Prologue

The morning was calm and quite, not a single breeze disrupted the dark sky. Robin sat on the roof of Titan Tower looking at the faint outline of Jump City. He lay on his back, his head tilted at a slightly uncomfortable angle as he waited for the sun to rise. The door to the roof opened quietly, startling Robin out of his dazed daydreaming. He sat up and turned to see Starfire walking quietly across the heavy steel roof shields and sitting next to him on the edge of their home. He took a short moment to look at her then turned his attention back to the rising sun. Starfire put a small hand on Robins shoulder but didn't say a word. The opening of the roof door sounded again and Beastboy and Raven walked onto the deck, followed soon by Cyborg. No one said a word as they all stared at the blazing sunrise, knowing what today meant. It had been exactly two years exactly since they had brought down their deadliest enemy they had known as a team. The momentary silence that was suspended over everyone's head broke as Beastboy (getting slightly bored with the moment) turned to his friends:

"Breakfast". He said shortly, and then walked back to the roof door. He stood holding the door open as Cyborg nodded and the Teen Titans walked down to the kitchen and ate one of the best meals they had been able to eat for the last two years.

In another location, a glowing hooded figure stood, watching the rising sun. He soaked in the early morning rays. "Today", the figure said.
