CHAPTER
1
As a new chapter opened on Part Two of the Teen Titans’ extra-special adventure, the group was gathered around Robin in the Hall of Justice. They were still wearing their Justice League outfits.
“Titans!” Robin announced. “It seems that the second part of this special adventure will entail saving the Justice League from Darkseid!”
Robin quickly pulled up an image on the computer. The scowling face of a monstrous villain known as Darkseid filled the screen.
“Darkseid!” Robin declared. “The most dangerous evildoer in the universe! Vile ruler of the planet Apokolips! Powerful enough to defeat any hero he faces!”
“Even Superman?” asked Cyborg.
“Yes,” said Robin.
“Even Batman?” asked Raven.
“Yes,” said Robin.
“How about Aquaman?” asked Beast Boy.
“Well, Aquaman wouldn’t fight Darkseid,” admitted Robin.
“Is it because he is too lazy?” asked Starfire.
“What a bum!” declared Cyborg.
“This totally lowers my opinion of Aquaman,” Raven muttered.
Robin sighed and said, “We have to get to planet Apokolips and save the Justice League from Darkseid’s deadly grasp!”
Raven glanced down at the Wonder Woman outfit she was wearing and said, “Fine, but let’s change back into our own clothes first.”
“No way!” said Cyborg, “We have to wear these costumes! To honor the heroes that we aspire to be!”
Raven snickered and said, “Sounds like you want to play dress up and wear your underwear outside your pants.”
Cyborg indignantly replied, “I do not! I like my underwear just where it is!”
“Oh yeah?” asked Raven with a smile as she quickly spun the Golden Lasso of Truth and ensnared Cyborg.
Cyborg struggled within the confines of the Golden Lasso and finally admitted, “Okay, I want to play dress up and wear underwear outside my pants! But it’s more than that! It’s about my dream to join the Justice League. The history… the honor… the justice!”
“In that case,” Robin said sarcastically, “I say we all play pretend and act like dumb little babies so Cyborg can live out his childish dream.”
“Thanks, Robin!” Cyborg said. “But first, there’s one thing I’ve gotta do…”
Cyborg then shifted into his finest super hero pose—chin lifted, hands on his hips, and legs spread far apart—and declared in a booming voice, “Assembled in the Hall of Justice are the world’s greatest heroes! Evildoers beware! These heroes are doing things… everywhere! With their underwear on the outside!”
The other Titans followed Cyborg’s heroic example. Each one struck a pose.
Minutes passed.
“Now what?” asked Raven.
“Let’s get to our Justice League vehicles,” Cyborg declared. “We’ve got super heroes to save!”
