While Robin, Starfire, Shadowcobra and Raven were in Amity Park, Beast Boy Cyborg and Pluto had an adventure of their own. Remember the part where Pluto, Cy and BB found that pod. Here's what happened next.

Part 15: Blackbird

"Fascinating, simply fascinating," were the words Fixit uttered. The cybernetic hermit was inspecting the stasis pod that the trio had found containing Blackbird. He had taken it apart to inspect it thoroughly. The technology was out of this world, which was true, seeing as it was a Sabretron stasis pod, thus alien technology. "This technology is simply amazing, much more advanced than anything he had ever seen. This is all simply remarkable." Cyborg chuckled; Fixit sounded like a kid in a candy shop. "And you are telling me that you found it here in the junkyard?'

Cyborg shrugged. "Pretty much." Beast Boy and Pluto were in the room as well, as were their new friend, Blackbird. She wasn't hostile, thankfully, proven by the fact she hadn't attacked them. She was a Sabretron and according to Shadow and DT the Sabretrons were the good guys. Sitting on a metallic chair, and looking quite uncomfortable, Blackbird remained in her humanoid battle mode. She would've transformed if she wanted, but seeing how fascinated Fixit was at examining her stasis pod, transforming into her Beast Mode may just cause him to take him apart to see what made her tick.

Her gaze went over to Beast Boy. In her opinion, the green boy was funny. He made a few jokes and she laughed at them. He could even transform into, not just one, but several types on animals. She had to admit that she was envious as he did not need to go through what she did to gain her Beast Mode. If only she knew how he got his powers…

Next she went to look at Pluto. He held the aura of a scientist and also that of a warrior. He was pretty much interested in the pod, but was also interested in her. The pod was heavy, but he didn't even lift a finger to carry it. He didn't have to since he levitated it with his powers. Powers like that, according to her knowledge, could only belong to an evolved human. Just how long was she in that pod to begin with?

Her eyes went over to the big one, Cyborg was it? A fitting name since it aptly described who and what he is, a cyborg. Though not as advanced as the biomechanical technology that created her or the androids back on her home planet in the Orion System, he was pretty much advanced in his own right. At least the bionic enhancements hadn't taken away his humanity. Although, she did sense that he was insecure about his deformity.

His gave then went over to Fixit. His appearance didn't unnerve her since she's seen a lot of weirder things back in her day. She could sense that he used to be human and nearly lost himself to his mechanical side. Aside from that he was a good man, even though he was a little creepy and didn't show much emotion.

Pluto and Cyborg were helping the hermit with inspecting the pod, taking notes and stuff so they could put it back together. At the meantime, Beast Boy decided to make conversation with Blackbird.

"So, you're a Sabretron, huh?" he asked.

"Yes," Blackbird answered.

"Cool, what's that like? How did you transform like that?" he asked. He was referring to her change from Beast Mode to Battle Mode.

"I'm not really sure, I just do." Blackbird demonstrated by saying, "Beast Mode." And in the Sabretron's place was a large black crow. "Blackbird-Maximize!" she transformed back.

"Doesn't that hurt?" he asked worriedly. She shook her head.

"Not really. Some of my parts are mechanical and other parts are organic. My armor right now is made out of a combination of organic and synthetic substances to give me defense in battle as well as allow me flight capabilities like my Beast Mode." All these big words confused Beast Boy. She noticed this and gave him a simplified version. "I'm part robot and part bird."

"Oh." Blackbird chuckled.

The three 'scientists' put the pod back together without much trouble.

"This pod appears old but amazing. Even though it had been buried under all that junk, the life support system still functioned after all this time," Fixit analyzed.

Pluto said, "I heard stuff from DT about how Sabretrons would keep some their crew members in stasis to conserve resources like food and energy and whatnot. It was also used during wars to provide backup soldiers."

Blackbird looked at Pluto curiously. For some reason looking at him brought a feeling of déjà vu over her. She shook her head. Fixit then went over to blackbird with a wire of some sort and Blackbird shuffled away. "Excuse me, but what are you goingto do with that?"

"I simply wish to examine your central processor for vital information about anything that could help us into finding out who you once were and how you came to be here and in that stasis pod," Fixit explained to her. Blackbird changed into her Beast Mode and squawked at the cyber hermit.

"Sorry! Can't let you do that! My brain is my own and I don't like it when people try to poke around in it. So, keep any wires you have away from me or else I'll start pecking!" Blackbird wasn't bluffing. If you pushed her, she will peck.

Cyborg said to his friend, "I think we should take her word for it."

Fixit sighed, "Pity."

"So Blackbird," Beast Boy began, "You wanna come with us?"

"Where?" she asked.

"Home."

She tilted her head to the side, "Home?"


"That is your home?" Blackbird asked. She was in the T-Car with her wings folded into her back. Beast Boy was riding shotgun next to Cyborg who was driving. Pluto, on the other hand, was riding his ZX-Motor Majin. On top of the T-Car was Blackbird's stasis pod.

Cyborg had called DT and the Sabretronian Titan said that he would meet them at the Tower. He was able to get out of his busy schedule working at the Secret Sabretron Earth City (The Titans haven't been there, yet). Anyway, he would come look at Blackbird.

Blackbird looked at the Tower in shock and amazement. From her viewpoint, if her calculations were right, the Tower was enormous, a monumental structure that stood gloriously upon an island not too far from the city. However, one thing puzzled her: How were they going to get to the Tower when it was surrounded by water? She could simply fly, but what of the others?

"Watch this," Cyborg said to Blackbird as he flipped a switched. She felt the car move a bit and looked out and under. She saw all 4 wheels of the car move onto their sides and became hover jets.

"Wow," she said, amazed. These were just like the hover cars back on her home planet, Planet Sabre.

"Hold on tight," Cyborg said to her.

"But what about Pluto?" she asked. She then got her answer when Pluto levitated the bike while he was still riding on it. "Okay, stupid question," she chided herself.

The car and the bike skimmed over the water and towards the Tower. They were going to introduce their new friend to the other Titans.


Draco and Mortuary were at the obstacle course. Several targets were laid standing up on the course. This was the targeting range, basically. Robin would often come train here to practice his martial arts as the targets popped up on random.

Jinx sat at the sidelines with the baby Kaiser, Brimstone, that Draco had made into a pet. He was chewing on a large slab of meat as he watched his master.

Both Draco and Mortuary were armed. Draco had his DRA-Blaster while Mortuary had the Death Buster, a gun he made specifically to kill Orphenochs. One precise shot would kill an Orphenoch instantly. Draco was glad that he hadn't become the gun's latest victim.

"Ready?" Draco asked, twirling his DRA-Blaster in his hands.

"I was born ready," Mortuary cocked his gun. "Let's do this."

"Don't cry if I beat you," Draco grinned.

"I was going to say the same thing to you."

The two boys then ran into the obstacle course. Once they did, they began shooting at randomly popping targets. Draco totally decimated the targets while Mortuary made a clean shot into the bull's eyes. Later on, they decided to use their powers in tandem with their guns, so aside from gun and laser fire were flame blasts and explosions of necroplasm. Jinx watched in amazement as the boys worked together in complete harmony.

Truth be told, Jinx didn't exactly trust Mortuary. She didn't hate him, but she didn't like him either. It was just, well, when a guy breaks into your house and tries to kill your boyfriend for being what he is, it kinds of creates a bad first impressions and first impressions often last for a very long time. From her conversations with Terra, she learnt that Mortuary, or Craig, wasn't really a bad guy. Even so, she did feel wary about the guy every time he spent time with Draco. Mortuary and Draco were turning into the best of friends. She liked seeing Draco smile more; he didn't smile that much after he became an Orphenoch, and Mortuary was a nice guy, but he tried to kill Draco. Stuff like that wasn't very easy to forgive or forget.

Watching the chaos the two boys committed while training had gained them the moniker the "Destructive Duo". It was pretty accurate since Draco would literally burn through an obstacle course and Mortuary would blast right through.

She raised her hand and stroked Brimstone's ears. The little cub wagged its tail. Despite not having fur like normal dogs, Brimstone's skin was quite soft, like silk, but it was also tough, not receiving any damage. It took awhile to house train Brimstone and he was a handful, but the Kaiser cub could grow on you…except Raven. Brimstone reminded her too much of what Azarath had become; a dead and desolate wasteland.

Anyway, Brimstone was just like any other puppy, just demonic in origins. She remembered Draco bringing home a little kitten named Minx, but he had given the little kitten to his twin sister Kat. She was there to accompany Draco and Kat's parting words were, "The next time we meet, it may not be as allies." It was kind of unnerving how threats like that could keep you awake all night. Even though Kat had helped them against Trigon and saved the world, she was still Slade's apprentice, and despite the peace and quiet the Titans still felt a little worried. Slade was still out there, watching, planning, biding his time until he struck, and when he did, the Teen Titans won't be too far behind to kick his butt.

Brimstone's happy bark made Jinx jump a bit. She had been too engrossed with her thoughts that she tuned everything out. She often tuned out the world during meditation. She saw Draco and Mortuary, laughing as they had a good workout. She looked over and saw the destruction as pieces of broken wood littered the field. They could just clean it up later anyway. Brimstone padded towards his master and leapt into the Dragon Knight's arms, licking his face. Draco laughed. Jinx smiled, got up on her feet, and walked towards the two boys and one demon dog.

"How was your workout?" she asked.

Draco smiled, "Pretty good, Jinx. Right, Craig?"

"Yep, Leo," Mortuary agreed.

Jinx narrowed her eyes at Mortuary suspiciously. But then her eyes went over to the horizon. She saw the T-Car and Motor Majin approaching. "It looks like those three are back. Wonder what they found this time?"

"They were at the junkyard, right?" Draco said as he put the little cub down.

"It can't smell as bad as Beast Boy, can it? I mean, he smells like bad tofu," Mortuary said. They all laughed.

"We better go take a look," Draco picked up Brimstone. "Let's go guys."


Terra and Blackfire were in the living room and doing their nails when Blackfire saw Pluto outside the living room window. Terra also saw the T-Car, meaning Beast Boy was back.

"Hm, looks like they're back from digging through garbage," Blackfire commented. She knew that Pluto would often go to the junkyard to look for spare parts and it didn't bother her, not one bit. As long as he took a shower and cleaned himself right after, it was fine by her. He was an eccentric genius and she loved him for it. Plus, he was a really mean bass guitar player.

Terra didn't mind hugging Beast Boy even after he came home from the junkyard. Pluto and Cyborg were his best friends and they would often do crazy stuff like this for fun. Beast Boy's smell was…'unique'. It was the best word she could come up with to describe him.

Mortuary, Jinx, Draco and Brimstone walked into the living room. Mortuary looked at his pyrokinetic friend with disbelief. "Giant mutant vegetables? You're kidding! Okay, I've seen a lot of weird stuff, but that can't be true."

"Believe me, it's true. There's even some footage of what happened if you want to see. We swiped it from the security cams on that day," Draco told him.

Jinx added, "When I saw those giant peas and big broccoli, I nearly couldn't believe it myself."

Brimstone let out a bark as he leapt onto the couch and curled up to sleep. No one else but Draco and Jinx could get him off the couch without losing their fingers. Besides, it was best to let sleeping demon dogs lie.

"And this is the common/living room!" Cyborg announced like he was giving a tour. Behind were Pluto, Beast Boy…and a robotic looking copper female in black crow-like armor.

"Nice place," Blackbird commented.

They noticed the others looking at them and even Brimstone woke up to take a gander at their guest. Blackbird noticed this.

Blackfire asked, feeling a little irritated, "Takada…who's she?"

"And where did she come from?" Terra asked, her question directed to Beast Boy.

"We found her in a junkyard!" Beast Boy answered. "In a status…sandwich…steamboat…?" he couldn't remember the right word.

"In a stasis pod," Pluto helped him.

"Yeah, a stasis pod!"

"A stasis pod?" Mortuary asked Draco.

"News to me," The Dragon Knight shrugged.

"What kind of stasis pod?" Blackfire asked.

Blackbird answered, "A Sabretronian one." Blackfire gasped, No wonder the symbol on her helmet was so familiar. "Hello you all and my name is Blackbird."

"Why?" Terra asked and Blackbird answered by transforming into her Beast Mode, a crow. "Oh, stupid question," Terra said sheepishly. "I'm Terra." Blackbird transformed back.

The Titans then introduced themselves one by one.

"Jinx."

"Mortuary."

"Blackfire"

"I'm Draco." Draco picked up Brimstone. "And this is my pet, Brimstone."

"It's nice to meet you all. You have a really nice home. Interesting structure and equipped very well," Blackbird complimented.

"It's enough to get us by," Blackfire said.

"Anyway, Blackbird will be staying with us until DT comes over to check her out," Cyborg said.

"Who's DT?" Blackbird asked.

"He's a Titan," Beast Boy answered. "Now he works at a Secret Sabretron City."

"There's a Sabretron City? Where?" Blackbird was curious. Just how long was she in that pod?

"Blacky, if we knew, it wouldn't be a secret now would it?" Pluto said to her.

"Makes sense. So where will I be sleeping?"

"Well, there are a lot of guest rooms here. I'm staying in one. Maybe I can show you the way?" Mortuary offered.

"By Primus, thank you."


Meanwhile, a pair of familiar bird-based Deathtrons was in the junkyard. They had been there ever since the battle to retrieve 'The Prototype' a.k.a. Double-Trouble/DT. They had been abandoned on Earth and had no way of getting back to their home planet, Planet Death from the Orion System. These Deathtrons were the H.A.W.K.S., Dreadwind and Blackwing.

"Rummaging through garbage like vermin," Blackwing snorted. "I can't live like this."

"We have to make due, brother," Dreadwind said to his sibling. "We do not have any Earth currency and we cannot simply walk amongst humans as we are to blend in. Our Holo-projectors were damaged in that fight, remember?" They used Holo-projectors to disguise their forms from humans and blend in.

"Why don't we just break into one of those banks and steal the money? That way we can buy efficient parts to repair ourselves," Blackwing kicked a paint can away.

"And face those Teen Titans again? They defeated us before and in our current state they would simply dominate us."

"Whatever," Blackwing said he rolled his eyes. He then saw something peculiar. "Hey Dreadwind, come here and take a look." Dreadwind sighed and walked to his brother.

"What is it?" he then saw that Blackwing was pointing into some sort of slide/tunnel.

"Want to check it out?"

"I got nothing more to lose. After you Blackwing."

The two jumped into the tunnel that would lead them to Fixit's home.

To Be Continued…

Oh no! Fixit is in danger! Blackwing and Dreadwind are going to use Fixit's equipment to fix themselves. Oh man! Guess where they'll go once they're properly fixed up? Tune in for more answers.

And if you still remember who Dreadwind and Blackwing are, gimme a call. If you want to borrow them, let me know, kay?
