Titans - Rising Robin & Invasion! Crossover Fanfic (Flash x Arrow x LoT)

Chapter XVI: War

Richard walked alongside Tim & Roy as the rest of the Titans followed behind, along with the new additions to the team. Richard surveyed the warehouse, suspicious as to why the Dominators' were held up in this specific location. It seemed strange. For a race of aliens that clearly did not come in peace, why would their first instinct be to hide out in an abandoned warehouse? They had as much creativity as a drug dealer with gangbangers.

After retrieving M'gann M'orzz from the parallel universe, the team had begun to train amongst one another. Some Titans needed to familiarize themselves with combat training in their mystical sorcery. Some needed training in hand to hand combat. Some needed to know what it was like to have more than a few aliens on their own side when fighting the Dominators. However, after merely a few hours of training, the team had received a booming signal from an obscure source. They knew it was from the Dominators; it was in a technical code that almost no one could decipher. The Titans took this as the opportunity to deal with the threat right away. Everyone suited up, & prepared for war with the Dominators. The Titans managed to locate the booming signal to the warehouse all the way out in Jump City late at night.

"I don't get it," Roy called out. "Why would the Dominators just send us a signal?"

"It was an invitation," Logan called out. "They wanted to finally meet the famous Titans!" The group turned & glared at Logan in annoyance. Logan scoffed jokingly. "What, you don't think these killer aliens could've heard of Earthly stories about us Titans kicking ass?"

"Hey, Logan," Victor growled. "Shut up."

The young boy suddenly shut his mouth. It was remarkable what kind of control Cyborg had over Changeling. Richard admired their brotherly relationship. It reminded him of his own relationship with Tim, except Tim was almost easier to maintain. Almost. He was still just an overly eager kid. In fact, he sort of saw Tim's enthusiastic attitude within the new speedster, Wally.

As the Titans examined the abandoned warehouse, Richard noticed Wally approaching the new archer, Evelyn. Wally cleared his throat. "Hey," he said softly. "I'm Wally."

Evelyn, with her arrow drawn back in her bow, didn't even glance over at the young boy. She simply nodded. "Hey," she said softly back.

Wally bit his lip, glancing around for an answer as to how he should approach this girl. He cleared his throat & tried again. "So, I heard you trained with the Green Arrow?"

"Yeah, I guess you heard right," Evelyn grunted.

Wally arched his eyebrow at young Evelyn with discouragement, then casually walked away from her. He walked, passing by Logan. Logan nodded towards Wally & smiled. "It's okay, man. I can show you how to talk to babes," Logan said.

Wally grinned as Logan wiped his shoulders confidently, then made his way to Rachel. Rachel had her hooded cloak over her body, doing her best to ignore the green boy's presence. Logan smiled, nudging Rachel. "Hey, baby. You know, the only thing out here more beautiful than the big bright moon tonight is you."

Rachel slowly turned to Logan & glared at him. "I've never vomited, Logan. Ever. Keep this up, & I just might hurl for the first time."

Rachel suddenly began to levitate, with her feet glowing purple, & began to float away slowly. Logan nodded with a large grin, nodding over to Rachel. "Yeah, okay, I'll catch you later, babe!" he called out. He sighed in defeat, turning to Wally, who was snickering to himself. "Shut up," he grunted at Wally.

Richard sighed. He began to focus on anything that may be suspicious within the warehouse. So far, everyone was distracted, & the warehouse actually appeared to be empty. However, Richard needed to be thorough. Richard had to be sure that this wasn't the place where the Dominators were.
