AN: All right readers.
A word of caution before reading: many characters will be added, and I mean a LOT. I may even have to change the way I arrange things in this story (i.e. "story form" with a set amount of characters, as opposed to "commentary form" with many characters in the scene). Even though this is a huge step on my effort, please be willing to understand where I'm coming from with this. Besides, the time frame here covers about 16 years.
To add on to that, I know that Titans X are now affiliated with the Bean Titans now... but after this story, the most of the focus will fall upon the Bean Titans since they were the ones who began it all.
If you want a better understanding of what I'm writing about, feel free to let me know your thoughts and concerns or read my previous stories. I myself am still on-edge about how I'm doing, but I'll be happy to help you guys out if you have any concerns.
Well, read on... and keep up as much as you can.

Chapter 1 - The Proposal
Lucky of Titans X was requested to have a conference with Sweet of the Bean Titans. Apparently, Sweet had been thinking about some things-of ways to expand his "family". It was the reason why he wanted to have a leader-to-leader talk.
Soon, the dalmatian was on the outskirts of Galveston, near the shore. Mac was waiting for Lucky, to "escort" him to the roof of Titans Tower, where Sweet was.
"Ah, Lucky... you're here." Sweet said, welcoming his friend. Lucky walked to him.
"Nice view up here..." Lucky spoke, remembering that the Tower was sitting on its own island off of the coast.
"Yes, but let's get down to the matter." Sweet suggested, as Lucky turned his attention to Sweet.
"So, what's on your mind?" Lucky asked.
"Not too long ago," the orangutan began, "my guardians visited us, after such a long time. I hadn't met you when they came. They know a lot about many things, and proved it by telling me and the rest of the Top 12 about our parents, whether or not our parents were doing well. The results: Canyon's and Fancy's are fine, but everyone else's are either deceased or in a state of distress. The one that really hit me was Mystic and her parents. Except for her, they have less than 3 years to live due to being hexed by the Phoenix, Mystic's inner curse."
"I'm sorry to hear that..." Lucky uttered.
"I was as well. Then my guardians' message made sense, after leaving Mystic's home. Along with us being heroes, the Bean Titans and Titans X, what we have now is more responsibility. It's not just about fighting bad guys and training, but also managing our heroic family as a whole. Which brings me to my question: would it help if both the Bean Titans and Titans X join together as one whole group?"
"In other words, we grow and keep in closer touch with each other... you help us, we help you?"
"Exactly." Sweet responded.
"Then why would I say no?" Lucky chuckled.
"Great! So it's a done deal." Sweet said, handing Lucky the new and improved communicator. It was a circular stopwatch with the perimeter of a CD, the same kind of technology as the old watches, and a "T" emblem on the cover.
"Well, I guess this operation is a go."
"Yes it is. *shakes his hand* Take care of things on your side." Sweet concluded, before calling Mac to transport Lucky back to San Francisco.

A stronger alliance is now forged within both of the Bean Titans and Titans X. But what does the future hold for them? Despite the good and bad times to come, the responsibility upon their shoulders will grow.
In the next section: I'm going to have to introduce most of the rest of the characters that may be used later on. Please bear with me... besides, this is where the "fun" really begins.
