At some point in time, Kiran Singh, otherwise known as Solstice, is captured and experimented upon by N.O.W.H.E.R.E., a clandestine organization that has recently been kidnapping teenaged metahumans. Their experiments are painful and give her a rocky exterior. One day, Kiran is rescued from her prison by Kid Flash. The two escape the facility together and, thanks to Danny the Street, are teleported to Red Robin’s apartment in New York City.
While there, they meet Robin’s teammates and learn about their mission. The group is dedicated to stopping N.O.W.H.E.R.E. from abducting more teenagers, a venture that Kid Flash and Solstice are eager to help with.
Soon after, the entire group, now going by the “Teen Titans”, is thrust into battle against Superboy, who has been sent by N.O.W.H.E.R.E. to capture them. Superboy defeats them all but, after talking to Solstice, decides to abandon his mission and leave the Teen Titans alone.
After taking a moment to regroup, the Teen Titans learn that N.O.W.H.E.R.E. has recaptured the rogue Superboy and is planning to kill him. Red Robin convinces the rest of the team to save him and they all storm N.O.W.H.E.R.E.’s base.
