So, I redid this (again) and explained things a lot more… don’t forget to read the new chapters (and the revisions of the old ones) and enjoy!

Preface: this is my own timeline; for the feel, it borrows heavily from the Teen Titans TV show and the movie The Incredibles, but has many OC twists.

So if you don’t like it or how it’s done then tough, I like the way it fits and it gives me the freedom to do a lot with the story arc’s.

Non OCC’s and other non OC: DC Comics, Cartoon Network, Brad Bird, Pixar…

Everything else is property of the eastsidebebop. SO NO STEALING YOU MUFFIN CRUMBS! (lame)

In truth, no one knew the reason of why he was so sad…

We know where he and his friends came from, and we know that the things that happened before, during and after his time with us, where not the fault of anyone individual, but the plans of three twisted super villains, bent on our destruction.

All the Titans know for sure, and indeed all we remember, is that he was arguably the most powerful being we ever met. Not for any one reason, he wasn’t indestructible, although, like me, he was tougher than armored steel, nor was he the fastest, even though he gave Bart a scare once. Or, even for anything else, but for his combination of qualities, he was fearless, amazingly smart, and he had some kind of blue energy power like that of the Green Lanterns, only… blue…

He was fiercely loyal, and he was more tenacious then anyone else, even Tim, for he honestly, truthfully, did not understand the word quit…

But most of all, and ultimately, the only reason the others asked me to tell this story, was because of the things he did that made us more than just teammates or friends, he made us a family… Through his sadness, he showed us how to be strong… That is why I must tell his story… And yet… I cannot… what follows is a composite story; told like one of those thrillers that Cassie, Raven or Beast Boy are always reading… cause really, we all put something into this… we all where touched by him… we all loved him and were loved by him…

More than anything, that is why we will always remember him, the reason I will always remember him, Max Talbot, the one we called, Blue Lightning…

Conner Kent A.K.A. Super Boy…
