Alternate Universe
-----------------------
Outside of the city hall building, a massive aerial battle was in progress. It consisted of a fight between hundreds of Phoenix-bots and thousands of giant moths.
One of the Phoenix-bots blasts away at the moths, with several of the creature sent spiraling toward the ground. The one of the moths latched on to her shoulder, damaging it. As she blew that moth away, several more bit down upon her. She was swarmed and then they flew away. Only parts of the Phoenix-bot fell to the ground.
Most of the moths were attacking City Hall while the remainder engaged the Phoenix-bots.
Upon a nearby rooftop, Killer Moth and Fang stood and watched the battle.
Fang questioned, "Are we winning?"
Killer Moth answered, "Of course we are. I may be losing more of my children than Phoenix is, but I got a lot more of them."
Fangs said, "Sweet. Then you turn on your allies and take control of the city?"
Killer Moth said seriously, "Yes. There can only be one ruler in this town."
Two darts embedded into the back of Fang. He fell without a word.
Killer Moth looked at him. "Fang?"
An even voice spoke out, "Young Mr. Fang will be alright. He is only drugged."
Killer Moth demanded to the figure in the shadows, "Who are you?"
The old man in robes stepped out of the shadows with a dart gun in his hand. "My name is The Advisor. I work for the Phoenix."
Killer Moth said confidently, "Then you will be the first of Phoenix's dogs to fall at my hands."
"What of your daughter, Kitten?"
Killer Moth got angry. "What about my daughter?"
Advisor signaled and from the shadows, came two Phoenix-bots pulling a bounded and gagged Kitten. Kitten's eyes were angry.
Killer Moth sputtered, "Kitten. Advisor, if you have done anything to my daughter, I'll-"
The Advisor interrupted, "Your daughter is not harmed, yet. Why, do you wish her be in pain? I can easily arrange that little chore, my friend."
"No. Don't hurt my daughter… What do you want?"
"You will now betray your friends and you'll work for the Phoenix."

Titan's Universe
---------------------
Terra walked across the schoolyard. She was wearing the school's uniform of a skirt, white shirt and a tie. She was carrying two books and a notebook.
A dark hair girl in an identical uniform ran up and said, "Hey girlfriend. You won't have Beastboy hanging around you anymore."
Terra got worried. "What happen, Darcy? Did he get hurt?"
Darcy laughed. "No, nothing like that. You act like you really care about him."
Terra looked embarrassed. "What happened?"
"Oh… I saw on the Channel 6 News that Terra was seen flying around Titan's Tower."
Terra paled. "Cool. Terra showed up. Cool. I got to go. Cool. See you."
"Bye, girl. If you need a tutor for math tonight, you know where to find me."
Terra walked quickly away, and then broke into a run.
Terra ran into her room and slammed the door shut. She started to pack her belonging at a panicked rate.
A voice greeted her from behind, "Hello, my former apprentice. Have you been doing well?"
As Terra whipped around, a hand grabbed her by the throat and smashed her into the wall. As Terra choked, her eyes focused upon the man holding her: Slade. Terra gasped for air.
Slade put his face close to hers. "Not feeling well? Perhaps, you have a little breathing problem, Terra? You were feeling much better when you were flying earlier today."
Terra struggles got weaker.
Slade said with deadly seriousness, "Use you powers and I'll snap your neck."
He loosened but not release his hold on Terra's throat.
Terra lungs labored for a bit before she said, "That wasn't me. My powers are gone. Terra is no more."
"Dear Terra, I am saddened that you would lie to me, again. You were flying with Beastboy."
His grip started to tighten again.
Terra choked out, "It wasn't me. Would I still be here to be caught by you if my powers were back?"
Slade's grip loosened a little.
"You'll come with me, dear child. If you resist, your little school friends will have… accidents. How about if we start with little Darcy."
"No! They have nothing to do with you. They are just normal people. Don't do anything to them!"
Slade responded, "If anything happens to them, it will be your fault. You will be the one who is responsible."
Terra looked down, defeated. "Fine. I'll go. Just don't hurt them."
--------------------------------
In the Tower, Robin, Richard and Jinxie looked over a map of Jump City.
Robin asked, "What if we went up this street? It would be tactically better."
Richard shook his head. "No. Too many people live along that street."
Jinxie pointed and added, "Plus we have a possible escape route through the sewer's manhole over here."
Richard spoke out, "I'm still saying only my people should pick up my Cyborg and Gizmo. We know all the hideouts and escape routes in case something goes wrong. Your people should guard the gate."
Robin sternly said, "And I said I strongly disagreed."
Robin's communicator beeped.
Robin spoke into it, "Robin here."
Jinx's voice responded, "Breakfast time. Time to try Kori and Starfire's newest treats. Jinx Out."
As Robin put away the communicator, Jinxie complained, "Do I have to?"
------------------------
All were gather at the dining table. Upon the table was food that looked… normal.
All consumed the waffles, eggs, bacon and sliced fruit. The gravy colored jam coated toast and the gray slime covered cubed fruit were only eaten by Starfire, Kori and Tara.
Robin's communicator beeped. He spoke into it, "Robin here, officer."
"Robin. Sergeant Miller here. About that schoolgirl you interested in, she may have been kidnapped."
"What? Tell me what happened, Sergeant."
"A several students said she was being escorted out the front of the school by a man with a orange and black face mask."
"Slade."
"We agree, Robin. It looked like she was starting to pack, but she was interrupted."
"Thanks, Sergeant. Robin Out."
Robin put away the communicator.
A worried Beastboy asked, "Was that about Terra?"
Robin angry said, "Yes. And Slate wanted us to know that he has her."
Beastboy demanded, "Well, we have to find her, Now!"
Robin frowned as he concentrated.
Richard asked, "Who is this 'Slade' guy?"
Beastboy responded, "Dude, he's a Bad Guy; A very Bad Guy."
Jinxie spoke up, "He is the guy who paid Gizmo, Mammoth and me to raid your tower."
Jinx smiled, "You guys did that, too?"
Jinxie responded, "Yeah. I remember braking into Phoenix's room and wearing some of her clothes. She has no taste in clothing at all."
Jinx laughed, "Tell me about it. No fashion sense at all"
With an annoyed tone of voice Raven said, "Don't think I've forgiven you for that."
Both Jinxes stopped for a second before they said in stereo, "Sorry about that."
Beastboy got up from the table and said, "If nobody going to help Terra, I'm leaving to search for her, Right Now!"
Robin said, "Wait a second, Beastboy. Robin: You and your team will continue preparing for your rescue with your group alone. Starfire, Beastboy and I will search for Terra. Cyborg and Jinx will stay here and assist both groups."
Richard nodded and said, "The problem is not when we leave for our dimension. That should be ok. But when we return, we'll have Phoenix's goons following us."
Robin nodded and said, "Ok. Let's go."
---------------------------------
The obstacle coarse, just outside of the tower, was covered with dark strange script. Raven stood near the center. Jinx was waiting not too far from her. Two vehicles were off to one side.
Richard sat astride the R-Cycle. In the T-Car, there were Kori and Tara with Jinxie in the driver seat.
Cyborg was standing next to the driver's window, speaking to Jinxie. He said, "Girl, that knob over there is for the hovercraft mode, for crossing the bay."
"I Know, Cyborg! That's the fifth time you explained it to me!"
"Sorry, Jinxie. Just you don't put too many dents into my beauty."
"Don't worry. I'm a HIVE trained driving specialist."
"How much training?"
"Oh, was it serious three or four hours of training."
"NOT FUNNY, JINXIE."
"It's just a joke."
Raven walked over and said, "I'll be start my conjuring shortly. If you need to strike out at any enemies, DON'T let Jinx to use her powers anywhere near the gate, whether coming or going. She might change its destination."
Raven pulled a small black sphere and handed it to Richard. "Concentrate on this when you need to come back. I'll form the gate again after about twenty seconds."
Richard nodded.
Raven walked back to the center of the obstacle course and started to chant, "Azarath Metrion ZINTHOS!"
The dark script on the ground leaked darkness into the air. The branches of darkness all grew toward the far end of the obstacle course. The branches met, knotted and a ball grew. As they watched, the ball started to spin and became disk like. The flat side of the disk faced the vehicles.
Raven called out, "Get ready!"
Suddenly there was rip in the center of the disk. Through the rip in scene of a bay with a smoky dirty Jump City behind it. The rip spread to the edges of the disc causing it to become a ring with black edge: A Gate. The other dimension's Jump City was clearly shown.
Part of the ring settled into the ground and Raven signaled, "Go".
Tara yelled out, "Let's go and kick some Phoenix butt."
Both vehicles roar through the gate. Two random bolts of red energy shot out of the ring, missing everyone. The gate closed and vanished.
Raven pulled out her communicator. She said into it, "Robin, they've left. They were already being shot at. Time for all of you to come back and wait for their return."
Jinx walked over to Raven. "I've called Kid Flash back, too."
------------------------------------
In a gray colored room fill with equipment, Terra was held in a cage next to a wall.
Slade walked in. "Good morning, Terra. Slept well?"
Terra barked out, "No, you monster. And when the Titans get here, they'll kick your butt!"
"Funny you should say that, child. Only three of the titans are searching for you. Cyborg and Raven stayed behind."
Terra looked saddens. "Cyborg is not looking?"
"Yes. It seems that you have made some enemies among the Titans. That makes you less useful to me."
Terra stared at the floor.
Slade continued, "And the damage you caused to yourself, when you removed all of my control implants, has disabled all of your powers. It's interesting that you didn't die from all that damage."
Terra quietly said, "Most of your wires were hanging loose when I woke up. And most of my powers were gone, too."
Slade stared at Terra for a bit before he said, "I now know that you couldn't have been flying earlier today, dear Terra. Your so-called friends used you as bait."
Terra yelled, "NO!" Then in a quieter voice she continued, "They are not like that… They are not like you and me."
Slade said, "You know so little about these Titans. You were used. And they tried to trap me somehow with you. Whatever their plans are, I will turn it to my advantage."
Terra remained silent.
Slade continued, "Dear Terra, something odd occurred on Titans Island. A ring appeared and disappeared. You and I are going to visit them. Aren't you overjoyed?"
Terra looked dazed.
"Yes, Terra. I see that you are. Oh, and Terra, this is an informal event. No need to dress up."
