DISC ION.
We spent a month and a half training with me as the leader, we debriefed this mission in august 3rd, it was nearing that time again. Kid Flash was winning against Aqualad playing holographic air hockey while he was eating a banana. "Recognized Superboy B-0-4." The computer said as Superboy walked in.
"Hey Superboy how was metropolis?" He just walked past us.
"Ready for training anyone.
"Black Canary, Uncle J'onn!" Miss Martian said. She ran up to him to hug him.
"M'gann, I was in the neighborhood. So I thought I would see how you were adjusting." He asked her, I felt a pang of jealousy. 'I see Hal everyday but I don't see him as a parent to me, not yet, more like a brother becoming a father.'
"A few bumps but I'm learning" She said Superboy was walking away. I felt really uncomfortable in this scenario so I was about to head to the gym to fight against constructs.
"That's all I could ask." Said Martian Manhunter my chest felt really restrained.
"Stick around both of you. Class is in session." Black Canary spoke to us.
"I consider this an honor to be your teacher I'll throw a lot at you, everything I've learned from my own mentors' agh and my own bruises." She said as she took off her jean jacket she winced as she took out her left arm since her left bicep was bandaged.
"What happened?" Asked Miss Martian.
"The job, now combat is about controlling conflict putting the battle on your own terms only acting never reacting. I'll need a sparring partner." She announced.
"Right here." Kid Flash said and walked forward to the center of the arena, finishing his banana and throwing it to the trash can.
"After this I'll show you my moves." Kid Flash said, Black Canary just smirked, she threw a punch at his face, he blocked with his right arm but left his feet wide open, Black Canary crouched and swiped at his feet, taking him down.
"Ouch hurts so good." Kid flash said.
"Good block but did anyone saw what he did wrong?" She asked as she helped Kid Flash stand up.
"OH oh, he hit on teacher and got served." Robin said
"DUDE." Kid flash groaned.
"He allowed me to dictate the fight." She said.
"He left his stance open, he was slow and didn't consider attacks from the sides, or in his case from below." I said
"This is a waste of time I don't need training. With my powers the battle is always on my terms." Superboy complained.
"I'm a living weapon, and this is a waste of my time." He said
"Smaller people will take you down, if you learned you're not unbeatable, not if, but when." Black Canary told him.
"Prove you don't need training, you'll go after him." She said to me.
Superboy walked to her and took a stance, he threw a punch at her, she dodged left and took his hand and threw him a few feet. Superboy landed on his back and he grunted. Robin laughed only for Aqualad to hit him in the ribs to stop him from laughing. Superboy got up and growled at her.
"You're angry, good. But don't react, channel that anger into..." Superboy screamed and charged. 'Retard, he will get thrown on the ground just as fast.'
Canary vaulted over him, throwing him off balance she crouched low and swipe kicked him making Superboy fall on the ground. He got up.
"My turn." I said powering my ring to make my outline highlight me.
"I've never seen her fight one on one." Robin said. I took the boxer stance I always used when fighting in the rings for my opponents to underestimate me. She knew I wouldn't charge and she wanted to make a point. She charged and I switched stance to the fighting style I learned in the underground of Oa, taking a low stance and extending both hands opened bot palms each finger separated. She closed in on me I punched extending my hand to her to fake out she dodged and into my trap. I kicked her she didn't expect it, she got swiped kicked by me. But she didn't fall to the floor, she placed a hand on the floor and stood in a handstand.
"You're good, nice fake out." She said, as she ran at me I switched stances to what I learned from the cute squirrel Ch'p. She vaulted trying to drop kick me, I dodged to the side. She jumped back turning to throw a punch with her right hand I blocked moving her arm to give me the opening I need. "You're done." I said as I punched her using my ring to make 7 small fists to punch where she couldn't guard. Canary faltered as she dodged, I elbowed her in the stomach making her bend by the punch knocking the air out of her. I grabbed her arm and judo flipped her over me. "ough." She groaned. As she flipped over she landed with both feet on the ground and turned to me.
"That was amazing, I've never seen that fighting style." Robins voice sounded around me.
"She does have talent." Black Canary said.
I extended a hand to Black Canary.
"She is a good fighter, she could've won without her ring. But you fight good as if you have years of experience." She said.
"Since when do you fight kid?" She asked me.
"None of your business." I said glaring at her.
"Batman to the cave." The face of batman appeared in a hologram in front of us.
"Five hours ago a new menace attacked green arrow and black canary, the attacker was capable of studying then duplicating the powers and abilities of its opponents. Arrow called reinforcements which proved disastrous as our foe gained more and more power with each new combatant." Batman said.
"Whoa one guy with the powers of the entire league." Kid Flash said.
"In the end it took eight leaguers and four hours to defeat and dismantle the android." "Who made it, T O Morrow?" Robin asked.
"Good guess Robin. But Red Tornado doesn't think so." Batman responded
"The technology bears the signature of Professor Ivo." Martian Manhunter told us.
"Ivo? But Ivo's dead" Aqualad added
"So we all thought... or hoped." Canary responded.
"To make certain this threat is permanently neutralized. We're sending two trucks to two separate star labs facilities, in Boston and New York, for immediate evaluation. Every
precaution is being taken; we'll have four additional trucks to create confusion in case Ivo or anyone tries to recover the remains. You will split in two undercover teams to safeguard the two real trucks." Batman said displaying the trucks in the screen.
"Yes, road trip." Kid flash celebrated.
"So now we take out your trash?" Superboy said angry.
"You have something better to do?" Batman responded, while Superboy looked away, my transmitter that was given to me as a team leader started to beep I checked it and saw
the coordinates for us to move out from.
"Coordinates received, on our way." I said as I flew towards the zeta tube. Superboy was the last to arrive with us.
We arrived to see 5 bikes and a scooter and everyone changed to civil attire, to blend in.
"Hell no, I don't know how to drive these things." I said, as I looked at the one that had my colors.
"You mean you can defeat Black Canary in hand to hand combat and don't know how to drive?" Kid Flash said.
"Well I have a ring that can make me fly." I said as I picked up the green and black helmet. The last part of the android was being loaded.
"Everyone get in position for us to move out." I said as I got on my bike, it felt like a bicycle only to be reminded I didn't know how to ride a bicycle
"Relax these things drive themselves." Robin said.
"Yeah it's like riding a bicycle." Kid flash told me I looked unsure.
"You don't know how to drive a bicycle?" He asked.
"What did you do when you were growing up?" He asked indignantly, that struck a nerve.
"None of your business." I replied angrily, I placed my helmet on and looked straight ahead. 'That was rude, but he would never understand what I went though.'
"We split up in two teams, Kid Flash Aqualad and Miss Martian you follow truck to Boston, Robin, Superboy, and me will go after the one in New York" I said sounded upset, Kid Flash and Robin shared a look, Kid flash looked worried. Everyone got ready and took places, Batman gave the signal to move out, and we waited for the trucks to move so we could guard each one.
"Stay on comms, if anything happens alert the others, remember it's an open channel we all hear what you speak." I said warning them.
We moved through the highway following the trucks until each truck took a different route, we stood close to the one that had the parts of the robot I knew it will get stolen, but I'm too preoccupied with having my bike to stay stable during turns. Robin was completely calm along with Superboy. 'How are they so calm in this deathtrap?' Robin's bike moved beside Superboy's as we passed beside a cornfield.
"If dislike is the opposite of like is disaster the opposite of aster? See instead of things going wrong they go right." Robin asked bringing me out of my thoughts.
"Aster is flower that is usually pink or purple or it's a star shaped piece that is formed during the division of animal cells." I said remembering the meaning of aster.
"How do you know this?" Robin asked.
"Eidetic memory, everything I see I remember it.
"Superboy you looked out of it what's wrong, please don't save it I'm currently trying not to fall out of this thing." I said we waited for a moment only for Superboy to answer.
"Canary I mean what business does she have teaching combat skills to a guy with superstrenght? Clearly she couldn't Beat Lantern." He said angry.
"Taking down stronger guys is part of the gig, Canary learned that the hard way, same with Batman, and well… me." Robin said.
"And me, I fought men three times my size since I was 7 years old." I said he only accelerated ahead.
"Do you think Superboy is okay? I mean I wasn't reading his mind or anything, but anger flowed off him in waves." Miss Martian's voice came through radio. 'I told them that radio channel.' I couldn't look away from the road, too focused on the bike.
"Ha surfed that way, just give him space. Me stick as close as you like." Kid Flash voice sounded in the radio, my face had a deadpan look.
"Superboy just needs time to cool off a quiet mission will give him time to cool his head." Aqualad said.
"Contact our truck is under attack." I said as green small metallic monkeys sticked to our truck.
"Same here." Aqualad said.
"I hate monkeys." Superboy said.
"Engage don't let the monkeys take the cargo." I ordered.
"Copy that." Aqualad responded.
"Finally I'm out of this metal contraption of death." I said aloud as I powered my ring making my suit form around me.
"Robot monkeys totally Ivo's twic style." Robins bike transformed in two and only getting a one wheeled bike.
"Hey switch your bike to battle mode." He said, I pressed the middle screen of the bike where the speedometer was. I felt a shift in the bike and the backside of my bike turned into a drone that was flying above me and the bike had only one wheel.
"Oh god my metal contraption of made had a baby." I said as I saw the drone start to shoot at the monkeys.
"No point." Superboy said jumping out his bike, the bike came at me and Robin.
"Oh fuck." I sad as I jumped off and flew below the drone, Robin did the same to avoid getting hit. Superboy was fighting the monkeys that came in swarms onto the truck. He punched angrily spending too much time in a single one. I landed on the truck and went to the monkeys that were crashing against the drivers windows. I made boots with spikes to be able to walk on top of the truck both drones got destroyed by monkeys landing above them and breaking them and making them crash against the ground.
"Oh thank god the baby of death died." I said taking my helmet off and using it as a projectile towards a monkey that was flying at me.
I cleared monkey after monkey that were trying to get to the driver, kicking punching and smashing left and right. But they didn't stop, Superboy got overwhelmed I saw the monkeys flying away with him, his eyes had smoke. Then he got dropped into the highway."Superboy's down, and I'm getting overwhelmed by monkeys, and no Robin we still need water for the whelmed thing." I said as I saw the monkeys use lasers to break the top off the truck and got into it to retrieve the android part.
"Breach we got a breach. Monkeys are on the inside with the cargo." I said as I smashed a monkey with a hammer construct, Robin started using his batons to destroy monkeys, Superboy landed on the truck again and he got swarmed instantly by monkeys.
Two monkeys made their way to the tires and shot them I couldn't do anything to stop them from shooting them, the truck started to steer and lose control. I made two hand constructs one grabbed Robin the other one destroyed the door of the driver and took him out, I flew away from the truck I felt my feet lose ground as I dissolved the spike shoe constructs and flew as fast as I could to the side of the road, I landed where Robin and the driver were, the truck flipped along with Superboy, until it came to a stop the back part blew up and the monkeys flew out of the truck with the android parts, the guards limped out one supported on the other.
Superboy got out of the truck he got up rubbed his eyes and jumped after the monkeys. "Aqualad to GL, we lost our cargo." Aqualad said.
"Same here and we lost Superboy." I answered.
"GL to Superboy radio your position, we'll go after him." I said with a hand to my ear.
"I don't need help, don't want any." Superboy answered.
"Superboy? Superboy answers." I said in the comms. "Well F you too." I added.
"He is out of my telepathic range. This professor Ivo if he is alive seems to be two steps ahead of us." Miss Martian's voice came in the radio.
"Maybe we should contact Red Tornado." She said.
"Tornado always tells us to fight out fights and this is one of our fights. The mission can still be accomplish if we make sure the robot is dismantled." I said as I looked at a monkey remains.
"Well it's great this is our fight except for the part of us not knowing where to LOOK!" Kid flash complained.
"Robin the monkeys could track the android meaning they can trace the signal the robot emits, hack a monkey remains so we can see where the robot parts are." I said. "On it, it seems both parts are gonna reunite in... Gotham city." Robin said.
"That far south? M'gann and I won't make it anytime soon, I'm sending Kid on ahead to meet you. Aqualad out." Aqualads voice was cut off.
"Hop on, aster guy." I said making a construct of a jet.
"You know, for calling a bike a metal contraption of death, a plane is way more dangerous." He said smiling as he climbed the stairs I made.
"Yeah right, those bikes are made for you to die in one of them." I said as we took off; it took us half an hour to reach the south of Gotham, Robin got out of his civilian outfit and into his regular one.
"Hey I see you changed too." Robin said looking at Kid Flash who was beside us.
"You kidding I feel naked in civies." Kid Flash answered shuddering.
"Robin directions?" I asked to see where the parts are headed.
"They were heading through Gotham but they veered. Wait they're at my school." Robin said.
"Directions wait, veered?" I asked.
"Yeah." Robin responded
"Ah crapbaskets." I said
"What do you mean?" Kid flash asked.
"It means it reassembled." Robin said.
"I stand corrected crapbaskets." I said following where Robin was pointing.
The school was shaking I could see debrief passing through the school the movements to fast.
"Kid Flash move in and get that idiot out of danger." I ordered referring to Superboy who I knew was fighting the android.
"Got it boss man or boss woman." He said as he ran ahead, his voice sounded in the comms.
"Head to the basketball Gym." He announced.
"Robin directions?" I said as Robin guided me to the gym. We reached the Gym to see the android punching Superboy and throwing him against a wall.
"Hey ugly." I said shooting a beam near the android.
"Accessing Martian Manhunter." The robot said making himself intangible
'Wait he would've used a construct, no Green Lantern was in the attack against the android.'
"Don't let him near me he doesn't have my powers." I said. "Robin threw birdarangs at him.
"Accessing Martian Manhunter." The android said as he became intangible again. "Accessing Red Tornado." His legs became a tornado as he neared us we all scattered away from him by the wind, crashing against walls and benches.
"Access captain atom" The android began to shoot at Kid Flash his hands dispelling energy, Kid Flash was running around the Gym.
"Access Black Canary." The androids mouth opened and made a sonic wave knocking away Kid Flash.
"Superboy wait!" But it was too late.
"Superman." The android grabbed the punch and knocked him aside.
"Plan?" Robin asked, I motioned to Ivo who was just sitting there watching. "I get you." He said throwing birdarangs "Martian Manhunter." The android destroyed Robins projectiles by using his elongated arms, knocking Robin aside and Superboy into me. "Ah my ribs." I complained.
"Superman." The android said. "AAhh" Kid Flash screams filled the Gym. "Martian Manhunter." 'Oh right, divine intervention.' I thought moving Superboy off me as I saw Robin standing there in the ground an arrow imbedded in the floor.
"Robin NOW." I said as Superboy charged at the android. "Black Canary." The android said flipping him through the Gym. "Superman." The android charged his eyes and looked at us I made a wall construct to cover us. "Can't get a clean shot." Robin said, my construct was constantly taking the damage cracking slowly.
"Aww Yawn, Amaso was made to mimic your abilities during battle. Then what's the point? You're all such poor copies of the originals, except that green lantern. Which is smart enough as to not touch Amazo, so he doesn't assimilates her powers." Ivo said. "So everyone keeps saying." Superboy said.
"It makes me angry!." Superboy yelled as he jumped at Ivo, the beam subsided.
"Great he's gone ballistic again." Kid Flash said scared.
"Not really, look at his actions he's directing that anger." I said as Superboy rushed at Ivo who was running like a weasel.
"Amazo protect your master priority alpha." Ivo said scared, as he ran away,
"Captain atom." Amazo said shooting a beam at superboy. Two monkeys grabbed Ivo and were about to fly away, Robin rushed at Ivo dropkicking him in the back Superboy looked at me.
"Get him to phase and make sure as he reassembles his molecules place your hand in his head." I said, at Superboy.
"What about you?" He asked.
"I can't touch him, if you want to add my power to his collection." I said "Ill cover what he shoots us." I said He jumped at him.
"Superman." Amazo said stomping the ground throwing kid flash to a wall he was gonna crash headfirst into it.
"Robin, Phase him." I ordered. Superboy began to run at him.
"Martian Manhunter." Amazo phased I saw Ivo getting away, but I could catch Kid Flash. From crashing headfirst into a wall, I constructed a baseball glove and caught Kid Flash. "Superman." Amazo said as Superboy landed in from of him, his body reformed and Superboys' fist was through where his head was.
Amazos' head exploded and Amazo halted and crashed to the floor, completely still. "DISASEMBLE HIM NOW!" I yelled at them.
"Boss woman, he has no head." Kid Flash said.
"Don't take any chances." Aqualad said, as he and Miss Martian flew into the gym Miss Martian making a bee line towards Superboy.
"Superboy are you alright?" She asked him gripping his arm to help him get up.
"I'm fine, feeling the aster." Superboy said smiling looking at us.
"I told you it's a flower, or a part made during cell division in animals... but you did great Superboy." I said looking at him.
"Hey where's Ivo?" Kid flash said.
"Sorry it was saving you from colliding headfirst to a wall or stopping him, Ivo getting away is on me. Sorry." I said.
Everyone looked at me as I was looking at my feet, feeling like I screwed up. Superboy placed a hand on my shoulder, Kid Flash ran up beside me in a one armed hug.
"I knew you liked me Sam." He said I smiled, looking up. I was hoping they get angry but it seems I did the right decision.
"I like you when you're not nosy." I told him.
We were standing in a straight line, Batman scolding us about how our last two missions went. "A simple recon mission observe and report. You'll each receive a written evaluation detailing your mistakes. Until then good job, No battle plan survives first contact with the enemy but you were able to keep you partners in line, trusting them, and using their abilities. How you adjust to the unforeseen is what determines success, and how you choose who leads determines character." Batman said as everyone turned their heads to me, I kept a straight face. "Great job." He said turning to me.
Now debrief on the latest mission." Batman said we all made a group with me standing at the center, Robin and kid flash to my left and Aqualad, Miss Martian and Superboy to my right.
"We arrived at the mountain after delivering the parts to its destinations; it was 1:05 in the morning. "The Amazo robot is in pieces again, safely being analyzed at the two separate star labs, but Ivo escaped. He originated the tech and he is more dangerous than the android." I said looking at the screens.
"Capturing the professor will be a league priority." Canary said to us.
"But your latest mission we understand you encountered... other complications." Martian Manhunter said crossing his arms in his chest looking at Superboy. "I kept looking straight ahead while I knew everyone looked at Superboy. Batman walked to us, I kept looking him in the eyes, or what I assumed were his eyes.
"Complications come with the job; your ability to handle them has impressed the League." Batman said.
"The whole. League?" Superboy sounded surprised.
"Given time yes. Kryptonians as you know have very hard heads, but sometimes green is needed." Batman said, Superboy smiled at me.
"Of course there's no shame in asking for help. That's why the league exists, because there's some problems even we can't handle individually."
"Please if we needed help we would never get the chance to ask." Robin said taking out an arrow a green arrow with a metal tip that looked feminine it had curved tips not serrated ones. He handed it to batman who handed it to Green Arrow don't ask me how I know it but it looks feminine.
"You were following us. Babysitting you still don't trust us." Robin argued.
"We didn't follow you." Batman said as Green Arrow took an arrow which was double headed, made to pierce flesh.
"That's… not your arrow." Robin realized "But that means."
"Speedy!" Kid Flash said.
"He has our backs." Aqualad added.
"Not so fast boys." I interrupted. "Speedy uses simple spear head arrows having the bottom completely straight; he doesn't use curved ones at the bottom of the head." I said remembering the shape of his arrows.
"Sweet souvenir." Kid Flash said, taking the arrow from green arrows hand.
"But wait, if it's not speedy's and not green arrows. Then who?" Robin said his fingers in his chin, Batman and Green Arrow look at me.
"What? I've said it before. Eidetic memory I remember everything I see or read." I said. Superboy cleared his throat as he made his way to Black Canary.
"I'm ready." He said. "Good cause I'm here." Canary said.
"See you tomorrow guys I need to go do... things." I said.
"Wait I still want to fight you hand on hand." Canary said to me I smiled.
"Sorry but I can't maybe next time." I said turning towards the zeta tubes. 'Well time to remember pain.' I thought as I was going in the search of the ring. "Recognized B 0 2." The computer said. "See ya tomorrow guys." I said as I appeared in the abandoned alleyway and went to the fighting ring that today I was set to fight.
