I'm shocked that this hasn't been posted yet.
S P O I L E R S . . .
Johns sets up the future Aqua Girl as a Titan on the first page. He also sets up a good adversary for Beast Boy in the Zookeeper. Not a surprise there. Robin reports to Superboy that he's back.
The surprises come in the form of Donna in Ares mirror. Supposedly she and the current Wonder Girl (Cassie) will turn the tide in an upcoming great battle. That's why he gave her her lasso which channels Zeus's lightning.
The second surprise was a Legion cameo. I wasn't expecting that. For those of you not buying TITANS, here you go the last page of TEEN TITANS #15 -

I just noticed. Is that 21st Century writing in the first panel? Come on guys! Do your homework!

This was another fine issue of Titans and a nice close for Gar's current storyline. The art work and writing were as brillant as usual. This book really does ROCK!!! The highlight was of course the Donna "mirror cameo". The low point was two wasted pages of Wonderthing! Ugh! Maybe the return of Donna will right two wrongs, the first being Donna's "death" and the second being the creation of Wonderthing. Maybe (cross fingers) Donna will return and Cassie the nasty, rude, pathetic, little b$t*h w#or^ will die!! Oh, one can only hope. I noticed at the top of the In Demand page it announces three months to Legion. Thank God we have the Titans crossover to keep us tied over til December.

Egads. Sadly the first thing I noticed was how off the coloring on Brainy's costume is. Didn't catch the non-Interlac.
I'm intrigued by this prologue though! So, did the Persuader and crew have this planned all along when he went back into his cell? Will Legion World be majorly damaged/destroyed from this? Why is it so vital to send Superboy back now, in the middle of the attack?
I like this. Questions build-up suspense for the (hopefully) forthcoming answers. Thank you very much for posting this, Nighty!

Note that they're claiming it's Metropolis. Why the temporal stuff would be there when the remains of the Time Institute were moved to Legion World (and the time platform was there too last time we saw it, when Clark got sent back), is a mystery. Even if LW was already damaged beyond the point of being able to use it, that doesn't mean there should be anything in Metropolis they can use.

Upon thinking about it and realizing this is the Time Institute (or what's left of it) over Legion World, I wonder if Superboy is perhaps key to the Fatal Five's mysterious surprise? I assume he's their target if he and Brainy are being chased around like that and if Imra thinks Supes HAS to go, now. (Also, is this a sign that S.G. has been re-elected or simply a case of a senior Legionnaire taking command? Sorry, I love to speculate.)
I'm excited for this crossover, and I'm kind of shocked it's happening this month. I keep thinking it'll happen in October or sometime to be a happy medium between the Legion and LSH. I guess my body will have even more of a shock when we're rapidly punning/speculating on the new series the week before it comes out after a two month L* absence.

Damn and Blast. I'll have to go and buy this now. Hope the CBS still has a copy when i get out of work. Thanks Nighty, especially as there was no notice of this anywhere else.
curious that they got the colours on Brainy's costume wrong. (or did they)
Who's to say that this is "our" legion maybe its a hypertime version.

It would serve him right if Ronda (of SnoCone Studios ) messed with Gay's coloring.
Hmmm... Wonder how he would look like in pink?
