I thought of this randomly when I was learning to drive stick shift. Probably should have been paying more attention to my sister. I already know how to drive, dang it! Just not stick. I don't own, etc.
"So, is Wally going to meet us at the mall?" M'gann asked. It was team bonding day. She and Robin were the only ones left in the cave. Wally had run home quickly to get something.
"Yeah, and Supey and Roy are finishing up with helping BC move things. Roy said they'll meet up with us there."
"It's so nice that Red Arrow wanted to join us." Robin nodded. They were about to leave when Wally called. "What's up Fleety?" M'gann stood patiently waiting for Robin's conversation to end.
"Slow down! I can't understand you…Turn on the news….5…Why? What's…Okay dude." He hung up. "Wally wants us to watch the news really quick." M'gann frowned slightly. "Okay, but the others are waiting…" Her reminder fell to an empty space as Robin was already gone. She sighed and joined him in the living room where he had flipped to the channel.
"The high-speed chase has been going on for ten minutes now. Involving a red pickup truck with what looks to be a teenage boy at the wheel. There is only one passenger in the vehicle." A lady talking in a helicopter said. The camera switched to the highway where there were at least 7 police cars following. "The speed has been increasing and decreasing rapidly. The truck driver seems to be attempting to avoid any risk of collision with civilian cars."
The camera zoomed into the driver's cab. "We have a better look at the driver and passenger now. The driver is defiantly a teenager with black hair and a football player's build. The passenger is older with red hair and seems to be shouting at the driver. Who knows what's going on between those two."
Robin and M'gann were speechless. "That's Roy's truck, isn't it?" Robin slowly nodded. "And Conner's driving?" He nodded again. "Call Roy now!" She almost snarled. Robin had never been so afraid of her. Roy picked up after four rings. "Hey Rob, what's going on?" He asked calmly. Robin could hear the sirens in the background. "Why are you being chased by the police! What the heck are you thinking! I thought you were helping Canary move!" Robin was livid.
Roy just laughed. "See, I decided to teach Conner how to drive stick shift. LOOK OUT FOR THAT BARRICADE! " Roy suddenly shouted. Robin turned back to the screen and noticed Conner swerving around the road blocks like an expert. "Would you believe me if I told you I thought being in a car chase would make him learn how to drive?" "No." Robin hissed. He heard Conner yelling something.
"Okay, well, you see, he kind of got pulled over and he didn't have a permit and I kind of forgot my license. So the guy was really suspicious of us and all the stuff we had in my truck. He probably thought we robbed some place." Roy laughed. "Continue moron." Robin blatantly stated. He sighed.
"He wanted us to get out so he could search the truck and I told Conner to step on it."
"Why the in the name of Justice would you do that!" Robin shouted. "I kind of had my Red Arrow gear in the back and copies of Justice League files that could potential expose some heroes. I've been working on a plan to jump and blow up the truck. I just need a better area to do it. Preferably the bridge so we can make a getaway."
"You imbecile! Your solution was to get more police involved and destroy the truck! What about Conner!" He heard some swearing in the back again. It sounded like Roy winced.
"I think he's actually enjoying it."
Let me know what you think! I enjoy hearing from you.
