Robin and Sakura sped towards Gotham city under the cover of the night sky. Wally sped up next to them, easily keeping up.
"So you changed as well, huh?" Robin said, noticing that he was in costume.
"Are you kidding? I feel naked in civvies," Wally shuddered. "So, where are the parts now?"
"Well, they were heading towards Gotham, put their path seems to have changed."
"You don't think that could mean the android has been reassembled, do you?" Sakura asked.
"It's possible," Robin told them. "Dude…its heading for my school!"
"Gotham Academy? What would that thing gain from raiding your school? It's not like there are any metas walking around there," Sakura told them.
"No, but there could be a clone," Wally realized.
"Oh no, Superboy!" Sakura gasped.
"Let's hurry! We have to save him!" Robin shouted, speeding up his bike. Sakura and Wally followed his lead, speeding up as well. Robin and Sakura jumped off the bikes and threw off their helmets, entering the school building.
"Okay, where are they?" Wally asked.
"They're in the Chem Lab! Wait now they're in the gym," Robin answered.
"Got it," Wally answered, running off.
"Does he know his way around?" Sakura asked.
"No, but I do, come on!" He shouted, running off down the hall. They sped through and Robin opened a door.
"Yoink!" Wally shouted, grabbing Superboy off of the floor. He ran over to them, setting the clone down. Robin took out a disk and threw it at the android.
"Martian Manhunter," he droned. The disk went right through him, exploding behind him.
"Well, good thing it's still summer," Sakura muttered.
"Red Tornado," the android said, a red cyclone forming around him. He flew towards them, flying them in opposite directions. "Captain Atom." He shot a laser at Wally. "Black Canary." A hypersonic screech was sent at Wally, who ran to the other side of the gym, only to be pushed back. "Superman." The android turned around, catching Superboy's punch. He tossed the clone into the bleachers next to Robin. "Martian Manhunter." His arms extended and he destroyed the disks, before swinging his arms to hit Robin. Kid Flash ran over to him, only to be grabbed by Amazo. "Superman." Wally gasped as he was being crushed. "Martian Manhunter." An arrow soared through his head, but didn't affect him.
"That is it!" Sakura growled, running forward. Amazo stayed still as Sakura punched him. "Why don't you access someone else, see if you actually stand a chance.
"Access Black-!" The android was cut off as Sakura punched him, sending him back. "Black Canary." Amazo commanded, standing up strong.
"Uh-oh," Sakura muttered, as she was hit with Black Canary's cry. She hit the wall hard, sliding to the ground with a groan. Amazo grabbed Superboy's arm and threw him into the bleachers. "Superman." Amazo commanded. Lasers shot from his eyes and Kid Flash scooped up Robin, running across the room. The speedster tripped over his own feet and they rolled onto the ground.
"Yawn…" Ivo sighed. "Normally Amazo would study and copy your abilities, but what's the point? You're weak copies of the originals."
"What did you just say?" Sakura muttered, standing up.
"I said you were nothing more than a weak copy of the originals," Ivo smirked. "And who are you supposed to be? Black Canary's new sidekick?"
"I wish," Sakura smirked. "My original is right inside of me!" Sakura shouted. Her hair became dark pink and grew longer while her eyes became amber. "Nobody messes with my little sister and gets away with it!" Cherī declared, glaring at Ivo.
"You're saying what everyone else is saying," Superboy muttered. "It makes me angry!" The two teens jumped onto the bleachers, creating craters. Ivo quickly ran away from them, tripping over his feet. "Do you wanna see me channel that anger!?"
"And how would you like to see the power of the original Kunoichi?" Cherī shouted, flipping in front of him. On the other side of the gym Robin and Kid Flash groaned as they stood up.
"Great, Superboy's gone ballistic again. And it looks like Cherī is in control," Kid Flash groaned.
"Amazo! Protect your master!" Ivo shouted, stumbling down the bleachers when Cherī tried to grab him. "Priority alpha!" He jumped off the bleachers as Superboy jumped over to them, slamming his hands down.
"Captain Atom," Amazo commanded. He shot a laser at the two, blowing them back.
"Anyone wanna play keep away?" Robin smirked, kicking Ivo in the back and sending him away.
"Me me!" Kid Flash cheered, running for the professor.
"Access Superman." Amazo slammed his foot on the ground, sending a shockwave towards Wally. He flew through the air and landed on the bleachers. Cherī and Robin took out weapons and threw them at him. "Martian Manhunter" the weapons just passed through him. Cherī jumped behind the android while Superboy jumped in front. "Superman." Superboy quickly punched him in the head. Amazo's body hardened around the limb, shorting out and blowing up.
"Help me disassemble him!" Robin shouted, rushing to the robot.
"Dude, the guy has no head, I'm pretty sure we're good," Wally told him.
"Don't take any chances!" Aqualad shouted, as he and M'gann entered the room. Cherī took out a kunai with a paper bomb attached.
"Stand back, I can have him reduced to nothing in no time at all," she requested.
"No, the League wants to analyze the parts," Robin told her. "How can they do that if you blow the thing up?"
"You're no fun," Cherī muttered, putting the kunai away.
"Superboy? Are you alright?" M'gann asked, rushing over to him.
"Yeah," the clone nodded. "I'm feeling the aster." Robin sent a smile towards the young teen and turned back to Amazo.
"Hey! Where's Ivo?" Wally asked, looking around the gym.
"That little snake," Cherī growled. "I'll go find him."
"No, you are to stay here," Aqualad ordered. "And give Sakura back control of her body."
"What? Are you insane? I'm better at tracking! I could find this guy in ten seconds! Isn't that what the stupid League wants?" Cherī scoffed.
"What the League 'wants' is for us to deliver the parts to two separate S.T.A.R. labs for analysis," Aqualad reminded her.
"Well you are not the boss of me! I'm going after Ivo and his damn monkeys," Cherī growled.
"No, but Aqualad is the boss of Sakura," Robin said, stepping in her path. "You are in her body, and are taking her place right now. That means you obey him. Either you obey his orders, or we can have the League hunt you down and force you to give control back to Sakura." The two of them had a glaring contest that last for several tense moments. Cherī let out a sigh and closed her eyes, ruffling Robin's hair.
"You're lucky Sakura won't let me hurt you," she muttered, before turning back into Sakura. The pinkette gripped her head and fell to her knees, wobbling in place.
"Why is the room spinning? Did we win?" With that Sakura fell back, passing out. Robin caught her, pulling her close to his chest before she could hit the ground. The Boy Wonder let out a sigh of relief and smiled down at his teammate.
"Well, things will never be boring with her on the team," Wally muttered.
"The parts have been delivered to the lab and are currently being analyzed," Aqualad reported. "But Ivo escaped. And since he's the one that created the machine, he's more dangerous than the android itself."
"Capturing the professor will be a League priority," Black Canary assured them.
"But we understand that your mission had other problems," Manhunter told them. The group, minus Sakura stared at Superboy, the one that had gone off the railing.
"Complications come with the job," Batman told them. "But, your abilities to handle them have impressed the League."
"The whole League?" Superboy asked hopefully.
"No, but given time, yes," Batman answered. "As I'm sure you're aware, Kryptonians have very hard heads." Superboy looked away and smirked. Sakura giggled and lightly tapped his head with her knuckles. "Of course there is no shame in asking us for assistance. That's why the League exists. There are some things that even we can't handle on our own."
"As if," Robin scoffed. "We'd never get the chance to ask for help if we really needed it." He took out an arrow, holding it up. "Look familiar? You were following us the whole time! Babysitting! You still don't trust us!"
"We didn't follow you," Batman informed him, passing the arrow to Green Arrow. The archer pulled out one of his arrows.
"They have different tips," Sakura observed. "It doesn't belong to you."
"Then that means…" Robin trailed off, a smile growing on his face.
"Speedy!" Wally shouted in happiness.
"He has our backs," Aqualad smiled.
"Souvenir," Wally smiled, taking the projectile away. Superboy cleared his throat and walked over to Black Canary.
"I'm ready," he whispered.
"Good, because I'm here," Canary smiled.
"Wait a minute!" Sakura protested. "I still haven't been able to fight Canary yet! Unfair!"
"You really want to fight her," M'gann observed.
"Of course I do," Sakura smiled, clasping her hands together. "The best way to learn is by doing and observing. As a ninja, those two can go hand in hand! By fighting Black Canary I could learn new moves and test them out there!" Her cheeks were pink and everyone could see the sparkles and excitement in her eyes.
"Are you sure you don't wanna test if you could become her apprentice?" Robin snickered. Sakura glared at him slapped him on the head, but that only made the Boy Wonder laugh harder.
"What?" Canary asked in shock.
"Yeah, Ivo didn't recognize her and thought she was your sidekick," Wally told them.
"Stop laughing!" Sakura shouted at the older boy.
"The fact that you're being so defensive about the idea only proves me right," Robin laughed, holding his sides.
"Robin! If you don't stop laughing right now, I don't care if it's one of Batman's rules, I will reveal your secret ID!" Robin stopped laughing and straightened up, taking a breath.
"Alright, I'll stop," he muttered. "Besides, if you did that, you would be answering to Bats over there," he smirked, pointing at his mentor. The pinkette looked at the bat themed man, who was glaring at her from under his cowl.
"I don't' care. I've been trained under Kakashi Hatake and Tsunade! I'm not afraid of anything!" Sakura huffed, crossing her arms.
"Oh really?" Robin challenged.
"Uh-oh, something bad is gonna happen," Wally muttered.
"Well, if you truly aren't afraid of anything, I dare you to patrol Gotham with me tomorrow night," Robin smirked. "And, the next time the Joker attacks, you have to come with me and Bats."
"Please, the Joker is nothing," the pinkette scoffed, crossing her arms.
"Hello! The Joker is a psychotic killer clown! What's scarier than that?" Robin shouted.
"Orochimaru," Sakura answered softly, her eyes becoming downcast. "And then there's the Akatsuki! They are way scarier than the Joker. And they're more messed up in the head than the Joker." Her voice became harsher and she smirked at him.
"How are the Akatsuki bad?" Superboy asked. "And who's Orochimaru?"
"They're my villains," Sakura answered curtly, not going any further.
"Both of you calm down," Batman ordered harshly.
"Yes sir," they complied, bowing their heads.
"Robin, you cannot just invite her on a mission for when the Joker attacks," Batman scolded.
"Sorry," Robin apologized.
"And Sakura, you will never reveal his identity," Batman told her.
"Hai…gomen…" Sakura nodded, reverting back to Japanese.
"Good, now, if you truly want, I'll leave patrolling to you two tomorrow," Batman agreed.
"Really?" They asked in shock.
"Yes, but nothing better go wrong," Batman warned them, walking away.
"Whoa, you got off the hook," Wally whispered.
"I would have thought you would get a more severe punishment," Kaldur agreed.
"Oh we do have a punishment," Robin muttered, crossing his arms. "We have to be extra careful on patrol tomorrow."
"Yeah, we should go over some plans just in case," Sakura agreed. The two younger teens nodded, quickly walking out of the room, and leaving the others behind.
"Alright, why don't you kids go take a shower and eat dinner, it's been a long night," Black Canary told them. The teens nodded in agreement and exited the room, going for the locker rooms.
