Sweat dripped off Zane's forehead, stinging his eyes, but still he focused on putting power into his spell. The Storm demon was fighting against the cage he had erected and it was taking everything Zane had to keep the creature immobile. Being unable to communicate to the others he could only hope that they would figure out how to destroy the creature soon. The demon was literally a thunderstorm brought to life. The energy needed to be dissipated and the only way Zane knew that could happen was to have it hold still long enough to force the creature to begin raining.

After a little over five minutes the demon released a full out attack at the cage. The thunder bolt proved to much for Zane, shattering his spell and throwing the boy enchanter down to the ground in pain. In the last seconds before Zane lost consciousness he was able to whisper a spell to teleport himself to safety, with only the hope that he had helped give the junior heroes on the roof of the convention center enough time to formulate a plan.

Unfortunately none of the three junior heroes had been doing anything productive. As soon as the sphere had appeared Nightshade had tried start spouting off orders on how to fight the thing but Superchick fought her on almost every single idea. Within what seemed like seconds the girls had gone down to purely insulting each other and were close to coming to blows with each other. Then the cage shattered. And for a second the girls stopped to see what was going on. But that was the only attention they gave the creature.

Superchick turned to Nightshade and in anger yelled, "See, Look what all your whining has done. Had we done things my way we wouldn't be in this spot!" then she quickly jumped back as a lightning bolt struck the roof where the trio had been standing. Not looking back to see if the other two had dodged the bolt as well, Superchick turned and sped towards the monster. She intended to fly through the clouds a speed that would disperse them. However as soon as she entered the cloud she was hit with an intense blast of electricity that sent her flying back to the rook where the bats were standing.

"Oh, yes we would definitely be in a better predicament with your leadership." Nightshade said snidely, "Whatever was I thinking." she would have gone further but the creature started attacking again. The Monster laughed at the chaos caused by its existence. And so enjoyed toying with the two girls that it failed to notice Panther slink into the shadows.

As the girls continued to argue and dodge attacks from both the Storm demon and each other Panther watched. Normally Scott loved it when his goody two-shoes cousin was distracted, it gave him more room to continue in his mother's legacy of being the greatest cat-burglar in the world. But right now it annoyed him greatly. After all she was the one with the gadgets. Unless the magic user who had caged the thing reappeared soon, they were pretty much screwed. After all how can one battle pure electricity?

That's when Panther got an idea. He battled electricity all the time. In the form of security equipment. And that was one of the few gadgets he did carry, an EMP bomb. He would only have one shot and if this didn't work they were screwed. But still he had to do something, and so he pulled two grenade like EMP devices from his belt and got in position to get a clear shot. Once ready Panther pulled the pins and threw as hard as he could into the center of the cloud creature.

The devices detonated almost instantly upon entering the monster's body. And all forms of electricity throughout the creature dissipated the beast gave a half scream before its molecules dispersed. Then Panther turned to the girls fighting. Superchick was a big hitter, being the daughter of the man of steel, but since Nightshade was a daughter of Themyscira she was granted super-strength like that of her mother and aunt, and so was able to hold her own against the Kryptonian teen.

However this wasn't the time or the place for a super-teen face off. "Girls! The time for a Cat-fight is over." He shouted trying to get them to stop, "We got to get out of here before the grownups arrive and blame us." he never got to finish talking because he was forced into action. He saw Superchick's eyes begin to glow which meant she was trying to use her heat vision.

Quickly Panther unhooked the whip his mother had given him from his belt and snapped it making it wrap around his cousins waist and pulling her to the side just in time to dodge the seering laser beams. Before another move could be made or another word could be spoken, Superman appeared on the scene and he did not look happy. "Cait-El." he said in the same upset father tone Panther's dad used with him on an almost constant basis. "This has proven to me that you need some extra training."

Nightshade and Panther tried to chuckle silently to themselves, but it ended up coming out like a snicker. But the snicker was stopped almost instantly by a hand on either shoulder. Batman and Catwoman stood behind the teen duo. "That goes for you too, young lady." Batman said, "Dark we may be, but we never fight our own unless they are a threat to the world." He admonished.

Panther smirked and then Catwoman got his attention, "I must admit that was really quick thinking on your part son. I'm thinking that this would be the perfect opportunity to test your," she paused for a moment contemplating what word to use. "people skills." she decided.

"What do you guys have planned." Panther asked suspicious of the adults.

"You guys are going to be the beginning of a team." Superman explained, "We are taking you to a place where you can be what you are. Teen with super powers."

"And where would that be?" Nightshade asked. Her mind was reeling with possibilities, they could be stuck in the batcave, or the Fortress of Solitude, or the Watchtower, or any number of heroic layers and hideaways that she never even knew. She didn't want to be locked away. She wanted to be in Bludhaven where she could help her friends be safe.

"Titans tower, in Los Angeles." Batman said bluntly, "Your father and mother were the founders of the original Teen Titans team, Nightshade." He added before speaking to the group, "We are leaving tomorrow morning all of us." and with that the conversation was over.

Meanwhile in the invisible jet, Jason and Diana sat in silence. Jason had so many questions but it was hard for him to speak them. The words became twisted and tangled on the tip of his tounge. Finally Diana spoke, "I'm sorry."

"Why did you leave me?" Jason asked, "Why didn't you or my father keep me."

Diana looked straight forward as she collected her thoughts, "Your father and I were engaged to each other. As the princess of the Amazons it was a brilliant political move to marry the King of Atlantis. I tried to fight the marriage initially but as I spared with Arthur and fought by his side to protect our joined borders from monsters, I grew to love him. We were elemental forces joining, Earth and Water becoming one. Soon I found I was with child, but Arthur had found a new queen by then. Mira, the princess of an exiled tribe of Atlanteans. She was the better choice in his eyes. And so Mira and Arthur married and I was left with a child. When you were born I knew I couldn't raise you on Themyscira. Mira's anger would kill you and that was if you had inherited the ability to breathe under water. So I did what I could to protect you. I gave you to be closest friends Steve Trevor and Etta Candy. Right after their wedding." As Diana spoke she focused on the path ahead. Tears streamed down her face as she confessed to her son. But Jason just sat and listened to the whole story.

After it was done he sat for what seemed like hours he finally found a question to ask, "Why did you chose Mom and Dad to raise me?"

The question hurt Diana more than she thought it would but she knew it would have come. She was Jason's mother but she wasn't his mom. She hadn't been there to change his diapers, she hadn't been there when he was sick or had nightmares. She had only been a visitor in his life till now, a friend of his parents who would show up at his birthday parties and some holidays. But still it hurt to hear her son called Etta his mom, and yet she found herself answering him, "Steve and Etta were the very first friends I made when I left my island home. I knew I could trust them with you."

Jason nodded and then found one final question he had to ask. "So where is my father now?"

"He lives as King of Atlantis with Mera as his queen. He comes up often to help the mainland to fight the evil in the world as Aquaman." Jason sat in awe of what Diana, his mother had just told him. Not only was he a prince, the son of two royals. He was now the son of two heroes, which meant he was destined to be one himself. Now the timing of his mother's identity made complete sense to him. He was old enough to fight and so she had come to train him to keep the world safe.

He didn't have time to ask anymore questions however because they landed on the top of a giant tower that was shaped like a letter T. Jason's gauntlets had appeared during the flight and now they gleamed silver in the light of the sun.

"Now before the others arrive I have a gift for you." Diana said, as she lead him inside the tower. Thirty minutes later Jason stood on the doorstep dressed for battle next to Wonder Woman herself. He was wearing a short sleeved shirt of scale armor dyed blue and sea-green pair of pants that were stronger than they seemed. A silver belt and silver circlet adorned his waist and head respectively. Both were Amazonian in design and helped the costume advertise both of Jason's heritages.

Just as they stepped out the bat jet landed on the roof. Diana grabbed Jason's wrist and flew with him up to meet the new arrivals. Jason was once again awestruck by the identities of the visitors. Batman, his dark costume contrasting greatly with the daylight stood helping a girl in a very similar costume out of the jet. After she got out a woman in a tight black suit that resembled a cat jumped out and walked over to batman, followed by a boy, in a similar cat suit showing off by doing a flip out of the jet. The woman was of course Catwoman, while the children, who were a little older than Jason himself, were codenamed Panther and Nightshade. Apparently Nightshade was the daughter of Nightwing and Wondergirl so that made her his cousin. Introduction were barely made when Superman and his daughter Superchick landed on the roof and introductions had to be made again.

Once that was complete the group headed inside and began talking about the young heroes becoming the teen titans. Their conversation was interrupted when Aquaman himself walked in. "Diana!" He screamed so loud that no matter where in the tower you were you could hear him. Wonder Woman stood and walked over to the com system and spoke, "Yes Arthur, we are in the main computer room on the top floor. Minutes later the door was thrown open and Jason laid eyes on his father for the first time.

He was blonde, with ocean blue eyes like Jason's. He wore an outfit like Jason's except his shirt was orange and instead of silver, gold trimmed his waist and wrists. "Diana why did you never tell me?" he asked furious and then his eyes found Jason. "He looks like you." was the simple statement he said.

"I need not explain myself to anyone, least of all you." Diana said and her voice betrayed the hurt she still felt over him choosing Mera over her. Then she turned to her son, "Jason this is your father Arthur Curry, King of Atlantis, and Aquaman." Aquaman nodded at his introduction.

"Wait why are you telling him?" Panther asked curious, "Shouldn't he already know who his dad is?"

"With the fact that the Superhero community though he had been born dead, I'm going to guess that he just recently found out who he really is." Batman said coldly, "Am I right Diana?"

"As always Batman." She replied and then turned to her son, "Now you have a choice, Jason. Since your birth Zeus has created the island of Tharilion, home of the Gargareans, the male counterparts to the Amazons. So your choice is, to go live on Tharilion with the Gargareans and learn the ways of my people, or go with your father to Atlantis and learn their ways, or you can stay here and be a Teen Titan, or you can go back home and live a life on the sidelines."

Jason thought for a minute about the pros and cons of each situation and then finally spoke. "If I stay here is there a way I can learn about both of your worlds?" the two adults looked at each other confused, "I mean I am Atlantean and I am Amazonian or Gargarean or whatever. So why must I chose one side or the other without knowing about either of them." he reasoned, "Please let me learn about both before I decide anything."

His parents nodded, "A fine decision worthy of a prince, Evaluate every angle before deiding a move." Aquaman said with obvious pride, "I will ask Garth to take some time to train you on the ways of Atlantis as well as your Atlantean powers."

"And I will ask Artemis to do the same for the Amazonian ways." Diana added.

Before another word could be spoken the doors to the room burst open and in the doorway stood Mera the Queen of Atlantis, seething with fury. She wasn't looking at either Aquaman or Jason but at Wonder Woman. "Diana!" she screamed before lunging, fist balled with a punch to the Amazon Princess's face.
