Synopsis:

Following the deaths of Lilith Clay and Donna Troy, Arsenal disbanded the Titans, not wanting to put his friends almost his family, in danger any longer. Now Arsenal wants him to join a group of strangers, having gathered together Metamorpho, Grace, Thunder and, most surprisingly, Indigo, the robot responsible for the deaths of the two Titans, who has since been reprogrammed and wishes to atone for what she did. There is little time to discuss the matter, as New York soon comes under attack by Gorilla Grodd and an army of simian soldiers.
