Raven, Starfire, and Beast Boy were not able to salvage a lot from Mark's old apartment. The kitchens and bathrooms were on top in the new orientation, causing a significant amount of water damage to those not on the top 15 floors (which broke completely of the building and crumbled sideways). What was left of his books told Raven that he did not aquire a taste for rarer books, so he could replace what was lost. What struck raven as odd though, was that for all the destroyed shelving, she could not find a lot of debris of the stuff that went on the shelves. However they were able to get the design for the sword that Mark was making and the finished blade.
When Beast Boy saw the design, he was geeking out, "Dude, the Mega Sword? Awesome!"
"So, why exactly are you trying to make a metal sword?" Raven said, "Wouldn't it be cheaper if you bought a plastic one given your powers?"
"I would be able to use any special powers and mystical properties the sword it's based on has, but it would still be plastic, unable to cut anything and easily broken. I was hoping stainless steel was good enough."
"It's not," Robin said "Stainless steel does not hold it's edge well, especially against modern alloys, the design is a good choice though, pretty, but practical."
Red Robe looked disappointed. Robin placed a hand on his shoulder. "Hey, don't worry, from what I can tell from the blade, you're not too bad at forging, it's just that the metal necessary is a little hard to come by. You'll have that sword before you know it, but you're going to have to train to use it properly"
After a traditional Tameranian "Welcoming feast", It was time to have the new Titan initiated. You've seen the episode, use your own imagination. Since it was late by the time Robe's initiation was complete, they decided it was best to do the orientation tomorrow morning
HIVE HQ
"If there is one thing we know about him, it's that he uses some kind of magic." Brother Blood looked down on Cyclops and Kid Wykkid as he exposited "that strongly contradicts your finding, are you positive you two rummaged through the right apartment"
"Positive, only one apartment got looked through by the fliers, so that means that that was his place."
"As I, Jinx, or any other magic user in either the villainy or heroism communities will tell you, these people believe magic is evil as a whole, only one sub group of these people ever wielded supernatural forces and they are all dead" Blood pauses as something he studied came across his mind. "Actually, you may be right. Go inform your teammates, I have an urgent call to make."
as the two mercenaries left the room Brother blood typed into his secure channel. The call was to one of the HIVE's most frequent clients, the Order of 74.
