Inside of the strangely shaped tower, three of its inhabitants were experiencing the same confusion as Conner.

"Should we let him in?" Beast Boy asked, a green face pressed against the window, as if doing so allowed him to get a better view of the flying figure.

"Are you stupid? Look at that symbol on his chest!" Responded Cyborg, who was also staring intently, just not quite as close to the window as Garfield.

Beast Boy scoffed at his friend. "He's way too young to be Superman! What if he just likes that symbol? What if he's one of us?"

The mechanical man cocked an eyebrow at his smaller green friend. "How do you even know he's young?" The larger boy gestured out the window to the teen flying awkwardly around their tower. "He's too far away for my sensors to even do facial recognition!"

"I... I just gotta feeling!"

"Oh, that convinced me."

"Really?"

"No."

"Come on! My animal instincts are screaming! That dude cannot be a bad guy!"

"Yeah, cause your instincts are soooooo reliable."

"Hey! I resent that!"

"Shut. Up." A girl in a purple hood growled, successfully stopping the argument. "You two are talking in circles."

"But Raven-" Beast Boy whined. The girl shot a look at the smaller boy and his mouth clicked shut. "I'm just sayin' he might need help."

"If he does, he'll ring the doorbell." Raven said, looking back down at her book.

"We have a doorbell?"

Raven ignored his question, not sparing the changeling a glance. "We'll wait for the others to get here." she said, "They'll know what to do."

Beast Boy looked like he was going to try and argue again, but his inevitable comeback was cut off when the elevator doors beside them slid open and four people stepped out.

A tall boy with purple eyes and gills lead a group into the room. He wore red and black armor that resembled a wet suit, but the gills on the side of his neck proved he was not normal.

"And here is the meeting area, commons, kitchen, and observation deck." Tempest said, gesturing around the area. "We use this room the most, besides the training center, so you will spend a lot of time in here."

The group the atlantean was leading was stopped from moving any further into the room by a very excited Beast Boy.

"Hiya newbies!" He exclaimed "How ya'll liking the tower so far? I'm Beast Boy. I wanted to be your tour guide, but Garth got the job because he was better with formalities and whatnot"

Tempest gently separated Garfield away from the boy he had latched onto as an octopus. "BB, don't scare them away." Laughed the Atlantean.

Beast Boy shifted back into his normal green form, and looked down sheepishly. "Sorry, I'm just glad I'm not the newest anymore."

Tempest clapped Beast Boy on the back, and turned back to his small group. "I think introductions are in order then. Everyone, you just met Beast Boy, our hyperactive shapeshifter." He gestured to Raven and Cyborg as they moved closer. "And these are two more of our members, Raven and Cyborg. Neither of them are as scary as they look."

Cyborg snorted in laughter, but Raven rolled her eyes.

"Thanks Garth." she deadpanned.

"You're welcome." Tempest said with complete sincerity, before he turned back to the three newer heroes. "Do you guys want to introduce yourselves, or do I have to do all the talking?"

One of the girls stepped forward confidently. She was dressed in fairly casual clothes, but her defining articles of clothing was the yellow T on her shirt and the heavy duty goggles on her head.

"I guess I'll go first. I'm Terra. I control earth." He confident smile quickly turned into a completely genuine one. "And I'd just like to say, this is the coolest thing to ever happen to me. Other heroes my age? I didn't think they existed, besides... like... sidekicks."

"Same here." Said the other girl. She wore a green cloak that hid most of her figure, but bright orange hair fell down around her shoulders. "I thought I was one of the only solo teen heroes out there. I'd never even imagined I'd ever meet another one." She looked directly at Raven. "Much less another telepath."

Only the people who had known her the longest could have seen it, but the corners of Raven's mouth twitched upwards.

"And you are?" the magic user asked.

"Lilith Clay." The girl stated. "But I've been going by the name Omen." Raven nodded her approval and the group's attention turned to the next new member.

"Uh, Hi. " The boy next to Lilith rubbed the back of his head nervously. "I'm Jaime. And I've got this scarab thing attached to my back that gives me powers and talks in my head."

Cyborg immediately looked interested. "Wait, so It's like you're conscience?"

"Not unless my conscious is angry and semi-murderous half the time."

Cyborg opened his mouth to respond, but stopped when two girls flew into the room. One flew with the mechanical wings attached to her suit, but the other seemed to be able to fly on her own, with only a light green energy trailing behind her.

"Yo! Have you guys seen the guy flying around the tower?" Karen asked, as she folded her insect-like wings closer to her back. "What are ya'll standing here for?"

Raven uncrossed her arms and looked to the beautiful orange skinned girl next to Bumblebee. "We thought we'd wait for Starfire. She's usually got the best judgement about these things."

Koriand'r smiled at her friend, and floated to the window.

"Thank you, Raven." The beautiful alien princess said, observing the figure that had finally stopped flying around their tower. "I do not think whoever that is is hostile." she said after a few moments. "Whoever they are, if they intended to attack us, they would have already. Instead, they seemed to have only stumbled upon us."

"More like your situation, Star?" Cyborg asked. "Lost alien on earth kind of thing?"

"There is only one way to discover that, Cyborg." Starfire said, "I will go ask him."

"I'll go with you." Raven said, not liking the idea of her friend going out there alone.

The Princess nodded, but before the two powerhouses flew out to meet whoever was outside their tower, Starfire turned to Garth.

"Call him, Tempest." She ordered. "This could be important."

Richard Grayson was going to break his one rule, and kill whatever was making that annoying noise.

Blearily opening his eyes, and peeking at the alarm clock on his bedside table, he groaned. He had been running on fumes this entire week, hardly sleeping, eating, or doing anything but work. This had been his best chance to get some solid rest for more than two hours, and now that noise had ruined it.

Muttering, Dick rolled out of bed and reached for the communicator making the heinous buzzing sound. He fumbled around for the right one, as there were multiple communicators on the table beside his bed.

He rubbed the sleep out of his eyes as he opened the voice channel. "Hey Tempest, how can I help you?"

"We need you here." The Atlantean said, cutting directly to the point.

Dick was glad Garth couldn't see his eye roll. "I left Kory in charge for a reason. She's just as capable of leading the team. I'll be back when I'm finished with my business here."

"Yeah, we know. But you said to call in an emergency."

"Is this an emergency?" Richard asked, pushing any fatigue out of his mind. "Status report." he ordered.

"There's a guy flying around the tower, Starfire and Raven flew out to meet him. Somehow, he got past the force field, but Star doesn't think he's hostile, just very very lost."

Dick sat back down on his bed, running his hands through his hair. "So why call me? Sounds like Kory has it all under control."

"The guy is wearing Superman's symbol." Tempest said, "However, we know they aren't Superman, because-"

"He's wearing a black tee-shirt, and looks way to young, right?" Dick interrupted, jumping up and racing out of his room.

"Yeah... How did you know?" Garth asked.

"Garth, it's imperative that you do not engage him." Dick said, rushing past Alfred in the hallway, and down into the lower levels of the manor. "He shouldn't be hostile, but don't make him angry. Try and keep Gar away from him for as long as possible."

"Wait, hold up. Do you know-"

Slipping into his suit, Richard cut off Tempest's question. "I'll be there in ten minutes. Nightwing out."
