Relativity V2 4
XFN 'Oblivion'
Relativity looked at the small outpost, little more than a small station and few wings of fighters, he brought it forward and aimed his anti-strike craft missiles, he allowed himself a smile before allowing them to fly, watching as the fighters went into evasive manoeuvres to try and avoid the fragmenting missiles was all but useless and within seconds the entire group of strike craft was destroyed, confident of little to no retaliation he moved the vast ship into range and initiated one of it's special features, a communication dampener, that effectively stopped the station form calling for help, with that done he selected the main cannon, and fired watching with glee as the massive frontal cannon charged and then released a beam of energy ,which struck the station and destroyed it in mere moments.
With that done he had to plan his next move, attacking the Green lanterns would be counter intuitive, but the UGN would be a ripe target and almost certainly in session. With that he in-putted the co-ordinates and engaged hyper-space
the Tower
"What's up with robin?" cyborg asked as Raven walked back into the main room, she only shrugged
"hard to tell, Joker Junior is one cause but Starfire is definitely causing problems, I've got a psychologist coming in next week and until he's better he been placed on indefinite leave, which means two things, one I'm in charge and two we need two more titans" they all nodded, as painful as it sounded they were crime fighting super-heroes and they couldn't do that properly if they only had three members.
That night they all sat down to choose two new members, and acceptance permitting, getting them to the tower and integrated within the week, they had three piles, the first was honorary titans, the second were other teenage super-heroes they knew but weren't titans and the final were any teenage super-heroes that weren't in the first two piles. They considered the first pile first and immediately they found on of their choices, Argent was a capable ranged support and while she lacked the ability to fly her general purpose power made up for it, it was the second titan, melee specialist, that caused headaches, Panther lacked the agility and speed that made Robin an excellent distraction for the 'heavier' titans to arrive, Gnarrk and Kole were again excellent melee fighters but neither wished to leave the forest and Gnarrk would have issues with modern society and fitting in, which meant they had to turn to non titan super-heroes, and found the perfect candidate in Bullet witch, though she had no training her shotgun meant she could engage more targets and provide her with a melee weapon if needed
S.T.A.R. Labs, jump division, military technologies
the man stared the specifications for about five minutes, trying to take in the absurdity of the task
"so let me get this straight" his voice was young but spoke of a chain smoking habit "you want me to design, build and test a multi-purpose fighter craft that can mount all of these" he gestured at the massive list "weapons, fly in both space and in atmosphere, go at least twice the speed of sound, go for one and a half days without refuelling, weight less than 3.5 tonnes and cost less than 750 million a pop" he laughed quietly "you're of your rocker"
"I assure you I am not 'of my rocker' I want a prototype built and ready in 12 months" the man sighed
"of course sir" the man terminated the connection and sat down, waiting for the calm meditative state he worked best in.
