Chapter XV: A League Of Their Own.
Last Time.
J'onn helped them up as Batman banged on the computer freeing Superman. He groaned before standing up. "Where's Darkseid?" Kurama jumped down after destroying another Brainiac. "Don't know, don't care.. We need to get out of here, now." Everyone left, and later came up to the Javelin. Naruto puts Hawkgirl down before looking around. "Where's Superman?" Everyone looked around before Batman cursed. "Go on we'll catch up!"
Kurama followed after him. "I'll make sure they'll be alright." They ran, and found Superman walking to a downed Darkseid under rubble. "Superman!" Batman yelled as Superman looked back. ""Go.. I'm finishing this." Batman ran over, and grabbed his shoulder, but was hit to the wall. "Go now." He tried to walk back, but chakra hands stopped him as another picked up an unconscious Orion. "Now Bats!" Batman hits the remote to a boom-tube puling them in right before the base exploded.
Later on the surface of New Genesis.
Kurama punched Superman having him spit blood. "You idiot.. You almost killed Orion because you were too blinded by hate." Superman stared at him before Kurama continued. "Could you live with that? His blood on your hands? Or what if people from New Genesis wanted to attack you on Earth in retaliation? Revenge? How would you deal with them attacking billions of people because you let one of their own die on your watch?"
Superman said nothing before looking to see Naruto take off his right glove revealing a white circle on his palm. Naruto puts his hand on Orion for a moment before turning to Highfather. "He'll be fine now." Walking over to the now awake Hawkgirl, he put his hand on her before groaning, as Kurama dispelled. Hawkgirl looked amazed as her ribs stopped hurting. "They're good as new.. I could still kiss them to make them better if you want."
Hawkgirl flicked him in the forehead before standing up. "Easy lover boy.. Diana probably won't like that." Naruto chuckled putting the glove on before feeling a hand on his shoulder. Turning around, he saw Diana looking at him. "Why didn't you use that ability when Aresia attacked the men?" Naruto chuckled while rubbing the back of his head. "I forgot about it.. I don't use this power much as not to rely on it."
She smiled at him before giving him a kiss. "That's understandable.. You don't want a crutch." He smiled before hearing kids laugh, and saw the kids from earlier, along with Forager. He wrapped his arm around her, and walked over to the group. He stepped on something, looked down, and saw a piece of Brainiac forehead. "Well crap."
He took out a scroll, and carefully puts the piece in it. "We'll need to dispose of this properly." Diana nodded before walking to the group. Naruto stared at the scroll for a moment before pocketing it, and following after Diana.
Now.
Watchtower Lab.
Batman who was tying on a computer, and Hawkgirl who was watching him turned to the Brainiac piece that's in a tube as the computer beeped. "Starting security check." Batman said before red-warning signs came up. "All six levels are intact." Hawkgirl looked to the piece before speaking up. "It's hard to believe that's what's left of Brainiac." Batman stood up before turning to her.
"The last that we know of." Hawkgirl turned back to him. "How much of him is in there?" Batman turned to her, and replied. "Too much.. Brainiac's a virus that won't die.. There's a saying about keeping your enemy's close." Batman walked up to the tube, and continued. "But there are times when I want to throw Brainiac down the nearest black hole."
Suddenly, an alarm went off, and Flash sped in. "You need to come in to the control room." They ran in to the room where Naruto and J'onn were working on the computers. Naruto looked over his shoulder at them. "The computer's picking up something big." He said before they saw a purple stream coming to them. "There! It's a cosmic super strength.. It packs more power than a solar flare." Hawkgirl said before turning to J'onn.
"Get the shields up!" Pressing a button Naruto saw a red glow over the windows as they were hit, shaking the tower. As it passed, everyone stood up. Naruto shook his head. "Everyone alright?" Everyone nodded before J'onn spoke up. "Our cores energy's drained." Batman looked over to him. "What about back-up?" Hawkgirl flew up to another computer as Flash dashed away.
"A little... But not enough to keep us running." Flash came back to them, and shrugged. "Checked all the rooms.. Nothing's damaged." Naruto sighed before pointing out the window. "Well... We are flying towards Earth." Looking out, they saw the Earth getting closer getting Flash to speak up. "I could run around the power cord, and super charge it.." Batman soon interrupted him.
"No you could over charge it, and damage the core... But there is someone who could." He walked over to the computer, and brought up a picture of Static.
Dakota.
Static with another teen boy in a green purple trimmed costume with a metal backpack, purple helmet with a green visor over his face with another inside that dark green only coming down over his eyes was facing a person that looks like an armadillo, one tall muscular man with purple skin, a girl with dark skin and hair in buns, and a boy with red hair cargo pants, and red shirt.
The girl smirked at them before speaking up. "How do you like my new boy group Static? I call them the Meta-men." The red hair teen hands lit up in fire as he pointed to the heroes. "You barely beat us alone.. But now you can't beat us together." The girl's legs turned in to smoke, and she flew over to them. Only to get pushed back by a red tornado.
Everyone started as Flash stopped, and looked to her. "Anyone tell you have an odor problem Girly?" The girl growled, and ran to him, only for Flash to quickly spin his arm, and send her flying in to a building. The armadillo turned in to a ball, but was hit into the muscular man by Hawkgirl. The fire teen lit up, but an arrow, and a batterang went to him, and exploded in foam.
Naruto flashed behind him, and knocked him out with a chop to the neck. The other teen looked to Static. "Whoa.. How come you didn't tell me you were down with these big dogs?" Static looked to him before replying. "Because it's a secret Gear... So secret I didn't even know." He floated down, and walked up to Batman, and Kage.. "Batman, Kage what are you doing here? Don't you have a galaxy to save?"
Naruto walked up to Static, and crossed his arms. "Well Static... We need your help in the Watchtower." Statics eyes widened before pointing up. "You mean that one?" Gear floated down on his rocket shoes. "Ohhh can I come?!" Hawkgirl just stared at him. "This isn't a field trip you know." Gear puts his hands together, and pleaded. "Please oh please.. I'll stay in a corner." Batman walked over to them, and stared at Gear.
"He can come.. We don't have a lot of time." Gear walked past Hawkgirl who stared at him. "You heard the man." Gear said as Naruto walked to Hawkgirl. "I don't blame him for wanting to come.. Especially with someone as beautiful as you." She rolled her eyes before following after the others. "Come on lover-boy."
Watchtower.
Both Static and Gear looked in awe as they walked in the main room. "Whoa." They said at once before Gear walked to a computer. "I'm in Geek Heaven... A multiphase monitoring system." J'onn soon phased through up to his chest. "I've prepared the core for Static." Static turned over to Batman and raised an eyebrow. "What's going on?" Batman explained they were hit by a cosmic super-strength, and needed him to recharge the tower as they walked to the control room passing the lab.
As they passed the computer, they never saw a blurred green face come up on-screen. They made it to the control room where J'onn had a small door open on the core. "Here's where you can recharge the core." Statics shoulder dropped as he sighed. "Some adventure.. I feel like a big double 'A' battery." Naruto walked over to him, and spoke up.
"Well you can think of it as... Saving millions of people by keeping this tower from crashing in to Earth." Static coughed, rolled his sleeves, and puts his sunglasses' on. "Yeah.. Better get right to it then." As he was recharging, Gear tried to touch a computer. "Hey.. Remember your promise of staying in the corner." Gear turned around, and saw Hawkgirl with her hands on her waist.
"But.." Hawkgirl glared, and pointed to a corner. "In... The... Corner." A depressed Gear walked over as Naruto went to Hawkgirl. "You'll be a great mother." Hawkgirl looked to him, and blinked. "What?" Naruto smiled at her, and continued. "You won't be afraid to say no like other parents." Hawkgirl had turned around, glad that her mask hid the blush on her face as they walked to a computer seeing power coming back.
"Power's coming back on.. I'll put us back in orbit." Hawkgirl said as they felt the tower move. "We're stable." She said as Gear pulls out a camera, and was engulfed in green energy. Naruto turned, and saw Green Lantern beside Gear as Flash sped over. "Easy G.L... He's Sparky's friend." Green Lantern dropped him, and walked over. "No pictures."
"Ok Static.. Green Lantern can take it from here." Batman said as Static stopped, and walked over. "Good.. I feel like a grilled patty." Gear ran over to Static, and grabbed his shoulders. "We don't have to go now do we? I only saw one corner." Suddenly an alarm rang, and J'onn kneeled down near Batman, and Hawkgirl. "It's a distress call from Nervelous Two.. An asteroid is going to collide with their planet."
Hawkgirl looked up to the others. "This will take all of us." Flash shrugged as he stood up. "There goes the afternoon movie." Hawkgirl grabbed her mace, and looked to the two teens. "What about them?" She asked as Batman looked to her. "The station's not fully charged.. They should stay... Just in case." Naruto shrugged before speaking up.
"I'll stay and make sure they don't go in to any rooms they're not supposed too." Later, the three heroes were eating pizza as they looked at the Earth. Gear without his helmet, and wearing glasses, who gave his name of Richie, spoke up. "Pizza in the Watchtower, what could be better?" Naruto chuckled as he took his hood off, and hung his glasses on his vest. "I can think of a couple."
Static looked to him before standing up. "I bet with you dating four women... Man I must have burned a thousand calories recharging." He went to the microwave, and looked to a TV, and stopped seeing a blurred face come up for a second. "Did you see that?" The other two looked up to him before Naruto spoke up. "What?" Static looked back to them, and pointed to the TV.
"There was a face on the screen." Naruto shrugged before speaking up. "I don't know.. Maybe it's on the fritz from the outage." Static looked to the TV screen for a moment. "Maybe.." Suddenly an alarm went off, and a door on the other side opened up sucking the air out. Naruto added chakra to his feet as he shot an arrow to the wall with rope attached to it, and hooked it to his bow.
"Ok.. Maybe in hindsight only a door to the outside without a room was a bad idea." He said holding his bow as Static tried shocking the door close. Naruto looked around, and saw the big fridge. "Static hit the fridge!" Static hit it having it go to the door. "Ok that won't hold, go!" Naruto yelled as they ran to the front door, and Naruto hit the close button only for nothing to happen.
"Damn it!" He yelled before Richie looked to a screen on the wall. "Maybe I can override it." A wire came out of his backpack, and hooked to the screen. A second later, the door finally closed. Static panted for a moment before speaking up. "What was that?" Naruto shrugged before looking to Gear. "I'll take you to the computer room.. Maybe you can find out what happened."
Later, Gear was typing on a computer. "It seems like there's a virus." Static looked to him as a cleaning robot came in. "Can you isolate it?" Gear shrugged before he resumed typing, "I can try." Suddenly Brainiac came on the screen. "Brainiac!" The two teens to him. "Who?" Naruto sighed before he explained. "He's a computer that was from Superman's home planet Krypton.. He didn't tell them that their planet was in danger, or they would still be alive."
"Now he travels the universe getting everything he can from a planet before destroying it.. He must have hacked our computer when we got hit earlier." Brainiac looked to them, and explained he faked the alarm earlier, and is planning to use the Watchtower to destroy the Earth. Naruto then heard something, turned around, and saw the robot attack with a blade on its hand.
He jumped over the robot, and kicked it in to the computer before going through hand signs, and slammed his hand on it. "Denpō Sekka. (Telegram Flash)" Lightning covered the robot before it fell down. "Ok.. That worked." Naruto said before looking to Gear. "Don't use any E.M.P.s it may damage the Tower since it's not fully charged yet." Suddenly, wires wrapped around them, as a giant robot came out. Gear glanced back to his backpack. "Backpack.. A little help."
The Backpack puts a wire out, and used a laser to cut the wires around them. Static got up, and shot lightning at the robot as Naruto picked up an arrow with a tag on it, and shot it at the robot exploding the top half. "Lets go!" They ran to the main room, and Naruto turned, and locked the door as Gear puts Backpack on the computer, and pulls up a blurred video of the others.
"The distress call is fake.. I repeat, the distress call is fake.. Brainiac is in the tower... Static look out!" He yelled as a wire tried to wrap around Static. As Naruto was pulling the wire off, he saw what looked like a boom tube open outside, and the Javelin flew out. "Static, Gear, Kage.. Do you read?" They heard Batman's voice over the hand-held radio in statics coat.
Static pulled it out, and started running. "We've been better!" He yelled out as he saw Green Lantern, Hawkgirl, and J'onn fly out. "You need to get to the core, and drain the power." They ran to the core, and saw an image of Brainiac in lightning come up. "It is inevitable.. I have won." Gear looked to a screen, and hooked Backpack and started playing music.
Static looked to him as he started draining the power. "Now is not the time to play music!" Gear smirked before replying. "Yes it is.. I'm making Brainiac download too many things, and crash.. Like a computer if you do too many things at once." Soon Brainiac disappeared, and the lights dimmed for a second. J'onn phased through the wall, and walked to them smiling.
Dakota at an abandoned Gas Station.
The League was talking to Static, and Gear before Hawkgirl walked forward. "You two did alright." Static shrugged before speaking up. "All in a days work." J'onn stared at them before speaking up. "Don't make light of your accomplishments." Flash ruffled their hair, or helmet in Gears case, and smiled. "Yeah you two really saved the day."
Static looked to him, and smiled himself. "When I'm looking for a summer job.. Can I put that on my resume?" Hawkgirl spoke up after a moment. "We better get back.. There's still work to do." Gear spoke up before they left. "Oh come on, one picture so I can convince myself this wasn't a dream." The others looked to each other as Hawkgirl rolled her eyes.
"Ok maybe just one." They all got together as Gear puts his Backpack on the ground, and it walked a few feet ahead. Naruto who was standing beside Hawkgirl on the end wrapped his arm around her shoulders, and smiled.
Later on, Richie was getting ready to go home and was shutting down his computer before walking to Backpack. "Time to shut you..." He stopped at Backpack jumped on him making him scream.
A Few Days Later at the Watchtower.
Everyone was putting things away as Flash looked to a computer. "Hey.. Am I missing something? The computer says that there was a big download from our hard drive." Batman walked over, and typed on it. "You're right.. And it happened when we beat Brainiac." Naruto walked over and rubbed his chin in thought. "Well what did we miss? We cleaned everything."
Green Lantern walked up to them, and pointed to his back. "Well what about that kid with Static who had that computer on his back?" Hawkgirl turned to him, and raised an eyebrow. "You mean Gear?" B atman looked down for a second before speaking up. "We should check him out.. Flash?" Flash nodded before dashing away. Batman crossed his arms as Naruto counted down. "Three.. Two.. One."
Flash came back rubbing his head. "How do I find him? I don't know what he looks like?" Naruto brought up a video of him, Static, and Gear eating Pizza. "That's him.. But maybe look for Static if he's on patrol if you can't find him." Flash nodded and dashed away.
Dakota.
Flash dashed around the town before finding Richie on a motorized scooter. "Hey I need to talk to you." They went to an ally where Richie looked up to him. "What do you want?" He asked harshly as Flash shrugged. "Need to see your backpack.. We think Brainiac has used it to escaped." Richie took him to the station where they looked around. Where is it?" Flash asked before Backpack jumped on him, and wrapped his legs with wire.
Later.
Static was looking around the station before feeling a hand on his shoulder. "AAHH!" He turned, and saw Batman, and the League walking in behind him. "Easy... We're only looking for Flash.. He came here hours ago looking for your friend." Batman explained as Static pulled out a small walkie-talkie. "Gear.. You read me? The Justice League is looking for you."
After a moment, Gear spoke up. "I'm here at the old steel mill, you all can come." Static looks to Batman who nodded. Later, they walked inside and saw some cut metal on the floor. Naruto sighed before speaking up. "I have a bad feeling about this." They walked inside, and Static looked up to the ceiling. "Lets light it up." He hits the lights with electricity turning them on, revealing a huge device.
Green Lantern sighed before speaking up. "There's no way one kid could do this." Suddenly Flash stopped in front of them. "Hey guys." Hawkgirl looked to him before speaking up. "Where have you been?" Flash shrugged before replying. "With the kid, and his computer." He suddenly dashed, and puts small circular devices on their chests, or back for Hawkgirl.
Red chakra surrounded Naruto burning the device off as electricity took Statics off him. "Everyone connected?" Flash asked as the League straightened up. "Awaiting orders Brainiac." They said together as Naruto got ready. "I knew it.. Brainiac! Come out!" Suddenly, Richie came out of the shadows, with metal on his face, and green eyes. "Let them go Brainiac."
"No... Justice League destroy them." The heroes walked to them as Naruto cursed. "Crap get out of here Static.. Try to take them down without hurting them, or a way to get those devices off!" He shot a Hirashin. (Flying Thunder God.) arrow out, and flashed outside. He landed down on another roof, before seeing Flash dash to him. "Sorry about this. " He said before cloths lining Flash.
He quickly knocked him out before dodging a green blast. "You won't beat me that easily." Green Lantern said as Naruto created a Rasengan (Spiralling Sphere), hits him in the chest, destroying the device, and sending Green Lantern through the roof. He looked up, and saw Static shocking both Hawkgirl and Batman destroying their devices. He ran to Flash, went through handsigns, and touched Flash. "Denpō Sekka. (Telegram Flash.)"
Static flew over as J'onn phased through in front of Static. "You can't touch me." Static smirked before pushing his hand through, and destroyed his device. "Don't need too." Later, they were talking as J'onn told them Richie kept repeating control. "Is there anyway to save Richie?" Static asked as Naruto reached in his quiver, and pulled an arrow with a blue glowing tip.
"I started making E.M.P. arrows since we last fought him.. Figure it would stop him long enough to take him apart." Nodding, all but Static left to the building as it exploded with a large Brainiac head coming out, and it started vaporizing buildings. "Lets go!" They got in the Javelin as Static ran on. Green Lantern stopped him but Naruto spoke up. "Let him come.. Like I said I've got E.M.P.s.. But we can still use the help."
They caught up to the head, and it vaporized the Javelin having Green Lantern shield them. They went through an eye, before looking around for Brainiac. They found him in a new body, typing on a computer. Naruto shot an arrow at him but he caught it, and wrapped everyone in wires. "You cannot stop the inevitable." Brainiac said as Naruto just smirked as the arrow beeped, and a burst of air came from it shutting down every electronic.
Naruto sighed before unsealing a new pair of glasses, and hit the button on the side. "Richie's inside him." Naruto walked around placing bombs around the room before seeing Backpack on Brainiac's back. As the others left, Naruto took Backpack, and ran out as he took out a remote, pressed a button, and having the bombs blow up behind him.
Later.
J'onn's eyes glowed as he looked through Richie's mind as Hawkgirl scanned Backpack. "I see no sign of Brainiac in him.. He's fine." Static walked over to them, and spoke up. "Hey can you see what he did with me Lil' Romeo C.D.?" J'onn looked to him as he took his hands off Richie. "He gave it back to you last month." Richie sat up, and grinned. "Told you." He looked to Hawkgirl who stopped working on Backpack.
"Is Backpack..?" Hawkgirl smiled at him. "Don't worry.. We're just wiping out any traces of Brainiac from his system." Batman nodded before continuing. "Yes.. You'll need to reprogram him though.. But he'll be fine." Richie sighed before speaking up. "Thanks guys.. For saving me." Naruto shrugged before speaking up. "No problem.. It's what we do."
"You rookies did alright.. You'll do fine when you join the League." (1.) Green Lantern said as the teens looked surprised. "Did you say 'when' we join?" Batman handed Backpack to Richie, and smirked. "Anything's possible... When you're older." The heroes left leaving Static, and Gear to smile as they fist-bumped.
