Cyborg took a deep breath as he stepped into the T-Tower. It was nice to be back there. Why he was there he didn't know. He had got the signal from Raven just after he'd saved Steel City for the fourth time that week. He looked around the room at the old team. Knightwing, Starfire, Beastman. There was just one person missing. Raven. That was odd since she was the one who sent out the call-back signal. Everyone else seemed as pleased as he was to see the whole team back again.

"Cyborg!" Knightwing said as he stood up and walked over to Cyborg, "It's good to see you again."

"Right back at you, Knightwing," Cyborg replied, "I hear you ran into some villain calling himself Eric the Viking?"

"That's correct, but…how do you know about him?" Knightwing seemed puzzled.

"He's turned up in Steel City as well. He started screaming something about storming the world with resurrected soldiers. Do you know what he was on about?"

"Nope, but Raven might. Speaking of Raven, it's not like her to not turn up to an emergency meeting. We should go look for her."

Raven stared with loathing at Eric the Viking. He had knocked back every single thing she had attacked him with and then managed to bat her through a fence like she was some kind of insect. It was almost as if he couldn't feel pain. How was that possible? Unless…he wasn't alive! Raven had heard from Cyborg about the speech that he'd given when they'd fought. It was time to put this undead menace back to where he came from!

"Azarath, Metrion, Zinthos!" She cried as she levitated a large sheet of steel that wrapped around Eric the Viking until he was completely immobile. Then she blacked out.

When Raven awoke she found her friends looking down at her. They must have got her signal. All of them. Cyborg! Knightwing! Starfire! Beastman! She had to reveal her plan to protect Jump City to them.

"New Titans!" She yelled. Her friends looked at her like she had just turned into a tap-dancing cricket. "That's what we need to protect this city. We need to recruit and train a new team of Teen Titans!" After a long silence Knightwing spoke up.

"That just might work, Raven. Is that why you called us all here?" he said. Raven nodded, "Well, then. Looks like we need to find some recruits."

"No need," Raven said, "I have been tracking five young heroes' who will all be turning thirteen next year. They should be what we need. Let me show you."

Raven booted up the super computer that was wired into the T-Tower. Five pictures flashed up on the giant screen. Raven gestured at the first picture. It was a tall girl wearing skin tight body armour.

"This is Solana Jones," Raven said, "She can control all things that are made of a metal substance. Her hair can also turn into sharp spikes that she then flicks at her opponents. When she's doing her superhero work, she goes by the name of Barb."

The screen changed to show a beautiful girl with long flowing lilac hair.

"This is Splurge. She can change into anything that she's ever seen. Her true name is still unknown to me, but she'll have to give it if she is recruited." The next picture was a girl with huge white wings and a horn on the tip of her head.

"This girl has powers similar to Aqualad's. She can manipulate any body of water that she's near. As well as that she can fly as high as a bird. She goes by the name of Albatross."

"So are there any boys that you've found?" asked Beastman.

"Patience." Raven replied simply.

The screen flickered as it brought up a short video clip. In it a short, weedy guy with thick glasses changed suddenly into a werewolf. The Titans looked confused so Raven explained.

"This is Hawk. His DNA was merged with a wolfs at a young age and as a consequence whenever he sees or hears another dog or wolf he turns into the werewolf you just saw. He calls himself hawk because he has such good eyesight." The fifth picture to come up was a incredibly small kid with long hair, enormous muscles and stubble.

"This is the final hero I observed. He calls himself Flex. His metabolism, which is what makes you grow, changed for some reason and went all into his muscles and stopped him getting bigger. That's all of the potential recruits. I think they've got what it takes. What do you think Knightwing?" Raven asked.

"I think," said Knightwing, "We've got ourselves a team."

And so the new team has been picked. Find out what happens when they arrive at the tower and begin training in Chapter 3!
