A/N: I'm sooo tired that I can't think of anything witty to say, except a generic plea for reviews.

Disclaimer: Not mine. The end.

"Oh God. When you said there was a break-in at the Museum…" Jinx said, distressed as she stared at the horrendous sight before her.

"I didn't know, I swear!" Wally said, horrified. "I didn't!"

"I can't believe it…" Hot Spot whispered, jaw open.

"This can't be real," Argent agreed. "I'm dreaming. I ate far too much of that pepperoni pizza last night, and am currently in the middle of a horrendous nightmare."

We could just be hallucinating, Jericho offered, looking aghast. In our line of work, it's distinctly possible.

"I agree with Jericho!" Kid Flash said. "There is no way that this is real."

"Agreed. Robin told me about Scarecrow's Fear Gas," Jinx said, looking at her teammates seriously. "Do you think we could have inhaled it somehow?"

"This is hardly scary," Hot Spot protested.

"You're right Spotty," Argent said, perfectly serious. "It's terrifying."

"Agreed," Jinx said. "We should run scans to see if we've been injected with anything."

"It could just be something in the air," Kid Flash said thoughtfully. "I think I've read that Poison Ivy might have something like that."

"But why would Gotham villains be here?" Argent said, crossing her arms.

"I don't know; why was Doctor Light here!" Kid Flash threw his hands up into the air. "The point is, our lives don't make sense!"

When'd you figure that out? Jericho signed, eyes wide.

"Hey!" Kid Flash said, glaring at the blond boy. "No need to be sarcastic… snarky… whatever!"

"Can we focus, please?" Jinx asked, crossing her arms. "We've probably been poinsoned!"

"Right," Kid Flash said, nodding rapidly. "I think if I get blood samples, I can probably whip up an antidote in a few minutes, half an hour max."

"Hey!" None of them even turned their heads to look at the Duchess, who was dressed in medieval armor that she had pilfered from various exhibits and clutching a different sword, this one looking ridiculous as she clutched it in her gauntleted hands. "Come and face me, you foul invaders of the motherland!"

"Ugh, blood samples?" Argent made a face. "I don't like needles."

Letting out a cry of frustration, the Duchess charged, brandishing her sword, fully prepared to chop the Titans into tiny pieces, but the hapless villain tripped over her too-large boots, going sprawling on the floor, her antique armor letting out a tremendous noise as she did so.

"Well, I won't need them from everyone," Wally reasoned, thinking hard. "I actually could probably make do with just mine."

The Duchess got to her feet. "You will be defeated, and executed for treason! In the name of King Arthur Pendragon, I command you to surrender yourselves!"

"This is assuming that we are hallucinating," Jinx said flatly. "It could just all be an illusion. Mad Mod's British, isn't he?"

The Duchess tripped again, crying out in frustration as she struggled to make her way over to the heroes.

"I thought he was still in prison," Hot Spot said, frowning.

The Duchess struggled with the buckles on her armor, not caring that she was wearing valuable artifacts.

"Yeah, but we thought Doctor Light was too," Jinx replied.

Or, as much as I hate to admit the possibility that we have a villain this lame, Jericho signed, frowning. The Duchess could have returned, armed herself with outdated armor that would really only protect her in that we don't want to damage antiques, and is attempting to attack us.

The Titans Europe exchanged glances, horrified.

"But come on," Kid Flash said. "How lame would that be?"

"Very," Jinx replied with a sigh. "But I think it might be true, so let's just ship the Duchess back to the mental institution."

"Agreed," Argent said, walking over to the villain. "You're under arrest," she informed the girl flatly, using her plasma to separate the girl from the armor.

Prompt: Return

A/N: I did remember something to say... so I've been thinking about my old fanfic "Don't Let a Mary-Sue Into Titans Tower." If you haven't read it, I won't spoil the ending for you, but for those of you who have... well, I'm considering expanding upon the cliff-hanger ending in this story. Any thoughts?
