A/N: I'm sick and procrastinating on my homework, so I'm posting chapter 6! Yay! Unfortunately, I'm running out of chapters to post, so I've got to kick it into gear before you'll see chapter 7 :/ Unless, of course, you guys review like, a lot...hint hint...

We all turned in time to see a tornado flying at us, right before we were swept up in it. We were all jostled around, and I clutched my seat in an effort to keep myself from flying into the control panel in front of me. I could practically feel my brain being jostled inside my skull. Suddenly, the bioship was whipped out of the tornado and Megan steadied it, landing in the parking lot.

We all jumped out of the bottom and looked around. Robin was already running for the plant, and I followed behind him. Inside the factory was a giant robot-like figure. His body was red with a black stripe running down his chest, and he had blue tubes sticking out of his back along with a scarf that covered his mouth. Stylish, I thought dryly as I caught up to the younger boy. Robin launched himself at the stranger, and he formed a tornado, blowing him back into me with enough force to send us crashing to the floor.

Superboy landed beside us. "Who's your new friend?"

"Didn't catch his name," Robin began as the clone jumped away. "But he plays kinda rough!"

"My apologies," the robot-man said. "You may address me as Mr. Twister."

"Really?" I asked dryly, raising an eyebrow at him as I jumped to my feet. "Mr. Twister was what you came up with?" He spun two tornadoes that knocked us all off our feet again, but Superboy bowed his head and moved forward. I stood again, just in time to see him fly past me and hit the wall, leaving a dent.

Grumbling under my breath, I charged at Mr. Twister, doing a hand spring to avoid a tornado, and kicked him in the chest. There was a clink, and I looked at him surprised. He didn't even move! Twister chuckled and grabbed my ankle, swinging me into Superboy, who had just gotten up. Kaldur and Megan flew backwards, too, and they lay still while Twister continued to trash talk us.

"I was prepared to be challenged by a superhero," he chuckled. "I was not, however, expecting children."

"We're not children!" Robin shouted, throwing two discs at him. One was deflected by a tornado and the other lodged itself into Twister's chest with little effect. He flicked it away.

"Objectively, you are." I pushed myself to my feet and jogged towards Robin. "Have you no adult supervision? I find your presence here quite...disturbing."

"That's not the only thing that's disturbing, you ugly hunk of junk!" I called, scowling as the others assembled behind us.

"Well, hate to see you disturbed," Robin shouted. "Let's see if you're more turbed when we kick your can!"

I groaned. "Rob, I am so buying you a dictionary once this is over."

Megan threw up her hands, and used them to burst a pipe above Twister, spraying some sort of gas-like substance in his face and blinding him for a moment. Superboy jumped up and was about to bash his face in when the robot-like man created two tornadoes and shot him back. Megan flew forward, only to be hit by Superboy, and they both went tumbling. Robin and Kaldur ran at Twister from the front while I snuck up behind. They were both swept up by tornadoes as I released my sonic scream. He whirled around and threw a tornado at me, which I attempted to dodge, only to be sucked up and flung at the wall.

"Indeed," Mr. Twister remarked, turning around. "It was quite turbing, thank you."

He flew out of the plant, and we all followed him, just in time to see KF get stuck in a huge tornado. Megan lifted a hand and when the tornado cleared, he was floating in the air. "I got you Wally!" she called, dropping him.

"Thanks."

"I would've thought you all would've learned your limitations by now," Twister commented lightly.

Kaldur stepped forward. "What do you want?'"

"Isn't it obvious?" he chuckled, flying high up in the air and looking down at all of us. "I'm waiting for a real hero."

"Read his mind. Find a weakness," Kaldur ordered to Megan.

"But I thought you said I wasn't supposed to do that!"

"It's okay with the bad guys!" Robin exclaimed exasperatedly, waving his arms.

She paused, putting a hand to her head. "What? I've got nothing." She gasped, hitting her forehead. "Hello Megan! Mr. Twister is Red Tornado in disguise!"

Somehow, that didn't seem right to me. I'm pretty sure Tornado wouldn't be that cruel to us, even if he was supposed to be acting. Something told me he wasn't a very good actor either, just saying. "Are you sure?" I asked.

"Of course! He's inorganic – an android. And how many androids to you know that can generate tornadoes?"

"Red Tornado sent us here," Aqualad realized, angrily.

"After saying we would be tested soon enough," Robin added. "This is his test! Something to keep us busy."

"Speedy called it," Wally sighed, and I winced. "We are a joke." Kaldur made an indignant noise, punching his hand, and stalked off towards the android. We all followed, the others looking bitter. I, however, was still skeptical.

"Guys, are you sure about this?" I asked again. "There's a possibility this isn't Tornado we're dealing with."

"You heard Megan, Tess," Robin stated. "He's obviously Tornado in disguise." I wasn't convinced, but kept my mouth shut as he called out to Mr. Twister – I mean, Red Tornado. "We know who you are, and what you want!"

"So let's end this," Kaldur said.

I'm sure if the scarf wasn't covering Twister's mouth, we would see him smirking down at us as he created a giant storm formed behind him. "Consider it ended." A dark vortex swirled over his head. I gasped, taking a few steps back. That was so not Tornado.

"An impressive show," Kaldur continued. "But we will not indulge you. We will not engage!" Lighting cracked and hit the ground in front of us, creating a scorched mark in the grass.

"Uh...can Red Tornado do that?" Wally shouted.

"I don't think so, Wally," I said, backing up from the force of the wind.

"You think I'm Tornado? Ironic." More lighting flashed, this time at least three bolts at the same time, and created an explosion that sent us all flying back. I groaned, closing my eyes and laying my face against the grass. This was so not how I wanted to spend my Saturday.

I heard Superboy's yell and felt the earth shake as he was sent flying into the ground and created a trench in his wake. Twister advanced on us, lightning crackling all over his body, when Megan slowly woke up and gasped, waving her hand. I faintly heard the noise of the bioship flying over us, and I knew that we were hidden by it's camouflage mode. The android paused. "Fine then. I wont deny you children have power." Wally made a noise, and I clamped a hand over his mouth warningly. "But playing hide and seek with you will not help me achieve my objectives." And those were...? "So stay concealed. If you confront me again, I will show. no. mercy." He flew off, and I breathed a sigh of relief, removing my hand from Kid's mouth.

"What happened?" he asked as we the others began to rise.

"I placed the bioship between us."

Superboy growled and punched the mound of dirt next to him that was stirred up from his fall. "And that's supposed to make it right?" he asked angrily, walking towards us. "You tricked us into thinking Twister was Red Tornado."

"She didn't do it on purpose!" I defended immediately, glaring him down. "She didn't know any better."

"It was a rookie mistake," Robin added. "We shouldn't have listened."

"You are pretty inexperienced," Wally said to Megan, hands in his pockets awkwardly. He sighed. "Hit the showers, we'll take it from here."

"Stay out of our way," Superboy glared, stalking past us and broke into a run in the direction Twister flew off – Happy Harbor. Kid and Robin spared her one last look before doing the same.

"I was just trying to be a part of the team," Megan muttered sadly, looking down. I placed a hand on her shoulder.

"To be honest, I'm not sure we really have a team," Kaldur sighed, before walking off. I looked at Megan, biting my lip.

"I can stay if you want," I suggested, even though that was the last thing I wanted to do. But, we were friends, and that's what friends do, I suppose. The team was being harsh towards her and she didn't deserve it. From what I gathered, she had only been a hero since she arrived at the Cave after we busted Cadmus, and it was hardly fair to judge her for it.

"No," she smiled softly. "You go, I'll be okay."

"You sure?" I tried not to let my relief show. She nodded. "Alright then." I gave her one last look before sprinting to catch up to Aqualad.

We caught up to the others eventually at the scene where Twister was wreaking havoc. He was making tornadoes with ease, sweeping up boats from the docks and flinging them around, destroying houses and businesses without a second thought. "Surely this will get the attention I desire."

"You got ours!" Kid shouted, running at him. "Full and undivided!" He sped up and aimed a kick at his chest, making the android stumble slightly.

"Okay, what's the plan?" I whispered to Robin.

"Go at him, guns blazing," he shrugged, standing up to charge at him with Aqualad. I rolled my eyes.

"Genius."

Kaldur dodged a tornado, only to be picked up by another and flung into a rather expensive looking house far away from where we were standing. KF ran at him again at the same time I did, the tornado missing him, but I wasn't so fortunate. My back slammed into something, and I heard a groan behind me. "Sorry," I winced, pulling away from Aqualad, who had just stood up from the debris before I was thrown into him.

"It is fine," he replied.

I looked up just in time to see Superboy land in front of us, and a large mass sailing right behind him. "That's a boat! That's a boat!" I shouted, diving out of the way. The boat landed right where the two of us were just standing, and as soon as we tumbled to a stop, the large building collapsed. The motor of the boat landed right in front of us, and Aqualad picked it up, running at Twister with it in his hands.

Damn that boy's strong.

It wasn't enough, though. And Twister simply swatted him away like a fly. I stood my ground in front of the android and let out a wail that would hopefully short his system. It looked like it was working for a moment, until I faltered as a voice reverberated throughout my skull.

'Listen to me.' It was M'gann.

'All of you.' A tornado swept me up and, within seconds, I was submerged in the murky water of the bay. Every single cut and scrape on my body screamed in pain as the salt water seeped into them, and my head was pounding from the sudden landing and the foreign being within my thoughts.

It hurt like hell to move, but I had to. I managed to resurface to see that the others were experiencing the same effect on their minds as I was. Superboy looked absolutely furious, and must've said something mean again to elicit Megan's next response.

'I know! And I know I messed up, but I'm very clear on what we need to do. Please, trust me.' Her voice sounded so sure, so confident in what she knew, that I couldn't possibly say no.

'Give us what you got, Miss M,' I answered in my head, climbing up onto the dock and spitting out some water. I was up for anything, as long as it didn't involve me going back in that accursed bay. 'Anything you have is most likely a better plan than what we've got going here.'

'Thanks, Tess. Okay, here's what we need to do...'

The four of us had gathered together to fight against Twister, each of us ready to fight, when suddenly we were interrupted by 'Red Tornado' flying in front of us. "Hit the showers, team. I was hoping you could handle this. Clearly, you cannot," he remarked in his robotic voice.

"But we've got a plan now!" Robin protested.

I stepped up next to him and tried to tug on Tornado's cold arm."We are perfectly capable of doing this on our own, Tornado!"

"This is not up for debate."

We all stared at each other, dejectedly, and walked off, leaving the two androids to duke it out. As soon as we were out of their line of sight, Wally and I hid behind a few crates to wait for the perfect opportunity, with Superboy and Robin not too far away. Aqualad ran forward and dove into the bay, waiting where I had landed previously.

'Red Tornado' was knocked down for the second time, and he simply laid there as Mr. Twister came forward and towered over him. "Remain still, android," I heard the villain growl as cords began to extend from his fingertips. "The reprogramming wont take long."

'Torando' turned his head over and gripped the cords, his face suddenly morphing into Miss Martian's. She smiled. "Longer than you might think."

"That's your que," I muttered to KF, who nodded and began to spin a tornado, whirling towards the pair. I followed suit, pulling out a grappling hook from my belt. Twister was caught up in KF's tornado once Megan blew him back with her telepathy, and I shot the line around his legs, locking them into place as he flew backwards towards Superboy. The clone began to punch holes in his chest, and succeeded in knocking him back into the bay, where Aqualad was waiting.

We waited with bated breath, and it only took seconds for Twister to sail above the surface, missing an arm and radiating electricity like lighting bolts. M'gann flew up, and in one quick motion, pulled his remaining arm off. Robin threw his disks, which exploded on impact as they hit Twister's body. Horribly defeated, the unconscious android dropped to his knees before all of us.

Suddenly, his chest cavity opened up, revealing a frail looking man with graying hair, who strongly resembled a monkey. "F-foul, I call foul," the man pleaded, looking up at us from the pavement, where he had fallen. That's weird, I thought, stepping closer. There was a human inside, yet M'gann couldn't read his mind.

"Megan, no!" Kaldur shouted, and I was knocked out of my thoughts as a slab of concrete slammed to the ground in front of me, right on top of the man. My mouth dropped open. Did she just...kill this man? I don't understand...

"Don't know how things are done on Mars," Robin began angrily. "But on Earth, we don't execute our captives!"

Megan smiled amicably at all of our horrified looks, and remarked teasingly, "You said you trust me." She raised a hand, and removed the bolder, revealing the shattered remains of the man...robot? "That's why I couldn't read his mind."

"A robot...inside another robot?" I mused, still very shocked and confused about this whole thing, like most of my teammates appeared to be, except for Megan – who knew all along – and Wally – who had just picked up the robot man's eye and called it a souvenir, ignoring most of the conversation.

"We should've trusted you," Aqualad offered, placing a comforting hand on her shoulder.

"Yeah," KF interjected. "You really rocked this mission. Geddit? Rocked? Heh heh."

I groaned. "Dude, shut up."

"Ignore him," Robin muttered to Megan as we began to walk away from the still-chuckling Wally. "We're all just turbed you're on the team."

"Heh, thanks, me too."

Yeah, this whole team thing, will most definitely work out.
