"Piggy Back!" Blue shouted jumping on Kaldur's back nearly catching him off guard.
"Really?"
"Dude I'm not getting down so yeah really."
He rolled his eyes but tucked his hands under her knees so she wouldn't fall anyway.
"Hello Megan! We should hit the beach every day!"
"First a moment of silence for absent comrade." Robin sighed.
"Poor Wally." M'gann shook her head.
Of course to be fair after that they didn't really think about the missing speedster just had their own fun splashing each other and making hotdogs on the barbecue grill Superboy had carried down.
Superboy, Robin, M'gann and Kaldur played volley ball while Blue read her new book looking up at them every minutes smiling widely.
Robin had slipped her ten bucks to manipulate the ball into falling just the right place for him and Kaldur.
Yeah that team one.
The group even managed to get Superboy to agree to let them bury him in the sand.
-LATER-
"The Wall-man is here!" He stated running in wearing swim wear and carrying all sorts of beach utensils. "Now let's get this party started…"
He fell flat on his face.
"Wally's home." Blue announced sarcastically rolling her eyes.
He looked up to see not only his team but Red Tornado, Batman, Green Arrow and a new girl? Wearing green.
"Wall-man huh? I love the look what exactly are you're powers?" She asked.
"She insulted Wally! I love you already." Blue told her before looking up at their leader. "Can we keep her?"
Robin and M'gann chuckled as Kaldur rolled his eyes.
The new girl cracked a smile small at the youngest of the group.
"Uh who's this?"
"Artemis you're new teammate."
"Kid Flash; never heard of you." He replied.
"Uh…she's my new protégé." Green Arrow told him.
"Well what happened to your old one?" Kid Flash asked.
"Recognised Speedy, P: 07." The computer at the entrance shouted and the first protégé of Green Arrow walked in.
"Well for starters he doesn't go by Speedy anymore. Call me Red Arrow." He said rather arrogantly.
"Roy?"
"Oh boy…" Blue sighed. This could not end well.
"You look…" Green Arrow began.
"Replaceable."
"It's not like that you told me you were going solo."
"So why waste time finding a sub? Can she even use that bow?"
"Yes she can!
"Who are you?" Wally asked.
"I'm his niece." Artemis said.
"She's my niece." Green Arrow also said at the exact same time.
"Another niece?" Robin smirked.
"But she is not your replacement." Kaldur said. "We have always wanted you on the team. We have no quota on archers."
"And if we did you know who we'd pick." Wally told him.
"Whatever Baywatch. I'm here to stay."
Roy turned to leave but Blue got in his way. "You came here for a reason." She told him.
"A reason called Dr Serling Roquette." He told her.
"Nano-robotics genius and clay-tronics expert at Royal University in Star City! Vanished two weeks again." Robin said looking at his watch computer.
"I really got to get one of those, they're awesome." Blue said pointing at it.
"Thank you."
"She was abducted two weeks ago. By the League of Shadows."
"Whoa! You want us to rescue her from the League of Shadows?"
"Hardcore."
"I already rescued her." Roy told them. "Only one problem the Shadows had already coerced her into making a weapon. Doc calls it the Fog. It's made up of millions of microscopic robots Nanotech infiltrators. Capable of disintegrating anything in their path. Concrete, steel, flesh, bone…but its true purpose isn't mere destruction. Its theft the infiltrators eat and store data from any given data system and deliver the Intel to the Shadows. Providing them access to weapons, strategic defence, cutting edge science and tech."
"Perfect for extortion, manipulation and power broking…yeah sounds like the Shadows."
"Manipulation?" Blue asked taking a step forward and Roy nodded. "That's my job." She stated. "I'm in." She told him.
"Like she knows anything about the Shadows." Wally said and Artemis just smirked. "WHO ARE YOU?"
"Roquette's working on a virus to render the Fog inert."
"But if the Shadows know she can do that…"
"They'll target her. Right now she's off the grid I stashed her at the local high school's computer lab."
"You left her alone?" Green Arrow asked.
"She's safe enough for now!" He snapped back.
"Then let's you and I keep her that way."
"You and I…don't you want to take you're new protégé?"
"You brought this to the Team it's their mission. Which means it's hers now too."
He scoffed. "Then my job is done." He headed to the exit.
"Recognised Speedy."
"That's Red Arrow P: 07 update."
And he was beamed out.
"Well I said I'd do it and I will." Blue said. "I don't go back on my word."
The rest nodded. "Alright this is what we'll do."
Happy Harbour.
August 8, 21:53
"Miss Martian link us up we do not want the Shadows inter linking our com…"
She did and now they could speak in their heads.
"Everyone online?"
"Ugh this is weird…" Artemis stated.
"And distracting." The Doc said. "Trying to make something like this on a kiddie computer with less ram then a wrist-watch. Is hard enough! Now I have to hear teen think in my skull?"
"Oh stop being such a bitch." Blue told her causing some other members of her Team to gasp in their heads.
"Excuse me!" The Doc stated angrily.
"We're guarding you. And you insult us not ten minutes into the mission about how we're 'distracting teens…..' Listen Doc I really don't care who you are. And I'm not very patient so shut your mouth or I'm out of here you stuck up snob."
"Listen you little…."
"Sí. ¿Qué vas a hacer?" (Yeah? What are you going to do?) Blue interrupted.
"I don't know what you said."
"Good."
"Lady do you always complain when someone tries to help you?" Wally asked.
"Pot, Kettle, have you met?"
"Hey, hey I do not need attitude from the newbie that drove Red Arrow off the team!"
"That is so not on me!"
"Fate of the world!" Doc shouted in her head. "AT STAKE!"
"She started it!"
"Doc keep working. You two zip it." Blue ordered.
"How about I just help Miss Martian and Superboy patrol the perimeter."
"Good idea." Aqualad agreed.
"I'm gonna need an aspirin after this." Blue stated.
Artemis and Wally continued to argue.
"I couldn't get the Justice League…." Doc muttered.
"The virus won't be of much use if we can't find the weapon." Aqualad stated. "Can you track it."
"My utility Fog is not a weapon it's Science. Brilliant Science…"
"Well that's brilliant but it was created to be a weapon for the Shadows. You want to know why Doc because they'll use it as a weapon but please answer the question can, you, track the damn thing?"
"Of course I can track it."
"Finally answers."
"…But I'll have to go online. Might as well rent a billboard with this address and assonate me written in neon!"
Aqualad put his hand on her shoulder. "We will protect you."
"Even Miss Sass over there?" She asked jerking her thumb at Blue.
"Of course I just don't like you." Blue stated.
"Tracking fog now."
The scientist went online.
"Miss Martian, Dr. Roquette has located the Fog, place send for the Bio-Ship so Robin and Superboy can pursue."
The door partially opened and a poisoned shuriken was hurled inside, Aqualad jumping in front of it.
"Doctor get down!"
Blue stood in front of her.
The door opened fully and two figures ran in two more of those blasted things being thrown in.
Aqualad jumped in front again and the two of the damned things lodged themselves in his arm.
"That had to hurt." "
"I assure you Atlantean skin is quite dense."
"And I assure you my shuriken is quite poisonous." The woman said wearing a grinning Cheshire mask said.
"Hola chica." The other figure said; the voice was male and smooth the Spanish rolling off his tongue. The voice was also familiar. His outfit was primarily red and black, his face covered by a red mask not unlike Artemis' but it reached below his chin and around but his mouth was visible, the part over his eyes was darkened.
She couldn't see them.
"Ah shit." She cursed.
He pulled out his two daggers and attacked Blue.
She ducked and brought her hand up the dagger smacking against the sliver of her wrist guard.
"GET BACK!"
Her eyes flashed and he was thrown back but landed on his feet charging again.
"M'gann, Kid, Artemis. We are under attack in the computer lab."
"On our way!" Artemis answered.
He attacked again and Bluer ducked but he swiped taking her legs out from under the twelve year old, she tried to get up and he kicked her chest forcing her down again, placing his boot over hr neck to keep her there.
"Don't move." An arrow shot past the Cheshire woman knocking a dagger out of her hand.
Artemis.
Thank god.
"Well, this keeps getting interesting."
Kid Flash sped into the room with Miss Martian throwing Mr. Red off Blue.
He jumped to stand with his partner.
"A little two interesting." He agreed.
Kid went to attack but a smoke bomb was let off.
When it cleared they saw, they were both gone.
"She's getting away!" Doc shouted. "You're letting her get away!"
"¡Cállate! Por favor, por una vez, cállate!" (Shut up! Please for once shut up!) Blue shouted rubbing her neck gasping for breath wiping the tear that had escaped while she tried to fight for air under the guys boot.
They looked at her but she refused to meet their eyes.
Kid Flash then went on to scold Artemis about letting the two in but M'gann stepped in saying she was outside too.
Of course that ended in an inappropriate comment about how he couldn't stay mad at her that she 'gave him mouth to mouth' of course the last part was in his head…
But they were still linked up.
"We heard that!"
"Dang it!"
"I didn't do half as well during my first battle. And I know you haven't been Green Arrow's sidekick for very long…" M'gann smiled.
"Focus everyone. The Shadows will be back."
"Robin to Aqualad we're over Philadelphia we've located the Shadows next target. Star Labs." Robin's voice sounded through their communicators. "We're too late…it's destroyed. Totally destroyed the Fog decimated it. This is bad. Star Labs is cutting edge Science and now their secrets are in the hands of the enemy. What's our next move?"
"Re-scan for that Fog." Aqualad ordered. "Find it….we're moving the doctor.
-NEW LOCATION-
Down the street from where the fight went on between Cheshire, her Spanish friend and her back-up against the rest of their team.
In the Sandbar Internet Cafe, Aqualad and Blue guarded the real Doctor Roquette.
"I've almost got it!" She told them and they nodded.
Aqualad heard it. "We have company."
"Uploading now and by the way you said you'll protect me."
"Starting to regret that." Blue said as a smoke bomb rolled it.
It exploded but Cheshire actually came in from the back throwing three darts.
Blue took the shots and flinches as they dug into her arm. "Oh my…how about we see how immune she is to jellyfish toxin?"
Blue charged but Cheshire grabbed her by the neck and threw her at the wall knocking her unconscious. "Not immune at all it would seem."
Aqualad drew his Water Bearers and charged.
He too was defeated.
Blue flitted in and out of consciousness the last thing she heard before it all went black "Let's get her back to the cave…before the poison takes over."
-FOUR HOURS LATER-
Her eyes fluttered then opened flinching slightly away from the lights on the ceiling.
Slowly she sat up. "Ow…" She muttered and stared at her arm which was currently wrapped up by bandages.
"The poison is out of your system and you'll be bruises for a few days. But you'll be fine." A voice said.
"Hey Kaldur…."
"I'm glad you're awake."
"Uh huh…aw man why is it always me?"
"Hey. You did your best, you're young."
"I'm a liability." She corrected her leader.
"You're an essential part of this team. Okay Blue?"
"Yeah whatever."
"Hey…how about I get you some hot chocolate?"
"You can make hot chocolate?"
"For you sure."
"Thanks Kaldur…." She yawned and closed her eyes. "But I'm just gonna…" She was asleep.
He chuckled and stood up. "Night Blue."
"Night Kaldur…and…thanks…"
Wasn't sure how to end it so there is the best place I think.
OMG please review!
Who do you think Cheshire's friend in red is?
Tell me!
