History WMG / ReflectionsLostOnADarkRoad

The Teen Titans in ''The Titans and the Lost Boy'' and ''FanFic/DarkTitans'' are the incarnations of them from the tv show. Meanwhile, Tresspasser seems to be from the comic book universe. While there's a lot of overlap characterwise, even the X-COM universe from ''FanFic/TheRoadToCydonia'' has some characters in common with ''FanFic/DarkTitans''. The point being that if the Titans try to get home by going to Tresspasser's universe, it's not going to work.

* Also there are characters in these universes that are established as fictional in DarkTitans and TheRoadToCydonia so it would be nice to see their reaction to meeting those people like Tenchi or Sailormoon especially since Ranma and Ryoga are related to them in a few of these fics.

[[WMG: The aliens are "[[CommandAndConquerTiberium a cult of addiction in the guise of a species]]".]]

Basically a re-creation of UsefulNotes/WorldWarII; there are thousands, possibly hundreds of thousands of psychics and inventors who are aware that Earth is being invaded by mind-controlling aliens, but as the only alternative is a pan-national military force that seizes all advanced technology and whisks all psychics off to "Sanctuary Communities" without consideration for collateral damage, they don't trust ''either'' side. Everyone's pretty sure that the Hive Mind wants to assimilate all life on Earth, but they're equally concerned that X-Com will enslave every psychic and enforce a government monopoly on super-tech. ''That's'' why the Trenchards lets all those "rogue" psychics run around - by giving them free range, they appear less threatening than X-Com, who remorselessly kill every rogue they are unable to capture. This is a theme not often seen in post-WWII fiction but was constant in period pieces like ''Film/{{Casablanca}}''; that those who were trapped in the crossfire saw little difference between Nazi Germany's crimes and the Soviet Union's bloody revolutions - ''three'' from [[UsefulNotes/RomanovsAndRevolutions 1905]] to [[UsefulNotes/RedOctober 1917]]. The nasty part is that history supports this viewpoint; for people caught on the wrong side of the UsefulNotes/IronCurtain after the fall of Nazi Germany, the war has never really ended.

The real-life term for this is the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Observer-expectancy_effect Observer-expectancy effect;]] "a form of reactivity in which a researcher's cognitive bias causes them to subconsciously influence the participants of an experiment." ''No-one'' makes it into X-Com - let alone into the high security research divisions - without being heavily vetted as being reliably pro-human/anti-alien. Thus, even the most objective researchers they have are at Mengele/731-levels of sociopathy when it comes to the status of the aliens, and subconsciously if not admittedly desire every alien dead - them being un-salvageable makes their extermination far easier to justify. The only scientist they have who might approach the problem in a way that potentially saves them is ''Cyborg'' - and they are specifically keeping him away from live alien subjects because they ''know'' he's predisposed to aiding "traitors" like Trenchard!Akari.

I also want to see this universe because of the NightmareFuel. When the Titan’s hear about D-Kodachi what would their first thought be. I’ll tell you it will be OhCrap.

* Like XCOM this universe is more in the grey. However mostly the Titans would be considered Akira’s and woudn’t be taken remotely seriously which they would not take well. Also given the unfortunate nature of mental affair in that universe especially in relation to [[RapeAsBackstory Ranma]] don’t you think it would be kind of dangerous for T-Ryoga do to the fact he willingly allowed himself and jinx to stay coerced into loving each other.

** In Superran is what would happen if an amnesiac superman was intimate with Nodoka and Kryptonean ½ is what would happen if after burying Happosai Genma fled to america getting work at Kent Farm.

** What are Superan, and Kryptonean ½.

* I’d go with something simple like one of the Anime universes that follow superhero Tropes. Like Superan, Avenging, or Kryptonean ½.
