A/N: Hey, be sure to read the chapter before this. I'm posting two chapters today.
In the living room, Beast Boy, Robin and Cyborg were enjoying some pizza rather sloppily as they chewed with their mouths open, let crumbs and bits of cheese fall out, and had a conversation all at once.
"Yeah! Did you guys see that sporting event last night?!" The green teen yelled.
"You know it! My team scored all the points!" Cyborg held up his arms like a football goal post.
"Hey hey, what about that race car we saw yesterday, huh? It was all like..." The Boy Wonder then imitated the noise of sports car before Beast Boy interrupted him.
"No, bro! It was like..." Beast Boy then imitated the noise of a monster truck. They all laughed until the cybernetic titan shushed at them.
"Guys wait, shushshsh." After waiting a full second, he then just burped.
"Oh ho, man! That one stuck!" The shapeshifter laughed. Meanwhile, the girls were watching all this, and were not amused.
"What a bunch of boys." Jinx shook her head while sipping some coffee.
"This is so annoying." Raven agreed. When a pizza smacked into Starfire's head and she had to peel it off, the princess warrior groaned.
"Ooooo, they are giving me the aches of the head."
"Oh man, we're just acting like total men right now, and I love it!" Robin proclaimed. Then they all started to chant one word.
"Men, men, men, me-"
"Shut up guys!" Jinx yelled at them. "All your testosterone and masculinity is seriously annoying us!"
"Oh, I'm sorry, but were we celebrating too much with how awesome our lives are because we're manning it up?" Beast Boy asked smugly.
"What?" Raven asked, offended. "Who says that men have more awesome lives than women? Starfire's going to be queen of Tamaran where her society is a warrior race. How is that not awesome?" Robin nodded before countering,
"Yes, that is awesome I'll admit, but let me ask you, instead of holding either an election or at the very least a gladiator style tournament to determine the most capable and strongest Tamaran, she gave the crown to her...whatever the word is, Galfore. Sure she probably would've done the same if Galfore was a female but she assigned the throne to her male guardian to rule."
"Robin, I ask of you to stop. You are making me angry." Starfire warned with glowing eyes, making him cower behind Cyborg.
"Yeah and, on another topic, aren't some of the most famous superheroines just inspired from men or closely associated?" Cyborg asked. "There's Supergirl, Batgirl having no originality in their names, and one of Raven's known names is "The daughter of Trigon". If you think about it men always does incredible things before women."
"Only because you 'men'..." Jinx hissed that word out. "...oppressed women and never let us do anything until the past few decades, regardless of exceptions like Cleopatra and Katrina the Terrible. I've seen orphans like me back in India when I was a kid treated with more respect and jobs because they were boys while they wanted me dead. If I had to choose a female idol, it'd be Wonder Woman. She came to her own with no male help and stand among the greats thanks to her Amazon heritage and training. She's even better than most of you hero boys."
"Alright, enough of this pointless squabbling." Raven tried to calm the feud down. "It's obvious we're not going to reach an agreement by debate. The only way to settle this is with a contest between the Teen Titans. All of the Teen Titans, including The Team, boys vs girls. Preferably teenagers only since adults have more unlocked potential than us."
"Hmm, alright. Very well then." Robin accepted. "How about we make a wager? If we win, all you girls must play water balloon tag with only tank tops and hot pants."
"Of course you boys would want an all out sexy girl fight." Jinx rolled her eyes. "Alright, but if we win, then you have to do one of the most agonizing things any human of recent history can possibly do...watch the entire series of Bernard the Dinosaur." The boys gasped in horror, and even Raven's eyes widened open at that.
"You wouldn't." The titan leader bluffed.
"Am I the kind of person that doesn't follow through with threats?" Jinx giggled.
"Uh, okay then." Robin gulped. "Well, let's get this thing ready."
Two superheroes just went live on a news channel, and surprisingly, they were Superman and Wonder Woman! They stood on the outdoor training ground of the Titan's Tower.
"Hello Jump City, and presumably the world once it reaches everywhere, it's me, Superman."
"And I'm Wonder Woman. Now, I'm sure you've heard of the contest phrase Battle of the Sexes. You're either familiar to a family friendly board game about it, or a Survivor style show. But here we have the case where two superhero teams are participating to see which sex amongst the teenagers are superior. As you see, we have the collected gathering of a couple dozen of teenagers who will show who has the best stuff in 12 categories different categories."
"However, even if one is a Titan, or otherwise, some have opted out because they don't feel like they belong in strictly either. Take these two for example." Superman went to a couple of nature themed beings. "Tell us, who are you and why have you not participated?"
"Who are we? We're Lightning and Thunder." The lean yellow teen answered in a way that he should've already known. "We think it'd be more fun just to watch since this seems like just work to flex for us. Besides, we already know we're awesome. I mean, forces of nature, hellooooo."
"Come on, be modest." Thunder nudged his smaller brother, whom grumbled.
"Fine, and despite having male characteristics we technically aren't male. You don't exactly fit when you're a spirit of literally lightning and thundering sound personified."
"And there are more such as a girl and a...literal Neanderthal, who requested not to be named and shown as to not be targeted by the girl's past." Cut to a dark room with a Teen Titan shrouded in darkness to preserve her identity.
"I could never face off with my best friend. We both have had bad experiences with the world, and we completely depend on each other. And while being part of a superhero group is cool and fun, it's just too much of a risk once this is all over since they could come after me and my friends repeatedly." Cut back to Wonder Woman.
"How sad and yet noble. But while a few titans choose to not participate, some of them aren't even teens yet. Like this adorable little team called the Tween Titans. The camera looked to see the five kids who were also invited. "You're already well known in Jump City, but would you care to tell the world who you are?" Steve-O-Size coughed before answering,
"Well, we're the Tween Titans and-" He was pushed out of the way by Lively Lizzy.
"Hello everyone! Wow, I'm on TV! This is so exciting! It's so cool being on TV with Wonder Woman! She's my hero!" She went to hug the adult heroine who laughed.
"Aww, thank you. Perhaps we can get exclusives from you later. Superman, what will this contest consist of?"
"Well, it's come down to twelve categories that will show how each gender will perform. Whoever gets the most tally marks wins the contest. There's even a bet on who loses. The girls get into a water balloon fight in tank tops and shorts, while the boys watch..." The Man of Steel shuddered before saying, "...Bernard the Dinosaur. Moving from that, here's a list of names ofJustice League members who support the boys..." Aquaman, Batman, Black Lightning, Bloodwynd, Blue Beetle 1, Booster Gold, B'wana Beast, Doctor Fate, Elongated Man, Firestorm, Green Arrow, Green Lantern, Guy Gardner, Hawkman, John Constantine, Martian Manhunter, Plastic Man, Superman, The Atom, The Flash, The Question. "...And members who support the girls." Batwoman, Black Canary, Fire, Gypsy, Hawkwoman, Huntress, Ice, Jessica Cruz, Power Girl, Star Girl, Super Girl, Vixen, Wonder Woman, Zatanna. "We even have a side bet of our own that each hero puts their own money into it and whichever gender wins will donate the money into the charity of their choice. Huh, what's that? Oh, it's the contest is about to start. Which of these teens will bring in the win? Let's find out.
Robin stepped up to a podium with prepared papers over a crowd of teenagers in chairs.
"Greetings Titans. You already know why you're here so I won't bore you with the obvious. But I will tell you how this is going to go. We'll each take turns through a series of challenges, and see which titan best performs. The first challenge is lifting strength." From behind him, a sort of hydraulic press came up through the ground opening up. An electronic screen opened showed how much pressure it will show at a given moment. "For those of you who aren't confident in your strength, remain seated. Those of you that are, stand up and line up." Once all of strength based heroes came up, Robin went first, which seemed odd until he explained, "For all of these, I will be referred to as the control base variable. Since I was trained by Batman and am at the pinnacle of a young adult under 20, I will set a basic benchmark to show how much a human can do." Raising his hands up, the weight then pressed down and five pounds was added per second.
Now, at the current weight range of 800 pounds or lower, it will go up every 300 pounds per minute. And for those reaching their limit, once the press notices it has lowered by a foot, then it will stop and your test is over." As they waited patiently, 2 minutes and 20 seconds later when the Boy Wonder was struggling, and the press was going down until an alarm blared, and the machine stopped. 880 pounds. Back in the Batcave where Gotham's vigilante watched, just for the parts where Robin is displaying, Batman nodded in approval. "Ugh, now, let's have Pantha go up next." Robin groaned as he moved out of the way so that the Mexican wrestler titan went next. The machine reset back to zero, and by the time it reached 800 pounds, she maintained a composed posture and attitude. But when it started reaching over that though, the rate of weight addition increased.
Once someone reaches over 800 pounds, now the weight addition is 600 pounds per minute, so that for those with enhanced strength we don't have to wait so long." And the Boy Wonder was right, as once Pantha reached 2 tons one minute forty seconds later, the woman was greatly struggling not to give in, only for the press to have pushed down enough to blare and stop. Steve-O-Size also clocked out at 2 tons and Miss Martian. When Insectiva went up, she laid down on her back since her legs is where most of her strength is. The height and lowering limit had to be adjusted accordingly. By the time the press managed to start pressing down her legs and became disqualified, the insectoid girl lasted for 5 over minutes past the 800 pound mark. "Alright, now that we're likely to surpass 5 tons now, the rate will reach into 1500 pounds per minute." And it just kept going from there, by leaps and bounds. Cyborg won next at 18 tons but by 20 tons they reached a rate of 1 ton per second, where Jaimie Reyes Blue Beetle reached 55 tons, Red Star, Wonder Girl and Super Boy each topped in the lower 60's respectively and Beast Boy beat them all at 68 tons by using the strength proportional power of the dung beetle, including sprouting beetle limbs for leg support. By the time Starfire went up, she blew all the other boys away by keeping the thing up before giving out at just over 100 tons. But nobody, nobody could've predicted that when Raven came up and requested they slowly, yet exponentially increase the weight up to 500 tons per second due to the sorceress using her soul-self as means of lifting it than her arms, Raven was able to last about 30 seconds as she gave out at 5,800 tons. First point to the girls!
"Wow. That was incredible. Raven sure has a lot of power within herself to be able lift presumably a multi-story building, but there's more to strength than just hitting. You've actually got to be able to strike hard as well. Which is why Cyborg also made this machine." Replacing the hydraulic press was a punching machine, right in front of a weight counter that looked like it was as big and heavy as a tanks somewhere over 50 tons, considering the competition. Robin went up to it. Taking a martial stance as he prepared to strike, he did the following: the titan leader took a deep breath in, his muscles tensed, gave a mighty cry, and punched with all the might his entire body could give. The punching mechanism barely moved, but a screen registered a force of 775 pounds force. The Boy Wonder grinned to himself. He may not have beaten that Oswald whathisname back in the Gotham Acadamy with that much force, but even half of that was certainly more than a pompous teen with barely of the intense training he went through could withstand for very long. "Now, if anyone would like to beat that, step forth. If you need to run or fly, then that's permitted."
Not everyone could beat that, whether with a running start or standing still, some like the Titans Aqualad, Steve-O-Size and Miss Martian were only able to get around 500 pounds. Beast Boy and Insectiva were tied at around 5 tons by kicking the machine with flea legs, although that caused them to be kicked off the Titan island by their own kicks, so they had to be caught and flown back. Cyborg, Kid Flash and Pantha beat them by double. Wonder Girl and Starfire were at around 40 tons and 44 tons respectively with flying strikes. Blue Beetle and Superboy beat them however with strikes reaching 50 tons and 63 tons. These kind of forces were starting to move the machine back, and Raven used her soul-self to reach the high score of 70 tons, making it move back by several meters. Once Red Star walked up however, all he had to do was let his arms glow with power, and punch with enough force to obliterate the machine and off the island into the ocean.
"Heh, did I win?" The Russian titan chuckled.
"Uh, yes." Robin answered with wide eyes. "So uh, yeah. The next category is movement speed. Now unlike most of these categories, I won't do this one because, well some of you can break the sound barrier, so I'll just have those of you that can break the speed of sound line up so that you can race. Once Mas y Menos, Raven, Starfire and Kid Flash got ready, Robin started to explain again. "Alright, each of you have been given special speedometers which don't record mph, but Mach. Try to go 'slow' for a few seconds before trying to break a new Mach on them. On your mark, get set...GO!" Robin shot his blank gun, resulting in most of the speedsters gone, while Raven once again used her soul-self to race along with them. By the time they heard the sonic boom, the real race started. Unfortunately for the Spanish speaking siblings, their run was short as they were being outran at Mach 7. And Raven handled it a bit better, but was also beaten at Mach 36 as her Soul-Self retreated back to her. Now it was just Star and Kid Flash as they kept going faster and faster until they clocked out the speedometers at Mach 300.
"Hey, how about we stop going at a snail's pace and try to see how quickly we can top off?" Kid Flash suggested.
"Very well." The Tamaranean agreed, and they put on a burst of speed as both went from 1 Mach per second faster to over 1000 Mach per second. Soon, they were breaching relativistic speeds, or over 1% the speed of light and fast. It didn't take long before John Stewart Green Lantern came around.
"Oh, hey GL! How's it going?!" Kid Flash called out.
"You're going too fast for Earth's atmosphere. Circling the globe every couple of seconds at this point. Soon you'll be leaving a trail of nuclear bomb explosions in your wake. I've been sent to see if you can go even faster or if you need to stop.
"I wish to go the faster please!" Starfire replied.
"Yeah, same here!"
"Alright. Get ready." Surrounding Kid Flash in green light so he can breath, he then created a green pathway for the young speedster to run on, and thus the two quickly left the atmosphere of the Earth where they could really go all out. However, as they approached light speed, Kid Flash was surprisingly falling behind ever so slightly. He started sweating, his breathing started to become heavy, and Star didn't even look like she was breaking a sweat. At just over the speed of light, KF tripped and would've fell if it weren't for the path disappearing from underneath him.
"Huh. I was kind of pegging you'd beat her easily given that you're...you know...Kid Flash? You should be the fastest kid on Earth, right?" Green Lantern asked with confusion and a raised eyebrow.
"I will admit Kid Flash is the fastest human, but even the slowest of Tamarans can fly just as fast as he."
"Ugh, I'm never going to live this down with Flash." KF sweated in worry.
"In fact, let me show you how fast I can really fly. Which way is the star of Vega?" Getting an idea of what she's talking about, but almost couldn't believe the implication, he let the ring point it out, and so they flew to the Vega system. What would've taken light 25 years to reach, Starfire and John reached in 35 seconds.
"Doesn't my home planet look beautiful from up here?" But the two others heroes were stupefied by what they just witnessed. Star wasn't just going faster than light, she was going massively so. According to the ring, they went over 21 million times faster in fact. And it looked like Star still wasn't even winded from the effort, meaning she could go faster still, or at least maintain that speed for much longer. "Shall we head back?"
"Uh, yeah." John uttered. Once they returned to Earth, everyone was stumped by the ridiculously sheer high amount of speed that was witnessed, causing Superman's eyes to widen and Flash to whistle.
"Star, you're so amazing." Robin told her once she went to him and they kissed before he went back to business. "Alright. Starfire won movement speed, by quite a massive gap at that. I'd imagine she wins reaction speed as well because hey, if she can travel that fast, then she must be able to safely dodge inhabited planets and moons without ploughing right through them. Next is endurance, in which-" Kid Flash went to the titan leader, whispered in his ear, and walked away to get something to eat. "Oh, okay. We're skipping the endurance test because even though Kid Flash failed the speed test, his stamina at typical running speed for him is near infinite thanks to the Speed Force, though he does need to eat to keep the energy up. So that's 2 for boys and three for girls." Once they passed through the durability test, as in withstanding an amount of force without seriously hurting anyone, Starfire was yet again the winner as she could block one of Superman's punches, which he states are becoming to have physical forces equal to thermonuclear bombs in the lower single digit Megatons. Though Red Star did give the Tamaranean a high bar to set since he always survives his explosions, and the highest he's been recorded at was around 100 kilotons. Next was who had the best martial skill. Robin was able to win against the majority, and even won against a formidable Aqualad, but even his masterful expertise in fighting couldn't compare to Starfire's own in conjunction to her inherent strength and durability. For as long as he lasted, he just couldn't handle even her restrained strength and nuclear levels of endurance. Out of all the titans, it was with the combined martial mastery, along with overall superior strength and durability, of Starfire and Wonder Girl to take the win, since they both reached each other instead of facing a guy at the end. When it came to the jumping category, it was measured by lights beside the tower to turn on to show how high one can jump. Robin could jump a respectable 10 feet with Cyborg and Red Star beating him at 15. Steve-O-Size, thanks to his increased height and strength could jump double that, though Starfire and Miss Martian beat him by jumping 50 feet. But they were outdone by Superboy by a wide margin as he nearly jumped ten times higher than the alien girls. Since they both were using the same power, Beast Boy and Insectiva volunteered to jump at the same time.
"May the best jumper win." The shapeshifter said to the tween as he shook his legs before morphing them into that of a flea's, just like Devrie's. She nodded in appreciation.
"Ready...set...jump!" Robin gave the order. Both jumped, and for most of the way held at the same rising altitude as they surpassed Superboy's record by a few hundred more. Devrie started to slow, and soon reached her peak...only to watch Beast Boy surpass her 75 feet, even managing to press a hand against a part of the horizontal part of the T shape tower.
"Yeah! Go Beast Boy!" All of the guys cheered. Once Beast Boy landed and bounced on the ground before reverting his legs back to normal, he noticed how Devrie seemed down as she was bent down with her backwards legs folded, hugging herself close. He stooped down and placed a hand on her shoulder.
"Hey Insectiva, no need to feel bad. I think I just had more height and bigger legs with more power on my side. But I think that if you gain a few inches and worked out those legs, you could jump over the Empire State Building." He encouraged her. She looked into his face, said face reflected back by her eyes, and nodded. The rest of the Tween Titans came to her.
"Aw man, I wanted you to win Insectiva!" Lively Lizzy said, wanting to be supportive.
"You reached super high as always! I never get used to you jumping your max!" Steve-O-Size added.
"Be proud in yourself. I am." Softie uttered. Bubboom didn't say anything, but she could see what he would say in his eyes. Insectiva stood up and went to get in a group hug with them, with the more emotional titans awwwing at the display. The next round was agility, and considering that no one else was a acrobatic gymnast, the next best thing: tennis. But unlike a regular game of tennis, this one involved acrobatics as a mandatory, and when it came down to Robin v Jinx, it was the most impressive display of both human level reactions and maneuverability allowing them to maintain a 0-0 score for over half an hour, surpassing the legendary 29 minute long rally round of Vicki Nelson and Jean Hepner. But even with their seemingly equal levels of both agility and endurance being able to keep at pace with each other with flips twirls and volleys from every angle, it was ultimately Jinx who fell due to never having to move acrobatically for such a long time while Robin, while seriously winded and a bit sore from the constant exertion, wasn't doing too bad as he remained standing while the pink haired witch laid down on her back, panting and sweating profusely. Robin came to her and offered a hand. Jinx both groaned and smiled as she took it and tried to stand up, only for her legs to give out and she plopped onto the titan leader.
"Ugh, dang it. You're not the one I'm supposed to fall into like this." The former villainess complained. Robin looked up from her, and smiled.
"Then how about him?" Pushing her off, she yelped before landing in the arms of Cyborg, who winked at her. She blushed in response.
"Well, this is better, but I'm still going to get you back for this embarrassment." She mischievously told the titan leader. "But for now...Cy? Please carry me somewhere where I can rest? My body is aching all over. Also fetch me some water?" The cybernetic titan chuckled at her reference.
"As you wish." Once both titans were back in stable condition after a good rest, it was onto Intelligence with a 15 question test covering subjects the some of titans know. Technology, mathematics, biology, physics and logic. They only had a minute to answer each question right or wrong. Robin won again as he was the only one to answer all 15 right, but finished his in the fastest time as well. Again, Batman nodded in approval. In the next category was a lot of accurate titans as well, able to hit a moving target at an increasing distance with Robin, Cyborg, Aqualad, Starfire, Raven, Wonder Girl and Miss Martian. But in the end, it came down to Red Arrow and Artemis as they were shooting perfect bullseyes up to over 900 feet. Once they were at 1000 feet and restocked to a 20 full load, Red Arrow chuckled.
"You've certainly got some game, but prepare to eat your heart out Goldie Locks."
"Hmph, keep dreaming Short Shaft." She remarked. The guys and some of the girls laughed while Red Arrow growled with irritation as they let the arrows fly. Even at 1000 feet they hit bullseye without fail with 18 of their arrows. With their 19th, Artemis got a little more creative, and when they both fired, she did so just a little bit to the left so that it flew into Red Arrow's, and ricochet into her target's bullseye. It seemed like she won, but the crimson archer was having none of it.
"Oh, so we're going to cheat now? Alright then, let me show you something only a true archer and do." To everyone's surprise, except Artemis, the boy pulled the arrow and string back with his teeth, not his other arm. Letting go, he managed to get another bullseye. The guys cheered while his opponent smirked.
"Cute. Pay attention boys, this is going to blow your minds." Removing her boots, she stunned everyone present by standing on her hands, and nabbed the final bullseye by using her feet to shoot the arrow, bending back in a way that made her seem like a contortionist. The girls cheered as they have never seen anything so amazing with such skill. In the gluttony challenge, even though Beast Boy technically cheated by turning into a Blue-er, Green Whale and ate over a ton of prepared food, Steve-O-Size was the legitimate winner by being able to eat a whole 16 pounds of food thanks to his size shifting ability. Not even Starfire could eat that much so fast and not feel nauseas. And she tried to the best of her ability.
"And with that, all the categories have been said and done." Superman said, having found the whole thing interesting.
"Indeed. Let us see which gender has won." Wonder Woman replied as they listened in to
"So Robin, which gender won?" Beast Boy asked his leader.
"Uh let's see here. Guys have won striking strength, endurance, jumping, agility, IQ and gluttony. Girls have won lifting strength, both movement and reaction speed, durability, martial arts, and accuracy. So...it's a tie?!"
"A tie? Interesting." The Man of Steel noted, watching all of the teen titans get into an argument about either a recount, or coming up with a new category.
"So is this going to be how it always ends? That neither gender is superior even though they have quite a diverse cast?" The Amazonian woman asked. But before things got to heated which could've lead to a fight, Miss Martian enlarged her hand and smashed it into the ground in between the two groups, cutting off the argument.
"Guys, guys!" She yelled while morphing her finger back to normal. "We tied. There's no need to fight over it. In fact, does it even matter? Some of us aren't even strictly male or female. Sure, I'm biologically female..." The Martian then transformed into Superboy. "...but I can transform into male as well. And not just that..." She then reverted back into herself. "I may not even be the same kind of female that Earth does. We may not look like it but Martians are much more alien looking, only looking humanoid due to our ability to shapeshift." Miss Martian then turned to Beast Boy. "Beast Boy, can't you transform into animals that shapeshift genders as well?"
"Sure. Bearded dragons, clown fish, banana slugs, garter snakes and frogs. In fact..." Testing out his ability, Beast Boy transformed into a cow, which is female exclusive. "Whoa, I didn't know I could transform into a cow! I always went bull!"
"So, does that mean Beast Boy is technically transgender when he transforms if he wished so?" Cyborg pondered.
"Seems like it." Raven shrugged. "If Beast Boy stayed as a clown fish long enough, he might even revert into a human girl."
"Whoa. Mind blown dudes." The green shapeshifter said, eyes wide open.
"And for that matter...Lightning, Thunder." The young Martian called out to the two forces of nature, whom were surprised at being called out. "Why didn't you participate?"
"Well, it didn't look like a lot of fun to do so we didn't want to do it." Thunder shrugged.
"And we technically don't have genders. We're forces of nature personified with male characteristics." Lightning added.
"And would you, Lightning, say that you could win the speed challenges?"
"Well, maybe not speed because Starfire makes light seem like a sloth in comparison, but I'd definitely win the agility tennis thing at least. As agile Robin is, I wouldn't be able to be blindsided by any of his serves."
"Well then, let's make it interesting. Why not make a new category where it's not strictly boys vs girls." Miss Martian suggested.
"You mean...a LGBT team?" Robin asked.
"If that's the right way to say, then yes. Let's see the LGBT group can win."
"What an interesting turn of events." Wonder Woman marveled. "I can certainly support this group. Trying to limit the parameters of gender just seems silly now that I think of it."
Going through the challenges again, this time it was Miss Martians' and Lightning's turn to tip the scales. Getting out the hydraulic press again, it was Miss Martian's turn again to keep the press up, but just like she thought outside the box of gender conventions, she also threw the orthodox way out of the window by shapeshifting her body to take up much more space before changing her density as high as she could hold it. Before, the Martian could only support about a ton even with telekinetically enhanced durability due to underestimating the weight of the press and her smaller, comparatively more frail size in comparison to the press putting her at an initial disadvantage. But using her powers to full use here, not only was she holding out, but her greater size added with said durability let her surpass Raven's high score and reach a limit of ten thousand tons! She also won the score in durability by somewhat cheating. Technically Superman was punching the Martian with more force than Starfire was enduring, but Miss Martian allowed her to be malleable so that he punches just sunk into her body, and her healing allowed the girl to not suffer anymore than aches and a headache from tanking hits equal to hydrogen bombs. Once they were at jumping, Lightning used his power to charge up, and blasted off the ground, not only surpassing Beast Boy's height, but even jumping higher than the tower itself, going over 1000 feet high! And as he boasted, his lightning fast agility was able to allow him to maintain dominance as he whittled Robin down until he fell to the honorary titan. He even won with the accuracy test since despite Artemis was way more skilled and impressive, he beat her by distance as he struck the target in general from the island to the mainland of Jump City Port 2 miles away. He even blew at his fingers before smirking at the gaping titans. Finally, at the glutton challenge, while she didn't see herself as a big eater, this time Miss Martian took the challenge as she used her own shapeshifting abilities to eat 20 pounds of food, four pounds more than Steve-O-Size, and tying the score again. But that was where the Martian said,
"Okay, that'll be enough."
"Huh? But why?" Robin asked confused.
"Well, we could win more categories, but instead of rendering the two as inferior, we just showed one doesn't have to be a boy or girl to win, even when tying. I'm either transgender or non-binary while Lightning is definitely non-binary. Putting labels on genders are meaningless. We're all titans, we're all humans, metahumans, aliens or otherwise. We have our strengths, our weaknesses, and the support we need for when we need it." The atmosphere was silent for a bit before she progressively started getting claps and praises for pushing the agenda that not only do gender competitions not only matter, but even those not following typical gender roles can be just as good.
"Well I'll be. What a true case of progressiveness. Say Wonder Woman, perhaps we forget about who wins the side bet and just give it to who needs it most?" She smiled.
"That sounds like a good idea."
A/N: Whoo. Hey, since Eris seems to have gone for a bit, and I don't know when he'll be back, I think I'll take a break from both of my Teen Titan stories. Finish my new Pokemon stories. But while I'm talking about it, I'm going to put out for Eris how the episodes of Crazy Day, Real Boy Adventures, Truth justice and what?, Video game references, Cool School, Kicking a ball and pretending to be hurt, Yearbook Madness and Campfire stories.
As for my own suggestions to each episode before season 3, Crazy Day could instead be about the titans experiencing something from Larry visiting again for the day or something involving Weird Al like silliness. I don't know. Real Boy Adventures could be about Cyborg requesting Raven to be human so he can enjoy at least one normal date with Jinx.
As for the Teen Titans and TNMT crossover, it could start with the titans fighting the Hive Five, but this time they've been mutated. Finding ooze in their blood and DNA, they go to New York, talk to the turtles and figure out that Brother Blood made a deal with Shredder. You can use the Batman vs TMNT movie for inspiration if needed.
As for video game references, I actually have nothing to suggest. That's one of the episodes I absolutely love. If no fixing plot is made for it, I'll be completely satisfied with that. Kicking a ball could, instead of soccer trolls, be a mind control device inside each ball by Mad Mod to try to begin a take over of replacing American football with soccer as the national sport. You already know about the Cool School thing back in the New Years chapter. Yearbook Madness could be a gathering of all the titans, minus Young Justice, where they participate in extracurricular activities like art, play in a band, robotics and other stuff. Add whatever you think would be fun.
Finally, Campfire stories could have the following of scary plots. Beast Boy could be about a shapeshifter losing control of his transforming ability and goes all giant Akira on the city. Starfire could talk about an alien bug plague in which they're small, only about a millimeter big, but they come in the hundreds of trillions and they eat all forms of meat. Cyborg could talk about a guy who was kidnapped turned into a machine frankenstein against his will. Robin could talk about a person who is a perfectionist and let's it go way too far. Jinx could talk about a witch who was burnt at the stake, and cursed the land to have perpetual bad luck and go insane from it. No changes for Raven. Hers is good as is. Fill in details of those scary stories that you think will make them really scary.
Well, that should do it for season two of fixing Teen Titans go. Eris, for each of the chapters I've suggested you should put them each in separate reviews. Thank you all for reading more than 200,000 words of my story, and I can't wait to resume it when I either complete my Pokemon stories, or Eris gives his reviews. Thank you.
