Introductions
#Part 2#
Wally stumbled on the said meeting room, and by god he was surprised. It was very dark. Only the blue colors of the minimalist neon blue lights were visible. There was a huge round table in the middle and the room was filled and seated with the superheroes also known as the Titans.
"Megan has confirmed that Wally is telling the truth." Damian said. "Since Wally is in our universe right now and he was a hero, I want you all to treat him and welcome him like our newest member. All of you, let's start off with the introductions, real name included."
Damian stood up from his seat and introduced himself. "My name is Damian Wayne. I'm the owner of Wayne Enterprise after my father retired. I'm the son of Bruce Wayne and Talia Al Ghul. I was trained by the League of Assassins and Ra's Al Ghul, not the kindest peoples you would imagine. I was a real annoying snob who had no sympathy towards others and wouldn't just leave peoples alone... maybe I still am..."
That got a chuckle out of the members.
"But the Bat Clan has changed me." Damian said. "Dick, Tim, Stephanie, all has worked their hardest to shape me to what I am right now. Right now, I'm Robin and I'm leading this team as best as I could. That's all."
Everyone clapped on with Wally following. For the next introduction, the chick with the natural tan and pink armor stood up. She looked absolutely amazing, and he could see Damian darting his eyes towards her.
"My name is Starfire. You can call me Kori or Star." She began. "I am from planet called Tamaran. I came here to Earth after I escaped from a terrible war in my planet. There's no such war right now, but I preferred to stay here with my friends where I have a purpose, and a better life."
She gave her stunning green eyes towards Damian and smiled at him. Even the brooding jerk like Damian had to respond to that stunning smile with his, and it was true. Tim had told him about how much he could never shut up about her, and the proof was there.
Garfield, the little green beast, faked a sneeze towards the two as a form of interruption. Both gave him death glares in result, causing him to widen his eyes and slowly put his hands back.
"Sorry!" Garfield scratched his back.
Starfire sighed. "It is your turn now."
"Right!" Garfield rose up from his seat, jumping, and began his introductions. "My name is Garfield Logan. You can call me Beast Boy!"
From the way he acted, the way he stood up right on the middle of the superheroes, Wally could tell that he already liked the guy.
"My origin story begins a looong time ago." Garfield began. "It was a fun time in Gotham City. I had a school, a non-existent social life, a bully that bullies me every five seconds even to this day..."
He crossed his eyes and darted towards the giant robot Cyborg. "Hey sorry, Man."
"But then I met Damian and it was so cool of him!" Garfield said. "But I have a secret. I had this sickening disease called Sakuia. And dun dun dun... there was no cure! So my parents did their best to find a cure. Then I went to STAR Labs and I got cured! Everything went so well and good, right?"
"No." The chick with the purple hood and leotard replied very coldly. Garfield could only look her in disgust, even though she's probably right.
"She's right." He sighed. He stopped his array of cheerful storytelling and turned into a depressed mode. His voice was not as cheerful as before, and his tone began to drop down into a normal state. "The boat had an accident and it killed my parents. I dropped into the sea and began to transform and adapt. I got castaway on an island. There I found my calling. I learned my powers and began to embrace it as a part of my own. That's where Damian found me. That's where I became Beast Boy."
After that rather depressing turn of event, Garfield put both his hands on his hips and began smiling again. "If it hadn't been for you guys, I would have been so depressed. I would've been so sad, but look at me now! I'm smiling again! I want to fight! I want to kick ass! That's because you guys helped me on my way. Thanks! I love you! I love you all!"
Everyone clapped.
For some reason, when he said the word 'I love you', his attention froze on the purple hood chick. She was startled and widened her eyes at first, but the moment he said 'I love you all', she began to unease and sighed in disappointment. Is there something going on between the two? Or was it just him?
"Raven?" Damian called. "It's your turn."
Raven sighed and stood up in the most nonchalant of fashion. "My name is Raven. You can call me Rae or Rachel or whatever. I'm an empath and a sorcerer, but contrary to popular belief, I don't drink human blood. The less you know about me the better."
Garfield giggled under his breath. Raven noticed this and was sort of disturbed out by that. Just at first glance, Wally might not really like Raven, but the green beast Garfield had eyes on her for some reason. So perhaps there was something that he liked about her.
"Booyah! My turn!" Cyborg stood up. "Name's Cyborg. Real name's Victor Stone. I got turned into a Cyborg because Deathstroke sliced me up into pieces and stabbed me in the eye. Thank you so much by the way Slade, the maniac! Thanks to him, I got this weird face with Terminator eyes. Everyone's starting to look at me weird. But ever since I joined the Titans, everyone's starting to dig me! Everyone loves me because I'm saving the world! Thank you so much, guys!"
"You're welcome, Vic." Damian replied, continued with everyone clapping their hands.
Cyborg could potentially be a fun guy. Knowing that he bullied Garfield, he might not be, but at least he's having fun.
Megan stood up. She looked slightly different, but not much different other than her outfit which also wasn't too different than the original. Wally didn't really need introductions from her, but it didn't hurt to listen anyway.
"My name is Megan Morse." She began. "I'm a Martian, a shapeshifter, telepath, and from Mars. Me and my uncle the Martian Manhunter John Jones shapeshift into humans and started a new life here. When I hear that my blood can be used to save lives, I donor my blood. One of those bloods went into Garfield, and he's now my human-animal-shifting half-brother."
"Thanks, Sis!" Garfield said, giving a thumbs up and a bright smile.
"No problem!" She returned them. "Anyway, I didn't really know what to do with my powers until I meet all of you. Thank you so much for giving me purpose here. I wanted to do good and I wanted to make the world a better place. I have that chance here. Thank you."
Everyone clapped once again. This time, it was the guy that Wally had the most chats before Tim Drake.
"Right, my turn." He said. "My name is Tim Drake. I'm the owner of Drake Industries. I, Damian, and Stephanie are used to be heroes of Gotham City. I'm known as Red Robin, and I'm here to not only train martial arts, but to help as well. I'm not as good as when I do in my early years, but I'm doing as best as I can."
Tim took a seat back and it's his girlfriend's turn.
"My name is Stephanie Brown. I'm Batgirl. Need I say more?" She began. "Okay maybe a few more would be nice. I'm just a normal kid on the streets who was trained for a fight by a former soldier. But then I found out my criminal dad is on the loose. I put up a costume to kick his ass and Batman recognized me. So he trained me, a bunch of things happen, and here I am. Thanks."
Stephanie sat down. Wally wondered how the hell could Tim ended up with a smug girl like that.
The next one was Donna Troy, this world's version of Wonder Girl. Wonder Girl has a black hair this time unlike Cass. She didn't have the same costume as Wonder Woman, but her beauty and likeness really reflect the Princess of Themyscira.
"I am Donna Troy." She said. "I was trained by Wonder Woman to become the Earth's mightiest warriors. With the powers of the Amazons, I bring peace to this world with the help of my friends, the Titans. That is all."
She smiled. Donna sounded like a very gentle and nice person. It boggled his mind why Tim would break up with her, but he was really hoping that she had moved on.
The next one is the Hispanic superhero that he knew well with the scarab attached into his back. "Hi. My name is Jaime Reyes. I'm known as Blue Beetle. I'm Hispanic, esse. The scarab behind my back is my power. I can turn it on by my will and let me tell you it takes a while to get used to with him."
Suddenly, Jaime started laughing for absolutely no apparent reason. From the look of it, it looked like the scarab was... tickling him.
"Stop! Stop!" Jaime said. "Okay, I'm sorry!"
The tickling stopped as everyone only stared at him weird. Jaime was trying as hard as possible to get himself back up to speed, breathing rather heavily. Wally himself giggled on that thought alone, with everyone following him later.
The final two Titans were coming. Conner stood up from his seat and began his introductions. His Superboy outfit is no different: Black shirt with red Superman logo with blue jeans. Nothing much.
"I'm Conner Kent, AKA Superboy." He said. "Let's just say that us Kryptonians and humans had a really bad history, but I have chosen my side. I still have some daddy issues up my butt. Other than that, I'm good. That's all."
Classic Superboy. He always was the brooding loner jerk. No wonder he was Tim's best friend.
And finally, Mia Queen. Mia Queen had a long black hair strolling all the way to her upper shoulder. She wore a black undershirt and a yellow-colored arrowhead logo. The others wore very standard superhero outfits. Robin seems to have a little bit more color to him, though.
"Hi." Mia said, standing up. "My name is Mia Queen AKA Speedy. Just like Tim and Damian here, I'm the relative of a billionaire who happens to be Oliver Queen AKA Green Arrow. I didn't know that my brother is a Star City vigilante until years ago. And yeah just like Superboy, I had some bad bloods too. It turns out that I was the daughter of the Star City psychopath Malcolm Merlyn. When I have brother issues with Ollie, I went to him and he trained me. It turns out that he wasn't all entirely crazy. He's a maniac. So I left him. Then I found a purpose here in the Titans. I save peoples and save the world, and I totally love every moment of it, the good and the bad. Thank you so much, guys."
In Wally's eyes, she seemed like a very interesting parallel to Artemis. She acted like Artemis. She made smug faces like Artemis. She had bad bloods like Artemis. She had some horrible past like Artemis. She shot arrows too for god's sake.
"Now Wally," Damian turned his attention towards him. "It's time for you to introduce yourself."
"Right." Wally said, standing up. "My name is Wally West AKA Kid Flash. I'm a speedster like my uncle Barry Allen. I came from another universe very different than yours. In my universe, we have some sort of a Titans team, just not really called the Titans. It has Dick Grayson as Robin, my best friend forever, Aqualad, Conner, Megan, me, and finally Artemis, the archer on my team and my girlfriend."
The room was silent. Everyone kept their stare towards the kid that popped out of nowhere. Wally didn't have his KF outfit, however. He only had his red hair and a grey hoodie with white T-Shirt property of Tim's.
"There's a horrible war in my universe." Wally began. "We were fighting an alien force called the Reach. It's not like your General Zod or something like that. We had an entire team of supervillains against our asses. If there's one thing I wanted to say about that, it's the worst thing that can happen. We have peoples and superheroes dying here and there, and I can't do anything to save them."
Still, everyone stared at him with silent death stares, dark and depressing.
"If there's one thing that I learned from my last experience is that I'm not going to let the loss of my friends to put me down." Wally said. "I'm still going to fight. I know I'm weaker. I know I'm not strong enough, but I'm going to do anything that I can to save my favorite planet. I know you'd do the same too. I don't know how I'm going to travel back to my universe, but at least I'm not in some sort of an apocalyptic world or something."
Damian smiled. "We're all counting on you, Kid-Flash. You're going to be a great help. Consider yourself a member of the Titans."
He moved towards Wally to hand him over and wear him the Titans watch, a black-colored, elegantly designed communication device required for all the Titans to wear. It may look like a cheap KORD-tech made watch, but it was supposed to look that way for concealment.
Wally smiled. He glanced at the watch a few times before giving his gratitude. "Thanks, Robin."
Suddenly, everyone's watches rang. The room that was dark and comforting blue now turned into red bright red flashes.
"What's going on?" Wally asked.
"Trouble."

"There is a bank robbery somewhere in Star City." The voice of Dick Grayson came out of the speakers. "It's not a big deal when you see it at first, but he got a giant crocodile, a guy with a freeze gun, a guy with a pyro gun, and a giant Gorilla. The guy with the freeze gun is identified as Leonard Snart. The guy with the pyro gun is identified as Mick Rory."
"Killer Croc, Captain Cold, Heat Wave, and Grodd." KF said. "No big deals."
"You know these guys?" Robin asked.
"They're from my universe too." KF said.
Surprisingly, Dick Grayson wasn't really a superhero this time. He was a superhero. He was Nightwing, but ever since his marriage with former Batgirl Barbara Gordon, he needed a family to focus on. So he worked as an honest detective from that point on to get some money and live independently. Although from what he heard from Tim, he really missed the good old days.
"Right." Dick said. "Whatever kind of cute nicknames you're giving, they're trouble. So get there before they cause further chaos."
"We got it. We'll deal with this." Robin said, closing the transmission. "In a scale of one to ten, how hard do you think these guys are?"
"Around five or six." KF replied.
"Then we're going for a short team." Robin said. "Speedy, we're going to deal with the cryo and pyro guys. Superboy, try to handle the giant gorilla. Beast Boy, get Killer Croc. The rest, follow in the back and make sure that the civilians are well defended. Understand?"
"Roger!" Everyone replied with Wally trying as hard as he could to follow. He really wasn't used to with this team.
"Good." Robin said. "Titans, Go!"

A/N: Ah... classic Teen Titans line. Always missed it.
Anyway, I would post one chapter at a time and if it's too long, I'll try to make it less than 3000 words.
