In space, on their way back to Earth, Vic and Wally
discussed the Dick / Kory relationship. Meanwhile,
in another part of the ship, the two talked to each
other about their feelings. When the ship landed on
Earth, the Titans went their separate ways for some
much needed time off.
On their date, Kory and Dick saw a man getting mugged.
The "victim" shook the guy off and he ran
into the street. The boy was hit by a car and killed.
Changeling got a distress signal and found a costumed
woman atop the Statue of Liberty. He and the police
chased the girl off - she called herself Terra and
could alter earth. Elsewhere, Raven found a young
runaway who was hungry and took her to Victor's place.
They took her to a run away center and bumped into
DA Adrian Chase. He asked them to check out some drug
situations - the supply was short, so Europeans were
trying to get the business. The Titans agreed to take
the case. They headed back to Vic's apartment and
found a dead body. |

Changeling once again met up with the earth-shifter

He later caught her and brought her to the Tower.
Tara (her real name) said her father was the king
of a country and had been kidnapped. The Titans (Kid
Flash, Changeling, Raven, and Cyborg) found the people
who'd been controlling Terra and found out her parents
were dead.
Donna's date with Terry was canceled due to him having
business to deal with involving his ex-wife. Kory
and Dick enjoyed each other before his mind began
to wander.

A duo of brothers using storm powers brought down
an apartment building in St. Louis.
As the Titans flew home, Raven, Kid Flash, and Robin
all contemplated leaving the team. Back at the Tower,
Robin walked away. Kid Flash said good-bye to Fran,
who was going back to Blue Valley. Speedy also said
his good-byes - he was going back to the drug war.
Later, Speedy informed the Titans of the Thunder
and Lightning attack in St. Louis. He was unable
to help - he was on assignment. The Titans defeated
Thunder and Lightning, who told them their back
stories: they were born in Vietnam as Siamese twins.
Once separated, they found they could wield thunder
and lightning. They were in the US looking for their
father.
Once they heard where he might be, they headed off
to Maine. The Titans again defeated them and placed
them in the care of S.T.A.R. Labs. They told them
their father was dead, but it was not confirmed.

District
Attorney Adrian Chase was rushed to the hospital and listed
in critical condition. His wife and two children were
dead. Chase was moved outside the country to recover.
Scarapelli was put on trial for the crime. Robin was called
in as a witness. Later, even after a court order kept
Robin away from Scarapelli, he told the man he'd be watching
him and would take him down. Starfire held him back.
Back at the Tower, the rest of the team told Robin they'd
help him with the Scarapelli case - legally. They broke
into smaller groups and smashed up some of his holdings.
Afterwards, Donna told Dick she didn't want anything to
do with his methods. She contemplated leaving the team
once she was married.
Raven attempted to return to Azarath, but they refused
her.
Contract killers reported back to their boss, Monitor,
aboard a spherical satellite in Earth's orbit. Some of
his contractors - Scorcher, Slasher, Spear, Tanker, Cheshire,
and Bazooka attacked the Titans. A mysterious figure attacked
some of the attackers. Kid Flash and Changeling were injured.
Raven appeared when Wally called out to her.
The mob, strong-arming Scarapelli for some files, awaited
him. The Titans were also nearby. Scarapelli double crossed
them, assassins popped up everywhere. The Titans stopped
the fighting and headed back to look for Robin.
Robin found Adrian Chase, who was now wearing a costume.
Scarapelli shot them both, but was killed by the new vigilante.
