Author's Note: Sorry I haven't updated in a while. I had a case of writer's block.

Keith: Now if Raven would be so kind as to do the disclaimer I can continue on with the story.

Raven…No…

Keith: Then I suppose you won't mind me sharing your secret little hobby of flower arranging. Otherwise, you'd best reconsider that answer.

Raven:…I…hate…you...

Keith: What was that? I think you said, "While you're at it please also share my secret hobby of reading romance novels with the rest of the Titans".

Raven (Glares):…Keith does not own Teen Titans…and if he ever tells anyone about any of that he won't have an existence in this world either.


Slums of West City

After Hotspot had agreed to join the Titans North he had told Terra that he needed to get his things from his residence before they headed out to do whatever they were going to. As Hotspot approached his residence he began to fear what she might think of it. When they finally began to approach the area his home was in his Titans communicator began to vibrate. Hotspot quickly opened up the communicator mentally preparing himself for the worst. As soon as he had opened it a disheveled Robin appeared on screen. "I'm glad I managed to contact you Hotspot. We've received word of a robbery at the West City cultural arts center. We haven't been able to find who the culprit is as of yet but Wildebeest is on his way as well so you should be able to wrap this up fairly quickly. I'll contact you if we have any updates, Robin out." Robin rattled off quickly appearing to have something else on his mind. Terra immediately took notice of his recent conversation with Robin and since she had been unable to hear anything the person on the other end was saying she decided to just ask Hotspot what had transpired.

"Who was that and what did they want?" Terra asked clearly wanting to help all that she could.

Hotspot stared at Terra debating with himself as to whether or not he should tell them the truth and risk the girl getting hurt or to lie to them and sneak off later to take care of it himself. Coming to a decision he told Terra about the situation at hand. "This looks like a job for the Titans North!" Terra quickly shouted out with her competitive side beginning to make itself quite evident. Terra used her powers to summon up a rock from the ground that she, Lightning, and Hotspot boarded and they soon took off. Thunder followed closely behind riding on his cloud eagerly anticipating the battle that would soon take place. They soon arrived at the cultural arts center shorly thereafter bursting through the door to find Killer Moth thrashing Wildebeest.

"Foolish weakling! I must admit you're quite a fighter but you're still nothing compared to Killer Moth!" Killer Moth roared out as he used his ability of flight to nimbly dodge out of the way as Wildebeest took another charge at him.

"When will you learn that all of your attempts are useless?" Killer Moth rambled egotistically as he slammed down on Wildebeest head with one of his legs utlizing the momentum built up by hurtling towards the ground. Upon impact Wildebeest fell to the floor and grunted.

"You want a piece of someone, ugly? Well how about coming over here and having a taste of this?" Lightning shouted angrily as he charged a lighting blast.

"More sheep coming to the slaughter? Oh well, it's your funeral." Killer Moth said nonchalantly as he flew off of Wildebeest and darted at Lighting. Killer Moth stopped in mid air as he realized that he wasn't exactly going up against good odds fighting by himselfwhen he saw three other vigilantes preparing their own attacks.

"I see you've brought friends…so have I!" Killer Moth roared as he summoned forth several of his moths which rammed into Terra, Thunder, and Hotspot, hurtling them through the wall. Lighting quickly grew concerned for the safety of his friends as he saw this event unfold. Thunder could easily figure out what his brother was thinking as he began to engage several of the moths in combat. Thunder quickly shouted out that they would be fine and Lighting should focus on the task at hand. Lightning quickly recomposed himself and turned around only to be slammed into a wall by Killer Moth. "A piece of advice, never take your attention off of your opponent." Killer Moth chuckled as he sportingly gave Lightning a chance to recover.

Lightning quickly got to his feet and began launching electric blasts at Killer Moth that were easily dodged. Lightning grew irritated at his efforts failing and began to launch out attacks even more rapidly. This barrage ended up missing Killer Moth as well but gave Wildebeest the chance he needed to finish resting as well as to get to his feet. Killer Moth hadn't taken notice of this and landed on the ground in order to taunt his opponent again. Wildebeest took advantage of this opportunity to sneak up on Killer Moth and locked him in a choke hold. Killer Moth began thrashing around wildly, but to no avail as he soon found that the grasp of Wildebeest was unbreakable. This display caused Lightning to grin maliciously and fire blast after blast into Killer Moth in order to avenge his wounded ego. Killer Moth quickly lost consciousness and fell limp after passing out from the rapid barrage of attacks. Lightning paid no mind to Killer Moth's current unconscious state and continued to assault him relentlessly. Lightning's attacks quickly began to take their toll on the villain.

Lightning didn't care about what was happening to Killer Moth and continued to attack him ruthlessly. Thunder quickly escaped the battle with the moth minions due to the glimpse he caught of Lightning losing control of himself in his battle against Killer Moth making him realize that action needed to be taken. Thunder quickly raced over to Lightning to stop him before he did something that he would regret. Thunder quickly caught up to lightning and grabbed him in a strangle hold. "What are you doing? Do you know how many innocent people this monster must've hurt in his quest to achieve his own selfish desires! He must be stopped before he can do any more damage! Damn it brother, let me finish what I've started in the name of justice!" Lightning shouted ferally as he began to thrash around rapidly trying to get loose of his brother so he could finish off his enemy once and for all. Thunder was startled for a moment at Lightning's twisted logic before he began to try and talk sense into his out of control brother.

"Look at yourself brother! Look at what you're doing! Is this really what you desire to do? Is this what you consider justice? Take a good look at your foe brother. He has already been stopped from hurting anyone by your own hands. You have done well brother but the fight is over. Your own pride has blinded you to the truth! Have you become so blinded by your own pride you're unable to realize what you're becoming? Is murder of someone who cannot even defend themself let alone pose a threat to anybody what you perceive as 'justice' and 'doing the right thing'? Please brother, stop before it is too late! You are victorious over your evil foe and you are today's hero but you have gone too far! Is murder in the naem of righteousness truly justified? Is it what you believe a Titan would do? You are a good person my brother and a true hero! Please do not lower yourself to his level. If you are truly a hero then you should start acting like one!" Thunder lectured his brother nobly.

Thunder speech had managed to reach Lightning who quickly stopped himself and dropped to his knees in shock and fear. "W…What have I done my brother! I'm so sorry…I have ruined the honor of my allies. I have ruined my own honor…I'm so sorry..." Lightning mumbled shakily as he began to fear himself and what he has become.

"Honor has not yet been lost my brother. No one has suffered the toll of death. You have served to deliver the extent of true justice. Please do not see yourself as worse than nothing. All of the rest of us still consider you a hero." Thunder said trying his best to steal away his brother's anguish. Lightning looked up at Wildebeest who grunted and nodded. Thunder embraced his brother in a hug in order to try and calm him down even though he knew he had a long way to go in order to heal mentally.

Terra, having finished with Killer Moth's minions, returned with Hotspot to see that they have emerged from this clash victorious. "You're quite the strong and noble fighter Wildebeest." Terra said nonchalantly trying her best not to increase the tension in the room anymore than it had already been "I extend an offer to you to lend your services to the fight for justice by joining the recently created branch of Titans, by my own hand of course, the Titans North." Wildebeest stared at the girl for a minute before finally coming to the decision to accept her offer.

After all the introductions had been made Lightning had one thing to say to his new comrade "Welcome to the Titans North."

Author's Note: Yeah I know the chapter was a little off from the genre I selected but I couldn't help but write it. Don't worry; I'll try to get back to the genre I selected with the chapters that I create.
