Chapter
1: Crossroads
The Teen Titans went after Brother Blood's cult
in Alaska. With the help of Terra, their newest
member, they were able to uncover evidence that
several senators were under Blood's influence. After
the ordeal was finished, Tara Markov (Terra) reported
to her boss - Deathstroke, the Terminator.
Some time passed and the Titans regrouped. Wally
West announced he was quitting the team - he wanted
to become a full-time college student. In another
shocking move, Dick Grayson retired as Robin. He
planned to continue on with the Titans, but realized
he was no longer the "back half of Batman and...".
Chapter
2: Lifeblood
The Teen Titans went on TV to oppose an arms shipment
to the country of Zandia. Brother Blood, unknown
to the rest of the world, was in control of the
dictator of the small country. Dick, in disguise
as a reporter, visited three politicians who'd been
voted out of office after being thought to back
the Zandian dictator. He and the politicians, along
with a real reporter, traveled to Zandia.
The Titans received a distress call from Dick and
went to help. When they arrived, they were immediately
captured. Dick had been discovered and brainwashed.
Chapter
3: Baptism of Blood
The Titans were able to break from captivity, but
Blood just as quickly regained control of them.
Together, they fought through robots, etc. until
the Zambian dictator attacked his temple. Raven
was able to teleport them home (with Dick) before
the structure toppled. Brother Blood was thought
dead.
Chapter
4:
The Judas Contract part 1: The Eyes of Tara Markov
The Titans took some time off and lived as their
other identities for a while. Donna invited everyone
over and made wedding plans. Tara kissed Gar and
continued to spy on the team for Deathstroke. At
a team-building exercise, Terra lost control and
almost killed Changeling. Deathstroke condemned
her for it, telling her they were not yet ready
to attack.
Chapter
5
The Judas Contract part 2: Betrayal
Deathstroke
attacked Dick Grayson at his home. Dick was a bit
freaked out that the assassin knew who he was, but
he was able to escape into a nearby park. One by
one, Dick went to the homes of the other Titans.
They'd all been taken. At the tower, he was approached
by a woman named Adeline and her son, Joseph. They,
too, knew who he was and told him that Terra had
taken Raven down - she worked for Deathstroke. The
woman admitted she'd been Slade Wilson's wife.
Deathstroke neared the H.I.V.E. headquarters, prepared
to deliver the goods on his contract.
Chapter
6
The Judas Contract part 3: There Shall Come a Titan
Adeline
told Dick the story of Slade Wilson. He was a hotshot
military kid, better than any other student. She
took him under her wing and trained him to be a
super-soldier. After being shipped overseas (and
after his new wife had given birth to their first
child), he took an experimental drug and was incapacitated
for quite a while. After regaining himself, he was
unstable - a superman one day, catatonic the next.
Discharged from service, Slade took up hunting.
Later, his wife found out he was an assassin. When
their second child, Joseph, was kidnapped, he told
her everything. In the struggle to get their son
back, his throat was slit. He lived, but as a mute.
Their other son was later killed as the "Ravager."
Dick had finally come up with a new costume and
name - Nightwing was born. Joseph Wilson also had
an outfit and name - Jericho. He had the mutant
ability (due to having been conceived after Slade
was altered) - he could take over other people.
He demonstrated on Nightwing. Together, they went
after his father.
Chapter
7
The Judas Contract part 4: Finale
Nightwing
and Jericho entered the HIVE headquarters. Adeline
held Slade's friend and associate, Wintergreen,
hostage. He told her how their bond was created.
Dick and Joe infiltrated the HIVE and learned where
the Titans were being held. They were to be killed
the following day. The duo started a brawl and quickly
took down a HIVE team. As they made way, Terra attacked
them.
HIVE showed Deathstroke the contract was fulfilled
- Robin had been taken along with another unknown
boy. Slade realized it was his son and tried to
bargain for him. Jericho got into his father's body
and freed the Titans. A melee ensued - the Titans
fought Terra, Slade, and the HIVE agents. Terra
fought Deathstroke and the Titans. Deathstroke fought
everyone. Terra became insane - her own earthly
constructs buried her. The Titans herded out the
survivors and found her dead body.
Tara Markov was buried a hero, a Titan - she died
in battle against Deathstroke the Terminator.
