Okay! I'm back already!
So, as for my riddle, I made it way to easy, but credit goes to Boogalee99 for the answer. Okay, to be honest, I haven't waited long enough for anymore reviews (I probably should start taking longer time periods between updates, just reviewing makes me really happy!). Plus, she was still the first to get it right.
So anyway, mission time! (He, he, he!) Enjoy, si'l vous paît! Merci! (:
"Hey, KF, wake up. We're almost there." Dick shook the snoring speedster.
"Huh? Wha? On it… wait what am I doing?" Kidflash looked around groggily.
"You're an idiot." Dick scowled at Jason to shut him up, Jason's formor comment directed at Kidflash.
"Alright, everyone. Drop-zone." Miss Martian stood. Her clothes melted into her stealth suit, and Kidflash, Artemis and Kaldur pressed the buttons to which changed their clothes to night-mode.
Dick and Jason, on the other hand, their costume was designed for stealth in the first place, so nothing changed. They hooked themselves up and descended quietly. The air was whipping in a furious mess and rain immediately pelted them.
Dick was glad for the rain-proof cloak and lifted the hood attachment to protect his face. Jason did the same. Then he and Miss Martian, and Jason sped off in one direction, Kidflash, Zatanna and Artemis in the other, and finally Aqualad and SB in the last.
The ground was slick with gritty mud, and Dick looked across the desert. It was wrong. These buckets of water shouldn't be drizzling out here in the usually dry land.
"Oh!" Miss M held her head, staggering in her floating gait.
"What is, Miss M?" Dick asked, concerned.
"A life force… it's terrified!"
"Where? Miss Martian?"
"Th-there…" She pointed to the ground. Dick sighed and he heard Jason snort.
Dick glared at Jason before pointed at the muddy ground. Jason groaned but they all three fell to the ground and started digging. It took maybe ten minutes but eventually Dick hit something that wasn't sand. He pulled it out to find that it was somehow alive. It was a fox, with eyes and ears so big it could have passed as a real-life Pokémon.
"Aw…" Miss Martian took it delicately in her arms and cradled it, brushing off the mud. "What is it?" she asked.
"A Fennec fox." Dick answered. "They live in burrows- I'm guessing the abnormal amount of rain caused it to cave in."
"Poor thing!" She exclaimed but Jason just grumbled about muddy knees.
"I'd just leave it to die. Now I have sand in my gloves, and it is not comfortable!"
"Technically," Dick snorted, "Those are my gloves."
"Yeah but I'm wearing them." Glowered Jason.
But then they kept walking, Miss Martian cradling the shivering creature to her chest as it dried.
Eventually they met the mission point: The Eye of the Storm.
It was eerily calm, the sand warm underfoot and soft breezes barely stirring the hair on their heads. They were the first ones there, despite the ten minute delay for Phoebe, as Megan had named the cream-colored fox.
They stood on the edge, weary to take to the center of the hurricane. Eventually, though, of nothing happening, they wandered reluctantly into the eye.
"I don't see anyone…" Murmured Miss M.
"I hate it when that happens! Fu-" he stopped when Dick glared at him. "-udge. I said fudge. I hate it when they keep you waiting, terrified of what may happen next!"
"You've been on missions before?" Miss M asked blankly.
Dick sighed. It was time to explain. "He's the backup Robin. Batman's partner in training, if you will."
"What?" the Martian exclaimed.
"Shh!" Jason hissed. "It's true. I'm Robin in training. I go out on patrol but I'm not allowed to fight supervillains, and I'm under a lot stricter rules than Di- this Robin." He corrected himself and pointed.
"So, like Robin. But on probation."
"That's a good way to put it." Jason growled. In fact, it was almost perfect. Except usually if Dick got put on probation, he was basically grounded in his Alter Ego.
"I am Eye." Hissed a voice above them. Dick jumped and Jason spun, while in her surprise Miss M went into camo mode, her Cloak hiding Phoebe.
"Uh, okay. We know. You are you." Said KF speeding in with Artemis. Zatanna was nowhere to be seen. "But what's your name?"
"Hey! KF! Nice timing!" Dick grinned at the speeding red-head.
"I know, right? I am good at dramatic entrances!" Kidflash answered with a wave.
"Eye shall destroy every puny little 'hero' in my path!"
Dick looked up to see a mass of dark storm clouds above them, swirling around what looked like the general shape of a human male.
"Um. Okay, I, as in me myself and I? Or 'eye' as in I have two eyes?" Kidflash asked.
"Eye am the Eye of the Storm! Fear Eye!"
"Uh, no thanks!" Dick/Robin stated apologetically, but ruined it when he threw an explosive disk at the mass.
Lightning shot out of the cloud at the disk, making it explode and temporarily throwing the mass off balance.
"How dare you attack Eye? Eye will burn you to a crisp, or better, I conquer you and keep you as a statue in Eye's castle!"
"So… like suspended animation?" Artemis scowled, coming in a minute after Kidflash, and shooting a net arrow that was also blasted with lightning.
"You are right, Archer Girl! Eye shall not keep you as a statue unless you prove yourself to Eye!"
"'Eye' am bored with your yabbering!" Jason snarled, throwing a shock pellet at the mass. The lightning shot it again.
"Eye am getting bored with your- wha?"
Suddenly Miss Martian was barreling towards the cloud top speed, Phoebe screeching in alarm.
Lightning shot out and Miss M screeched as she was shocked and passed out mid-air. She fell but Kidflash caught her in the decent.
"Okay, now I'm angry!" Kidflash carefully lay the greener-than-usual girl at the edge of the storm. He turned, but with the only one of them that could fly out of commission, they needed a different strategy.
"Detract, distract! Number forty-two!" Robin/Dick called to his teammates.
"Got it!" Answered Artemis at the same time as Kidflash.
"What?" Robin/Jason scowled holding his fighting crouch.
Robin/Dick threw a couple birderangs at the mass which easily shot them down. "Uh, cut that! Distract-detract!" he changed his mind.
"Hey Eye! 'Eye' don't care a crap about pollution! I like my car!" Kidflash waved his arms and wagged his body tauntingly.
"Eye don't understand, explain to Eye!"
"Hah. A cloud that doesn't care about global warming, that's something I'd never thought I'd see!" Artemis spat out her tongue and shot an electric arrow, which was blasted.
"Actually, I never have seen a cloud that could care about anything! You're just as stupid as the rest!" Jason caught on.
After a few well-placed jibes from Robin/Jason, the cloud dude was completely focused on destroying him. Jason was really good at making people mad. Dick knew this from experience.
"Eye will have you learn to respect Eye!" Eye roared.
"KF, maneuver 7!" Immediately, Robin/Dick was flying threw the air, and placed a freeze pellet a foot into the cloud. He landed in a graceful roll, immediately back on his feet to see all the water in the cloud freeze.
"Eye am mad now!" Eye screamed in effort to stop freezing. He was losing altitude now and the air inside the Eye got worse and the storm outside began to ease.
"I think we got him." Kidflash panted.
"Never say that." Robin/Jason growled, focused on the storm mass that was slowly freezing over.
A maniacal laughter jarred everyone to the bone. "Eye am not done yet! Eye cannot be conquered! Eye will return!" The cloud froze over the rest of the water condensed.
It plummeted like a rock, but about ten feet above the ground the glass like ice shattered as a lightning bolt coursed through it, peppering them with shards.
But Dick didn't even feel the shards when the most intense filled his body, fire coursing through his veins. He head shook spasmodically and then, in a flash, everything was black, pain still ripping his body to a million pieces.
There you go! So, the last chapter had a riddle, and as I said, Boogalee99 got it right (I knew I was too obvious!) so Boogaalee99, feel free to leave your chapter request in a review or PM me. So, thank you so much, and PLEASE review, they make me REALLY happy, I mean, I posted three chapters yesterday because of just three reviews! Hee, hee! So thank you again and have a nice day!

p.s.: I don't own any DC universe characters. Because, let's face it, if I did, there'd be a third season AND a fourth season of Young Justice. (;
