The Titans book would settle down for just a little bit after the Brotherhood of Evil story.

Speedy left the Titans to go back to his spy work and Frances Kane left to go back to Blue Valley, realizing hero work was not for her.  She did ask Wally to come with her, something Kid Flash seriously begins to consider in light of Raven’s behavior in the last adventure.

Raven is seriously beginning to doubt her powers and wonders whether her ability to detect evil is working or if it just her inner evil she feels growing.

Newscaster Bethany Snow is becoming an increasingly loud voice against the Titans, of course, the Titans and everyone else do not realize that Ms. Snow is a disciple of the Church of Blood, doing the bidding of her chosen messiah on Earth.  Even so, the New York City Police and especially District Attorney Adrian Chase are fast allies of the Titans.

The Titans come back and celebrate the new news that Wonder Girl is engaged to be married to her boyfriend Terry Long.  Terry is fully aware of Donna’s life as a Titan and the two begin to plan a wonderful wedding, however, first there is trouble…

Two teenagers of Vietnamese descent show up in the sky and start wreaking havoc and its up to the Titans to get to the two and stop their reign of destruction.  It turns out the teens are very confused and upset at being abandoned by their father.  Robin and the Titans agree to search for their father, a military man who served during the Vietnam Conflict.

While this conflict is going on, mobster Anthony Scarapelli, is put under arrest by D.A. Chase for drug distribution thanks to the Titans’ work in the Runaways case.  Scarapelli goes free due to legal technicalities thanks to his well paid lawyers and he swears vengeance on Chase.

Meanwhile, old Titans Aqualad makes an appearance as he fishes something out of the bay for the Titans…

Trident was a villain who had plagued the Titans, but what was puzzling to the Titans is that each of their Tridents seemed different and the trident did different things each time.  It turns out that Trident, was three different criminals, with one betraying the others hoping to keep their haul for themselves.  A simple case for the Titans all in all and a bit of a breather, because one of their greatest foes was soon to resurface.

Deathstroke, the Terminator, is the preeminent mercenary for hire in the DCU.  Deathstroke’s son was Grant Wilson, and Grant had volunteered for a process from the evil scientist organization known as H.I.V.E. to gain super powers in order to get revenge on the Titans for ruining his life when the Gordanian invaders came in pursuit of Starfire.

This process gave Grant powers and he became known as Ravager.  Ravager was beaten by Raven, who allowed Grant to see his heart’s desire which was the Titan’s defeat.  The process that gave Grant his powers was burning through his body’s chemistry and Grant died shortly thereafter.

Grant’s father, Deathstroke, took over the contract to H.I.V.E. and Deathstroke never fails at a contract.  Deathstroke ambushes the Titans and they fight him off, but it is the new Titan, Terra who manages to get Deathstroke on the ropes and it appears that Deathstroke dies at the end, however, no body, no death.

The Titans are very thankful that they made Terra a member of the team.  A feeling that readers knew they should have second thought when this panel appeared.

Deathstroke the Terminator and Terra the Earth Mover, a deadly combination as the Titans will soon discover.

Meanwhile, across town, in the apartment of D.A. Adrian Chase, the family is relaxing and the apartment explodes.  No bodies are recovered.

Next Up:  The New Vigilante and the Cheshire Cat smiles darkly.
