Teen Titans: Season Six, Episode 2

"What happens Now?"

Interior: Titans Tower, day.

Robin and Starfire are sitting very close to each other on the couch talking and watching TV. Silkie is resting on Starfire's lap.

Starfire: I don't usually use the earth internet very often, the first time I used it I saw a lot of naked humans all over the place. It really, how you say, "freaked me out".

Robin: Yeah sorry about that, the Internet is known for being quite lawless, like the old west.

Starfire: Oh...okay…umm Robin?

Robin: Yeah Star.

Starfire: What is this "old west" you speak of?

Robin: You never learned about the old west, really?

Starfire: Indeed.

Robin: Cowboys riding horses, not ringing any bells?

Starfire: Why would a cowboy ride a horse, wouldn't he ride a cow?

Cyborg enters the room.

Robin: They're called…..

Cyborg: Yawn. Hey you two.

Robin: Oh hey Cyborg, you're up pretty late.

Cyborg: Yawn, wow 1:30 in the afternoon and no emergency calls. That has to be a record.

Starfire: Yes, ever since we defeated the Brotherhood of Evil and the Locrix I've had plenty of time to do the relaxing.

Cyborg: Oh well I slept in cause I was up all night installing our new state of the art security system. I would hate the idea of it going to waste without any bad guys in town to use it on.

Robin: I don't know about that, rest periods are rare to come by. I say enjoy it while it lasts. Now what were we talking about again Star.

Starfire: What is the old west?

Robin: Oh yeah, wait here I've got so many good movies to show you.

Robin quickly runs out of the room and Beast Boy enters.

Beast Boy: Hey Cyborg could you help me with a…umm….a secret task?

Cyborg: You mean, LIKE A MISSION?!

Beast Boy: Yeah sure, just meet me in my room in a few minutes.

Cyborg: But I don't wanna meet in your room, it smells like a friggin' zoo in there.

Beast Boy: Hey, it doesn't smell that bad in there, but alright we'll meet in your room. It's cooler any way.

Robin renters the room with a pile of DVDs.

Robin: Hey you guys wanna watch some Clint Eastwood movies.

Cyborg: Nah sorry I was going to help B.B. with an errand.

Robin: Okay, but you guys are missing out.

Raven teleports out from the floor.

Raven: Did somebody say something about Clint Eastwood?

Robin: See Raven knows what the old west is Starfire.

Cyborg: Raven, you like westerns?

Raven: Oh I don't like westerns; Clint Eastwood is just my favourite actor. I think he's…..kind of dreamy.

Beast Boy: Wow, you learn something new every day.

Beast Boy and Cyborg leave the room.

Starfire: Please Robin tell me, are all these cowboys "dreamy"?

Robin: Ugh?

Caption: A few days ago….

Exterior: Steel City, night.

Jinx is walking down the street in the snow when she sees an overweight street thug steal an old lady's purse.

Old Lady: Somebody please help me!

Thug: Quiet down you old hag!

The thug gets hold of the bag and starts to run for it. Jinx uses her powers and the thug slips back on some black ice and lands on his ass.

Thug: Oh God, my back!

The old lady begins kicking the thug.

Old Lady: That's what you get, you little SOB.

Jinx walks past getting a small grin on her face, she turns down an alley way and is confronted by a shadowy figure.

?: When did you switch sides Jinx?

Jinx: No, it can't be!

Theme Song.

?: What, surprised to see me Jinx.

Jinx: Brother Blood, What the hell did you do to your face….and your body.

Brother Blood: For hundreds of years I've used magic to reverse my age, but now magic is obsolete. Cybernetic enhancements are the way of the future dear child, and with my new body I can live on for generations and generations.

Jinx: But I heard the Titans locked you up?

Brother Blood: What, do you think just any prison can stop a man of my intellect? After I repaired myself, getting out was as easy as taking candy from a baby. But what is all this news about you working for the Titans.

Jinx: I don't work for the Titans, but I have quit my life of crime. My boyfriend has been trying to convince me join the Titans with him so my powers don't go to waste.

Brother Blood: But Jinx, when you worked for me your powers were being used at your full potential. And besides, you're nothing but bad luck, so…be bad Jinx, be bad.

Jinx: I'm sorry Blood, but that's not the life I want to live anymore.

Brother Blood: It's such a pity Jinx, you always were one of my best students.

Jinx: I was your best student!

Brother Blood: Yes, but that's what makes it so hard.

Brother Blood's human eye glows red as he tries to brainwash Jinx. Her eyes begin to turn red but she shuts her eyes and uses her power to bring down a dozen thick sharp icicles on Blood. Blood teleports behind Jinx and grabs the top of her head. Jinx's eyes glow red and she is fully hypnotised by Blood's mind control.

Brother Blood: So hard to know that even my best student is so easily corrupted by my power. Now Jinx, turn around and tell me, where are the other members of the Hive?

Jinx turns around.

Jinx: Paris….Paris, France.

Brother Blood: France, what the hell were they doing there?

Jinx: They wanted to join the Brotherhood of Evil in order to eliminate the Titans.

Brother Blood: The Brotherhood of Evil!? Those dirty back stabbing bastards, why do they continue to screw with me on a repeated basis!?

Jinx: I do not know?

Brother Blood: The question was ratorical dearie, now if you don't mind; you'll be coming with me now.

Blood grabs Jinx's arm and they teleport away. Kid Flash is on the roof of a building roughly two blocks away, he is pacing back and forth with a small bouquet of roses and is constantly looking at his watch.

Kid Flash: What's taking her so long, it's not like her to be this late. But then again how can I tell, I am the worlds fastest teenager, sigh, but I can't help but think that maybe she's in trouble, it is a big city.

Exterior: Steel City Airport, night.

A rich businessman starts stepping off a private jet and heading for his limo.

Pilot: Did you enjoy your flight sir?

Businessman: Yes, smooth sailing all the way Jeffery, thank you.

Pilot: Thank you Sir.

The Businessman enters his limo and drives off; the co-pilot begins walking down the stairs.

Co-pilot: Another day, another rich fat cat. Well I'm calling it a day; I'm heading for the airport bar, you coming with?

Pilot: Yeah, you go ahead I just have to grab my coat.

Co-pilot: Alright, first round's on me.

The Pilot enters the planes cockpit and puts on his jacket, he then turns around and is face to face with Blood and Jinx.

Interior: Plane, night.

Pilot: What are…...

Blood brainwashes the Pilot.

Brother Blood: I need you to get us to Paris, Now!

Pilot: We'll leave as soon as I refuel the plane sir.

The Pilot steps off the plane, Jinx's eyes begin to turn normal for a second.

Jinx: No, Wally.

Brother Blood: What was that?!

Jinx's eyes turn red again and she renters her trance.

Jinx: Nothing Headmaster.

Brother Blood: Good, I don't want anymore slip ups like that Jinx. Now go take your seat, we will be taking off soon.

Jinx: Yes Headmaster.

Interior: Cyborg's room, present day, day.

Cyborg: So BB, what's this task you need help with, and why is it secret?

Beast Boy: Well I needed you to help me with something, and well…it's not 100%...umm….legal.

Cyborg: BB, are you asking me to score you some weed.

Beast Boy: No I'm being serious dude. Do you know how to do a DNA test?

Cyborg: Why, did you knock a girl up awhile back? It's simple B, if the kid has green skin, it's yours.

Beast Boy: Dammit Cy I'm being serious, I can't be all jokes and puns all the time.

Cyborg: Sorry man, yeah I can analyze all kinds of DNA but what's so illegal about it.

Beast Boy: We have to get some of new Terra's DNA so that we can compare it to this.

Beast Boy places the silver heart shaped box on the workbench and Cyborg opens it.

Cyborg: Whoa, how long have you had this?

Inside the box is Terra's old hair clip inside a plastic baggie.

Beast Boy: I found it a long time ago; I just left it in a drawer in Terra's old room. It…it still has some of her hair on it.

Cyborg: It sounds simple enough, but what, were just supposed to ask her for some genetic material. Last I checked she didn't want to see you anymore.

Beast Boy: I already thought of a good plan, but first we have to find Terra. C'mon I'll tell you on the way.

Beast Boy and Cyborg start to head for the door but Beast Boy stops on the way.

Beast Boy: Oh yeah Cy, I forgot to ask. Do you really know how to score some weed?

Cyborg: No, c'mon man, who's gonna sell pot to a crime fighter?

Beast Boy: Yeah I guess you're right man, alright let's jet.

Interior: Titans Tower living room, day.

Robin, Starfire and Raven are still watching movies.

Robin: So what did you think of the movie Starfire?

Starfire: It was most enjoyable Robin; I felt it was an avid description of what life would be like in a world without superheroes.

Robin: Yeah I like how just an ordinary guy can rise up and become a hero for an entire town.

Starfire: Just like you.

Starfire places her hand on Robin's lap and Robin begins to blush.

Robin: Oh…uh…thank you Star.

Raven stands up and begins to leave.

Starfire: You are leaving Raven?

Robin: Are you sure you don't want to watch another movie, I've got a bunch of them.

Raven: No, I've had all the Eastwood I can handle for today. And besides, I have to go meditate.

Robin: Alright, well, have a good time.

Raven nods and leaves the room. She is heading for her room when she sees that Beast Boy's room's door is open.

Raven: Hmm did Beast Boy leave his door open, whatever.

Raven closes the door and heads for her room. When she left the hallway a shadowy figure passes by the camera.

Exterior: Jump City, day.

Cyborg and Beast Boy are on the roof of a building and Cyborg is looking around the city with binoculars.

Cyborg: I've got her.

Cyborg spots Terra.

Beast Boy: Where?

Cyborg: She's down there having lunch with her friends. Whoa!?

Beast Boy: What?!

Cyborg: You're right, she does look like Terra.

Beast Boy: Yeah I know, okay I'm going in. Be ready with the equipment.

Cyborg: Be careful B, you don't want her to crush you to death.

Beast Boy: Yeah that would be pretty embarrassing. Wish me luck dude.

Beast Boy turns into a mosquito and flies down, he lands on Terra's shin and begins taking some of her blood.

Friend 1: Vicki's having a party next Saturday, you going?

Terra: Next Saturday? Hell yeah, I'm there.

Friend 1: Great I'll pick you up at nine okay.

Terra: Sounds good.

Friend 1: How about you…

Beast Boy flies back up to Cyborg, Cyborg has a slide for a microscope and Beast Boy lands on it and releases the blood onto it.

Cyborg: I think that's perfect, lets head for the tower before she sees us.

Beast Boy and Cyborg fly off to the tower. The camera panels back down to Terra and her friends.

Friend 2: So what do you want to do now?

Friend 1: Let's go to the mall.

Terra: You guys go ahead; I've got a lot of studying to do.

Friend 2: Oh okay, do you need a ride home at least.

Terra: No thanks, I'll be fine, go and enjoy the mall.

Friend 2: Alright be safe.

Terra: I will.

Terra and her friends part ways and she starts heading home.

Exterior: Jump City, dusk.

Terra is walking through the seedy part of the city and reaches her home, a dilapidated old apartment building. She walks up the stairs and unlocks the door to her apartment; the room is nothing but a mattress and a suitcase.

Interior: Terra's apartment, dusk.

Terra: God, I got one hell of headache.

Terra enters her bathroom and opens the medicine cabinet. She grabs a bottle of aspirin and then closes the cabinet door, when she closed the door she saw her reflection in the mirror. Her eyes had begun to glow and she drops the bottle of aspirin on the floor.

Terra: No!

She looks at her hands as they begin to glow; she then punches her mirror in anger and disgust.

Terra: Why!

Terra's anger quickly turns to sadness as she shuts her eyes and begins to cry.

Terra: Why….God dammit, why can't I just forget?!

Interior: Raven's mind/room, night.

Raven is meditating in her own world; the camera slowly zooms in on her face as she senses something unpleasant.

Raven: Azarath, Metrion, Zenthos. Azarath, Metrion, Zenthos. Azarath, Metrion, Zenthos.

She opens her eyes and she is floating in her room.

Raven: What was that?

Raven senses that there is something in the tower and begins searching.

Raven: Beast Boy, Cyborg, you better not be eating clothes again Silkie?

Raven enters the living room.

Robin: Hey Raven.

Raven: I sense that there is something in the tower with us.

Starfire: Something in the tower?

Robin: Well there shouldn't be, Cyborg's new security system should pick up any intruders.

Raven: Maybe there's something wrong with it, because I know what I felt. I'll go check on it.

Raven goes down to the lobby of the tower and examines the security console.

Raven: Sigh. That's just great Cyborg, you install a system and then you don't tell anyone how to use it.

Cyborg and Beast Boy enter the front door.

Raven: Cyborg come here, I think there's something wrong with the new security system.

Cyborg: Okay I'll check it out, here Beast Boy take this, I'll meet you in my room after.

Cyborg hands Beast Boy the blood sample.

Beast Boy: Okay, but don't be too long dude.

Beast Boy leaves the room.

Cyborg: So what's wrong Ray?

Raven: Earlier I sensed there was something in the tower, but the system didn't pick anything up.

Cyborg examines the console.

Cyborg: Well it says all the sensors are working properly, maybe your just jumpy cause it's been so long since we've been on a mission?

Raven: I'm not like the others, I don't get jumpy. And my senses have never been wrong, so stay on guard.

Cyborg: Will do, but for now I have to help BB with something important.

Cyborg leaves the room.

Raven: More important than our safety?

Raven leaves the room, the screen on the console starts being controlled remotely by no one.

Cyborg and Beast Boy begin analyzing the DNA.

Cyborg: Okay it'll take a couple of minutes for the computer to scan for a match.

Beast Boy: Jesus man, I can't handle the stress, the anticipation. If this Girl really isn't Terra I don't know what I'll do.

Cyborg: A better question is what will you do if she is Terra?

Beast Boy: I…I…I guess I…didn't think about that? When I found out that the old Terra was gone I cared so much about finding her, I didn't think about what to do if she didn't want to be found.

Cyborg: Well even if the test is a match the girl could be a clone or something?

Beast Boy: Don't say that kind of stuff dude, you're making me so nervous I'm shaking.

Cyborg: Don't worry man, the test is almost done loading. Soon we'll be one step closer to the truth.

The screen shows a loading screen that is three quarters full. Suddenly the screen goes to static and then reveals Slade's face.

Beast Boy: (Terrorized gasp)

Slade: I'm afraid I can't let you do that Titans.

Cyborg: No.

Beast Boy: What do you want with us Slade?!

Slade: Slade? I no longer go by that name anymore, not since I left this mortal world, and returned.

Cyborg: So what do we call you now?

Slade: Oh you'll know, you'll know soon enough. But you are no longer my top priority at the moment. Slade Wilson is dead, I work for no one, I choose who lives, who dies and when. But that's not why I chose to talk to you today.

Beast Boy: Who ever you are? Stop toying with us; tell us what you want, now!

Slade: I want you to know I've been watching you, all of you Titans. Ever since you went to space to stop the alien invasion, I broke in and installed micro-sized cameras in all the rooms in you're precious tower.

Cyborg: What!

Slade: It was easy to break in; there was a giant hole in the roof. When I heard you found Terra I knew I had to do something drastic, if I couldn't have Terra, neither could you. So I broke in a bedroom window and hacked the security system. With a flick of a switch your own security will turn against you.

Cyborg opens his communicator.

Cyborg: Robin, Robin answer me!

Slade: While I was hacking the security console I was able to hack into the tower's mainframe, I disabled your communications. Your friends will never see the attack coming in time.

Cyborg: Not if I can help it!

Cyborg gets up and runs out the door to warn the other Titans.

Beast Boy: Dammit Slade! Why can't you just stay dead!

Slade: Let's just say the reaper can swing his cruel sickle at me, but I am beyond death's stroke now. Farewell Titans.

The screen goes black for a second and then returns to normal. Beast boy franticly tries to use the computer to prevent the attack, but is unable to do anything.

Beast Boy: He locked this computer out of the system. I can't stop him.

Raven is meditating in her room but is then interrupted by Cyborg yelling nervously in the hall way.

Raven: Azarath, Metrion, Zen…

Cyborg: Raven, Raven, open the door.

The alarm goes off, a robotic voice utters "intruders alert, intruders alert!" Raven opens the door to her room.

Raven: I didn't want to say this but, I told you so.

Starfire and Robin are watching movies; Silkie is crawling along the top of the back rest of the couch.

Robin: All right this is the best part of the movie, the big shoot out!

The movie is interrupted by the alarms and a message on the screen that reads "intruders alert".

Starfire: Intruders, were Raven's premonitions correct?

Robin opens his communicator.

Robin: Raven, Cyborg, Beast Boy, somebody say something!

Suddenly two laser cannons come down from the ceiling and fire. Robin was fast enough to destroy one of them before firing with an explosive disc, but the second cannon fired at Starfire and missed. But when the cannon missed the shot had struck Silkie with a direct hit, instantly killing him. The surprise from the attack and the shock from watching Silkie's death put Starfire into an emotionally driven catatonic state.

Robin: Starfire lookout!

Robin throws a second explosive at the other cannon. He then sees Starfire break out into tears; she then falls to her knees and begins crying over Silkie's corpse.

Robin: Starfire what…God….no.

Starfire: Bungorf.

After an emotional moment with no dialog Robin opens his communicator.

Robin: Communications are down, if were going to help the others we have to find a way through these security doors.

Starfire: RRRAAAAWWWWRRRRR!

Starfire flies up to the door and begins smashing it in with only her fists.

Robin: Umm…that will work.

Raven and Cyborg are fighting through the halls back to back; each hallway is filled with laser cannons. Raven is casting the two in a shield and the two attack when the laser cannons are recharging.

Cyborg: Booyah! Now that's what I call teamwork.

Raven: Yeah but where's Beast Boy?

Cyborg: I don't know?

Two more laser cannons drop down from the ceiling.

Cyborg: Look out!

Raven casts a shield again just in time. Beast Boy then drops out of a vent on the ceiling as a monkey and grabs one of laser cannons. He fires it at the other cannon then rips all the wiring out of the first cannon.

Beast Boy: Rule one of Beast Boy, never underestimate my usefulness.

Raven: Thanks.

Cyborg: Raven and I are going down to shut off the system. Get back in the vents and find Star and Robin, they might need your help.

Beast Boy: I'm on it dude.

Starfire is in an almost uncontrollable rage as she unleashes her entire arsenal of powers on to the security cannons. Larger cannons start to deploy and fire multiple explosive discs, Starfire easily destroys the cannons with her eye blasts. Suddenly Beast Boy drops from a vent on the ceiling and Starfire in her rage almost fires a star bolt at him.

Beast Boy: Star relax, it's me.

A laser cannon deploys behind Starfire and she doesn't notice.

Robin: Starfire, Get down!

Robin throws a freeze grenade at the cannon before it could fire and then smashes the cannon into pieces with his staff. Starfire yells some angry words in Tamareanian and then flies off.

Beast Boy: Whoa dude, what's her problem?

Robin: You don't wanna know.

Raven and Cyborg finally reach the lobby.

Cyborg: Cover me, I'm going for the console.

Cyborg runs for the console but neither of them sees the proximity mine on the ground. The mine goes off and Cyborg is thrown across the room, when he lands more cannons are deployed from the ceiling. Raven flies over to Cyborg's body, which is missing its legs and protects him in a shield.

Raven: Dammit Cyborg, I can't protect you and heal you at the same time. I can't even turn the system off without you.

Starfire busts down a door and enters the room firing star bolts in every direction. Free from laser blasts Raven lets her shield down and begins healing Cyborg.

Raven: C'mon Cyborg, I've seen you survive worse than this.

Cyborg: Ray?

Raven: Good, do you think you can still turn this stuff off?

Cyborg sits up.

Cyborg: Yeah I just need to get to the terminal.

Without warning Starfire picks up Cyborg under the arms and floats him over to the console.

Cyborg: Ah…Thanks Star.

Cyborg quickly deactivates the security system. Beast Boy and Robin are still fighting the cannons when the alarm stops and the cannons retract back into the ceiling.

Beast Boy: Sweet, we did it.

Robin: Yeah, but at what cost?

Beast Boy's expression turns from pride to hopelessness. Later that night Robin and Raven met in the living room and discussed what had just happened.

Interior: Titans Tower, night.

Raven: So what are we going to do about Slade?

Robin: I don't know, Slade is even more mysterious now that he claims to have returned from the dead. I don't know what we can do, other than just keep are guard up in case he returns.

Raven: Cyborg said that were no longer his top priority, what do you think that means.

Robin: It means Slade isn't looking for us, good news for us but bad news for everyone else.

Raven: And what do we do about Silkie?

Robin: I guess we'll have to bury him tomorrow.

Raven: And Starfire?

Robin: I've never seen her like this before. It might take more than a few days before she's herself again.

Starfire is sitting on her bed and holding a pillow in her arms with tears streaming down her face.

Beast Boy and Cyborg enter Cyborg's room.

Cyborg: Alright all the hidden cameras have been destroyed and most of the damage has been repaired. Now we can finally check the test results.

Beast Boy: I've never sweated this much over anything man. I'm going crazy just thinking about it.

Cyborg: Well the computer says the results are in, here goes nothing.

Cyborg clicks on the screen and the camera focuses on Cyborg and Beast Boy's stunned reactions as they witness the results.

Cyborg: Oh my God, I don't believe it.

Beast Boy: I knew it.

To be continued...

The Titans return in... "What Happens After?"
