(And so the updates, edits and rewrites begin. I hope you enjoy.)

The sirens of Arkham asylum are ringing across Gotham city, an indication that an escape is in progress. The bat signal is shining into the night's sky as a desperate city calls on their dark knight to once again put these criminals behind bars. But who could it be that got out this time? As police officers arrive on scene they are greeted by a horrific sight, one of the inmates hanging by neck from the side of the building and a cold, heart sinking smile across his face. Meanwhile on the other side of the country the sun rise's over the streets of Jump city, explosions can be heard from a distance. A great battle between light and dark takes place just on the far side of town. Our hero's the Teen Titans fight inch by inch and yard by yard forcing the legions minions under the control Slade back into the dark depths from which they came. The Titans fought long and hard but little did they realize the mayhem that would soon follow.

Slade sat in his dimly lit headquarters watching a large view screen as the events with the Titans unfold.

"Incompetent" Slade said as he rose from his chair and walked to the largest screen which paused on the image of Robin. The longer he looked, the more frustrated he got until finally he put his fist through the main screen.

"OUT!" Slade yelled to his henchman as they cleared the room. "As per usual if you want something done right, do it yourself." He said as walked back to his seat. Then he could hear footsteps from the shadows.

"hehehe" said the disembodied voice.

Slade quickly turned to face the intruder only to see shadows. "Come out now and I promise your death will be quick"

"Well well well aren't we just the party pooper hehe." Said the Joker as he stepped into the light with a grin. "Either way pleasure to meetcha Slade ma boy."

Slade unimpressed and un-phased by the clown calmly stepped back and with a snap of his fingers said. "Oh Terra, if you please."

Then from behind the Joker a hand reached out grabbing the back of his purple overcoat and holding on tightly attempted to throw the Clown Prince of Crime across the room. But to no avail as a comically large mallot hit Terra smack across the back of the head by Harley Quin.

"Hey blondie hands off Mista J." Harley said as the Joker grabbed a hold of Terra, shocking her with his hand buzzer and rendering her unconscious.

Slade looks at the pale faced man then back at the unconscious Terra as the Joker walked up to him and puts his arm around him. "You seem to be in a bit of a rut" Joker said with a grin.

At once Slade grabbed Jokers arm and pulled it behind his body subduing him as he smacked Jokers head into the back of Slade's metal chair.

"I am going to move past the how did you get in here and go straight into breaking your neck." Said Slade pressed Jokers face harder and harder into the back of the chair.

"Hey!" Harley jumped into action charging at Slade with her mallot but was met with Slades foot to her face knocking her to the ground.

Slade looked down at the purple clad clown and said "I will now break you in two."

"WAIT JUST ONE SECOND! We have an enemy in common, that's why I am here. Let me go and I will tell you how to end your pesky bird problem." Joker said in a rush.

"What makes you think I need help from the likes of you?" Slade demanded.

Joker then pointed with his other arm to the secondary screen and as Slade looked up the image of a victorious Teen Titans flashed across the screen. Slade loosened his grip letting the Joker go. "You have one minute clown. Explain"

"A little pushy aren't we….Well you see I've been having some trouble back home...a rodent problem if you will. Well we decided it was time to take a trip, have a nice little vacation away from home. You know kick up my feet, relax….. Destroy a city. So figured why not try my luck here in Jump City. You see Robin was once the bats sidekick so what better way to kick off my freedom. By killing Robin." said the Joker

"How do you possible think you can help me when you can hardly handle one man in a bat costume?" Slade said in jest.

"Trust me underestimating Batman is the one thing you should never do got it? But I know how the Bird fights, and thinks for that matter hehe. These Teen whatever you callem don't stand a chance against my brand of Comedy HAHAHA!" The joker replied.

Slade stood there thinking, and then finally said "Very well...what do you have in mind?"

"Just leave it to me, and maybe with some luck the Bat will show and we can take him out to hahaha." The Joker said with a grin.

"What do you need from me?" Slade asked.

"Gather what's left of you're… Um robots? Minions? Whatever these things are and send them in force to keep Bird and his Titans busy long enough for me and Harley, and your girl over there to destroy their Tower...that's step one." The Joker said.

"What the rest of your..."Slade is cut off

"Shhh Shhh Shhh hahaha all in good time" The Joker said putting his hand out with a grin

"Sounds good Slade?"

Slade nods "Fine" Slade said. The Joker looked at Harley

"Sound good Harley?"

"Yeah Mista J"

"Good! Terra? Oh right knocked out cold hehe, well then shall we get started?" The Joker said as Harley begins dragging an unconscious Terra out the main door by the arm.

Meanwhile in the city Cyborg looks out at the piles of broken down robotic soldiers. "Whew" he said. "They don't quit"

Robin came over their communicator and said "Slade's legions are pushing on the eastern sector of the city. TITAS GO!"

The fairly exhausted Titans redeployed to meet Slade's forces head on as the Joker, Harley and Terra approached the Tower...

"OOOOO it's big" Harley said.

"Why yes it is Harley...welp have fun kids!" The Joker Said laughing as Terra and Harley started attacking the now empty tower. Harley grabs her favorite bazooka and began to launch rockets into the towers command center and the base of the tower while Terra cause the ground to break beneath the tower. Before leave the ruins that were once Titans Tower, Harley spray painted a big red smile on the only wall left standing.

After a long battle with Slade the victory belonged to the Titans or so they thought.

"Dude we kicked their butts man" said Beast Boy excited as he walked up to the team looking at the area where their Tower once stood. Amazed, angry and sad Robin looked on helplessly as he clenched his fist in rage and stormed off while the others could only look on. Cyborg stood looking with BB as they both said "MY VIDEO GAMES! AND ALL MY STUFF!... Our home..." They said looking down.

Starfire flew over to Cyborg and says "You can rebuild it yes?

"I can but, but I need the parts which takes time and money to get together." Cyborg said looking out at the ocean.

"Then what do we do about the Tower?" Starfire said as a voice came up from behind them

"Maybe I can help?"

"Thanks for the offer sir but I don't see how you could help." Said Cyborg

"Oh but I insist. It's no trouble at I assure you." Said the man.

"Look man I just do…." Cyborg said as the Titans turned to look at the man and what they saw amazed them.

Back on the shore line Robin sat looking out at the ocean thinking when he heard the Titans come towards him "What do you need guys? I just want to be alone right now..." Robin said as Beastboy ran up out of breath.

"DUDE! THIS GUYS IS GOING TO PAY TO HAVE THE TOWER REBUILT!"

"Well it's the least I can do, I cannot tell you how many times Batman and Robin came through for Gotham. Even saved my life once or twice, it only feels right to be able to pay him back somehow." The man said.

"Wait I know that voice." Robin looks up and begins to turn in shock.

Cyborg said " Wow Robin I didn't know you knew Bruce Wayne!? Man why didnt you tell me!"

"Hello Robin it's been a while" Bruce said.

"Yes it has Mr. Wayne" Said Robin as they exchange a glare and the other Titans look on in confusion.
