Just Outside Metropolis.....


Eventually, the Kryptonian girl stopped struggling.

They'd taken her unaware and she'd still crippled nearly a dozen of the Parademons he'd brought to complete the mission. Still, as she slumps the ground unconscious, Desaad smiles. The master will be happy for the success, if only because they'd taken the daughter of the hated Kryptonian. When they were done with her, the rage of the one called Superman would peak beyond anything ever seen. His anger would be legendary.

Darkseid had foreseen it, so it would come to pass.

Take the girl. She is needed on Apokolips." Desaad says, opening the Boom Tube back to the homeworld. One of the Parademons lifts Jo Kent and drags her into the portal with little issue.

"I have another to find." he says, motioning to the others.

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.

Lily was in the training room at Titan's East Tower. Other people found different ways to unwind, but this was what she did. There was something about workouts that soothed her. She chalked it up to having something to do with her training on Temyscira.

Sometimes, patrols can be stressful. And while she'd normally go home and take a hot bath and curl up with some chocolate, Lily didn't feel like doing that tonight. Which was why she was currently in the training room, going to town on the simulator. She dodged lasers and punched robots.

Lily had barely broken a sweat when she was done. She took a long sip from her water bottle, before going off to shower. When she was done, Lily made her way into the kitchen, deciding to make herself a snack. She was feeling a lot less on edge, and late night snacks were a great ending to the day.

Bugsy and Boo popped into the 3rd Dimension with a fanfare of trumpets followed by confetti and firecrackers. They arrived in an empty room.

"Huh? What happened? Where are Blue and Gold? This is the right dimension, right?" Boo asked as he looked around.

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.

Lily looked at her neck in a mirror she had managed to find.

Mitzi had helped with the slowing of the wound where her "brother" had bitten her, but it was still growing...slowly. And it didn't exactly look pleasant. Her skin on her neck looked like it was rotting, and while it hurt a lot less than when she was first bitten, there was still a throbbing pain.

Not to mention that it itched like hell.

For now, the Titans were safe in the hangar in the hangar at Kord...but for how long?

Lily knew one thing, though. If she was going down, she wasn't going down without a fight.

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.

Invites had been sent to the YJLA, JSA, Teen Titans, Outsiders, Birds of Prey, Shadowpact, and anyone affiliated with the various teams.

Once again, the time had come for the annual Christmas party at the Justice League Watchtower. The entire Watchtower had been decorated for the holiday, and there was more food than anyone could ever hope to eat. Some heroes attended in costume, while some were out. A giant tree stood in the center of the room, having been decorated earlier that day. There was also mistletoe, hidden in several clever locations.

It was time for everyone to celebrate and be with friends, and forget about any worries for a little while.
