Description
Clash of the Teen Titans
The Titans fight Jericho/Deathstroke, eventually forcing Jericho out. He possesses Superboy, Impulse, and finally Starfire. That's when Raven appears, drawn to the psychic radiation of their conflict. She tries to warn Jericho, but he flees Starfire and Raven sends him... somewhere. Then mystic beings of some kind appear and drag Raven away. The Titans aren't sure whether they won, but one thing Robin understands is that they did not win as a team. And that has to change. Bart Allen has realized that he can't be an immature jerk any longer; renaming himself Kid Flash is a first step towards that change. Superboy and Wonder Girl share a moment on the roof of the tower that leads to a kiss... a kiss interrupted by Wonder Woman, who has come to return Wonder Girl to her home!
