As Kyprinos swam to the ocean floor, the tower lifted off and on board; Ultra Titan was having a serious conversation with batgirl and superboy. "I know the two of you are very different people, and Conner, I know things have been hard for you since all your original team mates, and... M'gann are dead now but you can't take that out on us. As for you, Batgirl, you need to start acting like part of the team, part of the family. You haven't even told us your real name, let alone see you wearing anything other than your all concealing costume."

Batgirl sighed, looked at the ground, then looked at Superboy. "You're right Mort. That doesn't make it any easier for me though. Batman* took me in after Deathstroke killed my entire family, all because they trusted the wrong people. I shouldn't let that cloud my judgement of you guys though. I'm sorry."

Superboy sighed as well. "I agree that you're right Mortimer. But I've been with Young Justice, Teen Titans, The Justice League, all sorts of teams. I've seen all of them age and wither away and I've stood there unaffected by the passing time. It gets easier to deal with but... It's a long way from desirable."

Satisfied by their apologies, Mort turned around and went back to bed.

Whilst the Titans were coming to an understanding, someone else was listening. He'd used the old CCTV and patched it through his communicator.

'Great, just great' thought Kyprinos, as he touched down lightly on the ocean floor. 'Soon, they'll start asking questions about me.' He pulled a small ball out of his pocket and threw it towards the ground. He changed areas of the water to the perfect conditions to cultivate fast growing coral. In five minutes he had a tiny, one roomed, coral house. It was a marvel he'd invented long before joining the original teen titans

70 years earlier

The front doorbell of Titans Tower rang, and after losing a round of 'rock, paper, scissors' with Cyborg, Beast Boy was elected to answer the door. "Can I help you?" He asked, with a bored look on his face. Then he saw who, or rather what, was standing on the front door. "Umm, Raven? Your Dad wouldn't happen to have any... Fish like servants hell bent on revenge would he?" After a few seconds Raven responded. "Not that I can think of, No."

Beast Boy turned his gaze back on the fish like creature before him. It was about 5 foot tall, and it's head resembled a Koi carp. "Beast Boy, I presume?" It asked. "Allow me to introduce myself. I am Kyprinos, a super powered atlantian from a colony around Japan, and heard of your exploits whilst seeking a mentor. I am thirteen years old, a mere infant by the standards of my people."

"Um. The decision of whether or not you can join is up to Robin, not me. I take it that is why you're here?"

It had been good, back in the old days. Kyprinos was now almost 82, which by the standards of his people, roughly translated to 19. Whilst not immortal, his tribe tended to live for hundreds of years. He'd been with the titans for most of his life, but never had he encountered a team as dysfunctional as the ones that hovered somewhere above the surface.

His thoughts, however, were cut short by an explosion, and someone in an orange and black scuba suit entered his small room and knocked him out.

*Not Bruce wayne batman, but the batman of the 2080's.

A/N: well there you go! That'sthe second chapter over and done with! I'm really enjoying writing this, and I hope anyone reading enjoys it too! I'm going to work Warp in to the story, so we can have some time travel, but for now there's gonna be a few chapters dedicated to Slade Wilson, Deathstroke.
