Teen Titans; Sun and Moon Rhapsody – Illuminate My Earth –

/

Prologue; not yet a year later, California Rockies….mid – summer.

/

This will be a prologue so keep in mind, can't play out everything in one spell. Here we go…

/

The fire crackled within his mid – summer ranch style abode, the man behind the mask promised a long break before he'd come and reclaim his student in the fall.

Summer was over, there was no time to doubt. She was exceptional as her papa and even more so, in the art of a demanding pupil without a true direction to go.

"What do you want, under - worlder?"

Slade Wilson looked with his one eye behind him at the bookshelf in his cabin – setting.

The being was of shadow and dusk. It walked and did not levitate, grounded to humanity from the day of its creation.

~ I only come to deliver purpose. ~ It told the retired mercenary – for now, until a job fell from the sky.

"You sure have a way of showing your part, what is it you're here to request this time." Slade gruffly demanded, standing from the other side by his sofa while Hades in form only wafted in the corner as cobwebs tended to.

~ I'm curious, and thoughtful. The fire bird takes to your teachings, has it not? ~

"She has." Slade clarified that Anna was a person, not a subject to study. Nor was he. This god had proven to be quiet and cunning, more so it had a darker side, yet did Slade care to find out?

~ Good. ~ The god nodded its approval as Slade's stance shifted. ~ You and her allies will need this power, what is to come demands it be so. ~

"Demands …you never left my ear even after Athena was –

~ She is being as your earthen fodder say; reprogrammed. ~

Sniffing and moving to his whiskey in the cabinet, aged but no older than a god, this god saw something fester below the surface.

~Autur rescinded her offer to make you whole. ~ It begged to know by its glance, Slade setting down the crystal glass for his backwash with a groan. "She was clear on IF, yet Grayson convinced them otherwise that I could not be trusted."

~What if…~

"No." Slade shut the god up with a new glare. "Gods and demons both dragged me to do their bidding, into their meaningless wars. Keep your wish granting to the truly desperate –

~ Why deny. ~ Hades interjected, the fire's flicker an echo of this backdrop.

No longer so humble.

~ How you sulk here, mortal – meta. You would be a candidate for Demi - god, had she only reconsidered your value. ~

"It won't fly by Isa, if you are trying to get me to sign another contract." Snorted the merc.

"You'd better rethink that offer." He poured his drink, taking a swig at the amber burn, the ice not cooling a thing down. The madness was too long engrained.

~ If you can liberate one bird of life and destruction, we can always make…a wager. ~

"What did I just –

Hades's robes billowed up as his arms reached along, the room turning to shadow with the god's great grin pulling Slade under. Demanding to be set loose from this illusion, the god did not take. He simply formulated a thought into words.

Yes, this wasn't going to end too badly…

~ SLADE JOSEPH WILSON! YOU MAY WALLOW IN A LOSS NOT YET CORRECTED, OR WE MAY ENGANGE HANDS – YOUR WAGER WILL BE THE FIREBIRD'S OBLITERATION IN TIME; THE LOSS WILL BE ONLY THAT SHE BE LEFT TO HER LAST LIFE AND YOU, AS A MORTAL AS YOU CLAIM NOW…META - POWERS ARE NOT OF A GOD'S RITE, THOSE WILL STAY…YET RETHINK HOW YOU SPAKE TO THEE, MORTAL SWINE, SO WE MIGHT JUST HAVE AN OFFER WORTH DRINKING TO…~

/

Against the floor of the great god's court of the Universal deity, Aneg or Lord Dream wake was within his own meditative presence. The court collected themselves to watch and wait, for this character was on the side to preserve order…

Though….

The ones assembled within the grand hall were Thor, Kaien or Apollon, Lady Alue or Erishkigal, Isa or Isis, Autur or Hathor and lastly…

Hakuro; who was in training at that very time with Bao Shi to his left.

~ All rise. ~

The character in the center, Aneg only nodded in his half – sleep.

~The court enacts the order to liberate a fellow Immortal from their role as overseer - the jury r –

~He was once a god of order and time since kept. ~ Isa told the group. ~ Aneg is the god of mysteries even would never face as my true name allows. ~ A god's true name to her culture was sacred as a stolen life. None could have it easily without a binding case of tricking or alluding a deity of such power.

Thor stood and till this day, transitioning deity had him wary. ~To my kindred, the chance and transformation of the accused was once welcomed, yet what if he holds more to be balanced by our worlds. What is the reason truly that Aneg's memory hath awakened, if not to speak of a last day on this plane? He could be a prophet as she was! As Ravenna, or Lady Hel. ~

~ Spake none so ill of your saint, Thor! ~ Autur gasped. ~ She saved the goddess's vassal of the sun. You know as well as I that Dreamwake cannot revert to what he was any longer…~ Her ears drooped and tail swished restlessly.

~ That is true, yet Anya was a danger by Lilith; and Lilith was a character she refused to banish by her strength. She –

~In the stories, Hel could not. ~ Bao Shi shook her head as Hakuro agreed. ~ Dreamwake was an Archivist of the very first branches to the code. You cannot expect him to keep living this lie. ~ Bao Shi sniffed and hid her small hands inside of her long wide sleeves.

~ Yet, he came to us when Athena –

~ She was corrupted by the malice of Lilith's last curse. ~ Hakuro interrupted the adults. ~ She almost had my heart, yet it was saved. I've come to know that Azag and Lord Destiny trusted Dreamwake due to the fact he only stayed within his own space, similar to myself to prevent our powers from harming an outcome. ~

~Now, he is free. ~ Apollon shook his head. ~And in this regard, I was the one by Hecate and Lady Light whom decided to gain favor of the corrupted goddess to stall her take over. As did a many, Inari. Even the man called –

~Say not of him! HE is just an insect! ~ Hissed Autur as her eyes went to slits at Slade's very mention. ~ He was not criminal enough, yet I told him that no god would have him as their –

~ Autur! ~ Isa shot at her counterpart. ~ Wilson was…. particularly manipulative. That is why Grayson is the one to have him from his plan to make waves. We need not discuss –

~ Slade? On a pedestal as…~ Hakuro gawked. ~ WHY? ~

Autur rolled her eyes. ~Silly Ethereal! Mind you, he can no longer have the position. Hades broke that rule –

The room went silent as Aneg finally batted open a single eye.

~You…allow the god of outcomes lesser to roam? ~ The deity asked.

Autur swallowed her pride. ~I…did not see harm in it…~

~He would upset the balance already with the fire bird! ~ Scolded Apollon. ~ Bad, cat! ~

~ RAW!!~ Roared the lioness, the rest shaking their heads.

~Children of the gods!! ~ Bao Shi shouted aloud. ~ We cannot speak so ill of others as we know it upsets the great order of ALL things. Hakuro and I have proposed that Aneg speak before he is returned to his realm of original magic. ~

The gods all looked at the sprite character of Chinese mythic eras.

~Magic?? ~

~ He is a creature of the void. ~ Hakuro told them all. ~ We were allowed to speak to Lady A' that h –

~ NAY! ~ Aneg stood and pointed at Bao Shi and her pupil.

~ Light is not to the dark, yet the two must bend in order to prevent the collapse of ALL Illusions!!! You must know! The sun will dawn. The winter will live as a parasite to claim!! ~

~What is he speaking of?? ~ Thor demanded, the vortex behind Aneg growing too bright to glare past.

Isa used her magic as Autur tried her hand, yet.

~A prophecy! ~ Apollon spoke up. ~ Speak! Friend of dreamtimes! Speak! What is your vision?!!~

~ A GREAT SHATTERING OF TIME'S WALLS…. THE IMAGINATION, THOUGH VAST CANNOT REPAIR IT. EARTH'S VEIL QUAKES FOR THE END…AS THE END OF DAYS LIVES INSIDE OF…. A DREAM…. ~

/

CHAPTER 1: WELCOME TO MY UNIVERSE. I THINK?

~ We, we are breaking through…..time is an illusion so live…..for the –

~ WAKE UUUPPPP!!! ~

A yell erupted down the hall a coffee drinking Haru had already seen Yumi off to work, but Ami?

Today was her high school entrance ceremony and she…

Was super tardy for the daughter of super – heroes.

"THE HECK!! ZAKENNA! HARU? KAEDE??? W –

"She went ahead of you to the ceremony, Ami – Chan. You have twenty minutes to arrive if you don't shower." Haru took a sip of her tea in the tradition style, her fox's tail curling up with glee at the familiar essence.

"What? Do I have to fly to school, Haru – ne!"

Ami groaned and stomped upstairs to get ready and to plan. She did have one, but Kaede wasn't here for the fun part.

She trudged out the doorway, shoes feeling tighter from last year and her eye were still blurry with sleep.

"If Shoji misses me…ugh! I'm sent back to public school for this…. Aha!"

Ami snapped her fingers, her eyes lighting up as she saw a bicycle on the rack locally, though small got an interesting idea brewing in her miko – mind of sheer fandom -ery.

"I'll be a real witch…but, this IS urgent!" She started to cast as the bike was given two wings of a dragonfly. She hopped on, undid the lock then zoom!

"I'll return this later!!"

/

Dick and Kori couldn't both go to Ami's entrance ceremony. She was sixteen and just a monster with the words coming out of her mouth in two or more languages. Kori stayed by Shoji as he looked at his smart watch with a frown. "I do not see my youngest, why is she not with her class?" Whispered Star as Shoji didn't answer. "I hope she knows where this location is and doesn't go to take the wrong line. Is she driving yet anytime?"

"Her span of attention is…" Kori bit her lip.

/

"Gang way!!" Ami called to the people she passed on her way to the high school main gate. "It's Terusawa...Why is it not peaceful on the main road! Hey! Coming through!!" She spoke in Japanese to the locals, yet for us we hear only what we wish to hear, and Ami was after all of no Japanese blood besides her role as Amaterasu's protégé of a sort.

The bike flew up in a hover as the dragonfly wings flapped to pluck her up into the air. She peddlred until blisters formed while her skirt –

Ah….

She screamed and went even faster.

"I just flashed the entire city of Tokyo? Why me?"

/

Ruffling down her skirt, she shuffled and the bike's magic was kaput; there was what? Five minutes until it was over??

Outside she saw the door opening and ran for it. Spring of this year and her first impression was there.

She had to make it…

The doors flew back as the puffing teen was panting, her pony tail today was a regular down do to look professional, now she was sure –

"Ah! You must go up, for now we'll talk about your attendance after with your parents…"

Being tutted by a Japanese top nod was…. very upsetting, but not as much as Shoji would be besides Ami's mother when they saw the news later that day.

/

"You need to consider that Ami is not…." The Vice Principal stood beside the high school's principal. "She is gifted, but this would not work to her or our devices to have her as an adaptable student; have you not tried an academic –

"She's perfectly capable of doing the blending in!" Kori tried to defend her daughter. "She excels in both the arts and sciences, so why can she not –

"Ami isn't able to control what she already KNOWS." The principal raised his tone just a bit. "Ami's records show she is as qualified with her work, yet her behavior in middle school is not…. very excellent." He looked at Shoji who nodded. "She's different, she is….not as ideal in this way."

"My alien heritage to this must not –

"No, Mrs. Anders." The principal shook his head. "She has the power of…not of this time, to make this easier."

"Mahou." Shoji answered back, lips pursed as Ami was out in the hallway probably.

"If she cannot maintain the status quo, then might I suggest an Academy where Onmyouji blood is now welcomed."

"Where?" Kori blinked. "Why is she not –

"Her magic is growing." Shoji sighed. "She needs more than just a basic education."

"And…. this will mean for my Ami?..."

"That she needs a school for her strengths." The principal replied. "I cannot assist you further, yet today this is a common concern with the rise of the meta – human population."

"Anna and Aiden were late bloomers, Kori." Shoji reassured the doubtful mother.

"Where is this "special academy" then?" Starfire stood, feeling slapped I the face with a reason that did not exist on this plane.

"Where may my child go, if….she is NOT a meta??"

/

"I was hoping you'd find my aid in time, Takayama- dono." Across from the fox was a white haired majesty of trickery and wisdom. "Kazu…Inari- San." Begged Shoji with his basic prayer hands up. "I know you have connections. Tokyo is not a fan of training future magi."

"As time predestined it to be." Shrugged the kitsune God to the guardian hound of Hades. "Ami was not only chosen; she is destined to make a choice between a life with or without these woes."

"JUST." Shoji heaved a sigh. "Can you get her into THAT, SCHOOL?"

"The one in the mountains…. or…." Waving it off, Shoji glared at Inari to quit his games. "Main, town if possible."

"Humm…Honshu is far too remote…" Inari sat back to ponder. "How about….ah! There is an order, an all girl's sacred schooling ground but…it is quite a trip. For your wallet."

"Don't care about that." Shoji frowned and sat back with arms crossed. His drink was getting weak as it sat there. "Can she teleport herself? I heard on the news; a bit unidealistic for the god's next candidate." Chuckled the kitsune to his ally.

"We all make mistakes, especially to be heard." Shoji smirked, having a good smile back from the fox at his table. "I know of it, so I'll gladly see if I can pull a few strings. I do protect the school as a long time…benefactor to the original founder."

"Abe No Semei's school of the Omyoudo??"

"A PRIVATE course." The kitsune hissed back across the table. "She'd have to pass with flying colors in her first term, and if she can't?"

"She will." Shoji sniffed; boasting her impressive power but not her tact altogether. Inari was right. Ami had to buckle down if she ever wanted to become a real magical asset to her home world one day.

"We'll make sure she has a dorm with her name on it."

/

That was springtime; a time that now gave Ami a well needed boost of confidence when she'd first seen the academy, finding later that it was more than that.

It was the same school from the time Anna had tried to save her from…. herself (new generations arc. Ami was Amelia her dark counter part because of a daemon's intervention and Charl's tricks. Ami saw herself at sixteen and now, that is coming true.)

"So…this sutra um………" She scratched her head with her pencil. She still had art, social studies and science to do here since her spring term had been up to…. midsummer, but still!

There was something good to come of it, she was learning her magic from an advisor who was also a descendent of Abe No Seimei who was a big shot at this school once or twice for a visit. Was he bad in the beginning with mixing up spells? Was she the only half – alien here?

It was days before the end of summer and Ami came to the headmaster with a question.

Or rather, there was a request for her to attend a night time affair with the other Omyoudo followers.

"A hunter?"

"Mainly to scout and just relay information of….a mystic nature. You do know of the beings called Youkai, from your papers you even fought a number of them. Called, Daemon, by Takahara, your current guardian."

"Yes, um…. I did. No one forgot? What about your memories? –

"We are protected by a great power in order to not relieve ourselves of our true role on this plane." The headmaster was wise as he raised a hand to guide Ami to listen.

"Abe No Seimei was an Onmyouji that exorcised youkai with great promise. His title is a historical legend."

Ami nodded. "My allies tell me all the time about…. wel…."

"You have a fox's hair on your uniform at every lunch period in your dorm." Smiled the headmaster. "Allow us to teach you to understand your gift, and in turn you will have the role of protecting your family as you wish. Even to expand and become stronger in the light magic you carry."

"You…can tell?"

"I am a child of the Onmyoudo by rite and my honor." Bowed the headmaster softly. "Ami – chan, you are a gift to this school so use your abilities to see that you might accomplish more for the future you wish to secure."

/

And that was what brought Ami into the world of the spirit – exorcism ranks that she did participate in only by night.

In the day, she was a model student. Her grades were passing and she painted as a cover – hobby, while still hoping to get that ecology degree in field biology…

How long had it been since? She gnawed on the head of a sweet azuki filled 'Taiyaki cake' as she wanted for the bus by the street outside of her district. Today was a day off, and it had been drizzling on and off so much more than had been predicted by the caster earlier.

One thing she could not change was the weather, but man!

"Are you going to eat that or stare at the sky, Ami -chan?" Haru nibbled on her nikuman bun and sighed into the juices as Ami shrugged and continued to daydream.

"I have to make them all proud of me." She bit at the side of her cake, hot steam pushing out as the delicious treat made her mouth suddenly water since last October.

"I came with you today on your day off to pick up supplies in town, and to eat these delightful treats while Kaede is unavailable to us both." The two sat, not going on about much else before the rain had started to increase a bit.

"Time to get to work!" Ami shoved the last bite in before gulping, leaving Haru's ears to twitch by the teen's manners.

"You have our gear, Haru -chi?"

"Why wouldn't I, Ami -kun?" Smirked the fox as she swallowed the last bite nearly whole, Ami impressed that the dainty fix had not choked with her doggie jaws as a plus.

"CAUSE, it's ShowTime!"

/

In Japan, it was not illegal to have underground rock concerts, yet this case was a tricky one. A wily Tanuki held the answers, and Ami had decided to go under cover until Kaede met up with them.

"Haru, is she going to really put a spell on us so that we look like punk idiots?"

Haru's ears drooped. "Yes, and I will be the lead so you two must follow. The tanuki runs this club so I can fake your ID and age." She told the teen.

"I call dibs on eighteen!"

"Fine." Haru sighed. "You cannot forget your wig, I made sure you had one to blend in."

"No way!" Ami shook her head. "Age me up with a spell like before." The girl pleaded. "I'll be super on target. Pretty please! please!"

Haru relented and Ami found the outfit to be a cosplay of a sorceress in some series she had once watch only a season of.

"Tohsaka…Rin??? I'm a tsundere??" She whined and read the label twice before giving another groan.

"Either that or Liza from some mecha show." Haru gritted her teeth and tried to stay in control. Ami was a kid; she was a thousand years old. No go on that one.

"Fafnir." Ami pouted, correcting the kitsune. "I don't do blonde but…age me up, please?"

She still went out in that red turtleneck and black boots and skirt. Regardless of Ami's wants, the mic was in Haru's hands as she went for the drums. Kaede made a splashy entrance as the curtain stayed up. Haru giving her breathing a proper warm up as the clock ticked. Lights on the stage as Ami motioned for Kaede to grab her bass and rip one cord out first.

The Foxes has once crossed dressed in the red-light district to find a perp, yet the first Titans had gotten lost and they'd met with Haru in a Gothic Lolita costume and a smoke in hand. Not that she wanted to recall her job back then.

"Ohayo, Tokyo!! We are glad to be here tonight! Give a warm round up to…. Fox Fyre!!"

~ Mo……. there is so much tell you, it burns me to say this….so empty, I'm shaken….

~ You…. have me spinning around here, my madness on fire…. take me to the pyre !!~

~ TAKE ME TO THE PYRE!!"

Ami drummed away, knowing she was not aware that this was a screaming band!

/

Deep within the underground recesses of the spirit bounds, the walls shook.

Ava arose from her work desk and left her study to see about the rattle that was too close for comfort; it haunted her, made her believe she was the cause of that storm outside the castle.

~ Queen Ava!! ~

A faunus critter with white ears and a tail screwed its eyes shut and ran to Ava in the daylight, yet it was winter here always in the Barrens. There was little sunlight, as Ava preferred this very much.

The faunus was called "Runa" and she was a young protégé to the council head of Faunus in Icelandic Spirit world, a neighbor to Ava's Scandinavian home world. The Faunus shook as Ava tried to coax it too relax a moment so that she could see why the storm was still about on the front.

~ The ships cannot sail and I cannot go to see my big brother if it will no pass…~ Runa sniffled to her ally.

~Why is the god of wind and snow so very upset? ~

~I do not believe this to be their doing. ~ Ava took to the stairwell with her dear ally and moved as a shadow, never seen as the rest of the castle slept on through this early winter turbulence.

~I'll see if the cook might be up. She'll gladly find you something sweet to calm your nerves as well as mine. ~ Smiled Ava, recalling Aiden and his sister Anna waking up scared from a storm to come to her bed as children. Good. Her memories were still hers to treasure.

To the next wall she went where a trap door was settled, and lower still she traversed through the rock to find her dearest sage known as Tellervo; the bear goddess from Sweden's spirit world. ~ I received your scroll, post haste, Lady Ava. ~ The dutiful character knew of magic, as did Ava in her young years. To humans, she'd look younger than twenty – two, yet here she was endless. A spirit guardian and shaman's child as well as a priestess's incarnated soul from within.

~This storm is not true to the god's code. The north by my Svenska can feel it…we are in pain as the wind howls, yet it has no face to judge it by. ~ She told the Raven Winged royal, who pondered the idea that other forces could have cast a spell over the plane.

~We could go there, to the shell of the –

~ Nej! ~ Tellervo tutted with her wooden staff while her bear furs shuffled the ground. ~ You would be doing as your real mother, as Reia to sell herself of this life to save the Barrens, while you are not to be with child for this time until it IS time. ~

~ Chris left me, and for what? I have no suitors that wish to hound a princess. ~ Ava shook her head and paced, restless as she rubbed her arms. Cold was good, so why did it do so much damage tonight.

~ Ava! ~ Tellervo pointed with eyes green and wide at the woman's two pale hands.

~ You are…vanishing! ~

/

Restless, that was how the reasons drove the gate keeper to yawn and scratch itself in places untold (trying to by cryptically dirty here.)

~ Rovir!!!~

The saggy looking elder raised its ears to a voice, one sounding rather fierce within the Under realm caverns.

~ Are you guarding the prisoners, Solder; Rovir? ~ Right before him was a scythe holding daemon known as Vespa. As she had taken on the role as Cronos's vassal and retainer at one time, she now watched over what was called the "great void of ends and beginnings." A black hole of happenings and predictions that could only be read through ancient eyes, the old cyclops Rovir yawned and regretted drinking on his day off to comb away the pain of having done nothing else for his lifetime; except guard the gateway, for it could not be left unmanaged by a soul that did not possess the eye to "see" misfortune.

~ How does the voice of the void, appear? ~ Vespa asked the cyclops as he answered while trying to stand a bit straighter by his post.

~ It sounds….hollow, I saw something of an ice work to it, and it did not seem to mind that I did. ~

~ Ice? ~ Vespa snorted. ~ This is a void of the south, not the north. They cannot –

~ Captain! ~ A being known as a reaper came through the tunnels, a scroll in its grip as Vespa beckoned the scout and messenger to bring it close.

~We must go. ~

~ I cannot leave the –

~ I will not say it twice. ~ Vespa eyed the cyclops with her violet eyes as serious as they had seen of Lord Cronos before her.

~ It's happening now. The world is collapsing. We MUST open the gates to the Eternal realm. Now! ~

/

The Celestial council had gathered the day a maiden by the shallow end had seen a sliver crack in the sky.

Right then, all of the foxes of the realm came to their safest room and spoke among the spirits for an answer.

~ The balance is tipped! ~ Freyja shouted to the council head, hoping her golden bows stuck to the horns of a rather arrogant white cloud dragon. Kay shut his ears and tried to think. The adults were fighting, yet Sayu….where was she with Solario?

/

The adults needed a way to distract their elders as Bao Shi, Ardeus, Tsani, Ron with Apollon and Sayu made sure to examine a second break by the traverse room…

To Earth.

~ Something is fixable, I hope…~ Tsani signed as Hakuro shook his head and walked in with a tray of tea to calm them all. ~ Did you bring the correct ingredients. ~ Bao Shi asked her pupil. Hakuro nodded, his brow sweating out of fear. ~ If we cannot discover the reason –

~ Have hope, brother. ~ Tsani smiled to her half sibling, his tears pushed by a long sleeve while Bao Shi went with reading her leaves.

Once the cup was set, they waited….

The porcelain fell from the daemon's hands, her eye looking in sheer horror at her predictions in a watery dredge of green and tan.

~ We….will be gone…~She hoarsely, spoke. ~ It, is the very end of fantasy…of the things imagined by man….can no one stop it from coming?...~

/

The band was loud in japan, yet in California; in Jump and New York where the new Titans were staying….

The shattering of their reality was not far behind.

/

The heroes crowded around the crevice that seemed to grow bigger and bigger all too slowly. Superman and Diana had Flash and Impulse scale the perimeter carefully, the crack so big that you could fall in.

Batman tossed in something to test the wormhole he'd imagined, yet it could not be….

The thing that emerged, was not human.

"Pull back!" Superman ordered his allies. "This vortex is connected to another universe! We have to warn the people."

"Was that a wyvern, dude? Totes Crash!"

Wally groaned and dragged Bart by the arm before more creatures of the past and pure fiction could widen the intense gap between dimensions.

"What kinda hocus pocus is this??" GL yelled to Manhunter over the call of a herd of large mastodon.

"I think I might have your answer." Bruce commed to the high flying Hal.

"Where's Dick?"

/

Dick and Kori had flewn to see Aiden in NY that week. Their stay was actually ok. He'd even gotten a fold out couch to have for….his newest visitor the artist's flat.

"Photos every place you search…." Kori sighed, thinking Aiden would never have put down his training had the world not nearly ended half a dozen times ago.

"I think he needs this." Dick admired the photograph in sepia tones of a girl with a crying face who had just dropped her ice cream cone.

"Did he not compete, or is –

"Hey, sorry I made you guys wait on me."

Dick and Kori raised their heads to the doorway as not one person, but Two more stepped into Aiden's somewhat cozy studio.

"Is that…" Dick had to smile at whom it was Aiden had come to bring for their lunch date.

"Mr. and Mrs. Grayson! It's been a super long time, huh?"

"Lisa!" Kori gasped. "You were in the biggest apple this entire time? Why did you –

"We took a break, and Aiden wants to start things slowly back up. I mean, he's my neighbor while the band is working on a new album."

"Don't forget about me, senora Kori."

Dick laughed and waved to Toby before the man gave both a big hug. "Our family is never "the rekmas." Kori beamed as Aiden's cheeks turned a little redder. "A – any….way…..let's –

A quake started while bringing Dick's unit to beep, Lisa clinging to Aiden and Kori vice verse as Richard took the call with a worried expression.

~ Dick. We have an interdimensional crisis in almost every city globally. You need to report to base, we are going to be in need of all of the Titans to maintain order. I was informed by Verra that this may be happening due to the close link between our worlds… breaking apart…~

/

Soooo! Next are more global reports and Ami falls in the middle of finding out about the catastrophe between realms. Find out! Read on, and stay curious!
