Chapter XXII: Early Warning.
Last Time.
Gotham City December 08, 00:01 EST.
Aquaman is meeting in the Batcave with Batman's team and Wonder Woman. He explains to them that he received a tip, last week, from Lagoon Boy about the lost Reach warship being salvaged by Intergang. He explains that they did a raid and shut down Intergang's operation, but not before Whisper and her team escaped with the three War Bugs.
Miss Martian then explains that they found out that Whisper was planning on selling the ships at a black-market auction. But first, they wanted to test them out in Brooklyn. She explains that Aquaman showed up to throw the fight until Gar and his Team could get there. And that Nobody expected the warship to launch as well, but they all believe that Gar and his Team did well.
Miss Martian then brings up all sorts of posts showing how far the Outsiders popularity has reached.
"As their leader and supervisor, should Beast Boy or Kage be included among us?" Aquaman asked Miss Martian who sighed.
"No, I don't think Garfield's ready for this, and I don't think Naruto would do it. They have their own mission."
"Which is most promising, for our mission as well," Aquaman said, crossing his arms.
Now.
Gotham City, December 14, 19:09 EST.
Naruto in a black suit with a black undershirt and red tie cut a steak as Zatanna in a black backless dress ate her meal in the restaurant they're eating in.
Naruto smiled at her, catching her attention. "What?"
"Just glad, you seem happy. That's a little rare this time of year."
"I am Happy Naruto, it's just… Sometimes I think of dad."
"I know Z, I wish there was something I Could do… We'll figure something out or, and I'm sad to say but maybe find a new host for the jackass."
Zatanna giggled at the way he treated Nabu before they went back to eating.
Chicago December 19, 16:16 CST.
"Outsiders, away!" Beast Boy as a hawk yelled as his Squad ran into a bank and into the large vault that held money as well as deposit boxes of jewelry.
Getting in, they saw five mask men with duffel bags full of money before they attacked. Blue Beetle flew down and punched one man as Wonder Girl lashed another. Kid Flash sped to another as Beast Boy turned into a bull and ran another out before Wonder Girl flew after and picked him up in front of a crowd.
Gotham City; Naruto's Penthouse December 21, 08:00 EST.
Naruto wearing black pajama pants walked in the kitchen for a glass of juice before hearing the TV was on with Courtney Whitmore at Goode World's Studio reporting on the newly dubbed Outsiders.
"This is Courtney Whitmore! Your very own Star Girl reporting on today's hottest stars!" She said as a photo of Beast Boy with Geo-Force, Blue Beetle, and Kid Flash photos coming up around her. "The Outsiders led by Beat Boy AKA Space Trek star Garfield Logan. The Outsiders include Geo-Force, Better known as Prince Brion Markov of Markovia. Blue Beetle and Kid Flash!"
She put a hand on her hip as pictures of Wonder Girl and Static came up under the others. "And two brand new heroes Wonder Girl and Static! They've already made humongous splashes." She continued as the word 'OUTSIDERS' came up beside her in gold as pictures of the Taos, Maine, and Chicago attacks came up.
"In Taos, New Mexico, Brooklyn Maine, and Chicago Illinois." The Outsiders hashtag then came up with a purple banner under her. "The hashtag 'We Are All Outsiders' has been trending nonstop nearly 2 solid weeks in the US!" The pictures then went away as she leaned towards the camera. "It's bigger than a big League gang! The question is where will the outsiders show up next?!"
Naruto, miffed at the bigger than the League comment, turned the TV off as he left to get dressed.
Hollywood December 21, 04:31 PST.
"Recognized: Kage, 17."
Naruto walked in through the Zeta-Tunnel beside the stairs in the Outsiders HQ.
In front of him, he saw Beast Boy and Geo-Force walking to the tunnel. "Got a mission for you. Santiago De Cuba, there's a Meta-Human ring there. Meet up with Wonder Girl, Static to take Bio-Ship at Happy Harbor."
Beast Boy nodded as he saw a tired Tara, wearing a brown vest over a faded black shirt with sleeves that stopped at her elbows, black pants and grey boots rubbed her eyes.
Fred and Violet walk out of their rooms with backpacks as Helga stood out on the walkway. Terra and Fred walked down as Naruto noticed Helga stop to talk to Violet. Turning, he glanced over his shoulder for a moment before turning back as Violet turned violet.
"I studied your hair Violet to check your D.N.A. Well… There's no easy way to say this. I'm sorry Violet... You're dying."
"How can I be dying? I can heal myself." Violet said as her healing aura turned on.
"Every time you use your violet aura, it comes at the cost of your overall health," Helga said to the teen as her aura went away. "At your current rate of deterioration… You only have a few weeks left. The situation is not helpless. I've been consulting with my mentor. And I truly believe we'll have a solution soon. And it's up to you to tell the others. In a week or two, we may have better news."
"Come on Violet! You're going to be late for school!" Naruto yelled, getting Violet's attention, having her walk down. "You alright?"
"Yes, I'm fine," Violet replied, walking into the Zeta-Tunnel before Naruto glanced back at the Doctor.
The Watchtower December 21, 10:12 EST.
Kage stood with Miss Martian and Aquaman as Zatanna looked out at the Earth. "The Outsiders who aren't attending the funeral, are en-route to Cuba." Miss Martian said before Zatanna turned to them.
"Gar's Group?! Alone, seriously?"
"They can handle it." Miss Martian replied before Naruto sighed and spoke.
"And it's too public for the Team… The U.N and Cuba won't let us there-"
"Are you forgetting who they're up against? Kaldur if you can't find Fate, I have to go!"
"Zatanna! You are a Leaguer, we dare not create an international incident!" Aquaman said as Zatanna went into the tunnel.
"I'll try to stay under the radar."
"Recognized: Zatanna, 26."
Naruto looked to see Aquaman looking at him. "What? Nothing I said would've stopped her. It's the same for the house. There's like three of us against like eight!"
"There's more, you're forgetting your side harem." Miss Martian said, getting Naruto's eyebrow to twitch.
Santiago De Cuba December 21, 10:13 CST.
(A/N: The Cuba scenes are canon, feel free to skip.)
A huge red cloud is hovering over alone building out in the middle of nowhere. Inside, Klarion is laying on the hood of an abandoned car with a cat that has ginger fir and tiger stripes with a black collar.
This is Teekl, the familiar of Klarion, and his anchor in the Earthly plane.
"Stop worrying," Klarion said to the sleeping cat. "Project Cucumber's right on schedule." Teekl looked up at that.
(Meow!)
"Rutabaga?!" Klarion yelled sitting up. "Please! This is a top-secret operation for the Light. Who'd choose the name Project Rutabaga for that?"
(Meow!)
Klarion stood up at that and pointed to himself. "Well if I named it Project Rutabaga, then Project Rutabaga it is! Now, stop trying to ruin my fun, Teekl. And what's more fun than tormenting children?" He asked walking up to a teen Indian girl who's on her knees due to being tied down.
She has olive skin, black hair, and brown eyes. Her hair is slightly curly and reaches her waist. She's wearing a black sleeveless and legless wetsuit that has a blue line on the sides with a blue over the shoulder shirt that's tied around her neck.
(Meow!)
"Yes, tormenting puppies is fun, but I wouldn't say it's more fun."
(Meow!)
Klarion's face morphed slightly with red eyes before calming down. "QUIET! I know what to do!" He looked down before turning. "That's right! I use magic as catalysts to activate the Meta Gene in kidnapped teenagers." Red electricity shot out of his eyes hitting the girl in her chest having her scream.
Her eyes turned pale blue, while her hair turned white. She gained bright blue markings all over her body. She also gained visible gills and webbed hands.
She gasped as she tried to breathe, putting her hands on her neck. "Stupid Meta-Gene! This one can't even breathe out of the water! Oh well, step one completed." A branding iron with a 'K' with a dot in the middle beside it appeared in his hands and touched her forehead having her scream again as it left the K on her forehead.
"AAH!"
"Step two: put magical control on them. Let's put her with the others." He said, iron disappearing before chanting in Latin. "Oportet ministros manus lavare antequam latrinum relinquent! (Servants must wash their hands before leaving the bathroom!)"
He snapped his fingers having her disappear in red smoke before he heard screaming and groaning from the dark part of the building.
Outside, a camouflaged Bio-Ship flew to the building. "Deploy beetle mini-drone. We need to know what's going on in there." Beast Boy said before a beetle drone flew out of a hole.
Static took the feed and had them see it with the Bio-Ship before a very large mouth ate the drone. "You don't see that every day," Static said, blinking. "And we've seen some pretty weird things! Perfect time for Bart and Jaime to go AWOL."
"Dude, funeral." Beast Boy said from the pilot seat
"Oh, right... Sorry, spaced out there. Mrs. Garret was so crash too. Got another problem. Cuban military authorities incoming!"
"Klarion goes ballistic over any authority. Geo-Force, keep them at bay. Static and Wonder Girl, we're going in!" Beast boy ordered transforming into a bird. "Outsiders, away!"
"Dude, that catchphrase, needs work," Static said, bringing out his disk having it extended to stand on it.
They fell down as Static flew with lightning connecting to the ground. Wonder Girl grabs Geo-Force and flies out before she drops him off in front of the building and flies to help Beast Boy and Static. Geo-Force then creates a river of lava, cutting off the building from the Cuban police. The truck came to a halt as a man walked out wearing a colonel outfit with a mustache.
Several officers followed, one being a woman with short brown hair.
"What's going on here?" The Colonel asked in Spanish.
Inside, the Outsiders broke in and saw Klarion walking off the car he was back on. "See, Teekl, we do have more teens to play with."
(Meow!) Teekl meowed with a long meow.
"What? They're trying to steal our magical Meta's?! You, Mush Monster, get them!" Klarion ordered the containers that exploded revealing a large flesh monster with multiple eyes, a large mouth, four arms legs and the red K on its forehead.
(A/N: For a better picture look at this episode.)
Forms of teenagers trying to escape the gigantic flesh monster protrude from its skin having the Outsiders' eyes widen. "Did you see that?! Th-That thing is made up of kids!" Static yelled as the monster attacked.
"Guys, try not to hurt it-Them! I've got Klarion!" Beast Boy orders the others as he flies to the witch boy.
Beast Boy then turns into a mouse and lures Teekl away. As Teekl pounces, Beast Boy immediately turns into an elephant, knocking the cat into a nearby wall. Klarion begins to lose his connection with the mortal plane fading in and out.
"Oh nice time being knocked unconscious, now I'm-Loose-Mor-Plane!" Klarion said every other word as he faded in and out.
Outside, the Colonel sees the flesh monster and has an officer bring him a grenade launcher. Before he can fire, Geo-Force melts the gun. He fires his sidearm at him as Geo-Force brings up a rock wall to protect himself.
Inside, Wonder Girl uses her lasso to bring the flesh monster down. The creature grabs her. Suddenly, Zatanna descends from the sky.
"Yes! Zatanna's in the house!" Static yelled as he and Beast Boy came over, Beast Boy still an elephant.
"No, I'm not in the house!" Zatanna said with a hushed tone.
"Thought Leaguers weren't allowed in Cuba." Beast Boy questions as Zatanna turned to him
"That's true, that's why I cloaked myself with my glamour to any non-Outsider."
"I see you."
Klarion comes out of the shadows stating that he can see Zatanna as well.
"Distract him while I help the teens!"
Beast Boy, still an elephant, charges at Klarion. Klarion hits him with a disintegrating spell
"Beast Boy!"
Furious, Static uses his electrical powers to toss two metal barrels at Klarion. Klarion dodges them easily before blasting Static away, knocking him out.
"Foolish mortal. Klarion is chaos personified. He cannot be constipated!"
(Meow!)
"Yeah, yeah, contained. He knew I meant contained." Klarion praises his own power when he suddenly comes under attack by Beast Boy, now in the shape of a hornet.
"Ha-Ha! A green hornet!"
Wonder Girl ties the flesh monster up in her lasso as Zatanna chants a spell. "Rehtag eht citsym rewop… (Gather the mystic power...)"
Still getting stung by Beast Boy, Klarion snaps his fingers, forcing Wonder Girl to merge with the creature. The flesh monster becomes larger and more powerful.
"Wonder Girl, No!"
"Yes!"
The creature then starts going on a rampage. "Etativel! (Levitate!)" Zatanna floats and concentrates harder on her spell. "Erotser siht erutaerc ot eht strap fo sti mus! (Restore this creature to the parts of its sum!)" She returns the monster back into the meta-human victims that once formed it.
"Help us." One Cuban boy, with orange eyes and sclera, begs for help.
Zatanna kneels down next to him. "I can't get rid of your meta Gen, but I can save your souls. Eerf rieht sluos morf Noiralk! (Free their souls from Klarion!)" Casting another spell, Zatanna erases Klarion markings from each of the meta-humans' foreheads.
Klarion continues to get stung by Beast Boy. "Beat Boy, get out of the way!" Zatanna orders him to get clear as she casts another spell. "Rehtaf, ediug ym yenruoj hguorht S'etaf Yloh Hkna! Father, guide my journey through Fate's Holy Ankh!)"
A large golden Ankh formed behind her before it moved to catch her and Klarion in it. "No, that doesn't belong to you!"
The Tower Of Fate December 21, 13:23 EST.
"You've got a lot of nerve, kid. You're a stage magician, and I am a Chaos Lord. Now, what brave punishments can we devise for little Miss So-not-a-thing?" Klarion asked Zatanna who was panting on her knees with sweat on her forehead.
(Meow!)
"Look around? At what?" Klarion asked Teekl before looking to see multiple stairways around them with rooms as well. "This place looks familiar."
(Meow!)
The Tower of Fate?! No, no, no! What if Nabu comes back?! This is his place of power! No way, no way can I let him catch us here!" Klarion said before snapping his fingers.
(Snap!)
A red portal took him and Teekl away as Zatanna looked up and smirked.
In another room inside the Tower, Klarion and Teekl appeared. "Still in the tower?"
(Meow!)
"Dang it!"
(Snap!)
They then appeared in another room. "The Tower?"
(Meow!)
"Dang it!"
(Snap!)
Santiago De Cuba December 21, 10:26 CST.
The red cloud dispersed as before Geo-Force cooled the lava letting the police walk over it.
Inside, Static was talking to the boy from earlier slowly speaking what little Spanish he knows.
Beast Boy notices the girl, that Klarion last tortured, is gasping for air and has gills. "Are these gills?!"
Panicked, he turns into a gorilla and carries the girl out to the water, and tosses her in. He jumps in and turns into a dolphin to make sure that she's okay. The girl smiles as she recovers. Satisfied, Beast Boy calls on the Bio-Ship for assistance.
"Beast Boy to Bio-Ship, need your help girl!"
She arrives, opening a special compartment for Beast Boy to place the girl inside.
Hollywood December 21, 12:29 PST.
"Recognized: Forager, B33. Terra B34."
The teens walked in to see Kage in his Dark Wear without his mask and Black Bat without her cowl. "Where's Violet? You had training today." Naruto said before Terra looked at him.
"I reminded her. But when the bell rang she…" Tara trailed as she brought her hand to her chin. "What's the English…? Ah, yes! She blew us off to join her friend Harper Row."
"That doesn't sound like her." Black Bat said as Naruto looked to see Helga looking down.
Only to leave when she noticed Naruto staring at her. "At least she's making friends. And from what Donna's told me, Harper could use some more."
Santiago De Cuba December 21, 10:26 CST. (1.)
The police walked in as the Colonel took off his glasses.
"Mama!" The boy yelled to the female officer who ran to him and hugged him.
"Sargent Garcia… On your feet!" The Colonel ordered as Garcia looked to him before looking to Static and Wonder Girl.
"Gracias, (Thank You,) Thank you." She then stood and looked to the other teens who had various skin colors, one boy having scales and one girl having long fingers and sharp nails. "What about them?"
"The ones who have family here in Cuba can stay of course." Beast Boy answered as he walked in. "But many of them were trafficked here from other countries. They'll also be allowed to go home or to a Meta Youth Center in Taos New Mexico. Either way, we've got them covered." Beast Boy finished as Geo-Force walked up to them.
"Much better catchphrase."
"You Justice Leaguers should not be here!" The Colonel yelled at them.
"Hey, the League's cool, but we're Outsiders. And we're just trying to do the right thing for kids like us." Beast Boy said as the teens started chanting.
"We are all Outsiders!"
Hollywood December 21, 01:05 PST.
Black Bat and Terra circled each other on a blue mat in the new gym. Black Bat ran to Terra who leaned back, grabbed Black Bat and fell to her back kicking Black Bat off.
"Good, use your opponent's momentum against them," Bat said as she turned around after landing on her feet.
Terra attacks but Black Bat knocks her down with a sweep kick. Terra thinks back to all the times when she trained with Deathstroke. Black Bat offers her a hand, but Terra gets up on her own.
"You can't expect to know the counter to every attack."
Looking at the door, they saw Naruto walking in. "Don't focus on the eyes That won't work on an experience fight. Focus on their entire body, hips included."
"I know that!"
"That sounds so wrong coming from you." Black Bat said as Naruto opened his mouth.
"Don't be weird Steph! (Sigh.) Look, Tara, I know you have bad memories from training as I know you were given to Deathstroke after being taken with the control chip. but you had training from a grade-A douche who's trained to hit a killing blow every time and expects that from the ones he trained right off the bat. But I'm not. I won't have you push yourself too hard."
"Yes, my training was a bit rough," Terra said with a sigh as Black Bat walked up to her.
"I understand. Trust me. My dad, Cluemaster, he was just like that. But that's not my style."
Happy Harbor December 21 17:18 EST.
"Thanks for the call, Bethany." A clone of Naruto in jeans and a black shirt said to a Caucasian police woman with black hair pulled in a low ponytail in a police uniform.
They're standing on the porch of the two-storied house that's used for the police station. "We'll make sure she gets home." He finished looking at Violet who's standing with Donna and one of Talia's guards, an African-American woman with her long hair in a ponytail wearing a leather jacket and jeans with black boots.
"Thanks, Naruto said hi to Snapper for me."
"Aw, you still care."
"Yeah like you and Irene there."
"(Sigh) Of course, Snapper had to let you in on us," Naruto said as Bethany was Snapper's ex-wife. "What about Harper?"
"We called her father, after checking the drunk tank to make sure he wasn't already here."
Naruto glanced at Violet before turning to Bethany. "Any chance you can sign her to me? Say I'm an uncle?"
"Why would you do that?"
"You really want her here in jail for at least a day? I mean we'll give her a ride home. Not much I can do for her right now." Naruto and Irene walked with Bethany inside where they were taken to a cell in the back that's just diamond grated sheet metal walls and on the window with a door.
"Ride's here kid."
"Who the hell is that?"
"Violet's guardian I offered to give you a ride home while my daughter takes Violet." Naruto offered as Harper walked out of the cell.
"This doesn't mean I owe you anything!"
"Just try not to get arrested again and we'll call it even," Naruto said as they walked to the front of the building.
Taos December 21, 16:51 MST.
Kage and Aquaman stood with Ed, Bart, Jaime, and Ed's father as the Bio-Ship flew down to them. Naruto looked to see Wendy at the door of the Center looking at her phone before the Ship landed and opened her hatch letting the Outsiders drop down. The Bio-Ship turned around and opened her back to let the rescued teens minus the Cuban boy.
"Git some newbies for you." Beast Boy said to Naruto and Aquaman.
"Good work," Aquaman said as he put a hand on Beast Boy's shoulder.
"There's one more. Kind of a special case. OK Bio-Ship, show us the hold."
Bio-Ship turned the top part invisible showing the teen girl with her back to them before turning and placed her hands on the wall. "The Center isn't equipped for water breathers. Kaldur, could you talk to Orin to see if he can help her?"
"I'll let him know," Aquaman replied as Naruto walked to Bio-Ship before having a holo-screen pop up over his arm.
"Don't worry, we'll help you out," Naruto said as Hindi came up on his screen translating for him.
She nodded as she read it as she couldn't speak being in the water.
"I want in!"
Turning around, Beast Boy, Aquaman, and Naruto looked to see Ed who yelled. "In?"
"Yeah, in, to the Outsiders."
"Seriously? You were never into the whole hero thing." Static said as Ed turned to him.
"I know, but the three of us were talking after the funeral. And this is something I need to do. For the kids here."
"What part of 'We got you covered' didn't cover them?" Static asked as Ed sighed.
"You guys are great but Brion's a prince and Gar's a TV star. And you three." Ed turned to Wonder Girl, Jaime, and Bart. "Are legacies. And the kids here don't know them. Sorry, but they need to see one of their own on the Squad."
"Dude, you had me at 'I want in'." Beast Boy said before raising his hand. "All those in favor?"
The Outsiders all raised their hands in agreement before Ed saw his father walking inside looking at him. "Wait did I hear you right?" Wendy asked walking up. "You're really joining the Outsiders?"
"Looks like it," Ed said with a smile.
"That's amazing and you picked the perfect time!"
"I did?"
"Look at your phones." Wendy finished as everyone looked at their phones and brought up Courtney Whitmore is covering the Outsiders mission in Cuba.
She explained that the team is now more popular than ever. Even more than the Justice League. The group all stare at each other, flabbergasted about that last comment.
"Nope, that is bull!" Naruto yelled out. "The League has me! No way are you all more popular!"
Tower Of Fate December 21, 17:58 EST.
(Meow!)
"Dang it!"
(Snap!)
(Meow!)
"Dang it!"
(Snap!)
(Meow!)
"Dang it!"
(Snap!)
Klarion and Teekl are both still stuck in the Tower of Fate trying to get out.
To Be Continued.
A/N: Thanks for reading and let me know of any mistakes.
Beta: Jebest4781, Chaos-PSD, an Arkham Knight22.
Number 1 is a spoiler so skip if you aren't up to episode 18.
1. We decided on skipping the Violet and Harper scene at Mount Justice. Not because we're against that but due to the HUGE backlash to that scene. For those that don't know this is the spoiler. Harper and Violet drink and shoot a gun at Mount Justice Beach and Harper pulls Violet into a kiss. That got backlash due to Halo taking over Gabrielle who was a Muslim and like most religion that's a big no-no.
And the other, (And this is news to me) With at least Harper being Bi, as after the kiss Violet said she has a boyfriend, Harper smirks and replied "So do I" and pulled her into another kiss. That apparently does a stereotype of all Bi's being unfaithful to their partners.
It didn't bother me due to them drinking so you could say they were buzzed and drinking can make you do stupid stuff. And Halo doesn't consider herself Muslim due to being a computer who just gets Gabrielle's memories. Something I forgot in a previous Ep. I thought back when she said she doesn't consider herself a male or female when Brion brought up "But your name was a "MOTHER" box"
I thought she said. "There's no English word for me and Motherbox was just the closest thing." But that could have been what someone on YouTube said when they reviewed that episode as I watched reviews when each Ep came out.
Like in the prequel episode of '03 Teen Titans "Go!" When they came up to Starfire in the movie store and they said they're nice and she replied: "We Tamaranean's have no word for 'Nice'."
