The next morning, the seven Titans woke up, rubbed their eyes and did various morning activities that people do when they go camping. When they were getting ready to go, a strange imp suddenly appeared. There was a moment of silence before the imp said "Hello! My name is Psyte!"

"Yes, I know. You don't have to repeat that.", Blue Beetle whispered to the scarab.

"Well, Psyte, I have some questions for you. What are you doing here, why are you talking to us, what are you, are you the person who's been watching us, and who is the Phantom Stranger?", The Fierce Flame asked in the space of a few seconds.

"To answer your questions: Talking to you, to kick off this story arc, an imp from the fifth dimension, yes, and I don't think even he knows what he is.", Psyte replied.

"Wait, what's that about a story arc?", Captain Marvel asked.

"Well, your team's been around for a few issues, but hasn't even had a minor story arc yet. I think that it's now time to start the first one.", Psyte snapped his fingers and dissolved into nothing. The team members all fell on the ground.


I realize that this is an extremely short chapter, but I felt that Titans Trials needed an intro, and this was the only way I could figure out to do it without breaking up the planned storyline. The character Psyte popped into my head around a week ago. This storyline originally used Martian Manhunter, but I could find no reason for him to spring this on the Titans.
