Justice League vs. Teen Titans Page #2

---

This is going to be

an awkward call to Batman.

RAVEN:
Everyone get back.

By the powers of Azarath,

I beseech you.

Azarath, Metrion, Zinthos.

(GASPS)

We need to get her

back to her room.

Garfield?

BEAST BOY:
I've got her.

(GROANING)

What... What happened?

Raven healed you.

We have to tend to her.

Sorry.

CYBORG:
I knew you'd be here

working all night.

Thought you might be hungry.

BATMAN:
No, thanks.

Suit yourself.

Where does all that food go

if you don't have a stomach?

You don't wanna know.

What are you up to?

I've been combing through footage

from every camera on the grid.

And?

There's something odd.

Dark spots.

They're hard to make out.

Activate quadrant

pixel enhancement.

Show-off.

What is that? A shadow?

No, the sun direction

is wrong.

And look here,

it's disconnected from the surface.

It's mimicking a shadow.

It has intelligence.

It's wandering,

like it's looking for something.

Or someone.

There's where Weather Wizard

ran into it.

More like stepped in it.

You don't think

it was after him.

BATMAN:
No.

I don't.

Don't get me wrong,

I love catching up on popular culture

but the harsh language

was entirely unnecessary,

and the female lead seemed to only

be present in order to be rescued

by the leading man.

But all in all,

I found myself reasonably diverted.

Clark?

(GASPS)

DISTORTED VOICE:

Trigon lives.

- (GROANS)

- Are you all right?

Sorry, it's just...

I've got a lot on my mind

right now.

You can always share

your burdens with me, Clark.

Ugh, stay away from me.

(GRUNTING)

(YELPS)

(SNARLING) Hey!

What is wrong with you?

(MUFFLED) That is

very dangerous.

You could put out an eye

with that thing.

Didn't your mother tell you

never to play with knives?

RAVEN:
By the powers

of Azarath,

I beseech you.

Mother spirit

of the nether realm,

protect my

brothers and sister.

And give me strength to face the

dark force I fear is coming.

(FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING)

I suppose I should thank you

for healing me.

Um, you're welcome.

It was strange

having you in my head.

I felt you prying

into my entire life.

It was not appreciated.

I'm an empath, and if it

makes you feel any better,

I didn't see it

as much as felt it.

And I've been trying

to shake it off ever since.

Then you know I'm not meant to

be here at this stupid school.

I was groomed

for a higher calling.

My grandfather's...

I know all about

your grandfather.

I felt him. He was a demon.

And believe me,

I know my demons.

He was a great man.

We were going to make

the world stronger, better.

We were going

to rule it together.

I know all about

that game, too.

Now, I don't mean to be rude, but would

you mind getting the hell away from me?

You know, when you were in my head,

I could see things about you, too.

- Like what?

- It looked like a man.

But something more.

Who... What was that thing?

It was nothing, a nightmare.

It was real, I could tell.

It's none of your business.

Who are you to judge my life?

You have other things

to fix here.

Just stay away from me, okay?

BEAST BOY:
Steady...

Ah. Argh!

Can you please do that

anywhere else?

ROBIN:
Jaime?

Yeah?

Perhaps it was a mistake to challenge

you this morning without knowing

the full capacity

of your alien attachment.

I promise you,

it won't happen again.

Did he just say he's sorry?

Aw, see. He likes you.

- (THUDDING)

- (GRUNTING)

DISTORTED VOICE:

Trigon lives.

(ROARING)

(GROWLING)

(POLICE SIREN BLARING)

Atomic Skull.

We had quite a tumble

last year.

Still, I sensed you,

being a good guy and all, playing nice.

You won't have to this time.

I've gotten

a lot, lot, stronger.

You don't look so good.

(SHOUTING)

Okay, okay.

- (GROANING)

- (YELLING)

(TIRES SCREECHING)

He's barely alive, Clark,

what's wrong with you?

He's not himself.

What is that?

BATMAN:
Kryptonite.

Guess he doesn't

tell you everything.

(DISTORTED VOICE)

The rising is coming.

You cannot stop it.

Superman, someone

is controlling you.

You have your part to play.

Both of you.

The girl will be taken.

Girl?

Diana, wait!

- We cannot let him...

- I've alerted Trevor.

With any luck,

military satellites are tracking him now.

And what will we do?

Wait for him to... (SCOFFS)

Pull the moon

from the sky?

No, we'll get...

He hasn't said anything about doing

something like that, has he?

No, but...

We're both targets and for all we know,

so is the rest of the League.

Get back to that island

of yours

and lock yourself in the darkest,

deepest tomb you can find.

I'll call.

But Clark and I are...

You can't expect me to hide.

Was worth a shot.

- (KEYBOARD CLACKING)

- (COMPUTER BEEPING)

What are you doing in my room?

We have rules, Damian.

You never trespass

another person's space.

You have nothing on her.

No background, no history.

On who?

Raven.

You're the leader

of this group.

You should know everything

about her.

It's called "vetting."

She's 14.

No mother, no father.

She grew up in a hostile realm,

not unlike my own planet.

And she escaped, like I did.

We didn't know anything about

Raven when we took her in

except that she needed a home.

A place to grow.

I was taught that knowledge was power

and you knew nothing about her.

How much do you have to know

when people are in need?

Garfield was 11 when his genetics

kicked in and gave him green skin

and powers.

We still don't know the purpose

of Jaime's alien armor

or all of its abilities.

We just knew they needed help.

You have to have

a little faith sometimes.

Faith is belief

based on an absence of data.

It invites disaster.

STARFIRE:
You have no idea

how frustrating it is.

He reminds me of my sister.

I told you he was tough.

Never had a childhood.

Doesn't know how to act with kids

or anyone else for that matter.

It's affecting everybody.

Well, you can't expect him

to be great at bonding.

Spent most of his life

training to kill.

Then moves in

with the big bad bat,

which I can tell you from personal

experience, is not exactly fun.

So you've told me. (SIGHS)

Speaking of fun,

the old room looks great.

You know, Kori,

you and I could just...

- (GASPS) Fun.

- What?

That's it,

that's what we need.

What who needs?

Oh, you're so smart.

Thanks, Dick.

(STAMMERING)

But Kori, I don't...

Fun.

I wondered

when you'd get back.

They lost Superman.

Fifty-five miles

off the coast.

Flash is checking the area,

he just disappeared.

Where the hell is he going?

You have my feed

from the Batmobile?

CYBORG:
Yeah.

That's messed up.

The entity was strong enough

to possess a Kryptonian.

It can't stay in the host

if the host is damaged.

If I'd poisoned Superman with a

bigger dose, I might have saved him.

Scour the net, narrow your search

results to Superman sightings

and to recent

supernatural events.

Supernatural?

Yes. Subsection:

Female.

(RUMBLING)

Aah! Dude, did you have

to bring the sword?

Preparedness is a prerequisite
