Washington, D.C; August 3; 05:45 EDT

Mimic shook her head as she rode her motorcycle down the street with Flash running beside her. "What's going on again?" she asked and Flash frowned.

"Arrow and Canary got attacked by this dude. Arrow said it was important and to bring you along, since it's not turning out well." Flash frowned and Mimic nodded.

"This guy got a name?"

"Not as far as I know." he said and Mimic frowned processing the information.

"Who else is coming?"

"It's you, me, Captain Marvel, Superman, Manhunter, and Wonder Woman." he said and Mimic looked at him briefly astounded.

"That many? You guys don't usually use that many Leaguers for one villain." Mimic said which was true. It was only the big villains or villain groups that used that many Leaguers.

"I know-Arrow just called me and told me to get you to." he frowned and Mimic sighed as they came up to the coordinates when Wonder woman was hurling towards them.

"Wonder Woman!" she called skidding her motorcycle to a stop. Mimic flew in the air and grabbed the Amazon mid air. "Diana, are you okay?"

"I've had worse-what are you doing here?" the Amazon asked as they flew towards Flash who was standing with Manhunter.

"Flash brought me-he said Arrow told him to." she said as they landed and Manhunter nodded.

"Yes- you're abilities will be useful." he said and Mimic frowned.

"What do you mean by that?" she asked as they headed in.

"It turns out the Amazo-the name of the villain- has the ability to copy others' abilities. Though the thing that we're mainly concerned about is that he copies it the way you copy powers." he explained and Flash frowned.

"I thought only you could copy powers like that?"

"So did I." she frowned.

"I shouldn't say that per say. He has to say the name-other than that it's completely different." Manhunter corrected.

"It still sounds slightly similar to my powers." Mimic frowned.

"So far, we've learned that it's not real and is an android." Wonder Woman added. Mimic opened her mouth to speak when Green Arrow collided with her causing them to crash in a nearby wall.

"This isn't exactly the way I wanted to greet you." Mimic teased as Green Arrow got up, before helping her up as well.

"Yeah, me neither." he said before firing off several trick arrows at Amazo. Mimic ran forward as Superman was knocked into Captain Marvel.

"Access Martian Manhunter." he said and Mimic went straight through him. "Access Superman." Mimic's eyes glowed as Manhunter shadowed over her and she put up a telepathic shield.

I have an idea, she thought to them quickly, keep him busy enough for me to get a few hits in.

He's an android Mimic-he won't just tire out, Superman thought and she dodged the trail of heat vision that blazed behind her.

I know that Clark- I wasn't done, she snapped before continuing more calmly, after a while black Canary and I will catch him when he's not on Manhunter to use a Canary cry.

Good idea, Mimic. Let's put it into action, Manhunter thought and they worked quickly. Mimic sent a snap kick to the face, but he grabbed her leg and hurled her in Wonder Woman. Black Canary ran forward, but he used Flash's speed to run behind her and kick her in the back. Superman punched him quickly gaining the upper hand, when Amazo shifted into Captain Marvel. Mimic jumped in the air and Amazo flew off as she landed where he should have been. Manhunter telepathically picked up rubble and sent it flying towards the android, but he dodged. Mimic and Amazo engaged once more, though the heroine received most of the damage. Green Arrow shot a smoke bomb allowing Black Canary to sneak through, but he heard her and grabbed her already bruised for before arm squeezing it tightly before hurling her into Wonder Woman.

"Black Canary!" Mimic and Green Arrow called worried, but the blonde grunted in response as Wonder Woman helped steady her. Flash ran forward but Amazo switched to Captain Marvel and dodged the speedster.

"Now!" Green Arrow called as Black Canary and Mimic let out two high pitched sonic screams at the android. Amazo began to shake, when Black Canary began to give out. Amazo turned Martian Manhunter and Mimic stopped glaring at him before flying full speed. "Mimic!" Mimic ignored him and flew around the android before pulling his head off.

"Superman quick, before he does some weird voodoo stuff and recovers!" she yelled and the Man of Steel nodded helping her rip the android apart. "That should do it! You okay, Dinah?"

"Yeah-though it looks like you got most of the injuries." Black Canary said frowning. Mimic looked over herself to see her uniform torn almost everywhere and several cuts beginning to open. "Let's get you to the Hall."


Hall Of Justice, August 3; 12:37, EDT

"Ow!" Mimic cried as Red Tornado rubbed anti peroxide on her arm. The whole taking down Amazo and ripping him apart was fun, but getting her injuries taking care of? Not so much.

"My apologies Mimic. Your injuries aren't severe but I suggest you take it easy for a bit." he said putting the gauze around her wound. So far, Mimic came out with 3 bruises, 6 scratches, and 14 cuts. All of this was nothing new to the child-she had been in the Hall's medical room ever since she met them.

"Will do, RT." she smiled and Red Tornado turned to Green Arrow before leaving.

"Seriously Mica, take it slow this time." he said and Mimic stood up before placing her hands on her hips.

"I said I would take it easy. Don't you believe me?" she asked and he dead panned at her.

"No."

"Thanks dad, I feel so loved." she said sarcastically.

"Good to know I'm doing my job right." he teased and she laughed as they walked out the Medical Room.

"Really Daddy, I'll take it easy." she smiled and Arrow rolled her eyes with a smirk.

"Sure you will." he said draping an arm over her shoulder. "I love you."

"I love you too- that's why I'm going to actually make an attempt to take it easy today." she smiled when Batman walked up with his usual scowl deeper than usual. "Or not. What happened?"

"Nothing yet. We think that Amazo was created by Professor Ivo. We're setting up for the parts to be delivered to Star Labs. I want you and the team to take the real trucks while we take the fakes." he explained and Mimic nodded.

"Okay, I'll head over now-"

"I already let them know, you'll come with us and meet them there." he said before turning away. Mimic raised an eyebrow and Arrow shrugged.

"He's been acting like this for a while now." Arrow whispered when Flash called him over. "See you before we leave."

"Kay, love ya."

"Love you too." he smiled kissing her forehead before joining Flash. Mimic ran up to Batman so that they were side by side.

"What's up?" she asked and he looked down at her with a raised brow. "You're being more depressing than usual."

"Its nothing." he said and continued before she could say something else "How has the team been working?"

"You make it sound like you don't know." she teased trying to get some type of reaction out of him, but received none.

"I mean how are they acting towards each other socially, Mimic."

"Well, Miss Martian has been trying to understand Earth's culture and has been trying her hand at baking. She's very eager to help others, despite no fully understanding the situation. Aqualad has been taking his responsibility as leader very well. He seems to be the more levelheaded out of everyone. Kid Flash is well… he's Kid Flash. There's no other way to describe it."

"Understandable." Batman said and Mimic laughed at the grimace on his face.

"I bet your dying to know how Robin's doing." she teased and he glared at her before continuing "Robin's been good. He helps explain things simply to Miss Martian when she doesn't understand. They don't interact too much, but given time it should be normal."

"What about Superboy?" he asked and Mimic made a face.

"He's… he's learning. Slowly, it seems that his emotions dominate his way of thinking. He's extremely prideful and obviously doesn't appreciate being dismissed." she said hesitantly.

"I noticed that." he said and she looked at him confused, before worry crossed her features.

"What happened?"

"This morning in Metropolis, the main bridge had collapsed." he said and she already knew that Superman was involved.

"What did Clark do?" she groaned.

"What he usually does-push him away." Batman frowned and Mimic threw her hands in the air annoyed, letting the Dark Knight know he was in for a long argument.

"Why is being so stupid? I mean, he could at least make some sort of attempt." she growled.

"Mimic, Clark is extremely hard headed you know that."

"But this isn't even that difficult! It's something people deal with everyday-it's called being a mature adult!"

"You know that he's socially inept. Something like this is bound for him to act how he is."

"It doesn't matter! He's only 21 weeks old!"

"Mimic-"

"Don't 'Mimic' me, Bruce Wayne(1). He needs Clark to help him! He can't just keep brushing him off like he's nothing!"

"Michaela, please-"

"No, I won't! He has to realize that he can't keep this up forever!"

"Michaela-"

"I just don't understand why he's being so stupid! I mean-"

"Michaela Alexandria Queen!"

"What?" she yelled finally looking at him, but he looked over her head and she sighed "He's behind me, isn't he?"

"No, he was behind you." he said glaring at her.

"I'm not apologizing."

"I know and I'm not making you either." he said and she raised a brow at him "You're right-Clark does need to realize he can't keep doing this. I was planning on talking to him later, but I think you gave it away."

"Opps, my bad." she said and he shook his head.

"Let's go."


Litchfield County, August 3; 20:08 EDT

Mimic stood with Green Arrow and Flash, when her team pulled up. Mimic walked over towards them with a small smile. "Ditching us for the League already?" Kid Flash joked and she smirked.

"Nah, I barely made it through my childhood with them." she joked before pulling Superboy aside. You okay? I heard what happened."

"I'm fine-I just wish she'd lay off."

"Wait-she?"

"Aren't you talking about Black canary?"

"Why would I be talking about Black Canary?"

"You said you heard what happened."

"With Superman- what happened with Black Canary?"

"Don't worry about it." he snapped walking away from her and she pulled him back towards her.

"I will worry about it-what happened?"

"It doesn't concern you."

"If it concerns my mentor, it concerns me." she snapped and he looked shocked for a minute. "What?"

"You're Black Canary's protégé?"

"Is there a problem with that?" she demanded and he narrowed his eyes at her. "You know what forget-be a brat for all I care!" she stalked off towards the group annoyed.

"Mimic-"

"don't wanna talk about it, Aqualad." she said and the Atlantean nodded. When mimic was angry, it was best to let her cool off before trying to interact with her again. They walked over to Batman who was giving out instructions to Young Justice. They headed back to their motorcycle, when Batman called her over. "Yes?"

"Socially inept." he said before turning away leaving her confused. What did he mean socially inept? What did that have to do with Super…oh. Batman meant that Superboy was socially inept because he had Superman's DNA, who was extremely socially inept. God, she hated her life right now. She got on her bike when she heard Manhunter's voice in her head.

Relax Michaela and things will get easier, he thought and she smiled gratefully at him ,before getting off her bike to hug him.

"Thanks J'onn-I needed that." she smiled and he patted her back giving her a small smile and went back to her bike.

"Does everyone remember their teams?" Aqualad asked and they nodded.

"It's you, me and Miss M-" Kid said

"-Me, Superboy and Mimic." finished Robin.

"Good, we'll meet at Star Labs. See you all soon." Aqualad said as he, Miss Martian and Kid Flash went their separate way, while they went theirs. Robin and Superboy rode behind the truck while Mimic rode in front leading the way.

It was quiet between the two boys, when Robin tried to make conversation with the clone. "So, I was thinking that since disaster means something bad, that maybe aster means something good. What do you think?" he asked and the clone simply stared in front of him angrily "Guess you aren't feeling the aster. You okay, Superboy?"

"Fine."

"You wanna talk about it?" he asked "Is it about what happened with Black Canary?"

"For some reason she thinks that she can just tell me what to do!" he growled and Superboy gave a comforting smile.

"well, it's kinda her job. That's the whole point of her being our trainer-to train us." he explained and Superboy frowned.

"I don't need training-I'm a living weapon."

"Superboy, you're not a weapon-you're a person. When you left Cadmus with us, you made sure of that." Robin said softly and Superboy glared.

"I was designed to be a weapon and that's what I am." he growled, when Mimic's voice interrupted him.

"Don't bother, Robin-if he wants to be a brat, let him." she snapped and Superboy growled.

"Who asked you?"

"I'm simply saving Robin a waste of his time." she said and Superboy growled when Robin interrupted.

"Mimic, don't you think that's kinda harsh?"

"No-it's the truth. It's not my fault he's being a little baby about it." she said as if it was no big deal. Robin started to wonder if she was forgetting that she was talking about Superboy. Or maybe the fact that Superboy wasn't Superman… maybe she was confusing the two together. Maybe she just wasn't thinking right. She could have not been thinking at all. That would make sense. Robin began to say something but was cut off by an odd noise.

"Do you hear that?" he asked and the two stopped arguing and listened. "It sounds like… like-"

"Monkeys!" they said together and looked up to see several flying robotic monkeys landing on the hood of the truck.

"Robin, our truck s under attack!" Aqualad's voice informed them and Robin frowned.

"Yeah can figured!" he answered looking at the group of monkeys that attached themselves to their truck.

"I hate monkeys." Superboy growled.

"Switch your bike to battle mode!" Robin advised and the clone grunted.

"Don't need it." Superboy jumped on top of the truck causing the MONQIs to attack him as Mimic joined him. Another group of MONQIs soon attacked her causing the sandy blonde to growl in anger.

"Who in God's name send monkeys to do their dirty work!" she yelled as she flung several more monkeys off of her.

"Guys, the truck!" Robin called and they looked to see the monkeys opening the truck like a can of sardines. The monkeys let out an optic beam sending the two heroes back.

"You okay?" she asked and he grunted opening his eyes before closing them.

"I can't see." he growled and she sighed grabbing his shoulders.

"Well, I can. You listen and tell me where to hit." she ordered and the clone nodded in agreement to angry to argue with her. She dropped him above the truck just as the monkeys shot at the tire. The truck began to swerve and Mimic fell to her knees. Robin ran and got the driver when Superboy pushed her out into the cornfield next to the Boy wonder with a thud.

Mimic rolled on her side and looked up to see the truck rolling with Superboy still on it. It skidded to a halt the Boy of Steel still underneath and her anger quickly faded as she ran towards him. The truck flipped up revealing an unscratched Superboy and Mimic felt her anger return as the clone jumped after the MONQIs with parts of Amazo.

"Superboy!" Robin and Mimic screamed when Aqualad's voice filled their ears.

"robin, Mimic- we lost our cargo. Did you-"

"Yeah we did." Mimic snapped and Robin frowned.

"Along with our partner." he frowned as Aqualad tried to convince the clone to allow them to help.

"Don't need help! Don't want it!" he yelled throwing away his comlink.

"Superboy? Superboy!" Mimic called and Robin sighed.

"I think he ditched his comlink." Robin said as Mimic shook with anger.

"Well that's just super!" Kid Flash exclaimed sarcastically and Miss Martian sighed.

"He's out of my telepathic range." she frowned and Mimic growled punching the abandon truck to try release her anger. "Maybe we should call Red Tornado?"

"Tornado always says for us to handle our problems on our own." Aqualad frowned "We need to find a way to get back the part before they're put back together."

"Great plan expect we don't know where they are." Kid said and Robin smiled.

"Maybe not…" he said picking up a MONQI and plugging it into his wrist computer. "Don't you think we would've heard if the decoy trucks were attacked?" he asked and Mimic looked over his shoulder.

"What are you-"

"Aha! There was a GPS in the parts." he said and Mimic frowned.

"They tracked its location." she said as her comlink beeped letting her know someone else was calling.

"Mimic, to Batman." she blinked at the Dark Knight's voice before sighing.

"Now is soo not a good time, Batman." she said and the Boy Wonder raised a brow, but Mimi shook his head at him.

"I need you to meet me out in Metropolis at our usual spot, now. Wear your civilian clothes. Batman out." he said before hanging up and Mimic groaned.

"Look, you guys will have to go without me. Batman wants me to meet him in Metropolis." she frowned and Robin gave her an odd look.

"How come?"

"Didn't say- quite frankly at this point I don't know nor do I care." she sighed before flying away leaving the boy wonder alone.

"This is a disaster, heavy on the dis."


Metropolis, August 3; 21:38 EDT

Mickey walked into Bibbo's dinner before plastering a false smile on her face. She was dressed casually- black jeans tucked away into black lace up boots, a green beater covered by an off the shoulder long white sleeved shirt. It was occasional for her to stop by the diner when she was spending the day with Batman and Superman when on break from their heroics(2). As she walked in she gave a friendly wave to the owner, Bibbo before heading to the booth where said heroes were sitting.

"Glad you could join us, Michaela." Mickey rolled her eyes before sliding in next to him.

"Oh, it's no problem Bruce. It's not like I was in the middle of a mission or anything." she said dryly. Bruce Wayne and Clark Kent let out a laugh at their younger companion who was trying to contain her current anger which was slowly simmering.

"Are you ready to order?" they turned to the waitress with a smile when Clark ordered first.

"I'll have the apple pie." he smiled as Bruce handed her the menu.

"The Devil's Food."

"Guess I'll take the Lemon Meringue." she said smiling widely and the waitress nodded before taking her leave.

"Something tells me this isn't about dessert." Clark said half teasing, half serious. Bruce glanced at Mickey who gestured for him to start already knowing where this was going.

"The boy needs you." Bruce said getting straight to the point and Mickey scoffed.

"Way to be subtle, Bruce." she said before letting out a small sigh "He's right though-he does need you."

"No- he needs you two… he needs Red. I'm just a constant reminder of what he's not." Clark protested and Mickey raised an eyebrow at him.

"so how long have you been practicing that line?" she asked and Clark glared at her when Bruce continued.

"Clark, you're dead wrong. I know he… troubles you, but he's here and you need to accept that." he said and Clark shook his head.

"I see where he gets the stubbornness from." she remarked. Clark glared at her and she glared back fully annoyed. "Clark, this is getting old. Just at least try and talk to him."

"No, I can't-"

"No, you can't what? Please humor me, Clark! What can't the almighty Superman do?" she hissed lowly glaring at him "For the love of God, he's just a boy! He needs help!"

"You have that covered."

"I shouldn't have to have it covered, Clark! Cadmus didn't use my DNA to clone him, they used yours. Making him your responsibility, not ours." she snapped and he glared at her.

"This is ridiculous, Clark. It's obvious that the child needs you and strives for your attention." Bruce said and Mickey leaned back in her seat. "Clark, please try to remember the fact he's only 21 weeks old. He needs guidance."

"He doesn't need me."

"Yes he does, Clark and you know it."

"I-"

"Pathetic." Mickey said abruptly and Clark narrowed his eyes at her.

"Pardon?"

"you heard me, Clark Kent. I said pathetic because that's exactly what you are. All he wants is for you to acknowledge his presence in a good way-to take notice of him. To just say hi to him for once, instead of being brushed off. The reason why he's so angry all the time, isn't because he can't control himself-it is because you keep treating him as nothing. Clark, that boy looks up to you so much. He's so worried of not being able to live up to his name and every time you dismiss him it gets worse! Each time you rebuff him, it makes him think that he's not worth it and he isolates himself from the team so he won't have to feel the pain. Every time Barry or Orin or my dad comes to visit, he secludes himself from everyone because he doesn't have anyone to call his own. He feels alone in the world and despite knowing that the team and I are there for him, he has no real family. No one to visit him or check to see if he's okay. He's so determined to have you be that person that he can go lean on if he's failed in battle! To have you let him know it's alright-but he can't because you're being such a coward! To him, you're this amazing hero that he wants to grow to be so badly but he can't simply because you won't give him the time of day, Clark Kent! I know you aren't his actual birth father in that sense, but neither was yours! And yet John helped you everyday to help you learn how to use your powers for good! He didn't even know anything about superpowers let alone Kryptonian ones-but he tried his best to help you become the hero you are today! He taught you how to rise to the occasion to protect others and save the world, yet you can't save a teenage boy from his worst foe that he'll ever meet-himself. Yet here you are supposedly this hero of the century and you're rejecting someone who desperately needs your help. But at this point, you need to make a choice. Clark, you're my best friend and I love you but I'm halfway gone and you know it. So you have until September 17 to decide whether or not you're going to take responsibility for him. Just know this-if you decide not to help him, I will become his mentor and I will teach him. You have until September 17, Clark." she said standing up before turning back to him "When escaping from Cadmus, Kaldur asked Superboy 'what would Superman do?' so now I'm asking you: What would your father do? Both of them." she said before walking out the dinner.

"I know it's not what you want to hear, but you brought that upon yourself." Bruce said with a sigh and Clark glared at him.

"You're right-it's not."

"Clark… Michaela is right and you know it. The boy needs his father." he said and Clark stood up glaring at Bruce.

"I'm not his father. I'll take that pie to go." he said sharply heading towards the door, but the detective could see the Kryptonian's resolve slipping still replaying Mickey's hurtful words in his head. Bruce sighed and could only wait until September 17, to see how this would play out.


Gotham City, August 3; 21:21 EDT

Mimic flew over head trying to calm herself-it took every ounce of her that she had not to snap on Superman right then and there. But she did it; she thought of Superboy and his sullen face that 4 of July and let that drive her argument. She looked down below her to see Robin and Kid Flash in uniform heading towards the inner city. "What did I miss?" she asked flying so that way they were on the same level.

"Mimic! Not too much." Kid said quickly and she frowned.

"I'm guessing you haven't caught up to Superboy." she stated and Robin nodded before looking at her curiously.

"Why did Batman call you to Metropolis?" he asked and Mimic narrowed her eyes in front of her.

"There was some unfinished business we had to finish with Superman." she said and both boys nodded "Where are we headed now?"

"Gotham Academy." Robin said in disbelief and even Mimic was surprised at the location. What was in Gotham Academy that Ivo wanted? Shaking her head, Mimic focused as they flew inside the barren school… or was barren until the sound of a large crash was heard. They flew to the noise to find Superboy on the ground of the gym, Amazo hovering over him with a nerdy man sitting the bleacher MONQIs around him.

"That's' Ivo? I'm whelmed." she frowned and Ivo laughed.

"So is your friend over there." he smirked "But my Amazo will change that."

"I highly doubt it." she said as the android charged at her. She dodged him easily and growled annoyed, before turning to Ivo. "Don't you know who I am?"

"I don't believe I do." he smirked and she smirked in response when her eyes glowed.

"The name's Mimic." she said as Martian Manhunter ghosted over her causing Amazo to phase through her, before turning to Ivo who was staring at her in disbelief with a large smirk. "Don't forget it."

"Yoink!" Kid yelled as he grabbed Superboy and Mimic drop kicked the android before joining Robin who was throwing several birde-rangs at him.

"Access Martian Manhunter." Amazo droned and the bombs went straight through him, when a red tornado circled him making it obvious who he was now copying. The tornado sent Robin, Mimic and Superboy into the bleachers, while Kid was flung into the side wall. Kid got up slowly as Amazo stood in front of him raising his arm and Mimic charged at the android again swiftly gaining the upper hand. Amazo kicked her away before letting out a Canary cry at Kid Flash. Superboy charged at him, but Amazo grabbed the clone's fist before punching him into the bleachers. Robin tossed several more birde-rangs at him, but the android dodged and extended his wrist slamming it into the ground, but the Boy Wonder was already gone. Kid Flash charged again, Amazo grabbed him by the font of his costume and squeezed him in a death grip. Mimic began to run over to him, when he accessed Manhunter causing an arrow to go through. Mimic looked at the arrowhead and was shocked to see that it was not one her father used, but instead one of a certain blonde girl that was going to be in big trouble.

The sandy blonde glared up from where the arrow had been shoot and she caught the archer's eyes which had widened, before slipping out the nearby window.

Mimic glared at the retreating form, but joined her teammates in battle. Robin and kid Flash stood near the bleachers, while Mimic hovered over them when Superboy's face went blank.

"Access Black Canary." he whispered and Mimic looked at him confused when Ivo yawned loudly.

"Normally, Amazo would copy your powers but what's the point? You're only poor copy of the originals." he said indignantly.

"That's what everyone keeps saying." Superboy said before glaring up at him "It makes me angry!" he yelled before jumping. At first mimic thought he was going after Amazo but surprised her when she realized his direction was Ivo. The professor and his MONQIs ran as the clone landed where he had just been. "You wanna see me angry?"

"Oh great! He's gone nuts again!"Kid groaned and Robin smirked.

"Maybe not…" he said before quickly explaining and Mimic knew already what the clone was trying to do as Ivo shouted out a code for the android to perform. Robin kicked away the MONQIs that were trying to help the professor escape. "Anyone want to play keep away?"

"Ooo! Ooo! I do, I do!" Kid yelled snatching up the professor when Amazo kicked at the floor sending them both flying. Superboy grabbed Amazo by the shoulders when Mimic dropped between them, before grabbing a hold of clone's forearms and kicking up at Amazo sending him back. Mimic pushed herself off Superboy's arms and kicked at the drone, but he switched to Martian Manhunter. Superboy walked over and stuck his fist in the android's head as he changed to Superman. The android's head came solid with the clone's fist still inside and his head gave off electricity. Amazo's head blew u sending the clone flying backwards from the impact and Mimic rushed to his aid.

"Superboy?" she asked sitting him up and he nodded his head before looking up at her.

"Mimic, I-"

"Help me disassemble him!" Robin called interrupting whatever the clone was going to say and Kid rolled his eyes.

"Uh, dude? He just got his head exploded. I don't think he's coming back anytime soon."

"We can't take any chances." they turned to see Aqualad running in with Miss Martian flying behind him.

"Where have you two slackers been?" Mimic teased helping Superboy to his feet before putting her hand on her hip, before turning back to the clone. "You okay?"

"I'm fine…definitely feeling the aster." he said smiling at Robin and she let go of his arm with a frown.

"You were soo much cuter before you said that." she sighed walking away causing the clone to blush when Kid looked around.

"Where'd Ivo go?" he asked and they looked around the gym to see the professor gone.

"He's gone." Aqualad sighed before turning to a now disassembled Amazo. "Let's get this to Star Labs."

They grabbed the broken parts and headed quickly to the Star Labs, when Mimic stopped for a minute. "I'll be right back."

"Where are you going?" Superboy called after her and she gave him a small smirk and winked before flying away.

"I honestly can't help but wonder what goes on in her head sometimes." the boy wonder said as they continued.


Gotham City, August 3; 21:48

Mickey had changed once again into her civilian clothes as she entered a small rundown apartment. She trudged up the stairs before reaching the fifth floor and knocked on the door. The door opened to reveal a blonde girl a year younger than Mickey.

"Care to explain what you were doing?" she asked calmly and the blonde rolled her eyes.

"I was trying to help. Ya know, get in to everyone's good favor(3)." She said and Mickey shook her head.

"We told you to wait. With Speedy gone and not planning to join, they're pretty much hell bent on any chances of him giving any sign of coming back." Mickey said with a scowl and the blonde gave her a thoughtful look.

"I'm guessing you guys didn't end on a good note." She said and Mickey looked away.

"Something like that… but that's beside the point. The point is that you have to be patient, okay?" she asked and the blonde sighed.

"Yeah okay-how much longer?"

"Not much, but soon." She said and gave her a smile. "It'll be fine."

"Hope so." She muttered and Mickey gave her a hug which was returned eagerly.

"I gotta go. I'll see you later, kay?" she said and the blonde nodded "Oh and don't be surprised if Ollie stops by!"

"Mickey!" The sandy blonde chuckled as she walked down the hallway as she pulled out her ringing cell phone.

"I was just about to call you."

"Why's that?" Ollie asked

"When we get home, you have to talk to you know who." she said casually and Ollie frowned confused though she couldn't see.

"How come?" he asked as she headed into an abandoned telephone booth to use the zeta beam there.

"While Kid Flash was losing against Amazo, she fired off an arrow to distract him letting Kid get away." she explained and he frowned.

"I see-we'll discuss it later." he said. She shook her head before looking down the alley with a smirk.

"Hey Bruce, if anyone ask I was visiting you and Dick." she said as the Dark Knight stepped out of the shadows next to her. "Now let's get this debrief over with. It's going to be long-you know who shoot off an arrow to distract Amazo. So be prepared for accusations and pitiful hopes of Roy coming back."


Mount Justice, August 3; 01:06 EDT

"As you most likely know, the Amazo android has been successfully delivered to queen Industries. Unfortunately, Ivo escaped making him more dangerous than the parts being re-stolen." Aqualad said and Black Canary turned to him.

"Catching Ivo will be a League priority." she said when Martian Manhunter crossed his arms.

"But we're more concerned about are the problems you faced." he said seriously and Superboy looked down, while Mickey shrugged.

"We're teenagers, sue us. Just be glad not all of us have hormone problems like Kid Flash." she said and he glared at her.

"Not cool!" he huffed and Batman walked forward.

"Complications come with the job. Your ability to solve them has impressed the League." he said and Superboy looked at him warily.

"The whole League?" he asked and Batman turned to him.

"In time… as you know Kryptonians have very hard heads." he said and Mickey scoffed

"And the understatement of the year goes to Batman."

"If you have your own way of putting it, please be my guest." he glared and she smirked happily, before turning to the clone.

"At the wedding of all things retarded, shallow was the groom and ignorance was the wife-together they made Superman." she said and snickers filled the room. Mickey turned back to Batman who was smirking at her. "I'm done-feel free to talk about whatever."

"Of course, you all are always welcome to ask for help. That's why we're here-there are some problems we can't handle on our own."

"Please if we needed help, we wouldn't be able to ask." Robin said pulling out the arrow from earlier. "Look familiar to you? You were following us-babysitting! You still don't trust us!"

"We didn't follow you, Robin." Batman said taking the arrow and looking at it briefly, before handing it to Green Arrow who produced a different bow from his quiver.

"and that's not your arrow." the Boy Wonder said and Kid smiled widely.

"Dude, do you know what this means! Speedy so has our back!" he said and both men exchanged looks quickly. Mickey rolled her eyes, but Arrow sent her a look silencing her from speaking the truth. Kid ran forward and took the arrow with a smile. "Souvenir!"

"Umm…" Black Canary turned to Superboy who was rubbing his neck nervously. "I'm ready."

"Good, because I'm here. Unfortunately, the League requires me to be away ta times so I'm assigning you a… private tutor." she smiled and Mickey turned to her with a raised eyebrow.

"I don't remember offering to be a tutor." she said playfully and Canary smirked in response.

"Fine, I'll find someone else to help Superboy and you can babysit the idiot." she jerking a thumbs towards Arrow.

"Aw, you know you love me." he said walking towards them with a goofy smile. Canary raised an eyebrow at him before rolling her eyes.

"Yeah, keep telling yourself that." she said and Mickey pulled Superboy away from the oncoming quarrel.

"you don't wanna be there when they start arguing. So what were you trying to tell me earlier?" she asked and a small blush crossed his cheeks.

"I-uh… I wanted to say sorry for earlier. You were just trying to make sure I was okay like always and I lost my temper like always." he said looking down and Mickey gave him a warm smile, placing a comforting hand on his shoulder.

"It's fine, Superboy. I keep forgetting that your new to this; I guess I need to work on my patience." she smiled and his blush deepened.

"Well… we can work on it together. You know… when you tutor me and stuff. That is if you want to! It's okay if you don't, I-"

"Superboy calm down! I was just joking-of course, I'll tutor you." she smiled and he looked away embarrassed, when he noticed Green Arrow leaving with Black Canary.

"Uh, Canary and Arrow are leaving." he informed her sadly and she waved a dismissive hand.

"they'll live without me-besides, you have to give them at least 10 minutes to approach either of them after they finish arguing which is a good 2 and a half hours after we get back to my place." she mocked and Superboy laughed though he could see that she was serious. She grabbed his hand before leading him off to the TV room "Let's watch a movie."


Awwww...so supey didn't exactly apologize, but mickey still got the point. and batman playing the good friend who helps! notes

1. yes mickey knows who batman is obviously meaning she knows who robin is

2. though it may seem like it a little, mickey isn't replacing diana in the trinity. mickey is extremely close with bruce and sees him as another father. bruce sees mickey as a daughter and didn't really object much to when she figured out who he was-i'll post that soon-and values her friendship. mickey prefers teasing clark and ganging up on him cause...well...she does okay :)

Now the new question is? what's happening between ollie and dinah? read the bonus to find out!
