(Title) Training Excercise
(Genre) Humor/Adventure/Action
(Rating) K+/T
(Explanation) I'm bored, and I have writer's block. I'm on a Running Man kick right now, and thought it be fun to see what would happen if they all had to compete in Running Man… Sounds like fun! It's based on the Korean Variety show, Running Man, which if you haven't watched, you totally should!
It will be a bit different from the actual Running Man, and I'll make it so that it's a training exercise… Read and laugh!
"So, today, we thought that you guys could use a break from all of the traditional training exercises today and instead, and because today is M'gann's birthday, we're going to play a game," Black Canary said, smiling at M'gann and giving her a congratulatory nod.
"What kind of… game… will we partake in?" Kaldur asked, happy for something that could boost team morale.
"We're going to play a game of hide & seek," Black Canary said, grinning.
"How is that going to help our training?" Artemis asked, skeptical.
"The rules are going to be a bit… different," Black Canary said, "You will be split into two teams, one team of chasers, who will work to eliminate the other team's members, who will be doing a mission. The chasers, however, will have to tie bells on their shoes so that the mission team will have a fair advantage."
"So, what are the teams?" Robin asked, ready to start.
"On the chasing team will be Connor, M'gann, Artemis, and Wally, and the mission team will be Robin, Kaldur, Raquelle, and Zatanna. Also, M'gann, as the birthday girl, you don't have to wear a bell," Black Canary said, ignoring the looks of anger pointed at her from Wally and Artemis, "Powers are allowed, but no injuring or explosives."
She looked pointedly at Robin and Artemis, the non-metas.
"Also, there will be a punishment for the team that loses. Anyway, the whole Cave and the beach is fair game, and the mission team, you will have two hours to complete your mission, which I will give you once the chasing team departs," she said, and then motioned at the chasing team to 'shoo.'
oOoOoOo
The chasing team gathered in the kitchen, and Connor, Wally, and Artemis began tying on the bells.
"I wonder what the punishment will be," Wally said, tying his shoes.
"Knowing Black Canary, and Batman, it's probably something really painful, and embarrassing…" Artemis concluded, already finished with tying her bell on.
Black Canary had gone into a more detailed explanation, telling them that both the chasing and mission team will have to wear name tags on their backs that the chasing team will have to rip off in order to eliminate them.
M'gann looked curiously at the name tag on Artemis' back, "So, I think the best plan would be to split up, because I heard that the mission team can also get us out if they complete their mission."
"… I just wonder what their mission is?" Wally said.
Connor grunted, also curious.
oOoOoOo
After putting on name tags, Black Canary smiled at them, obviously excited, "So, you'll need to find four cards with the chasing team's name on it. Once you find them, there will be a specific team member's name on it, and then that member of the chasing team member will be eliminated."
The four nodded, and Robin grinned, "How hard will it be to find them?"
Black Canary grinned cheekily, "Some will be… harder to find then others. Anyway, the mission will be over when you find all four or when the all of your name tags have been ripped off."
Red Tornado's voice than resounded over the speakers, "The game will start in ten seconds…"
"10…
9…
8…
7…
6…
5…
4…
3…
2…
1…
Game, START!"
oOoOoOo
Megan and Connor set off, carefully watching for any sign of their team mates.
Connor's bell was tinkling softly, and Megan had a brilliant idea, "I think we should split up, I'll go in camouflage mode, and since I don't have a bell, so I'll be virtually undetectable."
Connor nodded, not really enthusiastic about this game, only putting up with it for the sake of M'gann's birthday.
She smiled, and she took off, her green form slowly disappearing.
oOoOoOo
Robin and Zatanna slowly made their way toward the kitchen. Robin was sure that their would be a mission paper there.
"etativel su pu!" she said, waving her arms.
The pair quickly shot up toward where the ceiling fans were, and Robin let out a quick shout of glee.
A plain, white card, with Superboy's name stamped across it was on the top side of the blade of the ceiling fan.
"Connor Kent, OUT," Red Tornado's voice said, announcing to the inhabitants of the Cave that the Boy of Steel had been eliminated.
oOoOoOo
Artemis and Wally, despite arguing nearly every minute of the day, worked well together, and being scared straight about the mysterious "punishment" Black Canary had threatened the losers with, were more than willing to work together.
"I think someone's in the kitchen," Artemis whispered, hearing the familiar sound of Robin's gleeful cackle.
Wally nodded, and they creeped toward the doorway, where they could see a smiling Robin and a gleeful Zatanna.
"I got Robin, you get Zatanna," Wally said, preparing to run.
Unfortunately, Robin had heard the sound of their bells, and disappeared, leaving a poor, startled Zatanna in a two on one battle with Artemis and Wally.
"Zatanna Zatara, OUT."
oOoOoOo
Kaldur was walking awkwardly next to Raquelle, who was busy searching for a white card.
"Boost me up, Kaldur," Raquelle suddenly said, interrupting Kaldur's thoughts.
He complied, and in the rear backing of Wally's souvenir shelves, their was a plain, white card with "M'gann" stamped across it.
Raquelle grinned.
"M'gann M'orzz, OUT."
oOoOoOo
With two of their team mates already out, Artemis and Wally could sense the urgency of the situation.
They spotted Kaldur slowly creeping toward a door, making sure that there weren't any chasers following him, and he quickly dashed inside.
Wally, carrying Artemis, quickly and mostly quietly, crept up on Kaldur.
To their immense joy, Robin was also in the room.
For once, caught by surprise, he wasn't able to utter a single word before Artemis, smirking, had ripped off his name tag.
Kaldur, caught in a cross fire on who should've been able to rip off Robin's name tag, sat patiently, and seeing an opening, quickly ran out of the room.
He cracked a rare smile as he heard Artemis yelling at Wally for letting Kaldur escape.
"Robin, OUT."
oOoOoOo
Robin, still in a little shock from finding out that it was Wally and Artemis that had gotten him out, was ranting loudly about how he was caught by surprise.
Zatanna sighed, "You ever heard of Animal Farm?"
Robin, paused mid – rant, and nodded.
"And then the lion and tiger who always fight, they fall in love," Zatanna said in a resigned tone.
Robin then grinned, "Yeah, and then the child they have together will be a liger."
Zatanna giggled, "Well, if getting out means they will finally get together, it doesn't seem all that bad."
oOoOoOo
Wally and Artemis seemed literally like a lion and a tiger, cornering Raquelle into a corner of the Cave.
"Raquelle Henshaw, OUT."
Now, only Kaldur remained, and Wally and Artemis couldn't find him anywhere.
"Where is he?" Artemis asked, frustrated.
Wally then grinned, and nudged Artemis, "Look."
Artermis followed Wally's finger, and he was pointing at the hem of Kaldur's civvy blazer.
Artemis grinned as well, "Gotcha."
"Kaldur'am, OUT."
oOoOoOo
Four Hours Later –
It. Was. Snowing.
It. Was. Snowing.
It was snowing, and the four members of the mission team were freezing. Force into tank tops and short exercise pants, they were driven, blind folded, to M'gann and Connor's high school, and told to find their own way home.
Some mentors they were.
So, with sad, desolate faces and blue lips, the four some began the long journey back to the Cave.
oOoOoOo
