Chapter 2: The First Star Piece!
Oblivious to the League's plight, Persiana was holding a training session with Donna and Selene. A good fight was what was needed to cheer up the lioness, especially about what happened to Batgirl and Supergirl. (1) The Kryptonian heroine and Longshot, after taking a hiatus, were now back on in the League as well as Barbara, but there was tension between them all. Farrah snarled; she hated the fact that three friends like that were not getting along and should have.
Selene, the heroine Red Knight, was a brunette Amazon and Donna's old flame. She was eager to join, and the swordswoman proved to be a valuable resource. However, Farrah was not comfortable around her, especially when Selene would constantly try and pair up Donna and her together.
Red Knight shrugged,
"So, what are we going to do today?"
Wonder Girl shook her head,
"I do not know, but Persiana definitely has something planned."
Farrah smirked,
"Yeah, you'll definitely get a good work out after this."
Selene grinned lecherously,
"Not as much as you should be getting with Donna. That woman can go for hours."
Donna admonished her,
"Sister!"
Farrah rolled her eyes,
"Why do you keep trying to pair us up, Selene?"
The swordswoman playfully sauntered up to the lioness,
"Come on, don't tell me you're still with that man Lance?"
Persiana reared her fangs in anger, snarling,
"Lance has been very good to me. Trust me, if he were cheating on me, I would know."
The brunette swordswoman shook her head in sympathy,
"Dear, dear sister. You really should try bonding with another woman. If Donna's not up to the task…"
She gently traced a finger down the stitching of Farrah's costume,
"I will be more than happy to show you what you're missing."
At this, Persiana flipped Selene over, the Amazon landing on her backside. Red Knight shouted,
"Hey!"
Donna smiled,
"You should have been aware of your opponent, sister. Farrah does not tolerate someone touching her unless she wishes it."
Selene smirked,
"You like to play rough. So do I. "
She tried to trip her, but Farrah was too quick, taking to the air and skillfully dodging the attack. Selene stood back up and watched Persiana land,
"Incredible! You are a terrific warrior!"
She then asked,
"Why did you not vie for leadership of Titans East? You easily have the skill set to be leader."
Farrah shook her head,
"My job is to protect my team and the innocent. The politics of leadership are simply not suited for someone of my tastes. Besides, I trust Donna's judgment."
Selene folded her arms,
"I still don't like that man. He disturbs me."
Donna nodded,
"I admit, Lance is quite an unusual man, but he has proven himself worthy of my trust. Give it time, Selene, and he will earn yours."
Just then, Diablos' voice went on the intercom,
"Titans, report upstairs immediately. We have a situation."
The three ladies went upstairs.
Diablos, Miss Martian, Red Star, Hawkeye, and Superboy were all watching chaos unfold. They had never seen enemies like the ones that were attacking. The red-eyed hero was in communication with Titans West and Titans Miami,
"I understand. We'll do what we can here."
M'gan studied the villains,
"Why are many of them jumping like that?"
Superboy scratched his head,
"I've seen this before. I just can't place it."
Farrah looked on the screen,
"What's going on?"
Diablos explained,
"This is a city wide attack. Many of them are holding up in City Hall."
A reporter came on,
"We have breaking news. Someone called Mack is has demanded that all citizens of New York City surrender to the will of Smithy. Witnesses report seeing a large star in his possession. There are still hostages inside City Hall…This just in, the Justice League Watchtower has just been overtaken by-."
The transmission was cut off. Selene cracked her knuckles,
"Those abominations are going to pay dearly for this."
Diablos said,
"First, we secure City Hall and get that large star away from this Mack."
The brunette Amazon asked,
"Can we torture him for information?"
Wonder Girl rolled her eyes,
"Must you be so violent, sister?"
Persiana smirked,
"We should get the people to safety, then have fun."
Selene grinned,
"I like the way she thinks."
Diablos then said,
"Titans, GO!"
Wonder Girl scowled,
"That's my line!"
Near City Hall…
An armored minion of Smithy's was bouncing on a large sword. His name is Mack, one of Smithy's generals. Along with him were several small, hooded figures with masks. The masks themselves had two holes for the eyes and a hole for the mouth. They looked like they had an expression of shock on their faces. (2) All of them were jumping on pogo-sticks.
Mack cackled,
"These fools are of no consequence. With their Justice League defeated, there is no one on this planet that can defeat us! HAHAHA!"
Not too far away from city hall…
A green warp pipe appeared just outside the grounds and Mario, Geno, and Toadstool jumped out of it. The Italian plumber shook his head,
"That was some ride."
He looked around,
"We're in New York!"
Toadstool gasped,
"Is this what your home looks like, Mario?"
Mario shrugged,
"If Smithy's forces weren't around, I'd take you to the best Italian restaurant in the city."
The blue-clothed doll shook his head,
"Later, Mario. Right now, we have to stop Mack."
Geno tilted his head to the side, as if to hear something. He then said,
"We're going to get help from some people."
Toadstool asked,
"Do these people know of magic like we do?"
A battle cry went up,
"Titans, GO!"
Geno said,
"We're about to find out."
