The Titans are scattered around the Tower. Aqualad swims in the pool, Donna is in an AR room training, Robin is in the gym working out, Roy is at an arching range. Meanwhile Kid Flash is in school back in Keystone city. He’s currently taking a math test, bored out of his mind. Thinking of mischief, he shoots a spitball at his friend Keith. His teacher ends up seeing.

Teacher

Mr. West! Go to the Principal’s office!

The rest of the class turns around and looks at him.

Wally

Great.

Wally gets out of the office, and his friend is waiting for him.

Keith

Nice prank, dickhead

Wally

Yeah well, it got me a failed test.

Keith

You deserved jail time. Anyways, what are you doing for prom?

Wally

I dunno Keith, I was just gonna sit around at home. Play video game, eat pizza bagels. That kinda thing.

Keith

God bro, we’re juniors! We’re almost seniors! We can’t be doing that baby junk anymore. What about Frankie?

Wally

Frankie? What about her?

Keith

I see the way you two look at each other, you gotta ask her out before somebody else does it.

Wally

You know what, you’re right. Enough sitting and waiting around, I’m almost 17! I’m just gonna do it. See you later Keith

Wally turns the opposite direction, around where Frankie hangs out

Keith

I didn’t mean now..

Frankie is talking to her friends while Wally confronts her

Wally

Hey, Frankie!

Frankie

Oh hey Wall, I saw you get sent to the principals, what happened?

Wally

Oh you know me and Keith. Just messing around I guess. Listen, prom is like 2 months away, and seeing how we both don’t have a date yet-

Wally’s communicator starts beeping in his pocket

Wally

Now?

Frankie

Is.. someone calling you?

Wally

Yeah, I just- Frankie do you wanna go to prom with me?

Frankie

I- yeah okay!

Wally

Okay?

Frankie

Yeah! I’ll go with you!

Wally

Alright! Alright, cool! Well I gotta go, but I’ll see you later!

Wally runs out of the building at normal speed.

Frankie’s friend

Weird kid.

Frankie

Heh. Yeah

Wally is running through the city at superspeed, towards Jump City

Wally

WOOHOOOOOOOO

Title Card

Kid Flash shows up to the Tower living room, all the Titans are looking at a giant screen with the news.

Robin

You’re late.

Kid Flash

I was in school, you guys don’t have school?

Wonder Girl

Homeschooled.

Red Arrow

I’m like 19.

Robin

Graduated.

Aqualad

Atlantean.

Kid Flash

Whatever, I’m here, what’d I miss?

Robin

Alien invasion, downtown Jump City.

Kid Flash

Really? Are we ready for that sorta thing?

Red Arrow

Of course we are. Let’s go.

Kid Flash

Okay but I can’t carry everyone over there

Wonder Girl

I can fly the rest there.

Robin

Noted. Kid Flash, I’ll go with you. Red Arrow, Aqualad you’re with Wonder Girl. Head out.

Meanwhile, Starfire is downtown and blasting alien invaders

Starfire

(Ineligible Alien Language)

Random Voice

Hey!

Starfire turns around, and she sees a half man half machine.

Cyborg

What the hell is going on here?

Starfire

X’hal! (Ineligible Alien Language)

Starfire blasts at the man, and he’s able to shield himself by morphing his arm.

Cyborg

You’ve done it now.

Cyborg blasts back at her, and Starfire dodges it. While Starfire is distracted the aliens take her and drag her back in the ship.

Cyborg

This.. this ain’t right

Cyborg blasts the Alien ship’s engine, sending it upwards and spiraling somewhere in the city

Cyborg

Shit!

The Titans arrive to the scene. Kid Flash carrying Robin first, and Wonder Girl holding Red Arrow and Aqualad by the hand 2nd.

Robin

We definitely need a better mode of transportation

Red Arrow

I don’t mind mine.

Aqualad

Save it Arrowhead

Robin

What happened here?

Cyborg

I think I can help with that. You’re uhh.. you’re Batman’s kid right?

Robin

Partner. What’s going on.

Cyborg

It was some kind of.. alien goddess type? Fighting off some demon looking aliens. She was speaking in her language, but she seemed aggressive and blasted at me. I shot back, the bad aliens took her, and then I shot their ship down. They’re landed somewhere in the city.

Robin

We need to get there, quick. Kid Flash, perimeter sweep.

Kid Flash

On it.

Kid Flash runs and runs back

Kid Flash

Alien ship, 2 blocks away

Aqualad

Then let’s get down there

Cyborg

I’m coming with. I need to rectify what happened

The Titans + Cyborg all arrive at the scene. The aliens are trying to jumpstart their ship once again, Starfire is held captive in the ship.

Robin

Titans, remember what we’ve practiced. Remember to use your strengths. New guy, uh what’s your name?

Cyborg

Cyborg. Call me Cyborg.

Robin

Cool. Cyborg, follow our lead. Teen Titans, head out!

Kid Flash

We really gotta work on that.

Kid Flash runs for the inside of the ship, while the rest of the Titans fight off the surrounding aliens. Inside the ship, Kid Flash is helping to free Starfire, but aliens keep swarming him from behind.

Kid Flash

Need some help!

Robin

Hold on! I’m coming!

Robin rushes into the ship, and throws a gas bomb towards the swarm of aliens. He and Kid Flash are able to take down the swarm. After they’re taken down, they both look at Starfire strapped down to the chair. Robin approaches her to free her shackles.

Starfire

(Ineligible alien language)

Robin

Uh, sorry?

Starfire leans in to kiss Robin, and settles back down in the chair.

Starfire

I said thank you.

Robin

Uh.. yeah you seemed really appreciative

Starfire

My kind learns language through mouth to mouth contact. Any language in the galaxy.

Robin

Heh. Useful.

Kid Flash

Crazy. I was right here too.

Robin

Come on, let’s get you out of here.. Are those your captors?

Starfire

They’re Tamaranean Royal Guard. My own kind.

Robin

And.. they’re chasing you?

Starfire

I’ve been branded a fugitive and scheduled for execution. My own family has betrayed me.

Robin

You- whatever, the point is we need to get out of here. How’s it going out there?

The Titans are finishing up the Tamaranean.

Red Arrow

Pretty good! We’re basically done!

Cyborg blasts the last one in the chest

Cyborg

Now we’re done.

In a control room with multiple monitors surveying camera activity, Ravager walks through to get to one man.

Ravager

Father. You called me?

Deathstroke turns around, his mask is off. He has an eye patch and a goatee.

Deathstroke

I did. Have you been watching the news?

Ravager

No. I haven’t.

Deathstroke

Those kids, the ones who arrested Gizmo? Stopping our plans? They were there, minutes ago

Ravager

Then we have a new lead

Deathstroke

One that I want you and Lady Vic to investigate

Ravager

Lady- father, with all due respect, I do not need Lady Vic to accompany me. I can handle this on my own and frankly she will only-

Deathstroke

Did I ask you to speak back?

Ravager

No.. no sir.

Deathstroke

When I give an order, you will execute that order. You do not question it, soldier. That’s why I’m in charge.

Ravager

Yes sir. Sorry sir. Speaking of orders and gizmo, what are we to do with him?

Deathstroke

Let him rot in that cell. He’s a pathetic excuse for an assassin, we have everybody we need.

Ravager

Understood.

Deathstroke

Now, go get Vic and tell her about your little field trip. I’m expecting great things.

The Titans are all in the living room, Cyborg scopes around the place while the rest of the team sit around in the living room. Robin and Starfire aren’t present.

Cyborg

This is a nice place.. how’d you get it again?

Wonder Girl

Robin has his hookups

Red Arrow

Bat related ones

Cyborg

Wow. Could use some upgrades though.

Aqualad

Where’d you say you’re from?

Cyborg

Detroit. Then Metropolis. And then.. this I guess.

Kid Flash

I mean, you totally look sick.

Wonder Girl

Kid Flash!

Cyborg

No it’s alright, I can get the amusement. I learned to embrace the robot parts a while ago. The Doom Patrol helped me out with that.

Red Arrow

The Doom Patrol? You mean the ones in New York?

Cyborg

Only Doom Patrol I’ve heard of

Red Arrow

Yeah, I read about them once. Led by that Caulder guy right?

Cyborg

We call him the Chief, but yeah. Ran by the Chief.

Red Arrow

Huh. Heard he was kind of a-

Cyborg

Nut job? Dickhead? Asshole?

Red Arrow

I was gonna say recluse, but I’ve heard those things too

Cyborg

Yeah, well they’re all true. But you know, family.

Aqualad

Robin sure is taking his time

Wonder Girl

Makes you wonder how that “interrogation”s going.

Kid Flash

Interrogation my ass, I caught them kissing in the ship!

Aqualad

Yeah but wasn’t that so she can learn our language?

Kid Flash

Nah, it was more than that. You could tell

Wonder Girl

Because you’re an expert on the stuff aren’t ya

Kid Flash

Who knows? Maybe I am

As Kid Flash is leaning on the counter he slips and falls down, the rest of the Titans laugh.

Meanwhile, in the Interrogation Room, Robin probes deeper into where Starfire is from.

Robin

Say it again, who are you?

Starfire

I am an alien princess who comes from the planet Tamaran, I was betrayed by my sister and annexed from my family. After escaping their capture, they sent the Tamaranean Royal Guard after me. I flew away in a ship for as far as I could, and I ended up crash landing on this planet. In where you’d call.. ummm

Robin

Slovakia.

Starfire

Yes! Many thanks! I crash landed in Slovakia, where they chased me until I got here.

Robin

Uh huh. Listen,- what should I call you?

Starfire

Koriand'r. Kori is fine.

Robin

Right. Kori, I have no reason to trust or believe you, I don’t even-

Kori

You don’t even know where I’m from? I’ve told you, I’m from Tamaran?

Robin

No, that’s not-

Kori

It’s that you don’t know where it is. You let the Cyborg man sit in your living room, no interrogation.

Robin is silent

Kori

It’s okay, I understand humans have yet to catch up to alien civilizations. This is a, what you would call a touchy subject. But keep in mind that Superman, your world's most famous hero, is an alien. I am not the bad guy here Robin.

Robin

Then prove it. Where are they and where will they hit next?

Kori

They had an outpost nearby that they had set up to communicate with the Royal- my family. They’re likely there now.

Robin

And you can lead the way?

Kori

Yes I can.

Robin

Great, then let’s go end your persecution shall we?

On top of a hill, Ravager and Lady Vic watch the police and detectives gather a crime scene around the alien attack.

Lady Vic

Look at these.. Swine run around. Not a clue of the bigger picture.

Ravager

Yeah.

Lady Vic

I mean it’s astounding, truly astounding how any of these men got their badges.

Ravager

Mhm.

Lady Vic

What passes for an American police officer, ha! You know, in London-

Ravager

Why don’t we just go down there? Huh? Show them why you’re so much better?

Lady Vic

Nonsense. This is why your father sent me with you. Impatience.

Ravager

Oh I bet.

Lady Vic

We will wait and scope out the scene, we will strike at the opportune moment, and we will-

Ravager is already running down the hill, she grabs a detective and pulls him into an alleyway without anybody noticing. She pulls a sword to his throat.

Ravager

Everything you know about what went down here. NOW!

Detective

Some- some kids! I think one of them was Batman’s kid! All of them sidekicks I’m pretty sure! They came here and fought-

Ravager

I watched the news, pig, tell me what happened after?

Detective

They drove off! I’m pretty sure one of them flew over in that direction!

Ravager

That doesn’t help me.

Ravager slices deeper into his skin, enough to make him bleed.

Ravager

How about the aliens? Where did they go?

Detective

I don’t know! I don’t know!

Lady Vic

Oh, but I think I do.

The detective slowly reaches for his gun, and Lady Vic throws a blade at his arm

Detective

AHHHH!!!

Lady Vic

Hush now, you wouldn’t want your comrades to hear you, would we? I wouldn’t want anybody to find you before you bleed out.

Lady Vic smashes his head against the wall, knocking him out.

Ravager

There goes our lead.

Lady Vic

Not exactly. Those aliens have an incredibly traceable tachyon signature.

Ravager

Tachy- huh?

Lady Vic

Americans. The point is, if we chase that, we likely find the children.

Ravager

And what do we do? When we find them?

Lady Vic

Whatever your father orders. I hope it’s some fun.

The Titans all arrive at an abandoned warehouse.

Cyborg

We sure this is the place?

Kori

I’m certain of it.

Kori speaks her native tongue, and the warehouse lights up, unveiling loads of Tamaranean gear. The soldiers surround them.

Red Arrow

Isn’t this just great

Kori

Wait, let me talk to them. (Speaks in Tamaranean)

The soldiers take a second, and nod. One goes to the back and gets a communication device. A holographic image displays, and a woman who looks like Kori w black hair appears.

Kori

(Speaks in Tamaranean)

Woman

Can we speak in English? It sets the mood after all. I’m sure by now you’ve learned it.

Kori

How have you-

Woman

All the while you were the prodigy child, I was in my room. Honing my skills, getting better. I taught myself nearly all of the languages in this sector. English was simple. I’m sure it was for you too, who did you have to kiss?

Robin

What’s going on here, who is this Kori?

Kori

This is my sister. Komand’r, the acting Queen of Tamaran. She only had to murder our parents to do it.

Komand'r

So, is this him then? Not bad at all. I’ll have to come down to Earth and see for myself.

Kori

You will leave this planet alone, Komand’r. I have done nothing wrong, you already have Tamaran.

Komand'r

Sister, you know I can’t do that. My Royal subjects simply demand your head, and frankly so do I.

Kid Flash

This isn’t sounding good..

Wonder Girl

Titans, get ready.

Suddenly, the door is busted open by Ravager and Lady Vic

Lady Vic

Well! This looks like a lovely reunion!

Komand'r

You dare ambush my troops, sister?

Kori

Wait! No!

Komand'r

Kill them! Kill them all!

Komand'r shuts off transmission.

Robin

Teen Titans, fight!

The Titans rush the Tamaraneans, each of them taking on a different alien. Meanwhile, more aliens attempt to rush Lady Vic and Ravager. They each split off, killing aliens with relative ease. After killing one, Ravager notices Robin and decides to catch him by surprise. She strikes him with her sword, he blocks them with his sticks. She flips back and gets in an attack position.

Ravager

Your mentor once bested my father, I won’t make the same mistakes he did against you

Robin

I’m pretty sure my “mentor has bested” a lot of fathers before. But based off your attire, weaponry, fighting style.. You’re Deathstroke’s kid aren’t you?

Ravager

So the bird has brains. Let’s seem them.

Ravager rushes Robin, and the two fight.

Meanwhile, Lady Vic charges an unprepared Kid Flash, Wonder Girl arrives just in time to block the attack, shattering her sword.

Lady Vic

You’re one of them aren’t you? An Amazonian?

Wonder Girl

Halfway.

Wonder Girl gets in a fighting stance, taking her lasso out.

Lady Vic

That half has already betrayed you.

Lady Vic rushes Wonder Girl with daggers.

Meanwhile, Cyborg, Kori and Red Arrow are fending off Tamaraneans.

Cyborg

There’s way too many! We’re getting overrun!

Red Arrow

Running low on arrows, any bright ideas princess?

Kori

We fight! Or we die!

Red Arrow

Lovely.

Aqualad

Titans! Get to high ground!

Kid Flash

Way ahead of you!

Kid Flash runs up a wall and hangs from one of the ceiling beams. Kori and Cyborg look in confusion at first, but Kori flies upwards and Cyborg grabs Roy and does the same. Wonder Girl and Robin barely notice the command, but Wonder Girl is able to smack Lady Vic across the room and begins to fly upwards.

Wonder Girl

Robin! We’re waiting on you!

Robin

In a second!

Robin does a high flying kick to Ravager’s face, and grapples upwards. Suddenly, Aqualad commands a flood throughout the entire warehouse, pushing the alien soldiers backwards, while Lady Vic and Ravager narrowly dodge it. This flood takes out most of the soldiers, and the water disperses as the Titans get back on the ground.

Red Arrow

Super uncomfortable.

Cyborg

I’m made of metal, you can take it or leave it.

Overwhelmed and out of breath, Ravager and Lady Vic stare at the triumphant Titans.

Robin

Well? What’s your move?

Ravager screams and tries to charge the Titans, but Lady Vic holds her back.

Lady Vic

Another day, children.

She throws a smoke bomb at the ground, and they disappear.

Aqualad

How are we doing?

Robin

We’re fine. Well done Garth.

Aqualad

Don’t mention it. So uh, what’s the guarantee on these aliens returning for revenge.

Kori

I’m about to make it as close to 0 percent as I can.

Kori picks up the transmitter and dials Komand'r.

Kori

Sister! Look at how we’ve defeated your army. I know you’re short on troops, and I know you’re short on loyalty. You will leave me and this planet alone, or you will face the consequences. You know you can’t sustain this much longer.

Komand'r pauses. Taking this information in.

Komand'r

Fine. I’ll call a ceasefire. For now. But you step foot on my planet, no, if you step foot in the Vega System ever again, I will incinerate that pebble of a planet you now have to call your home. Goodbye sister.

Komand'r cuts the transmission, while Kori looks saddened. Robin comforts her, grabbing her shoulder.

Robin

I know what it’s like. Having to lose your entire home. Your family.

Kori

Yeah? And how were you able to get over it?

Robin

Found a new home. New family. You can too. Teen Titans, how are we feeling about a new recruit?

Kid Flash

I mean, we could definitely use her help.

Wonder Girl

We could always use more women. Alot more.

Aqualad

I say we let her in.

Robin

Great. And Roy?

Red Arrow

Majority rules. But aren’t we gonna invite machine head over here too?

Cyborg

Hilarious, but I’m actually needed back home. Doom Patrol business.

Robin

Need some help?

Cyborg

Nah, nah, well, I don’t know. You guys seem to have a lot on your hands.

Wonder Girl

Which is why we have multiple. Garth and I can come with you, help against whatever it is.

Cyborg

You serious?

Aqualad

Of course we’ll help. Can’t just stand by and watch.

Cyborg

All right, then we better get going. Chief says it’s urgent.

The trio leave the warehouse.

Robin

Well. With that being said, welcome to the Titans Kory.

Kori

We have codenames, yes?

Robin

Well, I mean-

Kid Flash

Yeah. It’s the best part.

Kori

On Tamaran, my royal title was Starfire. I’d like to be referred as to that.

Robin

Well, okay. Welcome to the team Starfire.

Meanwhile, Lady Vic and Ravager appear at the Hive HQ before Deathstroke, soaking wet.

Deathstroke

Let me guess, you’ve failed me.

Lady Vic

Deathstroke, we-

Deathstroke

Leave. I’d like to speak with my daughter alone.

Vic leaves the room.

Ravager

Father, I-

Deathstroke

You’ve failed me. Again.

Ravager

If you give me a chance to explain, I’m sure I can-

Deathstroke takes off his helmet.

Deathstroke

It isn’t your fault. It can’t be. Follow me.

The two walk down a corridor to an empty lab with giant test tubes filled with water.

Deathstroke

Back in my days of being a military contract, I was tested on. They turned me into the optimal soldier. Peak human condition for the rest of my lifespan, with a little extra gift. I can see seconds into the future. Doesn’t sound like much, but I promise you it is lethal in the field. Ironically, I lost one eye during the procedure. The same will likely happen to you.

Ravager

What?

Deathstroke

Prove your loyalty to your father. To this organization. Undergo the experiment and become just like me.

Ravager

But I- I really can’t just-

Deathstroke

Listen to me, I am not forcing you to do anything. But if you really want to prove you belong among us, you need to be the best. And frankly, 3 years of training hasn’t given you that, not even from me.

Ravager

Of course I am loyal, I’ve done anything you asked of me! But there must be another way

Deathstroke

There is no other way. Undergo the experiment or leave these premises. It’s that simple.

Ravager gives it some thought, and finally decides.

Ravager

When can I start?
