Flashback:
Robin, angrier, threw XL Terrestrial to the ground and said "You're already in deep enough trouble. Adding a Hate crime to your rep would be enough to get you the death penalty!"
XL paused for a few seconds on the ground then laughed.
"Bird Boy, Bird Boy. It wouldn't be a crime. I'd be doing my civic duty! Last week, The Galactic Congress ordered that the Tamaranian Race be wiped out!"
Everyone gasped.
--------------------------------------------Later, at Titans Tower---------------------------------------
"…Teen Titans calling Batman. Teen Titans calling Batman." Cyborg desperately whispered into the microphone.
The screen displayed only static for a few seconds, then something appeared: A man in a rather familiar cowl, with a cave in the background. The secret frequency Robin used to keep in contact with Batman (just in case something happened in one area that directly affected the other) was now active.
"Batman here. Where's Robin?"
Raven, who was standing nearby at the time along with Starfire and Beast Boy, said "In his room. I can feel his anger all the way down here."
"Why should he be angry? I heard you guys took down XL Terrestrial, and saved the planet!"
Cyborg, unchanged, said "Just after he lost, XL called Starfire a… bad name, and said her entire race was going to be wiped out. Says it's an order from the 'Galactic Congress' or something."
Batman paused for a second, and said "Any more information?"
Cyborg manipulated the controls for the computer and said "We have the interrogation record right here. I'm sending it to you right now."
------------------------------------------------(Interrogation tape) ------------------------------------------
The video started, and XL Terrestrial was handcuffed to the table, struggling to break free. Robin walked in, sat don in front of the alien racist, and started:
"Alright, XL. I want answers. Tell me what you know about this."
"G/dares, You're attached to that little troq, aren't you?"
"That's putting it lightly."
"That's the only thing on which we differ, Robin. I was very much a version of you on my planet. I only came to earth because the troqs destroyed my homeworld!"
Robin slammed his fists on the interrogation table as he said:
"That's impossible! I met Tamaranians before, and they're not conquererors! Except for a few, they never left their planet!"
"Believe what you want. I saw it. Their hordes laid waste to my great world. I arrived here with nothing, especially no knowledge of how to survive on this world! Even though he did brainwash me, I owe Brother Blood that much."
"Cut to the chase, XL. When did the 'Galactic Congress' order its members to commit genocide?"
"In your earthly time-frame, it would be approximately eight days. By now, they've set up the blockade around Tamaranian orbit, preventing them from leaving. I also learned that they had developed a weapon that would obliterate them all in one shot. I only wanted to become as big as a planet because I wanted to be that weapon!"
"So you could tear Tamaran apart with your bare hands?"
"Precisely. I would have made the troqs pay for what they did to my planet."
"Well, It didn't happen. It's never going to happen. I'll see to it that you are imprisoned for life!"
"The Galactic Congress would consider me a hero! You will bring their wrath upon your planet if you dare to imprison me!"
"Last I checked, Earth was such a 'backwards world,' most aliens ignore us. I'm more worried about what happens to Starfire's friends and family."
Xl Terrestrial struggled against his handcuffs agian, shouting "The infinite races of the universe will make you pay for what you are doing! Your world is doomed by your actons!"
"No one's going to die! Especially not Starfire!" Robin shouted in the alien's face before storming out of the room in anger.
-----------------------------------------(Tape ends)-----------------------------------------
Batman, with barely any emotional change, said "Interesting, Titans. So, what does all of this have to do with me?"
"The Justice League of America gets missions in space more often than we do. I was wondering if you could tell us anything you know about this." asked Cyborg.
"Sorry, Titans. For a month prior to the date you listed, The Justice League has been dealing with threats more close to home. In the times we did go out into space, we never heard anyone talk about the Tamaranians."
Just as the rest of the Titans were about to hang up, Batman suddenly remembered something: "Wait. Eight days ago…That's how long the Green Lantern has been AWOL from Justice League meetings!"
Everyone's eyes lit up.
"Whatever is keeping him, it must be something to do with the Congress, and it must be very important. I'd suggest going to Oa first, and consulting the Guardians of the Universe about this. See if they know anything."
"Got it."
"Good luck, Titans. Batman out."
----------------------------------------------------Later----------------------------------------------------------
Starfire walked into Robin's room, careful not to disturb him. He was sitting on the floor, using a meditation technique he learned from Raven.
"Azarath Metrion Zinthos…. Azarath Metrion Zinthos…. Azarath Metrion Zinthos…."
"…Robin? Are you okay?"
Without turning around, Robin paused, and said "What does it look like?"
"How goes the meditation?"
"Not so good. I've been trying to calm down ever since I interrogated XL Terrestrial."
"Oh. I just wanted to let you know that we have spoken to the 'The Justice League of America,' and they have told us that since my people have been marked for destruction, the Green Lantern has been 'ay-wall.' They also suggest we speak to the Guardians of the Universe about what is going on."
"A lead. finally." And with that, Robin walked over to his room's door, and pressed the alarm.
"Titans, meet me in the T-ship hangar. We have a Holocaust to prevent."
Robin rushed out the door, and Starfire shouted "Do you not wish to grab a meal before we go?"
-------------------------------------------------T-ship hangar, 5 minutes later--------------------------------------
"Main Power, on." reported Robin.
"Ion thrusters, full power." reported Cyborg.
"Defensive systems, active." reported Raven.
"Oxygen tanks, at maximum." reported Beast Boy.
"Other systems, are capable." reported Starfire.
"Titans, launch!"
And with that, the T-ship's orbital thrusters engaged, carrying the five underage astronauts into orbit.
"Next stop, Oa!"
Next Time, what will the Titans find at Oa?
