In the far future, when Earth and superheroes are both long gone, Jamadagni "Jama" Renuka, a student at an educational space habitat, has a premonition of a great cataclysm. To prevent the cataclysm, Jama assembles a team based off the Teen Titans archetype to become heroes and save their space colony. This team consists of her ex-boyfriend Alec, a cyborg girl named Gabrielle and Hikarimono, a dead teen resurrected by an energy being in his body. For further aid, Jama puts in a chip in Alec that gives him the personality of the late Batman. Once the team is ready, the colony is attacked by warbeasts, which they are ultimately able to defeat. Unfortunately, Alec does not survive the fight.

* AllMythsAreTrue: Jamadagni Renuka is a magician who is able to cast spells from any system of magic -- even systems that explicitly contradict each other, or aren't commonly perceived as magic. Jama knows this, and she doesn't actually ''believe'' in any of it, but everything still works for her. The entire story is her attempt to stop a disaster she foresees by invoking a super team origin -- specifically, the start of the Wolfman-Perez ''Titans'' -- because that would mean the good guys would win.
Added DiffLines:
* TitleDrop: Jama is able to use the [[RockPaperScissors scissors, paper, stone]] game as a set of BoringButPractical spells -- "Stone" as a blunt force attack, or "Scissors" to slice apart a warbeast. Witchy-Poo also uses an {{Instant Rune|s}} ofuda as a shield, although she doesn't call that attack as "Paper".

During Jama's informal briefing of the team, she explains that she wanted to recreate the Titans' origin in order to invoke the tropes in superheroic mythology -- most importantly, that the good guys win, and nobody gets hurt in the end. At the end, Captain Thug tries to explain that some tragic deaths are inevitable after TakingTheBullet for Witchy-Poo.
