Chapter 4

The Injustice characters and the JSA prepare to head out.

Flash dons a new suit, more plated but still red with yellow boots and the iconic lightning bolt on his chest.

Cyborg approaches Dick Grayson.

"So, listen, Dick... I know you're not from this Earth, but... it's so good to see you again," Cyborg says, trying to hold back tears in his one human eye.

"Hey, it's okay. Look, I may not be your Nightwing, but I understand," Dick reassures him.

"It's just... it's been hard after my Nightwing's death. The Titans split, and we've never seen each other since," Cyborg says, visibly saddened.

"Damn... I'm sorry to hear that. I know it's tough when friends part ways. I'll do my best to help you, Victor," Dick says, putting his hand on Cyborg's shoulder, offering support.

"Thank you, Nightwing... You have no idea how much it means to me to have a lost friend back, even in some form," Cyborg says, feeling more joyful.

Meanwhile, Jessie Quick and Flash are conversing.

"So, Flash, do I exist in this universe? Do you even know of me?" Jessie asks.

"Well, I do know she exists here, but we don't know each other well. After Superman and Batman split into different factions, I joined Superman, and she joined Batman and Lex," Flash responds.

"Oh... I see," Jessie says, a bit saddened.

"Yeah. I haven't seen her since, and I'm unsure if we're on good terms," Barry elaborates.

"Well, I hope I can help you two in any way."

"That would be much appreciated," Flash responds.

Just then, Nightwing gathers everyone, the Injustice League, and the New JSA.

"Okay, everyone, if we want to take out Brainiac and The Brain, we need backup, and I have it coming," Nightwing says confidently.

"Backup? What sort of backup?" Superman asks, interested.

A dark portal opens, causing everyone except Nightwing to take a defensive stance.

The Teen Titans exit the portal, seeing their leader.

"Guys! You all made it!" Dick exclaims, overjoyed.

"Whoa... The Titans... I never thought I'd see the day," Injustice Cyborg says, amazed.

"Whoa! The Justice League looks very different here! They even have Black Adam on their side," Beast Boy says, not realizing the gravity of his words.

"Wait?! What is Black Adam doing here!?" Beast Boy says as the Titans get defensive.

"Don't worry, guys, he is with us... for now," Nightwing says.

"Alright then... So, you must be this world's Cyborg, huh? Name's Cyborg," JSAverse Victor greets.

"Pleasure to meet you and the old team... It's been so long since I saw your faces," Injustice Victor says, having flashbacks to his Teen Titans.

"Whoa. Your armor is cool! More bulky and deadly! I love it!" Beast Boy admires the other version of his friend.

"Thanks... It means a lot hearing that from you..." Injustice Victor says, seeming sad again.

"What's wrong? Did we do something?" Starfire asks kindly.

"N-No. It's nothing," he responds, hiding something.

The Injustice League is familiar with the Titans, so the meeting is brief. Batman and Superman then explain the situation.

"Superman and I are trying to figure out a way to stop Brainiac. His ship has a force field that can't be destroyed. We found five generators powering it in Metropolis, Gotham, Atlantis, Egypt, and Central City. Our goal is to destroy the crystals powering them so we can get to Brainiac," Batman explains.

"Raven, Beast Boy, and Black Adam, you three go to Egypt.

Superman, Supergirl, and Superboy will go to Metropolis.

Wonder Woman, Wonder Girl, and Kyle will head to Atlantis.

Flash, Jessie Quick, Starfire, and Cyborgs, you all will head to Central City.

Lastly, Red Hood, Damian, Nightwing, and I will go to Gotham," Batman instructs.

"Wow, real mature, calling him Nightwing rather than your own son," Damian says rudely.

"Not the time," Bruce says sternly.

"Alright. Everyone ready?" Clark asks.

The heroes nod as they split up to the locations.

In Egypt, Raven, Beast Boy, and Adam are flying, looking for the Crystal.

"Ugh, I never thought I'd be teaming up with a supervillain. I'd rather go to a water park with Starfire. At least I don't trust him," Raven says, eyeing Black Adam with disgust.

"Ah, cheer up, Rave. Think of it like this: This is a rare time to team up with one. You know how powerful he is. He'll be a huge help!" Beast Boy says while in vulture form.

"Eh, that's one way to think of it."

A dark purple magic orb blasts Raven, sending her into a pyramid.

"RAVE!" Beast Boy yells, turning into a falcon and diving into the pyramid with Black Adam following.

"Are you okay!?" Beast Boy asks, rushing over and gently helping her up.

"Uhhhgggg. That hurt... But I'm fine."

"Whoever did this is going to pay. Come on, Raven, let's take on—"

Another Raven, the Injustice Raven, descends into the pyramid!

This Raven wears a dark purple hood and cape, black raven feathers over her shoulders. Her skin is dark pink, with leather straps over her arms and legs, and her dark purple one-piece has cloth hanging over her midsection.

"ANOTHER RAVEN!?" Beast Boy yells, surprised.

"This is my version of Rachel Roth. We used to work together in the Regime," Black Adam explains.

"Raven! Erm, other Raven, we don't have to fight," Beast Boy says, trying to avoid conflict.

"I don't think that's an option," a deep voice responds as a dark portal opens, with Trigon floating out!

The heroes and villain take defensive positions.

"I'll take on Trigon. You two help my Roth, okay?" Black Adam asks.

Our Raven looks surprised by his desire to be a good guy, but she and Beast Boy nod, heading into combat.

The two Titans rush and start fighting the Injustice Raven.

Our Rachel throws magic orbs, exploding on impact, as Beast Boy, in jaguar form, dashes around, swatting her.

"Other Rave! Snap out of it! It's me! Surely you have your own version of me!"

"NO! Beast Boy died! You're a fake!" Injustice Roth responds, blasting magic birds at him.

He jumps out of the way and turns back to normal.

"What!? What do you mean?"

Seeing Beast Boy in his normal form, she gets flashbacks to her version of the Teen Titans, bringing her to tears.

"I have made my decision! Trigon and I are going to take over Earth!" she says, clearly hurt and unsure.

"Look. You can make your own choices... I know it's hard, but you don't have to be a villain," our Raven says to help.

The other Raven looks shocked but still struggles with her choice.

Meanwhile, Black Adam and Trigon brawl using magic.

Trigon swings his fist, knocking Adam into a wall, then blasts him with dark magic, sending him through it.

Adam charges forward, blocking the magic and punching Trigon in the face a few times before blasting him with lightning.

"Sorry. This world is not ready for you to take over!" Adam says, blasting him with more lightning.

"HMP! I'm still more powerful than you!" Trigon yells, blasting him away with dark magic, hurting him badly.

He then looks over and sees the others.

"My daughter. Discard them. We don't need them. We don't need others in our way," Trigon says, fire in his eyes.

"She can make her own choices! She doesn't need to be a villain like you!" our Raven yells.

Trigon looks disappointed, seeing his daughter not fighting them.

"Fine. I'll do it myself," he says, blasting a stream of magic towards our Raven and Beast Boy. She creates a force field to block it but struggles to keep it up.

"You don't have to be the bad guy!" Beast Boy yells.

Finally, Injustice Raven opens a dark portal behind Trigon and starts sucking him in.

"WHAT!? NO! Rachel! My time will come... And when it does... I will show you no mercy," Trigon says as he's sucked back to his realm.

Injustice Raven looks saddened as she falls to her knees.

"It's okay. You did good and you helped us," Beast Boy says, putting his hand on her shoulder.

"I... can't believe you're alive, even if you're not my Beast Boy..." she says, on the verge of tears.

"It's okay... It's okay," he says as he and Raven hug her.

Black Adam, fully recovered, walks over.

"Rachel Roth... I'm sorry I haven't been there for you. After the Regime split, you had no one. I'm sorry, but will you join us in stopping this new threat?" Adam asks.

Injustice Raven nods slowly, "Y-yes. I will join you all."

"Glad to have you on our team!" Beast Boy says.

"But there's something I should tell you two," Injustice Raven says.

"What is it?" our Raven asks.

"The rest of the Titans... Kid Flash, Starfire... they're locked up in the Phantom Zone."

"What!? By who?" they ask.

"Kal-El... Superman..."
