Hey guys, sorry for not keeping my word on being back soon. Things got really complicated in my life over that period of time, but now I'm back, and I really want to work on and finish this story for you guys, and I'll try to have it here asap.
in the meantime, please enjoy, although I feel like my writing skills may have gotten a bit weaker, I'm gonna do my best to improve.
"Oh Natasha, I wish you could see my new friends, they took me in, treated me like their own, and are willing to trust me. Gosh, I know you would just love to meet them all...well maybe except Superboy, I think he hates me. I hope tha-"

I was soundly broken from my daydream by an loud announcement from the cave's intercom.
"Attention! Everyone to the training area in 5 minutes." Captain Atom announced.
I grabbed a cup of orange juice from the kitchen as I made my way to the training room.
"Ugh, here goes nothing."
As the doors opened and I walked in, everyone looked at me.
"Um, hi." I squeaked.
"Welcome Trey, are you ready to train?" Black Canary asked.
"Sure, I guess." I responded, lowly.
She waved for me to join her on the training floor, which I obeyed rather slowly.
"Ok, now I know you can give the whole league a hard time with your powers, but can you beat me in hand to hand combat?" She asked, preparing a stance.
"I um, not really sure." I responded.
"Well lets see what you got!" She said, launching at me.
I wasn't really ready for her surprise attack, but I instinctually dropped to the floor, as she went above me.
"Phew, that was close." I said, getting up.
Suddenly I felt a strong kick to my back, sending me forward.
"Remember to watch your blind spots!" She yelled.
"Crap! I'm about to have my ass kicked by her! Focus!"
She swung at me, narrowly missing my face, but I got the opportunity to grab her arm, and fling her into the air.
"Wow, this guy is pretty good." Kid Flash said to Robin.
"It's not over yet." Superboy chimed in.
Without wasting a second, Black Canary got back up and rushed back towards me.
I tried to faze her with a kick, but she swooped down and kicked my supporting leg, knocking me down, hard on my butt.
"Ach!" I winced, trying to get back up.
But Black Canary decided to end it, nailing me on my back with her toned legs.
"That was a good fight, maybe next time you might win." She said, getting off me.
As soon as I got back on my feet, I noticed Batman and Captain Atom were watching the whole thing.
I felt pretty uncomfortable, and I quickly exited, despite the team wanting ask questions.
I wandered around for a little bit, before coming across a room with a sparkling waterfall, and beautiful scenery I sat down by the water, going over that whole fight in my mind.
"Why did I lose? Black Canary is just a regular person with some super scream ability. She's not even skilled as Batman! After fighting all those stupid holograms and-"
"Hey, are you Ok?" a voice asked behind me.
I quickly shot a look to see who followed me. It was Zatanna, who calmly came and sat down beside me.
"Yeah, I'm fine, just... thinking." I responded, looking at the flowing water.
"Thinking of what?" She asked.
"Stuff." I responded.
She giggled, then lightly slapped my arm.
"Cmon Trey, you gotta be more open than that. You can trust me!" She said, looking into my eyes, as I avoided her's.
I sighed, giving into her. "Well I-"
"Everyone please come to mission control at once, there is an emergency!" Batman said over the intercom.
Zatanna and I quickly rushed back over to the mission room, joining the others.
"There is a hostage situation happening at STAR Labs by Bane and some of his team.
"Ok team, lets head out!" Aqualad said, heading to the hangar as we followed.
Boston, Massachusetts
April 10, 2011. 9:52 Am EDT
"Give us the data now!" Bane yelled, holding a very frightened scientist.
The scientist only wailed and panicked as the huge man held him high in the air.
"Boss, the police are outside!" a grunt reported.
"Gather up everything we need, and bring a hostage." Bane responded, throwing the scared scientist into a thin wall, incapacitating him.
Meanwhile as they were distracted by the police, we began to sneak in through the ventilation system from underground, crawling around until we came across something...
"Hey boss, I think I found somethin that might be useful." a grunt said into a walkie-talkie.
"what is it?"
"It's some sort of zeta- fusion bomb thingy. Its really small, but it says on the case it has the power of small supernova... if I read it right." the grunt responded, inspecting the device.
"Holy moly, why do they have something like that?!" Kid flash whispered.
"I don't know, but we have to get it away from them asap!" Robin responded, opening the vent.
The grunt ran off to Bane, with careful instructions to not damage it, and we quietly followed, nearing to strike until
"Hey! Stop those kids!" Someone yelled, alerting everyone on the floor.
"Crap, Kid Flash get that device!" Robin yelled.
Kid Flash attempted to speedblitz the grunt, but was immediately clothes-lined by a handmade pair of thick bolas, causing him to fall and crash hard into a wall.
"Well, its nice to see you kids again, but unfortunately this is none of your concern." Bane said, as his grunts gathered around.
"But why the need of a weapon of mass destruction?" Aqualad asked, preparing to fight.
Bane then took the device and held it up. "This? We stumbled on this as we were searching for our original target, but I think this will help buy us some time, hehe. Now, relax, we wont use it unless we don't get what we want."
Suddenly the grunts all attacked us, but we proved to be to overwhelming to the grunts, easily defeating them, but in all the commotion, I spotted Bane getting away.
"Ok, here's my chance!"
I chased him down the long hallways, that seemed endless, with tons of turns and some stairs. I would try to fly, but it would be hard avoiding those light fixtures and other thing hanging from the walls and ceiling.
Eventually I cornered him at a dead end on the ground floor.
"Hm, so you must be some new kid, huh? Well lets see if you can handle this!" He yelled, firing a plasma rifle at me, but I easily absorb the blasts.
I then returned the energy back, forming it in my hands and launched it at him repeatedly.
Soon I had him on the ground, exhausting him from my rapid energy pulses.
As I approached, ready to apprehend him, I heard him laughing.
"What's so funny?!" I asked, keeping my distance.
"You have 12 minutes!" He said, sliding the highly dangerous device to my feet, with the timer ticking and the stopper broken off.
"Shit!"
I quickly grabbed the device and smashed through the countless thin walls, hurrying to find my team.
Soon, I smashed through the right wall, finding my friends tending to the staff and handing over the team of grunts to the police.
"Guys! I got the device, but Bane broke the top part, and its ticking!" I yelled.
They all had terrified looks on their faces, even the staff.
"Without the killswitch, the bomb cannot be stopped. The entire eastern United States will be incinerated, as well as triggering numerous effects on the rest of the world.
"Is there somewhere we can take it?!" Kid flash asked.
"No, no matter where on the planet it is, the effects would be the same. It was created to provide offensive power against highly advanced aliens. We had yet to introduce its potential to officials yet." The scientist informed.
"Well can't we just take it apart?! Or smash it?!" Superboy asked.
"No, or its energy would be released and cause massive destruction." The scientist responded.
"I got this." I said, carrying the device outside. I noticed it had only 8 minutes left.
"Wait! What are you doing?!" Zatanna yelled.
"I have to take it up to space, and let it detonate there." I responded.
"But its too dangerous!"
"It would be more dangerous to let it destroy our world." I replied, shooting straight up in the air, as fast as I could go, trying to increase my speed by altering the kinetic energy around me.
By the time I reached the exosphere, I was engulfed in light blue energy, that seemed to shield me from the harshness of space. I looked once more at the timer, hoping I could have time to try to turn back before it explodes, but I only had 23 seconds left.
"Shit."
I held it out in front of me as I seemed to accelerate faster, not being bound by drag. Soon I was slightly beyond the moon until the device began to glow in a sudden flash of bright light, followed by immense heat and a colossal force of energy I couldn't absorb all at once, sending me flying back to earth in a super heated fireball drowned out by the enormous light that dwarfed the sun in the morning sky.
I could see myself quickly approaching the earth at such a high speed, which everything was a blinding white as I left a large trail of fire and energy in the sky. I tried to reduce my speed, but it was too hard to even move my limbs, as I approached a lake below. In one final effort to stop, I attempted to create a cushion of energy, but it did little as I crashed down into the lake bed, kicking up massive amounts of water, mud and fish high into the air, as well as sending a massive shock wave thought the earth, and vaporizing large amounts of water due to my tremendous heat.
The entire lake and the area was now a large crater, with patches of water scattered about as I laid in the center, steam spewing off my body.
"Ugh, I didn't expect this for a first day mission."
Elk Lake, Pennsylvania

"Hey, I found him he crashed in a lake, and apparently leveled the entire area." Miss Martian said, coming in to inspect.
Soon the entire team showed up in the bioship, plucking me out of the crater as Aqualad did his best to revive the vaporized lake.
"Wow, I can't believe this guy tanked a nuke. He must be as durable as Superman!" Kid Flash said, very impressed.
"Yeah but it looks like he almost died. The there was something about it being as strong as a small supernova." Miss Martian stated.
"I think it was probably exaggerated. A real supernova would wipe out half of the solar system." Robin replied.
"Well lets get him back to the cave, I hope he isn't seriously injured" Zatanna said. "He also kinda needs some new clothes, his is kinda... burnt."
So, that's it for this chapter, sorry if it didn't have a huge correlation to the plot, but don't worry, the next chapter will be like a speeding 18-wheeler hitting you in the face, which I do plan on having for you guys soon. thanks for reading, hope to see ya soon, and please give me support on an upcoming crossover that I will do, which will be my first. I already have the art for it any everything, as well as a gut feeling that its gonna be a hit! I can't give to many spoils yet, but stay tuned for when I announce it!
