before he got cut off by the speedster.

"Hey Wonder Girl, how's it hanging?" Kid Flash coolly speaks while leaning on Robin's bike making all the male Titans stare in disbelief.

"Anyway." Robin cuts in before Kid Flash could embarrass himself "Why the emergency call? I'm assuming Gizmo has some big toys?"

"You're not wrong?" Speedy answered while rubbing his back as he and Aqualad walked to the others.

"With Bumblebee and Mas y Menos out of town to help Titans North with their tower, we called Wonder Girl and Kid Flash since they're not bound to any cities." Aqualad explained before Speedy took over.

"Gizmo rallied up some members of the Brotherhood of Evil and me and fish boy tracked them down. We need you three with us in case things go crazy. " Speedy continued but not without the ire of his teammate who didn't like having another demeaning nickname.

"Well I've taken the liberty of sending the coordinates to your communicators…." Aqualad started to explain but as soon as sent the coordinates, everyone was standing in front of the designated warehouse.

They all looked dazed and their hair was messed up except for Kid Flash who grinning and had a relaxed pose.

"Well we're here."

Everyone scowled at the speedster who couldn't care less and they all proceeded to travel to the roof so they could get a clear look on the inside.

They see Gizmo who wore his signature green jumpsuit and goggles with his backpack that sprouted four mechanical appendages and other villains, varying in design and sizes. Gizmo was standing on a box to act as a podium and was right next to something that towered him but was covered?

"What do you think they have covered down there?" Wonder Girl asked but it was anyone's guess.

"Nothing good." Robin whispered as they continued to observe.

"My fellow comrades of evil, I invited you all here to witness a piece of technology that will unite us once again and allow us to demolish those crud-munchers called the Teen Titans!" Gizmo announced which made his fellow criminals cheer.

Speedy scoffed at Gizmo's words but everyone leaned in to see what Gizmo was prompting up as the midget revealed a remote.

"With this we can reunite the Brotherhood!" he pulls off the blanket reveals a giant circular machine being hollow in the middle "Now watch!"

Gizmo presses a button on his remote which makes the machine cast an orange light which envelops the room and reaching the Titans.

"What in Hera's name is that?" the Amazonian gasped out as she and the other Titans saw an orange portal swirling in the middle of the machine.

"A portal?" the Atlantean uttered out.

Gizmo signals to his cohort, See-More who wore a green helmet with a giant yellow eyeball, a white bodysuit with an eyeball design with green boots and gloves. The eyeball villain rushes in and returns with Adonis without his armour in prison clothes. The portal dissipates leaving everyone stunned including the five Titans.

"That…. could be trouble for us." Kid Flash acknowledged with no one disagreeing with him.

"That must be what was emitting those signals." Aqualad realized "Gizmo must have been doing a test run.

"This will allow us to free our fallen comrades and get rid of the Teen Titans once and for all!" Gizmo yelled out with everyone except for the Titans, cheer.

"What are we going to do?" Kid Flash spoke to the rest of companions.

"Me, Aqualad and Wonder Girl can distract them while you two get the remote and disable that machine. Clear?" Speedy commanded with everyone on board with the plan and got into position.

Speedy and Aqualad burst in through the front, ready for a fight as they stared the entire room.

"Hey small fry!" Speedy shouted out to Gizmo as he readies his bow and arrow when everyone there looks at them "Isn't past your bed time?"

"Titans East!" the so called 'Small Fry' responds in shock "I thought you two and the rest were out of town?!"

"You should fire your intel guy cause we stayed behind moron!" Speedy fired back making Gizmo turn to See-More who was in charge of scouting Titans Tower to see if they were home. The eyeball villain sweats in embarrassment.

"Don't worry it's only two Titans, we can handle them." Gizmo shouts out before a red blur takes down a giant wearing a black unitard by landing on him.

"Make that three Titans." Wonder Girl smugly claims, still standing on the downed Mammoth making Gizmo boil.

"ATTACK!"

With that the whole room was at war and in the commotion, Robin and Kid Flash slinked in to tinker with the machine, hiding behind it as well. Robin rips apart a cover to reveal wiring.

"This looks complex than anything I've seen." Robin pondered as Kid Flash also couldn't make heads or tails of it.

"We're gonna need help. Could create a wormhole if we're not careful." the speedster admits making Robin whip out his communicator and send an S.O.S signal.

"Sent our coordinates to Cyborg he'll know what to do."

Just then someone wearing a red bodysuit with a visor and the symbol for division on his chest was sent flying through the machine and crashes into some boxes. He regains his bearings as he spots the two Titans.

"Hey! They have two more back here!" Billy Numerous yells out before Robin appeared in front of him and throws him through the machine again.

"Guess we join the fight!" Kid Flash cracked before he zips in and creates mini tornadoes by spinning his arms in front of him, blasting back several of the villains.

Robin jumps in as well; dealing blows to anyone he came across. He sets down two birdarangs at two of his opponents, making them freeze in ice reaching to their necks before Robin struck them with his staff.

Aqualad summoned water from underground pipes and whips at his opponents with H2O. He sees Billy Numerous' clones come close and he sends a multidirectional wave to clean them out.

Speedy launches arrows while on the railing to the villains below and then dodges an attack from one who was a wearing a dark attire almost resembling a vampire who appeared behind him. Speedy attacks with swift blows to Kyd Wykkyd before firing an electricity arrow to finish him off.

Wonder Girl was lazily dodging attacks from Mammoth who had gotten back up with a vengeance but had a difficult time landing a hit. The Amazonian Princess finally blocks one of his punches and delivers a powerful kick to his jaw, shooting him outside of the warehouse.

Seeing his brothers being defeated, Gizmo saw no choice but to retreat for the time being. He presses the button on his remote which activates the portal, making everyone blinded once again. He races towards it but is stopped by Kid Flash.

"Going somewhere?" he mocks before he punches Gizmo off of his mechanical limps and sends him flying which makes Gizmo lose the remote as it falls to the ground. Kid Flash races over to pick it up.

"Got it!"

Before he could celebrate, he was soon barged by Mammoth who rejoined the fight and was sent flying near the machine. Mammoth grinned before lifting his feet as he felt something under him. He was correct as the remote was broken and clung to the giant's sole.

Just then the teleporter began to act up. The portal swirled up so fast that electricity began to crackle from it and the machine started to vibrate with power. It was malfunctioning with it coming apart without the remote to maintain control.

"It's gonna blow!" Gizmo called out as he and his fellow brethren began to escape.

"Kid Flash! We need to go!" Speedy called out to his friend but he had hit his head and was just regaining his bearings.

"Wh..What?" the speedster muttered out before Robin and Aqualad arrived to help him.

"Come on! We got to go!" Robin commanded as the Titans made it out of the warehouse but could not escape what happened next as they were enveloped by an orange light and everything went black…


So we now have the first chapter of Worlds Collide's reboot, When There's Trouble...

You may notice a few things like the new intro and the inclusion of Wonder Girl. I was contemplating about it and I decided to go through with it since I wanted it to be the 'original' Teen Titans. It was difficult since I had no clue what her origins is but I managed to map it out based on what I could gather. When will Donna Troy catch a break?

I'm still planning the outline but I wanted to give you guys something after being sooooooo patient with me and the previous incarnation. See you next chapter.
