And when the Teen Titans roll into town chasing after their infamous nemesis, Deathstroke, Ashley just knows this is her chance to prove that Primer has what it takes to join the team. The only thing is, her parents still expect her to go to school and finish her homework—typical Dad and Yuka (umm…Mom) stuff! And best friend Luke keeps acting so weird every time her Titan dream gets brought up…but Ashley has it all figured out. If only they would just see that she can do this! Will Ashley learn what it means to be both a team player and a trustworthy friend…all while battling her newest foe?”
