Nightwing formulated a quick plan in his mind. Raven and Starfire would stay behind to try and cure the transformed Titans, while Cyborg, Terra, Arsenal, Arrowette, Deathstroke and Damage would go with him to stop the Secret Society. "Finding any group should be real easy with Blockbuster on the team," Arsenal said with a smile. Sure enough they found evidence of the Society several miles up the road. Blockbuster had punched a hole in the wall of a bank, at the command of the Wizard. The rest of the group climbed though the hole and into the closed bank. With a teamwork that set the Titans apart from other teams, the teens launched into attack. They chose their enemies and flew into battle with a vengance. Cyborg and Terra chased after the Reverse Flash. While the Professor tried to run away from the pair, Terra pulled the earth up from in front of him, causing him to slow down to change course. Victor pointed his arm at the speedster and shot twelve million volts of white sound at him, causing the yellow clad villian to stop short, trip and fall to the ground unconsciousness. Arrowette and Arsenal, working together so well the last time, headed for the Star Sapphire. The Frenchwoman turned sharply and fired a force blast at Arrowette, knocking her down. Arsenal reacted quickly and threw three chinese battle stars, hitting the woman in the legs and the left wrist. The female archer gets up and reaches into her quiver to pull an arrow out. "Does vouz really theenk an arrow will beat me?" the woman in purple asked. Cissie merely smiled as the mesh arrrow wrapped around her head, causing the villianess to stumble backwards. Roy lunged toward her and pulled the gem from her tiara-like headpeice. The four winners looked over torward the other battles, considering whether they should help or not.
While the Titans were deciding what to do about the remaining members of the Secret Society of Supervillains the members of the JLA knew they were in trouble. AT least the ones that were conscious did. Batman, Steel, Aquaman, Flash, Alan Scott and Max Murcury all lay unconscious. Their bodies had taken a pounding when their transport beams had been disrupted by the ion storm raging outside their Watchtower. Even the more resilient members of the team were struggling to find their feet and it looked like the amount of time they would have to do so was limited. Cliff Steele pulled his feet underneath him and placed himself directly between his struggling colleagues and the five figures standing over them. "I wouldn't call this a friendly welcome," his synthesized voice said with a certain amount of irritation. "Let's start with the tin man as he seems to have the most to say." Cliff tried to look past the green costume and the emerald ring the figure wore. This was obviously no Alan Scott or Hal Jordan. Somehow, he knew, he was going to have to by time for his friends to regain their senses. "You're all two-bit thugs who couldn't stand against the real version. What sort of idiot would wear a mask that looks like an owl! What's your special skill? Looking for mice at night? And you," he continued pointing at the only woman in the group, "who dressed you? You look like something out of a bad horror movie. What are you going to do? Make us all throw up because of your fashion sense. Sheesh, I've seen scarier looking babies." Cliff could see that he was getting under their skin, especially the woman. The fact that her companion with the big letter U on his shirt was laughing along was only serving to irritate her even more. "What are you laughing at? Didn't anyone mention that you are supposed to wear your underwear underneath your pants? And they leave you out on the street alone?" "Enough!" Cliff turned to look at the enraged Ultraman. "You wish to try yourself against us..." "I think that..." "You think what you like," Ultraman responded angrily to Owlman, "this misshapen garbage can is about to find out what we can do." Cliff wasn't sure what hit him first, the beam of green energy that slammed into his mid section or the fist that plowed into the arm that he raised to block it from hitting his face. He was sent flying backwards. When he landed he attempted to raise his arm once more to fend off the female fury that had pounced on him but it refused to respond. Two blows followed each other rapidly and he felt the metal of his body buckle under them. He raised his head rapidly and slammed it into the face of Superwoman who reacted by screaming as blood flowed from the broken nose. Cliff then felt her hands grab either side of his head and begin to pull. Just as he thought she was going to be able to rip his head from his body the pressure disappeared and he watched as Superwoman grabbed her own head in obvious pain. Looking past her he couldn't help but smile as he saw Superman, Wonder Woman and J’onn were on their feet. The odds were still against them but he couldn't help but smile.
