Slade and Dick y’all and Slade tells Dick that if he ever saw any Titans as a team ever again, he’ll kill them all. Later Dick tells the titans that they need to break up. And they do. For years most of hyphen don’t talk. That was until the return of Superman. When Superman returned, his son, Conner became Superboy and started to run with Timothy Wayne and Bart Allen. They form the new Teen Titans. But they do it without knowing the truth. Dick Grayson decides to bring back the original team to save the new kids. But that’s when Deathstroke arrives. He causes a disaster at Alcatraz Island and shoots Impulse in the knee. The team comes together to stop Deathstroke. But Deathstroke brings in the Fearsome Five to fight the titans. The younger Titans fight the five. Meanwhile the originals fight Slade. That’s until it’s just Dick and Slade. When they all go back to the tower, the younger Titans say that the old guys should stick around and be their mentors. The originals look at each other and agree to do it. At the end, Nightwing and Robin both yell “Titans Go!” for their next mission.
