"You again! I'm starting to get insulted Green arrow isn't stopping my operations personally" Growled a man aiming a beam pistol at Speedy after he took out a few thugs with one arrow, who in turn avoided the red beams from below while firing his own arrows. Until one hit the barrel of the handgun making it explode and destroy the man's suit
"Do you know what I paid for a suit my size! Scorch the earth boys" yelled the leader not noticing a shadow move below him as he ordered his thugs until two were taken out by a red and yellow blur followed by two of robins throw-able while he swung onto higher ground making Aqualad seen before he used water whips to subdue the remaining thugs. Also while the leader ripped a large boulder from the ground throwing it to Speedy who in turn ducked with an arrow ready sending it before the man threw another boulder which finally made him notice the shadow beneath him zoom ahead of the boulder. Shocking the man as the shadow became a teenaged female who split it in half with her right foot smirking in victory as Aqualad landed beside her
"The cave is perfect, it has everything the team will need" informed Aqualad while Esmeralda smiled as she kept her eyes on the dust cloud
"For covert mission, you know spy stuff" added Robin as Kid flash ran up to the four flipping for a landing
"And wait till you meet Superboy and Miss Martian, But I saw her first" continued Kid flash causing a scoff to be heard from the shadows showing Kuro walk forward and catch a boulder allowing the teens to move as he dropped it lazily making himself a distraction for Speedy who fired three explosive arrows making the man chuckle
"Tell Green arrow never to send a boy to do a man's job" taunted the lead thug causing Kuro to growl while Speedy aimed another arrow
"Go ahead" taunted the man standing up with his arms held out looking down to see the arrow make contact before it popped trapping the man in solid foam
"High density pillorying foam… Nice" commented Kid flash after he zoomed before speedy turned and walked away
"So speedy? You in?" said Robin who leaned against a container beside Kuro who looked away from speedy
"Pass, I'm done letting green arrow and league tell me what to do. I don't need a babysitter, or a clubhouse with the other kids. Your junior justice league is a joke. Something to keep you busy and in your place" said speedy who growled at the last part before he walked into the shadows
"I don't want any part of it"
"I like Miss Martian better" grumbled Kuro
Mount justice July 18 11:16 EDT
"Recognized Robin B 01, Kid flash B03" said the computer minutes before Kid flash and Robin both in civilian clothing stood beside each other before they jogged to the rest of the group which consisted of Aqualad, Superboy, Miss Martian who stood close to Kuro along Esmeralda who had her haired tied up
"Did you ask him?"
"What did he say?" questioned Kid flash looking at Kuro in jealousy until he turned to Aqualad
"He's arriving now" answered Aqualad looking to Miss Martian now known as Megan Morse making her blush as she floated away softly
"What are we waiting for?" questioned an excited Kid flash before he ran to the chamber door followed by the group with Megan floating beside Kuro and Esmeralda until they emerged seeing Red Tornado along with a guest fly down showing the guest to be female in silver armor with a bow
"Red Tornado" greeted Kid flash causing the women to frown until she saw Kuro and Esmeralda smile
"Aunt Aeron" cheered Esmeralda hugging the goddess happily while Kuro saluted with a smile
"Greetings, is there a reason you intercepted me outside the cave?" questioned the robotic hero causing Aeron to roll her eyes
"We hoped you had a mission for us" said Aqualad
"Mission assignments are the Batman's responsibility" informed Red Tornado causing Aeron to sigh as she floated in a sitting position
"It's been a week since.."
"You'll be tested soon enough, for the time being simply enjoy each other's company" interrupted the robot
"This team is not a social club" stated Aqualad causing Esmeralda to pout while Aeron sighed with her arms crossed
"No, but I am told social interaction is an important team building exercise, perhaps you can keep busy by familiarizing yourself with the cave" said the robot before he walked by the team leaving Aeron with her niece and nephew
"Keep busy" grumbled Kid flash causing Kuro to scoff with his eyes closed
"Does he think we're falling for this?" questioned an annoyed Robin
"Oh I'll find out" whispered Megan focusing on Red Tornado only to disappointed as Red tornado was scanned
"Sorry, I forgot he was a machine" said Megan in disappointment until Kuro walked forward
"Nice try though" praised Kuro causing Megan to smile shyly
"Now we explore the club house" grumbled Aqualad looking at the team before he was surprised to see Kuro with a piece of bread in his mouth
"Well Miss Martian and Superboy have been living here, they can give us a tour guides" suggested Kuro causing the rest to look towards Superboy
"Don't look at me" said Superboy causing Esmeralda to giggle as she floated upside down
"Yeah, well the private tour sounds better" said Wally causing Kuro to glare at him until Robin nudged his side
"team building, We'll all go" said Aqualad causing Kuro to smirk as Robin shoved past Wally while also causing Megan to blush as she began the tour until an hour made the group appear at the back much to Kuro's amusement to the view
"Whoa, I can live here" commented Kuro looking over the view before his attention was brought back to the tour
"Apparently one of Kuro and Esmeralda's uncles helped with the hollowing of the mountain"
"Then why abandon it for the hall of justice?" questioned Superboy causing everyone to look in his general direction
"Mountain's secret location was… compromised" answered Aqualad looking around
"So they traded it in for a tourist trap, yeah that makes sense" said Superboy causing
"If the villains know of the cave we must be on constant alert" said Megan before Robin grabbed her hand softly
"The bad guys know we know they know of the place, they'd never think to look here" informed Robin causing Kuro to hide a growl under a cough
"What he means is we're hiding in plain sight" simplified Wally
"Ah, that's much clearer" said Megan before Kuro's head perked up like a dog with him sniffing
"I smell smoke" said Superboy and Kuro causing them both to blink in surprise before they smirked while Megan flew off towards the kitchen
"I was trying the recipe from… never mind" said Megan before shyly stopping her sentence
"I'm sure they would have been great, he doesn't seem to mind" said Robin while Barry ate a cookie
"I'll make more" offered Megan causing Kuro to open a cupboard pulling out a cookie mix happily
"I'll help" offered Kuro causing Megan to blush
"It was sweet of you to make any" said Aqualad with a smile
"Thanks Aqualad" praised Megan before Kuro coughed with a white cloud in his face
"We're off duty so call me Kaldur'ahm, actually my friends call me Kaldur" said Aqualad causing Wally to lean over with a dazed look
"I'm Wally, I already trust you with my identity" said Wally causing Kuro to toss the mixing into his face pretending to slip halting any other comment the moron would say
"Sorry" apologized Kuro
"Well mines no secret, its M'gann M'orzz, but you can call me Megan, its an earth name and I'm on earth now" said Megan before Superboy turned to walk away until he stopped and turned to Megan with a glare before Kuro ignored the conversation thinking of hateful things until he noticed Megan's sad slouch causing him to smile
"Well what's the worst that can happen with a little conversation?" thought Kuro startling Megan as he smiled giving her an idea
"Hello Megan, I know what we can do" said Megan before she flew past the others with Kuro unnoticed while Esmeralda floated above Superboy
"Superboy, please" said Esmeralda only to be ignored making her pout before she flew after the others causing Superboy to sigh as he followed suit grudgingly as the group stood in an elevator with Kuro silent with his head down until the elevator stopped
"It's my Martian bio ship" introduced Megan causing Esmeralda to smile like a child at the sight of a small oval ship
"Cute, not aerodynamic but cute" commented Wally causing Kuro to roll his eyes
"Not as cute as the pilot" thought Kuro stopping at the blush Megan gave him making him smile slightly in embarrassment before the team witnessed the ship morph allowing the team to enter after it spun
"I love it already" chuckled Kuro before he dashed to the entry
"Incredible" commented Robin causing Kuro to clamp a band of Shadows over Wally's mouth
"Don't even think about it!" warned Kuro causing Wally to gulp before being quiet much to everyones joy until Robin spoke
"Hey can you show us some Martian shape shifting?" said Robin causing Kuro to pay attention as Megan stood shifting her body to look like Robin's only female followed by Kid flash's
"Is it weird that I think I look hot?" questioned Wally causing Kuro to blink and knock his head
"Yes you idiot" growled Kuro before the ship retrieved a transmission
"Red tornado to Miss Martian, an emergency alert at the happy Harbor plant, I suggest you investigate. Covertly I'm sending coordinates" informed Red Tornado causing Kuro to stand and smile evilly
"Well a fire led you to Superboy, maybe we should see what triggered the alert" said Megan while Superboy looked out the window
"I think I know the cause" said Superboy causing Kuro to freeze as the team saw a tornado zooming towards them catching them and toss the ship making Kuro lose balance as he went flying through a wall causing Megan to panic as he could be seen hanging on for dear life
'You can fly moron!" yelled Esmeralda causing Kuro to frown until he tapped his head against the wing before feeling himself pulled followed by the ship moving out of the tornado and land allowing the group to see Kuro flying above with an annoyed look
"Robin, are tornadoes common in new England?" questioned Aqualad turning to see Robin gone
"He was just here" said Megan before the windows of a factory exploded causing the group to run towards it seeing Robin pushed against a pillar
"Whose your friend?" questioned Superboy as Robin grunted
"Didn't catch his name, but he plays pretty rough" yelled Robin as Superboy leaped forward followed by Kuro and his sister
"My apologies, you may address me as mister twister" said the man causing Kuro to become invisible confusing the robot as he sent small twisters that sent Superboy back before Kuro came into view behind Twister who was surprised at the attack from behind that took off his right arm
"I like my robots explosive" growled Kuro as he held the limb surprising Megan as his eyes glowed red
"Take him down!" ordered Aqualad causing the group to charge with Kuro being a distraction until Esmeralda sent a beam at the robot's other arm severing it as Superboy sent Twister flying through the roof showing himself on the ground before his chest opened to show a man
"Foul play" said the man only to freeze as Kuro appeared with the group running to him startled as his right arm became a blade
"I'm doing this for my enjoyment" chuckled Kuro before he sliced downward causing Aqualad and Robin to freeze in shock at his actions until they saw circuitry along with the look of disappointment from Kuro as he walked away leaving the robot corpse to the others who were all shocked
"He's scary like his father" commented Robin before he could see the look of worry on Esmeralda's face
