CONTINUITY: Oh, sometime between War Games and Multiple Crises in Infinite

NOTES: Hmm. This story might go against a specific piece of canon, but I can’t
tell you what without ruining the story. Here’s the deal: If you promise not to
quibble and just go with the flow, I promise to give you a short character
ficlet. Okay? This is for Fanfic100’s challenge #21, Friends.

There are some vague mentions of War Games and the Teen Titans/Outsiders
crossover.

characters months and months ago, but it took until now for me to find an idea.
Thanks to Kitchendinah, Tasha, Nuala, and Sweetgrinch for helpful brainstorming.
Thanks also to Chevauchee, DCLady, and Saone for the betas.
