The teamup everyone's been waiting for...the crossover never finished...THE TEEN TITANS meet THE JUSTICE LEAGUE UNLIMITED! This story reflects a piece here of a little bit of everything. So far the key is what will this team up mean for the Caped Crusader and his ex partner. In case any of you didn't know I own neither TT or JLU. I also borrowed some story from Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker. Just to kinda help tie everything together. This happens after Trouble In Tokyo (TT) and I'm not finished with JLU yet but everything so far will come from before The Once and Future Thing (JLU) and of course my own spins.
The Teen Titans were returning from Tokyo. It had been a crazy vacation. Robin and Starfire were officially a couple, even Raven seemed to lighten up just a bit. Cyborg had actual found his eating breaking point, while Beast Boy hit it high with the ladies.
The Titans walked into Titan Headquarters normally. Robin and Starfire were holding hands, walking towards the big screen where Robin would check on the crime rate for the 2 weeks they had been gone.
Cyborg went and sat down on the couch.
BB went straight to the kitchen, grabbed some Tofu food and went to sit next to Cyborg. Raven had been meditating the entire flight home, and was still meditating even now. She was floating cross legged, seemingly aimless around the room.
Robin sat down to the computer and released Star's hand.
The computer had several diagrams on it, what stood out most was the bar graph, pie chart, and the table of values.
"Everything checks out. Nothing strange has happened since we left." Robin said.
"That's good isn't it?" Starfire asked, sensing her new boyfriend's distrust in the statistics.
"Wait...nothing strange?" Cyborg asked.
"Not even a little. The only crimes that have happened are minor robberies, carjacking, and vandalism." Robin elaborated.
"How could that be? We were gone for 2 weeks, there's no way they didn't know we were gone." Cyborg said. "Computer, run a location check on Overload."
Computer spoke back, "4683 Center street, Cell block 12."
"Okay so prison. What about Plasmus?"Cyborg asked.
"Same address, same street, cell block 13." The computer answered.
"So our major enemies are locked up...but this isn't this normally the time some new hotshot shows up, we kick his butt, he goes to jail, then we do it all over again?" BB asked.
Robin sighed relief. No villains to fight, no people hurt...maybe he could spend some time with Starfire...
As if on cue the alarm went off.
"Titans, trouble." Robin said, he quickly typed in a couple commands and found the problem to be at Jump City City Hall.
The 4 Titans ran to the door, yet Raven continued to float around randomly.
"Hello, Raven?" BB asked.
The other 3 ran out of the room completely forgetting BB and Raven.
"Raven we have to go." Beast Boy reminded her.
Raven floated higher and higher, she was about to hit a light, but BB had seen it and transformed to a hawk and flew up and grabbed her.
He brought her down to a couch and lay her down.
He reverted forms and said,
"Stay right here."
BB was about to run out the door.
"Robin don't!" Raven cried.
"What?" He asked, running back to his 'friend'.
BB's communicator beeped.
"Beast Boy where'd you go?" Robin demanded.
"I'm gonna be late." He replied.
"Bring Raven when you come. Robin out."
"Raven? Are you okay?" Her eyes were starting to glow black, then red, blue, yellow, green, gold, purple, what was happening to Raven?
Her eyes glowed each color for about 2 seconds, then changed.
Beast Boy put his hand on her forehead as if checking for a fever, but it was his animal instinct.
Then Beast Boy's eyes copied Raven's change in color.
Together the 2 Teen Titans spoke,
"Azarath, Metrion, Zinthois."
A bright light filled the room, and the 2 felt themselves slip away from the present and into the past.
2 black figures extended their hands and grapples shot forth. The 2 figures landed on the building opposite them. On this building was a giant box.
The larger of the 2 figures, pulled out a weapon of some sort, not dissimilar to Robin's weapons, and threw it at the lock.
Like a jack in the box, a figure exploded out of it. Then the face of the figure broke away, revealing a grenade. The pin fell off and began to click.
\The smaller of the 2 grabbed on to the larger one, who had already sent his grapple and began his flight. It was revealed that the larger of the 2 was the Batman, Robin's mentor.
Batman raised his cape to protect his young recruit from the shrapnel of the explosion.
From the explosion threw black and white clothing, like parts of a straight jacket.
The Batman kneeled down and picked up a piece of fabric.
"Arkham." The Batman growled.
The masked-girl behind him gasped.
The scene shifted.
"What's the matter Batman? No witty comeback? No threat? Then I'll provide the narration." A voice echoed through the auditorium. A light came on and like an old recording a min movie began to play. "I'll begin with how I peeled back the layers of the boy's mind. Though he bravely tried to fight it at first, you would have been proud to see him...so strong."
On the screen, a boy wearing Robin's uniform was struggling against restraints. Then he was seemingly electrocuted.
"But all too soon the serum and the shocks took their tole... and the dear lad began to share such secrets with me, secrets that are mine alone, to know...Bruce."
The Batman lost his apathetic expression when he saw what this man had done to his partner. But his stern glare return when the name was mentioned.
Beast Boy and Raven could barely believe what they were seeing.
"It's true Batsie...I know everything." The man chided, his whereabouts still unknown. "And kind of like the kid who peaks at his Christmas presents, I must admit...it's sadly anticlimactic...Behind all the stern, and batarangs...you're just a little boy in a play-suit...crying for mommy and daddy...It would be funny if it weren't so pathetic." The man chided.
But Batman finally found him. He was hiding where the movie was being projected.
"Eh...what the heck I'll laugh anyway..." The man laughed. Both of the Titan's recognized this laugh as the one that belonged to the Joker. Robin had told the entire team about him a long time ago.
But the Batman crashed through the window and gripped the Joker's neck, throwing him out the door.
The scene shifted again.
The Joker whipped out a knife and slashed Batman's chest, then stabbing his knee.
The Caped Crusader fell from the ginormous blocks he was on and landed on the ground, bleeding and defeated.
The Joker jumped down from the blocks and kneeled down next to Batman.
"You've lost Batman...Robin is mine...The last sound you hear will be our laughter." The Joker grabbed his Bang gun and pointed it directly into the Dark Knight's chest.
The mini-joker watched smiling on the outside, but deep down he remembered the truth.
"Here you go, sonny-boy." The Joker tossed his bang gun to the mini-joker(aka Robin) "Make Daddy proud...deliver the punchline."
The mini-joker began to laugh uncontrollably while he pointed the gun at Batman.
"Tim..." Batman pleaded.
Bang. The joke shot out. The flag that said bang was ready to finish the job...just one shot. Mini-Joker was laughing again, ready to pull the trigger...but it went against everything Bruce taught Tim Drake.
"Do it!" The Joker ordered.
Robin controlled his laughter just long enough for one shot.
..
"Ow..." The joker yelled, the force of the shot threw the psychopath against one of his own blocks...
"That's not funny..." The joker croaked. "That's not..." The Joker gasped for breath one last time...and the monster was gone.
Robin began to laugh again, from the serum Joker and Harley Quinn had injected into him, but the laughing mixed with crying.
Batgirl ran in from her recent battle with Harley Quinn...whcih may or may not have ended in the Joker's girlfriend's death.
Batgirl ran to Tim, as soon as she saw the body of the Joker with the gun laying by Robin, and held him close.
"it's okay Tim...it's okay."
..The scene disappeared.
Beast Boy woke up on the floor next to Raven, who had seemingly also fallen to the floor.
Raven awoke at the same time.
The both of them looked at each...neither conversed but their message to each other was clear...
'What happened to Robin?'
At the time of their visions the Titan's were in the middle of a fight. Some guy in a pure black suit was clearly not making any headway, even with only 3 Titan's their skills were overwhelming.
Robin pulled his staff from his belt and moved to attack.
Out of nowhere a girl in a pure light blue suit came and deflected Robin's attack with a sword.
With one swift move the girl threw Robin away.
Starfire quickly caught him before the damage was done.
Cyborg shot a blast of energy at the girl but she parried it away.
The energy rebounded and hit the building above Starfire and Robin...neither of whom noticed the enormous amount of rocks about to crush them.
Lightning fast, someone ran up to them and took them to safety. The guy was wearing a red suit.
The girl was displeased with this newcomer and ordered the black suited man to attack.
He pulled some form of machine gun and fired randomly.
A green shield erupted in front of the Titans and their savior.
Robin looked to the man in red.
"Not me...Him." He said pointing up to a floating dark skinned man wearing green.
"GL." Robin muttered..."Great..."
"Like taking candy from a baby." The girl said aloud.
Then the 2 disappeared like they had never been there in the first place.
Green Lantern flew down next to Titans.
"You kids okay?" GL asked.
Robin hated being called a kid.
"Fine." Robin growled back.
"Robin they just saved our lives...we could at least say thank you." Cyborg reasoned.
"Robin?" Green Lantern asked. "I thought you were...?"
"Wrong Robin." Robin growled again.
"Anyway I'm Flash nice to meet you." Flash quickly shook hands with everybody.
"Why are you 2 here?" Robin demanded.
"Robin chill out..." Cyborg began.
"You and him really are a lot alike." Green Lantern said surprised.
"I told Superman before...Jump City is my town...Not the Justice League's."
"Superman doesn't know we're here. He has a problem back home. We're only here because we were passing by and heard the explosions." Green Lantern snapped back.
"Well then get out." Robin said to the older superheroes.
Robin extended his grapple and flew away, leaving Starfire and Cyborg alone with 2 of the founding members of the Justice League.
It is my opinion that every story has a bit of romance in it.
So here are the ships I like
Bruce/Diana
John/Shayera
Robin/Starfire
Beast Boy/ Terra (anything can happen
Superman/ Lois Lane
...
This is all I have so far...all couples are subject to change.
