Disclaimer: The answer is still the same as it was and probably ever will be.
The bio ship was quickly caught up in the tornado. The team cried out as they were thrown around in their seats. Megan grabbed the controls and swerved the ship out of the tornado and landed it quickly in the parking lot. The team quickly jumped out of the bio ship. Screams sounded through out the power plant as the tornado surged through it.
"Robin, are tornado's common in New England?" Aqualad turned to find Robin missing. "Robin?"
Robin's laugh sounded through the air.
"Ugh," Dark Angel groaned. "Not again!"
Megan looked around. "He was just here."
Robin was thrown into the wall. The rest of Young Justice ran into the power plant and came face to face with a red robot with wind generators on both arms.
"Who's your friend?" Superboy asked Robin.
"Didn't catch his name but he plays kind of rough." Robin warned.
"My apologies," the robot replied. "You may address me as Mister Twister."
With that Mister Twister sent to tornados toward the team. Superboy tried running through them but was caught up in it and thrown into a nearby wall.
Robin stood up and Wally put on his goggles. The teenagers nodded at each other.
Kid Flash attacked first, running and aiming a kick at the robot. Mister Twister easily created a tornado and threw him out of the plant.
M'gann and Aqualad attacked next, but they were also caught in one of the robot's tornados.
"I was prepared to be challenged by a superhero." Mister Twister said. "I was not, however, expecting children."
Robin gritted his teeth. "We're not children!" He threw two exploding red batarangs toward Mister Twister. The first one was disrupted by the robot's wind generators while the second one managed to hit him.
"Objectively you are." Mister Twister said as he flicked the batarang out of him before it exploded. "Have you no adult supervision?" The robot taunted. "I find your presence here quite...disturbing."
"Well we hate to see you disturbed." Robin said. "Let's see if your more turbed once we kick your can!"
Dark Angel melted into the shadows.
Miss. Martian pulled down an air vent telepathically. Mister Twister's view was obscured by smoke.
Superboy leaped through the smoke toward the robot. Mister Twister shot a tornado in his direction, causing him to fly back into a wall.
Dark Angel melted out of the shadows behind Mister Twister. She shot a mass wave of darkness toward the robot, who barely stumbled before grabbing Dark Angel and throwing her into Miss. Martian.
Robin and Aqualad raced toward the robot. Mister Twister created two small tornados. Robin and Aqualad were quickly caught up in them and thrown into each other before falling to the ground with a thud.
"Indeed." The robot said as he flew up and started to leave. "That was quite turbing."
Kid Flash sat up from his position outside to find Mister Twister leaving the plant.
Kid Flash ran over to the robot to get his attention.
"What have you done to my team?" He asked.
"Embarrassed them largely." The robot replied. He created a tornado that sent Kid Flash spiraling into the side of the plant.
The smoke cleared to find Kid Flash curled into a ball and floating in mid-air.
"I gotcha, Wally." Miss. Martian said as she and the rest of the team emerged from inside the plant.
"Oh, thanks." Kid Flash said as he was set back down on his feet.
"I would have thought you had all learned your limitations by now." Mister Twister said.
"What do you want?" Aqualad yelled at the robot.
"Isn't it obvious?" Mister Twister asked as he flew up and hovered in the air. "I'm waiting for a real hero."
"Read his mind." Aqualad told Miss. Martian. "Find a weakness."
"I thought I wasn't supposed to do that." Miss. Martian protested.
"It's okay with the bad guys!" Robin explained.
Miss. Martian closed her eyes and focused on Mister Twister.
"Nothing." She said. "I'm getting nothing." She paused for a moment before face palming. "Hello Megan! Mister Twister is Red Tornado in disguise! He's inorganic, an android. And how many androids do you know that can generate tornados?"
"Red Tornado send us here." Aqualad said.
"After saying 'we'd be tested soon enough.' This is his test. A way to keep us busy." Robin said.
"Speedy called it." Kid Flash said. "We're a joke."
"I can't believe Red Tornado would do this to us." Dark Angel said.
"Uh!" Aqualad slammed his fist into his hand before walking toward Mister Twister.
"This game? So over." Kid Flash said as he, Robin, and Dark Angel followed Aqualad.
"We know who you are and what you want." Robin said.
"So let's end this." Aqualad added.
"Consider it ended." Mister Twister said. He raised his arms into the air and started to create a powerful storm.
"An impressive show." Aqualad yelled over the wind. "But we will not indulge you. We will not engage."
Lightning flashed from the storm Mister Twister had created.
"Uh...can Red Tornado do that?" Kid Flash asked.
"You think I'm Tornado?" Mister Twister asked. "Ironic." He sent a bolt of lightning down to the team, sending them all flying back in the explosion.
Superboy stood up and leaped toward Mister Twister, who sent Superboy flying with another bolt of lightning.
As Mister Twister flew down to the fallen teenagers, he found they had disappeared.
"Fine then." The robot said. "I won't deny you children have power."
Wally started to wake up but Megan put a hand over his mouth to keep him quiet.
"But playing hide and seek with you will not help me achieve my objectives." Mister Twister continued. "So stay concealed! If you confront me again, I will show no mercy." With that the robot turned and flew off without another word.
"What happened?" Wally asked Megan once the coast was clear.
"I placed the bio ship between us." Megan explained.
Superboy punched a rock to pieces. "And that's supposed to make it right?" He asked Megan. "You tricked us into thinking Twister was Red Tornado."
"She didn't do it on purpose." Aqualad said.
"It was a rookie mistake." Robin said. "We shouldn't have listened to her."
"You are pretty inexperienced." Kid Flash told Megan.
"Well we're all just as much to blame as she is." Dark Angel spoke up. "We were too quick to think that Red Tornado would test us like that."
They were all quiet for a moment.
Kid Flash broke the silence first. "Hit the showers." He told Megan. "We'll take it from here."
"Stay out of our way." Superboy growled as he walked past her.
Robin, Kid Flash, and Superboy all ran after Mister Twister. Dark Angel squatted down next to Megan.
"I was just trying to be part of a team." Megan said as she bent her head down.
"To be honest, I'm not even sure we have a team." Aqualad said. He turned to Dark Angel. "Are you staying behind as well?"
Dark Angel glanced at Megan.
"Go." Megan told her. "I'll be fine."
"You sure?" Dark Angel asked her.
Megan nodded sadly.
Dark Angel sighed before standing up.
"Well they already got a head start on us so we might as well take the quick route." Dark Angel said as she walked over to Aqualad and grabbed his arm.
Before he could ask what she meant by that they had both dissolved into the shadow of the bio ship.
Back in Happy Harbor, Mister Twister was running a muck. Tornado's surged through the town, destroying buildings and terrorizing the citizens.
"Certainly this will get the required attention." The robot said to himself.
"You got ours!" Kid Flash said as he raced toward Twister. "Full and undivided!" He launched himself into the robot, knocking him back a few feet.
"Immaterial and insufficient-" Mister Twister was interrupted.
"Aw, don't be too hard on yourself." Dark Angel spoke up from where she was standing with a slightly woozy looking Aqualad. "I'm sure your a very material and sufficient robot." She stopped and her eyes widened. "Oh, God. That sounds like something Robin would say."
"Finally somebody sees where I'm coming from!" Robin said.
"Enough!" Mister Twister said. "You all are a distraction I cannot tolerate."
Superboy launched himself at Twister and sent him flying a few feet back. Mister Twister slammed his fists on the ground and sent out two more tornados.
Megan was flying her bio ship back towards Mount Justice.
"The team really needs your help." She begged Red Tornado on the screen.
"If I intervene, it would not be to help." He paused. "Still...it is an odd coincidence that this 'Twister' shares my elemental abilities. And my immunity to telepathy."
Megan thought for a moment then face palmed. "Hello, Megan!"
Aqualad and Robin raced toward Mister Twister. The robot generated a tornado that threw Aqualad into a nearby house. Kid Flash came in next, but just narrowly missed the tornado Twister sent after him. Robin jumped out of the way of one of the tornados and sent exploding batarangs in Twister's direction, which he easily avoided. Dark Angel sent massive rocks flying toward Twister, but he just generated a tornado to send them flying in the opposite direction. Superboy aimed a punch for Twister's head, but the robot flew back, making Superboy pummel the concrete instead. Twister sent a tornado in Superboy's direction and sent him flying into a house. Mister Twister turned to the lake behind him and shot a tornado into the water. The water swirled up into the air, carrying a boat with it. The boat soared toward the same house Superboy had just been thrown into. The boat exploded against a solid black shield. Aqualad picked up the fallen boat motor and ran towards the robot.
Meanwhile, Kid Flash and Robin were taking cover behind a fallen boat. Robin pulled out his utility belt and clipped it around his shoulder.
Kid Flash turned around. "You brought your utility built?"
"'Never leave home without.' First rule Batman taught me." Robin replied.
"Yeah, along with never go to the bathroom without it." Kid Flash muttered.
The team grabbed their heads as Megan's voice flooded to them.
Listen to me, all of you.
"What did we tell you?" Superboy asked angrily.
I know! Megan said. And I know I messed up. But now I'm very clear on what we need to do. Please trust me.
"Get back! Everyone clear the area!" A policemen frantically worked to try to get people out of the city.
Red Tornado flew in over the small city toward the team. "Hit the showers, kids." He said as he landed. "I was hoping you could handle this. Clearly, you cannot."
"But we have a plan now-" Robin started to protest.
Red Tornado interrupted. "The subject is not up for debate."
The team walked away, clearly dismissed.
"I was beginning to think you'd never show up." Mister Twister said.
"I'm here now." Red Tornado reached out his hand and a tornado surged toward Twister.
Twister easily dodged and disrupted that tornado with his own. He sent another tornado towards Red Tornado, but that one was disrupted as well.
"We are evenly matched." Red Tornado said.
"No we are not." Twister slammed his hands down into the earth. He raised his arms and shot lightning at the other robot. Red Tornado tried to dodge but was ultimately hit and knocked to the ground.
Mister Twister slid up to the fallen robot. "Remain still, android." Wires flew down from Twister's fingers and attached to Red Tornado's head. "Reprogramming won't take long."
Red Tornado turned his head and grabbed the wires. His face morphed into Megan's. "Longer than you might think." She said.
"No." Mister Twister stepped back into a tornado and was thrown into the air. Wally stepped out of the tornado as it disappeared.
Superboy caught the robot and punched threw his chest. He sent the android flying into the water.
Aqualad slammed an anchor into Twister and shocked him. The android flew out of the water and landed on the dock.
Dark Angel stepped up to him and reached her arm out. Twister floated into the air, surrounded by dark matter. His arms were ripped out of their sockets.
Still raised in the air, Robin shot exploding batarangs at the android, finally disabling it. Mister Twister fell to the ground with a loud thud.
Twister's chest opened up and a frail looking man stumbled out of it. "Foul...I-I call foul."
The team stepped towards him. Megan turned and telepathically moved a rock over to the man.
"M'gann, no!" Aqualad tried to stop her but Megan slammed the rock down on his head.
The team stood their for a moment, shocked.
Robin angrily walked up to her. "I don't know how things are done on Mars, but on Earth we don't execute our captives!"
Megan smiled. "You said you trust me." She lifted the rock up to show wires and machine parts sticking out of the crushed man. "That's why I couldn't read his mind."
Kid Flash bent down and picked up a fallen eyeball. "Cool. Souvenir."
Aqualad rested his hand on Megan's shoulder. "We should have had more faith in you."
"Yeah," Kid Flash said. "You totally rocked this mission. Get it? Rocked?"
"Ignore him." Robin said.
"Well at least he's right about one thing...Megan you were incredible!" Dark Angel said.
The team continued to talk amongst themselves. No one noticed that the other eyeball was still glowing red.
Two men watched on a small screen as the team was talking.
"Now Brom, aren't you relieved I didn't let you wear the armor?"
Brom turned around, he looked exactly the same as the android who was piloting the suit. "Extremely, Professor." He said. "But, aren't you upset?"
T.O Morrow shook his head. "I'm convinced are tracking program was operational, that the real Tornado is somewhere in the vicinity. Besides," he continued. "even failure can be constructive. And I'd say we learned quite a lot today."
Back on Mount Justice, the team sat around the broken pieces of Android Brom talking over with Red Tornado.
"It was clearly created to sabotage or destroy you." Aqualad said.
"Agreed." Red Tornado said.
"Is that why you wouldn't help us?" Megan asked.
"No." Red Tornado replied. "This was your battle. I don't believe it is my role to solve your problems for you. Nor should you solve mine for me."
Superboy, Kid Flash, and Robin looked up.
"But if your in danger..." Megan started.
"Consider this matter closed." And with that Red Tornado turned and started to leave the room.
"Batman, Aquaman, or Flash would have stepped right in." Kid Flash said. "Even Superman would've lent an extra hand."
"If he wasn't busy moping around." Dark Angel muttered.
"Guess if we're gonna have a babysitter, a heartless machine is exactly what we need." Robin said.
Kid Flash looked at him. "Dude, harsh."
"And inaccurate. I have a heart, carbon steel alloy." Red Tornado turned around. "I also have excellent hearing."
"Heh, he, sorry." Robin apologized. "I'll strive to be...more accurate."
Kaldur wrapped an arm around his shoulder. "And more respectful."
"Or you could just not say things like that while he's still in the room." Katie added with a smirk.
"Speedy was so wrong." Wally said as the four of them walked out of the training room.
"This team thing...might just work out." Kaldur added.
"Might? I think it will." Katie corrected.
Megan and Superboy were left alone. Superboy looked at Megan.
"Sorry." He said before walking out of the room.
Megan smiled after him.
A/N: Sorry for taking so long with this. I had exams to study for. Hope you guys liked it and review!
