Star City.

Speedy growled in frustration as he noticed the familiar yellow blur run through the gun wielding thieves disarming them and leaving them dazed as the laugh of Robin the Boy Wonder himself filled the air.
Aqualad landed on one of the large boxes using his Water Bearers to knock out two more.
A light blue and black clad twelve year old appeared on another box, her hood of the black waist length, sleeveless custom made spandex jacket with a light blue BB in a circle on the back pulled up, mask on, eyes glowing hand out.
Two goons' eyes turned blue turning to each other punching the other in the face and repeating the action until they both dropped unconscious.
Their leader Brick throws a box at the running Speedy who dodges it letting another arrow fly.
It hit Brick who threw another box that the archer dodged, Aqualad landing beside him his Water Bearer turning into a sword slicing straight through the box.
"The cave is perfect." He told Speedy. "It has everything the Team will need."
Robin landed on the boxes too. "For covert missions!" He told the former sidekick no wait sorry 'partner' of Green Arrow.
"You know spy stuff!" The Boy Wonder stated as Kid Flash sped to a stop in front of them.
"And wait until you see Superboy and Miss Martian…but I saw her first!" He stated and they heard the tiniest of 'thumps' looked up as Blue jumped from a high box to stand beside Kid Flash.
"It really is perfect." She stated.
But they were interrupted by Brick throwing another box, they all scattered again expect for Blue who put her hand up, stopped it and sent it back again Speedy shooting an arrow through it and at Brick exploding just before it hit him.
He continued to let the arrows fly.
Brick chuckled. "Tell Arrow he shouldn't send boys to do a mans job!" He laughed.
"Well that's just insulting." Blue stated from her place behind a box now. "I'm a girl!" She shouted making a bunch of boxes fall on top of Brick.
Speedy shot one final arrow encasing the smuggler in a high-density polyurethane foam restraining him.
"Nice!" Kid Flash stated nodding his approval.
The archer turned and walked past the other members of the team.
"So Speedy you in?"
"Pass. I'm done letting Arrow and the League tell me what to do! I don't need a babysitter to watch me hang out in a clubhouse with the other kids. Your Junior Justice League is a joke! Something to keep you occupied and in your place!" He snapped and heard Blue land behind him.
"This team was formed because we went against direct orders and investigated Project Cadmus nearly getting ourselves killed by the way and afterwards when they wanted to separate we wouldn't so they formed the Team with Miss Martian as well as Superboy…..we're not kids. We're heroes." She told him.
He scoffed. "Whatever…I don't want any part of it."
And he left them alone on the docks.
Mount Justice.
July 18, 11:16.
"Recognised, Robin P: 01, Kid Flash P: 03."
The two heroes ran up towards their teammates. "Have you asked him?"
"What did he say?"
"He's arriving now." Aqualad informed them smiling.
"What are we waiting for?" Kid Flash asked as he….rushed off the rest following him.
They met him outside Kid Flash waving up at him. "Red Tornado!"
"Greetings. Is there a reason you intercept me outside the cave?"
"We hoped you had a mission for us." Aqualad explained.
"Mission assignments are Batman's responsibility."
"It's been over a week and nothing…"
"You will be tested soon enough." Red Tornado interrupted. "For the time being simply enjoy each others company."
"This team is not a social club." Aqualad stated.
"No. But I am told social interaction is an important team building exercise."
"Stop listening to Bleu Illusion he sucks when it comes to kids I can vouch for that." Blue told him.
"Perhaps." He continued like she hadn't spoken. "You can keep busy by familiarising yourselves with the Cave."
"Keep busy? Does he think we're falling for this?" Kid Flash complained.
"Oh I'll find out!" Miss Martian stated turning to where Red Tornado had just gone eyes narrowing then she shook her head. "Sorry I forgot he's a machine. In organic I cannot read his mind."
"Nice try though!" Kid Flash stated. "So uh…you know what I'm thinking right now?"
"We all know what you're thinking now." Robin hit him.
"Ow." The Fastest Boy alive muttered.
"Ew! Twelve year old over here!" The girl shook her head in disgust.
"…And now we tour the clubhouse…." Aqualad sighed.
"Well Superboy and I live here…."
"Hey!" Blue stated fake outraged. "I stay five nights a week!" The girl said folding her arms.
"….uh sorry Bleubell…"
"Don't all I know is the way to my room, he living room and the kitchen. I've got my own bathroom it's pretty awesome."
Miss Martian smiled. "Anyway we can play tour guides!"
They all looked at Superboy.
"Don't look at me." He said.
"We won't!" Kid Flash told him. "A private tour sounds much more fun."
"She never said private!" Robin told him hitting the back of his head.
"Wow…I'm twelve and I know how bad he is at flirting." Blue said to Aqualad face-palming.
"Uh huh….Team building…we'll all go."
And it began.
"So….this would be our front door…."
And it continued like that until they came out the other side looking over the ocean. "And this would be the back. The cave is actually the entire mountain!"
"…It was hollowed out by Green Lantern and Superman during the early days of the League." Kid Flash explained.
"Then why abandon it for the Hall of Justice?" Superboy asked.
"The cave's secret location was…compromised." Aqualad explained.
"So they traded it in for a tourist trap?" Superboy frowned. "Yeah that makes sense."
"If villains know about the cave….we must be on constant alert…" Miss Martian frowned.
"The bad guys know, we know, they know about the place. So they'd never think to look here." Robin promised her.
"We're hiding in plain sight." Blue told her and she nodded.
"Ah…that's much clearer."
"I smell smoke." Superboy frowned.
"Uh! My cookies!" And the Martian flew off.
"Wait cookies?" Blue's ears picked up causing Superboy and Aqualad to look down at the girl.
"What? I'm twelve!" She told them as they started walking toward the kitchen.
Yeah the cookies were burnt beyond repair.
"I was trying a new recipe from episode seventeen of….uh...never mind."
"I bet they'd have tasted great!" Robin promised. "He doesn't seem to mind!" He pointed at Kid Flash who was eating the burnt cookies!
"I have a serious metabolism." The red head shrugged.
"I'll….make more?"
"It was sweet of you to make any."
"Thanks Aqualad."
"We're off duty call me Kaldur'ahm….actually my friends call me Kaldur." Aqualad told her.
"I'm Wally!" Kid Flash told her. "See I already trust you with my secret identity unlike Mr dark glasses over here. Batman had forbidden Boy Wonder from telling anyone his real name."
Robin scowled.
"Mine's no secret! It's M'gann M'orzz…but you can call me Megan…it's uh my earth name!"
Superboy started to walk away but turned around shouting "GET OUT OF MY HEAD!"
They all looked at M'gann who frowned as her voice entered their heads.
"What's wrong I don't understand everyone on Mars communicates telepathically."
"M'gann stop!" Aqualad ordered her. "Things are different on earth here your powers are an extreme invasion of privacy."
"Besides Cadmus' little psychic G-Gnomes left a bad taste in his brain." Wally said pointing at Superboy.
"I…uh didn't mean to…"
"Just stay out!" Superboy growled and stormed out of the kitchen.
Everything went silent for a second until M'gann hit her head and smiled "Hello M'gann I know what we can do!"
They all followed her passing Superboy, M'gann hung back for a moment asking him to come with but he shut her out before giving in and following her.
"By the way." Blue said in the elevator and everyone turned to look at her but she was looking at Superboy.
"You're not alone. I never knew my real name so just call me Blue….."
"Blue? Really?" Wally's mouth twitched like he was trying not to smile.
"Bleubell is the only name I've ever known! Makes sense to just call me Blue when I'm off duty….anything else just…wouldn't suit me….sorry…." She muttered looking down but Kaldur put a hand on the youngest of their team's shoulder.
"Nothing to be sorry about."
And the elevator doors opened.
"It's my Martian bio-ship!"
It looked like a giant red and black egg.
"Cute…not aero dynamic but cute!" Wally told her.
"It's at rest silly I'll wake it!"
She'll…what?
Oh okay…not it looks like a spaceship.
"Well are you coming?" Miss Martian asked and the group walked forward somewhat reluctantly.
"Strap in for launch!"
They did taking seats in various places of the cock-pit.
"Awesome."
The doors opened and they took off.
While Robin teased Wally about how he couldn't flirt for shit and Kaldur was governing Superboy on how to apologize Blue did what most teen (or at least pre-teen) girls do when on a long drive or ride somewhere.
She plugged in her iPod.
Yay for music!
Until of course Wally fit her gently on the back "Yo, we got a mission! Take out the earphones."
She did.
"We should find out what caused the alert." M'gann was saying.
"I think I know what caused it…." Superboy stated as a mini tornado was wrecking through the car park of the power plant and straight at them until they were caught in it for a few minutes but M'gann got them out and….uh parked? The Bio-ship.
"Robin are tornado's common in New England?" Kaldur asked.
"Robin!"
"But he was just here!" M'gann frowned.
"And I think I know where he went." Blue stated pointing at the Power Plant.
Entering they saw Robin fall to the floor after being thrown into the stone wall.
"Who's your new friend?" Superboy asked.
"Never got his name but he likes to play rough."
"My apologies you may address me as Mister Twister."
"I'm pretty sure that's a candy bar." Blue stated shrugging.
But to give Mr Candy his due his tornado did knock out Superboy.
Or at least take him out for a period of time.
Aqualad looked at M'gann then at Blue as Wally placed his goggled on taking them out of his back pocket.
Uh…did he carry them around with him?
Dude really?
Anyway Wally sped into action M'gann flying in behind Blue just jumping out of the way of gusts of wind aimed at the five foot two twelve year old.
I don't think she's ever gone so many flips in one fight….
But one false move had her slammed against the wall like the rest of the team (minus Robin.)
"I was prepared to be challenged by a superhero I was not however prepared to be fighting children."
"We're not children!" Robin shouted throwing an explosive to an avail.
"Have you no adult supervision….you're quite disturbing."
"Well we hate to see you disturbed! Let's see if you're more 'turbed' once we kick your can!"
Blue still weak but conscious forced a door above Mr Candy to open forcing him to be covered in brown stuff followed by steam and when that cleared Superboy made his move.
Yeah that failed too…
Blue picked herself up off the ground and rolled her shoulder as it left but waiting they're missing…
"Wally!" She yelped and hopped over the railing running out the door after Mister Twister.
"Bleubell! Stop…." Robin shouted but the youngest never looked back.
"She doesn't wait does she?" He asked.
"You can't really say anything." Superboy said as they followed her.
Wally zoomed out in front of Mister Twister.
"What did you do to my team?" He asked angrily.
"Embarrassed them." It stated throwing Wally back inside a tornado to be saved by M'gann.
Blue let out a low whistle finally showing herself up standing on a branch in the trees before dropping down in front of Superboy.
"You okay?"
"Never touched me." She replied. "It was too busy messing with Wally I never even got to….well do anything really."
"What do you want?" Kaldur shouted.
"Isn't it obvious? I'm waiting for a real hero!"
"Read his mind. Find a weakness!" Kaldur ordered M'gann.
"I….thought I wasn't supposed to do that!"
"It's okay as long as it's a villain." Blue said to her. "Trust me….I know what I'm talking about."
M'gann tried and couldn't. "Uh! Hello Megan! It's Red Tornado in disguise! I can't read anything! He's inorganic! And how many androids do you know that can make tornadoes!"
"Red Tornado sent us here…." Kaldur began.
"…After saying we'd be tested soon enough." Robin began.
"This is his test….something to keep us busy."
"Speedy called it we're a joke. This game? Is so over!"
Blue frowned and looked up at 'Mister Twister' who stared back as the boys shouted at him to 'end this' at the android began to conjure up a storm.
"No….." She whispered. "This…..No!" Just as a massive bomb came at them shoving all but Superboy back.
The clone leapt up into the air but was struck by lightning crashing onto the ground.
Suddenly they found themselves shrouded and the android oh so kindly letting them live….
What a nice guy right?
Oh yeah and if they tried to fight him again he'd show no mercy before he flew away.
"What happened?" Wally asked.
"I…placed the Bio-hip between us…."
And then Superboy went ape.
Again. "And that's supposed to make it right? You tricked us into believing it was Red Tornado!"
Kaldur opened his mouth but it was Blue who beat him to it standing in front of M'gann glaring up at the clone.
"Everyone's powers come with problems and everyone makes a mistake. This is what you're second fight maybe…I don't know? Who are you to judge a mistake? You maybe 'Super'-boy but you're still capable of making a mistake! You're not perfect. You're temperamental, impatient and half the time you're just a straight up asshole!" She barked at him causing all the boys eyebrows go up and Superboy to clench his fists. "It was a mistake made by a rooky…and she's inexperienced sure but…that doesn't give you a right to act like you aren't capable of doing something stupid. Before you question somebody else's abilities. Take a look at your own." The girl told him before running off in the direction Mister Twister came from.
Blue hopped from tree to tree before entering Happy Harbour where tornadoes raged through the town.
A car came at her but one flash of blue through her eyes and it dropped harmlessly in front of her. Blue was pissed.
And she wasn't going to be taken lightly.
A tornado came rushing at her and in her pissed off state her hand cut through it her eyes turning blue and staying like that.
"I told you not…"
"To come after you. But here's a thing about me. I don't take orders…" Two street lights blew. "From anybody." She told him.
"You are a distraction I can no longer tolerate…"
"Duck." She told him quickly before dropping down as Superboy leapt over her and landed a punch on him before it backed away and took to the skies via tornado.
She stood up calmly as the rest of the boys arrived.
As they fought M'gann's voice rang out through their heads with Superboy getting angry…again but M'gann wasn't having any of it.
"I know I messed up but now I am very clear on what we need to do! Trust me!" She said. It wasn't a question it was a statement an order even.
"What you need M'gann?" Blue answered… "You can hear me right."
"I can hear you Blue now all of you listen…"
Minutes later Red Tornado flew into the battlefield. "Hit the showers all of you. I thought you could handle this but I guess you cannot."
"But we have a plan now!" Robin protested.
"I said go!"
So the two wind androids began a battle that ended with Red Tornado on the ground with Mr Candy aka Mister Twister attaching some wires to his head and promising him the 'reprogramming won't take long…'
The robotic hand of 'Red Tornado' reached up and ripped the wires off his head morphing into M'gann's. "Longer then you might think." She told him sweetly.
"No…." It stumbled back into a tornado which was really Kid Flash spinning around…and around…and around….
When it was free it 'fell' into another one which was courtesy of the Mini Manipulator Blue.
"I'm not one for dramatics when it comes to my abilities. I usually go straight for the heart. Or main frame. Whichever works." The girl stated smirking as her twister died and the android stumbled out of it, into an angry Superboy who repeatedly punched it over and over and over…even creating a hole through the thing's chest before shoving it straight into the ocean.
Of course that's where Kaldur would come in copping off an arm and sending it up onto the grass where M'gann would take off using her ability to get the other arm off…
And finally the Boy Wonder would throw his explosives…
The chest of Mister Twister would open and a 'man' came out stumbling.
M'gann frowned and looked at Blue who nodded agreeing with her.
Something wasn't right about this guy.
The pilot flew out of Mister Twister where M'gann would crush him with Kaldur screaming no M'gann.
"I don't know how things are done on Mars but on earth we don't execute our captives!" Robin shouted.
"You said you trusted me…Blue could you?"
Blue lifted the stone up and there it was….the mangled body of android.
Weird huh? A robot piloted by a robot.
"That's why I couldn't read his mind." M'gann stated.
Wally picked up one of the 'eyeballs' of the things and stated. "Cool souvenir."
"Dude what?" Blue shook her head.
"We should have had more faith in you." Kaldur smiled.
"Yeah! You rocked this mission! Get it rocked?"
"Ignore him." Robin told her.
"I'm really glad you're on this team." The Boy Wonder continued.
"Me two." M'gann smiled.
"Me three!" Blue stated hugging her gently. "I'd kill someone if it was just me and them! So thank you god you're here!"
The Martian chuckled. "Anytime Blue."
-THE CAVE-
"Hey Blue?" Kaldur stated and the youngest looked up at him.
"Uh huh?" She asked frowning closing the book she'd been reading.
"Earlier you and Superboy…the way you stood up for M'gann."
"It was actually rather selfish really. I wanted Superboy to realise just because he's big…just because he's strong….it doesn't mean he's the boss of her, of us of….me. I spent a part of my life in Bleu Illusion's shadow and while I love him like a father I won't be talked down to again." She stood up. "And I mean it."
-LATER THAT NIGHT-
They looked over the remains of the robot. "It was clearly made to sabotage or destroy you." Kaldur stated and the robot agreed.
"Is that why you wouldn't help us?" M'gann asked.
"No. this was your battle I do not believe that it is my role to solve your problems for you nor should you solve mine for me." Red Tornado stated.
"But if you're in danger?" M'gann frowned.
"Consider this matter closed." He told her firmly before turning to leave.
"Batman, Aquaman and Flash would have jumped right in to fix things."
"Bleu Illusion would have seen how long I'd have lasted then jumped in." Blue stated. "He's the tough love type." She explained.
"Guess if we're going to have a baby sitter a heartless machine is exactly what we need."
"Dude harsh!" Wally told the Boy Wonder.
"And incorrect I have a heart carbon steel alloy, and excellent hearing." Red Tornado warned him.
"Uh….right sorry."
"You gotta be more respectful." Kaldur shook his head.
"Speedy was so wrong!" Wally grinned "This team thing…"
"Might just work out." Kaldur agreed.
"So anyone for Chinese takeout?" Blue asked.
"Sure…"
"Yeah…"
"I'm in."
Okay maybe they could survive as a team.
Thanks for reading PLEASE REVIEW!
