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!"

Mitzi was lounging around the Tower, trying not to be bored senseless. She didn't feel like practicing any more cantrips or spells. Having Lady Jo in her head was still weird after all of these months, because Mitzi often felt like she could still hear her from time to time. Usually it was in the middle of the night when she'd been sleeping and Mitzi would wake up and freak out a little because sleep still didn't come easy for her.

A lot of times, she thought about Ryan.

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.

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.

Home, finally.  Don was really, really happy to be home.  As much as he liked being a member of the Young Justice League, he needed a rest from the recent outbreak of mayhem and crazy.  Luckily, good ol' Philly didn't have anything extra to deal with.  It was normal, and welcoming.  Don took this chance to sit back on the couch and open a book.  He was reading his favorite book, The Three Musketeers, by Alexandre Dumas.

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.
