Bit of an odd one here, at least in terms of story. Seems this is billed as a secret tale, in that it wasn't reveled until now, but the series is only four issues in, so it's not like they would be reveling that much. From a story perspective I suppose this takes place before Brave and the Bold I#60. We do finally see Speedy formerly join.
The Titans have a two part mission. First, they get contacted by Ted Bradley. His son David is both an Olympic hopeful and he's missing. The second part comes from Uncle Sam as it seems the ruthless terrorist organization DIABLO wants to ruin the upcoming Olympics in Tokyo.
They solve the first part easy enough, as it seems David is simply hiding out from his father. He wants to run though but he's so scared of his old man, specifically what his dad would do if he lost, that he doesn't want to run. They get David to run in a disguise.
They also get captured by DIABLO agents and Speedy gets tricked into nearly killing them, but thankfully David manages to outrun Kravik (agent disguised as a runner) and stop Speedy.
