Miami...The Wine and Food Festival…

After months of pain and tragedy, members of both The Titans of Justice and Authority had started putting theirs lives back together. In hopes that they finally did something to kick back and relax, Scott and Jerrica Trevor invited their friends and teammates to the annual Wine and Food Festival as both of them would be performing for the crowds in Miami.

"Jerrica, thank you for inviting us to this gala. I believe this is just what everyone was in need of." stated the daughter of Wonder Woman.





"You are quite welcome. Scott and I both thought everyone need some time to relax and enjoy life again.”





"This is a delectable Pinot that you've chosen. very crisp with a hint of sweetness but not too much. I only thought that such beverages existed on Themyscira.", raved the heroine known as Champion.

"Mindy I'm so glad you like. Scott thought that you might, seeing as how you've started to embrace the outside world away from your home and see what the rest of the world is really about.", squealed the wife of Wonder Man.

The ladies continues chatting unaware of a hooded figure lurking about in the shadows.

Not far away other members of the Titans were engaged in a feast that had been made by Wonder Man and famous chef celebrities Giada De Laurentiis, Rachael Ray, and Alton Brown.

Storm Surge, Starman, and Apotheosis, in their civilian guises, were devouring the pasta carbonara that was masterfully created by Scott Trevor and his celebrity chef friends.

"I had no idea Wonder Man was such the master chef. He puts many of the best cooks of Posiedenis to shame.", boomed the son of Aquaman.





"Well I bet it also helped that he had someone like Giada De Laurentiis and Rachael Ray telling him what to do.", joked the son of Prince Gavyn.





Apotheosis quipped back, "He's probably use to being told what to do, he is married to Jem after all!”





The men roared with laughter and continued to share in their camaraderie and dining experience.. Apotheosis' gaze shot to the raven haired beauty known as The Mask, who was in disguise, across the outdoor patio giving her a wink of I’ll meet you later, which she returned with a kiss blown in his direction.

Throughout the day, other members had been enjoying all the cooking demonstrations and live music. After Wonder Man and Jem had finished their performances, they said their goodbyes and made their way home for the night. In another part of the festival sat Dan and Didi Jordan cuddling together and letting the beat of the Latin Music playing at a nearby stage wash over them forgetting all the negative things that had happened lately and embraced this moment of enjoyment. As was Sargona who was missing her love Vince, aka Power Guy, who was off world on a Titans mission. In short time, Helena Wayne and Robert Queen had joined their friends and the five of them sat and chatted while imbibing in a bottle of Merlot that Robert Queen had purchased, except Didi who was starting to show some signs of her and Dan’s expectant child.

“So Helena, want to give me the scoop on this.”, asked the daughter of Green Arrow and Black Canary.





“What scoop Didi?” asked the Huntress to her longtime friend.





“On you and my brother”.

“On me and…just what are you implying?”, asked the daughter of Batman and Catwoman in a light-hearted tone.

“Oh Don’t be coy with me Miss Wayne, I know you better than you think. After all we’re best friends for a reason. So are you and Robbie an item now?” asked Sonic Boom playfully.

“Well I….”, before the Huntress could finish screams were erupting from the crowd. Swarms of people running to get away from what ever was happening on the stage nearby. The Titans were quickly suited up for action, thanks Lantern’s power ring and Sargona spoke, “Id Id efas at emoh”, sending Sonic Boom far from harm‘s way. Immediately the Titans approached the stage, where a green and yellow hooded figure was tossing about the security guards smashing them into the sound equipment.





“Put them down and get your hands up!”, growled Dark Arrow as he took aim with his bow.





“And just what do you think that pig sticker is going to do?”, asked the hooded mystery woman.





“Whatever I need it to!”, barked back the archer.

“Dan, Helena, look at her costume. It looks almost like the one Apotheosis’ father used to wear.”, exclaimed Sargona.

“You’re right. But he was killed a few years ago after the two of you did battle. Jared told me about it when I was training him,” acknowledged the Huntress.

As Green Lantern took to the air he shouted “Okay miss just who are you”?





The woman replied “Shouldn’t it be obvious you fools. I’m the new and improved Paragon!”

“Since when does Apotheosis have a sister, I thought he was an only child”, whispered Sargona to the Huntress.

“He doesn’t have one I know of .”, the Huntress shot back.

Meanwhile the Emerald Archer was busy mocking this new Paragon. “Well if you want to take up the mantle of a two-bit villain that couldn’t handle the Justice League be my guest, but you’re out of your league as well”.

The archer let his arrow fly and Green Lantern’s ring was conjuring up a birdcage to trap this adversary. Paragon easily dodged GL’s construct and caught Dark Arrow’s weapon, sending it hurling at Lantern’s head instead of hers.

The arrow struck its target, somehow shattering through GL’s ring’s protective barrier and embedding into Daniel Jordan’s skull. He fell from the sky instantly and his body slammed into the ground with a hard thud right in front of Sargona as blood oozed from his head.

“Oh my God!” screamed The daughter of Sargon the Sorcerer. “That’s my good friend you witch!"

“Well my dear guess you’re friend‘s gone and left you all alone as he‘s taken a trip, but don’t worry because you won’t be missing him for long. You can join your dead do-gooder in Hell.”, snarled Paragon.

Sargona started to chant a spell, “Dniw kcock siht eof re…“. Paragon swiftly grabbed the heroine’s arms as she was in the middle of her spell and swung her like a rag doll slamming Sargona into a wall. The villain kicked the back of both of Esmeralda’s knees with such force she broke the bones of her kneecaps and lower legs creating such excruciating pain as to cause the Mighty Mistress of Magic to loose focus.

“Now my dear, any last words before you join your dear departed Green Loser?”, cackled the vile villainess.

“J..J..Ju..Just One….”, muttered Sargona trying desperately to fight the pain and find the strength to summon a quick spell.

With a backhand to her throat Paragon snapped Sargona’s neck and her lifeless body slumped to the ground.
