Description
It was morning by the time the other Titans arrived. Robin and the others were standing outside the tower, waiting, as they saw the others approach. The first was Kid Flash, who they saw running across the water so fast that he made large wave behind him from the force. He eventually reached the Tower and came to a sudden stop fight in front of them."Kid Flash, reporting in." he said with a smile and unserious salute.
The waves that followed him crashed down on Beast Boy, drenching him and making him have to turn into a dog to shake it off and Cyborg and Starfire having a little giggle out of it.
"Nice to see you again, Kid." Robin said, shaking KF's hand.
"Would've been here sooner, but I needed to make sure Jynx was in good hands." He explained.
"I'm sure she'll be fine with Kole and the others." Robin said, before he and the others looked to see something else riding on the water.
It was T-Car, an extra one Cyborg had made for the Titans East. It was generally the same as the one the Titans had, with the exception of a large yellow E on the side doors. It was using the hover-mode to ride on the water as it finally approached. It landed on the shore and changed its wheels back to land use. Once it parked a few feet in front of them, Speedy stepped out of the car. As he did Aqualad, who had swam all the way over, emerged from the water and walked up to the others along with his teammate.
"Aqua-dude!" BB said, walking up to him and bumping fists together.
"B-Man." He said back. "Looking good."
"Always." BB joked.
Speedy walked up and was greeted by Cyborg first, who said. "Speedy. Good to see the spare T-Car I made is working out for you."
"And she runs like a beauty." Speedy said. "Tried making one of our own from scrap...but the twins went a little overboard and turned it into a fancy pile of garbage."
Starfire went flying over, to both Speedy and Aqualad, hugging them tightly while saying "Friends! It is such a relief to see you all safe!"
They both groaned as her super strength almost got the better of her while she hugged them.
Once she let go, both rubbed their backs while Aqualad said "Yeah...you too, Star..ow."
Robin looked over the arrivals and said "Glad you could all make it. How are the others?"
"The twins managed to get Bee up to the North." Aqualad began. "Went with your suggestion and had them stay as back up. I put out a call to Tram too. Hopefully some Atlantian medicine might help."
"Good. Then let's get started." He said before walking off.
With that all the other Titans followed him back to the Tower.
********************
Some time went by as the original Titans told the others about what happened to them. They recounted their battle with each other and then the reveal of Clayface and Scarecrow. They were all sitting in the main room by this point. Raven, Aqualad , Beast Boy, Starfire and Speedy sat on the couch, in that order, while Kid Flash stood behind them. Robin and Cyborg were standing in front giving most of the explanation, with help from the others from time-to-time.
Cyborg showed all of them a small vial of yellow liquid, saying "I pulled this from the venting systems. Scarecrow managed to pump all the fear toxin in it throughout the tower."
"And Clayface made it seem more real when he pretended to be everyone in." Robin added."And then it was just a matter of getting us together to try and makes us kill each other."
"Pretty heavy stuff." KF said. "But how come when you got hit," he indicated Robin, "how come you didn't see anything weird?"
"I didn't breath in enough of it." He said. "I've dealt with this stuff enough times to know when to hold my breath at just whiff of it. But the fact that I saw Slade, and not something else, makes things weirder."
"Well what exactly were you expecting to see after getting hit with Fear Gas?" BB asked. "Loss of hair gel? Too small a utility belt? Control Freak in a G-string?" he thought on this and said "Ewww. Now that's scary."
Robin only cast his head down and narrowed his eyes. "Just....something else."
Seeing this, some of the other glanced questioned looks at each other.
"Maybe we should try and focus on the bigger picture." Raven suggested.
"Yes." Starfire said. "Please, friends." She looked to the others "tell us what enemies tried to best you?"
"Well," KF said, deciding to go first. "Jynx and I were doing a little patrol work in my town when we got attacked by your old buddy, Cinderblock, and a blue lady with ice powers."
"Cinderblock?" Cyborg said, knowing who he had described.
"And some new lady friend." Robin added. He started rubbing his chin, before saying "That's sounds familiar for some reason. What about you guys?" he asked Speedy and Aqualad.
"Well we got attacked at out tower." Speedy said.
Aqualad continued by saying "Some giant woman and some Australian guy came out of nowhere and started pummeling us."
"Um..." KF began "..quick question: did set guy use boomerangs?"
"Yeah he did." Speedy said. "Pretty good with them too. They were just as tricked out as my arrows."
"A friend of yours?" BB asked
"Not exactly." KF said before zipping over to the desktop and pulling up criminal files. He eventually reached the one he wanted and it appeared before the others, as he said "Should've known."
The picture showed a man wearing a long blue coat and matching shirt. He wore dark pants and dark gloves over his hands to match. He even had a large belt strapped over one should and under another. On it, both of his gloves, his boots and even on his hat, were a number of white boomerangs.
"Captain Boomerang." KF said.
Suddenly Beast Boy started laughing while saying "Seriously? So bad guy runs around with a names like that now?"
"I wouldn't laugh about him so much, if I were you." KF said. "He might look goofy, but I've had some pretty bad runs ins with the guy myself. He's not so silly in real life."
"Yeah." Speedy said. "Guy packed enough of a punch."
"Hang on a sec." Robin said as he went over and started pulling up files.
One was of the giant lady they had mentioned, who had short red hair and wore a skin-tight costume with leopard-skin patterning on it. The second was of the one blue skinned woman who Kid Flash recognized. Her costume was a one-piece, dark blue, leotard with arm-length gloves with fur attached at both ends. She wore matching knee-high boots as well. Her skin was a pale blue with her hair was long and white.
"Giganta and Killer Frost." Robin said, seeing them now.
"And given from the look of these records," Cyborg began to add, pointing at the information that came up " all three of these guys are some pretty big leaguers."
"Same goes for Scarecrow and Clayface." Raven added. "Making this bigger than we thought."
"I still believe it to be the Brotherhood of Evil." Starfire said. "Perhaps they have brought these new rouges together in order to strengthen their forces."
"We were starting to think it might be them too." Aqualad said.
"But that's the weird thing." Cyborg began. "I've checked in with all the other Titans and they haven't seen or heard a thing."
"Then there's something else going on here." Raven
"Dudes," BB suddenly said "what if it's some evil alien pod-people race that wants to come to earth and replace us all with evil copies? And they're using the villains first just to see how it works?" He looked to see all of them give him awkward looks before he gave an awkward giggle and said "Or it could be something else. Hehehe."
"I still think Beast Boy's got the right idea." Robin said. "We need to find out who's behind all of this."
"Then you might want some help on that." A voice from behind all of them said.
All looked to see three figures standing in the doorway. The one in the middle, and the one who spoke, came into the light first. It was a girl, with a dark grey suit and a blue mask that attached to a cape. Her long red hair hung out from the back of it. On her hands and legs were matching gloves and boots ,around her waist was a yellow utility belt, and on her chest was a yellow symbol of a Bat.
"Batgirl?" Robin said, half surprised.
"Robin!" she yelped with joy running over to him.
He ran over to her ad the two met in the middle of the room, hugging each other tightly on contact. Starfire gave a somewhat concerned look seeing this, but tried to reassure herself in her mind they were just longtime friends.
"It's so great to see you again." Batgirl said, still hugging him.
"Me? How about you?" he said, now holding her in front of him. "How've you been?"
"Well you know, jumping over rooftops, chasing down bad guys, all the while juggling with homework and such." She chuckled with him before she noticed him looking over her shoulder. "Oh, stupid me." She said, smacking her forehead lightly. "I forgot to introduce you." She indicated for them to come forward into the light.
They were two other girls. One had long dark haired who and wore a long red costume that reached all the way down her legs. It exposed her arms completely and was decorated with yellow stars that ran from her chest into singular lines down the side. She wore black boots that reached just below her knees. On her wrists were two metal bands that glowed with sliver. On her waist a yellow belt with a styled W on it, and hooked to the right side of it was a golden lasso. The second girl had blonde hair with a blue head band in it. She wore a blue skirt that reached just above her knees, red boots that reached to the middle of her lower leg, white gloves and a white T-shirt with a styled yellow and red S on it.
Seeing both of them, Speedy couldn't help but give a sailor's whistle while Beast Boy's eyes almost pooped out of his skull.
Batgirl looked to them and said "I'd like you all to meet Supergirl and Wonder Girl."
"Hi there." Supergirl waved.
Wonder Girl gave a bow and said "A pleasure to meet you all."
Robin walked back to present his team and said "And let me introduce you to the Teen Titans."
"We know." Supergirl said. "We've know a lot about you guys. Big fans."
"My kind of fans." Kid Flash said.
As the two girls got closer along with Batgirl, Beast Boy was one of the first to greet them himself.
"Hello ladies." He said, shaking their hands. "Beast Boy here. And I can tell you right now the rumors do me no justice. I'm much more handsome in person." He finished with a suave pose.
Supergirl gave a giggle before saying "Hi."
"So," BB said to her "are you really...?"
"Yep," she said, anticipating his question. "cousin to mister truth, justice and the American way himself."
"Whoa." He said, half swooning. "Awesome."
Speedy pushed past him and started shaking her hand saying "Hi there. Call me Speedy. But then again, call me anytime you want."
Supergirl gave a slight giggle and awkward smile at this, while Beast Boy gave a grumble under his breath at Speedy.
Kid Flash zipped up to Batgirl, shaking her hand, saying "Kid Flash, fastest boy alive, at your service."
"Nice to meet you." She said in a somewhat awkward tone.
Suddenly Aqualad pulled KF back by the ear, saying "One side, zippy. You're already spoken for." He took KF's place, shaking her hand saying. "Hi. Name's Aqualad."
While this happened, Cyborg walked up and shook hands with Wonder Girl. Both were giving slight blushes at each other.
"Hi." He said. "Cyborg."
"Don...oops,uh...I mean...Wonder Girl." She said, stopping herself and rubbing the back of her head. "Sorry. I almost gave away my secret identity. A bit of an bad habit."
"No problem." He said, finally stopping from shaking her hand. He looked down and said "Nice bracelets."
"Oh thank you." She said, holding them up to he could see them better. "They're made from the shield of Athena and forged by Hephaestus. Along with my lasso of truth." She indicated it.
"He seemed to have pretty good tastes." He said, making her blush at the comment.
As all of this happened, Raven and Starfire stood behind them all watching. Raven had her arms crossed, with a slight annoyed look, while Starfire had her folded down in front of her with a somewhat confused look.
"Well they all seem to be getting along well." Raven said, her tone giving a somewhat annoyed pitch.
Robin noticed the two of them standing alone and decided to lead Batgirl over, saying "Batgirl, this is Raven and..."
"Starfire, right?" she said, finishing before he could. "I've heard about you. Nice to meet you in person, finally." She started shaking her hand.
"And it is an honor to meet you, Bat-Girl." She said, smiling innocently and shaking her hand. "So...you and Robin are...?"
"Old friends?" she asked. "Sure. We ran around on the same team for a while before Robin here decided to go solo." She pointed at him.
"Oh...I see." She said, deciding not to correct her on what she was going to ask.
Robin spoke to all three of the new girls saying "It's nice to see you all, but what brings you all the way out here?"
Batgirl exchanged the same worried glance to Supergirl and Wonder Girl, which Robin and the others noticed, before she looked back to him and said "The thing is...we came here for you." She said to him.
"Me?" he asked.
"As well as you three." Supergirl pointed to Kid Flash, Speedy and Auqalad.
"I don't understand." Robin said, hearing this. "What's...?"
"We've been called, Robin." Batgirl said. "This situation doesn't involve just the Titans. Others have been attacked. Members of the team were ambushed by villains who seemed to attack almost systematically. Heck, WE were even attacked in Gotham."
"So...they called for us?" Speedy asked, indicating him and the others.
"Well some of the guys who attacked have a history with you all." Supergirl said. "And since the four of you, and us," she indicated the girls "were trained by some of the major members, they figured it was time for a little reunion to try and figure things out."
"Which is why you need to come with us, ASAP." Batgirl "Please."
"Hold up, hold up." Cyborg said. "What about the rest of us?" he indicated himself, Beast Boy, Raven and Starfire.
"Yeah." BB added. "We can't these guys have all the fun. We were attacked too you know."
"I'm sorry." Batgirl said. "But the orders were strictly for these guys specifically."
"If that's the case," Robin began "then I'm sorry, but I'm not going. My team's become just as involved in this as me. If they don't go, I don't go."
Batgirl was about to interjected, but saw that Robin was final with his word. She looked to the other girls who simply shrugged, figuring she would know what to do, being his old partner and all.
She gave a deep sigh before saying "Fine. But you're the one who's going to have to explain things when we get there."
"Sweet!" BB said. "Road trip time!"
"So where does our travels take us to?" Starfire asked.
"Washington." Batgirl answered. "We'll explain things as we get there."
"Alright." Cyborg said. "Let's see how many we can pile into the T-ship."
As all the others walked off, Batgirl and Robin were the only ones who stayed behind for a moment.
"I take it he wasn't too happy about the idea." Robin said to her.
"Actually...it was his idea." She said.
He gave a slight surprised look to this before smiling and walking off with her.
********************
In time the T-Ship was up over the ocean and flying towards Washington. Robin, Batgirl, Cyborg, Raven and Speedy sat inside of it. Supergirl, Starfire and Wonder Girl flew close by. Aqualad and Beast Boy, in the form of a dolphin, swam underneath and Kid Flash ran across the water. They all talked, via communicators, the three girls having one's in their ears.
"So tell me, ladies, how did you three come together?" Cyborg asked the girls
"Actually we followed after your guys example." Supergirl began. "Word spread about how you took down the Brotherhood of Evil and, well, hearing about it, we decided to give the "teen hero team" thing a try."
"Gotta say," Aqualad began "feels kind of nice to know we're setting an example for others."
"So did you guys ever come up with a name?" Speedy asked
"Well...not really." Wonder Girl said.
"Well I DID suggest we call ourselves the super..." Batgirl began
"B, I swear, if you go into that whole SBFF thing again, I'm using my heat vision." Supergirl said.
Batgirl gave a huff of defeat before Robin said "We're approaching the city. ETA-five minutes."
"So where exactly in the city should we be heading?" KF asked.
"Oh don't worry." Batgirl said. "You'll know it when you see it."
As they reached the land, Beast Boy and Aqualad came to shore. BB changed into a pterodactyl so Aqualad could ride with him further in. They followed as the others reached where they needed to land. The building itself was large and white. Large blue glass windows covered the front of it. A small staircase lead to the front of it where two large doors were. Across the circle-like structure that went overtop the windows were carved the words "Hall of Justice." In front of the building was a small pool with a star-shaped platform in the center of it. On the platform was a sculpture of dark-gold spikes cropped together. The T-ship landed and parked just in front of the Hall Of Justice. As everyone got out of it, the flyers already landed, Kid Flash stopped right in front of them and BB and Aqualad managed to reach them a moment later.
"Whoa." BB said, back to his normal form and looking at the Hall. "Nice digs."
"And I thought the Towers were something to behold." Kid Flash said.
Batgirl looked to everyone and said "We should go in. Knowing things around here we're likely to attract..."
"HEY LOOK!" someone shouted. "IT'S THE TEEN TITANS!"
Suddenly the whole group was swamped by a mob of adoring fans and citizens who merely wanted the attention of famous superheroes. One after another the Titans, as well as the three super girls, were asked for autographs, questions and the like.
"WE LOVE YOU, SPEEDY!"
"How do you get your hair into that nice shade of purple?"
"How fast can you go in just under a minute?"
"Can you sign this out to Mr. Dini?"
"YOU ROCK, CYBORG!"
"Does your skin look like that because you sick?"
"Wonder Girl, can we get a picture over here?"
"STARFIRE!"
"AQUALAD!"
"ROBIN!"
Finally, thanks to Supergirl, the team managed to be pushed out of the swarm of fans and towards the door to the Hall. Once they were inside, they had to take a moment to relax after being so overwhelmingly admired.
Raven started fixing herself, after being smothered by all the people, saying "Good thing it's not like that back home."
"That was worse than being stuck in a forest of seaweed." Aqualad said. "The really smelly kind."
"You tend to get that a lot here." Batgirl said, brushing herself off. "Just another curse to being a superhero I guess."
"Yeah, but did they need to be so rough?" BB asked. "I think one of those girls pulled out some of my hair."
The three girls lead the others into the main room of the Hall. A second doorway lead to a large room that looked like the main operating room. There were computers and machines of all different types surrounding the room. There was a large main computer screen at the back of the room with a large desktop in front of it.
"Wow." Kid Flash said. "Cool hardware." He zipped over to one of the machines and said "What's this. the coffee maker?"
"So where is everybody?" Speedy asked. "I thought we were having a meeting here."
"We are." Batgirl said. "Just not HERE, here exactly."
"Huh?" Speedy asked.
"I must agree with the Speedy." Starfire said. "I find this most confusing."
"Hey wait a sec." Cyborg said as he walked over to inspect one of the machines. "These are all fake. They don't really do anything except blink and make beeping noises."
"Good call." Supergirl said. "See the 'Hall of Justice' here is actually just a decoy. It was built keep the real base a secret. That way any super-villains that try to attack have the misfortune of hitting a falsely first."
"Got to say," BB began "Neat idea. Hey maybe we should try that. Like maybe make a big fake balloon venison of the Tower and set it up somewhere so any time someone attacks we..."
"I think we can all agree that plan's full of hot air." Raven said, making Beast Boy cross his arms.
"So where's the real base?" Robin asked
"Up there." Wonder Girl said, pointing up.
"Umm...you mean up on the roof?" BB asked
She giggled before saying "No, no. Up there. In space."
"Space?!?" BB, and surprisingly Cy, Speedy, Aqualad and KF said.
"Yeah." Batgirl began. "It's a big orbiting satellite station. It was built to monitor for any possible alien threats. Guess they felt the need to build it after Earth got attacked by the giant starfish thing."
"You know," Cy began. "you could've told us it was in space. We could've just taken the T-Ship up there."
"We felt it was best to use it as a ploy in case we were being followed." Wonder Girl said. "Never know if we were being followed the whole time."
"Good plan." Robin said. "So how do we get up there?"
In answer Batgirl and the others lead the Titans over to the larger computer at the end of the hall. She began to punch in a few codes before a hidden panel on the top slide open. A blue scanner began to beam it's lights over the three girls.
A computer voice came on after the scanning was done and said {Designations: Supergirl. Batgirl. Wonder Girl. Approved."}
Batgirl looked up and said "Allow protocol 029-8."
The computer seemed to process this before saying {Approved. Guest authorization active.}
Suddenly giant desktop started to go down into the floor while the computer screen seemed to rise up into the ceiling. Once they were clear, it reveal a large back room with a large white space on the ground with a faint white light coming from it.
"All aboard." Supergirl joked while indicating for them to step on it.
"Sweet." BB said, being ones of the first ones to get on it. "Just like tech they used in Space Trek."
As the rest started to get on Raven stopped and asked "Uh, are you guys sure this is safe?"
"Don't worry." Supergirl said. "It's been tested over a dozen times. You'll know if there's a problem if you wind up on the other side with a few pieces missing."
"I feel better already." She groaned before walking on.
As Batgirl watched the others get on she, and Starfire, noticed Robin was the only one still not one. He was looking down at the ground with his arms crossed. Star was about to go and ask what was troubling him, but stopped when she saw Batgirl already closer to him.
"Hey?" she asked him. "You alright?" When he didn't answer, but turn his head instead, she said "Hey, look, I know it might seem rough when you see him. But if it's any consolation, he was just as upset when you left too."
Robin perked his head up to see her and said "But what should I do when I see him? It's been so long. What should I even say?"
"If anything, I'm sure he'll leave his bigheadedness aside until after all this is handled. After that you two can do say whatever you need to."
Robin seemed like he was going to disapprove the idea, but instead gave a slight smile and nodded. She gave him a more happier and lead him on to the platform, throwing her arm over his shoulder as she did. Starfire noticed how Robin and Batgirl got along so well and gave a deep sigh at this, thinking what she thought this meant. Once they were on, the platform slowly began to light up and in moments all the teen heroes were encased in light and vanished. Once they were gone, the computer screen and desktop went back into place to conceal the teleportation platform once again.
********************
Once the heroes were finished teleporting to the new area, they all looked up and were awed by what they were seeing. Directly above them was a dome covering of think glass that was clear enough so they could see outside of it. They could see the Earth as clear as ay thanks to the sun, and among it the black void of space with all the starts shining in the distance. The room they were in seemed like a simple entrance room, with a few computers here-and-there, as well as a table, couch and some chairs, and a door directly in front that lead out to the rest of the station. From the outside the station looked like a large mechanical ball, surrounded by a mechanical collar that was extended out by four large arms. At the points where the arms from the ball met the collar, there were tower-like structures.
"Everybody," Supergirl said to them "welcome to the Watchtower. Home of the Justice League!"

They were not in the comics, but I felt like adding that in since, really, Cyborg hasn't had anyone. It's always been RobinxSarfire and Beast BoyXRaven, but none for Cyborg. It was really just my own little fan thing.
