"You sent the team to Bialya to investigate boom tube activity and you expect them to be fine?" Rogue Shadow questioned incredulously. "The team uses an unguarded telepathic link. Psimon will destroy them."
Batman's eyes narrowed. "Who is Psimon?"
"Just another trained telepath who is directly under Queen Bee's control. With the link up Psimon can affect all of them simultaneously." Tigress answered from somewhere in the rafters above them. "So it seems like we are going to save our new team. Right Rogue?"
Rogue sighed. "Apparently so."
"Does Superboy always do that?" Tigress questioned. As an enraged Superboy tore apart those tanks.
"Yes but not like that." Rogue Shadow said from their spot a safe distance from the fighting. "I don't like this terrain it is too open."
"Worried about being seen?" Artemis taunted. One of the many things that became habit after he revealed himself to be fifteen, biologically of course. Then there was the occasional teasings, tampons magically appearing in his pillow, hot sauces ending up in everywhere but the bottle, the list really just went on and on.
"Yes. I have to keep an image. Not to mention this was supposed to be a stealth mission and instead… " Maxwell gestured at Superboy who took that moment to notice them. "Great just-"
Superboy slammed into Rogue Shadow with the force of a train. They both rolled down the dune with Superboy punching Rogue Shadow's armor and Rogue Shadow piecing together the suppressed and shattered memories. By the time they reached the bottom Superboy was shakily picking himself back up.
"I'm sorry." Superboy apologized embarrassed.
"Don't be. You had no control over it." Rogue Shadow said as he got to his feet. "One down, four to go."
A that exact moment a yellow blur sped past them with predators chasing. Rogue Shadow lifted his arms and blasted them out of the sky. The yellow blur reappeared in front of Rogue.
"Hello my name is Kid Flash, KF for short and…Wow she's hot."
The girl in question was Tigress finally making down the dune. "This is going to end well." Rogue Shadow commented as Kid Flash rushed over to hit her with a pick up line. Artemis hit him with her fist just like the first time. Rogue Shadow reached into Kid Flash's mind and repeated the remembering process. By the time Wally straightened up he was back to normal.
"Did you really have to hit me again?" KF asked clutching his stomach.
"I told you not to hit on me." Tigress justified.
"But I didn't remember!" KF objected.
"Sounds like a personal problem to me." Tigress said disinterested.
KF looked at Rogue Shadow. "Is it her time of the month?"
Tigress moved in for another punch.
"Tigress." Maxwell called.
Tigress stopped herself. Wally stuck his tongue out at her.
"Real mature." Tigress said as she walked by him.
"Says the girl who hits more than she speaks." Kid Flash taunted.
Tigress ignored it and walked to her mentor's side.
Rogue Shadow took control. "Kid Flash, Superboy find the other members of the team and get out of here. Tigress and I will complete the mission." He looked at Kid Flash and Superboy but found no objections. "We will rendezvous at these coordinates. Understood?"
"Yes."
"Let's move out."
"You know it's not nice to mess with people's heads." Tigress said emerging from the shadows. She let two electric arrows fly taking out the two guards in the tent.
Psimon smiled. "Simon says forget." The smile dropped when he hit the steel wall that surrounded the girl's mind.
"Attacking my apprentice is never a smart thing to do." Rogue Shadow's voice filled the tent but remained unseen. Tigress smiled and Psimon found himself holding his head in agony. "Rogue Shadow says forget." Psimon collapsed pain etched into his face.
"Guess he didn't like his own medicine." Artemis shrugged and Maxwell groaned. Bad puns were another addition.
Rogue Shadow materialized in front of a sphere like object. It's an AI. The sphere stopped spinning to level what Maxwell figured was it's equivalent of an eye at Rogue Shadow. It's a prisoner. Rogue Shadow slashed through the cage that held it inside. I think I know just who to give it to.
"Finally we can leave." Kid Flash exclaimed. He pointed to Sphere. "What's that?"
"Souvenir." Rogue Shadow answered but neither of the pair made a move to go on board the Bioship.
"You coming." Kid Flash asked.
"Got my own ride." Rogue Shadow answered while the Nightshadow decloaked overhead. Kid Flash's mouth dropped open. "You guys are welcome to come aboard."
Kid Flash looked back down and saw that the Rogue Shadow and company had disappeared.
"Dude this place is huge!" Kid Flash yelled in shock as the rest of the team filed out a little more quietly than KF.
The main hangar bay was the single largest open space in the entire ship and for good reason. It housed four fighter squadrons, two bomber squadrons, some twenty tanks, five armored ground transport, and ten armored air transport, all were Rogue Shadow type, build, and make. That meant that at first glance all they would see was a shadow but closer inspection revealed the novelty of the designs.
"If you are done looking at my war machines perhaps we can start with a tour." Rogue Shadow suggested appearing behind Robin with enough stealth to make him jump.
"You almost gave me a heart attack." Robin said clutching his chest.
"I can only try." Rogue Shadow joked. "On with the tour."
Rogue Shadow was only halfway done with his tour yet he managed to lose everyone but Kaldur who was quietly taking in everything. "Where did everyone go?" Rogue Shadow asked not because he couldn't find out but he didn't want to show his entire hand to Kaldur who was undoubtedly putting together a report on his floating fortress.
"Superboy decided to try the increased gravity arena. Kid Flash never left the kitchen. Miss Martian is running through some of those telepathy exercises you mentioned. I have not seen Robin since the wind funnel. Tigress said something about a shower and a movie." Kaldur reported.
Rogue Shadow sighed it was too easy to sidetrack them. "Do you want to check up on them or continue the tour?"
"I would like to check on their progress." Kaldur responded ever so formally.
Good. "Can you find your way around on your own?"
"I will manage." Kaldur said.
They parted ways.
