Beast boy had given the team the rundown of his conversations with three of the four people he had encountered. When Beast Boy had mentioned Starfire in his story, Nightwing placed his left hand over his right subconsciously, saying nothing about it. Some cybernetic woman from an alternate Earth? An alien of sorts? A bird based mystic? It was a strange cast of characters, but it could work. After all, his own team consisted of members just as outlandish.

Raven had cast a small glare at Beast boy when he mentioned how close this Runé had been to him, but eased up when he quickly told her that nothing happened. She pressed a little more just to see how Beast Boy would react, and the fact that she was trying to be better as a person was showing through with her somewhat cruel joke on Beast Boy.

While the four conversed, the door opened once more behind them, revealing a tall figure in a long and flowing robe. Her hunched posture and slow movements suggested that she had woken up rather recently, but the sight of seeing all of her old friends energized her instantly. 

"My friends!" Her voice instantly brought attention towards her. 

As beautiful as ever, Starfire stood in the doorway with a million watt smile on her face. The smiles of her friends only made her own more intense. Beast Boy didn't come around to Jump city all that often when compared to his other destinations, so even though he was only seen through the computer screen, she was happy. Raven and Cyborg didn't come down all that often since they were fighting in the big leagues with Nightwing's old mentor and the man of steel. 

"Mornin' sleepy head. It's noon." Cyborg laughed, watching Starfire contort her face in shock. 

She could not believe that she had been up so late. It was that dastardly coffee, she was sure of it. Had she not had so much, she probably wouldn't have been up so late and passed out in a blink of an eye early into the morning. 

From this day onward, she could scorn the hot caffeinated beverage!

After her rage settled, Starfire walked to meet the rest of the group. "So what are you all here for?" She asked them. Knowing Nightwing as well as she did, it was more likely business than pleasure. He wouldn't call them away from the watchtower to hang out for old time's sake. If he wanted to catch up, he'd just call them through video chat.

Before anyone could answer her question, Starfire saw the files in Nightwing's hand. Hesitantly, she reached out towards them. Nightwing could see her hand, and placed them within her grasp before letting go. He wasn't able to see the final file, but he was sure that Beast boy would tell him more about it.

For a young man who constantly cooled the air around him and had bright blue skin and elf ears, life was hard. The constant looks and questions had little effect on him now, but he still didn't like the treatment towards him. It was like he was an alien of something, which he absolutely wasn't.

He didn't even know where he was at the moment. Some little town in upstate New York, he believed. However, he had no real idea since he didn't know the area. He only knew because the sign entering the town stated the state it was in.

At the moment, young Ryan Pratt sat by himself in a little cafe. He liked cool and cold things, but sometimes a nice hot cup of coffee did the trick. He stirred his drink slowly, most of his focus being put to making sure he cooled the area as little as possible. 

"Is this seat taken?"

Ryan turned his head to hear who the voice originated from. Where he had expected some resident of the town, or maybe even one of the cafe's employees, stood a young man with Green skin and pointed ears similar to his own.

It didn't take long for Ryan to figure out who he was. He might not have had luxuries like television all day and a cell phone connected to the internet, but he still saw the TV's in windows, diners, cafes. He knew who Beast Boy was, but he didn't know why he wanted him, or how he found him.

"Um, sure." He replied hesitantly. 

Beast Boy took the seat across from Ryan, looking at him with relaxed eyes and a posture to match.

Ryan took a sip of his drink, waiting for Beast Boy to say something. After a moment of silence, Ryan spoke up. "Is there something you wanted from me?" He was curious to know.

"Oh!" Garfield's eyes widened as he snapped back into reality. It seemed that he zoned out thinking of other things. "Yeah, yeah." He nodded, but then stopped to shake his head. "Wait no." He corrected himself before shaking his ehad again. "Sorta."

As he tried to find the right words, Beast Boy became more impatient with himself. With a grunt, he placed a Communicator down on the table. 

"Take that, dude." He told the cryomancer. "I think you could be a Titan."

Ryan's confusion only increased. At the moment, he was training himself to be a better hero without any more accidents, but being a Teen Titan was a bit of a large step. "Wait!" He almost shouted. "How did you find me?"

Beast Boy laughed. "Dude, you leave a trail of extra cold snow wherever you go, you know that right?"

Ryan sighed. He should have seen that, and was fairly embarassed that he was found like that. He then realized that he had yet to introduce himself. "I'm Ryan." He said to the famed superhero. "You can call me Tundra."
