Blackbird/Young Justice:
The Crow Saga
Prologue: The New Young Justice
Superboy. Kon-El. The Metropolis Kid, the Boy of Steel... heir to the throne of Superman. He ran his fingers across the conference table at Happy Harbor. This was Young Justice's HQ. Just like when the JLA was here, Kon was sitting in a chair which bore his symbol on the back. A big red and yellow 'S' indicated that he was the head honcho. And since Alvin Draper/Robin left, he had been acting like it, but with a little less success, often relying on Wondergirl to back him up and point him in the right direction.
"Okay..." Superboy looked around the table. "Lets be real serious for a minute... put everything out in the open..." He looked to his side, past the chair with Robin's 'R' symbol.
Impulse. Bart Allen. What a kid. He was a speedster by birth, accessing the speed force with a talent and power unlike any his age had ever hoped to understand. Even with his impulsive tendencies he was a vital asset to the team, as comic relief if not a scout and lifesaver. He playing rubix cube with his tongue sticking out of his mouth. He was working at a blurry speed and stopped suddenly to look up at Superboy. "Huh?"
Cassie cut in. Cassandra Sandsmark was Wondergirl, a fast strong young female with a growing confidence and great down-to-earth mind. She had a tendency to overlap Kon-El's attempts at leadership, out of admiration as often as necessity. "She's cool..." Cassie refered to their prospective teammate... "But she's taking someone's place, and that's not easy."
"She has to be straightforward..." Cissie spoke up. Arrowette, Cissie King-Jones, had quit Young Justice for sometime, but recent and somewhat unknown developments had allowed her to work with them during the summers. "And she has to be GOOD, not just a name filler."
Everyone agreed with her on that one.
Empress, Anita Maad piped up, a little reluctant being a more recent member, having gone on only one mission with the MIA member. "Big shoes to fill... but we all have to give her a chance... ALL of us..." She puposefully and deliberately looked at Secret.
Secret, known only as Suzie, little sister of Harm, was a gaseous female, able to turn into anything except solid for more than a few seconds. "What are you looking at me for?" She became defensive quickly.
"I'm sure she didn't mean anything bad by it, Secret," Wondergirl covered, "she just wanted to remind you about..."
Cassie trailed off but Secret didn't quite catch on... or didn't let on she had caught on...
Lobo stood in the corner... he had something against tables... or maybe he just didn't like the fact that he hadn't gotten a seat next to Anita. He folded his arms and in his tough scratch voice blurted her business out in the street like he was blowing his nose. "Heh. We all thought you were soft for the frail lil guy, so some chick... and this chick in pertic'lar, well... we figgered..."
"You figured what, Lobo?" She raised her voice as she gusted over to him, floating in his face. "That I would be all jealous cuz some amateur is going to take... his place!? That I'd be judgemental all because of something that DIDN'T happen months ago? Get real, muscle head."
"Suzie..." Superboy's voice sounded very authoritative.
Everyone looked towards him. He liked that.
"It's time..." He stood up and looked towards the doorway as it opened. Two big metal doors slid sidewards out of the way... in the doorway stood...
Lagoonboy!
Impulse gave a weird look towards the door. "Goony? What are you doing here?"
Lagoonboy looked around. "Oops." He slid out of the way, scampering in to the conference table, finding Aquaman's old seat bearing Lobo's scowling visage. He frowned.
Where he was standing walked in a smooth and trim feminine figure. She was young by height and mannerisms, but she was a fighter. You could see it in her eyes, even if they were the only thing showing in her dark cowl. She was wearing pink. Impulse laughed, but Wondergirl shut him up.
She walked in smoothly and walked to the conference table. She stood by Robin's old seat but wasn't bold enough to actually sit down in it. She looked over the table.
"I'm Spoiler."
Superboy gave a calming smile. "St...er... Spoiler..." He looked at her to see if she had caught his stutter, but it was impossible to tell. "We all know each other. We hang out at Wondergirl's house. We know each other's parents. Come clean...."
Spoiler looked around the room. She reached up to her pink hood and pulled it back. She yanked off her black hood and with a spin removed her pink garments. She stood there in a revamped Robin costume. Full red chest with daisy duke style black at the bottom and big ol black boots, black gloves and a full black cape with a black and red mask.
"She fills out the costume better than Alvin, I'll tell ya..." Lagoonboy chuckled. Impulse looked down at him with a strange look, but the little amphibian acted as if he had said nothing.
Robin, the fourth one yet, sat down in the proper seat and looked around the table.
Everyone just looked at her stunned for a minute until she spoke up.
"This is Robin on estrogen... any questions..."
No one could help but smile just a bit at that one. The girls kinda giggled, except Secret.
Wondergirl stood up. "I think I speak for just about everyone when I say 'Welcome, Robin'
"Call me Steph..."
And there wasn't a straight face in the room. This just might work out in the long run.
