You're A Superhero Now Gabriel
I own nothing. I own a demonic teddy bear named Snuggle, but I don't own Supernatural or Young Justice.

SUMMERY: We tour the Cave and Red Tornado's evil sibling attacks.
NOTES: This was a much longer haitus than I thought it would be.
WARNINGS: None.
Happy Harbor - No Twisters Allowed
Mount Justice
July 18, 2013 - 11:16 PDT
All clad in civilian clothes, Robin, and Kid Flash and Gabriel, who were arguing over something stupid, arrived at the cave. In an alternate universe, the three of them would be running into the Cave with smiles on their faces. However, since it is not that dimension, you could hear a pair of teenage voices arguing over who would win in a fight: Han Solo vs Indiana Jones. On one hand Indi had a gun and a whip, but on the other Han Solo had a blaster.
It had been over a week since the Justice League allowed the three plus Superboy, Aqualad, and Miss Martian to be a team and they haven't gotten any missions yet. A week is more than enough time for something bad to happen. Are all the worlds villains on vacation?
"Is he here yet?"
"Did you ask him?"
"What he say?"
"He's arriving now," answered Aqualad.
"Then what are we waiting for?"
Outside, Red Tornado landed on the ground. "Greetings," the robot said, "Is there a reason you intercept me outside the cave?" "We hoped you had a mission for us.," Aqualad calmly answered. "Mission assignments are the Batman's responsibility," stated Red Tornado.
"It's been over a week you dumb toaster and nothing-" Gabriel bitterly muttered.
"You'll be tested soon enough. For the time being please enjoy each other's company." Red Tornado interrupted. "This team is not a social club," retorts Aqualad. "No, but I am told social interaction is an important team-building exercise. Perhaps you can keep busy by familiarizing yourself with the cave." The robot walked away.
"Keep busy," Wally scoffed. "Does he think we're falling for this?" Robin question. "I'll find out," Miss Martian volunteered. She attempted to read its mind only to get static. "I forgot he was a machine, inorganic. I cannot read his mind. Sorry."
"Nice try though. So you know what I'm thinking right now?" the red head shamelessly flirted. "We all know what you're thinking right now," Robin told him. Gabriel, pretending to be hurt, added, "Yeah, and I thought we had something special."
"Shut up, Feathers," KF rolled his eyes.
He said "Shut up" to me.
"And now we tour the club house," Aqualad stated. Miss Martian suggested that since her and Superboy lived there that they could play tour guides. The boys turned to the clone of Superman only for him to say, "Don't look at me." "We won't," KF turned to the red haired Martian and smiled, "If SB doesn't want to give a tour you think you could give me and the others a private one?"
"Team building," Aqualad said, "We'll all go."
"So, this would be our front door," Miss M began.
"And this would be the back."
There were a few things Gabriel learned during the tour of Mount Justice. For example, Miss M has never heard of Lord of the Rings and Superboy's room was a closet, which wasn't as surprising as it probably should be.
Back inside the cave, Miss Martian shared with the group how the Cave is actually the entire mountain. "It was hollowed out and reinforced by Green Lantern and Superman during the early days of the Justice League."
"Then why abandon it for the Hall of Justice?" SB asked. The Atlantean answered Superboy's question by stating, "The Cave's secret location was compromised." "The Joker broke in with a bunch of circus monkeys and attacked everybody," Gabriel chimed in. Superboy commented, asking how replacing it with a tourist trap made more sense.
"If villains know about the Cave," Miss Martian said apprehensively, "We must be on constant alert!" The archangel tried to calm his younger sister's look alike by explaining to her how the cave was safe. "We're hiding in plain sight," he told her, "Does anybody else smell smoke?"
"My cookies." The girl quickly flew to the kitchen before opening the oven. Smoke came out along with a tray of what must've been cookies at one point, but now resembled a tray of tiny black rocks. "I was trying to recreate Grammy Jones recipe from episode 17 of- heh. Never mind."
"I bet they would've tasted great," Robin told her. "They don't seem to mind," The Boy Wonder gestured to the red haired speedster bingeing on the overbaked cookies and the winged teenager next to him munching on a few. "I have a serious metabolism," KF blushed. Gabriel shrugged and said, "I like cookies, even if they are a little burnt."
"Should I make more?" Miss M asked. "It was kind of you to make any," Aqualad praised. "Thanks Aqualad."
"We're off duty," the Atlantean told her, "Call me Kaldur'ahm. Actually, my friends call me Kaldur." Kid Flash introduced himself next. "I'm Wally." "And his middle name is Rudolph, like the reindeer," The angel extended his hand toward the alien, "I'm Gabriel. I wish I could tell you Robin's real name, but Batman forbade us all from telling. Probably because it's a really unfortunate one." Robin glared through his sunglasses at that last part.
Miss Martian smiled and introduced herself last. "Well, my name's no secret. It's M'gann M'orzz, but you can call me Megan. It's an Earth name. And I'm on Earth now." She looked so excited saying that.
If Gabriel could compare Anna to M'gann, the list of things they had in common would be fairly short. As far as he could tell, they looked the same and they sounded the same. They were also kind, optimistic and loved the idea of Earth and what was on it, but that was about it. In full honesty, Gabriel and Anna didn't interact as much when Anna officially became a soldier. He remembered bits and pieces, but Gabriel left Heaven thousands of years ago and then Anna fell to Earth during the 1980s. They never saw each other after that. He missed her.
The angel's train of thought was interrupted when Superboy yelled, "Get out of my head!"
"What's wrong? I don't understand. Everyone on Mars communicates telepathically." She said telepathically, freaking everybody out except for Gabriel.
I'm used to hearing other people thoughts.
Kaldur looked at the Martian and told her to stop. "Things are different here on Earth," he explained, "Here, your powers are an extreme invasion of privacy."
"I-I didn't mean to-" M'gann stammered.
"Just stay out." Superboy growled before leaving the room.
It was quiet until M'gann suddenly slapped her forehead and said, "Hello Megan. I know what we can do." She flew out of the room and the four boys followed.
Superboy joined the group as M'gann led them to a room that had a... thing in the center of it.
"It's my Martian Bioship."
"Cute," Wally complimented. "Not aerodynamic," he added, "but cute." Gabriel looked at the ship and asked, "Can any of us even fit in that?"
"It's at rest sillies," M'gann smiled, "I'll wake it."
The round red machine transformed into a spaceship before their very eyes. It had wings and was so much bigger than it was a moment ago. A door on the back of it opened up and M'gann invited them inside.
Inside the ship, six seats formed for each of them. "Red Tornado, please open the bay doors." Miss M took control of the ship and launched them into the sky.
"Incredible," said Robin.
"She sure is," Wally sighed, looking at M'gann, "I mean the ship, which, like all ships, is a she."
"Wally West: Fast with his feet... not so much with his mouth."
"Dude!"
Gabriel turned toward his friend and told him, "Don't be embarrassed, I know a guy who would constantly call his car Baby."
"Not helping."
On the other part of the ship, Aqualad was talking to Superboy about what had happened earlier.
"I may not have psychic powers, but I can guess what you're thinking," Aqualad told Superboy. "You overreacted, and you don't know how to apologize. Just say sorry." Superboy was silent.
M'gann, Robin, Wally and Gabriel heard the two's conversation on their side of the ship. "He'll come around," Robin assured her. Sadly, M'gann whispered, "He doesn't seem to like me much."
"You guys remember he has super hearing, right?" Wally reminded the two talking.
"We're also like five feet away from him," Gabriel pointed out.
To lighten the mood, Robin asked M'gann to show off her Martian shapeshifting abilities. She got up from the controls and transformed into Robin, then Archangel, then Kid Flash. She was really good, if you ignored the fact that she shapeshifted into female versions of the boys.
"Is it wrong that I think I'm hot," Kid Flash commented.
"No, Wally, it surprises no one that you would screw yourself," Gabriel joked.
"Impressive," Robin clapped, "but you know you're not gonna exactly fool anyone with those."
"Mimicking boys is a lot harder," M'gann, now back in her normal Martian form, embarrassedly admitted.
"And your clothes?" Aqualad asked.
"They're organic, like the ship," she explained, "they respond to my mental commands."
"As long as they're the only ones." Superboy said, recalling what the G-Gnomes had done to him at Cadmus. This made Miss Martian feel upset again.
"Can you do that ghosting through walls thing that Manhunter does?" KF asked, changing the subject to try and cheer his new friend up.
"Density shifting," she clarified, "No. It's a very advanced technique."
"Flash can vibrate his molecules right through a wall," Robin said, then gestured toward KF and chuckled, "Whenever he tries it, bloody nose."
"I'm getting a lot better actually," Wally said. His nose wouldn't bleed as much as it used to and he could vibrate a hand through paper.
"Here's something I can do," M'gann smiled. The bioship suddenly turned invisible. "Camouflage mode."
"Red Tornado to Miss Martian. An emergency alert has been triggered at the Happy Harbor power plant. I suggest you investigate covertly. I'm sending coordinates."
"Received. Adjusting course." M'gann changed their directions to where the power plant was.
"Tornado's keeping us busy again," scoffed Robin. "Well, a simple fire led you to Superboy," M'gann added, "We should find out what caused the alert."
"I think I know the cause," said Superboy, looking at the ground. A tornado was spinning, destroying all in its way in the parking lot, and the bio-ship getting caught in it. The teens in the ship screamed. Thankfully, Miss Martian managed to escape and land on the ground. The six jumped out of the ship and heard workers in the building calling for help as the tornado attacked.
"Robin, are tornadoes common in New England?" asked Aqualad, but Robin was gone. "He was just here."
Inside the power plant, where Robin had snuck off to without any back up, Robin was flung into a wall by a wind-controlling robot. His friends came rushing in as that happened.
"Who's your new friend?" Superboy questioned running in with the others.
"Didn't catch his name, but he plays kinda rough," answered Robin.
"My apologies," said the large, deep voiced android. "You may address me as Mr. Twister." He shot them with painfully fast moving air. Superboy persisted to move forward, but was caught in one of the tornadoes and thrown into a wall. Wally put on a pair of running goggles and he, Gabriel pulled out his blade, and Robin, Aqualad, and Miss Martian charged toward the robot.
Wally, being the speedster of the team, was in the lead and attempted to kick Mr. Twister in the face. This failed however because the robot just used a tornado to send him flying out the window. Kaldur and M'gann where thrown into walls and Gabe dropped his sword.
"I'll go get Wally," Gabriel said as he flew out the building.
Outside, Wally laid unconscious. All Gabe had to do was heal his minor head injury. He leaned in close touching his forehead to heal any and all injuries. The redhead's eyes open and he sprung up so quickly that he hit his friend with his head.
"Ow!" Wally exclaimed, clutching his skull. "What the heck, Gabe?!"
"You were passed out. I had to wake you up somehow."
"What happened to the rest of the team?"
"Still fighting Robo-Nado."
As the archangel said that the Robo-Nado in question was exiting the building. Wally ran toward the robot at 100 mph with Gabriel by his side, sword in hand.
"What did you do to our team?" Kid Flash demanded.
"Embarrased them, largely." Mister Twister answered.
God, Robo-Nado was a jerk.
Twisters were shot at the two heroes. Both were trapped in them, but M'gann saved them. "I got you boys."
"I would have thought you had all learned your limitations by now," the bad guy mocked.
"What do you want?" Kaldur called out to the robot. "Isn't it obvious," the thing asked, "I'm waiting for a real hero."
Aqualad turned to M'gannn. "Read his mind. Find a weakness," he ordered.
"I thought I wasn't supposed to do that," Miss Martian questioned.
"It's okay when it's the bad guys," Robin told her.
She used her powers, only to hear nothing. "Hello, Megan. Mister Twister is Red Tornado in disguise," she realized. "He's inorganic, an android. And how many androids do you know that can generate tornadoes?"
"Red Tornado sent us here."
"After saying we'd be tested soon enough," Robin pointed out, "This is the test. Something to keep us busy."
Superboy and Aqualad groaned, Wally admitted that Speedy was right in calling them a joke, and Gabriel wished that the Justice League could've at least sent somebody else.
"We know who you are and what you want."
"So let's end this."
"Consider it ended." The android summoned dark clouds and went up in the air. "An impressive show, but we will not indulge you. We will not engage." Aqualad told the robot. Thunder and lightning struck.
"Can Red Tornado do that?" KF worriedly asked.
"You think I'm Tornado? Ironic" He struck the entire team with lightning after saying that.
Ok. Not Red Tornado. Definitely not Red Tornado.
"Fine then. I won't deny you children have powers, but playing hide-and-seek with you would not help me achieve my objectives, so stay concealed. If you confront me again I will show no mercy." The machine flew off.
"What happened," one of the teenagers groaned. "I placed the bio-ship between us." the martian girl told them. "And that's supposed to make it right. You tricked us into thinking Twister was Red Tornado." Superboy angrily responded. "She didn't do it on purpose," Aqualad defended. "It was a rookie mistake. We shouldn't have listened." Robin said. "You are pretty inexperienced," Wally commented, "Hit the showers. We'll take it from here." Superboy ran off with Robin and KF following.
"I was just trying to be part of the team," M'gann said sadly. "To be honest, I'm not sure we really have a team." Aqualad ran off with the others, leaving M'gann and Gabriel alone.
"You okay?" the angel asked. "No," the young Martian girl answered. "I-I really messed up." He wrapped his wings around her. It was something he remembered doing with the younger angels when he was still in Heaven. His company would always make them feel better. He smiled at the memory. Things were so much simpler back then. Even if he and his sister weren't close, he still had good times with her. Like the time he took her and some other angels to Earth and they watched all the dinosaurs walk and fly before they went extinct. After leaving Heaven he almost regretted not saying goodbye.
"It's okay. Everybody messes up once in a while and you're brand new to the whole superhero thing. Do you really think Batman started out as the world's greatest detective we know today, or that Superman was able to rescue every single kitten that got stuck in a tree?" She laughed at that second part. "You have a point, but why would an android with similar abilities as Red Tornado be doing here?" "I don't know, but we should probably call the real Red Tornado and tell him about this."
In the bio-ship, the angel and martian contacted Red Tornado. "Greetings children. Is there something that you require assistance with?" The two explained what happened, with Gabriel it concluding with, "We basically got our asses handed to us." "The team really needs your help." M'gann pleaded.
"If I interveaned," Red Tornado began, "it would not be to help. Still, it is an odd coincidence that this Twister shares my elemental abilities and my immunity too telepathy."
Well that was a bummer.
"Hello Megan," she slapped her forehead. "What?" the angel asked. "I have and idea."
Superboy, Aqualad, Robin, and Kid Flash were doing about as well as you would expect them to.
"You brought your utility belt?" KF asked. "Never leave home without it - first thing Batman taught me." the boy wonder replied.
Suddenly, M'gann's voice rang in their heads. "Listen to me. All of you."
"What did we tell you?" Superboy asked angrily. He says a lot of things agrily that at this point you should just assume he says everything like that.
"I know, and I know I messed up. But now I'm very clear on what we need to do. Please trust me."
Car alarms blared as citizens screamed and ran for their lives. "Everybody clear the area," a police officer called out.
Red Tornado flew to the ground with Archangel by his side. "Hit the showers boys," the android told them, "I was hoping you could handle this. Clearly, you cannot."
"But we got a plan now," Robin whined. "Do what he says Rob. He knows what he's doing." Gabriel said in the most bored voice he's ever used.
"I was beginning to believe you'd never show up." Mr. Twister said.
"I'm here now." Red Tornado replied. The android created a tornado and aimed it at Twister, causing the other to do the same. "We are evenly matched, Twister."
"No Tornado we are not."
They fought until RT fell to the ground. Mr. Twister stood above him. "Remain still, android," wires came out of him and attached themselves to Red Tornado, "The reprogramming won't take long." Red Tornado then tore off the wires and revealed himself to be M'gann. "Longer than you think."
Suddenly, Twister found himself caught in a tornado Kid Flash created with his super speed. He was then punched into the water by Superboy where Aqualad was waiting to electrocute him. When he got out of the water, Archangel cut his arms off in the air with his blade. Finally, Robin threw an explosive batterang at the android, and he fell to the ground.
Twister's chest then opened up and a small man with a weak sounding accent came out. "Foul. I-I call foul." And then M'gann dropped a boulder on him.
The boys just stood there with their mouths agape. Even Gabriel, who had done far worse in the past, was in shock. "What the f***!"
"Don't know how things are done on Mars, but on Earth we don't execute our captives!" Robin yelled.
"You said you trust me." She then lifted the boulder off the man, revealing nothing but squashed metal and wires.
Oh thank Dad!
"That's why I couldn't read his mind."
Wally picked up the man's mechanical eye. "Cool. Souvenir."
"We should have had more faith in you," admitted Aqualad.
"You did great," Archangel smiled at M'gann.
"Yeah. You rocked this mission. Get it? Rocked." KF grinned.
"Ignore him. We're all just turbed you're on the team," Robin told her.
"Thanks. Me too."
Later at the Cave, the team filled in Red Tornado about what happened. "It was clearly meant to sabotage or destroy you," Aqualad told him. The android agreed.
"Is that why you wouldn't help us?" asked M'gann.
"No. This was your battle. I do not believe it is my role to solve your problems for you. Nor should you solve mine for me."
"But if you're in danger-" Miss Martian argued.
"Consider this matter closed." Red Tornado then turned to leave. "Batman, Aquaman, and Flash would've jumped right in to fix things."
"Guess if we're gonna have a babysitter, a heartless machine is exactly what we need," Wally said.
"Dude! Harsh."
"And inaccurate," the android corrected, "I have a heart. Carbon-steel alloy. I also have excellent hearing."
"Sorry. I'll strive to be more accurate."
Gabriel turned to his friends, "Speedy was so wrong. This team thing..." "Might just work out." Aqualad finished.
I blame my lack of updates for almost a year on school and my laptop breaking. After that I took a break from writing, mostly because I didn't have a laptop for so long and got used to the laziness. For that I apologize. On the bright side school went pretty well last year. I made a horror movie.
...
Daughter of Ironman06: Thanks, I'll try. Sam and Dean are going to show up in the same chapter and Cas will show up shortly after that.
princessbinas: M'gann isn't actually Anna from Supernatural. She most likely would've recognized Gabriel instantly, or feel the presence of another angel. And then all Hell would break loose.
ShiroHollow96: I'll be honest and say I was planning on Barry being with Iris. I like Hal and I like the ship, but him and Barry will most likely have an epic bromance instead of a beautiful romance. On the bright side, maybe I will end up pairing Gabe and Wally. I'm starting to like the idea the more I think about it.
Guest: Thank you
Jebest4781: Thanks for all the reviews and input. If you mean big like Flashpoint and thee angels falling, you'll have to wait a few chapters.
Guest 2: Thank you
Firehedgehog: Thanks
percab8531: 1) Yeah. 2) I've never been to a Supernatural Convention before, but there was a Comic Con in my area a week before my birthday that my parents and I went to where I got Mark Pallegrino's autograph. It was so fun! I dressed up like Wonder Woman, took a few pictures with cosplayers, bought some stuff, and ate a hamburger. 3) Cool, I actually remember going to a Blockbuster once. If I remember correctly, I got a Dora the Explorer DVD. I was really little. Thanks for liking the story and I promise he will receive the biggest lollipop you can imagine.
Sceonn: I can understand that.
A: Thank you. I like your name by the way.
AngelFaux: Maybe you are. Maybe you aren't. As for the other thing, I think it would've been a deus ex machina. Besides, would you rather magically get rid of your problems with magic and under 3 seconds or slash it with a sword until it's confetti?
Guest 3: How about two cherries?
PLEASE READ ME: I like your costume idea. I might use it in the future. Thanks for the idea :)
PurpleNightwing: I updated
...
I hope you all liked it. Next chapter's based on one of the comics and I've already started working on it.
