61394: again, lets see how Storm goes first. If she seems to warm up to you, she'll be with Robin, If not, I'll send her to Superboy at my earliest convenience. It all really depends.
Guest: I do plan on adding street names later, and Starfire is my current choice to round up Robin. I have no current set number for Superboy and Kid Flash.
Oh, speaking of Superboy, I'll finish up the Kid Flash thing here, and try to penultimate the Doom origin. Once that is done, we go back to team Superboy for a while, and feature the return of a older character: everyone's favorite canadian!
Recap
What would Paige need? How were they going to make this work...particularly when none of them could really control the possibilities of more being affected, like future Wally had spoken of, let alone what he said about Superboy...
However, her brooding was interrupted as the local critters were startled out of their hiding spots, as something...unnatural began to approach.
A pale figure began to emerge from the forest, a white cloaked man with top hat and staff, with a monocle. Artemis paled, the figure was a ghost.
"Hello, inbred street rat. Your termination is upon you"
End Recap
Virginia
Artemis pointed her bow at the ghost, who had a conceited grin.
"A arrow...you expect to beat me with an arrow!?" Artemis fired her arrow, which went right through the specter...
And unleashed a sonic blast.
"AHHHH!" the Ghost apparently could hear, and be disoriented by massive sonic blasts.
"GOD DAMN!" and so could the three sex knackered teens.
"What the...is that a ghost?" Rose starred at the disheveled spirit, not minding she was buck naked.
"Probably just a mutated human trapped in a phase shift that caused himself to have all around bleaching..."
"I hate atheists" The ghost silenced Wally's science rant as he finally got his wits back from the sonic blast.
"No, I'm agnostic..."
"Okay, so not the time for one of your anti magic spewls!" Artemis yelled at him as the ghost attempted to grab her. Artemis managed to avoid his touch and jumped back.
"I remember a similar case to this guy some time ago...according to my uncle they captured him with some of Zatara's advanced reality manipulation techniques" Artemis gave him another look.
Wally, after a year with Zatanna, had came up with a scientific way of explaining the ability of Zatanna to a scientific way. Artemis found it to be annoying, but it did keep Wally happy.
"Yeah, problem is none of us possess 'advanced reality manipulation' skills" Artemis complained "For that matter, I am the only one here with cloths!"
"I thought I felt cold" Rose said absently.
"Also, it was also known that the phase trapped metahuman was unable to harm virgins...so Superman was able to take him down. It really is bad timing..."
The ghost attempted to grab Wally, who sped backwards rapidly to avoid him. Rose then attempted to cut him down with her sword, thought still out of any uniform, which failed.
"Particularly since that metahuman, and this one as it seems, had the ability to put people in a near death state by a 'touch'
"SHUT IT YOU INTOLERABLE ATHEIST!"
"AGNOSTIC!" Wally again streaked to avoid a death touch, and Husk as well, though she unconsciously husked into a wood bodied frame while doing so.
'"Oh yeah...and the metal stuff the Hawks used hurt the metahuman a lot"
"And you took so long to say that, why Baywatch!?"
"...My head is groggy after the sex...and a lack of sleep..."
"Fine" Artemis fired another arrow, this time one that released a smokescreen around the ghost, who looked around with his lack of a visible head.
"What trickery is this, you street rat!"
"Paige...you need to turn yourself into Nth metal..."
"What metal?"
"The kind the hawks use!"
Husk shifted her form, but came out as the wrong metals: iron, copper, gold and some sort of sound sucking metal...
"Urg, I am off...I can do that now" Wally slapped himself, as his body husked, his skin shedding off and forming into a shiny black metal: Nth metal.
The same time, Paige returned to her normal shape and size.
He then burst in a super speed burst straight at the smoke, as the ghost had blown the smokescreen out of his way with his staff...
Just in time to have a speed force powered, Nth metal bullet slam into his chest.
Steaming and wailing with agony, the ghost dissolved, as Wally lost his metal sheen, returning to normal.
"My powers can really do that..." Paige muttered to herself in a southern accent "can any of y'all show me how...I can't understand them at all..."
"Can you ever truly comprehend some powers" Rose muttered to herself, not able to control her limited foresight.
"I see" Wally commented ...:I think I could probably help you there Paige, but first of all... how well do you know your Periodic Table?" if she, as Wally seemed to notice, change her form into other metals, a knowledge of chemistry would be a necessity.
"I got a D in Chemistry" she said bleakly.
"...This is going to take a while...I am going to need pants"
"And birth control pills..."
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH !"
"We just ran out last night...chill Speedy"
Wales
Ah, Wales...that little side area of the UK you never here about, but has a very interesting accent, was covered in mountains of tranquil fancy and
Impulse didn't like it...the place smelled like coal, and he was on a detour: he had already seen the U.K but had to turn back from his intended tour of Russia due to those two Russians: Colossus and Magik.
He was in Wales to throw them off before he took the middle eastern route into Asia...not expecting to really see much.
He only mildly noticed the girl biking up above...not even really catching what her hair color was, but then it happened.
This part of the country had suffered damage from the Amazo-Sentinel attack...including a lingering detonating device.
Very much like a land mine...
And what does happen when little girls bike over land mines?
KABOOM
The girl was sent flying, just as Impulse turned in horror, expecting to see the girl plummeting to her death...or blown up, a sight that he was sadly used to.
However, seeing a girl whose hair suddenly turned pink, grew elf ears and giant, fairy wings of shimmering, rainbow color, was not what he was expecting to see.
Because other than that, she was the average green shirted, jean wearing welsh pre teen.
Impulse couldn't help but wonder if this was a mutagen thing, or a metagene. Those things did naturally exist, and tended to activate in situations like this...
"What the...I'm flying?" the girl said in shock...an expected occurrence for someone who just grew wings.
Impulse sped up, carefully in case of any more explosives, to see the newly empowered super heroine of about Ben's age "Hello there...can I call you Tinkerbell?"
"My name is Megan Gwynn" she said tersely. Perhaps she didn't find the name funny.
"Erm...I already know a Megan, so I'll just call you Pixie..."
The now quite annoyed girl, who had landed on the ground, glared at him visibly, causing her wings to shimmer as a dust began to glitter out of them.
"Oh don't tell me, Faith, Trust and Pixie Dust..." Impulse began, before he breathed some spores in...as the entire world began to become what could only be described as a acid trip.
The space around Impulse became multi color, the sun turned purple, the trees began to dance, and Impulse was suddenly surrounded by the Light...
If they were from the seventies. Vandal Savage was dressed in bell bottoms, with only a small jacket and no shirt, tassles and colored shades, Ra's al Ghul was wearing a Peace T shirt. had a Vote for Nixon button, more tassels and bell bottoms, Bee had a Mini Skirt and a sports bra on decorated with hearts, Klarion looked normal, if immensely stoned, Black Manta, who appeared to have replaced Ocean Master, had the Brain on his head, who vaguely looked like an Afro, and Lex Luthor's head was a freaking disco ball, and in a leisure suit.
Then they started to dance and sing.
"...I don't need try to control you
Look into my eyes and I'll own you
With them moves like Luthor
I've got the moves like Luthor"
I've got the mooooooves like Luthor..."
"AHHHHHHH!"
Pixie the entire time was watching the boy, and was quite visibly alarmed as he seemed to be freaking out.
"What the blood hell is wrong with you?"
Erm, anything but Impulse's very bad horror show: Richard Grayson's castle: Eastern Hungary
Zatanna uneasily began to open her eyes to find herself in a giant container: made up of a see through material that, despite her punching attempts, did not break, bullet proof glass perhaps? Glowing wires seemed to connect her pod to that of a center container: this one with a door and far more resembling the inside of something that radiated energy at a center target, such as a microwave, than a prison like the one she was in.
In the middle of this container, was a suit of armor with a green cape. It looked pretty creepy.
She could see she was in one of three similar containers to hers: the others holding Donna, who was bashing at the container and giving a good demonstration of how it would not be broken out of, and the thief girl, who was blasting at the container much more frantically, and screaming LET ME OUT constantly.
Perhaps she was claustrophobic?
Scary thing was, both Barbara and Dick were missing.
"RETTAHS!" Zatanna attempted to smash the container, but for some reason her magic failed.
The sound of footsteps echoed through the lab that was their prison, stopping her escape attempts briefly, as a older man, with black hair and a acrobats build...who very scarily resembled Robin, entered their range of sight.
In fact, if Zatanna didn't have a very good feeling it wasn't him (Which was probably a chip function), she would worry that Dick had trapped them here somehow.
"HEY! HOW DARE YOU IMPRISON A AMAZON, YOU SOMEWHAT ATTRACTIVE LOOKING MALE! I WILL CRUSH YOU LIKE..." Donna began to yell as the man pressed a button.
Donna was electrocuted, and the screaming girl crashed to the ground in pain.
"Silence you little skank" The man said darkly "I have no empathy for creatures who seduced my nephew and broke sacred Romani traditions*"
"NEPHEW!?" Zatanna said in shock. This was Dick's uncle...the crippled one who lived.
"Yes, my nephew was stolen from me by that play boy Bruce Wayne...and now I shall take him back...after I make him into my apprentice and fix the damages of the Batman"
"Your going to brain wash him!" Zatanna demanded in a fury
"Not just him, you pathetic little gold diggers are unfortunately staying figures due to those vile chips: though I'll probably find him a proper wife and just have you as the help in all things...with him anyway"
Doctor Doom was many things, but a statutory rapist he was not .
"Though the thief will probably be used as an electric generator"
With a wave of his hand, he activated the pods sound proofing, seeing as screams did not particularly cause him joy. He then walked over and pressed a few buttons on the center pod.
"Commencing, Power Replication for Doom Armor Mark 1"
* The Romani people, or at least stricter ones, are very strict about marrying other Romani. This is what Doctor Doom is referring to.
