Teen Titans: Season Six, Episode 3
"What Happens After"
Interior: Cyborg's room, night.
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.
The computer reveals that the two sets of DNA are identical.
Cyborg: An exact match.
Beast Boy: I knew she had to be Terra, I knew it wasn't a coincidence.
Cyborg: Yeah but this brings up even more questions, like, is she a clone? And how are we supposed to tell her what we know, if she finds out we stole some of her DNA she could have us sued.
Beast Boy: God, why does she have to make this so difficult, we only want to help her.
Cyborg: Maybe we should just face it man, I think she doesn't want our help.
Beast Boy: No Cy, we can't give up, not when were this close. Something happened to Terra and this Girl is the best piece of eveidence we have. Now we have to find a way to get new Terra to talk.
Cyborg: I'm sorry B but this whole thing is getting out of hand, it's starting to get unethical. I want to help but, stealing DNA, forcing interrogations, what's next man, kidnapping? We might be crime fighters but were not cops; we don't have the right to pry into other people's lives.
Beast Boy: But…
Cyborg: I'm sorry man; I wish I could help but…
Beast Boy: Fine I don't need your help, I don't need anyone's help, I can find out what happened on my own.
Beast Boy begins to storm out of the room angry.
Cyborg: BB wait…
Beast Boy stops but doesn't turn around.
Cyborg: I just want you to know…there's…there are no hard feelings. I just hope we can stay best friends.
Beast Boy: Best friends? Tell me Cy, if my body went missing, how long would it take before you quit looking for me? Terra was more than my best friend; I'll do anything I have to in order to find out what happened to her. But I guess you just don't understand that.
Beast Boy leaves the room. Cyborg looks at his reflection in the computer monitor and feels true sorrow.
Cyborg: I hope you know what you're doing buddy.

Caption: A few days ago in Paris…
Exterior: Paris France, outside the Brotherhood's HQ, night.
Jinx and Brother Blood approach the entrance of the base. Jinx is still under Blood's control.
Jinx: This is the only entrance and exit to the whole place; the Titans sealed the door after leaving.
Interior: Brotherhood HQ, night.
The camera shows Blood kicking the door in from the inside.
Brother Blood: Hmph, pathetic.
Blood and Jinx enter the base and head through the corridors.
Brother Blood: You call this a lair, don't these people have any class, any pride in their work? My bases are always shining examples of my power and intellect. This place looks like a dark hideout for scared vermin.
Jinx: The others are in the freezing chamber, down this way.
Jinx and Blood enter the main hall.
Brother Blood: Well, well, well, if it isn't my old friend and ex-business partner.
Blood approaches The Brain's frozen jar.
Brother Blood: Not looking so smart now eh Brain, can't even handle a couple of kids. Jinx, unfreeze our gracious host.
Jinx activates the machine and unfreezes The Brain. The Brain's jar lies in a puddle of water when Blood picks him up and raises him to his face.
Brother Blood: Hello Pierre, long time no see.
The Brain: Brother Blood, it has not been long enough. Why have you come here?
Brother Blood: I came here to retrieve some of my old students, but it seems like you're the only one hoarding henchmen around here. Since you're not using them, I might as well take them off your hands.
The Brain: But why free me, what purpose do I have for you?
Brother Blood: I want you to work for me again Pierre; you do have skills that can still be useful.
The Brain: I will never work for you again.
Brother Blood: I'm afraid you have no choice in the matter.
The Brain: It is futile Blood, you and I both know your power doesn't work on me, my mind is too strong.
Brother Blood: Who said anything about using my powers?
Blood punts The Brain's jar across the room; the jar bounces off the wall and lands on the ground. The glass on the jar begins to crack.
Brother Blood: It doesn't take a genius to know that even a Brain in a jar is afraid of dying.
The Brain: No Stop.
Blood slowly walks up to The Brain again.
Brother Blood: Face it Pierre, theirs no one here to help you, not even your filthy little pet can save you now.
The Brain: Blood stop this.
Blood picks up The Brain and tries to force open his Vito-chamber.
Brother Blood: Oh I'm only getting started Pierre, I put you in this jar and I can take you out of it!
The Brain: Stop, Blood I surrender, I surrender. Please, I will do whatever you want, just stop.
Blood stops damaging the jar.
Brother Blood: And why should I Pierre, if my memory serves me right it was your idea to exile me from my own organization! You took the proud name of the Brotherhood of Evil and you soiled it with your failure! Why, why should I let you live!?
The Brain: Because the enemy of my enemy is my friend, together we can defeat the Titans once and for all.
Brother Blood: Hmm, you do have a point, but if I suspect for a second that you're conspiring against me, I'll finish the job.
Blood drops The Brain on the floor and walks away toward the other frozen prisoners.
Brother Blood: Jinx, find our new associate a comfortable place to rest his head.
Jinx: Yes Headmaster.
Jinx picks up The Brain and leaves the room. Blood examines the other prisoners.
Brother Blood: Now who else do we have in here? Well, well Psimon, I'm sure I can put you to good use.
Caption: Back in the present day.
Exterior: Titan's island, dark, stormy and raining, morning.
All the Titans except Starfire have gathered outside the tower, Cyborg, Beast Boy and Robin have finished digging a grave. Each of them climbs out and Raven uses her powers to gently place the shoe box containing Silkie into the hole. Robin places a small wooden cross at the head of the grave and Cyborg begins shovelling dirt into the hole.
Beast Boy: Let me help with that.
Cyborg stops shovelling for a second and looks at Beast Boy with a stern stoic expression. He then quietly hands Beast Boy his shovel and then picks up another. Both start working again.
Beast Boy: Sigh. It could have rained any day, but it had to rain today.
Robin: I think we should all say a few words in honour of Silkie, Starfire would want us to.
Cyborg: Speaking of Starfire, where is she?
Robin: She's still in her room; she wasn't able to handle all of this.
Robin looks up and sees Starfire watching from her bedroom window, tears continue to stream down her face.
Raven: I don't blame her.
Beast Boy: I remember the first time Starfire met Silkie, she hated him at first. She thought he was repulsive, but as soon as I handed him to her she instantly fell in love. After that day Silkie wasn't my pet anymore, he was Starfire's.
Cyborg: Silkie ate our food, my game station controller, the remote to the TV and parts of the couch. But it didn't matter what he did I could never stay mad at him, not even for a second.
Robin: I never owned a pet when I was younger, now I can tell people that my first pet was a moth larva.
Beast Boy: Yeah, a mutated moth larva.
Raven: At first, Silkie was a mindless tool of destruction being controlled by a madman. Amazingly enough he became a member of our family. Even I miss him.
Robin: Starfire told me to place these on his grave for her.
Robin places a bouquet of flowers next to the cross when the communicator goes
Robin: Sigh. Why now? Can you guys handle that on your own? I wanted to go check up on Star.
Cyborg: Sure man, we'll take of it. Come on guys.
Interior: Starfire's room, raining, day.
Starfire is sitting on her bed in an intense depression when Robin knocks on the door.
Starfire: Please go away, I wish not to be seen.
Robin: Star it's me, can I come in.
Starfire: No Robin, I do not wish to see anyone today.
Robin: I was just wondering if you wanted to talk about it, trust me Star I know from experience, it really helps.
Robin stands confused at the door in complete silence.
Robin: Star?
Suddenly the door opens.
Starfire: Please, come, sit.
Starfire and Robin sit together on the bed.
Robin: This must be hard for you Star; you really loved him didn't you?
Starfire: Love doesn't even begin to describe what I felt for Silkie. Silkie was my Bungorf and I was his Konorfka, on my Planet this is a sacred bond. The closest translation in your language is Child and Guardian. I feel great sadness over my failure.
Robin: Failure?
Starfire: Yes, I was Silkie's Konorfka, it was my duty to protect him, but I failed. Now I feel I will never forgive myself.
Robin places his hand on Starfire's lap.
Robin: I know exactly what you're going through Star, my parents died in front of my own eyes. At the time you feel like you could've done something, anything, but really….there's very little that could've been done.
Starfire erupts in tears
Starfire: But I could have destroyed the cannon, I could have grabbed him, I…I…I…I could have.
Robin: It's okay Star, it was a sneak attack, and no one knew what was going on. Don't blame yourself, it wasn't your fault.
Starfire embraces Robin and cries on his shoulder.
Starfire: Oh Robin, will the pain ever truly subside.
Robin: I asked my Konorfka the same thing once, do you know what he told me. He said that the pain might never go away, but it will get better over time, I promise.
One single tear cascades down Robin's face, Starfire wraps her arms around him and the two embrace.
Starfire: Thank you Robin.
Robin: You're welcome Star, you're welcome.
Exterior: Jump City, stormy, day.
Dr. Light is on top of a tall skyscraper with a machine connected to him. The storm gets worse as lightning begins filling the sky.
Dr. Light: As soon as my machine harnesses the energy of pure lightning, my power will be unstoppable.
Raven is flying along side Beast Boy who is carrying Cyborg. The three of them are about to reach the skyscraper.
Cyborg: God Dr. Light, can't this guy ever take a friggin' hint.
Raven: I wonder how long this is going to take.
The Titans land on the roof.
Beast Boy: Alright Dr. Light were here, you might as well give up now.
Dr. Light: Don't assume to early Titans, there's nothing brighter on this planet than the light from a bolt of lightning.
Cyborg: What, is this lightning rod supposed to be your new secret weapon?
Dr. Light: This is no mere lightning rod, this is my weather dominator.
Beast Boy: You mean it was your fault; I had to dig a grave in the pouring rain because of you!
Raven: Enough talk let's…
Suddenly the sky surges with so much Lightning the light is so bright the Titans are blinded temporarily. The lightning strikes the machine and Dr. Light's suit is glowing all over as he begins to laugh.
Raven: Crap.
Dr. Light: Now my power is stronger than it's ever been.
Cyborg: I'll be the judge of that!
Cyborg fires his sonic cannon at Light, Light fires an energy beam so large it engulfs Cyborg's sonic blast and blows him clear off the building.
Beast Boy: CY No!
Beast Boy jumps off the roof and turns into an elephant, his weight causes him to fall faster than Cyborg. After passing Cyborg, Beast Boy turns into a pterodactyl and catches Cyborg in his feet.
Dr. Light: Ha ha ha, behold the magnitude of my power.
Raven: You picked a bad day to piss us off Light!
Dr. Light fires huge energy beams at Raven; she is just able to dodge them. Light fires more beams aggressively, Raven uses her magic to battle the beams back. Light becomes frustrated and channels his energy into one giant blast; Raven gets angry enough that she gets Trigon eyes. The two attacks are evenly matched until Cyborg flies up in Beast Boy's feet and he fires his cannon at full blast.
Cyborg: Booyah!
The combined assault starts to over power Light; his suit begins to spark when another surge of lightning hits the machine. The Lightning causes Light's suit to overload and explode, the Titans are shocked to see the villain incapacitated and smoking.
Beast Boy: Whoa dude!?
Cyborg runs up to Light concerned.
Cyborg: Damn man, are you alright?
Dr. Light: Hospital…please.
Interior: Robin's crime lab, day.
Robin is analyzing the recent video of Slade.
Tape of Slade: "Let's just say the reaper can swing his cruel sickle at me, but I am beyond death's stroke now."
Robin rewinds the tape.
Tape: "But I am beyond death's stroke now."
Robin rewinds it again.
Tape: "I am beyond death's stroke now."
Beast Boy and Cyborg enter the lab.
Cyborg: So this is where you're at?
Robin: Oh hey guys, how did it go?
Cyborg: We kicked ass, like always.
Beast Boy: Yeah, we kicked Dr. Light's butt so hard this time he told us he retired from his life crime.
Cyborg: If only every criminal was like that. So what are doing in the lab?
Robin: I was looking over the most recent video of Slade when I thought I found something big.
Robin rewinds the tape.
Tape: "Slade Wilson is dead."
Robin: He used his full name. At first I thought it was the break in the case I needed in order to find him, but I checked hundreds of databases, the only person with the name Slade Wilson died twenty five years ago.
Cyborg: Maybe it's just a fake name.
Beast Boy: Or maybe he was a ghost the whole time, it would explain why he was always so hard to catch.
Robin: Who ever he was he's still suspect number one, he was Special Forces, most of his file is confidential.
Beast Boy: So you think Slade is a dead soldier?
Robin: Knowing what Slade is capable of, he could have easily faked his own death.
Beast Boy: Whoa.
Robin: Now if you guys don't mind, I've got a lot of work to do.
Cyborg: Alright detective, we'll leave you to it.
Cyborg and Beast Boy leave the room and walk down the hallway.
Beast Boy: Hey Cy?
Cyborg: Yeah B?
Beast Boy: I just wanted to say I'm sorry. I'm sorry for what I said last night; I was way out of line dude. Sometimes it takes something like a funeral to really open your eyes. I'll still be your best friend, if you let me.
Cyborg: C'mon BB, you know you'll always be my brother from another mother.
Cyborg and Beast Boy both fist bump.
Beast Boy: Booyah!
The two share a laugh as they walk down the hallway. Suddenly the alarm goes off and Robin runs toward the two.
Robin: We got trouble, big trouble. I'll explain on the way!
Exterior: Jump City, dusk.
The Titans except Starfire are driving the T-Car to their destination.
Raven: So where are we going?
Robin: Other Titans across the country have reported sightings of Brotherhood activities all over.
Beast Boy: What!? I thought we turned every last one of them into freezicles, how could they break free from that?
Robin: I don't know, an informant of ours stated that the secret HQ had been breached and the whole place had been abandoned.
Raven: Not much of a secret I guess.
Suddenly a streak of yellow energy blows past the T-car; Cyborg gets startled for a second and swerves the car a bit.
Cyborg: Whoa, what the hell was that?!
Robin: Our informant, follow his communicators signal.
The Titans speed up and follow.
Interior: Jump City Mint, dusk.
Gizmo, Mammoth, See-More, Billy Numerous and Private Hive are robbing large quantities of cash.
See-More: Blood was right; it is easier to rob the mint than a bank.
Mammoth is carrying a pallet full of cash.
Mammoth: Yeah and way more profitable too.
While Mammoth is walking his pants are pulled down around his ankles and he trips spilling the stacks of bills on to the floor. As the cash spills on the floor it reaches Kid Flash's feet.
Mammoth: Hey, what the…?
Kid Flash: Well well well, if it isn't the Hive Five, and there are actually five of you this time, I guess you guys learned to count since we last met.
Gizmo: Ah crap, not Skid Flash again.
Private Five: Hey, the Hive Academy is gone, were the Fearsome Five now!
Kid Flash: Well I'm not interested in your life story, I know you know where Jinx is and you're going to tell me, now!
Billy Numerous: Oh yeah, you (multiplies) and what army?!
Suddenly Cyborg kicks the doors in and the Titans enter the room.
Cyborg: All y'all freeze!
Gizmo: Ah man, now the Turd Titans!
Billy Numerous #1: Bad choice of words buddy. Billy #2: You ain't gonna freeze us again.
Robin: Titans Go!
Private Five: Attack!
The Titans and The Five begin battling each other.
Raven: Azarath, Metiron, Zenthos.
Raven uses her powers on See-More; Gizmo fires an electric net at Kid Flash, trapping him.
Kid Flash: Oh, a level four containment field, real original.
Cyborg is able to free Kid Flash from the net and then throws it at Billy Numerous, catching numerous Billy's before they could attack.
Billy Numerous: (Multiple) Ah hell, hey quit pushing, you quit pushing.
Robin and Private Five start duelling it out in hand to hand combat, Robin takes out his staff and Private Five reveals his new shield with the number five as its logo. Beast Boy and Mammoth are locked in a power struggle as Beast Boy changes into other animals in order to out wrestle Mammoth. Mammoth grows frustrated and starts throwing punches at Beast Boy, one of the punches hits Beast Boy so hard he flies back and lands on top of a pile of cash. The blow was strong enough to cause Beast Boy to revert to his natural state and left him stunned and dazed. Mammoth picks him up by his arm and punches him again, this time the blow is so powerful he's sent through the wall of the building and out into the busy streets.
Exterior: Jump City streets, outside the Mint, dusk.
People witness the destruction and run away in terror. Beast Boy in a severe amount of pain struggles to stand and then drops to his knees.
Terra: Beast Boy?!
Beast Boy: Ugh…Te..Terra?
Terra runs toward Beast Boy and tries to help him to his feet; Beast Boy pulls away from Terra and tries to get her to leave.
Terra: Beast Boy are you alright? I saw you crash through the…
Beast Boy: (In pain) No…Terra…run, it's not…not safe here, ugh…go!
Mammoth then picks up a chunk of the damaged wall and then throws it toward Beast Boy, Beast Boy sees the hunk of rock flying at him and Terra and turns into a gorilla and tries to catch it. An x-ray camera angle shows that when Beast Boy stood up and lifted his arms he had several broken ribs and one of the ribs had punched his lung. The pain from popping his lung is so intense he flinches, reverts to his natural state, drops to his knees again and cringes in pain. The rock then flies over Beast Boy and hits Terra as she flinches in fear. Beast Boy struggles to yell as he is inflicted with both physical and emotional pain.
Beast Boy: NOOO! Ugh…Terra no.
Tears form in Beast boys eyes, he then looks up and is shocked by what he sees. As the dust settles Terra stands in front of him frozen in stone like she was before. Beast Boy rubs his eyes in complete disbelieve.
Beast Boy: No way?
Terra transforms back to her normal self. She sees her hands glowing, her eyes begin to glow too and she gets scared and runs off down the street. Mammoth picks up a car off the street and lifts it over his head.
Mammoth: This time I ain't gonna miss.
At the last second the car is shot out of Mammoths hands by Starfire's star bolts. Mammoth looks around confused, unable to see Starfire, she flies behind Mammoth and picks him up by his hair.
Mammoth: Ow!
Starfire throws him back into the Mint. Starfire flies down to help Beast Boy up but sees that he has lost conciseness, she picks him up and carries him inside where the other Titans have subdued the Five.
Raven: Starfire, is Beast Boy okay?!
Starfire: His heart appears to be beating but his breathing is very weak.
Raven: Put him down let me see if I can help him.
Starfire places him down on the ground and Raven begins healing him.
Raven: He's broken a lot of ribs; he might have a collapsed lung.
Beast Boy opens his eyes for a brief moment.
Beast Boy: Terra…I saw…Terra.
Suddenly all the Titans are grabbing their heads and thriving in pain.
See-More: This is our chance, let's get out of here.
The Fearsome Five make their escape while the Titans are incapacitated. Raven looks up and sees Psimon on an upper catwalk using his evil, telepathic powers on the Titans.
Raven: Psimon!
She uses her powers to cast a soul self and enters Psimon's mind.
Interior: Psimon's mind.
Psimon: (Telepathic) Who dares enter the mighty mind of Psimon, no one can over power the dark magic of Trigon.
Raven: (Voice Distorted) I am the Seed of Trigon!
Raven's power consumes Psimon's mind and fights Psimon into submission. Psimon drops to his knees in defeat and releases his hold over the Titan's minds.
Cyborg: Oh my head, what was that?
Robin: And where did they all go?
Raven: No, no, no!
Starfire: Beast Boy!
All the Titans run over to Beast Boy as Raven begins healing him.
Raven: He's stopped breathing. There's only one way to help him, I hope this works.
Raven starts administrating CPR on Beast Boy.
Raven: Breathe dammit breathe!
Raven gives him another mouth full of oxygen.
Raven: Come on breathe!
Raven gives him another mouth full of oxygen.
Raven: You can't go Beast Boy; you're the only person who makes me feel normal. So breathe dammit.
Beast Boy coughs up some blood and gasps for air, all the other Titans are relived to see that Beast Boy is still alive.
Beast Boy: I can't tell if that's a complement or an insult.
Raven cracks a grin at Beast Boy, happy to see he's still alive.
Interior: Titans Tower medical room, night.
Beast Boy is recovering in a hospital bed, he's wearing no shirt and his torso is covered in bandages. He franticly addresses the other Titans of what he's seen.
Beast Boy: I'm telling you I'm not crazy, I saw what I saw.
Robin: Are you sure it was real, when we found you, you were going in and out of conciseness. You could have just imagined her.
Starfire: This could be true; when I arrived at the battle I did not see Terra at all.
Beast Boy: But this had to be Terra, she could turn to stone, she had to have learned how to free herself. You guys have to believe me.
Cyborg: We believe you man, but you're in no condition to search the city, you just need to relax and recover.
Beast Boy: But, but…
Kid Flash: I'm sorry to see one of your teammates in traction, but might I remind you the Brotherhood is still on the loose.
Robin: Well if you're ever in need of our help in the future, don't hesitate to ask.
Kid Flash: Well as a matter of fact, I've been tracking the Brotherhoods movement and they seemed to be leading me to this city. I'm sure that with your help I could find them twice as fast.
Robin: Well then, let me do you the honour…
Robin and Kid Flash shake hands.
Robin: Of welcoming you to the Titans. I'm sure you'll make a great addition to the team.
Interior: The Brotherhood of Evil's new HQ, night.
Brother Blood: So let me get this straight, not only were you not able to retrieve the money, you let the Titans live. But one of them was weakened, why didn't you finish them off!?
See-More: They had Kid Flash with them, we couldn't stand a chance.
Brother Blood: I've had enough of your excuses. Private Five come here now.
Private Five nervously approaches Blood.
Private Five: Ye…yes sir?
Brother Blood: Private you've been a student of mine for quite some time, when you told me you wanted to be leader of this group I decided to give you the opportunity to proof your worth. But sadly you failed to lead this team, that's why it pains me to do this.
Brother Blood grabs Private Five by the neck with one hand and lifts him up off the ground. Private Five's legs dangle as he reaches for Bloods grip. The other members stand mouth open in shock and fear as their teammate is suffocated to death in front of them. Blood then drops Private Five's lifeless corpse on the ground.
Brother Blood: Jinx, send his body to the pit. Private Five had to be made an example of, it's quite simple really, fail to perform in the line of duty and you'll either end up like Jinx here, or like your fallen comrade. You decide, now you're all dismissed.
Jinx drags the body out of the room, the rest of the team shivers in fear as they begin to leave the room.
Brother Blood: Oh except you Mammoth, I would like a word with you.
Mammoth swallows a hard gulp and starts sweating uncontrollably as he approaches Blood.
Mammoth: Umm…yes headmaster?
Brother Blood: I heard you beat one of the Titans to the point he had to be hospitalized. This is good, that's what I want to see from members of the Brotherhood, if you keep up the good work you'll start making a strong impression in the organization.
Mammoth: Uh…thank you sir.
Brother Blood: Continue this and you could be my right hand man soon.
As the two leave the room The Brain looks on menacingly.
The End...For Now...
The Titans return in... "Origin Story Part 1: Robin"
