《Young Justice: The super soldier》 1 The new hero As I was starting to wake up for some reason I can''t open my eyes but luckily I can still hear sounds, as I was still trying to move I started hearing footsteps and a voice, I disabled the door. We''re safe." "We''re trapped." said the other in a dark tone, then a third voice called out "uh guys" trying to catch the attention of the other two voices."You''ll want to see this." After a few seconds, the first voice said in amazement "Whoa!". ''looks like I''m in the scene where they meet him'' I knew who was talking they were Aqualad, kid flash, and Robin from a tv series I use to watch and I''m sure you can already guess right now but I have reincarnated or is it transported I don''t know but I do know I''m not gonna bore you with details how I talked to God he gave me my wishes like the novels said and they are. 1.supreme knowledge 2.the super soldier serum 3. Captain America''s shield made out of vibranium 4. A backstory in this universe 5. An inventory filled with money and materials Surprisingly God is actually a fan of Dc and Marvel movies so he could already tell this was an interesting idea so he said and quote "you know what man there''s gonna be some surprises in store just you wait" after he said this he sent me here, as I was listening to the three heroes my head started to hurt really bad if I could move I would have fallen to the ground, after a few minutes it went away leaving memories but also taking away my old ones like taking away where I use to live, who my family was, even who I was the only memories I have left is of when I was talking to God and some movies and tv shows I watched in the past. While I was dealing with what was going in my head kid flash yelled out "also who''s this guy and why is he frozen?" causing Robin and Aqualad to look at a teenager in an ice box " looks like a cryogenic chamber but by the looks of it the chamber just keeping him on ice" Robin said, "Robin hack" Aqualad commands. Getting caught off guard taking a couple of seconds to register what Aqualad said to him "oh right, right" he plugs his connector into the console, as it asks for a password robin begins to bypass the program after a few seconds it works and lets him and then a file shows up on his gauntlet, "Weapon Designation Superboy, a clone force-grown in¡­ sixteen week?!" his eyes popping in shock. "From DNA acquired from Superman and that guy from the ice.". "stolen you mean" Aqualad accuses. "no way the big guy knows about this" kid flash agrees. "the solar suit allows him to absorb yellow-sun radiation 24/7" robin adds. "And these creatures?" Aqualad questions pointing at the gauntlet. "Genomorph Gnomes, telepathic, force-feeding him an education." Robin relays sourly. "And we can guess what else." Kid Flash says, capturing the attention of the other two. "They''re making a slave out of, well, Superman''s son." "what about the man in ice?" Aqualad asks. "let''s see here, apparently his name is Steve Rogers and in his file, it says he has.." after reading a bit more he went quiet and his eyes glued to the screen on his gauntlet "this is incredible, his DNA is completely enhanced its nothing I have ever seen before". "Now we contact the League." Aqualad says, and there''s no objection. In fact as Aqualad reaches for his emblem, Kid Flash goes to his lightning bolts and Robin attempts it from his hologlove. All of them get nothing. "No signal." Robin verifies. "We''re in too deep literally." Kid Flash says. As they were saying this Steve was listening to the whole thing ''ok so my backstory is working that''s good but how am I going to get out of here?'' no matter how much Steve tried to get out of the ice it will immediately repair because of the temperature of the chamber ''seriously?'' as this was going yelling could be heard outside of the steel door. "Use your telekinesis!" Desmond commands. "I have tried to no avail." genomorph responds. "Useless! This is debacle." one of the voices yelled"Get some G-trolls down and muscle the door open now!". As the yelling was going on outside the three teenage heroes were still trying to figure out how to escape without getting caught, after a few minutes all the genomorph''s horns started to glow red and they began to hiss. "This is wrong." Kid Flash finally says. "We can''t leave them like this" Robin agrees. Both are now looking to a concentrating Aqualad. "Set them free." he decides, then turns to Robin. "Do it." Without another word, Robin begins to work on it. All three than step back as one of the pods open and falls away, the physically 16 years old Superboy remains calm staring at the three what happened next made Aqualad worry, superboy clinches his fist after a few seconds he launches himself at them, meanwhile in the ice Steve''s thoughts were ''well this sucks''. A few hours later... Alarms started going off ''looks like they escaping lucky...wait'' at that moment Steve realized something his the ice is melting ''okay time to get to work'' and begins to use all his strength on the ice cracking it, meanwhile Kid Flash, Aqualad, Robin and Superboy are escaping Cadmus and they ran into dubblix, everyone started getting ready for a fight but one of the G-gnomes horns begin to glow setting a chain reaction as all the other G-gnomes horns glow making all the teens fall to the ground. Only Superboy falls to his knees. As that was going on with the teen heroes the 16-year-old Steve Rogers broken out of the ice and began running the same direction as the teens before, ''okay so where''s my shield'' after he thought this his inventory popped up showing multiple items and cash with what looks like never ending zeros ''umm what? I only wanted some cash not this much where does the zeros end?'' Before he knew it he climbed up the elevator and appeared right at the broken vent. ''Left, right, right, left and I''m here whoa I''m fast'' when he finally made it at the location of were Superboy finds out dubblix helped him, guardian was knocked out and they were already gone leaving a Giant size hole in the roof ''okay so they went this way'' before putting his shield on his back and parkouring into the main floor of the building only to see the heroes battle a monster, ''that must be blockbuster''. Meanwhile, Kid Flash ran underneath blockbuster and stayed on the ground while Superboy and Aqualad did a combo and double punched blockbuster making him trip over kid flash "learned that in kindergarten" Robin then jumped above and over Kid Flash throwing birdarangs at blockbuster, but he simply knocks them away and tries to get up and to see Superboy try to grab him so he runs at superboy tackling him into a pillar of the building and punching him, as he was about to punch Superboy again, his arm got grabbed by water stopping him when he turned around he got kicked in the head as Aqualad used him as a launch pad launching him above Aqualad turned his water into a mace only to be stopped throwing him away as he was about to throw Superboy away as well *bang* as a flying circle shield hit him the head sends him flying dropping Superboy, after hitting blockbusters head the shield then started but walls before someone catches it "mind if i join in?". "Iceman has joined in on the party" Kid Flash says. "okay line up i have a plan to stop this monster once and for all" Steve then begins explaining the plan to bring down the pillars and make the building crash down onto blockbuster "do you all understand what to do" they all gave a nod and started to spread out. First up was Kid Flash, his job was to do hit and run keeping blockbuster away from Robin who was planting the explosives while Aqualad, Superboy, Steve hit blockbuster with combos while he was busy. When blockbuster turned around Steve threw his shield behind his leg making him trip over onto his back, seeing this opportunity Superboy leapt into the air landing on top of him, not fazed blockbuster grabs Superboys head and slams him to the ground, as he was about to punch his head and finish it blockbuster got sent flying by Aqualad who hit with a water mace, blockbuster got up and roared. "Is it ready yet!" Steve called out. "umm problem, I''m out of explosives I only could plant 2 " Robin yelled back. "okay Aqualad, Superboy destroy the rest of the pillars Kid Flash you get ready to get us out of here Robin back me up I''m gonna keep the monster busy" after Steve gave the order everyone split up and done their jobs. While the did that Steve ran and launched blockbuster with his shield hitting him in the head while Robin jumped into the air by launching himself with Steves shield, while Robin was in the air he threw multiple birdarangs and smoke bombs towards blockbuster but it didn''t faze him but luckily the smoke was thick enough so Robin and Steve could do combos, when the smoke clears blockbuster roared again as Robin was about to hit him again he got sent flying but luckily Kid Flash caught him in time. "hey monster you dealing with me now" before blockbuster react he got punched multiple times in the gut, face and Steve even done a leg sweep making him trip, blockbuster was furious he got up and went to throw a punch but Steve blocked it with his shield which made him go back a few feet Steve was surprised at first but when he looked up at blockbuster he was shocked because the monster blockbuster broke his arm from steves shield ''wow vibranium is strong''. "you want to do the honours, Robin?" Steve yelled out. Robin just grinned and said "my pleasure" before pulling out a switch and pressing it exploding the last 2 pillars causing the whole build to come down. "Kid flash get everyone out now I''ll stay back and handle him" Steve command "this place is coming down and you wanna stay are you insane?" Kid Flash replied "THAT''S AN ORDER!" Steve yelled back. Kid Flash was about to fight back only to realize that this place was gonna go down any second so without fighting he ran getting Superboy first then Aqualad and lastly Robin when he was about to run back into the building to get Steve the building came down "NOOO" everyone was stunned including Superboy but soon realized, he was outside and the firat time he saw the moon but soon realized someone was flying towards them. ? ? 2 The league Superboy was starting at the moon until he saw something flying towards them it was getting closer and closer until a man in blue and red shows up with an S symbol on his chest, it none other than Superman. "and there''s Superman, do we keep our promises or what?" kid flash says. Martian Manhunter, Zatara, Captain Marvel, and Red Tornado fly behind the Big Blue Boyscout. Followed by Shazam, Hawkman, Wonder Woman, Hawkwoman, and the first Green Lantern. The second Green Lantern brings a platform for the Leaguers who can''t fly; Black Canary, Aquaman, Batman, and Green Arrow. As Batman steps up to Superman, Flash zooms in, standing to Batman''s left. The first to step is Superboy, staring at a superman before raising a torn front part of his shirt showing the S symbol, Superman''s eyes widened in shock while Superboys features soften. Only to Superman''s gaze to turn hard and cold, bringing on the annoyed face of Superboy. "is that what I think it is?" Batman questions. "he doesn''t like being called an "it"." Kid Flash replies stepping up and putting his left hand towards Superboy. Superboy was about to speak but instead a voice called out "he is Supermans clone, well kinda" a figure who called out is now standing on top of the wreckage wearing a blue, white, red with a star on the chest on his face is a half mask (A:N think of Captain America: winter soldier suit with a wally west kid flash mask without the wings sticking out the side...kinda wish I had a picture) and his shield on his back, it was none other than Steve Rogers, after seeing him alive Kid Flash was shocked. "and you are?" Batman said in a questioning tone. "you can call me Steve Rogers but I prefer cap." Steve said walking towards Batman "so Steve care to tell us what you mean by clone," Batman said in his interrogation tone "He''s Superman clone but he also has another separate DNA, mine." as he said this Steve walks towards Superboy and held his hand out for a handshake "i always wanted a brother, what do you say?". Superboy was stunned for a minute but soon raised his hand as well went in for the handshake while saying "please to meet you...brother" as this was going on Superman still had his cold and hard glare staring at Superboy. A few minutes later... After Robin and the other teens started explaining everything that happened, the green lanterns to blockbuster away while everyone Stayed behind and checked the wreckage some were talking like Superman with Wonder Woman and Martian Manhunter while Batman, Aquaman and Flash was still talking to the proteges. "Cadmus will be investigated," Batman says drawing the teens'' attention to him "all 52 levels but let''s make one thing clear-" "You should have called." Flash pipes up, even catching Batman''s attention. "End results aside, we''re not happy." Batman growls. "You hacked Justice League systems, disobeyed direct orders, and endangered lives. You will not be doing this again." "I am sorry, but we will." Aqualad states strongly, even Robin steps up slightly. "Aqualad, stand down." Aquaman tries to command the older teen. "Apologies, my king," his voice once more "but no" Aquaman than raises his eyebrow catching his attention "We did good work here tonight, the work you trained us to do. Together on our own we forged something powerful, important." "If this is about your treatment at the Hall, the three of you-" the flash chimes in trying to understand but completely fails. Before he could finish Kid Flash interrupts saying "The four of us, and it''s not." "Batman, we''re ready to do what you taught us, or why teach us at all?" Robin finally speaks up but he''s still quiet compared to the rest of the group. "Why let them tell us what to do?" Superboy than crosses his arms and steps up "It''s simple. Get on board or get out of the way." While all this was happening, Steve was sitting on some the wreckage of the building watching the team finally step up to their mentors and also he was going through his inventory seeing all the objects God gave him and so far he has a bunch of vibranium he also has Phoenix feathers and all the Captain America movie suits and he also has some of the gadgets Batman has in his Arsenal. "Steve, come over here," Batman said. So Steve decided to go along with it and got up and walked over to him "yes?" "you will be coming with us for now and we have some questions for you," Batman said before walking off. A few days later.... (A:N don''t remember when...) Green Lantern and Captain Atom are flying large pieces of equipment around the Mountain, but in the Center stands all four teens, now dressed in civilian clothes with Batman, Aquaman, Flash, Hawkman, Black Canary, Red Tornado, and Shazam. Batman was the first to speak "This cave was the original secret sanctuary of the Justice League." "We''re calling it into service again. Since you four are determined to stay together and fight the good fight you''ll do it on League terms." Batman then walked away from the centre of the room "Red Tornado volunteered to live here and be your supervisor. Black Canary''s in charge of training. I will deploy you on missions." Robin speaks up "real missions?" "Yes, but covert." said Batman (A:N yeah...covert..totally) "The League will still handle the obvious stuff." Flash speaks up from behind Kid flash. "There''s a reason we have these big targets on our chest." "But Cadmus proves the bad guys are getting smarter. Batman needs a team that can operate on the sly." Aquaman adds. "The six of you will be that team." Batman states. "Cool! Wait." Robin realizes the problem. "Six?" Then Batman looks behind robin making the four turn to see Martian Manhunter with a green-skinned redhead teenage girl with him."This is the Martian Manhunter''s niece. Miss Martian." Batman says. The Martian girl then raised her hand and smiled saying "Hi." Kid flash was about to act like an idiot but soon realizes "wait I only count 5 of us now?" But then a voice called out behind Batman "did you guys forget about already?" Behind Batman is a dark-haired teenager with blue eyes and was devilishly handsome "looks like I also will be joining the team." it was none other than Steve. "who are you?" says kid flash causing Aqualad, Robin, to facepalm at his stupidity. "that''s Steve dumbass," said Superboy. Kid Flash begins to introduce Miss Martian to the team"Uh welcome aboard, I''m Kid Flash." pointing at himself"That''s Robin," Batman''s protege give a rock ''n'' roll sign, "Aqualad" the Atlantean gives a small nod, "and these two brothers are Superboy and..ahh" then leans over towards Steve and asks "what''s your hero name?" So Steve walks over and introduces himself "my hero identity is Captain American I also go by cap but please feel free to call me Steve" he then lets out a charming smile while going for a handshake causing Miss Martian to blush and nervously shake his hand. ''whoa, he''s got game'' thought kid flash The handshake lasted for a few seconds until Miss Martian to snap back to reality and say "I''m honoured to be included." "bro come introduce yourself to Miss M" Steve calls out to Superboy. Superboy then walks towards Miss Martian and goes for a handshake as well. She gladly shakes Superboy hands but while she was shaking his hands she began shapeshifting her costume to show a black shirt with a Red-x on it "I like your shirt" indicating Superboys black and red t-shirt causing him to give a small smile. Robin inclines his head slightly to Aqualad. "Today is the day." the Atlantean says proudly. 3 not chapter just wanna say something and some info about Relationships @@ First, holy crap! honestly I was never gonna post this novel because it was something I did out of boredom or was sick but when I posted the novel I did it because I was wondering what people would say about the idea in hopes someone would make their version of it never did I expect in just 2 chapters it gets so much support all I can say is thank you honestly I been reading every commentif I don''t answer when you ask a question I''m sorry it''s just I don''t wanna spoil it for later and I can''t figure out how to explain it with spoiling ya know? So again thank you and I hope you enjoy. Oh before I go I love character development and story so that''s why no harem but I love to explore relationships like stuff from comics and movies might happen with some of the characters and about the character he''s a bit confusing but he basically is Tony Stark and Steve Rogers mixed together without the womanizer part and Steves old fashioned ways (which I like but I wanted to do something different with the character) so he has the morals of both Stark and Steve. Some might be wondering (i want to know more about relationships on this novel) well I can''t explain much but it''s gonna be really cool for characters true development of them like Superboy and Wendy could go out (took me a while to figure out a good couple and I haven''t decided if this will happen since I''m a sucker for Superboy+Miss Martian) . Anyways that''s all, for now, I hope you enjoy the rest of the series (which season 1 then a break then start season 2) peace out ??.@@ 4 The League Meeting In the watchtower, all the heroes gather Batman, Wonder Woman, Superman, Flash, Aquaman etc. They were in the meeting to think of a solution for their proteges but first, there was an elephant in the that had to be addressed. "we all know why this meeting had to be called" Batman spoke up first getting everyone attention "First we need to discuss what are we gonna do with Superboy and Rogers." "I say we interrogate both of them, they could be a threat," Superman said while crossing his arms and for a sec had an irritated/worried face which Batman noticed but didn''t say anything about it. "that Rogers kid as compiled so far, I say we talk to them instead of interrogating them" Wonder Woman finally spoke up. "it won''t easy to interrogate Rogers anyway" everyone was surprised when they heard this because it was Batman the one who could interrogate someone in seconds with just using his words. "and why is that?" The Flash asked before anyone can get a word out. "i did some digging on this kid named Steve Rogers" after saying this Batman clicked a screen on his gauntlet and holograms of files and video feeds showed up in the middle of the table where all the league was sitting. Batman continued "he said the truth about his real name but what he didn''t tell us was who he is" files started showing up on small screens around the table so all the league can look through it. As all the league went through files their eyes went wide "Why haven''t we heard of him and how did you get these files?" Superman asked curiously. "I hacked into the government''s files including Cadmus and why we haven''t heard of him its because they deemed it classified." Batman continued as he got up and went to the hologram in the middle of the room pressing on it showing footage. In the black and white footage, there was a man in a lab coat working "His father was a scientist who was working on a way to make soldiers stronger, faster, perfect eyesight and hearing so basically making a super soldier" Batman said. "That''s crazy how can someone hide such a discovery" flash asked confused on why the kid hasn''t even been experimented on. "because of all the subjects of his experiment on they all went crazy including his 1st son," Batman said. While Batman was talking Wonder woman wasn''t taking notice as she was thinking about the Steve Trevor her old love but when she started taking notice she looked at the pictures and Wonder Woman''s eyes went wide and yelled "I know this kid" catching ever one''s attention. "how?" Batman questioned he knew Wonder Woman lived a long time, in fact, she was in world war 2. "he rescued a few soldiers that were captured he also charged the front lines like me" after hearing wonder woman''s words all the league eye were in shock except Batman. "how come you never brought this up when we meet him?" Batman questioned wonder woman because she held valuable information that Batman needed. "its because I only saw him when I charged the front lines I thought it was just another crazed soldier that got lucky and the other things were just rumours that were told...so I thought," Wonder Woman answered back. "fine do you know anything else?" Batman asked trying to get as much information on him as possible. "not much all I know is he was hope for many soldiers its strange to learn that same hero was a kid," Wonder Woman said amazed. "okay from what the files say about his abilities is he has agility, strength, speed, endurance, and reaction time superior to an athlete not that his IQ roughly is more than 400 probably smarter" everyone''s jaws were about to drop at Batman last words. Letting them calm down Batman continued "that his physical and mental capabilities but his skills are something else" Batman then clicks another button on his gauntlet before another file popped up on the hologram "his skills in combat are impressive he comprehension of martial arts is on another level and he knows every language known to man he also can fit in unnoticed anywhere he goes." "so a perfect soldier?" the flash cuts in. "in simple terms..yes," Batman says before walking back to his seat and sitting down. But at the end of the table, everyone was taking in this knowledge while Shazam whispered to green lantern ''did he just compliment someone?'' green lantern a just gave a nod. "but that''s just Steve he''s brother is a different story" another file popped up on the hologram. "wait, I thought you said he went crazy," Aquaman says confused. "he did and his name is John Rogers he disappeared around the time Steve did" everyone was completely paying attention to the screen because wanted to know more so batman continued "he has the same abilities except for no morals of life extremely ruthless, he joined the other side during world war 2 as a scientist and one of the inner circle." "what happened to their father than?" Wonder woman asks curiously. "after giving his second son the serum he was captured by the government and he ended up committing suicide in prison a few days later" when Batman said this the league''s faces went into sadness for Steve after all his brother went crazy and his father killed himself. "wait why did he give it to his son then killed himself days later?" Superman questions. "because steves father got fired by the government but continued to work on it and since he had no test subjects-" before Batman can finish Wonder Woman speaks for him. "since he had no test subjects he used it on his son" after she said this all the heroes faces go dark. "yes, and when they raided the lab to take his research the formula was gone and his notes were burned" then Batman continued "only leaving Steve behind they tested his blood but nothing came of it, so for 4 years they trained and sent him to war." "wait he looks 16 though...wait you don''t mean" the Flash''s face went pale before Batman can finish his sentence. "yes, he got his abilities at age 12 and trained until 15 and went to war then disappeared at 16," Batman said with a little anger in his tone it didn''t get noticed by most of the league but the ones close to him noticed. "I''m almost afraid to ask but how did he disappear?" Superman questioned looking at Batman for answers. "the last file says he had been K.I.A" everyone''s face was pale but confused. "what do you mean K.I.A?" shazam asked. Only to be answered by Martian Manhunter "he was killed in action..or so the report says." "we don''t have enough information on him which brings me to another matter, I want to put all our proteges in a team for covert missions after today we need to make a team Cadmus or the Villans doesn''t know about so we can be one step ahead of them" with one look around the table batman continues "raise your hand if against it" only to see no hands in the air. "then it''s settled and one more thing before this meeting ends...who is gonna be Steves Mentor? He needs guidance to stay on the right path, so anyone wants to volunteer?" Batman says waiting for a volunteer... 5 Living in Quarter’s It''s been one day since I moved into mount justice but I still haven''t explored but today is the day I can find my new room because I don''t think sleeping on a sofa is gonna do my back any good. As I was walking around I saw Miss Martian looking around as if she was lost. "uhh, are you okay?" as Steve said this Miss Martian jumped from being frightened. "Oh, it''s you, I was just trying to find my around but I can''t seem to figure this place out," said Miss Martian after calming herself. "it''s understandable, honestly I''m lost too so if you want, we can explore this place together but I must warn you if we end up in Mexico it''s my fault," Steve said. "sure, but what''s Mexico?" Miss Martian said confused. "nevermind it''s just a joke, anyway before we go what''s your name? Since we''re teammates now we gotta know each other''s names" Steve asked. "its M''gann M''orzz but you can call me Megan" Megan replied After that, we started walking around the base for the rest of the day surprisingly it has a bunch of places that were not seen in the Tv series like for instance there''s a library and a massive garage and some science labs there was also a gym but on the way, I found a bedroom perfect for me it was big enough to have any vehicles and a small gym I could use also there was a workshop to work on some gadgets so I decided to officially claim it as my own. After half the day ended I escorted Megan back to her room only to find Superboy down the hall from her quarters, so I decided to spend time with my brother. "bro you wanna hang out for a bit? I''m about to go out into town" Steve said calling out Superboy. "Sure I don''t mind just give me a sec" as Superboy said this he went into his a room only to came out with a jacket. After Superboy got ready we started to leave then I decided to ask Megan if she wanted to go with us and she agreed so we took the ship into town. The first thing we did upon arriving was to go to the movies. "how about this movie it''s called the notebook I heard it''s good" Megan asked. "Hell No!" both me and superboy replied making Megan sulk. "look how about this? it''s a comedy" said Superboy. When I looked at the picture I was confused ''isn''t that the hangover?'' without thinking too much about it, I brought the tickets for the three of us and went inside and watched the movie, I never heard Megan laugh so much, in fact, I thought she wouldn''t like this kind of movie even Superboy was laughing. As we kept watching the movie I witnessed something...Superboy did the yawn and reach I couldn''t help but smile and give my brother a thumbs up. After the movie, we decided to go eat after looking around we came across a small diner which didn''t have many customers but Megan looked excited about it so we went inside and got something, the server walked up to us and asked what we''re having I ordered a burger with fries and a milkshake while Megan ordered a burger with a coke and superior ordered fries with a coke, we sat there for a while laughing and talking. "haha, anyways I meant to ask what are your powers anyways Megan?" asked Steve. "Oh I have basically the same as my uncles even though I haven''t mastered most them yet," Megan said embarrassed "although I can turn invisible I also can move things with my mind and Oh and I can talk to you guys telepathically." After hearing this Superboy tensed up but before he could cause a scene I calmed him down, "Oh sweet, show me, try to read my mind." I said with a smile. "Okay I''ll try" Megan then closed her eyes and tried talking to me telepathically but soon after was confused "weird I can''t seem to enter your mind it almost like it''s blocking me" "weird? Okay, let try something" after I said this I closed my eyes and envisioned a door opening "okay..try now." Megan then closed her eyes again and concentrated only to be surprised "okay I can talk to you in your mind now" she told me telepathically. "cool I''ll leave it open from now on so you talk to me whenever you feel like it but I wouldn''t recommend doing it on other people without permission even though I don''t mind they will probably have issues with it," Steve said back to her telepathically. "what are you guys talking about?" Superboy finally speaks up. "nothing just telling her people on earth would probably have issues if does it without permission," Steve says shrugging "anyways enough about that its time for something important". After I said this Superboy and Megan leaned in and listened "its time for my brother to have a name." "Oh that''s right Superboy doesn''t have a name yet, how about Connor?" Megan says. "Hmm, how about Connor Kent?." Steve offers while thinking ''hopefully I don''t screw anything up'' "Oh, As in Dr. Fate, Kent Nelson." Megan says brightly. "Yea I guess," Steve says looking at Megan. "Okay, sure. I guess it''d be an honour or something." Superboy grumbles. (now Connor) "we need to get back to base I actually got stuff planned tomorrow," Steve says while paying for their meals. "what you got planned tomorrow?" Megan asks. "well I''m building a new suit actually it''s about time I changed it," Steve says as he puts on his leather jacket. On the way back to mount justice was pretty normal Connor was tired so he took a nap and Meghan was piloting the ship so I just relaxed but in my head, I was deciding what suit to make but he and idea for the suit I liked in the comics. When arriving everyone went to their rooms while I went into mine and started working first I went online and brought a motorcycle I wanted because why not and a few cars to fill up my garage and some electronics, computers, materials everything I need to build. 4 days later... Everything I ordered online was ready but I needed to pick them up since this was a secret thing I was hiding from the league so I asked Megan to fly me since I don''t know how to use the ship, I also got Connor to come with us so he can chat with Meghan while I went and done my business. When we arrived I told Connor and Meghan to stay in the shop at first Megan was sulky but I told her telepathically. "look I''m leaving you and Connor ALONE if you catch my drift, I know how you look at him, so talk while I get my stuff I should be less then 12 minutes..have fun" as I leave I see Megan blushing like a tomato. 6 Back in Style Mount Justice July 10th... As I look around my garage in my room I couldn''t be prouder, I''ve never dreamed of having these cars and Motorcycles. ''time to get work'' I thought. First I cut the wall making a square hole showing many cords ''first I need to rid of the camera in my room'' it took me about an hour to find it and when I was about to cut it a knock was at my door ''that was slow, thought they would be here sooner'' and I cut the wire turning off the cameras in my room. ''now I think about it wouldn''t be easier just to smash them?'' I thought as my door open and a furious batman walked in. Batman stand right in front of me staring me down "there are rules you need to follow and doing this is breaking them" he said still glaring. (A:N doing 3 person point of view now) "yea, you can keep your cameras around the hallway and base but not my room," Steve said staring back at Batman without fear which was seen by Connor and Megan at the door. "Watch. Your. Tone" Batman said leaning in while glaring at Steve but he was unfazed. So Steve stepped closer "or what?" seeing Batman and Steve about to have a fight Meghan quickly jumped in the middle of them. "stop now," Meghan said with a slight bit of anger. "I don''t want a fight but I won''t back down either," Steve said still not fazed by Batman. With one last glare bat, an turned around and left but before got out the door he turned back and said " I came to tell you I''m your new mentor I thought you should know". This surprised Steve he didn''t think he was getting a mentor and now, he pissed him off, what could happen? all he could do is sigh and continue working on his room and the suits for the next few days. July 16th... It was the day before meeting mister twister and Steve got a lot done, luckily he had basically an unlimited supply of vibranium so he built a massive vibranium vault and made suits for the whole team but decided to store them away with multiple weapons he even made an arc reactor to power up his room and a suit built to fight stronger enemies but he decided it was best to store it away in case of emergency since the suit itself was dangerous if it landed in the wrong hands. (think of a massive vault full of weapons and armour) As for his new suit, it took him a while to figured out what Captain America suit he wanted to make and it was black and red, blue and whiteBucky Barnes Captain America suit #34 2008 laced with vibranium alloy and Kevlar/Nomex (the novels cover). And also for the past few days, he built a secret base away from the league''s eyes it was 30 times bigger and better than his room, he called it ''The Sanctuary'' it was hidden underground the walls were covered in multiple materials such as led so Superman can''t use x-ray vision and a lot of vibranium so no matter how strong Superman and the Justice league is they won''t get through. The whole reason Steve made this bunker was just in case the Justice league or Villans go rouge you never know what will happen and the last thing he made was an AI called ''Jarvis''. (had to do it) In the sanctuary... "Jarvis activate base''s defence systems " Steve yelled out while underneath a panel that was hooked up to a massive screen. "right away sir" after a few seconds the whole base lightened up showing jets, planes, cars and a huge display of suits "congratulations sir all defence systems are online." "Great, you gotta admit me doing this in just a few days is impressive," Steve said getting up from underneath the panel only to see a robot acting like a Butler hold a drink on a large saucer(i think that''s what it''s called). "thank you, Android 170" Steve said picking up the drink from the saucer and drinking it as the Butler android left. "Sir I recommend you store everything in the vault here you never know what could happen while you are away from Mount Justice," Jarvis said whit concern in his voice. "don''t worry I already put half of my weapons in the vault here and the other half is in an impenetrable vault at the base," Steve said dismissing Jarvis worries, it''s not like he''s not worried it just everything that he left is either incomplete or a failed project. Sitting back down Steve looked at the screen and began working "Jarvis open file bug spray." Star city-docks July 17th... In the cover of the night, two people are unloading a truck. As they remove the first long, flat, container an arrow drops between the two of them. Red fletching showing off and the nock blinks bright red before releasing gas. The two stumble and the container goes flying, popping open to reveal a high-tech gun. Which slides to the feet of one of their associates. He takes aim, the barrel gaining three red streaks. He looks at the construction set up over his head, finally zeroing in on Speedy, who seems to have fully ditched the hat. "You again!" Brick yells at the teenager. "I''m starting to get insulted Green Arrow''s not messing up my operation personally." then narrows his eyes as he aims for Speedy. The Arrow-themed protog¨¦ dives right grabbing onto next support column, just barely staying in front of the shots. As Brick shoots at the bridge that he nearly grabbed he drops down one level and runs across that bridge instead. Brick shoots just in front of the young man, who changes his momentum so he flips as he nocks an arrow and releases it. Shooting it right down the barrel, causing it explode in Brick''s hand, even shredding his suit. "Do you know what I pay for suit in my size?!" he yells even more angry at the Arrow-themed 18-year-old. "Scorch the Earth, boys." he commands. The other four raise their guns to do just that, but a blur comes through and two of them are suddenly left weaponless. The other two turn towards where the blur ran off to, only for their guns to be knocked out of their hands. Robin swings into an opening in the crates with his happy cackle. Bring their attention right to Aqualad. The Atlantean drops down with his water-bears turning into whips which hit the smugglers in full force. Knocking them into the back of the truck and to the ground, unconscious. Brick lifts a chunk of concrete and throws it at Speedy who is also using the crates to his advantage as he waits to strike with his already nocked arrow. He comes to a stop, bracing himself in a downward diagonal with his foot on one of the crates as he launches an arrow that explodes as it hits Brick''s massive shoulder. It doesn''t stop the metahuman from throwing another piece of concrete at Speedy. However, this time Speedy jumps out of the way, nocking another arrow as Aqualad jumps where Speedy was with a mace and sword formed from his water-bearers. Chopping the concrete in two. Giving Speedy the opening to hit Brick with a gas arrow. Speedy walks to the slightly out of breath Aqualad as he releases the magic that lets his water-bearers take shape. "The cave is perfect. It has everything the team will need." the Atlantean tell the older hero. "For covert missions." Robin says dropping down behind Speedy. "You know, spy stuff." Kid Flash runs up the crates and lands just shy of the edge with inverted half. "And wait till you see Superboy and Miss Martian." he says excitedly. "But I saw her first." The gas wasn''t enough to take out Brick, which is made clear as he lets loose another war cry and throw another piece of concrete at the four conversing teenagers. Speedy, Robin, and Kid Flash all dive out of the way, but Aqualad remains firm. Taking out the concrete with twin maces. Speedy uses two arrows that stick to Brick''s chest and release three spurts of flame to knock him back. Though the villain just chuckles. "Tell Arrow he shouldn''t send boys to do a man''s job." Speedy nocks another arrow taking aim. Brick stands tall his arms out wide. "Go ahea-" before he could finish a metal like Frisbee stuns him while Speedy grinds his teeth as he shoots this arrow. Which hits and for a moment nothing happens, then foam releases from the capsule stuck to Brick and traps him in it. Kid Flash skids to a stop crouched under Speedy''s aim, just in case. "High-density polyurethane foam. Nice." "who''s the new guy? Speedy questions with a serious look "huh, who are yo-" before Robin can finish. *BANG* A loud bang can be heard behind Aqualad who into his fighting stance so did Speedy, Robin and Kid Flash they were ready for a fight until a 16-year-old teenager came out of the shadows wearing a black suit with red and white stripes leading to a star in the middle, on his head was a ''A'' and wings on the side of it and around his waist was a utility belt that held a gun (rubber bullets) and a Knife.(basically the cover hate explaining what people look like) "Wait, Cap? what are you doing here?" Kid Flash asked who was shocked he never expected to see Steve. "I came to star city to pick up a few things and I heard some thugs talking about a deal going down so I followed them only to find you guys here," Steve said while walking past them to introduce himself to Speedy. Steve held out his hand and said "The names Captain America but you can call me Cap" still holding his hand out Speedy looks and scoffe and leaves but in order to fully get out of the docks, he needs to walk past Robin and Aqualad. Who stand on either side of two crates that create a path that will lead right out of the docks, if you know the way. "So, Speedy, you in?" "Pass." the oldest says strongly but does pause to give them the answer. "I''m done letting Arrow and the League tell me what to do. I don''t need a babysitter or a clubhouse to hang out with the other kids. Your Junior Justice League is a joke." Aqualad stops leaning against the crate. "Something to keep you busy and in your place." Speedy growls looking right to Robin before walking off. "I don''t want any part of it." All three can only watch as their oldest friend, and the one the three of them look up to not only turns it down but insults it as well. Then they turn to each other with shocked expressions. ''so that''s Red Arrow'' Steve thought. Mount justice July 17th.. Both boys appear in their civilian clothes. Smiling brightly, then running out of the Zeta Tube to the room they''re connected to. Finding Steve, Meghan, Aqualad, and Connor standing before a holoscreen. "Did you ask him?" Robin asks. "What did he say?" Kid Flash follows up. "He is arriving now," Aqualad tells the two of them as calmly. (when is he not?) Kid Flash friendly punches Robin the chest. "Then what are we waiting for?" before running off, Robin following close behind, and finally Aqualad. Leaving Megan, Steve and Connor, the green redhead smiles at the clone as she puts her hands on her hips. Connor turns, crossing his arms before walking off. Megan smiles and takes flight while to follow the boys leaving Steve following behind them. They arrive at one of the entrances which are a ramp that falls down into the cave from the ground above them. All five walk up the ramp, as Red Tornado lands before them. "Red Tornado!" Kid Flash calls out with a wave as the heroic android lands. "Greeting."The red machine says "Is there a reason you intercept me outside the cave?" his monotone voice makes it rather hard to discern the question portion of his sentence. "We hoped you had a mission for us." Aqualad conveys to the hero. "Mission assignments are the Batman''s responsibility." Red Tornado simply says. "But it''s been over a week and nothing-" Robin tries to talk, but was cut off by Red Tornado by raising his hand. "You''ll be tested soon enough." Red states firmly. "For the time being, simply enjoy each other''s company."(calling him Red for short) "This team is not a social club." Aqualad objects. No," Red Tornado agrees. "but I am told social interaction is an important team-building exercise. Perhaps you can keep busy by familiarizing yourselves with the cave." Tornado says, walking past the six teens and into the cave. Kid Flash turns to Robin, punching him in the shoulder again "Keep busy£¢the speedster says annoyed. "Does he really think we''re falling for this?" Robin questions angrily. "Oh, I''ll find out," Megan says, then turns towards Red Tornado and her expression relaxes slightly. A few seconds later Megan sighs. "I''m sorry, I forgot he''s a machine, inorganic. I¡­ cannot read his mind." "Nice try, though." Kid Flash offers "So, uh, you know what I''m thinkin'' right now?" he looks at Meghan with a flirtatious smile. "We all know what you''re thinkin'' now," Robin grumbles and elbows the Young speedster''s back. "Ow," he complains. "And now we tour the clubhouse," Aqualad says with a sour tone. "Well, us three live here, so we can play tour guides." Megan offers, looking to Connor and Steve who were talking. Robin and Kid Flash instantly turn to both of them finally getting their attention. "Don''t look at me," Connor tells them seriously. "Me either," Steve says soon after. "We won''t, A private tour sound so much better." Kid Flash says, looking to Meghan again. "Sh-she never said private." Robin objects. "Team building, We''ll all go," Aqualad says. They all turn to go back down the ramp, but Robin grabs Kid Flash''s arm and pulls him back. "So, this would be our front door¡­" Megan begins. But before they went inside Steve stopped realizing something ''finally this is the moment'' he then looks at the group and says "I''ll be back I gotta do something." before leaving back in the cave. Understanding Meghan continues the tour... After a few minutes, Meghan comes flying into the kitchen panicking only to see Steve eating while holding a plate of cookies. "Thank god, my cookies are fine," Megan said. "Damn right, they are," Kid Flash said with another flirtatious look causing Robin to facepalm himself. ''seriously do you have a filter? Because if not you need one'' Steve thought. "you made cookies? That''s very sweet of you" Aqualad said with a slight smile. (Finally a smile) as Robin walks up and grabs a cookie and eat it "where did you learn to make them? They''re great." Robin asks. "From the 17th- uhh chapter of a cooking book I found," Megan says. When Robin went to grab another one he realized the plate was empty only to see Steve and Kid Flash grinning, both realizing that Robin was glaring at them Kid Flash said helplessly "I have a serious metabolism." "Seriously!" Robin snapped. "I''ll make more" soon as Megan said this Robin turned around excited. "Sweet," he said while fist pumping the air. "thank you for making them anyway," Aqualad says calmly. (annnd smile gone) "Thanks, Aqualad," Megan says happily. "We''re off duty. Call me Kaldur''ahm." he insists. "Actually, my friends call me Kaldur." he clarifies with very little hesitance. "I''m Wally." Kid Flash speaks up, leaning on the island. "See? I already trust you with my secret ID, unlike Mr. Dark Glasses over here." Robin frowns and glares at Wally as he puts his hands on his hips, annoyed by the speedster''s slightly accusatory tone. "Batman''s forbidden Boy Wonder from telling anyone his real name." "His name is Dick Grayson," Steve says catching everyone attention "I had a few days so I did some background checking." "how? It''s impossible to figure it out" Robin says still shocked that he''s identity got exposed so fast. "i don''t think your identity is what you should worry about" after saying this Steve gave a signal to Megan for telepathic link ''Megan make a telepathic link just between me and Robin.'' ''Okay give me a second'' after a few seconds she gave a nod. So Steve said something that made Robin dicks face go pale ''don''t worry I won''t expose Bruce, "still shocked Steve adds ''I just thought you can tell him I figured it out and told the team so you won''t get in trouble later.'' After hearing this Robins'' face went to normal and said ''thanks but now you got to deal with him.'' Finally finishing what Steve needed to say he signalled Megan to stop the telepathic link which she did making her relax more ''it must have taken a lot to do that'' Steve thought. When Wally saw Megan relax he rushed over and started bugging Robin to figure out what happened (gonna keep the name Robin less awkward) so Robin whispered what happened which caused Wally to freak out. "Anyway, Mine''s no secret." The Martian admits brightly. "It''s M''gann M''orzz. But you can call me Megan. It''s an Earth name, I''m on Earth now." she seems really excited about that fact. "Connor Kent," Superboy says abruptly crossing his arms. "is there anything fun we can do here?" Robin questions. "Hello, Megan!" she says it brightly despite the fact that she hits her forehead with the heel of her hand. "I know what we can do." She takes off flying, leaving the five boys to follow her. Wally turns to Robin who shrugs, but all five follow her close behind everyone was Steve who was currently putting his shield on his back ''so far no dispute great everything is going as planned'' he thought. Robin turns and sees him putting on his shield asks "dude why are bringing your shield?" "I take it everywhere with me" Steve answers while walking past him. 7 The Team Assemble’s in Happy Harbor Coming down the elevator they stop at the hangar. "It''s my Martian Bioship," M''gann explains as the doors open. Leading the now curious boy towards a red oblong shape in the hangar. Cute." Wally says. "Not aerodynamic, but cute." "It''s at rest, silly." M''gann smiles bright, reaching her hand out. "I''ll wake it." as she does the oblong turns into a shape recognizable as a ship. She even spins 180¡ã with just a motion of her hand. A small staircase comes off the back, showing off some of the insides. She walks towards it but soon realizes the boys aren''t following. "Well, are you coming?" (for now on I''m using bit M''gann and Megan just so it doesn''t feel like a broken record) Four of them hesitate and board with nervous expressions except for Steve who was calm as if he saw it before. Once inside the front opens up to reveal a captain''s chair and five more side chairs. (Megan made the fifth chair on her ship if were wondering) "Strap in for launch." M''gann tells them. Kid Flash and Robin exchange bright grins before sitting down As he does Robin goes to lean forward as the chair moves, eliciting a "whoa" from the stunned- and possibly scared- Boy Wonder. The chair reaches out and creates chest restraints that hold the thirteen-year-old in place. Kid Flash sits down next and now knowing what happens, doesn''t panic. "Cool," he tells Megan. "Red Tornado," Megan says, sitting in the captain''s chair. "please open the bay doors." As the bay doors open two control towers form by M''gann''s hands. Once open the Bioship flies out at impressive speeds, only to slow just above the surface of the water and begin a near 90¡ã upward flight, before barrel rolling to face towards the mainland once more. "Incredible!" Robin tells Megan, more likely impressed with the responsiveness and her piloting skills than anything. "She sure is¡­" Wally agrees, but is entirely focused on M''gann, once she turns towards does he realize what he said. "I-I mean the ship, which like all ships, is a she." Robin is the first to point out Wally''s crappy attempt at covering up what he said. "Fast with his feet, not so much with his mouth." "Dude!" Wally yells, mostly embarrassed, but clearly still at least a little annoyed. "Hey, how ''bout showing us a little bit of Martian Shapeshifting?" Robin asks, Megan nods subtly before stepping up and gaining Kaldur and Superboy''s attention as her clothes begin to change. Making her look like a girlish version of Robin, costume included. Catching Wally''s smirk she turns into a girlish version of Kid Flash. "Is it wrong that I think I''m hot?" Wally questions. No one responds to him, and Robin applauds M''gann. "Impressive," she turns back into herself. "but you know you''re not exactly gonna to fool anyone with those." Megan smiles softly as she sits down. "Mimicking boys is a lot harder." "And your clothes?" the Atlantean questions. "They''re organic like the ship. They respond to my mental commands." M''gann explains, pulling on her jacket slightly. "Can you do that ghosting through walls thing Manhunter does?" Wally asks. "Density shifting?" M''gann questions, though her smile doesn''t return. "No, it''s a very advanced technique¡­" Robin leans forward. "Flash can vibrate his molecules right through a wall." Then chuckles before gesturing to Wally. "When he tries it, bloody nose." "DUDE!" Wally snaps, annoyed that he would tell her that. Listening to Robin ''I mean not if he had the speed force'' Steve thought. "Here''s something I can do." Megan says brightly, then the entire ship disappears from sight. "Camouflage Mode." "Red Tornado to Miss Martian. An emergency alert has been triggered at the Happy Harbor Power Plant. I suggest you investigate covertly. I''m sending coordinates." all four are on high alert as the ship bings. "Received. Adjusting course." Megan says. Robin scoffs. "Tornado''s keeping us busy again." Megan replies optimistically. "Well, a simple fire led you to Superboy. We should find out what caused the alert." as she takes the Bioship down and mere feet above the surface of the parking lot. Connor turns out the side window. "I think I know the cause." he says, right outside the Bioship is a tornado. Heading right for them. M''gann attempts to alter their course so not to be swept up but is unsuccessful and the Bioship glitches out of Camouflage Mode as they get fully entangled in the tornado. Trapped inside the tornado all of them hold on and grunt as the wind whips them around. M''gann manages to open her eyes and reorientate herself, as she does her brow drops in concentration and her hands firmly press on the control towers, illuminating them as she gets them out of the tornado and to the parking lot. Where Cap, Robin, Kid, Miss Martian, Superboy, and Aqualad all drop out of a door created in the bottom of the ship. At the Power Plant all the works are evacuating and screaming in fear. At the Power Plant all the works are evacuating and screaming in fear. "Robin, are tornadoes common in New England?" Aqualad questions, hearing no response he turns to where the Boy Wonder just was but finds the space between him and M''gann now empty. "Robin?" The Boy Wonder''s laugh echoes, but none of them can locate him. "H-he was just here." M''gann objects "So was Cap," Superboy says getting the attention of all four of them. Their attention turns back to the Power Plant where the windows are being blown out. Inside the Power Plant is a red and black exo-suit, with blue tubing running from his shoulders, up and to his lower back, and a brown scarf covering his mouth. Tornado-like funnels coming from each hand. The funnels hit Robin directly and slam him into the support pillar nearly eight feet off the ground, then him fall to the ground. Hitting his back both times. The other members of the Team running in through the loading bay doors, Superboy jumping the stairs to land beside Robin as the Boy Wonder sits up. "Who''s your new friend?" Robin looks to Superboy, grimacing at the motion. "Didn''t catch his name," the clone jumps at the villain. "but he plays kinda rough." he finishes, warning the clone. The exo-suit wearing villain stands ready, air pulses still coming from his wrists, though the bright blue tubing is now confirmed to be going to the tops of his wrists as well. "My apologies." he says, revealing his robotic tone. "You may address me as Mr Twis-" before he finished a metal frisbee hit him in the head making him fall. "What was that?" a voice on top the railing above the team echoed and it was soon shown to none other than Steve Aka Captain America catching his shield "Did you say something?." "Yo Cap where were you a few minutes ago? When I was getting my butt kicked" Robin asks while rubbing his neck. "I was surveying the area, Robin did you bring your belt?" Steve asks. "Never leave home without it-" Robin confirms and defends, clipping it together. "First thing Batman taught me." "Yeah, right after don''t go to the bathroom without it." Wally grumbles. "Kid Flash go and help the civilians and come back when you''re done" Steve commands. "why do I get stuck with evacuation duty when you guys can kick tin cans butt?" Wally asks only to get a Cold glare from Steve "hehe... on it" Kid awkwardly says before putting on his goggles and leaving. When Cap was about to make another order until Mr Twister threw multiple tornadoes at him so he dodges them by somersaulting of the railing and landing next to the team when he landed he look towards Miss Martian and pointed at his head which she understood. ''Team, can you hear me?'' Steve asks telepathically. ''yes we can, so what''s the plan on this guy down?'' aqualad answers back telepathically while dodging tornadoes. ''Miss Martian push him outside using your telekinesis, Aqualad try to get behind him and cut those blue wires near his neck and back, Robin help out Aqualad by blinding him with smoke and lastly both I and Superboy will hit with everything we got everyone got that?'' ''Got It!'' everyone shouted in unison first up was Megan she picked him up and threw him outside but he stopped himself mid-air and started to call a massive storm above him with vicious lightning but he was in position Robin threw multiple smoke bombs blinding him. "you think that will stop-" before he could finish Kaldur jumped above him cutting the blue cords stopping him from flying then both Superboy and Cap went first was The Captain dodging all of Mr Twisters punches and Tornadoes and returning multiple hits and backing him was Superboy using brute force making Mr Twister fall back near the pier both Superboy and Cap grin as they move aside and Speeding Kid Flash barges shoulder first into him sending Mr Twister into the ocean. A drowning Mr Twister finally had breathing room only to get smacked around again but this time it was Kaldur doing an underwater assault Since Kaldur was in his element he wiped the ocean floor with Mr Twister when he was done he sent him back flying onto the surface landing head first Mr Twister was already broken he had enough of this team of teenagers. Cap yelled "M''gann let''s finish this!" and threw his shield in the air so she could catch it with her telekinesis and send it through each of the arms cutting them off even with no arms Twister rises to his knees, only to find the whole Team before him. The chest panel opens, revealing a man, forty (ish) , medium length brown hair in a green and white suit. He falls out of the exo-suit and to the ground. "Foul. I-I call foul." he stutters. Steve gave a nod towards Megan as she telekinetically reaching over to pull up a massive slab of the ground. The rock hits, crushing him no one in the team attempted to stop Megan as they already figured it out Megan then begins to Lift the boulder to reveal another android, though now it''s in crushed pieces. "We should call Red Tornado and I already have an idea of who built this" Steve said as the starts to walk back to the ship. Wally steps up and grabs one of the eyeballs. "Cool. Souvenir." flicking in so he can catch it in in his fist as he looks to M''gann As the android''s eye turns red. The live feed from the eye is transmitting to a lab. A man in a blue work suit stands before the screen and a scientist in a white lab coat steps up to him with a chuckle. "Now, Brom, aren''t you relieved I didn''t let you wear the armor?" ''Brom'' turns revealing he is the one the android inside the exo-suit was based on. "Extremely, Professor," he admits shakily. "but you''re not upset?" "I''m convinced our tracking program was operational," this ''Professor'' says, he''s a taller, slightly tanner man than Brom, with black hair a small mustache. "and that the real Tornado was somewhere in the vicinity. Besides you know science advances in fits and starts." Brom is still very tense. "Even failure can be instructive, and I''d say we learned quite a lot today." Inside Mount Justice, the Team is conversing with Red Tornado. "It was clearly created to sabotage or destroy you." Kaldur tells the Leaguer. "Agreed." Red Tornado says, looking over the pieces of the android and the computer readouts. if you''re in danger¡­" M''gann objects. "I do not believe it is my role to solve your problems for you. Nor should you solve mine for me." Tornado says simply "Consider this matter closed." Red Tornado states then walks off. Guess if we''re going to have a babysitter, a heartless machine is exactly what we need." Robin says. "Dude! Harsh." Wally hisses but doesn''t object to it in any other way. "And inaccurate." both boys stop dead. "I have a heart , carbon-steel alloy. I also have excellent hearing." Kid Flash''s eyes clench closed and he frowns, just opening one eye to look at the Boy Wonder. A silent ''help ME!'' gesture that he doesn''t want Tornado to see. Robin forces out a nervous chuckle as. "Right. I''ll strive to be... more accurate." Kaldur grabs Robin''s shoulder and brings the Boy Wonder''s attention to him. "And more respectful." Red Tornado says nothing more as he walks away, but M''gann stands at the entrance of hall as the boys head to the dorm section of the Cave. "Speedy was so wrong." Wally says happily. "This Team thing¡­" "Might just work out." Kaldur agrees. M''gann smiles softly and follows them. Meanwhile in star city... A guy in a red suit with a quiver was overlooking the city only to hear the footsteps behind him so he quickly grabs his bow and pulls back his arrow to see a man "so it''s you?" Red Arrow says still holding his bow and arrow. "yep, I got some free days so I thought I would hang out" the man was none other than Steve in his Captain America suit holding up his hands. "and why "hang out" with me?" Red Arrow question right now he was probably on the shit list of the league so why was Steve ''hanging out with him''. "put it simply you have your own opinions and I respect that and also looks like you need a partner," Steve says still holding his hands up. "I don''t need another damn partner" Red Arrow in anger. "okay fine" then Steve raised his hands higher to his head which startled Red Arrow almost letting go his arrow but stopped as Steve took off his mask showing his key features the Slick black hair and blue eyes "my name is Steve Rogers and I''m here to help." 8 I thought of something not chapter please read got some important stuff Okay so I just wanted to let you guys know the base isn''t underneath Mount Justice its off-site I haven''t decided what city so that''s why I haven''t said much except he made a massive base think of Batman beyond bat cave but with a tony stark touch with it like high tech and has a gallery of suits. Now The Vault is because...why not? like if I was a hero with inventory who wouldn''t want a vault full of armoured suits and weapons plus something about have suits like hulk buster armour in the inventory doesn''t seem right you know what let''s say stuff that''s bigger than your chest can''t go into inventory. "what if they gonna get into the wrong hands?" its made out of multiple materials, not just vibranium like what if Asgardian metal Uru or Adamantium was part of the vault (which I never said he only has vibranium it''s just really strong so that''s why he uses it) so even Superman would have a hard time getting in the vault if at all actually. Magic okay a big one "will cap learn magic" well I really want him to because Captain America shows what humans are capable of being without powers...BUT let''s not rule it out because has anyone noticed Constantine hasn''t shown up in Young Justice (quick spoiler I was planning on using him if I do Young Justice: Civil war in this series) so what if cap and he cross paths?. Lastly, because I feel like if I say too much I''ll end up spoiling something but this has nothing to do with the actual story of young justice but what if I made brand new heroes? Like a hero that can teleport anywhere or a guy who can heal easily etc. I already plan on making brand new villains but heroes only just cross my mind since there was never a captain America in Dc (not commander Steel) and including he''s backstory wish he potentially made whole new villains hell even Dracula from Marvel could be in here (I mean there is but still) so like what if Dracula got introduced then captured by the league of assassins then they kidnapped Dr Langstrom so he could make a serum for Ra''s al Ghul and in an attempt to escape he uses it on himself turning into man-bat before destroying the whole compound while also destroying research like stuff like that could happen its a ripple effect kinda. Anyways tell me what you think about new heroes and new villains oh and don''t worry a villain for Captain America is coming soon 9 Captain America And Red Arrow Team up Star City July 18th My Name is Steve Rogers and I''m here to help," Steve said to Red Arrow who was still aiming his bow at him but soon stopped aiming and put away his arrow. "the names Roy but what do you mean help?" toy asked finally calming down. "Well, I know you been tracking a shipment of guns so I thought why not help a little" Steve says as he walks beside Roy to look down in the city. "I don''t need your help, I''m done with partners" Roy grumbled. "well you''ve been tracking them for a week and had no leads so I doubt you don''t need help," Steve said while looking through the goggles down at a shipping yard filled with black vans. "Fine! but I''m calling the shots, " Roy said caving in. "or no one calls the shots and work together no orders nothing we go in and destroy their weapons and leave deal?" Steve said turn towards Roy holding his hand out for a handshake. With a grin, Roy shakes his hand and says "I like this partnership already With that both them jumped off the building. In a large building in a shipping yard, men in suits were gathered armed with machine guns except for two who were talking, after a few minutes of laughing between them they were about to shake hands before they heard. *Ding* *Ding* *Ding* The elevator was going up causing them to spook, one of the armed men got his radio and said "whos coming from the elevator" only to hear radio silence so called out the group and they gathered around the elevator. Meanwhile in the Elevator... "That was easy," Roy said as he was getting another arrow out of his quiver, "I thought they at least get more guards for this deal." "I don''t think that was all of them, there''s probably more on the top floor," Steve said while loading his clip into his gun (rubber bullets). "and most likely they have military grade weapons" Roy grumbles while looking at the floor numbers on top of the door of the elevator, "You think what I''m thinking?" Steve grinned and said "Funny, I was gonna ask the same thing" before standing in front of Roy and holding his shield aiming at the door. With the same grin he stepped behind Steve covering his whole body, he pulled back his arrow in his bow aiming over Steve''s shoulder "It''s Showtime!" Roy said as the doors opened. As soon as the mobsters saw the elevator door open they started firing everything they had only to see bullets dropping to the ground while a Captain America with a shield running towards them and Red Arrow close behind with a bow firing arrows into there guns. As soon everyone''s guns where broken Captain America and Red Arrow split into different paths charging into the mobsters taking each down one at a time, one of the mob bosses saw this and pulled out a pistol and aimed it towards Red Arrow. Seeing him about to get shot, Steve yelled "Yo Red, Catch!" throwing his shield towards Red Arrow getting his attention. Thankfully Red Arrow caught the shield and used it to block the incoming bullet Roy then started using the shield against multiple mobsters before tossing it back towards Steve who was in mid-air above the mob boss who shot the gun. Mid-air Cap caught the shield and used it on the mob boss knocking him out that''s when both of them realized one of the bosses was missing. "Did you see where he went?" Steve asked looking at Roy. "How am I supposed to know it was your job to keep track," Roy said but then they heard a car rev up and take off. "This is gonna be another busy night," Steve said while facepalming himself only notice a grin on Roy''s face "why are you smiling?" Steve questioned. Without a word, Roy pulls out a device with a red button on top and presses it after a few seconds skids could be heard and a loud crash realizing why he grinned Steve held out his fist for a fist pump and Roy happily returned it. A few minutes later at a crashed car... "ow," the man said while crawling out of his crashed car landing back first on the cement ground. The man then looked up to see both Captain America and Red Arrow looking down at him grinning, Red Arrow then picked the guy up and lift him above his head putting on his most intimidating face and start questioning which made the mob boss sing like a Canary. Walking away Roy started explaining "Apparently he has a boss and you wouldn''t believe who." "Who? Is it, someone you know?" Steve asked. "No, he is new to star city and runs a lot of the gun shipment operations in Gotham" after hearing Roy say this he had a pretty good idea who was behind this operation "Penguin" Roy grumbled. "Do you need any more help? Steve questioned but Roy just soon his head. "No, I can take it from here go back to your little clubhouse," Roy said annoyed. After hearing this Steve threw a communication device towards him and said "okay, but if you want help let me know." before he got a grapple gun from his utility belt and shot it at a building, leaving the scene. Somewhere unknown July 18th... In a room filled with men in suits and scientists who were working at panels in front of a large cryo chamber, they were all focused on the chamber waiting for something until they saw a fist hit the clash making a loud *Boom* cracking it. "So he''s awake Finally I been waiting for too long for this" one of the men in suits said with a grin. After a few seconds, a frantic laugh could be heard in the chamber which freaked at some of the scientists but they carried on, minutes later the chamber door opened and out stepped a 20-year-old with a sadistic smile across his face. Looking at the men in suits he said "hello world." and on the side of the chamber it says J. Rogers. 10 The Drop At Prisca part 1 Santa Prisca July 19th... The alarms blare in a warehouse, complete with red bubbling fluid in every tank. The source of the alarm is a group of intruders is Bane and two other men. Surrounded by guards on the ground and guards on the catwalks cocking their rifles. "Oursublime Master proclaims he will depart this facility¡­ if¡­ one of you defeats his champion in single combat." A Cobra agent tells the trapped trespassers. Bane pushes aside the foot soldiers that came with him, walking to the gated door with pride. Buzzer goes off and Bane holds the door. "Just make it interesting." Then he shoves the door open and walks in. The soldier smirks as the door shuts behind Bane. Inside Bane sees that there are many more soldiers on the interlocking catwalks, all of them armed with rifles. A buzzer goes off, drawing the bodybuilder''s attention to the door on the other side of the arena. Where two people stand. Both of them blonde-brunettes with black pants and boots, and blue tank tops that cut off to expose their stomachs. Only the male walks through, but he''s thin which gets Bane''s attention, albeit with confusion. Behind Bane, a black gauntlet with red tubes on it, attached to a long clear tube fall to the floor. He picks it up, confused. "You give me back my greatest weapon?" Bane asks, confused. "You give What''s the catch." "No catch. It would hardly be a test of his champion''s prowess if you were not at your best." the soldier says. Bane attaches the gauntlet. "You want my best?" he activates the venom feed as he connects to the back of his head. His pupils dilating as he grunts the venom flowing through his body. As it finishes he''s panting and turning towards his opponent. "You got it." He cracks his neck. His opponent hasn''t moved, though the girl behind him steps up with a needle gun filled with a purple serum which she injects into his shoulder. The effect is immediate, his eyes shrink to pinpricks as his hair stands nearly on end. He stumbles forward, his head held in his hands as he falls to his knees. His shoulder grows massively, ripping his shirt. Bane watches closes. The choker around his neck rips off as he grows fangs and his body grows to match his arm''s size. His skin turn green-grey with red slashes. The girl closes the door. Panting, he gets off his knees, and charges at Bane with a roar. The downward punch is caught, Bane slides a foot or so back, but doesn''t fall. Returning the feat with a solid uppercut to his opponent''s jaw. The cross Bane throws to his chest does nothing, and he smirks down at Bane. Grabbing the back of his neck in his hand, before uppercutting him in the stomach hard enough to knock the wind out of him. Then following up with another uppercut and across to Bane''s face, before he can fully fall back Bane is grabbed by his wrist and thrown into the wall. Landing on all fours and his head on his arm. Leaving no room to react, Bane is hit again as he stands, denting the pipe behind him shut and increasing the pressure in the pipe exponentially. Steam envelopes the two as Bane is grabbed by the back of his neck again and thrown out of the steam. His opponent jumping after him nailing Bane in the face hard enough to create a Bane-sized crater under him. The power of the strike brings some people to stop, even one looks away. Bane groans, then falling unconscious. "Hail Kobra." the soldier says. "Hail Kobra," he says louder. All begin to chant. "Hail Kobra. Hail Kobra. Hail Kobra. Hail Kobra. Hail Kobra. Hail Kobra." above them Kobra stands arms crossed and pleased. Outside the facility are even more Kobra followers, guarding the entire island. The Team is in the Bioship and en-route to their first official mission. "We''re approaching Santa Prisca." Miss Martian tells them. Robin is thinking back on the debrief. "Isla Santa Prisca," Batman says, showing the Team the map of the island, all stand watching, but Kid Flash is also eating chips. "This island nation is the primary source of a dangerous and illegal neurosteroid a strength-enhancing drug sold under the street name Venom." the display changes to show the shots of the warehouse. "The infrared heat signatures indicate that their factory operating at full capacity but all shipments of Venom have inexplicably cut off. That''s where this Team comes in. This is a covert recon mission only. Observe and report. If the Justice League need to intervene, it will." Once again the profile changes back to the island map. "The plan requires two drop zones." said drop zones appear on the map. "So who''s in charge?" Robin asks getting Batman and Red Tornado to whip around and face the Boy Wonder before exchange glances. "Work that out between you," Batman commands, Robin nods a smile forming on his face. Which is still there as he refocuses. "Drop Zone A in 30." Miss Martian announces, startling the thirteen-year-old and getting him to look back at her, and Aqualad. Who stands as the straps remove themselves. Even his chair disappears as he stands up. He hits his symbol and his suit turns from navy blue and red with black accents to black, grey and black accents. "Ready," he says, looking to Miss Martian. "Putting Bioship in camouflage mode," she says as they come within eyesight of the island. Over the water a hole in the base of the Bioship forms, Aqualad dropping out and diving into the water below. Under the water, he avoids sunken mines and slices through a rope net with his water-bearer that turns into a sword. He jumps out of the water and onto the raining beach, just out of sight of the cameras. Placing a silver and red disruptor on top of it. "Heat and motion sensors are patched," he tells the team through his comm. "Data is now on a continuous loop. Move in." Above him, the Bioship''s outline is barely noticeable. "Drop Zone B." Miss Martian says as they stop over a break in the canopy. All the remaining members stand as their straps and chairs fade into the ship''s floor. Miss Martian raises a hand and lines fall from the ceiling which Robin and Kid Flash don''t hesitate to attach to. Once attached, Kid Flash raises his hand to his lightning bolt emblem. The white turning light grey as the yellow turns to a darker grey and his goggles turn almost black, his red accents remaining as he looks it over with a smile. "How cool is this?" he asks, turning towards Miss Martian. "Very impressive." Miss Martian says, before her own clothes change, her blue boots and skirt become a skin-tight full body suit, all black and accented with the same red X and edging like on Martian Manhunter. Only her cape remains blue. "Uh, that works too," he admits, stunned, then turns towards Superboy who kept the black t-shirt with the Superman S on it, black pants and boots. "Hey, Supey, not too late to put on the new stealth tech." "No capes, no tights. No offence," he says crossing his arms. Robin the Turns towards Steve who was I his own world "What about you Cap? are you trying the stealth new tech?" Robin asked. Snapping out of it Steve got up from his seat and put his mask on and said "I''ll stick to the red and white stripes." Shrugging Robin replied, "Okay, you''re lost." Miss Martian glances over at Superboy and says "It would totally work for you." Superboy looks over at her, and she stands up straighter and stops leaning her head on her hand. "In that, you can totally do good work in those clothes." she covers, badly. Superboy smiles then looks away from her, embarrassed Miss Martian brings her hood over her head and disappears from sight before dropping out of the ship. While she was dropping out of the ship Cap walked over to superboy and punched him in the arm and said "Ask her out already it''s clear she''s into you" "I don''t know what you''re talking about" Superboy replied before jumping out of the ship, ''wimp'' Cap thought before following suit and jumping out without a line. Miss Martian, Kid Flash, and Robin hit with small thuds. Realizing Superboy''s not beside them, they glance up and yelp before diving to the side. Just narrowly avoid Superboy as he hits the ground hard enough to create a boom and a two-foot-deep crater. "Knew I didn''t need a line," he says confidently. "And yet, creating a seismic event may not have helped us much with the ''covert''," Robin grumbles as he stands up from the base of the tree he threw himself into. Kid Flash comes out of the forest from the other direction and Miss Martian comes back down to the ground. "Seriously Bro you need to learn what covert means" everyone then looks towards the direction of the voice only to see Cap standing on a branch of the tree above them. "Wait...were is your line?" a surprised Kid Flash questioned seeing no line on his belt leading to the ship. "Don''t have one" Cap answered while jumping out of the tree landing next to Superboy. "Oh okay, that explains it...wait YOU JUMPED WITHOUT A LINE!!!" Kid Flash was shocked to see someone without powers to jump out of a plane and survive the fall. "what can I say I aimed for the bushes," Cap said while walking past him. "Aqualad, Drop B is a go." Miss Martian says. Aqualad climbs a cliff with ease. "Head to the factory. I''ll track your GPS and meet you ASAP." "Roger that." Robin says, looking down at his hologlove which has a map of the island, as Superboy and Miss Martian stand at their full height and look over his head on his right and Kid Flash is crouched over his left shoulder. Then all four take off to the factory. Passing through the forest, under a waterfall, before ending up back in the forest. Back in trappable terrain, Robin pulls up hiss hologlove which shows off mines that have been set around them, then the safest and straightest path to the factory. There''s rustling in the forest, but a snap of a twig catches Superboy''s full attention and stops him short. "Did you hear that?" "Uh, no¡­" Kid Flash snarks. "Wait." clearly he realized how rude that was. "Is this a super-hearing thing?" "You do have great ears." Miss Martian comments. Neither boy comments. "Okay, Rob, now what?" Kid Flash asks, but Robin is once again gone. "Man, I hate it when he does that." Superboy, Kid, switch to infrared, see if you''re being tracked." Aqualad commands through the comms. Kid Flash smirks and drops his goggles down over his eyes. Immediately picking up on heat signatures further down the trail. "Got a squad of armed bozos incoming." The three, run further forward, but only because they can duck behind a rock and fallen tree to avoid being seen. Superboy looks in the opposite direction of Kid Flash. "Two squads." he corrects. Then expands his focus. "But they''ll meet each other before they find us." 11 The Drop At Prisca part 2 Santa Prisca July 19th. "But they''ll meet each other before they find us, " superboy says looking into the forest. Gunfire commences. Clearly, they aren''t on the same side, which is good news for the Team. "No super-hearing required now." Kid comments. "Swing wide, steer clear," Aqualad commands as Kid steps forward to be next to Superboy. "Yeah-yeah, just as soon as I find Rob." Kid tells him, then vaults over the tree, running down the trail. The trail is wet, and he loses his footing, falling down the hill and right into the firefight. As he falls, he looks up to find a surprised Bane to confirm that he''s seeing things right he even lifts his goggles off his eyes. "So much for the stealthy." Bane''s surprise only lasts a moment before he starts firing rapidly at Kid Flash, but before he can run away Cap jumps in front of Kid with his shield blocking the bullets ''I should have stopped him going ahead'' Cap thought. Superboy charges ahead, taking Bane''s blind spot and tackling him to the ground. Or at least attempting to, Bane gets himself over the teen and slams him into the soft ground. He goes for a wristlock on his captive right arm but finds Superboy overpowering him. Grabbing his shirt and throwing him into a tree. Kid Flash continues to evade the bullets, and two of the men see a shadow pass over them, looking up Robin drops right on top of one of them. "What is wrong with you guys?" he questions, uppercutting the other and following up with a side kick to get his bubble back. "Remember covert? Why didn''t you follow my lead, vanish into the jungle?" Kid Flash hits another assailant, backing him up into the clearing. "That''s what you were doing?" then hitting him with a front kick to the chin then completing a full flip before landing on the ground again. "Way to fill us in. We''re mind readers you know." Miss Martian throws another two assailants into the tree behind him telekinetically. "Er, I''m not anyway." he corrects as she drops to the ground. "You told me I could only read the bad guys'' minds." she reminds him. "Kid is right you need to tell us everything before you act were a team" Cap then throws his shield making it hit multiple enemies and adds "so next time tell us the plan before you fly solo." Robin''s attention turns, hearing one run away. He pulls out a birdarang to throw at him, but instead, the Kobra soldier is stopped short by Aqualad dropping right in front of him. Not sure what to do as the Atlantean places his hand on his chest, and his tattoos glow before he zaps him right in the chest. Stepping on the communicator that fell out of his hand, which crunches under his barefoot. After tieing everyone up the team gathered to figure out who they are dealing with "I recognize those uniforms." Robin says, looking at most of the assailants that all now tied to the trees. "They belong to the Cult of The Kobra." "I am certain Batman would have mentioned it if he knew a dangerous extremist was running Santa Prisca''s Venom operation," he tells the Boy Wonder, not letting him leave his sight in fear that he will disappear again. "Agreed." Robin says, putting no fault on his mentor. "And since there''s no love lost between the cultists and those goons," he puts his hand on his chin as it all suddenly becomes clear. "I''m betting they came in and tossed them out. That''s why normal supply lines have been cut off." "We get it. Kobra wanted super cultists." Kid Flash says confidently. "Radio Bats and we''ll be home in time for-" "These cultists aren''t on venom." Robin cuts him off. Kobra''s hoarding the stuff. We don''t leave. Not until I know why." "Until you know why?" Kid Flash questions, leaning forward to get right in front of the boy''s mask covered eyes. "This team needs a leader." Robin says strongly, standing up straighter. "And it''s you?!" Kid Flash questions, annoyance clear as he steps into Robin''s personal space. "Dude, you''re a thirteen-year-old kid who ducked out on us without a word." Robin laughs for few seconds. "And you''re a mature fifteen? You blew our cover first chance you got." "Robin!" Cap yelled walking towards Robin while glaring at him in anger and annoyance "first off you left without a word already that''s not becoming of a leader second you never gave orders but expected it another reason why your not leader." Cap then glares at Kid "And you taking off instead of staying in the group I don''t condone Robin actions in fact, he should have stayed in the group but it was obvious he had it under control so why did you run after someone who was trained to keep out of sight instead of bickering who should be leading right now you need to learn how to work together." both looked at Cap embarrassed of their actions. Cap then walked away leaving them thinking what they that''s when Kid leaned over to Robin and whispered "is it me or does he remind you of Batman" after hearing this robin remembered what happened just now and a shiver went down his spine. To the side, Miss Martian and Superboy can only look on in silence. Until Miss M speaks up. "Don''t you want to lead?" The Kryptonian shakes his head and scoffs, then turns to look at Miss M out of the corner of his eye. "You?" Miss M nearly leans back and puts her hand up as if to shove the idea away from her physically "no I don''t think I''ll make a good leader." Superboy smiles, looking at her directly. "I think you''ll do alright." Miss M''s cheeks turn bright red as she looks away and tucks her hair behind her ear. However, Superboy doesn''t notice as he hears someone talk behind him. His super-hearing picks up on the Spanish with ease. "Look at them argue. Free yourselves and take them while they''re distracted." It''s one of Bane''s lackeys. "Quiet!" Bane hisses at the other man tied to the tree. "."For now, I''ll play along, and then they''ll give me what I need." Superboy smirks, understanding every word and knowing just how to play Bane at his own game. "it''s obvious they stole from Bane and they trying to get it back," Cap says while pointing at bane and his crew. "Such clever ni?os. But you only know half the story." Bane baits the team, the whole Team now steps in so they can see Bane. "Let me show you the rest get you into the factory via my secret entrance." Miss Martian steps up. "There is a secret entrance" then she kneels down and places her hand on her temple to further concentrate. "but he''s also hiding something." her tone goes sour and her eyes glow white. "Ah, ah, ah chica. Bane is not that easy." he says smugly. Miss Martian''s eyes still glow but she loses her intensity. "Ohh." she groans, pulling out of his mind. "He''s mentally reciting f¨²tbol scores en Espa?ol." she looks over her shoulder at the boys "This could take a while." Bane speaks up before anyone else does. "It''s not complicated. The enemy of my enemy is my friend." behind Miss M the boys exchange looks, then eventually nod. In the factory, they are still creating Venom. "Sublime Master, he approaches." one of the soldiers says as Kobra comes to a stop beside him. "Activate the radio-jamming net. Nothing must interfere." Kobra instructs. The soldier nods, bows, and leaves. On top of a cliff, the Team and Bane can see the factory clearly. Bane stops about three feet from the edge, pointing. Both Robin and Kid Flash both step up to get a closer look. Kid with his goggles, Robin with a pair of binoculars. What he sees is a forklift and containers by a helipad. Look at all that product." Robin mutters, shocked. "A buy is going down." Bane walks away, but the Team remains. "But if Kobra''s not selling to the usual suspects, then-" "We need to identify that buyer." Aqualad states with conviction. "Just what I was thinking." Kid Flash agrees, lifting his goggles as he stands up straighter. "Yeah. You''re the thinker." Robin says with a smirk as he stands up. "Sarcasm?" Kid Flash questions, annoyed. "Dude. A real leader would focus on getting answers." all three are observing Bane as he lifts a giant rock away from the entrance to an old mine. The only point of his efforts are a few grunts. While Miss M and Superboy exchange a slight look of confusion. Answers are this way." Bane says simply, gesturing down the mine tunnel. All five teens join him to look down the tunnel. Bane says nothing as he heads towards the tunnel. "So. Now el Luchador is our leader." Kid Flash comments angrily and slightly sarcastic. Robin stalks past him, using the back of his hand to smack Kid Flash''s cheek. Kid turns to Cap, Superboy, M''gann, and Aqualad with a shrug. The Team and Bane walk down the mine until they come to a metal door, which Bane uses his fingerprint to unlock. Which leads them right to a door on the factory floor. Bane props the door open slightly, giving Robin just enough room to get a full look around the- now confirmed to be- empty floor. "All clear." he vocalizes before running out of the doorway. The others follow but, once they get to another hidden location Robin and Cap are nowhere in sight. "Has those fools already been captured?" Bane questions, annoyance at the possibility of their infiltration being compromised rising. "No," Aqualad assures, but his own voice is giving away his own annoyance "they just do that sometimes" "don''t worry Cap told me he''s following Robin to the control room," Miss Martian says reassuring the rest of the team. "When did he tell you that?" Superboy asked confused. "Well Cap and I have a telepathic link open at all times so when we needed to talk," Miss Martian said confusing Superboy more. (or was it a bit of jealousy) Kid Flash slides his goggles over his eyes with ease. "Stay put. I''ll get our intel and be back before the Cap and Boy Wonder." by the time he finishes the sentence he''s already running. Aqualad reaches out as he sees Kid Flash''s movement, but doesn''t get hold. "Wait, Kid!" Bane watches as the grey and red streak disappears, looking to Aqualad with a smug smile. "Great chain of command." he continues his jabs at Aqualad with the sarcasm and the continued smugness in those four simple words. The three remaining teens share a look. While over their heads Robin runs across the catwalk and up the stairs to the command centre. Inside the command center, a Kobra agent is working on the computers. There''s a small swish before a Batarang hits the computer console beside him, causing it to spark. As he turns to look a green gas is released from the Batarang. The agent coughs then passes out. "Nice throw Robin holds no qualms as he grabs the back of his cloak and drops his upper body to the ground with a thud. Then taking the chair and sitting down at the computer. Aqualad, Miss Martian, and Superboy are all crouched behind an unused assembly line, while Bane hides in the shadows of a crate stack. "It''s a massive shipment." Aqualad observes with shock. "Yeah, but they''re only taking new product off the line." Superboy observes."They''re not touching this Venom." As a forklift drives away they turn towards each other. "Maybe freshness counts?" Miss Martian offers, unsure, but figuring a one off guess is better than nothing. Superboy''s focus changes as he looks in the opposite direction they just were. "Helicopter''s coming." he says, out of instinct the other two follow his gaze. Bane''s eyes narrow as all four look out the small skylight. It takes a few moments, but then they start to be able to hear the helicopter''s blades as it approaches. The computer Robin''s on is beeping away as he runs over the chemical formula for the agent. Listing off HB2 Ca4, Cs2 Ho4, PH4 Mo8, and Ca1, ''so this is the formula'' Cap thought. Kid Flash zooms in, skidding to a stop and taking a bite out of something, then proceeding to talk with food in his mouth. "What you got?" "Chemical formulas." Robin says, hunching a little closer to the keyboard as if that would help him work faster. Ever the science nerd Kid Flash joins him at the computer. "I guessing it involves Venom, but¡­" he trails unsure, but also not even pausing as Kid Flash takes another loud bite out of the bar in his hand. This one''s Venom," Kid Flash says, as if he''s talking to a three-year-old, and using his bar to point at the screen. As the screen shows another compound he continues. "this one''s-" he cuts himself off. "Whoa. The Blockbuster formula from Cadmus." they watch as the two begin to merge on screen. "Mixed correctly, Kobra''s new juice is three times stronger than Venom¡­ and permanent." he realizes horrified. Then turns to Robin."But how did Kobra get access to Project Blockbuster?" "Our mystery buyer must also be Kobra''s supplier!" Robin realizes. "Using the cult to create the Blockbuster-Venom superformula." Robin stands up his hand going to his ear. "Robin to Aqualad we got-" Kid Flash turns away from the computer as he hears Robin stop. "... static." he mutters angrily. From out of the helicopter''s opening doors the shadows clear, revealing a buff white man with blonde hair. In a black on black outfit and his facial features covered by a grey hockey mask. As he walks between two lines of the cult his matching forearm and shoulder/upper arm guards show. "Lord Kobra." he greets. "Sportsmaster." Kobra returns, as the girl from before steps up. "The shipment is ready." she opens the box to reveal the blue vials. Sportsmaster takes one, holding it up to look at it. "The new Kobra-Venom?" he questions. Kobra gestures to Blockbuster. "A complete success. Our friends will not be disappointed." "This is a game-changer." Sportsmaster proudly states, flipping the vial to catch it in his fist. "Finally, we can go mano-a-mano with the Justice League." Above them, Miss Martian uses her camouflage. "Aqualad, sending you a telepathic image of the buyer now." even though she basically invisible her eyes begin to glow. In the factory, on a catwalk. Bane and Superboy keep watch while Aqualad has his eyes closed to see Miss M''s telepathic image. "Sportsmaster." he says, opening his eyes. "He is the buyer?" he questions, looking to Superboy shocked. Then brings his hand up to his ear. "Aqualad to Red Tornado. Do you read?" he gets the same results as Robin. He huffs in annoyance. "Can''t reach the League, neither Cap, Robin, or Kid. Comm''s jammed. We need a plan now." Bane is all too pleased with his opening. "I have a suggestion." then jumps over the rail with a battle cry. Two Kobra agents look to the source, shocked to see Bane. He lands just before them, shoving one to the side with ease and pushing the other''s arm to ensure his aim is only to the ceiling. From outside they hear the gunshots. "What is he-" Aqualad begins, only to be cut off by Blockbuster''s battle cry and he charges at the window behind them. Shattering it and taking down the catwalk. Both boys land away from the rubble, but so does Blockbuster. Who roars to catch everyone''s full attention. "Destroy them." Kobra commands. In an instant Blockbuster charges at the three infiltrators. Superboy meets him halfway, in comparison to Blockbuster, he''s plenty small enough to get under his arms and catch his torso. However, due to the size difference Blockbuster grabs Superboy''s waist from behind with efficiency. Aqualad''s tattoos begin to glow as he reaches behind his shoulders to take out his water-bearers. The Kobra agents start firing on him, but can''t land a hit as he crouches behind a shield and uses his other water-bearer to fire non-lethal projectiles at their chests and knock them out. Meanwhile, Bane hides, away from the action, chuckling to himself. Miss Martian flies in and starts throwing agents around, but Sportsmaster can clearly see her despite the camouflage. Aqualad tattoos begin to glow as he reaches behind his shoulders to take out his water-bearers. The Kobra agents start firing on him, but can''t land a hit as he crouches behind a shield and uses his other water-bearer to fire non-lethal projectiles at their chests and knock them out. 12 The Drop at Prisca part 3 Aqualad continues to shoot projectiles while Superboy gets launched into a large container by Blockbuster behind him. Getting a massive uppercut that pins him back to the container, he punches Blockbuster in the face from his pinned position. Knocking his assailant back and giving him plenty of room to land back on his feet. Then charge at Blockbuster once more. Sportsmaster eyes continue to narrow as he brings out a rod. Which then extends to form a sharp point that he throws at Miss M. She just barely manages to dodge, but it blows up right beside her. Knocking her away and hitting her hard enough to turn off her camouflage. Superboy and Blockbuster continue to exchange punches as Robin and Captain America run along the catwalk over their head. Kid Flash runs behind them and comes to a stop to watch over the chaos. Kid Flash runs off, while Robin and Cap remain and Robin gains a mischievous look before he runs back the way he came while Cap just down and joins the fight. Aqualad is now standing upright but is being backed up despite his shield and projectiles. Ducking behind some piping he can put down his water-bearers, but then finds two more Kobra agents on his other side. Before they can fire Kid Flash runs in and slams his feet into both their chests to knock them out and back. Only for three more to arrive on the catwalk over where the two now lay unconscious. But before they can shoot Cap throws his shield hitting them before he catches it. "seriously Cap your shield doesn''t abide by physics at all" Kid Flash says before running back into the fight. "Miss Martian, radio is jammed," Cap tells her since at this point she''s the only one that doesn''t know"Link us up!" when Cap gave this order this Aqualad was confused he was just about to say the exact same thing so how did Cap know? But soon shakes his head dismissing any ideas and just concludes it was just a coincidence. Behind the men shooting Aqualad she''s slowly coming to. Her eyes widen as she processes what she heard, bringing her hand to her head. "Everyone online?" she asks. Superboy growls through the punch that hits him in the face. "Yeah," he replies, though he still doesn''t like someone in his head but since it was Miss Martian he didn''t mind all that much. "Same here" Cap said while taking out multiple Kobra agents without a sweat. "You know it, beautiful." Kid Flash says with a smile, despite the fact that he''s getting shot at, still. Aqualad ignores that. "Good. We need to regroup." "Busy now." Robin''s voice cuts in. The Boy Wonder lands at the Helicopter pad, Kobra stepping up right behind him, the girl by his side. Robin stands and turns instantly picking up on the movement. "Batman must be desperate if he sends whelp to task me." Robin ignores the insult as he decides to banter with the villain instead. "What''s wrong, Koby? You look disconcerted." "This is beneath me. Shimmer, take him." Kobra commands. Shimmer runs at the Boy Wonder, whose only response is a smirk. Flipping over her as she gets close enough, then lands behind her. He stands back into a fighting stance. "Robin, now." Aqualad''s voice commands. The youngest grits his teeth, just barely losing concentration in time for Shimmer to come in with a punch ready. However, Robin drops a flash grenade, giving him time to get away and leave the two alone. Aqualad uses his water-bears to create long whips and take out many of the still shooting Kobra agents. "Strategic retreat. Kid, clear a path." Kid Flash takes out seven Kobra agents, Aqualad running behind him and Robin grappling above and behind the Atlantean''s head. Miss Martian flies in behind the Boy Wonder. As he drops from his line she returns to the ground, as Superboy continues to hold off Blockbuster. Finally getting a proper hold he throws Blockbuster into amassing Kobra agents to give him time to get away as well. He makes it through the door then slams it shut. He and Aqualad are the only ones who have to take off and run, which they don''t wait on as Blockbuster knocks the door in. Catching up the rest of the Team Aqualad shouts a command. "Superboy, the support beams." He punches out three in succession but wasn''t expecting the cave in to be so rapid. Thankfully Miss Martian grabs the back of his shirt and pulls him away from the debris. Forcing the Kobra agents to the same on the other side of the cave in. Blockbuster takes one look and walks away. Aqualad snaps a glow stick create a light source. Robin stands with his back to Aqualad, looking to the cave in, while Kid Flash leans heavily on the wall, Superboy calmly stands beside and Miss Martian is on the other side. "How can my first mission as leader go so wrong?" Robin questions. ''seriously he still thinks he''s the leader even after what I told him earlier?'' Cap thought while he started to sit on the ground. Aqualad sets down the two pieces of the glow stick, before looking to the youngest member. "You do have the most experience. But perhaps that is exactly what has left you unprepared." Kid Flash stands and the whole group has their focus solely on the Boy Wonder''s body language. "Fighting alongside Batman, your roles are clearly defined. You two do not need to talk. But this team is new. And a leader needs to be clear, explicit. He cannot vanish and expect others to play part in an unknown plan." Robin turns and physically swipes the idea away. "Oh, so I''m supposed to hold everyone''s hands?" then looks down with a pained groan. "Ah, who am I kidding?" he questions, entirely to himself and with a note of pain in his words. "You or Cap should lead us." which catches the attention of Cap who was off in his own world again "only you guys can lead this team" Please!" Kid Flash shouts. "I can run circles-" "Wally, come on." Robin cuts him off, even using his secret ID in the field. "You know they are the ones who can, we all do." "Hello, Megan!" Miss M says, placing her hands on her hips. "It''s so obvious." "Coulda told ya." Superboy concurs, leaning against a support beam slightly behind Aqualad with his arms cross and actually smiling. He turns his attention towards Kid Flash with a frown. Wally brings his hands off his hips and over his shoulders as he shrugs, then brings his hands back to his hips and smiles. "Okay, but who''s gonna be the leader out of the two?." "Yea I''m out, Kaldur should be the team leader" When Cap said this it surprised everyone including Robin "I feel like I''m not quite ready to lead just yet, so, for now, Kaldur should be the leader" luckily Kaldur understood. "Then I accept the burden," he says as he walks towards Robin pausing as he places his hand on the smaller boy''s shoulder. "until you or Cap are ready to lift it from my shoulders. You two were born to lead this team. Maybe not now, but soon." Robin is smiling the whole way through the speech and confirms the terms with a small nod. He turns away and looks to all of the Team. "Alright, our first priority is preventing that shipment from leaving the island." they all gather around. Robin laughs, crosses his arms, and takes on a Wally-like smirk. "Funny. I had the same thought." On the helipad, Sportsmaster is in the chopper while Shimmer and Kobra remain outside listening to it creak and stutter, but not start. "Sabotage." Sportsmaster states, considering it was running fine when he left. "Robin?" "Undoubtedly." Kobra agrees, his annoyance showing before he turns to Shimmer. "Find the problem. Fix it." she bows and walks off as Sportsmaster steps beside Kobra and one of his agents and Blockbuster join the two. "Master, shall we send search parties after the intruders?" he asks. "Don''t be absurd, they''ll come to us." Kobra snarls, walking away. "Sportsmaster the supplier/buyer." Robin says as all five run down the mine tunnel. "But it still doesn''t track. He doesn''t have the juice to acquire the Blockbuster formula or to get Kobra to do his dirty work." Despite having superspeed Kid Flash remains beside Robin, though both are in the lead, with Aqualad and Superboy behind them, and Miss Martian the furthest back and in the air. "And neither of them have the chops to bond Blockbuster with Venom." Kid Flash agrees. "That took some major nerdage." "I believe the expression is £¢tip of the iceberg£¢." Aqualad states, coming to a stop as they see Bane standing in front of their exit. Something long and metal dropping from his grip. Joining at least half a dozen more just like it on the ground. "Halt, ni?os." Bane commands, something bright green sticking out of his left hand. "I''m feeling explosive." Behind them are explosives on the second to last support beam, judging by the cave in they experienced they wouldn''t make it out in time. "You betrayed us. Why?" Aqualad asks, sounding honestly confused. "I want my factory back." Bane states simply. "Kid, you''ll need a running start." Aqualad says through the mind link, the ginger does as he''s told and slowly starts taking steps backward. "So I forced you into a situation where you would either take down my enemies or die trying." he smirks proudly before continuing. "If the latter, the Justice League would certainly come to avenge their sidekicks. And when the smoke cleared Santa Prisca would be mine once more." he holds out the trigger. "Blowing the tunnel with you inside should have the same effect." he didn''t notice the blur and went to hit the button on to find it missing. "With what?" Kid Flash''s voice asks from behind the supervillain. Leaning smugly against a nearby tree as Bane turns to him. "This trigger thingy?" he continues to question, showing Bane the still intact trigger in his hand. Bane went to go punch the ginger but was pulled back and away by an unseen force. Or rather M''gann''s telekinesis. Now being held a good ten feet off the ground the others join her where Bane can see them. Superboy drops into a fighting stance. "Finally." sounding both pleased, amused and some frightening degree of desperate. M''gann looks to him and fully settles into his stance. "Drop him." She looks up innocently as she drops her hand, the force holding Bane diminishes and he falls right into the hard uppercut from Superboy. The helicopter is now up and running again and they''re loading product once more. "The helicopter is operational, exalted one." an agent states the rather obvious. Sportsmaster walks back down towards the chopper with the silver box from before. Only to be stopped as Kid Flash runs in and takes out the two furthest agents in the rows on both his sides, then over to one of the agents now shooting at him. Kicking him in the chest and knocking him away from the gun. "Take the shipment!" Kobra commands. Two more agents come up behind him, and as Sportmaster goes to leave Superboy drops in, cracking the concrete mere feet away from the helicopter. "Go again?" he asks Blockbuster. The monster roars, Kid Flash takes out one other Kobra agent between the two super strong forces, just as he gets within striking distance a stream of water takes out the monster. "Sorry. Not the plan." then looks over to ensure that Aqualad isn''t being ambushed as he holds the water stream. Sportsmaster gets behind Superboy, using the cover of the helicopter and hits him with a bright red blast from his gun on the teen''s back. He gets two more shots, then starts rapidly firing as he manages to force the clone backward. In his distraction, Miss Martian goes unseen. Until she tries to swoop in and help, only for Sportsmaster to hit her hard, disabling her camouflage and get her in a choke hold. All while still shooting at Superboy. Kid Flash takes out one of the few remaining cultists'' guns, swiping his mask in the process. "Souvenir." then continues to run as the agent falls unconscious. Shimmer and Kobra taking a step back. In a second a bola wraps around her body and knocks her to the ground. Looking to the source Kobra glares at Robin. "I know you hate getting your hands dirty." the Boy Wonder snarks as if he did the cult leader a favor. "True," though he reaches up and takes off his cloak. Revealing his shaved head and matching pale the body. "but sometimes even a God must stoop to conquer." Robin smirks but before he can Charge he''s stopped by someone grabbing his shoulder when turned around he saw Cap. "Robin could you let me handle this while you help to team with sportsmaster, " Cap said causing Robin to frown but instead of arguing he went to help the team. And unfazed Kobra stands there as if he was looking at bug but soon was surprised as Cap ran towards him with his shield knocking him away "How dare you to hit the God who will lead the world into the next." "you sound like my brother both of you are lunatics." Both Cap and Kobra were countering each other moves but Kobra couldn''t land a good hit because every time he tried Cap would just block with his shield but before Kobra tried to attempt another hit Cap kicked his chest sending him flying. A furious Kobra got back up and cracked his neck while smirking and saying "You are nothing without your shield" he said trying to bait Cap into fight hand to hand combat. Knowing Kobra was baiting Cap smirked and happily obliged as he puts the shield behind his back and said "let see about that" both charged at each other at full attack mode but this time was different everything Kobra did Cap would do the same countering all of his punches and kicks it was like Kobra was fighting his mirrored self. The more the minutes went on Kobra could see everything had failed the helicopter that was carrying his supply has blown up and seeing blockbuster was down he needed to retreat which caused him to lose focus when he threw a punch which Cap grabbed and having caught his arm Cap broke it making Kobra yell in pain before Cap delivered a moth kick towards his chest sending flying in front of the forest. "I am plagued by mosquitoes!" Kobra proclaims. "You''re just mad because you got your butt kicked," A grinning Robin said as the team assembles around him. The six stand ready to fight, still holding his broken arm Kobra glances to the side, then steps back calmly. "Another time then." then he disappears into the shadows. Robin attempts to follow but is shocked to find only shrubbery and darkness. He walks back to find the other four still waiting, though Miss Martian comes back to the ground. "We picked the right guy to lead." Robin tells Aqualad sincerely. "Automatically making you the right guy to explain this mess to Batman!" then walks away laughing. Aqualad can only look down in thought. Mount justice July 24th...(they say August 4th which confused me since the next ep said August 3rd when superboy goes to see Superman so I changed it) "A simple recon mission." Batman gets within inches of Aqualad''s face as he berates him. "Observe and report!" then backs off. "You''ll each receive written evaluations detailing your many mistakes." Batman walks past all Six, who stand at full attention. Coming to a pause beside Captain America, who is the last one in their line. "Until then - good job." all of their heads snap up in shock except Cap, look to Batman out of the corner of their eyes. "No battle plan survives first contact with the enemy." all of them relax and stand slightly more comfortably. "How you adjust to the unforeseen is what determines success." they all watch him as he continues and starts walking away. "And how you choose who leads determines character." Robin smiles, and Aqualad looks down at the smaller boy and does as well. Somewhere unknown July 24th... "All I managed to recover is a single vial of Kobra-Venom." Sportsmaster holds it up to prove his point. "Peut-¨ºtre¡­ the formula can be reverse-engineered." a projected voice says, with a slight accent. " Mias what of these heroes?" the voice comes from a screen which looks to contain only a container. "First Cadmus, then Mister Twister. Now, Santa Prisca." "Once is happenstance ." another agrees, his voice dark, and turning darker as he continues. "twice is coincidence. But three times is enemy action, and enemies of the Light must not stand including when he has just woken up," 13 Got Schooled Part 1 Metropolis August 3rd...(see what I mean) A school bus is travelling on a bridge, filled with children on their way to school. When the concrete begins to crumble and two of the support cables fall into their path. Knowing he can''t drive over them the driver slams on the break. Turning the bus so it hits the divider and comes to a full stop. A moving truck behind them couldn''t stop fast enough, and as they jerk away from the bus they don''t fully collide but do nick the back of it to nudge them through the divider and closer to the edge. While they and a small car crash into the opposing divider. A red car continues to speed, unaware until they crash into the back corner of the bus. Knocking it through the wall on the outside of the bridge and completely destroying their engine compartment. The bus teeters dangerously on their middle, threatening to fall into the river below. From a high room in a Wayne Tech building, Bruce Wayne can see the situation. Moving to his desk he tips back the head on an Alfred-bust. Revealing a red button. Which he presses to reveal a hidden drawer with his Batman costume. Though he doesn''t grab it as he hears a sonic boom go off. Turning he finds Superman flying towards the bridge. He flies past the bus and instead goes under the bridge to support the crumbling portion. Then using his heat vision to mend the cracked horizontal supports. Superboy jumps from tower to tower of the bridge with ease, getting himself closer to the accident. Then landing on the deck without even denting the concrete. Though below him Superman feels the sudden strain on the area he''s keeping up. Superboy, seemingly unaware, runs to get the white car away from the edge where they too crashed the through the wall. Picking up the car on its back bumper with ease and turning it a full 180¡ã to place it back in the lanes. All of which Bruce is observing from his Tower with high power binoculars. The bus tips further over the edge, causing the kids inside to scream in fear, but he grabs the rear bumper of the bus, his combat boots trying to find purchase and he holds the bus so it won''t fall over the edge. Surprisingly Superboy slowly lifts the bus and places it safely next to him. Superman who finished restabilizing the bridge then flies up 10 feet in the air before land in front of Superboy "your landing could''ve destabilized the entire bridge," Superman states emotionlessly. "It didn''t." Superboy counters. "But it could have." Superman persists. "We don''t yet know the limits of your powers." Superboy pauses before he continues in a far more hesitant tone. "Well, maybe you could, you know, help me figure that out." Superman looks away before finally replying. "Batman''s got that covered." "I know, but-" Superboy tries, just as Superman''s communicator beeps. "Superman," he responds instantly, cutting Superboy off. "Wait, Arrow. Slow down," he tells who is now noted as Green Arrow to be on the other end the call as he walks away from Superboy. "What''s attacking?" he asks, then listens to GA''s reply. "No, I''m definitely available. Coordinates?" he says, not even glancing at Superboy. "Acknowledged; on my way." only then does he turn back to Superboy. "Sorry, Super... boy." his hesitance only cementing the way Superboy thinks he feels about him. "Duty calls." then takes off without another word. Superboy clenches his fists, looking away for a moment before glaring at the fading speck that is Superman. While flying Superman''s communicator beeps twice more, he reaches up and opens the line." Already got the alert, Bruce." Inside the Wayne Tech building, Bruce is on his phone, watching Superman fly away. "I know, Clark, but we need to talk." Superman doesn''t say anything as he disconnects his communicator and continues flying. Mount Justice August 3rd... Kid Flash and Aqualad are playing virtual air hockey, Kid Flash gets one right past Kaldur, and into his goal. Kaldur looks stunned for a moment, then glares competitively at Kid Flash who is eating a banana. Recognize: Superboy; B-0-4 Glaring as he appears in the Zeta Tube he stalks across the room. "Hi, Superboy." M''gann tries, as Superboy walks right through their game board. Causing Robin to step out, looking at Superboy in a cross between curiosity and slight glare. "How was Metropolis?" M''gann continues. "I should have stayed here" as Superboy walks past them all. Black Canary clears her throat behind Kid Flash, catching their attention as she and Martian Manhunter step out of the shadows. "Ready for training everyone?" she questions. M''gann is the first to react, as peppy as ever. "Black Canary! Uncle J''onn!" she goes up and hugs her uncle. Though he doesn''t reach out and embrace her back, he does duck his chin to meet the top of her head before she steps back. "M''gann, I was in the neighbourhood so I thought I''d see how you were adjusting," J''onn says, placing a hand on his niece''s shoulder. "A few bumps, but I''m learning," she assures, as Superboy watches from the hallway entrance. Going to walk away, but Canary sees him as J''onn replies "that''s all I can ask." "Stick around," Canary calls out, getting Superboy to stop in his tracks. "Class is in session." he turns back but crosses his arm over his A. Recognize: Captain America; B-0-6 Steve walks out of the Zeta Tube catching the attention of Canary, J''onn and the Team ''looks like it started already'' he thought as he joined in the group. "where were you?" Robin questions Steve as he stands next to him. Without looking at him Steve answers "I was working on something." hearing this Canary raises her eyebrow thinking what he said is suspicious. Canary then walks to the centre of the ring, turning the tiles pure white with a blue barrier. "I consider it an honour to be your teacher." she prefaces, turning towards the larger grouping of teens as she pulls on her jacket slightly. "I''ll throw a lot at you everything I''ve learned from my own mentors." she continues as she pulls off her jacket, getting it just beyond the tear that was showing off a wrapping around her arm. She grunts through the pain but finishes taking it off. "And my own bruises," she confesses, holding the wrapping. "What happened?" M''gann asks, worriedly. "The job," Canary replies simply, throwing her own jacket away. " Now, combat is about controlling conflict. Putting the battle on your terms. You should always be acting, never reacting." she tells them, before lightening her tone slightly. "I''ll need a sparring partner." "Right here. Yeah!" Kid Flash calls out raising his hand, as he still has food in his mouth. Stepping up, Aqualad frowns and Robin has a sly smirk. He meets her in the middle, finishing the banana in one bite and swallowing before he continues. "After this¡­" he starts, aiming his banana peel for the garbage. "Swish¡­" commentating as it makes it in. "I''ll show you my moves." Black Canary smiles knowingly as her eyes narrow. She throws a quick jab, which he blocks, but finds his feet being taken out from under him. Before even he can react. He hits with a thud that causes M''gann to look on worriedly, Aqualad to lean back, and Robin to frown with confusion. On the floor, it reads in big letters. Kid Flash > Status: Fail Oh. Hurts so good." he manages to still be his joke making self, even when he''s in pain. "Good block," Canary admits. "But did anyone see what he did wrong?" she asks as she helps him back to his feet. Robin is all too excited to answer this one. "Ooh, ooh. He hit on teacher and got served?" Kid Flash holds the shoulder that hit first, which just happens to be the one he blocked with as he looks back, annoyed and horrified that Robin said that. "Dude!" "He allowed her to dictate the terms of battle by underestimating because he had powers and need up getting served," Cap says causing black Canary to smile. "Oh please." Canary arches an eyebrow as turns her head to look over her shoulder at annoyed Superboy. "With my powers, the battle''s always on my terms." he jabs his thumb inadvertently at the S, but clearly means himself not because of the S, but because of how he sees himself. "I''m a living weapon" clenching his hands to prove his point and make it very clear how he sees himself. " and this is a waste of my time." Canary now has her injured shoulder facing him as she smiles, a craving for the fight ahead in her eyes. "Prove it." Superboy''s eyebrows raise, not expecting that answer before he schools his features and walks into the ring. As he stands before Canary he crosses his arms and Kid Flash quickly walks back towards the other members of the Team. Both drop into a fighting stance at the same time. Superboy comes in with a cross, that Canary takes a singular step back from. Giving her plenty of time to reach out with both hands, grab his forearm and throw him across the ring. Where he lands on his butt, then to his back. Robin points and laughs until Aqualad elbows him in the side. He doesn''t stop laughing but covers his mouth with his gloves. Superboy remains on the ground for a moment the words Superboy > Status: > Fail showing, before he pushes himself back to his knees with a growl. Though that doesn''t sway Canary. "You''re angry." she merely states, standing calm. "Good, but don''t react. Channel that anger-" Superboy gets to his feet and charges at her with another punch she jumps up and uses his shoulders to flip over him. Landing closely behind him, but still able to see him out of the corner of her eye. As he turns to hit her with a back fist she drops taking his feet out from under him. Once again the floor read Superboy > Status: > Fail From the sidelines, M''gann flinches back, Robin muffles his own laughs, Aqualad looks worried and Kid Flash frowns. By the time he''s ready to stand again, Canary already is, offering her hand. "That''s it." Superboy growls, standing without her help. "I''m done." "Training is mandatory." Canary says as he starts to walk away, placing a hand on his shoulder, which he turns towards her as he shakes it off. His rage flowing under his eyes. "Connor! calm down" Superboy then glares at Steve before finally calming down a little. the whole room beeps. Opening a holoscreen. "Batman to the Cave." the Dark Knight calls, all rush to join Superboy and Canary. As they do, Batman continues. "A new menace attack Green Arrow and Black Canary. The attacker was capable of studying, the duplicating the powers and abilities of its opponents." On a smaller screen the image of the attacker become a video feed, where Superman goes for a massive punch, only for it to get caught and the attacker to then use the Kryptonian to take out Red Tornado, and Flash, before throwing the alien. Then turning to use its newly acquired laser eyes to take out two Batarangs. "Arrow called in reinforcements," Batman continues as the video pauses. "which nearly proved disastrous as our foe gained more and more power with each new combatant." "Whoa." Kid Flash is the first one to vocalize, though Kaldur looks worried and Superboy clenches his jaw. "One guy with the powers of the entire League?" it seems unbelievable, which even Robin reacts to, looking just as worried at Kaldur, his mouth even dropping open slightly, While M''gann looks on nervously but Cap is was completely calm as if he saw it all before. "In the end, it took eight Leaguers four hours to defeat and dismantle the android." Batman informs, which catches Robin''s attention. "An android?" he questions. "Who built it, T.O. Morrow?" he continues to ask stepping up since this is where he thrives. "Good guess, Robin." Batman states, causing Superboy to look down as he sees, even more, working father/son relationships within the League and Team. "But Red Tornado doesn''t think so." "The technology bears the signature of Professor Ivo." Martian Manhunter tells them. "Ivo?'' Aqualad questions, shocked. "But Ivo''s dead." Canary looks over her shoulder. "So we all thought or hoped." clearly it is later "To make certain this threat is permanently neutralized" another small screen pops up on the opposite side of the where the footage from the fight was."we''re sending two trucks carrying the Android''s parts to two separate STAR Labs facilities" a point between the four noted cities- which are Springfield, Gotham, Boston and NYC- becomes a red triangle. "in Boston and New York" the two paths going in completely separate directions, but beginning at the triangle''s base which is now a glowing red dot. "for immediate evaluation. Every precaution is being taken." their attention comes back to Batman on the main screen. "We''ll have four additional trucks to create confusion in case Ivo or anyone tries to recover the remains." This is where they come in. "You will split into undercover teams to safeguard the two real trucks." Yes!" Kid Flash says excitedly. "Road trip." Canary turns to Kid with an angered look while Aqualad and M''gann look to him rather confused. Robin joins and glares behind his mask. "So now we take out your trash?" Superboy questions angrily. "You had something better to do?" Batman counters, Superboy looks away just Aqualad''s transmitter goes off. "Coordinates received. On our way." Aqualad confirms, everyone but Superboy and Cap run off. As walks away Canary grabs his arm. "When you''re ready, I''ll be here." she tells him honestly. He doesn''t respond, merely looking away before continuing to walk off. Cap walks over too Canary and says "sorry about my brother he''s just been on edge lately" Cap says sincerely before walking off leaving Canary in the centre of the room. 14 Got Schooled Part 2 Litchfield County August 3rd... In a field off the main highway, six trucks are sitting ready, while the part of the dismantled Android is being loaded. Overseeing this is Red Tornado, Atom, Green Arrow, Flash, and Superman. Turning away and using his enhanced vision he can see the Team waiting on their motorcycles, Aqualad and M''gann on blue, Kid Flash on yellow and Superboy and Robin on red while Cap was on his own motorcycle. Superman zeroes in on Superboy, who returns his gaze. He turns away, Superboy looks down before sliding on his helmet as the engines from the truck rev. Their rev their cycles and come to the edge of the clearing and they put on their helmets. "STAR Boston is a go." is put over the comms as three trucks close their back-gates. "STAR Manhattan is go." Green Arrow nods, then looks to Batman who gives the signal. The trucks pull out in two opposite directions. Robin and Superboy following the ones going right, while Kid Flash, Aqualad, and M''gann follow the three going left. Atom, Red Tornado and Flash all take off. As Superman goes to a black glove is placed on his shoulder. "I told you, we need to talk."Batman states, Superman stands straight and looks just over his shoulder at the Dark Knight. As two of the trucks make a right-hand exit, and one continues straight Superboy and Robin only follows the one remaining truck still on the highway. Robin zooms to be on in front of Superboy and on his right. "If dislike is the opposite of like, is disaster the opposite of aster? See, if things are going wrong, they go right." Superboy remains silent, ignoring Robin''s attempt at positivity and conversation. "Uh, clearly you''re not feeling the aster. What''s wrong?" "Canary." Superboy replies instantly. "And what business does she have teaching combat skills to a guy with super-strength? Even my own brother is taking her side" he grumbles, mostly to himself, considering the fact that he looks away from the Boy Wonder. "Taking down stronger guys is part of the gig." Robin states simply. "Canary learned that the hard way. Same with Batman and, well, me." he''s hesitant to include himself in the list, fearing what that could cause Superboy to do. Though instead of snapping back or anything he revs his cycle and gets a lot closer to the back of the truck and a good five or six car lengths in front of Robin. Meanwhile with Miss Martian, Kid Flash and Aqualad "Do you think Superboy''s okay?" she asks, driving on the left of Aqualad. Then quickly realizes how that may sound. "I-I wasn''t reading his mind, I swear but anger flowed off him in waves." Kid Flash pulls onto her left, a sarcastic chuckle coming through. "Surfed that wave. Just give him space." that''s actually sound advice, considering the fuse on that guy seems to be a record low, on a good day. "Me?" he continues, getting practically right next to her. "Stick as close as you want." her facial features relax and even draw up in slight pity as she realizes that he''s flirting with her again. Superboy just needs time to cool off." Aqualad states, turning the focus away from Kid Flash''s bad flirting. "A quiet mission will clear his head." a cornfield they whiz past shakes, then green/grey/black robot things fly out and after them. Completely passing them, latching right onto the truck. Pressing the outside of his helmet, Aqualad opens up a comm channel. "Robin, Superboy, our truck is under attack!" "Kind of figured." Robin replies, looking to the monkey-robots latched onto their truck too. "I hate monkeys." Superboy says angrily, his eyes zeroing. The monkeys are not only attacking the portion of the truck with the robot, but also the driver''s cabin. The truck swerves a little but remains to fair a straight enough drive. "Robot monkeys." Robin says, his excitement showing before he laughs and gets serious. "Totally Ivo''s tweaked style." then hitting the small screen on his cycle to show his R. As it does, the motorcycle''s back wheel disengages, turning into a flying drone. Seeing that Superboy is leaning even further forward on his bike, Robin realizes what he plans to do. "Hey, hey. Switch your ride to Battle Mode." "No point." Superboy says, before jumping off his and onto the truck. Robin''s eyes widen as his bike loses balance without a rider. "Or not." then stands on his handle bars and uses his grapple to make the distance between the two just as the two bikes collide. Once he''s securely on the back gate of the truck he kicks off one of the monkeys. Seeing this Cap couldn''t help but shake his head before taking his shield of the front of his bike before jumping onto the truck with them. On the roof of the car, Superboy takes off his helmet and uses it to destroy two monkeys in rapid succession as they try to jump him. A monkey before him jumps, only to get its arms ripped off, but three monkeys jump on his turned back seeing this Cap grabbed a small circular device out of his utility Belt before throwing it hitting one of the robotic monkeys making a chain reaction of electricity amongst them causing hem to fall of superboy. Robin kicks another off the door and uses a Batarang to destroy the head of one of the ones that using laser eyes to cut through the armored door. Throwing it to the side and off the road to ensure that it''s totally destroyed. Even taking out one of the ones that are flying after them. Find authorized novels in Webnovel£¬faster updates, better experience£¬Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting. Using the open space the drone fills it immediately and starts firing lasers. Destroying one right before it would''ve reached Robin. Only to be taken out by two monkeys. On the roof both Superboy and Cap, we''re fighting the Robots, destroying one after the other with team attacks Superboy threw one of them at Cap only for it to get hit by Caps shield sending it flying onto the side of the road seeing Superboy having trouble with the robots he threw his shield at Superboy only for him to catch it and use it on multiple monkey robots. Back at Kid, Miss Martian, Aqualad... Aqualad pulls on the handle of his bike, which is actually his water-bearer to form a whip and take out two of the monkeys that couldn''t get out of the way fast enough. Instead, the monkeys drop back and go for Miss Martian and Kid Flash''s motorcycles. Using her telekinesis she finds and opening and flies to the truck. While Kid Flash fights for control a minute longer before he jumps off his motorcycle and begins to run to catch up with the truck. The driver''s managing to keep them in their lane, but is totally freaking out. "S-somebody, help!" he cries. While on the roof of the truck two of the use their laser eyes to create a way into the truck. Cutting far enough that they can slip inside, they stop and one grabs the now curling edge pulling it back to reveal two armed guards. They release a barrage of bullets at the mass of robots, only managing to hit one of them. Five remain on the roof, but as Miss Martian flies over them, she uses her telekinesis to knock them all off. Kid Flash runs up beside the truck, taking out the four monkeys with a kick off the side of the truck, using the closest as a step, ripping the second one off and stepping on the third to knock ithe makes his way to the cabin. The three that remain on the back gate are taken out as Aqualad uses both his water-bearers as whips, while still remaining on his motorcycle. One monkey dives right for the driver window, hard enough to crack it as the rest continue to obscure his sight. Miss Martian, covered in six or seven monkeys flies in front of the truck, growing an arm from her head, her lower right side to rid herself of the monkeys that cover her. A monkey flies in low on her right side and she grows another arm to destroy it while taking out the final monkey she grows a third arm on her left side to punch it. Flying right at the monkeys who are obscuring the driver''s line of sight, but she- with now four extra arm, one of which is growing out of the right side of her head- scares him more than the monkeys. However, noticing something on the roof back gates she flies up and gets out of his way. On the other side of the truck, there are two monkeys one that Kid Flash steps on to get to the higher of the two, grabbing its tail to get himself on top of the truck. Where a six armed Miss Martian lands. Startled, he falls to his butt and clambers back. Freaked out by his freak out Miss Martian loses her extra arms and falls into a shocked stance. Before any communication can be done a horde of monkeys fly out of the hole separating the two of them. Assaulting them in sheer number. While another group create a massive hole in the back gate, the Android pieces in hand. Too high too quickly that Aqualad can only screech to a stop and watch which direction they fly off in. Back with Superboy, Robin, Cap... Removing the final monkey from the back gate of his truck with a Batarang gives Robin time to climb up to the roof, just as a monkey pull one of the guards out of the hole in the roof. Robin lands on the balls of his feet, low to the roof, before standing as he brandishes two escrima sticks. Smirking before he charges at the monkeys, using both to swipe one to his left, then back across his body two knock away the second one charging at him. Diving into a front handspring he crosses the hole in the roof. Only to find another drove of them come up from the back of the truck. Though, they don''t make it to Robin as Superboy lands right in the centre of them. Knocking all the monkeys off the truck and Robin off his feet. Four latches onto Superboy, and he blindly rips them off. While two more head to the back wheels on the side of the truck, using their laser vision to destroy the tires and make the whole truck swerve. Robin manages to keep his balance and he leans in front of the driver window. "Get out!" he yells, loud enough for the man to hear him. The man gets the door open and before he can even think Robin has grabbed his shoulders and throws both of them into a cornfield. Seeing no driver and two busted wheels on one side and the truck was about to crash and roll Cap Jumped off aiming his shield at the ground to break his fall once he landed it felt like all his breath escaped his body but he got back up seeing the truck roll over and over destroying many robots. Once the truck has stopped, now upside down the back gate blows out a group of five monkeys flying off with the android parts Cap quickly pulls out a small gun and shot what looked to be gum on one of them. After that Cap went to check the wreckage only to see a guard who stumbled out of the smoking truck coughing. Robin supports the driver as they come back to the side of the road. Setting him down as he watches the monkeys fly off. Behind him, Superboy pushes the whole truck up and off. Breathing heavily he wipes his eyes and opens them slowly, finding his vision is returning. Seeing where the monkeys are flying he jumps with a grunt to catch up to them. "Superboy!" Robin calls in a vain attempt to get him to stop. "Don''t worry I will catch up to them" Cap said as he ran into the cornfield following the robots and Superboy. In his comm Aqualad patches through. "Aqualad to Robin. We''ve lost our cargo. Did you-" Robin cuts him off with a sigh. "It''s gone." he confirms. "And so are my partners." Still crossing massive amounts of distance inbound Superboy and Cap are gaining on the monkeys in great speed. "Aqualad to Superboy And Captain America, Radio your position, We''ll help you." "I don''t need any help, don''t want any!" he yells as he pulls his comm from his ear and on his next drop to the ground drops it. "Superboy?" Aqualad asks, but there is no one the other end now. "Aqualad I am in pursuit of the robots and I''m close behind Superboy-" Cap said turning while running close behind only to realize his earpiece was missing from his ear ''must have lost it from when I jumped off the truck'' cap thought before picking up the pace. Miss Martian, Aqualad, and Kid Flash stand behind their own crashed truck. The only one with his motorcycle still intact is Aqualad. "I think he ditched his comm" Robin states the obvious "what about Cap?" he asks only to see Aqualad sake his head. "Super." Wally moans sarcastically. "Now we can''t even track them." Miss Martian has her hands on her head, but gets nothing. "They are out of my telepathic range. This Professor Ivo if he is alive, seems to be two steps ahead of us." then her confidence fades. "M-maybe w-we should contact Red Tornado?" she questions. "Tornado always tells us to handle things ourselves." Aqualad counters. "And the mission can still succeed if we recover the parts before they''re reassembled." "Well, that''s a great plan," Wally drawls. "except for the part about us not knowing where to LOOK!" he explodes with anger. "Maybe we do." Robin chimes in. Meanwhile, Cap is still chasing down Superboy and the robots carrying Amazo''s parts weirdly he isn''t getting tired at all at first he thought it was the serum but now he doesn''t know it seems like he could run for ages and still not tired from exhaustion ''So this is the super soldier serum...cool'' he thought before he realized he was getting left behind so he picked up more speed slowly catching up. Metropolis August 3rd...At A Diner (forgot the name) "Apple pie." Clark Kent says to the waiter, as a fellow raven sits across from him, his face obscured as he holds the menu high to his face. "The Devil''s Food." Bruce Wayne orders, handing the menu back with a smile. "Something tells me this isn''t about desert." Clark decides, his tone hesitant. "The boy needs you." Bruce tells the bespeckled man before him. "No." Clark snaps back instantly. "He needs you. He needs Red." though his tone shakes slightly and he decides to look out the window rather than at Bruce. "I''m just a constant reminder of what he''s not." "Sorry, Clark, but you''re dead wrong." that catches the author''s attention. "Look, I know he troubles you, but he''s here." he stumbles slightly, but returns strongly for the next sentence, hoping to solidify his reasoning. "You have to get over the how and why." Clark glares out the window. "Trust me on this. This boy needs his father." his eyes narrow, daring Clark to deny what he''s saying. Clark dares. "I''m not his father!" he shouts, standing up, fear and confusion cover any anger there might be in those words. He turns to the cook, placing his fedora on his head. "I''ll take that apple pie to go." he walks to the register and pays, leaving Bruce to skulk in solitude. Gotham City August 3rd The monkeys with the parts fly towards a moving train, the car''s side doors open. By more monkeys to allow them to fly in, the second group right behind them. Then the doors slide shut. Superboy bounds amazing distances, landing on the same car the monkeys went in. Tightening his hand he jabs it into the roof, creating a tear that easily rips wider with his super-strength. Superboy sees no immediate danger and jumps in. Behind him, just outside the shadows are the now-open boxes of the Amazo parts. He hears the monkeys chatter before him. Looking up, shrouded in the green glow of his monkeys is an aging ginger man with a white button down, black slacks, and a black vest typing away on his computer. Taking his time, and entirely calm the man looks up. "Oh, hello." he greets "You? You''re Ivo?" Superboy scoffs. "I''m whelmed." "You''re one to talk." Ivo counters, turning away from his computer, resting his elbow on his fist and placing his hand on his chin. "Since when does the big blue boy scout have a brat?" "He doesn''t." Superboy snaps, narrowing his eyes. "Eh, well, if you say so." Ivo brushes off shrugging. "Have you met my Mobile Optimal Neural Quotient Infiltrators?" he gestures to the dozen-plus monkey MONQIs around him. To which they take off and launch themselves at Superboy. He responds with a cross, taking out one, into a back fist, taking out a second then finding one right where the other just was jabs to destroy it. On his right, he turns with a back first to destroy another, managing an 180 rotation. Finishing the rotation and destroying the final MONQI with another back fist. Knocking the head right back at Ivo. "Ah. And after all the trouble I went through finding an acronym for MONQI." Ivo grumbles as Superboy continues to destroy the small robots. Turning back to his computer. Grabbing two Superboy smashes them together in front of him, completely obliterating them. Though he''s panting. Something moves in the background. "Access: Captain Atom." Superboy''s eyes widen just before he''s hit in the chest with a yellow ray. Which knocks him completely off his feet and into the crates behind him. Meanwhile, After Superboy went into the cart Cap finally catches up and jumped onto the ladder of the last cart "Finally...no more...running" he said before realizing his stamina was coming back frightening pace ''okay, weird''. After Cap got onto the roof he then started running towards the cart Superboy was in but by the time he got there he saw Superboy flying out the cart into the mountainside and into the blade of the bulldozer, then to the flatbed car''s surface. Amazo front handsprings right before him. Dictating "Access: Superman." grabbing Superboy''s shoulders and holding him over the edge of not only the train but the mountain as well. Holding him with one arm he punches him back, over the fields and into the high stories of a building on the edge of the city, a school judging by the number of desks he crashed through. ''One word Ouch...wait is that a word?'' Cap seeing Amazo he quickly presses a button on his belt before jumping towards Ivo who was smirking at his creation destroying ''Superman''s brat''. "And who do we have here another copy of the original''s," Ivo said while looking up and down at Cap as if he was figuring out who he was "Or perhaps not, MONQI''s get him." but before the robot monkeys could reach Cap he already threw he''s shield destroying them. A frightened Ivo started to step back and preparing to run but before he could Cap grabbed him and lifted him up to his eye level. "Tell me everything you know," Cap said in a threatening tone while giving Ivo a cold glare as if he was searching into his soul and of course Ivo sang like a canary. After getting the information Cap needed he threw him away and jumped off the train landing shield first before getting up and walking but he didn''t walk for long as he''s bike appeared next to him ''good thing I built that garage here in Gotham'' he thought before getting on his bike and drives toward the direction of the school. A little Outside of Gotham... Robin, now in uniform, pushes his bike to the limits. Flying past a sign telling him he has finally reached the Gotham City limits. He hears Kid Flash before he sees him, he too is now sporting the brightly colored spandex. "So you changed too?" he teases, though he has no room to talk, since he went as far as to put his mask on under his helmet. "You kidding?" Kid Flash questions back, then makes a noise of disgust that would be accompanied by a shiver if he wasn''t running at super speeds. "I feel naked in civvies. You still tracking the parts?" he changes the topic of conversation. "They were heading through Gotham, but they veered," Robin informs, looking down at the virtual map on his motorcycle. A red cone represents the target: Subject Amazo, The location finally appears in the bottom right-hand corner, Gotham Academy > Distance to Target: 26.5 mi. "Wait! Dude, they''re at my school!" he gasps. Gotham Academy... Superboy gets hit and thrown back into the trophy display case, destroying the glass and a few of the pictures and trophies inside. Falling to the floor, now cut up and blood beading from the glass as Amazo stands over him. Then grabs him by the shirt, whirling his upper body independently to throw Superboy down the hall and into some lockers One of which pops open to reveal a fangirl picture of Superman. Anger overcomes Superboy as he punches the locker door. Going in for another hook, that Amazo blocks with ease and counters with an uppercut to the face. Sending him through the concrete walls of a science lab. Then into the far wall and to the ground. Amazo flying right behind him to stand over him as he hits, then doesn''t get up for a moment. Forcing his hand under his left shoulder Superboy looks to Amazo. "That¡­" he pants heavily "all you got?" he finishes angrily taunting the robot. "Access: Captain Atom." Amazo dictates, holding out one hand that begins to glow bright yellow. Putting Superboy through the floor, then high up through the wall of the gymnasium. He crashes just shy of midcourt, bouncing over midcourt and skidding to stop in the lane. Not too far from the hoop. A singular clap catches his attention. On the bleachers a beaten up Ivo is clapping slowly, backed by two MONQIs. "I don''t usually...attend these things in person" one of the MONQIs chuckles and so does he, "but this was too good to miss *cough*" On the court Amazo dictates "Access: Superman." Superboy sighs stopping on his knees but gets to his feet. Charging at Amazo with a hook punch that actually lands on the robot''s face. Though Amazo retaliates with a back first to Superboy''s face. Now that he''s off balance the android sticks close, hitting him again in the chest, which causes Superboy to collapse in on himself by pure reflex, Taking the opportunity, Amazo strikes his stomach with his knee, hard enough to force Superboy into a small rotation The superpowered teen can do nothing but barely stay on his feet and be Amazo''s personal punching bag. Amazo catches the bottom of Superboy''s chin with the back of his hand, completing the rotation and causing him to stagger back more. Now that he''s facing the robot again he gets a high front kick that snaps his head back, leaving him open for another back fist to the face. Hitting him hard enough that Superboy to fall to the ground. Standing over Superboy, Amazo brings up both fists, ready for the killing blow. When Kid Flash zooms in grabbing Superboy before the strike can land. Announcing it to Superboy with a "Yoink." before grabbing him, just in case the fight rattled his brains. The two skid to a stop beside Robin, all three now by the gym doors and just right of the bleachers opposite Ivo. Robin launches a disk at Amazo. "Martian Manhunter." the android dictates, just before the disk would have hit, now passing through his intangible body. Blowing up behind the android harmlessly. "Access: Red Torna-" before Amazo could finish he cut off by sounds of smashed glass causing everyone to be shocked. Looking up Amazo sees a bike coming from the window above the bleachers "Access: Martian Manhunter" and the bike Phased through him crashing into the court floor "Access: Superman." Amazo continued his march towards the teens seemingly forgetting about the bike but when he was marching black smoke started to crowd the area taking away everyone''s vision including Amazo''s "Access: Red Tornado." Amazo then began to fly up with a red tornado underneath him causing all the black smoke to dissipate. But soon after the smoke disappeared from the rafts a shield came downwards chopping off one Amazo''s arms before landing into the court "WHAT!" Ivo yelled from the bleachers in disbelief. "Damn my aim has gotten rusty over the years," a familiar voice said causing the teens to grin. "About time you got the party Cap," Robin said with a grin. "Wouldn''t miss it," Voice said coming behind Ivo which caused Ivo to Jump in fear as he turns around to see Cap before getting knocked out by him. a red tornado forms under Amazo''s feet, moving towards the three teenaged boys. As they''re hit, Kid Flash is thrown back into the nearby wall, while Robin and Superboy another rush in the opposite direction. Robin and Kid Flash giving out a cry of surprise as they''re snatched by the wind currents. Superboy hits the bleachers, while Robin hits the outside edge of the court then skids to the be in front of the bottom bleacher. Seeing Amazo completely knock the team away Cap jumps towards him with a flying knee but Amazo simply say''s "Access: Martian Manhunter," causing Cap to phase through him but Cap just Grinned as he turned around as Amazo unphased a threw a mini circular device before it blew up like an incendiary grenade causing a fire to develop around him. The Amazo Android fell to the ground before saying "Access: Green Lantern." as a small hole opened one of its fingers the Android made constructs around itself but before it could do anything else Cap landed and still unfazed he pulled out what looked to be a giant pellet and threw it towards Amazo. Once the pellet hit the Android it burst open showing yellow smoke but it attached to Amazo causing him to go into another weaken state. "Access: Super-," before he could speak cap reached his shield a threw it again but this time taking the head off of Amazo causing him to fall down ''huh so The league countermeasures work..cool.'' Watching this fight Robin was taking in every detail of what happened many questions went into his head but one stuck out ''was those batman''s countermeasures?'' Not worrying about it and focusing on the task at hand Robin runs up to the body. "Help me disassemble him now!" Though out of the four, only Robin and Cap are in the best shape, Kid being unsteady on his feet and Superboy not even being back on his yet. Holding his left arm Kid is the first to comment. "Dude, the guy has no head." his lack of high-speed helping is because at this point it seems entirely irrelevant. "Don''t take any chances." Aqualad decides, as he and Miss Martian enter. Both heading in their direction quickly. M''gann landing beside Superboy to steady him if necessary. "Superboy, are you alright?" she questions, noting the amount of damage done to his skin. Superboy smiles. "Fine." he assures, then looks to Robin. "Feeling the aster." Robin smiles right back. "Actually he got his ass kicked big time," Cap said appearing behind M''gann . "Gee thanks bro for the support" Superboy groans which cause the team to laugh. "Hey." Kid Flash says, gaining their attention. "Where''s Ivo?" around them the gym is still smoking in some places from the battle, but Ivo is nowhere to be seen. Mount Justice August 4th... The Team stands before Black Canary, Martian Manhunter, Red Tornado, Batman, and Green Arrow, recounting the status of the mission. "The Amazo android is in again safely being analyzed at the two separate STAR Labs but Ivo escaped, and since he originated the tech, he''s arguably more dangerous than the Android." Aqualad informs. "Capturing the professor will a League priority." Canary informs. "Actually no" Cap speaks up catching everyone''s attention "I placed a tracker on him before he disappeared," he said while throwing a mobile GPS towards Batman who catches it. "Good work." Batman said to Cap which Robin raises his eyebrow in confusion. "But we understand that your mission encountered other complications." Martian Manhunter states, crossing his arms. Aqualad, Robin, and Kid Flash glare at Superboy and Cap, which Superboy has the decency to look away but Cap isn''t bothered. Batman decides to step up. "Complications come with the job. Your ability to handle them has impressed the League." "The whole League?" Superboy asks, knowing the answer. "Given time, yes." Batman assures instantly. "Kryptonians, as you know, have very hard heads." Superboy can''t stop the small smile. "Of course, there''s no shame in asking for help. That''s why the League exists. Because there are some problems even we can''t handle individually." After dismissing the mission debriefing Superboy clears his throat and steps up to Black Canary. Catching her slightly off-guard as she turns to him curiously. "I''m ready." "Good. Because I''m here." Black Canary assures, placing her hand on her hip as she looks him in the eye. . 15 Reason update @@ Sorry for the delay but I had to put this book on hold for a while because I have writer''s block and personal issues, it can''t be rushed but I will officially announce who is the next team up and love interest, she has Dark-black hair, blue eyes, height is 5''9, race Amazon that''s right ITS DONNA and I decided her suit gonna be the Titans rebirth suit because I like that version the most but she''s kinda different in a way, anyways you''ll see.

A red arrow latches onto the black kevlar of a masked, armed guard. Looking down in confusion for a moment, before they can grab it they''re hit by flow electricity. Running past the fallen guard, the two infiltrators has an opening. A red arrow is shot up, with a rope attached to the shaft. As it hits the floor of the next story it opens up to form a tripod that spikes into the ground. They climb up without getting noticed. Now there''s finally a clear image of the hero, red top, red bow, red quiver all lined in black, ending with black pants, boots, domino mask. The hair is unmistakably orange, though the costume has changed it''s Red Arrow aka Roy Harper and right beside him was a man in a black but had red and white stripes, with a star in the middle of his chest and a mask with wings on both sides and an A in the middle of his forehead it was the American hero himself Captain America Aka Steve Rogers. Sanctuary August 6th..... Cap was sitting in front of a large screen with his feet on the console holding a piece of paper with ten numbers on it and he was grinning like it was Christmas but soon he hears his phone going off next to him *Pzzz* *Pzzz*. When Cap picked up the phone he was shocked to see who it was, the name on the screen showed the name ''Red Arrow'' not wanting it to go to voicemail he picked it up "Roy Wasn''t expecting a call from, what''s-?" Roy cuts him off "look I wouldn''t call if it wasn''t important, a scientist is missing her name is Dr Roquette, is there a way you can track her?" "Yea I can but it would take at least a day to get the exact location" Cap knew in the show it was August 7th when Roy rescued the Dr but with his technology, he could track her in seconds but not wanting to screw the story up he decided to say it would take a day. "Okay, where can we-?" before toy could ask anything he saw a beam of light surrounding his body before a white flash blinded him. when he opened his eyes he was confused because he was no longer in his hideout but instead he was in what looks to be a cave filled with vehicles, Giant machinery and Androids working on them. "What do you think it took a while to build this," a familiar voice said surprising Roy making him turn around, and when he did he saw Steve standing there holding his phone. "how am I here? I wasn''t next to a boom tube" A confused Roy questioned. "Well, where you right now is Sanctuary, completely of the grind away from the league" Cap simply says as he walks back to his computer "And how I teleported who...Well even if I explain you wouldn''t know." he begins typing at his computer showing multiple files "Dr Roquette Nanorobotics genius and claytronics expert at Royal University in Star City- vanished about a week ago...interesting." "Yea I been tracking her for a while and the league hasn''t noticed," Roy says with a bit of anger as he walks next to Steve who was still typing. "I activated a Satellite she will be found in a day maxed," Cap says while looking at a screen showing a world Globe but he also noticed Roy placing a small device hidden behind his computer console ''heh so still under the influence of the light...time play a little game''. "Until then make yourself at home but don''t go to the surface yet other than feel free to time around," Cap says as he walks away leaving Roy to wonder. A day later in the present time... "Wait, a camera," Roy says to Cap as he Stands behind a corner, he then strings a red-fletched arrow onto his red bow, looking to the security camera pointed right where he needs to be. Just outside its range, he fires the arrow tip circles through, creating a loop that is then overriding what''s happening on the security footage. "wouldn''t it be easier if we took out the security room?" Cap questions only to get a look of annoyance from Red Arrow. Coming out from behind the corner Cap throws his shield hitting a guard, knocking him to the ground quickly. The guard beside them notices and takes aim, but before he can fire he is shot in the gut by one of Roy''s arrows. In a room, that has been turned into a modified computer lab a woman sits before the screen, typing away. Two guards stand by the door, blocking her exit. "We''re losing patience. Complete the project or forfeit your life." a computerized, though likely being transmitted from another location to her. "I''m completing as fast as I can," she responds not even looking away from her computer screen. A pounding at the door hinders any further response from the guards. One walks in front of it to open it, but can''t as it''s kicked in with a boom. The other guard turns his gun to Speedy firing quickly. Though he manages to duck underneath the shots, using the heel of his hand to knock the gun out the way of the guard then hitting him in the gut with his bow, lifting it to catch under their chin. Then continuing the motion over his head to swipe it across their face, Roy Then finally launch a hard cross at the nose. Knocking the guard to the ground, walking through the door Cap was impressed at the display of techniques Roy showed. The woman looks up at them in surprise. "Dr Roquette?" Roy questions, walking past her. "Tell me you''re the advanced guys." she pleads, annoyance flooding her words. Speedy pulls an arrow from his quiver. "We are the only guys," he admits, nocking it. She looks to the just barely-maybe eighteen-year-old. "You couldn''t bring anymore back up?" she demands. "What, were there budget cuts?" A bell tolls from outside the room, they''ve finally realized something''s wrong. Henchmen head down the halls, Cap hearing the sound of multiple guards coming he gets ready for a fight. "I''ll cover, get her out of here" Cap orders as he tightened the strap of his shield. "What did I say about ordering me and besides theirs too many," Roy said in a little concern but was pissed about taking orders like he was the sidekick. "Maybe but I already figured out my escape route so hurry up and leave." Cap said not looking back. Not bothering to argue Roy aims an arrow at the wall, this one tipped with a blue/grey canister rather than an arrowhead. Releasing it into the wall creates a rather impressive explosion and a giant hole that the Dr and himself can get through. Roquette coughs from the smoke, "Now-or-never time, doc." he says over his shoulder. She looks down at the device that stands just below her waist height while upright on the ground. "We can''t leave this." "My partner is staying behind for this rescue mission so I take it, or I take you." Red Arrow snaps. "Right," she mutters, removing her glasses. "Take me." Speedy fires another arrow with a rope attached to it. Which he tries to a now exposed cross-member. Holding his arm and hand out to offer his right side to the doctor. She grabs on. "Hang on." Just as the guards make it into the room while they''re zipping down the line but before they can shoot Cap goes on the attack by knocking the guns out of their hands and kicking one of the guards back into the hallway knocking multiple guards down Cap the follows suite disappearing into the dark seconds later multiple gunshots could be heard. Meanwhile at the bottom of the mountain on a sandy beach. Roy and Dr go towards something that is covered in a camouflage tarp. Red Arrow rips it off to reveal a blue speeding boat. Roquette climbs in, letting Speedy push the boat into deeper water. "So what do you call this, the Arrow-boat?" she questions as Speedy makes the jump into the boat''s rear seats then up to the driver seat. "I call it a rental," Roys says as he starts the boat "Hopefully that idiot survives" he grumbles as he takes off. Meanwhile, in a long hallway, multiple unconscious soldiers were piled up including the League of Assassins teacher "Sensei" the only one left standing was a man in a black and white, red, blue suit it was none other Captain America. "ARGH" Cap yelled in pain as he slowly pulls out the knife of his shoulder "Now time to look for the central command centre." As Steve walks he hears more footsteps coming his way but this time only 2 people were walking in his direction, a man and young woman around the age of 17. The man was tall and daunting with green eyes, he has black hair with grey streaks and has a long black moustache and wild black eyebrows the man was Ra''s al Ghul. The young women, on the other hand, in words was completely stunning she had long black hair, dark brown eyes that you could get lost in, tanned skin with a square jawline that went well with her facial features, Cap could see her body was slim but trained in martial arts and archery, this woman was Nyssa al Ghul the daughter of the demons head Ra''s al Ghul. (took me so long to figure out what she would look like) As Ra''s was walking slowly towards Steve there was a chill in the air but was calm but all that was going through Cap''s head was ''Why is he here?'' without much delay, he stomps on the edge of his shield making it fly upward back onto his arm. "Quite impressive, Captain," Ra''s says coldly "It''s good to finally meet you my name is Ra''s al Ghul," he said while bowing. "Yea I know who you are it''s better if we hurry this up so I can leave," Cap said as he straps up his shield. "Fine but it''s better if we go to the courtyard," Ra''s says as points to the direction of the end of the hall indicating the way out "After all if this you''re last battle then let''s make it entertaining." Thinking for a moment Steve holsters his shield onto his back "thats fine by me" after saying this he walks past Ra''s and continued onward towards the courtyard. "Father why are yo-" Nyssa said confused but soon was cut off by Ra''s. "He caused me a lot of trouble back in 1942 so I''m simply making an example of him," Ra''s said with a small grin on his face understanding the situation Nyssa and Ra''s begun walking towards to courtyard. Infinity island courtyard August 7th... The league gathered as they surrounded the confrontation of Ra''s and Cap fight on the courtyard including the now awoken sensei who look displeased with his defeat, in fact, he wanted to go over rip out Caps throat but feared Ra''s would rip out his before he could get the chance. "Have you chosen a sword?" Ra''s said as he took off his green cloak. Find authorized novels in Webnovel£¬faster updates, better experience£¬Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting. "Don''t need one I have my shield" Cap replied unfazed by Ra''s chilling nature. "I see, after all your nothing without that shield," Ra''s said with a grin, it was obvious he''s trying to edge on Cap by losing his shield. But surprising Ra''s, Steve just smirked and holstered his shield onto his back again and went into a stance while everyone was thinking Cap was a fool for doing so. "Since you can come back to life I don''t need to hold back right?" Cap said surprising everyone. "If you must but you are underestimating your opponent" Ra''s replied slightly annoyed by Steves boldness but was curious about his ability. The arena went quiet, after a few seconds Ra''s threw his sword towards Cap but before it could hit Steve simply turned his body making it miss but before it could go past he grabbed the handle and threw it back at Ra''s but Ra''s simply dodged and ran towards Cap with a knife he had hidden behind his back. When he reached Cap, Ra''s started his attacks by slashing sideways and upwards but no matter how much skill he used with the knife Cap blocked it by using krav maga but catching him by surprise Ra''s dropped his knife into the other hand and stabbed Cap in the gut. "ARGH" Wanting to create some room Cap picked kicked away sending Ra''s flying and once landing back on the ground you could hear a *Crack*, quickly grabbing a small capsule from his utility belt cap aimed it at the wound and press a button causing the capsule to release cold smoke onto the wound freezing it. Ra''s getting back up he groans as he notices his ribs are broken which he gave a sinister smile and says "Well, Captain its time get serious." as he cracks his neck. "I can do this all day" Cap replied while getting into a fight stance. "We''ll see about that" Ra''s then charges towards Cap again this time using different sets of martial arts but cap simply returns the favour using taekwondo, Krav maga, boxing etc slowly as the fight went on Caps martial arts got sharper and stronger than ever it before so did Ra''s al Ghuls. As Ra''s went for a round-house kick Cap blocked it and started punching his broken ribs which "ARGH" Ra''s yelled in pain but he soon knee-kicked Steves stomach both of them were in pain but carried on fighting. The league was in awe of the display of techniques that was shown by both parties even Nyssa al Ghul who started training at the age of 6 was surprised at the techniques. A few seconds after Both Cap and Ra''s pushed kicked teacher away landing on their backs but they both done a Kip-up landing on their feet but this time Ra''s landed next to his sword so he picked it back up ready for another battle. "I must say, Captain, you are very impressive how about we and this and make a deal?" Ra''s said with a grin. "If it means ending this then I''m listening," Cap said as he grabs his shield from his back. Ra''s the sheath his sword and began talking "How about I crown you the new heir to the demons head" when Ra''s said this Cap was surprised but before he could answer Ra''s added, "And you will be engaged to my daughter, Nyssa Al Ghul." 17 Decided pt1 "How about I crown you the new heir to the demons head" when Ra''s said this Cap was surprised but before he could answer Ra''s added, "And you will be engaged to my daughter, Nyssa Al Ghul." "Father, why do I have to marry this boy," Nyssa snapped at Ra''s Al Ghul only to get a cold stare back from him. "Because your sister isn''t here is she," When Ra''s said this, Nyssa stormed off in anger at her father''s words but Ra''s didn''t care for her attitude instead remained focus on Steve who was still shocked by the events that were unfolding before him "As I was saying, Captain, Do you accept?" Cap thought for a moment before speaking again "I gotta say your offer is appealing but I gotta say im not a fan of the league of Assassins part." "Fine if you accept my offer no more killing shall be done in the league," when Ra''s this Cap was even more shocked and confused then before this whole ordeal. "Give me time to think about it," Cap said as presses a button on his utility belt. "I''ll give you three days to decide," Ra''s replied back as he turned around and left the courtyard leaving behind his sword that he stabbed into the ground. Without saying another word Cap also turned around to leave but soon the whole courtyard was lightened up showing a large aircraft hovering above which freaked out some of the Assassins, Cap then pulled out his grappling hook aiming at the ship before firing a the line and launching from where he was standing onto the ship. "He reminds me of the detective," Ra''s mumbled while he continued waking before the ship blasts off, but the wing a shadowy figure was hanging on. Meanwhile on the ship... "Jarvis are you there?" Cap asked as he was sewing up his wounds from the fight with Ra''s. "Yes sir, the ship is fully operational just in time too by the looks of it" Jarvis replied, "Perhaps you should call Roy Harper to let him know you got out." "Send him a message of a thumbs up I''m...kinda busy" Cap continued to grit his teeth "the small cuts are already healed its just the deep ones that are left but I should be 100% in a few minutes." "Master Rogers perhaps you should take Ra''s deal it would-" before Jarvis could finish he was cut off by Steve. "He wants me to lead an army that was made to kill," taking a deep breath he extends his chair back to lay down "And not only that he wants me to marry a woman who has no feelings for me," he continues. "Maybe your right sir but think of the possibility''s this could help in the project bug spray" after hearing Jarvis he couldn''t help but giggle at the name "And regarding the marriage, it can be for show-" Cutting Jarvis is off again "I''m not that kind of guy if she doesn''t want to marry me that''s still a good enough reason to-" Cap then got struck with the realization "Wait, Nyssa, hates Ra''s so why was she there even in the show she wasn''t in the timeline yet." "Sir you have that look again," Jarvis said worriedly. Shaking his head Cap dismissed his ideas "Jarvis, how far are we from home?" Cap asked as he took off his helmet. "About 14 minutes away," Jarvis replied. "Okay, oh and btw activate the project Horde training," Cap said as he got more comfortable in his seat. Out the ship, a woman with a good over her head was hanging on and blended into the shadows watching Steve in the pilot''s cockpit but when she looked away to get something out of her belt and looked back he was gone from his seat and noticed the ship slowed almost feeling as if it stopped. "Excuse me but did you pay for the ride?" a voice called out frightening her as she stood up for battle but when she turned around Steve was standing in front of her without his shield and a mask on. Without a word, she attacks in hand combat but Cap just dodges and blocks everything "If you are dead will not become the demons successor" she said confusing Steve "I will" she then launches a kick towards Caps head but he simply ducks down underneath before doing a leg sweep tripping her over. "I''m guessing you are Nyssa Al Ghul," Cap said standing above the fallen all Al Ghul "Look can we land somewhere before one of us falls to their death," Steve says as he points down at the ocean below. But she just simply gave a leg sweep of her own knocking Cap down onto his back next to her which gives Nyssa the opportunity to deliver ground attacks but he just blocks all of them again frustrated she does a kip-up and lands her feet but surprising her Steve does the same thing at the same time. "I can do this all day," Cap then goes into another stance preparing for battle again. Which Nyssa just smirks and attacks with fast blows but Cap continued blocking but in a second Nyssa got the upper hand when Steve went for a chop but instead, she grabbed it and tossed her legs around his head and neck throwing him to the ground again without wanting to miss this chance she got on top of him and continued in the attacks by punching him in the face.

But Cap didn''t block he just laid there staring at her which seem to piss her off more as she punched even harder making him bleed above the eyebrow. "FIGHT BACK" Nyssa screamed at him as she continued hitting him over and over before finally stopping. "Are you done? If so then how about we land in a city nearby and get something to eat" Steve said while staring at her as if he saw what she was thinking. But all Nyssa said was "fine." as she got up sat down next to him, placing her knees up and hiding her face as if she was trying to hide from the world. "Are you ok?" Cap asked worriedly, in the fight he noticed she was angry so he let the fight drag on hoping she would relieve some anger from herself "look hop into the ship and we can go buy something to eat, then we can talk." "ok," Nyssa then got up and started walking into the ship with her arms crossed and head down while Cap was guiding her so she wouldn''t fall off the wings of the ship. Washington, DC August 7th... "Jarvis order some pizzas and send them to my place," Cap said, "Oh and prepare the spare bedroom for Nyssa." "Why are you being nice even though I attacked?" Nyssa asked confused "Is it because I''m your future bride?". "I''m being ''nice'' because I have no reason to be mean," Cap said trying to reassure her "And the whole bride thing isn''t gonna happen because I have decided to decline your fathers offer," Steve said shocking Nyssa again. "Why are you-" before Nyssa can ask anything else the airship stopped and landed on the roof a building. "We''re here," Cap said as he started to get up from his seat and leave the ship soon after Nyssa followed. Inside the building, both Nyssa and Steve were in an elevator which was going down until a beep and it opened showing a huge dark loft. "Jarvis, I''m home" Steve called out echo through the loft but soon after all the lights came on showing the Loft at its full glory. (A:N I just imagine Felicity and Oliver''s loft tbh so imagine anything you want) "Sir the Pizzas have arrived," Jarvis replied, "And I got one of the androids to prepare the spare bedroom you requested as well if that is all I like work on our other project." "Thank you, Jarvis," Steve said as he placed down his shield on the side of the shelf "Nyssa feel free to look around the place and also the spare room is on the left I''m just gonna get out of this stuff," Steve says as he leaves Nyssa to wonder. Nyssa began to look around at the multiple artifacts on display, vases, totems, crystals etc. When she reached the end she saw Steves Shield sitting there, curious Nyssa investigated the shield and when she picked it up she was surprised by how light it was. "Its made of vibranium" Steve voice frightened her as she dropped the shield "Sorry I guess im pretty good at sneaking up on people huh." Before Nyssa could speak she noticed Steves body as the shirt he was wearing was a bit tight on him, not wanting him to notice her flustered while staring she quickly turned her head around. "it''s alright it''s my fault for not paying attention," Nyssa said while walking away into the kitchen "if my father saw me put my guard down like that he would''ve made me train until I couldn''t feel anything." "Was it always like that?" Steve asked as he took a seat across from her. "Yes I started training when I was six but in his eyes, I was inferior to my sister," Nyssa said with a straight face but Steve noticed the sadness in her voice. "Honestly your fathers a dick," Steve said causing Nyssa to have a slight smile "Why do you let your father control you?" he asked surprising her by the question. "Because he''s not only my father but the head of the demon," Nyssa said," but in truth, I fear him." "Why don''t you leave your father and forge your own path," Steve said surprising her again "I mean I could help." "No, I cannot, after all, I will be the true successor" Nyssa declared. "fine but I''m telling you, you''re gonna miss out on so much," Steve said as he got up from his seat and walked over to the living room "Like pizza and a movie" he added as he turned on the large flat screen tv. Nyssa was at first hesitant in joining in watching a movie but when Steve called out "Hurry the pizzas getting cold" without another thought about Steve''s ill intentions she went over a sat next to him and began eating pizza. "Wow this is really good," Nyssa said happily, which Steve couldn''t help but smile at her reaction to pizza, noticing Steve staring at her she yelled "What?" "Its nothing just noticing you like pizza," Steve said smiling at her then turned his focus back onto the tv "How about we watch...the Princess Bride." Finally choosing the first movie both of them sat there eating pizza, the more the movie went on Nyssa got closer and closer until she finally was next to Steve as they began to snuggle, The night went on as they watched multiple movies but at the end, they shared a kiss. =========== A:N Okay the whole league of assassin thing was to introduce a love interest but at the same time gives me an idea for later...well actually 2 different ideas but im going with the first idea that makes a new story Arc just for Cap. For everyone who was hoping for Captain America to lead the league of assassins im sorry but at least the new love interest is here. Oh and lastly people who are gonna say "well this sucks not leading the assassins" I kinda agree but I had an idea that sounded really cool just hang in there 18 Decided pt2 Washington, DC...Steves loft...August 8th... Day has risen and the sun is shining through Steves loft, in his room, it could be seen a bed with white messed up sheets and clothes on the ground and a woman laying on the bed covered by the blankets. *groan* the waking woman starts to get up from the bed confused as she looks around to see her clothes on the ground, it takes a few seconds until she remembered what happened the night before. Nyssa quickly turned her head to see the opposite side of the bed only to witness no one laying down beside her, confused Nyssa picked up a shirt and began to walk downstairs. As she was walking down the stairs she smelled something delicious coming from the kitchen, Apon arriving at the kitchen Nyssa saw Steve cooking multiple meals, pancakes, French toast, bacon and eggs etc. "Oh morning," Steve said noticing Nyssa lurking nearby, "I wasn''t sure what you would want to eat so I cooked well....everything that I knew how to cook so pick whatever you want." Surprised by Steves gesture Nyssa took her seat and began eating, once she took a bite of his cooking her eyes lit up "Wow this is really good." "Well it''s actually thanks to a cookbook I found a while back," Steve said flustered at the compliment but in truth, he knows how to cook every meal, anyone, as came up with thanks to his supreme knowledge "Do you want to go anywhere today? I''m pretty sure im free until 3:30 pm." "Uh, well I have to get back to my father as soon as possible," when Nyssa said this she noticed Steve was slightly disappointed by her words "I can stay for until you leave." "Sweet and I were thinking that we should go sightseeing around Washington," Steve said with an excited tone as he began eating "after all I bet it''s not every day an assassin can take in the sights." "Well, I didn''t really have time to sightsee when I was on a mission" Nyssa replied, "But before we go anywhere I don''t think these clothes with suffice after all I don''t wanna stand out." "We can go buy some, ill pay of course," Steve said as he finished his meal "I''ll clean up the kitchen first as you can see its a mess." "Alright while you do that I need a shower," Nyssa said as she got up from her seat and walked back upstairs but as she was walking away Steve who was cleaning up couldn''t help but check her out. "Thank you," Steve was his only words as he looks up to the ceiling. Central City...August 8th The school bells rings at Keystone High School. "Welcome, class, to the first day of Sophomore Year." a teacher''s voice started, his voice broken and scratchy. Wally leans back, falling low into his chair as he groans. ============= Mount Justice Beach..August 8th M''gann and Robin splash each other in the water. Kaldur stay out because that would just be unfair. Though Superboy jumps into a cannonball, landing right between the two, drenching all of them. M''gann laughing as she dodges the wave he created. =========== Washington, DC....August 8th Nyssa and Steve are taking photos of themselves in front of the Lincoln Memorial but as the camera does a bright flash Steve puts a peace sign behind her head When Steve shows her the picture Nyssa had a blank look with bunny ears which causes Nyssa to smile. ============ Central city, Keystone school August 8th. Wally stands in front of a bubbler, the pressure weak and uneven. As he leans down it sprays him in the face. Clenching his jaw and frowning Wally stands back up straight. Looking down he gasps, seeing that it makes it look like he wet his pants, letting out a shaky, gasping groan as he drops his head back. ========== Mount Justice Beach... Hot dogs roast on the grill the Team has set up, Robin picks one up with a fork to eat it. Rather than with a bun like the rest of the Team. Orange mush is placed on a lunch tray, where there already an apple, and something brown that might be bread. Wally looks down, groaning, though this time more in disgust than anything. Kaldur serves the volleyball, getting it over the net, where Superboy bumps it to M''gann who spikes it back at the other two. ========= Washington, DC... As Nyssa and Steve were walking they noticed people following which caused them to grin as they walk into a dark alleyway which 3 men in black follow close behind. After a few seconds, all you could hear was a gun firing and screaming but when it was over Nyssa walked out of the alleyway laughing at what just happened but Steve who was walking beside her had a horrified expression, meanwhile in the dark alleyway one the men were in a trash can and another was hanging by a wire upside down by a fire escape and the last was on the ground with a gun jammed into his shoulder. ============== Central city...keystone high school Wally gets hit in the face with a dodgeball. Groaning he holds his fist up wanting to react, but can''t. Mainly because waves of more dodgeballs come at him, though he wisely uses his arm and leg to keep them from hitting his face or stomach. ============ Mount Justice beach.... M''gann pats the tip of the sand mountain, while Robin pats the other side. The mountain built on a sleeping Superboy, While Kaldur holds a red bucket, pouring more sand onto the side closer to Superboy''s face with a smirk. ============ Washington, DC... Both Steve and Nyssa run into a photo booth hand in hand, laughing, once entering the booth they begin doing silly faces such as the fish face, duck face, crossed eyed etc. But seeing Nyssa smile so much and having fun Steve couldn''t hold back as he kissed her as the photo booth took the last picture. ========= Central city...Keystone highschool The school bell rings once more at Keystone High now 3:29 the doors to the school fly open as Wally speeds out, coming to a skidding stop at the sidewalk. throwing his hands up in the air crying out "Wa-hoo!" because now he can finally get to the Mountain. ========= Mount Justice.... Recognize: Kid Flash; B-0-3 As he reappears in the Zeta Tube, carrying all the necessities for a day at the beach. "The Wall-man is here! " he calls out, running his flip flops "Let''s get this party star-uhn!" he''s cut off as he trips on the pole of his umbrella, falling flat on his face, The beach ball going bouncing into the main room just past an angry Batman as he watches Wally skid towards them. Lifting his head he sees them dressed for a mission "...ted." he finishes weakly. All the other protog¨¦s look to him with knowing smiles and hold no remorse at him making a fool of himself. "Wall-man, huh?" a new voice asks, Aqualad stepping aside so Kid Flash can see her. Decked out in green with an arrow on her chest and a bow in hand, it''s pretty obvious who she''s imitating. The colors accent slightly darker skin tone, brown eyes, and bright blonde hair. "I love the uniform. What exactly are your powers?" Wally ignores her question as he steps up beside Robin and M''gann. "Uh, who''s this?" he asks Kaldur, gesturing to her. "Artemis, your new teammate." she says almost teasingly. "Kid Flash. Never heard of you." Wally continues in the same insultingly teasing tone as Artemis. Green Arrow steps up. "Um, she''s my new protog¨¦." Wally''s eyes go wide. "Wha-what happened to your old one?" he questions, clearly worried, but can''t ask further as the Zeta-Tubes behind him are put in use. Recognize: Speedy; B-0-6 "Well for starters, he doesn''t go by Speedy anymore." Roy states, walking out of the Zeta Tube. "Call me Red Arrow." the three original protog¨¦ are both relieved and tensed to see him in the mountain, but it''s Green Arrow who reacts the fastest. "Roy. You look-" Green Arrow begins, but Red Arrow cuts him off as he walks to the center of training circle. "-Replaceable." he nearly growls, his gaze zeroed in on Artemis. "It''s not like that." Green Arrow tries. "You told me you were going solo." "So why waste time finding a sub?" Roy rhetorically questions angrily. "Can she even use that bow?" Artemis steps up to defend herself, "Yes, she can." she says, almost chipper sounding as she gets right in Roy''s face. "Who are you?" Wally finally questions. "I''m his niece." Artemis says "She''s my niece." Green Arrow says at the same time. This response gets a smirk to grow on Robin''s face. "Another niece?" he questions, knowingly. "But she is not your replacement." Kaldur assures, speaking to Roy. Stepping up as Roy actually turns to look at him, "We have always wanted you on the Team, and we have no quota on archers." From his left Wally pipes up, cheery once more. "And if we did, you know who we''d pick." Artemis steps up once more. "Whatever, Baywatch, I''m here to stay." Roy immediately walks away from her. Right by Kaldur who stops him by speaking up. "You came to us for a reason." "Yeah, a reason named Dr. Serling Roquette." Roy admits, looking to Robin who tenses immediately at the name. Then smiling he pulls up the data on his hologlove. "Nanorobotics genius and claytronics expert at Royal University in Star City- vanished two weeks ago." he states as screens around the whole circle come up. "Abducted two weeks ago by the League of Shadows ." Roy corrects. Robin''s joy shows through on his face. "Whoa. You want us to rescue her from the Shadows?" he asks as he, Wally, and M''gann all step up. "Hard-core." Wally agrees, offering a fist to Robin, Which the Boy Wonder hits on top, then underneath, then on top again. While Roy replies intensely, "I and Cap already rescued her." walking towards the lined up holo-screens. "Only one problem." pulling out a small grey box which brings up a larger screen in front of the ones Robin put up. "The Shadows had already coerced her into a weapon," glancing at the screen to make sure the data''s up. "Doc calls it the Fog, comprised of millions of microscopic robots, nanotech infiltrators, capable of disintegrating anything in their path- concrete, steel, flesh, bone.- but it''s true purpose isn''t mere destruction. It''s theft. The infiltrators eat and store raw data from any computer system and deliver the stolen data to the Shadows." "Wait did you say, Cap, as in our Cap?" Wally chimes in confused at Roy''s words he began to noticed Steve wasn''t anywhere to be seen. "Who''s Cap?" Artemis asks slightly confused as she looks around. Noticing a confused Artemis Robin Whispers "He''s our other teammate actually his superboys brother" when she heard that Artemis turned her head towards a superboy who was frowning at the screen her only thought was ''Wow I wonder what the other brother looks like'' Roy noticing the three distracted he says "When we rescued Dr Roquette, he had to stay behind," everyone''s eyes go into shock at his words until he showed a slight smile before saying "But he is alright in fact this morning he sent me a message....of a thumbs up." everyone began to breathe out and relax from the shock but superboy who''s was quite, frowned in anger. Miami Beach University...August 8th As Roy explains, the Shadows are getting ready to use the technology at the university, In a blue convertible the cyclops sits in the backseat with the container for the fog, opening the top of the container right in front of the Robotics Lab, The Fog comes at the nearby window, where a young woman looks on in shock, then runs as the Fog punches its way through the glass, coming out from the walls and floors. Everyone in the whole building evacuates. The Fog comes into a computer lab, taking over all the computers and loading up all the files on them at high speeds. Near the computer towers is another mass of the Fog, which when enhanced the databanks are being removed- or rather eaten- by the infiltrators. Which look exactly like image Roy has on his holoscreen. Outside the cyclops works on a laptop, controlling the Fog. Even bringing them back into their storage tank where all the data is uploaded. They drive away as the building begins to collapse in on itself. Roy stands before the group, letting the horrible information fully sink in. "Providing them access to weapons, strategic defense, cutting edge science and tech." he finishes. "Perfect for extortion, manipulation, and power broking." Artemis picks up, decidedly ignoring the angry look from Wally and the knowing look from Robin. "Yeah, Sounds like the Shadows." "Like you know anything about the Shadows." Wally scoffs, a smirk falling onto his face, but what he doesn''t expect is for her to smile tauntingly at him. His smirk falls and he looks confused before finally shouting out what''s on his mind. "Who are you?!" Roy deliberately ignores the spat. "Roquette''s working on a virus to render the Fog inert." "But if the Shadows know she can do that¡­" Robin begins, quietly. Roy agrees with him instantly. "They''ll target her. Right now, she''s off the grid." the picture changes again, "I stashed her at the local high school''s computer lab." "You left her alone?" Green Arrow questions, shocked. "She''s safe enough for now." Roy rebuttals. "Then let''s you and I keep her that way." Green Arrow offers stepping closer to the young man he mentored. "You and I?" Roy questions, sounding both angry and surprised. "Don''t you want to take your new protog¨¦?" Before Green Arrow can say anything, Batman places a dark hand on his shoulder. Stopping the blonde in his tracks. He glances back at the Dark Knight before turning back to Roy. "You brought this to the Team. It''s their mission, which means it''s her''s now, too." Green Arrow says calmly Roy scoffs. "Then my job''s done." he says walking back towards the Zeta-Tubes. Recognize: Speedy- "That''s Red Arrow, B06. Update." Roy corrects. The Zeta Tube beeps, recognizing the update, and transporting him away. Behind his turned back Wally turns to Artemis with a glare, M''gann looks over as well, but she''s more confused than confrontational. Artemis looks away from the gingers'' looks. ======== Washington, DC Meanwhile in Washington on a rooftop both Nyssa and Steve sat on the edge staring over the city as the sun began to fall showing the city going into darkness. "You know you can stay if you want?" Steve said catching Nyssa by surprise "I mean the loft already feels empty so having someone around certainly helps." Staring at him for a moment she quickly turns her head back towards the city and says "I''ll think about it," with those simple words Steve could help but be happy. "I''ll take a maybe." Steve said with a happy tone but soon after his ear comm turned on and Kaldurs voice rang through it"Excuse me for a second" Steve said as he got up and walked away leaving Nyssa alone to look over the city some more. "What is it" After a few seconds of talking Kaldur explained the gist of everything which Steve already knew about "I''ll be there in a few minutes," he said Quickly as he turned back around to see Nyssa was missing from her spot. Disappointed Steve took a deep breath before pressing a button on the side of his watch "Well it''s back to work," Steve grumbled as the wind begun to pick up he then turned around to see his ship flying in front of him flashing bright lights. Happy Harbor...August 8th Outside Happy Harbor High, M''gann and Superboy are on the roof with the Bioship camouflaged over their heads. While inside the school Aqualad checks the window to the hallway by the Computer Lab. "Miss Martian, link us up. We do not want the Shadows intercepting our comms." Kaldur ordered. From outside Miss Martian finds the other minds with ease. Connecting them quickly. "Everyone online?" she asks. "Ohh." Artemis half groans, sitting down on the desk Dr. Roquette is working at to keep from losing her balance. "This is weird." "And distracting." Dr. Roquette''s voice cuts in as she continues to code quickly. "Coding a distributive algorithm virus on a kiddie computer with RAM than a wristwatch is hard enough." she stops typing and starts moving her body as if she were speaking aloud, "Now I have to hear teen-think in my skull?" she grips her head with annoyance and perceived pain from a headache she''s bound to get. Wally sits on the window ledge eating a granola bar, Robin is looking out on of the partially opened blind of the same window row, but hidden by the pillar. "Lady, do you always complain when someone tries to help you?" "Pot, kettle." Artemis offers. "Have you met?" Kid Flash is immediately defensive. "Hey. Hey, I do not need attitude from the newbie who drove Red Arrow off the Team." Artemis stands instantly and points directly at him. "That is so not on me." behind her Roquette stops typing to give into her annoyance. "Fate of the world at stake." she tries to remind without getting too angry. "She started it." Kid Flash defends childishly. "How about I just help Superboy and Miss Martian patrol the perimeter?" she offers, already walking away from her spot by the doctor. "Good idea." Aqualad agrees, his tone formal as ever but there''s a noted edge of stress to his simple words. "You might cut her some slack. It was her arrow that saved your butt against Amazo." Robin points out, smirking at the last tidbit of knowledge. Kid Flash''s eyes go wide. "What? No!" he denies instantly "That was Speedy''s¡ªI mean, Red Arrow''s¡­ arrow Right?" he tries, giving the Boy Wonder a small smile as if that would change his answer. "Not so much." Robin admits, teasing clear in his tone. Kid Flash manages to huff in his head. "Well, still not giving her the satisfaction." he says. Walking out of the building Artemis is quick to remind him that''s ineffective. "You know, I can still hear you!" Wally grips his head and groans aloud. "I couldn''t get the Justice League." Roquette grumbles to herself, gripping the bridge of her nose before going back to coding. "The virus won''t be of much use if we cannot find the weapon." Aqualad surmises, stepping up to stand behind the doctor. "Can you track it?" Find authorized novels in Webnovel£¬faster updates, better experience£¬Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting. "My utility fog is not a weapon." she quickly defends, turning towards Aqualad. "It''s science, brilliant science, and of course I can track it, but I''d have to go online." she turns back to the computer but doesn''t continue coding. "Might as well rent a billboard with this address and "assassinate me£¢ written in neon." placing her head on the fingertips of her left hand. Aqualad places his hand on her shoulder. "We will protect you." he promises. She glances back as the dark skinned Atlantean then hitting the enter key to begin tracking the Fog. "Tracking the Fog now." she tells him, though it''s obvious by the way the targeting system is moving across the digital form of the globe on her screen. Coming to a stop on a fully zoomed in image of a plane sitting on a runway. Philadelphia....August 8th Inside the plane the cyclops man holds a drink as the plane slowly moves across the runway. Until the desk beeps. A holoscreen appearing, which is now automatically tracking the doctor''s signal. An old man''s image rises on the left-hand side of the globe. "Roquette has surfaced to track us, but that link''s a two-way street." his screen zooms right in on Happy Harbor High. "Sending her location¡­ now." The old man continues to sit in a lotus, watching the events unfold on screen. "Who we have near¡­ Happy Harbor, Rhode Island?" he questions. Superboy walks the perimeter, coming to a guarded stop as he hears bushes rustling. Following the sound, he leaps to the roof of the school and strides across it with precision, grace, and ease. Landing behind a tense M''gann and Artemis. The archer even having her bow strung. Though, seeing both are more relaxed than he, brushes it off and walking away from the girls. "Mmm...that boy." Superboy turns back, but upon seeing her look at him his eyes widen, realizing she meant him. "He can hear you. We can all hear you." Miss Martian points out, a tenseness to her tone that is not normal for her. Artemis is either oblivious to or just doesn''t care. "Oh, I know." Miss Martian''s eyes widen in shock "By the way, what does the other brother look like?" she asks giving the same look as she did with Superboy. "Miss Martian," Aqualad''s voice cuts in, Miss Martian calming, while Artemis forces her gaze out of the corner of her eye to the sidewalk leading to where she and Miss Martian are. "Dr. Roquette has located the Fog. reconfigure the Bioship so that Robin and Superboy can pursue." Miss Martian raises her right hand and the Bioship lands in the small field before the fence. "Ready." Superboy and Robin run out to it quickly, the open hatch closing right on their heels. The ship takes off quickly and smoothly, whichever one of the boys are flying has clearly been working at it. Turning to walk back Miss Martian gives Artemis a small glare that''s gone before the archer could even blink. Both miss the raven haired woman behind the bushes wearing a jade green tunic with black under layers and a mask with a Cheshire grin splayed for all to see. Miss Martian keeps her back to Artemis, her arms crossed before she finally gives in and talks to the girl. "You embarrassed Superboy." Artemis smiles at the green skinned girl. Almost looking innocent. Almost. "Didn''t hear him say that." Miss Martian turns towards the archer, even though she''s looking away. "Must you challenge everyone?" Behind her turned back, the jade colored, Cheshire-grin-mask wearing woman leaps over the fence. Silent. "Where I come from, that''s how you survive." Artemis states, dropping the conversation there. Though Miss Martian''s frown lessens slightly. Kid Flash is leaning against the wall outside the classroom. The woman''s shadow on the floor catches his attention. He follows it to the intersection but then sees it at the end of that hall. He uses his speed to try and reach the source. Skidding to a stop just before the pool, her shadow visible in the window for just a moment. He speeds into the natatorium, unaware of the hundreds of small spheres on the already potentially slippery floor. He loses his footing, letting out a shocked "whoa" before landing on his back with a grunt. Groaning he looks up just in time to see the woman kick him in the face before all goes black. She kicks his unconscious body into the pool, the 3m depth of the pool. Then running off without another sound. In the Computer Lab Aqualad stands beside Dr. Roquette as she continues to type. The door only creaks slightly as it opens, but it is only open a very small amount before a shuriken comes whizzing towards the back of Roquette''s head. Aqualad takes the hit for her. The doctor goes to stand, but Aqualad sees movement. "Doctor, get down." he calls out. Roquette looks to the source of the shuriken, only to see the Cheshire grin. Her eyes widen and two more shurikens fly towards her, which Aqualad takes to the outside of his right arm as he knocks the doctor to the floor. The ravenette- Cheshire- pushes the door fully open, running behind the computer desks. "Hmm." she muses, twin sais held in a reverse grip as she runs towards the doctor and Atlantean. "That had to hurt." Aqualad pulls out the last shuriken out of his arm, his right tattoo glowing brightly. "Atlantean skin is quite dense." he states, as he pulls out his Water-bearers to form dual swords. Just in time to block her sais. "And my shuriken are quite poisoned." she says, slashing at his stomach, then dodging under his strike at her head, then striking towards his arm which he blocks once more and pushes her away. Kicking her in the chest. She flips through the hit, landing silent and confident in a crouch on a computer table. "M''gann, Kid, Artemis, we are under attack in the computer lab." Aqualad calls out. Miss Martian and Artemis storm through the double doors, Artemis knocking an arrow as she runs towards the computer lab. "We''re on our way." the archer assures Miss Martian stops short, her eyes going wide. Before flying back to the last intersecting hallway she and Artemis passed. Cheshire slashes again at Aqualad, who is keeping the doctor behind his Water-bearers and body. In retaliation, he strikes as her head, which she ducks under and she once again slices at his core, which he jumps back from. She fakes a high roundhouse and gets both her legs over Aqualad''s shoulders and yanks him to the ground with an "oof". Roquette watches the fight like a tennis match. Cheshire throws her shuriken at the bystander, forcing Aqualad to turn his sword into a whip to change the trajectory of the shuriken. Though it still lands mere inches from her face, finally getting her to move and jump back with a yelp. "Almost." Cheshire mutters, as both she and Aqualad stand up, his Water-bearer becoming a sword once more as she a knife from her hiding place. "Poison slowing you down?" she asks as he strikes with both swords once more. "Jellyfish toxin, I''m largely immune." he tells her, getting her face. She uses it to her advantage and headbutts him. Giving him all the pain and her none, despite the height difference, due to her mask being what makes contact. Knocking him to the ground and both his Water-bearers out of his hands. "Largely." she agrees, raising another shuriken. Only for it to be shot out of her hand. Turning to find Artemis already prepared with another arrow. "Don''t. Move." Artemis states slowly. Meanwhile, Miss Martian''s eyes glow red as she raises Kid Flash''s unconscious body out of the pool. Cheshire chuckles, hearing Aqualad get back to his feet and bear his swords behind her since she''s been watching Artemis step closer to her. "This gig''s getting interesting." she brings out a singlehanded collapsible sword. Standing ready for Artemis. Who releases the arrows in rapid succession, however Cheshire slices through them, nearly in half every time. Miss Martian and Kid Flash enter the door and find Doctor Roquette standing in stunned shock as arrow halves fall at her feet. Artemis pauses upon seeing them. Which is what prompts Cheshire to look as well. Now finding herself outnumbered four to one. "Maybe a little too interesting." she admits as Artemis knocks another arrow. She deflects it and drops a flash grenade. Kid Flash jumps through the smoke, hitting nothing and stumbling right into Artemis'' arms. Both of them bumping foreheads. Shocked to find them so close together, and practically sharing breaths, he stumbles back with his eyes wide. Then looks to the now empty space. "Gone." he grunts. "She''s getting away! You''re letting her get away!" Roquette yells at Aqualad. "This was all your fault. You were on the perimeter! How''d that Shadow get in?" Kid demands of Artemis, who boldly stands before him. Her eyes merely narrow at him, but enough to make anyone''s skin crawl. "That''s not really fair." Miss Martian says calmly, walking up to them. "I was outside too." "Outside being distracted by her." he retaliates. "Besides I can''t be mad at you." his tone gone flirtatious and almost sweet as he changes who he''s defending. "You gave me mouth-to-mouth." Miss Martian''s eyes go wide, realizing something he hasn''t yet. "We heard that!" Artemis snaps angrily, while even Aqualad seems annoyed. Kid Flash turns and walks away, dropping his head. "Dang it!" he gripes. Giving Miss Martian and Artemis the ability to talk without him separating them. She gives the newest member a genuine smile. "I didn''t do half as well in my first battle," she offers, even placing her hand on Artemis'' shoulder in an attempt to increase her comfort by offering it physically. "and I know you can''t have been Green Arrow''s sidekick for very long." Before she can respond Aqualad cuts in. "Focus, everyone." though out of the two Miss Martian seems the most annoyed with the interruption. "The Shadows will be back." The radio beeps. "Robin to Aqualad." it catches the Atlantean''s attention immediately. The camouflaged Bioship flies over the coastline of a big city. "We''re over Philadelphia." the Boy Wonder continues. Looking to an image on his hologlove as he flies the Bioship "We''ve located the Shadows'' next target, STAR Labs." All he can do is watch as the building crumbles beneath them. "We''re too late." His eyes go wide at the efficiency and completeness of it. "It''s destroyed, totally destroyed." Even Superboy''s eyes have gone wide with shock. "The Fog decimated it." They look over the broken remains of the entire lab, everything sharded and cracked. "This is bad. STAR Labs is cutting-edge science, and now their secrets are in the hand of the enemy." there''s actually a bit of anger starting to show through in his words. He and Superboy share a look. "What''s our next move?" he asks Aqualad. Aqualad looks to the unhurt Doctor Roquette. "Rescan for that Fog. Find it." then he glances back at the Doctor once more. "We''re moving the doctor." 19 ..... Hi 20 Decided pt3 The Attack On Cap At night a jet could be seen flying through the clouds, the jet seems to be rushing towards a destination at great speed. (Okay quickly vote should the jet be the Benatar or the Quinjet) In the ship, a man standing in a cargo bay was putting on his utility belt over a black suit with red and white stripes covering his gut in a triangle shape and a white star over his chest that was covered in blue this man was Captain America Aka Steve Rogers who was on his way to the team. "Jarvis, talk to me," Cap said as he picked up his shield. "We are 6 minutes out sir, may I ask why did you stop at Wayne Tech?" Jarvis asked confused, the fact that Steve was always late seemed to vex Jarvis. "Just a theory but I left a little something if it is correct." Cap said while grinning which confused Jarvis more "Anyway I hope Nyssa is okay." "Sir you do know she''s an assassin who has been trained since she could walk," When, Jarvis said this Cap felt a little embarrassed. "You''re right it was stupid to worr-" just as Steve was finishing his sentence a loud *Bang* on the side of the ship making it shake before causing red warning lights appeared shining through the jet. "JARVIS! WHAT HIT US" Cap yelled out but only to get silence not wasting time he ran towards the cockpit only to notice the flight controls were destroyed, after few moments "Oh crap" was only the only words that came before Crashing into the ground making the jet do multiple flips before landing upside down. Several minutes went by and Cap was hanging upside from his seat only to wake up by hearing voices outside what sounds like 2 men, 1 woman and 1 monster so without talking Steve slowly lifted his hand and pressed onto the side of his mask. "Jarvis, connect me to the live feed with the working cameras outside." he ordered only to get static "Great..." realising no choice he unclipped his belt and dropped to the floor on his neck. Not wanting to make a sound he endures the pain as he began to get up and walk to the hangar door only to hear the voices get louder. "Well, who''s gonna go first?" one of the men said. "You''re the one who shot the rocket so the honours are all yours," the woman said in a snarky tone. "After what the boss said about this guy no way, after all, I''m better taking my shots from the distance," he said dismissing the woman''s idea of going first. "You need to grow a backbone, after all, we have to the big guy here with us," the other man said who had a deeper voice than the last. "Good idea big guy you go first." which was followed by a gruntled monstrous voice. While listening to this Cap already figured out who was talking thanks to spending a whole night listening to voice files by the criminal''s therapy sessions in every major prison and Asylums, they were Deadshot, Lady Shiva, Bronze Tiger and who Cap could guess was Killer Croc. Not wanting to give them the upper hand Cap pulled out what appeared to be a syringe before injecting himself in his leg, Cap eyes became dilated as he felt stronger than before and couldn''t feel the pain he once felt. Sounds of metal being crushed can be heard as the doors begin being wrenched open showing two hands with scales with a tremendous amount of strength crushing the door when it was open a head popped into the ship with large teeth and yellow-greenish eyes with a black horizontal streak in the middle as the pupils. "No one is her-" but before Croc could finish he got launched away into a tree in the far back of the group. "What the?" Dead shot said as began aiming into the fallen aircraft but without saying another word he fired only to hear of him hitting metal. Shiva and bronze tiger also began to get into a stance ready for battle, Shiva raising her sword and Bronze Tiger reading his metal claws, they both moved forward only to stop to see smoke coming out of the hanger doors before long smoke covered the crash zones ground. Not caring Bronze tiger launched himself into the air aiming for the hanger only to get hit with a metal object knocking him back to the ground in pain with the object showing Caps shield. "What an Idiot he threw his shield away," Deadshot said completely mocking Cap but before he could speak anymore multiple small discs hit the side of his gun gauntlets and rifle before electrocuting him making causing Deadshot to drop his weapons. "Fight me you coward!" Shiva steamed causing it to echo through the Aircraft. "As you wish," a voice said behind her causing Shiva to quickly turn around to see Cap standing before her with a gaze she only saw in one man''s eyes The Batman. "Boo," Cap said causing the surprised Shiva to start attacking at full force casually throwing high kicks, punches, chops, leg sweeps everything only to get countered or dodged. "ahh..uh" Croc grumbled as he began to get up, finally remembering what happened he roared and rushed into battle. Seeing Croc rush in Cap done a leg sweep to Shiva before punching her disabling her from the battle for the time being but for Cap could get up he got tackled into the forest by Croc crashing into many trees knocking them down. Croc then launched himself and Cap into a large rock causing it to crack from the impact seeing but Cap continued to launch elbows into his back making The large Croc scream in pain, seeing Croc''s grip loosening Cap Quickly took charge as he threw a knee to the jaw before going behind Croc and done a German suplex causing Croc to land his neck. "Stay down Croc before this gets worse for you," Cap said as cracked his neck. But Croc simply answered by throwing an uppercut to the jaw sending Cap flying into a tree breaking it, Croc grinned as he walked towards Cap as he got up and rested on the fallen tree. Seeing Croc coming Cap could only sigh as he grabbed the tree swinging it towards Croc, like a baseball bat sending him flying again this time in the large cracked rock before dropping to the floor. Cap began to rest as began to feel the effects of the syringe wear slowly wear off, but before he could relax a bullet through the left quadrant of his abdomen he screamed in pain but before he could get shot more he rushed behind a tree before sealing the wound with a type of freeze gun. "Hey, Captain this is just gonna end way or another! Just give your self up so I can get paid." Deadshot called out but little did he know Deadshot just helped Cap place everything together. Quickly taking deep breaths cap through more smoke pellets causing the area to erupt in smoke before running into disappearing, at first Deadshot was puzzled but decided to fire into smoke without another thought. After multiple repeated gunfire the smoke settled showing no one standing nor body laying on the ground confusing Deadshot more but after a few minutes after waiting he began to sweat. "Okay, where the hell is you!" Dead shot yelled in frustration only to fall onto the ground before getting pulled away by a line dragging him through the dirt and old fallen logs before getting lifted into the air hanging by a tree. "You think this can stop me!" He then Raised his body up aiming at the branch of the tree that was hanging him but when he shot it he landed straight onto the ground breaking his ribs as he screamed in pain. As got up he got launched into the tree before getting pushing repeatedly by Cap breaking his mask without wanting to wast this change Cap ripped the Gun Gauntlets of with the rest of weaponry he had held. As Cap did that multiple daggers hit his back at this point Cap could feel the pain the only thing that was keeping him going was the limitless energy. "You are indeed impressive Captain but that gives me more reason to kill you," Shiva said in full confidence. "Listen, lady, I''m really getting pissed off so can we just call it a day?" Cap said looking back at Shiva who seemed to amused by his statement, Cap closes his eyes and sighs before continuing his battle. Cap made the first move by throwing many discs at his surroundings while Shiva rushed towards him with a sword in hand after a few seconds the disc blew up knocking shiva away creating distance. But she simply got up and continued attacking the fight dragged on longer than their last bout, in fact, Shiva slashed away creating many deep cuts thanks to the already him being worn out, wanting to get rid of her sword Cap left himself open only to get stabbed through the gut which only added to his injuries but this gave him the chance to break her sword before knocking her out. "Finally," Cap said as he began to stagger back to the ship with his ripped clothing only to see Bronze tiger and Killer Croc standing prepared to fight again "OH COME ON!!" Cap calls out as Croc begin to walk forward. 12 minutes later... The unconscious attackers are on the ground while Cap slowly started wobbling towards the hanger of the ship, the syringe effects have worn off a few minutes ago it was obvious that Cap is suffering from multiple broken bones and the wounds won''t be healed for a hours at most but he didn''t care after all he had a mission. Cap began walking over to a metal suitcase, as he opens it he sees a suit completely different from what he usually wears, originally the armour was just for fun but seeing his armour is now destroyed he had no choice but wear it although he did add some stuff himself to it. (The endgame suit don''t wanna describe sorry If you have a suit in mind tell me) After suiting up Steve got on his bike and went to leave but not before a tied up all the attackers but he noticed Shiva was missing but instead of worrying about it Steve rode off rushing to the team. (the location I forgot and too tired to write) Buoy Bells ding in the distance, while Artemis walks around behind the doctor Kid Flash sits on top of the computer tower. When the blonde comes to a stop and glances at him, he glares right back. "Stop it, both of you!" Aqualad''s telepathic voice cuts in and draws their attention away from the glaring contest that was about to begin. "What?" both ask at the same time. From within the bushes outside their location, Aqualad remains calm. "I can hear you glaring," he informs them. Then heads off towards the slight treeline. "Miss Martian, stay in camouflage mode and make a wide perimeter sweep," he instructs, but aloud. The trees rustle behind him as a shadowy head appears. This one covered. Find authorized novels in Webnovel£¬faster updates, better experience£¬Please click www.novelhall.com for visiting. Aqualad is snagged by red vines before he could even hope to react and brought up with only a slight cry of shock. There are hits and grunts, leaves that fall to the ground below, but the attacker and now Aqualad are covered by the foliage. Until he''s kicked out and slammed hard into the side of a parked van, leaving a dent and him to rebound until he falls to the concrete. Looking up he sees the shadow leap out of the trees. As the assassin- Black Spider- lands in a crouch before the Atlantean he stands, only to get hit in the shoulder blades by a man with crane hook for an arm- accurately named Hook. It knocks Aqualad down and out. Cheshire flips beside his fallen body. "The Martian could return any second, and I''m not keen on evening their odds," she tells the men. "We end Roquette now." with that she''s gone again. In the single room building, Kid Flash is watching Roquette as she types, still hanging out on top of the computer tower. The doors burst open and from the doorframe, Black Spider flips out. Kid flips to a similar position, but his left leg out to the side which allows him to stand and pick into a run with ease. Going to wipe out Black Spider''s feet, but the man lives up to his chosen name. Flipping to the ceiling and clinging there. Before shooting red webbing at Kid Flash. Who rolls out of them and towards the narrow cylinder trashcan which he throws at Black Spider to get him to drop back down to the ground. The assassin springs through his crouch, coming in with a cross that Kid Flash easily dodges and counter with a hit to the ribs. Artemis goes to shoot the assassin when the glass window in the ceiling behind her shatters and Hook drops to the ground. She changes her aim and shoots at the white-haired man, who dodges the shot, and the next three by diving between the pews. Artemis knocks another arrow, while Roquette stops typing and turns to her. "Don''t stop working," she instructs the doctor, before releasing the arrow. Roquette says nothing and turns back to the computer. From the double windows, Cheshire lines up an arrow it a crossbow. She releases it, but a desk is telekinetically put in the way of the shot. "Martian''s here. It''s now or never," she commands of Hook and Black Spider, ditching the crossbow. Kid Flash runs at Black Spider, but the acrobatic assassin executes a sudden spin which places him under Kid Flash and able to kick him in the stomach and away with both feet. Finding his footing but as he went to shoot a circular object knocked him away into the wall. The circular object began hitting the walls before hitting the grey-haired man sending flying but before Cheshire could figure out what''s going a man catches the circular object which appeared to be a shield. "Sorry I''m late i had to deal with something before coming here" The man was none other Captain America who again appeared late. "Why are you always late?" The doctor said as her skin begun to change to green and her head turns around to see Cheshire stunned "You know Batman and Aqualad aren''t gonna be happy your late." she added as the Dr''s real form was Miss Martian but soon she realized something was wrong with Cap but she focused on the mission "I''ll worry about that later but right now lets deal with Captain Hook here," Cap said as he fixed the strap of his shield. "We''ve been duped!" she calls out, both angrily and to alert both men working with her who was still on the ground from Caps surprise attack but both begun to get up. At the Sandbar Internet Cafe is the real Doctor Roquette working on a computer as Aqualad stands guard. "I''ve almost got it," she tells him. Meanwhile with Superboy and Robin "The next target''s a WayneTech Facility," Robin says, shocked as the camouflaged Bioship comes to a slow just outside the building. "In theory," now he has Superboy''s attention, the clone can hear the emotions raging through Robin''s voice. "it''s system software could be used to hack the-" he cuts himself off. "The what?" Superboy asks expectantly. "Doesn''t matter." Robin tries to brush off. "Wh-what matters is WayneTech. operates a 24-hour workforce. We''ll never evacuate the building in time." In the parking structure across the street, a dark grey van pulls into a parking space. Inside is the Cyclops and the Fog. Which he quickly begins activating. Miss Martian in her classic form, levitating in the air a good four feet over Cheshire and Hook''s heads. "You''ll never find Doctor Roquette," she tells Cheshire with conviction. "Never''s such a long time." Cheshire teases. "Pursuing target. Keep ''em busy," she calls out. Running off. Hook launches his hook at Miss Martian to prevent her from following but before it could Cap grabs before wrapping the hook around his arm and pulling it launching Hook towards them which Miss Martian returns the favour by punching him launch back across the room but this time he simply gets up and attacks again. Artemis is just starting to get her feet when Cheshire runs by. She quickly gets back to her feet. "Pursuing their leader," she calls out, Kid Flash is still fighting Black Spider, blocking his punches, then managing across to the assassin''s face and knocking him down. "Take the rest down." he watches the blonde run out the double doors. "You are so not the boss of me." Kid calls after her, annoyed and purposefully dragging out the so. "Just do it!" she snarls over her shoulder, not losing stride. Behind his turned back Black Spider gets to his feet and throws his arms around Kid Flash so he can''t move his arms. His left arm slides closer to the speedsters neck as his right-hand grips the ginger hair tightly. Artemis follows Cheshire outside the building, but the cat-themed assassin notices the lack of an unconscious Aqualad immediately. "Oh, I do not like being played." she murmurs to herself. The lenses of her mask light up and she can now see Aqualad''s footprints as they lead down the road. She takes after them quickly. Artemis stops in nearly the same spot Cheshire did, knocking an arrow. Releasing it. Cheshire strikes it out of the air. "I was hoping it''d be you," she says, the smugness in her voice shows that smile on her mask is almost definitely on her face. Then she takes off down the street again. Getting to the rooftops and running across them rather than on even ground with Artemis. She lands before two chimney stacks, but before she can make her way around them another of Artemis'' arrows is released. This one sticking to the chimney on the left and releasing a purple gas. Causing the assassin to cough a few times before she loses a grip on her sais and falls unconscious with a groan. Artemis lands in a crouch, bringing another arrow out of her quiver, stringing and bringing slight tension to it. When she''s close, Cheshire turns to her side, putting her hand underneath her body, and knocking Artemis'' legs out from under her. "Mask has built-in filters." the assassin taunts. Artemis goes for the sidekick, which Cheshire blocks with her arm, moving through the motion Artemis goes for a roundhouse to her head. She whiffs but gets back to her feet. Unfortunately, Cheshire gets her hands locked behind her back and knocks her bow out of her hands. "Better luck next time, kid." Cheshire teases with ease despite the amount Artemis is struggling. She hits the archer in between the shoulder blades. Knocking her to the ground with a cry. Aqualad hears a thump on the roof and immediately turns to Roquette. "We have company," he says tensely. (not that I can blame him if I had to watch her I''d be annoyed too) "Uploading now," she says, typing even faster. "And by the way, you said you''d protect me." she snaps. A singular sphere rattles its way down the dark hallway, coming to a stop just within the visible range. Before stopping and immediately releasing a smoke screen. Aqualad whips out his Water-bears quickly, forming solid swords in seconds. Roquette stands up beside him when nothing happens for a few seconds. From behind his a ceiling panel is pushed loose. Sensing something he turns, only to get three darts to the chest in rapid succession. Cheshire drops to the ground confidently. "Let''s test the limit of you Jellyfish immunity, shall we?" she taunts. Aqualad shakes his head in order to clear it before charging at the assassin. He strikes high with his right. Which she ducks under, then at where her face is now with his left. Which she tightly flips over. He strikes downwards, but she steps out of the way and lets his momentum throw him off balance. As he turns towards her she unleashes a roundhouse kick to his face. Which knocks him straight to his front on the floor. Both his Water-bearers losing their integrity and the tattoos dimming in unison. "There, the limit tested," Cheshire says simply. Then turns to Roquette. "Now, doctor, time for my appointment." she enunciates by bringing out a sai, which gets Roquette to cautiously move away from her. All while the upload is being processed. With the bioship still camouflaged Superboy and Robin wait by the opening back hatch. "It''s downloading," Robin informs, watching the progress on his hologlove. What catches Superboy''s attention is the sound of a van door opening. He recognizes the Fog''s storage container instantly. "Don''t need it!" he growls. Jumping despite Robin''s cry of "Superboy!" but the Boy Wonder can only watch as he jumps right at the cyclops. Before he can reach him the man uses the grey control panel hanging from his shoulder to release a red laser beam at Superboy. Strong enough to knock him back and to the parking surface on his back. Unmoving. The cyclops turns back to the container and releases the Fog. "No!" Robin calls out, grappling to the nearest light pole then flipping to get to the next and land before the surface level of the WayneTech facility. A hole eaten through the double doors. The security guard can only watch the cloud go by in shock. "What in the-" he cuts himself off as he sees Robin run past him. "Hey! You can''t come in here!" yells at the not stopping Boy Wonder. Moving to grab his walkie talkie. "Unauthorized entry!" The gated doors start coming down ahead of the Boy Wonder. "WayneTech override- RG4," Robin calls out. The nearly closed gate rises giving him enough room to roll underneath and keep running. Miss Martian manages to dodge the large hook as it comes back to its source, Once she''s out of range she throws her hand out telekinetically moving the pews beside Hook, He obliterates the first one but barely manages to get the one that rises to his turned back. Knowing she''s vulnerable he turns and launches his hook at her once more, She spins away s it sticks to the ceiling. "We need to end this now," she tells him. "On it!" Cap then throws his shield at the chain of the hook breaking it making Hook defenceless before jumping into him with the high knee launching Hook into a wall soon Miss Martian then launches the broken hook at his head knocking him out "Woohoo!" she says happily, aloud. "We got ours." Meanwhile, The Speedster who was fighting Black Spider got distracted by Miss Martians cheering as the red webbing clings to his left shoulder, Looking over it for a mere second until he starts spinning at high speeds. Black Spider is too shocked to be able to counteract it before he''s whisked off his feet. Kid Flash jumps, while still spinning, and lands a dual set of kicks to Black Spider''s chest, breaking the webbing and sending the assassin back into a pew and breaking it with the force Kid Flash hit him. "Hey, guys!" Kid Flash says trying to catch their attention, then tries to work against the webbing finding it not anywhere near budging. "Uh, a little help?" Cap begins walking over to Kid Flash to help "Sure just give me a second-" but before he could make it he fell to the floor unconscious. "CAP!" both Miss Martian and Kid Flash call out to in horror as they begin to rush towards him, even K.F started struggling out of red webbing to go to his friend''s aid. Miss Martian was the first to go to Cap''s side as she desperately looks for a pulse after a few seconds she finally breathes in relief. "is he ok?" Kid asks in concern which gets replied with a nod from Miss Martian "I don''t get it he was fine a few seconds ago." As Miss Martian looks over his body she notices blood coming from his mouth "He needs to go to a hospital and fast by the looks of it." She realized if they go to a hospital Caps identity will become public "Kid, go ahead, I''ll stay here and keep him stabilized." Of course, he wanted to argue but decided against it since its awful timing so without another word, Kid ran off towards the direction of Kaldur and Artemis. As soon as Kid left, Miss Martian hovered her hands over Caps body trying to use her abilities to stabilize him but she soon realized it was harder than she thought it would be until an unfamiliar voice came over the comm "Miss, A Backup jet is on its way it should be there in a few seconds." Surprised Miss Martian began to question him "Who is this? How did you get on this frequency?" He simply replied with "My name is Jarvis A advanced A.I built by Steven Rogers" when he said this Miss Martian eyes widened in surprise. As she was about to ask more questions she could feel the ground shaking as the windows began to rattle "Please carry Mr Rogers into the aircraft since as you can see indisposed, " Miss Martian then used her telekinetic powers lifting him off the ground towards outside only to see a ship that landed on the road she was surprised at first but realized it wasn''t the time to stare in amazement as Cap was slowly dying. She then went into the aircraft with Cap as it closed its doors and took off into the sky away from Happy Harbor. Cheshire continues to back the nervous doctor up, away from the unconscious Aqualad. Grabbing the front of her shirt elicits a gasp from the doctor as she closes her eyes, expecting her end. Before that, she looks to the computer with the download progress showing. Cheshire cocks her head and follows the woman''s gaze. Just as the bar shows full download and the computer beeps in agreement, The assassin turns back to the doctor." So you''ve finished the virus," she states. "eliminating the reason for your elimination," despite her words her sai is getting closer to the doctor''s neck and face. "though not your entertainment value." she gets right in front of her and watches as the blonde''s eyes go wide. The sudden release of her grip sends the doctor to the ground, "Lucky for you, my orders are clear, You live to program another day, After all, doctor, Shadows may find another use for you." she shies away from the assassin, the final statement more terrifying than any proceeding it. At the WayneTech. Facility the Fog is still running rampant, but Robin is fully focused on the download status of the virus, Once it''s fully uploaded to his hologlove the result is instantaneous. The screen of the computer he''s logged into goes red. Inside the computer, the Fog Bots turn red mere seconds before exploding. Robin turns to watch as the Fog Cloud behind him turns red before disappearing, The woman behind the counter breathes out a sigh of relief. "Yes!" he cheers, clutching his unoccupied hand, "The infiltrators have been outfiltrated!" The Cyclops can only watch as the Fog turns red before disappearing, What catches his attention is the fact that Superboy is standing once more and walking towards him, Reacting he shoots another beam at the clone. Superboy grunts as he blocks it with his forearm, but is able to charge ahead as he blocks most of the beam. Some smaller ones still hitting him, but not enough to hinder his movements. Gritting his teeth he faces the source, pushing harder despite the pain, Once he''s close enough he fully faces the man, then reaches out with his hand and stops the beam from even leaving the helmet, The backlash knocks the man into the side of the van and limply to the ground. Cheshire walks out of the Sandbar Cafe. Only to be stopped as four of Artemis'' arrows land before her and explode quickly. Her mask falling off and out of the smoke. As it clears she''s on her hands and knees, her back to Artemis'' taut bowstring and very sharp arrow tip. She subtly pushes up, but Artemis sees it. "Don''t move a muscle." the archer snarls. Despite the warning, Cheshire stands. "Wow." she murmurs, turning to face Artemis over her shoulder, Her eyes open to reveal the same murky, dark, expansive brown as Artemis'' own. "I am completely at your mercy. Artemis'' eyes widen slightly as she gasps, "You." "I suppose now you bring me to Justice. Let your new friends interrogate me." she taunts. "I wonder if your position''s secure enough to survive them learning everything I know." There''s a long pause where neither of them so much as breathe. Then, Artemis silently lowers her bow. "Didn''t think so." she starts backing up, smoke curling around her. "So like the Cheshire Cat, I''ll just disappear." with that even her shadow has gone missing. The smoke stays for another moment then it too, disappears. Aqualad pants as he''s mostly supported by Dr. Roquette as she helps him out the door. "Artemis, where''s the assassin?" he questions. "She, uh- she got away." she stutters out quietly. However, Kid Flash finally arrived at the scene with a face of distress as calls out "Cap''s badly injured, we need to go." catching everyone''s attention. Aqualad becomes worried as he asks "What" yanking out a dart from his chest "Happened?" he finishes, yanking out the last dart as he steps closer towards the two without Roquettes support but the doctor remains close "Thats the thing he just Collapsed out of nowhere, Miss Martian is already on her way to the base with him" Kid said trying to ease the situation. Aqualad took a sigh of relief as he looks down and his eyes showed his confused state, a small smile on his face as he recognizes it instantly "Her mask?" he questions "Artemis, did you see her face?" "It was dark." Artemis defends, as she walks away from the groups looking towards the bay. "It is fine." Aqualad assures as he reads her body language since she won''t say anything. "Robin and Superboy neutralized the Fog, and Dr. Roquette is safe, thanks in no small part to you," She glances over her shoulder before fully turning to face him. "Welcome to the Team." She gives a small smile in return. Aqualad steps up before her and offers his hand. After a slight hesitation, she takes it. Artemis also offers her hand towards Kid, who didn''t want to argue anymore since Cap so he decides on taking it, Though he does look at it the whole time like he thinks it''s going to either explode or eat him. Gotham City; August 9th; 1:16 EDT An out of order telephone booth glows gold, as it shuts off Artemis opens the doors. Looking around as she walks into the center of the alleyway. Her eyes narrow as she looks to her right blindspot. Spinning tightly she crouches to her knee, aiming her bow at the shadowy figure whose only noticeable features are their bright-white eyes. "Step into the light." she demands, her arm shaking slightly from the effort of holding her drawstring back so long and moving into that position so quickly. "Now." Nonchalantly Red Arrow does "Nice move." he says with a slight scoff as he walks towards her. Artemis releases the drawstring, and stands up, "Almost made me believe you are Green Arrow''s niece," he says a resentful tone to his words as he stops before her. "though we both know you''re not." Artemis glares, "Still, I''m sure G.A. and Bats had a reason for lying, so your cover''s safe." he leans down and into her personal space. "But I warn you: do not hurt my friends." he practically growls, Then walks away. Behind his turned back Artemis'' shoulders sag. Meanwhile "Report." a voice demands. The old man''s eyes open, sitting in the center of a semicircle with Light Screens above his head. "Masters, before Ojo''s capture he transmitted the STAR Labs data you required, but the WayneTech intel still eludes us. "Once again the young... heroes interfere." L-2 states. "So it''s fortunate that we have an operative... on the inside." the old man smiles dreadfully. 21 Upgraded Sui Mount Justice...August 10th Everyone gathers around a capsule with Steve laying inside he had on an oxygen mask with multiple Scars, Bruising and bullet wounds on his body "Who could''ve done this?" Kaldur was the first to speak seeing as everyone was speechless at the state of their teammate. "Once I get my hands on whoever did this they gonna be sorry!" Connor was absolutely furious from seeing his brother in a weakened state. But just before Connor stormed off from the team Batman came into the medical room, He didn''t say anything at first but glare at the recovering Captain before speaking "All of you meet me in the debriefing" He said leaving everyone alone. A few minutes later the whole team gathered in the mission, Miss Martian, Robin, Aqualad, Kid Flash and Superboy who was standing at the back of the team like alway and lastly the new member Artemis. At the front of the team, Batman with Canary and Red Tornado stood by his side looking on at the team, Once witnessing everyone was gathered, Batman pressed a screen on his gauntlet as a giant screen popped up beside him, On the screen, it showed a crashed Aircraft in a forest with broken down trees "This Aircraft was found a few minutes away from your location....and it appears to belong to Steve Rogers" when he stated this the team''s eyes widened. "When did Cap get his own Jet?" Kid Flash Asked in confusion before his eyes started shining "Wait Do we get our own Jets too." He said in an excited tone before getting elbowed in the ribs by Robin. "Dude, not the time," Robin said before turning his back towards Batman. Batman waited a few seconds to get Kid Flash''s attention again before talking "Next to the aircraft was Bronze Tiger and Killer Croc but in the forest where we found multiple broken tree''s and Deadshot we also believe there was another by the footmarks we found who uses a sword." Robin''s eyes widen "Do you think it was the league of shadows?" when he said this Artemis who was close by started to pay closer attention "Cap was missing for the last couple of hours after fighting them." Batman was silent for a second''s "It''s a possibility" he simply states "But we don''t know for sure since they have a history of being hired guns" the team then began to talk amongst each other with different theories each time. "the only person who knows what actually happened is in healing from multiple bone fractures and cut lacerations until he wakes up we can''t be certain of anything" all the voice chatter began to go quiet after hearing Batman "Mission Briefing is dismissed." Batman then left leaving everyone alone to think about Caps condition. ..... Mount justice August 12th... Recognize: Artemis; B-0-7 Artemis appears coming out from the Zeta Tube, wearing her brown jacket, white t-shirt showering off her thin belly and tight black jeans with black heel boots displaying her long legs, even in casual clothing she looked stunning. As she was walking she could hear clunking coming from the halls curious she followed the sounds walking past multiple doors until she reaches the Mount Justice gym where her eyes widened as her face began to blush. In the gym, Artemis saw a shirtless Cap showing off his incredible physique while using a salmon ladder, Artemis eyes were glued onto his body as she looked up and down while biting her cover lip seeing the sweat drizzling from his abs. (basically Chris Evans physique) "Wow seems like you don''t mind showing off a bit do you?" Artemis said as she leaned against the door frame while checking him out "Not that I mind it." Hearing Artemis he glanced over as he began to look up and down at her as a smile went across his face "You don''t look too bad yourself." Cap then let go of the bar leaving it at the top of the salmon ladder while landing on his feet and went towards her "You must be Artemis, welcome to the team." Cap held out his hand which Artemis didn''t think twice about before shaking it, but not before she took a last glance at his body one last time. "So how long you been up?" Artemis asked as she noticed the mess around the gym such as broken punching bags, left out dumbells and other gym equipment. "Well since last night." Cap replied before going towards a treadmill where his shirt was hanging "I would love to talk longer but I need a shower before leaving." Cap said grabbing his shirt as he starts to leave. "Wait, I thought you lived here?" Artemis didn''t get much information from the team about Cap the only one who knew the most about him was Connor aka Superboy but he didn''t give Artemis much information either since he didn''t trust Artemis all that much with Caps personal life. "I used too but I live in Washington now," Cap said as he walks pass Artemis who continues to follow and asks more questions but Cap didn''t mind all that much. "So why the shield?" Artemis asked, from what the team told her the shield was really special but no one seem to know what it is made of. "Its something I got attached to during the war," Cap said which caused Artemis eyebrow to raise because not many on the team actually knew about Cap going to war since the league kept it secret. She continued to ask more questions which is very unlike her but for some reason it seemed easier to talk to him than most people, it soon ended as Cap arrived at his old room immediately Artemis knew this room was special since the door looked different from the rest, as she was about to ask a small blue light began to scan Cap as he stood in front of the door. "Welcome back Mr Rogers." a feminine voice said as the door opened which at first freaked Artemis out. "What was that?!!" Artemis went on alert as she looked around only to see no one was there. "it was just Holiday, I have multiple strongholds that have different A.I''s" Cap replied as he turned on the room lights to show multiple vehicles, suits on display, workshops and weapons on the walls. "Whoa, now this is a room." Artemis was in awe about the room if it can be called that since it was quite massive ''Wait is all the rooms in this mountain like this'' "Feel free to look around, I''m going for a shower," Cap said leaving Artemis alone, he honestly didn''t care all that much she couldn''t hack his computer and all the stuff on display was deactivated, The first thing she did was go towards the cars and motorbikes. ..... After a few minutes go by as Cap came back out of his bathroom only to see Artemis was missing, at first he thought she left but suddenly one of his cars engine roars, looking over he saw Artemis sitting in a Boss 429 Mustang with a smile across her face. Seeing Artemis Cap walked over to her and tapped the window "Looks like you''re having fun," she turned her head in surprise as she wasn''t paying much attention. Seeing Cap she then quickly got out and handed him the keys "Sorry, I saw this car and-" before she could finish Cap held up his indicating for her to stop. "I understand so don''t worry about it" Cap then stopped talking for a few seconds and looked at the keys as if he was in deep thought before tossing back to her "You can have it if you want." "Wait, what..." Artemis was shocked by this, he basically threw it away like it was nothing "You do know how much this goes for right?" "Honestly I Don''t remember but I have 10 of them so go ahead" Cap replied as he grabs his shield "Just tell Holiday where you live and it will be delivered anyways I''m heading home." after saying this Cap left leaving Artemis staring at her new car. ... Washington, DC August 12th... Flying over the city in his Quinjet, Cap was going through files on a display screen in the cockpit where he was sitting, on the screen it had a blueprint of some sort Cap stared deeply at the screen as if he was in a deep train of thought. "You might need to see this sir." after Jarvis said this a new screen popped over the blueprint which now showed the news channel with Cat grant as the lead reporter who seemed to be in a panic. "This is Cat Grant reporting in from Washington, a battle has broken out, multiple assailants with the known criminal FireFly who is setting fire to multiple buildings-" Cat kept speaking but Cap already heard enough. Cap got out of his seat and went to the Cargo Bay where a metal suitcase was being kept, Cap grabbed the metal case and pressed his hand in the middle a bright light shined before a *Click* sound could be heard, Cap opened the suitcase to show a suit with his classic Red, white and blue colours. (upgraded Endgame game suit) ''Thank. you. Jarvis,'' Cap said with a smile across his face, When Jarvis sent the Jet to transport him back to Mount Justice The Super A.I also stored the new suit on board the ship knowing something happened. Find authorized novels in Webnovel£¬faster updates, better experience£¬Please click www.novelhall.com for visiting. Despite how the suit looked it had tech that even Batman didn''t have, it also had Ice resistance and flame resistance although the suit would be destroyed if lava landed on it, and the helmet was also attached to the neck collar which had a small voice module hidden in the material located near the neck which thanks to the material a bullet couldn''t even pierce it. The helmet was also bulletproof and was also fitted with a radio which connects to every frequency nearby, also the gauntlets and gloves were able to listen in on people as long as Cap had his hand on a nearby wall and the gauntlets were able to copy another person hand print if they came in contact beforehand. And now the utility belt which held a lot more than just pellets and his grapple gun but the suit had also another upgrade called Mode which was specifically built to fight certain enemies such as Kryptonite mode which made everything in the suit and the suit itself able to go toe to toe with Superman. Lastly, a small case was all that remained, as Cap picked it up he opened and what was inside was simple contacts -or so it seemed, Cap slowly put each into his eyes and every time he put one he felt a slight pain that lasted only for a few seconds, once Cap was done his eyes glowed bright blue. "Sir we have arrived," Jarvis said as the ship stopped. A smile went across his face as he picked up his shield and strapped onto his arm "Jarvis...open the doors" as Cap ordered the back door of the jet opened without another thought Cap ran and jumped out into the city where gun fire could be heard. .... A:N Slow I know but life has been hectic and probably will continue to be for a while and if the writing on here is wacky then sorry I had to write a little like every few days and I had written 5 drafts and this was the only one that made sense...kinda there was another but it was weird. Oh btw I had time to catch up on Young Justice season 3 since I felt like it would''ve been a crime not to watch (spoiler ahead so leave this chapter if you hadn''t seen the latest stuff) and how does everyone feel about Will and Artemis because honestly, I don''t like it I''m still in denial of wally (HE''S DEFINITELY IN THE SPEED FORCE! DONT YOU LIE TO ME) and I wanna ask what do think of it? do you ship or no? 22 FireFly Washington, DC August 12th... Sirens and gunfire could be heard through the streets of Washington with buildings on fire it was safe to say mayhem has flooded the city, many firefighters were on the scene trying to save as many people and buildings as possible. But no matter how many burning buildings the firefighter''s extinguished more would keep showing up, not far from the fires the police who were seemed to be in the crossfire with the criminals who started all this and a man who was flying around in the sky with a jet pack and flamethrower. The police had the criminals surrounded by blocking both exits of the one-way street but it was obvious it wouldn''t end anytime soon as the man in the sky continued to set fire to his surroundings. "HAHA, this city will burn!" The flying man was commonly known as FireFly who wore a black and yellow suit and was made out of some sort of metal that seemed resistant to fire, but before FireFly could set another building on fire a *TONK* and a humming noise could be heard as he got knocked away before stabilizing himself in mid-air. "Not if I have anything to say about it!" a voice rang out catching the attention of FireFly and his crew, as they look towards the nearby building they see a man catching a circular shield that generated a humming sound. Not only FireFly but the nearby civilian''s attention turned toward the figure, as they saw a man in blue with red and white stripes holding a shield it was none other than Captain America himself. "I''m gonna give you a word of advice...this isn''t gonna end well for you," Cap said glaring at Firefly who''s the only reply was maniacal laughter. "Kill him." as Firefly ordered 6 crew members opened fire only to miss when Cap started running along the roof of the building before throwing a smoke pellet at his feet, this didn''t stop the crew however as they continued to fire at the blue smoke. As their guns finally ran out of bullets the smoke clears only to see nothing "Where did the-" *Smash* before one of the crew could finish Cap flew out of the window of the building, shield first blocking his body from any incoming bullets. Landing on the ground shield first before rolling in between two of the crewmen "Holy shit!" one of them then aimed at Caps head only for it to get grabbed and aimed at his partner''s foot. *BANG* "Arghh" the man screamed in pain as his foot now had a bullet in it, but before the crewman could help out his friend Cap slammed his shield into him like a punch to the chest sending him flying into a nearby car knocking him out. Cap then used the end of the gun by hitting the injured man across the side of the head causing him to join his friend into the dreamland before dismantling it. Cap then threw his at a nearby Car causing the shield to Ricochet off the door before hitting the nearby enemies, who were aiming. "Hey, die already!" Firefly said as he fired his flame thrower full blast at Cap who covered quickly covered his face "BURN, BURN, BURN!" Cap then threw a small disc towards him only for it to be dodged "he is that all you got." which Cap only grinned it was then *Beep* *Beep* a confused Firefly then turned his head to see the small disc attached to his Jetpack "Huh? Oh crap." Firefly then got electrocuted before falling back to the ground, meanwhile, Firefly''s last crew members ran towards Cap with their guns ready, seeing this Cap stomped a manhole cover underneath his foot before spin kicking it towards one them breaking the line. Taking advantage of this Cap rushed towards them giving no room for fire upon reaching them he quickly dismantled their guns it was so fast, in fact, that it seemed as if it was less than 4 seconds. "What fu-" Cap didn''t wait for the crewman to finish as he used his palm for and uppercut it was safe to say the man would later need to see a dentist...or get a new jaw. Only two left Cap didn''t see a point to let this carry on as he pushed kicked one of them into the other before growing two more discs electrocuting them both "dont wordy they were on stun." Cap then walked over and picked up his shield only to hear "I promise this city-no this world will burn for me until then watch your back" turning around he sees Firefly flying off. "Seriously?" Cap let out a small sigh before throwing his shield at Garfield knocking him out of the sky onto the building. ... "No...no this isn''t how it''s supposed to be" Firefly grovelled on the ground as the Jet pack was no longer working. "it''s over Firefly," Cap said as he stood over Firefly while holding handcuffs, Cap then attached the handcuffs onto Firefly''s wrists then grappled away towards the police cars to drop off a present. ... After dropping off Firefly multiple reporters swarmed Cap and began asking multiple questions such as "Are you in the justice league!" or "Are you a sidekick of any the major heroes" which every question that was asked Cap answered as long as it wasn''t personal "Sir my name is Cat Grant of the GBS news can you tell us you are.". "My name is Captain America," Cap said honestly, to him this wasn''t that big of a deal but apparently it''s was to reporters as they began to swarm with more him questions. But before he could answer any of them loud screams and cries could be heard catching his attention, near a burning build in could be seen multiple firefighters trying to rush in and a woman crying while being held back, that''s when Cap looked up at a window and saw a kid and teenager banging on the window. Without another thought, Cap shot his grapple at the building before launching himself off the ground Cap then used his shield to block as he smashed through the window landing in the next apartment that was filled with flames. "ANYONE HERE," Cap yelled as he began walking through the flames but couldn''t see anything as the dark smoke clouded the air. "HELP!!" A teen girl and a kid screamed that was all Cap needed as he began following the voices. Finally finding the apartment where the voices were coming from Cap saw a girl with pure white a hair and a boy who seemed about 10 years old who were banging on the window. "HEY!!" Cap yelled catching the attention of both of them, they quickly rushed over towards Cap but that''s when a large wooden pillar fell from the ceiling, quickly noticing this Cap rushed over and grabbed both of them while raising the shield over their heads protecting both of them. "Are guys okay?"Cap asked which the teen just gave a nod while covering her face with her arm while the kid just held onto Cap without saying a word, using his strength he lifted the pillar with ease before tossing it aside "Okay to the window we need to get you guys out of here." Find authorized novels in Webnovel£¬faster updates, better experience£¬Please click www.novelhall.com for visiting. Cap then slowly walked over to the window with the two of them but once he got close he realised that the window was in fact broken so it couldn''t open, seeing the fire getting worse Cap used his strength to forcefully open the window. As the teenage girl goes through the window Caps instinct took over as he grabbed both the 10-year-old boy and the teenager and jumped out of the way as part of the roof fell where they once stood. ''I don''t have time to look for another way out'' Cap then threw three minidiscs at the flaming rubble, after few seconds it all turned to ice before a small explosion destroyed the rubble and the wall making a new exit ''probably not the safest way in a building that''s on fire.'' "Hold onto me," Cap told both of them which they happily complied, seeing them holding onto him, Cap, then jumped out of the building and landed on his feet as if he was jumping off a small box. "Cisco! Dawn!" a woman cried out as she saw Cap with the two, they quickly rushed over to the panicking woman. "We''re fine Mrs Ramon he-" Dawn then turned around to find that Cap had disappeared ''where did he go?''. She thought but soon smiled before turning her attention back to Ciscos mother. ... Washington, D.C...the loft...August 12th. finally arriving home at night exhausted Cap fell onto his sofa "Well today was productive" meanwhile his Tv was on, showing GBS news talking about him. "Sir you have a call." Jarvis announced but Caps still stayed on the sofa. "Tell them to call back later" Cap groaned, as he got up and went towards the kitchen and started going through his refrigerator. "Sir...it''s Batman he said it''s urgent," Jarvis said with concern but Cap didn''t look worried as he began making a sandwich. "Okay, patch him through" when he said this a screen showed up showing Batman glaring. "I heard about your extracurricular activities today," Batman said as he had a judgemental look on his face "Do you know how much damage you caused." "Well to be fair it was already burning down so-" Cap was soon cut off by an angry Batman. "this isn''t a game!" Although there was anger in his voice Cap didn''t show any fear towards Batman "What if someone got hurt it or the build came down from stability that would''ve been on you." Batman went on for a few minutes drilling everything Cap had done wrong without him saying anything in his defence. "But overall the issues good job," when he said this Cap eyes widened in surprise it wasn''t every day Batman praises someone "You handled the situation adequately considering the circumstances." "Thanks..." Cap honestly didn''t know what to say. "Lastly I need to speak to you about school." when Batman said this Cap''s eyebrow raised in confusion. "You do know it''s pointless and a waste of time." Cap didn''t have school on his mind, in fact, not once did he think it was necessary after all why would the smartest person in the world if not the universe need to go "I rather spend my time working." "You are still a teenager, school is necessary no matter how smart you are." Batman said as he glared it was obvious Cap didn''t have a choice "this debate is now closed." the screen then disappeared leaving Cap to sigh as he now had to think about the situation he was in ''So now I gotta go school...great..''. After finishing his food, Cap walked to a table and placed his had on it as a large hologram display of blueprints popped up "Well time start working." "Jarvis let''s start our company with a bang, shall we." he said as a new hologram appeared showing a device of a large scale. "Of course Sir" Jarvis replied. "Oh, Jarvis play my playlist." when Cap said this a grin appeared on his face as Shoot To Thrill by AC/DC went through the apartment. ... August 10th...unknown... In a room, fear was plastered on the faces of many scientists as they saw a man holding a woman in the air by the neck the woman was none other than lady shiva who escaped from the Justice League after the attack on Captain America. "YOU HAD ONE JOB....KILL HIM!!! THATS ALL I SAID!!" the man spoke in rage as he squeezed tighter. "I''m...Sor...Sorry" Lady shiva said as she struggled for air, the man glared at her with cold his blue eyes before sighing then dropping her back to the ground, Shiva then began to take in all the air she could as if she hadn''t breathed in days. The man walked towards a window overlooking the snowy mountains "Well I guess it isn''t all bad, he must be in some serious pain after that." a smile appeared onto his face, he then turned his head to shiva who began shivering as sweat went down her face, one of the most dangerous assassins in the world who could even give Batman a hard time was shivering in fear. "...Leave" without another word Shiva and the scientists left with great speed "sigh~ Can''t find good help these days...soon brother soon," he said as he looked out the window with a smile across his face. ........ A:N A few easter eggs in this chapter, I wrote this a while ago but I had to write multiple drafts to find the right one this cap out better than most idk how I feel about the combat because I can''t write for crap (I think so anyway) so it''s a bit hard so sorry....anyways hope you enjoyed 24 The Heir The Loft ...Morning...August 14th Standing in front of a table where a large hologram of a chemistry compound was displayed, Cap glared as he began to swipe his hand making the Hologram do a 360 "Jarvis, run it for testing down in the lab," Cap said as he went towards the Kitchen. (Lab filled with Androids in Sanctuary) "Yes, sir" Jarvis replied while Cap poured himself a cup of coffee but after a few minutes go by the Hologram went green "It was a success, sir." "Was there really any doubt" Cap quipped as he took a sip from his coffee, he had now just figured out a cure for Diabetes. "Sir you have completed almost fourteen projects in the span of two days" Jarvis stated in a concerned tone "perhaps it''s time for rest." "Well, yea maybe..." Cap replied as began walking back to the table ''has it been two days already?'' in truth Cap was so busy he had forgotten how many days it had been. Upon reaching the table his doorbell rung, confused Cap grabbed his shield that was leaning against a nearby wall "Steve?" a familiar voice called out, immediately knew who it was. As he opened the door Connor was standing there glaring "What are you doing here?" although he had told Connor where he lived Cap still wasn''t expecting him to visit. "What? Can''t I see my own brother?" Connor replied with an irritated expression. "Well to be far your not the most social person..." Cap said only for Connor to get even more irritated but a smile went across Caps face "Don''t make that face, come in!" Cap, then put Connor into a headlock and dragged him inside while messing up his air.

(so much for super strength.) ... Meanwhile...The Batcave...August 14th Infront the of the large Batcomputer, Batman sat back in his chair glaring at the screen that was displaying Camera footage of Captain America fighting Firefly, standing beside him was Alfred who was watching in amazement. "Alfred, what do you make of this," Batman asks catching Alfred by surprise. "Honestly Master Bruce it''s as if I''m watching you...minus the shield that is." Over the years Alfred had seen Bruce fight in many battles against mobsters, psychopaths and major world threats so he was confident in this statement. "Yes, but he could have ended it without announcing himself and created firefight which could''ve put nearby civilians in harm''s way," Bruce stated to Alfred while not taking his eyes off the screen. "Master Bruce are you perhaps considering him?" Alfred asked only to get replied by silence "sigh~I suppose I should make some tea since it obvious you are going to stay down here all day." "Thank you, Alfred" Bruce replied as Alfred walked away. ..... August 14th...The Loft Gym...evening "Arghh" Connor laid on the mat trying to catch his breath "Who trained you? A demon!" Connor then sat up and looked towards a standing Cap who wasn''t even breaking a sweat. "Who was it again that asked for help?" Cap the reached out to help Connor up from the floor. "I asked for tips not help!" Connor said as Cap helped him up "And I''m pretty sure I never asked to get my ass kicked." anger appeared on his face as those words surfaced. "Same thing! and the only reason why you get your ass kicked is because you''re too predictable" Cap said as he went it another stance, following his lead so did Connor who then rushed towards Cap who then tosses him to the ground once again "And you rely on your power more than skill which will cost you if you lose your powers." "Yea yea Canary already told me this." Connor replied irritated as he gets up and throws another punch. "And yet you don''t listen," Cap said as grabs Connors wrist and backhands the side of his ear before flipping him over his shoulder "Game over," Cap said before his fist reaches the face of a downed Connor. "Okay...you win" Connor groaned. Cap then helped him back onto his feet again before walking away "I''m gonna order take out so are you staying?" "No M''gann is making dinner so I should head back," Connor said which Cap just smiled. "Dude just ask her out already." Cap said which caused confusion to appear onto Connor''s face "You could have a date right now but instead you''re hanging out with your older brother." "And? what''s wrong with that, it''s not like should say yes anyways" Connor said which made Cap facepalm himself. "Okay Mr Oblivious, just do you," Cap said as he began walking away laughing which irritated Connor more. 25 About his wishes I was going through the comments from old chapters I notice some people are underestimating his wishes like "Backstory" this wish was something I thought was interesting because he never arrived instantly like think about being on autopilot but not. So he arrived when the world war started and met many people who live in those ages and inspired people such as Commander Steel (Just go with it...) BUT Cap wasn''t aware of anything like being reincarnated nor his Supreme Knowledge. Find authorized novels in Webnovel£¬faster updates, better experience£¬Please click www.novelhall.com for visiting. Speaking of Supreme Knowledge...yea it''s kinda overpowered since it has multiple possibilities like Cap is basically a walking Mobius chair (minus the Interstellar/Teleportation Travel, Life Support, Holograms, Force Fields, Tractor-Beam) like he''s basically a god of knowledge knowing every language, mapping of the universe AND knows both Life Equation and the Anti-life Equation and also every martial art and non existent martial arts. (Like Renewal Taekwondo form GOH) Right now tho Cap hasn''t tapped into it''s potential but might in the future...Honestly, know I think about it maybe I should''ve given him normal genius-level intelligence. And his inventory to put it simply, that''s kinda op too since he basically has unlimited money and unlimited materials that also involved non-existent things as he could even make anything...like cosmic things so now he''s a God Of Forging. So it''s really easy to make him all-powerful and I was at first but I thought "Isn''t that boring?" so I highly doubt I''m gonna do that but I might make an all-powerful hero in a different novel who is called Infinity...yea as in he has the power of the Infinity stones...IDEA!!!! And if I''m missing action like I tend to do it''s either, Having life problems or writer''s block which can be cured by movies and manga but the life problems...im still searching for that cure. What I''m saying is there''s more to Cap then meets the eye... Lastly, before I leave after this explanation which is kinda important and might bring up conversations that I will like to read the next chapter is gonna take a while like 2 days maybe? It''s long so I might need to split it up again, I gotta ask my friend help edit some stuff since he helps a lot with it. Anyways what I wanna say is can people PLEASE write these novel ideas since I already reached 20 novels. 1. Young Justice: God Of Thunder. Btw I made a few chapters of this but I don''t plan on releasing any so take it. 2. Marvel: Son Of Odin. I actually wanted to work on this but I don''t have time sadly ???? this is what I got the main character is from a Realm called Alfheim, the kingdom of enchanted forests, candy vegetation, rivers and springs of wine, and beautiful gardens and home of the light elves. His mother is named Nursi a celestial who meet Odin King of Asgard (Who was married) after a night of love Nursi feel pregnant only for Odin to leave her and his soon to be a child alone with no support of Asgard. Powers I thought of. 1. Transformation into a wolf. 2. Cosmic awareness. 3. Energy manipulation. Their part of a story I hope you make use of it if anyone makes this a novel ill be reading. 3. Marvel: Immortal. Basically, a mutant who has the power of immortality born in the 1700s and hasn''t aged a day of 18 powers include Healing factor, Resurrection, immunity to poisons and diseases. Okay, that''s it, for now, I''m gonna keep some but make use of these ones thank you for reading this kinda pointless chapter but now you see how op both inventory, backstory and Supreme knowledge really are. anyway see you in 2 days. 26 Denial part 1 New Orleans; July 27th; 21:57 CDT Trumpet music plays in the background as an old man walks down the street. Carrying a cane but not using it. He stops before a door on his left. MADAM XANADU the main golden oval sign reads and eye in the centre. Three small square signs with red font read TAROTS READ > LOVED ONES CONTACTED > FATES FORETOLD. He pulls out a golden pocket watch. Looking at the woman on the inside of the cover. He closes it and walks inside. Find authorized novels in Webnovel£¬faster updates, better experience£¬Please click www.novelhall.com for visiting. As he does a woman steps through the bead-guarded doorway. Her skin and hair dark, but her green eyes are accented by the three blue jewels on her forehead. "Bonsoir, monsieur." (Good evening, sir) she greets. "How can Madame Xanadu be of service?" her French accent rather mild. "Ah, there is someone to whom you wish to speak." she stops about the distance of the table to her right apart from the man. "Your wife, Mai non" The man''s hand clenches tightly around the watch. "Yes, my Inza." Xanadu sits down. "Then madam will make contact if fate be kind." The man sighs as he sits down as well. "But he so rarely is." "Ahem." She clears her throat, then holds out her hand. The man reaches into his jacket, pulling out a roll of bills "Oh, of course," he says, placing them in her hand. She slips them down her shirt with no hesitation and closes her eyes. The ball in the centre glows pure white and her hair is blown back, The light above sways and creaks, the table shakes ever so slightly, and the curtains blow with the wind. The man watches as the table rises. Then the candles blow out. "Oh, my darling. How I''ve missed you." Madam Xanadu says, though her voice is slightly higher than her own. Her eyes snap open, glowing white as well. "I''m so lonely here and cold." The man bursts out into laughter. "Th-that''s the best you could do?" Everything clatters to their original places. "Imbecile! You have broken the spell." Xanadu snaps as her eyes open once more. "Your wife is forever lost." "Th-that supposed to be my wife?" he questions mocking. Letting out a single chuckle before he continues. "Heck, my little Spitfire would''ve kicked my can for throwin'' away good money on you." "No refunds for non-believers," Xanadu replies hastily as she stands up out of her chair and crosses her arms. "I think we both know you''re the non-believer, Madame. A wind machine." he gestures widely with his hand to where a wind machine is hidden from sight behind the curtains near the ceiling. "Tire jacks under the table." he lifts the long table cover to show it off, then sits up straight. "A shame, too. You have the perfect aura for the work, and nothing would''ve pleased me more than to be reunited with my bride." he opens his golden pocket watch, looking down at the picture in longing. A hand is placed on the back of the man''s jacket and then on his left lapel. Turning he''s stunned to find Abra Kadabra grabbing him. "You will be with her soon enough," he promises through his thick accent, holding the older man off the ground. He smirks and all the old man can do is looked stunned before they disappear in a flash of blue-white light. Madame Xanadu gasps in shock, finally her flight reflexes kick in and she runs back through her bead blocked doorway. Behind her turned back the cane the old man had glows gold, floating on its own before it too disappears, but in a golden flash. Mount Justice...August 19th "Initiate- Combat Training." the computerized voice says as Kaldur and Superboy slowly work their way from the opposite sides of the circle towards each other. "3." the two begin to circle each other. "2." they''re now maintaining about ten feet of distance from each other. "1." Both charge, Superboy goes in for a right hook punch that Aqualad ducks under, retaliating with a left-right one-two combo. Both of which Superboy blocks, though Kaldur jumps and goes for a hook kick, that Superboy both ducks under and raises his hands for. As Kaldur lands he goes for another right hook that Kaldur dives back into a back handspring, landing in a crouch. Artemis and M''gann watch on. "Kaldur''s uh, nice, don''t you think?" Artemis asks, glancing at M''gann to ensure that she''s the only one listening before she continues. " Handsome. Commanding. You should totally ask him out." "He''s like a big brother to me." she denies light-heartedly. "But you know who would make the cutest couple? You and Wally." she teases, looking over her shoulder at the ginger currently noisily enjoying his burrito. "You''re so full of passion and he''s so full of-uh-of¡­" "It." Artemis finishes with conviction, though their combined laughing afterwards proves that she is mocking him. "Fair enough....then what about Steve?" M''gann asks which Artemis raises her eyebrow in confusion "Well come on! I see how you look at him." Artemis then looks over to Cap who was silently watching the match. Kaldur and Superboy charge each other, with his bigger build Superboy gets his arms on the Atlantean''s shoulder blades, before getting his boot behind Aqualad''s barefoot and throwing him over his shoulder and a good fifteen feet away, on his rear. Aqualad lets out a stunning cry as he feels his feet leave the ground. "Fail > Aqualad." the computerized voice calls out, as his stats appear near the fallen Atlantean''s shoulder. Superboy stands up straighter, brushing off his hands. "Cap taught me that." Red Tornado drops out of a hole in the ceiling. Gaining everyone''s attention. As Superboy helps Kaldur to his feet. "Do you have a mission for us?" Wally asks, speeding in front of Red Tornado. "Mission assignments are the Batman''s responsibility," Tornado responds. "Yeah, Well, the Batman is with the Robin, doing the Dynamic Duo thing in Gotham," Wally responds, tauntingly emulation Tornado''s speech pattern. "but you''re heading somewhere, right?" all of the Team members were slowly moving in. "Hot date or a-a missi¨®n." "If we can be of help..." Kaldur speaks up. Tornado looks the Team over for a moment. Then he turns and calls up the holo screens. "This is Kent Nelson, a friend. He is 106 years old." "Guy doesn''t look a day over ninety," Wally comments in Artemis'' direction, M''gann steps upon his left, immediately drawing the ginger''s attention away from the archer. "And he has been missing for twenty-three days." Tornado continues, either not hearing Wally or ignoring him. "Kent was a charter member of the Justice Society," the image on the holoscreen changes to cover Kent''s face with a golden helmet and his clothes turn royal blue with a gold belt, breastplate, gauntlets, boots and cape the precursor to your mentor''s Justice League." with that Kent''s picture became Doctor Fate''s. "Of course." Kaldur realizes, sounding annoyed with himself. "Nelson was Earth''s Sorcerer Supreme. He was Doctor Fate." "Pfft." Wally snorted. "More like Doctor Fake, guy knows a little advanced science and Dumbledore''s it up to scare the bad guys and impress the babes," he whispers to Artemis but not paying attention Cap slaps him in the back of the head "Dude!". "Wally show some respect," Cap said sternly, Wally didn''t reply as he rubbed his head and paid attention to Tornado. Tornado turns to the Team again. "Kent may just be on one of his¡­ walkabouts, but he is caretaker to the Helmet of Fate." Tornado continues, "The source of the Doctor''s mystic might, and it unwise to leave such power unguarded." "He''s like the great sorcerer-priests and priestesses of Mars, I would be honoured to help find him," M''gann speaks up, everyone pays her attention, knowing that it isn''t often she would bring up her life on their sister planet, Much less her religion. Wally''s hand shoots up instantly. "Me too." Everyone turns in, surprised "So honoured, I can barely stand it." Wally continues, suddenly sounding sheepish as he realizes all attention was focused on him. Behind him, Artemis glares. "Magic rocks." throwing in a Rock and Roll hand gesture. The blonde rolls her eyes and she crosses her arms, but soon Wally quietened down as he felt the glare of Cap piercing him. "Take this, it is the key to the Tower of Fate," Tornado says, offering up an old brass key, Aqualad takes it from his waiting hand. "Okay, we got our mission so let''s move out," Cap called out before walking away, everyone began to spread out. Inside the Bioship, M''gann at the helm, Artemis directly in front of her, Wally and Cap to Artemis'' right, with Kaldur and Superboy on her left. "So, Wally," Artemis begins, an already mocking tone in her words. "when did you realize your honest affinity for sorcery?" "Well, I-I don''t like to brag," Wally stumbles over his words, but his attention is fully out of the corner of his eye right at M''gann. "but, uh before I became Kid Flash, I seriously considered become a wizard myself." seeing that he has M''gann''s attention he puts his hands behind his head and visibly relaxes. Cap and Artemis roll their eyes, while Kaldur looks away from KF. "We''ve reached Tornado''s coordinates, but-" M''gann starts, as she brings the bioship down in the street. Salem...August 19th The bioship is fully camouflaged as it makes its descent. On the right side of the road is an open field, but on the left, there is an old theatre that looks shut down, and a red brick building that with its lights on seemingly has people inside. "Nothing''s there." Superboy finishes. "Take us down," Aqualad commands. Outside the bioship is a mangey orange cat with deep red markings around its body. Though its face has similar black marking and red eyes that seem to observe the hidden bioship before it hops off the box it was on and trot inside the theatre. "Grant us access to the tower, and I promise an end to your suffering." a man''s voice- the same man who was in New Orleans- bargains. "Continue to refuse and-" he cuts himself off as something zaps. Causing another man, who sounds older, to cry out in pain. The cat jumps on a teens lap as he laughs from the front row of the seating. Instantly he begins petting the cat, causing it to purr and meow. His face is pale, his hair is dark and styled in a way that almost seems to give him horns, but his eyes are old and angry. The cat begins to babble at him. "Shush, Teekl!" he reprimands. "I''m watching the show." Upon the stage, tied in ropes and sitting in a chair, panting from pain is Kent Nelson. The same man that was in New Orleans standing before him holding a magic wand. "Enjoy it¡­" Kent begins, though forced to take a breath due to the assumed torture he''s been receiving since New Orleans. "while you can." he finishes. Then looks up with determination in his eyes, knowing he has their attention. "Soon enough, my friends will come to help me." the Hispanic with the long ponytail walks behind his chair, raising his wand as the end sparks blue. Touching it to Kent Nelson''s back to zap him once more. Teekl the cat hisses as the teen stands up. Clapping and shouting. "Encore! Encore!" before laughing in sick joy. The cat meows once more. "What?" he questions, annoyed. The cat hisses then meows once more. Almost as if he understood her his eyes soften. "Oh." 27 Denial part 2 Wally skids to a stop in the middle of the field they parked the bioship next to. "Nothing," he says, looking to Artemis. "This isn''t simple camouflage." The whole team looks to the ginger speedster, but Artemis is smug when she responds. "What do you think, adaptive micro-optoelectronics combined phase shifting?" "Absolutely¡­" Wally starts, but as M''gann appears in his line of sight the slight smile drops from his face. "Not. Clearly mystic powers are at work here." though the way he looks at M''gann is too obvious to be missed as well as his reason for changing his answer. The way his voice nearly cracks doesn''t help his case. Artemis glares, while Superboy and Aqualad look sceptical. Unnoticed behind the teens, the four occupants of the theatre appear. Though Teekl in the boy''s arms and Kent Nelson''s hands are bound. The boy looks rather smugly at the man with the wand. "Hey, Abra Kadabra, are you using adaptive micro-optoelectronics combined with phase shifting?" "Yes." Abra Kadabra begrudgingly responds. Crickets chirp as the Team stares at the open field. Kaldur looks to the key in his hand. "A test of faith." he repeats, looking to the handle on the key where it says ''INSERT''. He walks between Artemis and Superboy. "Stand behind me," he commands. Stepping up so he is more than three steps ahead of the closest team member. Raising the key, it disappears and sounds as though it clicks into a lock. Turning his hand the tumblers thud to the unlocked position. As this happens a massive stone tower comes into sight.

Much to Artemis'' and Wally''s surprise, Though Superboy and Miss M seem rather calm about it. "So a magic key? Wouldnt be easier to find a Cave?" Cap joked which made Artemis give a small grin. The only one who seems to notice the small smile was Miss M who only giggled to herself. Kaldur then pushing the ornate wooden door inwards. The Team following him in without a command. The door slams shut, but the key remains in the door. "Uh, where''d the door go?" Superboy asks, confused and the entire team looks around the blank four walls. Until a gold-tinted projection of Kent Nelson appears. "Greetings." the projection of Kent''s magic power begin to speak. "You have entered with a key, but the Tower does not recognize you. State your purpose and intent." Wally looks back at M''gann before smiling. "We are true believers, here to find Doctor Fate," he said with an overdramatic smile. Kent looks at him sadly, then fades from view Wally''s face falls until he hears the sound of the floor creaking loudly. Looking down just in time to see the whole segment give out from underneath the Team. Dropping all seven of them towards the magma at the bottom. Superboy is falling the fastest but changes his course to get to one of the walls, while M''gann grabs Wally bringing the two of them closer as well. While Artemis pulls out a small crossbow, turning on her back to shoot higher into the rock, then swing to grab Kaldur as both of them plant their feet solidly on the wall. Cap who was still fast approaching the magma quickly pulled out his grapple gun, pointing it upwards he shot causing the line to hit the newly made ceiling above. while he swung forward the watch on his wrist suddenly turned into a metal glove as he grabbed onto the wall making him stop. Superboy claws at the rock. His grip slowing him down, but not stopping him even as he digs the balls of his feet into the rock. Finally, he slows, but not before his feet and ankles fall into the lava. Superboy then pulls his unharmed feet out of the lava. "Those were my favourite boots," he said annoyed. "This Kent better be worth it." Inside the Tower, Kent looks to Kadabra. "The Tower may not appreciate trespassers." Kadabra raises his wand. "Mute." he commands. Choking Kent a collar appears around his neck a red light glowing in the center. Kadabra places his hand on Kent''s shoulder and they all walk forward, the wall dividing to let them in. Stopping at living room when Inza''s portrait hangs over a large fireplace. Kent''s magical projection appears in the center of the rug. "Hello, Kent." he greets. "How unlike you to bring guests to the Tower, especially one with such potent mystic power." Kadabra raises a hand and places it on Kent''s shoulder as the collar speaks for Kent. "My friends come to help me." it''s mechanical and wrung out, but definitely Kent''s voice. Silently the man glares heavily at Kadabra. Kent''s projection smiles and the wall opens once more. Revealing stairs that run in all directions, regardless of gravity. Kadabra smiles smugly, as all three begin up the stairs does the wall close behind them. M''gann and Wally are slowly falling, slowing and speeding up as M''gann power wanes and waxes. "Having trouble¡­ maintaining altitude¡­" she wipes sweat from her brow. "Ugh, I''m so hot." "You sure are." he says not even thinking. "Wally!" Artemis both gasps at and reprimands him. "Hey, inches above sizzling death, I''m entitled to speak my mind!" he snaps back. Kaldur also wipes the sweat off his brow. "My physiology and M''gann''s are susceptible to heat, we must climb out quickly." Cap noticing his teammates were in trouble called out "Red Tornado sent us to see if Kent Nelson and the Helmet were safe!!." the panel slides shut underneath Superboy''s feet, calmly he steps on the panel. Wally falls, landing on his butt while M''gann falls next to him on her knees. Artemis and Kaldur belay down to the panel while Cap backflipped off the wall before landing his feet "Is everyone alright." "Yea we''re fine so far anyways," Superboy informed as he stepped forward. "This platform." Kaldur realizes, touching it with both his hands. "It should be red hot, but it cool to the touch." "Don''t worry Megalicious, I gotcha." Wally says, helping the green girl to her feet. Artemis blows a gasket. "Enough!" she shoved Wally into the wall. "Your little "impress M''gann at all cost" game nearly got us all barbecued." Wally glared at the blonde half Vietnamese before him. "When did this become my fault?" "When you lied to that whatever-it-was and called yourself a true believer." Artemis snaps, Superboy and M''gann looking to the redhead from behind her. "She has a point Wally," Cap spoke up but Kid flash only glared at him in an annoyed frown. Once again all the attention in the room was on Wally. "Wally?" M''gann questions, stunned. "You don''t believe?" Wally glares at Artemis before speaking out in exacerbation. "Fine. Fine! I lied about believing in Magic! But magic''s the real lie, it''s all a major load!" "Wally, I studied for a year at the Conservatory of Sorcery in Atlantis." Kaldur prompts his hand still on the floor. "The Mystic Mages created the skin icons that power my Water-bearers." now he looking at Wally. "Dude, you ever hear of Bioelectricity?" he asks, seeming annoyed, but not demeaning. Then he opens his mouth again, this time set on being sarcastic. "Hey, in primitive cultures, fire was once considered magic too. Today, it''s all a bunch of tricks." "You''re pretty closed minded for a guy who can break the sound barrier in his sneakers." Artemis spoke up. "That''s science." Wally speaks simply. "I recreated the Flash''s experiment, and here I am!" he says with a sarcastic hand gesture of grandeur. "Everything can be explained by science." Kaldur smirks. "Let us test that theory." then grabs an unseen handle. "Wait, the back draft from the lava will roast us alive!" Wally protests, but Kaldur opens it anyway. The door opens, however, with a snow flurry. Accompanied by gusting winds and an expansive tundra-space beyond. "It''s snow!" M''gann cried cheerfully. Artemis looks up at Wally''s angry face with a smirk. "Do you ever get tired of being wrong?" his frown deepens.
