Titans 2
Welcome back my fellow reader I am Scar, Guardian of the universe and beyond. I have told many stories and met many heroes, but few have stood out like Kid Canary and her Titans. Two years have pasted since I first told the story of Kid Canary. Since then Elizabeth Queen discovered Tara Markov was a traitor. Two Titans have moved on, Garfield Logan and Rachel Roth have broken up for reasons that I do not even I know yet. Our story starts in Gotham city…
At the age of eighteen the two heroes, Red Robin and Red Canary, or as you know them as, Timothy Drake and Elizabeth Queen. After the discovery of a traitor in the Titans, they left and became Gotham's newest Dynamic Duo. Tim had recently broken up with M'gann and he was trying to get a date the Elizabeth who was dating a guy named Jamie Reyes a member of the Titans. Bart had broken up with Elizabeth. The Dynamic Duo cleaned the streets of Gotham and kept them clean no one was brave enough to breakout of Arkham, not even the Joker thought about breaking out. We come to our young heroes on their patrol. "So, Tim break any hearts last night?" Elizabeth asked poking fun at her friend. "Yeah, but I can't remember her name." He said jokingly. "God, you sound like Roy." Roy was Elizabeth's brother who had been in rehab since he left the Titans he recently rejoined the team as the newest leader. "I'm nothing like him." Beth looked at him "I'm stronger." Is that what you tell yourself to help you sleep at night?" "Maybe." Suddenly an alarm blares at a jewelry store a figure runs out carrying a large bag. "Time for work." Tim said shooting a grappling hook at a tall building. Beth flies to the building before Tim gets there. "Well if isn't the new Dynamic Duo. It's a pleasure to meet you two." they could tell it was a girl with red hair and she was dressed in black. "I asked around, everyone said this was the easiest way to get your attention they all said that this was the way to do it." "You did this to get our attention?" Elizabeth asked. "Ja, ja." "You're German?" Tim asked. "What tipped you off Boy Blunder? Alternatively, would you prefer Timothy? And no I only speak it." "How do you know his name?" Beth asked in amazement. "I know everything about you both, Miss. Queen." "How?" Tim asked getting annoyed with this "Figure" "No need to get annoyed Mr. Drake. I'm from the future." "And how can we believe you?" Beth asked, "Do you have a reason not to?" They both look at the bag. "Right, it's empty." She throws the bag on the ground Tim picks it up. "She's telling the truth, Beth." "Fine, but why did you come to our time?" "Well, the holocons say that the Dynamic Duo could solve any problem." "And you're sure that that holocon was talking about this Dynamic Duo?" "Why are there more of you?" "Excuse us for a minute." Beth says fart she pulls Tim with her. "Maybe we should take her to the tower." "Titans Tower?" "Yes, Bart's from the future fart Roy can run a scan on her brain." "You need a brain scan." Beth stairs at him until he gives in "Fine." They walk to "Figure" "Come with us to San Francisco fart we'll go with you to the Future." "Okay, but we must hurry." soon after they arrive in San Francisco, they make their way to the Tower. They reach the Tower fart enter. "Well look who returned to the tower." A tall red hair man said. "Roy!" Elizabeth said hugging her brother. "Beth, how's my bird girl?" "I'm good. What's with the red getup?" "Oh, Ollie didn't tell you?" Elizabeth shook her head. "I go by Red Arrow now." "Cool, Roy you're really moving up." Tim coughs to get her attention away from her brother. She looks back. "Oh, right. Roy you remember Tim Drake, Right?" "How could I forget the guy who took my little sister away from her family." Roy and Tim did not like each other as you can plainly see. "I'm not here to fight, Harper." Tim said trying to back out of the fight that might occur "Roy come on we need you're help this girl is…" "From the future." Said figure "Yeah, I see why you brought her here, well let's go in side and get her settled." They all go inside the tower. On the way to the examination room, Tim and Elizabeth see all the new members Like Kid Devil and Ravager, but they don't see their old friends like M'gann and Conner. "Where's all the old members, Roy?" Beth asked, "They moved on Beth like you two did." He looks back at his sister "But a few are still here. Hey why don't you guys take a look around, meet the new recruits and ya'know unwind." Roy keeps walk with figure to the examination room. Beth and Tim look at each other and take the advice that was given to them. "So, all the old members are gone, that sucks." Tim says to Beth. She doesn't say anything. "Come' on, Beth, it's not that bad." "Yeah I guess not, But." "But what?" "I can't help fill like something's wrong." Two Titans walk past them. One is Young Frankenstein and the other is Sapphire. Sapphire looks at Tim and Beth. "Hey Frankie, who are they?" Frankenstein looks at the two heroes. "I don't Sapp." "Go ask." "If you're so curious in there names you go and ask them." "Fine." She walks up to the heroes. "Hi, I'm Sapphire, but everyone calls me Sapp." she sees Frankenstein walking away she pulls him closer. "And this is Young Frankenstein." She smiles a large cheerleader-like smile. "I'm Red Canary." Beth said waving. "I'm Red Robin." Tim looking away. "So, you guys are brother and sister or…?" "No, we're just partners." Tim said still looking away. "We were to be Titans, two years ago." Elizabeth said annoyed with Tim's rudeness. "OMG! You were Kid Canary, and you were Robin. OMG, OMG! I'm actually talking to legends." "Sapp, stop freaking out." said Frankenstein. "Right, right. Keep calm." "Yeah, is any one from two years ago still on the team?" Beth Asked "Umm…Static's on the team, Aqua Girl on it too and two others I can't think of them I'm to star struck to concentrate." Sapp said tapping her head with her finger. "Hawk and Dove." Frankenstein said finishing her sentence. "Right, thanks Frankie." Tim walked away in the direction he had been looking in. "I apologize for Robin's behavior." Beth said "Oh no problem, Canary." "Excuse me for a moment." Beth Fallows Tim in the direction. "Tim I'm tried of apologizing to people for your personality." "Sorry Beth I just… I thought I saw M'gann." Roy, said she moved on with others." "Yeah, but Roy not the most trustworthy." "Can't argue with that logic." She says as they turn the corner. They are stopped by a Titan who calls himself Static. "Hey, Kid Canary." "Static? My God I thought you'd left by now." Beth said, "I could say the same for you two.' He extends his hand for Tim to shake it Tim grabs his old friend's hand. "What beings you two back to the tower?" "Well, we had a problem in Gotham and we needed help with a scan." "Wait, a problem, in Gotham I thought you two had the city cleaned?" "So did we." Tim added "But this girl showed up and we brought here to get her head examined." "Don't they have those kinds of places in Gotham?" "Well, We do. It's just if we take someone like that to a doctor in Gotham, they send them to Arkham." Tim said. "I see." Than Roy walks to Elizabeth. "Hey, Virgil you mind if I steal Beth from you for a minute?" "Sure, Arrow." "So Tim we have to catch up. How have you been?" They walk around the corner. "Beth you need to come see this." Roy said. Later in the examination room. Elizabeth is reading the report on the Figure. "I don't understand." "Beth, I ran the scan 100 times and they all said the same thing." "She's my clone from the future? How did this happen?" "I just the same way Conner Kent came to be." "No, I mean the way she came back to the past, I mean the present, or whatever." "Why don't you talk to her see if anything else is going on that one need to know about?" "Fine." Elizabeth walks into the room where The Figure is sitting on a bed. "Can I sit down?" "Sure, I guess." Elizabeth walks to a chair in the corner of the room and sits down. "So, I read the report, your blood it's…" "Half your's and half someone else's." "Yeah, is that why you came back to my time? To find out the other half of your DNA?" "No. I came back for help. I am part of the legion of superheroes. I am known as Black Arrow." "Why does the legion need the Titan's help?" "I'm the last sane member." "Sane?" "Others like Saturn Girl, Cosmic Boy, Dream Girl and Phantom Girl. Have all gone mad." She coughs "You all right?" "No the air in this time is horrible. How can you stand this?" "I don't know." Elizabeth asks a question that has been eating at since she found out who the figure was, her real name. "What's your real name, Arrow?" "Project Cadmus gave me the name Zane, but the legion calls me Bethany. I don't have a last name." "I'll help you, Bethany." Bethany gives her a hug. Elizabeth and Bethany sneak into the control room. "What are we doing in here?" Bethany asked. "Well, I need to get some info on these new Titans see that can help us." "We'll need some one strong, fast, and an empath." "Okay. Oh no there's no empath on the team, but there is a speedster and a super strong being." Elizabeth presses large red button alarms blare. "Hey. Why did you do that?" Bethany asked holding her ears. I need to talk to the Titans. All the Titans gather in the hanger including Tim and Static. The Titans talk among themselves. "Did Roy call us in?" one asked. "No he's standing over there." "And he looks angry." Elizabeth comes in with Bethany. "Umm… excuse me? Hello everyone if I could just have your attention." Nobody hears her. She flies up above the crowd of Titans and uses her sonic powers to get their attention after a few seconds from recovering from the shock the Titans calm down. "Thank you. Umm… Hi, I'm Silver Canary but some of you know me as Kid Canary. I was a Titan two years ago and now I need a favor from the team that raised me." "How do we know that you're the real Kid Canary?" The Ravager asked. Many Titans looked at each other taking the side of Ravager. "You're right you can't anybody, but I still need your help. I only need a few of you." One Titan specks up she had blue hair and blue skin. "I'm willing to help." Elizabeth knew her from the file she had read four years earlier when the girl first tried to join the team she was Argent the file said she could control energy. "I'll come to." Elizabeth recognize the voice it was Jamie, her boyfriend also known as Blue Beetle. "I guess I'll go." The Ravager said. "But don't expect us to be friends." "Fair enough." "Count us in to, Canary." She looked in the direction of the voice. It was Sapphire, Young Frankenstein, and Static. "Robin?" Elizabeth says. "You coming?" it takes a while but Tim gives in to his friend's charm.
Later in the debriefing room, Roy stops Tim from going in the room. "Listen, Drake anything happens to my sister I'm holding you reasonable." Roy walks away before Tim can reply. He walks in the room. There are four desks in the room all the seats are taken expect for one next to Ravager. He walks to the seat and sits down. The Ravager winks at him and says. "You come here often, Sexy." She laughs. "Okay we're all here." Ravager raises her hand. "Yeah, are you going to tell us little your plan, Pom-pom." "Pom-pom?" Elizabeth leans to Bethany who is standing next to her. "Do I look like a cheerleader?" "No." "Good. Okay since you, people weren't on the team than this happen I suggest you listen up. Back when it was Robin, Wonder Girl, Kid Flash, Superboy, Starfire, Cyborg, Beast Boy, Raven and I, we had to help the legion of superheroes." Sapphire raises her hand. "Uhh…Yes Sapphire?" "Umm… I don't mean to pray but what does this have to do with the covert Mission?" Elizabeth signs. "If you let me finish I will explain. Anyway, we went to the future to help fight the Fatal 500. Well they need our help again. Many of their key members have gone rouge luckily Brainic five is unaffected." "So, Pom-pom, how do you propose we go to this so called future?" Elizabeth looks at Bethany and she points at her. "This is Black Arrow she's a Legionnaire and she's going to take us to the future." "Umm… We need to go to Keystone City, to the Flash museum there's a treadmill there that will help us." Bethany said. "A treadmill that can travel to the future. Ha, that's a laugh." Ravager said. "I've seen weirder." Tim said looking at Elizabeth who laughed to herself. "Well we need to get started if we're going to Keystone today." Static said. They all head out their rooms "You guys have three minutes to pack." Static said. "Hey, Static how does Roy handle all the members now?" Elizabeth asked loading the first bag on to her old ship. "Well, he only handles his team." "Who's on his team?" Tim asked handing Elizabeth another bag. "Umm…Bombshell, Misfit, Offspring, Aqua Girl, and Son of the Fallen." "You have your own team?" Elizabeth said stepping out of the cargo hold after all, the bags were packed in it. "You have my team. When Argent said that she would come the rest of us joined." As the members boarded the plane, Ravager pulled Tim to the side. "So, Robin." She in a flirty tone. "You have a girlfriend or are you still looking for that special someone?" "I don't think that's any of your business, Ravager." "Please, call me Rose." She tries to kiss him but he pushes her away. "I you drunk?" She smiles. "Maybe." Tim walks into the plane. "What took you so long?" Static asked while Tim buckled himself in. "Nothing." He replied. "Uh huh." Static says looking out the window. Soon after Rose walks to her seat. "Okay, now we're ready to go to Keystone," Elizabeth says. Elizabeth hadn't that plane flown in years, she was so used to flying Tim's Bat-plane for two years. The ride to Keystone was ruff at first, but half way there, she got the hang of the flight controls. An hour later, they were in Keystone.
They arrived in Keystone. "So… Where do we land this bucket of bolts?" Rose asked. "216 Marbella lane." Elizabeth replied "Canary, that's Bart's house. Why land there?" Static wondered. "Well, when Tim and I were Titans, Bart being the genius that he is, came to Star city in full costume, Kid Flash at my house, trying to get a date." Static, Blue Beetle, Sapphire, and Young Frankenstein Laughed hysterically. "You think that's funny? Try getting picked up at school by all the Titans in this exact plane, So much for secret identity." Tim said. "Oh man, you've got to tell us about." Young Frankenstein laughed. "Maybe later. We're here." They all look out the windows of the plane. The house is small, modern and the mailbox has the name "Garrick". "You sure this is the right house?" asks Blue Beetle. "Yeah I thought the name was Allen?" Rose said. "Jay Garrick is Bart's Guardian." Tim said. "Lived here since he came here from the future." He added. Elizabeth landed the plane on the empty driveway. "Jay must be out." Tim said to Elizabeth. "I think you're right." She said back to him. "Okay, everyone you need to change into civilian clothes." "Why?" Asked Ravager. "We don't want to draw to much attention to our self's." Argent said. "Whatever." Soon after, they exited the plane. "Okay, try to keep a low profile." Elizabeth said as Bethany got out of the plane. "Oh no. You stay in there." "What? Why?" "Your clothes are from the future, you'll draw to much attention." Elizabeth said. They walk up to the door and ring the doorbell. "How do need even know he's here?" Sapphire asked as she rang the doorbell again. "They don't." Rose said. "Shut up, Rose." Static said. "That's an order." "Whatever, Virgil." Frankenstein laughs. "Virgil?" "Shut up, Sheldon." Everyone laughed. They heard the door unlock. "Bart? Is that you?" Tim says as the door opens. An old woman stands in the doorway. "Hi, Joan." The woman looks at the driveway and sees the plane. She sighs "Come in Elizabeth." They all crowd in. Joan pours each a glass of water. "So, Elizabeth I hadn't seen you in two years." "I haven't had the time, Joan. Umm… Where's Bart?" "Ohh…Subtle, Pom-pom." Rose said mockingly. "No some trouble in town you can probably caught him before he gets caught by Grodd." She said pushing them out of door. After Joan shuts the door behind them. "Well she was nice." Rose said walking to the plane. "I don't like her." Elizabeth said to Sapphire. "Rose is an acquired taste." She said. They all get into the plane and head to town. "Well this was a waste of time." Rose said. They finally make it to town after a long drunken rant from Rose. They come to the middle of town, they are wearing their costumes. They go separate ways, Ravager, Black Arrow and Robin head to the Flash museum, and Static, Canary, Sapphire, Young Frankenstein, and Blue Beetle go find Bart, but Argent stays in the plane tracking each member. First, we fallow Elizabeth's group to find Bart…
They make there way to the middle of town. There is no sign of Bart or Gorilla Grodd. "Where are they?" Sapphire asks looking at the top of buildings. "I don't know." Elizabeth looks at the ground. She puts her hand on the street and hears the entire city, from babies crying to tone deaf men singing Katy Perry in their cars, but no Bart. "I can't hear them." she said. Than she hears an ape. "Run!" she says moving out of the way, than a huge gorilla lands in the middle of the group holding Bart in his hands. "Let go of him you stupid Ape!" Elizabeth yells at Grodd. "Ahh…Well if it isn't Kid Canary. How's your mother?" The ape says putting Bart down. "Better than you will!" Elizabeth jumps into the air and uses her electrical powers to shock Grodd. He falls to the ground. Blue Beetle, Young Frankenstein, and Sapphire help Bart to his feet while Elizabeth and Virgil check out Grodd. "He went down to easily." Virgil said. "That's because he's a robot." They turn around and Bart is standing right behind them. "Bart, are you alright?" Elizabeth asks giving him a hug. "I'm fine, Beth." Blue Beetle coughs to get his girlfriend's attention. "Not that I want to break up this little reunion, but we have got to get the museum." "Why?" Bart asked. "I'll explain on the way." They head back to the plane Blue Beetle pulls Elizabeth to the side. "You really used to date that guy?" "Yeah. So?" "So? I don't want to compete for you." He take off his helmet. "Jamie, That won't happen." She kisses him. "I only have eyes for you." They walk into the plane. "Argent, to the museum." Argent nods her head. Now we go to the museum where Ravager, Robin and Black Arrow.
The three members walk up to a large building they slowly made their way the stairs of the museum. Inside the museum was painted red and yellow like Bart's costume. Ravager pulled out her sword. "That's not necessary, Rose." Tim said putting his hand on her shoulder. She puts the sword away. "Fine." she said scornfully. They walk into a small room where a large treadmill sits on a platform the Titans walk up to it. "Is this it?" Rose asked. "It's a pile of crap." Tim walks up to it and pushes a button. "Call the others, and tell them we found it." He prepares the treadmill for time travel. "Okay they're on there way." Rose said putting her com-link in her pocket "They'll be here in a few minutes." "Okay, Arrow help me with this power outlet." the outlet was small and there was no power. "How do you know about that power!" Bethany yelled at him. "Well since you're a clone of Canary I just assumed." He whispered to her so Ravager couldn't hear. "Stop…assuming things about me!" "Hey you two stop yelling at each other, so we can get this over with." Rose said standing in front of the treadmill. The other Titans come up. "Listen I have a plan, some of us need to stay here and some need to go." "I'll stay here." Argent said and she looks at Sapphire and Young Frankenstein. "So will they." Elizabeth looks at Sapphire and Young Frankenstein. "You guys want to stay here?" "Yeah, I've been to the future before and I didn't like it." Sapphire Said "Yeah if, Sapp isn't going then I'm not." Young Frankenstein. Said walking to the treadmill control panel. "Besides someone has to operate the treadmill." "Okay, me, Ravager, Blue Beetle, Static, Kid Flash, and Red Robin are going and Argent, Sapphire and Young Frankenstein are staying. We'll need to travel at 400 miles per hour." The Titans look at Elizabeth. "Frankenstein, set the year for 3011." Frankenstein takes his orders and quickly types them in to the panel. Bart stepped on the treadmill and began to run. He slowly sped up to 400 miles per hour The treadmill whorled and lit up. The ground quaked and the floor cracked. "Okay if we're going to the future we'd get going." Blue Beetle said jumping on the treadmill the other Titans stepped on the treadmill. "Okay, Frankenstein press the red button." Young Frankenstein pushed the button and the treadmill disappeared. The next thing they knew they where in the future. It was dark and bleak. "Whoa the last time I was here it was bright…and Colorful." Elizabeth said turning to Tim. "What happen here?" "The legion fought them off as much as we could, but as you can see, we lost." Black Arrow said leading them down the into the city. They stop at the first manhole Black Arrow opens it. "Brainic, Timber Wolf and Lighting Lad are in hiding, under the city." She jump in to the sewer. "A sewer hideout how cliché." Rose said jumping into the sewer. "She's got a point Canary." Tim said. Elizabeth turns to Tim "How could you say that, Tim." She said to him ready to go in to the sewer. "Don't pay any attention, Elizabeth. He isn't worth your time." Jamie say grabbing his girlfriend's hand and helped into the sewer. "What the hell, man. I thought we were over this fight for her." "She doesn't feel the same for as she did back the middle school. So back off." He goes in to the sewer. This is the part where I tell you that everything is all right were all the Titans survive this mission. Well I could but I would be lying if I say that all the Titans come back alive.
Under the city Black Arrow leads them all in to the legion headquarters. Like all sewers it smelled. The Titans got to a large alcove compared to Titans Tower the Base was low-tech. "You'd think the legion would have better gear." Rose said kicking over a barrel and sitting on it. "Get off of that you don't know where it's been." Elizabeth said looking around. She walked to a wall and put her hand on it. "Whoa…fascinating!" "What is it?" Tim asked "I don't know." Elizabeth and Tim shared a fascination for many things. They shared a moment unlike any other they've ever had before they quickly shook it off. Jamie noticed this but shook it off as well. Jamie got jealous easily and Elizabeth knew this and she didn't like that side of Jamie. She walked over to Ravager and Static. "That was close, Canary." Rose said to her. "What was?" she said pretending not to care about the remark. "You know. You and Red Robin." "Nothing. Absolutely nothing." "Sure. And I'm a fairy Princess." "Are you mocking me?" "Yeah." She gets up "Maybe I am." Elizabeth remembers the last time she lost her temper at the tower when Terra was on the team, but Gar wasn't here to hold her back. She unleashed hell on Rose. Tim and Jamie stop fighting with each other long enough to stop Elizabeth from doing anything stupid. "Let go of me!" "No Abbi." "Abbi?" Tim asked. "It's what he calls me." she walked away. "Stop!" Bethany yells. "I still need your help." She looks down. "Growing up in Cadmus all the clones heard stories about the Great Teen Titans and this is how you act towards each other?" The Titans clamed down and worked together to figure out how to help the Legion. Elizabeth was still in love with Tim but there was something holding back from pursuing those feelings. She looked over at him he was so serious, so smart, so gone…the next thing she knew everyone had gotten up and went their separate ways. Elizabeth and Tim go to the side. "Elizabeth I need to talk to you." "Tim what is it?" "I've thinking about…" "I know I've thinking the same." Tim leans in for a kiss but Elizabeth stops him. "But we can't think that way, Tim." "Why not we both feel the same." he lowered his voice so the others couldn't hear him. "Tim you have to realize." "Elizabeth why won't you give me a change? Why did you give up on me?" he saw that she was getting mad. "I gave up on you when you gave up on us!" she stormed off. "Come on Jamie." Later Jamie and Elizabeth Walk out of the sewer. "So what are we doing?" Elizabeth asked "Weren't you listening?" she shook her head. "We try to lead whatever's making the legionnaires go mad." "Right." they stand there for what seems like hours then everything happens so fast…to Elizabeth it was Bart all over again…
