Tsukuyomi and the rest of the Teen Titans meet up with Dr. Roquette at a nearby warehouse. The hunted Doctor was less than confident upon seen the Titans.

Roquette: I thought I was going to help from the League! Instead they send kids!

Robin: The League had other matters to deal with. 

Roquette: Excuse me if that doesn't raise my confidence.

Beast Boy: A little appreciation would be nice....

Artemis then elbows Beast Boy to quiet him down. Tsukuyomi began to feel annoyed at Roquette's attitude. Dark Shadow then appeared to voice that.

Dark Shadow: You know we have a right to refuse service?! We can just leave you to deal with whoever's chasing ya down! 

Tsukuyomi: Dark Shadow! Enough! 

Cyborg: I know weren't exactly your best option, but we're the best you got right now! 

Starfire: We will do our very best to keep you safe!

Roquette: We need to neutralize the Fog! We can do that from my lab at Gotham University! 

Robin: Then let's go!

The Titans soon escorted Dr. Roquette to Gotham University where she gets on a computer and attempts to locate the Fog. Robin and Cyborg would wait on standby while the others stayed to protect Dr. Roquette. Tsukuyomi was in charge with the protection team. 

Tsukuyomi: Starfire and Beast Boy will patrol outside. Raven and Artemis will stay with me! 

Starfire and Beast Boy left the lab to patrol outside. As time went on, things seemed quiet. Too quiet.

Tsukuyomi: How close are we to tracking it?

Roquette: This takes time! This isn't as simple as it looks!

As Roquette says that, Tsukuyomi sees a later sight aiming at Roquette's head. He quickly summons Dark Shadow to take the shot. He then commands Dark Shadow to hit the room to block the window's view.

Tsukuyomi: Assassins! Raven! Artemis! 

Suddenly, Deathstroke and Cheshire attack Tsukuyomi. He was able to fend them off with the help of Dark Shadow.

Cheshire: My my aren't you interesting! 

Deathstroke: Enough fooling around Cheshire! Move aside hero. We have a contract with Dr. Roquette. 

Tsukuyomi: You're going to have to go through me!

CheshireL That's the idea!

As Cheshire attempts to attack, Artemis fires an arrow at Cheshire. Cheshire grabs it and is amused. 

Cheshire: This gets better and better! I'll handle little miss Green Arrow! You can handle the rest!

Cheshire then chases after Artemis. Raven soon joins Tsukuyomi in his fight against Deathstroke. The experienced assassin pulls out his Promethieum sword and inspects his opponents. 

Deathstroke: If you two are not going to let me do my job, then I'm going to have to apply force!

Raven: Good luck with that. Azarath Metrion Zinthos!

After saying the incantation, Raven unleashes blasts of dark energy at Deathstroke. Using his enhanced reflexes, Deathstroke dodges them. Deathstroke then pulls out his Remote Claw and shoots a claw at Raven an a nearby crate. The crate is then launched at Raven, knocking her down.

Tsukuyomi: Raven!

Tsukuyomi then pulls out his staff and attacks him along with Dark Shadow. Both were unable to land a hit onto Deathstroke, who then kicks Tsukuyomi down.
