Hello everyone, welcome to my first adopted story. I think I might do more of these if I find an abandoned story that I want to see continued. Its not quite the same experience having to create and write out the story as it is being able to read it and be blissfully unaware of the plot, but then again that's not the reason I'm doing this.
Since the original version by JP-Ryder was taken down I tried to the best I could with what I remember. That makes things a bit more complicated, but I think that I remember most of it since I read it quite a few times and it wasn't too long of a story at that point. I'll fill the gaps as best I can.
Since this is me going off of memory and memory can be fickle at times, if anyone remembers anything important that I missed (plot points or details from the original story) then please let me know. PM's are preferred so that I can message back if need be.
Disclaimer: I do not own Teen Titans or Marvel, at all.
Anyways, lets get started already…
Seven years ago our world was full of superheroes.
For years, these heroes had protected our world from alien invasions, super criminals, and creatures from our worst nightmares all set on its destruction.
There were several groups from which these heroes belonged to.
The Justice League, adult heroes who united to protect the earth.
The Teen Titans, young heroes that also saved the world time and time again.
But everything changed, starting with the disappearance of one hero.
Beast Boy.
He vanished from the face of the earth without a trace, as if he never existed. But his disappearance was just the beginning, as things only got worse. Much worse.
During a meeting of the United Nations, US Senator William Thatch wanted to set up a defense program to register metahumans and alien residents as he claimed that this would solve the entire problem of super villain attacks and help to monitor superpowered individuals in case they ever became a threat. But that would mean hunting down other heroes as well.
Of course it was never passed as most of the other senators agreed that this was too rash of an idea to be put into place.
But then, the white house was attacked.
It was carried out by the newly allied forces of the Legion of Doom and the Brotherhood of Evil. The Justice League and the Teen Titans teamed up in an effort to stop them, however, this is when shit went sideways.
The Joker was carrying bombs that is filled with highly unstable xenothium. When the bombs went off the resulting blast killed half of the senators, some of the villains, and almost half of the heroes who were there.
The Justice League heroes we lost that day were Flash, Aquaman, Wonder Woman, Plastic Man, Hawkman, Guy Gardner, B'wana Beast, Vixen, Booster Gold and Firestorm. The Teen Titans that died were Cyborg, Argent, Kid Flash, Aqualad, Bumblebee, Mas, Menos, Pantha, Red Star, Hotspot, Jericho, Gnarrk, Hawk, Fire, Ice and Flamebird.
The villains that died that day were Gorilla Grodd, Joker, Two-Face, Brain, Madame Rouge, General Immortus, Mallah, Captain Cold, Trickster, Kitten Moth, Killer Moth, Toyman, Dr. Chang, Dr. Light, Atomic Skull, Gizmo, Mammoth, and See-More.
After the attack, it has come clear to the UN that drastic action must be taken to safeguard against these kinds of attacks. So the UN declared a new legislation to put superheroes and other superpower individuals in their place. The implementation of the Mobile Task Force was created to respond to and hunt for any who opposed the UN and their rule. Superman stepped down from his position on the Justice League and joined the MRTs as a Vanguard, along with Captain Atom, Booster Gold, Blue Beetle, Stargirl, Captain Marvel, and Power Girl.
This has caused the breakup and division of many hero teams, including the Justice League and the Titans.
At first it started out small, but it then became war. Most left Earth to get away from the war Starfire, and Raven, Doctor Fate, Madame Xanadu, Martian Manhunter, Green Lanterns Hal Jordan and John Stewart, and Hawkgirl all went into space and never returned while others went into hiding by retiring from the hero act or stayed to do their job no matter what said. All the while being hunted like animals by the MTF.
It was friend against friend, all bets are off, and one by one, superheroes and supervillains alike fell to their doom. It was the last days of the heroes.
The world may need someone who can end this war, but who.
Who could possibly give hope to a world so fallen into disarray?

Groaning, I woke up and slowly opened my eyes and found myself in the middle of the woods. I don't remember how I got here or even who I am.
As I pick myself up, I notice a nearby lake and walk over to it.
As I gaze into my shimmering reflection and see a young man in his early 20's staring back at me. I have blond stubble and a muscular build. But what's strange is what I'm wearing. A dark green bodysuit that stops at the shoulders with black claw-like stripes on the sides and shoulders, black shoulder pads, a black pointed mask hood, navy blue boots, gloves and pointed shoulder pads, and a red belt.
"Who made this costume? In fact, who put it on me?"
Suddenly I hear a scream. and with no hesitation I run towards the direction I heard it from. With no hesitation I charge towards the source of the scream, using my instincts and superior hearing to locate it. I was fast as a cheetah and swift as a fox.
I come to a stop at the edge of the forest hide myself as I see the scene before me.
A girl is being chased by a jeep full of hillbilly's. She has pale skin, horned pink hair that matches her catlike eyes and a tattered purple dress that shows parts of her chest. She appears to be barefooted, but what shocks me the most is the fact that she has some kind of metal collar around her neck.
Suddenly she stumbles and falls face first to the ground.
POV Change:
I try to pick myself back up but find that I can't thanks to the pain in my ankle. The gang of thugs who've been chasing me pull to a stop and all pile out.
"Looks like you've fallen freak. But don't worry, we'll help you." I hear one of them say.
I turn around to see them surrounding me, all with sick grins on their faces.
"Whaddaya think we should do with her?"
"We don't need to be to hasty, let's have ourselves a little fun before he take her in." The leader asked and he shuffles towards me while unbuckling his belt.
"Hey, who the hell is that?"
Everyone turned to where he was pointing to see a man dressed in some kind of green suit glaring at them.
"Oh great, another costumed freak!" The leader said.
"I've got'em, boss!" Says one of the hicks as he raises his shotgun and shoots the guy in the chest, killing him.
"We got'em!" Shouts a smaller hick.
"I say let's eat'em!" States a much larger guy.
"Why do you want to eat freaks, Georgy?" The leader asked before he turned to me.
"Now, where were we?" He gave a sinister grin as they all turned their attention back towards me.
With their backs turned no one noticed the guy they shot slowly getting back up.
Tears run down my cheeks as he grabs a hold of my legs. I struggle to fight him off, kicking and screaming as he spread my legs apart.
A snikt sound followed by gurgling coming from one of the hicks makes everyone take pause and turn to see him with wide eyes and what look to be three sharp metal claws sticking out of his chest. They are pulled back and he falls to the ground to reveal the man from before giving an animalistic glare along with a snarl. The metal claws that were seemingly coming out of his knuckles were currently dripping with blood.
"OH SHIT-!" One of the thugs said before the man charged him and cut him down. I watched in frightened awe as the man jumped over me with claws from his knuckles raised and he stabbed the hick goons right in their faces. The claws dug into their eyes and the bridge of their noses before he ripped them out, tearing their heads apart. I felt like throwing up after watching the man killed the goons apart. The rest of them quickly joined their friends as the man ferociously cut each of them to pieces. Every gunshot he took didn't seem to phase him and if anything only served to make him angrier. Bullets, blood, and limbs flew everywhere as the carnage took place.
Within a minute all that was left was the leader who fired at him with an assault rifle as he charged towards him. He leaped at him and buried his claws straight into his chest.
Then he turned his gaze to me as he ripped his claws out of the dead man's chest and marched towards me. I thought about running but I had both a sprained ankle and was too paralyzed with fear to move, so I just closed my eyes tight and accepted my fate.
I heard the same snikt sound from before and felt the man grab my collar around her as he breaks it off, shocking the woman. Those collars were supposed to be unbreakable, but this guy just ripped apart like it was a ribbon.
"Are you okay?" he asked in concern, his voice was low yet also somewhat familiar.
I finally opened my eyes to see the man crouched in front of me, staring calmly at me.
I silently nod earning a gentle smile from him.
"Good, what's your name?"
"Jinx." I say.
"So Jinx, what's a little girl like you doing out here all by yourself?"
"Hey, I'm not a girl! I'm 22 years old." I say, slightly offended.
He raises his hands in surrender. "Woah, easy there, I'm just asking."
I then took a second to notice how muscular he was, with a light stubble on his face and though his eyes were covered by white lenses I could still feel the intensity of his gaze and couldn't help but blush.
As I tried to stand up, I was stopped by the pain in her leg.
"You're leg hurt?" He asked. I nodded. "Mind if I take a look?" He offered.
I was hesitant at first but didn't resist as he carefully lifted my leg and place my foot on his lap.
He inspected her slightly swollen and bruising ankle, gently pressed various spots and stopping whenever I hissed in pain.
After a few moments he set her foot back down. "Looks like your leg is sprained, we're gonna need to bandage it up." He said as he got up and went to find some sticks and hardwood.
3rd person POV:
After finding some good-sized sticks and headed back to Jinx where he say her ripping a strip from her dress. She noticed him and a light blush rose to her cheeks when she noticed her thigh is showing, but the masked man didn't notice as he was focusing on her hurt leg.
"I thought my dress would be good for bandages. It's not the first time I've needed to do something like this and I'm willing to sacrifice a bit of my skirt for it, just don't try any funny business."
"Wouldn't dream of it girly." He said with a smile as he knelt down to her leg and set the makeshift splint.
Once he finished wrapping her ankle, she already felt better as the pain faded away.
"Thanks." Jinx said. 'Who is this guy? I've never heard of anyone like him before.'
"Hey, who are you anyway? What's your name?" Jinx asked.
The man paused for several moments. "I…I don't know." He said a bit sheepishly.
"What do you mean you don't know?"
"I can't remember anything. I don't know who I am or what the hell is going on."
"Sounds like you have amnesia."
"If that's the case then talking to me is just going to lead nowhere. What about you, who were those guys you were running from?"
Jinx then went on telling him about everything that happened over the last 7 years, the bomb attack, the new laws against super powered individuals and the UN's new Mobile Task Force. "I still can't believe it, I spent my life being a hero, err more-or-less, saving people, I lost my friends and teammates, and this is how they pay me back, by treating me like a criminal!"
The man didn't know what to say so he simply placed a supportive arm on her shoulder. This helped to calm down and take a breath.
"So, what now?" he asked.
"Well, I was up in Canada when I got word from my friends of where to meet them. I was on my way when those guys ambushed me."
"Well then, lets go there. I don't have anywhere to go so that sounds like as good an idea as any to me."
"Well, ok. There's a town not too far from here. We can stop there to find some clothes. But I can't exactly walk so how am I-EEEP!" She shrieked as he picked her up bridal style.
"How about this?" He said with a smile.
Jinx's face became red as she felt herself being pressed against his muscular chest. "T-this works. But why don't we just take the thug's jeep?"
"I think it got hit with a stray bullet so-" He was suddenly cut off as the jeep, seemingly on cue, exploded.
"Great." The girl said sarcastically.
With that they began making their long trek towards the town.
"So you really don't remember anything?" Jinx asked.
"Not really." The guy responded.
"What about Superman?" She asked.
"Who the fuck is Superman?"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
They arrived at the town which looked like it had seen better days, the current state of the world having not been to kind towards it.
As they continued looking around for some new clothes and some form of transportation, there was something that caught her attention.
Outside a bar there was a pickup truck with a pile of clothes in the back. The two shared a mischievous look as they both had the same idea.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
A drunk redneck clambered out of the bar, laughing as he went.
But as he looked to where he parked his truck, he noticed that it was missing.
"The hell?" He said as he looked around. "Shit. My wife is going to kill me."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Woohoo! This was great. It's been so long I forgot how it feels stealing something." She paused as she noticed the curious look, he gave her. "Don't ask." She said as she climbed into the back seat.
"What are you doing?" He asked as Jinx began taking her shirt off.
"Eyes front buddy. A lady deserves some privacy."
With his face turning red he kept his eyes on the road and continued driving. The sound of ruffling clothes continued for a minute before Jinx climbed back into the front seat, now wearing a pair of pink shorts and a light blue hoodie.
"You know, I don't normally take to bright colours, but for some reason this is just speaking to me."
He chuckled lightly in response. "Looks nice, you should try brighter colours more often."
"Hey what's that?" Jinx asked pointing to something shiny sticking out of his pocket.
"It looks like dog tags." He said as he took them out. Jinx snatched them from him and looked at them closely.
"G. Logan, the Wolverine. Looks like we found your name. What's the G stand for?"
"Beats me."
"Well then, I'll just call you Logan. How's that?"
"Logan… I like it. I like it a lot." Logan said with a grin.
The two fell into a comfortable silence as they drove to the coordinates she was instructed to go to. During this time Jinx went into thought.
'This guy kind of reminds me of that character from an old Hugh Jackman movie. What was his name again… Oh right, the Badger.'
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Miles away in a wooded area overlooking a cabin were several heavily armed and armoured soldiers known as the MTF. The one who appeared to be in charge sat with binoculars staring through one of the windows of the cabin.
Soon, a voice came over his earpiece. "Captain, have you located the target?"
"Affirmative, we have him in boxed in, ready to engage in your orders."
"Proceed. Agent-S is on standby if needed."
"Understood sir." He groaned in annoyance as his hand left his earpiece, he always hated that freak. They didn't need him, if only command would get off their high horse and see that.
Regardless he motioned for his men to get into position as they prepared to move in on the cabin.
Inside said cabin, the lone occupant was scampering about nervously. He wore ripped jeans, a white wife beater, and black boots. But his most unusual feature was the fact that in place of a head was a large spider body. A/N: Am I the only one who wonders how he got a shirt on when he has a giant spider for a head. His eight spider legs carried his dangling frame as he paced back and forth.
But as he passed by the window he froze.
"Oh no. No no NO!" He panicked and dashed towards the back window, crashing through it, and darting into the woods.
The soldiers chased after him firing shot after shot along the way.
Fang turned and shot webs at two of the soldiers, pinning them to the ground, and another in the path to slow the rest down. But as he turned and continued his escape, he was shot in one of his legs which took off the lower half of it and caused him to stumble.
"AAARGH!" He screamed before continuing his escape.
Despite his injury the spider/human hybrid hardly slowed down. As the soldiers continued to pursue their fleeing target no one noticed a large figure leaping through the trees overhead.
Suddenly, Fang was tackled to the ground by an unknown figure. He turned to see a large, muscular man wearing a skin-tight brown and tan-yellow body suit with brown claw-like stripes on the thighs and upper arms, a headdress that covered his ears and cheeks but left most of his hair exposed, tan boots with brown points, brown gloves, and a large, furred collar. He had wild blond hair, bushy eyebrows, and mutton chops.
As he looked down at the would-be escapee, his mouth stretched into a sinister smile, revealing his large, fanged teeth.
The soldiers who had just caught up with the two surrounded them and aimed their guns at the downed half spider.
The Captain looked irritated at the feral man's presence and shot him a small glare.
"Agent-S, you were not called for assistance, we had the situation well under control."
"I'm sure you did Captain, but I grew board and wanted to hunt my prey." His deep voice was cold, yet it also held a tone of glee. It sent shivers down both the half spider and soldiers alike.
With no other real options Fang shot a web at the man they called Agent-S who simply sliced threw it midair with ease. Upon looking at the man's his hands he saw that each finger was tipped with a large claw in place of a fingernail.
He attempted to flee but the feral man pounced at him like a wild animal and sliced off one of his legs before grabbing another and tearing it clean off.
"AAAH, NOO! STOP!" he screamed in agony. But his words fell on deaf ears as the man savagely tore and slashed at him, removing two more legs in the process.
Fang, bloodied and dismembered, attempted to crawl away but was blocked by soldiers.
The Captain walked up to the hybrid man and stared him dead in the eye.
"David Hunter, also known as Fang, you are guilty of violating the UN's Ban and Restriction of Superpowered Individuals."
Despite his injuries, the half spider man let out a low painful chuckle. "So what, are you going to arrest me now."
"Sorry, but we prefer to take a different approach." At this all the soldiers raised their guns to him.
"No, NO YOU CAN'T!"
All the soldiers opened fire on the hybrid's human body, practically ripping it apart. His spider head became separated and attempted to crawl away, but it was stopped by the feral man's foot pressing down on it. With a sadistic grin he stomped down hard, crushing the spider head, and splattering it's remains all over the ground.
Once it was all over, the Captain pressed his earpiece and contacted his superior.
"Mission accomplished; target has been neutralized."
"Well done Captain, report back to base for your next mission."
"Yes sir, thank you Major."
As the soldiers regrouped and started to head out, Agent-S took pause. He raised his head and sniffed the air. The Captain noticed this and cautiously approached him to see what he was doing.
The feral man gave no response and simply smiled evilly as he stared off into the distance.
"Well, well, well. It seems that my old friend is back." He then let out a sinister chuckle. "I'll be seeing you soon, partner."

Logan and Jinx were driving down the road towards their designated meeting point with Jinx's mysterious friends. On the way they decided to tell stories to pass the time, or at least Jinx did since Logan had no memory and thus no stories to speak of in the first place.
"…and so he ran out of there as fast as he possibly could."
"Hahaha! Oh my god, that is the funniest thing I've ever heard." Logan struggled to keep from turning off the road as he held his sides and wiped a tear from his eye.
"I know right, he couldn't show his face to any of the girls for a week after that."
"Well then, as great as that was, how far do you think we are from the meeting spot?"
"Not too far now, it's just-" Jinx was suddenly cut off as a large explosion hit the side of the truck and sent it flying. The truck crashed and rolled into the nearby woods where it smashed upside down against a large tree.
Logan slowly came too and found himself hanging upside down in the wreckage of the truck. The front window was smashed and there were shards of glass piercing his skin.
He looked around despite his blurred vision in an attempt to find his bearings. As he turned to his right and strained to see Jinx hanging unconscious from her seat.
Unsheathing one of his claws he sliced himself free, he landed heavily on the upturned roof with broken glass sticking into his back. Resheathing his claws he crawled out of the shattered front window before moving over to Jinx and gently shaking her awake.
"Jinx, hey Jinx, wake up."
"Ugh my head. What the hell happened?"
"Some kind of explosion hit the side of the truck. Come on, we should move."
Jinx, still very dazed, struggled to free herself but pulled back with a hiss. Looking down at her hands she saw there were shards of glass sticking out of them.
"Hold still." Logan told her. He was about to help her free when they both heard a loud growl behind them opposite the woods. Logan turned around to see a feral looking man stalking towards him with a small army of heavily armed soldiers behind him.
The feral looking man stares Logan dead in the eye with a sinister evil grin. Logan stands his ground, ready to defend himself and his companion in the truck.
"Well then, we meet again Logan." The feral man says.
Logan's eyes narrow and he lowers into a defensive stance.
"Who are you? How do you know who I am?"
"Oh, you don't remember me. I guess I shouldn't be surprised after what happened. But for the time being, you can just call me… Sabretooth."
Logan unsheathes his claws, as does Sabretooth and the two begin to circle each other. Each like a predator waiting for the right moment to strike.
Suddenly, Sabretooth lunged at Logan and brought his fist down. Logan rolled out of the way causing Sabretooth to hit the ground, leaving giant cracks in the earth. The two charged at each other with a flurry of swipes and slashes. Logan tried to go for a killing blow, but every strike was either dodged or healed almost instantly. He pushed himself harder and faster but had little success. Sabretooth on the other hand didn't seem to be breaking a sweat and even seemed to be toying with him like predator playing with its food. Their battle left claw marks in the ground, trees splintered and knocked over, and boulders shattered. But slowly Logan began to tire, his steps faltered slightly, and his opponent took the opportunity to smash him into the ground and deliver blow after blow to the defenseless man.
When he finally stopped, he looked down at the beaten and bloody form of his adversary with a wicked smile. He was about to dig his claws into the mans neck when a peculiar scent hit his nose. He sniffed the air and his eyes turned to the upturned truck a short distance away.
"Well what do we have here. Who are you trying to protect Logan? Lets see what fun I can have with whoever it is you've got stashed in that truck." Sabretooth said as he got up and made his way towards the wrecked vehicle.
Down on the ground, Logan's battered body was in the process of healing itself as he struggled to regain his composure. He turned his head to look at the form of the savage man as he approached the truck with his companion inside.
His senses snapped into focus as a subtle sound of whimpering hit his ears. He looked at the truck and heard Jinx struggling against her bindings. She was going to be at the mercy of Sabretooth. And at that thought, his mind went blank, and he saw red.
Sabretooth approached the vehicle where the other terrified occupant was hiding. He effortlessly tore the door off to reveal a petite girl trapped in her seat. A sinister grin spread across his face at the sight of his helpless victim.
But before he could do anything, a loud roar bellowed out from behind him. As he turned around, he was stabbed through the chest and thrown into one of the large nearby boulders that were still intact, cracking it upon impact. Looking up he saw an enraged Logan charging towards him.
The next few minutes consisted of Sabretooth trying to overpower his rival but proving unsuccessful as Logan threw him around like a rag doll.
After the brutal onslaught Sabretooth was on the ground unconscious covered in deep, bloody claw marks and bits of flesh hanging loosely from his bones.
Logan panted as he took one final look at his defeated foe. Many questions rang through his head as to who this man was and how he knew him, but they could wait for later.
As he looked around, he saw all the soldiers that had been standing by the whole fight now had their guns aimed at him, with several heavily armed trucks on the road doing the same.
He was about to spring into action when a large vine burst from out near the road and grabbed one of the trucks before hurling it at the soldiers. A woman with green skin and bright red hair being carried by a large plant came in and started destroying the rest of the cars. Another redheaded woman in a black suit dived in and took down several other soldiers with hand-to-hand combat and a few more with some kind of throwing blades. A third girl with blonde hair, a red armoured top and pants flew in, throwing some kind of lasso at one soldier and throwing him into another before knocking others around like toys.
At this point Logan decided to go help Jinx out of the truck while these three mysterious women handled the soldiers.
"Huh, I guess seat belts do save lives." She said as he sliced the straps and pulled her out of the wreckage.
At that point, the three women had finished off the soldiers and approached the two. The blonde one immediately threw her lasso around him and pinned his arms to his side.
"Who are you? Why were the MTF after you?" She demanded as she pulled the lasso tighter.
"Cassie, let him go. Its ok, he's with me." Jinx said.
"Jinx, what's going on? Who is this guy?" The girl in the black suit asked.
"This is Logan, he saved my life and he's been helping me to come meet up with you guys. Logan these are my friends Ivy, Barbra, and Cassie. Logan was going to join us in the resistance. Jinx said.
"Have you lost your mind? We can't bring this guy back to base. He could be a spy." Cassie said.
"He doesn't even know who he is. And he saved my life, hell, just before you guys got here, he was defending me from that crazy psycho with the claws." She gestured towards the spot where Sabretooth was before, but he was gone.
"You actually believe that? It could all be a trick, this guy could be lying to find out where the base is, he could lead the UN and the Warden's right too us. We cant trust him!"
"He saved my life, and he helped fight off these task force guys. I trust him, I just need you to trust me."
They paused for several minutes deep in thought. Then Batgirl spoke up.
"Alright, lets get back to base, Batman will want to have a word with him first."

At an elevator at the UN headquarters, formally the Hall of Justice, the elevator doors opened and out stepped a heavily built man in a white and blue suit (Same as the Justice Lord suit bit dark blue where the black is), a large black W was on his chest and a small black version of his iconic symbol rested on his left shoulder. This was Superman, in his new look after joining the UN.
Next to him was his cousin Power Girl, a blond woman in a form fitting long-sleeved white leotard that stops at her legs. A large window opening on her chest shows off her large G-cup breasts and a W-shaped silver clip on her left shoulder that held her red cape.
In front of them was a man in a dark red suit with a hood, black pants, red boots, long red gloves, and a dark red mask. On his wrists was a pair of handcuffs. He was known as Red Arrow, former protégé to Green Arrow.
They walked down the stark white hallway lined with cells. All the while Red Arrow hadn't said a word.
The silence was broken by none other than the big man himself. "You should have joined us Roy. We only want to help people. That's why we joined the UN in the first place, because it was the right thing to do. If you just told us where the Resistance base was then we could end all of this quick and easy, no one will get hurt, I'll make sure of it."
"Like you did with Ollie." Red Arrow retorts, causing Superman to look away mournfully.
"I didn't want things to go that way."
"No, you were just doing what your bosses ordered you to, is that it? That you had no other choice, that you did what you had to." Roy stated, getting more irate by the second.
"Roy… I'm sor-"
"You don't get to feel sorry! You call yourself a hero but we both know the truth. Your just a dog on a leash doing whatever your so-called superiors say. Your a disgrace to every fallen Leaguer, to and everything heroes stand for!"
He paused his tirade as he took a few calming breaths. His eyes shifted to the woman standing on his other side as his face turned into a smirk.
"The same thing goes for jugs over here."
Unsurprisingly this was rewarded with a hard smack to the back of his head from the well-endowed heroine.
"Don't listen to this traitor Clark, he's a criminal just like the rest of them."
Superman remained silent as they went back to leading the younger man to his awaiting cell.
"Here's your new home. But don't worry, we have you sharing with someone I think you'll like." Power Girl said. Red Arrow looked up to see none other than his adoptive mother Black Canary.
"Dinah."
"Roy!"
Then Power Girl shoved him roughly into the cell causing him to stumble and fall to the ground. But Canary caught him and sent a hateful glare at the Kryptonian girl.
"Damn you, you bitch.
Power Girl simply smirked and shrugged off the insult as she closed the cell door and walked off back down the hall. Superman lingered by the door though, watching as the blonde woman helped her adopted son up onto the bench and checked him over for any potential injuries.
"Dinah, I-"
"Spare me your sympathy and get the hell out of my sight." She growled, not even glancing up at the man. He simply sighed and walked off, following Power Girl's lead.
They waited until they heard the two enter back into the elevator and the doors closed.
"Are you ok Roy?" She asked in a motherly tone and allowing him to sit up straight.
"I'm fine mom."
"How are we looking?"
"Everything is going according to plan; now we wait for the signal then set the rest of it into motion."

Richard Grayson woke up and slowly pulled himself up from his bed and readied himself for the day. It had been difficult since he became the new leader of the Resistance, but he was more than willing to take the responsibility.
A knocking at his door drew his attention and it opened to reveal his second in command Supergirl peek through.
"Dick, Batgirl and the others are back. They found Jinx but, there's something else. You need to come and see this." She said.
"Alright Kara, I'll be out in a minute."
With that she left, and he let out a tired sigh before suiting up to deal with whatever was going on.
Outside, Logan was looking around the room of the base. There were people moving about everywhere, large monitors and worktables with people manning them. On the wall on the other side of the room were large windows that showed a huge room that was filled with various stations and people working on various tasks.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the room, Grayson walked out now dressed in his costume as Batman, having taken up the mantle after his Bruce's death, and was getting debriefed by the girls on what happened and who this new person was. Beside him was Supergirl, who had joined the Resistance since she couldn't go with what the UN or her cousin were doing.
"We encountered MTF troops a few clicks from the meeting point, that's where we found Jinx and this new guy." Batgirl said. "They were easy enough to take care of but the fact that they were so close by has me concerned."
"As long as they didn't follow you then everything will be fine, still better safe then sorry, we'll increase the guard rotations until we're sure its all clear."
He then turned his attention to Jinx who immediately explained everything from when she was being chased by the thugs to when they were picked up by the trio but left out certain embarrassing parts that she'd rather keep to herself. They weren't necessary information anyway.
"So your telling me that this guy has no memory of who he is or the global situation?"
"No."
"So we have no real information on who he is, where he came from, or what he is capable of?"
"What's there to know? As things go, he hasn't given any reason not to trust him, and I've seen him in action, the guy is tough."
"What if he is lying. You know how clever the UN and their forces can be. We have no idea what he could be hiding, and you've just brought him right to our base. Do you have any idea how much you could have put all of us in jeopardy."
Jinx looked down and remained silent, not sure how to respond to him.
"We'll talk about this later, right now we need to decide what to do with Jason Borne over there."
"Don't call me that!" Logan called out to them while still wandering about.
Batman was quite surprised at that. How had he heard them from all the way across the busy room. Guess you could add super hearing to the list of powers this strange guy had.
Feeling that he had everything he needed for now, he then sends Jinx to clean herself up before he called this Wolverine, or Logan as Jinx called him, over.
He then told Supergirl to watch over everything for the moment as he wanted to have a chat with the man and see for himself who and/or what he really was.
To Be Continued…
Well, there it is, I hope you enjoyed it. This was both harder and easier than I anticipated. I decided to combine the three chapters worth into one to make things easier.
While I'm pretty sure that I got the main elements I know that there were some things that I missed. Hopefully, some readers with a good memory can help me fill in any major gaps I missed. That said I did the best I could.
I am truly, incredibly grateful to JP-Ryder for letting me adopt this story, I encourage anyone who's interested to go read some of his work. One of the recent messages I got from him really helped fill out some lingering questions and issues I had so a big thanks to him.
I wanted to write down everything I remembered and make the first chapter as soon as I could so that I could be as accurate as possible, though I had to add my own bits throughout. Next chapter will be out whenever I can finish it, from here on out it is all up to me. I've got a pretty good idea for where to take the story that will incorporate the details given in this first bit, I hope you'll all enjoy.
Same as usual, any comments, criticism or anything of the sort is greatly appreciated, even more so for this story.
Thank you all and I will see you next time Titans…
