Welcome to Happy Harbor

Episode 2, Part 2

Happy Harbor Beach

11:47 August 15th 2011

Robin licked his lips. He wanted to think that this was Red Tornado, but his gut told him to be on his guard. He felt Kid Flash next to him stiffen, seeing him taking out his Bird-A-Rang.

"I AM MISTER TWISTER!" The voice boomed a second time, Robin winced slightly the noise louder then what he thought was natural.

And out stepped 'Mister Twister' from his self-made dust cloud. He was a red android who was the same size as Red Tornado, the difference was had a dark green scarf wrapped around his lower face, and sniffle rent black markings along his head and body.

Robin narrowded his eyes, Red Tornado COULD have placed a scarf around his neck, but why would he paint black on himself. It just didn't add up.

Kid Flash scoffed "Dude, that is sooooo Red Torna-...WOAH!" The loud teenager stopped midsentence. The wind had picked up again and from Mister Twisters hand a tornado had began to form.

Robin shifted his feet uncomfortably, even they way the tornado formed it just seemed...different. It all wasn't adding up, and he knew that what he said before was incorrect. This was not Red Tornado, this was an unknown and possibly dangerous Mister Twister.

Robin frowned "Guys, I don't think it's-...HOLY C-" the tornado had broken free of the android's grasp whipping towards the teenager, gaining speed and momentum. Robin heard Kid Flash let out a yelp, and saw him as he dashed away from the mini tornados path, grabbing Aqualad by his shirt and dragging him along.

Robin saw the tornado approach and knew he had to get out of the way, he leapt as far as he could, and bounded behind a sand dune, peeking out his head to see that Superboy hadn't budge, apparently thinking he could take the fast approaching mini-storm on.

Superboy dug his feet in the sand, bracing for impact. He breathed through his nostrils. It's just a little tornado, he thought, it'll be easy to deal with.

Even before the actual tornado was near him though, had felt the violent pull of the rough wind. He stumbled trying to regain his footing. But then the actual tornado hit him.

Literally.

The wind hit him like a brick wall, shoving him over. He landed on his back with a THUD!

The air was sucked out of his lungs, making him wheeze. He felt his face began to turn beat red as he struggled for some sort of breath to grace his lungs. There is no frickin way I'm gonna die...

Suddenly the tornado dispersed, leaving Superboy gasping for breath, as he sat in an upright position. Robin seemed to materialize behind Superboy, crouching next to him "You okay?!"

Superboy turned his head, not answering, when he saw Kid Flash reappear also, still dragging the annoyed Aqualad behind him. Kid Flash let go, wiping the sweat off his chin.

Aqualad stood, brushing off the sand that was all over him. He glanced at his comrades, making sure they were alright, and then turned to the tornado-making machine. "Friends, I do not believe this to be Red Tornado." He commented with a frown.

"And why is that?" He heard Superboy growl, his voice bubbling with anger.

"Because his tornadoes are white colored, not red." Robin chimed in, straightening to his feet.

"And secondly because I doubt Red Tornado would ever intentionally hurt us, test or no test." Aqualad added.

"I AM MISTER TWISTER!" The android boomed a third time. "SURRENDER YOURSELVES NOW, AND YOUR DEATH WILL BE QUICK" the slow android was making solid steps towards them, closing the distance. Aqualad swallowed, he hadnt want a fight, but it looked like there was hoping to be one either way.

"Confident fellow isn't he." Grumbled Kid Flash "Can we kick his red butt now?"

Aqualad nodded "I believe that would be best." He took out his water bearers, as they instantly turned to form into hammers. Besides him, Superboy got to his feet, shaking with anger.

Robin raised his Bird-A-Rang, while Kid Flash secured his goggles.

"On the count of three" Aqualad began "one..."

"THREE!" Kid Flash said without waiting, and he sped off, kicking up sand as he zipped away towards their first enemy.

Aqualad faltered, watching the speedster's blur as he approached the enemy without him. Superboy let out an angry shout, saying something along gage line that he was annoyed that the kid though he could run off without them.

Aqualad tried to open his mouth to stop Superboy, but he was already pounding after Kid Flash, shaking the ground with every heavy step.

Aqualad let out a disappointed sigh. They were suppose to be a team, but already they were splitting up. He felt Robin nudge him "How bout us two go together?"

Aqualad lifted his head and a small smile spreading across his face. "Together." He agreed.

The two took off, ready to face the android together.

Oliver Queen's apartment, Star City

20:56 August 15th 2011

Green Arrow turned the knob to his big apartment, letting out a sigh as he flicked up the switch. It had been a long couple of days, and he just wanted to go to sleep and forget about everything.

He hung his hat on the coat rack and turned to face his living room. His eyes fell on his couch and he jumped.

Sitting in front of him was a slim girl, who had long blonde hair in a ponytail. She had a dark green mask on, that still revealed her lower face and her steely grey eyes. Her green top, with a lighter green arrow pointing upwards, stopped above her abs, and she had on combat boots and flexible green pants.

She stared calmly at him, her bow laying besides her on the couch, with the quiver by her feet. "What?" She said sarcastically "Never see a girl before?"

"Not one in my apartment before. No. Who the hell are you, and what are you doing in MY apartment?" Green Arrow said exasperated. He was much too tired to freak out, and even more tired then to take out his retractable bow in his boots and shoot her.

He held his hand to his forehead. It was obviously going to be a long night.

She stood, her arms hanging by her sides as she introduced herself "My name is Artemis. I need you to listen to me."

"And why should I listen to a tresspasser?" He said as he turned away from her to walk to his kitchen. He was going to fix a sandwich, and maybe grab some Burboun, so he could figure how to deal with this girl.

"It was the only way for us to meet without getting you killed" she hissed, as she followed him, "look I heard that your short of an apprentice. So here I am to fill in the spot. I know everything there is to fighting, so no problem there"

He plopped down on his chair, pinching the bridge of his nose "Look little girl, as soon as I find Red Arrow, he'll be my apprentice again."

"My name's Artemis. And until then why would it hurt to let me hel-...er...be your apprentice?" She asked, as she leaned against his counter. She fidgeted, she apparently was hiding something.

Green Arrow didn't have the willpower to question this girl, who seemed to be sure he was going to be killed, and meanwhile wanted to be his understudy.

But he didn't want another apprentice. He still needed to find Speedy. Or Red Arrow. WHATEVER.

He grasped for a measly excuse to get her out of his hair. "Well for one I don't know who you are-"

"Yeah you do" She sassed "I'm Artemis."

He waved his hand to hush her "NO, no. Names don't count. As I was saying, I don't know who you are, and for all I know you could be a villain trying to kill me, and then where would that leave me. I mean other then dead."

Artemis snorted, turning to open a cupboard and finding two glasses, she took them out and walked over to Green Arrow, setting them down on the table.

"If I wanted you dead, you already would be, for instance when you blundered in like a blind badger."

"I look nothing like a blind badger my dear," he said taking one of the glasses and pouring alchohal into it. He knocked his head back and drank it in one easy movement, with Artemis rolling her eyes at him. "Can't you just go away? I'm grieving the loss of my son okay? Let me get drunk in peace."

She shot out her hand, grabbing the glass as he tried to pour Burboun in it again, causing him to jump and pour the drink all over his lap. His eyes snapped up to her glaring. "You know what? Fine. But first we have to get you to see Batman." He said.

He reached out for the second glass on the table and poured himself another drink, with Artemis still holding the first.

She wasn't sure if he was agreeing because he was having alcohol, or because he was too tired to think, but either way she knew this was a new start for her, one that she could really use. "It's a deal." She said nodding her head as she held up the drink.

He clanked his glass against hers. And knocked his head back again. She took a sip of tp what little alcohol she had, and nearly spat it out, it was definitely stronger then she had thought it would be. She set her glass down on the table, sliding it slightly far away from her.

Green Arrow let out a happy gurgle and gladly took it.

"Oh, and by the way...can I stay here for the night?" She asked innocently.

He spat out what was in his mouth and stared at her. "You got to be kidding me."

Happy Harbor Beach

"ARRRRGH!" Kid Flash yelled. Before he had let Aqualad finish his stupid counting (which was taking a long time) he had left without them. He could do fine by himself, and this tornado man was no problem for him.

He closed the distance between them in less then two seconds. Before the robot could detect him he leapt on the air and roundhouse kicked the machine's head, causing it to stumble back. "ALRIGHT!" Kid Flash shouted triumphantly "Take that!"

Behind him he heard a loud yell, belonging to Supey, he turned to see the angry teenager pounding towards them. He sounded like a large and fat elephant, that was going slower then his dead grandma.

He let out a smirk, as he turned his head just in time to see the robot rebounding by sending a tornado straight for him. He let out a yelp, scrambling away from it.

This one was slightly larger then the one that knocked Supey flat, and that meant it was stronger, the air pulled at Kid Flash making it harder for him to move away.

Suddenly he came up with a brilliant idea. He ran towards the tornado, and started running the opposite way it was turning. He increased his speed, causing the tornado's to lower. Soon he began to see the tornado lose its momentum. He skidded to a halt, and turned around to make a snide remark at how dumb the robot was, only to find he had ran quite far away from it.

"Damn." He whistled. He let out a huff as he prepared to go and attack the robot again, when he felt a hand clamp on his shoulder.

"Don't move, we need to talk." He heard a soft and feminine voice say. He turned with a puzzled look on his face.

"Who..." He stopped mid sentence. Before him stood a timid teenage girl, who had green skin.

"Well this is going to be interesting."

And there you have it!

Sorry for the late chapter guys, it's just everything has been slightly crazy at my house, like super busy. I'm going to begin school soon, so updates will be slower probably.

Well Artemis and Green Arrow meet for the first time! Whoo! And Green Arrow hasn't slept in like three days, so his judgement is like nonexistent.

By the way: Green Arrow is NOT an alcoholic, he just sometimes drinks.

I think that might be all for now!

Oh! Please review! That would be a great help! Thanks you all who read this story!
