Synopsis for "Streets of Blood!"

This story is reprinted from Titans Giant #2 and Titans Giant #3.

Mento relishes in the chaos caused by the ongoing battle between the groups of people on the streets of San Francisco and states it'll be even better once the Teen Titans intervene. Raven states it'll be difficult to break up the fight without injuring people. Mento meanwhile calls the Titans hypocrites for thinking themselves as morally better, stating how Raven is daughter of the demon Trigon, Beast Boy has spent his life surrounded by wealth, Starfire is an alien and Tim puts on a mask to hide the truth.

Robin tries to stop Hawk and Dove from fighting each other, but they start attacking him instead. He realizes that he can't reason with them, but still tries to stop them when they try to fight again. The two accuse their opponent groups of taking what rightfully belongs to their group while beating up on Robin. The Titans are confused as to why those two are leading the street battle. As Hawk tries to attack Beast Boy after smashing him to the ground, Starfire knocks him away. Mento is delighted at this and tells the Madmen to increase the chaos further. One of the Madmen gives a gun to a worker, telling him to protect what belongs to him, but Garfield scratches his face as an eagle.

As a Madman tries using a gun amidst the crowd, Tim interferes and punches him. The Teen Titans however soon witness Mento coming out of a truck and believe it's Steve Dayton. Robin and Beast Boy however get suspicious since he was targeted by the same people he's working alongside. Mento states that he can make anyone do whatever he wants and has Starfire attack the Titans. Stating he wants to cause more chaos, he explodes the bomb hidden in the truck parked on the street where the fight between the people is taking place.

Robin rushes to save the civilians after Mento had detonated explosive at the base of Dayto Industries' headquarters, while stating how he excels in situations of chaos and time feels like slowing down to him. After saving a bunch of civilians, he tells them to run away from the building. He soon gets attacked by Starfire, who's under the influence of Mento while Hawk battles Beast Boy. Raven, who is rescuing civilians, meanwhile gets attacked by Dove but teleports her in front of Hawk, making the two fight each other instead.

Beast Boy transforms into a giant Godzilla-like creature to prevent the collapsing tower from falling. Garfield tells them he can't stay in the form for long and Robin soon gets attacked by Starfire again while promising help to him. Robin tells Starfire that she's been turned by Mento and civlians will die if she keeps fighting him, hoping that Mento's control on her would have weakened since he's left the are. Starfire snaps out of it while Robin and Dove soon help Hank in snapping out of it. As Garfield complains about being unable to hold the falling building for much longer, Hawk suggests using the girders to prop it up. Starfire makes sure they don't give out by fusing them together.

The Teen Titans tell Hawk and Dove that Beast Boy's adoptive father Steve Dayton was behind the whole thing. After Starfire fails to locate Mento and the Madmen, Robin states that he had talked about going back to his estate, while Hawk and Dove decide to join them to take him down. After landing near the estate in the T-Jet, Garfield tells them to let him talk to Steve alone, but after going inside he finds Beuer lying on the floor and he claims Steve did it. As he tells him to look outside the window, Garfield spots his father as well as the Madmen having dumped the Titans' bodies in the pool.
