"Okay... we've agreed on a style menu, on a cake, venue comes later, color scheme is done, waiting on final word from your mom and dad before we hard-set the date... Maid of Honor and Best Lady are set." Riley bites his bottom lip, frowning at the checklist.

"All that's left is... y'know, who's gonna actually be the one marrying us."

Neither of their families were especially religious, so this particular had been danced around more than once already, in favor of easier decisions.

The winter wind had a sharp bite to it and the cold rain made the day that much more miserable. The small canopy set up over the grave site did little ward off the rain. The weather fit Maria's mood perfectly. The graveside service had just wrapped up and the coffin had been lowered into the frozen ground. The other mourners were heading to the warmth of their waiting vehicles.

Maria didn't seem to notice the wind and the cold rain as she stood as still as the many statues that dotted the graveyard. Her mother was dead. Victim of bombing. It happened too close to the breakout at Arkham to be coincidence. Maria knew one of the escapees was responsible, she just had to find out which one.

She stared at the coffin sitting in the ground.

In the back of her mind she knew Bruce and her father were waiting in the car, but she just couldn't move.

Having relocated to the Titans Tower in NYC (at least until she and Riley got their own place, and even then, they'd probably keep a room there), it made it a little easier to drop in on Petra at Warrior's.  Not that the flight from Gotham was hard when you had an alien space bug fused to your spine, but it was never quite long enough to watch anything on a DVD and if you went too fast, you got splattered with bugs or ran into flocks of migrating birds.

So Dinah had called ahead to let Petra know she was coming, and dropped herself into a booth.

Shark Week was only a week away and Cerdian was needless to say very excited about. Just like he had been like since he was a little kid and uncle Roy introduced him to it much to his parents annoyances. He was watching some reruns from previous years in the titans east rec room while he worked on some paperwork for the research ship that he did a lot of work with. Nothing made doing paperwork easier that watching sharks.

So... getting married. It was a thing now. A thing that was actually going to happen, not at some nebulous far off point in the future, but within the year. Riley and Dinah didn't want some big drawn out engagement. There'd been vague discussions of dresses and guests lists and venues, but Riley was really on the fringe of all that. Oddly enough, Uncle Ted and Dad had taken over most of the planning, with various interventions by Aunt Sue.

Riley and Dinah, for their part, knew that pre-marital counseling was a sound idea, so they'd checked with Ruth about the idea and set up a schedule. Riley was meeting with her first, before Dinah's session, and then both of them.

So he's waiting in his usual room at the Tower, a few healthy snacks and drinks on hand out of gratitude to Ruth, along with a small gift-wrapped box as a thank-you present.

Not long after breaking the connection from Riley and Max, Dinah has set a land-speed record for getting ready for a date. A short time later, she was waiting outside the restaurant for Riley.

She checked her watch.

For the third time.

"You'd think time travelers would know not to be late..." she muttered.

She really hoped Riley hadn't done anything crazy with Max.

...Okay, he probably hadn't.

Probably.

April fool's day was not only a day that Annie and her father spent trying to out-prank each other, it was also her birthday. And the birthday of two good friends of hers, Barbie and Avia. So, Annie had decided that this year, she was throwing a huge birthday blowout for the three of them. After clearing it with Barbie and Avia, Annie had sent out invitations to their respective teammates, as well as the JSA, the Titans, and Cindy and her team, too. She'd spent the whole morning getting everything set up, and she'd gotten a giant birthday cake for the three of them. Annie looked over everything, making sure that everything was set up while she waited for everyone to arrive.

 Max was carefully working on a concept for one of the defenses he was hired to create for the New Guardians' headquarters.  He had a prototype set up, but it was a far cry from what he had been trying to make. Still, it was interesting enough not to discard completely. So he set it aside on the lab table while he worked on the next version.

Bruce threw a curve ball, he was quite fond of them, and decided to set up a Bat Family dinner. He did this once in awhile and Maria dreaded them like a root canal. Even though she never had a root canal. Most of the time they were normal dinners, but there had been a few that would always be remembered in the annals of the Bat Family history.

Just to torment the Squirt, Maria told Damian that dinner was in costume. Of course it wasn't, but she wanted to see if he'd fall for it.

Maria hummed happily as she made her way to the dining room.

Cindy was proud of the festivities she'd set up.

The game was projected onto one wall of the huge atrium the party was taking place in, with plenty of comfy seats facing it. It was only polite, after all.

More important was the food. Tables of chips, veggies, wings (with three different types of dressing), muffelettas (it's a New Orleans occasion this year. Thematic), and chili rolls. Cindy was especially proud of the chili rolls; there was one row marked 'Regular' and one row marked 'Queen' The latter row had a stack of pens and informed-consent waivers in front of it.

There was also a small end table full of party favors for everyone. In celebration of commerce, they were $10 gift cards, each for somewhere she thought fitting for the person the card was marked for.

Cindy likes parties.

It had been a beautiful service, of course. It was every week, even though Ruth had always had trouble getting used to going alone. Team Morgenstern did every service together. Here... she couldn't even bring Jay.

She'd turned down joining a covenant group at the church -- again -- because "Oh, you know, between school and work and all, there just isn't enough time." Plus the covenant group met during the time she'd allotted for helping Jay study. Which sometimes seemed to be more than Jay had alotted for studying.

But it had been a beautiful service, of course. A classic sermon, too, the prodigal son story. Her dad had done that one, too. Including reminding the congregation of the fact that the prodigal son's mistakes aren't the point of the story at all. ...It's the older brother who can't get over them. It's the older brother who has to learn that it isn't about keeping score and who screwed up and who didn't and who got the fatted calf party and who never even got that goat he wanted. It's about how families should come together. Including the family of all life in its great interconnected web.

Which is a very important and beautiful message, that she's always tried to make a point of studying carefully. Because she knows herself, and knows its one of the hard ones for her. And so she's trying hard today ... because sometimes people fall. And when they fall, the job is to get them back up on their feet and throw a figurative fatted-calf party because it's so good to have them back up on their feet. Until they fall again. ...and why didn't the older brother ever get his own goat? He followed all the rules.

It had been a beautiful service, but Ruth finds herself scowling coldly as she gets back.

Donna Troy had arranged for all for all of this on an at least talk to him basis and his dad had agreed with her that he should do this. Though he thought that was mainly because he dad still had a think for her but still a valid point was made and he could at least give her a chance.

He arrived at Titans Tower when Donna had said he should. She had apparently talked to them though he didn’t really know anything more than that about what was going on.

Predictably, when Thomas had ended up applying to colleges earlier in the year, he'd ended up in the business major. Not even he was going to deny Bruce's influence on that. Not that he minded, it was flexible enough and gave him space to dabble in both computer science and art history as he pleased, the latter he'd probably make a minor later on though. 

The whole thing felt kind of funny. New universe, new school, new job, and well, okay fine, he didn't have friends. Maybe that'd change. But at least the internship gig in WE's security design department was more flexible than his job at the zoo, even if he would miss feeding those tigers. 

Walking along with the sub he'd bought for lunch, Thomas strolls around campus looking for somewhere to eat.

The security guard led the Titans into what looked like a conference room. When inside, he removed a cigarette and lit it up.

"First off, thanks for coming. Second, you're not going to like how little I can actually tell you. Before you fly off the handle it's because I literally don't know, not because of confidentiality crap."

Warrior's Bar and Grill was officially closed for the evening, and with good reason.  Avia and Petra had taken it over for the annual "Rate the Hunks" party, though that was in truth, only a small part of the evening.  The various women of the teams getting to socialize and have fun and get to know each other was far more important that drooling over the sweet, sweet eyecandy that was...

Wait.  What was she thinking about?

But invitations had gone out to all the super-women in Avia's Rolodex, including the JSA, the YJLA, the Titans, and the New Guardians, and anyone else anyone else knew.  There was food, alcohol for those old enough,  background music.

"Looks like we're all set, Petra, m'groovy gal pal."

Now, folks just had to show.

dc_kobra:

It was some charity function or other, but what it had been for, held in the New York Museum of Natural History, didn't much matter.  What did matter was that Kobra had crashed the party.  The guests were quickly taken hostage, their money seized.  A few of the security guards had already been killed.

The money was, of course, nice, but more importantly, was the message.  Colonel Kill had been placed in charge of this mission, personally entrusted with it by the Serpent Supreme himself.  Each step brought them closer to resurrecting their glorious leader, the naga-naga.

He waved his gun in the direction of the hostages.  "You all have a glorious part to play," he said.  "Your deaths will help bring forth the Kali-Yuga, the age of change and judgement!  The blood you spill today will be envied by those who perish after you!"

He didn't believe a word of it, of course.  He was a mercenary, nothing more.  But Kobra paid well, and the Supreme Serpent did believe in it.  So when he was working for them, so did he.

He gestured toward some of the Kobra troopers he had brought with him.

"Kill them all.  Sacrifice them to the great Kali!"

Michael had hoped to visit Titans East tower sooner than this, but with an uptick in school work (Summer intersession: The same amount of work in a semester in about a six week period) he hadn't been able to really come by the tower to drop off his gift to the princess.

It was something small, a small pendant with a T symbol to represent the Titans and colored Patina to give it a nice blue color. He had it wrapped up and ready to go. So once his final class of the day was over he made sure to get everything packed up and head to New York, where the Titans East were.

Maria wasn't exactly sure what to get Marissa for her birthday, but she had to get something. It was Marissa's eighteenth birthday and that was a big one. Maria remembered hers quite fondly. It was the birthday that ended up sitting in jail cell for a few hours. The memory made her smile.

Maria had gone the safe route in terms of a gift. A certificate for the works at a great spa Maria recently found and the best Belgian truffles. The gifts were accompanied by a card and Maria urged Marissa to go raise some hell on her birthday and to have fun.

All things considered?  Dinah would have to say life was going pretty good right now.  High School graduation was less than a month away, she had pretty much her pick of colleges, her Titans team was doing pretty well (imps notwithstanding), the time stream was reasonably stable, her science project took second place at the school science fair (lousy judges wouldn't know science if it bit them on the behind...), and her relationship with Riley was nothing short of astounding.

The only downside, if it could be called as such, was the having to buy a lot of new bras.  Fortunately, she'd had a long conversation with the Scarab about not making any modifications to her body without her express permission.

Now, however, was the time of rooftop ice cream.  A very good tradition of hers and Riley's, back from even before they were actually dating.

"Nice night, isn't it?" she asked.

New York City was seeing a beautiful spring day. The temperature was sixty degrees, the sun was out and New Yorkers were enjoying the perfect spring day. The grass in Central Park was green and the trees had buds on them.

Without warning the temperature dropped to a balmy thirty degrees and snow started falling all around the city. Strands of Christmas lights appeared on trees and Christmas music started blaring from speakers around the city. The clothes of the residents of the city, including the superhero population, turned into bikinis and surf shorts.

The snow continued to fall and eventually the city was coated in white. Ice formed in front of Rockefeller Center and the skating rink was back. Jingle bells could be heard and eventually Santa Claus, wearing a Nixon mask, appeared and he was flanked by elves wearing masks of presidents. All of the elves carried strings of beads and wore smiles on their faces.

It was a chaotic scene.

Refurbishment on the Tower in New York harbor had started almost immediately after they'd decided to put together a second Titans team.  Between Dinah and Lily, more than enough favors existed for the work to be done in almost no time at all, though Dinah would still need to spend a lot of time updating the security and other computer systems.  On top of the logistics of running the team itself.  Was this how Cait or Iris has felt?  Having the burden of leadership put upon  her like this?  But no one else wanted the job, and well, someone had to do it, so someone had to step up.  It might as well be her.

"Okay," she said, once she had the ones who were coming in the Tower's meeting room.  "So this is our HQ.  We can work on picking out rooms after this meeting.  You're all welcome to live here, of course, though you're not required to.  Teleporter is down the hall, do not use it for pizza deliveries.  Emergency codes one, two, and three are the west coast tower, the YJLA HQ, and the JSA brownstone, respectively.  Emergency code four will dump the platform's contents into the still zone.  It's our all purpose "try and get rid of something" plan.

"If you're going to be bringing people back here, please let the rest of us know.  And try not to bring anyone back for a booty call.  If you do plan on having sex in the Tower, do in in your own rooms and not in any of the public areas.  Also please remember that Riley and I still have secret identities, and we'd like to keep it that way.

"I'm keeping the Bug stored here in the hangar, though we also have a T-Jet, which you may be more comfortable with.  We'll be getting you all up to speed flying it as soon as possible.  We've also got a couple of short range single-person vehicles, and what amounts to a "Titans Van" if we ever really need it.

"Your communicators are now set to operate on our own frequency, though they can be set to pick up other team bands, depending on need.

"Any questions so far?"

The city of Star City looked deserted. The citizens had either fled or had been turned into black lanterns. At the heart of the city was the entity known as Nekron. Nekron used the city as his base as his black lanterns ravaged the Earth.

The black lanterns increased their numbers each day and the power levels of the black lantern battery increased with each person that died.

Soon Nekron would have enough power to obliterate all life on this planet.

Pippi did her best to heal the people she could. As usual, she could speed things a long a little, make pain go away, but it was hard again, not like things back at the tower.

It wasn't fair - if hurting people was easy, fixing them should be easier, not the other way around.

She plays with her new Rottweiler for a little bit, letting him keep the goalie mask on top of his head. He seems to like it. It also keeps her out of the way, and gives her something to hug. She always heard that petting a kitty or puppy would make things better - but Cait was still dead, and she'd still hurt all those people. They were dead, and trying to kill her - and hugs and healing didn't fix them, no matter how hard she tried or how much she wanted them to.

Finally, once she's been out of the way for long enough, she tells the Rottweiler to keep an eye on her stuff, then she grabs Dingo's helmet, and goes to try and find Dinah.

Gotham Heights was a pleasant suburban community, just outside of Gotham City proper.  Close enough that the locals claimed they were Gothamites, but just far enough away to be free of the crime and corruption that characterized the city proper.  Many of the most prosperous citizens of Gotham City made their home there.  It was a good place.  The kind of community you would want your children to grow up in.

It was a place of green lawns and white picket fences and sprawling large estates and homes, gated communities.  The Gotham Heights Technical Academy and Gotham Heights College Preparatory attracted only the best of students.

It was a place that was about to be beset by death.  Dual Black Lanterns flew threw the air to the home of one Ted Kord and his wife.

The first, wearing chain mail and a fin, looked out upon the house and grimaced.  It held up a hand and unleashed a crackling bolt of power, blowing away a top floor window and a good section of the roof.

"Come out, come out, wherever you are!"

It started as any other morning in San Francisco. The sun came up in the East and people climbed from the beds to start their day.

The Titans in Titans Tower were starting their day. Their new sister team from the East were visiting for a meeting to discuss the current situation. While they were inside making plans, the waters of the Pacific started to churn. Waves kicked up and dark clouds blocked out the light of the sun.

The water quickly pulled back from the shore and things were calm for the briefest of moments. Then a huge tsunami crashed ashore and water flooded the lower half of the city.

"Hey Adam...wanna go out on a patrol together? It'll be fun."

Boy, was Lily really starting to regret those words right now.

A little nightly patrol on New York City, looking to maybe stop some muggers had take a drastic turn when Lily and Adam happened upon a little villain group called the Pack pulling a heist on a local LuthorCorp Facility.

A few muggers they could have handled? A group of villains with high-tech armor? They were in a little bit over their heads.

Troia went slamming into a wall of crates, and they fell down around her. She climbed out of them, throwing on of them at Coyote, who had sent her into that wall of crates.

Any number of things had been going down recently, but the rash of various thefts from Queen, Wayne, Luthor, and Kord Industries' west coast branches (the last one made it personal), also had to be dealt with.  Dinah had done some investigating on her own, the clues being relatively simple things, since the robberies themselves had largely been smash and grabs and the like.

What had been surprising were the culprits involved: the Pack.  The mercenary team was relatively well known within certain circles, operating out of Zandia with impunity from the laws.  This seemed a bit below their usual standard, but it probably meant someone even higher up on the food chain was working an angle.

And the next theft, based on what she had pieced together about just what had been stolen, was going to be in Gotham, at one of the Wayne Industries warehouses.  Even with the Scarab, she knew she couldn't take them all on on her own.  She needed the Titans.  But with the team decimated of late and time being of the essence, she'd only been able to get Pippi, Mitzi, and Ash to come with her.

Fortunately, they'd been able to pick Riley up along the way.

She brought the Bug into hover mode, closing the faceplate on her armor.  "Okay, I briefed you all on these guys on the way over.  They're very nasty and they won't hesitate to kill you if you get the chance.  No fancy heroics.  We play this like a team."

bwa_ha_ha:

The woods near Gotham City

Other than talking in her head and occasionally popping up scans she couldn't understand, Dinah had yet to be able to get Khaji Da to work for her.  She'd tried its name, tried "Shazam", tried "flame on," and several other catch phrases without success.  Even reading over the notes her dad, Dani Garret, and Jaime himself had written hadn't turned up anything. 

It made sense, of course.  The Scarab wasn't meant to transfer hosts the way it had.  The trauma of Jaime's injuries had surely been passed onto it as well.  But there had to be some way to reactivate it fully.

So Dinah had gotten Riley to take her out where the could do a reasonable amount of property-free damage experimenting.  She was a little worried that he'd brought the book with the list of ways they'd tried to see if he had the metagene though.

"Okay, so maybe we need some kind of threat?"

It made the Southwest news first, but it was eventually picked up by the nation services. In the wake of Superman's death, the death of a localized hero like the Blue Beetle didn't seem quite so important.

"Today, defending his home city of El Paso, the local super-hero known as the Blue Beetle was killed by an unknown super-villain. The third Blue Beetle is best known for his controversial pro-immigration stance publicly taken some years ago, leading many to believe that the hero was in fact an immigrant himself. The youthful hero known as the Scarab, a member of the Teen Titans who patterned herself after the second Blue Beetle, was also involved in the battle, and was originally believed to have been critically injured herself, but seemed to mount a miraculous recovery before spiriting away with the body of the Blue Beetle.

El Paso, Texas will be mourning its hero for some time to come, and many of us are left to wonder if there isn't some grander conspiracy killing our heroes..." CONT on Page A2...

A lot of the Titans have had a tough time lately. There's also the concern that there's all the holiday parties, get-togethers, and general gatherings that might involve mistletoe coming up - which means her new best friends need to be ready.

Any of the Titans girls who have spent any real time around the Tower, most notably and certainly, Dinah, Mitzy and Iris, receive their Christmas present early - they're told to meet in the lobby, dressed comfortably and ready to go out. There's a surprise waiting for them.

Mickey had roped off the living room in the JSA Brownstone for the afternoon. She had spent the entire morning getting the food ready and setting up. She had sent out invites to the JLA, Titans (both East and West Coast), Shadowpact, Outsiders, Birds of Prey, and of course, the JSA girls. She had also invited Cindy in case she wanted to come, and Angie, as she was basically a JSA brat herself. Mikey had built her a projection bot, and security bot that would alert her if any of the boys thought to try and see what the girls were up to.

Mickey finished setting up the projector. She had pictures of all the guys from the various teams that she had managed to get to her hands on. She made sure that there would be enough food and drinks for everyone, and waited for people to start arriving.

The room lined with statues of Titans that given their lives to help others was something that Iris didn't set foot on a regular basis.

Cait had called Jon and a meeting had been set once all the avatars had been located. It seemed like every god and goddess had chosen an avatar to act in their stead during this crisis. They would all be needed along with the rest of the teams. Their opponents weren't just supervillains, but were gods.

Cait along with Ty, Ruth and Dinah headed for the JLA headquarters. Dinah was Hephaestus' avatar, Cait was Poseidon's, Ruth was Hera's and Ty was excellent at coordinating and knowing things. They would be the representatives for the Teen Titans.

They arrived and took seats at the table.

dc_gods:

Hephaestus, Master of the Forge, God of Innovation, Crafstmen, Fire, and Metal appeared before Dinah Kord, the earth splitting open and his form limping out, magma falling off his body.

"Dinah Kord. These are troubled times for mortals and gods." He rasps, rubbing chapped and soot-stained hands together thoughtfully. "I am in need of an avatar, and your keen mind pleases me."

They had to spend a few days in Poseidonis before coming back to Titans' Tower due to Cait's wounds, but eventually she was well enough to make the trip. The physicians wanted her to wait longer, but Arthur needed to get back here and Cait didn't want to leave him around Ty for any longer than necessary. To be honest, she was surprised San Francisco was still standing after Arthur had already been there for a few days.

Once they reached Metropolis they called the Tower and Cait asked Ty to come and get them. Cait was in bad enough shape with two healing stab wounds, she didn't want to add any additional misery by flying.

Cait smiled after they appeared in the Tower. Teleporting wasn't her favorite method of travel, but it was still better than flying. The important thing was that she was home. Nothing felt better than coming home.

"Hello?" she called out.

The Titans of myth being freed from Hades goes beyond just the YJLA. The adults are also working on it, but haven't had a lot of luck, especially with so many of their number in semi-retirement. As such, Jon moved beyond his original plan to hold a meeting of his team, and called to invite representatives of the other teams as well, calling all active roster YJLA, and inviting the other teams to send 1-3 people so things didn't get too crowded. Then they can inform their people what's going on.


"So, folks, we have a big problem. The monsters and beings that have been appearing around the world were freed from the dimension Hades. We don't know how or by who. The Olympian gods have not been forthcoming, even to the Amazons, and even very powerful mystics have been unable to pierce the mystery... though past experience has taught us that's often the case with affairs of the gods. They limit their direct interference in mortal affairs, in exchange, mortals have a very hard time dealing directly with them. Sadly, even though the original Grecian Titans don't have any such compact, to learn what happened, we'd need to get past Hades' protections. The Greek gods may be incapacitated, or may be somehow bound by the compact of the gods. Its very possible that once the original Titans reached Earth, their captors couldn't directly interfere."

He sighs. "Direct confrontation isn't the likely answer. Single gods have fought groups including my father, Wonder Woman and a handful of other senior leaguers. Many of the Titans have the power of an entire team. The Titans are more powerful still - the only reason the Greek Gods defeated them was due to greater unity and better tactics. Don't mistake me - they can be beaten, but we're going to need a good plan, and possibly more allies and greater resources. At this point, I'm open to ideas."

Since the calendar had turned to the month of September, Iris had been counting down the days until their birthday. She'd been planning the party since back in June. Jai normally had no problem letting her handle the party planning itself.

She had invited all of the Titans, including Pipi and Mitzi, of course. And Jon, Corinna, Traya, Cindy, Jerry, Keith, Cerdian, and Wendi, too. And Riley, because if she didn't invite him, he'd probably tag along with Dinah anyway. She also told Cait that she could bring her mom along, if she wanted to get out of the Tower, and that her parents probably wouldn't mind the company at all. Jai probably invited some people too, though the guest list was pretty much the same between the two of them.

Everything was all set up, and Iris placed the wrapped package that had Jai's gift on the table where the other gifts would go. Grinning from ear to ear, she waited for everyone to arrive.

Cerdian had given Cait the kick in the ass she needed to get things moving to rescue her father. No one else was going to rescue Arthur. The Atlantis stuff...well that was something she would deal with later. Getting Arthur back on the throne was the most important thing at the moment. Her issues with him could be worked on later. Maybe. It depended on Arthur.

She slipped into her uniform and called AJ, Cerdian and the Titans. They didn't have to go, but she would ask for their help.

Tables had been placed outside and the large grill fired up to get nice and hot. Burgers, hot dogs, sausage, ribs, corn on the cob, pasta salad, salad and fruit salad were just some of the food available to eat. Soda, water, fruit juice and other beverages were on ice.

The Titans worked as a team and as a family to prepare the food. When they were ready, they carried it all outside and started their celebration.

It was a day of rest and relaxations for those who put their lives on the line for others.
