Titans Go!
Everyone gather once again in the TV room to watch the Titans adventures. They were pumped up for high adrenalin action. Not to mention everyone was getting really antsy to see the Titans in action. I mean their Danger Room sessions were a blast to watch.
"This is going to be so cool. How many teenagers do you know that don't have to go to school?" Kurt asked
"Not many to my knowledge." Amanda said. She patted her lap and her daughter sat down. "Lets get this party started already!"
"Wow okay settled down people or we won't get finished watching the first part of Teen Titans today and the rest tomorrow." Darien said finding his seat.
"Are you ready to rock and roll my fellow teenagers? Well then everyone grab some grub and lets get the show started. Boo Yah!" Cyborg shouted as he started the program. Everyone calmed down and became silent as the opening scenario for Divide and Conquer began to play followed by the catchiest theme song around.
The story line opened up with what appeared to be a giant creature made out of cinderblocks breaking into prison. "I've heard of prison breaks, but I don't think this is what they meant by that." Jackie commented off hand.
"Why are you two idiots arguing like that? So one baddie got away its no big deal. Grow up you two." Tabitha said as she watched Cyborg and Robin arguing.
Later when Plasmas appeared everyone was grossed out. A monster made out of muck was just plain disgusting. It was nice to see Robin saved and that with the sonic boom technique the problem was solved.
In the next episodes entitled Sisters Starfire's big sister Blackfire came for a visit. She was instantly popular with everyone and everyone had had nice things to say about her. But what were those squid like things that were after her?
They were at a rave that Blackfire had invited them to. Starfire gazed up at the sky and sighed softly to herself. "Perhaps I don't belong here after all."
"Of course you don't. You belong down there having fun with the rest of us. What's the matter is everything okay?" Robin asked sitting down next to her.
Starfire tried to reassure him that nothing was wrong but confessed in the end how being near her sister made her feel. Shortly after that she decided to leave but was captured by a bunch of Centarie Police. Robin rescued her and told them they were chasing after the wrong Tamerainen after it was revealed that one had been stealing from them.
Starfire saw her sister escaping and took to the sky. She was not going to get away! Among the audience watching this both Viper and Gambit were annoyed with Blackfire. Among thieves it was dishonorable to frame a sibling for your crimes.
"Hello sister." Starfire said floating in front of Blackfire.
Blackfire tried to weasel her way out of the situation but it didn't work. So she attacked Starfire sending her tumbling. No way was she going to turn herself over to the police and Starfire wasn't going to make her. She was the better fighter! But it turned out that Starfire was because she placed one well-aimed starbolt that disabled her that allowed her to be captured.
Starfire watched as the sun rose. She always enjoyed the dawn. Turning to Robin who sat beside her she told him how happy she was that the truth about Blackfire was discovered before she was replaced. Robin replied no one could ever take her place.
The next episode was Final Exam, which was cool, and all but the one following it had an important lesson in it. Everyone glared at Bobby as the opening played. BB had rigged up a practical joke that had backfired and had hurt Starfire. She was so mad at him she wouldn't talk to him. Later after chasing Thunder and Lightning that changed. Slabs of solid stone fell near Starfire and Beast Boy didn't know if she was alive or trapped under the stone.
"Starfire! Starfire please you have to be okay. Earlier at the Tower you could have been hurt and I was thinking. I know I didn't say it but I'm sorry. I really am sorry." Beast Boy said to her as she approached from behind. After forgiving him they went after the two brothers and Beast Boy gave them a lesson about gifts.
"Gifts don't make you special just different! Its how you use them that counts!"
"I think the little green dude has a point." Trista calmly stated from her seat.
"I have to concur. Gifts make you unique and different. We must act responsible with them." Toruh commented.
The next major episode was titled Nevermore. It started out with the Titans trying to stop a villain named Dr. Light from getting away with an armored shipment of cash. Raven finally took him down but she went all psychotic.
"Man what in the world is wrong with you girl. Your worse than Ray on a bad hair day." Serena said outloud.
"Watch it Meatball head!"
Beast Boy and Cyborg had just entered Raven's room after knocking the door down. Beast Boy wanted to learn more about Raven. He picked up a mirror from her vanity to exam it. All of sudden a giant claw grabbed Cyborg and him and transported the two Titans to some strange world.
"Were in Heavens name are you two?" J'onn Jones asked. He had never seen such a strange place.
"I believe will find out soon enough. Wow watch out guys those nasty birds are after you!" Leon screamed.
Cyborg and Beast Boy were dangling above an abyss when a pink robed Raven appeared. Somehow she flipped the world right side up and started laughing at the two. When they questioned her about the color and a way out her answers were vague so they followed her to a peaceful place that was all warm. A strawberry flew by their heads.
"I think this might be were air fresheners come from." BB said. Both he and Cyborg stared at Raven as she began laughing.
"You're laughing?" Cyborg said confused
"At one of my jokes?"
"Sure I've always thought you were funny BB. But hey looks aren't everything." Raven told them. The boys continued along their way meeting Raven again twice. Once in gray when she was all sad and timid the other green and brave. After the green one destroyed a stone sentinel Beast Boy exploded on her.
"What is your deal?! First you nuke breakfast, then finally laugh at my jokes, then you're all weepy, now you're a Marine? Make up your mind who are you?"
The three Ravens drew together and in unison answered. "I'm Raven." Beast Boy fell over and Cyborg pointed at each of them. "Happy, timid brave. Different sides of Raven's personality. Were not in Raven's home." Cyborg said as the truth dawned on him.
"Were in her head." Beast Boy said in disbelief.
"And I want you out. The mirror you found is a portal into my mind not a toy!" She growled at them. Quickly she tried to make them leave but it was to late. Her father Trigun appeared.
"Wow if that's what issues with a father look like I'm so glad I don't have any." Wanda said. Everyone of the X-men looked at her warily.
"Trigun! Uncle has heard of that demon. He is very evil!" Uncle said.
"With all due respect Uncle, well duh!" Jade said. Turning back to the screen she watched as the three friends battled the evil manifestation to no avail. They simply didn't have the kind of power they needed. That's when BB had a brilliant idea. Combine all the Raven's into one. She did just that turning into a very tall white cloaked Raven.
"You are going back were you belong!" Raven ordered.
"Never!" Trigun shouted struggling against her power, but good won out in the end. Raven won the battle and they all went back to Titans Tower were Raven explained her parentage to the boys. How Trigun had raped her mother to produce a child that he would use a tool for destruction. How the people of Azerath a plane of peace allowed her to live and taught her to use her powers for good so one day she could defeat Trigun. Everything was aye okay.
The next major event was an episode called Switch. It was obvious to everyone that Raven and Starfire didn't see eye to eye with each other. Raven was quiet, mysterious, and unemotional. Meanwhile Starfire was happy, enthusiastic, and fun loving. Total opposites from one another.
"Yo those chicks remind me off Kitty and Rouge." Toad commented.
"Hey! Were not that bad." Kitty said defensensly. Rouge glared at him angrily.
"Would the peanut gallery shut up? We are trying to enjoy the show." Logan growled.
"Wow look at that! Toruh isn't that just like the time Jackie switched places with the Monkey King?" Jade asked wide-eyed.
"Yes but it looks like the Puppet King is more dangerous then the Monkey King." Toruh responded.
The two girls had switched bodies. Starfire was panicking which was causing all kinds of things to explode. Raven grabbed her and told her to calm down. She couldn't calm down and zombie Beast Boy suddenly chased them. Raven couldn't make herself fly.
"Okay how do you make this thing fly?" Raven asked
"You must feel flight." Starfire explained to her.
"What?"
"When you feel the unbridle joy of flight you will fly. To use starbolts you have to feel righteous fury. My alien strength boundless confidence."
"I can't feel that. Run!" They ran from the boys and suddenly they were cornered. "If I can't fly you have to levitate. You know those words I always say?"
"Yes. Azerath Mentrion Zinthos! Wow! I wish to stop please tell me how!" Starfire wailed as they awkwardly flew across the city.
"Look at the ground and imagine wow stop! Quiet!" Raven hissed as she hid them under some trash they landed in. They listen to the Puppet King's plan. They had to stop it but Raven didn't think they could in their condition. She criticized Starfire about her flying and her own unusable powers.
"At least I am able to fly! On my planet even a newborn can unleash the joy of flight! But you are to busy being grumpy and rude to feel anything at all!" Starfire unloaded on her.
Raven turned to face her. "In case you haven't notice my emotions are dangerous. I can't afford to feel anything. You may have my body but you know nothing about me."
Starfire calmed down. Sighing in defeat she spoke "Perhaps you are right. And if we are to over come this difficulty we must know everything about each other. So please began sharing."
"I wouldn't believe it if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes." Green Lantern said in amazement.
"What that two complete opposites can actually sit down and work out their differences. Its been known to happen John." Hawkgirl said. She smiled to herself. It seemed to her even in the most difficult of situations friends could surprise you.
The girls certainly surprised everyone. After helping each other out with their powers they rescued the boys. In a grand fight the two of them stopped the Puppet King and everyone got their body back. Also Raven and Starfire better understood each other.
"That was a very interesting experience for you two. I'm impressed by the way you handled yourself." The Professor said giving the two girls a soft smile. They blushed embarrassed.
"Thank you Professor Xavier." They said in unison.
Everyone watched the screen captivated by what they saw. Robin had become so obsessed with stopping Slade that he was ignoring his friends. It was a critical time too. A new enemy had just appeared by the name of Red X and he seemed to know exactly how to bring each Titan down.
"Good lord that guy is unstoppable." Luna said from her perch.
"Mom how can someone just disappear like that?" Comet asked confused. Her mother shook her head in confusion. She simply had no idea.
Nicky watched the second battle fascinated by what she saw. Red X was able to adapt so quickly to any situation. Not to mention he seemed too heartless. Her opinion changed when she saw him save Beast Boy life. "That was a close one."
"You're telling me. Another few seconds and I would have been a pile of road kill." Beast Boy said. The memory of the near death experiences still haunted him.
"Looks like Red X is about to reveal to us his true identity. Wonder who it is?" Flash wondered out loud.
"I bet you anything its some low life street scum." Lancer spat. "Lancelot manners!" "Sorry Mom." Everyone watched the screen as Red X started to remove his mask. Everyone gasped in amazement as they saw who the dangerous villain was.
"ROBIN?!!" Everyone shouted in unison. All eyes turned to the Boy Wonder who was desperately searching for a place to hide. His cheeks burned with embarrassment. "It seemed like a good idea at the time." He muttered.
"Robin how in the world could you be so stupid, irresponsible, not to mention careless? You know better than that. Two wrongs don't make a right! The means can't justify the ends. I don't understand how you could cross the line between good and evil." Batman berated his ward. He looked pissed off.
"Batman lay off. Can't you see he's sorry for what he did? He made a mistake we all do. Look at me I betrayed Earth by lying about being Hawkgirl and that nearly blew it up. We all make mistakes. Its knowing that you did and correcting them that's important." Hawkgirl informed the Dark Knight. He sat back down in his chair to watch the end of the episode. Everyone else looked back at the TV but couldn't believe what he had done.
"You want to yell at me to? Everyone else has and I can't blame them." Robin said to Starfire. He looked down at the robot Slade mask he held in his hand. He had been so close!
"I do not wish to yell merely to understand. Robin why did you simply not tell us the truth?" Starfire asked sadly.
"I needed to fool Slade. If you guys knew it was me under that mask you would have held back. Doesn't matter he figured it out. And I still haven't figured out anything about him."
"That is not true. Whoever Slade is he and you are… similar. Slade did not trust you and you did not trust us." Starfire told him. She left him alone in his room to contemplate what she had said.
The episode Apprentice was about to start. Robin couldn't face the horror of what had happen during that time. What he had done. He got up from his seat and ran out of the room. "Robin!" Starfire called after him.
Beast Boy paused the tape. Chewing on his lip he asked "Shouldn't someone go get him?"
"I'll do it. Would anyone like to accompany me?" Starfire asked as she flew to the door. Jean, Nathan, Rini, Viper, and Batman got up and walked to the door. "We'll be right back. Don't start it till we get back." Jean ordered.
They found Robin hiding behind the main staircase. He was crying which was something he didn't normally do. Starfire gently laid a hand on his shoulder but he recoiled from her touch. "Go away. Please Starfire."
"Robin please come back to the TV room with us. Everyone is waiting. They want to see what happens next." Starfire told him gently
"I can't face it Star. It's too horrible. What I did. What he made me do." Robin chocked out.
"Robin, Slade made you do terrible things but you were only trying to save our lives." Starfire started to say before he interrupted her.
"I'm not talking about Slade I'm talking about Dark Robin! There's a monster that lives inside of me. How do I face that? You don't know what its like to have a monster that part of you inside you do you Starfire." Robin told her angrily.
"She doesn't but I do Robin. Awhile back my powers went out of control. I couldn't control anything. I nearly died. I've never been so afraid of myself or my powers before." Jean related to him.
"If you think you're the only one who can't face his past your not. Believe me there are some horrors in my past that I wish I didn't have to relive." Nathan said.
"Yeah like what?" Robin said defensively.
"Like the time I went blind or the time my dad went evil." Nathan replied.
"But I became evil. I stole and hurt my friends."
"Robin when I was Wicked Lady I did some pretty nasty things but my family and friends forgave me. Yours did to." Rini told him.
"I was a thief to Robin until I met Jackie and Jade. They looked past me being a thief and gave me a chance to be good."
"Robin if you don't face your past it will haunt you for the rest of your life. Please you must come to terms with what happened. Everyone's waiting lets go." Batman told him. Robin got up and followed the group back to the room and they started the episode.
They were in his room watching as Robin was desperately trying to finish a project he had been working on. He was shaking uncontroablly and muttering to himself, "I got to finish this. I can't let the others know about my problem. I'm so tired maybe I'll take a break." He put down his tools and drifted off to sleep.
He dreamt that he was chasing Slade and that they were battling one another. When he finally caught Slade he simply pointed out that he destroyed all he cared about. Robin threw off Slade's mask and saw his own face beneath. He jolted awake just as Cyborg came in to tell him that Slade was calling.
"Your dream reveals much. Unconcessisly you believe you are Slade. That you will destroy everything and everyone close to you. Very symbolic." J'onn observed.
"Enough with the psycho analyzing that was just plain freaky." Cannonball said. "I concur." Roberto added
Robin said nothing. What was there to say? He watched as Slade revealed his plans about the Chronotron Detonator and how the others didn't want him going after Slade because he had issues. He listened all around him as everyone watching whispered about this ingenious plan.
They had arrived at the warehouse on Pier 41 were the Detonator was supposed to be. The building was empty except for a hundred Sladebots ready to take them down. The Titans began to battle or at least attempt to. Robin took out each and every robot by himself.
"You kicked butt big time but what's wrong with you?" Jade asked curious.
"You were attacking with blind rage. Not the best way to deal with a situation." Jackie added.
"Look will you people just shut up and leave me alone!" Robin growled. Everyone looked at him shocked. What was his problem?
The story continued with some interesting twist like Starfire being allergic to metallic chromium so she could track the device down. Then Cinderblock appearing and separating the Titans from Robin. Robin took Cinderblock out and went after Slade while the Titans went after the Detonator.
"How does one halt this vehichal?" Starfire asked as the boat sped through the sewers. Cyborg ripped out the on board computer bringing the boat to a halt. BB and Raven landed on the boat and Raven asked, "Please tell me that's not how you're planning to stop the Detonator?"
"Uh?"
"You do know how to stop it. Don't you?" Beast Boy asked.
Throwing the keypad overboard Cyborg replied, "How hard could it be. Oh" as the Detonator sprang to life.
"Whatever were going to do we better do it before Slade decides to trigger this thing." Raven informed them.
A little while later the four friends realized they had been tricked. The Detonator was a fake! Suddenly a red beam blasted them off the boat. Nothing seemed wrong. They thought they had won. Boy were they wrong.
Slade walked up to the vidscreens were medical charts showing each Titans blood and body had appeared. Attached to the red blood cells were probes. "Nanoscopic Probes. You see the Chronotron Detonator was merely the bait for a much larger trap. You see with a push of the button my probes will destroy your friends from the inside out."
"You can't control them. Whatever you threaten they'll never obey you." Robin growled clutching his hand in a fist.
"This isn't about your friends Robin. This is about you. It's always been about you." Slade said as he started to circle the boy.
"What?" Robin asked confused and in disbelief.
"Sending trouble your way. Leaving cryptic clues for you to unravel. I was testing you." Slade said. He stopped circling and walked up to the boy. "For some time now I have been searching for an apprentice. Someone to follow in my footsteps and Robin I've chosen you. Congratulations." He whispered.
"No way would I ever work…" Robin began angrily but stopped as Slade raised the button into view.
"If you join me. If you swear to serve me. If you never speak to your friends again I will allow them to live. But if you disobey even the smallest request I will annihilate them and I'll make you watch Robin. So do we have a deal?"
Five minuets later Robin had abandon his colorful outfit for a uniform that was similar to Slade's. His heart felt heavy and sadness invaded him. But his eyes only showed hatred for both Slade and himself. "I know it seems bad now but trust me you'll learn to like it." Slade told him. The lights went off ending the first part. Comments exploded.
"Who does that guy thing he is? Give me a minuet with him and I'll slice him into little tiny pieces." Rebecca said.
"If I got my claws on him there wouldn't be anything left of him." Logan growled his claws shooting out in anger.
"Even I wouldn't have gone to those measures to procure help." Magneto said.
"Someone should shove something up his ass." Ray said her violet eyes blazing with anger.
"As a former thief that guy sickens me." Viper said.
"The worst is still to come." Superman said.
"Before we continue I like to say something. Robin I think that was pretty unselfish of you to give up your freedom and everything you believed in to save your friends." Serena told the young boy. He smiled at her and mumbled thanks.
The Titans were very worried. They had searched all night and all day and still they hadn't found a sign of their leader. Suddenly they got all call at a weapons research lab were a thermal blaster had been stolen. They had expected it to be Slade but were shocked that it was Robin!
Robin escaped and made it back to Slade's hideout. He was angry and down right furious with himself. He was not enjoying this experience one bit but what annoyed him was being compared to Slade. He attacked him after hearing those words.
"I monitored your vital signs during the mission. Elevated heart rate, adrenalin, and endorphins. You won't admit but at some level. You enjoyed stealing for me." Slade informed him.
"I know that you might not want hear this but Robin almost all of us enjoy doing something bad. The thrill is doing it and not getting caught." Remy explained to the boy.
After hearing Beast Boy's wild theories and battling on top of the Wayne Enterprise building they thought that Robin would escape. He still wouldn't use the thermal blaster. Starfire stopped him with a starbolt fist and Robin leveled the blaster at her on Slade's order. Who would back down first?
"Robin, you are my best friend. I cannot live in a world were we must fight. If you are truly evil then go ahead. Do what you must." Starfire said lowering her hand and getting rid of the starbolts. Robin couldn't attack her and it cost him dearly. Slade activated the probes.
Everyone gasped in shock. A wild range of emotions went past everyone face. "Stop that's just horrible." Kali wailed. Everyone said something that concurred to that fact. No one could be that cruel could they?
Anyways while Robin was battling for his freedom against Slade the Titans discovered the probes. Tracing the signal of the probes they arrived just as Robin lost his will to fight. The Titans informed him they weren't leaving without him. They started to die from the probes but before he could infect himself something unexpected happened. Robin darker personality took over. An evil persona called Dark Robin. Things were about to get a whole lot more interesting.
It seemed that Robin had a dark personality that made Lucas seem tame. He was cold, conductive, and his eyes glowed an unnatural red. He seemed to enjoy being evil. He took out the Titans, captured the Justice League and converted the Watchtower into a battle station. Inside his mind the two groups were being watched over by Robin's personality that represented neither good nor evil. A girl named Annie.
"I am offering you a chance to rule this world. Don't make me keep you locked up here." Dark Robin said. Raven told Starfire to join him in order to defuse the situation from outside but she ended up having a behavioral modification chip installed on her made her act evil and under Dark Robin control.
"Who knew your dark side was that evil." Lita said.
"Am I the only one who notice that Dark Robin hasn't done anything really bad. He's attempting to return what he's stolen, he didn't reveal Batman identity, not to mention keeping his hostages comfortable and watch out for Starfire." Darien pointed out
"I see what you getting at. This is a textbook case of a child deprived of love and attention. He's doing this to be noticed." Amy said.
"If you two braniacs are done talking it looks like Robin is fighting himself. This is so cool." Rini said. Indeed it was. The two Robin's battled each other intensely. Neither could win. Dark Robin saved Starfire's life and explained how he was many things but not a killer. The two disappeared.
"Watch everyone. What your about to see will amaze you." Wonder Women said. On screen the entity known as Star had appeared. She explained how she was creator of all life and goodness. She had come to save Robin. She gave them crystal necklaces that would help them. The two teams arrived in time just as Robin enter a coma after coming to terms of who he was. While the Titans waited for Robin to awaken from his coma he had four visions. Two, which had already happened including the one dealing with Apocalypse. In the end it looked like Robin realized he need help. (To read the complete tale check out my story Dark Robin by clicking my bio.)
"That was a fantastic adventure. I hope things work out for you." Angela told the Boy Wonder. Everyone retired for the night. Tomorrow they would watch season two.
Everyone was energized for the next set of Titans stories. After seeing last night adventures everyone tried to be kind to Robin but he mostly ignored everyone. He didn't want their pity.
They settled down and started the tape. The scene opened up with Starfire all excited because it was Blorthog Day the Tamerainen Festival of Friendship. But when she tried to get her friends involved all they could think about was their petty problems. When Cyborg broke her tabnabula she had had enough.
"STOP! Friends must never behave this way. Especially on Blorthog Day. Do you wish to invite the Reckmog?" Starfire asked teary.
"Bless you?" Beast Boy said confused.
"On my world Reckmog means the drifted. The point when close friends begin to drift apart. And their friendship dies." Starfire explained. The Titans assured her that they would be friends forever that they would never drift apart. Starfire didn't believe them.
Just then the alarm went off. Robbery at the Antiquities Museum. They rushed off and arrived just in time. Warp the time traveling thief had appeared and was attempting to steal the Clock of Eternity. "Man has everyone of us time traveled or what?" Leon commented.
Starfire disappeared through a wormhole and arrived in Jump City twenty years in the future. What she found shocked her. Her friends weren't friends anymore. The Titans were history. Cyborg was in disrepair, Beast Boy was bald and a one-man freak show, (Everyone giggled at seeing him without hair.) and Raven had gone insane locking herself up in a one room apartment. Starfire couldn't even find Robin.
"Forge I'm glad you were able to figure out those time travel dynamics because Warp looks ugly." Evan commented.
"Yeah but he brings up an interesting point. Is the future, present, and past all written in stone?" Forge replied.
"I don't know about that but look what twenty years have done to Robin or should I say Nightwing. What a hunk." Trista commented. All the girls began to whistle and shout. The boys looked at them like they were crazy. I mean he wasn't that handsome.
Nightwing tried to comfort Starfire but she didn't want comfort. She wanted her friends back. When she saw the Red Bird costume that his evil personality used she knew he hadn't got the help he needed. "I heard you were looking for help."
"There is nothing you can do. There is nothing anyone can do. The past cannot be changed. The future cannot be altered no matter how wrong it may seem." Starfire told him in defeat.
Nightwing and the other Titans showed her it was possible. They stopped Warp, sent Starfire home and changed the timeline so they never existed in this state. That was a good one.
The next one that was important to watch was Terra. A blond hair girl with blue eyes who was terrakinetic. She was funny, kind, cool. But frightened and she didn't have control over her powers. When she tackled the Titans obstacle course she pretty much wrecked it.
"Hey Lance are you or Steve related to that girl by any chance?" Puerto asked.
"No! And anyways why would we be related to her? She makes rocks fly I cause earthquakes." Lance said defensively.
"Terrakinetics is a rare and dangerous gift. No wonder she's having such emotional problems. She's letting her insecurity get in the way of control." Xavier commented. He pressed his fingers together as Terra and Slade talked and how she ran away from the Titans. That girl needed help.
Date With Destiny was the next major episode. It started out with this bizarre Mothman gloating in his basement when his bratty daughter yelled for him. She had just been dumped by her boyfriend and now didn't have a date for the Prom. So she forced her father to get one for her.
The Titans had been chasing after a guy who had stolen a lot of jewelry. The guy had a spider for a head! "That is just plain gross!" Mandy said. "I don't know I think its kind of cool." Kurtis said. "Shut up blue boy." Mandy hissed. "Kids no fighting." Kurt warned.
Robin and Starfire were about to join the rest of the team at a collapsing bridge when Killer Moth called. He had three simple demands. 1. The city would declare him supreme ruler. 2. The Teen Titans would surrender. 3. Robin would take this lovely young lady (in reality the bratty Kitten who shouldn't be confused with Kitty daughter because she nice and the other one is evil) to her junior prom. Robin was in a state of shock.
"This prom is some manner of duel yes? Robin eagerly accepts." Starfire said slapping the computer image of Kitten.
"Its not a duel Starfire. It's a date."
"What! He does not accept. Do you hear me Robin does not accept? Scandal, atrocity, inconceivable. These demands must not be met. He must be out of his mind if he thinks you would even considered it." Starfire raged fire burning from her eyes.
"I have to do it." He whispered. "What!" "It's the only way to stop Killer Moth and save the city. I have to do Starfire even if I don't want to do it. And believe me I really don't want to." Robin said disgusted.
"Man Robin I pity you. It must have sucked having to take that guy's daughter to her prom." Scott said.
"Yeah but at least he didn't have dinosaurs ruining his like yours bro." Alex joked.
"Which was worse Robin. Taking that witch, no offences to the witches in this room, to her prom or working for Slade?" Kelsey asked.
Robin pondered the question thoughtfully as he watched the rest of the show. Watching it made him feel like he was back there right now. If he had to say which was the worst it was working for Slade because this was the most embarrassing. He said so to the group.
The next few episodes were hilarious. Like Starfire going through her Transformation which was Tamerainen puberty. She thought something was seriously wrong with her. "You don't look that bad girlfriend. Honestly I've seen worse." Michelle said kindly.
"Yeah but nobody tried to eat you I bet senorita." El Toru added.
"Or tried to bury you home, have a giant gorilla kidnap you for your powers, and lastly been stabbed in the back by your so called friend." Flash said glaring at Hawkgirl. She had betrayed them.
"Hey back off Speedy. All of us have been betrayed at least once in our lives. It's a natural part of life so shut your mouth." Jade told him matter of factly.
"Jade! That was extremely rude. Apologize right this instant." Jackie told his niece angrily.
"Don't bother Mr. Chan. She is right. Flash shouldn't have acted so nasty." Green Lantern replied calmly.
"If you guys are done babbling you can watch the final two episodes. You just missed the one called Fractured. Kinda cute that Larry." Nathan said.
"Yeah but a major best. But he was right about one thing. Never ever stop trying." Ron spoke up. "Three cheers for never giving up." Melody added.
Terra was busy trashing the Titans. She was wearing a new suit that connected her to Slade giving her more power than ever. The Titans couldn't take her down because she had once been their friend and that was making them hesitate. Beast Boy begged to give her one more chance. Robin refused but changed his mind after being reminded of his own servitude to Slade.
Terra broke Overload, Cinderblock, and Plasmas out of jail and used them to take out the Titans one by one. Robin fought her hand to hand trying to convince her to give up being Slade's apprentice but she told him she wasn't a lost little girl who need saving. She took him out like all the others or so she thought.
As she was patrolling the city she passed familiar sights. Old memories resurfaced. She pushed them away. She had no regrets. That was until the Titans appeared and began to kick her ass. She was scared, frightened. When she arrived back at Slade's hide out he attacked her. She tried to remove the suit but the neural interface that Slade had built into had grown into her skin so she couldn't. She couldn't even control her body because of it.
"Man that dude is 100 plain evil." Mina commented. She shivered thinking about all the times the Sailor Scouts had faced their foes and managed to defeat them. Sometimes they had even been able to turn them to good like the Weird Sisters and Amethysts.
"That poor child. She went to that awful man because she believed he could help her. Now look at what it's cost her." Storm said sadly.
"The devil always hides behind false promises." Raven told everyone. She was still furious by the fact that Terra had betrayed them. But after watching herself and Terra she gained a new perspective on the situation.
Beast Boy had gone after Terra and Slade alone. He found her crying asking to be destroyed. He was confused until Slade started using her power on him. He kept changing animal forms trying to get close to Terra. He finally pinned her down. "You got to stop me Beast Boy. I don't want to fight anymore." Terra begged.
"Then don't let Slade control you anymore." Beast Boy yelled at her.
"I have no choice."
"That's a lie you've always had a choice," Beast Boy told her. She flung him off. He stormed back to her continuing, "It's always been your choice Terra. You chose to work for Slade; you chose to betray us, now your choosing to give him control. Slade isn't doing this Terra you are!"
A few minuets later the other Titans arrived just as she was about to plunge a stalactite through BB. They begged her to stop while Slade ordered her to attack. Beast Boy gave her a pleading look. "Its your life Terra. Your choice. Its never to late to change."
"Sorry Beast Boy for everything I've ever done." Terra whispered. She concentrated and suddenly redirect her attack on Slade! She had taken control.
"Alright she did it! She chose good over evil." Zeus said. "Yeah she seems to be making up for her betrayal. Something I never did." Pietro whispered.
"Looks like they could use your help Amara. I mean you stopped a volcano now she's trying to." Tabitha injected.
"Somehow I don't think even I could stop that monstrosity." Magma replied. She focused on the screen where Terra had turned into a stone statue. Strangely familiar to the situation they found Mystique in.
"Her name was Terra. She was gifted with amazing power and cursed by it as well. She was a dangerous enemy and a good friend. And she was one of the bravest persons I have ever met." Beast Boy narrated as the team came to the place where Terra's statue rested. They were saying good-bye for now.
"I shall miss you friend." Starfire cried leaving some roses at the base of the statue.
"We will be searching for a way to reverse the effect." Raven explained gently.
"We'll bring her back." Robin said confidently.
"Someday." Cyborg added. They turned to leave except for Beast Boy.
"Good bye Terra. I'll never forget you." He placed a small plaque at the foot of the statue. The plaque read: Terra. A Teen Titan. A True Friend.
"So is she dead or alive? What's the situation?" Beast asked curious.
"I believe that their friend is trapped in a state of limbo. She is neither truly dead nor alive. Stuck in stone. She is frozen in time." Batman answered.
"We like some ideas to reverse the effect. We haven't had a chance to think of any yet." Robin announced.
"Well I don't think we can help you. I wasn't really frozen in stone just my form was. So were no help." Mystique told the young teenagers.
"When one of the monsters we fought tried to turn me into stone I used my priestess powers combined with my charms to break her spell." Ray spoke up. "Hope that helps you."
"When Jackie turned to stone we had the Horse Talisman but I don't it will work for you in your world." Uncle said snippy.
"When my Amazon sisters were turned to stone the spell broke when the one who cast it died. Unfortunately that isn't the case here." Wonder Women sadly reported.
"Well thank you all for you input. It was most helpful. I am sure we will find some way to revive are friend from her stone sleep." Starfire said.
"I have every bit of confidence in you and your team. You should great compassion, kindness, and most of friendship to someone who betrayed you. Giving people second chances and looking for the good in them is important. I hope you succeed in your quest." Professor Xavier told the young hero's. They nodded their heads.
Three down and only one more team to go. Soon they be watching Earth greatest hero's in their battle to save Earth from danger. It was time for the Justice League.
