Superboy has tactile telekinesis which means he can fly and use heat vision, he also has superspeed.
…Mount Justice
Batgirl and Cassie were wearing their workout gear, sparring on a mat in the gym. Conner and Dick on the other side of the room, Conner benching weights with Dick as his spot. He was wearing no shirt and had an inhibitor collar around his neck blocking his super strength, an idea Dick had to help with his training.
"Wanna go again?" Batgirl asks Cassie as she wipes the sweat off her face, Cassie doesn't hear her, her eyes fixed on Superboy. "Hello?" Batgirl waves her hand on front of Cassie's eyes.
"Oh… sorry, what were you saying?" Cassie asks.
"You like him, don't you?"
"No. besides, even if I did he still likes M'gann" Cassie complains, glancing at Superboy again, but this time looking away before he or Dick could notice.
"You totally like him, you should ask him out" Batgirl suggests.
"I can't he still likes M'gann" says a disappointed Cassie.
"If he still likes her then why did he break up with her?"
"Still… he barely knows me."
"All the more reason to ask him out, or at least talk to him rather than watching him from the other side of a room." Batgirl tosses Cassie some gloves and they both position themselves ready to spar.
Batgirl jumps as Cassie goes to kick her, spinning in the air Batgirl kicks Cassie knocking her back. She then drops to the ground and knocks Cassie off her feet.
Both Conner and Dick wince as they hear the sound of Cassie hitting the ground. "Damn, they don't mess around" Dick comments as they both continue to watch the fight.
Cassie gets up and they both continue to fight, Batgirl having the advantage, using her skills to use Cassie's own strength against her. Batgirl grabs Cassie's hand as she tries to punch her, then pushes against one leg and flips her through the air, however, Cassie positions herself so that she lands safely and then spins gripping tightly to Batgirl, then tossing her across the mat.
"No kidding, even we hold back more than this when we're working out." Conner adds as they hear another harsh thud.
"This is like our actual combat training" Dick folds his arms, and using one hand helps Conner lift the weights to rest so they could watch more easily.
…
The fight ends with Cassie on her back, Batgirl standing over her. "Give up" Batgirl says teasing her slightly. "Here-!" she holds out her hand to help Cassie to her feet, but Cassie grabs her hand and wraps her legs around Batgirl's arm bringing her to the ground pinning her down.
"How bout you give up" Cassie grins as Batgirl struggles a little to break free.
"Hah ha-!" Dick laughs, unable to control himself. Conner elbows him in the side to stop him. Batgirl glares at them both. Cassie blushes slightly when she notices that Conner was watching her fight.
"What're you laughing at?" Batgirl approaches Dick, prodding his chest as she looks for an answer.
"Nothing, it's just that's the same move you used on me one of the first times we met, it's kinda funny seeing it from a different perspective" Dick chuckles a little.
"You remember that?"
Before he could respond, Batman's voice came through the com system in the cave. "Team report to briefing room. Now."
…Briefing Room
Everyone arrived in the briefing room, dressed in their mission gear. Batman and Superman were waiting for them to arrive. Some of the team was already there when Conner, Cassie, Dick and Batgirl arrived while Beast Boy and Blue Beetle arrived after.
"Good, you're all here. Thanks to Miss Martian we were able to discover the location of a Krolotean base on Malina island. Both the team and the league will attack this base simultaneously. We leave in twenty minutes." Batman left when he was finished, the team departed, each going separate ways in groups to get transport.
"Wait a minute Superboy!" Superman asked, walking toward him.
"What is it Kal?" Conner asked.
"I have something for you" he hands Conner a box, the team looks at it curious. "I know you don't like wearing them but I thought-"
"Kal stop, I get it okay and I'll definitely wear it" he says looking into the box, but not lifting the lid enough for anyone else to see.
"Good, good… I'm glad you like it, I never really know how to shop for you" Superman laughs. "Come on, we'll fly to the island together."
"Sounds good."
…Malina Island
The Bio-Ship was flying close to the surface of the water, Batman on display "Our mission is to infiltrate the Krolotean base and learn more about them before handing them over to the Green Lantern Corps." The team nodded, and a portion of the ship opened, both Aquaman and Lagoon Boy jumped into the water.
They swam to the island and make their way to the main gate at the underwater level. Both grabbing hold of the door they pull in unison, opening it up just enough to slip inside.
Batman, Nightwing, Batgirl and Robin are dropped off another area of the island with another entrance. Nightwing lands first on top of a guard then using his Eskrima he knocks another two out before the others land and take out the other four.
The Kroloteans were all busy working, running tests and monitoring the Zeta-pads, until suddenly more Kroloteans teleported in, one of them complaining but about what it was impossible to tell because of their strange language. "If only Blue was here, he could translate what they are saying" Robin said as he looked down at the Kroloteans.
Suddenly an energy blast knocks Robin over the edge of the railing and into a crowd of Kroloteans. "Robin!" Batgirl calls out, turning to see who fired the blast.
Nightwing rushes forward sweeping at Kaldur's legs, but Kaldur steps out of the way and fires at Nightwing. Batman and the other two rushed to attack Kaldur's men who had arrived at the top of a flight of steps several metres away from the fight.
Kaldur and Nightwing continued to fight while Batman, Batgirl and Robin engaged a group of Kroloteans that were running toward an alarm.
Nightwing and Kaldur's fight continues, moving toward the centre of the walkway when Lagoon boy spots Kaldur, overcome by anger he gets up from the spot he was hiding in and is spotted by a Krolotean. An alarm sounds and dozens of mechs emerge attacking both groups of hero.
"Batman! We need to call the others!" Robin yells as he kicks one of Kaldur's men into a wall using that kick to propel himself onto one of the mechs. He leaves a charge on the mech and jumps off.
Kaldur'ahm in the chaos calls for his men to retreat. They slowly back toward Manta-flyer Nightwing pursuing them, but when he notices he presses his earpiece "Delta squad, Aqualad is trying to retreat, we need back up."
Wonder Woman and Wonder Girl burst through the wall, each destroying several mechs. Superman and Superboy land behind Kaldur, Superboy smacking him into the wall and then fights with several of his men. Superman punched the ground and then destroying several mechs throws several of the pieces at the Zeta-platforms destroying some of them to prevent the Kroloteans from escaping.
"Superboy!" Superman yells as he watches Superboy get thrown across the room into one of the mechs.
While the fight raged on two Kroloteans ran to the main console and accessed the computer, putting a strange device in the console they downloaded some schematics and left via one of the Zeta-platforms. Batman wasn't fast enough to stop them and the Batarang he threw hit the platform just as they disappeared.
"Superman, a triple combo over here!" Superboy ran toward Superman, who grabbed his hand and swung him at a group of mechs, he took out four, jumping from one to the other tearing out the main power source of each one.
Aquaman knocks off Kaldur's helmet and reveals his face to the team who were sceptical that it was really him "look at this, a reunion of old teammates" Kaldur smiles cruelly.
"Why? Kaldur'ahm why did you betray us?" Aquaman looked both shocked and disappointed, but Lagoon Boy was overcome by range, using his power to transform and charge at Kaldur but Kaldur easily dodges and Lagoon Boy slams into a massive metal plate putting a massive dent in it and getting his arm stuck momentarily.
Kaldur slips into a tube going down to a lower level where the Manta-flyer was, he moved toward it but stopped when Nightwing throws a Batarang in front of him. "Aqualad stop!"
"I think I've outgrown that name, don't you?" Kaldur retorted, slightly irritated. "My allegiance belongs to my father now."
"What about Aquaman?"
"You mean the man that lied to me about the true identity of my father, I share no allegiance to that man. Blood is thicker than sea water" he took out his weapons and created two blades of water, ready to fight, but hesitated when Superboy slid down the tube he came from and crack3ed his knuckles ready to fight.
"Superboy, welcome, now all we need is M'gann and Wally and we can have a reunion of the original team" he sneered at Superboy, changing his stance so that he could see them both and had a sword pointed at each of them as well.
"You betrayed us!" Superboy yelled angrily.
"You all let Tula die!" he yells angrily.
A small launcher rises from Kaldur's back, launching an explosive at Nightwing, forcing Superboy to shield him from the blast and giving Kaldur the chance to climb into the Manta-flyer leaving behind an alien bomb.
"Everyone needs to get out! Now!" Nightwing yells into his com, "Kaldur left behind a bomb and we can't read the timer, we need to retreat now."
"I'll get him!" Wonder Girl shot into the water and flying through it she held her breath and tried to catch the Manta-flyer.
"Negative Wonder Girl! Retreat back to the Bio-ship" Nightwing ordered her.
Under twenty seconds later everyone had made it out of the island, all except Superman. "Where is he?" Superboy asked. He was floating above the island several dozen metres from the Bio-ship.
"Probably trying to convince the Kroloteans to leave" Nightwing responds over the coms.
The bomb exploded, and a massive shockwave was sent rippling across the water, Superman assumed to still be inside. There was a large ball of fire at the centre of the explosion which eradiated a massive amount of heat. The clouds in the sky parted along with the shockwave.
Superman was thrown from the explosion, sent into the air, trailing smoke. He was moving so fast that no one was able to react fast enough, but Superboy chased after him desperately, flying slightly lower.
Superboy caught Superman before he hit the water, then took him to the Bio-ship.
…Mount Justice
Everyone entered the cave, depressed now with the knowledge of Aqualad being on the side of their enemy cemented. Superboy punched the wall and then went to his room, Cassie noticing ran after him.
Knock
"Come in" Superboy said anger clearly present in his voice.
Cassie walked in, still wearing her uniform. "Are you okay?" she asked, slightly embarrassed to be in his room.
"Yeah" she knew immediately that he was lying. She gave him a look then sat next to him. "It just hurts, he was one of the first people to ever believe in me, believe that I was more than just a clone. The fact he found it so easy to betray us hurts… I… I didn't want to believe it."
She put her hand on his shoulder and the two of them stared into one another's eyes, she was fixated by the light blue pools that were his eyes, then she felt heat begin to build in her cheeks as they became flushed.
"Hey Cassie, are you okay?" he asked.
"Uh… yeah why?"
"Because your heart, it's racing" he leaned in closer and her heart sped up even more.
"It's uh… nothing."
He then realised that the closer he got the faster her heart raced. "Wait a second, do you… like me?" he asked, making her whole face go red.
"No-I mean yes, kinda... do you like me-" she stuttered, but was surprised when Conner leant forward and kissed her. Still stunned he pulled away.
"Sorry. I thought that-" she leant forward interrupting him with a kiss which he returned gladly. He put one hand on her back and the other on her hip, she put both her arms around his neck as she deepened the kiss. Moving his other hand from her back to her other hip and pushed her onto the bed.
The two continued to kiss, only breaking to breathe. Continuing to make out eventually they parted. "Well that was…" Cassie said as they were lying next to each other.
"Awesome" Conner said looking up at the ceiling.
"Yeah" she smiled and turned over resting her head on Conner's chest. "Does this mean that we're…" she asks hesitantly, looking at him.
"Do you want to be?" he asks looking at her.
"Yeah, do you?"
"Of course," she smiled, and they kissed again, this time she gets on top but after only a few seconds she breaks away. "But I don't think we should tell everyone, not yet anyway."
"Why not?" he asks but it was obvious in the way he asked it that he wanted the same thing.
"It might sound stupid, but I just want it to be ours, if everyone finds out everyone'll be watching us, and I don't want that." He laughed a little. "What?"
"You're so cute" she blushed, and he kissed her head.
This is the first time I've written a fanfic so I'd appreciate any review.
