Batingency Plans
#32
The wind rushed past his ears at an incredible rate. It was almost like flying, but not. It was falling with style. He looked over to his side and saw the rest of Zeta squad falling along with him.
Let's back things up.
Earlier that day, the Injustice League attacked several cities around the world. It had grown considerably since the last tie they faced it, and there were at least three super villains at seven locations around the world. They had also taken the liberty of setting up a few bombs that needed to be disabled. The Justice League had teamed up with Young Justice to once again save the world.
Nightwing had held back Impulse and Beast Boy to go with him to take out the detonator. They would be safer that way. He had borrowed one of the League's ships and had flown it to Greenland, where the detonator was placed.
With Impulse running the perimeter and Beast Boy watching the skies, it didn't take him long to disable the detonator, therefore saving the world from the bombs. They quickly got back in the ship and flew off into the night.
Below, Black Manta, having been defeated by Aquaman in Atlantis, saw the ship overhead and knew that they had disabled the detonator. He fired off a few shots at them. They had ruined the plan. They would not be allowed to live.
Nightwing noticed the shots and took evasive action. He made the plane duck and roll, but soon it was too much. He saw the laser coming towards the ship and knew he couldn't dodge it in time.
He grabbed Impulse and Beast Boy with several shouts of protest from both, and opened the airlock. He shoved the shocked kids outside and into the wind. A second later, he jumped out, just as the ship exploded behind him.
That brings us up to date. It was times like this he missed the cape. He looked over at his companions. Impulse was trying desperately to create a vortex and lift himself above the surging waves. Beast Boy was in shock, he could have changed into a bird or something, but he didn't.
The three were soon engulfed by the murky green water of the northern Atlantic Ocean. They kicked to the top of the water and looked around hopelessly.
"I feel totally moded," Impulse said. "What are we going to do?"
"Nightwing will get us out of this," Beast Boy said. "Right?"
"Of course. Just give me a minute," Nightwing replied, silently pressing a button on his wrist.
"Can't you use one of those Batplan thingies? I heard they were totally crash!"
Nightwing glared at him. "How do you know about the Batingency Plans?"
"I heard about them in the future. Is there really one for everything?"
Nightwing mentally sighed. "Yes, there's one for pretty much everything. Every time Batman has a problem he creates a Batingency Plan to counter it in case it happens again."
"Is there one for being stuck in the middle of the ocean?" Beast Boy asked.
Nightwing was silent for a moment, then he disappeared. Impulse and Beast Boy started getting panicky.
"Beast Boy, why don't you change into a fish and go down there and find him?" Impulse asked after it showed that searching above the water was doing no good.
"Oh, right!"
He changed into a dolphin and dived beneath the waves. He quickly saw a strange black shape under the water and swam towards it. It was shaped like a bat, with the head containing a clear globe. Nightwing was in it.
Nightwing steered the Batsub to the surface. He didn't have to get pulled into it from underwater, but he kinda wanted to freak them out a bit. As he drew near to the top of the water, he saw a green dolphin swimming around the sub.
Good. Beast Boy has finally gotten with it, he thought.
He opened the hatch and Beast Boy and Impulse climbed in.
"What's this?" Impulse asked, zipping around the small sub.
"Yeah, this is really cool!" Beast Boy said, sitting in one of the chairs and spinning repeatedly around in circles.
Nightwing looked back at them and smiled. "Batingency Plan 32."
So, all the chapters from here on out are going to be set during the Invasion. Hope that's okay.
