DISCLAIMER (only time I'll post this): I don't own Young Justice nor Batman. both are properties of DC comics.
A/N: S'up everyone? Doing a sort of batman/young Justice (moreso young justice kind of thing) with this story. It's part of a collab I'm doing with Sedaiv (check his story 'Young Justice Reborn' at this link: s/12294565/1/Young-Justice-Reborn), andI hope it all goes well. Enjoy =)
It was a quiet night in Metropolis. Crime was down, and hardly anyone was filling up the streets. The perfect time for a robbery. Which is exactly what was happening at the headquarters of LexCorp. Two teenage boys dressed all in black, had managed to sneak in and take out one of the guards at the front, stealing his ID card, tying said guard up and locking him in a closet.
Teen#1: Think this will be enough to get access to what we're going for?
Teen#2: Not a chance JT. If I know Lex Luthor well enough, what we're going for is going to be top secured.
JT: Thought so. I don't think this will be enough Sting.
Sting: It will have to be.
The two teens, now identified as JT and Sting, went back to the front hall. Sting went behind the security desk, as a silver scorpion crawled towards him.
Sting: How's it looking Sozin?
Sting held his hand down, for the scorpion to climb on. The mechanical scorpion even sighed.
Sozin: Good and bad news. Bad news, I have yet to find out where the item is. Good news, I located which floor the main security room is. Also managed to shut off all video feed and disabled all alarms. That should buy you guys more time.
JT: Excellent. Which floor?
Sozin: Tenth.
The two boys then quickly made their way to the stairwell. JT pointed out the elevators. Sting shrugged and they pressed one. One soon came, but it was a guard in there.
Guard: What the?
Sting quickly punched the guy, before grabbing him by the neck, and dragged him out. He then stole the gun the guard had. Both boys went into the elevator and pressed tenth floor.
JT: Better not get stopped.
Sozin: If you keep this up, Murphy's law will come into effect.
JT: Shut it you stupid bug!
Sozin: For your information, Mr Jason Todd...You would be lost without me, having to go and check every single floor. So I suggest that you shut up.
Sting: That's enough you two.
Sozin crawled up Sting's arm. Sting pulled up his sleeves, to reveal two mechanical gauntlets, making his hands look bigger. He then opened up them both, to check the liquids inside the vials that were there.
JT: What are those?
Sting: Insurance JT. Insurance.
Sting closed them up, as they arrived. They checked the corridors, as Sozin hopped off, and turned into a thin wheel, and began to move. The boys followed suite, with Jason looking out. Eventually they found the room. They used the ID card, and opened up the door. The saw two guards in there, but it looked like they were sleeping. Sting tapped both index fingers, before sneaking up and pricked both men in the necks. There was a grunt from each of them, but nothing else.
JT: Tranquilizers?
Sting: Yeah. Had these bad boys designed specifically to inject at the fingertips.
Sting picked up Sozin and placed him infront of a computer screen. He unfurled into his scorpion form. The tail tip popped behind to reveal a USB stick feature, as Sozin pressed his tail into a port. He then quickly went through everything.
Sozin: Shutting down all forms of security...now!
All the display monitors went blank, except for the one Sozin wanted to remain on.
Sozin: Here we go. Everything we need. Locating now.
JT: What is it we're looking for?
Sting: Kryptonite. More specifically Silver Kryptonite.
JT: Silver Kryptonite? I didn't know there was one silver colored.
Sting: Knowledge from former boss?
JT: Yeah. Batman kept a piece of Kryptonite hidden in case he needed to use it. Just green, but he kept notes and theorized about effects of other types. This one I'm sure there was nothing on.
Jason sighed, somberly remembering his time when he was the second robin.
Sting: Reminisce later. We got the location now.
Sozin put the location up on screen. It showed it was in a sub basement level. Jason muttered a few curse words under his breath.
Sozin: It appears the only way to get to the Silver Kryptonite, is by accessing a special elevator in the penthouse suite at the top floor.
Sting: That's another thirty up then taking that all the way down? Dammit! That will take far to long.
JT: Here. Use this.
Jason took from his belt, a grappling gun. He handed it over to Sting.
JT: You'll have to go outside and rappel upwards. But with any luck, you'll get there sooner than later.
Sting: What about you?
JT: I'll stay behind. I'm sure there might be more guards to eventually show up, so I'll make sure to keep things clear here. Sozin will need it.
Sozin: Normally I'd argue the point, but to keep assisting properly, I will need help.
Sting nodded, and pressed something on the side of his helmet.
Sting: Alright. Direct me from here then. I got communications all set up.
Sting left the security room, and looked around the windows, looking for a balcony. Instead he fond just a couple floor below, a window washer lift. He sighed though, as he was forced to break the window. He did so by hitting a chair against it repeatedly. The alarm sounded for only a second, but was shutoff. He then jumped down, landing on the lift. He then pulled a lever to make it go upwards.
Sozin: You ad to do that, didn't ya boss?
Sting: Window washer lift was found. Taking the opportunity. Hopefully it goes all the way up.
Sting then pressed a button on the side of his helmet, which raised the mount part up. He then took out a pack of cigarettes. From there, he took out a lighter he stored there, and a cigarette. He lit one up, and began to smoke it.
Sozin: Are you having a smoke?
Sting: Yeah. What of it?
JT: I'm a bit surprised. Won't that like...hamper you a bit.
Sting: Actually it will do the opposite. I'll explain more later. All you need to know, is that well...aside from my own training, I'm not a normal human being.
JT: Oh? A meta?
Sting: Yeah. Poison doesn't harm me. In fact, poison helps me. For example, i'm looking towards a park that's nearby. I can see some of the blades of grass. At least now that I'm having a smoke. Other poisons will have different effects.
JT: You sure that's not some zoom feature on your disguise?
Sting: Nope.
Sting continued his smoke as the lift got further up. It stopped around the 38th floor. He then used the grappling gun to get up. He the flicked his cigarette away, and proceeded to look around.
Sting: No bogeys up here. This is far to easy.
JT: Be glad. Then again, to easy means a trap often.
Sting: I know. Still, we're not going to get anywhere. Sozin. Get ready for alot of hacking.
Sozin: Will do. As for you, the elevator you're looking for is just outside the kitchen.
Sting: Huh. Would have thought it would have been in a study.
Sting looked around as he got in. He saw that there was an elevator door right in the kitchen. He then felt around for the button.
Sting: Blended into the wall. That's smart.
Sozin: Cigarette still in effect?
Sting: Yeah. I doubt I would have noticed it as quickly. Anyways I'm heading in.
The elevator doors opened up, and Sting went in. He looked, and saw that the only way it was moving, was by a password panel.
Sting: Sozin, I need the password for this elevator.
Sozin: One second...Here! It's 2538.
Sting entered the password. It was correct, and then a touch screen opened up, displaying where to go. Sting pressed the sub basement level, and the elevator began to move. Eventually, it reached the destination. Sting got out. His vision was back to normal. He muttered a couple curses under his breath, before switching to night vision on his helmet.
Sting: Knew it. Several trip lasers. No doubt for security purposes. Can you hack it Sozin?
Sozin: Unfortunately no. Security's to tight here for me to both hack the trip lasers and disable the containment locks.
JT: And here I thought hacking was your specialty.
Sozin: If you don't watch it, I'll hack you into doing something crazy for anyone.
JT: Whatever you say.
Sting: Damn. I didn't want to use my powers just yet, but I suppose that makes things more interesting. Unlock it Sozin.
Sozin: Consider it done.
String pressed a couple buttons in his gauntlets. He went stiff for a second, before smirking. He saw that the shield guarding the Silver Kryptonite was down. With the poison now in his system, he moved far faster then a human should. In record time, he snatched the silver Kryptonite. He immediately got back into the elevator, and went back up.
Sting: Tough call to make, but I think it was the right one Sozin.
There was no response on the other end. He tapped his ear piece of couple times.
Sting: Sozin? JT?
Suddenly, a static noise was heard, before Sozin spoke.
Sozin: Sorry boss, but we got ambushed. It seems security's in full effect. Get to the top floor as quickly as possible.
Sting: I'm on my way up. Be safe.
JT: We got this.
Sting nodded, as the feed was shut off. He sighed, before pressing a couple buttons on each of his gauntlets. It directly fed him a cocktail of poison that immediately coursed through his blood. He stumbled a bit, but regained his footing quickly, as his pupils dilated. He was ready for the upcoming fight, with a look that promised to get the job done.
