The kids soon went to explore the movie studio while Darla gave them a tour around to keep busy as the Teen Titans seemed to leave after Jade and Robin left. As they continued walking around, they saw a closet door thumping, as well as muffled shouting coming from inside.

"Aunt Darla, what was that?" Vincent asked.

"Hmm... I'm not sure..." Darla replied. "I hope it's not an animal in trouble."

"I thought you hated animals?" Gaz asked.

"I've changed, all right?" Darla told her with an exhausted sigh.

"It's true," LJ replied. "But that didn't sound like an animal."

Darla went to go and see what all the fuss was about with the kids behind her.

LJ held his hands out. "Somebody hand me a crowbar, please?" he asked.

Kimberly soon handed him one which seemed to be off-screen. "Here you go." she then said.

"Thanks." LJ replied, as he jammed it into the door, and pried it open, and out fell Jade Wilson, bound and gagged.

"Ms. Wilson?" The others asked in surprised.

"Holy, Plot Twist, Adventure Friends!" Waffle cried out.

"Adventure Friends?" LJ blinked, before shaking it off. "W-Whatever... We have to find out who did this to Ms. Wilson and why."

Darla soon came to help out Jade.

"Phew! Thank you, Darla." Jade said to Darla.

"I don't understand, you just left with Robin." Darla said to her boss.

"That wasn't me..." Jade explained. "It was some weirdo in a copper mask who gassed me and tied me up, then left me in here."

"...Oh, did he...?" Darla replied suspiciously. "There's only one explanation for this."

"The Copper Cranium from The Crimson Chin!" Waffle cried out.

"No!" LJ remarked. "It was Gridlock! He must've escaped police custody and snuck over to the studio!"

"Oh... Well, that's cool too." Waffle said.

"That's just sick and wrong, even if I don't know Gridlock that well." Darla commented.

"He left me in here 2 days ago... Woke up an hour earlier," Jade explained. "He's got an explosive to destroy Titans Tower...!"

LJ shrugged. "Ah, well. Them's the breaks. What're ya gonna do?" he replied casually.

"You should get revenge, and take all of his money and whatever's he worth by taking him to court!" Mr. Blik grinned. "I'll be your lawyer."

"I think a rat would make a better lawyer than you." Zofia muttered.

"Nothing SAYS we hafta do anything to stop him right now..." LJ remarked.

"Whatya mean by that?" Zofia asked her brother.

"I mean, this is what Robin deserves!" LJ explained. "He wanted to be a star? Well, he's gonna learn that stars fall, and they fall HARD!"

"Hmm... Yes, that's true." Zofia replied.

"Exactly! So, let's wait until Gridlock enacts whatever his master plan is, and THEN we'll kick his butt." LJ explained.

"Hmm... All right... I like it..." Zofia smirked.

"See how THEY like it when nobody springs into action to help THEM!" Mr. Blik sneered.

"Take that, society." Gaz commented dryly.

"Trust me, she's excited." Dib said to the others about his creepy sister.

"She's not the only one." Nergal Jr agreed.

Gaz looked over to Nergal Jr as he seemed to smile to her, though she rolled her eyes which made LJ think of his dream.

"Whoa... Major deja-vu..." LJ said to himself.

Darla soon helped out the real Jade. The remaining Teen Titans soon came over.

"What's going on here?" Raven asked.

"Your tower just got blown to bits cuz of your so-called great leader." LJ explained.

"WHAT?!" They asked him.

"It's true," Kimberly replied before slanting her eyes. "Not like you want our help or anything."

"Yeah, you can handle it yourselves." Mr. Blik added.

"Would you guys like some snacks then?" Darla offered to the young ones.

"Wait! You can't leave yet!" Beast Boy cried out.

"I would LOVE snacks, thanks," LJ replied before turning to them. "And why's that? It's the kind of thing YOU guys would do."

"Well, we are the sorry about that." Starfire said.

"Ugh..." Zofia groaned about how that was said.

"Maybe we can all work the together." Starfire then said.

"Stop saying 'the' so often in every sentence," LJ replied. "It only makes me want to hurt you. Badly."

"Tell me about it." Zofia replied.

"What are you talking about? I have always talked like this." Starfire said.

"You've been on Earth and lived with four other English-speaking people for several years; you have zero excuse for not knowing it by now," LJ retorted. "Either learn how to properly speak the language or stop speaking altogether."

"Isn't that the racist?" Starfire narrowed her eyes.

"No, because you guys haven't been to different countries," LJ replied. "And if you did, you four would probably ruin things there, too."

"Plus, you DO live with four others who fluently speak English, so the only excuse you have for not knowing how to speak proper English is being an idiot," Mr. Blik replied. "Even your sister knows better English!"

"Yeah, I never really understood that myself." Darla commented.

"What's to understand? They're a bunch of idiots who have no business being heroes!" LJ remarked.

The Teen Titans looked angered.

"Now, if you'll excuse us..." Darla said, taking the others to get some snacks, leaving the Teen Titans.

"I hope there's fried bananas." Lu commented.

"I'll see, Mami." Raul told her.

"As they say in Russian, dasvidanya, lame-o's!" LJ snickered.

The group soon walked off to take a snack break while the Teen Titans felt insulted.


And so, the snack break came and went.

"Hmm... I feel a bit fatigue..." Zofia let out a small yawn.

"I wonder why?" LJ asked.

"I think I just ate too many turkey sandwiches," Zofia replied. "You know what turkey can do to your body."

"Yeah, I feel that way whenever I eat my Abuela's chulupas." Kimberly nodded.

LJ shook his head in a chastising manner. "Alas, such is life; you'll recover soon."

"Just don't eat too many sweets, young ones," Darla said. "I used to eat a lot of sweets when I was a child."

"Did you ever get sick?" Akito asked.

"Oh, sure," Darla nodded. "When I was a kid, I always ate candy, cookies, and cakes... I thought I looked a little chubby, but my agent said it would make me look cute."

LJ glanced at an old picture of her, handed to him by Lancelot. "I guess it worked..." he remarked.

"Yes, I suppose," Darla replied. "People just loved a cute and sweet little girl like me."

"Even though it was just for the public eye," LJ replied. "Your kid self looked a LOT like Mary Dahl."

"Yeah, that's what your mother said," Darla nodded. "That's why I dressed up as her for Halloween one year."

"You don't say? How ironic..." LJ remarked.

"And now I'm one of the world's greatest aunts." Darla smiled to Akito, Estelle, and Vincent.

"You sure are!" The Fudo twins beamed to Darla.

LJ shrugged. "Guess I'll take your word for it."

"But that doesn't mean you two can't be my niece and nephew either," Darla smiled as she put her arms around LJ and Zofia. "Your mother is a good friend of mine after all since Atticus became my big brother," she then narrowed her eyes. "Until she started pranking me and teasing me, and when I got my first zit in middle school, she called me Darla Pimple."

LJ stifled a snicker at the sound of that.

"But still, you two can call me Aunt Darla too if you would like." Darla smiled.

"Hmm... Okay!" LJ nodded.

"Adfinitate coniungitur." Zofia said.

"...That's a mouthful, whatever it means." Darla commented.

"All right, I'll stick with Aunt then." Zofia said.

"Good idea," LJ replied. "Especially for those out there who aren't so fluent in Latin."

"She loves her Latin, huh?" Darla commented.

"You have no idea," Gordon replied. "The lass reminds me of myself since I'm Scottish and me brothers aren't."

"Maybe your parents were Scottish?" Darla suggested.

"...I don't remember much about our mother," Gordon replied. "I've always loved her name though... Audrey..."

"He mentions that a LOT." Mr. Blik replied.

Gordon then smiled about their long-lost mother with a small sigh.

"I miss Mrs. Cramdilly!" Waffle yelled out.

"I miss her too, Waff." Mr. Blik sighed as he patted his brother on the back.

"We all do..." Gordon said.

"Who is that again?" Dib asked.

"She owned the mansion we live in now," Waffle said. "She took very good care of us."

"And then she croaked, and left everything in the will to us," Mr. Blik explained. "That included a crapton of cash AND a gigantic mansion."

"Maybe Dad will leave me his science lab," Dib beamed. "Someday, I wanna meet Agents Mulder and Sculley."

"Maybe," Gaz replied. "If he doesn't have you thrown in some hi-tech asylum for believing in aliens."

"Ah, Dad will understand me someday, you'll see." Dib said to his sister.

Gaz rolled her eyes in response.

"What?!" Dib pouted.

"So, what do we do now with the fake Jade Wilson?" Gaz asked the others while finishing up some pizza that was given to her.

"Wait until she enacts her plan, then stop her." LJ replied.

"Put your acting lessons into good use," Darla advised. "Keep up appearances."

"Yes, Aunt Darla." Akito and Estelle smiled as that always helped them in situations like this.

"Can-do!" LJ nodded.

"I was born to be on stage!" Zofia beamed, spreading out her arms.

"Jeez, you're starting to sound like Lu!" Og snickered.

Lu sent a look over to her cousin and even Lancelot seemed to snicker at that. Og shrugged with a smirk.

"You are a bit of an actress, Mami." Raul commented.

"Ha, ha." Lu muttered to her son.

"Sometimes it's a good thing." Manny replied.

"Aw, ya mean it, Manny?~" Lu cooed to him.

"Of course I do!" Manny smiled.

"Aw, Manny~" Lu smiled back before kissing him.

"You knew our parents too, right?" Zofia asked Manny and Lu.

"Well, Manny mostly does," Lu replied. "They've had some adventures together. I met them once when we were told about something called The Book of Life when Manny was still in school and had a field trip to a museum, and we were told about the one called Xibalba who was the Ruler of the Land of the Forgotten."

"Must've been one heck of an adventure." LJ replied.

"Oh, but it was," Lu replied. "I never thought I'd meet the one they call Cherry."

"It's one of my favorite stories," Raul said to his new friends. "It's a nice Day of the Dead tradition. Maybe you guys could come celebrate with us sometime."

"Sounds cool to me!" LJ replied.

"Ah, excellent!" Raul beamed. "I just hope my Grandpa Wendell doesn't make a boring speech before dinner again..."

"Ah, I'm sorry about that, sweetie," Lu cooed. "Your grandfather just gets over the top sometimes, especially when it comes to important gatherings. He's an island governor after all."

"I know..." Raul replied.

Lancelot nodded to Raul as he could understand that a little.

"I'm fine as long as those Eagle Twins don't show up." Manny rolled his eyes.

"Those guys are jerks." LJ remarked.

"Ugh! You bet they are!" Manny replied. "I've had enough trouble with them when I was in school!"

"They might as well be Cuzzlewitz." Lu added.

"What in the world is Cuzzlewitz?" Zofia asked.

LJ shrugged.

"The Cuzzlewitz? HA! There are no such thing," Lu smirked, pinching her cheek. "Next, she'll be asking about the Easter Bunny."

"They're from the other side of our island," Og informed despite his cousin's nay-saying. "Their parents and our parents don't get along."

"So Lu has more-or-less decided to ignore their existence altogether." Mike concluded.

"Ah..." The others then said in understanding.

"If you guys are done eating, then let's take care of this so-called Jade Wilson and her new movie." Mike then told the others.

"Oh, okay, Aunt Mike!" LJ smiled as he dusted himself off.

Mike gave a small smile back as she liked the sound of that, mostly because she hated being called 'Michelene'. "Too bad Action Guy isn't here," she then said to herself. "I'm sure he could help give this Gridlock fella a good kick of action!"

"Yeah, that could be cool." LJ replied before scribbling it down on a notepad labeled "movie concepts".

"Aw, thanks, buddy," Mike smiled. "Action Guy was always my biggest role model when I was a kid."

"He sounds like Superman." Vincent commented.

"Eh, I guess you could say that." Mike shrugged.

"Probably a coincidence." LJ shrugged as they got into a nearby golf cart.

"Let's rock!" Mike told everyone, rising a fist as she hadn't changed much from childhood.

LJ stepped on the gas and drove the golf cart out the door; outside, they saw multiple superheroes now having glowing magenta eyes.
