"Alright, we won!" Bat-Mite beamed. "Now, what's with the look on your face, LG? We all beat the bad guy, and we had fun doing it, too!"
"Oh, I'm just thinking." Lady Gothika shrugged, shuffling her foot a bit.
"It was what I said during the tornado attack, right?" Bat-Mite asked.
"I'm just not used to being showered in compliments." Lady Gothika smiled bashfully.
"Maybe it's because you spend your free time insulting people." Yang smirked.
"Not now," Bat-Mite snapped. "Well, I like you a lot. Of course I'm gonna compliment ya. Even if in one timeline set in Victorian London, you're a high-class society girl and I happen to be part of a group of lovable, trouble-making yet well-intentioned street urchins!"
"Oh, don't get crazy now." Lady Gothika rolled her eyes to that.
"Yeah, like that'd ever happen." Sayia Man added after he returned back to normal after using his Kai powers.
"Hey, it's a big Multiverse," Bat-Mite replied. "You never know~"
Lady Gothika and Sayia Man just rolled their eyes as that sounded impossible, though Sayia Man did look perplexed. Kimba soon disappeared once he was done for the day.
"You okay, Raven?" Lady Gothika asked her close friend on the team.
"I-I'll be fine." Raven said softly.
Blood regained consciousness, but it wouldn't do him any good. Now that he was weakened and scrawny, he had no options left.
"Checkmate, Blood. The game is finished." Riley commented.
"Sorry, not sorry." Sayia Man added.
"I've planned so long... I was destined, can't you see?" Brother Blood gasped out. "Please, I beseech you! I am Blood! I-"
There were soon gunshots against him.
"I... Am... Blood..." Brother Blood uttered out until he fell dead, showing that Mayhem had shot him.
"What you are is DEAD," Yang scoffed. "Good riddance to big jerks, I say."
"Uh, thanks?" Sayia Man said to Mayhem.
"Saved... I won't let them cage you... My love..." Mayhem whispered, sounding slightly insane.
"The dame's nuttier than squirrel feces..." Bat-Mite whispered.
But suddenly, the team noticed the crumbling rocks falling around them.
"C'mon!" Starfire shouted, and they raced for the exit.
"Don't have to tell us twice!" Sayia Man replied as they went to run.
"Aw, Sis, it's so nice that you helped me when you did." Yang smiled to Yin.
"We're family, even if you are a pain in the butt." Yin replied.
"Same-same, Todd!" Riley replied.
"Ah, thanks!...Hey!" Todd realized.
Riley giggled to that, not-so innocently.
"Siblings." Sayia Man said.
"Oh, I'm sorry, you don't feel bad, do you?" Riley asked him.
"Not too bad, I mean, Cherry feels like a sister sometimes." Sayia Man smiled about his best friend and their relationship.
"Aw, that's nice..." Yang commented before getting serious. "NOW LET'S LEAVE ALREADY BEFORE WE GET SQUASHED!"
"What about Deathstroke?" asked Todd.
"We leave him to face his mistakes, and pay for 'em!" Yang replied. "He brought this on himself, and he can take it to his grave!"
"And Terra?" Sayia Man then asked Yang.
Yang was silent. "She's given us a way out... And this is her way of redeeming herself for all the bad things she did..." he finally spoke.
"I knew she couldn't be all bad." Sayia Man said.
Bat-Mite sighed. "I guess you were right...apology accepted, Markov..." he replied as they left.
Mayhem cradled Blood's corpse as they were crushed by a falling rock. And Terra cried out into the abyss as she used her geokinetic powers one last time to bring the temple down... With herself inside...
A few weeks later, Gar and Yang went in for their interview with Kevin Smith.
"So lemme ask you this, guys-how do you become a Titan, exactly?" asked Kevin. "I mean, is there an audition? Do ya look at videos? Cuz I been workin' out, y'know? I want in."
"Well, Kev, I guess the most important thing to being a Titan is to have a strong sense of family," Gar replied. "Some of us don't have our own, so we support the ones that do."
"Of course, a likable personality doesn't hurt, y'know, but you gotta have a power," Yang added. "Something cool!"
"Something cool-you turn into animals! And you're a martial-artist rabbit!" Kevin exclaimed. "Man, that's BEYOND cool!"
"Thanks," the boys replied. "But it's not just the cool superpowers, snazzy uniforms and daring adventures...it's about helping each other grow, be better people."
"Listen, I know you're not supposed to talk about this, but I gotta ask-there's a new girl, right?" asked Kevin.
"All I can say is, she's a Wonderful addition to the team," Yang winked.
"C'mon, guys," Kevin urged. "Starfire would kill us," Gar added. "There's no way Starfire's listening to this-she's brushing her hair!" Kevin joked.
"Forget it, my lips are sealed." Gar replied, before morphing into a seal and clapping.
"He just turned into a seal, folks; I swear," Kevin remarked. "But really, guys... Is she gonna replace Terra? There are lots of stories about her."
Yang sighed, and Gar resumed his human form. "We know."
Kevin drew in some air through his teeth. "Ooh, too soon?" he asked.
"Yeah... But we'd like to say something. There are a lot of people who've been handed a rough life. They never asked for it, but... They do what they can. Many of them can't rise above the hurt; it's just too hard. But in the end, when the chips were down, and she finally showed her true self... Terra Markov was like a diamond-the most beautiful thing we'd ever seen." Yang and Gar concluded, ending the interview as they headed home to Titans' Tower... And just in time for their next movie night...
The End
