C23: The 2022 Alien Invasion (part 4)

"Stay in your place or we'll shoot." one lone leader of the group Captain said. "You're going to-"

"If you know what's good for you Captain, you'll let us go." Robin said. "Don't worry, we're only in for emergencies like this. Titans, time to go home."

Robin used his jet pack and Conner jumped in really high up the sky. Their launch gave the military no time to shoot them all, but they were already too high above the sky. The mission was complete, and all that was left was briefing... and a lot of catching up

##

Last Night on April 15 2022, America is horrified to learn about the threat of a terrorist attack from a superhuman in the middle of the Capitol Building. This said superhuman is capable of super strength, flight, and invulnerability. This alien has invaded the remains of Fascana and has slaughtered everybody inside the building. However, the President's counter-measure to defeat the alien by

"We cannot take any more further measures than this. This is our best shot against the aliens, and they make their world not so secret for us. This alien has destroyed the lives of innocent peoples. When I say that I'm not going to be hesitant on picking my decisions, I mean it."

The alien threat has thankfully been dealt with thanks to the presence of other superpowered teenagers saving hostages that were trapped on the Capitol Building last night. The Chief of Police had this to say on the matter.

"We don't know where these teenagers are coming from. We don't know who they are and what they're doing. But one thing we know is that I see them save lives, and for that reason alone they get my credit."

Others who were in the scene have another opinion like Captain Joshby from the US Army.

"These teenagers who called themselves the 'Titans' are cold-blooded murderers. I've seen one of them grab one of these aliens and blow their head off with only her hands. Yeah, it's a her. You should be very careful on the ladies."

Despite the terrorism threat, there are several injuries but none too serious and no deaths. It's all thanks to the team effort of the US Army, the Washington Police Department, and the mysterious teenager group simply known as 'The Titans'.

Watching that news, the Titans surely got their roaring victory as they managed to finish their first mission. Admittedly their mission was quite the dangerous one, but it was a huge relief as they all celebrated on the couch of the Bat Cave.

"Whoo!" Garfield said. "Don't mess up with the Teen Titans, bitch! We rock!"

"Yeah, rock." Rachel said. "The President still lies on Fascana. He's entirely responsible for innocent peoples who died and he pinned the blame on aliens mass-murdering the entire thing."

"Well, that's a truth that will be leaked sooner or later." Damian said. "And even then, don't expect the President to get expelled."

"Your government is very violent." Kory said.

"Said a girl who blows someone's head off with her bare hands." Mia said.

"Hey, I did that out of necessity!" Kory said. "If I were-"

"I'm joking. I'm joking." Mia said. "You just need to be aware of the hypocrisy."

"Okay seriously, did she actually blow someone's head off?" Victor asked.

"Well, a Kryptonian's head off." Damian said. "The Kryptonians made their choice to invade us, so they're going to suffer the consequences."

"Yeah, but blowing their heads off?" Victor said. "Jeez. Talk about overkill."

"I should probably throw you in the middle of Tamaran if you thought that was brutal." Kory said.

"Okay okay Star, I get your point." Victor said.

"Alright guys." Damian said. "I suppose we're in for a celebration. That's why I'm going to present to you the good stuff. Now since all of you here are around the age of seventeen, I'm going to give you something special."

Damian snapped his finger. That's when Julia came into the living room of the bat cave with what appears to be an old and very sophisticated wine.

"This, my fellow teenage friends, is a 1979 Le Pin Pomerol, one of the best wines in the business cost about $2463 on average." Damian said. "We're all going to take a shot."

"Wine?" Garfield said. "You want us to drink wine?"

"Of course." Damian said.

"You're well aware that all of us are under 21?" Rachel said.

"Does that ever stop others?" Damian gave a smirk, with Rachel scoffing in reply. "Relax. It's just this once. I only save this moment when the whole bat team reached a glorious victory on a mission. After all of this, you may all come back to your respective lives and know that you have saved the world. Would you agree?"

"Yes!" Kory said in a rather cheerful tone. "An alcoholic beverage is a proper way of celebration for all ages!"

"This is not going to end well." Victor said. "Pray for your head, folks."

"It's a chance of a lifetime." Damian said. "When you do finally turn 21, try not to ask more of these."

Julia served the wine to all the shot glasses. All the members grabbed said shots, but Damian went on ahead to give in his aspirations.

"So, do you have anything to say before you take a shot?" Damian said. "Anything meaningful to say or dramatic?"

"Well," Kory began. "I wanted to say thank you to all of you for giving me a chance to live a normal life. Honestly, all I wanted was just a break from the war. Like Conner said, you showed me that it's possible, and you showed me how valuable it is to defend our own and to preserve the lives of ours."

"Where's Conner anyway?" Garfield asked.

"He has some unfinished business to deal with in Turbain." Damian said. "He needs some time alone after all of these. Tim and Stephanie went back to their normal lives and the rest, well, us."

"Right." Kory said.

"And I gotta say," Victor said. "I never thought that I wouldn't be appreciated on my lives with all of this thing on my body, you know? But saving those peoples? It gives me purpose. It shows me that I can be someone better. You guys showed me that I can be better."

"We can all be better than who we are." Damian said. "We just need to find out how can we."

"Well," Mia said. "I don't have much to say other than we're all a bunch of weirdoes coming from different backgrounds with different powers and abilities, and I love you all for that."

"I'm... with Mia on that." Rachel said. "Actually, I think I need to say more. I'm... so thankful that we're all here together and we can save peoples, but there's going to be a time in which we'll be needed again, maybe a bigger threat in the sky like aliens or undeads or demons from hell."

"In that time," Damian said. "We're going to go back again, as a team. No matter what happens, our job here is to protect humanity from whatever kind of monsters that are going to take them down."

"Agreed." Garfield said. "Oh and I like the team's name: Titans. It's a pretty cool name."

"Yeah, but we're not exactly Hercules age old." Rachel said.

"Right." Garfield said. "So... Teen Titans."

"Teen Titans." Damian said. "Anything else before we toast?"

Pretty much everybody respond with a shrug or a simple 'nothing'.

"Right, so I'll let in." Damian said. "Rachel is right. There will be a time when we'll be needed in the future. As such, we're going to do anything that we can no matter what to protect humanity as much as we can as we're the only ones who can do it."

"Well, us and the government but nobody trust them." Rachel said.

"Right." Damian said. "To Teen Titans."

"To Teen Titans."

Everybody followed in and bumped their shot glasses unto each other before taking a shot to the delicious drink.

"Oh god." Garfield said. "That was so strong."

"Ridiculously so." Rachel said. "I sense a strong power of lust in this."

"Well, it's wine." Mia said. "So don't worry about it."

"Oh that reminds me of something." Garfield said. "Victor, how did you actually take a dump?"

"You really don't want to know."
