Steel City-

It was a typical day in Steel City. The sun was shining, and the birds were singing. Unfortunately, it wasn't to last as something came crashing down to the ground, creating a crater in the concrete of the road.

'Uch. It's going to take me days to wash this stuff off my hands.' Donna Troy grimaced as she dusted some purple goo off her hands. 'Hera knows how I'm going to do tha…'

Donna's words were cut short as Plasmus, the thing she had just dropped from a great height, regained its composure and sent a stream of goop in the young Amazon's direction, and pulled her back down to the ground.

'Donna, no!' Speedy yelled as he nocked an arrow into his bow. 'You'll pay for that, you basta…'

Plasmus soon silenced the young archer as he too was encased in rapidly solidifying slime.

'Then I guess it's up to us…' Aqualad sighed as he looked at his fellow Titans. 'Got any ideas?'

'Search me.' Jade shrugged. 'You're the deputy leader. I'm just a rookie.'

Jericho shrugged his shoulders as well. The blond Titan was fresh out of ideas.

'Well, we have to think of something quick.' Aqualad told his teammates. 'Jade, can you create a giant jar or something to contain Plasmus?'

'No problem.' The green-skinned heroine nodded. 'But how are we going to get Plasmus into the jar in the first place?'

'Must you always poke holes in my cunning plans?' Aqualad sighed in exasperation.

'RWAWR!!' Plasmus yelled as he reared up to deal with the rest of the pesky young heroes.

ZORT!!

'Rrrr?' Plasmus blinked his several large green eyes as he looked at the rather large hole that had just been blown in his chest by a beam of green energy.

'Hey, don't look at me.' Jade held her hands up in innocence.

A giant green dustpan and brush then proceeded to pick Plasmus up and deposit him into an already waiting receptacle that would sedate him, returning him to his human form.

'Well, that's Plasmus taking care of.' A man with slightly greying blond hair smiled as he hovered before the heroes. He was dressed in a strange costume: A red sweater with a green train lantern emblem on it, green pants, red boots, and a purple-and-green cape with a scalloped collar. Jade groaned in realisation once she recognised who it was.

'Oh, crap.' The chartreuse-hued heroine grimaced. 'I am so totally busted.'

'Hello, Jenny.' The man smiled as he lowered himself down to the ground. 'Aren't you going to give your father a hug?'

'Father?!' Aqualad blinked in surprise. The Atlantean turned to Jade, his jaw agape. 'Your father is Alan Scott? The Alan Scott? The same Alan Scott that was Earth's first Green Lantern?'

'The one and the same.' Alan smiled. 'Although, I don't go by Green Lantern any more. It didn't seem proper seeing that I'm not an official member of the Green Lantern Corps. I go by the name Sentinel now.'

'Not that I want to break up the lovely family reunion or anything…' Speedy piped up. 'But can somebody please get us the hell out of this muck?'

Back at Titans East Tower-

Once the authorities had taken Plasmus away, the five Titans took their older guest back to the Tower with them.

'I don't want to sound like a gushing fan boy or anything, but it is an honour to have you here, sir.' Aqualad gushed as he followed the rest of his teammates into their home. 'I can't begin to tell you how cool it is to actually meet you.'

'It's an honour to meet the rest of Titans East.' Alan smiled at the young Atlantean. 'You kids do some great work.'

'So do you.' Donna chipped in. 'My mom talks about you a lot.'

'Hippolyta's a great woman.' Alan complicated with a nod. 'She certainly enjoys her work.'

'Oh, Hades…' Donna grimaced. 'What has she done now?'

'Oh, nothing…' Alan explained. 'Although, she almost ran Count Vertigo through with that sword of hers.'

'Yeah, she'll do that a lot.' Donna nodded in understanding.

'Greetings friends!' Miss Martian grinned as she flew out of the kitchen and grabbed the returning heroes with great big hugs. 'I trust it was a successful battle?'

The five Titans stood there with bemused expressions on their faces. It wasn't the hugs that surprised them, they were used to that. What confused them was the fact that Megan seemed to be wearing a traditional Roman helmet with what seemed to be the brush part of a broom attached to the top of it.

Miss Martian noticed her friends' bemused expressions and removed the helmet from her head.

'I see that you have noticed my helmet.' The green-skinned teen grinned proudly. 'I made it myself. Ooh, isn't it lovely?'

'Uh… It's just great, Marvin, uh, I mean Megan.' Speedy smiled nervously. 'Umm… are the rest of the guys here?'

'Oh, yes.' Miss Martian nodded in confirmation. 'They are all watching the television. Now, if you do not mind, I need to find my Illudium Q-36 Explosive Space Modulator.'

Jade shook her head as Miss Martian flew away.

'That girl watches way too many cartoons.'

A little later-

Alan Scott had tagged along with the five Titans when the young heroes reunited with the rest of their teammates. Megan had joined them as well after she had found what she had been looking for. Unfortunately, her experiment hadn't gone well. As could be evidenced by her slightly blackened face.

'Where was the kaboom? There was supposed to be an earth-shattering kaboom…' The young Martian sulked.

'So, Mr Scott. What brings you here?' Dolphin asked. 'This isn't just a family visit, is it?'

'What?!' Jade spluttered in disbelief. 'You mean to say that you didn't come here just to see me?'

'I'm sorry, Jenny.' Alan apologised. 'But I did have an ulterior motive for coming here.'

'Well, that wasn't very nice at all.' Captain Marvel Junior tutted. 'if you're not here to see your daughter, then why are you here, Mr Scott?'

'The JSA needs your help.' Alan explained.

'The JSA?' Mas y Menos blinked in confusion. 'What's that?'

'The Justice Society of America.' Jade explained. 'It's kind of like the Justice League, but for old people.'

'The JSA were the world's first superteam.' CM3 added. 'They have been around since WWII.'

'Yeah, I remember Ollie telling me about these guys.' Speedy remembered. 'That Wildcat guy's a member. So is the original Flash.'

'My mom's sort of an unofficial member.' Donna added her two cents. 'She kind of had a thing with Wildcat.'

'A thing?' Jericho asked in sign language.

'I'll explain it all later.' Donna told her curly-haired teammate. 'We still have to find out why Mr Scott needs our help.'

'I gather that you're all familiar with Ra's al Ghul?' Alan enquired.

'Oh, yeah.' Aqualad nodded. 'We've heard of him. 'A centuries-old eco-terrorist that's always trying to wipe out the people of the world so he can remake everything to match his vision for world peace, or something.'

'But isn't this something that Batman should be dealing with?' Donna asked. 'I mean, Ra's is one of his villains.'

'Batman's already onboard.' Alan explained. 'So is your sister.'

'Well, I guess that you've planned everything.' Jade sighed bitterly. 'I suppose that we haven't got any choice but to come along.'

'Jenny, we have to help Mr Scott.' Captain Marvel Junior pointed out. 'We're heroes, it's our job to fight the bad guys.'

'Oh, this is going to be so much fun!' Miss Martian clapped her hands excitedly. 'I am going to meet Batman! I cannot wait to meet him!'

'Oh, joy.' Jade rolled her eyes at the thought. 'We've got a team-up.'
