That Strange Buzzing Sound
The Titans are in the middle of a fight, scant hours after announcing their formation. A few days earlier, they met in a diner and discussed forming the Titans again. They discuss social considerations, the possibility that old enemies might resurface, and even a sense of obligation to the world. Not far away, several young people try to rob a bank by threatening to drop a vial of poison if anyone disobeys. But two of them can't go through with it. Fortunately for them, a man named Damien Darhk chances by. He needs people who believe in nothing, and they are such people. The Titans decide to reform the team, and then discuss memberships and financing. That last, Aqualad can help with: he has treasure chests from sunken ships! They decide then to hire a construction company. Unfortunately, it's "Buzz Construction", and its employees are the new H.I.V.E.!
