Gamestop, 15:00 EDT
Roy was examining a new game when the familiar tinkling of a bell sounded new arrivals. It followed with a familiar laugh, with a lighter, more sweet laugh. He turned his head slightly to see Wally enter the store in his noisy fashion. Sarah was next to him, gripping her stomach. Megan and Artemis were right behind them, and soon Superboy and Kaldur.
"Hey, look who it is!" Wally exclaimed, slapping him on the back. "Hey." He greeted, throwing him into a playful head lock. Sarah had ventured over to the new X-box games that came out, along with the copy archer. They were having a chat, and his eyes couldn't help but stare at the black hoodie around her waist. "Duuude, she's my frieeeend." Wally complained, slapping him on the cheek when he saw where he was staring.
"I know." He sighed. Turning back to the shelves, he picked out an old Gameboy game. "God, i can't believe they still have these for sale." he mumbled to Wally, who nodded. "Yo, West!" Sarah chimed from across the room. "Hmm?" he asked. "Do you think it would be better to wear flip flops or sneakers in the summer?" She questioned. "Wow, S, good one." he told her.
Shoving his hands in his pockets he replied smoothly. "Depends, what are you going to do?" there was another short burst of chatting between the two girls. "Just, walking through the mall."
Wally looked towards him for support. "Well, you gotta consider style." He told the pair. Sarah fully turned around, confusion, disbelief, and a smile on her face. "Good point." She told him, crossing her arms. "of course it is, S." he teased. "Ahhh hell noo, you don't get to call me that." pointing at him accusingly. "Why not." he pouted. "Nobody who stares at my ass for a whole minute gets to call me that." Sarah added snarkily.
Artemis snickered from behind a copy of Halo. he glanced over towards the pair of Kaldur and Conner to see Kaldur inspecting a Wii game, and Conner glaring back at him menacingly. He let out a low whistle that Wally caught. He looked back, too, and giggled, very manly. "You should've seen him when the waiter checked her out." He told her. Roy laughed.
"Why don't I tag along for the rest of your mall adventure?" he half-asked, half-told Wally. "Naahh, dude, we're just getting a remote for the t.v, some one broke it." He could feel his face redden, he had taken a sidetrip into the mountain, to see if his former teammates were there. They weren't.
So, he decided to relax a little bit before returning to the cruel, cruel world. he was clicking through the channels when the remote control decided to be a ninja and slipped through his fingers, onto the edge of the coffee table, and disappeared on the floor. Trying to find it, he managed to land his foot on it, and hear a sickening crack.
He quickly scrawled a note, and busted-ass out of there.
"Found what i want!" Sarah sang in a beautiful tone. She placed three games on the counter and fished out her wallet. "$67.90." the cashier said in a sines blocked voice. Sarah gave him 70, and received her change.
"So, remote?" she asked them, opening the door and gesturing them out. "Yeah!" Conner cheered, already walking off.
Megan followed gloomily after her team as they looked for a store that would sell television remotes. "Maybe it's on the second floor?" Wally suggested. And they clambered down the escalator and started searching again. A couple of turns and bends, they came across a small little Wal-mart on the very end. Stepping inside, there wasn't a very big collection.
Her eyes scanned over the signs hovering over the aisles by their two wires. The cashier looked at them curiously, eyes lingering upon the girls, but quickly returned to his magazine, and not a good magazine at all. An aisle marked 'electric' caught her eye. She quickly ran over to the section. Sarah was close behind her one minute, and in front of her the next, both deep in concentration as they observed the short aisle of electric supplies. a universal remote was finally in sight, and she happily plucked it off it's hook.
It was a touch screen, and it glow a cute little purple when you touched a certain button, while another a bright, scarlet red. "Fine with me, beautiful." Wally flirted beside her. "I like it." Megan gave a little squeal and turned the remote around. "And, only $5.00 bucks." Sarah and Wally huffed. "What?" Megan asked, cocking her head questioningly. "Well, beautiful," Wally started, draping an arm over her shoulders.
"If something that usual costs, let's say $50, in another store, it means a well-built item. But, when Wal-mart brings it down to $5, it is either a real crappy remote, or they don't care about it." he finished. "Which also means that it might break soon." Sarah added. "But it's the only one, so we're taking it." Conner huffed through his nose. She looked at the Kryptonian and was shocked to see him pretty close behind her.
Sarah looked up, nose scrunched. "You better brush your teeth when we get back." she told him, and took a good couple steps away from him. Conner's eyebrows knitted together, and he checked his breathe. Even he recoiled at the smell. He was about to say something back at her, when the comm-link went off. "Neuclear power plant. Acrobat, Houdini, Miss Manipulation, Hades, and the girl, Persephone." All of their eyes widen at the same time.
M'gahnn's bio-ship 16:00 EDT
"Man, whatever they are doing, this is going to be big." Wally commented. Sarah nodded in her chair that had morphed next to Conner. "Something big, yet small enough for teenagers to take care of it?" Artemis asked snarkily. "That may be only the first round, they could be trickling in slowly, and we wouldn't know about it." Kaldur mumbled.
They had payed for the remote, and took turns in the bathroom of the bio-ship to get changed into the costumes. The coordinates were fed through the comms, and they were on their way. Another half an hour, they reached the property boundaries. "Alright." Kaldur mind-spoke. "Keep it a recon as long as you guys can." Wally, smiled sheepishly. "You, go in, fin them, and stop if necassary." Wally nodded, all he had to do was not mess this up. "Why is it ALWAYS recon?" Wally asked him as he ran into position.
"because, it's not a real threat yet, Kid Idiot." Artemis answered snarkily. He snotred, and went back to watching the power plant.
