BB and the team decided to split off; however, Beast Boy and his newfound friends learned that the Gordanians were the true threats. He joined Robin, Cyborg and Raven in protecting Starfire and Jump City.

In the aftermath, the future team went on an island, where Titans Tower would eventually be built. He joked to Raven, who admitted he was kind of funny.

After being given a Titans communicator by Robin in case they needed each other again, Beast Boy and his four friends founded the Teen Titans. Cyborg built Titans Tower on the island where they stood, and the team went to live there, and set it up as their headquarters. BB got his own room but never explored his past with his friends.
