The Watchtower
September 14, 16:35 EDT
Billy Batson found himself in the Watchtower that day, hoping to find some free food from the fridge. After defeating Mister Atom, he decided to reward himself.
Recognized- Booster Gold: Two-Seven, the computer announced.
Captain Marvel looked past the refrigerator to hear Gold's footsteps. He cracked a smile as he shut the fridge and flew to the zeta tube's. He liked Booster Gold. He was the only other guy who wasn't so stoic and serious as the other members of the League. CM made it to the Mission Room, finding Gold in his civvies, looking around to find someone.
"Hey Gold!" CM said gleefully, landing in front of him.
"Hiya Cap'n. Can I ask you a question?" He asked, fiddling with his fingers.
Captain Marvel arched an eyebrow. This was so unlike Gold, to be nervous and somewhat wary.
"Uh...sure?"
"Blue Beetle...know where he is?"
He blinked, slightly confused. "Err, why? Is he in trouble?"
Next thing the disguised teenager knew, he was roughly grabbed, Gold's face near his eye.
"Just tell me! She'll be here any-"
Access Granted-
"Shit!" Gold cursed, letting go of Captain Marvel and pushing buttons on the panel.
CM's blue eyes glanced at the zeta-tube, seeing the silhouette of a teenager forming.
Authorization- Booster Gold: Two-Seven
"No! You stupid computer! I didn't let anyone in!" He continued to hiss, finally giving up.
The transporting completed as the teenager stepped off the zeta-tube. She ran a hand through her tousled brown hair as she exhaled.
"Never going through that again," she muttered.
Billy only blinked, now even more confused than usual. "Uh, who are you? How did you get in here without Gold even touching the panel?" He asked, the questions flying out of his mouth.
The girl's calculating blue eyes were on him now, making Billy feel like he was in his teenage form.
"You, where's Blue Beetle?" She asked, walking up to the caped hero.
Okay, Billy. A pretty girl just asked you something that a man just asked you. This will be easy to answer. Say something intelligent...or actually tell her where he is.
The girl was arching her brow, waiting for him to reply.
Billy! Answer she probably thinks you're crazy!
"Hi," he finally managed to say, causing the girl's lip to curl up.
Gold stepped up, whirling the girl to face him. "How did you get in here? I told you to wait for me near the zeta-tube."
"Sorry. Got kinda bored waiting, plus, it was easy to hack in and get your designation number to let me in," the girl replied, giving a little shrug, "Now, Billy, will you tell me where Blue Beetle is?"
Billy only blinked again. "How do you know my name? Who are you?!"
The girl blinked, her nose scrunching in realization. "Oh, I forgot to introduce myself. Calla Kord, pleased to meet you."
"Kord? As in Ted Kord?"
Calla nodded. "Where's Blue Beetle?" She asked again.
"Over at Happy Harbor at Mt. Justice."
Gold's mouth gaped open, his arms shooting from Captain Marvel to the girl. "Really?! Why didn't you tell me that?!"
He only shrugged as Calla made her way back to the zeta-tubes, pressing a few buttons as the computer scanned her. She smiled in satisfaction, glancing back at the men.
"Nice chatting with you. See ya!"
Recognized- Calla Kord: A-One-Four
And she was gone. Gold frowned as he punched CM's muscular arm. It was Billy's turn to frown as he looked at the man.
"What was that for?!"
"Why didn't you tell me?!"
"I don't even know what's going on!" He retorted.
Gold only muttered to himself as he made his way to the zeta-tube.
A/N: This is just an idea that's been swarming in my head these past few days. May or may not continue this, but if I do, it will have to be after I complete Somewhere a Clock is Ticking. Anyway, hope you guys enjoyed this brief premise and stay tuned for the possibilities of this story.
