A Musical Sequel

I Just Can't Wait to be Alpha

The Team was gathered in the mission room, waiting for their orders from Nightwing. They stood in their groups chattering away

Lagoon Boy, Robin and Blue Beetle stood together, talking about the upcoming mission.

"I hope I get on Alpha this time!" La'gaan said.

"But what's so great about that?" Jaime asked while Robin rolled his eyes.

"The Alpha squad is the best! Plus, it shows the League exactly how heroic you are. I could be the next one inducted!"

"Sure, amigo."

"I see you're doubting me. But you're wrong."

Lagoon Boy decided to do his best at convincing him. Robin stood by, thinking about how stupid this was.

"I'm gonna be a mighty hero
So enemies beware!" La'gaan said.

"Well, I've never seen a Justice Leaguer
With quite so little flare," Robin broke in.

Lagoon Boy just glared at him and continued on.

"I'm gonna be the main event
Like no hero was before
I'm brushing up on looking down
It's what I was meant for."

"Thus far, a rather uninspiring thing," Robin broke in again.

"Oh, I just can't wait to be Alpha!
No one saying do this."

"Now when he said that, he—" Blue Beetle started.

"No one saying be there," Lagoon Boy interrupted.

"What he meant was..."

"No one saying stop that."

"Look, what you don't realize..."

"No one saying see here."

"Now see here!"

Free to do what I want all day."

"Well, that's definitely out..." Robin mumbled.

"Free to do it all my way!"

"I think it's time that you and I
Arranged a little talk," Blue Beetle said.

"Heroes don't need advice
From little crazyheads for a start."

"If this is where the League is headed
Count me out!
Out of service, out of the Milky Way
I wouldn't hang about... aagh!
I wish that I could live like a cicada," Robin said. The others just stared at him strangely.

"Oh, I just can't wait to be Alpha!
Everybody look left
Everybody look right
Everywhere you look I'm
Standing in the spotlight!" La'gaan started again.

"Not yet!" Robin reminded him.

"Let every creature go for broke and sing
Let's hear it in the Team and in the League
It's gonna be Lagoon Boy's finest fling," Blue Beetle got caught up in the act.

"Oh I just can't wait to be Alpha!
Oh I just can't wait to be Alpha!
Oh I just can't waaaaaait ... to be Alpha!"

And then Nightwing arrived. They grew silent as he pulled up pictures on the holographic screens.

Psimon stood on one, Queen Bee was on another. He turned to them and started talking.

"Yesterday, Psimon awoke from his 5 year coma. Earlier today, Queen Bee along with several of her still loyal soldiers broke him out of the hospital. Their whereabouts are currently unknown, but we have a lead. We will be breaking up into two teams. Alpha will be going after Psimon's last know hideout, while Beta will be heading to Queen Bee's palace."

"I thought she had lost the throne," M'gann commented.

"She did, but she owns her palace. I will be leading Alpha team. M'gann you are in charge of Beta. Robin, Lagoon Boy, Impulse, Beast Boy and Superboy are on Alpha. Miss Martian, Wondergirl, Batgirl, Blue Beetle, and Bumble Bee are Beta," Nightwing said.

"If we're going after Queen Bee, why do we have Blue Beetle on our team? Won't she be able to seduce him?" Wondergirl asked.

"I don't think so. His armor won't allow him, will it, Jaime?" Nightwing said.

"No, it says- I mean, it won't," Blue Beetle replied.

"Everyone prepare to leave at 0800," Nightwing said.

They all left, except for Lagoon Boy and Blue Beetle.

"Did you hear? I'm on Alpha!" Lagoon Boy said excitedly.

"That's great. We need to get ready to go, though."

And the two left to prepare for their next mission.

Another day, another chapter. See y'all next time! Which might be a while, since I'm taking next week off. Sorry, finals come first, because my parents will kill me if I don't do well.

Have a happy day,
