League or Titans

After sending off the unnecessary members of the team the rest of us stood there waiting on the league. Block Buster was laying there already awake yet unable to open the cuffs.

"What are those made of by the way? Can I get some?" Robin asked pointing at the cuffs "No tech just pure metal able to handle this strength I've never heard of it."

"Now that you mention it where were you carrying those dude? That's a dope party trick" Wally added.

Trying not to be proud I answered them "It's my own formula called Adamantium once cast its unbreakable. Just one of the many metals I made. If you want some I'll pull off a piece for you, though I think you'd love Vibranium more."

"Oh, what's Vibranium" Robin asked.

"Since the League is taking their time I don't see why I can't do a demonstration. How about it y'all wanna play a game?"

All the youths on the scene, Robin, Aqualad, Kid Flash, Artemis, Cheshire, and Superboy all seemed interested. As Raven just kept silent watching everyone. With almost matching grins we moved a bit out of the main road and each took a roof. Let the game begin.

*Bruce Wayne The Batman Pov*

As the members of the League gathered on Cadmus after dealing with Wotan, I kept thinking about earlier. The protégés need a platform of their own in order to grow. Originally they were supposed to be grouped together mentoring under different League members, yet Roy's performance this morning shed new light.

These kids won't want to be under us forever but even then can the league have a place for them as long as their mentors haven't retired?

"Superman to League, I'm hearing sounds ahead at Cadmus I'll take a step first."

Before anyone could or want to respond the krptonian had already sped off. We weren't too far off from him so we didn't take it seriously. At least until I came pulled up and saw Superman and some of the other faster fliers just floating there dumbfounded.

Looking down I see our proteges along with some other younger capes swatting what seemed to be a glowing purple ball with metal tennis rackets. The worst part being every hit makes the ball fly faster. Almost like instead of them hitting it harder it's absorbing their impacts and transfers it to itself.

Off to the side I see what seems to be the peanut gallery, a girl in a robe and is that?

"SPEEDY!"

Arrow didn't hesitate and used his own methods to make it down to the rooftop. "Roy your arm, what happened to you? Your gear, how.."

Looking at Roy I noticed some inconsistencies with how he seemed this morning. Younger, more haggard, slight cases of hypothermia, plus that arm is not a fresh wound.

Arrow mother birded Roy as I took a second look around at the new faces, none recognizable until I see the face that had Superman paralyzed in the atmosphere.

"Roy here hasn't really spoken much how about I explain what we know." Tall, athletic, carries himself with no fear of the League, plus clearly the leader of this unknown group of young supers. Voice alone places him in his late teens early twenties at the latest. "Blue Marvel, leader of the Titans. After one of ours was taken by Cadmus, after tracking him here we entered the building. The above grounds is public labs, but underground goes about minimum 50 stories with a lot of lead mixed in. Around the lowest floor we found multiple influential or famous youth frozen and most likely already cloned including Roy here. Speaking of which this Guardian here is another Roy Harper just way older for some reason. In addition this Grey guy 'BlockBuster' is the head of this place and now mutated."

*Adam Brasher*

"And that's about all of the important stuff. All in all I'll take my people back it's been a long day and we need to start rearranging things back home."

"Wait a minute," I stop and turn back at Batman who walked up and handed me a communicator "The League will be in touch. Thanks for the assistance Titans."

With a smile on my face I wave back to the big guys and turn to the young protégés and superboy who was still staring at Superman. "You guys are cool, in the near future, maybe next weekend we'll invite you to Titans Tower. After all Titans is currently the largest gathering of super teens on an island that can handle their gifts. So don't be a stranger. After all we've even got Atlanteans and Amazons."

With that Raven's shadow covered all of us up and took us away. Part of the reason she stayed behind was to stop Zatara from reverse tracking her teleportation up close. After we left I knew the League would do their own investigations but no way to stick around when skull island needs to arrange the new guests.

After the darkness faded away we were standing in front of Titans tower. The girls immediately took off their masks and made themselves comfortable while Raven went to look for her room. I did a quick scan of the island to find peoples. Gizmo is in the basement, Artemis, Raven and Cheshire are in the elevators, Jayna and Zan were in two rooms next to each other most likely showering, ah found Kori and the Gnomes on the other side of the island.

I flew over and saw G trolls clearing out space of their future home I guess. Kori was standing there with Kong overlooking the construction or probably just having fun with the big monkey. Making my way down I caught everyone's attention probably due to being blue at night.

"Friend Adam you are back!! The G Gnomes have started planning their homes and most of it will be underground. But friend Zatanna said she had to get home before her father."

Kori had flew really close probably her feline instincts to rub on me if she could. Knowing she wants praise for handling the Gnomes I brought my hand up and rub her head to her bliss. "Thank you for your hard work Kori. After we get the Gnomes settled I'll be sending a global Titan alert to pick up our permanent residents. Other than that Titan tow-"

*BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP*

Taking out my circular yellow communicator an image showed up on the screen. "Titans this is Hotspot. I'm in France there's some weird magic lady and a monkey with a brain in a jar, they caught Wildebeest and Pantha I'm running now, find the Doom Patrol I skrrrcz."

Seeing the screen cut off both Adam and Kori look at each other. "Friend Adam, what is the Patrol of Doom, do they have our friend Hotspot?"

"That Kori is what we're going to find out."

*DICK GREYSON THE ROBIN POV*

Back in the hall of justice after recapping and being lectured by the League me and the others are sitting around here as they make arrangements, treating us like kids again.

"This is so lame! We totally solved Cadmus why are we benched! And I can't believe Batman took your cool metal stick like that! Just because Blue took back his, humph.!"

"Wally patience is a virtue, our diligence is to ourselves and we shall always reap the benefits of our own efforts."

"Very philosophical Khal but that doesn't really work well for SB over there about to go crazy stuck here."

"Well maybe we can"

But aqualad was cut off as a BEEP came out of my pocket. Under the confused gazes of my teammates I pulled out a yellow communicator Blue Marvel slipped me earlier. Seeing it even superboy brought his eyes to it as the screen lit up.

A boy of Hispanic descent showed up on the screen as he gave his brief S.O.S. and the video ended with him turning his skin to magma refreshing Robin's knowledge of the Titans. Wildebeest and Pantha two more Titans that he doesn't know but he didn't need to know them to know being captured isn't a good thing.

"What should we do?" Wally asked

"Should we turn it in to the league?" Khal added.

"No," I say as they look at me "This isn't a League affair, it's a Titan affair they won't appreciate getting the league involved without them taking action. Plus..."

"Plus what?" Aqualad asked as Superboy walked closer.

I held up the communicator that now had a new message.

Blue Marvel to Robin: You and your crew interested?

The boys looked up at each other with a smirk and without hesitation I answered "Send a Ride"

Meanwhile also in the Hall of Justice unknown to the four protégés there were two figures floating there invisible and intangibile as they communicated psychically.

"Are you sure we shouldn't stop them uncle?"

"Worry not. Instead this is a good chance for you, follow them and get involved maybe you might just find your place amongst their group after all you have a lot of potential that you won't realize in my shadow."

"I understand Uncle. I'll do my best." The smaller, petite and curved figure out of the duo made a salute and slowly sunk into the floor as she followed the younglings under the watchful eye of the Martian Manhunter.
