New Titans Annual

Arsenals’ team of Titans reflect on various moments from their past. As Mirage and Terra settle in as team members, a strange orb appears, with messages for Mirage and Terra. The orb was sent by the Time Trapper, who reveals that Mirage, Deathwing and Terra are from this timeline, not an alternate timeline, as they had thought – which is why they survived the Zero Hour time crisis. Mirage is actually a runaway street urchin from Brazil. She had been implanted with false memories by the Time Trapper and turned into a “sleeper agent” who would fight the villainous Monarch in the coming Zero Hour event. The Time Trapper also reveals that Terra is from this timeline as well. The Trapper explains: “Terra, you come from this time period. I found you moments befo–”. At that point, Terra destroys the orb, not wanting to know the truth about her past. The other Titans deal with various issues of their own. Donna’s divorce hearing is disrupted by a terrorist attack, which incites the judge to grant custody of her son, Robert, to Terry Long. It is revealed this is actually a plot by the Crimelord in an attempt to break Donna’s spirit. Later, Donna tries to forget her troubles by helping Minion adjust to life on earth with assistance from Kyle Rayner. His romance with Donna beginning to blossom, Kyle visits the grave of his girlfriend, Alex. Later, new members Supergirl and Impulse relate the tales of how they were each invited for Titans membership. And Damage tries to master his mostly-unstable powers. Curious about the Time Trapper’s message, Terra – an a new costume – visits the first Terra’s grave, only to find an empty coffin!
