Wonder Boy Issue # 2
Previously on Wonder Boy...
Blake and friends saw some photos of an Overseer being put in a container transfer unit from Cadmus...
Blake and a few people of Little Bohemia were warped into one of Brainiac's ships. Blake woke up from his holding tube and escaped with the help of Oracle and Superman...
Blake was safely teleported to Little Bohemia Police Department and was reunited with his parents...
Later that night, his parents told him something he had never known before...
His biological mother is no other than Wonder Woman...
Now on to the next Issue...
I just sat there probably a good 15 minutes, trying to reel in on what my mother just told me.
I blinked my eyes. "You mean to tell me that my mother is... Wonder Woman?" I gasped.
I was starting to hyperventilate as my father went and get me a small paper lunch bag to breath into. I just couldn't grasp of the thought that "THE" Wonder Woman, one of the Trinity, one of the founders of Justice League, is my mother. I immediately got up and ran out the house, didn't care where I was going. I just ran and ran until I couldn't run anymore.
I plopped myself down in front of a fountain trying to control my breath and began to think. I must have been at that spot for about a few minutes, with my face in my hands as I heard footsteps. I looked up and saw a man staring at me eerily weird. I looked up again and the man slowly started to walk towards me who was now pointing at me.
I got up very slowly from my spot. "Um sir, could you please just leave me alone. I don't want any trouble," I warned.
The man was now running towards me like he was possessed. Then all of a sudden, the man was hit back.
I turn around and saw Nightwing standing right next to me. "You're lucky that man haven't reach to you yet," he warned me.
I noticed another man was close to him and I acted immediately. "Look out!" I shouted.
As Nightwing duck I threw a fireball at the man and watch him dissipate. He looked at me with amazement.
Nightwing got up and dusted himself off. "Hmnn, looks like you don't need help after all, but we could use someone like you; especially at a time like this," he said.
That peeked my interest. "What is going on?" I asked.
Nightwing thought about it for a minute. "No, I don't want to say any more. You must get away from this area it is not safe to be out here," he stated.
After that, Nightwing took out his gatling hook gun before I could even say anything. I decided to come home and face the wrath of my parents.
Three days later, I was at school just staring out of the window rethinking about my encounter with the boy wonder when he felt a presence walking up beside him.
My best friend sat down beside me with concern. "Hey man you okay?" he asked.
I just shrugged and sighed. "Yeah I'm great man, I was almost attacked by a possessed man but other than that, peachy," I replied sarcastically.
Allen and I have met during freshman year and during Freshman and Sophomore year, that is when I start developing feelings for him, but as Junior year was upon us, that feeling was gone, now he was like a brother I never had.
Allen was shocked at that news. "WHAT! Wait, you said almost attacked, what happen?" he wondered.
I turn to look at him. "Man it was an experience I will never forget. Nightwing, one of the members of the Teen Titans came out of nowhere and just knocked out this guy. Then there was another one behind him and I was like, Yo' Man watch out behind you! It was amazing," I explained as I made up the last part of my unfortunate event.
Just then 2 of my other friends Kelvin and Weldon came over. "Hey guys did you hear?" Kelvin asked.
Both Allen and I looked at each other. "The Teen Titans has been gone within 48 hours, nobody hasn't seen them; not even the Justice League," Weldon explained.
That definitely was news for sure. Suddenly, I felt my phone buzzed and checked it out.
It reads.
"CHECK THIS MESSAGE- IT'S URGENT! - Oracle"
I made an excuse to go use to the restroom to check out what Oracle wanted. Once I made it to the men's room, I checked the stalls to see if anyone is in the room.
I checked my video message. "Urgent News! The demon Trigon has possessed Raven utterly. You must free and save Raven from her father's evil. The Titans were last seen at the Science Police Headquarters, " Oracle reported.
I hanged up the phone and trying to figure out a way to leave the school. Just as I was thinking a way to figure out how to get out of school, the bell rang, which saves me the time to get out and help the Titans.
As I left the school grounds I forgot that the Science Police Headquarters was on the other side of the Tomorrow District. I remember back in Brainiac's ship, I remember falling down and was floating in air.
This will look totally bonkers but I have to try something as I walked towards the edge of the Boardwalk and looked down. Yeup, it is a pretty good fall alright. I look left and right to make sure nobody was around or someone will think I was suicidal.
Once I got up on the ledge, I jumped off. "Come on, Concentrate Blake!" I told myself.
The ground were rapidly approaching and nothing is happening as another minute passes and I'm still falling.
I started to panic. "I didn't think this thoroughly!" I called out.
I was now waiting for my pending doom when suddenly I stopped falling. The only thing that felt different was that I didn't feel like I hit the ground.
I opened my eyes filled with shock and excitement. "I'm floating, I'M FLOATING! I AM FREAKING FLOATING!" I shouted out loud.
Now the question is, how do I start to fly?
I look down at my feet as I hovered to the ground. Firmly, I planted on the ground and raised up a few inches into the air. I looked up into the blue sky overhead with astonishment and then started to feel joy. With a sudden impulse I shoot straight upward. I managed to do some loops, rolls, swoops and circles, laughing with sheer delight.
Once I finished learning how to fly, I swooped down to the edge of the water as the water splashes in all directions, I pulled out of my dive and flew towards the direction of the Science Police Headquarters.
My phone beeped letting me know I have a message as I answered it, expecting Oracle's face appeared on my phone's screen.
What shocked me was Wonder Woman, my mother. "Trigon is using his daughter, the Titan Raven, to spread his foul energy. Then he will destroy her. Both Raven and the city are doomed unless we stop Trigon," she explained as she ended the message.
I almost shed a tear just looking at my biological mother and she is alive. I had another incoming message.
This time it was Oracle. "I'm trying to raise Starfire and the other titans, but no word since they went into the Science Police Headquarters. I'm calling Zatanna to back you up," she explained.
I have finally arrived at the Science Police Headquarters when I received another incoming message.
It was another message from Wonder Woman. "Trigon holds Raven thrall to his dark will inside the headquarters. We must free her! But first, use your power to stop the demons spawning and lending their power to Trigon outside the headquarter walls," she explained.
How am I supposed to fight demons was the only question in my head. I flew down and landed successfully as I look around to find some kind of weapon. So far I found a baton and a police shield as I picked up the two weapons and get ready to defeat some demons.
I went around the premises to destroy vortexes and help protect medics and civilians attacking different types of demons. I finally made it to the main entrance of the headquarters.
I received another incoming video message. "Raven fought her father's evil all her life. To have him possess her now must be a living nightmare. A real one, since now all the Titans are off com...Even Nightwing," Oracle explained.
That must have been awful, having a deity who is full of evil and pure darkness as a parent. I better act fast, the Titans are counting on me.
I made it inside the headquarters, but it wasn't easy as I fought my way to the center of the building rescuing innocent lives from the corrupted souls. I have come to a stop when I see in front of me Cyborg, Starfire, Nightwing, a girl who looks like my mother and Raven; the members of Teen Titans.
Something wasn't right. "FOOL, YOU THINK YOU CAN CHALLENGE ME!" the possessed Raven said rhetorically.
I've noticed the Titans weren't doing anything just standing there. "Guys, snap out of it!" I tried.
Nothing happened, no response. "CYBORG, GO AND DESTROY YOUR SAVIOR!" the possessed Raven commanded.
Cyborg then turn around to face me, cracking his knuckles and rolling his neck. "You're looking for trouble, you've came to the right place," he said rhetorically.
Cyborg came at me as I block and do anything I could to get out of his attacks. I did some acrobatic stunts, use my shield to block his attacks and couldn't really fight back, I felt it wouldn't be right since he is not a villain.
I ducked out of Cyborg's beam. "Cyborg, snap out of it. I don't want to fight you," I said trying to get him to come out of his trance.
However, sometimes when there is a tough situation as this, I have no choice but to try and get them out of their trance.
So I tried my best to fight back. It was a tough fight for sure, but I manage to stand on my own. Then something happen, I did a move what is called the Superman punch. I jumped up in the air and got ready to knock out Cyborg when my fist was engulfed in flames. Once my fist had made contact, Cyborg was knock down. I was looking at my fist, as it wasn't engulfed in flames anymore, but then I felt a little pain.
I hissed knowing my fist is going to feel a severe pain. "Man, I guess that is what I get for punching a man with metallic body parts," I winced.
Cyborg stood up shaking the cobwebs out of his head. "Whoa, what is going on?" he asked.
I stood next to Cyborg getting ready to fight. "Now it's not the time, we have trouble," I stated.
The possessed Raven held out her arms. "You cut one puppet's strings, but I have more. Starfire! Kill them!" she said.
Next a girl with golden skin and red fiery hair was the next Titan to attack. She was definitely tricky as she flies around and throws these flame bombs at me and Cyborg.
Cyborg and I blocked and used all attacks on Starfire. With the two of us, we managed to get her out of Raven's spell.
Starfire winced as she stood up. "Cyborg! Why are you and I...fighting?" she wonders.
Cyborg and I walked up to Starfire to help her stand. "Trigon has been using Raven to control all of us," Cyborg explained.
The possessed Raven continued her attacks. "Nightwing! You are powerless to resist me! Destroy them!" she commanded.
Nightwing, got to hand it to him, he's the best in combating with. He was tough, he knows most of Cyborg's and Starfire's moves. He had the most issues fighting with me, since we barely know each other besides a mere acquaintance. I did a tornado kick when my leg engulfed in flames knocking Nightwing back.
Nightwing stumbles as his trance vanished. "We can't stop now. Raven still controls Donna!" Starfire said.
Cyborg, Starfire and Nightwing was wrapped around with a golden lasso. "Donna Troy, obey Trigon's will...and destroy the Titans!" The possessed Raven commanded.
Donna Troy pulled the lasso and flung Nightwing, Starfire and Cyborg across the room as it was just the two of us now. I looked at her and saw a resemblance of Wonder Woman, I wondered if she is related to my mother?
We put up a good fight as we were evenly matched as we blocked and use every attacks we can throw at each other. Donna Troy was distracted when Nightwing threw some kind of stun grenade as I have the opportunity to sucker punch her.
Cyborg helped Donna Troy to get up. "FOOLS! THE INEVITABLE IS ALREADY UPON YOU! THIS WORLD IS MINE!" The Possessed Raven said in anger.
We all gathered around. "Man, I thought I knew I can count on you," Nightwing joked.
Donna Troy, Starfire and Cyborg looked me over. "You know him Nightwing?" Donna Troy asked.
Cyborg came up to me and patted my shoulder. "I got to say it, you held your own in here, nice work," he complimented.
Donna walked up to me as well and welcomed me with loving arms. "Thanks for jumping in! Raven is fighting Trigon, but his hold is getting stronger! We have to find her and help her," she explained genuinely.
I nodded at her explanation. "I am happy to help, any which way I can, what do we do now?" I asked.
Nightwing went to the computer in the center and unlocked each doors. "The best chance we got is to split up and search the place. Starfire and I will go and search the upper levels," he instructed.
Donna Troy decided to stay on the same level as we are. "Sounds like a plan. Hotshot and I will go to the holding level. C'mon!" Cyborg added.
We split up to search the whole building. The Science Police Headquarters was definitely like a maze. We fought our way to the holding level battling Trigon's minions. The last holding cell, I see a girl with a magician outfit minus the pants that's been replaced by fishnet stockings and heels. I also see the real Raven floating in the air as Zatanna channels all her magic to help her friend.
Cyborg walked up to the girl. "Zatanna, so lucky we have found you," he called out.
Zatanna looks over at her shoulders. "Ah, finally, Trigon's power is getting stronger. I only have enough strength to send one of you guys in and help save Raven's soul," she explained.
Cyborg and I almost stepped at the platform when Trigon's minion appears. "Hotshot, you go on ahead, I'll hold them off," Cyborg suggested.
I began to feel nervous, I never fought a demon before. I looked both at Zatanna and Cyborg and see the determination and courage in their eyes. I took a deep breath and stepped onto the platform.
I was immediately transported what appears to be inside of Raven's mind. "You have the nerve and the audacity to enter my domain . I shall end your pathetic existence and then take out everything standing me way," the possessed Raven threatened.
I gulped. "Give up Trigon and release Raven now!" I demanded.
Just then possessed Raven multiplied as each one attacks me. I was thrown left and right and bombarded with energy projection missiles. Then I noticed four white ravens appears and helped me defeat the duplicates. All that is left is the remaining possessed Raven.
Suddenly, the real Raven dressed in all white appeared in front of me and the possessed Raven. "Ah, Daughter has returned. Join me!" Trigon insisted.
Raven got ready to fight. "Not anymore father. You have done enough, it is time to end you!" she fought back.
It was possessed Raven vs Raven and myself as we teamed up to battle against Trigon. I used my fire power as Raven use her magic powers. We've fought valiantly dodging and attacking while coming up with different attacks.
The possessed Raven slouched. "No, I was so close. I will be back daughter and I will get you and your friends," Trigon threatened.
Raven turns around and held out her hand to help me up. "You have fought bravely and help saved my soul. That I am eternally grateful; however, this is not the end. Trigon will come back at days to come," Raven foretells.
Raven casted a warp to escape the realm we were in and was transported outside of the Science Police Headquarters with Nightwing, Starfire, Donna Troy, Zatanna and Cyborg were all waiting.
The team reach out to Raven. "Oh thank goodness you're all right Raven," Starfire said.
I was observing the group and I notice Donna Troy stop celebrating with her team and came up to me.
I straightened myself up. "You remind me of someone," Donna stated.
I blushed. "I was hoping you would help me with something, it's something I just discovered myself," I explained.
The rest of the group walked up to us. "We owe you a big thanks man, whatever you need, we got you," Nightwing said.
I thought for a second. "Actually there is something you can help me with. You see I was wondering if you know something about Wonder Woman," I wondered.
Everyone looked at me as if I have 2 heads. "What must you know?" Donna Troy asked.
I took a deep breath. "You see, I found out three days ago that she is my mother and that is there a way I can meet her," I replied hesitantly.
Everyone gasped. "She never told anyone she gave birth to a child. It must have been a reason, come we'll take you to her," Donna Troy suggested.
Cyborg opens a communicator on his arm guard and opens a portal. Six of us entered the portal as we were immediately teleported to a huge satellite.
The sight was amazing watching all different types of heroes mingle and traveling in different types of movements.
Nightwing stepped up right next to me. "This is the Watchtower, home of the Justice League and other heroes that comes here to help fight the big fight," Nightwing said.
We walked to a teleporter and as we stepped into it, we were teleported to what appears to be a hall.
There I see Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman talking. "This is the Hall of Justice, this is where we held up our meetings," Cyborg stated.
I looked past the group and see my mother standing by Batman and Superman. I wiped my hands on my pants beginning to feel really nervous. Batman and Superman looked at me and then finally Wonder Woman looked at me.
I stopped a few feet away from them. "Mother…" I said.
To be continue….
