Young Justice: Crysis

1: Independence Day Blockbuster

"C'mon, wake up" I hear someone say as a hand slapped my face. My head jerks a little while my eyes strain to open. I struggle to consciousness as a loud explosion is heard, the ground shaking. Plaster fell on me from above. Another slap jerked me awake. I look up to see a vauge someone in front of me.

"Finally! I NEed you to get up" came a distorted voice, while other explosions and an animal roar could be heard. Red hexagonal images, with moving double helixes flashed in front of my eyes. I try to say something, as I struggle to my feet. Whoever it is, grabs my right arm and pulls it over their shoulder. I manage a stumble walk, while the corridor in front of me starts varying from a white brightness, to a pitch black. It then shifts to a weird black and white, then white and black, then dissolving into a psychedelic mess. The explosions, yelling and roars increased in volume, the pitch fluctuating, giving me a headache.

I felt whoever it was who had been carrying me, lean me against a wall.

"TheY NeeD my hELp" came the voice again, the distortion reducing a bit, sounding somewhat feminine.

My vision seemed to cycle through what felt like vision modes, until it finally clears.

I looked to see five teenagers fighting against a eight foot tall grey skinned monstrosity, and having a hard time containing it. While one in red-green and black spandex was throwing boomerangs, another was using some kind of fluid whip and blue sword. A third in an all white onesie was trying to out punch it while a girl in red armour with wings was flying around it, slamming punches with her gauntleted fists. A yellow-red blur was zipping around it.

As I struggled to stand straight, a mechanical voice is heard.

NANOSUIT ACTIVATED.

I looked down on myself, to see a black and grey armour covering my body, mimicking it.

Looking up, a HUD popped into existence, marking out all six combatants. As I watched, the yellow blur met an open grey palm, smashing into it and ricocheting off of it. A fist tossed away the spandex wearer and the white onesie. A kick knocked away the sword-whip boy. A hand snatched the winged girl out of the air, and while she was struggling and screeching like an eagle in pain, began reaching to her wings, a sinister smile on its face.

"HEY!" I yelled, my voice magnified and distorted by the armour. Immediately the grey goliath looks at me, as I shift into a stance, guard up. The monster looked between me and the eagle girl, an evil intelligence in its eyes. Quick as a flash, it threw the girl at me. Knowing this was a feint, I ducked under the girl, wincing on hearing the cracks occuring and her pain filled moan, and was ready for the follow up as the monster was upon me with a sucker punch. Ready for it, I ducked under the blow, using my left hand to deflect it away from me, while using my right arm to guide it away from me. The monster over extended, loosing balance and slamming into the wall, well away from eagle girl.

MAXIMUM POWER. PROVIDES A TEMPORARY STRENGTH BOOST, ALLOWING WEARER TO LIFT OBJECTS OF UPTO 3 TONS.

An evil grin crosses my face as I select the option. Immediately, I feel strength surge through my muscles. Grabbing the monster's wrist, I yank it and start twirling it around like a hammer in a hammer throw and when I'm at the maximum, let it go. The creature lets out a high pitched screech as it flew through a wall, spinning on its axis.

MAXIMUM SPEED. PROVIDES A TEMPORARY SPEED BOOST, ALLOWING WEARER TO RUN AT 100 KILOMETERES PER HOUR.

I select it and run. The world blurred around me as I ran towards my target, which was struggling to get to its feet. I was onto it within seconds, using the momentum to smash a shoulder into its head. With a groan, the monster fell to the ground, not even stirring.

A rushing sound comes behind me, causing me to turn around, ready for the next attack. A red-headed teenager wearing goggles and a yellow body suit with a red lightning bolt stood 5 feet from me, his hands up in a calming gesture.

"WOAHdudethatwassoamazinghowdjadoititwasbeatingusupevenSupeycouldntgetahitin..." he said, his words a bit of a blur.

"Easy there KF, let the guy understand whatcha sayin'!" said leotard boy, smacking yellowsuit, now known as KF...

Images and newsflashes play out while the three discuss what happened and how much trouble they were in for disobeying orders.

The only two who weren't identified were the tall kid in the onesie and the eagle girl he was carrying in his arms. Putting two and two together, I walked up to onesie and took eagle girl in my arms. She moaned in pain but was still unconscious.

PROXIMITY ALERT.

I whipped my head around to see the sky crowded with arrivals.

THE JUSTICE LEAGUE.

-S-

I successfully argued (once I figured out how to make myself heard, damn speakers), that the girl had saved my life and I was obligated to watch over her.

So now here I was, in an interrogation chamber within the Watchtower, waiting for my interrogators, while having been bound hand and foot with cuffs and an inhibition collar on my neck.

The door slid open and three figures walked in.

SUPERMAN. MAN OF STEEL. ULTRADURABLE AND USES A VARIATION OF PSIONICS FOR FLIGHT, RADIATION GENERATION AND SUPER STRENGTH.

BATMAN. DARK ANGEL OF GOTHAM. EXPERT MARKSMAN, HAND-TO-HAND SPECIALIST, DETECTIVE AND TACTICIAN.

WONDER WOMAN. PRINCESS OF THEMYSCIRA. EXPERT HAND-TO-HAND SPECIALIST AND HAS MYSTIC POWERS.

"Wonder Woman. Rope him" Batman growled. A glowing golden rope was tied around me. I immediately felt the compulsion to tell the truth wash over me. Before Batman began, I spouted off.

"Why are you wearing a swimsuit?" I ask, my voice completely matter-of-fact. That startles them.

"Excuse me?" Wonder Woman says, completely flummoxed.

"I mean, you're from a warrior race, so why the swim suit? Wouldn't full body armour be a better option? Or is it a cultural thing?" I ask, leaving her a little flustered and off-balance. Batman smoothly interrupts her reply.

"That's not important, no matter how fascinating. What's important is who are you?mAnd are you a threat?" he asked, somehow narrowing his eyes as Superman crossed his arms, looking grim. Or constipated. Not sure which.

The onboard voice suggests me my codename:

"Call me...Nomad"
