The Titans is a super group in the DC Universe that center around some of the original teen titans along with titans of the Wolfman/Perez era. These friends were like family and have come together once more to make a new Titans team in based in New York.
The Fickle Hand
The Titans are brought together because they suddenly start being attacked in mysterious ways. First Nightwing is scaling the roofs of Gotham City going to the one of many safe houses Bruce has set up. When Dick gets there he knows something just isn't right, he jumps out the window, and as he does, the building explodes he then falls into an alley with several masked and unknown guys wielding weapons. Then Starfire whom is staying with Animal Man and his family is sunbathing in the backyard by the pool. All of a sudden a huge worm like monster comes from out of the water. Then we go to a high school where Raven is going to school in her secret identity as Rachel Roth. She is walking down the stairs with some friends when she looks behind her to see this prehistoric horned creature breathing fire. Red Arrow who is on his bike talking to his daughter, then these stone like spikes keep trying to kill him as he drives by. Then we are at the headquarters of the doom patrol where beast boy is now leading, and all of a sudden lava starts to ooze out of every where. He turns into a flying squirrel and gets out of there. Donna Troy is in space with Kyle Rayner when they are attacked by tentacles. Wally West gets in the shower and some goo like substance tries to consume him. The rest of the titans meet up. they know who has done this. Trigon has returned.
Family Affair
Now at their base of operations where Cyborg now resides in a floating wheelchair (due to him having and waiting on his new legs). Beast Boy is not his usual joking self because of the recent disaster of the Titans. Cyborg says there was something fishy about Powerboy's death. In the mean time Raven is using an astral projection to go to Trigon's realm. She finds the realm a barren wasteland. Trigon is in a weakened state due to him having to fend off other-worldly raiders. When Raven tries to escape from Trigon's realm, the Titans Tower is struck by an earthquake. The team tries to save her but only the well placed bomb-arrow from Roy saves her. Raven isn't too pleased by the way Roy had saved her, but is more worried that Trigon isn't working alone anymore. Raven then tells the other of his plans and that he seems to have had another child. Starfire asks why he would want to kill all the titans. Raven says there is magic in names. They have been the only ones to ever beat him. Raven says that when she was near Trigon she was able to physically pick up the names of three other brides Trigon had. They set out to find them.
Flash and Donna discover that the lady they are looking for has been dead for almost three years, and no record of her death. Flash then mentions how it's sad not having contacts or family. He also states that Donna knows what that’s like. They fight about family. Flash says that being married, and having kids is a lot of work. Donna says she'd give up anything to have her husband and son back. They continue fighting until interrupted by Cyborg.
Meanwhile Nightwing and Starfire visit the former home of the second wife. The neighbours tell them that she has been dead for about two years, but are uncertain if she had any kids. Starfire says it's sad to die alone. She tells Dick that when she's alone she thinks of him. Dick then replies he thinks of her when he's not alone. Costumes start coming off and they roll behind some boxes.
Red Arrow, Raven, and Beast Boy visit the husband of the third wife. They are told she died about four years ago from a brain aneurysm. Raven, who right now is edgy, bluntly asks if she had kids with him or anyone else. The man starts to get offended, but Raven just keeps going and gets in his face. The woman changed her name twice and there was no record of her death. Beast boy pulls her out.
Once their outside Raven insists that the man was hiding something. Soon Raven and Beast Boy are trading insults and strikes. Roy has no chance but to shoot beast boy, who is now in the form of a giant bear. He's about to shoot when Nightwing uses a batarang to stop him, Wally picks up Raven away from the fight, and Donna helps beast boy off the ground. Donna says how they have been acting out of character. They have been caught up in lust, rage, and envy. Three of the deadly sins. A voice says it's one for each of them.
Three of Trigon's sons are there. All the titans are in shock. The Sons of Trigon continuously beat on the Titans until finally they use Beast boy and Raven to open a portal to Trigon’s realm. Raven then uses her own powers of greed to make her half-brothers steal what little power trigon had left. The portal then closes, and Trigon’s sons, believing they have gained great power leave the titans. Raven then starts sulking in her dorm half out of it when Beast Boy comes to see her in the form of a giant bear. Raven keeps freaking out that she is trying to keep her secret identity a secret. Beast Boy tells her to relax he told her classmates that he was a singing telegram. Raven asks why he's there. Beast Boy replies " Look you have literally been through hell and back, I just want to talk with you. Let’s walk, let’s talk." She asks if it's a date then he starts freaking out saying her wants to just go somewhere and talk. Raven asks where? Beast Boy replies wherever you want.
Meanwhile back at Titans Tower Wally, Roy, and Donna are sitting around. Then Cyborg comes out with his brand new legs. Cyborg tells them that it wasn't necessary for them to be here. Roy says that the whole team was supposed to be there. Nightwing and Starfire are in the hot tub. Dick says that he likes being back at Titan’s Tower, that it feels like home. Dick says they should talk about what happened. Kory says it was just Trigon’s son. She then says that they should not let it happen again. Starfire then asks dick if he loves her, dick says no. Kory then kisses her and exits the hot tub.
At the docks Raven and Beast Boy are eating pizza. Raven tells Beast Boy that eating like that was nasty. Beast Boy says he was literally as hungry as bear. Raven then explains that she can't contain the evil inside her that she thinks about killing the titans. Beast Boy asks why she would want to. Raven then yells because I'm wrong!! The sons of Trigon then show up and Raven uppercuts' Beast Boy. Beast Boy tries with all his might to stop them from taking her, but he is beaten to a pulp. The four of them then teleport away leaving Beast Boy at the docks.
Together with the Sons of Trigon they are the seven deadly sins. Raven is meditating when the Titans come to this realm to rescue her. The sons of Trigon take the Titans out quick, then Raven attacks sloth, saying that she is the original sin, pride, and that the titans will take their place. She then knocks out the Sons of Trigon, she starts turning the titans into the deadly sins when, from Donna’s belt comes a ruby with part of ravens soul in it. Raven then tells "pride Raven" that she is facing her greatest fear, herself. Raven beats herself and they are teleported home. Raven then tells the team that she is afraid of what she is and the only way she will stay on the team is if they keep a magical artefact that will kill her. Then Match shows up at the base saying that it's Jericho and Match is in charge.
Cyborg then hooks match up to the computers to see what he can do. Beast Boy and Raven are at the computer and he asks here if it's really him. Raven replies that Dick and Donna asked him about seventy questions only Jericho would know. Jericho then losses control of Match again and throw Victor through the door, saying that he's still in there, and he can't stop him. Donna then tells him to work on the inside, and they will take care of the outside. They have an extensive battle, then finally he is put under raven's cloak to stun match, then by using his arm cannon Cyborg separates Jericho from match. Raven then says that match wasn't in control, Jericho was, and then Jericho makes contact and is in one of the titans.
Cyborg then accesses the tower's computers to put it in lockdown so no one can get out. The team then discusses that Jericho could be hiding in them without anyone knowing. Cyborg then says they need to do their interviews to see who is who. Beast Boy says he forgot but he will use his from the Teen Titans. They then go into a booth and reveal secrets about themselves. Everyone passes, so Cyborg gets a ray gun that will force Jericho out. Nightwing says they should go two at a time. Cyborg says he will go first with Roy. However, just as Donna is about to blast them Jericho is behind them, so Cyborg lunges at him and Joey uppercuts him, sending Cic flying. They keep battling Joey and one by one he gets the better of them. The team finally gets the power damper around his neck but he breaks out and brings the whole tower down. The Titans are laying on the ground and Dick asks why are you killing us. He says he's not this was all in you're head.
