A/N: This, my worst effort at RTJ yet (in my opinion, which is always right XD), is now yours to read. Have fun, and review. Please.
IceQueen-bunch-of-random-numbers: It's a really boring story, actually. We were just going through words that sounded hilarious in Sean Connery's accent (Yes, I can do Sean Connery's accent superbly, thank you for asking) and LSD was one of them.
School starts in a few days, so expect less writing from me. (I will still try and do an RTJ every week or so, stay calm people.)
Red Tornado's Birthday; Upgrades
Red Tornado's Journal: August 15th
Robin evidently told every other member of the team about my lack of information about my activation date, and they simply decided to celebrate it today. (Filing new date for later use: August 15th)
They also decided to inform the entire Justice League. I think my humiliation circuit subroutine has overloaded.
The Cave has been decorated with air-filled "Balloons" and a large banner with "Happy Birthday, Red Tornado" stencilled onto it in red and blue letters.
Each member of the team deigned to present me with a gift, (in Kid Flash's case, badly) concealed with brightly coloured paper and ribbon, which I can only assume is a sign of affection.
List of gifts is as follows:
- One new cape; flame, water and shock proofed – Miss Martian
- Upgraded tornado gauntlets and boots – Kid Flash (I am somewhat surprised by this)
- Wrist flamethrower attachments – Robin
- WD40 – Superboy
- 20 assorted compact storage discs, upon which ABBA and The Doors have been recorded – Zatanna
- One fish (Carassius auratus auratus) in a glass bowl – Aqualad
- One pair of Red Tornado themed foot coverings (socks?) - Artemis (This is the best gift I have ever received.)
Immediately afterwards, the team presented a large iced dessert to me.
This "Cake" was covered in a red and blue form of food called "icing" and had several small wax sticks embedded in it which Superman set on fire with his heat vision.
I was asked to "blow out the candles" so I tornadoed the cake, the entire team and most of the Justice League into a Zeta tube.
Apparently that is not an acceptable response on one's birthday.
Birthdays confuse me.
Red Tornado's Journal: August 16th
Installed the upgraded tornado gauntlets and boots, as well as the wrist flamethrowers. Tornado power is at a 391% increase as a result. Flight speed increased to 190mph. Tested new systems in training with the team.
Upon triggering upgraded tornado generators, entire team lost balance, flew across room and was held against the far wall by the air pressure, other than Robin, who rather ingeniously fired his grapnel gun into the rafters, grabbed the closest person to him by the waist (which was Zatanna, which may or may not have been a coincidence (I suspect not).) and swung out of my tornado tube. (He evidently learned this due to his training with me during his convalescence.)
Fired wrist flamethrowers in unison with tornado gauntlets and created a tornado made of flame; inadvertently melted hole in cave wall and set Superman's cape alight.
Robin and Kid Flash have been cautioned to never purchase me upgrades ever again.
This saddens me; I am rather fond of upgrades.
