When a new superhero by the name of Renegade is assigned to help the team out with a mission it sparks something much bigger. Conner who is tired of not having a mentor or father figure to look up to begins to slowly see Renegade as one. But with a dangerous past can Renegade really be the father Conner needs? Will Conner end up gaining what he desires most only to lose it? Follow this unlikely duo as they begin to create an even more unlikely bond and more on Conner's creation is brought to light bringing about a secret that will make Conner question everything hes ever known.
Conner sat on the couch watching static as usual. They were currently waiting for Batman on the details of their newest mission. Apparently some illegal drugs were being transported to an unknown location. Supposedly a new villain by the name of the Black Knight was running the operation, which apparently required the assistance of a new hero by the name of Renegade. So here he sat while the rest of his team was constantly bickering about what kind of person this Renegade was and why Bats thought they needed a babysitter.
"Maybe it's because the Black Knights really Renegade's long lost brother who got taken over by an Artificial Intelligence?" Wally offered only to receive a loud snort from Artemis in return. "Ya right, an Artificial Intelligence taking over someone's body? That's not even possible Kid Doofus." Artemis shot at the speedster. "HEY! It is to possible!" Wally defended heatedly. "Well whatever the reason is, it must be pretty big if Batman is allowing a relatively unknown hero to accompany us." Robin spoke voicing his thoughts.
"Robin is right. It does not matter what this Renegade's reason is for accompanying us, what does matter is the reason that Batman is allowing him to." Kaldur spoke calmly to his teammates. "I wonder why kind of person Renegade is. I mean Batman didn't really tell us much more than the fact he somehow forced himself onto this mission." Megan inquired thoughtfully. Conner grunted at his girlfriends comment.
"It doesn't matter why he's coming or what type of person he is. All that matters is the fact that Batman still thinks we need a babysitter after all this time." Conner commented gruffly. "I don't know about that Con, Batman didn't seem to happy, when he said Renegade was accompanying us." Robin replied to the boy of steel's comment.
Recognized B-01 Batman
Recognized Z-01 Renegade
The zeta-beams alert caught everyones attention. "Z-01? I thought we were still on the D's." Artemis stated in disbelief. "We are, in fact the zeta should've registered him to D-09 seeing as how that's latest available number." Robin replied as Batman walked into the living room with a man by his side. The man was wearing what looked to be a pure black suit with dark red lines spreading out throughout his limbs. The red lines seemed to cross at random points on his suit and they were all connected. He stood a good six feet and seven inches tall and his body type resembled that of Batman only he seemed to have more compact muscles.
His mask like the rest of his suit was pitch black with a red line running up the front of his throat stopping just short of his strong jaw. His mask covered his whole face and was pitch black to match the rest of his costume with two dark lenses where his eyes would be. His feet seemed to be slightly bulkier than the rest of his costume but for some strange reason was still connected to his suit.
"Team." Batman said nodding to them. "This is Renegade and he will be assisting you, with your current mission." Batman said stoically. He had a deeper scowl on his face further indicating that he really didn't want to send him with them but for some reason was. The red lenses narrowed as Renegade looked over every member of the team thoroughly. Conner narrowed his eyes at the man who seemed to be inspecting his team.
Kaldur was the first to approach the new hero. He held out his hand and smiled at him. "It is a pleasure to be working with you. I am Aqualad the team's leader." He spoke confidently. Renegade observed Kaldur's out stretched hand and after a brief moment seemed to smile. He took Kaldur's hand with a firm grip. "It is a pleasure Aqualad but don't think of this as us working together." Renegade said in a machine like voice.
Kaldur raised his eyebrow waiting for Renegade to continue. "Think of it as having insurance in case the Black Knight shows up. Other then that I am at your orders." Renegade said politely. "At my orders?" Kaldur asked as he let go of the hero's hand. "Yes, as you have state you are the teams leader. Seeing as how I am accompanying you on this mission, I am yours to command." Renegade explained standing tall. "Well unless the Black Knight shows up. Then no matter what you say, yours and your teams safety will come first." Renegade added as an afterthought.
"Is the Black Knight really that dangerous?" Conner asked still glaring at the hero. Renegade chuckled at the comment but nodded never the less. "Yes he is actually. I've been fighting him for the last year and a half or so and let me tell you, there hasn't been one time I haven't come out of it nearly dead." Renegade answered honestly.
"He's that good?" Artemis asked slightly in awe. "That or you just suck." Conner added rather irritated. "Regardless if he is that good if I really do just suck, the Black Knight is a lethal opponent who won't hesitate to kill you. Hell, that's exactly what he aims for." Renegade said his mask in the shape of a smile of sorts. "What information can you give us on the Black Knight? Robin asked as the hero's smiled faded almost instantly.
"He's basically an android whose only goals are to survive and kill. The last one he hasn't been able to do so because I always stop him before he gets to that point. In battle, he analyzes the surrounding, every situation and every possible outcome in the matter of nanoseconds before deciding a course of actions. He's also basically a human armory with the ability to replicate any weapon it touches at any given moment in time." Renegade explained causing nearly everyone's face to drop, with the exceptions of Robin, Batman and Conner.
"How do you beat someone like that?" Megan asked her eyes inexplicably huge. "You make it so there is no way for him to win. You eliminate every scenario where he could win." Renegade said crossing his arms over his chest. "Is that even possible?" Artemis asked still shocked. "Well I'm still alive and kicking so ya, it is. Not easy, but it's definitely possible." Renegade spoke stoically.
Alright everyone chapter ones done. Don't worry next chapter will start the actual Father/Son moments. This chapter was really just to introduce Renegade and his villain the infamous Black Knight. But let me ask you guys a question because I am curious to see what you guys think. Is it really possible to eliminate every possible outcome of someone winning? If it is then how smart would you have to be to do it? If it's not possible give me a short explanation about why you think it isn't. Alright next chapter Renegade and Superboy's first Father/Son moment. Catch ya later, maybe xD Ja Ne
