"Team, report for training." Black Canary's voice rang out on the loudspeakers. The team was currently relaxing. Robin was crawling in the vents spying on everyone, Wally was eating a baloney sandwich, M'gann was baking cookies, Artemis was trying to shoot Zatanna for target practice, Superboy was looking at the static on the TV, Aqualad was swimming, and Shadow was up in the vents, trying to catch Robin. Yup, just a normal second day of Shadow-joining-the-team. Everyone was in their civvie outfits, they were, *cough, cough* relaxing. The team immediately went to the training room, they were curious to see how Shadow could do. But when they got there, Shadow was standing there.
"How- I thought- you were up in the vents!" Wally looked at her.
"Shadow travel." Reyna smirked at him. "Got here faster than you, didn't I?"
Black Canary coughed. "So, we'll pair up. Artemis, you're against Robin, Superboy against Aqualad, M'gann against Zatanna, and Wally, you're against Shadow."
"I'll so show you my moves." Wally grinned and winked at Shadow, earning a punch from Artemis.
"Baywatch! Don't make her feel uncomfortable!" she complained.
"You're just jealous beautiful." He grinned at Artemis and she blushed.
Artemis and Robin stepped into the training circle. Robin charged at her, swinging his fist, and Artemis blocked it. She tried to kick Robin, but he just laughed and flipped away. They went on fighting, and finally Robin pinned Artemis to the floor.
"Well done, Robin. You've improved." Black Canary nodded.
Superboy and Aqualad's fight took more time, as they were both greatly skilled.
M'gann and Zatanna both were quite good, and now Wally and Shadow stepped into the circle.
"I will kick your ass. Just don't think it's unfair." Wally remarked, confident.
Wally then ran at her with super speed and aimed a punch. Shadow ducked, and tripped him.
"That was your move?" she asked.
Wally didn't reply, embarrassed that a girl could take him down so easily.
"Well, team, as this is a tournament, Robin, Superboy, M'gann, and Shadow will be fighting each other, M'gann against Shadow and Robin against Superboy." Black Canary nodded. The signa for start. M'gann aimed a kick at Shadow, and she dodged, clipped M'gann's temple, and kicked the back of her knee.
"Uh, sorry if it hurt?" Reyna stood awkwardly at M'gann lying on the floor. When the pair got off, Superboy beat Robin with difficulty, then Superboy and Shadow faced each other. Superboy ran at her, and drew back a fist. He punched, and Shadow flipped straight over him, grabbed his other arm, and kicked him in the back.
"Sorry Conner." She apologized as she looked at Conner groaning.
Who could beat Connor at combat like that?
