Part Four:

"Of all the stupid dangerous things you could have done!" Wally raged, throwing down a copy of Keystone's newspaper in front of them. The headline blared; "MOVE OVER JLA, THE TEEN TITANS HAVE ARRIVED!" Beneath the declaration was a photograph of the so called 'Teen Titans', fliers floating above and behind the non-fliers. The Lane-Kents had assumed the classic Superman pose, Phoenix was merely keeping himself afloat a black platform, and Koriand'r was floating but had her hands lit by her bolts. In front of them stood Donna with her bracers crossed and glinting, Mia and Nerissa were posing with their favorite arrow-types, Helena just stood, knowing her cowl would identify her; the Tornado Twins had taken the same route next to her. Lian was next, creating a lantern sigil in front of her. And in front of them all crouched Robin, having been unanimously voted the group's leader. He posed with a Birdarang in each hand and was glaring at the camera.

"You could have gotten yourselves killed!" Dick added just as angrily.

"What where you kids thinking!" Linda demanded.

"They weren't!" Roy replied.

There was a sharp whistle and they all turned to M'gann, wincing. She, like J'onn before her, did not often show her anger but when she did; "Will you guys let them explain themselves before putting the needle to their veins!" she spoke calmly but there was fire in her eyes.

The League nodded meekly.

"Good, now Timothy, explain yourself."

"Yes ma'am." Tim nodded. Next to him sat Koriand'r, his hand in hers to keep her reassured even while the adults were shouting, and around them were seated the other Titans. They had agreed to back enough up, keep each other strong and unyielding no matter what onslaught came.

'You see, I got a crime alert while you guys were gone. Kori was destroying San Fran and we figured that you might be gone for awhile and she might be an evil alien so we figured it was like twelve to one in our favor; one measly evil alien couldn't be that bad right?" They laughed, all of the Teen Titans laughed at the inexperience they had shown, before Tim continued, "So we got out there and found out what was really going on and then the Gordanians came over us and so we pulled an Indy. Hey, it worked." He smiled, "Bad guys loss; we won. Nobody died, except for the Gordanians but we couldn't have prevented that. You know what that is? A really good day."

The Titans muttered and nodded their agreement.

"Yeah it is, but you kids are so grounded—!" Artemis hissed before Kaldur'ahm stepped in and appealed to Dick, Wally, and Roy.

"This is no different than what we had done at their age," he spoke patiently, "our mentors disappointed us and so when the chance to handle a mission that appeared to be simple came we jumped at it did we not? And you, Roy, walked out and operated on your own for quite awhile did you not?"

"That's so completely different!" Wally blustered.

"How so?" Conner stepped up, the iconic 'S' and shield symbol standing out from his chest, "They got mad, went to show off, found an alien held captive, kicked ass and saved people. That's exactly what happened on my 'birthday' isn't it?"

"Yes it is." Kaldur'ahm nodded with a small smile, "and we were badly outnumbered and in serious danger. They were going to copy our DNAs and then 'delete the originals'."

"Right." Conner nodded.

"That's completely different because we were going to let them form a group of their own! After we tested them safely!" Wally yelled, "They deliberately disobeyed us when we told them to stay put!"

"YOU WERE GONNA WHAT?" the Titans, sans Koriand'r and Phoenix, yelped together.

"And apparently they would have passed." Kyle finally spoke up, "C'mon guys, they saved a major city while pulling the plan out of their buns as they went. They've earned the right to form and be the Teen Titans."

"We wouldn't have been able to do that." Dick admitted grudgingly.

"We were a mess." Wally agreed softly, "Supey kicked our asses…"

"Yes," Kaldur'ahm nodded, "so, shall we let the children form the Teen Titans? All in favor…"

The League members looked to each other; slowly, one by one they all raised their hands in favor of it.

"YEAH!" The Titans, now an official team, hooted and hollered and high fived, hugging.

Watch out JLA, the Teen Titans were in town and nothing would ever be the same.
