There is a bit of a gap between this chapter and the last one. But the reason for that is, that I could not think of anything good to write, and I am also trying to mix in the style of T.O.S as well.

CHAPTER 2: The Balance Of Terror

"Captains Log, Stardate 2263.04. Our ship has taken on some unusual guests, Guests that claim to be from another Universe. While we do not yet know if this is true, as they appear to be only Teenagers, Dr. McCoy is examining them in sick bay."

"Well you all appear to be in good health", Dr. McCoy said to the Titans, as Kirk walked into Sick-Bay. "Status Report?", Kirk asked McCoy. "Well, as you probably heard me say, when you walked in. They all appear to be in good health.", He said simply. "Although it doesn't explain, how or why they're here.", He added in. "Thanks Bones.", Kirk replied. With that, the ship shook violently. Throwing everyone to the floor, the siren rang. "WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?", Kirk screamed. The intercom rang. Kirk ran towards it and slapped the switch, "Kirk, here", He said. Sulu was on the other line, "Captain we're under attack from The Romulans", He shouted down the line. "I'll be right up", he said. And with that he slapped the switch and ran out of the room, leaving everyone to recover.

"Is everyone okay?", McCoy shouted out. "I'm okay", Beast Boy said. "I'm okay", Raven said. "I'm fine too", Robin & Cyborg said together. "Starfire?", Robin called out. "Starfire?", He said again, this time his voice was filled with worry. It was Dr. McCoy who found Starfire, "She's over here", He shouted. The Titans stood up and walked over to McCoy. He was standing over Starfire's unconscious body, a small pool of blood, below her head. "STARFIRE!", Robin screamed, with tears in his eyes.

The Turbolift opened, and Kirk ran onto the bridge and sat down on his chair, he slapped a button on the right arm of his chair, "Mr. Scott, Status report?", He asked. "The buggers have taken out our number two engine, and we've already lost decks eight through to ten, Cap'n.", He said. "I think it's time you worked a miracle or two.", Kirk said with an exhausted chuckle. "I'll see what I can do. Scott out", He said, the link then terminated.

"Captain, the ship is hailing us.", Uhura said. "Onscreen", Kirk commanded. With that, the face of a Romulan appeared on the Main Viewscreen. The Romulan spoke, "I am Captain S'taan, of the Romulan ship Nerada. Surrender or be Destroyed.", He said in an commanding tone. "I'm Captain James T. Kirk of the Federation Starship Enterprise, we did nothing to aggravate you. We are on but a simple survey mission nowhere near the Neutral Zone. Why did YOU attack us? And WHY did you cross the border?", Kirk commanded. "That is none of your business, Federation pig.", S'taan spat. "It is our business, ya hear me.", Kirk roared. "We are separate from the empire. So the normal rules do not govern us.", S'taan said coldly. "That still doesn't give you reason to attack a federation vessel.", Kirk replied.

"Captain, they are beaming aboard.", Spock said.

Starfire lay on a bed in sickbay, in a coma.

"Will she be alright?", Robin asked, his eyes full of fear. "Her condition's stabilized. She'll be fine.", McCoy said. Robin was unable to reply, his worry forbade it. "That's good to know.", Cyborg said. "Dude, you okay?", Beast Boy asked Robin. "I…I'm fine, Beast Boy.", Robin managed to say. Dr. McCoy looked at Robin, then at Starfire, then he looked at Cyborg, "Those two, together?", He said, pointing at Robin and Starfire. "Yeah, Doc. They are.".

Just then, three Romulan soldiers entered the room. All three carrying large handheld phasers. They aimed their guns at the group, "Nobody move.", The leader of the trio said. "What in the name of…", McCoy began, but he was cut off when one of the Romulans pointed his phaser at McCoy's head. "Shut up.", The Romulan said. "What do you want?", Robin said with anger. "Yeah.", Beast Boy snarled at them.

The leader of the three intruders looked at Beast Boy, and then pointed his gun at him. But the Romulan didn't have time to fire, as Beast Boy morphed into a gorilla and quickly threw him against a wall. The other two Romulans looked at Gorilla/Beast for a second, then they pointed their guns toward him and fired. But Raven's dark energy surrounded Gorilla/Beast protecting him from the barrage of lasers. Robin kicked the one closest to him in the face, knocking him out cold and Cyborg took care of the final one, by picking him up and throwing him into the sickbay doors.

All that, Doctor McCoy could say was, "Good God.".

The Com-Link on Kirk's chair beeped, he pressed the button, "What is it, Bones?", He said quickly. "Jim, we've just caught three intruders in Sickbay. Get a security team down here now.", He said. "Got it, Bones.", Kirk said with a small chuckle. He switched the com-link off, and looked at the Viewscreen. "We have your men.", Kirk said to the Romulan captain. "Now back off, or we execute them.", Kirk said menacingly. "You lie, Kirk. It goes against all Federation rules.", S'taan said. "D'ya wanna bet.", Kirk challenged. The Romulan captain thought for a moment, and then finally said "Okay Kirk, we will leave. BUT we will be back.", Kirk cheerfully nodded.
