AN: Here is the next chapter. Short I know, but... the next ones will be longer. I promise.
Also, I have started on two more chapters for this already so...the next update should come sooner. :D
Disclaimer: I don't own Young Justice. Really.
Wally sped into the training hall to be met by Robin."Ha!"
"Dude seriously, do you wear your costume under your civies or something?" Wally was perplexed, he was like, the fastest boy alive. How did Robin beat him changing? The boy wonder's reply was smug. "No, but maybe you should have."
The rest of the team filed in shortly after. Aqualad, Artemis, M'gann, Superboy, who had just gone to get a clean shirt, and Nova. Her costume was similar to Robin's, a black mask, black gloves, and black boots. After that the outfit changed a little, her black cape was lined with non reflective silver on the edges and insides. Her utility belt was also silver and seemed to hang at an angle on her black tights. Her main bodice consisted of dark purple with silver straps. No emblem or marking. It was a costume clearly built for stealth.
Black Canary cleared her throat, "Well, everyone. We have a decision to make. There is a thug takedown in Gotham City, everyone tries to take down the most thugs and whoever comes out on top gets to pick the mission next time. Or we can do a different mission where you guys have to infiltrate an aircraft carrier. Same rules apply except you have to stay hidden the longest.
Kid Flash's face lit up at the mention of the aircraft carrier. "Carrier! Carrier!" He cheered. Artemis rolled her eyes. "Then I pick Gotham." If Wally could shoot daggers then Artemis would have had to go the hospital. Much to Kid's dismay Superboy chose Gotham as well and because M'gann liked him she went along like a lemming. "That's three to one." Kid Flash counted off on his fingers. "Come on Rob, it's a carrier. An aircraft carrier." Robin sighed. "Fine Flash Boy, I pick the carrier." Nova blew a strand of hair out of her face. "Gothatm."
Kid Flash's face fell. "Aw..." Aqualad shrugged, "Now it does not matter which I pick." Black Canary yawned. "Okay, Gotham it is. Everyone stand to the center and prepare comm links while I get the room ready." Nova tilted her head. "How..does this work exactly?" Canary smirked, "Don't ask me, ask J'onn. Or, maybe Zatara." She started walking to the end of the room where the control panel was located. "Everyone get ready!" She shouted.
Everyone in? Megan's voice rang in their heads.
Here. Superboy.
As always gorgeous. Kid Flash.
This is so cool! M'gann smiled. Nova.
I'm here. Aqualad.
Hey Baywatch I don't wanna hear all your thoughts so watch it. Artemis.
Here as always. Robin.
And the surroundings shifted. A dark empty alley, the night air was smoggy and the sound of cars rang in their ears. Nova stretched. Well I'm off. And then she flipped into the shadows, followed by Robin. Hey where are you going? Kid Flash tried to make out their shadowy shapes but they must have already gone. Either that or he needed glasses. It's a competition weirdo, weren't you listening? We have to take down the most thugs. With that reminder from Artemis the rest of the team dispersed.
Nova was in her element. The night. The shadows. They were her greatest friend. Hiding in them. Playing with them. Keeping each other's secrets...Robin could have the air, she was fine as long as she had the dark. Flipping and twisting she grappled to the top of Wayne Enterprises. Oh, there are some. She dove, grappling at the last moment to land in front of a small group of thugs. One right hook, two twisting kicks, four batarangs and an uppercut later. I got five! Seven, she heard Superboy grunt back. A scowl crossed her face. Time to go in for more.
Kid Flash wasn't doing so well. Speed wasn't always a good thing in crowded streets. He had yet to run into any thugs either. It's not fair! He thought to the team, Robin and Nova have more experience in Gotham then any of us!
Shut it Baywatch! You're whining is breaking my concentration. Just go get some goons or something. Ouch.
The mission flew by. No one received any "injuries" besides minor cuts and bruises. The hour ended with Robin at top with a whopping sixty three enemies. Artemis and Nova weren't far behind with fifty eight and fifty three. Then it was Superboy with forty four, Miss Martian with thirty seven. Aqualad with thirty six. And Kid Flash with thirty four.
Black Canary was pleased. "Robin wins! That was great guys! Everyone hit the showers!"
