Synopsis for "The New Teen Titans (Part I)"
Cyborg awakens a year after he went into space during Infinite Crisis. He finds Titans Tower filled with new faces including Kid Devil, The Ravager, and Wendy and Marvin. A fight ensues between Cyborg and these new Titans until Robin interupts it. He explains that Kid Devil and the Ravager are now Teen Titans and a lot has changed since Cyborg went into his "coma". He tells Cyborg of Superboy's death and other changes the team has went through in the last year.
Meanwhile, Gemini, working for the Brotherhood of Evil, steals something called the Blastocyst Map from S.T.A.R. Labs. Wonder Girl stops Gemini just in time for the Teen Titans to show up. Ravager mentions that Robin has asked Wonder Girl to join the team three times but she has refused. She says she felt abandoned by Robin when he went off to re-train himself with Batman a year ago.
Later back at the tower, Cyborg tries to contact Beast Boy (who is now a member of the Doom Patrol), but with no success.
Even later, Robin goes into a lair under Titans Tower where he is apparently trying to re-clone Superboy.

Synopsis for "The New Teen Titans (Part II)"
Robin makes another attempt to clone Superboy. Failing that, he returns to his bedroom. Rose enters the room, naked and apparently inebriated. She comes onto Robin, but Tim manages to push her away. Before the situation can become even more uncomfortable, Kid Devil bursts in declaring that there is an intruder in the War Room.
The intruder turns out to be Cassie Sandsmark, who has been absent from the team ever since the death of Superboy. Rose and she still hold a lot of hostility towards one another, and Rose changes into her Ravager costume to confront Cassie. The two begin fighting, but Cyborg breaks them up.
Later, Kid Devil goes to the roof of the tower to talk to Blue Devil on the telephone. According to Eddie, Blue Devil makes him call in four times a day. Ravager meets with him and the two begin to bond.
Back inside, Cassie tells Cyborg and Robin that the Brotherhood of Evil have been raiding cloning facilities across the country in an effort to clone a human body for the group's leader, the Brain. They are currently at large in New York City.
The Titans fly out to New York and engage the Brotherhood. The Brotherhood have two new members, the Elephant Man and Goldilocks. Like his name implies, the Elephant Man is a giant humanoid elephant, and Goldilocks has animated control over her long, braided hair.
Goldilocks ensnares Robin in her tresses, but Ravager slices through them with her sword, freeing him. Cyborg takes on the Elephant Man, while Wonder Girl tries to capture Warp with her magic lasso. Kid Devil attacks Plasmus, but Plasmus’ burning touch burns Eddie, causing the flesh across his chest to blister. After several more minutes of intense fighting, Warp teleports the rest of the Brotherhood to freedom.
The Titans rush to Kid Devil's side and try to administer aid. Suddenly, the Doom Patrol arrives to lend a hand.

Synopsis for "The New Teen Titans (Part III)"
The Brain and Monsieur Mallah stand outside a balcony in Paris, France. The Brain fantasizes about soon having a human body. Following which, he swears to gain revenge against his old foes, the Doom Patrol.
Meanwhile, the Doom Patrol and the Teen Titans bring the injured Kid Devil to the Doom Patrol's castle headquarters. The Chief requires complete privacy in his laboratory in order to help Eddie.
Cyborg is anxious to get back on the hunt for the Brotherhood of Evil. Vox opens up a spatial portal, and Larry Trainor sends the Negative Man into it in order to track down the rest of the Brotherhood.
While the Chief operates, the rest of the Teen Titans mingle with the Doom Patrol. Cyborg is shocked to see Vox and Bumblebee in their present conditions. He is even more surprised over the fact that Beast Boy has left the Titans to become part of the Doom Patrol again. Ravager and Wonder Girl continue to bicker over Kid Devil's condition.
In the lab, Elasti-Girl assists the Chief with working on Eddie. The Chief reminds Elasti-Girl that she is a freak, who would have no chance for a normal life without him. Robin sneaks into the laboratory and is disgusted to hear the way the Chief is speaking to her.
Beast Boy goes to the castle study where his stepfather Steve Dayton is using his old Mento helmet to help him write novels. Beast Boy asks Steve to use the helmet to find the Brain's brainwaves, but Dayton feels that his writing is more important.
Kid Devil's operation proves successful and he is sitting up in bed. Robin enters the room and asks him about his alleged telephone conversations with Blue Devil. He reveals that he spoke to Blue Devil himself and discovered that he has not had any contact with Eddie in over two years. Eddie confesses that he lied about keeping in touch with Blue Devil, but is evasive as to the exact reasons why. The Chief enters the room and offers Kid Devil a place on the Doom Patrol.
Before Eddie's future can be decided, Negative Man returns. He is gravely injured and tells Cyborg that the Brotherhood has captured Robotman, Vox and Bumblebee. The Teen Titans race to Paris where they discover that the Brain has completed his operation. He has displaced his brain inside of a cloned human body.

Synopsis for "The New Teen Titans (Part IV)"
In Paris France, the Teen Titans fight up against the Brotherhood of Evil in an effort to rescue the captured members of the Doom Patrol. Wonder Girl and Ravager charge towards the brain (now inhabiting a cloned human body), but the Brain repels them with a blast from an energy-gun.
Suddenly Elasti-Girl bursts up through the ground beneath them, sending the Brotherhood members scattering. Warp begins teleporting all over the scene regrouping his teammates. Robotman begins beating on Plasmus and Wonder Girl wraps Gemini up in her lasso.
The Brain reveals that Niles Caulder was responsible for the accident that destroyed his human body. He claims that he was once Cauldrer's assistant, but Niles grew jealous of the Brain’s work with evolutionary study and arranged for an accident that destroyed his body.
Suddenly, the Brain's cloned body begins to degenerate. Mallah grabs him, and races away, climbing high atop the Eiffel Tower. Before the Brain's body completely fails, Mallah tears his head off, placing it back into its original steel casing. They manage to elude capture, and retreat back to a safe location.
With the Brain and Mallah missing, the Titans round up the remaining members of the Brotherhood and return to Doom Patrol headquarters. Kid Devil is recuperating well from his injuries, and is up and walking around. Niles Caulder offers him a place on the team, citing that the Doom Patrol is the only group that will ever truly accept him. He further insinuates that the Titans don’t even like him. Suddenly, Steve Dayton walks into the room. He has removed the Mento Helmet and is thinking clearly once again. He tells Caulder that he is no longer leading the Doom Patrol and warns him about speaking ill of Elasti-Girl and Beast Boy.
The Titans return to Titans Tower. Cyborg watches a security monitor from the past year, showing various Titans, old and new, pouring out their hearts to him.
Wonder Girl goes into the basement where she finds Robin. Tim has continued his work on trying to clone Conner, but failing at every turn. Cassie realizes that Tim agreed to go on the mission to fight the Brain, because he hoped that the Brain's work with cloning could be used to resurrect Conner. In a moment of emotional discord, Robin and Wonder Girl kiss each other. Wonder Girl awkwardly breaks away from him and flies out of the tower.

The Teen Titans battle Girder in the streets of San Francisco. After the battle, they are surrounded by young fans asking for autographs.
Back at Titans Tower, Kid Devil and Ravager argue with Wonder Girl at Robin about their place in the team. Cyborg interrupts their dispute to show them a surveillance video of Raven talking about finding out something that could rip the Titans apart.

In Edgewater, Colorado, Cody Driscoll, formerly known as Risk, robs a convenience store. He returns to his trailer to do some drugs when he is confronted by a mysterious figure in the shadows, who insists that Driscoll should join the Titans East or die.
Red Star teleports the Titans to his spaceship. The Russian hero witnesses the team bickering and suggests that they quit the team before they end up like so many of his friends that died. He gives them an address Raven had used in Beijing and asks them to leave.
The Titans travel to Beijing. They don't find Raven in the apartment, but they do find a journal. Apparently, something had been stolen from Titans Tower by one of the many members that had come and gone in the past year.

Synopsis for "Titans Around the World (Part II)"
The Teen Titans are on the trail of Raven. Having exhausted all normal means of tracking her, they rely upon former members of the interim Titans roster. They stop in Tokyo Japan where they find young Zachary Zatara in the midst of his magic act. Zatara is the arrogant nephew of Zatanna Zatara. Zachary wants nothing to do with the Titans any longer, and recalls that the short time he spent with them was a terrible experience. He tells them that Raven recently came by to see him, but he does not know her current whereabouts.
The next leg of their journey takes them to Brisbane, Australia. In Brisbane, another former Titan, Miss Martian frees a hostage from an irrational super-villain named Gunshot. After dealing with Gunshot, she turns to speak with the Titans. Like Zatara, Miss Martian also had recent dealings with Raven. She tells them that Raven wanted her to use her telepathy on the Teen Titans in order to ferret out a possible traitor in their ranks. Miss Martian however refused the request, citing that it is against her personal moral code to read the minds of "good people" without their permission.
In the South China Sea, a one-time member of the Titans named Bombshell fights up against the Red Panzer and his robot drones. She fires at them with blasts of atomic energy. The Teen Titans show up and assist her in stopping the Red Panzer. After the battle is won, they ask her if she has had contact with Raven. Bombshell tells them that Raven and she investigated the rumors of a traitor and she points her finger at Ravager.

Synopsis for "Titans Around the World (Part III)"
The Teen Titans meet up with Bombshell in the South China Sea. Bombshell accuses Ravager of betraying the team, instigating the reformed villain to leap after her. Ravager's teammates hold her back and cooler heads prevail. Kid Devil argues in Ravager's defense, and even Wonder Girl admits that it is unlikely that she would commit acts of subterfuge against the Teen Titans.
As things begin to calm down, the group resumes their search for Raven. They believe that she may have gone to Phoenix, Arizona in search of the Church of Baron Blood. The team takes the T-Jet back to the United States. They drop Ravager off at Titans Tower, then fly off towards Phoenix.
Ravager consults with Wendy and Marvin and discovers that Raven has taken a computer disk, which was previously concealed inside of an encyclopedia. Ravager begins to suspect what Raven is actually doing.
Meanwhile, Miss Martian intercepts the Titans aboard Bombshell's Quantum Jet. As she phases inside, Bombshell ignites several incendiary devices, forcing Miss Martian to revert into her true White Martian form. It appears obvious to everyone present, that Miss Martian is a traitor and a fight ensues.
Later, Wonder Girl and Kid Devil find Raven at the Church of Brother Blood. They interrupt her in the middle of an occult ritual, and Raven momentarily mistakes Kid Devil for her father, Trigon. They quickly inform her that Miss Martian has betrayed the Titans, but Raven points out that she is innocent.
Suddenly, Bombshell appears before them and attacks. She reveals that she has defeated the remaining Titans and prepares to retrieve what Raven took from the Tower. Ravager appears and attacks Bombshell spoiling her shot. Raven withdraws a computer disk from an encyclopedia and throws it into a pit of blood, thus completing her ritual. The disk in question contains the digitized soul of Ravager's late brother, Jericho. To the shock of everyone in the chamber, a resurrected Jericho rises from the pit.

Synopsis for "Titans Around the World (Part IV)"
Jericho rises from the pit to once again join the ranks of the living. But his resurrection may be short-lived as Bombshell unleashes a burst of quantum energy at him. Joey tries to possess her, but she retorts by revealing that the alien metal coating her body reflects his powers. Instead, Joey takes control of Wonder Girl and punches Bombshell through the cement wall.
Outside, Miss Martian helps the other Titans escape from their shackles and attack the armed guards. Wonder Girl/Jericho, Ravager and Raven join the others outside, and the fully assembled team rally behind the battle cry of "Titans Together!" Kid Devil turns up the temperature and super-heats Bombshell's metal skin. Then Raven uses the power of her soul-self to instantly cool her down, causing her shell to blister and crack. With Bombshell backpedaling in pain, Ravager puts her down for the K.O.
After everything settles down, the Titans hand Bombshell over to Diana Prince and Sarge Steel of the Department of Metahuman Affairs. They return to Titans Tower where Joey takes time to meet the sister that he never had the chance to know.
Elsewhere, Deathstroke continues gathering the team that will comprise his personal group of Titans.
