A/N: The following story takes place prior to the events of Enchanted: Teen Titans Edition. It explains how the Titans became a full-fledge superhero organization. Hopefully it should clear things up.


A ten-year-old girl with long black hair was in position. She stood on the podium and waited for her turn. Tonight was when her life was going to change.

She would make her official debt as a part of the Flying Graysons.

Yes, Maureen was excited and nervous about tonight. She has been practicing for this moment for her life. She was skilled, but her twelve-year-old brother, Dick, was always better than her. But after all these years of training, her parents finally allowed her to take part in performances.

So there she was, waiting for the cue. Dick was on the other side of the arena in the same position. She silently counted the seconds.

10...

9...

8...

Dick told her she had nothing to worry about.

7...

6...

5...

He was just as nervous as she was before his first performance.

4...

This was it.

3...

The moment she was waiting for.

2...

She took a deep breath, her arms extended in front of her.

1...

She closed her eyes and braced for impact.

SNAP!

Maureen opened her eyes in alarm. It all happened too fast. The trapeze rope broke. Her parents fell to the ground. The ringmaster telling the audience to calm down.

"This has to be a dream," the younger Grayson thought. "It has to!"


A few hours later, Maureen was in the family trailer. She was clearly upset about what happened.

"You feeling alright?"

Maureen looked up and saw her brother approaching her. "This was supposed to be my big night," she said. "Why did this happen tonight?"

"You knew the trapeze wasn't going to last," Dick said. "The manager couldn't afford to get a new one."

"Someone must have rigged it," Maureen said. "We have to call the cops."

"No one rigged it," Dick insisted. "It was just bad timing."

"We have to do something," Maureen said. "I don't know if it'll happen again." She hesitated for a bit. "I don't want to lose you too."

"There's nothing we can do," Dick said. "We're still the Flying Graysons. We can still perform together."

"No, I can't," Maureen said. "I don't want to be an acrobat anymore." She left the trailer.

Dick followed her. "Maureen, I'm just as upset about it as you are," he said. "But you can't let that prevent you from performing."

"You can perform without me," Maureen said. "I don't know what I'll do, but I hope it's better than living in this death trap."

"I won't let that happen," Dick said, grasping her shoulder. "We're sticking together no matter what."


And so, Dick and Maureen found themselves in a cafe to relax. "What do we do now?" Maureen asked. "We sort of quit the circus."

"Maybe we can get jobs," Dick suggested. "I heard there's a store offering positions to handle the cash registers."

Maureen shrugged. "Guess that's the future for us," she said. "Former acrobats serving as cashiers."

Just as the two siblings were about to leave, Maureen noticed two guys sitting in a booth. They were wearing unusual outfits and taking about forming an organization.

"Come on, Maureen," Dick said.

"Hang on," Maureen said. "Aren't those two from the Justice League?"

Dick looked at the two guys. "They're probably looking for directions to the nearest convention," he guessed.

"Come on, Dick," Maureen said. "I want to see what they're talking about." She dragged him over to the booth.

"Can I help you?" the guy on the left asked.

"Yeah," Maureen answered. "I'm Maureen Grayson, and this is my older brother Dick. We overheard you talking about some organization."

"You mean the Titans?" the guy on the right asked. "It's a separate branch of the Justice League. We're looking for recruiters."

"What are the requirements?" Maureen asked.

"You need to have a skill or superpower," the guy on the right answered.

"I come from a family of acrobats," Maureen said. "Is that a skill?"

"Wait, aren't you the children of John and Mary Grayson?" the guy on the left asked. "Famous acrobats of Bailey's Circus?"

"Sure are," Maureen said. "Where do I sign up?"

"Maureen, I'm not letting you do this," Dick said.

"Dick, I don't want any more innocent people to die," Maureen said. "I can handle being a superhero. It's better than being a cashier."

"You didn't let me finish," Dick said. "I'm not letting you do this without me."

"Seriously?" Maureen asked.

"You're my sister," Dick said. "I know you're not a strong as me. Someone needs to watch your back."

Maureen smiled. "So where do we sign up?" she asked the two guys.
