(A/N: Hey! I'm back! I'm trying to update more regularly now. Disclaimer: I do not own Teen Titans, Kim Possible, or any other works I may reference.)
The teenaged crime fighters stood up and looked at each other with confusion. Beast Boy was the first to speak. "Dude," was all he said.
"What just…happened?" Raven asked, pulling her hood back over her head.
"Wait, Motor Ed's a robot?" Ron asked, pointing his thumb at Cyborg.
"I'm only half robot," Cyborg corrected, holding up Rufus by his index finger and thumb, "and your little hairless rodent friend here nearly chewed up half my circuits."
Ron took Rufus from Cyborg. "For your information, he is a naked mole rat!"
"Yeah," Rufus huffed.
Starfire turned to Robin. "Robin, what is going on?"
"Slade got away," Robin replied. "No thanks to you," he said, turning to Kim.
"I'm sorry, what?" she asked. "You attacked me!"
"You were dressed like Madame Rouge," Robin explained, doing a terrible job of staying calm, "a villain who we flash froze barely a month ago! You could have said something!"
"I thought you were working for one of my villains," Kim explained, also not remaining very calm. "I fought Monkey Fist only last week, and it seemed pretty likely that he'd be spying on me for revenge. You can't blame me for fighting back, Mr. Monkey Ninja."
"Kim," Ron said, looking very worried, "this guy is green, and the blue one looks like she wants to kill me."
"Raven pretty much wants to kill everyone," Beast Boy smiled, elbowing his cloaked companion good-naturedly. Raven sidestepped away.
Cyborg looked at Kim and Ron quizzically. "And what are y'all doing here anyway? You seem like good guys, but I thought we were the only good guys crashing this convention."
"I was going after my arch nemesis," Kim explained.
"Same here," Robin told her, his voice calmer but his face just as intense, the way it always was when he was thinking about Slade. "If you two hadn't been so distracting, we would have caught him by now."
"I could say the same to you," Kim said, crossing her arms.
A light bulb suddenly went off in Ron's head. Not a particularly bright light bulb, but a light bulb nonetheless. He grinned, eyes wide and walked over to Robin's side. "Do my eyes deceive me? It can't be, but it is!"
"What can't be?" Robin asked, a little bit creeped out.
"Robin the Boy Wonder? As in Batman and Robin? The Dynamic Duo?" He grabbed Robin's gloved hand and shook it. "It is an honor to meet you, sir."
"First of all, it's not Batman and Robin, it's just Robin." Robin finally pulled out of Ron's tight grip. "Second, please don't call me sir."
"You…know this guy?" Kim asked, surprised.
"KP, don't tell me you've never heard of the most famous sidekick ever!"
Robin winced. "Sidekick?"
Ron was elated. "Yeah! Man, we need to hang out sometime, sidekick to sidekick, partner to partner. This is huge! It's not often the second in command gets any respect, but I'll bet every one of the super villains you fight knows your name. I wish I could say the same, but I suppose 'Ron Stoppable' is kind of a mouthful."
Robin interrupted, "I'm not exactly a sidekick anymore."
Ron's shoulder slumped. "Aw, it's nothing to be ashamed of. I've been Kim's sidekick for years, get zero respect, and I'm okay with that. You just got to accept it…"
"Ron," Kim stopped him, sensing this was a sensitive topic. He shut his mouth. She began to speak to Robin now. "Your villain isn't the only one that got away. Ron and I were looking for ours when your team showed up dressed like our other villains. I don't think we're the only ones to blame here."
"Friends," Starfire said, speaking up for the first time, "please, you must not fight at your first meeting. This is merely a misunderstanding."
"Starfire's right," Raven said, stepping between Kim and Robin. "Arguing solves nothing. The facts are simple: both of our villains are working together, and both of them got away. We must accept it and move on."
"All right, I'll accept that," Ron said, "but what's all the green light and animals and robots and darkness and stuff?"
"Ever seen a superhero before?" Raven deadpanned.
"Superheroes? Badical!" Ron slapped Cyborg on the back. "The name's Ron Stoppable, and this is Kim Possible. She can do anything!" he announced with pride.
"We're the Teen Titans," Cyborg introduced. "I'm Cyborg, this is Beast Boy, the girl in the cloak is Raven, the alien is Starfire, and I think y'all have already met Robin."
Ron went down the line, slapping Cyborg again, high-fiving BB, slowly backing away from Raven, and waving at Starfire. "Check it out, KP, real superheroes!"
Kim was less impressed, remembering her last meeting with a superhero team. Team Go hadn't exactly been the most competent team in the world. They even talked directly to their main villain, some weirdo obsessed with birds, from headquarters so he could see everything. Talk about missing the obvious. She looked from Robin to the rest of the team. They seemed pretty serious. She decided to give them the benefit of the doubt, at least until she got to know them.
"So, the Teen Titans," she said, trying to be friendly. "I guess you're new in town. The blue guy who ran off with your arch nemesis was Dr. Drakken, a mad scientist trying to take over the world. The green woman was his sidekick, Shego."
"So who was the tin man?" Ron asked, jumping onto Kim's train of conversation.
"That was Slade," Robin replied, "a criminal mastermind who wants to destroy our city. He's cold, ruthless, and only cares about himself. We thought we'd stopped him, but after finishing a mission in Tokyo we heard he had returned and was back to his old habits."
"Okay…" Ron said, taking a step back. He turned to Starfire. "Is he usually this intense?"
"Whenever we speak of the Slade, yes," the alien princess answered with a hint of sadness.
"So if our bad guys are working together," Cyborg said, jumping into the conversation, "it looks like we're gonna need some help. What do you say to working together?"
Suddenly, an alarm went off in Kim's pocket. She pulled out her Kimmunicator and checked the time. "Shoot," she said, "the warning bell's about to ring. Sorry, Titans, I have a report due next period. We'll have to talk after school."
"School?" Robin repeated. He hadn't expected his two new allies to be ordinary high school students. Granted, he had been to high school during his time with the Batman, but it was more like a mask he wore to hide his secret identity. Kim and Ron were acting like honest, regular high school students.
"Aw, c'mon," Ron said, partially hiding behind Cyborg's large metal frame. "I'm sure we have a few minutes to spare to hang with these guys."
"You're not getting out of your Hamlet test, Ron."
"Darn it." He slumped and dragged his feet over to Kim's side.
"We still need to exchange information about our villains," Robin told the redhead.
"Of course." She thought for a second. "There's a Bueno Nacho really close to Middleton High. Ron and I always hang out there after school. Do you think you can find it?"
Cyborg began pushing buttons on his computer arm. "Already searching locations."
"Meet us there around three o'clock," Kim directed, mostly speaking to Robin. She checked her Kimmunicator. "Sorry to run, but we'll be late if we talk any more. Let's go, Ron!" The two of them ran out of the convention center and hopped into Kim's purple car, beginning the drive straight to Middleton High School.
The Titans quickly got into the T-Car as well, not wanting to get attacked by the mob of angry Andrena Lynn fanboys who had begun to return to the scene of the chaos.
"So what is this Nacho of Bueno of which the other crime fighters spoke?" Starfire asked from the seat behind Robin.
"I don't know," Robin replied, "but it doesn't sound like any crime fighting headquarters I've ever heard of. There's something very strange about Kim Possible and Ron Stoppable. They fight crime like we do, but they're different from us. Way different."
"I found Bueno Nacho," Cyborg said, looking at his arm, "and…it's a Mexican fast food place? Booyah! I like these kids' style!"
"Count me in!" Beast Boy exclaimed. "As long as they have vegetarian options, that is. Dude, why don't we have our headquarters at a fast food place?"
Robin couldn't believe what he was hearing. "We're going to discuss sensitive information about super villains in a Mexican fast food restaurant? They can't be serious."
"We don't have much of a choice, thought, do we?" Cyborg pointed out. He looked at the digital map on his arm. "It's not too far. We have a lot of extra time. What do you say we stop by SmartyMart and look at the electronics department? I've been meaning to update some of my equipment."
So the five teenaged superheroes sped off in the general direction of SmartyMart just as the mob of angry fanboys began to shout something about impostors.
