Here we are with chapter two of The Vitruvian Man! Thanks for giving this story a chance, and for continuing with it, I really do appreciate it. This'll be the end of the little mini arc that leads to the formation of the team, after that, things'll really get going.
That's all from me, on with the story!
Teen Titans Together
I twist my body to the left to avoid the leader's axe as it cleaves through the air. I feel the energy radiating off of the axe. While his axe is embedded into the ground, I snap my leg forward, kicking him in the chest, which sends him into the glass separating us from the engine. Before he can recover, I press the attack, hitting him with a hammer fist that breaks the glass, sending us both to the engine room. I stay in the air and hit him with heat vision, sending him down faster, but as soon as he lands, he gets up quickly, surprising me.
He throws the axe at me, once in midair the two blades split off, and the handle becomes a spear. The blades spin around me, while staying connected to the handle with a chain of electricity, the spear hits me in the chest, it doesn't pierce but it does stick to me, the blades spin around me three times, getting closer as they do, before trapping my arms to my body like a bola. A surge of electricity comes from the trap, I feel my muscles lock up temporarily.
I crash into the ground, the Gordanian captain stands over me and pulls out an energy knife from his belt, chuckling as he stands over me. He raises the knife up with both hands and then brings it down, once the knife connects, I absorb it, meaning only the handle hits me. He looks at me in surprise, using that to my advantage I bring my legs in and strike out, hitting him in the legs, once he falls over I headbutt him away. I flex my arms, sending the axe away from me, I then stretch my arms out, getting rid of the built up tightness from my muscles locking.
Three technicians come flying, all landing on the captain. Wonder Girl lands next to me, still holding one by the neck, she quickly tosses him into the pile. "Are you really having this much trouble with the captain?" She asks.
"Only problem I have with this asshole is that he recovers faster than the others. And his durability's surprisingly strong," I tell her. Our earpieces go off. "This is Apex, what's up?"
"Robin here, I've got bad news and good news, bad news is the ship's planning to fire on the city, good news: it'll take about forty-five minutes." Robin tells us.
"Can't you do anything up there?" Wonder Girl asks.
"I can't get control of the ship from here, something's blocking me out." Robin replies.
The Gordanian captain slowly rises up from the pile, he holds his hand out causing his gauntlet to glow red, his axe returns to its normal form and flies into his hand, Mjolnir style. "Alright. Robin, do what you can, if you can't do anything by twenty-five minutes tell us." I say.
"What're you gonna do?" Robin questions.
Wonder Girl charges forward to deal with the captain.
"I'm gonna take the ship to space and blow it up. Let's hope it doesn't come to that." I reply.
"Let's hope. Good luck you guys, Robin out." The earpiece turns off.
A warhammer smashes into the top of my head, sending me to the ground. Shaking my head, I look up to see a massive Gordanian standing over me, the warhammer raised to strike again. I roll out of the way once it hits the floor and punch him in the face with an energy infused punch, sending him through the windows up above.
Wonder Girl jumps to my back. "You were right, he is more durable than the others," She raises her shield to block a strike. "Who's your new friend?"
"No idea, Shao Khan, maybe. You got the captain?" I ask.
She nods. "As long as you got Outworld's emperor."
I smile as I jump through the window, dodging a swing from the hammer. Once I land, I slam my fists on the ground, creating a shockwave that causes him to lose his balance. While he stumbles, I leap forward, headfirst, and collide with his chest, I can hear the wind leave his lungs. The two of us crash through a wall, before he can recover, I repeatedly stomp on his chest, on my eighth stomp he grabs my leg and swings me to the side.
I get up on one knee to see the hammer coming towards me, it hits my chest and sends me even further down the hallway. Huh, I actually felt that. Kind of. Was more like getting punched by a little kid if anything else. But the idiot's still annoying, he just won't go down. The hammer hits me in the side of the head, the other side of my head hits the wall, making a Daichi sandwich. Yay, Resident Evil reference.
I've had enough of this. I grab the handle near the hammer head and squeeze, snapping it in two. The Gordanian looks at me in surprise. I rear my fist back and coat it in energy, swinging forward with a right hook it connects, sending him flying down the hallway, the force behind the punch causes the paneling on the walls to tear off. I get up and crack my neck. Stay down asshole.
Wonder Girl turns the corner, stepping over the Gordanian, and walks towards me, her sword dripping with blood. She notices me staring at the weapon. "Oh, he's not dead," She swings the sword, all the blood splatters on the wall and ground. "But he wishes he was. Good work with him by the way."
"Right back at you. Do you know how the others are doing? Where Kid Flash and Starfire are?" I ask.
A yellow and red blur stops next to us. "Hey guys! Great job with them, by the way."
Starfire follows shortly after. "Yes, great job, those two have always been a pain to deal with."
Wonder Girl turns to me and lazily points her sword at the two. "Found them."
"Thanks," I turn to Starfire. "Hey, Star, the ship activated and the others in the bridge have no way of controlling it, do you know why?"
Her eyes widen considerably. "How do you know this?"
"Robin told us, why?" I ask, worried that this means more than what we think it does. I activate my earpiece. "Hey, Rob, what exactly did the console say when you found out they were gonna fire on the city?"
"It just said 'Firing System Activated' why?" He replies.
"Hold," I turn to Starfire again. "It said "Firing System Activated"."
Her eyes widen even more. "The Firing System is a type of bomb, with it they transform their ship into a giant firebomb, from the explosion intense heat radiates. If it were to explode on your planet this entire area would become a second sun."
Wonder Girl and Kid Flash step back in shock. "Oh shit!" Kid Flash cries.
"Yeah, Rob, so the Firing System is really some super firebomb that'll turn…I don't know, all of Washington into a secondary sun. Which won't be good for the rest of the planet, might I say." I tell him.
I hear his heart skip a beat. "Oh," The line goes quiet for about a minute. "Well, we've got thirty minutes before it blows."
"Hold up, what!?" I hear Speedy shout in the background.
"Wait, what about the prisoners? Have you guys met up with KF and Starfire?" Robin asks.
Oh, right. I turn to the two. "Hey, what about the prisoners?"
An explosion is heard from the deck below us. "They were more than willing to help deal with these guys." Kid Flash says a large victorious smirk on his face.
"Right, I'm gonna take a shot in the dark and say that was the prisoners. Okay, I've got a plan, the four of you, head back to the bridge ASAP." Robin finishes.
"Got it," I turn off the earpiece and turn to the three. "Robin wants us on the bridge, he's got a plan."
On the way to the bridge we run into a small group of Gordanians, we make quick work of them. I knock Olly Olly Oxen Free on the door before opening it, on the other side we see Speedy putting down his bow and Omen putting down some debris she's carrying with her telekinesis.
"Here's the plan: Speedy, Kid Flash, and Starfire will look for escape pods. Wonder Girl and Apex are with me, we'll head to the engine room and try to either deactivate the engine or destroy it. Omen and Aqualad will gather the prisoners and direct them to the escape pods." Robin says.
"How will they tell them?" Starfire asks.
"I'm a telepath." Omen simply explains.
"How much time do we have?" Aqualad asks.
"Twenty-four minutes." Robin answers grimly.
"That's not a lot of time." Kid Flash grimaces.
"Yeah, which is why we have to move now." Robin gets up, the two of us follow him out of the bridge, the others following as well. Once we reach a fork we split into our groups and go for our objectives.
Speedy, Kid Flash, and Starfire
"Starfire, you know the layout of this ship better than we do, can you lead us to the escape pods?" Speedy asks.
Starfire has an apologetic look on her face. "Sorry, I do not know the exact location of the escape pods, the Gordanians made sure we never even saw them. But I will try my best to direct us. Who knows? Maybe what areas I don't know will end up helping us."
Kid Flash gives her a thumbs up. "That's the spirit. Well, lead the-incoming!"
A group of Gordanians come marching from across the hall, a massive one with a large minigun in the center. Speedy groans in annoyance as he nocks an arrow. "Apex was right, this thing is a damn clown car."
Starfire tilts her head in confusion as her fists and eyes glow green. "What is a "clown car"? And why is it similar to a Gordanian prison ship?"
Speedy fires his arrow, it creates a smoke screen that envelopes the group of Gordanians. "I'll tell you later…have you ever had Italian?"
Starfire dodges a stray bolt from the smoke screen and fires into it, smirking once she hears her bolt connect, a confused frown then replaces her smirk. "What is "Italian"? Is it some type of food?"
"Yeah, if you don't mind after all this you and I could go get some, I could even give you a…private lesson about Earth customs." Speedy gives a disarming smile as he ducks, while down he swings his bow at the legs of his attacker, bringing him down. Once the Gordanian is on the ground he slams the end of his bow into the Gordanian's throat, knocking him out.
Starfire smiles innocently as she kicks a Gordanian into another. "I would appreciate that, thank you."
"Oooooh no. Nuh uh. No way Jose. Don't believe this guy, Star, he's a known Casanova. Me, on the other hand, I could show you the world, no stuffy planes necessary, and we could go eat some French, or Chinese, all at the source." Kid Flash counter offers.
"I take it those are also types of food?" Starfire asks. She punches a Gordanian who happens to get close, sending him into the wall where he slides down unconscious.
"Yeah, I-wait, where's the big one?" Kid Flash wonders as he stands over two Gordanians that he recently knocked out by punching them with a barrage. Laser bolts come screaming down the hallway, reacting quickly Kid Flash grabs Speedy and Starfire and brings them to a space in between the walls, avoiding the laser bolts.
"Thanks Kid," Speedy takes a chance and looks around the corner, he quickly comes back in once a laser bolt collides with the wall right in front of him. "I'm gonna throw down another smoke, once that happens Kid, I want you to go out and take his gun, Starfire you move in and hit him with all you've got."
"And the other guys?" Kid Flash asks. He already gets into a runner's position, ready to go through with the plan.
"I've got them covered, don't worry," Speedy nocks two arrows, a smoke arrow and one with a segmented tip. "Ready, set, GO!" He fires the smoke arrow, giving Kid Flash cover.
Everything slows down for Kid Flash. He runs out of the space in the hallway and runs through the smoke, avoiding laser bolts from the big Gordanian and the smaller ones. Kid Flash then puts his feet on the wall and runs to the ceiling, running upside down, seeing this as an easier route.
Landing behind the big Gordanian he studies the power suit he is wearing, the minigun is connected to a powerpack on the back by a tube. After some time looking it over Kid Flash eventually finds where the latches are and disconnects them, all without anyone else noticing. Grabbing the armor, he runs back to his teammates and drops the armor, with the minigun attached to the ground.
Time goes back to its normal pace. Starfire looks at Kid Flash, surprised by his speed. "Your turn, beautiful." Kid Flash winks.
Starfire's face becomes serious as she jumps into the hallway, arms glowing intensely, once the smoke begins to clear she fires a powerful blast at the big Gordanian, sending him flying down the hallway.
While the others look at their leader's retreating form in shock Speedy jumps out of the space and fires his arrow. During its flight it splits into multiple thinner arrows, bouncing off of the surfaces and hitting each Gordanian perfectly.
Kid Flash whistles as he places his hands on both of their shoulders. "That was impressive you guys, we'll take 'em all out in no time."
"Your speed is impressive as well, Kid Flash." Starfire compliments.
Kid Flash blushes as he bashfully scratches the back of his head. "Oh, you liar you! But please, continue."
Speedy sighs and shakes his head before smacking his bow into the back of Kid Flash's knee, causing the speedster to buckle in place. "Escape pods, remember?"
Kid Flash gets up and stretches his legs. "Yeah, I remember. Hey, why don't I just run around, I'll find them then, right?"
"Yeah, or you could find the barrel of a gun." Speedy argues.
Kid Flash scoffs. "Dude, I could easily avoid their guns, I mean, did you not see what I just did? Besides, I could phase if I chose to."
Speedy smirks as he turns to Kid Flash. "Oh, so you mastered it then?"
Kid Flash growls as he glares at Speedy. Before their argument could go any further their earpieces go off. "This is Speedy."
"How're the escape pods looking?" Apex replied. For some reason Speedy felt a pit in his stomach, and that this question was entirely rhetorical.
"It's uh, it's going great. Why do you ask?" Speedy wondered.
An explosion is heard, followed by a scream from what sounds like Robin. "Oh, you know, it just sounds like you guys are arguing about stupid things that aren't mission related. That's all."
Speedy gulps. "We're on it."
"Good." The commlink goes dead.
"He's scary." Kid Flash breaths.
Speedy just nods.
Starfire looks at the two confused before walking forward. "Come, down this hallway there is a map, maybe it can tell us where the escape pods are."
The walk to the map is short, and on the way the group walk into two confused Gordanians, they were easy to take out. Once they reach the map Kid Flash groans in annoyance. "Please tell me you can read this." The map looks like any other map out there, the only problem was that all of the words were in Gordanian, which none of them knew.
"Yes, I can. It says the escape pods will be down our next left, then two rights." Starfire tells them. Nevermind, looks like Starfire knows.
On the way there nothing of importance happens, but once they make it there, that's when things get interesting. Waiting for them are two smaller Gordanians with special black armor, to Speedy and Kid Flash they looked like special forces. Between them is a larger one, but not in the sense of muscle, but rather this Gordanian is fat, he is also wearing regal clothing that look like they wouldn't belong anywhere near this prison ship, and once he sees Starfire the Gordanian begins to panic.
Starfire's eyes and fists glow with an intensity that the other two had yet to see. "You." She growls.
Speedy and Kid Flash look at each other and nod. She can handle the big one.
Without any preamble Starfire launches forward, the black armored Gordanians attempt to block her, she just rockets past them and slams into the big one, slamming it into the opposite wall.
Speedy fires an ice arrow at the foot of one of them, stopping it in its track. He fires another arrow towards its shoulder, it catches it and mocks Speedy with a chuckle, Speedy just smiles, confusing the Gordanian. The arrow explodes, sending it headfirst into an escape pod, knocking it out.
Kid Flash runs in a circle around his Gordanian, punching it as he does. He quickly stops and kicks its foot out from under it, before it could hit the floor he grabs it by the face and slams it into the ground, back of the head first, and runs in a circle, dragging it along the ground. He then throws it out of the room.
The share a victorious smile before turning around due to a loud sound made by Starfire. The two turn to see her standing over the now unconscious Gordanian, her fists raised, ready to end his life. Kid Flash speeds over and wraps his arms around her and pulls her back. "Hey, hey, hey! He's down, you won. Calm down."
Starfire's angry breathing shifts into sobs. Speedy and Kid Flash share a look of surprise. Kid Flash goes down with her and comforts her. While this is happening Speedy turns around and inspects the pods, three large escape pods, all available. "This is Speedy, we've successfully secured the escape pods."
Aqualad and Omen
Omen puts up a telekinetic shield, protecting her and Aqualad from an attack by a Gordanian with an energy shotgun. The constant blasts of the weapon rattle Omen's strength, weakening the shield slowly.
Aqualad stands in front of her, and the moment the Omen's shield is dropped he dashes forward, tackling the Gordanian into the wall. Aqualad gets up and hits the Gordanian with a barrage of punches, slowly breaking through his armor as he does. Another group of Gordanians come running around the corner, before they could get closer Omen stops them in their tracks with her telekinesis. She then spins them around rapidly before throwing them towards the Gordanian Aqualad is currently attacking.
Aqualad jumps back at the last second, the mass of bodies collides. "Nice one, Omen. C'mon, let's-"
The large Gordanian roars as it throws all of the others off of it. The Gordanian's armor is heavily damaged, electricity sparking. And the shotgun is damaged beyond repair.
Annoyed, Aqualad aims his fists at the enemy. His fists begin to glow purple, as do his eyes, he then fires an eldritch blast right into the Gordanian's chest, indenting it in the wall, taking it out of the fight.
"As I was saying, let's go help the ex-prisoners." Aqualad finished.
Omen scans the ship, after a moment she finds the prisoners. "Follow me, they're not that far from here."
As the two went they ran into two more groups of Gordanians that they easily dispatched. But they also noticed something: the numbers were getting thinner and thinner. "Take the next right, go down two doors, then left." Omen says.
Once the two take the right they begin to hear explosions, gunfire, and roars of pain and anger. Once the final door opens the two see what looks to be a massive armory/shooting range, which has now become a warzone.
There are dead bodies littered throughout the room from both sides, but it seems as though the Gordanians are losing ground. "I'd say because of us." Omen says, replying to Aqualad's thoughts.
He nods. "Makes sense. Come, let's go help them."
Before he jumps over the railing to join the battle the doors at the other end of the room open. From it emerges a large mech suit, the left arm is a giant cannon while the right is normal, with a sword coming out of the top of the wrist, but normal, nonetheless. Over its right shoulder is a mortar cannon, on its chest are two chain gun barrels, which are beginning to spin.
Acting quickly, Aqualad flies forward at top speed, he headbutts the mech, causing it to lose its footing, the chain guns fire into the roof of the room. Some of the Gordanians turn around and fire their weapons at the Atlantean, but once they do some prisoners take advantage of this by encroaching upon them.
The mech regains its footing and slams its chain gun into Aqualad's side, sending him skidding across the floor. Aqualad shakes his head and looks up to see the mech's blade arm raised, ready to impale him. He just smirks in defiance.
The Gordanian inside the mech tries to bring the arm down but notices that it isn't responding. Confused, he uses one of the cameras to see Omen floating behind him, she's using her telekinesis to hold the arm back. Aqualad jumps forward and punches through the window, hitting the pilot in the face. Panicking, the pilot presses a combination of buttons, activating the anti-intrusion system.
An electric burst goes through Aqualad's system, shocking the Atlantean. The window then begins its self-repair function, Omen quickly pulls Aqualad away, seeing as the window would have severed his arm if Aqualad had stayed where he was.
The cannon on the other arm hums, an ominous green light coming from the barrel. The cannon is aimed at the two.
"We should move." Omen suggests.
Aqualad just nods.
The two leap in opposite directions just as the cannon fires, the force of the explosion sending them careening away. Omen slams arm first into a wall, she feels her shoulder dislocate. Omen lets out a cry of pain. "Lilith!" Aqualad shouts.
He glares at the mech as it stands over Omen, ready to fire again. He lets out a roar of rage as he flies into the mech, sending them both crashing through a wall and into the next room. Aqualad then coats his fists with giant mystical ice fists and begins to pummel the prone mech. Eventually the pilot ejected from the mech, sending Aqualad away due to the cockpit exploding outward.
Getting up, Aqualad runs towards the Gordanian. He grabs the enemy by the neck and continues his attack, punching the pilot repeatedly. Aqualad then hits the pilot with one more punch, sending the Gordanian crashing into the mech, unconscious.
The Atlantean turns around and runs through the hole, to his surprise he sees some of the prisoners standing around Omen, protecting her from attacks. Aqualad kneels by Omen and gently grabs her by the face, Omen responds by gently rubbing Aqualad's cheek and smiles softly. "I take it you got him?"
"I got him," Aqualad looks at her dislocated shoulder. "Are you okay?"
Omen nods. "Yes, I'm fine," She grunts in discomfort as she gets up with Aqualad's help. "Mostly," She taps one of the prisoners on the shoulder. Once it turns around her eyes glow as she makes a telepathic connection. "Hi. This ship's about to explode, we're here to take you to the escape pods."
The alien nods. "Your assistance is appreciated. But first we must clear the path and assist to the wounded before we can even attempt escape."
"One little problem: we don't have much time left. We need to go. Now." Omen walks in front and fires a powerful blast of telekinetic and telepathic energy, throwing the Gordanians around and knocking them out at the same time.
Aqualad smiles proudly. "Don't you just love her?"
The alien to his left just looked at him and tilted its head, confused as to what Aqualad just said.
Omen turns around, her eyes still glowing as she looks over the surviving prisoners. "My friends and I are here to help you. This ship is set to explode soon, we have a team securing the escape pods. If you can come with us, we can help you survive."
"What then?" Asks one of the surviving twelve aliens.
"The Justice League will help you return home; they have ties to the Green Lantern Corps." Aqualad replies.
The aliens all deliberate their options. After a moment one of them steps forward, bowing its head to Omen. "We thank you for your kindness. We are in your debt."
"Well, if you want to be out of my debt just escape," Omen turns around, opening the door with her telekinesis. "Come. Let's get the hell outta dodge."
Aqualad's and Omen's communicators activate. "This is Speedy, we've successfully secured the escape pods."
"This is Aqualad, we've got the prisoners and we're on our way."
Apex, Robin, and Wonder Girl
The three of us run down the hallway towards the engine room, following the path Wonder Girl and I had created earlier. On the way there we run into yet another group of Gordanians. Robin groans in annoyance. "Mother of God, how many of these assholes are there?" He throws down a smoke pellet.
Robin somehow disappears, even with my enhanced senses. Wonder Girl charges shield first into the smoke, her sword raised. I raise my fist and charge up my energy to fire at the Gordanians through the smoke, I activate my infrared vision to avoid hitting Wonder Girl.
As the Gordanians focus on her I take potshots, hitting every target, I also notice batarangs (birdarangs?) flying in from all over the place, also hitting every target. How fast is Robin? Once the smoke clears, we see one Gordanian left standing, this one realizes the position he's in, so he drops his weapons and runs away. He doesn't get far, a taser shot from Robin makes sure of that.
He chuckles as he drops from the roof. "Man, these guys are easy to deal with."
Wonder Girl smirks as she swings her sword, the blood on it flying off. "Didn't Batman teach you to never underestimate the enemy?"
Robin grumbles and gives her a glare. "Let me have this."
As the two have their moment I stand around awkwardly. Back home I wasn't the most social of people, if I wanted a friend, they'd have to talk to me first. Doesn't help that I've spent my first fifteen years here without any human interaction.
Robin notices my awkwardness and puts us back on track. "Alright, that's enough fun for now. We've got a bomb to stop."
Two heavy footsteps echo from down the hallway. Turning the corner, we see two large Gordanians, they both have heavy shoulder pads on their opposite shoulders. They both have large gauntlets with giant fists at the end, once they palm their fists their gauntlets give off electric crackles.
"Apex, how strong are you?" Robin asks.
"The Evolutionary's always been boasting that I'm stronger than kryptonians. But I still feel a fuckton of pain when Mongul punches me. So, take that as you will." I answer.
The two quickly glance at me in shock. "You've fought Mongul?" Robin asks in awe.
I do a so-so motion with my hand. "Less of a fight and more of a me holding him off situation. Haven't seen him since, thank the Gods for that." I mutter. Man, these Gordanians are nice for letting us t-.
One of them charges forward and decks me in the face. Because I didn't see the punch coming it sent my skidding back a good distance. Once I shake off the dizziness, I see Robin leaping around, hitting weak points whenever he can. Wonder Girl on the other hand is fighting both of them head on.
I lock on to the one that sucker punched me. Crouching low I cover my body in energy, feeling myself become more powerful as I do. Leaping from the ground I rocket towards my target; the force of the hit sends him flying into the armory I destroyed earlier. I then grab him by the leg and swing him around, hitting debris whenever I can.
I let go of the Gordanian's leg, sending him crashing into a weapons rack. I then pick him up by the shoulder pad and throw him to his ally, who Wonder Girl decides to throw to me. Great minds think alike. The two crash into each other, becoming greatly disoriented.
Robin rolls forward and throws a capsule at them. Once it connects ice quickly form, trapping them together. "Liquid nitrogen capsule, handy against fire users and for trapping enemies." Robin explains.
Wonder Girl takes the lead. "Engine room isn't far. Let's go."
Following the path made by the two of us earlier we eventually make it to the engine room, waiting for us is a surprisingly small group of Gordanians. The three of us stay back as we look over the room. "Why are their numbers so small? If this room is the center of their plans shouldn't it be more heavily guarded?" Wonder Girl…wonders.
"I'm with you on that one, WG." Robin replies.
I hum. Why would they leave this place inadequately defended? It's entirely possible it could be a trap, maybe some of the bigger Gordanians are hiding, waiting for us to drop in so they could surround us. Which brings me to my next question: how many Gordanians are left? I mean, yeah, there's a surprising number of these guys for just a prison ship, but still, how many are left?
Wait, super hearing. I'm an idiot. Listening carefully, I listen for every heartbeat that's Gordanian on the ship. Hm, looks like we took care of most of them. I mean, Speedy Kid Flash, and Starfire are dealing with what sounds like a minigun right now. While Aqualad and Omen have a mech to fight.
That's it. "Two reasons: one, they're finally running out of bodies to throw at us."
"And two?" Robin asks.
"They don't know that we know about the engine, so they sent most of their forces out, thinking the engine was safe." I finish.
Wonder Girl draws her sword and shield, a large smirk on her face. "Let's prove them wrong."
Wait a minute, are those idiots-oh, they are. I hold up a finger. "Hold a moment," I activate my earpiece. "How're the escape pods looking?" I ask Speedy and Kid Flash.
I can hear their hearts skip a beat.
"We're on it." Speedy shakily replies.
"Good," I turn off the commlink. I look at Robin and Wonder Girl. "Ready."
Robin gets a few smoke pellets from his belt. "Ready," The three of us get in crouched positions, ready to strike. "Set," Robin grabs his grappling hook with his other hand. Wonder Girl places her shield in front of her, I coat my fists in energy. "GO!"
Smoke envelops the room, during the chaos Wonder Girl and I jump into the fray, Robin swings towards the engine. Activating my infrared vision, I fire blasts of concussive energy at the Gordanians. Wonder Girl shield bashes one in the face and crouches down to slash another in the legs.
As Robin attempts to hack the computers connected to the engines he jumps around, avoiding attacks from the Gordanians. "Y'know, this would go a lot faster if you guys would get these guys off me!"
Wonder Girl uses her bracelets to deflect fire from three Gordanians. She angles her arms in such a way that the laser bolts fire back at the Gordanians. "Patience, Robin! You'd do well to have some."
"What she said," I throw some Gordanians towards the ones attacking Robin, knocking the four out. I bob and weave through a wall of laser fire, heading towards five Gordanians, before I could reach them Wonder Girl barrels through them, her shield up. I pout. "You're no fun."
She smirks. "Revenge for last time."
"Quit flirting and start fighting!" Robin shouts, dodging attacks from the last four Gordanians.
Wonder Girl throws her shield, it bounces like a pinball between their heads, knocking them all out. The shield returns to her waiting arm. She puts her sword back in its sheath and puts her shield on her back. "You're welcome."
Robin connects a wire between his glove and the computer, a holographic screen matching the one over his glove. He mutters things about the engine and timers and other shit.
Our earpieces activate. "This is Speedy, we've successfully secured the escape pods."
"This is Aqualad, we've got the prisoners and we're on our way."
"This is Apex, we haven't solved our problem yet," I pointedly look at Robin. "Someone's having problems hacking."
"Hey! Alien tech's not the same as human tech!"
"How much longer do we have?" Speedy asks.
"Rob? How much time do we have?" I ask. A timer appears in the corner of the screen. Wonder Girl and I cringe at the time left. "Yeah, not a lot. C'mon Robin, let's get the hell out of dodge."
"I can stop this." Robin protests.
"Robin, we don't have much time, we need to go. Now." Wonder Girl places her hand on his shoulder.
Robin shakes it off. "I can do this." He affirms.
"R-"
"If I can't do this then half the planet's gone!" Robin shouts.
"Speedy, get your team into the escape pods and get out of here. Aqualad, you and Omen get the ex-prisoners to the escape pods. Wonder Girl, drag Robin out of here." I order.
"What about you?" Aqualad asks, through the call I can hear them head towards the escape pods.
"I'm gonna put this bitch into space."
"I've-" Robin begins.
Wonder Girl throws him over her shoulder, ignoring his protests. As she walks by me, she places her hand on my shoulder, my orange eyes meeting her blue ones. "Don't die, we just met, after all."
I put my hand on her shoulder and smirk. "Don't plan on it. Besides, we've got adventures in our future, I'm sure of it."
Wonder Girl and I nod before she flies towards the escape pods, still ignoring Robin's shouts of protest.
All right let's do this. I mean, even if I get damaged, I still have an accelerated regenerative healing factor, I'll be fine. Totally fine. I take a deep breath and vibrate through the floor. Once outside I see three escape pods, using my x-ray vision I see one with the future Teen Titans, one with the prisoners, and another with some Gordanians. Huh, looks like they can compress. That's weird.
Right, exploding ship. I place my hands on the bottom of the ship and fly up at a speed greater than sound, a sonic boom going off once I'm above the tallest building. I coat my body in an energy shield as I rise up. Once I break atmosphere and arrive in space, I throw the ship away from the Earth, above me. The force from the explosion sends me tumbling down towards earth, flipping constantly as I do. This is fun.
Once I re-enter Earth's atmosphere, I catch fire, but it doesn't hurt. Man, I love superhuman durability. After a few minutes I near the street where this all started. Before I connect and create a giant ass crater, I stop myself with flight, a gust of wind flowing out. I get in a leisurely position and float.
A cool shade stands over me, stopping the warmth of the sun from reaching me. Opening my eyes, I see Wonder Girl standing over me, her hands on her hips and a smirk on her face. It's a beautiful smirk. "You having fun?" She rhetorically asks.
The others stand on either side of her. "Yeeeah, you should join me. It's a thing I tend to do after saving the day." I offer.
She shakes her head and chuckles before flipping me on my feet, as I float, she puts her hands on my shoulders and pushes me down.
A crowd of people circle around us, shortly after they break out in applause and cheers. Robin notices the apprehension on mine and Starfire's faces. He lightly elbows me and taps her on the arm. "Just smile and wave, just smile and wave."
I chuckle and follow his - or would it be Skipper's? – advice and smile and wave. People come up to us to shake our hands, hug us, and take pictures with us. Someone points to the sky. Looking up we see Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Green Arrow, Aquaman, Martian Manhunter, Flash, and Green Lantern Hal Jordan coming down. Batman, Green Arrow, Aquaman, and Flash are standing on a platform made by Green Lantern.
Batman looks around and nods. "Damage is minimal, very few civilian casualties-none of which are fatal-and you are all alive. Well done."
Everyone but Starfire and I widen their eyes in shock.
Superman steps forward and uses his x-ray vision on the two escape pods. "Gordanians in one, but who's in the other?"
"Their ex-prisoners. We were hoping the Green Lanterns would be able to help them get back home." Kid Flash chimes in.
Green Lantern nods. "We can do that. Just gotta make a call to Oa."
"Regardless, you kids did great. Better than some of your past team ups, am I right?" Flash smirks.
Robin, Kid Flash, and Aqualad grumble. What's that about? Wait, I think I know. The first ever team up between the three had them fight Mister Twister, guess that happened here, but it didn't lead to the creation of the Teen Titans.
Speedy then steps forward. "You're right. We did great. Which is why I think we should be a team. A permanent one."
The older heroes look at him in confusion, so do the younger ones.
"I don't know about the others, but I'm personally tired of being known as Green Arrow's sidekick, I'm your partner." He continues.
"Of course, you are, Speedy. And I think I speak for all of us when I say none of us ever thought of you kids as sidekicks." Green Arrow says.
"You were saying?" Batman says, crossing his arms in intrigue.
We all stand beside Speedy as he continues. "We did good work as you said, little property damage, next to no civilian casualties, and we took out the Gordanians, no injuries among us. We could be a team, like the Justice League or the Justice Society, but for teenage heroes who need a place to stay and friends in this wild world we live in."
Flash nervously scratches the back of his head. "I don't know. I mean, a team of teenage heroes without any adult supervision or assistance? That's a recipe for disaster."
"Flash is correct," Wonder Woman adds. "I trust you children to be professional with each other, but the fact that there won't be an adult among you."
The other older heroes look to be agreeing.
Time to take a page from Superboy. I step forward and cross my arms defiantly. "Why are we letting them dictate our next decision? It's simple: get on board or get out of the way."
The others step forward and stand beside me, we all ignore the flash of cameras from bystanders and the news crew that arrived at the beginning of this conversation.
Batman's eyes narrow. "Robin, Starfire, Wonder Girl, and…"
"Apex."
"Apex. With me, Wonder Woman, and Superman. This conversation will be put on hold." Batman finishes.
Starfire, Wonder Girl, Robin, and I look at each other, wondering what Batman's plan is. Aqualad gives Omen a quick kiss on the cheek and waves goodbye to all of us before he and Aquaman jump into the nearby body of water, no doubt heading toward the ocean. Kid Flash gives us all a two-finger salute before he and Flash speed away. Omen and Martian Manhunter fly away after Omen waves bye to us all. Guess she's Martian Manhunter's partner in this universe, makes sense, I guess.
Green Lantern lifts the two escape pods and flies away, towards the Watchtower. Batman activates his earpiece. "Watchtower, I'm requesting a teleportation from my location to the Batcave. Superman, Wonder Woman, Robin, Wonder Girl, Starfire, and Apex are with me."
After a moment Batman orders us to stand around him, eventually the familiar feeling of teleporting washes over us.
I blink as I stumble in place. Regaining my bearings, I look around and holy shit. I'm in the Batcave. I see the giant penny, the t-rex animatronic, a wall of suits, three different batmobiles, the batwing, and other batvehicles.
Batman coughs to gain my attention, turning around I see the others smiling at my awed expression. I blush in embarrassment as I go with the group to the batcomputer. "So, what's the dealio Batmanio?"
Robin chuckles as Batman growls in annoyance. "If you're going to be a team you need a base. Any ideas on where?"
"Seattle? I mean, after today wouldn't we be their heroes?" I offer.
"Makes sense. Robin? Wonder Girl? Starfire?" Batman asks.
"I do not know this planet well, but Seattle does seem nice enough." Starfire says.
Robin shrugs. "I'm down."
Wonder Girl cups her chin. "The Justice League base is in orbit; the Justice Society's is in New York. Yes, having a base on the west coast would be a good idea."
"I'll check in with your other teammates. Now we need to talk about where the two of you will stay." Batman continues.
What? Starfire and I share a confused look. "What do you mean?" She asks.
"The two of you need a place to stay," He looks at me and interrupts my interrupting. "And no, you won't be staying at your base. thankfully Wonder Woman and Superman have offered their homes to you." Batman answers.
"So, uh, is this like a divorce? Do we stay with Superman for the weekdays and Wonder Woman on the weekends? And when did you come to this agreement?" I ask, pointing at the two.
Superman laughs. "No, nothing like that. Wonder Woman offered a place for Starfire, while my wife and I have our home open to you, Apex."
"And this plan was made as we were flying to your location. We had actually planned for this at some time in the future, this invasion just made the formation of this team sooner." Wonder Woman answers.
So, Superman's already married to Lois in this universe and the Teen Titans were going to be formed at a later point. I really did change the timeline, didn't I? I look at the older heroes. "Alright, I'm down. When do we go?"
"Now, actually. There are somethings I need to do. Dismissed." Batman turns around and activates the batcomputer, guess that's his way of ending the conversation.
The ladies wave goodbye as they fly out of the Batcave. Robin uses me as a jumping pad as he heads towards the elevator. "Keep your earpiece! We're gonna hang out tomorrow, got it?"
"Got it!" I turn to Superman. "So, lead the way."
"Later Batman." Superman pats the seat, Batman grunts in acknowledgement.
The two of us fly out of the Batcave. Damn, Gotham's a shithole. Looking down I hear people shouting and screaming at each other, the sky's filled with smog from the industrial district, and a whole bunch of crappy things.
"So, Apex?" Superman asks bringing me out of my thoughts.
"Yeah?"
"What you were saying earlier, about this world being comic books? What kind of stories did we have?" Clark asks.
What do I say? I could talk about some adventures, but I can't say too much that it'd make the timeline FUBAR. "Well, there's a whole range of stories, some are fun little holiday specials, like Darkseid trying, and failing to kill Santa Claus," He stifles a laugh at that. "Others were more serious, like someone getting such bad injuries they had to temporarily pass the mantle on to someone else. Which doesn't end well," Knightfall. "And then there are the one's that change the universe pretty much, where stories after it-even years later-are affected by the end."
"I see. Any about me?"
"It depends. There's a whole multiverse of stories to choose from. Especially with you involved." I say.
"Is-is Lois in any of them?" He asks, stuttering slightly.
For some reason the Injustice universe comes to mind, I swipe those memories aside. "It really isn't a Superman story without Lois Lane in it, one way or another."
Clark smiles as we enter the airspace of Metropolis, City of Tomorrow. He uses his x-ray vision, looking for something. He then turns to me. "Lois is home right now, I told her about the plan with you a while ago. Jon's awake too."
"Jon?" I ask. So, he exists too, meaning Damian has to be out there somewhere too, right?
"My son, he was born last year. He's a smart kid, and he has my powers. I guess he isn't as constant as Lois and me?" Clark says as we speed up, faster than the eye can see.
"In the Elseworlds you and Lois have a whole bunch of different kids. But Jon's more recent and is a part of the official canon." I answer.
"What do you mean "Elseworlds" and "canon"?" He asks.
"The Elseworlds are stories set in the multiverse, meant to show what ifs. Like, what if you ended up in Soviet Russia instead, or if Batman were in a steampunk 1889 version of Gotham having to hunt down Jack the Ripper. It's wild." I answer.
Superman's eyes widen in shock and intrigue. "Huh, that's…something. What about canon?"
"It's what officially happens. Somethings are constant, no matter the universe, like Lex Luthor being your arch-nemesis, or Flash getting his powers from chemicals and lightning. But somethings can be slightly different depending on the universe. In some you and Lex Luthor were childhood friends, but something goes wrong, making you mortal enemies." I continue.
He has a weird look on his face. "Me and Lex being childhood friends? I don't see how that would even begin."
"Most of the time it was meant to add more drama to your relationship." I say.
"I see. Come on, we're here." Superman flies towards an apartment with an open window.
We enter the apartment, inside I see an attractive black haired, purple eyed woman, wearing a Superman shirt and some sweatpants watching a cartoon show with her son. He has black hair and blue eyes; he's wearing a Batman onesie.
Lois walks up to me and offers her hand for a handshake. "You're Apex? You look taller than you did on the news. Name's Lois Lane-Kent, this here's my son, Jon. Say hi Jon."
He gurgles and waves his arms around excitedly. I bend down and wave at him. "Nice to meet you, Jon. My name's Akiyama Daichi. Daichi's my first name."
Jon gurgles some more and pats my hands with his own. I smile at the innocent display. I then get up and turn to the two smiling parents. "I got a room, right?" I ask.
I see Clark in normal clothes. Huh, I don't have anything other than my suit, now that I realize it. "We should buy you some clothes tomorrow. These seem to be all you have, huh?" Lois says.
I chuckle nervously and rub the back of my head. "Yeah, that sounds about right."
Lois and Jon yawn. She picks him up and gets up. She kisses Clark on the cheek before rubbing my hair. "See the two of you tomorrow."
After she puts Jon to bed in his room and goes to bed Clark tells me to follow him. Opening the door at the end of the hallway I see a bedroom, it's got the essentials like a bed and a nightstand, but there's nothing personal about it.
"This is the guest room," Clark explains. "I wake up early, you know, what with me being a farm boy and all. Just thought you should know."
"Right. Thanks, Mr. Kent."
"Please, call me Clark. Goodnight, Daichi."
"Goodnight." I reply. He heads to the master bedroom.
I lay in the bed, but I don't sleep, not yet. I stare up at the ceiling. Wow, I really am here. I'm in the motherfucking DC Universe.
The Next Day
After getting a call from Robin I now find myself standing in front of a pizza place in Seattle, I'm the first one here. Right, my clothes. Lois, Clark, Jon, and I went shopping earlier in the morning and got me a whole bunch of clothes, swim trunks, suits, nice clothes, normal clothes, and all that. Today I'm wearing a black jacket, the zipper down to show my black and gray Superman shirt (which will become more popular in the future, y'know, after Doomsday), I have on white jeans and black slip-on vans.
After waiting a few minutes Omen and Aqualad are the next ones to arrive. Aqualad's wearing a light blue shirt with dark blue long sleeves and black jeans. Omen has a green blouse on and blue jeans, she also wears open toed sandals, like Aqualad.
"Daichi! Hey!" Omen calls out.
"Hey! Uh…" I hate pretending.
"Lilith, Lilith Clay. This here's my boyfriend, Garth." Lilith properly introduces.
I raise an eyebrow at Garth. "That's it. Just "Garth"? No last name?"
He just shrugs. "It is what it is. The others not here yet?"
"Hello Friends!"
Turning around we see Wonder Girl and Starfire walking towards us, ignoring the glances from either gender, mostly men. Wonder Girl is wearing a red Wonder Woman sleeveless shirt and blue skinny jeans, she has sneakers on. Starfire has a white jacket, the zipper not all the way up, revealing a purple shirt underneath. She's also wearing skinny jeans and sneakers.
Wonder Girl walks up to me and lightly punches me in the stomach. "Nice to meet you, Daichi Akiyama, a mutual friend of ours has told me so much about you. I'm Donna Troy."
I lightly tap her shoulder. "That's one hell of a greeting, Ms. Troy. But yeah, our mutual friend had a lot to say about you too."
"All good, I hope." She cheekily smiles.
"All good."
"What are they doing?" Starfire asks.
"Flirting," Garth bluntly states. The two of us back up a little. When did we get so close to each other? "So, what's your name? I'm Garth, and she's Lilith Clay."
Starfire tilts her head in confusion. "You already know my name. It is Koriand'r, which translates to Starfire in your tongue."
Donna chuckles as she places a hand on Starfire's shoulder. "No. They mean your human name, so you can blend in."
Starfire nods vigorously. "Oh! Yes! Then I am Kory Anders, I am from Hawaii, I like to spend long hours at the beach-which is why my skin is orange-I enjoy sports, and I go to Happy Harbor Highschool!"
"Your name alone would have been fine, Kory," Donna laughs. "But the rest is great. Thank you for telling us."
"Ha! You have to go to school. Loser. I'm so smart that no school could ever hope to understand me." I boast.
Garth, Lilith, and Donna share awkward looks. "What? What aren't you telling me?" I ask.
"WE HAVE ARRIVED!"
Turning the corner comes Robin and Speedy. Robin's wearing dark green cargo pants, he also has sneakers on. He has a light green open hoodie on with a blue shirt underneath. Speedy's wearing combat boots, grey jeans with tears in the knees, and a red long-sleeved shirt.
Speedy looks at the group before letting out a sigh of annoyance. "Of course, he's late," He then looks at me and Kory. "Oh! Name's Roy Harper, you guys?"
Kory shakes his hand. "Kory Anders."
He and I fist bump. "Akiyama Daichi, nice to meet you."
Robin stands in between the both of us. "And I'm Dick Grayson."
I tap him on the forehead with my index and middle finger. "What up, Dick?"
He rubs his forehead. "It's all cool, Itachi."
Wait, the thing we were talking about earlier. I turn to Donna, Lilith, Kory, and Garth. "The hell were those awkward looks earlier, huh?"
Lilith suddenly finds the birds atop the pizza place extremely interesting. Garth breaks out in a coughing fit. Kory chuckles nervously and taps her fingers together. Donna steps forward and looks me in the eyes.
"You're going to school."
…what? No. I mean, me of all people going to school? Please, my intelligence is so high I'd run through the school system. Hell, I bet my IQ would challenge guys like Mister Terrific, and he's one of the smartest people alive. I look at Donna and break out in laughter. "Oh, oh man," I wipe a tear from my eye. "Nice joke, Donna, really nice. Almost got me there, guys!"
Their faces are still serious. Dick puts a student ID in front of my face. Looking at it I see a picture of me, the same one that Clark took of me earlier today, I thought it was for my profile picture for the Justice League. Guess I was wrong, on both accounts.
"I'm sorry for your loss." Dick pushes the card into my chest, by reflex I hold it.
Goddammit. Look at this and tell me there is a God. Donna grabs a hold of my hand with the student ID, she pulls out her own with her other hand. "If it makes you feel any better than you should know that most of us go to Happy Harbor. Dick and Wally are the only ones who don't."
Garth throws his arm over my shoulder, showing me his student ID. "Would you look at that, you already have four friends at school, and you haven't even started yet. Talk about lucky."
I sigh deeply then look at the two of them, a grateful look in my eyes. "Thanks guys."
Kory leans towards Lilith. "It is only school, why is he so overdramatic?" She whispers.
Lilith shrugs. "I think it's a guy thing, I mean, Garth can get pretty overdramatic at times too."
"I do not get overdramatic!" Garth shouts.
Lilith just glances at Kory. "Case in point."
"I'm here! I'm here! Sorry I'm late."
Kid Flash comes running at normal speeds towards us, he eventually skids to a stop in front of the group. He's wearing a button up, long-sleeved yellow shirt over a white one with a Flash lightning bolt on it, blue jeans, and red and white hi-tops.
He grabs Kory's hand and kisses it. "Wally West. And who might you be, beautiful?"
"Kory Anders."
"Beautiful name for a beautiful woman," He praises. Donna just makes a noise of annoyance as she puts her head in her hand and shakes her head. Wally turns to me and offers a fist bump. "Wally West. You?"
"Akiyama Daichi. Daichi's my first name." I cheekily answer.
Wally has a fake smile on his face. "Really now?" He then spins around and claps loudly. "What are we waiting for? Let's go get some pizza!"
"We were waiting for you." Roy deadpans.
Lilith looks at her watch. "We've been waiting for ten minutes now."
Wally deflates, his arms flapping at his sides as his mouth becomes a deep frown. "Well I'm sorry, but my Mom wanted me to do my chores, then Dad wanted me to run some errands for him."
"Even with your super speed you could've gotten all of that done in like, two seconds." I point out.
Wally points at me and stutters but doesn't say anything. He then gives up and walks inside the pizza place, the rest of us follow behind.
After getting our private booth (courtesy of one Dick Grayson. Man, it's great having rich friends), and ordering our food we all start conversing about the battle at Seattle. "So, any idea if the aliens from before are home now?" Wally asks, taking a bite out of a slice of peperoni pizza.
Dick nods. "Yeah, Green Lantern came over to the cave to inform us that they're all home."
"And the Gordanians?"
"The Guardians are holding a trial for them." Dick answers.
"Awesome," Roy says, taking a bite from some pasta he ordered. "We're a team now, right? I mean, it's obvious at this point."
"You're right. But where are you going with this?" Garth asks.
"Well, what do we call ourselves?"
"Titans." Donna says.
"Teen Titans." Wally says at the same time.
Donna and Wally glare at each other, waiting for the other to back down so their idea could be the team name. "Why "Titans", Donna?" Lilith asks.
"Because that is what we are, Titans of the highest order. The seven of us, without any assistance from the Justice League or Society stopped an invasion of a city with minimal damage. That's what makes us Titans."
Lilith nods. She then turns to Wally. "And you?"
"I mean, "Titans" is dope and all, but we're still teens, think about it, the media wouldn't put so much pressure on us as long as they remember that, would they?"
"I see your point, Wally," Donna says. "Regardless, we are still heroes, what we do will always have pressure on us. We may as well face it from the get-go."
"Yeah, but a name can do a lot, even when you don't notice it. Think about this: a league is more or less a collection of people or nations united for a common cause. A society is a society is a collection of people living together. Right there you can see the difference." Wally argues.
"And if you look at it, the Justice Society does seem to be closer than the Justice League." Dick agrees.
"Besides," Roy chimes in. "Didn't the Titans of old get their asses handed to them by Zeus and the Olympian Gods? I don't know about you guys, but I don't want that in my future."
"Yes, the Titans of old were defeated by Zeus and his siblings, but we aren't those Titans, we are something more. With our actions we can change the view on the word." Donna argues.
"While we may be kids, we still have a responsibility on our shoulders. And with a name like the "Teen Titans" we might not be taken as seriously." Lilith adds to Donna's argument.
"What do you guys think?" Donna asks, the four of them turn to us.
"I'm with Donna and Lilith. Titans." Garth says.
"I'm with you guys. Teen Titans. Let's have some fun while we be superheroes, yeah?" Roy announces.
Kory looks between the two groups; I can see nervousness clear in her eyes. May as well interject with my meta-knowledge.
"I've got an idea," I announce, everyone turns to me. "How about we call ourselves the Teen Titans for now, and once we get old enough, we drop the Teen and become the Titans? Sound good?"
Wally and Donna look at each other with narrowed eyes before looking at me, they both nod. "Sounds good."
I clap my hands in victory. "Great! I'm gonna take one of your slices, Donna."
I reach for the slice. Donna's hand shoots out and wraps around my wrist tightly, ohhhhh, that hurts, yup, I'm gonna feel that in the morning. "Donna, please," She twists my arm. "Ow, ow, ow! Okay! Okay! Let go, please."
She smirks and releases my arm. I bring my arm to my chest and shake it, my healing factor immediately kicks in. Roy leans towards me, chuckling. "Yeah, don't mess with Donna's food, she's protective of it."
"Protective!? That's putting it mildly, man!" I flex my fingers. Yep, all good.
Wally jerks up, catching us all by surprise.
"What? An enemy attack nearby?" Kory asks, her hands and eyes glowing green.
"No." Wally says. We all ease up, looking at him, he says nothing.
"What?" Lilith asks.
"We need a battle cry!" Wally says excitedly.
We all stare at him, confused on what he said. "Why?" Garth voices the confusion.
"Think about it: with a battle cry we tell villains to beware, the Teen Titans are here. And we get to show the other teams how united we are. Hey, we might even start a trend." Wally explains.
"Weird. Wally tends to be an idiot outside of science-" Dick begins.
"Hey!"
"But this idea of his isn't half bad. God, can't believe I said that." Dick breaths in shock.
"You got anything on your mind, Wally?" Lilith inquires.
"I've got one," He lifts up his drink. "Teen Titans Together on three."
"One.
"Two.
"Three!"
We clink our drinks together.
"Teen Titans Together!"
And that's the end of chapter two and this first mini arc! Thanks for reading, I appreciate it. For this story I have no idea how long it's going to be, all I do know is that we'll definitely reach the graduation of the Teen Titans. By the next chapter I'll for sure have an outline of the arcs for the story.
Speaking of arcs and the story, I have an X-Men fanfic up, called A Sinister Past and a Promising Future, it's currently in its third arc, there's one chapter left, actually. Go check it out please, I'd appreciate it!
Anyways, that's all from me, thank you for reading. Please, leave a constructive review! I'll see you two Saturdays from now. And remember to stay awesome!
