[Rachel stares down at her notebook, thinking on this before she begins to write.]

Teen Titans, seriously a damn superhero team.

Six members. Raven, Starfire, Terra, Robin, Cyborg, Beast Boy.

First three are here - me, Kara, Brooke. Are the last three ringing a bell for anyone else?

I want to try to reform the team - maybe just as the Titans. [she writes out a couple of question marks around this, she's not 100% sure on all the details yet.] I'm 25, the old name doesn't exactly work out so well.

We'd need new members. Is anyone interested?

Titans???

Titans. [... wait, right. that whole. thing. it's a little hard to miss that getting tossed around.]

It's just a name?

are you sure it doesnt have anything to do with naked cannibal giants.

Starfire and and I were talking about fighting bad guys together! Unless you remember a magical girl named Puff Bonnet on your team I probably wasn't one before, but I would be on your team now! And I bet Artie would like to too! He's already got a suit and a name! He's Aquaman!

I'd think that would have come up??

So I'm reasonably sure.

but not 100% sure???

I don't remember anything about walls, ghost jackets, cannibal giants...

So, you tell me?

hmmm and I dont remember anything about those names you mentioned. so I guess youre right.

[HE'S WATCHING YOU THOUGH. NOT GONNA FALL FOR ANY TITAN TRICKS.]

Superhero team? Like in those ghastly comics (sorry, graphic novels. Please try and inject an appropriate level of scorn)?
I thought you were a wizard. Witch. Mage?

NO GRANNY I CAN'T JOIN THIS TEAM THIS WAS MY SIDEKICK AQUALAD'S TEAM HIM AND HIS FRIENDS ROBIN AND SPEEDY WERE ON THIS ONE I REMEMBER THAT NOW

dude how many superhero teams are there now!?

I didn't know you had a sidekick, Artie!

Who says I wasn't both?

Superheroes have pants over their tights and ghastly outfits. Not to mention the fact that their powers are never earned. Usually given or inherited, from what mercifully little I know.

Wizards wear elaborate robes. They have dignity. Their craft is usually hard-won and honed to a fine point over a span of years. Far superior.

HIS NAME WAS AQUALAD HE WAS A GOOD KID I PROBABLY SHOULD HAVE MENTIONED THAT WHEN WE WERE COMPARING NOTES

Oh my god! You really are a superhero! You and your girlfriend!

That is just... I knew it. That outfit couldn't be anything else. Haha.

I remember Titans East, anyway. Speedy, Aqualad, Bumblebee, Mas y Menos.

It was a branch team on the other side of the country. Steel City, if it helps.

I don't know, and it doesn't matter. We've got broader organization worked out, but

The more workable groups we can create, the more effective we can be.

assuming everyone works together but sweet either way

Well, that adds another superhero team to the list, I suppose.

Sadly, someone else has sort of beaten you to the punch on the whole recruitment thing here.

It's all right! Sometimes you miss things!

If Aqualad was a Teen Titan, were you an Adult Titan?

I REMEMBER SPEEDY AND ROBIN BEING THERE TOGETHER WITH AQUALAD NOT SURE ABOUT THE OTHERS OR WHERE THEY ACTUALLY DID THEIR HEROING OR ANYTHING BUT IT'S ALL STILL PRETTY OUTRAGEOUS

I DON'T THINK SO IT WAS LIKE A KIDS' CLUB OR SOMETHING FOR ALL THE SIDEKICKS

What if there were sidekicks who weren't kids?

BUT ALL THE SIDEKICKS I REMEMBER WERE KIDS IT'S LIKE THAT STATUS WENT HAND IN HAND
