Milestones

Dakota is the seventeenth largest city in America,with a population of eight hundred and nine thousand. It was overrun by gangs,decimated by the might of gangsters such as Leonard Smalls,Jr., or even criminals like the Black Mask from Gotham.

Now,it was worse. An explosion of meta-gene gas being carted to the now reformed Cadmus labs had detonated outside the city.

A gang war was going on there, which gave all of them powers. Civilians outside the premises were hit by the gas.

17 year old Virgil Hawkins and his 17 year old friend Richie Foley were hit by the gas almost instantaneously. "Wh-What happened?"Virgil groaned.

"Explosion of dangerous chemicals. Gave everyone powers. You two alright?,"asked a 6'4 African American male with a dark red and green uniform. Icon,the hero of Dakota,who struggled to keep civilians away from gang wars.

"Wow! Icon!"Richie gasped. Virgil's reaction was more reserved,but he still had a shocked face.

"Yeah. Now,you were hit with the meta bomb. We need to scan your DNA for changes,"Icon said firmly.

"OK!"they eagerly volunteered. Icon used a meta gene scanner, crafted from his own hands, to scan the two.

"OK,you in the blue jacket. Your DNA shows electric tints which means you can control electromagnetism. Now, you in the schoolboy outfit,"Icon said,which made Richie embarrassed and made Virgil laugh," You have superhuman intelligence and technopathy,"

"Technopathy?"Virgil asked curiously.

"He can talk to machines,"Icon said.

"Great,Rich,you're the Computer Whisperer,"Virgil chuckled, making Richie chuckle as well.

"Well, you two stay back here. I have to go see if any of the others are hostile,"Icon said.

"We got superpowers!"Richie exclaimed the minute Icon was out of eyesight.

"I know,man!"Virgil replied eagerly.

TWO DAYS LATER

Richie had crafted many devices with his intelligence, such as a retractable flying saucer charged by electricity. Virgil had gained full control of his electricity,able to turn devices on and off by touch. He was starting to be able to do that without touch.

"Hey,Rich,got your call. You got some cool stuff in here,man!"Virgil exclaimed. Richie smiled.

"Yeah,these are Zap Caps. They detonate, and release electricity. You know,in case you ever lose your powers. I made a few that release magnesium and liquid nitrogen as well. I also made you a Static Saucer,"Richie said,proudly showing the metallic circle.

"Wow. A circle. You shouldn't have,"Virgil dryly commented.

"Very funny. It's charged by electricity. It gives you the ability to fly,man!"Richie exclaimed.

"No way!"Virgil yelled happily.

"Yes way! Try it on!"Richie said.

Virgil did and it worked like a charm. Flying as high as the skyscrapers of Dakota,he descended rapidly,flying through street lights like traffic cones. Jumping into the air off of the saucer,he landed on the saucer once more and landed in front of the abandoned gas station used as their base of operations.

Suddenly,an alarm of Richie's sounded. "That's a metahuman alarm! Whenever the words metahuman,bang baby,or superhuman are said over police communications,it rings so we know when to help out,"

"Sweet,"Richie said. The two rushed into the restrooms, and quickly changed into their personae of Static Shock and Gear.

A wind controlling metahuman who called himself Slipstream had control of the air,downing military helicopters. Icon was busy dealing with an honor student turned monster in the other side of the city,so the two teenagers began their assault.

"Hey,Red Tornado reject!"Static yelled. "Yeah,you heard me. Come and see what the heroes of Dakota are made of!"

Gear groaned. Firing a Zap Cap,Slipstream sent a gale burst to send it flying,nearly hitting a police car. Static used his electromagnetism to lift a street light,and used it as a javelin,hitting the wind controller in the gut,pegging him to a building.

"He's all yours,officers,"Static called out. "Just remember,Static and Gear saved you all!"

Richie gave Static a glare for his cockiness,but he didn't say anything.

Suddenly,three flashes of blue light met the two.

"I'm Superman. This is Firestorm,and this is Captain Atom. How would you two like to join the Justice League?"Superman calmly asked.

Richie fainted dead on,and Static had to catch the starstruck teenager.

"W-We'd love to!"Static said.

"Alright,fill out this last form,and you're both in,"Mr. Terrific explained. "You two will be in the training group,"

"Who's in the training group?"Gear asked.

"All of the Teen Titans,Speedy,Stargirl,Obsidian,and now you two,"Terrific stated. The two couldn't believe they would be working with the famous Titans.

LEGION OF DOOM HEADQUARTERS

Bizarro,Black Adam,Luminus,and Solomon Grundy were using brute force to decimate the defenses of Fort Knox. The gold reserve could not stand against Luminus' three hundred hard light duplicates,who all wielded his powers.

Large blue and gray robots came out to defend the base,but they were almost worthless. Luminus could actually bend the light back at them. His duplicates pummeled the large robots backwards,keeping them out of the three brutes' path.

Grundy pummeled a door open. "Enter,"he ordered, speaking in a monotone,sickly voice. Black Adam and Bizarro followed suit. Luminus' duplicates finished off the androids,and then they were absorbed back into Luminus,and he followed the three.

The four were not there for the gold Fort Knox housed.. Fort Knox housed many dangerous criminals. The government used them for a new version of Task Force X,or as its employees called it, the Suicide Squad.

Fifty more robots charged. "Halt,superhumans. The Sentries command you,"they ordered. After an OMAC project decimated most of Jump City by trying to kill every superhuman on Earth,Cadmus retired it and focused it into a larger system, and the Sentries were the result.

An enormous barrage of missiles peppered the four. Luminus erected a light shield,having them impact harmlessly against it. With the other,he blasted the Sentries

Grundy leaped into the air,ripped off the head of a Sentry and hurled it through the chest of another. Black Adam simply flew at the Sentries,tearing through them.

"Me am friend! Me save you!"Bizarro said in his reverse Bizarro speak,as his freezing vision froze three Sentries. Inhaling, his vacuum breath sucked the Sentries in, and he rocketed them backwards with a large grouping of melee. A Sentry blasted him in the back, causing him to stumble in the air.

Exhaling,he unleashed a stream of flames,burning it to pieces.

Black Adam ripped off the head of the last Sentry,and the four continued.

"Stop right there!"ordered Guardian,defender of the base.

"I would stand down if I were you. All four of us have the capabilities to defeat Superman. You will not stand a chance. From what I have heard, you were the one Batman defeated in one kick,"Luminus said coolly.

Guardian hesitated, but stopped. "I won't let you in," he snarled. He wasn't alone,however. A strange gray creature,with two golden horns,wearing a purple and white uniform with an H on his chest walked in,as did seventy-five Sentries.

Guardian rushed Luminus, his shield in front of him for defense. Luminus' hard light bursts were deflected off his shield. Increasing his power, he hurled them at the ground under Guardian's feet. The clone tripped, and Luminus unleashed a torrent of hard light,ripping through the clone's skin,killing him.

The creature held Bizarro in a field of telekinesis,infuriating the genetic defect. Black Adam flew up behind the creature,and snapped his neck.

Within minutes,the other Sentries were destroyed.

"It is becoming vexatious to constantly combat these hulking monstrosities,"growled Black Adam,annoyed.

Finally,they reached the prison cells. Killer Frost,a criminally insane woman who could control ice,or cryokinesis. Doctor Polaris,a ferrokinetic who opposed Green Lantern. Bane, a superhumanely strong brute who opposed Batman. Star Sapphire,a female powered by a purple sapphire gem on her forehead who constantly fought Green Lantern. Sonar, a former servant of Roulette who's Sonic Scepter allowed him to fly,project illusions,fire sonic attacks,and perform telekinesis.

"If you wanna get out of this dump,follow us,"Luminus said.
