#HeroicIntros

A short time after leaving the school and taking a quick bus ride to Midtown Metropolis, the group of teens found themselves at the Metropolis Mall. The largest mall in at least America, if not the world.

"Ah, I love this place. You can buy basically anything and nobody bats an eye." Nolan said as Karen nodded.

"Why does it sound like you speak from experience?" Zatanna asked skeptically.

"We do," They both said together, "How do you think we build any of our equipment?" Karen asked.

Kara opened her mouth and seemed to consider it for a moment then gave a slight nod and a shrug. It made sense. Besides they weren't here for that, they were here to help Diana fit in.

"By the white beard of Zeus! What is this place?" Diana asked. This was not going to be easy, they could all already tell.

"Okay, so normal teen lesson number 1: Don't say things like 'By the white beard of Zeus.' Number 2: You have to look the part!" Barbara said, speaking so fast that she was hard to understand as she dragged Diana towards the nearest clothing shop. Just as the other girls entered, Kara looked behind and noticed that Johnny and Nolan were staying behind.

"You two coming or what?" She asked.

"Don't mind us, cher. We gonna sit this one out while you find Diana some new duds," Johnny said with a small smile.

"Whatever you say, gumbo," She said with a wave of her hands as she walked into the store, following the other girls' lead.

"Oh, wait, Karen, I have something for you," Nolan said as they all stopped and stared when he pulled a black credit card from his wallet and handed it over to Karen, causing jaws to drop.

"Here. Buy whatever you all want or need." Nolan said as Karen smiled a wide, but nervous smile.

"You sure?"

"Yeah, knock yourselves out," He shrugged before gesturing to the shop, Barbara smiled, grabbing all the girls and somehow pushing them all into the shop.

As they left, Johnny couldn't help but chuckle as he turned and left in the opposite direction of the clothing store.

"What's so funny?" Nolan asked as he followed the Cajun through the mall.

"I must say, Stark. You got a lotta faith in that little one to trust her with your credit card," Johnny responded, to which Nolan chuckled a bit himself.

"I trust no one more than Karen. She's level headed. Besides, it's rather unlikely they'll ever spend all my money, you know?"

"Fair enough, mon amis. Anyways, here's my stop. If we're going to do this whole hero thing, I need to stock up on ammo." Johnny said before entering a store. Nolan looked up at the sign and found that it was a card and game shop. Nolan stared after him for a moment, and then he shrugged.

"Eh, I have nothing better to do." He muttered and followed his new comrade inside.

Nolan looked around the store and examined a self-moving chess board while Johnny grabbed hold of several packs of standard playing cards.

Johnny walked up to the woman at the front desk and placed the packets in front of her. The second the woman saw Johnny flashing her a smile, she gave him a dreamy look.

"Would that be all, handsome?" the woman asked while keeping her eyes on Johnny's.

"For the moment, mademoiselle," Johnny replied before giving his own flirty reply. "Unless your phone number is in one of these cards."

The woman giggled as she began to scan the cards.

Nolan couldn't help but roll his eyes. Having a billionaire former playboy as a father had exposed him to a lot of cheesy pick-up lines and flirting. He figured that the best thing to do was to ignore it, but he couldn't help but feel the need to roll his eyes. Nolan decided to focus on something else rather than the exchanging flirts.

"Why do you need so many cards?" Nolan asked, looking at the different decks.

"You've got your suit, and I've got my powers," Johnny said after he paid for the cards. getting a decent discount and a phone number. "Besides, you never know when one will need an ace up their sleeve."

"Fair enough," Nolan replied before noticing that the girls were walking out of the clothing store. "They're out. Come on."

The two young men walked out of the game shop, and were slightly shocked to see the many bags that the girls were carrying and Diana's new look. She no longer wore the Amazonian battle armor, but instead wore a white shirt under a red sweater, a blue skirt that was cut above the knees, long white socks, red shoes, and a golden tiara on her head.

"Still thinking that letting them have your credit card was a wise choice?" Johnny asked with the shadow of a smile.

"I-I'm sorry, Nolan. But as soon as they saw it, I couldn't stop them," Karen said with a nervous look.

"Next time I'll go with you to keep that from happening," Nolan said as he looked at the receipt.

"Boys, allow me to present the new foreign exchange student: Diana Prince," Zee presented.

"She certainly looks the part," Johnny said with a grin.

"Now that we have her looking the part of an average teen. It's time to go try our first hero exercise!" Barbara said happily.

The group of young heroes in training all gathered up on the rooftop of a building away from the mall. Diana stood in front of the heroes, as they were all in a single file, like a drill sergeant. She wore her Wonder Woman armor once more and was prepared to see what her new allies were capable of.

"Sisters and brothers in arms, if we are to be heroes for the world of man we must be ready by knowing our strengths and weaknesses," Diana said before stopping in front of Jessica. "You! Name. Power. Rank. Go!"

Jessica Cruz felt a little on the spot but answered regardless.

"Um, hello, I'm, uh, Jessica Cruz and I belong to a group known as the Green Lantern Corps. and we're like space cops and... um..." Jess explained only seeing a confused Diana. "Anyway, I can make stuff with this ring."

Jessica pulled out her hand with the Green Lantern ring and created a green construct of a tennis racket.

This earned several wows from the rest of the team.

"Ooh, can you make a pogostick?" Barbara asked.

Jessica replied by creating a pogostick construct.

"Do a burrito!" Barbara said before Jessica created the construct.

"Now do a-" Barbara began only for Nolan to place a hand on her mouth.

"We get it, Babs," Nolan said. "It appears that the ring has some sort of mental connection with the user and anything that he or she may think of will be constructed by sheer will power."

"Yes, but how did you know that?" Jessica asked.

"My dad has met some alien heroes with similar weapons," Nolan admitted. "He's even tried to replicate them."

"With this ring of the gods, you can create any weapon to defeat your enemies," Diana said as she examined the ring.

Jessica pulled back her hand with an uncomfortable look on her face.

"Yes, but I do not believe in violence," Jessica said.

"That is very admirable. We can work with that," Diana said. "Now by what name shall you be known?"

Jessica focused the power of her ring before the green energy covered her body. In a flash of green light, Jessica was now dressed in a green and black skin tight suit with white gloves and boots and a green lantern symbol on her chest and left eye.

"Green Lantern, I guess? Kinda comes with the ring," She replied.

"Let's hope it doesn't become confusing later on," Nolan said before pulling his hand off of Barbara's mouth.

"Barbara, your turn," Diana said, pointing to the red head. "What can you do?"

"Well, I don't have superpowers like some of you, but I do have great detective skills, and I've made a ton of gadgets and tools to help me fight against criminals like these batarangs, bat grappling hook, smoke bombs, bat shark repellent, binoculars, communicators, a bat-barometer, bat staff," Barbara explained on as she put on her bat suit.

"You lack focus," Diana abruptly said.

"Say wha?" Barbara asked, a tiny bit hurt at the comment.

Barbara now wore a purple bat suit with yellow bat symbol on her chest, yellow gloves, boots, a yellow utility belt, a bat cape and a cowl with pointy bat ears on her head.

Diana moved up to Nolan.

"Nolan, what can you bring to this team?" Diana asked the young man.

Nolan took out a metal case from his backpack and set it on the ground before opening it to reveal all manner of metal bits and pieces. He stepped onto the case before squatting down and grabbing a pair of handles inside. The case suddenly reacted as it began to morph and form around him, turning into a silver and red suit of armor similar to Iron Man's.

"Call me Iron Knight," He said right before the helmet closed around his face, showing off the built in scowl of the armor.

"Very impressive, I must say," Diana commented.

"The best offense is a good defense," Nolan replied.

"Indeed," She said with a small smile.

Diana then moved on to Zee to see what she was capable of.

"Zee, what abilities do you possess?" Diana asked.

"Well, I am the amazing, awe inspiring, magical Zatanna!" Zee said as she turned her clothes into a magician's tuxedo with a top hat on her head.

"What exactly can you do?" Diana asked.

"She'll probably just pull a rabbit out of her hat," Nolan said.

"I can do more than that, Stark. I can turn a red heart black," She said, turning an Ace of Hearts into an Ace of Spades with a wave of her hand, "Have you ever seen a Jumping Jack?" She asked, making a Jack of Clubs vanish, "Check behind your ear," She finished, gesturing toward Diana.

Diana did as Zee said and found the jack hiding behind her ear.

"What manner of sorcery is this?" Diana asked before dropping the jack to the ground.

"Ever hear of sleight of hand?" Nolan retorted.

Zee narrowed her eyes at Nolan before snapping her fingers.

Nolan's faceplate opened up as a bouquet's worth of flower petals came out of Nolan's mouth.

"Magical enough for you?" Zee asked teasingly.

"Until I can prove it otherwise," Nolan replied.

"You have great power Zatanna, but you must focus your power into a cause. Our cause," Diana said. "And this outfit won't do. You must think of another."

"What?" Zee asked, almost insulted.

Barbara snuck up to Zee and whispered into her ear.

"Try a cape," She said, Zatanna seeming to consider the proposal.

Diana walked up to Johnny, hoping to see what the second male member of the team is capable of.

"Johnny, please show us what you are capable of," Diana said.

"Well it's like this: I'm what people call a Mutant, and as such I've inherited my powers from my parents. Mostly my daddy's side," Johnny said before pulling out one of his card decks, "Allow me to demonstrate. First we charge the card," He said as he took out a random card from the deck (a Ten of Diamonds). It began to glow from his touch as he smirked, "Then we blow it up!" He finished as he tossed the card into the air like a throwing star where it indeed blew up with the force of a frag grenade.

"Impressive! And what name will you choose for yourself?" Diana asked.

"Simple: Ace," He said with a smirk.

"Really? Ace? That's what you're going with?" Kara asked with a snort. "Ego much,"

"I prefer 'short and to the point', cher," Johnny said. "Besides, you never know when you could use one," He said with a wink, causing Kara to blush and turn her head away as Diana went over to Karen, who was putting her makeshift armor together.

"What is your skill set, young Karen?" Diana asked Karen.

"W-Well, um I don't have powers but I did put this armor together," Karen said as she finished putting on her armor. "It's not as cool as Nolan's but I can do this."

Karen pushed a button, activating her armor. She shrunk down to the size of a little fairy that resembled a bumblebee.

"Oh no, the wings aren't supposed to buzz like that," Karen groaned. "Why does my own tech work against me?"

"Do not despair little bumblebee, you may be small but your courage is truly great!" Diana said in encouragement.

"Actually, I was thinking of calling myself Hypersonic Mega Striking-" Karen began.

"Bumblebee," Diana said, cutting her off.

"Don't take it personally, Karen. I think it suits you," Nolan said, hoping to cheer her up, getting a small (Well, extra small given her size) blush from the insect-sized girl as well as a nervous giggle.

Diana then moves up to Kara, who up until this point looked away and pretended to be uninterested.

"Kara, I've seen your great strength firsthand, but what other abilities do you possess?" Diana asked.

"Sorry princess, but I ain't a hero," Kara replied. "Every time I use my powers, I get in trouble. So no."

"Oh come on, cher. I've shown you mine, won't you show me yours," Johnny teased, getting Kara to blush and groan.

"You could be the most powerful defender of the world of man," Diana said while an idea popped in her head. "All you need is… MOTIVATION!" She said before grabbing Johnny and throwing him away.

Everyone else gasped as Johnny flew up into the sky.

"What did you just do!?" Nolan asked, about to try and fly after the falling Cajun.

Kara saw him plummeting to the ground, and on instinct grabbed hold of her shirt. She pulled it apart, revealing a diamond shield with an 'S' inside it before flying after Johnny. She caught him just before he could crash against the street.

Kara flew back to the rooftop now wearing a long sleeved blue shirt, a red skirt that reached just above her knees, red boots, and a flowing red cape that billowed behind her dramatically.

"Alright, fine. I'm a superhero, okay," Kara said in defeat as she carried Johnny bridal style.

"Indeed, now we can proceed to the next step of our heroic journey," Diana proclaimed as she led the group toward their next destination.

"Now hold on, I'm in no rush," Johnny said, smiling at Kara. "This is quite comfortable."

Kara sighed before dropping the Cajun on the rooftop.
