The Olympians pressed their faces against the glass looking at the crash that just happened.
Kid Flash was still watching the fire burn when he said to the rest of his teammates, "So we got two choices: One, ignore all of this to keep our cover, or two, save some people only to have them turn on us once they see who saved them."
Starfire opened her window and flew out without even pausing to think.
"Well there's the answer. Looks like we're goin' with option two. Let's go save some folks." Kid Flash said before taking off at full speed.
Bumble Bee and Beast Boy joined the other two and flew out the window to help right after the first two left. Control Freak didn't know quite what to do, so he stayed in his seat for the moment. Kid Flash and Starfire were zooming in and out of the building, pulling everyone they could find out so one would be trapped with the burning tanker in the side of it. Beast Boy and Bumble Bee set out to find a way to keep the fire from reaching the taker full of gas, and it grew closer every second. They both flew into the air to get a better view of the situation and noticed a large water tower at the top of the building. After exchanging a knowing look, they both dove towards the water container. Bumble Bee shot off the screws that secured the top to the body while Beast Boy transformed into an African elephant, and threw the lid off the the top of the tower. He stuck his trunk inside, and filled it as much as he possibly could. He turned to the side, and emptied the contents over the edge of the building, onto the growing fire beneath him. Bumble Bee saw that she was no longer needed, and flew off to help make sure the rest of the innocent civilians were safe. With now three heroes working on crowd control, they had now cleared the entire area of civilians, leaving the fire to be the sole problem, but it was a growing problem. Despite Beast Boy constantly raining down water, it only seemed to be getting worse. The shape shifter knew that the integrity of the tanker could fail at any moment, and the whole block would go up in flames. He made the split second decision that a change in plan was in need, and backed away from the water tower. He then came running full speed and planted his front feet on the side of the tower, causing it to crumple, and fall towards the edge. It crashed down against the roof, and the rest of the water flowed off the edge, and flooded the gas tanker below, dousing the rest of the fire below him. Seeing that his work was done, he transformed back into a creature of flight and flew down to join the rest on the ground.
Now, no one was left trapped in the building, and the threat of the tanker exploding was gone. The surrounding crowd looked at the team of heroes that had just saved them all, and gasped once they recognized that they were the same heroes that had just been all over the news for taking down a group of cops. Some began to pull their phones out to take pictures of or record the heroes, but none wanted to get too close to them.
"So much for a low profile." Kid Flash said, as the crowd of on lookers drew around them.
"Yah we should probably get out of here." Bumble Bee added.
The group of heroes began to leave the scene, but noise coming from the cabin of the tanker drew their attention. The door opened and a man tumble out of the front seat, completely forgotten in the rush to get the civilians to safety. At the same time, a loud cracking sound from the roof of the building was heard, as the supports of the water tower began to pull out from the roof itself. With a final thunderous snap, the entire tower came loose, and came falling down in the exact direction of the tanker driver. Starfire was the first to react, and flew towards the fallen man, but there wasn't enough time to move him out of the way. The Tamaranean knew this, and instead stood above the man as the tower came crashing down on top of them both. After the dust settled, neither could be seen from under the wreckage of the water tower.
"Oh no, Star." Beast Boy said as he saw the twisted pieces of metal that rested were Starfire stood seconds before. "Please be okay."
After a moment of dead silence, the fallen tower moved an inch off the ground, then a few more, and then was lifted feet off the ground. Beneath it stood Starfire supporting the entire frame with her arms stretched above her, a man huddled on the ground next to her. The Tamaranean threw the tower off to the side and turned to help the man next to her back onto his feet. He was still rattled from the car accident and the tower collapse, but he seemed unharmed other than that.
The crowd was dumbfounded.
The rest of the heroes sprinted towards their friend and teammate, and Beast Boy even dove in for the hug.
"Oh my God, you're okay, Star!" Beast Boy said, completely ecstatic that his friend was unharmed.
"Have you forgotten that my kind is most resilient?" She asked with a smile.
"No, Star, the kid has a point. It looked pretty bad from our view!" Bumble Bee said back. "That collapse looked like it would even hurt Superman."
By then, the crowd had broken out into applause, praising the heroes that they were terrified of less than an hour ago.
"I think we did the right thing guys." Kid Flash said as he smiled and waved at the crowd.
That same crowd transformed from adoring fans, to reporters, in seconds as questions became pouring out of their mouths. There were too many being asked at one time, making it impossible for everyone but one to decipher their questions.
Beast Boy listened and heard one person in particular who asked, "Are you Titans the good guys or bad guys?"
He loudly responded, "Titans? Nope, we're called the Olympians, and you can call us the good guys, because the only thing we've done 'wrong,' is stand up to a mayor that has made some bad calls!"
The crowd was yelling more questions that no one could possibly make out, but then smoke quickly began to fill the area, causing the interviewers to cough. This Olympians became confused, especially since the fire was already put out. Starfire realized that the smoke came on to quickly to be natural, and thought that it had to be trouble. Already, it was impossible to see past a few feet in front of her. She worried that there was something happening, and called out to her team.
"Beast Boy are you well?" She called out.
Beast Boy's voice called out and said, "Yah I'm fine, but Kid Flash was next to me, and now he's not!"
Bumble Bee added, "Yah he said something from behind me right as the smoke came on, but I don't hear him anymore!"
Starfire began to think that her previous prediction might be true, and there was trouble. "We must work together to be able to find him. In what direction are you?"
Bumble Bee responded, "Over here, follow my voice!", but nothing came from Beast Boy.
"Hey Beast Boy, did you here that?" Bumble Bee called out.
Starfire yelled out, "Beast Boy! Are you still currently with us?"
There was no response from the shapeshifter, so she added, "I believe we are the only remaining, friend Bumble Bee!"
There was no response from her now. "Bumble Bee?" she tried again.
There was absolutely no response from any of her teammates now as Starfire tried to find them in the thick smoke. She saw that she was now alone and took a fighter's stance, now completely panicked as to what happened. She didn't know what was happening, but her teammates had quickly disappeared. Suddenly, a figure quickly grabbed her and began pulling her away. She turned to fight back, when she saw the rough outline of the person who grabbed her.
It looked exactly like Robin.
She was confused as to how he had found them and come so quickly. As he led her through the smoke, she was thinking of what she could say to him to explain what they were doing. She wanted for them to be one team again so badly, and she hoped he thought the same. He eventually ran down an alley way and to a group of people. Starfire was surprised to see that it was the Olympians, with Control Freak as well.
Starfire pulled her arm from his grip, and said to him, "Robin, I know what you are thinking, but I assure-" but stopped mid sentence when he turned around to face her. "You are not Robin. You look like him, but you are not him."
Before her stood a teenager who was about Robin's height, maybe slightly younger, but not by much, had a similar build, and had a similar hairstyle. He also wasn't wearing a harlequin mask though, which was a huge difference.
"Yeah, well sorry that I'm not." The teenager said in a voice that was even similar to Robin's. "I guess you could say that we're almost brothers."
"Wait, Robin had a brother?" Beast Boy asked in disbelief.
"I said almost, but that's not the point." The unknown teen said to the rest of the group. "The point is that: what the Hell are you guys trying to do?!" he said raising his voice a considerable amount at the end of the sentence.
"I know you guys are heroes, and it's in your blood, but that was a dumb move. If I hadn't come in and saved all your asses, then you would be going round two with the JCPD. They were less than two blocks away from the area when I threw those smoke bombs." The mysterious teen ended with.
"You threw those smoke bombs?" Beast Boy asked and then added, "How do you know we would hafta' fight the cops again? The crowd loved us."
The teen laughed and said, "I did, and you're right, the crowd loved you, but the cops sure don't. You knocked out how many the last time you saw them?"
"We had no choice but to render the police unconscious the last time we faced them, but this time we were doing the of saving innocent lives." She said.
"I hate to break it to you sweet heart, but just a fire out in the open like that isn't gonna cause one of those things to explode. You didn't really save anyone's life. I admit, you probably improved your image and got the new team name out there, but that's about all you accomplished." The teen scoffed.
"Who even are you, kid?" Kid Flash said, voicing the idea that was going through everyone's head.
He shook his head. "Are you all that dense to not even realize yet?" as he crossed his arms.
"He's Red X." Control Freak said, who had been quiet up until this point.
The others looked at their teammate in disbelief.
"I saw one of the canisters go off when he threw them. It had a red 'x' on the side of it." Control Freak followed up with.
"Bingo there chubby guy, and since I left those canisters back there, I'm pretty much irrevocably tied to you guys now." Red X said to the group.
They only stared back at the thief with perplexed looks.
"What? You think I always wear my suit, every time I step outside? Only you do-gooders are the ones who do that." Red X said as he rolled his eyes.
Kid Flash was the first to speak after learning the identity of the man who moved them away from the cops. "So now that everybody thinks that you're part of the team, you actually want to be a part of it?" He asked.
Red X looked down at the ground and shook his head, "Just because I helped you guys right now doesn't mean I want on the team."
"Then why did you help us, Red X?" Starfire asked.
"It's because… Well I was in the area, and… Maybe cuz I was bored. Why do you care?" Red X spoke in broken sentences, his air of superiority breaking for the first time.
"Was it because you believe that we can actually make a difference?" Starfire pressed on.
"Look, just cuz I helped out once, doesn't mean I want to be along for the whole ride." Red X said defensivly.
"You do not have to 'be along for the whole ride,' but we need your assistance right now. We thank you for saving us from the police, but do you know a place that we may safely reside in that is further away from the city?" Starfire said, really banking on the fact that she had worn the thief down into helping them.
Red X took his time to respond, really thinking things over. He finally gave his response, saying, "I'll show you a place, but you actually have to stay under the radar this time. No hero antics on the way there."
Starfire stifled a squeal as best as she could, and kept herself from sweeping the thief off his feet in a death hug.
Bumble Bee leaned over to Beast Boy and whispered, "She didn't hug him because he's not officially on the team yet." Beast Boy muffled a chuckle as he nodded his head.
"You don't get to stay too long so don't get too happy, and seriously, if you make a scene on the way there, I leave you." Red X said curtly.
He received nods from the rest of the team and they took off together. Kid Flash had to make another run to grab a few new articles of clothing for some teammates that were lost or ruined during the mad rush to control the fire. Now outfitted to blend in again, the group made it back onto another bus a few streets away from the fire, to carry them to their destination unknown by all except Red X. They rode the buses of Jump City until they were at the very outskirts of town. True to their word, the heroes kept from any displays of heroics the entire time they traveled. The group of heroes and criminals, now approached what looked like a very normal house.
"Is this it?" Beast Boy asked.
Red X shook his head, and threw up his hands. "I don't think you hero types realize that the other side isn't constantly doing evil! First you're shocked that I actually have a face, and now you don't think I just live in a normal house!"
Beast Boy was still looking at the house with an odd look, and opened his mouth to speak.
"No, the lease is not under the name Red X." The thief said before Beast Boy said a word.
The shape shifter closed his mouth, having nothing left to ask.
"Now everyone, get inside before we draw any uneeded attention." Red X said as he opened his front door.
The rest of the group rushed through the opened door and spilled out into their new host's living room. They looked around, taking in everything that the room contained. Inside was everything the average household contained, but everything, was of a higher quality. The couch had high quality leather, the carpet around them was very springy, the t.v. hanging on the wall was very large and thin, and speakers could be seen perched around the entire room. It was a nice house, but nothing on the level you would expect with an expert thief.
"Is it a bad thing that I'm kinda underwhelmed from what your house looks like." Kid Flash said as he looked about the room.
"Buying the most expensive things in life is a good way of getting yourself caught." Red X said as he walked about the room. "I've put money towards the things that count. The internet is faster here than in the pentagon, for one."
"Prove it." Bumble Bee challenged as she crossed her arms.
Red X reached over, and picked up a tablet off the arm of his couch and walked over to the group. He turned it on, and his eyes widened as he saw the number of news alerts on the lock screen.
"Would you look at that." He said with a crooked grin.
…
"3/4-inch socket wrench please." Cyborg said from underneath Jericho's car.
Jericho reached into a bag and pulled out the correct tool and placed it into Cyborg's outstretched hand.
Cyborg took it and after a few clicks, he said, "And I think that's it. She's all done and running like she never has before." He rolled out from underneath the car smiling, wiping his hands off on a rag. "All that's left is the test drive."
Jericho reached into his pocket, pulled out his keys, and help them up in front of Cyborg.
"Wait, you want me to drive?" he asked in disbelief.
Jericho nodded back with a huge smile. In under a minute, the car was already flying down the freeway.
"Booyah, she drives almost as nice as my baby back home, and that's saying something!" Cyborg yelled out.
Jericho smiled back at his friend as they drove. They had their windows rolled down and music blaring. Cyborg loved driving and would keep going for days, but he didn't want to undue all the fine tuning he had just done. That, and he wanted Jericho to experience the difference how much a little fiddling could help. He kept his test drive short, and headed back to Jericho's house. The entire trip , and even after getting out of the car once getting back, Cyborg had a smile on his face the whole time. Very few things brightened his day more than working on a beautiful car and then being able to drive it right after. The two now sat on the couch much more relaxed than before they went to work in the garage.
Cyborg turned to his mute friend and spoke, "I gotta thank you for letting me work on your car and drive it. She's a true masterpiece. I really needed that to get my mind off things."
Jericho smiled back, happy that he could help out his hurting friend. He went to go write something down on his notepad, but Cyborg stopped him. The mute hero looked up with a confused look on his face, not quite sure why his friend stopped him.
"I feel bad that you have to be writing down things all the time, so I think I've got an idea. In a nice house like this, you gotta have a nice computer here too, right?" Cyborg proposed to Jericho, and he nodded in response. "Let me hook up to it, and I think I can download sign language into my memory. I think I'll be able to match up the word I want to say with the sign that I have to do, and I think I'll be able to sign. I don't know if it'll work, and I'll probably be real slow, and-"
Jericho raised his hand to cut him off and held up a note that read, "I do, thank you for trying to learn. That means a lot."
Cyborg smiled back at him, as he led him to the computer. Cyborg hooked himself up, and using the combined power of his internal CPU and Jericho's computer, he was able to download pictures of every word in sign language he would need in just minutes. Cyborg unhooked himself from the computer and faced Jericho.
The mute hero signed, Did it work? Can you tell what I'm signing?
Cyborg looked down at his hands, and after a moment signed back, Yes, it definitely worked. How've you been? only taking small pauses between words.
Jericho's eyes widened and his mouth hung open. It worked. His gaping mouth was soon replaced by the biggest smile that Cyborg had ever seen his friend give. He signed again, I am doing this right, correct?
Jericho recovered from his state of joyous shock and signed back at a slow pace that Cyborg could follow, Yes, yes, you're doing it perfectly. That's amazing that you can do that already.
Cyborg was also thrilled that it had actually worked, and signed, Wow, I didn't think it would work so well.
Jericho signed back, I'm really happy that you had this idea. This is awesome.
Cyborg went to respond, but noticed there were tears in his friends even though he was smiling. He signed, Hey, are you doing okay?
Jericho took a moment before signing back, I'm better than okay, it's just that I haven't had a conversation with someone in a long time.
That hit Cyborg so hard, he almost fell out of his chair. He had just truly comprehended how hard being mute made things for his friend. He felt so blessed that he was able to make his friend so happy with just a simple gesture. Sure, it wasn't simple for the average guy, but it was for him.
Cyborg signed back, Happy to help and brighten your day then.
Jericho nodded as he signed, More than you could ever know.
Back at Titan's Tower, things were finally looking up for the teen heroes. Since having Titans from across the world calling in at once to offer up help, they were scheduled to have eight more Titans in the tower by noon tomorrow. Two of the three Titans residing in Steel City were on their way; Argent and Hotspot needed a break from being around Wildabeast, so they opted to come to the city. The rest of the Titans that had called in, Herald, Bushido, Red Star, and Pantha, were all currently on their way to the city. After confirming that they were en route to Jump City, Raven suggested reaching out to the other Titans that were more disconnected with society. Robin called Thunder and Lightning, and just had to mentioned the word "trouble" and the two were rushing to Jump City as fast as they could. They informed Robin that things had been very boring, and were just itching to get in some action. They were also significantly closer than the rest of the Titans, so they would be arriving before everyone else. After Robin's productive call with the brothers, all that was left, was a call with Kole and Gnarrk. Robin sat in front of the giant screen with Raven beside him; the rest had gone off somewhere else in the tower.
The screen lit up with beautiful colors as Kole and Gnarrk answered from their hidden paradise. "Hey Robin, hey Raven! What's up you two?" Kole greeted with the bubbliest of voices.
Robin gave a very small smile, unable to hold it in seeing the happy girl on the other side of the screen. "Well, do you want the fake response of 'Nothing much' or do you want to get down to it?"
Kole looked at her friend, and Gnarrk weighed in on the subject with his usual deep, philosophical observations. "Gnarrk."
Kole nodded and said to Robin, "He's right, no point in putting it off. Hit me with news of what's going down in Jump City."
Robin rubbed his hands together before diving in. "To make it quick, there's a new mayor who made some rules that some of us didn't agree with. It caused a division that caused a small group of us to go rogue, and they're currently hiding somewhere in the city. We need some extra help to track them down, so we're bringing in Titans to Jump City."
Kole and Gnarrk both had been shocked by the news. Kole put a hand to her mouth and lrt out a huge gasp, while Gnarrk let out an incredulous, "Gnarrk?!"
Kole pulled herself together and responded, "That's awful! Is everyone okay? Who all went rogue?"
Raven was the one to answer. "Starfire went first, Beast Boy left soon after, then Bumble Bee, and Kid Flash was the last to join them. They're also with Red X and Control Freak as well."
"You mean they're siding with bad guys!?" Kole practically yelled out.
Robin nodded with a serious face. "Well yes, this all started with Starfire breaking Control Freak out of jail."
"Gnarrk?"
"Why would Starfire do that? She's incorruptible!" Kole said as she put her hands against the sides of her face.
"She thought that he was wrongfully incarcerated, but there is no evidence supporting his claims. She broke him out to save his life." Robin informed his fellow Titans.
"Wow! What did he do to get life in jail?" Kole asked.
Robin hesitated for a second to answer, so Raven did. "Murder, but it's not a life sentence either. One of the new rules they disagreed with was to reinstate the death penalty for costumed villains."
"Wait, they were gonna kill him? Don't we have a no killing rule or something?" Kole asked looking directly into Robin's eyes.
"Yes, we do, but the criminals go through the justice system, and they don't." Robin replied without hesitation. He had to defend his view point on the subject far more than he wish he had.
Kole looked at the screen for a moment with out speaking, before speaking. "I don't see that much of difference, but if you say so." She said with a shrug.
Gnarrk had been thinking for some time, and he leaned in closer to Kole and said, "Gnarrk."
Kole's eyes widened for a moment, and she said to the other two, "Oh my gosh! You said death penalty for villains in costumes! If the other Titans are breaking the law, doesn't that put them in that category?"
Robin and Raven's eyes fell toward the ground. That was the question that was always in the back of their minds, but each time it came up, they pushed it away in their minds. It made things a lot harder, when you think that your friends might be killed if you bring them in.
Robin looked back up and gave his reasoning. "The rule was for repeat offenders, and they all are very new to breaking the law, so they won't fall under the death penalty."
Kole nodded slowly as she pondered every detail of the situation. "And you need our help to bring them in?" She asked.
The other two Titans nodded their heads.
Kole and Gnarrk looked at each other, and then Kole said, "We don't want to take that chance. There's no way either of us could fight the other Titans with that in our heads. I'm sorry, but we're not coming to Jump City."
Robin pushed down his emotions for a moment and said, "If that's your decision, I can't change it. It's been nice seeing you two."
Kole and Gnarrk both gave a small smile and waved. "Nice seeing you too, but I wish it was on different terms." She said in a voice that didn't come close to matching the same verve she had at the beginning of the call.
The screen went black and Raven said in her usual monotone, "And there's the reality of the situation crashing down again."
Robin was dead silent again, and Raven knew what was going to come. Robin raised a fist to bring it slamming down upon the panel in front of him, but he only got so far as bring his fist up. He looked at his hand, and then over to Raven. She had a hand stretched out glowing with the same energy that covered Robin's raised fist.
Raven looked directly into her leader's eyes, and spoke with both concern and anger, "This is affecting all of us, Robin, but we all don't need to lose it like that. You need to be the most solid team member out of all of us."
Robin lowered his head, realizing that the empath was right. "Okay." Was all he responded.
Raven let his hand drop sensing that he was more calm now. "Now, what's the next step now that we have Titans on the way?"
Robin looked back at his teammate and said, "We need to give the mayor an update as soon as we can."
Once saying that, the screen flared back up with the very same person that was just mentioned. "There's been a new development in the story, so I need to hear the plan of how you are going to bring in the rogue Titans now." The mayor said from the screen. This time, before speaking, he took the time to look around and see who he was addressing.
Robin answered back with confidence, "We do have a plan, and there are currently eight more Titans on their way to Jump City as we speak, to help us carry it out."
The mayor's eyebrows rose. "Eight you say? That's a good amount. I hope that they do not act like the last Titan you brought into to Jump City." The mayor replied.
"There will not be a repeated incident like with Kid Flash, Mr. Mayor." Robin responded.
The mayor nodded back. "That is good to hear, now I'm a busy man so I need to get going. I'm going in front of the public to give a speech really soon. Alos, I know you all can be a little behind the times, so I would also check the news right now if I was you."
The screen went black again, and the two Titans looked at each other, wondering what he could mean. Robin reached over and turned on the t.v. to see the next big story of the day. The headline now: Olympians Heroes?
"Olympians? Who are the Olympians?" Raven asked aloud.
The two continued to watch, wondering who would come up on screen. To the surprise of both of them, it was the Titans that had quit the team. Video from multiple angles, showed them working together to clear out a building full of civilians, control a fire, and what looked like save lives. The show stopping clip was the water tower collapsing on Starfire and a civilian, and her rising from beneath it, with the tower in her hands.
After a moment of watching without speaking, Robin asked, "But why did the news channel come up with the name Olympians?"
The video cut to the crowds cheering on the heroes, and Beast Boy yelling out, "Titans? Nope, we're called the Olympians, and you can call us the good guys, because the only thing we've done 'wrong,' is stand up to a mayor that has made some bad calls!"
"Well I guess that's where they got the name." Robin said, having his question being answered.
He looked over at his friend and saw her staring at the screen with a peculiar look on her face. "What are you thinking, Raven?" he asked, wanting to know why she looked at the t.v. like that.
Raven shook her head to bring herself back to reality. "I was thinking about Beast Boy's words."
Robin nodded. Beast Boy brought up a point to the public that probably really changed the playing field. He called out the mayor directly, which might change some of the public's opinion on the subject.
Raven continued, "He had to have practiced those lines. That was too well done and intelligently conveyed to be a spur of the moment announcement."
Robin chuckled lightly. "I don't know; he has his moments of brilliance. I could say that was an on the spot thing."
"Not a chance." Raven said still looking at the screen.
Robin shrugged. "Really? He's proven that he can come through every once in a while. He put a team together to free some of us, from the Brotherhood of Evil."
Raven finally gave in. "Fine, maybe he could have, but he definitely didn't come up with the team name. That's too clever to be his idea."
"Too clever? I mean it's a good team name, but what makes it so clever?" Robin asked.
Raven arched an eyebrow. "Is that a gap in the Boy Wonder's knowledge? You don't know your Greek Mythology?"
Robin rubbed the back of his head and looked a way. "Well, that was a subject that Batman didn't cover in depth."
Raven gave a small smirk and said, "I'll enlighten you then. The world was ruled by Titans in Greek Mythology, but one of the sons, Zeus, over through them with the help of his siblings, and they were said to reside on Mount Olympus after doing so. You could say that the Olympians beat the Titans."
"You're right. That is too clever for Beast Boy, but who did come up with it then?" Robin admitted.
"That's a good question." Raven said back.
"What's a good question?" Speedy asked as he walked in to the room.
The two looked up at the archer, and Robin said. "The Titans that left the team, now have a name apparently. They saved a crowd of people, and the public doesn't know what to think of them. We were wondering who came up with the name."
Speedy was watching the t.v. as Robin was talking. "It's good to see that they haven't completely turned evil yet." He said as he watched. "What's the team name?"
"The Olympians." Raven filled in.
Speedy nodded back. "Good ring to it."
Aqualad, Mas, y Menos walked in after, and Aqualad said, "Did you guys see that our friends made the news again?" Aqualad saw that the t.v. was currently tuned in to the news and added, "That would be a yes."
The three Titans East members joined the others in front of the t.v.
"The mayor's going to be address the public here soon, so let's wait and hear it." Robin said.
The news played for a few minutes more, as the casters broke down the facts and tried to figure out what was going on. Soon after the breaking news transition flash across the screen, and they were informed that the mayor was going to speak about this new group of Titans. After a few more minutes, they cut to a podium where the mayor now stood.
He looked down at the papers in front of them and began, "My fellow citizens of Jump City…"
[End Chapter]
How'd I do on this one? I hope you guys enjoyed it! Now things are really changing. Titans flooding in to the city, Red X has returned, public view of the Olympians going this way and that, the struggle of not knowing if Beast Boy made up his spiel on the spot or practiced it! Okay maybe that last one isn't a big one...
A shout out is in order. Thanks to JP-Ryder for giving me the idea of having some Titans not wanting to come down to Jump City. I think that adds some depth.
And my response to all of you beautiful human's reviews:
Allen Blaster, not necessarily and if you like seeing Robin lose it, I think I might have to put one more in.
TheUltimateStar, I can't have everything running smoothly for our characters! It's amazing that you are such a fan of this story!
JP-Ryder, thank you, and you were 100% correct!
Apologetic, I wanted it to seem like everything wasn't look quite right with the mayor, but if I'm making things incredibly illegal and terrible, that's what I'm going for. I really have no idea how the due process works, so I could use some pointers if you do.
Dysfunctional-Nom-De-Plume, the name was a great, and I'm happy you feel good about getting chosen! You gave some more good idea's in that review as well, thanks!
To the guest reviews, first one, not quite sure what you mean, and the second, thank you that you liking the story!That's all Ax4 haves for you today.
Hopefully, once again this chapter was Above Average in your book!
