Animeman; You never get back on me about who you thought it was. Well then, lets see if you were correct...there is a hint
Anyone else notice how there seems to be a great slowdown in updates, and reviews, last week? I sure did...
Oh yes, and to continue on my comment about how Miss Martian accidentally in the comics got her older, Justice Lord, self stuck in her head in the comics and had 'problems...', as a possible Mole thing, there is also Superboy. His comic self had a sleeper program activated by Lex to make him an unwilling traitor...you know if Superboy is a close of Superman and Luthor...whose the mom?
Also, do not expect Gear...with Hardware you already have at least one Tech hero in Dakota.
Anyway, I'm going to be rather busy for the next couple of weeks, so expect spotchy updates.
Mount Justice; 7:00 EST
The morning had barely begun, when the heroes of tomorrow (They still have no name), were called up for another mission, this one from another of the new heroes in the Justice League proper.
"Recognized, Icon, One, Seven" it was a Saturday, and a fresh mission was at hand as the tall, imposing, 'Black Superman' arrived.
"Icon...its been a while" Rocket grinned as the man rose an eyebrow.
"Rocket...its been quiet" he said with a stiff tone, though robin, who grew up with the king of stiffs, could still see amusement, that he generally liked Rocket.
Perhaps not during election day, but all the other days were tolerable.
"So, you have an assignment?" Aqualad asked the powerful looking African American Alien...its complicated.
"Yes...myself and Hardware, along with several members of the Justice League," aka, any who could work in space "will be aiding the Green Lantern corp deflect a meteor shower from destroying a small planet . So, over the weekend, you are to help fill in for my young friend, Static...he has a major science project he has to finish and I promised that I'd send him some substitutes"
They all gave him incredulous looks
"You want us to be some sort of substitute heroes!"
Icon frowned "I do have word that one of the Justice Leagues needs some help waxing..."
Kid Flash jumped up "I VOLUNTEER!"
SLAP
"OW!"
"The Batmobile...and thank you for your enthusiasm" Icon chuckled to himself as Kid Flash looked dejected (He must have thought that he meant Power Girl, Wonder Woman, Black Canary or Hawkwoman)
"You do know, he's kidding" Rocket told the dejected speedster.
Dakota; 7:30 AM CST
The hero Static was tapping his foot, impatient as the new Zeta Beam receptor that Hardware had installed in the Abandoned Gas Station of Solitude, his somewhat cleaned HQ, activated.
"Recognized, Robin B1, Aqualad B2, Kid Flash B3, Superboy B4, Miss Martian B5, Artemis B7, Zatanna Zatarra B8, , Terra B9, Rocket B10" the team of teen heroes warped in.
"Hey Rocket! Didn't realize you knew any celebrities!" he greeted his friend as she smirked. He was a fan of the work of guys like Robin and Kid Flash, teen super heroes.
"I do from time to time...job's open ya know?" She grinned. It would be nice to have him on the team too, they worked together from time to time.
Dakota was a busy place filled with crime after all.
Static chuckled "Yeah, well I'm too busy as it is. Pops is a bit too smart to use...whatever tricks it is you guys use?" he noted the young heroes "Its an honor to be asked, but I have no idea how I'd be able to handle more workload on my life. Anyway, I'm just glad Icon sent some help. If I don't get that project of Light done by Monday...my Science's grades a goner"
"Ah, Light...created by fire, a pierced of air and water, at least as far as it can, yet unable to hurt earth" Wally noted with a grin, as they gave him odd looks.
"What, I can be smart when I want to"
Well, aside for Static
"That was deep...um can I use that in my project as an opening statement"
"Sure"
Static activated his fly disk and flew away, as the group frowned.
"So...we get to do his job for the weekend?" Wally frowned with a communicative sigh from the group.
"Would you rather wax the Batmobile and get whelmed?" Robin frowned.
"Besides, its not like something's going to happen anytime soon" Terra
Rocket sighed "Three...two...one..."
BOOM!
They sighed "Terra...never, say, that"
BOOM!
BOOM!
BOOM!
Terra blushed "I jinxed it, didn't I?"
BOOM!
"YES!"
Dakota Video Store
Patrons were running away in panic as Control Freak, the red haired couch potato of disgusting attributes, was having various animated items, such as candy, shoes and other random objects, destroy work out videos.
"Really chubby?" he turned around to see Artemis, bow drawn, having him targeted. "Just because you can't get in shape doesn't mean other people can't"
"Hmm...not work my time to know. I, Control Freak, the most powerful villain alive, seek to destroy all forms of physical fitness, and make the nation obese...er...so that all will have my looks, and I will get ladies!"
"You disgust me" she fired an arrow at him that burst into a net, which toppled him over from his giant levitating chair, as he dropped his remote to the ground.
"MY REMOTE!"
Kid Flash then sped in "SOUVENIR!"
Artemis turned around to glare at him "HEY, MY GUY!"
"Well, I just had armed bank robbers! You got the interesting guy"
"WELL BACK OFF! I GET TO CAPTURE HIM..."
"You know, my remote does have a mute button" Control freak grumbled.
"PRESS MUTE AND I WILL GLUE YOU INTO A MONKEY SUIT AND TOSS YOU AT SUPERBOY!"
"Um...never mind"
In a local park
"NO JUVENILE FACILITY CAN HOLD ME!" A freed Hotstreak yelled as he set anything he could in the area around him on fire...as a whistle was sent his way.
He turned, to spy Terra, who was making subtle flirtious gestures, with the sort of color distortion around her that anime females have during show off scenes.
Hotstreak had a wide grin as he noticed her. Whistling cat like, he approached Terra with the look that only teenage guys had on girls...or parts of girls anyway.
"Why, aren't you hot...and I know hot"
Terra smirked "Yeah, but guess what..." she flicked her fingers as the earth shook below Hotstreak, knocking him over onto the ground as binds of rock rose up to bind his hands and feet, in particular to cut off air, and thus fire, from them.
Aqualad, who had been using water to put out Hotstreak's fires while he was distracted , had also used water to refract the light around Terra, as part of the catch Hotstreak gesture.
Terra chuckled "Why do you think Power Girl doesn't wear a mask. No one ever looks high enough for it to be a problem. Its also a good way to distract the foe"
A being robbed Jewelry store
"All your little toys" Ebon noted with a grin as his shadows plucked away gem after gem, out of the reach of Robin's static generating fields "Are useless"
"I am the shadows themselves, you can't hurt me..."
Robin flew a flash bomb at the next target...which the shadows of Ebon grabbed and sent out somewhere else...
Meanwhile, in a far away bizarre, the shopping center, the light exploded, causing a nearby donkey to freak out, buck, and kick a stall of cabbages to the curb, the harvested vegetable spilling out randomly (MY CABBAGES!)
"Swodahs yfidilos!" a magic spell from Zatanna kicked in, as Ebon found himself taking a solid form against his will...
"WHAT TRICKERY IS THIS..."
POW
Robin smacked him to the ground with a drop kick.
"Well, that's one more villain whelmed" Zatanna quipped as she and Robin laughed.
Museum
A man in a yellow and black villain suit with sever shooting target like symbols of him punched Superboy dead on as he flew into a nearby car, crushing it as he similarly pounded back Miss Martian.
"Oh come on, get out of the way. I have some ancient artifacts to steal!" he said with a slightly off end, even if he was perfectly sane.
"Sure you do Bulletproof" Rocket laughed a humorless tone as she blasted a purple inerita attack at him, which sent him flying into a nearby building. Unharmed, however, he scoffed.
"Oh come on, you hit like a bunch of girls! The Superboy's the only challenge"
What happened next was so horrifying, even Superboy had to look away, as the poor idiot got punched with so much power, that he flew a few city blocks...
Farther...
Farther...
Who knew those two could hit that hard?
Meanwhile, somewhere in the south 8;17 CST
"HELP ME! I WANT MY MOMMY! GET ME DOWN!" Bulletproof wailed as he continued to soar through the air...and did land
But in Belle Reeve
"YAY! I'M SAFE FROM THOSE SHE DEVILS!"
Unfortunately, he landed in the woman's side
"AHHHHHHH! DON'T HURT ME!"
Dakota; Same time
Meanwhile, from the top of a parking garage, a man in a blue vest and white cowboy hat, with a bandana as a mask, was observing the fighting with a pair of binoculars, and cursed.
"Damn, they sent the wrong people...this is no place for them. Its too dangerous"
What's so dangerous? Find out, next time!
Okay, the guy whose on the Motorcycle is your guess for now, but lets introduce Bulletproof a bit more and talk about his history.
A interesting but none the less unremarkable Milestone rouge who has yet to appear in a DC media format, Bulletproof is a bang baby with superhuman strength and durability. However, he is mortally afraid of Rocket, at least in the comics (He called her fat when she was pregnant...long story short he flew for the first and last time until Static caught him and he literally begged to go to jail, quickly) Hence his fate here.
I guess what they say about Pregnant woman is true, they are vicious. Perhaps thats why Wonder Woman and Power Girl don't have any kids..for safety reasons.
I would not want to see them having mood swings...I figure that would be unpleasant
