Episode/Chapter 19 - Past Invasion
"Are you positive this isn't just a prank?" Superman asked Nightwing and Aqualad as they stood before the rest of the team and the League, joined by the Light.
"Positive. And they are all willing to help us bring the Dark to justice." Aqualad said.
"That's fine. But as soon as this is over, you're not getting a pass on prison." Batman said directly to Vandal Savage and the Light.
"Understood." Savage said.
"This feels weird and.... different." Beast Boy whispered to Impulse and Blue Beetle, "teaming up with the bad guys."
"Yeah. How do we know we can actually trust them?" Blue asked.
"We'll be fine. Even if they do turn on us, we'll take them down, and they'll totally feel the mode, won't they?" Impulse asked.
"Uh, totally..." Beast Boy said as he looked at the Light just a few steps away from him.
"You'll be fine." Miss Martian said from behind them and rubbed Beast Boy's head.
"We might have a problem..." Superboy said as he walked up to the front with Nightwing and Aqualad, "it's midnight. They gave us until this morning. Then they would start invading."
"Superboy does have a point." Nightwing said, "we have to get back to Earth."
"But how do we know where to go? They could be anywhere!" Lagoon Boy said.
"Zatanna can locate the epicenter of Klarion's magic again. She's pretty good at that kind of stuff now." Nightwing said as he looked at Zatanna standing with Artemis in the crowd.
"Sure. I don't know if he's actually using magic right now, but I'll give it a shot." Zatanna said. Then Robin pulled up a holo-map on the Watchtower computer.
"Etocal retnecipe fo s'noiralK yrecros." Zatanna recited the spell, and when Robin saw the results, his eyes opened wide.
"What?! There are...five different location!" Robin said.
"Then it's simple. Five squads among us three teams." Batman said. Suddenly they heard someone coming through the Watchtower Zeta Tubes.
"Recognized. Roy Harper, B06." The computer said. (They changed the name to Roy Harper instead of Arsenal or Red Arrow, because they were exactly the same, and there was no other way to identify them differently.)
"Sorry I'm late, Nightwing. I was just picking up a couple friends." Arsenal said. Then two more people followed, making Nightwing, Robin, Batgirl, and even Batman gasp.
"Authorization Roy Harper, B06. Red Hood and Batgirl." The computer said.
"Who's the redhead and the blonde?" Wonder Girl asked as the three walked up to the group.
"This is Red Hood and Batgirl....a different Batgirl. They're both, uh, Batman's ex proteges." Arsenal said, and they all turned to Batman. Then Wonder Girl saw the look on Robin's face when he saw the blonde Batgirl.
"Do you know her?" Wonder Girl asked.
"What? No....I mean....of course I do, I worked with her...before the team." Robin answered quickly.
"Fine." Batman said, "Nightwing, split up your squads. Each squad will take members from the League and from the Light."

"Watchtower, bring up local news." Batman commanded, and a hologram of the GBS news came up.
"We are under attack at the Hall of Justice by, what looks like, giant plant creatures. The same we saw six years ago in Metropolis and Gotham." Cat Grant said as a video played in the background of plant creatures attacking the Hall.
"Gamma Squad, move out. Take the Zeta tubes." Nightwing ordered, and Captain Atom took his squad out. Then Batman and Superman heard the Watchtower vehicle entrance open and close, and they went to check it out as the other squads were getting together.
"Nightwing, if I may, I have an idea." Aqualad said to Nightwing.
"Sure. What is it?" Nightwing asked.
"That communicator." Aqualad said and pointed to a blinking red light in Nightwing's utility belt. Nightwing took it out and looked at it. It was the same communicator that Robin had given him.
"Are you going to call them again?" Impulse beamed.
"I mean, we need all the help we could get." Nightwing said. Then he pressed a button on the communicator, and the Teen Titans tone beeped.
"Hey, Nightwing!" Robin greeted on the communicator.
"Hey, Robin. We're going to need your help again." Nightwing said.
"Yeah, uh, about that, I was gonna call you." Robin said.
"What? Why? Is everything okay over there?" Nightwing asked.
"Yeah...the Savage Six and the Brotherhood of Evil escaped, and authorities tracked them down to a portal. The same portal we had destroyed a couple weeks ago." Robin said, "and they were headed to your time period."
Nightwing looked at Aqualad, "okay, because a new group, the Dark, is starting an invasion, and we were going to call you guys for help." Nightwing said.
"Oh, well, I'm going to hang up now." Robin said.
"What?! Why?!" Nightwing asked, but Robin had already hung up.
"Why did he do that?" Aqualad asked as Nightwing put the communicator back in his utility belt. Then they turned to see Batman and Superman walking back into the room...with five teens following them.
"Because we're already here."
