Journey of Revelation Ch. 1

Titans Tower (Main)

Robin was in his room working on the new tracking system that he and Cyborg had prepared after the Brotherhood of Evil. Ever since the attack, they had discovered new criminals from all around the world that were at the large battle between the Titans and the BOE. Though, most were frozen at the BOE base, which was now heavily guarded, criminals had found ways through the police to free their friends. Surprisingly, no one had freed the Brain, Madame Rouge, or their Gorilla friend. Well, maybe it wasn't really a surprise; the Brain and Rouge had treated everyone like slaves and only used them. So no wonder no one helped them. Only a few criminals had escaped, mostly teen Hive members; Seemore, Mammoth, Gizmo, Billy Numerous, Kid Wykked, and a couple others. Robin didn't worry too much about them, except for the occasional bank robbery. They weren't the kind to actually kill anyone, they just saw no other way to live, no one to guide them. So since Jinx had left, they were disorganized as ever, no real leader, and no real plans.
Robin put in the finishing details, before moving on to the latest report from Beast Boy about a week ago, that Slade may be back. Robin's muscles tightened when he read the name, the one who almost killed him and his friends, along with the rest of the city. 'How could he be back? I thought we killed him a long time ago…' Slade has been the few villains that the Titans actually saw as a threat, along with BOE. Robin read through the report:
• Beast boy was at the long-standing carnival on the pier at 20:00 hours
was in the mirror house when he heard Slade's voice and soon he
appeared in the mirrors.
• Beast boy tried to attack, failed, and "Slade" appeared
in front of him. Beast boy finally managed to pin him and attack him, destroying his face.
• It was merely a robot…not sure who sent it or built it.
• Mentioned Terra did not want to see him anymore
• Could converse with Beast Boy
• Maybe under control of someone while functioning.
• Threat level: Unknown
Robin grinded his teeth and squeezed his hands in confusion. 'Who could build an exact replica of Slade? How do they know Terra? It just doesn't make any sense, is he dead or alive?'

Robin jumped when someone knocked on his bedroom door, "Robin?" It was Starfire, his best friend and girlfriend.
"Come in Star!" Robin replied while putting away the records and shutting down the computer.
Starfire walked in with the phone in her hand.
"Robin, I believe someone named the Flash is on the phone, he would like to speak to you." Starfire handed him the phone, while looking at Robin, curious who the "Flash" is.
"Thanks." Robin reluctantly took the phone, not wanting to converse with those of the Justice League. Robin respected them and got along fine with Flash, but whenever they called, it meant Batman maybe wanting to speak to him too.
"Hello?"
"Robin! Hey, how are you doing?" Flash responded heartily.
"Um, I'm doing good, just going over criminal reports, the usual." Robin smiled slightly, relaxing that the Flash sounded happy.
"What's up?"
"Well, I need you to do something for me."
"Sure, what is it?" Robin's heart skipped a beat, worrying if Batman is involved.
"I need you to call all Titans to your base for an important and mandatory meeting." Flash responded fervently.
"Is there something wrong?" Robin asked.
"Not exactly, just more of a new protocol that has been added by the Justice League." Flash replies reluctantly.
"Okay, I will call them right away, see you soon?"
"Yup, I will be there around seven tonight. See ya Robin." There is a click on the other side of the line.
"Is everything okay Robin?" Starfire asked carefully, aware that he looked tense.
"Um yeah Star, we are just having a meeting tonight with all the Titans, Flash will be here later to explain." Robin answers getting up with his communicator.
They walk out into the main room and he sends out a message to all Titans.
"Titans, there is a mandatory meeting tonight, Flash will be here to explain later, meet at the main tower tonight by 7. See you there." Robin reported with a knot in his stomach, knowing for some reason this meeting was not going to be good.
The Titans Tower was bustling as everyone was conversing with one another, eating free food, and watching the tournament going on between Cyborg, Beast Boy, Aqualad, and Speedy.
"BOOYAH!!! I beat you guys! My skills are on a roll today!" Cyborg cheered as he crossed the finish line on their racing game.
"You just got lucky Cyborg! If that stupid laser hadn't shot me from behind you wouldn't be the one cheering right now!" Speedy exclaimed. He was usually the winner at their house.
"Finally!! Someone who can beat Speedy!! It's so nice for him to get a taste of his own medicine!" Aqualad said sitting back with his hands behind his head.
"Were not done yet guys we got round three to determine it all!!" Beast boy pointed out and ready for the competition.
All of a sudden a whirl of wind came and stopped them from talking.
"Hey guys, whatcha playin?" Kid Flash asked with an eager look on his face.
"Hey Kid, just a racing game I picked up today. Want to watch, we already started the competition, so we can't add anyone else yet." Cyborg asked.
"Aww, I thought I came to the meeting on time!" Kid Flash said disappointed.
"Well, you should of gotten here earlier, you snooze you lose!" Speedy stated.
"Yeah, and anyway aren't you the fastest kid alive, you should have been here earlier?" Cyborg pointed out.
Kid Flash blushed. "Uhh… yeah…well… Jinx and I went out to dinner at our favorite restaurant in Paris and didn't realize the time. Heh heh…" Kid Flash said while rubbing the back of his head.
"0o0 I see, you and your girlfriend were having some fun!" Beast boy taunted.
"Yeah we were having fun! At least I have a girlfriend you guys! Though, it's not hard to believe." Kid Flash retorted with his arms crossed.
"Oh no, who wouldn't believe that!?" Cyborg said sarcastically.
"By the way where is she?" Aqualad added.
"She is over with Argent and Raven, you know, girl stuff." Kid Flash shrugged.
"Boo, no wonder you came over here, well you can sit with us." Cyborg said understandingly.
"Aw you guys are so kind." Kid Flash said with sarcasm.
"We know." Beast boy finished.

Over at the other side of the room…
"Hey Jinx!! Were glad you guys made it in time!" Argent called.
"Yeah, sorry that was a close one, Robin sure would've eaten me alive if I was late for this and keeping his best friend." Jinx sighed in relief.
Argent smiled, "So that's what you were doing."
Jinx slightly blushed, "We were on a date in Paris, of course it took longer to get here than from our home city." Jinx tried to explain.
"Don't worry about it Jinx, I will probably be doing the same thing when I find my man." Argent patted her on the shoulder.
"Thanks Argent, so….um….Raven do you know what the meeting is about?" Jinx asked, still kind of nervous around the telepathic girl.
Raven stared at her and replied, "Not too sure, Robin just said that the Justice League called and had some kind of new protocol going on." Raven shrugged.
"That's weird, the last time Justice League bothered with us, was before BOE took action. They don't seem too close to us. "Argent said crossing her arms and with a curious look on her face.
Jinx didn't say anything to this; she never really heard of the JL or knew what they were there for. All she knew was Kid Flash's uncle was part of it.
"Hi friends! What are you all talking about?" Starfire said as she landed amongst the girls.
"Hey Star, just wondering about the meeting is all." Argent smiles and shrugs.
"I'm not quite sure of this meeting either, but Robin seems a little worried about it." Starire frowns.
"But I'm sure everything will be fine." Starfire smiles.
"Someone's coming, and it's not one of us." Raven states with a concerned look on her face.
Everyone stops talking and looks towards the doors that sweep open. A figure walks in the room and stops in front of the group of young heroes.
"Hey kids! The Flash is here!" The Flash says with a warm smile on his face.
"Hey!!" Kid Flash exclaims and runs over to his uncle and gives him a hug.
"Hi Kid, you ready for a big surprise for you guys?" Flash states, though with a little hesitation.
Kid Flash smiles until he looks over at Robins face next to him; a look of fear.
"Robin?" Kid walks over and then sees what is terrifying him, or rather……who.
