Disclaimer: I don't own Teen Titans or Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Each belongs to their respective creators and animation companies.
Author's Notes/Warnings: Yes, I am writing a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles/Teen Titans crossover. Why? Just because. This post TT series (and using my knowledge from the original comic book series as well) and I'm mixing the canon from the 80s cartoon, the 2003 cartoon and the comic book series for TMNT. Why? Well, each respective canon has things that work well in this story…and things that would hinder it. So, I decided to combine it all and kind of create a new version for this particular story.
Don't like crossovers? Hit the Back button right now. Don't think you'll like gen fic? Then, don't read. I'd like constructive criticism very much. But if you don't like the genre, you don't have to flame me for it.
Anyway, enjoy!

Prologue
Kingston Laboratory was not a large, important facility in any way. In comparison to the other labs in Jump City, there was seemingly nothing special about it. For the most part, it did not use any illegal subtances for their experimentations, at least they had not been caught using them or been rumored to have.
"So, why would anyone want to break into it in the middle of the night?" Thought Robin.
As his team made their way inside, he noticed there was a fine powder on the buttons on the code box next to the door. "Trying to be subtle..." If it hadn't been for the motion detector alerting that there were intruders inside, the perpetrators would have gotten away with it.
"Get ready, team."
"No sweat." Cyborg replied, gearing himself up for whatever was going to happen next.
They all moved out of the shadows, revealing themselves to their adversaries. To Robin's surprise, there were several offenders. It seemed that they had interrupted their ransacking of the place. Instead of surrendering like good little perps, they pulled out blades and throwing stars. That was the sign for them to act.
Robin yanked his bo from his belt, then elongated it. "TITANS, GO!"
With great speed, Starfire charged in toward a group of them. Powerful bursts of energy shot out from her eyes and down at the enemies. However, they dodged them with ease. They pulled their shurikens, then threw them at her. While she managed to avoid most of them, two of them grazed her legs. "Ahh!" She exclaimed. Then she caught one of them throw what seemed like a grenade at her. Though she managed to fly away from it, the blast caused her to crash against the wall. Her teammates noticed this, but had no choice but to continue fighting.
"Azarath Metrion Zinthos!" Shouted Raven as she psychokinetically moved a large table and hurled it toward some of the foes. However, they lifted it right off them. One used a fan which caused a wave of energy that knocked her away. Starfire got up and went over to her, helping her to stand.
Beast Boy transformed into a rhinoceros then charged at them, hoping that his horn could take them out. However, they easily jumped out of his way. One group member sliced his side with a knife, causing him to growl in pain. That made him revert to his human form. Before they could do any further damage, Cyborg blasted them with his Sonic Cannon. That was when they all noticed a very important detail.
"What the--" Began Cyborg.
"They're not even human... They're robots." Raven said.
When Robin heard that, he looked at his allies, but was then punched in the face by the one he was fighting against. Once on the floor, the robot placed its foot against his head, trying to crush it. However, a shot from Cy's blaster prevented any real damage from being done.
With this new knowledge, Raven used her powers to pick up the same table from before, then began to smash it right down on them until they were left in pieces.
It did not take long for them to be destroyed. "Dude, that was weird..." Stated Beast Boy. "They were like something out of a Sci Fi flick..."
Groaning, Raven said, "You're bleeding and all you can do is make jokes."
"Hey, it's not that bad...Urgh..." He pressed against the wound with his hand, feeling somewhat dizzy from the blood loss.
"Are you alright, Beast Boy?" Starfire asked. "Perhaps, we should take Beast Boy to the infirmary, Robin? ...Robin?"
The Boy Wonder was inspected one of the fallen mechanical beings, tearing the insignia from their cloth. Judging from their mannerisms and their appearance, he concluded that they must have belonged to some sort of ninja clan. He was going to make sure to get to the bottom of this.
"Robin?" The third time Starfire spoke his name got his attention.
"How deep is the injury?" Asked Robin.
"It's a severe open wound. Luckily, it's not near any important organs. But we should get him back home fast to sterilize it." Explained Cyborg. "Hey, Rae, we should use your cape to temporarily dress it."
Once he picked Beast Boy up, she pulled her garment off and handed it to him.
"Sorry for messing up your cape." He said weakly.
"As long as you're not messed up, it doesn't matter. Besides, I have a closet full at home." Replied Raven.
Beast Boy couldn't help but grin. "Closet full...? Is that a joke?"
"I never joke about that sort of thing."

Blindly, she clawed away at the dirt, attempting to dig a hole. Her hands were covered in blood while her face was stained with tears. She stared back at the lifeless body near her, then dug faster. The sky became darker, a sign of an upcoming storm. When she took one last glance at the person she had killed, she began to scream. In her rage, she managed to make the ground shake, which caused some cracks to appear. Even with those powers, she wanted to dig the grave herself...

Elizabeth Parker awoke from her strange nightmare with small beads of sweat on her forehead. Gasping, she looked down at her hands and saw that there was nothing on them.
It seemed that her afternoon nap was not a pleasant one. Plus, it lasted a lot longer than intended since it was now night time.
Lately, she was not sleeping well. For the most part, she had little memory of what she dreamt of. But this one was very vivid and unforgettable.
Ever since she had spoken to that green skinned boy, she had become unstable in general. Her grades had slipped, which was especially obvious when she got her latest geometry test results back. Also, she began to doubt herself, feeling that something was not right. Still, she kept that under wraps and did not talk about what bothered her.
Before her encounter with him, she felt quite happy with her two best friends and her loving parents. Everything had been in place. Now, it felt as if her life was somehow thrown off its original course.
She wondered why he would call her 'Terra'. It was not even close to her real name. And he assumed that she had some sort of power to control the Earth. Then she remembered her dream ... and thought about how his nonsense had caused her to have such a horrible nightmare involving that.
A gentle knock at the door stopped her train of thought. "Elizabeth?"
"Hey, Mom..."
"Sweetie, do you have everything packed for the trip tomorrow?" The girl remembered that she was going to take a field trip to the Museum of Modern Art in Manhattan.
"Um, yeah, I do. I tried not to take too much since I'm only gonna be gone for three days."
Missus Parker sat down next to her daughter and placed a hand on her shoulder. "I want you to be very careful. Try sticking with your friends at all times. New York is a very dangerous city."
Playfully, she rolled her eyes and smiled. "Aw, Mom. New York isn't that bad. All those bad things said about it are rumors, I'm sure."
"Still, I don't want anything to happen to you. Please, just take care of yourself..."
Her mother's concern annoyed her most of the time, yet she was grateful that she cared so much about her. "I will. Don't worry so much about me."
"Now, that's something I'm afraid I can't do while you're so far away from here."
"Okay, okay. I'll make sure to avoid the killer crocodiles that live in the sewers."
"Elizabeth, don't toy with me." After saying that, she pulled her daughter close to her. "...I...I just..."
Grumbling, she said, "Mom...don't get all emotional on me. You'll see me again by Monday night."
Then her mother got up and walked to the door. "Alright. I trust you, Darling."
"Yeah, Mom, you need to have some more stuff to tell me when we're saying our farewells."
As she exited, she smiled at her. "Don't worry, I have more."
When she was gone, Elizabeth lied back on her bed. "...New York City. That should be fun." She hoped that this vacation would help get her mind off all the recent events she went through.

Additional Author's Notes: Yeah, so, I did a lot of research based on all of the stuff mentioned here. Including some first aid notes for severe open wounds.
Elizabeth Parker is an alias I invented for our favorite Earth Mover. I imagine that Terra was taken in by a family and that's why she's enrolled at a High School. I'll explain more of her current life in the next chapters. For the most part, this story is heavy on both Teen Titans and TMNT, soooo I don't think this is more of a TT story or anything.
