Chapter 81
When Supergirl arrived in Bludhaven, she couldn't help but chuckle at her destination.
"Really Bruce. You built him a tower shaped like a T? I thought you were an expert on secret bases." Supergirl said to herself as she landed on the roof to see her old friend waiting for her.
"Supergirl." Nightwing said with a grin of his own.
"Nightwing, nice to see you too. How's Titans 2.0 working out for you? You finally ready to switch over to the Justice League?" Supergirl asked and Nightwing chuckled.
"While I would love to see the inside of the Watchtower, I'm happy where I am. One thing we both have in common is that we're leaders, not followers." Nightwing said.
"True. Probably why it's best I didn't become Supergirl until I was too old to be Superman's sidekick, since no one would buy that someone my age in a different city was his sidekick, despite our powers, suits and symbols. You though, you've been in this world since you were a kid. Going from trapeze artist to sidekick to hero." Supergirl said.
"You just skipped some rungs on the ladder." Nightwing said with a grin.
"Anyways, are we gonna talk out here, or are we gonna talk inside? Either way, you said we needed to talk?" Supergirl asked her old friend, since Dick had been one of her best friends after she'd arrived on Earth, since he was the only person her age that she could fully confide in, especially back when things were tense between her and Alex after Jeremiah had vanished. It had been nice to have someone else she could talk to. Or vent to. Though Dick had done his fair share of venting to her about how much Bruce pissed him off and she returned the favor about Clark.
And honestly Kara was glad that just like she'd bonded with the first Robin, Karen was bonding with the current one, since she and Tim had become fast friends and even gone on a few double dates consisting of Karen and Donna and Tim and Stephanie.
"Come on, it's time for you to meet the Titans." Dick said as he led her inside.
"Seriously, I still can't believe that you operate out of a building shaped like a giant capital T. It's like you've never heard of a secret base." Kara said to Dick as they walked through the halls.
"Says the woman who just launched a billion dollar space station on international TV." Dick countered.
"At least it's harder for bad guys to break into the Watchtower without a transmitter key or zeta tube clearance. Here, people just need to know how to pick a lock." Kara said as they entered the meeting room to find one other adult and three teenagers waiting for them.
"Kori, it's good to see you again." Kara said, referring to the Tamarean refugee, who smiled back at her.
"You too Supergirl. You were right about the Titans being a good fit for me." Kori said.
"I can see that. But please tell me that Dick hasn't turned you into the team mom." Kara said, since everyone else in the room were teenagers.
"Of course not. Right now we only have a team dad." Kori confirmed.
"Good. Now, the only other person I recognize is the guy in red." Kara said, referring to Roy Harper, Oliver's newest protege.
"I go by Arsenal and I'm a part-timer, since while I still work with Team Arrow, Dick invited me to join him here and I have to admit, since Oliver never lets me out of the barracks, it's nice to hang out with the Titans." Roy said.
"And does Oliver know that you're here?" Kara asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Do you really think I'd bring Roy in without getting Oliver's permission. I don't need that headache. Besides, Roy's already made it clear that Young Justice isn't for him, since he's too old for them, so I didn't see any issues with him working with us." Dick said.
"As long as his mentor signed off, I'm fine with it, since I'm the one Oliver complains to regarding anything league related and unfortunately, this could be considered one of those things." Kara said.
"True, but anyways, I believe we're ignoring the other two members of the Titans. Meet Garfield Logan, aka Beast Boy." Dick said referring to the boy wearing a red and white suit and he turned off an image inducer to reveal green skin.
"The kid who can turn into any animal as long as it's green." Kara said, since she'd done her research.
"Nice to meet you Supergirl." Garfield said.
"You too. And you?" Kara asked, referring to the final person in this room.
"This is Rachel Roth, aka Raven." Kori said.
"Hello." Rachel said darkly and Kara noticed the red gem on her forehead.
"I read the file you uploaded on her. I can't believe a teenager has taken on that burden." Kara said, since she knew that the gem on Raven's forehead contained her demonic father Trigon.
"Yeah, it's a real picnic, but at least it means I know where dear old dad is at all times." Rachel said and Kara nodded, not really sure what to say to that.
"Why don't we get to why I asked you to come here." Dick said.
"Please." Kara agreed.
"We were breaking up an arm's deal last night, it should've been a standard op, but the guys were not carrying your normal weapons." Dick said.
"How so?" Kara asked, wondering if it was because they were weapons her company designed.
"As in alien tech. Not even your company makes weapons that advanced. I was wondering if you could help us narrow down what kind of alien tech it is." Dick said and Kara nodded.
"Show me." Kara said as Dick showed her images of the weapons that were now in police lockup and her heart dropped.
"I know that look. You've seen these weapons before." Dick said.
"Never in person, thank god, but I know the technology and I know where it came from. A place that makes hell look like a paradise." Kara said.
"Isn't that an exaggeration?" Garfield asked.
"No. That tech is from Apokolips, the most dangerous place in the universe." Kara said.
