I don't own Young Justice or The Secret Saturdays.
Bioship-2010-Tuesday- 9:58 P.M.
The atmosphere was tense in the ship as Zak and the others landed in Las Vegas. Now, none of them were strangers to the big city, but with this being an important mission, they couldn't afford to joke around. Miss Martian placed the ship a few miles outside the city in one of the more remote areas. As she did so, Zak was pulling his gloves over his fingers, flexing them at the same time.
His mask was similar to Robins, except for a few minor details. His suit came up to his neck, as he hooked his claw on his belt. Miss Martian set up a link between everyone as they began their mission. Aqulad paired Zak off with Kid Flash. The duo bumped fists before heading north. Not surprisingly, they reached the building first. The two teens were waiting for the others to show up as they secured the perimeter.
"Zak! I got trouble over here!" Kid's voice went quiet after that as the young Saturday headed to his direction.
Zak's eyes widened as greenish-yellow eyes stared back at him as he rounded the corner.
"Greetings and bienvenue young Saturday."
Las Vegas-2010 10:23 P.M. (Aqualad and Miss M)
Over on the west side, Miss Martian and Aqualad were not faring much better. Miss Martian was facing off against Klarion as Aqualad fought Teekl. Despite common belief, taking down a big fat saber tooth magic beast was not easy work. Miss Martian hit the sidewalk with a loud thump behind him. He saw Miss Martian grab and hold her side. Klarion laughed as Aqualad rushed to her side. Merely raising a hand, he slammed Aqualad against the nearest wall. Well, more like threw it, knocking the poor boy out.
Miss Martian quickly gathered her strength and cloaked herself and moved as stealthy as possible behind the witch boy. Panting, she moved him telepathically into another building on the other side of the road. Surprised, he flew with the move, until Teekl cushioned his fall. With him momentarily distracted, Miss Martian moved towards Aqualad quickly. Swinging him over her shoulder, she tried contacting the other members of the team.
"Don't think I'm done with you. That last move really hurt you know?"
Las Vegas- 2010 11:56 P.M.
Batman was greeted with a disheartening scene. His protégé laid on his side facing away from him. Barely controlling himself, he steadied himself toward the bloodied bird. Bruce checked his pulse, and signed quietly in relief. It was still there. It was faint but it was still present. Both Zatanna and Artemis were in similar positions. They looked slightly better off, but were still in bad conditions.
Flash and Green Lantern had already found Miss Martian and Aqualad. Superboy, Zak, and Kid Flash were still missing.
An explosion from the north ripped Batman from his thoughts. The other members already were on their way. Batman left Robin and the others with Black Canary and Green Arrow.
Las Vegas-2010- 12:05 A.M. (Zak, Flash, and Superboy)
Superboy punched Teekl into the ground as Klarion came at him again. Zak a.k.a. Cryptid kicked him in the stomach, getting his attention again. The left side of his face was bloody. He wiped it with his sleeve as he knelt next to Superboy.
Kid Flash was on the sideline knocked out. Blood was dripping down his mask, and Zak was sure he had a concussion.
Suddenly, Klarion smirked as Zak and Superboy forced him in a corner. His smirk widened as Zak knelt on one knee. "I'm sorry, do you need a minute?"
Superboy rushed towards him, cutting him off. Klarion placed a barrier between the two of them, before incasing him in a ruby-purple sphere. His smile was splitting his face in half as he blasted Superboy through the walls; effectively stunning the boy. With one threat temporarily taken care of, Klarion advanced on Zak.
"Tell me boy. Did you enjoy your little talk with your cryptid friend?" The villain said friend with his voice dripping with mockery and fake compassion. He reached down and gripped the boy by the throat.
"A lot of people would pay a good price for your services Saturday." Klarion must've saw his shock because his laughter got even louder. Rumble could be heard in the far distance, and Zak began to struggle in Klarion's grip.
"Sorry, but for one: I don't do that kind of work anymore. And two: let me go!"
Zak gripped his claw, and moved the claw in a reverse grip before stabbing the blunt end in Klarion's side. His hold loosened, allowing Zak to wiggle free. Klarion frowned as he grabbed Zak's collar again. Making a sphere with his free hand, he pushed it into Zak's stomach, getting a pained gasp from the boy. Tossing him across the room, Zak somehow landed through a mirror.
Not a second later did a batarang swing by Klarion's head. The tips of his horns were nicked off, as Batman and the others kept from all directions. Flash and Canary were picking up Zak and Kid Flash as Superman supported Superboy. Batman and Wonder woman engaged in a short battle with Klarion and Teekl as Klarion floated above their heads with a flip.
"This was fun and all, but I've got an appointment this afternoon. Send my regards to your team. Especially the young Saturday." He cackled as he stepped through a red portal disappearing from the group.
Secret Saturdays Home 2010 Friday 4:30 P.M.
"You have a lot of nerve showing up here again. Look at what you did to my baby!"
Zak grumbled as he and Fisk held his mother back. She had her fire sword in her hands this time and was ready to chop up the caped Crusader. Robin and the rest of the team were back at Mount Justice resting. Nothing was wrong with them, except for their egos. Especially Kid Flash's.
Still, back to the present situation.
Batman had decided to drop off Zak personally since the boy had a broken arm and bandages around his left eye. And needless to say; Drew was not thrilled to find her youngest injured. Doc was sitting at the kitchen table overlooking over new artifact. The family was just about to leave and head to South America when Zak and Batman showed up.
Wadi was on her way to pick up Zak for their bi-weekly 'fun-time' as they called it. Ulraj wasn't in the mood to deal with Komodo apparently.
"We'll have to talk about this later mom. Wadi's here."
Submarine 2010 Friday 4:40P.M.
"What's wrong?" The gentle voice shook Zak from his thoughts. He met Wadi's green eyes but suddenly found the ocean and her fish to be more appealing.
"Nothing."
"Liar." Stopping the submarine, Wadi turned to Zak.
"Where did the submarine come from?" He asked, trying to change the subject.
"Found it, but that's not what's really you bothering is it?"
Pause.
"Is it Argost again?" Zak's face whipped around as she crossed her arms.
"You get that look on your face whenever you two talk. What did he say this time?" Zak shook his head as Wadi continued to press the issue.
"Nothing! If I wanted to talk about it, then I would say so. But since there's nothing to talk about-just drive!"
The submarine was quiet, but Wadi dropped the issue and started up the submarine.
"You don't have to say anything. You'll tell me when you're ready Zak."
…
"Did you bring me anything from Vegas?"
End Scene. Zak's superhero code name is… Cryptid! Also, Zak's costume design came from Zak Saturday as well. Review if you have the time. Bye-bye.
