Metropolis
September 30, 18:00 EDT
The group known as Intergang is at the cargo area near the bay of Metropolis. "When is Luthor getting here? I'm not waiting here forever" a frustratedBruno Mannhiem as he paces back and forth. "No need to become inpatient" Excella appears telling Bruno.
"So, who are you" the leader of Intergang asks, looking up and down at her appearance.
"Please, don't be such a filthy pig" Excella waves him off. "Who you call a filthy pig you ungrateful" Bruno asks as he about walk up to Excella when Deathstroke appears. Bruno stops when he sees the mercenary. "I like to speak with Excella alone" Deathstroke tells Bruno. Bruno doesn't say anything as he walks away.
"Remember our deal" Deathstroke tells her. "You do not need to worry, I have everything under control" Excella says.
"I hope so because if you fail us; you can forget about your position with the Light" Deathstroke tells Excella as he walk away. "Don't remind me" she says.
5 Hours earlier
"For the past six months; the young heroes have been spying on me" Lex Luthor tells Excella.
"They seem fond you Lex" said Luthor shows Excella footage of the team on lookout at a nearby building. Luthor then shows two civilians riding motorcycles following him.
"I can't have them interfering. They have become in Savage's words a nuisance to the Light. I want your six operatives to make sure they don't interfere" Luther reminds Excella.
"Do you want them killed" she asks.
"No, I just need them to be occupied" Luthor responds.
"Of course if my operatives are going to help you; they would need something to draw the team's attention" said Excella.
"I was hoping you were going to say that" Luther says. His bodyguard Mercy gives Excella a metal case. She opens it revealing a high-tech RPG.
Present
"Don't worry Lex; my operatives will take care of the young heroes" Excella says while she watches Intergang and Deathstroke by the bay area.
Black limousine travels on the intersection heading east. About three feet away from the limousine; Robin is on his motorcycle following it while the others are taking it to the air flying the Bio-Ship.
"Tell me that we're finally going to nail Luthor and expose him for the criminal he is" Superboy asks.
"We've been watching him for months. We finally got him" Aqualad responds.
"I hope so. I wonder where he's going" the speedster asks.
"He's going to the meeting at a cargo bay" Aqualad responds.
"I hope Robin is alright" Artemis shows her concern of the Boy Wonder.
"He'll be fine as long as Luthor doesn't spot him" Kid Flash tells the female archer.
Lex Luthor is sitting at the back of the limousine notices Mercy look at him through mirror. "I know Mercy. It seems the young heroes are making their move" Luthor tells Mercy. He turns on the laptop to see a mysterious figure on screen.
"They're heading to your direction. You know what to do" Luthor tells the figure.
A shadow figure is on the roof watching the limousine take a turn to exit the highway. Picking up the RPG; the figure targets the motorcycle Robin is riding on. The target is locked on as the figure shoots at the highway.
Bio-Ship follows the limousine but the team sees the explosion coming from the highway. "Robin" they all said at once. They see the explosion realizing that Robin was still on the highway.
"We got to go see if Robin's okay" Artemis tells the team.
"What about Luthor" Superboy asks.
"Dude, Robin might be hurt" Kid Flash responds.
"M'gann; set her down. We're stopping our pursuit" Aqualad tells Miss Martian as she lands the Bio-Ship near the highway.
The team exits the Bio-Ship to see the destroyed motorcycle but sign of Robin. "I can't believe this" as Kid Flash starts to get teary-eyed.
"Whoever did this is going to pay" Superboy clenches his fist in anger.
"Um guys" was Robin who said that.
"Robin; where are you" Kid Flash asks as he starts to rub his eye.
"Over here" Robin is hanging by the metal railing.
"Help me up." Superboy helps Robin up while the other young heroes checks out the wreckage.
"Anyone else gets the feeling Luthor knew we were following him" Superboy asks.
"Why am I not surprised" Robin responds. The same shadow figure that targeted Robin, now targets the team.
The team sees the incoming missile heading towards them. Miss Martian uses telekinesis to destroy the missile before it could hit them. "Where did it come from" Aqualad asks. Robin takes out his binoculars to see to find the target. He looks at the roof to see someone holding a large weapon. "There he is on the roof" Robin tells the team. They begin their pursuit as the figure drops the RPG and leaves heading down the fire escape. Now on the streets; the team tries to look for their assailant. The figure that tried to kill Robin is leaning against the wall. The team see the figure just standing there as it taunts them. It runs through which the team continues with their pursuit. The figure heads inside a warehouse as Kid Flash sped inside.
"Alright, where are you" Kid Flash shouts as the rest of the team enters. The metal door automatically closes behind the team.
"Anyone else gets the feeling that this was a setup" Superboy asks the team. Suddenly the shadow figure starts to laugh. "Dude; what so funny" he looks at the Boy Wonder.
"That wasn't me" Robin responds. The figure starts to laugh again. "Step into the light now" Artemis shouts drawing her bow and arrow at the shadow figure that is standing there.
The figure steps forward revealing to be Artemis. She wears the same costume as her but in opposite colors. "What the hell is this" the female archer becomes frightened when she sees her counterpart. "What's the matter? You guys looks you seen a ghost" another figure steps forward revealing to be Superboy. He has the same shirt as him but in opposite colors. "Tell me this is a bad dream" the speedster asks.
"Sorry, banana but this isn't a dream" as another figure step forward revealing to be Kid Flash. He wears his costume but in opposite colors as well. The team becomes spook of seeing clones of themselves. Another figure in the shadows starts to laugh again only this time; steps forward revealing to be Robin. His costume is the same as Robin but in opposite colors. "Man you should see the look on your faces. It's priceless" said the clone Boy Wonder.
Another figure slowly descends into the light revealing to be Miss Martian. "Whoa, whoa, they clone Miss Martian. This can't get any worse" Kid Flash says. "I'm afraid it just did" said the last figure steps forward revealing a clone version of Aqualad.
"You had to open your mouth" Artemis tells the speedster. The team is now face to face with their counterparts. "Okay, who are you guys" Robin asks.
"Let's just say we're related" Kid Flash's counterpart responds.
"But more precisely; we are your betters" Artemis' counterpart adds.
"Betters, betters, you guys are nothing more than bunch of cheap knockoffs" Kid Flash shouts at the clones.
"You're the knockoffs. You're just mad because we're better looking" his counterpart shouts.
"We're exactly the same" Robin tells the team of clones.
"That's your opinion, however there is only one difference between us" said the Aqualad clone.
"And what's that" Superboy asks. The Artemis clone draws her bow shooting an arrow to the floor where the team is standing, exploding on sight. The team manages to find cover before taking any damage. Kid Flash takes a peek to see no one is there, but he gets attack from the Kid Flash clone.
Robin sees Kid Flash attacking his clone. "Miss M; are we linked"Robin asks telepathically."Yes" she responds. The other members of the team come out of hiding to fight their doppelgangers.
"They maybe our clones, too bad for them they can't think like us" said Miss Martian.
"That's what you think bitch" said Miss Martian's doppelganger.
"Who said that" Miss Martian asks.
"I did" said the Miss Martian clone as she uses telekinesis to throw a desk at Miss Martian, but she manages to stop it with telekinesis of her own. "Wait how did she-hello Megan, she's my clone" said Miss Martian.
"Hello Megan, that show is stupid." " the Martian clone tells Miss Martian. "I know you did not just say "Hello Megan" is stupid" an angry Miss Martian says to her counterpart.
"Not as stupid as you colliding with Superboy" her counterpart tells her. Miss Martian looks only to have Superboy to get thrown to her, causing them both to hit the floor.
"Man I love playing dodge ball" said the Superboy clone who wipes his hand together. The original Superboy tries to recover but is met by a metal trash can to the head. "Ouch, that's got to hurt" said the Miss Martian clone.
Artemis shoots a trick arrow at her clone but she quickly avoids it to shoot an arrow of her own. The arrow explodes causing the original Artemis to lose her bow. "If you're really my clone, drop your bow" Artemis gets into a fighting stance. "You ask for it" said the Artemis clone as she drops her bow. Artemis starts fighting her clone. She delivers punch for punch, but her clone blocks each one. She then tries to leg sweep her but again the clone counters.
"You know if spent more time being trained by your father; maybe you might put up a fight" said the Artemis clone. Artemis becomes spook on what her clone said catching her off guard as her doppelganger delivers a roundhouse kick knocking out Artemis.
Aqualad is now face to face with his clone. "You maybe my clone, but there is one thing you can't do" as he creates two water-based swords.
"You think so" said the Aqualad clone that does the same thing.
"How, how's that possible" he asks. "You should know by now" said the Aqualad clone as he charges after the original. The two Aqualads get into a sword fight with the clone getting the best of the original.
"You shouldn't be fighting against us. If you are cloned, then you and your team can choose your own path. Make your own decisions" Aqualad tells his clone. The clone stops his attack, lowering his swords "you're right I should choose my path" the Aqualad clone says. The original Aqualad approaches to his doppelganger when the clone gives him a sinister smile placing his hand on Aqualad's chest giving him lethal electric shock.
"I've made my decision, and I chose to hurt you" The Aqualad clone tells him.
Kid Flash and his clone are having a race around the warehouse. As they both are using super speed; the two speedsters are punching each other as well. "I believe we are equally matched" Kid Flash tells his clone. "Except you're the one whose about to get hit by a closed fist" the clone Kid Flash tells the original. "What are you talking-" Kid Flash asks as he looks only to get hit by a powerful punch from the cloned Superboy. The punch sends the speedster flying to several boxes.
Both Robin have their Eskrima sticks in hand as both are about to fight. The clone Robin smiles as his press a button on his Eskrima sticks which unleash blade turning it into a pair of Scythes. "Oh you got to be" Robin did get to finish as his clone tries to slice him. Robin tries to avoid the doppelganger's attack as he throws his bird-a-rang at him. The clone Robin back flips and throws round discs at him. Robin avoids them as well but the last one hit him on the face, giving him a small cut. Robin tries to regroup but notices he is the only one left. "It looks like you're the only one left. The only option you have left is surrender" said the clone Robin as he approaches to the original.
With nothing to do; Robin puts his hand up of a sign of surrender. His clone starts to laugh at him. "Wise choice" said the Robin clone as he then punches him, knocking Robin out.
At the cargo bay; the black limousine arrives. Mercy and Lex Luthor comes out of it, heads Excella and Deathstroke. "Luthor; I just received a call from my operative. They defeated the young heroes" Excella tells him.
"Good, make sure they keep them there until we are finished" said Lex Luthor. Excella walks away as she calls back her operative. "Keep the young heroes busy" Excella says.
"Do you want us to kill them" the Robin clone asks over the phone.
"Not yet" She tells the Robin clone.
