(Opening ends)
The door to the cave opened and the team walked out. They were all dressed in swimsuits as they looked out at the ocean with smiles and anticipation.
"Hello, Megan," The Martian said cheerfully. "We should hit the beach every day,"
"First a moment of silence for our absent comrade," Robin said in mock sadness. The Miss Martian looked down in sadness while Kaldur shook his head.
"Poor Wally," Miss Martian said sadly. Naruto looked over at Superboy with a raised eyebrow but the clone merely shrugged.
"Now!" Robin said loudly moving on from the silence. "Let's hit the beach," Then he ran towards the water. The others quickly followed his lead.
They ran into the water and Naruto immediately went under. He looked around and saw fish of all sizes and shapes swimming around. He smiled.
'Looks like I found another food source,' He thought happily.
As the day went the young heroes tried to make most of the day.
Naruto and Superboy glared at Kaldur as the three sat underwater trying to see who could hold their breath the longest. Kaldur looked at them with a smirk.
Damn his gills!
The two glared at each other. They refused to be the first one to go up. But eventually the succumbed to the lack of oxygen and they both went up for air. Kaldur chuckled lightly and soon followed them.
At some point they had a chicken fight as Kaldur held up Naruto and Superboy held Robin while Miss Martian cheered for all of them.
They splashed water at each other for fun. Superboy smirked as he got an idea. He added his super strength and sit a large wave at Naruto sending the blonde back. The others looked on in shock while Superboy smirked.
Naruto floated through the water with a tic mark. 'Oh so that's how you wanna play it,'
He activated his ring.
"Hey Superboy!" he shouted. Superboy turned to look at the others. "How about this!"
Then he swung his arm around and Superboy looked in shock as Naruto had created a giant scooper that gathered up water and sent it at him. He was sent to the shore but he got up quickly.
He leapt into the air and did a cannon ball near Naruto and Robin splashing the both.
"Super water fight!" Robin shouted and threw a few shuriken into the water that exploded sending water upward causing a geyser sending Miss Martian and Kaldur into the air before landing back into the ocean.
"Oh yeah," Megan said. She focused her powers and water began splashing all the boys in the face.
The others countered with their own water attacks as well as they splashed each other.
"Hey?" Naruto said. "Where's Kaldur,"
As if on cue the atlantean appeared out of the water.
On top of a giant whirlpool that was rising.
"Sorry but in terms of water," He began. "I have the advantage," Then he sent the wave towards the other.
"Oh no you don't!" Naruto shouted as he created another scoop even bigger then the last and created his own wave. The two water attacks met head on consuming all of them within it.
When the waves calmed down the others were washed ashore. Naruto got up first and looked at the others as they got up as well. They glared at each other slightly before they all started laughing.
It was a good day at the beach.
YJYJYJYJYJ
After the fun came to an end Batman called them for a meeting.
When they all arrived in their usual outfits they were met with Batman, Green Arrow and someone else.
"Oh hey speedy," Naruto said.
"I'm not speedy!" The young archer said.
"Oh you're not," Naruto said. He looked over at Robin. "He said that's what your name was,"
"No I didn't!" Robin defended.
"Yes you did," Naruto retorted. "When I told you about the archer that helped me you called her speedy,"
"Wait she's the one who helped you?" Miss Martian asked.
"Yeah," Naruto nodded in confirmation.
"Oh," Robin said and there was a small amount of disappointment in his voice. He had really hoped his friend was watching out for them when he could.
"So you still not all there in the head or what?" The female archer asked Naruto.
"Still don't know what that means?" Naruto answered.
"That answered my question," She said with a chuckle.
"So can I have an arrow now,"
"I already gave you one," Artemis said.
"Kid Flash took it," Naruto grumbled.
"Well I'll have him give it back to me since it's my arrow," The girl said.
"Then you'll give it to me," Naruto asked.
"Probably not,"
Naruto bent down in sadness.
"The wall-man is here!" A voice said. The others turned to see Wally run in with beach stuff. He had an excited look on his face. "Now let's get this party star- Unh!" He began but tripped over himself. He looked up and came face to face with the others in uniform. "Ted," He finished sadly realizing what was about to happen."Wall-man, huh?" The green archer scoffed. "I love the uniform," She said sarcastically. "What exactly are your powers?"
"Oh he can run really fast," Naruto explained.
"Uh, who's this?" The young speedster asked getting up.
"Artemis, your new teammate," The girl introduced.
"Kid Flash," Wally introduced.
"Wait your Kid Flash," Artemis asked rhetorically.
"Yeah," Wally confirmed. Artemis stared at him for a moment.
"…I don't believe you," She said with straight face. Wally sputtered.
"That's what I said," Naruto said looking at Artemis. The girl looked over at him and gave a light smile.
"Well believe it," Wally shot back. "And I've never heard of you," He retorted.
"She's my new protégé," Green Arrow explained.
"What happened to your old one?" Kid Flash asked angrily.
"Recognized-Speedy, b06,"
"Well, for starters, he doesn't go by Speedy anymore," A gruff voice answered. "Call me Red Arrow," The team turned around to see Speedy walking over to them.
"Roy," Green Arrow greeted in surprise before smiling. "You look," He began.
"Replaceable," The Orange haired teen asked angrily.
"It's not like that," Green Arrow explained. "You told me you were going solo,"
"So why waste time finding a sub?" The red clad hero asked rhetorically. "Can she even use that bow?"
"Yes, she can," Artemis said with an edge in her voice.
"She's pretty good with it," Naruto added in looking over at Robin who nodded on agreement remembering the headshot at Amazo.
"Who are you?" Kid Flash asked the female archer
"Artemis," Naruto said. "Weren't you listening,"
"You stay out of this," Kid Flash said pointing at the blonde lantern.
"I'm/She's his niece," Artemis and Green Arrow said at the same time.
"Another niece?" Robin scoffed with a smirk.
"But she is not your replacement," Kaldur said walking over to his friend. "We have always wanted you on the team," He explained. Then he looked at both of them. "And we have no quota on archers," He wanted to make Artemis feel welcome.
"And if we did, you know who we'd pick," Wally said looking at him.
"Whatever, Baywatch," Artemis muttered. "I'm here to stay,"
"I'd pick her," Naruto said.
"Dude!" Kid Flash said looking over at Naruto.
"What I would," Naruto answered with a shrug.
"You came to us for a reason," Kaldur said getting the conversation back on track.
"Yeah," Row said. "A reason named Dr. Serling Roquette," He explained pulling her up on the holo-screen.
"Nanorobotics genius and claytronics expert at royal university in star city," Robin spoke up looking over the file on the screen. "Vanished 2 weeks ago,"
"Abducted 2 weeks ago by the league of shadows," Red Arrow corrected.
"Whoa," Kid Flash said.
"You want us to rescue her from the shadows?" Robin asked with excitement in his voice.
"Hard-core," Kid Flash said ecstatically.
"I already rescued her," Red Arrow said shooting down their expectations. "Only one problem," He continued as he pulled up a machine onto the screen. "The shadows had already coerced her into creating a weapon," He explained. "Doc calls it the fog, comprised of millions of microscopic robots, nanotech infiltrators capable of disintegrating anything in their path- concrete, steel, flesh, bone,"
The others understood the implication of those last two.
"But its true purpose isn't mere destruction," Roy continued. "It's theft. The infiltrators eat and store raw data from any computer system and deliver the stolen intel to the shadows providing them access to weapons, strategic defense, cutting-edge science and tech," He finished.
"Perfect for extortion, manipulation, power broking," Artemis began listing off before narrowing her eyes. "Yeah sounds like the shadows,"
"Like you know anything about the shadows," Kid Flash mocked. Her response was to give him a sly smile that unnerved him.
"Who are you?!" He asked frustrated.
"Artemis," Naruto said again. "Are you not paying attention?"
The speedster glared at him.
"Roquette's working on a virus to render the fog inert," Red Arrow explained.
"But if the shadows know she can do that," Kaldur said slowly and the archer nodded.
"They'll target her," He turned back to the screen and pulled up a picture of a school. "Right now, she's off the grid. I stashed her at the local high school's computer lab,"
"Ugh why a school," Naruto groaned.
"Got a problem with where I put her," Red Arrow challenged.
"Considering I just got tossed around by a copycat robot a couple days ago in a school," Naruto began. "Then yeah I'd say I do," Superboy grunted in agreement while Artemis simply smiled holding in her laughter.
"Wait you left her alone?" Green Arrow asked as the words kicked in.
"She's safe enough for now," The young archer said with a shrug.
"Then let's you and I keep her that way," Green Arrow suggested taking a chance. "You and I?" Red Arrow looked up at his former mentor and a part of him was tempted to go along with it. Despite how he left he still cared for his friend. But he couldn't. He couldn't take a step backwards.
"Don't you wanna take your new protégé?" He asked. Green Arrow looked down sadly. Batman put a hand on his shoulder and he looked at the Dark Knight. Then he gained a serious face in understanding.
"You brought this to the team," He said. "It's their mission, which means it's hers now, too,"
"Then my job's done," Red Arrow said. Then he walked over to the zeta tube.
"Recognized—Speedy-" The computer began.
"That's Red Arrow, b06," Red Arrow corrected. "Update," Then in a red flash he was gone.
The others watched him leave. The three original sidekicks looked sad at his leave.
Naruto turned to Artemis.
"So," He began gaining her attention. "You ever watch Power Rangers?"
Artemis looked over at him with a smirk.
"Ninja Storm for life,"
Naruto's smile just got bigger.
YJYJYJYJYJ
The team had met up with Roquette at the school.
"Miss Martian, link us up," Kaldur ordered. 'We do not want the shadows intercepting our com,' He said in his mind after feeling the link. "Everyone online?"
'Ohh,' Artemis groaned as she looked around. 'This is weird,'
"And distracting," The blonde doctor grumbled out. 'Coding a distributive algorithm virus on a kiddie computer with less ram than a wristwatch is hard enough,' She ranted. 'Now I have to hear teen-think in my skull?'
'I understood half of that,' Naruto said.
'Let me guess the last part,' Artemis said.
'Yeah!' Naruto agreed.
'Lady, do you always complain when someone tries to help you?' Kid Flash asked.
'Pot, kettle,' Artemis said looking at Kid Flash then Roquette. 'Have you met?'
'Hey, I do not need attitude from the newbie who drove Red Arrow off the team,' Kid Flash accused.
'That is so not on me,' Artemis argued back.
'Fate of the world at stake,' The doctor yelled getting their attention.
'She started it,' Kid Flash accused.
'What are you three,' Artemis accused. Then she sighed. 'How 'bout I just help Miss Martian and Superboy patrol the perimeter?'
'Good idea,' Kaldur agreed. 'Your skills might be of better use out there for long distance,'
Artemis looked at him with a small smile. 'Yeah that's it,' Then she walked out.
After she walked out Naruto smacked the speedster on the back of the head.
"Ow!" Kid Flash shouted before glaring at the lantern who simply glared right back.
'Be nice!' Naruto said simply.
'Why are you so chummy with her,' Kid Flash accused.
'She helped me,' Naruto said simply. 'Nothing brings two people closer together then killer robot monkeys,'
'Tch whatever,' Kid Flash said.
'You might cut her some slack,' Robin agreed. 'It was her arrow saved your butt against Amazo,'
'What?' Kid Flash asked. 'No, that was Speedy's- I mean Red Arrow's Arrow, right?'
'Not so much,' Robin explained.
'Speaking of she said to give me the arrow,' Naruto added.
'As if,' Kid Flash said looking at Naruto. 'And I'm still not giving her the satisfaction,'
'You know I can still hear you,' Artemis pointed out through the link.
'Dangit!' Kid Flash said out loud.
'And that arrow was meant for Naruto so give it to him,'
'What!'
'HA!'
'I couldn't get the justice league,' Roquette muttered.
'The virus won't be of much use if we cannot find the weapon,' Aqualad pointed out. 'Can you track it?'
'My utility fog is not a weapon,' She defended angrily. 'It's science, brilliant science, and of course I can track it, but I'd have to go online,' She explained. 'Might as well rent a billboard with this address and "assassinate me" written in neon,' She ranted.
Aqualad looked at the blonde woman and put a hand on her shoulder.
'I'm sorry if I offended,' Aqualad apologized. 'But as long as it's in the shadows hands it is a weapon,' He explained. 'I understand that you are in a fearful situation but rest assured we will protect you,' He finished with a small smile. Roquette looked at the atlantean before sighing. She typed something into the computer.
"Tracking the fog now,"
YJYJYJYJYJ
A man was on a plane getting ready to go to his next destination when his computer went off. He looked over at it and realized what the alert was. He pressed a button and a screen in the wall turned up revealing an older man in a meditative stance.
"Roquette has surfaced to track us,' The man explained. "But that link's a 2-way street. Sending her location now,"
The older man looked at the message he received. He turned to one of his servants.
"Who do we have near Happy Harbor, Rhode Island?" He asked.
YJYJYJYJYJ
Superboy landed next to Artemis and Miss Martian and began walking away. He had heard something.
'Mmm, that boy,' Artemis in a sultry tone.
Superboy turned to look at her weirdly.
'He can hear you,' Miss Martian said anger in her voice. 'We can all hear you,'
'Oh, I know,' Artemis said nonchalantly.
'Miss Martian, Dr. Roquette has located the fog,'Aqualad said. 'Reconfigure the bioship so that Robin and Superboy can pursue,'
Miss Martian focused on her bioship and a moment later it landed.
'Ready,' She confirmed.
Superboy and Robin ran out of the school and headed towards the bioship. After they entered the ship took off.
Artemis and Miss Martian looked on as the ship left before they returned to their posts. Neither seeing the two figures in the shadows.
'You embarrassed Superboy,' Miss Martian accused the archer.
'Didn't hear him say that,' Artemis retorted.
'Must you challenge everyone?' The Martian asked angrily.
'Where I come from, that's how you survive,'
So caught up in their argument neither noticed the figure that got passed them.
YJYJYJYJYJ
Kid Flash was standing outside the room as when he saw a shadow. He walked towards it as it disappeared around the hall. When he reached it he saw at the end of the hall once again seeing it as it disappeared. He followed once again to see it enter the pool room.
Tired of missing the shadow the speedster sped forward. This proved to be his downfall as on the ground were black beads that the speedster slipped over hitting the floor hard.
As he slowly got up his face was met with a foot knocking him unconscious. The figure looked down at the unconscious teen and kicked him into the pool. Then it ran off heading towards its destination.
YJYJYJYJYJ
Dr. Roquette typed away at her computer as Aqualad walked around her.
A figure in the shadows waited for his back to be turned. Then it threw a shuriken towards the Doctor.
"Doctor, get down!" Aqualad shouted as he leapt in the way of the projectile.
The figure was going to try and stick to the shadows but someone grabbed her.
"Found you," Naruto said with a smirk before throwing them. The attacker caught themselves in the air and landed on their feet. They landed on their feet and stood up slowly. From their figure it was clear it was a woman. They were wearing a dark green colored kimono, with rips on the outer edges. The kimono was tied around her waist, where its length reached just above her knees. Her legs were covered with black knee-high boots.
On her face was a white mask, resembling a cat's head with red stripes and a wide grin. Around it was a mane of unkempt thick black hair.
"Hmm," She said as she pulled out two sais "I didn't even see you, impressive," She complimented
"Thank you," Naruto commented
"Especially wearing that,"
"Hey what's wrong with my uniform?!" Naruto shouted before Aqualad ran in front of him and attacked the masked fighter.
"That shuriken hurt?" She asked rhetorically as she blocked his water swords and attempted to stab him.
"Atlantean skin is quite dense," Aqualad said simply as he blocked the stabbed and slashed his other sword at her causing her to back up.
"And my shuriken are quite poisonous," She commented back before she back flipped away.
'Naruto stay near Roquette and create a barrier,' Aqualad ordered.
'M'gann, Kid, Artemis,' Aqualad called out through the link. 'We are under attack in the computer lab,'
YJYJYJYJYJ
'On our way,' Artemis said as she ran with Miss Martian behind her.
Suddenly Miss Martian gasped and turned around. She flew into the pool area and saw Kid Flash unconscious. She lifted him out and set him down.
YJYJYJYJYJ
Kaldur landed on the floor near the two blondes.
The assassin threw a shuriken at the barrier but it simply bounced off
"Well that's just not fair," She muttered before blocking an attack from the now recovered Aqualad.
"Poison slowin' you down?" She mocked as the two clashed again and tried to overpower each other.
"Jellyfish toxin," Aqualad said recognizing the poison. "I'm largely immune," The masked assassin head butted the atlantean when she realized she was going to lose in a contest of strength.
"Largely," The assassin said as she got ready to stab the downed hero. Naruto got ready to deactivate the barrier but someone beat him to it.
Clang!
"Uugn!" The assassin grunted out as her sai was shot out of her hand with an arrow. She turned to see Artemis aiming her bow at her ready to fire again.
"Don't move," She said with narrowed eyes.
"Heh," The assassin chuckled. "This gig's getting interesting," She said pulling out a collapsible sword.
'Oh that's cool!' Naruto said through the link looking at the sword. 'Artemis get her sword!'
"Easier said than done," Artemis said. Every arrow she fired the assassin easily deflected it with her sword. When got ready to pull out another arrow but realized she had one more left.
Seeing this the assassin reacted by throwing shuriken at the archer. Artemis got ready to dodge but Kid Flash ran in and grabbed the shuriken and threw them back. The assassin dodged and observed her surroundings.
She was surrounded.
"Maybe a little too interesting," She said as the heroes closed in on her. "Good thing I brought my own backup,"
Naruto saw it before everyone else. He realized instantly what was about to happen.
'Protect Roquette!' Naruto shouted threw the link at Kaldur. He dropped the barrier and the Atlantean could only do what the blonde said as he leapt forward forcing Aqualad to create a water shield around the doctor similar to the one Naruto had made.
Naruto turned mid-air and held out his ring just as the lighting struck through the window and nearly hit the ground in front of Artemis and the others. His ring absorbed the blast but the assassin took that as her cue to run.
Naruto got up and looked towards the direction had come from. He narrowed his eyes but couldn't help the smile that formed on his face.
'Sasuke,'
YJYJYJYJYJ
'Naruto,'
The lightning user looked at Naruto with a smile full of bloodlust.
"Friend of yours,"
Sasuke looked to see Cheshire landing next to him.
"No," He answered seriously. "Just a challenge,"
"Still can't believe he snuck up on me in bright orange," She muttered. "I'm going to call in a few allies to help,"
"Do what you want," Sasuke said with a shrug. "But the orange one is mine,"
"Oh I didn't know you were possessive," The assassin teased. "I'm jealous,"
"Tch," Sasuke answered simply before walking off.
YJYJYJYJYJ
"She's getting away! You're letting her get away!" Kid Flash yelled looking over at Artemis "This is all your fault! You were on perimeter! How'd that Shadow get in?!" He shouted accosting her with multiple questions. Artemis narrowed her eyes and sneered at the speedster.
"How'd she, get past you," Naruto retorted looking at the speedster. "You were supposed to be watching the halls,"
"And that's not really fair," Miss Martian said coming to her defense as well. "I was outside, too,"
"Outside being distracted by her," He tried to defend. "Besides, I can't be mad at you," He said smiling at the Martian.
'You gave me mouth-to-mouth,' He explained through the link.
'We heard that!' Everyone yelled.
"Dang it!" Kid Flash huffed remembering they were still linked up.
"What's mouth-to-mouth?" Naruto asked. Miss Martian walked over to Artemis and gave a reassuring smile.
"I didn't do half as well during my first battle," She said. "And I know you can't have been Green Arrow's sidekick for very long," Artemis looked at her but simply nodded in understanding.
"Focus, everyone," Kadur said. "The shadows will be back,"
"Robin to Aqualad," Robin said speaking into their coms.
YJYJYJYJYJ
"We're over Philadelphia," Robin said. "We've located the shadows' next target, Star Labs,"
He looked up to see a building crumble to the ground.
"We're too late," He said as he and Superboy watched in horror at the destruction. "It's destroyed, totally destroyed," Robin continued "The fog decimated it,"
"This is bad," The boy wonder continued looking over at the kryptonian. "Star Labs is cutting-edge science, and now their secrets are in the hands of the enemy," He continued. "What's our next move?"
YJYJYJYJYJ
"Rescan for that fog and find it," Aquald ordered. "We're moving the Doctor,"
"Before that?" Robin spoke up once again, "Can you send us Naruto," The boy wonder requested. "With his constructs we can contain the fog in a barrier. And we can have him recover the data with his ring,"
"That's going to be a negative," Aqualad said. "We need Naruto due to the assassins the shadows sent and something tells me they're going to be back with more allies,"
"Then what do you suggest," Robin asked. "We can't let the Shadows have that information to themselves and I doubt anyone in Star labs remembers everything they had stored there,"
Robin was right. Sending Naruto was a smart play but so was keeping him here. And if that lightning user was there then Naruto was the only one who could really counter his lightning.
Damnit what should he do!
"I have a suggestion,"
Aqualad looked over at Naruto and noticed the grim look on his face.
"But for this to work you have to listen to my instructions very carefully," He said.
"NO!"
"What the hell was that!" Artemis shouted in shock.
"Oh great," Kid Flash muttered realizing what it was. Naruto's ring began glowing and Larfleeze appeared.
"I will not allow this!" The phantom shouted.
"You can't stop me!" Naruto argued back angrily. "And we don't have much of a choice,"
The two glared at each other intensely.
"Do not blame me if you end up killing one of them," Larfleeze said before he disappeared.
"What did he mean by that?" Aqualad asked. "What are you planning,"
Naruto sighed before he lifted his ring to his face. "Level 1 Deputization sequence activate,"
"Deputization active" The ring spoke.
"Activate nearest deactivated ring," Naruto said. "Deputize Robin and Schtako,"
YJYJYJYJYJ
Back in the cave in Naruto's room an orange ring was set on a shelf. It began glowing before floating.
"Level 1 Deputization sequence activate,"
"Locating Deputies Robin and Schtako," Then the ring flew out of the room and headed straight for Philadelphia.
YJYJYJYJYJ
"Ring activated" The ring on Naruto's hand indicated. Naruto nodded before speaking into the com once again.
"Robin my ring is heading towards you guys," Naruto explained.
"What?!" The boy wonder asked not really believing what he heard.
"I'll explain later," Naruto said. "But I need you to listen,"
"Ok," Robin answered.
"The ring will listen to anything you tell it," He explained. "So when you get to the fog you can use it to analyze and copy all of the information it took,"
"That's great!" Kid Flash said. "But what ring? Yours is still on your finger,"
"The one I found when I met you guys,"
"Oh yeah the one from Cadmus," Kid Flash said. Naruto nodded
"Great when it gets here one of will put it on and-," Robin began.
"NO!" Naruto shouted. "Under no circumstances are you to touch the ring do you understand,"
"Why?" Robin asked.
"Just trust me on this," Naruto said dodging the question. "Do not touch it under any circumstances," Robin didn't say anything for a moment over the com.
"Ok I understand,"
"Good," Naruto said. "What's our next move," He asked looking over at the team leader.
"Now we move" Aqualad answered simply.
YJYJYJYJYJ
The team relocated to a nearby coffee shop. Aqualad and Naruto were stationed outside while Artemis and Kid Flash were in the store with Roquette.
'Stop it,' Aqualad said through the link.
'What?' Kid Flash and Artemis asked at the same time.
'We can hear you guys glaring at each other,' Naruto answered as he sat on the roof. 'It's really weird. Like a constant buzzing sound,'
"Miss Martian, stay in camouflage mode and make a wide perimeter sweep," Aqualad said out loud as he moved to another tree.
He looked around when he felt something on his shoulder. Before he could react he was pulled up into the tree.
He tried to defend himself as the assailant attacked him but they had caught him completely off guard. A moment later he found himself flying towards a truck and hitting it.
Naruto seeing the atlantean in danger got ready to go at him but he was halted when a lightning bolt passed in front of him. He turned to see Sasuke across the roof staring him down.
YJYJYJYJYJ
Cheshire landed down next to Hook and Black Spider as they looked down at the unconscious atlantean.
"The martian could return any second and I'm not keen on evening their odds," She said. "We end Roquette now,"
"What about the new guy," Hook grunted out.
"He'll deal with the lantern," Cheshire said. "Seems they have some unfinished business," The two assassins nodded in understanding. "Let's get to work,"
YJYJYJYJYJ
Naruto dodged as Sasuke shot another black lightning bolt at him. After dodging he shot orange energy that the assassin dodged easily. He began charging energy threw his body and charged forward.
Naruto created an orange armor for his arms and boots and ran at Sasuke and the two began fighting close range.
Sasuke leapt into the air and attempted to drop kick him. Naruto countered by uppercutting his left fist colliding creating a small shock wave. Naruto left gauntlet was destroyed in the process. Then he spun around doing a backwards roundhouse into Sasuke's side.
Sasuke quickly recovered and sent another black bolt towards the orange lantern. Naruto lifted his right leg up taking the hit destroying the armor on his leg.
Taking a chance Sasuke leapt forward and sent a kick towards Naruto's face but the blonde deflected the hit. Both spun once and sent their fist's towards each other once again cross countering each other. When their armored and electrical stimulated fists hit their marks they were sent flying.
Sasuke rolled on the ground and recovered while Naruto caught himself mid-air.
"So you got a better name then Ion?" Naruto asked as he stared the raven haired boy down.
"Not yet," Sasuke answered. "It's still better than Orange Lantern though"
"It's what I am," Naruto defended.
"Doesn't change the fact that the name sucks," Sasuke retorted back.
"Frak you, you shizno" Naruto bit back. Then the two charged back at each other.

"The next target's a Waynetech facility," Robin said as they saw the building. "In theory, its systems software could be used to hack the," The boy wonder stopped realizing he wasn't the only one in the ship.
"The what?" Superboy asked looking at him.
"Doesn't matter," Robin answered quickly. "What matters is Waynetech operates a 24-hour workforce. We'll never evacuate the building in time," He said.
That's when something blipped on the radar. It was heading towards them.
"That must be Naruto's ring," Superboy said. "Open the back hatch," Robin nodded and the hatch opened and the ring flew in.
Temporary deputies Robin and Schtako found.
Superboy growled at the name he was given.

"You'll never find Dr. Roquette," Miss Martian said staring down Cheshire.
The assassins had tried to create a distraction while Cheshire attempted to kill the doctor from the window.
Too bad the doctor had actually been Miss Martian in disguise.
"Nevers such a long time," Cheshire said looking at the Martian. "Pursuing target, keep 'em busy," She ordered before running off.
Miss Martian attempted to follow but was stopped when Hook launched his metal arm towards her.
"Pursuing their leader," Artemis shouted as she ran after the masked assassin. "Take the rest down," She said as she ran past Kid Flash.
"You are so not the boss of me," The speedster shouted glaring at the retreating blonde.
"Just do it!" She shouted over her shoulder.
When Cheshire reached the truck she saw that Aqualad was gone.
"Oh, I do not like being played," She grumbled out. She looked at the roof and while she couldn't see Sasuke or the lantern she could she flashing lights.
"At least one of us is enjoying themselves," She said as she activated a thermal scanner in her mask and followed the red feat on the ground.
Artemis turned the corner and saw Cheshire a good distance away. She aimed her arrow and fired. Cheshire turned around and deflected the arrow destroying it midair.
"I was hoping it'd be you,"
Artemis gave chase and eventually the two ended up on the roof of a building.
Artemis shot off another that hit the wall next to the masked assassin. Suddenly it released a gas near her face.
"Uhh!" She groaned out before falling over. Artemis approached her downed opponent slowly. When she was closer Cheshire spun on her back and kicked the archer.
"Mask has built-in filters," She said getting back on her feet. Artemis atemoted to subdue her but the Cheshire was ready. She pinned the Archer easily.
"Better luck next time, kid," The assassin said before knocking her out.
She turned around to continue towards her destination but was stopped when an orange blast hit the ground in front of her.
"Sorry try again," Naruto said from the air as he stared the assassin down.
"So you beat lightning boy," Cheshire observed.
"Like hell he did,"
Cheshire turned to see Sasuke landed next to her.
"He just ran off when he saw you," Sasuke explained.
"Oh I didn't realize I had a fan," Cheshire said. "Maybe I'll take you out some time,"
"Take me out where?" Naruto asked.
"You know make the beast with two backs," She said seductively.
"Oh frak that!" Naruto shouted. "I've met one of those things no thank you,"
Cheshire and Sasuke looked at the lantern weirdly.
"You're not all there in the head are you?" Cheshire asked.
"Huh she said the same thing," Naruto said looking at the unconscious archer. Then he attacked.
"Keep going," Sasuke said as he shot off another lightning strike forcing Naruto to dodge. "He won't get by me again,"
Cheshire nodded and continued towards her target.
Sasuke and Naruto eyed each other. Then Sasuke leapt into the air and Naruto dived down. They sent their fists at each other but they dodged by moving their heads slightly as their heads collided.

"It's downloading!" Robin shouted as he saw Roquettes programming getting uploaded.
Superboy looked down and saw Ojo getting ready to activate the fog.
"Don't need it!" He shouted before jumping out of the bioship. The ring followed the clone.
"Superboy!" Robin called but was too late to stop the kryptonian.
Ojo looked up to see Superboy coming towards him. He scowled before activating his helmet and shooting a powerful blast at the kryptonian. Superboy took the whole attack and was blasted to the other side of the parking lot.
He turned and activated the fog. The cylinder opened and the nanites flew out and headed towards the Waynetech building.
"No!" Robin shouted before jumping out of the bioship and running into the building.
"What in the-" A security guard said as he watched the nanites fly past him. Then he saw Robin follow the fog. "Hey! You can't come in here!" He shouted but Robin ignored him. "Unauthorized entry!" He shouted into his walkie talkie.
Robin looked ahead of him and saw the security gates closing to prevent him from going farther into the building.
"Waynetech override, Archie 4," He shouted and the gates reversed.

Miss Martian dodged the giant hook as the assassin shot it at her over and over.
'Kid Flash, we need to end this now,' She said through the link.
Kid Flash sped around as he dodged the web like material black spider was shooting at him.
'It's like you read my mind, beautiful,' He commented before black spider managed get him. Kid Flash smirked. He began spinning at a rapid pace pulling the spider like assassin towards him. When he was close enough Kid Flash sent a snap kick at his temple knocking him out instantly.
"Yaah!" Miss Mrtian called out as she telekinetically reversed the hook as it came at her making it hit Hook instead. "Whoo hoo!" She cheered as her opponent fell, over unconscious. "I got mine," She looked over to Wally who was tied up.
"Great," He complimented. Then he looked down at himself. "Uh, little help?" He asked referring to him still being tied up.
YJYJYJYJYJ
"What's goin' on? What are you doing?" A teenage girl in a coffee shop shouted as she saw Robin run in.
He ignored her and attached a cable in his gauntlet into the computer. "Please be linked to the mainframe. Please be linked to the mainframe," he said repeatedly like a mantra as he typed something in.
YJYJYJYJYJ
Superboy dodged to the right as Ojo shot off another blast at him.
'Damnit hurry up,' He thought. The ring had snuck by Ojo and had attached itself too the cylinder as that's where all the data was stored. The issue was that since the nanites were taking data from Waynetech computers it was taking information as it was being delivered.
So until Roquette program was done then he was stuck. He was lucky that Ojo's beams didn't hurt.
He rolled to the side as another beam was shot at him.
Didn't mean they weren't annoying though.
YJYJYJYJYJ
"So you finished the virus, eliminating the reason for your elimination," Cheshire said walking over too Roquette. "Though not the entertainment value," She continued as she pulled out her sai.
She got ready to approach her but was stopped when Sasuke was flung through the window. He managed to recover and looked at Naruto.
Naruto got ready to attack but saw Aqualad unconscious and Cheshire heading towards Roquette. He flew past Sasuke and Cheshire and pulled Aqualad along the way. He activated a dome to protect them and eyed the two assassins.
"Come at me then!" Naruto shouted. "I'll take you both on!" He said confidently as he got ready to deactivate the dome and battle the two assassins.
Sasuke began charging a black bolt through his arms and got ready to fire. But he stopped when Cheshire held a hand up.
"As much as I love the thought of a threesome," Cheshire began causing Sasuke to glare at her and Naruto to look at her weirdly. "Are orders were very clear," She looked at Sasuke and nodded and the two prepared to leave.
"You live to program another day," Cheshire said, "After all, the shadows may find another use for you doctor," She finished ominously. Sasuke sent one last look towards Naruto before turning around.
Naruto was tempted to follow them but he couldn't risk Aqualad or the doctor's life. So he was forced to watch as the two walked out of the building and into the shadows.
YJYJYJYJYJ
"Yes!" Robin cheered as the nanites fell to the ground deactivated. "The infiltrators have been outfiltrated,"
YJYJYJYJYJ
Superboy rolled to the side once again. "Damnit how much longer he grunted," As if on cue the ring flew towards him.
"Scan completed it spoke,"
Superboy gave a wild grin.
"Perfect,"
Ojo fired off another beam and Superboy held his hand out. The beam pushed him back a few feet but he recovered and began walking forward. Ojo looked on in shock and could do nothing when Superboy grabbed his head causing the energy to backfire.
"Unh!" He shouted in pain after the helmet exploded. He fell, over unconscious. "That takes care of that," Superboy said. He reached up and grabbed the ring ignoring Naruto's earlier warning.
And the minute he did he felt this urge well up inside of him. It was almost overwhelming.
On instinct he dropped the ring and looked down at it. He took in a few breaths.
"What the hell was that," He muttered out as he looked down at the ring in apprehension.
YJYJYJYJYJ
Sasuke and Cheshire walked out of the building and were heading to the rendezvous point when a group of arrows were launched at the ground in front of them and exploded. The attack caused Cheshire's mask to fall off.
"Don't move a muscle," Artemis hissed as she aimed the two explosive arrows she had notched.
Sasuke turned his head slightly. Lighting began coursing through his right hand as he got ready to go on the attack.
"Wow," Cheshire said as she held her hand up indicating for Sasuke to stop. He glared at her but listened. "We are completely at your mercy," She said sarcastically as she stepped into the light. Artemis gasped at the face she saw.
"You," She whispered.
"I suppose now you bring us to justice and let your new friends interrogate us," Cheshire continued. "Though I'm more likely to talk about whatever and he's probably just going to stare them down," She continued. "But I wonder if your position's secure enough to survive them learning everything I know," She gave Artemis a knowing smile.
Artemis gritted her teeth in anger. Slowly she let her bow and arrow down.
"Didn't think so," Cheshire said smugly. "So like the Cheshire cat, I'll just disappear," She continued as she began walking away.
"Wait!" Artemis called. Cheshire looked at her over her shoulder. "Leave the sword,"
Cheshire looked at her with a raised eyebrow. Then she chuckled. She pulled out her collapsible sword and dropped it. Then she walked into the shadows disappearing.
"Tell the lantern to come up with a better name," Sasuke said staring at the archer. "And that it's two draws, next time it won't be," Then he too walked into the shadows disappearing. "Also tell the speedster to be more aware of his surroundings or else next time he might not be so lucky,"
Artemis waited for him to say something else but all she received was silent. She was alone.
"Artemis, where are the assassins?" Aqualad asked as Naruto supported him.
"They got away," Artemis answered quickly.
"Oh, from you?"
Oh great.
"Oh, big surprise," Kid Flash scoffed as he and Miss Martian showed up with two assassins in show. "Notice we got ours," He continued giving the archer a condescending look. Artemis glared at him.
"Weren't you knocked out by the same assassin without actually fighting her," Naruto pointed out causing the speedster to clamp his mouth shut. "Besides she managed to knock out Aqualad as well so you gonna mock him and me for letting the one I was fighting get away," Naruto asked.
"Well no but-" Kid Flash began.
"So why do it to her," Naruto asked. There wasn't anger in his voice just curiosity.
Kid Flash looked around and realized that while Naruto was curious Miss Martian and Aqualad were giving him stern looks. That's when he noticed the mask on the ground.
"Cool," He said changing the subject. "Souvenir," He continued picking it up. Naruto reached for it but the speedster moved his hand away. "This one's mine" He said.
"Her mask?" Aqualad said realizing what it was. "Did you see her, her face?"
"She stuck to the shadows," Artemis answered.
"It is fine," Aqualad said giving her a reassuring smile. "Robin and Superboy neutralized the fog, and Dr. Roquette is safe, thanks in no small part to you," He continued. "Welcome to the team,"
Artemis gave a small smile before she was suddenly brought into a hug by Miss Martian.
"I've always wanted a sister," Miss Martian said cheerfully. "Here on Earth, I mean, I have 12 back on Mars, but trust me, it's not the same,"
"I wouldn't know," Artemis answered diverting her eyes for a second. "But thanks,"
Kid Flash crossed his arms before remembering what Naruto asked earlier. He sighed.
"Yeah welcome," He said with a small smile holding his hand out.
"Alright get to the rendezvous point so Robin and Superboy can come pick us up," Miss Martian said and slowly the group made their way to the location.
Artemis looked over at Naruto who was glaring at Kid Flash.
"I want the mask," He growled.
"Don't worry about it," Artemis said. "I got you something better," She said as she tossed him the sword.
"Oh you got it!" Naruto cheered as his eyes turned to stars looking at the, weapon. He began flipping up and down making the sword appear and then collapsing it.
Artemis chuckled and the two walked in companionable silence.
"So," Naruto said as he walked next to Artemis putting his new possession away. "Nobody explained what mouth-to-mouth was,"
Artemis looked at him weirdly.
"Have you been raised on a different planet or something," She asked sarcastically.
"Yeah," Naruto answered.
"Wait seriously?!" Artemis asked not expecting that answer.
"Yeah I've been here for like a month,"
Artemis stared at him for a moment. Then she began laughing.
"You definitely are my mad hatter," She said between breaths.
"Your what?" Naruto asked but she didn't answer. She just slung an arm over Naruto's shoulder.
"So power rangers," She said.
"Wanna watch it with me," Naruto asked.
"Depends," She began. "Have you ever seen Alice in wonderland,"

AND DONE! This was fun to write. And we have our archer officially joining the team. I'm glad you guys aren't too disappointed with the lack of media references Naruto usually does. I felt this was more of a serious chapter since this was him protecting someone from being killed.
And we see our little lightning user once again alongside Cheshire. Wonder what that holds for the future. Will Naruto find a better name for himself.
Guest thank you for the alien word ideas. I've been working on a limited set. If any of you know some alien words I can use send them my way. I would love to expand his vocabulary.
Oh and the ominous feeling Superboy got from holding the ring for that brief moment. Wonder what's going to happen if more than one where's it.
