He was right around the corner from turning forty. Garfield Logan had been doing this for a little over two decades now. Over the next several days he worked with the newest iteration of Titans to try and get them working together more as a unit. Years ago, Gar inherited the title of Animal Man from another hero who had decided to retire to focus on his family. The former Beast Boy had been the sole protector of Jump City for several years, and a member of Batman's black ops team the Outsiders along with other heroes such as Metamorpho and Blue Devil. That's where he was introduced to Oracle...

As Animal Man he transformed into a small group of green rhinos to take on Monolith and Trask. As a gorilla he trained with Wireframe to subdue even the toughest of foes mid-combat. Garfield trained with Ghost and Haze on stealth with what was essentially metahuman hide & seek. And as a group the Titans faced Animal Man in the form of a T-Rex. However as the Titans of Gotham grew as a team in this future above and beyond, so did the daughter of one of Batman's most complex of enemies. Drug pushers selling slappers was common in Gotham without the Batman taking down the supply chain. Bane-masked goons working in tandem with gangs like hired muscle was becoming a bigger problem. 

It was a little past one in the morning on a Saturday two weeks after the team took down Peacekeeper-01. Animal Man finished off a training exercise of his own against a holo-droid in the training area in the far side of the bunker. His smart phone chimed the tune of Blue Oyster Cult's 'Godzilla'. 

"Bolt's not quite healed yet but he's having second thoughts about the hero thing." Gar spoke on the phone, it was presumably Oracle/Gordon on the other end. "Yeah." he answered briefly. "One of them is still lacking in hand to hand, but they've got the power to become intangible so it's not so much of a problem if we're going up against a bunch of meat-heads." There was a bit of a pause before Gar made his eyes wide in disbelief. "Wait... you're WHERE?!? Does Oracle know about this?"

A few blocks away at what was left of the blimp station, a fifty-something year old Victor Stone pulled a red hood down revealing his face. He took a knee and planted his fist into the ground and nano-bots flowed from his body and began absorbing old tech and debris and reshaping it into what looked like the foundation of a building. 

"The Titans, no matter what city they're in... need a Tower." Cyborg claimed on the other end of the call as the T shape was beginning to form. "Booyah."
