And Injustice For All 2

Chapter 59: Universe in Peril

Jaime Reyes' house

"Jaime?"

"Just a second."

"You have visitors at the door."

Jaime opened the door and sees Kori, Cassie and Connor in casual clothes.

"First of all, its incredibly awesome that the freaking Titans are on my doorstep. Second of all, the freaking Titans cannot just show up on my doorstep."

"We came in civilian clothes," said Kori.

"That's great, but a t-shirt doesn't detract from you being a actual alien."

"I did mention that," said Connor.

"Do you have anywhere less conspicuous we can talk?" Cassie asked.

"I do actually," Jaime said. "Mom, in goingI'm going out with friends."

"Are you going to introduce us?" asked his mother.

"I'm Cassie.

"Connor. Nice to meet you."

"And I am Koriand'r, princess of Tamaran. (Better known as Starfire)

*Yeah, of course you can hang here," said Booster Gold. "There's some cold pizza in my fridge."

"Aren't you a billionaire now" Cassie asked.

"You heard me say I won a fridge?"

As they were eating pizza...

"So what's this about?" Jaime asked.

"We're thinking of adding to our ranks," Connor began.

"Look, I don't know the community very well. I'm not sure who I could suggest."

"Jaime," Booster Gold calls his name.

"I mean Steel seems cool."

"Jaime..."

"And I would suggest Aqualad right up front, if he hadn't murdered the entire government..."

"Jaime!"

"WHAT?"

"We'd like you to try out for the Titans," said Cassie.

"Think about it," said Connor as he, Kori and Cassie were taking flight outside the building.

"Yeah, totally."

"We'll be in touch."

"Well, that was something," said Gold.

"Here's hoping that "reading the room" isn't one of the skills expected of a Titan," said Skeets.

"Was it that bad?"

"Trains run perfectly where I'm from in the future, so I want to thank you for letting me experience a real life train wreck."

"For future reference, an artificial intelligence can be mortified."

"You managed to embarrass a robot. Skeets?"

"Something's coming!"

"Where?"

The answer came in a form of the explosion. A grey skinned man in a air bike of some kind looking at Blue Beetle. Enter Lobo, the last Czarnian. He takes Blue Beetle hostage.

"Is he alive?" Gold asked.

"Don't get paid if the bastich is dead."

"Wait. This is about money? How much? I can probably match it, or beat it?"

"Really? Ya got a large hoard of quadarkian lunarites around here?"

"Sure. I keep them right... Here!"

Fire bursted from Gold's body...

"That didn't feel like currency."

Lobo shot Gold with a sawed off shotgun.

"No one takes a cheap shot at The Main Man." He smokes his cigar. "Hate this fraggin' planet. Really don't see what the fuss is all about with you."

He strapped Jaime on his space hog and takes off.
