Synopsis:

The Titans were caught in the midst of the weirdness which transformed the ages of a number of heroes, but Nightwing, Troia, Tempest and Arsenal are unaffected by it, whereas the rest of the team has their ages drastically altered. While puzzling about this, Nightwing remembers an event from many years ago when the group were the Teen Titans. In the process of providing crowd control at a rock concert, the teen heroes had become involved in a plot to steal an anti-aging formula. In the process, Robin, Aqualad, Wonder Girl and Speedy were exposed to a developmental gas, and while it has not stopped them from aging, it evidently protected them from the effects of Klarion's spell.

Back in the present, the Titans discover that their old enemies the Wildebeests are on the rampage again, and set out to deal with them. However, the wildebeests are no longer men in costumes, they are now genuine monsters, and the lack of a need to hold back leads to some difficult decisions, for Tempest particularly. The Titans are going to be kept very busy with the Titans for the moment, and a possible cure from their blood for the plight of the age-swapped heroes will just have to wait.

In the background, we discover that Limbo, the rock star all those years ago, is now the Titans new nemesis, Goth, who, empowered by the Contessa, is responsible for upgrading the Wildebeests.
