Synopsis

Tempus Fuginaut observes a Dark Multiverse version of The Judas Contract, where Dick Grayson, believing that Terra is living in the shadow of her brother Geo-Force, convinces her that she should not be afraid to live her own life and not follow the expectations of others. Terra follows that advice to betray and kill Deathstroke and then to kill all the Titans and to subsequently destroy most life on Earth.

Indexer Notes

Story follows the events of The New Teen Titans (DC, 1980 series) #39, where Kid Flash quits the Titans and Dick decides to stop being Robin. But a slight variation of events results in a very different outcome.
