The New Titans

Arsenal reflects on his new role as leader as he visits his friends – former Checkmate operatives Martin and Erika Santos. Meanwhile, at Titans headquarters, Impulse confides in “Arsenal” that he has a crush on Rose Wilson. “Arsenal” is actually Mirage, who was unaware that she had subconciously assumed his appearance. Her powers seem to be increasing in strange new ways. Then, Mirage, Donna Troy and Kyle Rayner are ambushed by the younger Titans – Terra, Minion, Supergirl, Impulse and Rose Wilson – who incite a playful round of wargames. Mirage continues to exhibit new abilities as her illusions stay even when she moves. And hormones rage as Mirage finds herself attracted to Arsenal, while Rose finds herself attracted to Kyle Rayner, while Terra hints she is attracted to Minion. But events take a serious turn when Rose Wilson lashes out at Donna Troy when she tries to mother her; Rose is still reeling over the death of her own mother. Arsenal later confides in Supergirl, as he muses over his new role as father figure to some of the younger Titans. Elsewhere, at S.T.A.R. Labs, the stasis chamber containing Changeling is shattered – and the demon-infected shape shifter is free again.
