Still not owning anything!
Mount Justice.
August 6, 13:06
The team (minus Superboy) stood around a holograph air hockey table as Kaldur was unable to block a shot from Blue.
"You've got to be kidding me!" He muttered.
"Dude you just got served!" Wally laughed.
"Recognised Superboy, P: 04."
The clone stormed in.
"Hi…Superboy how was Metropolis?" M'gann tried to ask but…
Yeah Mr 'I need Anger-Management' just stormed past them.
"Ready for training everyone?" A female voice asked them.
"Black Canary! Uncle J'onn!" M'gann grinned running up to embrace her uncle.
"M'gann! I was in the neighbourhood so I thought I'd see how you were adjusting." Martian Manhunter said.
"A few bumps but I'm learning!"
"That's…all I can ask."
Superboy who was watching turned to leave them.
"Stick around. Class is in session." Black Canary told him. She walked to the centre of the platform and it glowed under her feet. "I consider it an honour to be your teacher. I'll throw a lot at you everything I've learned from my own mentors." She began taking off her jacket flinching at the new bandage around her arm. "And my own bruises."
"What happened?" M'gann asked.
"The job. Now combat is about controlling conflict. Putting the battle on your terms you should always be acting now reacting. I'll need a sparring partner."
Blue went to put up her hand but Kid Flash beat her too it.
"Right here…." And then he began his flirting…again.
On the plus side. He did get slammed to the ground pretty quickly.
Oh Wally…he never learns…
"Good block but did anybody see what he did wrong?"
"Oo, Oo! He hit on teacher and got served!" Robin offered that got a light laugh from Blue.
"Dude!"
"He allowed me to dictate the terms of…" Black Canary began.
"Oh please." Superboy interrupted. "With my powers the fight is always on my terms."
"…And it begins." Blue whispered to the other four.
"…I'm a living weapon. And this is a waste of my time." Superboy finished.
"Prove it." Black Canary told him.
They faced each other and Superboy went for a punch which she sidestepped, she grabbed the Boy of Steel's arm and flung him halfway across the room.
"Ha-ha!" Robin laughed pointing at him until Kaldur elbowed him which still didn't stop him he just put his hands over his mouth and continued to laugh.
Superboy got up and growled at his teacher. "You're angry. Good. But don't react channel that anger into…."
Superboy charged. Black Canary jumped over him spun down and took the legs out from under the clone.
"That's it. I'm done!" He scowled standing up.
"Training is mandatory."
But the screen behind them lit up with an incoming message.
"Batman to the Cave. Five hours ago a new menace attacked Green Arrow and Black Canary. The attacker is capable of studying then duplicating the powers of his opponents Arrow called in reinforcements which nearly proved disastrous as our foe gained more and more power with each new opponent."
"Whoa one guy with the powers of the entire League?" Kid Flash muttered.
"In the end it took eight League members four hours to defeat and dismantle the android."
"An android who made it T.O Morrow?" Robin asked.
"Good guess Robin. But Red Tornado doesn't think so."
"The technology bares the signature of Professor Ivo." Martian Manhunter explained.
Kaldur frowned. "He's dead…"
"Or so we all thought or hoped."
"Could it be a copycat?" Blue asked.
"It's possible but to make sure this threat is permanently neutralised we're sending two trucks carrying the androids parts to two separate starlight facilities in Boston and New York for immediate evaluation." Batman said,
"Every precaution is being taken we'll have four additional trucks to create confusion encase Ivo or anyone tries to undercover the remains. You will spilt into under cover teams to safe guard the two real trucks."
"Yes! Road trip!" Wally grinned.
"So now we take out your trash?" Superboy snapped and Blue sighed.
"…You have something better to do?" Batman asked.
"Is it possible that this android has a tracker on it? Something for Ivo or anyone to follow it to Boston or New York?" Blue asked before the Boy of Steel could blow his top.
"Red Tornado found no trace of one but that is why you must be extra vigilant on the roads."
They nodded.
"Co-ordinates received." Kaldur said suddenly.
"Let's go!"
They nodded again and got ready to leave but Black Canary put a hand on Superboy's shoulder "When you're ready. I'll be here."
Litchfield County.
August 6, 20:08
They waited in the trees on their new motorbikes and civilian clothes.
On Batman's nod the trucks rolled out and the Team revved their engines and drove off.
Kid Flash, Kaldur and M'gann heading to Boston, Robin, Superboy and Blue to Manhattan.
They had communicators built into their helmets and it wasn't long before Robin talked.
"If dislike is the opposite of like, is disaster the opposite of aster? See instead of things going wrong they go right!"
Blue shook her head, her bike had auto-drove (thanks Red Tornado!) so really al she had to do was hold on and look like she was doing something.
Robin frowned and looked at Superboy who was in the middle of the three. "Cleary you're not feeling the aster. What's wrong?"
"Canary. What business does she have teaching combat skills to a guy with super strength?"
"Taking down stronger guys is apart of the gig. Canary learned that the hard way same with Batman…me…"
"And me. Superboy look at me, I'm twelve, I'm five foot two and I'm what ninety eight pounds? You have to be able to take down bigger guys. It's just…part of the job." The youngest stated but he just sped up in front of them.
"He really doesn't like me does he?" She asked Robin.
"Well remember when you shouted in his face?"
"Oh shut up Robin." She told him and he grinned behind his helmet.
Then of course all hell broke loose. Monkey robots appeared out of nowhere attaching themselves onto the truck.
No I'm dead serious. They were black monkeys with glowing green parts.
"Robin, Bleubell, and Superboy our truck is under attack." Kaldur sounded through their communicators.
"Kind of figured." Robin replied staring at their own mess.
"I. Hate. Monkeys."
"Robot Monkeys totally Ivo's tweak style. Eh, guys switch your ride to battle mode." Robin told them and Blue did.
"This is awesome." She told the Boy Wonder.
"I know right!"
"No point." Superboy stated jumping off his bike and leaping onto the truck causing the motorcycle to turn on its side and fall back toward Robin and Blue.
Blue jumped off her bike as Superboy's came sliding at her nearly knocking over Robin.
Robin grabbed the youngest and they used the rope to get onto the truck as well.
"Blue get up top!" Robin shouted quickly giving her a leg up as she took off her helmet.
"Get off this thing!" She shouted her eyes flashing as four monkeys green parts turned blue and they fell off the truck smashing on the ground below.
But she wasn't fast enough to save Superboy from getting his eyes blasted by a heat ray and thrown off the truck.
"Dammit." She muttered and ducked two coming from both sides so they hit one another.
"STOP!" She shouted as they used their heat vision to open a doorway inside via ceiling nearly falling off the side about to get back up when Superboy would land on the truck her grip would falter and she fell onto the road below hitting her head as she went causing her to cut it and it bleed from her forehead.
"Uh…ow…" She muttered as her vision slightly blurred and her eyes closed.
Things went dark.
Two monkeys blew the tires and Robin managed to get the driver out before it turned over but Superboy was still on the damn thing.
Robin helped the driver walk out from the corn field where they had jumped into saw the youngest of the group running to kneel next to her.
Superboy picked up the truck and threw it.
The monkeys had taken the parts and flew off.
Superboy followed.
"SUPERBOY!" Robin shouted but didn't go after him.
Blue was still unconscious.
"Aqualad to Robin…we've lost our cargo are you…"
"It's gone. So is Superboy and….I'm worried about Blue. She was thrown off the truck when Superboy jumped on it. She's unconscious. And her forehead is bleeding."
"Okay…keep an eye on her alright…Aqualad to Superboy give us your co-ordinates and we'll help you."
"Don't need help! Don't want any!"
"Superboy? Superboy?"
"Yeah I think he ditched his com." Robin stated.
Blur started to stir and she opened her eyes.
"Okay ow…" She sat up or at least tried to.
"Hey, hey Bleubell stop it's okay…."
"I'm fine just help me sit up."
"I really don't think you should."
"Robin…just help me up."
"Uh okay if you're sure."
He gently sat the younger girl up. "Is it deep?" She asked him pointing to her cut on her forehead.
"Not really….you won't need stitches or anything and it's stopped bleeding."
"Okay…." She placed her hand over it and winced.
She shook her head and slowly stood up.
"Maybe you shouldn't…"
"Shut up Robin."
"O-Kay…"
"Guys. Robin to Aqualad Bleubell's up. What do we do now?"
"This mission can still work if we get the parts before their resembled."
"Oh great but we don't know where to look!" Wally's voice sounded.
"Maybe we do." Robin replied kneeling before one of the broken monkey's that littered the road.
He hacked into the monkey using his computer watch.
"We'd have heard by now if the decoy trucks had been attacked so how did the monkeys know exactly which trucks to target? Ha! Bleubell you called it the parts have GPS! The monkeys can track the signal which means I can track them with the one I've got. Looks like both sets are converging on…." His mouth dropped. "Gotham city."
"That far south? Me and M'gann won't make it there any time soon. I'm sending Kid ahead to meet you. Aqualad out."
Robin pressed a button on his wrist and his bike picked up again driving towards him but Blue's was trashed. "You can ride with me there's space and you're small."
"Uh thanks?" The girl said rubbing her head.
"You okay?"
"Oh yeah uh huh I'm fine." She waved her hand dismissively.
"Defiantly a disaster huh?"
"Heavy on the dis." His smaller friend agreed.
"Let's get changed first. This gear doesn't suit me." She stated pointing the motorcycle wear she was forced into over her outfit.
"Whatever fashionista."
Gotham City.
August 6, 21:21.
They met up with Kid Flash on the city limits.
"Isn't this cosy?" He grinned at the sight of Robin driving and Blue behind him holding onto the Boy Wonder.
"Hardly. Please don't make me hurt you." Blue told him.
"So you changed too."
"You kidding? I feel naked in civvies."
"That is not something I never wanted to hear." Blue stated from her place behind Robin.
"You still tracking the parts?"
"They were heading past Gotham but they veered…wait… dude…they're at my school!"
"Then pick up the pace Boy Wonder. We're late for class." Blue ordered and he stepped on it.
-THE GYM-
Superboy was down and about to be destroyed via Superman's strength thanks to 'Amazo'
"Yoink!" Kid Flash stated zooming past him picking up Superboy.
Robin threw a bat-a-rang but it just went threw Amazo because of Martian Manhunter's powers.
"Access Red Tornado."
The four hears were scattered and thrown against the bleachers and walls.
"Access Captain Atom."
If it wasn't for Wally's speed he would have fallen to the energy blast Amazo shot at him.
"Access Black Canary." A shrill fighting cry came from his mouth blasting Wally back as he tried to attack again.
The fight was really going nowhere with Wally nearly getting crushed because of Superman's strength being copied by Amazo.
Blue went running at him.
"Access Bleu Illusion."
She froze dropping to her knees and screaming the illusion was dark, her sight was taken and it…hurt….
It hurt like hell.
"Access Black Canary."
She was freed and Kid Flash picked up as he sped past.
"You okay. Bleubell?"
"Yeah. I'm fine. Go Robin!"
"Usually the great Amazo would copy and mimic your abilities but you're all just poor copies of the originals."
"So everyone keeps saying…it makes me angry!" Superboy shouted leaping over it Ivo that was watching the chaos on the bleachers.
"That's it…." Blue whispered. "Me and Blue Illusion are completely different he just…guys I've got an idea."
"Let's hear it." Robin stated.
"Well…."
"WANNA SEE ME CHANNEL THAT ANGER!" Superboy shouted.
"Great he's lost it again."
"Maybe not." Robin shook his head.
"He knows." Blue stated so quiet it was nearly a whisper.
"Let's play keep-a-way!" Robin stated kicking Ivo across the court.
"Me! Me! Me!" Kid Flash shouted as he went to kick Ivo as well.
"Access Superman." He stomped the ground causing the wood to break and Kid Flash to go soaring and crash into the bleachers.
Robin shot another bat-a-rang. "Access Martian Manhunter."
It past through him and Blue caught him in her trap making him unable to move.
"Turn!" She ordered and he did Superboy punching him through the still see-through head holding it there. "Access Superman." The youngest said and the android materialised into a solid form again.
She let her hold go and it's head promptly blew up and off.
"Help me disassemble him!"
"Dude the guy has no head." Wally stated.
"Don't take any chances!" They looked up as Kaldur and M'gann ran into the gym.
About time.
"Superboy are you alright?"
"Fine. Feeling the aster." He smiled a small bit and so did Robin.
"Are you okay?" Kaldur asked the youngest checking her forehead. "You fell off the truck…"
"I'll be fine my head hurts tiny bit though…"
"Hm…" He ran a hand over the cut that was still scabbing over. "Well we'll get you checked out."
"I'm fine! So I fell off a moving truck because someone needs to learn how to stick a landing without knocking over everything." Blue told him pointing at Superboy with her thumb.
"I'm….sorry?"
She smiled at him. "I'm joking and Aqualad I am fine. So stop worrying."
"Hey! Where's Ivo?"
Oh shit….
Where was he?
Mount Justice.
August 7, 01:06.
"The Amazo android is in pieces again safely being analyzed at the separate Star Labs. But Ivo escaped and since he originated the tech…he's arguably more dangerous then the android." Aqualad explained.
Upon arrival back at the cave he ordered Blue to be assessed by Red Tornado. (Although he did get a glare and a "You need to stop worrying…" she did agree when he promised her a giant cookie from the bakery in Happy Harbour…)
What?
She was only human!
Red Tornado stated she didn't have a concussion just a bump on the head and would have a bruises for a couple of days and possibly a slight headache every once in a while.
"Capturing the professor will be a League priority but we understand your mission encountered other complications."
They all looked at Superboy. "Complication come with the job. You're ability to handle them have impressed the League." Batman stated.
"The whole League?" Superboy asked.
"Given time yes. Kryptonians, as you know, have very hard heads." Batman nodded. "Of course there is no shame in asking for help as that is why the League Exists. Because there are some things that even we can't handle individually."
"Please! If we needed help we'd never get the chance to ask!" Robin stated and took out the arrow that had been shot in the middle of the battle. "You were following us baby sitting you still don't trust us."
Green Arrow stepped forward and took the arrow.
"We didn't follow you." Batman replied.
Green Arrow took an arrow out of his quiver.
They weren't the same.
"That's not your arrow…." Robin muttered. "But that means…"
"Speedy!"
"He has our backs." Kaldur agreed.
Kid Flash sped forward and took the unknown arrow. "Souvenir!"
"This is turning into a fetish for you." Blue took him.
Superboy walked up to Black Canary "I'm ready…" He told her.
"Good because I'm here to help." She said. "Always."
Wasn't really sure where to end it but that seemed as good a place as any!
