Now
The bike pulled up outside The Titans Tower- a giant tower consisting of the adolescent heroes. The Teen Titans' roster is ever changing, with the current roster including heroes such as Red Robin, Starfire, Arsenal, Troia and Kid Devil as well as anti-heroes like Ravager and The Joker's Daughter.
"Why are we 'ere, Mistah Hood?" asked Harley, inquisitively.
"To run an errand, from an old... mentor."
"Would I know them, Mistah Hood?"
"Maybe..." he responded, quickly.
"Well... Who?" she replied.
"Deathstroke The Terminator."
"He annoyed my puddin' years ago. But I've given up on Mistah J. Did ya' see what he did to me?"
"I don't have time for this, Harley, we need to hurry up," answered Red Hood, with a sigh.
They walked up to the front door, which was automatic. It opened. Seated at the reception desk, was a young woman. The card in her cardholder said: "Lilith". Her eyes met Harley's, as she pressed down the alert button.
"Oh $#!€, they know we're here!" yelled Harley, "let's kill them all whilst we have the chance!"
"No. I need to talk to Arsenal and Starfire, you try to negotiate with Lilith and the others.... Good luck... I guess," replied Red Hood.
"Okay, babe," said Harley, blowing a kiss. He walked to the elevator, pressing the button to call it down.
"So.... Hey Lilith! Are ya' the Titans' little bitch?" asked Harley.
"Oh hey, Harley Quinn! I thought you were the Joker's bitch. Correct me if I'm wrong, but who's this Red Hood? Are you his bitch too?" answered Lilith with a hint of a smug grin.
"Two can play at this game, Lilith."
Lilith laughed.
"Er, Harley, you do know she can read your mind?" said Red Hood.
Harley went bright red. As red of the left side of her hair. The elevator arrived. Red Hood stepped in, turning around to see Harley pulling Lilith's hair.
"Play nice!" shouted Red Hood as the doors slammed close.

Eleven Years Ago
"Hello?" said Jason, turning on the light switch.
"Happy Birthday!!!" shouted everyone. The Teen Titans had thrown him a party
"Aw, gee, thanks guys, but I'm not really in the party mood," responded Jason, the young Robin.
"Why?" asked Terra.
"Are you okay, earth-boy?" Starfire asked.
"I'm fine, really!" replied Jason.
"Then what's wrong?" said Nightwing.
"Well, I have a confession," answered Jason.
"Continue."
"Well... Me and... Er... Basically.... Deathstroke has been paying me to go undercover with The Titans."
"What? Robin? You've betrayed us?! How could you do that!?" snapped Terra.
"I'm not the only person. Tara Markov is not as she seems," said Jason, pointing at Terra.
"Get out! Both of you!" shouted Nightwing, "Wait till Batman hears of this!"
Terra's eyes gleamed.
"Oh shut up, Dick!" exclaimed Terra, lifting the Titans' Tower, up and up with the ground raising high in the sky.
"Tara, Deathstroke wasn't there for us!" yelled Jason.
"At least I'm sticking with him! He helped me push my powers past their limits! H.I.V.E were a better family to us than the Titans ever were! You, Jason Todd, have betrayed us!"
"The Titans are my true family!"
"They'll never accept you back!"
"At least I have a better chance than you!" yelled Jason, punching Terra in the face. She fell to the floor. All the other Titans were unconscious, because of the implants Jason and Tara had put in their necks, earlier.
Tara realised her nose was gushing with blood.
"I'm weak! Help me, Jason!" cried Tara.
"No," said Jason, with no remorse, as he kicked her out of the window. She fell. The ground opened up, consuming her into the depths of the Earth. No more to be seen of Terra.
The Titans awoke.
"Get out, Robin," said Cyborg sternly.
"I-I saved you all, y-you should be thankful!" replied Jason.
Giving in, he stormed out of the room, and out of the way of The Titans.
