Postponing the beach day chapter to do this one…it's for those who wanna know what the Titans would think of our real world. Thanks to newsiesgirllaces for the idea!

CRASH!

"Oh, shit! Tim's so gonna—oh. Hey. I'm Kid Flash. Who are you people? And—wait a second. How'd you get into Titans Tower? This place is supposed to be secure. Hmmm…oh, well. I guess it wouldn't hurt to have a few extra people around here. What're your names? Mine's Bartholomew Allen II, but I hate saying all that, so people call me Bart. Don't tell anybody else that I said this, but I'm actually the coolest one at the Tower. I have the coolest back story, I have the awesomest powers, and I'm more famous than everybody else, all because of my family.

"Tim and Conner and Cassie all have boring origins. I mean, so what if Tim figured out who Batman and Robin were when he was nine? Who cares that Cassie stole ancient Greek artifacts so she could help Wonder Woman? And a half-human, half-Kryptonian clone—can we say 'cliché'? I'm from the future, and I'm the grandson of Barry Allen, a.k.a. the Flash, a.k.a. the World's Awesomest Superhero, therefore I am the awesomest Teen Titan!

"So, what're things like where you come from? Any of you people have superpowers? You don't? That's nuts! Wait…are you, like, from Earth-Prime or whatever? I hear people there don't have powers.

"They say this is called 'New Earth'. You guys call it the DCU, huh? Hmm, I like it. It's got a nice ring to it. DCU, DCU, DCU…anyway, living here's not all it's cracked up to be. I mean, it totally sucks how super-screwy our superhero lives are. And all the drama tends to leak over into our civilian lives, too, so it's like we can't get away from all the stupid angst. And everybody is constantly changing all the time for no reason at all, or worse, some stupid reason. And it's like we all get a shot at dying and coming back to life. Though, poor Tim doesn't have many of those. He's never actually died, but a whole bunch of people he knew did, and he's only gotten a few of them back.

"Stephanie died too? No way! Aw, you guys missed me when I was dead? That's so sweet!

"But, seriously, it's like there's some kind of evil force out there running our lives and making every decision for us. It's like we don't really have any real control, but don't tell any of the Bats, because they'll positively freak out because they live to be in control of their lives and—hey, can you, like, tell when everything's going to change? You can? That's awesome!"

"Bart, what the hell are you doing? And who are all these people?"

"Oh, hey, Tim, this is our FanFiction fan-base. They say they love the Teen Titans. They missed me when I died and they know when everything's going to change around us and they think we're all cool…and that you're gay."

"You think I'm gay? What the—"

"Yeah, they said the guy that's in charge of our lives next month was gonna make you asexual."

"What the—what in the—but I—I'm not—"

"But, no worries; that was a fake article, so you can be in love with Cassie or one of the new kids or whoever you want to be, because everybody knows you get all the girls 'cause you're a stud. I mean, unless you really are gay, because then you can have Conner and make Cassie stop whining about him being a bum."

"…Who did you say these people are again?"

"I told you; they're our fan-base! They read our comic books."

"We don't write comic books."

"No, stupid, we're in a comic book! Actually, you're in quite a few. You're pretty popular."

"…Right, sure we are. So, why do you guys think I'm gay? Oh, so suddenly it's a crime to be close to your best friend? No, no, I don't have anything against gay people—I know a few, and they're all real nice, but I'm not one of them. Well, I take that back, about them all being real nice, because Batwoman...isn't, not to me, anyway. But she's technically a lesbian, but I guess that counts. But, anyway, why me? Haven't I been tortured enough? Why are you here, anyway? It's not like we're taking many new members right now. This place is crowded enough."

"Oh, they're not here to join the team. They're just here to read. They don't have any powers, you know that? Isn't that weird?"

"No."

"What?"

"My entire family is without powers. Most people in the world are without powers. It's not as strange as you think."

"But they're from a different planet!"

"That's what they said. How do you know it's true?"

"Because they weren't behind the wall before I broke it!"

"…"

"Oops."

"Bart…"

"It wasn't like I meant to do it. It was an accident, I swear, just like the laxative in the punch!"

"So that was what you put in there that night!"

"Guys, what's all the yelling about? Oh, um…hi. Who are they?"

"They're the people from behind the fourth wall!"

"You broke the wall, didn't you?"

"It was accident! Hey, what do you guys mean, 'we're not supposed to do that'? It's exclusively for Marvel? Who's Marvel? It's a what?"

"Rival publisher, huh? Labeled as better than ours? Why, because their characters are allowed to break the fourth wall? That's stupid. Tim dated a Marvel girl once? Tim! How could you?"

"Hey, hey, hey, don't get mad at me! In my defense, she was probably really hot or at least my age. Besides, I don't even remember her. So there."

"Wow, you all do wonders for a guy with a headache and super-hearing. Dwellers of the land behind the fourth wall, right? Good to meet you! Since you're making all my friends scream…"

"Conner, they think we're gay for each other. You and me, gay for each other…how crazy is that?"

"Um…"

"Don't say it. Don't even go there."

"Well, I can see their line of thinking. I mean, you do seem awful…well…I'm just gonna stop talking."

"There's a Kryptonite ring in my belt with your name on it, S-Boy. Just remember that."

"Hey, guys, listen to your fans! God! We're getting rebooted next month, huh? Cool! And Tim gets wings and doesn't look stupid anymore? Cool!"

"What's wrong with the way I look?"

"Uh…"

"No, I want to hear this. What's wrong with the way I look?"

"Um…well, uh…thanks for following the story, guys, and stay tuned later! I've got to go! Bye!"
