Chapter 4: Welcome to Happy Harbor

Star City: July 17th, 23:16PDT

People were packing cases of laser guns into a truck. Their boss, Brick, was watching them, carefully inspecting their work. Two workers were putting one case in the cargo hold when an arrow was suddenly embedded in the asphalt and exploded in their faces.

It sent the workers away, and a gun straight into Brick's hands, then pick it up with his feet. He started up the gun, and pointed it Speedy, who was atop a support beam.

"You again! I'm starting to get insulted Green Arrow's not messing up my operation personally!" Brick yelled, and fired the gun at him.

Speedy easily dodged and flipped over on-coming lasers. He landed on a catwalk, and ran down it. More blasts came at him. He flipped over another one, and shot an arrow. The arrow pierced the muzzle; it exploded and ripped Brick's suit to shreds.

"Do you know what I pay for a suit my size!?" Brick yelled, and turned to his workers behind him. "Scorch the Earth, boys."

The workers got their guns ready, but a yellow blur ran by, knocking two guards out. Two bat-a-rangs knocked the remaining guard's guns out of their hands. Robin flew above them, cackling as he always does, and landed in a small space between some boxes.

Aqualad jumped in front of the entrance to the small space, grabbing his water bearers as he did. His tattoos started glowing, and he jumped forward. He easily knocked the two workers out by crashing them into a steel box.

Brick then grabbed the pavement, ripped off a slab, and threw it at Speedy, who ducked. He let loose another arrow that exploded on contact with Brick's shoulder. Brick threw another slab at Speedy, who dodged, and let Aqualad in his Atlantean cut the slab in half, and Speedy let loose another arrow. As Aqualad let his glow and water bearers die down he looked to Speedy.

"The Cave is perfect. It has everything the team will need." He informed him.

Robin jumped down behind him. "For covert missions, spy stuff."

Kid Flash zipped up behind them. "And wait till you see Superboy, and Miss Martian! But I saw her first!"

Brick came out of the rubble, and threw, while grunting, once again, another slab of pavement at them. Wondergirl easily destroyed it as she punched it. Speedy let loose three arrows that exploded one by one. Once it was over, Brick laughed.

"Heh heh, tell Arrow he shouldn't send boys to do a man's job." Brick said, in an insulting tone.

Speedy ignored him and readied another arrow. Brick spread his arms wide.

"Go ahead." He told him.

Speedy let loose the arrow, but instead of exploding, it turned into red foam, which engulfed Brick, and his screaming.

High density, polyurethane foam. Nice." She said with a thumb's up.

Speedy didn't say anything as he turned away and walked towards Aqualad, Kid Flash, and Robin.

"So Speedy, you in?" Robin askedleaning against a metal cargo container.

Speedy stopped and turned to him.

"Pass. I'm done letting Arrow and the League tell me what to do. I don't need a babysitter or a clubhouse hang-out with the other kids. Your Junior Justice League is a joke: something to keep you busy and in your place. I don't want any part of it" Speedy looked away and started to walk away. "Especially if Iron Man is on this team."

And with that he disappeared into the shadows, leaving everyone else shocked.

Mount Justice, July 18, 11:14 EDT

Recognized Iron Man B-09

I'm so loving this right now. It's been a week since me and the newly formed Young Justice had set up shop in Mount Justice. I've installed Friday into the network the League installed in this place making it more efficient than it already was.

I also was able to design the Mark 44 Hulkbuster armor. Pretty useful if I have to face ridiculously strong threats like Doomsday or an evil Superman. I also was designing the Iron Legion as our backup should we need. I have Friday being as the director of the legionnaires should I happen to be incapacitated to give orders.

If you haven't guess already I don't get much sleep and have loads of time since I literally don't need to go to school. Due to my genius level mind as well as still retaining knowledge of when I was in college in my old world, the board of education has allowed me to only appear to school only during the first day and when finals happen.

Sounds ridiculous I know but the material is literally the same as the ones in my old world and thus I have perfect recall of any and all assignments that the teachers could give me. Thus, I was able to hand in every assignment they had planned to every teacher and they didn't want me doing nothing class all day. Not to mention that I gave them an enormous amount of money to look the other way. Obviously, the didn't hesitate to take the money since I was a Stark and I was good for it. Greedy educators exist in all worlds I guess. The things money can do right.

Anyway I've been mainly hanging out in the Cave then be at home. My parents trust me enough to be anywhere I want for long periods as long as I update them on what I was doing. Most of the time I lie to them to preserve the fact that I'm Iron Man. I hate lying to them but I will tell them soon. I don't want to have someone else do it. Just need to find the right time.

Now here I am coming back from finishing up the external weapons system of Mount Justice and I see to Aqualad, Superboy, Robin, Kid Flash and Miss Martian who outside of the ramp entrance wearing civilian clothes waiting for Red Tornado. They are very eager for a mission. I take off my armor and have it sent to my quarters in the Cave which has become like a secondary home for me.

I'm currently wearing a gray hooded t-shirt along with black cargo pants and black and white Nike shoes. Didn't know Nike existed in this universe.

"Hey guys. What's going on?" I ask them as I walk towards their direction.

"Hey David" says Miss Martian with a slight blush and a wave.

I wave back with a smile.

"We are waiting for Red Tornado to ask for a mission" stated Aqualad. The rest of the heroes nodded in agreement

"You realize that Batman is the one who assigns the missions right?" I told them but ignored me when they saw Red Tornado approaching.

"Red Tornado!" Kid Flash greeted him with a wave.

"Greetings." Red Tornado's mechanical voice sounded. "Is there a reason you intercept me outside the cave?"

"We hoped you had a mission for us." Aqualad admitted.

"Mission assignments are the Batman's responsibility." Red Tornado answered.

"Told you" I said but was again ignored.

"But it's been over a week and-" Robin began before Red Tornado cut him off placing his hand in the air waving the team off.

"You will be tested soon enough, for the time being simply enjoy each other's company" Red Tornado told them.

"We are not a social club Tornado" I said

No, but I am told social interaction is an important team building exercise." Red Tornado noted as he began to enter the cave. "Perhaps you can keep busy by familiarizing yourselves with the Cave."

"Does he think we're falling for this!?" Robin exclaimed in outrage.

"Oh, I'll find out!" Miss Martian exclaimed. She appeared to be concentrating her telepathy at Red Tornado.

Recognized Red Tornado 1-6

"Oh sorry I forgot that he is inorganic I... cannot read his mind" Miss Martian says apologetically.

"It's ok Miss M. You have nothing to apologize for" I said to her. She smiles and thanks me.

My relationship with her is pretty good. Since shelves in the cave with Superboy and I practically lived there myself, we grew close. She would tell me all about Martian culture and what her home looked like before it was gone. I would tell her about my life, at this the one I have on this world, and how I became to be Iron Man. She seemed shocked and inspired by my initiative to start becoming a hero without any mentors at such a young age. She is such a kind hearted person, it makes you forget that she is also a very powerful telepath. I knew that she was a White Martian in disguise but I didn't want to make her feel ostracized by letting her know this.

My relationship with Superboy is good as well. He wasn't much of a talker since he would just brood all the time but he can maintain a casual conversation from time to time. He could give Batman a run for his money on the "brooding" department. We have this sorta brotherly relationship similar to the one I have with Dick but Superboy is more aloof in comparison. I imagine that he is still trying to answer his existential questions. I do my best to cheer him up with varied levels of success. Must be rough being a clone.

I'm cut off of my thoughts when I hear Kid Flash talk.

You can read my mind, though." Kid Flash leaned in at her. "So, uh, you know what I'm thinking right now?"

"We all know what you're thinking." Robin elbows the speedster.

"Ow!" Kid Flash said to her.

"And now we tour the clubhouse…" Aqualad frowned.

"Well…Superboy, David and I live here. We can play tour guides." Miss Martian suggested.

"Don't look at me." Superboy grunted.

"We won't!" Kid stared at Miss Martian. "A private tour sounds much more fun."

"Yea, I don't think so Kid" I said

"Sh-She never said private!" Robin interjected.

"Team building." Aqualad stated. "We'll all go."

Megan clapped her hands excitedly as she walked back towards the entrance. "This is the front door" she said as she walked through and inside the cave.

After showing the us nearly every part of the cave that mattered, to which I already knew, Megan made her way to the back of the cave.

"This would be the back door" she announced as we walked out of the cave and onto a platform that was used when vehicles entered the facility. "The cave is actually the entire mountain"

"It was hollowed out and reinforced by Superman and Green Lantern in the early days of the league" Wally mentioned as we walked back inside.

Stopping at a staircase that led further into the cave Superboy decided to ask questions. "Why abandon it for the Hall of Justice?"

"The caves secret location was compromised a while back." I answered.

"So they traded it in for a tourist trap? Yeah that makes sense." Superboy finished sarcastically.

"If the villains know the cave, we must be on constant alert." Miss Martian said worriedly.

Robin grabbed her hand. "The bad guys know we know that they know about the place, so they'd never think to look here."

Wally threw Robin's hand off of Miss Martian's but before he could say anything I said "What he means is; we're hiding in plain sight so we should be ok." Wally glares at me for cutting him off while Robin glares at the speedster for removing his hand.

"Ah, that's… much clearer." Miss Martian said with understanding

"Miss Martian, I belive your cookies are ready" said the voice of Friday.

"Ah, my cookies" said Miss Martian as she flys straight to the kitchen.

I remember from the tv show that her cookies were burnt because she forgot them. This time I had Friday monitor any activity in the cave including Miss M's cooking.

We catch up to Miss Martian to the kitchen where she telekinetically removes the silver plate of cookies from the oven. And from what I see they are perfectly baked. Crisis averted.

"Looks good Miss M" I said to her as I take a cookie and eat it "Tastes even better. Who taught you how to bake?"

She smiles at the praise and says "I taught myself after watching an episode of a tv show. It's supposed to be Grandma Jones recipe."

I nod my head in response since I'm currently eating probably the best cookie I ever had. Each of the other members of the team take a cookie and eat it. They all have the same reaction as I do and praise her for her baking. Even the brooding Superboy expresses his praise in the form of a nod. Wally loves the cookies a bit too much as I see him speed eating the rest of them from the plate. We all look at him with deadpan expressions.

Wally soon stops eating and sees that we are looking at him "What? I have a serious metabolism"

I just sigh and shake my head

"Should I make more?" Asks Miss Martian

"Absolutely" I immediately answer cause those cookies should just be illegal for how good they are "it's sweet of you to make us this"

She blushes and says "Thanks David"

I smile back at her thinking that she would be one hell of a wife to have with those culinary skills of hers. I'm drawn out of my thoughts as Aqualad speaks

"Since we are off duty we may as well call ourselves by our actual names" he said "Call me Kaldur'ahm. Actually, my friends call me Kaldur."

"I'm Wally" Wally said as he shoved a cookie into his mouth. "See? I already trust you with my secret ID, unlike Mr. Dark Glasses over there. Batman's forbidden boy wonder and armor kid from telling anyone his real name."

"Mine's no secret. It's M'gann M'orzz." Miss Martian state proudly to them. "But you can call me Megan…It's an Earth name, and I'm on Earth now."

"I already told you guys my name but what the hell I'll play along. My names David Stark" I said to them "You can call me 'Mr. Badass' if you ever feel the urge to"

Wally scoffs at this proclamation. Aqualad and Robin smile at my ridiculousness and M'gann just giggles. Super boy, however, just sighs lightly and turns to leave the room. I see this and I realize that he was born with no name just a title. I'm gonna give him a name soon, he deserves that much. On his way out Superboy felt a small something in his mind.

'Don't worry Superboy; we'll find you an Earth name too.' Megan said to him sweetly telepathically.

Superboy narrowed his eyes with rage "Get outta my head!"

'What's wrong? Everybody on Mars communicates telepathically.' Megan told everyone telepathically.

"M'gaan stop!" Kaldur told her "Here your powers are an extreme invasion of privacy."

"Plus Cadmus' psychic G-gnomes left a bad taste in his brain" Wally told her. This earn him a hit elbowed in the stomach from Me.

"I didn't mean to-" Megan started to say but got interrupted.

"Just stay out!" Superboy spoke with a growl.

He then walk over to the couch that was close to the kitchen.

M'gann looks down with a saddened expression. She is very remorseful about her actions. I put my hand on her shoulder and she looks up at me.

I give her a reassuring smile and whisper in her ear "Don't blame yourself. You didn't know"

A smile forms once again on her face and after a few seconds of silence she says "Hello, Megan. I know what we can do! Follow me"

Eeryone went to follow except for Superboy who chose to sit on the couch.

I knew this would happen and stayed behind for a moment.

"You coming Superboy?" I ask.

He looks at me and then grunts as his response. Better than nothing I suppose. He starts to get up from the couch and we head out to follow the rest of the team.

"It's my Martian Bio-Ship" M'gann said as we walk into the hangar where a giant red sphere shaped object laid.

"Cute. Not aerodynamic but, cute." Wally said as M'gann chuckled slightly.

"It's at rest silly. I'll wake it" M'gann waved her hand in the air causing the sphere to shift and melt growing wings and even a door, which opened with only another wave of the Martian teens hands.

"You guys coming?" She ask.

Everyone, myself included, had wide eyes and loose jaws as we slowly walked in to the ship and were surprised with how big and roomy it was. It was an empty room with windows on each side. I know I should not be surprised by these things since I've seen them before but you can't tell me you wouldn't be just as surprised at everything you see when the world you are in is from a tv show. Sue me if you don't like it. I can afford it.

Suddenly chairs melted up from the floor along with a control console in front of the main chair. As we sat, flesh like straps melted around them.

"Cool" Wally said as he let the straps form around him. This happens to all of us as we sit down

"Red Tornado, please open the bay doors" as the doors opened per her request, M'gann took off at full speeds.

"Incredible!" Robin said while Wally sighs looking straight at M'gann.

"She sure is... I mean the ship! Like all ships is a she." He said.

Robin and myself smirked at him. "Fast with his feet, not so much with his mouth." Said Robin

"Dude!" Wally yelled

"You're not very subtle are you Kid?" I said to Wally. He just glares at me.

"I may not have psychic powers, but I can guess what you're thinking." Kaldur said.

Superboy looked at him with a questioning look.

"You overreacted and you don't know how to apologize." The Atlantian said, and smiled. "Just say sorry."

Superboy looked ahead, and Kaldur looked away.

M'gann was watching them but didn't hear their conversation.

"He'll come around." Robin whispered.

"He doesn't seem to like me much." M'gann whispered back.

"It's not that he doesn't like you." I said to her as she looks to me "he's just trying to find his place in the world and hopes that one day he can be at peace with who he becomes. If he seems aloof, it's mainly because he doesn't know how to act around regular people that don't treat him as a weapon or a monster."

"You guys remember he has Super Hearing, right?" Wally asked.

Oh, I know this fact very well. I could see Superboy's face go down in sadness because he knew I was right. The road to self discovery is a dangerous one but it won't be a path he would walk alone. The team and I will be right there with him.

M'gann had a look of understanding when she listened to me. I think she has some clear insight to Superboy's problem.

To change the subject of a depressing topic, Robin asks M'gann "How 'bout a little Martian shape shifting?"

M'gann then nodded her head with a smile on her face signifying she was happy to do so. She first turned into a female version or Robin. Then turn in a female version Wally.

"Is it wrong that I think I'm hot?" Wally ask.

"That's not an image I want to have in my head Wally" I said to him

M'gann then shapeshifters into a femal version of me. I must admit that my female counterpart is definitely sexy.

Robin then stated. "Impressive, but you know you're not exactly going to fool anyone with those."

"Mimicking boys is a lot harder." M'gann admitted.

"And your clothes?" I ask.

"They're organic like the ship. They respond to my mental commands." M'gann explained to her.

"As long as they're the only ones…" Superboy muttered.

"Can you do that ghosting through walls thing Manhunter does?" Wally ask.

"Density shifting?" M'gann looked embarrassed. "No, I-it's a very advanced technique."

"Flash can vibrate his molecues right through walls. Heh heh heh! When he tries it…his nose bleeds!"Robin chuckled.

"Dude!" Wally exclaimed.

I also laugh at Wally's embarrassment

"Here's something I can do!" as her mental command was sent the entire external shell of the Bio-Ship began melting with its surroundings. "Camouflage mode."

"Red Tornado to Miss Martian, an emergency alert has been triggered at the Happy Harbor Power Plant. I suggest you investigate covertly. I'm sending coordinates." Red Tornado told her

"Received. Adjusting course." M'gann told him.

"Tornado's keeping us busy again." Robin scoff and frowned.

"Uh... I don't think he is doing that" I said to him.

"What makes you say that?" Robin questioned.

"Well because there is A GIANT TWISTER HEADING STRAIGHT FOR US"I told him I point to the side of the window.

Robin and the rest of the team look st the direction I was looking at. Next thing we did was the most logical thing to do in such a situation.

"AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Everyone scream.

M'gann soon got the Bio-Ship out of the twister. She the land it in front of the Power Plant.

The heroes immediately jumped out to face the giant cyclone in front of them.

"Robin, are Tornados common in New England?" Aqualad asked but looked around to find that Robin was already running towards the factory. "Robin?"

All we heard was a cackle from him.

"He really needs to stop doing that" I muttered.

"But he was just here." M'gann stated while still confused.

"That's Robin for ya." Wally told her.

I saw several cars being flipped over and also see the destruction the twisters had caused to the people.

"Ok here's the plan we need to..."I begin to say but then noticed that my teammates were heading towards the power plant. " Seriously! We need to focus on the people and get them to safety than deal with whatever is inside the plant."

They didn't hear me so I then wear my hoodie over my face and run to the nearest destroyed car. I'm practically famous as both a Stark and an inventor, I don't want anyone to recognize me. There was a man in the driver seat with two children in the back.

I couldn't open the door since it was stuck and I don't have super strength so I go to the watch I had on my left wrist. I press a few buttons which activates a glove that has some of the basic functions of his iron man armor. Similar to what Tony had in Civil War. With it, I used the lasers function and then cut the car door open. Then I grab the man and his two children out of the car. I then gently laid them down on the street far away from the destruction.

"Guh…" The man's eyes opened a little. "My…kids…" he says scared about what happened to them

"It's ok, it's ok" I reassure him "they are safe, I was able to get them out too" I gently turn his head to the direction of his children. They were unconscious but overall fine.

"Thank you" the man says before going unconscious himself.

"Your welcome" I said to the man despite knowing that he was unconscious.

I look to my watch and activate my communicator "Friday, call local authorities and paramedics and inform them about the situation her at the power plant."

"Understood Boss" says Friday

"Thanks Friday" I said to her. I search more of the cars and try to help as many civilians as I can. Many thanked me and asked who I was. I just told them that I'm just a guy passing by. I also told them to find somewhere safe until the authorities come.

Once I was done helping, I ran to the power plant to assist my team. That's when I saw, on the opposite end of the plant, there was a red android that was generating wind similar to Red Tornado. It was a giant man wearing some sort of red and blue armor with a single scarf tied around its neck. Blue glowing tubes extended from his back into his arms and his eyes were a sinister blue.

I knew who he was and his goal but I have to help me team before things get worse. I take out some marbles that were in my pocket. These were mini-explosives that could pack quite the punch once activated. Having inspiration from the Black Panther movie of my world I made these. There small, mobile and dangerous. Perfect combination

I run near the android and activate the explosives. Once I got close enough, I threw them at the machine and exploded upon impact. The force of the blast pushes the android several yards outside. From I can see, it did some serious damage but not enough to completely take him down.

The android looks at me and states "Ah, so there is another member of this group of naive children. If I'm not mistaken, you're Iron Man correct?"

Good thing I have my hoodie so that he doesn't know my real identity. "Pleasure to make your acquaintance." I said to him "What should I call you? Captain Cropduster?"

"My name is Mr. Twister and I-" Mr. Twister tries to say but I interrupt him. "Oh you mean like the game? I'm terrible at it. I'm not very flexible"

I can tell that Mr. Twister was getting annoyed at me. He was gonna attack until he hears something.

"What did you do to the rest of my team!?" Kid Flash questioned him.

"Embarrassed them largely." Mr. Twister says as he extends his arms.

"Kid move" I try to warn him but it was too late.

The wind caught Kid Flash and sent him flying at me. I jump up in the air and try to catch him but he was going to fast and so his body hit mine with great force putting us into the ground. God that hurt.

"You ok Kid?" I ask him. He nods

"Yea thanks" he says to me as he gets up and offers me a hand.

"Anytime" I said. I grab his hand and helps me up

"Kid! Iron Man!" Robin shouted as the rest of the team approached them.

"Where were you?" Superboy shouted at me.

"Helping the civilians. They were in danger and could've been badly hurt. I had to make sure they were safe" I told him. I see that Superboy has a look of understanding on his face but it's masked by the look of rage he has for the android.

"An unfortunate casualty." Mr. Twister noted.

"What do you want!?" Aqualad shouted at the android.

"Isn't it obvious?!" Twister shouted at the heroes. "I'm waiting for a real hero. Clearly, Iron Man is nothing without his suit. He's just a weakling who doesn't deserve the honor of being one."

I look at him with a very angry expression and glare.

"Read his mind, Miss Martian. Try to find a weakness." Aqualad told her.

"But I thought that I'm not supposed to read minds." Miss Martians remembered.

"It's okay with the bad guys!" Robin shouted.

"It wouldn't matter anyway. Pretty sure he's an android." I told them.

"Hello, Megan!" Miss Martian exclaimed. "Mr. Twister is Red Tornado in disguise! He's inorganic! An android! How many androids do you know that can generate tornadoes?"

"Red Tornado sent us here!" Kaldur announced.

"After saying we would be tested." Robin said while chiming in.

"This game, so over." Wally said before walking over to where Twister was floating.

"Guys, what are you doing?" I ask them but they ignore me.

"We know who you are and what you want." Robin said to him.

"So let's end this." Kaldur added.

"Consider it ended." Mr. Twister reeled back and unleashed two twin cyclones into the air causing a massive storm cloud to form above him.

"Impressive show but we will not indulge you, we will not engage." Kaldur shouted pointing at him.

Suddenly lighting began to crackle in Twisters storm cloud.

"Uh, can Red Tornado do that?" Wally asked.

"No you idiot! I told you before he is not Red Tornado! I shout at him

"You think I'm Tornado? Ironic!" Twister sent a bolt of lightning into the ground in front of us knocking us backwards.

Superboy ripped his jacket off revealing his black and red t-shirt. He roared and jumped into the air only to be struck by lightning in the chest sending him towards the ground.

I fire my repulsive beams at Mr. Twister aiming at his damaged parts. Unfortunately, he knew I would do this and sent a mini Tornado my way, sending me flying in the air. Before I hit the ground, I felt this force stopping me and I turn my head and see M'gann with her hand raised in my direction. She puts me down next to the team. I thank her and smiles in response. We see Mr. Twister coming toward us to which he was about to finish us off.

Using her telepathy she called the Bio-Ship to appear right between them and Twister. But stopped when he lost sight of them. As the Bio-Ship was in camouflage mode, it blended in with its surroundings without the heroes in the picture of course.

"Fine, then. Playing hide and seek will not help me achieve my objectives. So stay concealed. If you confront me again, I will show no mercy!" Twister turned around and flew away after giving the warning.

"What happened?" Wally asked sitting up.

"I placed the Bio-Ship in front of us." M'gann told everyone.

Superboy smashed his fist into a boulder next to him. "And that's supposed to make it right?"

Superboy tried to step in front of Megan, who was still on the ground but I got in the way "Calm down, Superboy."

"Why are you defending her? She tricked us into thinking that this guy was Red Tornado!" Superboy said with anger.

"She didn't do it on purpose" Kaldur said.

"It was a rookie mistake" Robin pointed out "We shouldn't have listened."

"You are pretty inexperienced." Wally spoke up "Hit the showers, we'll take it from here."

"Everyone, that's enough" I said to them "She had no idea what was going to happen. Neither did we. It was mistake but now we need to put that behind us and focus on stopping Mr. Twister from doing anymore damage."

Superboy was still angry about what Miss Martian but accepts we have more important things to worry about. He starts to walk away until he stops and looks at M'gann "Stay out of our way" he grunted before leaping into the air and into the distance to find Twister.

Wally ran at Super Speed. Robin began to run after him with Aqualad running as well. I just stayed behind with M'gann.

"I was just trying to be part of the team" Megan said while lowering her head. I feel sorry for her. This is a girl that'll become one hell of a hero in the future and here she is sulking about the fact that she made a mistake.

I kneel beside her and said "You are a part of the team"

She lifts her head and looks at me as I continue to talk

"Everyone makes mistakes M'gann. Even aliens and sidekicks make them. But it's because we make mistakes that we learn from them. By learning, we move forward and not let those mistakes weigh us down from doing what we need to do." I start to stand up and offer my hand. "Now are you going to let this mistake be the one that weighs you down or are you going to learn from this mistake and keep moving forward?"

I can see that her eyes are producing tears but they are not tears of sadness but tears of joy. Despite her mistake, I'm still trusting her to be better. She smiles and grabs my hand which was my opportunity to help her up. Once I do, she proceeds to hug me and says "Thank you"

I'm surprised by this act of affection for a moment but I hug her back and say "Always"

"Let's go help our friends" I said to her as we end the hug.

She wipes her eyes and says "Yea, let's go"

We enter the Bio-ship as I look to my watch "Friday, send the Mark 43 to the teams location."

"Understood Boss" Said Friday.

I look to M'gann and ask "Does this shop have a communications network?"

"Yes it does" Said M'gann

"Good" I said to her "We might need backup"

Three tornados rampaged through the bay destroying buildings, boats, sidewalks and injuring innocent people.

Boats carried by these tornados rained down on the park area barely missing bystanders.

One tornado went straight through a building completely leveling it. Another did the same to another building.

"Certainly this will get the required attention." Mr. Twister said out loud.

"You got ours. Full and undivided." Wally said as he rushed over to the android and hit its chest.

Kaldur, then, jumped in the air to attack from the front. Twister grabbed Kaldur by the leg and swung him around and threw him into Wally who, at five hundred miles an hour, flew through the air and landed at Twisters feet.

"Immaterial and insufficient; you are a distraction I can no longer tolerate." Mr. Twister told them.

Superboy came from the air planning to land on Twister but he moved aside and back handed the boy of steel into a tree.

While this is happening, M'gann and I are talking to Red Tornado on the Bio ship.

"The team could really use your help" she pleaded to him as the screen clearly showed Red Tornado not caring at all. But I know better

"If I were to intervene it would not be to help. Still it is an odd coincidence that this 'Twister' shares my elemental abilities as well as my immunity to telepathy." Red Tornado said.

"Hello Megan." M'gann said while snacking her head.

"I'm guessing you got a plan?" I ask her.

"I do and it going to go like this" she says to me and proceeds to tell me the plan. I internally grin because I already know of this plan but it's different when you actually hear it in person.

Twister lifted a boat out of the water and tossed it first into Superboy who fell back and was pinned to the ground for the time being. Kaldur and Robin jumped from the top of a warehouse and dodged around a tornado but Kaldur gets thrown into a nearby house.

Wally tries to run at Twister but is pushed away which gives Twister an opportunity to make a Tornado to chase after him. Robin sends some explosives to a nearby Tornado which dissipates it. He then throws some at Twister but he dodges and creates another Tornado to send the explosives away.

After that, Superboy frees himself from the boat wreckage and leaps at Twister hoping to get him. Unfortunately, Twister dodges and then summons a tornado right under the boy of steel spinning him into the air and flinging him into the air and away from battle. He also sends a Yacht in the same direction of Superboy.

Kaldur gets up from the house he crashed in and sees both Superboy and the boat coming toward him. He dodges as few seconds before they land. The impact destroyed the rest of the house. A discarded motor fell in front of Aqualad, who then picks it up and launches it at Twister. Twister was able to catch the machine with a miniature tornado in the palms of his hands and throws it away.

Wally and Robin had taken strategic cover behind a boat that had been tossed out of the water. Robin then unraveled his utility belt and slung it over his shoulder and across his chest.

"You brought your utility belt?" Wally asked looking between him and the fight.

"First lesson Batman taught me, never leave the house without it" Robin states

"Yeah right after never go to the bathroom without it" Wally chuckled.

'Listen to me' Megan spoke to the entire team telepathically 'all of you'

Kaldur gets thrown to the ground next to Superboy.

"What did we tell you?" Superboy growled at her.

'I know and I know I messed up, but I am very clear on what we have to do now' M'gann told the team.

'Let her talk' I said to them 'It's a good plan!'

"Alright, we are listening" Said Aqualad.

"Get back, everybody clear the area!" a cop yelled as he tried to move everyone away from the giant tornados tearing through the area.

As civilians ran for their lives, Red Tornado flew overhead and towards the battle field.

"Hit the showers boys" Red Tornado spoke as he landed in front of the heroes. "I was hoping you could handle this but clearly, you cannot."

"But we have a plan now!" Robin exclaimed as Red Tornado ignored him.

"The subject is not up for debate" the others lowered their heads and moved out of the way so the real fight could begin.

"I was beginning to believe you would never show up!" Twister shouted as Red Tornado showed no sign of emotion once again.

"This ends, here and now" Red Tornado put a hand behind him and summoned a tornado and directed it at Mr. Twister who dodged and countered with his own tornado.

The two forces of nature clashed until Red Tornado's was defeated and Twister's tornado headed straight for the android hero. Red Tornado put a hand out and dispersed the wind.

"We are evenly matched, Twister" Red Tornado put two hands behind his back summoning another tornado this time launching large rocks at Twister who chuckled.

"No Tornado, We. Are. Not." Twister punched the ground letting immense amounts of steam block the attack.

Twister summoned lightning and directed it at Tornado who dodged to the left.

Unfortunately, this caused the lightning to hit a collapsed boat igniting the gas and causing an explosion that knocked Red Tornado to the ground.

"Remain still android." Twister said as he extended his hand to the collapsed Red Tornado and allowed wire like devices to extend from his finger tips and connect to the androids head. "The reprogramming won't take long."

Suddenly, Red Tornado's head shifted to that of Megan's. "Longer than you might think."

"No" Twister mumbled as M'gann pushed him back with telekinesis which sends him into a Tornado made by Wally that hurls him towards Superboy. Superboy then proceeds to punch Twister several times causing more damage to him than he already was. With one final punch, Twister is pushed into the sea where a shirtless Aqualad swims towards him with amazing speed and hits Twister in the chest with a metal axe. He proceeds to charge the axe with electricity causing a explosion that sends Twister back to the surface with only one arm

M'gann telelkinetically lifts Twister in the air and rips off his other arm as well as his weapons. Robin then takes the opportunity to throw batarangs that explode. I then came from above wearing my armor and fire a powerful unibeam blast at Twister which sends him to the ground.

Twister gets up on his two knees as we form up in front of him. Twister's body opens up which reveals a man with brown hair and wearing a green and white battle suit.

"Foul. I.. I call foul" he says to us

We walk towards this man and once we get close, M'gann looks at me and I nod, giving her a green light to finish the plan.

She nods make and then lifts up a nearby boulder. She sends it straight toward the man. Aqualad tried to stop her "M'gann NO!" But her was too late.

The boulder crushes the man instantly. Everyone, besides me and M'gann, are shocked at what just happened.

"Don't know how things are done on Mars but on earth we don't execute our captives" Robin says angrily at M'gann.

"It has to be done Robin" I told him

He looks at me with a stunned look "You knew she was going to do that and you didn't stop her?"

I look back him and said "You should pay more attention to the details."

Before Robin could say more, M'gann grabs his attention and says "I thought you said you trust me?" With a smile on her face.

She lifts up the boulder which reveals that the man was a machine "That's why I couldn't read his mind"

Wally kneels before the machine and takes on the machines eyes "Cool, souvenir" with a smile on his face.

"The rest of us should've had more faith in you" Said Aqualad as he puts an arm on M'ganns shoulders. She smiles at him in thanks.

"Yea, you really rocked this mission. Get it, rock" chuckles Wally.

I shake my head and sigh "That was just horrible Kid"

I look at the machine and hack it's systems to end the recording feed that I know is there. I just love pissing off villains especially ones trying to find their children.

We head back to the cave bringing with us the remains of the android inside the Twister armor. We laid it out on a table as Red Tornado stood with the us.

"This thing was designed to kill you" I said to him

"Is that why you wouldn't help us?" Megan asked.

"No, this was your battle. I do not believe it is my role to solve your problems for you as you shouldn't not solve my problems for me" Red Tornado said to them.

"But, if you're in danger-" M'gann started to say but was interrupted.

"Consider this matter closed" Red Tornado turned to leave dismissing them all.

"Batman, Aquaman, Wonder Woman, and Flash, they would've jumped right in to fix things." Wally commented.

"I guess if we're gonna have a baby sitter, a heartless machine is exactly what we need" Robin pointed out.

"Inaccurate." Red Tornado turned around again."I have a heart; carbon steel alloy."

He turned his head for just a second "I also have excellent hearing" he turned and left the room without another word.

"Right, sorry" Robin responded. "I'll try to strive to be more accurate."

"And more respectful" says Aqualad

"Let's leave him be for now guys" I said to them "this is a family issue and he wants to do it alone"

"Family issue?" asks Wally "What are you talking about?"

"This android was made specifically to destroy one person. It could've been sent to kill another member of the league but this one was looking for Red Tornado. I think the main reason it was here was to draw him out and find out where he was located. Killing him would've been a secondary objective. So that leads the question of who might want to find him." I deduced the situation. I knows it cheating to make such accurate assumptions because of watching a tv show of this world but I don't care it makes me badass.

Robin finally realizes what I'm suggesting and says "Dr. Morrow"

"Correct" I say to him "But we should let this go for now. This is something Red Tornado must handle until he either asks for our help or when we feel it's time for us to act."

They nod and Kaldur, Wally and Robin start to leave

"Speedy was so wrong." Wally said.

"This team thing…" Robin started

"Might just work." Kaldur finishes

M'gann, Superboy and myself are the last to leave. Superboy looks to M'gann and just says "Sorry" right before he leaves with the others. She smiles at his apology.

Now it's just me and her. I look to her with a smile and said "See, he doesn't hate you. He's just lost but we will help find his way."

She nods "I know and thank you for still trusting me even though I made a mistake."

"You don't have to thank me." I told her "We are a team. We stick together no matter what, even when we make mistakes."

She hugs me for a second time as a way of saying thanks. I hug her back and we stay like this for a few minutes. As the hug ends, we look at each other's eyes as if we are gazing into each other's souls. Pretty soon we realized how close our faces were to each other and then separate quickly with blushes on both of our faces.

"Well, umm.. thanks again" M'gann said as she tries to bring down her blush.

"Anytime" I said to her as I'm trying to do the same.

"Hey" I call out to her before she leaves "if you want, we can talk to each other telepathically on occasion. I know that you said that's it's a normal thing in Mars but not so on earth. But I'm willing to try to make you as comfortable as possible when you're on Earth should you feel comfortable doing so."

"Really" M'gann says excitingly. I nod my head in confirmation.

Then, she links our minds together and I hear her say "Thank you" repeatedly while jumping up and down. It's an interesting experience, talking with your mind rather than your own mouth. It's gonna take some getting use to but it pretty convenient in hindsight.

We then say our good nights and head back to our quarters to prepare for the adventures of tomorrow.

Ok, Chapter 4 is done. Seems like David and M'gann are getting closer than Superboy and her did. I think at some point in the Young Justice canon, Superboy allows M'gann to be inside his head once they were a confirmed couple. I figured of doing this before David and M'gann become one as well.

I'm also thinking of a way of adding a Flashback scenario when Artemis gets introduced to the team. I'm thinking of having David and Artemis meeting each other before her initiation to the team, to explore how they met and the relationship between them.

As a response to one of the reviews that said that telling Batman and Robin that he is reincarnated to this world was stupid. I can see why you think that but if you think about it, David only told this two about his death and coming here. He hasn't told the league nor given Batman permission to do so yet because he doesn't want their pity. He also didn't tell Batman everything about the fact that they were comic book characters in his world. He's keeping that close to the chest because he doesn't know how they would react with such knowledge. I mean that's what I hoped to convey anyway.

Let me know what you think of the chapter and what you would like to expect to know for the flashback for David and Artemis. What do you think their relationship was before meeting again on the team. I do plan to do lemons between David and his harem members but that won't happen until future chapters.

Thanks again. This is me signing out.
