Author's Note: Thank you for giving my fanfic a shot. Obviously this is a crossover with many different cartoon super heroes and villains. However just letting it be known that while I am (for now) limiting the hero roster to just the shows I already included, the villains can show up from just about any Action/Adventure cartoon series. I hope you will enjoy this story. After this chapter the focus will be on the new members from then onward.
Chapter 1: Recruitment
Ever since the Brotherhood of evil Robin has been constantly on the look out for new potential Titans. Every group was separated into teams with up to 10 members each and having them set up bases all over. So far the plan has worked for the most part, and many members have kept many parts of the world safe. There are many new villains arriving every day however to the Titans cannot hold back for anything. Every person they recruit is an asset in their eyes. While young heroes are not as common as villains there are a few still fighting out in the world.
Here Robin looks into the most recent vigilantes to catch his eye. First is a mysterious hero by the name Danny Phantom, from Amity Park. Robin saw his unique ethereal powers demonstrated in the news very often and has had his eyes on the potential recruit for a while. Then there is the android known as XJ-9, or Jenny, from Tremorton. She even confused Cyborg with all the weaponry and other things packed into one machine. The one who built her must have been impossibly smart to be able to create her, and the fact she is fully sentient as well, that makes her a great candidate for the group. Also there is the mysterious one known as the American Dragon of Manhattan. This one has managed to live in secret very well and was only recently found by the titans. Though they have very little footage of it, it is clear that whoever it is, based on the scan made briefly on it, the american dragon is more than just an animal, and there is a rumor it can talk to. Might be tough to get to join the group. Finally there is the most questionable potential recruit, El Tigre of Miracle City in Mexico. The reports with that boy are very inconstant between masked vigilante and masked criminal, yet most the reports the Titans get say it's the former, the other reports make him seem like a risky addition.
Robin assured the rest that he has full confidence in these young heroes. He sent his team out to track and find them and offer them a place on the team. The five of them split up all over the continent to save on time. Beast boy was hesitant to do so seeing what happened before, but since the Brotherhood of Evil was done for, he went anyways. Robin gave each of them a target he felt would make sense for them to go and meet with.
Raven arrived in Amity Park late at night. She could feel a strong astral presence in the small town, as if there was a direct link to one of the realms of the afterlife here, but as far as she knew that was impossible. She traveled the city focusing on finding the ghost boy and getting home as soon as possible. She hoped it wasn't going to be anything like the last time she was sent alone to get recruits. She wandered the city but then she saw something coming out of a wall, she first thought that it was the ghost boy, however this person seemed mechanical. A very tall mechanical man what raven could sense was a being from the afterlife.
'A mechanical spirit?' She thought to herself, 'Impossible.'
She followed the mysterious robotic ghost silently, keeping to the shadows till she could figure out what is going on. Then the spirit stopped and put his fist forward. Multiple small missile launchers were aimed at a house with a huge sign on it saying Fenton Works and a huge mechanical structure on top of it. After taking a second to roll her eyes at how ridiculously obvious a target that place was, she got ready to interfere when she saw the once she was looking for on the other side of the street. This only confused Raven further as she sensed that he was half human, but was ethereal at the same time.
'What is wrong with this place,' she said to himself, 'He can't be half dead and gain powers like this from it.'
She stood back to observe the battle. Danny's hands glowed green with energy Raven recognized as ectoplasm.
"Skulker?" Danny said, "Again? Didn't I just put you away last week?"
"Silence ghost boy," Skulker said, "This time I will have my prize."
"Hehe," Danny said, "In your dreams."
'Oh great,' Raven thought to herself, 'Another smart mouthed teen hero.'
Skulker fired the missiles at Danny who fired his ectoblasts to take them all down, then quickly flew right at him and blasted him point-blank sending him flying into the air. The ghost boy flew up after him and punches him to the ground. The hunter got back up and flew over to him to grab him, however Danny fired a bluish beam at him the froze the joints. Raven had to admit that the young hero was impressive with his abilities, but she was still very confused about both him and his opponent. Danny then flew down at Skulker and his robotic parts were damaged and a small ghostly blob popped out, that solved one thing for Raven. Danny then sucked up Skulker with a strange device. Raven decided she's seen enough and walked out into the open.
"Huh?" Danny said, "Who are you? you look familiar."
"I am Raven of the Titans," She said, "I was sent here to recruit you to join."
"Titans?!" Danny exclaimed, "Me?!"
"That's what I said," Raven said, "Do you accept it?"
"I...I need time to think," Danny said looking around
"Fine," raven said, "Just take this communicator, tell us when you make up your mind."
Raven handed him the communicator and teleports out of there back to Titan Tower. Danny looked down at the communicator, feeling honored yet nervous. He knew joining would mean he would be part of something bigger, but worried about having time for Sam and Tucker. He decided to go home and think about it.
The city of Tremorton is a city that focused a lot on its technology and it is one of the most advanced cities in the world. Cyborg was impressed with a lot of the things he saw there. He decided while he was there to buy some things to upgrade on his car with. He entered a shop and saw Dr. Wakeman. He looked at the file to confirm this. he had found the creator of XJ-9.
"Hey Excuse me?" He asked the doctor who looked over at him
"Good Heavens!" She said in surprise, "A Human with mechanical armor?"
"Um, actually no," Cyborg said, "I'm part robot actually. Long story but I am here to ask about your creation called XJ-9."
"Why on earth would I give you such information?" Wakeman asked looking at Cyborg in suspicion
"Um I am from the Titans," Cyborg said, "And I was looking to recruit her to the team."
"Hmmmm," Wakeman said, "Unacceptable."
"Wait what?" Cyborg said in shock
"I've heard of you Titans," Wakeman said, "Jenny even asked to go see you about joining before, but she needs to stay close by as I am the only one who can repair her. I am not letting her leave Tremorton just yet, she simply isn't ready."
"You gotta be kidding me," Cyborg said, "I mean really you created a super powerful sentient robot with a full personality, and you treat her like a defenseless child?"
"You just wouldn't understand," Wakeman said, "She is MORE than just a creation of mine, she is my daughter, and she is that before she is any sort of super hero."
Cyborg saw that this wasn't going to be easy. She obviously cared a lot for Jenny. Cyborg decided to drop the subject for now as he went to go think it over. As he walked through town brainstorming, something landed behind him.
"Huh? Aren't you Cyborg?!" A voice said. Cyborg turned around to see the robot he was looking for.
"Um Yeah I am, and you are Jenny?" Cyborg asked
"You know me?!" Jenny said excitedly
"Um yeah actually," Cyborg said, "In fact I came here to recruit you."
"You did?!" Jenny said, "Oh my gosh that is SOOOO COOOL."
'Maybe Starfire would get along with her better,' Cyborg thought to himself
"I would LOVE to join!" Jenny yelled, "But..."
"Your mom won't let you," Cyborg said
"How did you know?" Jenny asked
"I met her back there," Cyborg said, "Look I'll give you this communicator. If you ever manage to change her mind just call us up and you're in, ok?"
"Of Course," Jenny said quickly grabbing the communicator.
"Great," Cyborg said, "Don't lose it now."
"Oh I definitely won't!" Jenny said, "Thank you so much."
"No problem," Cyborg said, "Hopefully we'll meet again."
Beastboy arrived in Manhattan nervous as can be. He had no idea what on earth he might expect from the dragon. As far as he knew, it might be a bully, a monster, a PREDATOR! It made him sick just thinking about it. But he had a mission and he would stick by it, no matter what. He searched the area, people staring at him all over the place, for understandable reason. He felt awkward being in the big city like this, then he hatched up a great plan.
"Maybe," Beastboy said, "If I can become a dragon, he might come to me! I AM A GENIUS!"
With that BB transformed into a dragon. It was a new form to him as he never really tried it before, but as he flew around the city he got the idea. He was feeling so confident in himself when he saw what looked like a Ninja on a rooftop. He flew up and landed up there to see what was up.
"Dude you're NOT a good Ninja," Beastboy said jokingly, "I could see you CLEARLY."
"That was the idea," The mystery man said as a bunch more dressed just like him attacked Beastboy out of nowhere. Surprised and outnumbered, he was knocked out cold. He woke up a while later seeing he was in a cage. As his eyes focused he saw a bunch of ninjas, he got up ready to fight but then saw none of them were conscience. He looked around till he saw a red dragon.
"WHA!" Beastboy yelled, "Where am I? Who are you? Did YOU put me in here!?"
"What no man chill," The dragon said, "I'm just a dragon here to help a fellow dragon. I had no idea there was a green one round here though."
"Huh?" Beastboy said looking down at his body and remembering what happened, "Oh um I'm not actually a dragon you see..."
"Say what?" The dragon said
"I'm sure you heard of me," The changeling said turning to his normal self, "Beastboy, one of the original Titans."
"Oh yeah I remember!" The dragon said excitedly, "Yo dog you guys are some of the tightest heroes in the world!"
"Hehehe Thank you," Beastboy said, "So um...can you explain what is going on."
"Nope," The dragon said
"Awwww why not?" Beastboy complained
"Sorry secret stuff," The dragon said really fast, "Heck I'm gonna have to wipe your memory after this anyways."
"Wait WHAT?" Beastboy yelled, "Umm uh...you wouldn't happen to be the AMERICAN dragon, would ya?"
"How did you know about that?" The dragon said confused
"Well long story," Beastboy said taking out a communicator, "But I was sent here to recruit you."
"Say whaaat?" The dragon said, "Fo Real man?"
"Yeah fo real man," Beastboy said, "I promise you that."
"Hmmmmm," The dragon said contemplating his options
"Well," The changeling said
"I don't know," The dragon said, "As much as I want to...there are some rules ya know?"
"Oh come on," Beastboy said, "You gotta man. Can you at least accept the communicator, if you join you don't have to tell anybody anything unless you choose to. Promise!"
"I'll think about it ok?" The dragon said, "I won't tell my uh colleagues about you knowing, if you don't say anything about any of this, deal?"
"Deal," Beastboy said, "So um...the exit is..."
"Over there," said the dragon, "Maybe we'll see each other around, we could skate together or something."
"Oh sounds fun!' Beastboy said, then turned to a fly and flew towards the exit to return to base. He really hoped the dragon would join. In fact to him he felt that he could be one of the coolest recruits they could get if he joined.
Starfire got to Townsville, the home of the Powerpuff girls. While it seemed like much Starfire wanted to recruit all three of the girls. Starfire was a fan of their heroics as well as how cute the little girls were. She flew at the well known home and landed on the front porch and knocked politely. A scientist answered the door soon after.
"Hello," The man said, "Who are you."
"My name is Starfire," she said, "If I may, can I talk to your daughters?"
"Huh?" He said, "Sure go ahead. Girls!"
The three were down in a flash standing behind the man.
"Yes Professor?" They all said
"Hello," Starfire said kneeling down to meet their gaze, "I am from the Titans, and we have recognized you three as worthy of joining the Titans.
"Really?!" Bubbles said excidedly
"Oh that is sweet!" Buttercup added
"But," Blossom said, "Wouldn't that mean...we have to leave Townsville?
At that remark the three of them seemed concerned beyond belief. They were obviously protective of the city, and seeing all the unique villains they face it's hard to see why they wouldn't be.
"Well what if I had Robin put the tower the team would join be here?" Starfire said with a smile
"Well...we'd have to think about it," Blossom said
"Very well," Starfire said, handing communicators to the three of them, "Please contact us if you decide to do so."
"We will!" Buttercup said confidently.
Starfire flew off, but as she did she could have sworn there was a strange presence in the area. Something horrifying. She looked all around seeing absolutely nothing. She decided to report it to robin when she got back to see if he knew what it could be, he knew the database better then anybody else in the group.
Robin hated going to the desert. He knew he chose this himself but the heat was just killing him. He felt that since this El Tigre had a habit of using his abilities selfishly at times he felt that he needed help figuring out what he is supposed to do. If he knew it would be THIS hot he might have sent Beastboy here instead. As he traveled the city he noticed just how run down it was compared to other places he had been. It made him really wish he could do something for the people here. Then he heard an alarm at the local bank. Robin knew this wasn't his territory but he couldn't just let this slide. inside he saw a machine being piloted by an old man, whom he recognized from the files at Titan Tower as Puma Loco, and he was facing off against the main local hero White Pantera. But it looked less like a fight and more an argument. Confused Robin hid and listened in.
"Papi please this is old!" Pantera said, "It's hard enough to keep my son on the right track without your influence."
"Oh come on already we know he's gonna go on to be like me," Puma responded, "I thought it was obvious."
"Look Papi," Pantera said scoldingly, "Put the money back or else I show many a few of your secrets, or better yet make you tell them."
"Ugh fine," Puma said, "This time"
To Robin's surprise he put the bags of loot down and walked with him. Robin was trying to contemplate the fact these two were father and son, and even though they were on opposite sides they never treated eachother as enemies, then Puma Loco snuck one bag of money into the robot suit, Robin knew he had to step in now.
"Not so fast!" Robin said
"Huh?" Puma said, "Who's this clown?"
"I know him!" Pandera said, "It's Robin, leader of the super hero team the Titans!"
"Yeah," Robin said, "And I beleive that HE took something without you knowing."
Pantera then glared at his papi untill he dropped the bag
"Killjoy," He said immaturly.
"Thank you," Pantera said, "What brings you to Miracle City though?"
"I'm looking to recruit the one called El Tigre," Robin said, "But I got inturrupted by..."
"MY SON?!" Pantera interuppted excitedly, "I KNEW he would be a hero!"
"There is still time," Puma Loco grumbled
"Riiight," Robin said, "So um, can you hand him this communicator when you see him."
"Of course!" Pantera said, "Garcias!"
"Duh nada," Robin said with the little spanish he knew
"DE Nada," Puma Loco taunted
Robin sighed at the duo and walked out. This had to be the strangest recruitment he ever went for, and he didn't even meet the kid yet. He just hoped he was willing to join. With that he got on his bike and started the long trip home.
Authors Note 2: Just to clarify a few things, for the Powerpuff girls I am gonna go with the design given to them in the PPGD web comic, meaning they have hands and fingers, just a little tidbit that may or may not be good to know. Also I really hope that you will review this to point out any problems there might be with it so far so I may fix, or maybe some praise to help me get some motivation. All I ask for though is honesty so I may improve as a writer, thank you for reading.
