A/N: Wow it seems as if I haven't updated in forever and I'm really sorry for that. You have no idea how busy my life has become in the last few weeks. Next up is Kid Flash because I think our story needs to pick up speed. (This is the part where you laugh). Okay so R&R. Tell me what you think and who you want to be next.
Chapter 7
Kid Flash
We've been in our teams for about a week now. We sat at lunch together, did simulations together, hanged out together. Although I really wanted to be with Robin, Titans East was pretty cool. Our leader Bumblebee we learned pretty quickly that she doesn't take crap from anybody. Mas y Menos are speedsters too, except they have to be touching and… they only speak Spanish. Which is okay because it seems that most of the time there cracking jokes. Solstice was a bundle of light. Zatara was a sorcerous. Jinx…
Well I kinda maybe think I might like her. Which would turn out really badly if I told her, I might end up speaking backwards, again.
We were sitting at lunch, it was Tuesday. Yesterday Juvenile Justice was given a practice mission out in jump city. They took out a minor pick pocket and stopped a car crash on the highway. Headmaster Superman told us that the teams would compete for points. Yesterday earned Juvinile Justice two hundred more, putting them in the lead and us at the bottom. Today was our day. We would skip our afternoon classes once we were summoned.
"What do you think will happen?" Kid devil asked me.
"Um… we stop bad guys?" I tell him. "They don't want us going after mad mod or whatever, that's for seniors."
"Who gives a crap about seniors? We could beat them villains either way."
"Boys," Bumblebee warned. "Lunch is over get moving. Meet at the main offices in five minutes."
"I'll be there in a flash." I tell her and get to the offices ten seconds later. Everyone tinkles in. Mas y Menos are second to arrive.
Black Canary debriefed us on our mission. We were to scan the warehouse sector of the town due to an increase of property damage. It was simply to stake out. No fighting. As if that would stop us.
Two hours later we had almost searched the entire district and had come up empty handed. All we found was a few would be muggers, some really bad graphite and a very mad owner who came out screaming at us when we started looking through the dumpsters. Hey one man's trash is another man's treasure.
"Fifteen warehouses, thirty dumpsters and who knows how many allies, and we still find nothing." Zatara muttered to Jinx.
"That's bad luck." Jinx smirked at her own joke.
"Common y'all, we just have a few more. Then we can get back to the academy."
"Who said you'd be going back," asked a malicious voice from the shadows of a nearby alley. The world stopped. I felt like I couldn't move. We all knew that voice, from the news, the documentaries at school. Our teachers warned us about that voice. I looked around. Everyone else knew it too. Bumblebee motioned for us to be ready.
We heard cold, calculating footsteps. And out of the dark stepped Death stroke, Slade.
I heard the gasp of Kid Devil behind me. "That's her father?" He asked incuriously.
"Don't try to fight me. You're too inexperienced. Your leader knows that. All I want to do is talk."
"Fat chance Death stroke. Titans East Go!" Bumblebee got her stingers and started attacking at Slade. Solstice used her light. Everyone else snapped out of it at once. Despite it being nine to one, Slade somehow took us each down. Fists flew; a hit to the throat took out kid devil in mid springs. He shot Wildebeest when he was charging. Jinx managed to send him flying back and I took the advantage chasing him down. I ran him through a few walls. Until he crashed and dented the metal of that guys precious dumpster. I punched him in the mask and chest. He grabbed my arm and using my momentum against me flipped me into Mas y Menos.
"My, my looks like someone needs more practice." He said while fighting us off while we tried to regroup. "Inexperienced and young, why I feel almost insulted. Did the Justice League be too thinned out to send real heroes after me?"
"We are heroes!" I say and charge at him. He moves out of the way at the last second. Dang this guy was fast.
"A shrinking leader, three blundering speedsters-"
"Hey!" I yelled.
"- a beast, a kid with horns and a few okay sorceresses. I am so scared." He laughed. "Why, now are you ready to talk? Or do I have to break a few more bones before then?"
"You have three minutes." Bumblebee said. "Drop the guns."
He complied smirking. "Okay well first of all I just have to say you all are complete idiots. Second you are so inexperienced it makes me sick. Third say hi to my daughter for me because her birthdays coming up…"
"Talk Slade," Bumblebee put a stinger to his throat. "No more games."
"But I am talking. I have an apprentice. I have eyes everywhere. Oh and isn't this just one big game?" He reached into his pocket and brought out a smoke bomb. Bumblebee was thrown to the side. He melted into the shadows once again.
"This is bad" Bumblebee muttered nursing a sprained ankle. "Do you know what this means?"
Jinx nods. "He has a spy, a spy in the school."
"But who is it? Is it his daughter?" Wildebeest asked.
"Whoever it is, is going to pay." Bumblebee leaned on solstice for support. "Come on lets go report that Death stroke is in Jump."
A/N: So the plot thickens. Sorry it took me so long to write. You don't want to know why. Okay so review, suggest who goes next. Who do you think it is? Review and tell me what you think. May the odds never be in your favor. Live long and prosper. May the force be with you. SST
