Okay, so, guys who I RP with in the Titanverse, since Sev and I need to get this out of the way so we can move on...
WE NEED HELP D8
Lightning got a 'future letter' from the Nexus his father wrote, asking for help. Thunder found it, the both of them got into a huge argument over it, and haven't spoken since. Thunder is determined to find out whatever he can about his father and help him. Sev has this planned: he took the letter and the tags, and he used all of Robin's technology and computers while he was staying in the tower to track down anything he can about his father. Somehow (dunno, we'll leave it to the Nexus) he finds out the letter came from Vietnam; wherever this 'villain' is, they're going to be somewhere in Vietnam. Not close to their home, but somewhere in that range. Thunder would take off on his own to fight the villain himself and get his father back. Somehow, Lightning is going to find out about this (probably from Starfire; he'll probably leave her a "BRB" note). Thunder will come back before Lightning leaves, because the lead was 'nowhere'. The villain's found out and goes "ONOES THEY'RE ONTO US" and goes to another location.
But here's the problem... WE DON'T HAVE A VILLAIN. Or any idea of how this is going to happen. All we know is that in the end... uhm... their father is going to get killed. Whether it be by the both of them or by one of them, or by the villain himself, it's going to happen (personally, I'm leaning towards Lightning going as the executioner, because it would make for some good development towards my favorite muse, who is very minor in the series and has little to develop off of).
What we do know is that their father left because he thought his family was in danger and he KNEW this villain was going to come after him.
Oh, and also: the HIVE, I don't think, will be involved in this plot. We thought about it, and the cartoon series made the HIVE into a evil school for villains rather than a huge organization it was in the comics, so it wouldn't make sense. If we CAN get a Brother Blood awake and willing, sure, but it has to make sense in the storyline of the plot (their father disappeared when they were around five or six years old) and his character. :\
So, uh, please. Any ideas would be GREAT.
