Chapter 2: The Team Titans
It had only been week since the portal opened, but oh a lot had already changed. With the arrival of the Titans the Team called in the Justice League. All of the League members wracked their brains for a way to send Titans back to their own Universe, but any technology with interdimensional capabilities was destroyed by the Justice League because it would have been simply to dangerous, and the only magic user aligned with the League that had the juice to send the Titans back to their home dimension was Dr. Fate and he didn't want to send them back telling them, "You were obviously brought here by fate, so Fate shall not send you back until you have accomplished what it is you need to do here."
It was decided by Batman and agreed by the Justice League and the Team that the Titans should stay at Mount Justice with M'gann and Conner. It was nice, not much was taking place and the Team hadn't really had any missions that required the Titans to become active so that the six of them could acclimate to the new environment. The older Dick did stay with Batman for a couple days and upon his return he was outfitted in a new costume, a black bodysuit with a blue eagle on the front. He still had a utility belt and similar equipment, other than replacing his old expanding bo staff for two metal Escrima sticks. With his return came a change in name, something he had been thinking about since his eighteenth birthday just two months prior. He told everyone to call him "Nightwing." Just so everyone wouldn't be confused between him and the new Robin.
Within the week the Titans had found friends for themselves in this new Team. Beast Boy enjoyed the company of Wally West and the younger Robin who he felt like he could relate to way more than his leader. Starfire and M'gann became quick friends, especially as they were both aliens who enjoyed earthling culture. Nightwing and Aqualad got on swimmingly as the two found themselves to be serious strategist and for once Nightwing found himself well matched in a multitude of thinking games. That and the fact that the two were almost even in pure hand to hand capabilities. Cyborg found himself friends with Superboy, the both of them enjoyed working on various Machines, Cyborg even finding ways to help Superboy with many of the more technical parts of machinery. Artemis and Zatanna quickly befriended Raven. Raven had a similar personality with Artemis and Zatanna wanted to understand Raven's magic. Terra even made friends with Rocket, the two of them being free spirits and all.
Even though they had found friends with the Team that did not stop Aqualad and Nightwing from setting team building exercises for the new Team. In fact with the inclusion of the two teams Robin and Aqualad decided to give the "Team" a new name, the Team Titans, playing on the similarities of the words Teen and Team. They also decided that both of them would remain the leaders, making it easier in larger missions for them to work in varying ways. In a smaller mission though they would decide on a Mission Leader just to make sure there wasn't confusion.
It was in this state that Robin and Nightwing found themselves face to face a couple of days after returning to Mount Justice. Robin wanted to know everything about Nightwing, especially were the new suit and name came from. Nightwing explained, "Well Starfire went to the future and there she saw me, but I went by the name Nightwing. Apparently I had this suit, or something similar and long hair. I was taller too." He gave chuckle, "Yeah, I guess it was a pretty bleak future according to Star…" He looked away and Robin smirked, "So, you like her don't you."
Nightwing just chuckled, "There was a time when I would splutter and say no, but we've gotten closer lately. We've been dating for a couple of months now." There was a content smile on Nightwing's face
Cyborg and Superboy were in the hangar of the hideout as they worked on different vehicles. Cyborg was making an even better T-car, what with the more advanced tech. He was going wild and Superboy shook his head, "You really like this stuff don't you?"
Cyborg popped his head up and looked at Superboy as though the half-Kryptonian were absolutely out of his mind, "Yeah I like working on this stuff man! It's so great and if something works it works!" Cyborg thought for a moment and then decided he wanted to continue his conversation with the younger hero, "So, didja get all of Superman's Super Strength?"
Superboy's expression tensed as he looked down at his hand, "I don't know, I've never had to push myself to see if I could lift the same things he could. I don't think so though, I think he punches a little harder than me."
Cyborg nodded, "I'm pretty strong too, although Starfire's a little stronger than me," He stated even though it was pretty well known in their own dimension or universe or whatever that Starfire was a might bit more than a little stronger, "So you're the powerhouse with Ms. Martian not that far behind right?" Superboy gave a terse nod to show that this was the truth. "You got Kid Flash for speed, Robin for stealth, Aqualad for leadership and slight magic, Zatanna for more major magick, Rocket for Defense, and Artemis for distance. Man your team's a lot bigger than ours, but I guess you guys get a lot more work and you split up a lot." He gave a nod thinking of their dynamic.
Beast boy was hanging out with Wally and Robin about an hour later, Beastboy explaining how Cyborg and he had created "STANKBALL!" Wally and Robin just laughed at the story, especially when Raven turned the putrid creation on Cyborg. The three of them spent a lot of their time telling of different hijinks. Eventually they were joined by Terra and Rocket. Beastboy made his normal goo goo eyes at his girlfriend and said, "It's weird being here around a young Robin."
Terra whispered back, "I know! It's like learning that Cinderblock's a genius or something, it's just to freaky." They both started to giggle before Superboy walked in.
"It's freakier when I see you transform into one of your crazy green animals, especially your monkey forms." He chuckled as Beastboy gawked at him and then remembered that Superboy did have super hearing,
"How do you get used to that?" Beastboy asked Robin and Wally incredulously.
They both shrugged looking at each other, "How to you get used to having a half-robotic best friend?" Robin questioned him.
Before BB could respond the alert sounded and Nightwing appeared, "Titans!" They all gathered around a screen as Batman's face appeared, "Okay Team." Nightwing cleared his throat loudly and Batman's eyes narrowed at the teenager, "Sorry, Team Titans, we have a big mission, one that requires all of you. Vertigo, Bane, Ultra-Humanite, Parasite, and a few low level villains have all been in contact with one another. The League is involved with an Apokoliptic problem and can't investigate. We need to the Teen Titans to take care of this and get us any information on their activities. I expect results within a week."
Nightwing smirked, "You ready Team Titans? GO!"
