Teen Titans: Multiverse's Greatest Heroes?

Chapter 6 Trials of the Panther

Hello everyone. We're almost there! The Mid-Season Finale/Crossover is getting really close! I'm excited to present to you all Chapter 6 of Teen Titans! Remember to Rate and Review! Enjoy!

Inside a vast and bushy African jungle, a loud and horrifying scream cut through the dense and thick fog that covered the jungle's surface.

A group of four men, who all had on Church of Natural Divine Light suits on ran through the jungle, with several clawings and cuts all over their bodies. Out of the four men, only one had on a Noah 3 silver watch on, which barely seemed to be shining in the dark.

"RUN! RUN! RUUUN!" One man in the back yelled as the four continued to run throughout the vast jungle area. As the man in the back tried to catch up to his three other companions, a loud roar filled the air, and the bushes next to the man ruffled, and a large panther leaped through the bushes and latched its claws into the man's chest. The panther drove its claws down into the man's chest and its fangs into the man's face.

The other three Natural Divine agents did not even take the time to look back at their fallen comrade. They continued to run for their lives. Behind them, a rain of arrows, with purple/black Vibranium tips, began to fall onto the Divine Light Agents, as they continued to run for their lives.

The leading Divine Light agent, who had the only Noah 3 watch, lifted his hand over his head, and a weak and slightly glowing orange energy shield appeared over his head. He continued to run at full speed, while a woman agent struggled to stay under the protective shield.

However, the final agent tried to reach the protective shield but the first of many Vibranium arrows pierced his lift leg and he fell to the ground. After he hit the ground, however, many of the other Vibranium arrows began flying into his back and his head and blood surged out of his many wounds.

The woman looked back in horror at her killed comrade, but the leading agent continued running, forgetting completely about his two dead comrade and his soon to be killed companion.

The man hopped over a small ditch in the ground, and the woman stumbled over the ditch, but continued behind the man. However, the man unknowingly stepped onto a trip wire and he tripped forward. Just as the woman came to a stop behind her, a large tree trunk swung forward and slammed into the woman's chest.

The woman was sent flying backwards into a tree, which had several large spearheads sticking outside of it. The woman was impaled in several places, and took her final breathes looking at the final man in horror.

The man shook his head and tried to get up, but then a silver arrow flew into his leg and he screamed in pain.

The man fell on his face and grabbed at his leg, but then another arrow flew through his other leg's knee. The man cried out in agony, and then began trying to crawl away from the scene.

As the man crawled another foot, he looked forward to see a large black panther walk out of the shadows of the dark jungle. The creature's yellow eyes glared at the man, who whimpered in fear and then tried to touch his watch, but then he heard a deep African voice say, "Your weapon will not work here. Our securities have been upgraded especially for Giglomaniacs and those who wield Noah 3 weapons."

The man looked in horror, as out of the darkness walked the teenage King of Wakanda, Azari. However, Azari was once again in his Panther uniform he wore to fight against Saeko.

Azari glared down at the man, who whimpered, "I swear, I will never speak of what happened. I won't tell anyone that you're here-"

"Wakanda's location is not what I seek to protect, scum." Azari said, as his Black Panther mask's eyes had a faint white glow in the darkness. Azari took a step forward and then leaned down to the weakened man, "Where is my Vibranium?"

The man tried not to look Azari in his eyes, so Azari grabbed him by his cheeks while his Vibranium claws were extended and his claws were drove into the man's cheeks. The man tried to scream, but this just made Azari squeeze harder.

The man then whimpered something, and Azari let go. The man then said, as blood flowed from his mouth and from his face, "I don't know, man. We weren't able to get anymore Vibranium from this run-"

"You have stolen more Vibranium before. I am sure of it." Azari growled, then extended his Vibranium claws again and drove them into the man's back and they dug into his spine. The man screamed in pain, and Azari growled, "I have all day. And as the Black Panther, I have been trained in the ways of a warrior and in the ways of a tormentor. I can do things to you that you do not wish to imagine. Tell me, now. Or you will wish you were dead."

The man looked into the eyes of Azari's Panther Mask, then Azari clicked a button on his belt, adn the Panther Mask went into the suit and Azari leaned forward and whispered into the man's ear, "I do not ask questions. And I do not repeat myself."

The man then whimpered, "Okay...there's going to be a massive weapon's sell on the Coast of Africa. The Church, they will be selling most of your Vibranium there. That's all I know. You have to believe me."

Azari then nodded, "I believe you." Azari then stood and nodded into the darkness. His sister then walked out of the darkness and nodded to him. The man then cried out, "Wait! Wait! I told you! I told you! Let me go! You-"

Azari then turned and glared at the man, "I did not promise to spare your pointless life, you worthless pawn. This is my nation, my kingdom, and I am the law. And my law says that stealing is punishable by death."

His sister then nodded to Azari and turned towards the man. Azari's sister, Shiiri knelled down and drove her knee into the man's throat. The man struggled for several minutes. However, Azari continued walking into the darkness, and the jungle seemed to fall silent after a few more moments of wheezing for air and hopeless attempts to survive.

Azari then tapped the earpiece of his mask and said, "Prepare my jet. I am going to Metropolis."

Takumi opened the doors of the Mably Hotel, with a pink raincoat over his body, and his suitcase in his hands, covered in a plastic wrap, to keep it dry. Takumi looked back outside to see a massive storm pour down on the city.

Takumi looked at his watch and saw he was late to check in. Takumi looked around at the five-star hotel, and then he smiled, "This place is amazing."

Several maids walked passed him, with butlers on their heels. Takumi had sworn that he had saw several celebrities walk by him, and Takumi looked in awe at this amazing hotel.

Takumi looked at the card Peter had given him, and then he gulped, "I hope that idiot gave me the right address."

"Takumi?" Takumi heard in front of him, and he jerked his head up, and saw Moka wearing a casual outfit, with a red and black t-shirt, and a pair of blue jeans.

Takumi smiled, and then laughed, "This is the first time I've seen you in…you know, civilian clothes." Takumi then pulled off his raincoat, then Moka smirked at Takumi's black and yellow Batman shirt, and jeans, "You're looking pretty hot, yourself."

Takumi smirked, "Don't let Superboy hear you say that."

Moka then narrowed her eyes at him, "What does Superboy have to do with me, boy?"

"Mr. Nishigou? Ms. Shuzen?" A maid nodded to both of them, "Are you two just arriving?"

Moka nodded, "Yes. But my baggage has been moved to my room." Takumi looked at his one bag and laughed, "All of my cool stuff is probably on the other side of the universe."

"What?" The maid asked, then Takumi shook his head, "Superhero business."

The maid then nervously laughed it off, "Haha…all righty. You two just need to check in at the front desk. You'll get your respective room keys."

Both Takumi and Moka started walking towards the front desk, and the woman with blue hair saw them starting toward the desk, and then pulled up a walkie talkie. Moka then heard her say, "Tell Ms. Mably, they're here."

Moka looked at Takumi, and then nodded, "I'm guessing we're the last ones here. Fashionable late, I guess?"

"Late?" Takumi nodded, "I saved the world, I don't get to be late once?"

Takumi and Moka made it to the front desk, and the woman smiled, "Hello, Ms. Shuzen, and Mr. Nishigou."

Takumi nodded, "Hello. I like your hair."

The girl blushed and ran her fingers through her hair, and then she smiled back at Takumi, "I like your hair too, Mr. Nishigou." Takumi then leaned on the desk, "Please, call me Takumi."

"Alrighty, Takumi." The woman laughed and leaned forward. Moka looked around, "So, can I get my room key?" The woman handed it to Moka, and then Takumi laughed, "Take a long look at my key, what time do you get off?"

"Think with your head with a brain in it." Moka growled, and then Takumi sighed, "Don't mess with the flow. I'm looking for a girl with blue hair to be in my harem."

"Life goals." Takumi and Moka heard behind them, and they saw Elizabeth Mably walking through the room, with an elegant white dress, that was fitted for a queen, and left much to the imagination, only revealing the four stigmata in her back.

"Oh yeah." Takumi nodded to the beautiful young woman, and she seem to float over to the two. Takumi took her hand and kissed it, and then Moka nudged him, "What would Rimi think, hot boy?"

Moka then shook Elizabeth's hand, "Ms. Mably. In case no one else on the team has said so, Thank you for allowing us to stay here until we can finish repairing the mansion."

Elizabeth smiled, "Spiderman and Mr. Tennyson expressed their gratitude. And, as I told them, I'm just here representing my father and the corporation. My father isn't good with talking to…younger people like us. So, I took a little trip from West Genetics to introduce the Teen Titans to a little Mably hospitality."

"We're very happy to accept." Moka nodded, and then Elizabeth giggled, with her hand over her mouth, "Anyways, I wanted to properly see off a fellow comrade of mine."

"Satellizer, am I correct? You two attended the same school." Moka nodded, and Elizabeth smiled, "We did…do? Does she plan on coming back when she's done saving the world with you guys?"

Takumi then yawned, "This is all boring talk." Takumi then smiled his new and somewhat attractive daring smile, and Moka's face turned from pale to red as she heard what Takumi asked.

Takumi smiled at Elizabeth and said, "So. What are you doing later? Got any free time for dinner? A movie? I could give you a tour of the room you're giving me."

Elizabeth then smirked at Takumi, and then looked behind him, and laughed, "Andre? Do I have anything to do later?"

Takumi and Moka turned to see a tall and well-composed young man, with a cunning but gentle facial expression and wavy hair tied into a small ponytail. He was wearing a black suit, with a red bow tie. This boy was Andre Francoise.

Andre smiled at Elizabeth, then he nodded, "Oh course, I was taking you to dinner."

Takumi heard this and then whispered, "Damn. She's taken." Moka nodded and shook the young man's hand, "Nice to meet you, I'm Moka."

Andre shook her hand, "I've heard a lot about you, from Elizabeth. She tell me that you're a vampire. Do you truly sparkle in the sun?"

Moka winched and then growled, "I hate that book series." Moka then calmed her demeanor, and then sighed, "How did you even find out that about me, Ms. Mably?"

Elizabeth smiled and closed her eyes, "I've read all of your files, that Spiderman has entrusted to the Mably Corporation. We needed to make sure it was safe to keep you in our hotel. This is quite the risk we're taking, Ms. Shuzen."

Moka nodded at her, "I can understand that."

Andre put his hand out to Takumi, and Takumi looked at it, then thought, 'How rude would it be to freeze time, and then just disappear?' Takumi grabbed Andre and shook his hand. Takumi then laughed, "Well, the saying is true. The good ones are always taken. But they usually pick nice guys or complete asses. Which are you?"

Andre laughed at Takumi sheer bluntness, and then he narrowed his eyes at Takumi, "I like to think I'm a nice guy. But that is something I think only Elly can tell you."

"Elly?" Takumi looked at Elizabeth, who blushed at what Andre said, "You have a cute little nickname like Elly?" Takumi nodded to Andre, "You're one lucky man."

Andre smiled back, "I know."

Moka rolled her eyes, "Don't be such an idiot, Takumi." Moka then looked at Elizabeth, "So, are we the last to come in?"

Elizabeth then smiled, "Oh course not. I'm waiting on the arrival of Static. I wanted to…personally greet him."

Takumi heard this, and then he immediately thought, 'Is this woman into the dark chocolate?!'

Moka then raised an eyebrow, "What? Are you a fan?"

"Something like that." Elizabeth said, "I've just had this itch about him, that I can't scratch."

"He's just a normal nerdy guy, honestly." Takumi nodded, and then he smiled, "And he's a pretty chill guy, when you just sit around and hang with him."

Moka nodded, "He's the perfect gentleman, actually. Your…friend, Andre, reminds me a lot of him, actually."

"It's Spiderman!" A little girl said, pointing at the elevator, and Moka turned and growled, "What the hell?"

Spiderman walked off the elevator, only wearing his mask, a red Hawaiian shirt, and brown shorts, with matching brown flip flops. Next to him, stood Satellizer, who was wearing a black and red Superman T-shirt, black pants, and red and black shoes.

Spiderman walked off the elevator, and Satellizer followed, growling, "You look like an idiot."

"Some might say the same about you." Spiderman nodded, "You're a complete fan girl."

Satellizer growled, "I don't care if kids are around, Spiderman. I'll impale you with my….Elizabeth?" Satellizer stood looking in shock at Elizabeth, who smiled and waved Satellizer and Spiderman over to the group.

"You're Elizabeth? That's not very threatening. When Static gets here, you need to get him with you, so you two can talk about improving your comebacks."

Satellizer moved him aside, and then asked Elizabeth, "What are YOU doing here?"

Takumi shrugged and laughed, "Are you stupid, Satellizer? This is her hotel."

"This is my father's hotel." Elizabeth smiled, and then she looked at Satellizer, "And I wanted to see you off, comrade."

Satellizer then said, "Or, were you intending on looking in on my team's roster?"

"What?" Moka asked, and looked at Elizabeth with a raised eyebrow, and asked, "What's she talking about?"

Elizabeth shook her head, "Satellizer, I think you're just paranoid. Can I not just be here to see the Teen Titans, and you?"

Spiderman noticed the stigmata in her back, and then nodded, "You're a Pandora?"

"That, I am." Elizabeth smiled, "And, I couldn't be more honored to be so." Elizabeth nodded to Satellizer, "I'm not looking for the answers I was once looking for, Satellizer. It's none of my business. Your team…will do what you all do. It's none of my-"

A boom of thunder rung outside, as the doors swung opened, and Virgil ran in, with a rolling suitcase, and two sling bags on his arms. Virgil was covered in water, and he looked completely miserable.

Takumi then pointed at Virgil, and laughed, "Oh my GOD! Have you guys seem any memes with a dead fish? That's what he looks like!"

Moka then elbowed him in the side, "Don't talk about him like that."

Spiderman then laughed, "Nah. Takumi's right. I'm going to drop like a hundred dead fish puns on him now."

Virgil looked around, and saw the same group, and at first didn't recognize Elizabeth, but quickly saw her, and smiled, "Ms. Mably?"

Virgil walked over, and nearly tripped on his showlaces, and fell over, but Satellizer and Moka caught him. Moka then nodded, "Don't be such a clutz, Vi…young man." Moka quickly connected the dots with how Elizabeth and several others watched the young heroes.

Satellizer realized that Virgil was leaning on her, and then she felt her uncomfortable feeling rise, but then felt them be compressed, and she thought, 'What is wrong with me? This isn't right?'

Satellizer helped Virgil stand straight, then Elizabeth smiled at Virgil, "Look at you, Mr. Hawkins. You've got two beautiful women at your side. They say, all good things come to those who wait."

Virgil laughed and rubbed the back of his neck, and Moka nudged him, "Don't get any ideas, okay?"

Virgil laughed and then Elizabeth waved Andre over to her side, "Andre. This is Virgil Hawkins. I met him after Satellizer won her latest carnival."

Andre shook Virgil's hand, "I'm Andre."

"Virgil. Nice to meet you."

"Ditto."

Elizabeth then smiled, "So, Virgil. May I ask who has granted you to come and grace me with your presence?"

Virgil then rubbed his neck, and then he looked at his normal street clothes, and then nodded, "Star Labs is paying for me to stay here. I'm interning at the Metropolis Star Labs."

"Really?" Elizabeth asked then smiled, "Of course you are, Mr. Future Scientist."

Spiderman then nudged him, "Have you meet Peter Parker? He's the newest-"

"Successor to Tony Stark." Satellizer, Moka, and Takumi said in sync and annoyance. Takumi then growled, "We've been told over a hundred times. Don't tell us again, you butt hole."

Elizabeth then laughed, "Well, I'm glad you're here." Elizabeth walked over to the desk with the soaked Virgil, and Elizabeth continued to pry at Virgil, while the Titans and Andre stood aside.

"He's such a dewb." Takumi laughed, and then Andre asked, "Do you know him?"

"Of course." Takumi laughed, then Spiderman pointed at his mask, behind Andre's back, and Moka and Satellizer bucked their eyes at Takumi. Takumi then rubbed the back of his neck and awkwardly continued, "Not. Of course I don't know him. I'm from Tokyo, Japan."

Andre nodded and also laughed awkwardly.

Elizabeth got Virgil's room key, and then smirked, "Virgil. We have a slight problem."

"What is it?" Virgil gulped, and then Elizabeth sighed, "The Teen Titans, you know them, right?"

Virgil nodded, and Elizabeth continued, "They've been granted the entire 8th floor for the next week. And this room key is to the 8th floor. I'm not sure they would be comfortable with a normal civilian on their floor, when I'm sure they'll be having important superhero meetings."

Virgil thought about it, then he sighed, "I guess you're right. I'll…have to change."

"Well." Elizabeth smiled, "You can always stay in the jointed rooms that Andre and I will be in. Andre and I sleep in the same bed, and you can just have the room on the other side of the door."

Virgil thought about it, then Satellizer and Moka walked over to the two, and Satellizer asked, "Is there a problem?"

Elizabeth smiled at the two, "I was just telling Mr. Hawkins about how the 8th floor that he has been listed on is rented to your team, and how I'll have to move him-"

"He can stay." Satellizer said, and Elizabeth was taken aback by Satellizer sheer forcefulness. Elizabeth then heard Moka say, "I agree. We have tons of rooms on the floor. Mr. Hawkins, would this be okay with you?"

Virgil smiled, and then nodded, "Of course."

Elizabeth then smiled, "Well, thank you, Titans. Glad to see that you all can play along with others."

Elizabeth then stopped Satellizer and Virgil, and then smiled at the two, "Virgil, Satellizer. I need to talk to you two."

"You do?" Virgil asked, then two maids walked by, and asked, "Mr. Hawkins? Can we take your bags?"

Virgil then nodded, and blushed, "Of course, ma'am's. Thank you, both."

The ladies took his bags, and Satellizer narrowed her eyes at Elizabeth, and Elizabeth returned the cold look with a warm smile. "I want you two to start being honest with me. Alright?"

Virgil blinked in confusion, "What do you mean?"

Elizabeth then nodded, "Are you two…thinking about pairing up?"

"WHAT?!" Satellizer's face then became red, and Virgil looked at Elizabeth in confusion, "You mean…like as a Pandora and a Limiter?"

Elizabeth then put on a serious face, "I don't care about what you two do in the dark. I don't care about what faces you two use as your masks. I just care about unity. You're my little sister, Satellizer. It's my responsibility to guide you-"

"I don't need anyone to guide me." Satellizer poked Elizabeth in the chest, and then Virgil sighed, "Pairing up…means that both parties trust one another. It means both parties are willing to come out and be honest with one another. There must be harmony…trust, loyalty, and most of all, love. You can't force something to arise, if it is not there."

Elizabeth looked at Virgil in interest of his traditional tone, and Satellizer blushed at what Virgil had said, thinking, 'Is that how Virgil feels about me?'

Elizabeth then waved off Satellizer, "Okay. Well, now that just leaves me with one personal question."

Satellizer then looked at Virgil, and then Virgil nodded, "I think she was waving you off." Satellizer blushed, then turned away, giving both of the teens the cold shoulder, "Fine. I don't need this."

Elizabeth frowned at her, then Virgil looked at the Titans, "I'll be right upstairs, guys." Spiderman looked around, and played it off, "Oh, do you mean us, citizen?"

"Enough games." Virgil said seriously, and then Moka nodded to him, "Alright. Let's go."

Virgil looked at Elizabeth, and asked, "When did you find out? And who did you pay to find the information on me?"

Elizabeth blushed, as the Titans piled on an elevator, with Satellizer in the back, thinking, 'Have I been treating him wrong? Why do I feel like I should be nicer to him…when I'm…me?'

Elizabeth then whispered, "Come with me." Elizabeth and Virgil walked over into a café, and Elizabeth sat down, and directed Virgil to sit, and Virgil nodded, "I'm wet. I'm not in the sitting mood. Now, answers."

Elizabeth sighed, "Did you not think I could find out your identity on my own? That's very hurtful."

Virgil nodded, "My identity is nothing to joke about, Ms. Mably. I'm not a Pandora. What I do…is for my own personal reasons. So, what do you want? Are you planning on blackmailing me?"

Elizabeth shook her head, "Nothing like that, Virgil. And call me, Elizabeth. I discovered your identity, after I found out that Satellizer was the Pandora sent to Dakota City. Then after finding you being the boy who was with her while she was there, and how Static showed up, coming out of the bathroom, that you ran into when a crab-like robot alien attacked the lab. Then I started cross-referencing different events with Static-related appearances, and after I found you and Static in Africa, teaming up that spider guy, I confirmed my suspensions."

"Why did you want to find my identity?" Virgil asked, as a maid walked by, and he looked cautiously around, and Elizabeth lend forward, "I just wanted to thank the hero that protected Satellizer. I know she's a handful. Trust me, she broke my arm and several of my ribs. She's hard to deal with, but you still helped her."

Virgil then nodded, "The real reason, Ms…Elizabeth. I'm tired, and miserable."

Elizabeth then nodded, "My father, was working with a local engineer here named John Henry Irons. He's a technical and mechanical genius. He's been working on something really interesting. But we needed someone to overlook it. Someone with advanced experience with working with complex technology. I need you, Virgil Hawkins. To be a third opinion."

"Third?" Virgil raised an eyebrow, "Who's the second?"

Elizabeth nodded, "He's a rising star, and king of his own little area of Japan. Not much is known about him, but he is said to be quite intelligent. My father found him, and is looking for his head. He's some super genius. If you'd like, I can call him down stairs, so you two can meet."

"I'll pass." Virgil nodded, "Why do you need me, again?"

Elizabeth then looked at him and her serious demeanor overcame the room, "Do you care for Satellizer?" Virgil blinked in confusion, and then shook his head, "What?"

"Do you care about Kaho?" Elizabeth continued, and then Virgil shook his head, "Kaho? Why are you asking me these questions? Of course I care about both of them?! I like them…as people. And as friends."

Elizabeth then nodded, "I guess we'll just stick with that, for now. Well, Gengo and the Chevalier are having a miniature war on how we should continue to combat the Nova and any other forces that rise to destroy the world. There are two sides to this war, Virgil. Hardware, and Software."

Virgil, then sat down, and leaned forward, interested now, "What do you mean?"

"I mean." Elizabeth leaned forward, "Dr. Gengo, and some of the Chevalier members believe we should be finding new ways to enhance Pandora's abilities through physical enhancements, stimulates, and drugs. However, my father and some of the Chevalier members believe we should be focusing on ways to enhance Pandora's abilities through technological enhancements, that will not permanently affect the Pandora' s body. We need…help. Apparently, Dr. Gengo has something cooking up in Alaska, and we don't have anything that is ready for display. This is a very secret topic. And, you're good at keeping secrets, and you have something personal in the ring. My father's second opinion has been said to be very cold and calculating, so I'm not sure if I trust him with my life, but I can trust you, Virgil."

"Why is that?" Virgil asked, then Elizabeth nodded, as if the answer was obvious, "Because, you protected Satellizer, with your life. And you didn't even know her. There's a lot that will be riding on this project. Will you help us?"

Virgil frowned at Elizabeth, and then he sighed, "I don't know." Virgil then looked up at the bar, and his eyes widened when he saw Azari standing at the bar, looking right at him and Elizabeth.

Virgil then pointed at Azari, "Is that the boy your father called in?" Elizabeth turned and saw Azari, and raised an eyebrow, "No. My father said he was Japanese."

Virgil then stood, and nodded to Azari, and Azari turned and started moving towards him, and Virgil nodded to Elizabeth, "I'm sure you can find out my phone number, so just call me when you're ready for my…opinion."

Elizabeth then heard Azari say behind her, "Whatever it is, you will need to wait a day or two. I will be utilizing Virgil's services."

"Lets go." Virgil said, and then waved to Elizabeth, "And next time, Ms. Mably. Don't be so cryptic. Some people don't response well to that."

As Virgil and Azari walked towards the elevator, out of the café, the doors opened revealing a handsome, young man with black hair and violet eyes. He seemed somewhat scrawny and thin, but he was also considerably tall. He had on a formal black suit, with gold engraved all over it. The boy locked eyes with Virgil and Azari, and then he smirked, "Well, it seems like this place might fall apart overnight."

"Pardon me?" Azari asked, as the boy walked passed them, and the boy stopped and turned, "I've already ran into Parker."

"Who?" Virgil asked, and then the boy turned back, "I'm Lelouch. I can't wait to begin to work with you, Hawkins. Let's hope that electric physics knowledge you have comes in use."

"Lelouch?" Virgil asked, "What kind of name is that?"

"The name of a king." Azari nodded, "You are Lelouch vi Britannia, are you not?"

"I am." Lelouch turned and smiled, "You are Azari, King of Wakanda. Also, the 4th smartest teenager on the planet. The Wakandan Vibranium King." Lelouch directed his head towards Virgil, "Virgil Hawkins of Dakota City, 6th smartest teenager on the planet. The Lightning Streak. Don't sell yourself short. I don't like anyone who does."

Virgil blinked at him in confusion, "The 6th? I'm honored, but I'm not really that gr-"

"Parker is only 5th because he is on the same plane as Reed Richards was when he was his age. But he deserves the title as the 'Ticker'…he did build the newest Spider Armor." Lelouch and then he turned back and continued walking, and Virgil called out to him, "What are you, then, weird guy?"

Lelouch stopped in his tracks, then he turned and nodded, "Lelouch vi Britannia. 2nd smartest teenager on the planet. The Black Prince."

Lelouch continued to walk, and then turned into the café, and then Virgil growled, "So, am I suppose to know who he was? Or how he knew my identity, or Parker's? And why I'm ranked as the 6th smartest teenager in the world?"

Azari then tapped Virgil on the shoulder, as they entered the elevator, "You sell yourself too short."

---

"What is he doing here?" Superboy asked, pointing at Azari, as he and Virgil entered into the lounge that the team had to themselves.

Virgil, had quickly changed into something dry, so he seemed a bit more at ease. Peter, who had his mask off now, nodded, "He's here to finally explain why he needs us to go to Africa."

"He's been missing in action for passed 2 days." Saeko nodded, and Mirajane growled, "Then he just jumps from nowhere, and thinks we're his booty call. We can't just fly off anywhere he aims us. We're not just a random gun."

Ben sighed, "I hope it's fast. I'm going to have to go to the Plumber base in Bellwood tomorrow. My Grandpa needs me to watch over some alien negotiation or something."

"Really?" Mirajane asked, interested in Ben's schedule tomorrow, "Are you doing it alone?"

"Pretty much." Ben nodded, and Moka nudged Mirajane, "You should ask if you can go. You might get to learn something new about Ben and his aliens."

Mirajane thought about it, then she waved off the idea, "Nah. I'll let the guy get some peace and quiet."

Moka then pointed to Azari, "I'll need us to get this done, before or after tomorrow, as well. I'm flying out to Japan, with Rias and her peerage. I'm seeing them off, like they did for me."

Superboy raised an eyebrow, "You're going alone?"

Moka laughed, "I'm not going to be alone. Rias is going to be there, and so is her peerage."

Superboy then thought about it then he nodded, "Yeah. You're right. Dumb thought."

"Here's the real question of the night." Virgil pointed at Peter, "Why did this guy, named Lelouch, know our secret identities?!"

Superboy looked at Virgil, and then asked, "What? How does he know our identities?"

"Not yours." Virgil waved Superboy off, and directed himself back at Peter, "He knew that you were Spiderman. And that I was Static. He knew Azari. He said that Azari was the 4th smartest teenager on Earth, you were 5th, and I was 6th."

"6th?" Satellizer asked interested, then she turned away, remembering she was still angry at him. Virgil then nodded to Peter, who rubbed his chin, "I haven't heard of him, before."

"He's a young tactical genius, who's liberated a part of Japan, that was ruled by a massive dictatorship. He's became a powerful king, and he deserves the title of 2nd smartest teenager on the planet." Azari nodded, "He's most likely discovered the secret identities of everyone on the team."

"What?" Satellizer said, and stood, "When were you going to tell us this, you dick?"

Takumi nodded, "Yeah, I would have like to be informed of someone like this."

Azari then narrowed his eyes, "I will happily inform you all of the top ten smartest teenagers on our planet, but after you help me. And we must leave now."

"NOW?" Peter pointed at him, "We just settled in here, and it's like 6 p.m. We need to get ready for the dinner that Elizabeth is going to personally be bring up here."

Virgil then heard that, then he nodded, "Actually, if she's bringing the food, I'll pass. Let's go."

Moka looked at Azari, then asked, "Where are we going, then? We need a game plan, and we need to know everything that is going on."

Azari then nodded, "Vibranium and several other weapons from Wakanda have been going missing. Stolen, most likely. I've tracked it down to an island on the coast of Africa. There will be a weapons sale, going on in less than 2 hours. There will be several criminal organizations there, not limited to AIM, Hydra, and the Church of Natural Divine Light."

"What?!" Takumi stood, "What the hell is the Church of Natural Divine Light doing trying to buy Vibranium?"

"I do not know, but whatever the reason," Peter nodded, "I don't like it. Team, suit up. We're leaving."

"And dinner?" Superboy asked, who was already in his suit, and Peter rolled his eyes, "Why don't you just call her, and tell her yourself, buddy?"

Everyone then started to move around, and then Azari said, "The jet is parked on the roof."

"The roof?" Takumi laughed, as his normal attire was changed into a black chain mail, with a long black cloak, with a pink glowing symbol on the back of it.

Satellizer grabbed Virgil, as he walked out of the lounge and pulled him aside, "We need to talk."

"Honestly." Virgil growled, "I'm getting tired of blonde Pandora trying to boss me around."

Satellizer blushed, "No, that's not what I meant. Virgil. I'm not a very open person. I…usually try to keep to myself. I don't want you to take…what I do personally. I mean, the things I don't do personally. If you get what I mean."

Virgil shook his head in confusion, and then he started to walk off, "Satellizer. Please, talk to me later. I'm not picking up what you're saying, mainly because I've been drenched in freezing water. And then I've had some serious stuff sprung on me. And now, you're trying to open up to me, but half-heartedly. That isn't fair, Satellizer."

Satellizer narrowed her eyes at Virgil, "Life isn't fair, Virgil. But I'm not your mom, I shouldn't have to tell you that. You should know that, yourself."

Virgil then nodded, "Well, maybe you should find some guy at Genetics, who will run around at your heels, and be your love slave. But, if we have anything more than a mutual partnership, then we need to be opened with each other."

"Anything more that a mutual partnership?" Satellizer asked, then she growled, "I didn't want anything more than a mutual partnership. You're the one who wanted to be friends. I've been dealing with you, these past few days. Not the other way around."

Virgil and Satellizer both looked at each other, then Satellizer sighed, "Don't get me wrong. I'm not trying to be difficult. Maybe…we just need to sit down and talk about what's bothering us."

Virgil nodded, "That would be nice, if we ever get any free time. But…I think that would be nice."

Virgil then saw Satellizer turn from him, and he thought she was done with him, so he turned around and walked for his room. Satellizer then sighed, as a deep blush covered her face, "Listen…Virgil. I know that we've had a shaky…you know…thing. But I…want you to know, I've been thinking about what Elizabeth said. And when you're with me, I don't feel uncomfortable or alone. What…I'm really trying to say is…no matter what. I'm glad we met, and you're you."

Satellizer turned and grabbed what she thought to be Virgil's hand, but it turned out to Moka's hand. Satellizer blushed, and Moka gulped and raised an eyebrow, "So…imagine how awkward it would have been if I wasn't the person you were confessing your love to."

Satellizer gulped then whispered, "Please, don't tell anyone about this, Moka."

Moka then nodded, "Sure thing, darling."

Satellizer then whimpered, "No, I'm serious...I want to tell Virgil...how I feel-"

Moka then lifted a finger to Satellizer's lips, "I totally get you, girl. But you have to know this, if you continue to wait for the 'best time' then that time will never come."

Satellizer blushed and asked, "What do you mean?"

Moka then nodded, "Superboy is cute isn't he?" Satellizer rolled her eyes and said, "Of course you'd think that."

Moka then blushed and quickly asked, "What the hell does that mean?!" Satellizer then leaned forward and said, "It's obvious you like him."

Moka then leaned forward and growled, "It's definitely not as obvious as how you and Virgil like one another." Satellizer was about to fire back, but Moka then continued, "And don't you dare say, 'We don't like one another', because you do. You two look at each other like you're both lost in a paradise. You're no better than Superboy."

"Superboy?" Satellizer tilted her head at Moka, and Moka nodded, "Exactly. Superboy. He's a gentleman, and treats all the women on this team with respect, but there are times when I've caught him staring at me. I'm sure he's used his X-Ray vision on me before too."

"And you're okay with that?" Satellizer asked, and became flustered. Moka then smirked, "Not at all, I'd rather him just confess his love for me."

Satellizer then blinked and shook her head, "What would you tell him then?"

Moka then shrugged, "I don't know. Probably that I'm interested in him too. What can I say, even Vampires get lonely and seek special attention."

Satellizer then raised an eyebrow, "Sure. You like him as much as he like you." Moka's face then turned bright red, and she felt heat rise up in her face. Moka then turned and looked at Satellizer and then smirked, "Um...well...what the hell, of course I do. Have you seen him without a shirt on?!"

"There are 3 stories in the warehouse." Azari pointed at the holographic display of the warehouse that the Teen Titans were preparing to attack. The whole team either sat around or stood over a round table in the jet, with a hologram display table. Everyone had on their usual battle clothing on, besides Moka, who wore nothing more than a plain black t-shirt, with pants. "One the first floor, there will be a massive weapons sell. Nuclear arms, military grade weapons and even some advanced space age weaponry."

Saeko nodded, "So, this is a weapons sell?"

Azari then shook his head, "There is also…something of importance that I need from this…sell."

"What could you possibly need from a weapons sell?" Moka asked, then Static grimly said, "Vibranium." Static looked over at Azari, "You're using us to retrieve lost Vibranium."

"Stolen Viranium, Virgil." Azari corrected him, "And, this will benefit the Titans as much as it will benefit Wakanda-"

"We're not mercenaries, Azari." Ben nodded ,"We're superheroes. We don't get up and run to different countires to do other people's bidding for funding or money."

Azari then turned back and nodded, "You misunderstand me, Benjamin. I am aware that you are looking for the Church of Natural Divine Light."

"We are?" Satellizer asked, then Takumi leaned forward, "I am. They're a rogue organization behind the Japanese government, who were behind the Shibuya event. They built an artificial Giglomaniac machine, named Noah 2. They're bad people. What are they doing at this sell?"

"They are running the sell." Azari nodded, and then Spiderman nodded, "I'm aware of them. I've had run in with them, after we stopped Darkseid. This is something we need to put a stop to."

"Agreed." Takumi stood and nodded, "So, the weapon sell is on the first floor. What about the other two?"

Azari nodded, "Security will be watching over the sell on the second floor. This is where most of the armed guards and snipers will be. They will be watching for anything strange, and if ordered, they will shoot you down on the spot."

"This is insane." Spiderman leaned on the table, "No one told me Africa was this insane."

"What of the third floor?" Saeko asked, then Mirajane asked, "Let me guess, human experimentation?"

"Human trafficking." Azari said bluntly. The top floor is where slave trading is going on. This floor will most likely be covered with low-life thugs and business mogols that are looking for woman and children to fulfill their dark and twisted desires."

Azari then looked at the group, "We will have to hit the warehouse together, all at once."

"What did you have in mind?" Spiderman said, and then Ben nodded, "Should Saeko come up with the plan?"

Azari then nodded, "This is my country. I have come up with the most effective way of dealing with this threat. It is a four layered attack."

"Four layers?" Saeko asked, then nodded, "Go on." Spiderman whispered in Saeko's ear, "Listen carefully for any flaws in his plans. We need to have a Plan B on the side."

Azari then pointed at the first level, "Moka, Mirajane, Satellizer, and Ben, you are our Alpha squad. You all will arrive at the front door of the first floor. You all will be tasked with convincing them that you are there for the weapon's deal. After that, position yourselves on the floor, where you are comfortable. Wait until five minutes have passed, then begin to tear apart the floor, and take out as many threats as possible. Secure the Vibranium."

"And any other weapons that are there?" Satellizer asked, then Ben shook his head, "I'm pretty sure this guy is just worried about his Vibranium."

"Vibranium is dangerous in the wrong hands." Azari simply said to the group, "We brand anyone who would dare steal it from Wakanda's mountain. We must not let it fall into the wrong hands. If you wish to secure any of the other weapons, be my guest. But secure the Vibranium first."

"Why are we waiting five minutes?" Moka asked, then Azari nodded, and pointed at the second floor, "As soon as you go in, you will most likely be recognized by someone on the second floor. I will be there, and I will eliminate the guards on the second floor. I will be your Beta squad."

"Eliminate?" Superboy asked, "We don't kill people, Azari. If you work with us, you follow that rule as well."

Azari narrowed his eyes at Superboy, and then Spiderman nodded, "I agree. No killing. That goes for everyone."

Mirajane rolled her eyes, "I'm guessing he meant us, Saeko."

Saeko shrugged, "I wasn't planning on killing anyone."

Azari then pointed to the third floor, "Saeko. You will have to make your way to the third floor, and after Alpha has entered into the warehouse, you will free any of the captured slaves and hostages. Take down any of the warlords and criminals in there, as well. You are Gamma squad."

Saeko then nodded, and put a hand on Superboy's shoulder, "I take back what I said. I may drop a few bodies today, if they are scumbags that kidnap and capture women and children."

Static rubbed his chin, and looked up, "Where do we come into play?"

"Superboy, Static, Spiderman, Takumi. You are all going to act as Delta squad. As soon as Alpha squad started to attack the first level, you will move in to assist. It is critical that you do not be spotted, while the rest of us work."

"Great." Takumi sighed, "I'm on the sidelines."

Azari then looked at Saeko, "Do you see any holes or flaws in my plan, Ms. Busujima?"

Saeko smirked at Azari, "I don't, Azari. But one thing I've learned the two years being under Darkseid, is that plans don't always go accordingly."

Azari nodded, then turned away, "That is very much true. We will arrive soon. Be prepared."

---

"Right this way." A guard, standing outside of a massive 3 storied warehouse, said to a group of Hydra soldiers, and the two large doors opened behind him, and he allowed them to come in.

Satellizer, Moka, Mirajane, and Ben started walking towards the guard, and Moka nodded, "Don't say a word, Tennyson. I know you. Let me do all the talking."

Ben growled, "I'm good at winging stuff."

Satellizer shook her head, "I don't want to die today. So, how about you lose the jacket, Tennyson. And shut up."

Ben looked at his Ten Jacket, then he sighed, as he removed it, and growled, "It's hot anyways."

"It's Africa." Moka said, and the four stopped in front of the guard, who raised an eyebrow at the group, "What the hell? Teenagers? What are you guys suppose to be?"

Moka was about to say something, when Ben growled, "We're your worst nightmare."

The guard heard this, and turned and growled, "What the hell did you say to me, you little s**t?"

Ben then stood tall, but then Mirajane grabbed his arm, and yanked him back, "Enough, peasant."

Mirajane looked the man in the eyes, and growled, "Do you know who I am?"

"I don't know who you are, bitch. So what?" The guard growled, and Mirajane smiled, "Good, many actually don't. Because, if you don't work for me, you don't live. Now, please listen up, boy. I am Erza Scarlet. I'm immortal, so despite the young and beautiful look, I am thousands of years old. I'm here, looking for a nice little set of weapons, and you're in my way. You will move, or I will kill you, and everyone you care about, starting with your husband."

Moka, Satellizer, and Ben looked in awe, and then the guard gulped, "I'm…sorry Ms. Scarlet. Please, this way."

The doors opened, and then Mirajane snapped her fingers, "Come along, children."

Mirajane, Ben, Satellizer, and Moka walked into the warehouse, and started down a hallway, and then Satellizer asked, "Mirajane? What the hell was that?"

Moka nodded, "I know, right? That was more badass than usual."

Mirajane smiled, "An old rival of mine was named Erza Scarlet. She was back at my old world. She was like a sister to me, a sister that you kinda love to hate. And I'm just naturally good at reading people."

Ben then patted Mirajane on the back, "You're incredible. I almost arrested you, myself." Mirajane blushed and nudged him a little, "Yes, officer."

"Can you see it happening?" Moka asked Satellizer, who nodded, "Yeah."

The four walked into a large opened area, with hundreds of large crates, and a group of several different criminal organizations bidding for a dozen shards of Vibranium. A Hydra agent raised his hand, "10 billion!"

Hazuki, who stood over the group, on a crate smirked, "We have 10 billion? Anyone want to take it to 20?"

Several AIM agents looked at their Supreme commander, who shook his head, "We will bid for the next share of Vibranium."

Moka and the group walked to the back of the group, and Hazuki yelled, "Sold. To the Hydra agents. You can collect your Vibranium from my assistant in the back. Next up, this new and lethal Nuclear Warhead."

The Hydra agents looked in awe at the sleek silver looking warhead, that said Stark on the side. Ben nodded, "That's bad."

"No duh." Satellizer growled.

Hazuki nodded, "We'll start the bidding at 100 million."

Ben then rose his hand, "I'll take that!"

Moka looked at him, with bucked eyes, and then Hazuki yelled, "The young man in the back, 100 million!"

"200 million!" An AIM agent yelled, and then Ben yelled, "400 million!"

"What's he doing?" Mirajane asked, then Satellizer nodded, "He's trying to become a nuclear power."

Moka then clicked a timer on her watch, and the watch started counting down from 5 minutes, and she whispered to Ben, "Don't get too excited. You've got five minutes until this warehouse become a war zone."

---

Over two dozen armed guards watched down from the second floor's windows, as the arms dealing was going wonderfully. One guard nodded, "This is going to be a great pay day."

"You can say that again, man." Another said, "Best merc job ever."

"Hey!" One of the snipers said, "I know those breasts from anywhere!"

"What?" Another sniper laughed, then the sniper aimed his guns at Satellizer's chest, "That's the El Bridget bitch, that was with the Teen Titans. I can tell by the curve of her breast."

"You dog." One of the mercs laughed, then a Japanese merchant slapped him on the head, "Sound the alarms, you fools. Those are the Teen Titans, then."

The lights flashed off on the second floor, and then all of the coms in the room went off. The lights flashed back on, and then the Japanese leader tapped on his com, "They're jammed. Get someone downstairs now. We need to get these organizations out of here!"

One merchant ran through the door, heading for the stairs, but a black string tripped him up as soon as he opened the door, and he fell on his face.

"What the hell?" He groaned, and then the Japanese merchant looked up to see Azari, in his panther mask, sitting on a bar on the ceiling. The merchant yelled, "Light him up!" Azari began tossing several small chunks of Vibranium, that stuck to the guns, and exploded, tossing the men back, and destroying their automatic weapons.

Azari landed and then kicked one of the men in the face, and grabbed his leg, and tossed him into a crate. Azari saw six merchants rising from the ground, so he tossed a small sonic device, and it landed near the group, and released a quick sonic blast, that threw the six men back, and rendered them unconscious.

Azari grabbed a merchant by his neck, and he tossed him into two more that ran at him from behind, and they all hit the wall extremely hard. Azari then ducked under one, who was wielding a knife. Azari let out his claws, and stabbed him in the chest, and gashed across. The man fell to the ground, and he began to cough up blood.

Azari turned and aimed a small grapple gun at a merchant, who pulled a rocket launcher from a crate. He fired the grapple and it wrapped around the rocket launcher, and he yanked it over to him. He then ducked under the launcher, and it flew pasted him, and hit a man in the stomach, who was charging him from behind.

Azari then aimed the grapple gun the man again, but this time he fired it through his shoulder, and Azari yanked him forward, tearing his shoulder out of place, and then Azari kicked him in the head, breaking his nose and jaw.

Azari then fired his grapple gun again, this time, it flew through the foot of a soldier, who still had a working rifle. The soldier screamed in pain, as Azari hopped in the air, and wrapped the gun around the bar he was previously on, and then left him hanging upside down.

Azari then pulled out his two Vibranium rods, and put them together, forming his Vibranium scythe. Azari saw one soldier pull out a sword, and he swung it at him, and Azari ducked under the slash, and then he slashed down, cutting off the hand of the man who was wielding the sword. Azari then tossed the hand at the Japanese merchant, who ducked under the sword, and he growled, "Someone kill him!"

One sniper, who's gun had been fried, pulled out a knife, and started charging at him, but Azari pulled out one of his Vibranium energy daggers, and tossed it into the man's shoulder.

Another sniper turned and fired at Azari's chest, but the bullet bounced off. Azari then hopped forward and slashed his scythe down, cutting his rifle in half, and head butted him fiercely. Azari then heard behind him, "Take this, you cat looking mother f**ker!"

Azari turned and looked at the entrance, and the man who had tripped, had a grenade in his hand, and he laughed, "Time to die!" The man pulled the pin on the grenade, and then Azari kicked the man who was hanging upside down into the man holding the grenade, and both of the team tripped into the hallway. The man looked up, and saw the grenade roll a few feet from his face.

"Oh fuc-" The man started, and then the grenade exploded.

---

Downstairs, Ben yelled, "I'll take that! 4 billions!" The explosion was heard from upstairs, and then several organization members looked around nervously. Hazuki then nodded, "Don't panic, everyone! We're testing a few new weapons, upstairs for the next meeting."

Hazuki then turned to one of her men and whispered, "Go check that out. Tell our hired men, I don't pay them to be loud. Clean up the mess quietly."

"Yes ma'am." The soldier nodded, then he started making his way to the stairwell.

---

As the explosion happened behind Azari, he moved into dealing with the remaining nine men. Azari elbowed a man in the side, who ran at him from behind. And he rolled back. Azari then punched down on a rifle, one man had aimed at his face, and he pushed the rifle down. Azari then lifted his elbow up, and sent his elbow through the man's jaw.

Azari then felt a man stab him in the back. The knife bounced off the Vibranium micro-weave, and Azari ducked under the next swing. Azari then grabbed the man's arm, and wrapped his arm around his neck, and lifted him in the air. Azari then slammed the man into the ground, on his back. The ground cracked around him, as the man's back snapped.

Azari then charged, at three men, who were standing on a wall, firing at him from their pistols. Azari ducked under the gun fire, and hopped over a crate. Azari twisted in the air, and fired his grapple gun, and it hooked onto the crate. Azari then swung the crate over his shoulder, and two of the men ducked under the crate, but the crate slammed into the final man, and he flew into the wall, and he was left unconscious.

Azari then growled, as the Japanese man shot him in the forearm, which was revealed, and blood flew onto the ground. The man fired again, but Azari tossed another energy dagger, and it stabbed into the gun's muzzle.

Azari then ducked, as one soldier swung Azari's own scythe at his head. Azari then backed away, as the man swung at him again, but Azari then grabbed his scythe, and tossed it behind him. The man kicked at Azari's chest, but he grabbed his leg, and yanked it out of place, and then tossed him into a wall.

Azari then reached for one of his energy dagger's, but another bullet flew into his forearm, fired from another pistol that the Japanese man got his hands on. Azari then growled, as the man aimed at Azari's head, but the gun then jammed, and he growled, and tossed it away.

The remaining five men, pulled out knifes, and started moving in a circle around Azari. Azari then started to move wildly at the five. Azari grabbed onto the Japanese's man's vest, as he stabbed at his chest. Azari pulled him aside, as the other four circled around him. Azari tossed him into the man on his left. Azari then elbowed the man behind him, as the man to his right slashed his knife at Azari's head, but the knife bounced off the panther helmet. Azari then sent his fist to his left and front, punching both of the men, who had gotten up. The Japanese man slashed his knife at Azari's chest, but he caught the knife, and kicked him in the kneecaps, and then roundhouse kicked him. The man flew back, but then began to rise slowly. Azari then head butted the man to his left, this time with so much force, that he flew backwards and into a crate, and a shard of wood impaled him in the right shoulder.

Azari then turned to the turned and punched the man in the back of him, and then felt a knife stab at his legs, so he turned and punched the Japanese man in the face.

The man, who was sent by Hazuki ran into the room, and saw the fight going on, so he pulled out his pistol and started to circle Azari, from a distance.

Azari then pulled out two daggers, and swung them to his right and front, both of them clashing with the knifes of the opponents on his front and right. The Vibranium daggers cut through the blades easily. The Japanese man, then took the place of the fallen man on the left. Azari grabbed onto the man's hand from behind him, and twisted the man's arm with the knife in it. The Japanese man then slashed his knife at Azari. So Azari lifted the man's hand, and the Japanese man's knife and the man's knife clashed against each other. Azari then kicked the Japanese man in the chest, and then he pushed the knife, in the man's hand he was controlling, into the man's knee, and he yelled in pain.

Azari punched the Japanese in the face, but he quickly recovered, and then he kicked Azari in the stomach. Azari then growled and kicked him in the chest, and the Japanese man fell on his back. Azari then turned and punched the man, with the knife in his knee, in the head. The man's face then flew into the ground.

Azari was then tackled by the man on his right, and he fell to the ground. Azari then elbowed the man in the throat, and the man coughed up air. Azari then stabbed his claws into the man's stomach.

Azari hopped to his feet, and the man in front of him, then jumped forward, but Azari hopped over him, and the man landed on his face. Azari then turned to the Japanese man, and started walking towards him, but then the man, who was sent by Hazuki, walked behind him, and shot him, point blank, in the back of the head.

Azari stumbled forward, and he grunted in pain, as the bullet's force was enough to fell like a punch in the back of the head. Azari twisted around, and then grabbed the man's hand, and twisted it enough to break it. The man cried in pain, but then head butted Azari. Azari then kicked him in the crotch, but as he leaned down and started punching him in the face, the man, who had been in front of him, was up now and kicked him in the chest.

Azari rolled on his back, and then the Japanese man swung at his head. Azari dodged it, and but he was kicked in the side, by the front man. Azari punched that man in the leg, but then the Japanese man stomped on Azari's bullet wound in his forearm, and he grunted in pain. The Japanese man then stabbed a knife deep into Azari's arm, and he screamed in pain.

Azari then kicked the front man, in the knee, this time, his knee went backwards, and through his leg, and the man fell over, screaming in pain. Azari then kneed the Japanese man in the face. Azari then stood, and the Japanese man stood. Azari kicked the man in the chest, and he flew back into the wall. Azari then yanked the knife out of his arm, and then walked up to the man, and stabbed the knife into his shoulder pinning him into the wall. The man cried in pain, and tried to yank out the knife. He then kicked Azari, and Azari backed away. The man tried to yank it out again, but then he saw Azari walking towards him again, and he moved his hand from the knife, trying to motion for Azari to stop. Azari then drew his claws, then jabbed him hard in the stomach, and the man screamed in pain.

---

Saeko walked down the hallway of the third floor, and then heard, "Keep moving, bitch." Saeko saw three doors in the hall. One at the very end of the hallway. One in the middle, on the right, and one at her left, near the beginning of the hallway.

Saeko heard a little girl yelled, "Stop! I don't want this." Saeko then drew her sword, and then kicked down the door to her left. Four men stood over a small teenage girl, and Saeko tossed her sword like a boomerang at the man closest to the girl. The sword stabbed into the man's chest, and he flew backwards into the wall. One man pulled out a gun, but as Saeko punched one man in the face, she grabbed onto a coffee mug, and slung the hot coffee onto the armed man's face. The man fired the gun in the air, as he screamed in pain, "MY FACE! MY F**KING FACE!"

The girl ran out of the room, and Saeko kicked the man behind her in the knee, and he tripped off. Saeko then grabbed the man's hair, and tossed him into the wall. Saeko then kicked the man in front of her in the crotch, and he grabbed for himself, and cried, "You…bitch."

Saeko then turned on the man with the coffee in his face. Saeko grabbed him and tossed him into the door of the hallway. The man hit the door, and the door ripped off of its hinges. Five men, in the room down the hall on the right, heard this noise, and one Russian walked out, and looked at the door at the end of the hall, and yelled in Russian, "The slaves are still in there."

The Russian looked down at the end of the hallway, saw the door unhinged, and the unconscious man, and he yelled, "I got something." The man then ran towards the end of the hall, and when he peaked his head into the room, a TV flew out and hit him in the face, completely knocking him out, if not killing him.

Saeko was then pushed out of the room, and then one of the men in the room hopped on top of her. Saeko then felt the man rip her shirt off, and she then head butted him and the elbowed him in the nose, causing his nose to break.

Saeko tossed him off her, and then stood, as the four men ran out of the room. One turned a rifle on her, and Saeko rolled under the gunfire, and grabbed him by the leg, and pulled him to the ground.

She was then kicked in the face by another man, and then the last man in the room behind her, walked out with a bottle, and slammed it on her head, causing it to shatter. Saeko grunted in pain, and then turned around, and grabbed the bottle from the man, and stabbed it into the man's neck.

Saeko then heard a gun shot from a pistol, and a bullet flew through her side. Saeko growled, and then hopped in the air, doing a back flip over several bullets. Saeko landed, and then grabbed the man with the gun, and then punched him in the face.

She heard behind her, a female voice laughed, "Look at the hero." Saeko then growled, as she turned around to see a man with a knife coming at her, Saeko grabbed the knife, from the man, and stabbed it through the bottom of his chin and growled, "I'm not a hero. But I'm fast."

"I'm sure you are." Saeko looked forward, to see a teenage girl, about her age, in orange and blue armor, with long white hair, an eye patch, two katana on her back, and several guns attached to her suit.

"I'm the Ravager." Ravager smiled at Saeko, who looked behind her, and saw the last few men standing up, and then looked back at Ravager, who held Saeko's sword in her hand, "This is a beautiful blade. I think I'll keep it, after I kill you."

Saeko growled, "All of you, against me, is far from fair." Ravager then pulled out a pistol and aimed at Saeko's head, then she smirked, "Life is rarely fair, bitch." Saeko readied herself, but then Ravager pushed her pistol back in its holster, and then tossed Saeko her katana.

Saeko grabbed it, then Ravager pulled out both of her katana, and smiled, "But I am willing to give you back your blades. I want to see what you're made of. But, my men will go and alert the woman who's hired me. Your friends are good as dead."

Saeko then charged at Ravager, who ducked under Saeko's first swing, and then slashed her swords at Saeko's chest. Saeko hopped back, and narrowly missed Ravager's blades.

Saeko analyzed Ravager, 'This girl has some kind of armor around her, which will probably be able to be cut through with my katana. Her swords might be made of something durable, but if they are not Vibranium, I will be able to disable them. I need to go for a killing blow.'

Saeko then stabbed at Ravager's good eyes, and she backed away, and growled, "That's in bad taste!" Saeko then kicked Ravager in the chest, and she rolled on her back, and then Saeko moved in. Saeko swiped at Ravager's leg, but she hopped over the sword, and slashed her swords down. Saeko quickly lifted her katana up in defense.

Ravager kicked Saeko in the chest, and Saeko rolled back into the room that she had began her fight in. Saeko hopped to her feet, and then stabbed her blade right at Ravager's heart, but then the sword bounced off of Ravager's armor, and Ravager slashed Saeko's hand, and Saeko dropped her sword, and winched in pain.

"Promethium. It's unbreakable. My swords are also made of this." Ravager smirked, "Not as flashy as your Vibranium, but works just the same."

Saeko ducked under another swing that Ravager made at her, and then grabbed a bong off the kitchen table, and smacked Ravager in the face. Ravager backed away as smoke flew all over her face. Saeko grabbed one of Ravager's katana, and Ravager and her clashed katana against one another. Both blades flew from each other's hands.

Saeko and Ravager looked at each other, then Saeko grabbed onto the girl's armor, and head butted her. The girl backed away in pain, and bumped into the kitchen counter. Both girls saw the knifes sitting on the corner.

Saeko pulled out her Vibranium knife from her back sash, and Ravager picked up a big butcher knife. Saeko looked at her knife, then at Ravager's and Saeko smirked, "Are you ready, bitch?"

Ravager then laughed, "Mine is bigger than yours." Ravager swung at Saeko's head, but she just slashed through the butcher knife, and her blade cut through the butcher knife. Saeko then kicked Ravager against the fridge, and then stabbed the knife down at Ravager's face. Ravager grabbed Saeko's knife hand, and growled, "Don't try to cut my face, you bitch!"

Ravager kneed her in the crotch, and Saeko growled in pain. Ravager then punched Saeko in the jaw, and Saeko fell on her back, then Ravager pulled the fridge down, and the whole refrigerator fell onto of Saeko.

Ravager hopped over the fridge, and then started running for one of her katana. Saeko pulled out a ham from the fridge, and then slung it at Ravager's feet. Ravager tripped on the ham, and then fell on her face. Saeko then kicked the fridge off of her, and towards Ravager. Ravager saw the fridge flying straight towards her, so she pushed herself off the ground, and the fridge flew under her, into a wall.

Ravager landed on the ground, then she grabbed Saeko's katana, and started at Saeko. Saeko saw this, and then grabbed for a wooden chair. Saeko swung the chair at Ravager, and Ravager slashed through the chair, and cut the chair in half, while in Saeko's hands.

Saeko looked at the cut chair, and slightly giggled, "Wow, I should have saw this one coming."

Ravager elbowed Saeko in the chest, and Saeko landed on her back, but then Ravager stabbed down at Saeko's head. Before Saeko could react, Azari's hand grabbed onto the sword, and then he kicked Ravager in the head. Ravager let go of the sword.

Ravager growled at Azari and Saeko, "You bitch! I would have been paid big time for this score. And I would have gotten away with it if it were for you meddling kids and your stupid black cat."

Saeko smirked and pointed at her, "I understood that reference."

Azari then growled to Ravager, "Reach for one of your swords or guns, and I will impale you with a Vibranium dagger. Also, I took down your men, who were on their way to tell the ringleader. You're finished."

Ravager smirked at Saeko, "I'm not done with you, girl. But, I guess I should know when I'm beat." Ravager smirked at Azari, then she hopped through the wall, as Azari tossed a Vibranium dagger that bounced off of her Promethium covered armor.

Azari and Saeko, who grabbed her sword, ran out of the room, but only saw Ravager run through and crash through a window, falling to the ground.

Azari then heard on the radio of an unconscious guard, "Is everything okay up there?" Hazuki asked. Azari then lifted up the com and then said, "We just ran into a couple of would be heroes. Looks like the Africa military."

"Are they dead?" Hazuki asked, then Azari nodded, "Yes."

Hazuki then giggled in the com, "Bring down any weapons on them. I'll see if I can sell some of their weapons on the side."

"ENOUGH!" Ben growled to the AIM and Hydra leaders, "100 billion dollars!"

AIM and Hydra looked at Ben in awe, as he stood in front of everyone in the audience, "I put down 100 billion dollars for this nuclear warhead."

The AIM leader then shook his head in confusion, "Fine, you fool. Keep it! I could find one cheaper in the US."

Hazuki smirked at her big payday, "Going once. Going twice."

Ben then clapped, "Sold! Look at me go!"

Raul Al' Ghul walked over to the four teens, and asked, "Well, well. We seem to have new players."

"Do we know you?" Ben just asked and Ra's Al Ghul growled, "No one knows me, who I don't want to know, boy. But-" Ra's looked at Mirajane, "I heard you were in charged. So, how did you get in here? And who are you?"

Mirajane then smirked, "Well, thanks to my friend, over here, as of a few seconds ago, I'm a nuclear power."

Ra's Al Ghul then growled, "Yet, I don't know you. Or your organization. And I've been around long enough to know everyone who is invented to these meetings."

Satellizer then poked Ra's in the chest, "Hey back off, pornstache." Ra's then turned and growled, "Watch your tone, woman. Or, I will put you in your place."

"Is there a problem?" Hazuki called down from the crate, and then Ben yelled, "Mr. Master Race, here, is starting a fight he's not going to enjoy finishing."

Moka then put a hand on Ben's chest, "We're just going to get our nuclear warhead and be on our way."

"Not without paying of course." The Hydra leader growled, and then Mirajane nodded, "Once we've validated that our warhead is operational. Honestly, it's hard to believe that you've gotten your hands on Stark technology, since Spiderman is always talking about how he has secured all of the fancy Stark tech. We will need to see if this warhead is actually operational."

Hazuki then heard Mirajane and growled, "Spiderman?"

---

Superboy looked at Takumi, Spiderman, and Static, "Guys, I've got a feeling we need to start moving down to the ground level."

Takumi stretched, "20 bucks on Ben messing up the plan."

Static then growled, "Let's move, everyone!"

Spiderman then saw Takumi, Superboy, and Static moving towards the ground, and then he tapped his thigh, "I'm…suppose to call the team to go."

---

Hazuki then yelled, "Change of plans, ladies and gentlemen! I will provide a 20% discount on a set nuclear warhead to the men that bring me the heads of these teenagers!"

Mirajane then leaned over to Moka, as everyone looked over at the four teenagers, and she growled, "Can I blow up people now?"

"I wish you would." Moka growled as an AIM agent grabbed her arm, and Moka yanked the man over to her, and kicked him in the stomach. Mirajane was then engulfed in her demonic energy, and revealed her Halpulus Demon form, and turned around firing cosmic energy from her hands, blowing up several tanks and weapons crates around her, and several dozen soldiers for the Divine Light were caught in the flames.

Ben was then kicked in the stomach by a Hydra goon, so he fell on the ground, and then slammed down on his watch, and Upchuck replaced him. Upchuck the sent out his multiple tongues, and ate the goon's gun, and then his stomach started glowing bright green, "Sweet!" Upchuck then fired a blast of green energy from his mouth, and it hit Ra's Al Ghul, sending him flying back into Hazuki.

Satellizer summoned Nova Blood, and stabbed down on a goon's foot, and then drove her elbow up into the man's jaw. Then a man grabbed her from behind, and Satellizer growled, "Get off me!"

"Yeah, right. All I heard was sleep with me." The man growled, and then an electrified fist punched the man in the back of the head. Static landed and kicked the man in the side, "Don't touch my friend."

The Beetle landed in front of Moka, and grabbed her by the collar, and Moka yelled, "Now would be a great time." Moka kicked the Beetle in the crotch, and then elbowed him in the stomach. Moka then ducked under a knife, that was drove at her head, then Moka punched the woman who swung at her in the face. Then a man, who was wielding a photon gun aimed it at Moka's chest, "Yeah, to kill you."

Moka the growled, "I wasn't talking to you!" A portal opened in front of Moka's breast, and Takumi's fist flew out of it and punched the man in the face. Takumi then appeared next to Moka, "Nice to see you're alright."

Moka nodded, and kicked a Divine Light agent, who had on a jetpack, "Glad to see you care!"

Takumi then summoned his D-Sword, and then slashed at an AIM agent, who was wielding a light saber. Takumi grabbed the light saber, "I was talking about your puppies. But, you've got a nice enough face to miss too, Moka." Takumi pushed a button on the light saber, and the glowing purple light beam went into its hilt, and Takumi laughed, "This is so cool!"

Superboy crashed through a wall, and then grabbed onto a soldier, who was wearing a mech suit. The soldier punched Superboy in the face, but the mech's arm broke, and the man's arm completely shattered. Superboy then turned and fired his heat vision at several different agents, who were surrounding him. One Divine Light agent got into an alien tank, and then turned its cannon onto Superboy. It fired out a beam of blue energy, and it hit Superboy in the chest. Superboy was sent flying through a wall. And then the tank pulled up beside Hazuki, who growled, "Load up the Vibranium and the Noah 3 generators. We're moving out."

Hazuki then turned and watched in amusement as the young heroes tore through the sell she worked so hard to pull off. Hazuki then smirked, as Spiderman swung into the room, and then fired a web into the face of the Supreme Hydra agent. Spiderman then hopped over to Ra's Al Ghul, and he laughed, "So, let me guess, Ra's. You were just here, by accident."

Ra's then growled, "I've been waiting to deal with you, boy." Ra's pulled out a sword, and then aimed it at Spiderman's chest, and Spiderman hopped over the sword, and then kicked at Ra's' head, but he ducked under the kick, and rolled away.

Spiderman landed, then Ra's tossed the sword, but Spiderman's spider sense went off, and then he ducked under the sword. Ra's then turned and started making his way for the exit. Spiderman was about to follow, when Takumi yelled, "YOU!"

Spiderman looked up to she Hazuki, and he then fired a web, and swung over to the platform she was now on. Takumi landed next to him, and Hazuki backed up into the warhead.

"I watched you kill yourself." Takumi said, shocked, "You're suppose to be dead."

Hazuki then laughed, "Don't believe everything you see, boy. That's rule #1 to being a Giglomaniac."

Takumi then smirked, and Hazuki caught on fire, and then Takumi laughed, "I'm the Giglomaniac king. Now burn, you bitch."

Hazuki then screamed in pain, and then after a second, she started laugh in pleasure, "This is child's play, Takumi Nishigou!" Hazuki's bracelet started glowing silver light, and her flame's died, but then Takumi caught on fire, and he screamed in pain, as he fell off the platform, and Spiderman yelled, "NO!"

Spiderman hopped over to Takumi, and fired webbing on him, cutting off the fires. Moka saw Takumi and Spiderman, then hopped on the platform, "This is over, bitch. You're coming with us."

Hazuki then smirked, "I doubt you can stop me, and stop a nuclear explosion!" Hazuki tapped a button on the warhead, and a clock counting down from 2:00 minutes started. Hazuki then snapped her fingers, and she disappeared, while Moka grabbed at her in vain.

Moka then saw three soldiers, in mech armors walk behind her, "Great."

Satellizer, who punched a guy in the face, heard Static say to her, "You guys sure did screw this one up pretty good!"

Satellizer then yelled, "We had everything handled! Don't smart mouth me! It's only cute when you do it to the villains." Satellizer realized what she said, then turned, "I didn't mean that to be weird-" Satellizer was then punched in the face, by a goon in a mech armor.

Static turned and was about to fire a bolt of lightning at it, but then Mirajane grabbed onto the mech and then slung it through the roof. Mirajane then landed next Moka, who just finished off the last of her assailants.

The AIM Supreme agent then pulled out a small device, and nodded, "This should work!" The agent tossed it at Moka and Mirajane's feet. The device then released a blast of divine energy, and Moka and Mirajane fell over to the ground, and cried in pain.

Spiderman finished putting out Takumi's flames, and then Moka punched the device, and looked over to see the AIM agents leaving the room. Moka looked at the warhead's clock, and saw it was at 45 seconds. "Guys! We have a freakin nuclear warhead!"

Superboy zoomed in the building. And he groaned, "That alien tank, it took something out of me. I can't carry it out of the atmosphere."

Mirajane, who reverted to her human form, then groaned, "I'm human too. I'm out of juice."

Spiderman then said, "Static, you and I can try to defuse it."

Static then shook his head, "I'm an electrochemist, physicist, etc! I'm not the guy who plays with nuclear explosions!"

"Well radiation is in the electromagnetic, so I was thinking you knew something that could help." Spiderman growled, as the time went to 30 seconds, and Upchuck laughed, "It could be a dud!"

Static then shook his head, then grabbed the nuke and flew off out of the building, and away. Satellizer then yelled, "Static!"

Everyone started outside, as Static zoomed towards the coast. Azari and Saeko came down the stairs, and joined the six outside, and then Moka asked, "What is he doing?!"

"He's getting to a minimum safe distance!" Spiderman said, and Satellizer yelled, "NO! He's going to die!" Satellizer tried to go, but Moka grabbed her, "No! IF you go, you'll die too. This is his choice!"

Static landed on the beach, and sat down the nuke, as it got to 15 seconds.

Superboy was about to zoom off, when Azari put a hand on his chest, "Do not move, Superboy."

Superboy then growled, "I can save him."

Azari then nodded, "That's not his plan, to blow up. Radiation is in the electromagnetic spectrum. Static manipulates the electromagnetic spectrum."

"Wait a minute." Spiderman looked at Azari, who had a confident look on his face, "You don't…mean…"

Spiderman then clicked on his com-link, "Virgil. If this works, you are the biggest badass on this team!"

Static then put his hands on the nuke as it got to 10 and Moka asked, "What's the plan, Static?"

Static then nodded, "I'm going to let the warhead go off. Then I'll convert the massive release of atomic energy into electricity, and then absorb it into my body. Hopefully I can convert it fast enough before it completely turns into the form of an explosion."

Upchuck then said on the com, "Your plan sucks, Virgil."

Moka then smacked Upchuck on the head, "Quiet, Benjamin!"

Static closed his eyes, as the clock hit 0. The explosion rung around the sky, and then Satellizer put her hands over her mouth, "God…please save him."

Static felt all the atomic energy around him, and he discharged several blast of lightning, each bolt hitting the massive release of atomic energy, and converting it to electricity. Static then wrapped the explosion in an electric barrier, and closed the explosion off. As the explosion was completely absorbed by the electric barrier, it was all converted into electricity, and Static absorbed all of it inside of his body, but all of his clothing were incinerated. The sky was cleared of the blast, and the trees near the beach were completely scorched by Static's lightning.

Static was sparking with red and white lightning, while he felt full of power. Static then looked around and smirked, as his fingers and hands were sizzling with power.

Superboy and XLR8 appeared in front of Static, and then Superboy nodded, "Dude, put some clothes on buddy."

XLR8 looked at the Omnitrix and then smirked, "No radiation. Good going, Virg." XLR8 slapped the Omnitrix and then turned human, while Satellizer appeared next to Superboy in a blur, and saw Virgil. Satellizer smiled, "Virgil! You're…naked…" Satellizer turned away and blushed, and then Ben tossed Virgil his jacket, "You're freakin badass, man!"

---

"What happened?" Elizabeth asked, as Virgil took up a piece of bacon at the morning breakfast with the rest of the team around their kitchen table.

"We went to Africa." Spiderman nodded, "We're hunting down this evil lady, who's a total bitch."

Superboy then nodded, "Dude. Come on."

Takumi then laughed, "We have our very own swear police. Thanks for that, Superboy."

Superboy then growled, "Don't be such a butt. Just have some respect."

Elizabeth then gulped down some orange juice, and Satellizer asked, "What are you doing here, anyways, Elizabeth? Why are you so dedicated to be beside the Teen Titans, while we are trying to relax."

Elizabeth then shrugged, "I'm just trying to understand what's going on. So you guys went to Africa, to catch some nurse lady?"

"Yep." Virgil sat down, "She's all big on world domination, and trying to kill everyone." Elizabeth nodded at Virgil, "And you…absorbed a nuclear blast…into your body?"

Takumi slapped him on the back, "That's our boy. Taking one for the team!"

Elizabeth nodded, "Did you even know if you could survive doing that?"

"Nope." Virgil took a bite of his bacon, and then Elizabeth shook her head, "What about radiation poisoning? Did you check for that?"

Spiderman then nodded, "Azari and I checked for that already."

"Azari?" Elizabeth asked, then rose an eyebrow, "You mean King Azari, of Wakanda?"

"That's him." Moka nodded, and Saeko rubbed her side, where she had been shot. Although she had healed from it, she was still angry she let her guard down. Saeko then said, "He's too mysterious. He needs to be more…open with his team."

"Team?" Superboy laughed, then narrowed his eyes, "He is not, on this team."

"What?" Takumi shrugged, "He's a neko-fest, but we could use him. He told me he took down nearly 24 dudes. How many did you take down before he had to help you, Saeko?"

Saeko then growled, "Takumi, I heard you caught on fire. I can arrange that again."

Elizabeth then shook her head, "Wow."

Moka then smirked at Elizabeth, "If you were more opened with us, we could open a spot up for you, Ms. Mably."

"What?" Satellizer and Virgil asked, then Spiderman nodded, "Yeah. You're a Pandora. You'd be very handle to the team."

Elizabeth then waved off both Virgil and Satellizer's rude, 'what's by saying, "No thanks. The Teen Titans' world, is a bit too complicated for this Pandora."

"Sure thing." Moka looked at her watch, and then stood, "Well, we better get to the airport."

Takumi looked over, and then asked, "We?"

Superboy stood, and then reversed his S-shirt, and smiled, "Moka and I are taking Rias and her peerage back to Japan."

"Just the two of you?" Saeko asked, then Moka waved her off, "Don't make something out of nothing. We're just going, because Rias wanted to talk to Superboy and I about something important. And we might as well go all the way."

"All the way?" Takumi asked, then put his hand on his chest like he was hurt, "I thought I was your favorite, Senpai."

Moka then nudged Takumi, "Calm yourself, tiger."

Moka and Superboy started out the room, and Saeko sighed to Spiderman, "Can you see that happening?"

Spiderman thought about it, then nodded, "Yeah. Both of them are the definitions of being better than all of us."

"We can hear you!" Superboy and Moka yelled from the hallway, and Spiderman nodded, "See."

Elizabeth then stood, "Well, I guess I'll leave now."

"Why?" Takumi asked, then smirked, "I could still give you a tour of the room."

"No thanks, Takumi." Elizabeth said, serious now, "But, Mr. Hawkins. If you feel as if you're going to explode. Please get out of the hotel."

"Do me a favor." Spiderman nodded, "Get out of the city, if you think your new name is going to be Nitro."

"Who's Nitro?" Ben asked, then Mirajane looked at her watch, and then nudged Ben, "It's time to go."

Ben looked down at her watch, and then nodded, "You're right. We gotta run, everyone!"

"Another we?" Takumi asked, then Saeko asked, a bit jealous, "Where are you TWO going?"

Mirajane nudged Ben, "Playboy here, is taking me to the Bellwood Plumber base. We have a long day of alien negotiation and stuff."

Ben smiled at Mirajane, who wasn't looking at him at the moment, but when Mirajane looked at him, Ben looked away blushing, "So, should we get going?"

Mirajane nodded, "I'm not the one with the late problems."

Ben then activated his Omnitrix, and laughed, "Going XLR8!" Ben was then engulfed in a bright green light, and Jetray stood in his place. Jetray then sighed, "Or, Jetray…He's good too."

Elizabeth looked at Satellizer and pointed at Jetray, and Mirajane as she transformed into her demon form, "You see? CRAZY! We never dealt with stuff like this when we were at West Genetics."

"There's no we." Satellizer growled, and then Jetray and Mirajane walked onto the balcony, and flew off. Saeko then nudged Virgil, "Did you see that happening?"

Virgil then pointed at Satellizer, who was arguing with Elizabeth, "Can you see this happening?"

Saeko blushed at Virgil's blunt question, then she sighed, "Virgil. She seems like a very difficult young lady, with a troubled past. You two should just talk. Talking is always the best way to deal with problems between two loved ones."

"We're not in love." Virgil strictly said, then Saeko sighed, "You're such a nice guy, but sadly, you're still a guy."

"We need to talk." Elizabeth heard behind her, and she jumped back, and turned to see Azari, standing in a black and purple business suit, without his mask on.

Elizabeth nodded, "Your highness."

"It must be strange to tell that to someone else." Satellizer said, and Azari growled, "Enough pointless snarky actions, please."

"Is that anyway to treat the ones who saved your precious Vibranium yesterday?" Takumi laughed, then Azari nodded to Takumi, "You are correct, Mr. Nishigou. The Teen Titans did not help me get my country's stolen Vibranium. The Church of Divine Light has escaped Africa with tons of stolen Vibranium."

"What are you talking about, Azari?" Saeko narrowed her eyes at Azari and growled, "We attacked and captured the base, which is exactly what you asked us to do. You're welcome, by the way."

Azari growled, "You were told that the Vibranium was the first priority of this mission. You all were diverted-"

"Saving the Coast of Africa." Satellizer growled and pointed at Virgil, "This guy just risked his life absorbing a nuclear bomb that had the power to destroy an entire city. You should be more grateful, you dick."

Azari leaned forward and growled to Satellizer, "Stay out of this, El Bridget." Azari looked at all the Titans in the room and growled, "You all are damaged and mental unstable people. It was my mistake to believe that I could trust a bunch of children with a task like this."

"Oh, shut up." Takumi growled, "Without us, you wouldn't have even come close to that base. You needed the Teen Titans, and we delivered. Just because we couldn't get your rocks back, doesn't mean the mission was a failed."

Azari looked at Takumi and growled, "You know nothing of a mission, Nishigou. All you know is blunt force. You are nothing but a blunt instrument, that makes too much noise."

Takumi blinked at Azari's blunt statement, then Azari turned towards Spiderman, who raised an eyebrow at him, "Oh, is this the point where you get all of your anger off your chest about each and every one of us?"

Azari then glared at each and every person in the room and then said, "No." Azari then sighed and looked at all the Teen Titans with a calm look in his eyes, "I...I...am sorry."

"What?" Saeko said and leaned forward, wanting to hear Azari apologize again. Azari then looked at Saeko and then growled, "You heard me woman. I am sorry. I should not have...been so rude...even though my Vibranium is now missing."

"That is a problem." Spiderman said, as he leaned back in his chair, and then Elizabeth looked around and asked, "Wait, what does he mean Vibranium is missing? That stuff is dangerous right?"

"Right." Azari nodded, then said, "And now it will be 10 times harder for me to find the missing Vibranium."

Saeko winced, as Takumi nudged her and then said to Azari, "BTW, we're kinda sorry that your Vibranium is lost."

Azari then looked and nodded, "No. It is fine. You...Titans have allowed me to at least clear up dangerous weapons that were in my homeland."

Azari then turned to Virgil and smiled, "Even if it was one nuclear weapon at a time." Virgil then smiled back at Azari, who then looked at all the Teen Titans, "It was an honor to fight beside all of you."

Azari then looked at Saeko, and then took her hand, and before she could yank her hand away, Azari bowed down to her as if she were a queen, and Saeko began to blush extremely hard. Virgil then saw this, but Takumi was the finish to point it out, "Oh snap. Azari, careful now."

Azari then looked at Saeko, and he nodded to her, "I am very sorry for attacking you, Saeko. I hope you have a wonderful rest of you day."

Azari then turned and walked out of the room, and then Elizabeth gulped, "So...do you guys always hang out with-"

"Kings?" Takumi asked, then Saeko winched as she rubbed her chest, "Hunks..."

"Wow..." Spiderman quickly said then looked at Saeko, and Saeko blushed, "What? I can't admit that he is pretty attractive for an African prince?"

Virgil stood and shook his head, "Great. That was a whole lot of fun. Anyone else have anything to get off their chest?"

Takumi then grumbled, "Now that you mention it-"

Elizabeth then looked at the young heroes and said, "Is this seriously what you guys have to deal with everyday? Kings and hotties?"

"Something like that." Spiderman sighed, then he turned and began to walk out of the room. Virgil nodded to everyone then made his way out of the room. Satellizer stood and called out to him, "Wait, Virgil. Wait up."

Virgil sighed as he waited at the doorway for Satellizer to reach his side, then the two walked out together. Elizabeth narrowed her eyes at the two as they left, then Takumi sighed, "So, are you going to stay here all night, and watch us all grovel in our failure and self-pity? OR we could celebrate about how we just stopped a nuclear attack in Africa."

Elizabeth looked at both Takumi and Saeko, and then shook her head, "No thanks. I'm tired, and I need some sleep. Good night, guys."

Elizabeth then turned and walked out of the kitchen, leaving the final two teenagers. Takumi then looked at Saeko and then began to ask, "So, what no-"

"No." Saeko just stood and began to walk out of the kitchen, and Takumi asked, "What? You don't wanna hang out with me? I'm a fun guy. Not everyone has to be completely antisocial."

Saeko, however, ignored him and then walked out, leaving Takumi alone in the kitchen. Takumi then laughed to himself, "Once again, I'm left alone talking to myself...it's like I'm the most sensible person I know...sweet."

---

Satellizer followed after Virgil, as he walked down the hallway to his room. Satellizer quickly said, "Hey Virgil. Do we still have time...to you know...talk?"

Virgil looked back at Satellizer and rubbed the back of his neck and said, "I'm sorry, Satellizer. I'm not feeling so hot today. After that little stunt-"

"That nearly killed you?" Satellizer grumbled, then she looked at Virgil and said, "That was really reckless! You could've died!"

Virgil then sighed in annoyance, "Before you begin to lecture me, Moka, my friend Gear, and Azari all lectured me about absorbing too much energy. I know it was reckless. I would like it if everyone got off my ass for once-"

Satellizer grabbed Virgil's hand and then quickly felt her uncomfortable feeling rise up, but she did her best to ignore it, "I'm not lecturing you, Virgil...I'm just trying to check on you." Satellizer began blushing really hard, and Virgil noticed this. Virgil blinked and then sighed, "Satellizer...I'm not trying to be difficult...this has just been a long day. I'm kinda drained and tired. I feel empty..."

Satellizer heard Virgil say this, and then Virgil sighed. Satellizer then put on a small smile, "Hey, I have an idea, Virgil." Virgil looked at Satellizer, who tapped him on the shoulder lightly, "Why don't we go downstairs to that restaurant. We can get some dinner...I'll pay. We can talk...and you can release some of that extra energy you've built up."

Virgil blinked at Satellizer and then he became a bit flustered, he was about to nervously chuckle something, when Satellizer put on a small smirk and laughed, "And before you say anything, I'm not asking you out, Mr. Hawkins." Virgil heard this and then choked on his words, and Satellizer laughed and nudged him, "I'm not giving you that satisfaction, bud."

Virgil raised an eyebrow at Satellizer and said, "Are you flirting with me?" Satellizer then became flustered and growled, "You mean like how you always flirt with me?" Virgil then smirked and nodded, "I don't flirt with you."

"Yes you do." Takumi said, as he was walking down the hallway towards his room. Satellizer looked at Takumi and pointed, "Hahaha, told you Virgil."

Virgil then rolled his eyes, "Shut up, Takumi." Virgil looked over at Takumi and then asked, "Where are you going anyways? Going to bed this early?"

Takumi then turned around and growled, "Well, Saeko didn't want to talk. Peter just climbed on his private helicopter on the roof-"

"What?!" Satellizer and Virgil quickly asked. Takumi then rolled his eyes, "Yep. He said some chick who dresses like a white tiger-"

"You mean White Tiger?" Virgil said, as if Takumi was a moron. Takumi then shrugged, "Whatever, dude. I'm going to Tokyo. Check on my girls."

"Dude." Virgil quickly said, then Takumi waved him off and said, "If you need anyone, Saeko and Elizabeth were watching TV in the living room with that Andre guy."

Satellizer was about to ask a question, when Takumi summoned his D-Sword in his hand and then cut a portal in front of him. Takumi then hopped through the portal and was gone. Satellizer looked at Virgil and asked, "Well...so what do we do now?"

Virgil looked at Satellizer and then he sighed, "You think that place downstairs sells good cheeseburgers?"

---

"Hahaha." Andre laughed as Virgil finished his story down at the restaurant's dinner table. Only Virgil, Saeko, Satellizer, Elizabeth, and Andre were allowed to sit in the vast restaurant that Elizabeth had rented out for the night.

While Saeko nibbled on her chicken parmesan, Elizabeth ate her fish and chips and giggled at Virgil's childhood story. Both Satellizer and Virgil had both ordered steakhouse cheesburgers and they seemed to be enjoying their burgers. Andre chewed down on his last piece of sushi as the group continued to laugh.

The five teenagers sat at a rounded table at the center of the restaurant. Satellizer and Virgil sat next to each other, and on Virgil's side sat Saeko. On Satellizer' side, Elizabeth sat next to her, with Andre on her left.

Rain continued to slam outside the hotel building. The night sky was darker and blacker than usual. Once and a while a loud clap of thunder would explode in the sky, which would always cause Satellizer to jump and clinch onto Virgil's hand. Each time this happened, Virgil and Satellizer would lock eyes then blush slightly.

"So..." Andre looked at both Satellizer and Virgil, "When are you two going to partner up and have the baptism?"

"WHAT?!" Satellizer quickly asked and blushed extremely hard, "You shouldn't ask questions like that out in public!"

"What is a baptism?" Saeko quickly asked, "I'm assuming it's not the kind that people have at church." Elizabeth then smirked and nodded, "Oh trust me, it's nothing like that. But it feels great."

Elizabeth ran her fingers through Andre's hair, who blushed at Elizabeth, and then remembered their special night. Saeko saw Elizabeth do this, then she nodded, "Ohhh..."

Saeko then turned and looked at both Satellizer and Virgil. Satellizer blushed and looked down at her lap, while Virgil had his hand on his eyes, as if he was trying to not look at Elizabeth and Andre's public display of affection. Saeko then shook her head, "Well, I'm willing to bet that neither Virgil or Satellizer would be able to stand any baptism, the way they both avoid one another."

Virgil then lifted his hand and growled, "What's that suppose to mean, dude?"

Satellizer then growled to Saeko, "YEAH! I don't avoid Virgil. You don't avoid people you li-" Satellizer then choked on her words, and then Virgil looked at her and smirked, "Oh wait what? Continue, please."

Elizabeth, who had a big smile on her face leaned over towards Satellizer and laughed, "Oh yes. Please Satellizer, continue."

Satellizer then cleared her throat and lifted her glass of wine and took a sip. Satellizer then coughed, "I'd rather not."

"Harsh." Andre laughed, then Saeko shook her head, "You poor girl." Satellizer then glared at Saeko, "Oh, by the way, Saeko. How are you and Ben doing?"

Saeko's look of interest turned into a look of disgust, "Excuse me? Tennyson? No way. That's disgusting."

Satellizer shook her head, "Are you sure about that? I'm sure he's totally into you." Saeko then leaned forward, "I'm sure he's definitely into me, but he's also an immature boy. I'll leave him for Mirajane."

"Wow wow wow!" Virgil quickly leaned forward and nudged Saeko, "Does Mirajane like Ben as much as Ben likes Mirajane?"

Saeko looked at Virgil and then nodded, "I can't exactly confirm that...but I can confirm that someone is constantly talking about how Tennyson is very sexy in their opinion."

"Gross." Satellizer sighed, then Virgil nodded in satisfaction, "My man Ben. I knew he and Mirajane were going to make it together."

Elizabeth then raised her eyebrows, "So...are we about to gossip about relationships in your team now?"

Virgil then smirked, "I may be a guy, but I do like an innocent gossip-"

Elizabeth then nodded, "So how do you feel about Satellizer?" Virgil's eyes bucked at Elizabeth, who smirked at him, and then Satellizer blushed hard and growled to Elizabeth, "How is that harmless?!"

Saeko then nodded, "We're just talking, Satellizer. Don't be such a hard ass." Satellizer then turned and growled, "How about you don't talk about my butt?!"

Virgil then quickly said, "How about this? I feel about Satellizer, like Superboy feels about Moka."

Satellizer then blushed remembering what Moka told her earlier. Satellizer then looked at Virgil and quickly said, "You do?!" Satellizer then blushed and began tapping her fingers together. Saeko then sighed and said, "Have you ever talked to Superboy about how he feels about Moka?"

Virgil looked at Saeko and nodded, "Of course I have. We talk all the time. About Moka, Satellizer, you, and Mirajane."

"What?!" Saeko quickly growled and leaned over to Virgil, "What exactly do you talk about?"

Virgil then gulped, "Come on. It's me and Superboy we're talking about. It's not like we talk to Takumi about you ladies. Then I'd let you beat the crap out of me. We talk about how cute you guys are."

Satellizer then blushed and then nudged Virgil, "You're not too bad yourself, Virg."

Virgil and Satellizer looked at each other and then Elizabeth smirked, "Oh, you two are so cute. Why can't you just pair up now?" Elizabeth then gasped and nodded, "Oh, maybe it's because of that Kaho Hiiragi-"

"Who?!" Saeko asked, then Virgil smiled, "Kaho?"

"KAHO?!" Satellizer winched and then looked at Virgil, "It better not be."

"What better not be?!" Virgil quickly asked, then Elizabeth laughed, "Oh, you two are too adorable."

---

After a good hour of random gossip and talking, Elizabeth had broken out some very expense and strong wine. Saeko grinned at the wine and laughed, "Let's see if this can get to me!"

"What?" Andre asked, then Saeko winked at him, "Oh, nothing."

Satellizer blinked at the wine and then shrugged, "Let me try some of that. Virgil?" Virgil looked at the wine bottle then he shook his head, "No thanks. The last high school party I went to with beer ended with a city wide power outage, and my secret identity nearly being revealed. I'm good."

"Sounds like another great story you should tell." Elizabeth said, as she poured all the teens, one minus Virgil, a glass of the elegant wine. Everyone then lifted their glasses as Elizabeth raised her's and looked around, "To new friends, new relationships, and new beginnings."

"Cheers!" All the teens said, then sipped from their glasses. As another two hours went by, and more than four of the expensive wine bottles were burnt through, all the teenagers, saved Virgil, Andre, and Saeko looked down for the count.

Virgil looked at Satellizer, who gently rested her head on Virgil's shoulder and continued to listen to Elizabeth's crazy rant, "And then, Chiffon just lifted her up and slammed her against the wall. Over...and over...and over. Until we began to see that girl's skull...and brain matter-"

"That's enough." Virgil said as he put his fingers up and pinched his nose in frustration. Satellizer then giggled and said, "Can you not hold your little stomach, Virgil?" Virgil sniffed the air then realized that Satellizer stunk of booze.

Saeko yawned when she saw the clock on the wall said, '2:47 A.M.' Saeko then lifted herself from the table and stretched. Saeko then lifted her wine glass and slurped the rest of the wine out of her glass.

Andre then blinked, "Wow..."

Elizabeth then shook her head, "Hold on, lady...if you drink like that...you'll be duper super vulnerable-"

Saeko then smirked and put her wine glass down, "My body burns through all this alcohol faster than I can put it in me. Too bad I can't say the same for you."

"Wow..." Andre blinked and shook his head, "You're a teenager, the same age of a college student, and you can't get drunk? That's crazy."

Saeko then looked at Andre and then said, "You didn't drink much either, Andre. You don't like wine?"

Andre then smirked, "I don't like drinking when Elizabeth is drinking. She can get pretty crazy, and I like to remember EVERYTHING that happens during this period of time."

Elizabeth tugged on Andre and laughed, "I know you do, don't you."

Saeko then looked at everyone and nodded, "Well, I guess I'll leave you guys to it. Good night everyone."

Saeko then turned and walked out of the restaurant, and then Satellizer slurred her words, "Taht suonds good to me." Satellizer tried to lift herself up, but then the wine she had drank began to take affect and she stumbled back into her chair. Satellizer then grumbled, "Hat dnam show boff."

"Oh dear." Elizabeth laughed, "Someone can't held there liquor." Elizabeth then stood with Andre supporting her, and Andre nodded, "Virgil, can I trust that Satellizer will make it to her room without anything shady happening?"

Virgil then became flustered and he nodded, "I would never do anything like that to Satellizer." Satellizer then growled, "I would never let him do anything like that to me." Satellizer then sighed and said, "Virgil. Take me back home. Pretty please."

Elizabeth and Andre nodded to the Pandora and the Bang Baby, "Good night you two."

---

Virgil carried Satellizer on his back, as she continued to hiccup and randomly rant about crazy off the wall subjects and topics. Virgil started making his way down their floor's hallway, as Satellizer continued, "But I told her...she was crazy! She was all like, 'I'm the God Speed of the Weast...or something like that."

"Yeah, you showed her who's boss," Virgil laughed, then Satellizer leaned her head ontop of his head, "Yeah. It took her about four seconds to take me down. She wasn't all that fast..."

"You Pandora sure are scary." Virgil laughed, then Satellizer frowned at Virgil, "You don't think I'm scary do you?"

Virgil then smirked, "Nah, you're okay."

Satellizer then continued on her random rant, "You know, Virgy. I can walk by meself." As Satellizer said this, she wrapped her legs around Virgil's chest, and then he nervously laughed, "Of course. Of course. Look we've already reached your room."

Virgil looked around Satellizer's hotel room, and he realized that everything was well organized and put together. Virgil thought, 'Even for a teenage girl, Satellizer's a neat freak.

Satellizer laid in her bed, while Virgil began to tuck her under the covers, Satellizer then muttered, "Take my Volt Texture off first, you big dumby. It's so damn stuffy in here. I can barely breath."

Virgil looked at Satellizer, who was sweating under her usual red Volt Texture. Virgil then rolled his eyes and laughed, "You can do that yourself, Satellizer. You're the big dumby."

Satellizer blushed then nodded and giggled, revealing she was a bit too intoxicated, "You're right, Virgil." Satellizer then lifted herself off the bed, and now she was one her knees on the bed, right in front of Virgil.

Satellizer then laughed, "Volt Texture disengage." Satellizer's clothing then disappeared, revealing only a red lacy bra, and red lacy panties. Virgil saw this, and he gulped and turned away, "Um...I'm sorry."

Satellizer looked down and then crossed her arms in front of herself and giggled, "Sorry about that, Virgil!" Satellizer then looked at Virgil and then she smiled as she crawled under her covers.

Virgil then quickly said to himself, "I'll let myself out then, Satellizer." Satellizer then heard Virgil begin to open the door and she then forced out of her mouth, "Virgil..."

Virgil stopped in his tracks. Virgil then gulped, "Yes, Satellizer." Satellizer then lifted out of her bed and wrapped her arms around Virgil's neck. Virgil blushed as her face and his were only inches away from each other.

Satellizer then said with teary eyes, "I'm a monster...I don't deserve you in my life." Virgil heard this and then he started, "Satellizer-"

"But if you stay with me..." Satellizer leaned in on Virgil, "I will try to become your best partner, Virgil Hawkins. I...will be yours...and you will be...mine."

Virgil blushed as Satellizer moved in to kiss him on his lips, but then as he closed his eyes and moved in on her, Satellizer then drove her head forward and headbutted Virgil. Virgil then cried out in pain, "OHH!"

Virgil grabbed for his head, but then grabbed for Satellizer's unconscious body before she hit the floor. Satellizer then began snoring very loud in Virgil's arms. Virgil grabbed his head and then growled, "Oh...I'm going to need ice for that."

Satellizer then moaned in her sleep, "Virgil...my only...partner..."

Virgil then became flustered and then he gulped, "Oh Satellizer...you big dumby."

---

Satellizer's eyes jerked opened, and she quickly lifted herself out of bed. Satellizer looked around and then grabbed her head, as it began to pound. "Ugh..."

Satellizer rubbed a red bump that was on her forehead, "What the hell happened last night..." Satellizer then remembered having Virgil in her room. Satellizer then looked down and saw that she was not wearing anything but a skimpy bra and panties.

Satellizer then gulped, "Did...Virgil see me in this...junk..." Satellizer put her hands in her face, "Oh no...no no no! I'm such an idiot."

Satellizer looked in the mirror and realized that she had fallen asleep in her make up. Satellizer blushed extremely hard and thought to herself, 'I fell asleep in my make up...I'm such a mess.' Satellizer then became even more flustered, 'I was hammered...and Virgil must have taken me back to my room...' Satellizer then grabbed her chest and tried to cover her large breast that poked out of her bra, 'If I was that drunk...he could have done anything he wanted to me...and I would have been at his mercy...'

Satellizer pulled on a white robe and then opened the door and walked out of her room. Satellizer stumbled down the hallway until she made it to the lobby area of her floor. There she saw Virgil eyeing the Metropolis news very carefully.

Satellizer gulped, 'What do I tell him...what do I say?' Satellizer was about to say something and then she heard behind her, "There you are!" Satellizer jumped in fear and turned to see Takumi walking towards her with a cautious look on his face.

Satellizer shook her head and asked, "What are you talking about, Takumi?"

Takumi then smirked and nodded, "I was worried you were too hammered to even wake up and eat any breakfast."

Satellizer looked down at Virgil, who looked up from the TV and then nodded to her, "Good morning, sleepy head."

Satellizer blushed extremely hard and then turned and sped walked into the kitchen. In the kitchen she found Spiderman, Elizabeth, Saeko, and surprisingly Azari all together.

Takumi then followed Satellizer and Virgil was right behind the two.

"Good morning everyone." Azari nodded to the three Titans who just entered into the room.

"Where's Moka and Superboy?" Satellizer asked as she rubbed her head, and then Saeko nodded, "Moka called early this morning and said that her and Superboy were...bunking over at Rias' house in Japan."

"Wow...that's-" Virgil started, but then he gulped and stopped.

"Steamy." Takumi finished and then chuckled, "Can you imagine that bedroom?" Satellizer then shook her head and then said, "That's gross and I wouldn't want to think about that at all."

"You probably would want to think about Virgil." Saeko laughed and then Satellizer blushed and then growled, "Shut up, Saeko."

Saeko giggled but then Spiderman then joined in, "Oh come on. We all get that he's hot."

"HE IS NOT!" Satellizer blushed and cried out, but then Virgil then sighed, "Wow...thanks. That hurt...alot."

Satellizer then turned and quickly said, "WAIT! I didn't mean to say you aren't hot! It's just..." Satellizer's face was then consumed with heat and she looked at Azari, "Um...have you found your Vibranium yet?"

Azari then shook his head, "No. It is still missing. After your team lost it-"

Spiderman then nodded, "That is because Virgil was too busy absorbing a nuclear bomb into his body." Spiderman then gave Virgil a thumbs up with his red and black web covered hand.

Azari then nodded to Virgil, "If I did not say so before, that was incredible what you did, Virgil. And also very brave."

Virgil rubbed his hand, and laughed, "Thanks, it was nothing all that big."

Satellizer then shook her head, "Don't sell yourself short. That was amazing what you did. You saved the team, Virgil."

Elizabeth then smiled at Virgil, "You are exactly the man I need, Virgil." Satellizer heard this, and she darted her eyes at Elizabeth in a bit of a fearful way, thinking, 'Has Elizabeth…offered Virgil something…like that?'

Takumi then snapped his fingers, and chuckled, "I knew it. You like chocolate."

Elizabeth heard this, and she looked at Takumi, then Virgil, and then she started laughing, "No…that's not what I meant. I have Andre. Virgil…did you really not tell them…about what we've been talking about?"

Virgil shook his head, "That's none of their business. That's our business." Virgil stood, and then Elizabeth smiled, "Does that mean you accept?"

Virgil then felt a warm hand touch his shoulder. Virgil looked over to see Satellizer grabbing his shoulder. Satellizer then forced out of her mouth, "Virgil…I need to talk to you."

Virgil nodded, "Sure thing." Virgil and Satellizer walked out, and then Takumi asked, "Where are you two going?"

Satellizer then growled back to Takumi, "The roof. I don't want to see anyone there, okay?"

"No promises." Takumi laughed, then Virgil turned and growled, "I'll fry you to a crisp, if either of us see you."

Virgil and Satellizer walked out of the room, and Elizabeth grew a sincere motherly smile, "Oh, I hope she doesn't blow it."

Azari then looked at Spiderman, "I needed to talk to you about something, Spiderman."

"What is it, Azari?" Spiderman asked, as Saeko slid in her seat, with hot tea in her cup. Takumi picked up a piece of cheese toast, and he sat down and took a bite of his toast, making a loud, CRUNCH.

"Are you still interested in looking for the Church of Natural Divine Light?" Azari asked, then Takumi answered with toast still in his mouth, "Is that a trick question? Of course we are. But we haven't gotten anywhere with it."

"We?" Saeko asked, looking at both Spiderman and Takumi, "We haven't founded the team for more than a week, and you've been looking for a secret organization under our noses?"

Takumi shook his head, "No. I meant we as in, my harem and I. We've been tracking the Divine Light, but every time we get close, it turns out to be a bust operation, with a loose end sect of it. We haven't hit any big sects, or found any big guns."

Takumi then sighed, "I didn't even know Hazuki was still alive."

"Hazuki?" Spiderman asked, and looked at Elizabeth, who listened closely to the situation. Spiderman then continued, "So the nurse's name is Hazuki?"

"That is correct, Spiderman." Azari nodded, and then looked at Takumi, "I am assuming she is the head of the Church of Natural Divine Light now."

"I'd put money on it." Takumi looked at Azari, and then raised an eyebrow, "Why does it matter to you, hairball?"

Azari looked at Saeko, then Spiderman, "I can help you track down the Natural Divine Light, and put an end to their reign of terror."

"Really?" Spiderman asked, then nodded, "Thanks, Azari."

Saeko then put her hand to Spiderman's face, "No, you idiot." Saeko stood and narrowed her eyes at Azari, "He's asking to join our team."

"Really?" Takumi asked, then he raised an eyebrow, "How despair must you be to want to join us?"

Azari then leaned over and said to Takumi, "How desperate would you be, if the people you loved were in danger of being killed, kidnapped, or tortured by madmen?"

Azari then nodded, "I read your file, Takumi Nishigou. I know that you did everything you could to protect your friend, Rimi, from Darkseid and Vilgax. If you must call me desperate, because I just want to protect my friends, my family, my country, and the legacy my father has left on my shoulders, feel free to."

Saeko blinked at Azari's sheer determination. She then shook her head, "I don't trust you. Not at all. We don't even know each other."

"That is true." Azari asked, "But, allow me to earn your trust. Allow me to fight beside you. To protect the weak, and serve justice to those who hurt others."

Spiderman blinked and then looked at Saeko, who blushed at Azari's words, then Spiderman nodded, "No killing."

Azari narrowed his eyes at him, and then asked, "Only while I am a Titan?"

Spiderman then shook his head, "You will always be a face of the Titans. You will not kill."

"I am the King of Wakanda. If someone dares step against my people, I will fight to defend them. And I fight to kill." Azari said bluntly, and then Saeko nodded, "No killing."

Azari blinked and then grunted in frustration, and then he sighed, "I will…agree to that. Until I can show you what my duties of a king are."

Takumi then crunched on his toast, and then laughed, "I can't believe Saeko, our ex-assassin, just convinced someone that killing was wrong."

Saeko looked at Takumi, and he gulped down his grilled cheese, and then Azari raised an eyebrow at Saeko, "I assumed you had some kind of special fighting background. Your skills are amazing."

Saeko shook her head, "I don't really want compliments from you. The next condition, we don't want anymore of your half-truths. If we are heading into fire, we want to know we're heading into fire. Don't tell us after we've suffered from first degree burns."

Takumi heard this, and he looked at Saeko, and growled, "That's in bad taste. If I couldn't heal my body, I'd be really messed up. And it would not be pretty."

"It'd be an improvement." Spiderman laughed, then he looked at Azari, "Here's the deal breaker, though."

Azari nodded, "What is it?"

Spiderman then sighed and nodded, "Everyone on the team has to agree to want you here."

Takumi pulled out his phone, and put it to his ear. Azari looked at Takumi, and he asked, "What are you doing, Takumi?"

Takumi then said on the phone, "Hey, Moka." Takumi then waited a few seconds and growled, "I don't care if the flight attendant said put the phone away, I needed to tell you something. Satellizer and Virgil, went up to the roof to talk. You think they're going…you know?"

Takumi then looked at Azari, and then nodded, "Oh yeah. And what do you think about cat-boy being on the team?"

---

"What is it, Satellizer?" Virgil asked, as the two made it to the roof, and Satellizer walked over to the edge of the building, and looked down at all Metropolis.

Satellizer turned as Virgil walked over to her, "Virgil. Can I…see your hand?"

Virgil looked at Satellizer, and then he shrugged, "What ever." Virgil lifted his hand in the air, and then Satellizer stared at it for a second, then she asked, "Do you trust me?"

Virgil laughed, "What kind of question is that?"

Satellizer then turned on her serious demeanor, "Do you trust me or not?"

Virgil then pulled his hand away from her, "When you're like that, I don't."

Virgil then growled, "Jeez. I'm tired of this pointless backwards and forwards. I'm tired of playing tug of war with my heart, Satellizer. This isn't fair for me. That I've been nice to you, and I've tried to be your friend. But you've never even tried to understand me."

Satellizer then sighed, "Virgil, listen."

Virgil shook his head, "I want to go somewhere with you, Satellizer. I want to be your friend. I want to be there for you. I want to protect you. But if you're going to be so closed off, then I won't let myself go down this path."

Satellizer then gulped and forced out, "I want to go somewhere with you too."

Virgil then raised an eyebrow, "Where is that?"

Satellizer then reached her hand out, then it touched Virgil's cheek. Virgil and Satellizer looked at each other for a minute, then Virgil gulped, "You…are touching me."

"I know." Satellizer said, and a smile crept on her face, "You're the first person I've been able to touch…in a long time. When Moka touches me, I can tolerate it, but it still feels terrible. But you…at first it was strange, but now, it's okay. I don't feel the pain and suffering I use to feel."

Virgil reached his hand up, and took Satellizer's hand in his own, "I don't know what made you like this, Satellizer. But I want you to know, I'd never want to hurt you in anyway."

Satellizer then smiled, "I want to be more opened with you. You're my teammate, Virgil. And…"

"And?" Virgil tilted his head, and Satellizer forced it out of her mouth, "When…I'm comfortable and ready…you will be…my partner…"

"Partner?" Virgil asked, then Satellizer then turned away, "Please, don't tease me. You…know what I mean. My limiter…if you want to be."

Virgil then thought about himself, 16 year old, and Satellizer a 17 year old, as Pandora and Limiter. Virgil's thoughts started to run wild, as he thought of all a Limiter could do to his Pandora partner the night of the baptism.

Virgil gulped and then Satellizer smiled at him again, "So…will we…be friends again?"

Virgil blinked at her, "When…weren't we friends?"

Satellizer then let go of Virgil's hands, and then she and Virgil blushed at one another. Virgil then smiled, "So…when is the wedding date?"

Satellizer laughed and nudged Virgil, "Don't push it, okay. Just because…we're partners, doesn't mean we're going out, or that we like each other. We're just respectfully agreeing that we both can trust one another."

Virgil smiled at this, and then nodded, "I can agree to that, Satellizer."

Satellizer then sighed in relief, "I'm very glad."

---

"Where is it?" A gang banger in a Starling City alley heard, as he tossed on the ground by a young lady with blue hair. This girl was the same girl that assisted Takumi and Satellizer in the Nazomi Tech prison (way back in chapter 4).

The girl lifted up the thug, "A shipment came into the docks tonight. It had a legendary weapon, that holds uncharted powers. I need to know where it is."

The thug spit in the girl's face, "Go to hell, bitch." The girl wiped the spit off her face, then head butted the man. She then snapped her fingers, and her holy sword, Excalibur appeared in her left hand, and she growled, "I will give you an express ticket there, mortal."

"What are you doing with that, you crazy bitch?!" The thug asked in fear, then the girl growled, "My name is not bitch. It's Xenovia. And I am here to find something very important."

Xenovia then slashed the sword down on the thug.
