Disclaimer: Don't own. Never will.

Authors Note: Thanks for the reviews so far. This one is a bit longer because I decided to place in some of the other Titans reactions to the Media, and, something big's going on as well. Look out for it. Also, I took a bit of a leap and searched for the Honorary Titans back history. Hope it didn't fail!

Random Quote:

Jinx: Don't you get it? This is our chance to impress the Brotherhood of Evil. We catch this do-gooder and turn him in; they might even offer us membership.
Billy 1: What's wrong with the way things are?
Billy 2: Billy's right. We don't need a bunch of old goats gettin' in our bidness.
Gizmo: Yeah. Who needs 'em?
Jinx: Suit yourselves. But when I'm playing in the big leagues and you're still robbing parking meters, don't ask me for any favours.
Billy: Y'all wanna build a fort out of sofa cushions?
Gizmo, Mammoth, Kid Wykkyd (Nodding): Yeah

Pairings: As much as I have tried to make this a none romance fiction piece, I have failed. From this moment on these are the pairings I have roughly planned out. Don't like them? Please don't leave flame reviews. There will be some romance but not a lot, remember, most of the time it will be revolving around the main plot – and out mystery subplot.

RobStar : A personal favourite of mine, but don't worry RobRae fans, there will be some brief fluff.

Rob/Rae : Like I said above, brief fluffy moments, but for the rest of the stories sake, friendship pairing.

BB/Rae : As much as I like BB/Terra, I have to admit that Terra is a lump of rock in this story – sigh – and therefore cannot be used. So here's BB/Rae

Cy/ It's a surprise : Cyborg will play a big part in this story, however, he will remain behind the curtain for a while. He'll have quite a few pairings, such as Cy/Jinx, Cy/Bee and some Cy/Argent – yes, yes I know WTF? But trust me, he'll have someone by the end.

Kid Flash/ Jinx : Not one of my favourite pairings, but it's one of the cutest out there. Not sure if they'll stay together.

Rob/Batgirl : I'm still clinging to the old pairings, but don't worry, it's Rob/Star all the way for me, but we will see some interesting flashbacks and fluff moments from this pairing.

OoOoOoOoO

Now, Titans East had come to face many strange opponents and objects in their brief time together – but nothing was stranger to the five heroes as the two men at the door.

Bumblebee looked at Speedy and Aqualad upon their outburst.

"You. Know. These. Two?" the statement was said slowly, through clenched teeth, her wings began to spark up with anger and Speedy swore he saw flames coming from her eyes.

"Oh, yeah, haven't I told you about GA?" Speedy fumbled with his words.

"No, I believe you forgot to mention him." Bumblebee advanced, "But we'd just love to hear about him and," she whirled on Aqualad, "Don't think I've forgotten you! Both of your friends, wouldn't we Mas? Menos?"

Under the influenced of their Leaders(!) rage, all Mas and Menos could do was nod. They'd seen what she'd done to the many villains that had annoyed her – what she'd done to Cyborg – and they weren't about to get on her bad side.

Catching sight of the men, who by now where looking rather freaked out, (one now identified as Speedy so nicely put it as GA,) Bumblebee straightened up and her voice suddenly turned sickly sweet.

"Would you like to follow me please?" with a dainty smile she made her way into the Main Room and beckoned the six in the hallway to join her.

Without waiting, the rest of Titans East rushed in.

"Arthur?"

"Yes?" the unidentified occupant replied.

"I think we're in way over our heads."

Arthur, rolled his eyes. It was amazing. This man could face nearly half of the weirdo's that challenged him with a cocky smile and a witty comment, but when put against an angry girl and a group of teenagers. Well, you get the picture.

Still.

"I think you're right," with a brief glance at each other, the two made their way into the Main Room and prepared for the worst.

OoOoOoOoO

Argent let loose another volley of plasma energy and formed it together into a giant hand.

"I can't." The answer to the former question was simple enough. Well, hopefully enough to make her purser stop asking.

"Aww. C'mon Toni(!) We need you, and I know you want to help."

"Don't call me that!" she waved the giant hand at her friend, "at least not here. Listen, I know I want to, but there's just so much to do here, and if I'm seen with you!"

"What's that supposed to mean!" He was affronted now. Great.

"I didn't mean it like that! You know I didn't" The giant hand wavered over a heavy package, "It's just, they got the stuff with me and Herald from no where, if they got wind of something with proof.."

"But we're not, you know. Dating."

"I know we're not, but Reporters tend to take things the wrong way. I mean, look at what happened with Beast Boy and Starfire. She grabs him to stop him falling to his death and they take it as a token of their dying love for each other." She made a giant heart and put the hand to it to stress her point. "Fact is, proof or not, they can print anything they want and we can't do anything against it because, oh what was it that reporter said? Oh yes, 'protecting the truth.'"

A laugh, "Is that all you're worried about? Let them think what they want! If we hide away like ya'll are doing, they'll just think something is going on. See the logic?"

Argent cocked her head to one side. "Never thought of it that way. Fine, I'll come."

"Now alright!" The figure came into the light.

"I just hope you're right about all this Cy.."

OoOoOoOoO

Barry stared. He had expected to find his nephew in one of those high tech towers he had heard so much about, not this, defiantly not this.

"So.." he walked foreword, suppressing a scream as a black rat ran over his foot, with a shudder, he carried on, "Alright?"

Kid Flash, or I suppose we could call him Wally now that his mask is off, stared back, equally shocked. He had expected a massive argument when he came to meet his uncle again, not a 'Alright?'

He and Barry hadn't parted on the best of terms when he said he wanted to go solo. But hey, if he was being civil, he wasn't going to let the moment pass.

"Um..Yeah..You?"

"I've had worse days." The elder sat down.

There was an awkward silence until Barry spoke up.

"So, Jinx, huh?"

Wally jerked, shocked. "How do you know about her?"

Barry rolled his eyes and slide a paper across to Wally, "Page three, paragraph six."

With trembling hands, he picked it up and turned to the appropriate page. His eyes, with help from his powers, picked up the words at lighting speed. He mumbled as he scanned through it, some of the words were rather vulgar and Barry chose to ignore it when they tended to crop up.

"Well butter my backside and call me a biscuit," He'd been spending too much time around Mad Mod to notice that he was picking up some of the villains phrases, "I did make the news papers!"

"Yeah, you also made it on page two and all."

He flipped backed. "Wha? Kid Flash and Beast Boy's flirtatious love?" A picture of Beast Boy hanging onto Kid Flash had been plastered over half of the page, in colour to show the redness of Beast Boys face.

"That's just wrong on so many levels! He was in a cold atmosphere! What was he supposed to look like!"

Barry just laughed, "Kids these days."

Wally glared. "So what did you come back here for? To bring me back to your place? 'Cos let me tell you now, I aint 'coming!"

"I didn't come to bring you back, God knows you're too stubborn for that, no, I came to see if you want to race."

"Race?"

"Yes, a world wide race, prove who's the fastest. If you win, I'll leave you alone and help you find this Jinx of yours."

"And if I lose?"

"You come back to my place and train with me some more, and leave the Titans for now."

The deal had much riding on it, but the thought of finding Jinx was too hard to pass up.

"Deal."

OoOoOoOoO

The purple haired bad luck charm glared.

"No freakin way scuzball."

"Ok, now you're starting to sound like Gizmo," he laughed.

"Don't insult me."

"OK, ok, but please, just say you'll come?"

Jinx sighed, "It's not that simple, what if, what if…"

"See, you can't even come up with an excuse not to, c'mon!"

Her eyes began to light up purple and he backed away. He didn't see her problem himself, it was a simple arrangement, easy enough, and yet she still protested. He looked up to her and gave his strongest puppy dog eyes.

"I'll love you forever and ever."

"Sorry sweetie, I just don't go that way any more."

She turned away and refused to look back, folding her arms and turning her nose up. He sighed, then grinned, no more games. Grabbing at her hips, he picked her up and tossed her over his shoulder.

"What are you doing you big lug! Let me go now you, you!" Jinx hit him with all the force she could muster and let her rage control the object around them.

"No way Lil lady. You're coming with me whether I have to eat my way through these marshmallows."

She cursed for a moment, maybe setting up base in a marshmallow factory wasn't the best idea ever. "Let me go!"

He was humming now, uncaring.

"CYBORG!"

OoOoOoOoO

All previous thoughts of playing GameStation were forgotten as they stood there gaping. There he was. The person criminals ran screaming from, the only one Superman was afraid of. There, in their Living room, standing there like it was no big deal that he'd entered without one of Cyborg brilliant alarms going off.

Robin gulped, he knew this day would come, but he didn't think it would come so soon. Beast Boy was in a state of shock, which Batman had seemed to notice.

"Your friend," Batman spoke his first words since entering the tower and Robin snapped to attention.

"Um, yeah, right." He grabbed Beast Boy's arm.

"C'mon BB, let's talk about this in the Kitchen," forcibly dragging him across the floor.

"Dude!" it seemed Beast Boy had recovered now, "That's the Batman! The Dark Knight, The big.."

"Alright already!" Robin slapped a hand across his face, "I know who he is. I just don't know what he wants, but he better get out of here before the reporters see him. God knows the last thing we need is an article with something like 'Titans bring In the Big League to deal with Reporters'"

"Uh Rob that's kinda too long to be a news report." At Robin's glare, he shut up.

"I know, but it is the last thing we need."

"Dude, too late, look outside."

He did so and groaned. Along side the sleek black Bat Submarine, were millions of tiny little boats heading towards land. That could only mean one thing, they had a new story to write up.

"Dear god." He rubbed his head.

"Shouldn't we, ya know, go see what he wants?"

Trust Beast Boy to be right, "I guess so, C'mon then. Let's get this over with."

Beast Boy was becoming his normal self again, hyperactive, sure, Batman wasn't his favourite hero, Green Lantern was(!) but still it might be his only chance to meet him. Robin however, was less joyous. Lord, Why me? He thought desperately.

OoOoOoOoO

"Ok ya'll, everyone here?"

"I think we are." Jinx proclaimed

A count of heads proved she was correct. As the crowd of people gathered around the small table began to simmer down, Cyborg made his announcement.

"You know why we're all here, everything's set in motion, now's the time to get it started." He grinned, "So what are we waiting for?"

"Nothing!" Argent piped up and slammed her hand down on the table. "Let's get it ready and in motion!"

"That's my girl!" Cyborg grinned again, everything was ready. He only hoped his plan worked.

OoOoOoOoO

Authors Note: So there we go, chapter three done. I know we haven't got much father than last time with some parts, but trust me, it gets better. Enjoy.

Translations and Notes:

I'm assuming Bumblebee is Titans East's leader.

Toni - Antonia Louise "Toni" Monetti was Argent's name in the comic books.

Judging from all the Ficlets I've seen that state this, I'm presuming that GL Is indeed Beast Boy's favourite hero.
