The Titan Jet landed 3 miles outside of Jump City. After a brief moment, the cockpits open, allowing the Titans to step out. They were then greeted by a team of four. They may not be superheroes, but at least they can handle themselves in a fight.
"You guys are the Teen Titans, right?" The woman with heavy winter gear, a submachine fun, a military AK-47, and a Colt Python began to introduce herself. "I was told we would be teaming up with the likes of you five when we were activated once more. I'm Faye Lau, Commanding Officer of the Division. You must be Robin, Leader of the Titans." "Yes, i am. You guys must be the ones the Mayor of Jump City told us about." Robin explained how they knew of Faye Lau and her team. "I know." Lau then introduced her team.
"Let me show you the guys who will help out. You guys know the Chief of the JCPD, Alexander Johnson." "Good to see the Teen Titans will be teaming up with the Division on this one." Chief Johnson said. "To be honest, when most of my men were out of commission, either dead, severely wounded, or infected with this Green Poison causing so many civilian deaths in town, I had no choice but to agree with Directive 51." "Not to worry Chief, when this mess is over, it's not like The Division will be taking over Jump City." Said Cyborg. Lau then spoke. "You're right on that. Once this is over, we are deactivated, meaning we simply go back to the lives we had before." "Even Military soldiers are eventually discharged when they do what they can or are too injured for duty." The Chief added to the facts. Lau Then turned her attention to the woman in a winter coat with scrubs underneath. "This is Dr. Jessica Kandel, she helped us study the Green Poison in the past, collecting samples from infected and creating a vaccine from them." Dr. Kandel politely spoke. "It's nice to meet you, Titans. I look forward to helping you protect the innocents of Jump City, treating the sick and such." Raven remembered the National history passage on the New York epidemic. "Oh, yeah, like at New York on Black Friday 2016. I know about that." "Then you might be aware that the virus was created by an asshole by the name of Gordon Amherst." Dr. Kandel briefed the Titans. Starfire added something related to what the doctor was talking about. "You don't think this Gordon Amherst character was responsible for this outbreak Jump City is facing right now, do you guys?" Lau answered her. "Most likely. We"re hoping to Catch him and bring him to justice before he can do any more damage with his creation." Lau then turned to a electrical worker. "This is John Wesley, he will be in charge of basic services for the city while we protect the innocent." John spoke up. "Nice to work with you, Titans. As the outbreak goes on, riots will cause power and clean water to be scarce. I will be supervising the restoration of such services to the people of Jump City." Beast Boy figured as much. "You guys better watch out for those rioters, they will shoot others on sight, civilian or authority." "We know." Lau assumes Beast Boy. "We also dealt with flamethrowing Cleaners, who thought they could just end the virus by burning everyone who is infected, Rikers, former Rikers Island inmates who were united for the sole purpose of causing chaos, and the Last Man Battalion, responsible for some Division agents going rogue." Beast Boy grew surprised at this. "Division agents went rogue!?" That's right." Lau Said. "Some of the first wave of Division agents who went into New York went rogue, killing authority, torturing them. Others were killed, either by the LMB or the virus. But we best not get into too much details about the New York incident. We gotta save your city before the death toll combined rises even higher than that of New York." The Titans agreed as they returned to the jet. Lau and the others stepped into a Division helicopter that will tail them. Both aircraft took off into the sky, the passengers ready for what awaits them back in Jump City.
Minutes later, the aircraft landed on a makeshift helipad near the docks, with the Titan Jet landing first, and the helicopter la ding right beside it. Once everyone came onto the ground, Fau briefed the Titans on what will become of the area near the docks. "Ok, here is the situation. This tall warehouse will serve as our base of operations. Thanks to the Jump Task Force, we were able to have everything we need. The first floor will be the main Floor. The entrance will serve as a sterilization area for anyone wanting in here. The Second floor will serve as the Security floor. Chief Johnson will head this floor, offering protection to the innocent of Jump City with his own men and the Task Force. The Third Floor will be the Tech wing. This is where power and water will be flowing throughout the city. Wesley will be supervising this floor. And the Fourth will be the Medical Floor. This is where the people get treated and a vaccine to be mass developed. Dr. Kandel will head this floor with a team of doctors throughout the nation." Lau then pulled out a map of the city. "We May have the materials we need to function, however, with additional supplies and staff, our functions will improve. We will have new installments to the floors and anyone who we rescue will be useful to us. We just have to explore the city in search of said supplies. However, the area scribbled in red, I recommend staying away from unless the hazmat suits the mayor gave you can handle the mass levels of contamination there." Beast Boy raised his hand. "Beast Boy, you got a question?" "Just one. What's so bad about this area?" "We call this area the Dark Zone. It's where the virus hit the most. It's also where the most lethal predators roam. If they spot you in their turf, they will shoot to kill, no exceptions." Raven had a question too. "Wasn't there a dark zone in the New York incident too?" "Yes, Raven. That one is also where rouge agents roam, hijacking pick ups from other agents. The Dark Zone also holds very valuable, very useful items. You just need to have what you find in there airlifted by a helicopter. For now, you should stay away from it unless you can handle both the contamination and the predators that roam it. Oh, and some Division agents are bound to go rogue in there. For now, stick outside of it." Lau put the map away. "That is all everyone. Now let's go, we got a City to save!" Robin was ready for and expedition throughout the city as he and his subordinates put on their hazmat suits. "Yes ma'am! Let's do this, Titans! Go!" The Titans left the base of operations and ventured into the chaotic streets of Jump City, unknown to them are the dangers within the snowstorm.
