"I'm sorry Robin." Zatanna mumbled as he placed on his mask and shirt.
"It's not your fault." He said looking back at Superboy who had continued working out.
"I better go tell her it wasn't what she saw…" Zatanna smiled
"Thank you." Robin smiled back. Zatanna nodded and walked out of the room.

"Booyah!" Miss Martian giggled, since she had just destroyed Cyborg's ship in the video game
"I thought you said you weren't very good." Cyborg said laughing
"I am not. Wally and Artemis are. However, they argue so much afterwards we really don't like them to play. You should see them go at it." Miss Martian joked
"I can hear you, you know." Artemis said from the side couch where she was flipping through some old books Raven left behind.
"Well in the tower, I'm the video game champ." Cyborg said prestigiously
"More like in your dreams." Beastboy scoffed from the kitchen
Starfire entered the room and walked towards the kitchen. She opened it and grabbed her self a soda. She sat next to Beastboy as she drank. "What is that?" Artemis said reaching behind her to grab her bow
"What?" Beastboy asked looking behind Star at what Artemis was referring to
"That." She pointed, slowly loading her bow
"Oh, don't shoot!" Beastboy said standing in the way. He picked up the pink and white smiling worm-like creature. "It's just Silky."
"Who?" Miss Martian looked back to face it "It's so cute!" She jumped up and rushed to Beastboy's side to get a better look of Silky.
"More like creepy." Artemis mumbled placing her arrow and bow back
"He is so cute! Is he like your pet?" Miss Martian asked
"Yes. I am his kanurfkub." Starfire grinned
"Starfire." Zatanna said as the door zoomed open. Starfire looked over at her. Her fists clenched but she said nothing. "We need to talk."
"We do not." Starfire replied looking back to Silky
"I don't want you to get the wrong idea." Zatanna said as the door zoomed open to reveal Robin and Superboy.
Robin looked at Starfire and she looked back. The two shared a stare before she looked back at Silky. "Star-" but Robin was cut off by the giant screen warning of an incoming message from the Justice League watchtower. "Justice League?" He asked himself walking towards the front of the room
"Should I… accept the call?" Cyborg asked facing Robin. The boy wonder nodded.
"Beastboy, go and get Terra and Raven. Miss Martian, tell Kid Flash to report." As soon as Robin looked back to the monitor, he saw the one and only dark knight.
"Robin." Batman addressed him
"Batman." Robin replied. What was he supposed to say?
"What do you guys want?" Kid Flash asked as he entered the room with Beastboy, Terra, and Raven.
"Your help." Batman replied simply
"With what?" Superboy asked
"The injustice league."
"What about them?" Artemis asked
"Confidential details."
"No details. No help." Kid Flash said
"You will be briefed after we're sure you'll help." Batman said becoming frustrated
"The Titans are in." Robin said nonchalant
"What?" Superboy asked him softly
No response. "Fine." Artemis rolled her eyes. "We're in too." No one protested.
"Very well. Meet us at Mnt. Justice. You're mission briefing is now. Don't be late." Batman's face went off the screen and instead the clear view of Jump City was seen.
Silence. "You heard him. Let's go." Robin said emotionless as he began to walk towards the garage.

"You're late." Batman informed as the ten heroes entered the room.
"We just traveled half the country in twenty minutes!" Kid Flash protested
"Twenty minutes the injustice league has used to their advantage." Superman added
"We can't all fly." Superboy said bitterly at Superman
"You need our help?" Robin asked
"The injustice league has been reassembling." Black Canary informed
"Poison Ivy, Queen Bee, Lex Luther, the Joker…, and one you Titan's know. Killer Moth. They call themselves the new injustice league." Wonder Woman stated
"If the killer moth is involved, does that not mean the Kitten is as well?" Starfire asked aloud
"We have Intel Killer moth's daughter was broken out jail. But her connection towards the new injustice league is still undermined." Red Tornado said
"I guess I am no longer the only girl you have need to rid of Zatanna." Starfire said, "Although, Robin has made it obvious… you are-"
"Starfire-"
Robin was about to begin, his tone apologetic but Batman cleared his throat and interrupted him "What we need you to do is simple."
"Stop the new injustice league?" Beastboy offered
"We have knowledge that you have contacts all over the world." Red Tornado said
"That we do." Cyborg said
"We want you to warn all your contacts to keep a look out for any new suspicious activity in their countries. So far we have nothing on which to catch the new injustice league but a group of bad guys banding together never spells a good thing." Superman said.
"You couldn't have told us that from the tower?" Artemis asked
"No." Batman said narrowing his eyes at her, "You need to come back. You're missing your school duties."
"Senior year isn't to be taken lightly." Black Canary warned
"They'll return to school. And we'll warn our contacts." Robin assured
"But Rob-" M'gann was about to protest but a look from the Titan's leader and she stopped in her tracks. Robin looked back to Batman's emotionless face, mimicking his expression. "We'll return to school."
"At Jump city." Superboy crossed his arms.
Robin said nothing. "Yeah. You all seemed to have got it covered around here." Artemis said
"There are plenty of good schools around in Jump city." Zatanna informed looking at doctor fate.
"Ah… dude?" Beastboy asked Robin
"If Robin has no problem allowing you to stay in the tower I don't see why that would be a problem." Black Canary smiled
"I see many different problems." Raven muttered, loud enough that they all heard her
"We better go." Cyborg looked at his wrist "Word just got out that we left Jump. It won't be too late now before they baddies come out to play." Robin nodded and they all turned to leave.
"We'll be in touch." Batman said as the doors opened for the teens.

"That was so weak!" Kid Flash exclaimed as they walked towards the bioship and T-ship.
"Yeah. I bet they made that up just to get us to come back." Artemis said
"How would they know of Killer Moth?" Starfire asked
"Ah, duh. It's called the internet." Zatanna informed
"We lose nothing by telling our contacts to keep a look out." Terra said
"You mean 'our' contacts." Raven said. 'I know you don't like her.' And 'You can help me'. Running through her mind. Red X's words. However, thinking of his words also made her think of his kiss. Their kiss. Although she wouldn't admit it, not even to herself, Raven enjoyed the kiss. The way his gloved hand had caressed her face and ran through her hair finally intertwining with her own.
"Enough." Robin ordered. The overwhelming feeling of guilt had struck him as soon as he stepped off the T-ship and onto the cave. "You're giving me a headache."
"Maybe Zatanna can cure that for you." Starfire said as she floated into her seat.
Robin sighed glumly as he climbed into his. "Raven. What your problem?" Terra asked yelling, "Why do you hate me?"
Raven sighed in frustration and kept floating by "Do you have to ask?"
"How many more times do I have to say 'I'm sorry' for you to stop treating me like the enemy?" Terra asked anger in her tone
"How about you stop saying it and just leave again?" Raven said looking back to Beastboy who was silently staring at her. Raven floated into her seat. 'You can help me.'
"She loves me too, huh?" Terra asked Beastboy as she used her rocks to climb into the T-ship.
"Drama. Drama. Drama." Miss Martian sighed, "Is this what we teenagers are doomed to be?"
"Well… look at us." Cyborg smiled "I guess so." Miss Martian smiled back but got hint of Super boy's discontent as he climbed aboard the bioship.
"I better get in." She smiled and followed. Cyborg nodded and climbed aboard the T-ship.
