Nearing the end and right in time for a major shake-up.
The Titans are relaxing at a disco when a go-go dancer, Lilith, warns them that they will open the door to death.
They brush her off and report to their next assignment. Seems Dr. Swenson is making a speech and some protesters ain't happy. Why are they protesting him?
'cuz they are protestors. It's in the name daddy-o.
Things heat up real fast and Dr. Swenson takes a slug to the brain as Kid Flash, Speedy, Wonder Girl (plus Hawk from Hawk & Dove) wrestle with one particular protestor and he manages to get a shot off. Which begs the question of how freaking strong was this guy?
I mean, Speedy is just a normal human, but Wonder Girl is an Amazon plus Hawk and Dove are superhuman. How can this guy move?
So the JLA come down on the Titans, basically saying they all had a hand on Swenson's death. Seems like they should be blaming the guy who shot him, but what do I know?
In steps Mr. Juipter and out steps Robin. Yeah, Robin formerly quits the team during this, but who is Mr. Jupiter? Why, only the richest man in the world. He wants the Titans to work for him, solving teen problems. Kid Flash agrees on the condition they don't use their powers.
Would like to know how Wonder Girl is going to manage that, plus Hawk and Dove (since their powers only activated when they are in danger). So with the protestors swiftly forgotten, we now embark on a new chapter in the Titans.
