Love Story, Part 2

by Marv Wolfman, José Luis García Lopez, Romeo Tanghal, Carlos Garson, John Costanza, Adrienne Roy

The Teen Titans try to get back to their day to day routine but other things get in the way. Changeling visits Steve Dayton, his adopted father, whom he recently learned is dying but Dayton doesn’t want to talk about it. Cyborg tries contacting Sarah once again but he just misses seeing her. The Titans visit the construction site of their new tower. 

Jericho and Kole return from their trip to visit her parents and tell the others about just how around the bend her father has become. Together, with the other Titans, Jericho and Kole return to her parents home to confront her father. They get into a fight with the creatures that Abel, Kole’s father, has mutated into forms that he believes will allow them to survive a nuclear war.

Her father tries to transform the Teen Titans (against their will) but they break out of the box he puts them in. Finally, Abel agrees to let them go. Soon after the Teen Titans leave the house, it explodes.
