Happy Harbor
August 8, 22:05 EDT
In the east coastal city of Happy Harbor, Naruto Uzumaki walked around a small woods area as he held his arms behind his head as he listened to his friend's questions.
A young boy a few years younger than Naruto with short wavy black hair with the sides faded walked alongside the ninja while dressed in a usual outfit of a blue and red bodysuit with a Superman emblem on his chest while he wore a black leather jacket over the costume.
"Ok so let's say you wash up on the shores of the Land of the Babes," Superboy asked as he adjusted his circular dark shades.
Naruto looked over to his little friend as they continued to walk together in the woods as they got closer and closer to their destination.
"Do you mean the place that Wonder Lady is from?" Naruto asked as he continued to hold his arm up and back.
"Dude she's called Wonder Woman," Superboy said as he emphasized the woman part. "Anyway let's say you've landed on the Island of the Babes…"
"I don't think it's called that!" Naruto said cutting the boy of steel off midsentence. "I mean I don't remember what it's called but I'm sure it's not called that."
"Well for the sake of my question, it's called the Land of the Babes!" Superboy said as he flew a few inches off the ground and got into Naruto's face while they both continued to move forward.
Naruto looked a bit irritated at the young clone getting in his face as he mumbled, "Ok, ok just get on with it."
Superboy landed back down and finished his question, "Alright so you wash up on the shores of the Land of the Babes right? And you're brought before the Queen Babe, and she says that you got two choices."
Naruto nodded with a wary look, "what are the choices?"
"Since you washed up on the Land of the Babes by accident you can get a ride back to the regular world or you can fight the biggest toughest Babe."
Naruto placed a hand under his chin and closed his eyes as he thought for a second until another thought crossed his mind, "Wait why would I want to fight the toughest Lady?"
Smiling from ear-to-ear Superboy replied, "Because if you win you can have a chance to totally bang the Queen of the Babes…and then the toughest Babe and then all the Babes and become the prince of Babe Island!"
Naruto scrunched his face up and looked back at the smiling little idiot, "You're a little pervert…wait why would I be the prince of the Island of Wonder Women and not the king…would I be the Queen's son?" He said the last part with venom as incest wasn't really his thing.
"Yeah, she could be your totally hot stepmom!" Superboy said that with a bit too much excitement at the prospect of Queen Hippolyta being his adoptive mom. "But no, you're the prince because if you were the king everybody would try to fuck you over but…" Superboy paused as he lowered his shades to look Naruto in the eyes and say, "When you're a prince everybody tries to fuck you!"
Naruto walked in silence for a few seconds before he sighed, "Ok that's it no more Entourage for you."
"What!" Superboy shrieked out in pure terror, "But there's a new episode premiering tonight, I want to find out if Vince is going to be the spokesperson for Turtle's new tequila venture!"
Superboy's pleas came to deaf ears as they reached their destination of what looked like a school. "See I told you this was just a high school."
"let's take a look around anyway I've never been to a real school before!" The friends followed a chain-linked fence around the border between the woods and the school. Even though they both could have gone over the fence they chose the long way instead.

Miss Martian and Artemis stood on opposite sides of the opening of the fence as they were on the lookout for any Shadows.
Even though the two teenage girls stood there silently, thanks to Miss. M's powers they were able to have a silent telepathic conversation.
With her arms folded and a slightly pouty yet angry expression on her face, Miss Martian looked away from her sector to glare at Artemis. "You embarrassed Superboy!" she said with her mind.
With her bow drawn out for attackers Artemis lowered her weapon a bit and addressed the daughter of Mars, "didn't hear him say that." The smugness of her tone carried with her thoughts as Miss Martian's mental link worked like a psychic radio frequency.
Miss Martian continued to glare at the emerald archer, "must you challenge everyone?"
Without turning around, she replied, "were I come from that's how you survive." She looked over her shoulders to glare right back at the Martian.
Miss Martian narrowed her eyes as both young ladies were too busy bickering to notice a Shadow run up and scale the fence entering the school they were guarding.
They did, however, notice two teenage boys coming towards them as they approached the fence opening.
"Look Naruto, Babes!" Superboy shouted, alerting the two as he flew into the air and in front of them. The two girls looked up at the younger boy in shock at what he was doing and by what he was wearing.
"Sup, Ladies!" he said with an arrogant tone, "the name's Superboy how would you two like to go for a moon lite stroll through the clouds?"
Superboy had his hand placed on his hips as he made his pecs dance but due to the fact that his pectoral muscles where that big it just looked like he was struggling to lift his arms or something.
"And people say I'm an idiot," Naruto said as walked up to the two girls and glared up at Superboy who was making an ass out of himself.
"I don't believe it!" Miss Martian said out loud as she flew up into the air. Getting a better look at the young boy she reached out to him and gently brushed her hands along his cheek.
Superboy for all his bravado looked back at Miss Martian nervously as his voice cracked a bit, "You can…" he paused to clear his throat and tried to put up his swagger again. "You can fly too, baby?"
Miss Martian drew her hand back and realized the gravity of the situation as she opened her mind to all of her teammates inside the school, "Everyone there's another clone of Super Boy right here!"
While Miss Martian continued her discovery up there Artemis was down on the ground with her weapon still drawn confused about what was going on right now, this was beginning to turn into a rather interesting first day on the job.
"Sorry about my friend up there," Naruto said getting Artemis' attention. "He's kind of a perv but he's mostly just harmless."
"I'm a perv who's totally getting hit on by this beautiful green space Babe!" Superboy shouted up in the air.
Naruto shook his head as he looked back at Artemis, "I like your mask. It's very mysterious."
Artemis looked back at the boy who appeared to be around her own age. He was wearing a long sleeve orange shirt with a black spiral pressed on the front and black pants.
"T…thanks," she said giving him a once over and having a feeling that he wasn't a threat, "cool shirt."
Naruto gleamed as he held it out, "Thank you I designed it myself!"
"That's it?" Superboy's voice rang into the air as Naruto's smile fell into a frown. "That's your pickup line to hit on Babes?"
Naruto raised an angry fist and shouted up at his flying friend, "I'm just trying to be nice I'm not…" he stopped and let out a sigh as he looked back at Artemis. "Can you shoot him I promise it won't actually hurt him, but it might shut him up."
Just then a dark and red blur rushed from the front doors of the high school and stopped right next to Artemis and Naruto. Pulling up his goggles, Kid Flash looked up at the sky and saw the other Superboy in the air looking down at him.
"I don't believe it," rubbing his eyes he looked back up to see that it wasn't an illusion of some sort. "Just how many clones did Cadmus make?"
"I wasn't made by some guy named Cadmus!" Superboy said as he looked at Kid Flash, "I made by this scientist guy called Doctor Thaddeus Sivana."
Kid Flash's eyes widened, "I know that name from Jay's old JSA files that guy's 's supposed to be seriously bad news." Kid then noticed Naruto which made him jump back a bit in even more shock. "I know you too your dad's a supervillain!"
Artemis momentarily lapsed from Kid's words until she realized his words were directed at the blond beside her. Not wanting to set off Kid Flash's already suspicious mind she aimed her bow right at Naruto.
Naruto looked back at Kid angry as he pointed a finger at Kid, "Hey don't talk bad about my dad like you know him…wait who are you?"
"Ah hello, I'm Kid Flash don't you remember me?"
Naruto narrowed his eyes as he looked back at the red-haired speedster, "You're not Kid Flash, Kid Flash dresses like a banana, you're not a banana."
Kid slapped his chest insignia as his stealth-tech costume turned back into its original colors of primarily yellow with some red mixed in.
"Oh yeah it is you," Naruto let out a small laugh as he pointed at Kid and looked at Artemis. "Last time I fought him I kicked his butt."
"So, you're a villain too?" Artemis asked as she steadied her bow at Naruto.
Naruto smiled and replied, "I don't hurt people but I'm not exactly what you'd call a hero either."
"Yeah," Superboy shouted from the air, "where like anti-heroes, it's much sexier the edginess plays better for our demographics!"
"They must be here to take back, Dr. Roquette," Kid Flash accused. "There working for the Shadows!"
"What I'm not working for those guys!" Naruto declared as he folded his arms. "Those guys are weirdos!"
"Yeah," having enough face time with Miss M. Superboy flew back down as the Martian landed next to him. "Those are the guys old Doc S made me for anyway why would I work for a bunch of guys who wouldn't even pay me."
Seeing the looks everyone Naruto included gave Superboy he cleared his throat again and added, "Also because they're like totally evil!"
"If the Shadows are your enemy, they're ours too!" Naruto declared, "We'll help you stop them if they're up to no good."
"Yeah!" Superboy said, "If the two green Babes agree to go out with me!"
Naruto let out an irritated grunt.
"…Fine if they go out with us, there happy now?"
"You're not going out with anyone, except Lady Justice!" As soon as Kid Flash said those words, he immediately regretted it as he looked around at everyone embarrassed. "I swear that sounded better in my head."
"Did it though?" Superboy said right before Kid Flash ran at super speed and tried to punch the younger teen.
Superboy saw the punch coming and did nothing as he folded his arms and waited for it to strike him only to see Kid's fist get caught by an open palm.
Naruto moved just as fast as Kid Flash as he held onto the red-headed speedster's fist. Pushing Kid's hand back the young hero narrowed his eyes at the blond.
"Watch it," Naruto warned. "You don't want to do that; you'll spend the next couple of days nursing a broken hand if you do."
Kid Flash placed his goggles back on as he sized Naruto up, "Alright blondie let's go, you and me it's time to finish what you and your dad started back in Central City!"
Naruto gritted his teeth as an aura of yellow light engulfed his whole body, "I told you before Banana, don't take about my dad!" he then threw a punch at Kid.
The two apparent speedsters traded blows and dodges for a second to everyone else before they both took off around the school's perimeter in a spiral of red and yellow.
"The League of Shadows is here!" Miss Martian and Artemis heard a voice cry out in their heads. "I need backup now!"
Artemis looked back at the Martian girl who looked back at the archer, "We have to help Aqualad!" Miss Martian stated mentally.
"Go I'll watch out for Superboy jr here."
Miss Martian flew into the air and into the school's main doors that Kid Flash left open as she went to go help her team leader leaving Artemis with the other Superboy.
"So," Superboy said floating up in the air to place an arm around Artemis' shoulder. "You ever been to Paris?"
Artemis let out a sigh as she replied, "Why couldn't you have turned out as hunky as your brother?"
