(A/N: And we are back for one more season! 13 more episodes of my 'Season 10', scheduled to be posted once every 2 weeks.

Starting off with my sequel to the prequel.)

"When there's trouble, you know who to call."

The five teenagers that had just saved Jump City from the Gordanians stood on the barren shore.

Beast Boy pumped his chest. "Us!"

Starfire looked quizzically at Raven. "We are called the 'Us'?"

The cloak-concealed Raven shrugged shyly.

Cyborg let out a stretch and an obnoxious yawn.

"Well, gang, hope we get to do this again real soon! See ya!"

Robin looked over at the cybernetic teenager. "You're leaving?"

"Already?!" Beast Boy whined, ears drooped. "But... what about pizza?"

"I never agreed to pizza." Though, truthfully, Cyborg was craving for some. "Plus, I had some matters to deal with, before Firestar fell from the sky."

"Starfire," Robin and Starfire corrected simultaneously.

Beast Boy faced the other three teens, flailing his excitable arms, as Cyborg walked away.

"Pizza?"

Starfire stared inquisitively. "I do not know what that singular word means. It is the name of a deity?"

Robin and Raven looked at each other, not sure how to handle the situation.

Hesitantly, Raven murmured, "I guess I should get going too."

"Why don't you stay with us awhile?" Robin insisted kindly.

Beast Boy flailed his arms more eagerly. "Yea, Raven! I have tons more jokes to share with you!"

Robin could see Raven grow timid.

"We could really use your help. Starfire needs a place to stay. She's new here."

Starfire added, "Especially since, purely by my observations, we both are the most kindred physiology."

At Starfire's comment, Raven concealed her entire body with her cloak, whilst hiding her blush.

"Maybe a slice. I can't bring Starfire to my home though, it's..." She hesitated, thinking of a word. "... little."

Robin acknowledged her rejection. "I'll bring her someplace, then. After pizza."

"Uhh, guys?!" called out Cyborg from a distance. "I just remembered we were sentimentalizing on this island, and I could use some help getting back to the city."

Robin, Starfire, Beast Boy, and Raven went to a family-owned pizza shop, since the popular parlor had been damaged.

"It's on me," Robin offered, getting up from their table to order.

Beast Boy raised his hand. "Ooh! Ooh! I hope it's not a hassle, but I'm vegetarian. A vegan."

Starfire's eyes glistened. "You are from the Vegan System?! I am as well! From Tamaran!"

Beast Boy and Raven looked at her, perplexed.

"Vegan means I don't eat meat."

"Oh... Vegan has an alternative meaning on Earth?"

Robin stifled a groan. He personally wanted the meaty supreme.

"I'll order two pans."

While waiting for Robin, Starfire continued the conversation.

"Then, your appearance might suggest you are from M'arzz instead?"

This time, only Beast Boy gave an inquisitive look. "Excuse me? Did you just ask if I'm from your ars- "

"No, Starfire," Raven interjected, resisting the urge to face-palm. "He isn't from Mars. He just has a condition that turned his skin green."

"You could sense that too?" Beast Boy asked incredulously.

"With my human sense of sight."

"I understand..." Starfire drifted, now examining the little restaurant they were dining in.

Beast Boy's ears perked up. "Ooh! Ooh! I just thought of a joke! What do ravens like to drive? A rae-VAN! Eh?! Eh?!"

Raven winced and let out an inaudible groan as the green boy erupted in high-pitched laughter.

"What have I gotten myself into?"

On his way home, Cyborg passed by the closed-off site where he and his new friends destroyed the Gordanian fleet ship.

Right outside the perimeters restricted by the police, he spotted a glistening part of the debris. He picked it up, his cybernetic eye scanning its molecular makeup.

"This is some fascinating alloy... Incredibly high resistance to heat and kinetic energy... But with some fortification..."

"Victor!" he heard a familiar voice call out his name. "Your father and I have been looking for you!"

Cyborg, or Victor, watched a boy his age, in the same grey hoodie he used to wear, running towards him.

"Ron, dude, don't say my name out loud."

Ron dismissed Cyborg's request. "We saw the news. Crazy day?"

Cyborg tiredly shook his head. "Crazy day."

Ron was lightly bouncing out of mischievous excitement. He leaned towards Cyborg.

"Check out what your dad added to my bionic arm," Ron whispered. "Made of refined titanium alloy."

He rolled up his right sleeve, revealing a green cybernetic arm much like Cyborg's blue, and pointed with his mechanical index finger at the road right in front of them. His finger beamed out a laser, etching a line on the paved road.

A flabbergasted Cyborg watched in disapproval. Ron's laser then slid farther, towards the damaged Gordanian ship.

But when the laser reached it, it ricocheted to the sky.

Ron added, "He said we can amplify it if we have titanium core."

Cyborg grabbed Ron by the hoodie and turned him around. The impact caused Ron's hood to fall off his head, revealing his half-robot head, also like Cyborg's.

"You don't wanna be messing with whatever gadgets Silas installed in you," Cyborg warned. "He asked if he could do it to me, but I don't think it's a good idea, bro."

Ron pulled his hoodie back on.

"Your father saved us, Vic. And, he gave us these cool enhancements. The least I can do is allow your dad to keep upgrading me if he wants to."

Ron saw the look of disapproval on Cyborg's face. He switched topic.

"They're building a new complex south of the city. Word is that you can watch the entirety of Jump City atop the construction site. Let's sneak in sometime when it's the dead of night."

Cyborg knew what his friend was talking about.

"Are you nuts? What if we get caught? Or worse, what if we slip? That's 60-something storeys and construction had just barely started!

"Dude, your body ended up this way because of a reckless decision you made. You admitted it yourself! I won't watch you make another."

Ron made a disgruntled face, but pushed no more.

"Your dad wants you home, by the way."

The lights were flickered on, revealing a hi-tech flat the size of a shoebox apartment - one of Robin's hideouts. He entered carrying a bag of sleeping gear, Starfire following. Night had fallen. Beast Boy and Raven respectively returned to their accommodations, while Robin brought Starfire to where she would be temporarily staying.

"This is where I will take up the residence?" she asked as she inspected the room. "It is no larger than the innards of a Pordkins."

"What?" Robin shook his head as he lay down the sleeping bag and pillows. "I'm sorry. It's more of a studio, not for sleeping in, but it's the only other place I got in Jump City other than my own. And it's secure. Not Gordanian-secure, but I doubt that's an imminent threat."

Finished with the setup, Robin stood up and found Starfire standing directly opposite him. She reached for a hug, and a blush escaped him, along with his breath.

"Your hospitality and act of the nice are much valued, Robin. I shall make the do with the homestay. The level of technology will perhaps be enough for me to construct a device to contact my ganorfka."

"H-huh?"

Starfire noticed Robin's body getting hot. "You are... heating up?"

"Huh? N-n-no," Robin distanced himself from Starfire. "I will, uh, pick you up in the morning."

Starfire stared inquisitively at him. "Do you mean, when our side of this planet faces the nearest star?"

Robin blinked inquisitively. "The sunrise? Uh, yeah."

After helping her get settled, Robin made his way to the door, hands on the light switch.

"Goodnight, Star," he wished as he turned off the lights.

"Pleasant shlorvax."

Robin closed the door, and shook the crush-filled jitters out of himself as he set foot home.

Cyborg busted through the door of his own home, where he and his father were living in. He walked up the stairs, and barged into his father's room.

"Victor!" his father yelled at a disgruntled Cyborg. "Can you be just a tad gentler to the door?"

Cyborg found his father, Silas Stone, working on a device. As usual.

"You gave Ron a weapon!" Cyborg scolded. "He doesn't need a weapon! We don't need weapons! Not necessary!"

Silas stopped his tinkering and faced his son. He grabbed his robotic arm and held it up, inspecting it.

"You repurposed your arm into a blaster?" he correctly concluded. Cyborg pulled his own arm away. "And you wouldn't let me do it for you."

"It was an emergency," Cyborg explained. "To save the city. I'll remove it. But Ron has no use for lasers, dad! I know what you're trying to do -"

"And what am I trying to do, Victor?" Silas and Cyborg eyed each other, cold glares.

Cyborg let out a huff. "You better not hurt my friend."

As Cyborg walked away to his own room, Silas spoke. "I'm not hurting him. He was already hurt. Like you."

Cyborg slammed the door to his bedroom shut, which caused a hanging picture frame to crash to the floor. He picked up the photo of his younger, full-flesh self, with his father, and his mother.

"Wish you were here to knock the sense into dad, mom," he whispered.

BEEP! BEEP!

Cyborg answered the incoming transmission on his forearm, revealing Beast Boy.

"Wassup, dude!"

"Beast Boy, hey." Cyborg could see in the background that Beast Boy's place was very, very messy.

"Did you get to sort out your matters?"

"Sort of."

"Sweet! We missed you!"

Cyborg smiled. "The others went home?"

"Yup! Raven did her black magic thingy, while Robin took Starfire to his second place 'cause, apparently, he has a second place. Dude's gotta be loaded."

Cyborg raised a cheeky eyebrow. "Robin took Starfire home?"

Beast Boy waggled his. "He's totally into her."

The young shapeshifter then revealed a Gamestation console.

"You got Gamestation?"

"Aww yeah!" Cyborg rushed to his bed and picked up his console to show Beast Boy, to his puppy-like excitement as they both went online.

Over the next few days, Robin had invited his new friends to his secretive place of residence, which turned out to be a giant training base.

"And this is an equipment commonly used in martial arts training," Robin introduced the Wing Chun wooden dummy to Starfire. He demonstrated how to use it, the alien watching curiously.

"Interesting! May I play with this?"

Robin was reluctant, having had an idea of her strength. But apparently, being granted permission wasn't a common manner in Tamaran, for Starfire had proceeded to punch the top of the dummy, spinning it wildly before it broke away.

"... Sure."

Beast Boy had picked up a dumbbell and was trying to converse with Raven, who was inspecting the concrete Chi Ishi.

"Do you need clothes, Raven?" he asked, concerned that she was only in a leotard and a cloak. "You must be cold."

Raven withheld a cringe. "And you're in tights and your transformations are naked. If I'm cold, you should be freezing."

The changeling was slightly taken aback. "Didn't mean to offend. I was just wondering if your costume helps with aerodynamic flight or sumthin'..."

"It's not a costume. It's my clothing."

"Okay... Does it make you aerodynamic?"

Raven groaned. Robin approached the two, interrupting their one-sided conversation.

"Hey, Beast Boy, did you say you want Starfire to help you with strength training?"

Beast Boy nodded excitedly. "I wanna be more muscular!"

He transformed into a puppy and ran to Starfire on the heavy weights while Robin checked up on the withdrawn Raven.

"He a bit much for you?"

Raven looked at him, her stares blank with a hint of exasperation. "Thanks for noticing."

"I can tell." He placed a reassuring hand on her shoulder. "The kid means well. He can come across insensitive and intrusive but -"

"He won't stop telling me jokes that hardly qualify as jokes, and now won't let up about how exposed my legs are."

Robin let out a chuckle, startling the enchantress.

"What?"

Robin apologized. "Nothing. Your snark cracks me up."

They heard grunts from across the room, and briefly watched Beast Boy struggling to lift the barbell that Starfire had singlehandedly handed to him.

"Why don't you just tell him to quit it?" Robin asked.

Raven continued to stare at Beast Boy's pathetic weightlifting attempt.

"I didn't wanna hurt his feelings. I sense that his jokes are important to him; a way to mask his hidden feelings."

"Is that what you sensed when we were searching for Starfire? Emotions?"

Raven heard a shuffle and watched Robin lift up a large iron rectangular ring, not realizing it was another training equipment.

"That, and a bit of soul. It's evasive, but I wouldn't use it unless I have to. Or, in Beast Boy and Starfire's case, if it's overwhelming."

Robin looked at her as he lifted the Kongoken all the way up. She continued.

"For instance, I assume that with your mask on, you prefer to maintain your privacy. Overstepping boundaries isn't my thing, considering I have my own."

Robin set the equipment down. "Thanks. We may need your powers in crucial moments. I may need them.

"So you can sense emotions, but he can't. You might wanna be a bit open with him."

"As you can see, openness isn't my forte, especially if the person emotionally sets me off. Besides, he seems preoccupied right now."

The avifauna-named teens turned their heads towards the other two teens, watching Beast Boy finally lifting up the barbell, trembling, with Starfire's physical support. She released her finger holding the equipment up, and Beast Boy dropped it to the floor, comedically pulling himself down with it.

"Friend! Are you all the correct?" Starfire knelt down beside Beast Boy.

Beast Boy moaned. "I'm alright... Perhaps I'll exclusively weightlift as a gorilla for now..."

BEEP! BEEP!

Robin answered his communicator. "Cyborg!"

Raven, Starfire, and a hummingbird Beast Boy hovered behind Robin.

"Sorry I had to bail out of today's meet-up, man," Cyborg apologized. "They're holding the cybernetics convention today and I'm on the hunt for new tech."

"Cyborg, wonderful!" Starfire squealed. "We could have done the tagging along!"

BOOM!

On Robin's screen, the four teens watched in utter shock as an explosion occurred wherever Cyborg was. They saw the blast before his transmission abruptly ended.

"That can't be good," Raven muttered.

Beast Boy transformed back into human and landed next to Robin.

"Dudes, what on Earth was that?!"

Robin ran out of the training arena and into his living room, his fingers on a panel as he searched for current events. Starfire, Raven, and Beast Boy flew after him.

"The cybernetics convention is happening at the Tethys Cruise Ship near the bay bridge," Robin reported.

Beast Boy reverted from his falcon form, confused. "Tetris?"

"Tethys," Raven corrected. "The Titan goddess of fresh water."

"Ooh there are deities on Earth!" Starfire exclaimed. "Do you know X'Hal?"

Robin ignored their dialog, searching for surveillance footage, and found one capturing the current ship, which was emitting smoke.

"If no one does anything about the explosion, the Titan goddess of fresh water will become the Titanic."

"Let's go, then!" Beast Boy urged. "We gotta save Cyborg!"

Raven followed Beast Boy flying out of the room as a hawk. "And everyone else on it."

Starfire looked at Robin, and extended her arm to him.

"Do you need the lift?" she offered. Both slightly blushing, Robin grabbed her hand, and she flew after Beast Boy and Raven.

"Come on, y'all, get on the lifeboats in an orderly manner!" Cyborg assisted the panicking elders and children, carrying them to the lifeboats to get out of the sinking cruise ship.

He was helping with the evacuation. He then heard a familiar Zing!, and looked up to see a beaming laser.

"Ron," he muttered, excusing himself out of the effort in search of his friend.

He found Ron in the air on a jetpack. His cyborg suit had gone through another makeover, this time looking more armed and battle-ready.

"I should've known Silas wasn't just working on a S.T.A.R. Labs project," Cyborg said before calling out. "Ron! What are you doing, man?! You're risking lives here!"

Ron looked down at his friend. "Isn't this cool, bro?! You turned this down! I'm retrieving the titanium core!"

Cyborg was stunned. He couldn't possibly be. I don't think it's even on this ship.

"You better get down before you cause more damage!"

Ron lowered himself to Cyborg's level, face to face.

"Make me." Ron then aimed his sonic cannon arm at Cyborg. Cyborg did the same, engaging in a match of the sonic cannons.

Ron then received internal transmission from Silas Stone.

"The titanium core is apparently not on the ship. I've detected the core in the Wolfram Building."

Ron nodded, still blasting. "Your son's in the way. I think I got the upper hand but he's gonna stay on my tail."

"Then destroy the weapons he's given himself. I'll repair him later."

Ron smiled mischievously as the transmission ended. He turned up the power of his cannon. Cyborg, already struggling, met his match and was blasted backwards.

Cyborg groaned. When he opened his eyes, Ron was looking at him, holding his cannon arm.

"Sorry, bro," Ron said. "Father's orders."

"No - Argh!" Cyborg felt the pain as Ron broke his hand. "Ron, you don't want to do this! Silas is just using you."

Ron laughed as he tossed the broken robotic hand into the sea. "If you're against your own father so much, why do you still live with him?"

Ron flew off with his jetpack as Cyborg regained his bearings. His friend was about to retrieve the titanium core, but he had to help the innocent get to safety first.

"Cyborg!" eventually came a familiar voice.

Cyborg looked up at Robin, and saw him, Raven, Starfire, and Beast Boy in the air.

"Friend! Are you the all left?" Starfire checked Cyborg's damaged hand.

"Never mind me, Star. You need to help everyone here get off the sinking ship!"

Beast Boy resumed human form and began helping, and so did Starfire.

"Raven, Robin, I need your help," Cyborg explained. "My friend and my dad are retrieving this unstable titanium core. We have to stop them."

Robin nodded. "Raven can teleport us to land first -"

BOOM!

There was another large explosion, this time on the land. Gasps sounded all over the sinking ship and on the lifeboats.

"That's the Wolfram Building," Robin noted based on his observation.

Raven's eyes glowed black. "I'll take us there."

The three arrived at the scene of the crime. Cyborg did a quick scan of the exploded building, with more people evacuating, in search of Ron.

"Cyborg, over there!" Robin pointed near the entrance, and there he was, severely hurt, circuits and all exposed.

Cyborg ran to his friend's side.

"Ron, did you cause this?"

Ron winced, and weakly responded, "I didn't know the titanium core would cause this reaction. Ow... Ugh..."

Cyborg was filled with anger. Not at Ron. At his father.

"He's severely injured. I can try to heal him for a start." Raven's hands began to glow light blue, using her magic on Ron.

"I need you to take me to S.T.A.R. Labs," Cyborg told her.

Raven stopped healing and looked to Robin, who nodded.

"Go. I'll handle the evacuation."

Raven stood beside Cyborg, about to teleport them.

"I need to pick up some Gordanian metals first," he said, showing his damaged hand. "Repairs required."

After quickly fixing his hand, Raven teleported herself and Cyborg to a S.T.A.R. Labs, where his father was.

Cyborg stood outside the door, his new sonic cannon made of the Gordanian metals aimed at it.

"Silas! You risked my friend's life for your stupid science project. I've been quiet, thinking that I owe you that much, but this has gone too far."

Raven stood back, letting Cyborg air out his dirty laundry. Silence followed. No reply from the other side.

The door creaked open, revealing Cyborg's father.

"I'm sorry, Victor. You're right." Raven could feel the guilt radiating out of Silas.

Cyborg's sonic cannon was charging. "Are you sorry?"

"I sense his guilt," Raven informed him.

Cyborg continued, "You know mom died in a horrible explosion accident. The task you gave Ron today caused two explosions."

"I realise it now. I thought I was helping Ron, and you, by preparing you with the tools to defend yourselves. When I managed to save you, I thought I was finally doing something right."

"You were, dad. But, at this moment, you're wrong. Ron will be okay. It's not too late to stop."

Silas nodded, dropping every apparatus in hand. Cyborg lowered his cannon.

"You've grown into your own man, Victor," Silas said. "Your mom would be so proud."

Victor smiled. "She'd be proud of you, too."

They both smiled in understanding.

"So, uh, she's one of your new friends, huh?" Silas nodded his head at Raven.

"Nice to meet you," Raven deadpanned.

"You guys aren't... uh... dating, are you?"

Raven and Cyborg's eyes widened. Raven felt nauseated at that question.

"N-no, dad, no!" Cyborg stammered.

"I should give you two a moment and help Robin," Raven murmured as she teleported out of there.

"Jump City News reporting from Pier 41, where a group of superheroes have just rescued everyone present at the cybernetics convention that's supposed to take place at the cruise ship. The same group also assisted in the evacuation at Wolfram Building.

"I am joined by two of these saviors. Please, how should we call you?"

Beast Boy flashed his toothy grin at the camera.

"This is Starfire and you can call me Super Beast!"

Three groans were heard as the five young heroes watched the news in Robin's place. Cyborg and the girls were on the couch, while Robin and Beast Boy were on the floor.

"We seriously made Super Beast take PR," Cyborg muttered.

"What? The name totally works, right?"

No one answered Beast Boy as they kept watching.

"This is the second time this month you saved the city," continued the reporter. "The first time was from an army of aliens. Are you an official team?"

"Yes!" Starfire giggled. "We are the group!"

"Totally!" Beast Boy concurred.

"Any name? Wonder Teens? Teen Justice? Teen Patrol?"

Raven muttered sarcastically, "Can't wait to hear this one."

Beast Boy and Starfire glanced at each other.

"I suggest the name Tethys!" Starfire suggested on-the-spot, not realising the reporter was asking for the name of the superhero team. "It is the fun name of the deity of Earth!"

"What?! No way, dude, not Tetris!" Beast Boy objected on TV. "What did Raven say that was? The Titan of fresh water? Laaame!"

Raven and Robin collectively face-palmed.

"How about the Titanic? It is also the funny name!"

TV Beast Boy groaned. "Nothing funny about the Titanic, Star. The ship sunk in icy waters, drowning and freezing people to death."

"Then we shall remove the icy so that our ship may not do the sinking!"

Beast Boy scratched his head. "Remove the 'I.C.'? So, like, Titan?"

"It appears you have not had that figured out," the reporter interrupted their discussion. "Nevertheless, we are grateful to have heroes like you protecting our city."

Robin turned off the TV.

"I can't watch it anymore."

"Although, that was slightly amusing," Raven commented.

Beast Boy's eyes were starlit, staring at Raven. "So you finally admitted that I'm amusing. You know, Raven, you have a funny way of showing affection."

Raven face-palmed. She did it again.

"That reminds me! I got another joke, Rae! Why did -"

Raven's eyes and hair glowed black, the latter hovering messily. Cyborg and Starfire sprung out of the couch.

"Your jokes aren't funny!" she bellowed in a demonic voice. Beast Boy tilted his head way back until he saw her face, releasing a single intimidated squeal.

Bridling her emotions, she shut her eyes and mentally chanted her mantra. With full restraint she held herself back, but that didn't prevent one spark of energy from telekinetically snatching the remote out of Robin's hands and lightly throwing it at Beast Boy's head.

"Um... Ouch?"

Raven reverted to her usual self, now apologetic. "Sorry for hitting you with the control."

Beast Boy returned the remote to Robin as he replied, "I forgive you. The 'Ouch' was for the jokes bit."

The three other heroes looked away, not willing to lay the truth to Beast Boy the way Raven just did.

Robin checked the time. "It's getting late, everyone. You may want to head home."

"Aww, dudes, I was hoping we could have a sleepover and play Twister or somethin'!" Beast Boy whined. "Cy, you can stay with me if you want while your dad and bud take jail time."

Cyborg got up, disregarding the offer to live in Beast Boy's messy home. "Actually, I have a proposition to make."

Everyone looked up at him.

"I've been in talks with my father and, well, he agreed to help us build a tower on the island with the leftover Gordanian metal alloy."

"Aren't there permits and legal works that need to be cleared to build stuff on an island?" Raven wondered out loud.

"I can help with that if required," Robin offered. "What are you suggesting, Cyborg?"

Cyborg smiled. "The tower will be able to fit more than five. We've banned together twice now. I think that qualifies as a career choice. That awful PR stunt sorta solidified it."

The five heroes looked at one another, all displaying their own expressions of excitement at the prospect of living under one roof as one team.

"Because of the limited land space, the base of the tower will be narrow, but we can make the space wider the higher the floor."

"So, like a T-shape," Beast Boy uttered. "As in for 'Teen'."

Raven muttered, "For a moment there, I thought you were gonna say 'T' for 'Tetris' or 'Titan'."

"Teen Titan Tethys!" Starfire giggled. "Are we already playing the game of Twister? My tongue certainly feels so."

A bead of sweat dripped down the back of Robin's head as he forced a kind smile at Starfire's suggestion. "Maybe we'll reserve 'Teen Titan' until we can think of a better name."
