Chapter 1: Hauntings

The storm did not let up. In fact, it only seemed to intensify.

M'gann M'orzz, the heroine Miss Martian, shivered a little as she looked at the pouring rain and thunder clamoring down from above. This storm felt unnatural to her. Her telepathy kicked on in her meditation as she opened her eyes and shape-shifted into her costume. She looked around and tried to sense where Connor Kent, the hero Superboy, and her boyfriend, was located. When she found him, she phased through the wall and followed the sense.

Connor was outside, staring at the statues of two fallen heroes; Lance Marlo, the immortal half-dragon Diablos, and Selene, the Amazon warrior code-named Red Knight. Both had been killed by the likes of Braniac and Smithy, and Diablos was buried here, as a statue of him and Red Knight were erected in their honor. The clone touched the statue, shaking his head. He looked back and saw M'gann standing in the rain.

The rain was an unnatural color, dripping black. It was almost as if this rain was poison. M'gann looked at her boyfriend,

"Are you all right, Connor? Is something wrong?"

Connor shook his head,
"I don't know, Meg. Something's wrong. I came out to look for it, but, when I saw the statue…"
He looked away, saying,

"I don't know why, but I can almost feel Lance and Selene calling out from beyond, begging for help. I don't know how, but I just know they are in trouble."

M'gann shook her head,

"Connor, I do not doubt you, but they are dead. I know you are in pain; I can sense it from here. It is just-."

Suddenly, her telepathy kicked on and she said,

"I sense something is wrong."

Suddenly, both teens were thrust through the walls of Titans East Mansion. The other Titans East members ran in the direction and, as they all looked up, a thundering, ominous voice ordered,

"RISE!"
Meanwhile, in Miami…

Seymour, the Titans Miami hero and leader Headway, was musing through a book. The telepathic teen then heard a shout. It was Kaede, the ninja teen Onyx. She was screaming,

"NO! GET AWAY!"

Seymour blinked and jumped to find her. He telepathically called out,

Titans Miami, Kaede is in trouble! Find her!

Kaede herself was frozen in fear as she stared at seemingly nothing in the dark room. Sharon Smith, the former Hellion and now resurrected mutant Catseye, looked to her mentor,

"Sensei, is something wrong?"

Miranda, the contortionist heroine Laska, bounced in to the room,

"What's going on?"

Kaede's mouth trembled open for a few moments, before she blinked and noticed the other Titans Miami members looking at her. She shivered,

"What? Did I shout so loudly?"

Cody, the teen hero Risk, quipped,

"You were frozen, Kaede. Five more seconds and I would have copped a feel."

Sharon snarled,

'Touch her and you die."

Grace, the Titans Miami powerhouse, groaned,

"What's with the noise, anyway?"

Seymour touched Kaede's hand,

"What is it? Take your time."

Kaede shook her head,
"It was horrible, Headway-sama. A power unlike anything I have ever sensed before is here. It is as if life and death have no meaning, and are blending together. And, it has captured our friends and teammates as well."

Grace shook her head,

"Oh, come on. Seriously, that ninja $% % should be laid off on. Either that, or give Risk some of it so we don't have to listen to him whine all the time."

Risk shouted,

"Hey!"

Seymour then looked around,

"Has anyone seen Jetstream or Tarot?"

Miranda looked around,

"Come to think of it, Black Condor has not appeared here either. Where is he?"

Just then, a telepathic disturbance alerted the super-smart telepath,

"He's in trouble. Says he's…he's fighting Jetstream and Tarot. They are different somehow."

Risk groaned,

"That's it. It's official. Condor has gone off the deep end and he's going to kill us all. Might as well kiss all of our asses good bye now."

Grace hit the powerhouse upside the head and flattened his face onto the floor,

"Shut up."

Seymour said,

"Titans Miami, move out. We find Black Condor and get to the bottom of this."
