Notes: Oh man, I totally thought I wasn't going to finish this part in time. Between my help_pakistan auction fic and parts of this chapter giving me *fits*, I wasn't done until yesterday morning, and didn't have time to do final edits until tonight. But I got it done! \o/ Thanks, as always, to iesika and all of you that comment and tell me how much you like the story. You guys are the reason I keep writing this, and the reason why I work so hard to get each chapter out by my promised deadline. The next chapter is scheduled to be published on November 3rd. It will wrap up Year Two, and after that there will be another month-long hiatus, this time for the month of December, when I intend to focus on Yuletide and other challenges. I'm hoping to resume on January 3rd.
This chapter relies particularly heavily on existing scenes and dialog from Teen Titans. I've tried to re-imagine it in the context of this universe, but I wanted to give the extra nod to certain scenes, especially Lex Luthor's lines, which are almost verbatim from the comic.
