Mount Justice
August 3, 07:00 EDT
Mia was up and about holding a mug of hot chocolate in her hands sitting on top of the island in the kitchen. She looks up from her mug to see Superboy heading to the zeta tube platforms and quickly went after him. Once she caught up with him, she spoke again for the first time in a week.
"Where are you going?"
He turns around surprised to hear her talking "Out."
Mia gives him a stern motherly look "Where are you really going Superboy?"
"Metropolis."
She nods "Ok have fun. Just don't do something incredibly stupid like the Stupids would do" Mia retorts.
Mia turns to leave but Superboy stops her by pulling her into a bear hug and lightly squeezes her.
"Supey what's wrong?"
"You made a snarky comment. My sister's back" he mumbles.
Mia hugs him back and rubs his back "I'm sorry that I put you guys through hell, I didn't mean to. I promise I'll try to be myself again."
"Ok."
Superboy lets go and heads to Metropolis.
For the rest of the morning, Mia went to the lounge and watched TV. She decided to watch some TV show on Netflix called Supernatural. After the first episode, she got hooked on it and binged watch the show. As she sat there watching the show intensely, the others saw that Mia was up and watching TV in the lounge. They sat around her to watch with her but after ten minutes of watching, Kaldur and M'gann left because it was too much for them leaving the trio behind.
"So what season is this?" Wally asks.
"Three."
"And how long have you been watching TV?" Robin asks.
"Since seven this morning."
The boys looked at each other then to Mia. Robin stands up from the couch saying "Ok Mia, I think you had enough TV for today so how about we get ready for the day?"
Right as Robin touched the TV, a knife appeared next to his head and it nicked his ear a little. He looks back to see a calm face on Mia's face while Wally's face showed shock and his jaw on the floor.
"Step away from the TV and no one gets hurt" Mia threatened with a straight face.
Robin moves away from the TV and slowly made his way back to Wally's side. They let out a nervous laugh then walked away.
Around noon, Mia turns off the TV and went to change into her suit. "I think I scared the hell out of them. Oops" Mia thought as she walked to the Mission Room. Everyone was playing a hologram version of air hockey and Mia stood next to M'gann.
"I call winner" Mia spoke out.
The Team looks over at Mia and were surprised to see that she was talking to them.
"Ok but get ready to have your butt handed to you" Wally states.
Mia doesn't give in to Wally's taunting and patiently waited for the winner between Wally and Kaldur. Lo and behold the winner was Wally so as Mia went up to face Wally, he eggs her on.
"I'll go easy on you ok?" nothing "First person to reach five is the winner."
She nods and the game begins. In ten minutes, Mia won and Wally looked at her like What just happened?
"Rematch."
"Ok but it's your funeral."
"What?"
Then Mia won again and again. Robin declares Mia as the undefeated Queen of Air Hockey. Mia steps down to watch the others play then someone comes through the zeta tube.
"Recognized: Superboy, B05" and Superboy walks in.
He walks through the hologram with a sour look on his face, ignoring everyone.
"Hi Superboy. How was Metropolis?" M'gann asks.
He just kept on walking away. Mia looks at his back with concern then barely spoke above a whisper "What happened Supey?"
Superboy turns his head frowning at her and she got the idea. Everyone's attention was brought over to Manhunter and Canary walking in.
"Ready for training, everyone?" Canary asks.
"Black Canary! Uncle J'onn!" M'gann exclaims as she walks over to hug Manhunter.
"M'gann, I was in the neighborhood so I thought I'd see how you were adjusting."
"A few bumps, but I'm learning."
"That's all I can ask."
Mia watches the interaction between M'gann and Manhunter and smiled sadly "Must be nice to have someone care about how you're doing." She didn't even notice Superboy walking away until Canary called him out.
"Stick around. Class is in session."
Canary walks to the middle of the floor turning on the training simulator. She turns around facing M'gann, Wally, Robin, Kaldur, Mia and Manhunter.
"I consider it to be an honor to be your teacher. I'll throw a lot at you, everything I learned from my own mentor…uh…and my own bruises."
"What happened?" M'gann asks.
"The job. Now, combat is about controlling conflict putting the battle on your terms" Canary started.
"You should always be acting, never reacting" Mia finishes.
Canary looks over to Mia with a smile "You seem to know what I'm talking about Mia."
Mia sends her a sly smile "Learned it from a mutual friend of ours."
Canary nods "I'll need a sparring partner."
Mia was going to volunteer but Wally raises his hand first.
"Right, here. Yeah!" he finishes his banana and tosses it "After this…swish. I'll show you my moves."
"Oh dear Lord, please make him stop. I beg of you!" Mia dramatically said as she fell to her knees praying.
"She's back!" Robin exclaims with his hands in the air.
He helps her back on her feet and hugs her. Mia hugs him back then turned her attention back to the sparring match. The fight begins with Canary throwing a punch and Wally blocks it but Canary squats down and takes out his legs from underneath him with her leg. Wally falls to the ground hard with a sign above him saying "Kid Flash. Status: FAIL" and Mia lets out a hiss "That's gotta hurt."
"Ohh. Hurts so good."
"Good block. But did anyone see what he did wrong?" Canary asks after helping Wally up.
"Ooh, ooh. He hit on teacher and got served?" Robin suggests.
"Dude!" Wally exclaims.
"No that wasn't it" everyone glances at Mia "He acted like Flash. Canary mistook him as the Flash and gave him a whooping he clearly deserves."
"Mia!"
She sticks her tongue out at Wally.
"He allowed me to dictate the terms of-" Canary got interrupted by Superboy.
"Oh, please. With my powers, the battle's always on my terms. I'm a living weapon, and this is a waste of my time."
"Prove it."
Superboy walks up to Canary and throws a punch at her. She grabs his arms and tosses him over her onto the ground. Robin points and laughs earning an elbow from Kaldur and a smack to the back of his head from Mia but he continues to laugh. Superboy gets up with an angry look on his face.
"You're angry. Good, but don't react. Channel that anger into-" Canary stopped when Superboy went in for another punch.
She flips over him and takes him down again. Robin covers his mouth to quiet his laughing, M'gann was concerned about Superboy, Kaldur looked stunned, Wally was like Now you know how I feel and Mia shakes her head in exasperation "Such a hothead."
"That's it. I'm done" Superboy states as he got up ignoring Canary's hand.
"Training is mandatory" she places a hand on his shoulder but he shrugs it off.
Before another word could be said, there was an incoming transmission and Batman's face appeared.
"Batman to the Cave. Five hours ago, a new menace attacked Green Arrow and Black Canary. The attacker was capable of studying, then duplicating the powers and abilities of its opponents. Arrow called in reinforcements, which nearly proved disastrous as our foe gained more and more power with each new combatant."
"Whoa. One guy with the powers of the entire League?" Wally states.
Mia shivers as she felt a chill run up her spine.
"In the end, it took eight Leaguers four hours to defeat and dismantle the android."
"An android? W-who made it, T.O. Morrow?" Robin asks.
"Good guess, Robin. But Red Tornado doesn't think so."
"The technology bears the signature of Professor Ivo" Manhunter states.
"Ivo? But Ivo's dead" Kaldur claims.
"So we all thought or hoped" Canary says.
"Who's this Ivo guy?" Mia thought as she glances at the two Leaguers.
"To make certain this threat is permanently neutralized we're sending two trucks carrying the android's parts to two separate STAR lab facilities in Boston and Manhattan for immediate evaluation. Every precaution is being taken. We'll have four additional decoy trucks to create confusion in case Ivo or anyone tries to recover the remains. You will split into undercover teams to safeguard the two real trucks"
"Yes! Road trip" Wally exclaims.
Everyone turns to look at him. "Idiot" Mia thought glancing at Wally.
"So now we take out your trash" Superboy angrily states.
"Superboy!" Mia scolds.
"You had something better to do?" Batman asks.
Superboy doesn't respond.
"Coordinates received. On our way" Kaldur says.
The Team leaves to get ready. Mia waits for Superboy when she saw that Canary was talking to him for a bit. Superboy leaves and joins up with Mia as the duo leave to get ready for the mission.
Litchfield County
August 3, 20:08 EDT
The Team arrives at the coordinates where the battle went down. As they hid behind some bushes and got ready, Mia looks around bored out of her mind. "This is so boring, I need to talk to someone" she thought then teleports between Flash and Green Arrow scaring the daylights out of them.
"What are you doing here?" Flash asks.
"I got bored and wanted to talk to someone."
"Why did you pick us?" Arrow asks.
"Because you two can be chill and have a casual conversation with me."
The two heroes glanced at each other then down to Mia with a look that said Seriously? Mia shakes her head not believing the two of them.
"Ugh now I see why they act the way they do."
"Who?" Flash and Arrow asked at the same time.
"You know who I'm talking about. Flash, Kid acts way too much like you. Green Arrow, teach Speedy some manners or he'll have to learn it the hard way from me" Mia puts her finger to her comm then looked at them "Guess I gotta go, see ya" and Mia teleports back onto her bike.
Flash and Green Arrow were silent for a few seconds until Arrow said "Wow she reminds me of Canary."
"She reminds me of Iris."
The two of them looked at each other and shivered at the thought of Mia being the hybrid of Canary and Iris.
"The boys are doomed."
"You got that right Flash."
Soon everything was ready to go.
"STAR Boston is a go."
"STAR Manhattan is go."
Batman signals the trucks to leave and they did. Wally, M'gann and Kaldur followed the truck going north to Boston while Robin, Superboy, and Mia followed the truck south to Manhattan. Cruising down the highway, Mia began to hum "Zip A Dee Do Dah" to make the trip go by faster. As the trio follows the truck, Robin voiced his curiosity.
"If dislike is the opposite of like, is disaster the opposite of aster? See, instead of things going wrong, they go right."
Superboy stays silent while Mia looks at Robin with a dumbfounded look.
"Seriously? That's what you're curious about?"
"Uh, clearly you're not feeling the aster. What's wrong?" Robin asks Superboy.
"Canary. And what business does she have teaching combat skills to a guy with super strength?"
"Taking down stronger guys is part of the gig. Canary learned that the hard way. Same with Batman and well, me" Robin explains.
"He's right Supey. I mean all I can do is teleport, which isn't really useful for fighting so I learned everything I know from an old friend. You won't believe how many times I got my butt handed to me but I learned from my mistakes and got better" Mia says.
Superboy ignores the two of them and speeds up.
"He's not feeling the aster" Robin says.
"He really isn't."
"How about you?"
"I'm getting there."
"It's nice to hear you talk again. You really had us worried there."
"I'm sorry. It's just that, losing another set of parents after five years I guess I had a meltdown."
"Five years? Does that mean…" "Wait I thought your mom is still alive. You mean she's not?" Mia doesn't answer "Mia is she…"
"I'd rather not talk about it."
Meanwhile with the other trio, they have a small conversation.
"Do you think Superboy's okay? I-I wasn't reading his mind, I swear but anger flowed off him in waves" M'gann states.
"Heh. Surf that wave. Just give him space. Me? Stick as close as you want" Wally flirts.
"Mia would definitely slap Wally's head" M'gann thought.
"Superboy just needs time to cool off. A quiet mission will clear his head. I'm glad that Blink is feeling better" Kaldur comments.
M'gann and Wally nod in agreement. They were glad that Mia was talking to them but they knew it was just a mask for the time being. Suddenly robot monkeys flew out of the cornfield and started attacking the truck.
"Robin, Superboy, Blink, our truck is under attack!" Kaldur states.
'Kind of figured' Robin replies.
'Gee really? I would've never guess since we've got a barrel of monkeys attacking ours!' Mia retorts.
"And there's the snarky comment" Wally observes.
'Don't make me hurt you Kid.'
Mia, Robin and Superboy turn their attentions back to the truck.
"I hate monkeys" Superboy states.
"I don't think they're from King Louie's gang" Mia jokes.
"Did you just make a Disney reference?" Robin asks.
"Yes I did" Mia said proudly.
The driver starts swerving the truck in hopes of getting the monkeys off the truck.
"Robot monkeys! Ha ha! Totally Ivo's tweaked style" Robin states.
He switches his bike to battle mode and Mia did the same.
"Hey, hey. Switch your ride to battle mode" Robin suggests to Superboy.
"No point."
Superboy jumps to the top of the truck and starts attacking the robots. When he jumped, the bike loses control and crashes into Robin's.
"Or not" he said as he jumps out of the way.
Robin makes it onto the truck and sticks to the back of it. Mia parks her bike off to the side by the cornfield and hops off it. "Supey I now dub thee Stupid 3." Mia teleports to the top of the truck. Mia and Superboy started to take down the monkeys but more just keep coming to replace the fallen ones while Robin is hanging on the back of the truck destroying some of them from getting the parts. As they take down the robots, one of them shoots a laser beam into Superboy's eyes causing him to hold his eyes in pain allowing the monkeys to lift him up and throw him off the truck.
"Superboy!" Mia yells out "Now I'm mad." She turns to face the monkeys "No more monkey business" she said in a cold tone cracking her knuckles.
Some of the monkeys actually backed away a little from her then she lets out her anger that she's been repressing for a week. Mia attacked and destroyed every monkey that came her way with the ferocity of a lioness. To tell the truth she hasn't used all of her skills since The Cage but she never liked using it, especially in The Cage, it made her feel like an animal. Mia only used her full skills if she thought her life or siblings lives were in danger and that's when her powers manifested.
Kaldur knocks out a few monkeys with a water whip while Wally and M'gann take out a few of them from their bikes. The monkeys were able to get in the truck and tried to grab the parts. M'gann knocks out a few monkeys form the top of the truck, Wally ditched his bike going after the ones on the side and Kaldur took care of the ones in the back. There were still more monkeys on the windshield and M'gann went to take care of them.
She noticed that there were too many monkeys on her so she grew extra arms to get rid of them from her body and the windshield. In doing so, the driver saw her and freaks out then she goes back on top of the truck and scares Wally too. More of Ivo's robots fly out of the hole in the truck and started attacking Wally and M'gann as a distraction so the other monkeys fly away with the parts.
Robin takes a monkey out and went topside. He was stunned to see Mia breathing heavily and a litter of robotic monkey parts scattered around her. "Did she destroy all of them by herself?" A few more of them appeared so he takes out his escrima sticks and starts bashing the robots in order for Mia to catch her breath.
"So glad you finally joined. How was your nap?" Mia retorts.
"Yeah, yeah. Go check on the parts I got this."
"You sure?"
"Positive."
"Got it."
Mia jumps into the hole in the truck and takes out a few monkeys while protecting the parts. "And here I thought monkeys were supposed to be cute" Mia taunts as she destroys a few more. A loud thump was heard and Mia glances up "Well hello Stupid 3" next thing she hears was the tires blowing out. Soon the truck rolls and Mia is tossed around inside it. The truck stops moving then Mia slowly stands up clutching her head.
"Well that was fun" she sarcastically states. Mia refocuses her attention back to the parts and continued to defend them from Ivo's robots. Looking over at the door, Mia saw that the robots were going to blow the door away so she grabs onto the crate tightly. The door of the truck explodes from the inside out and the monkeys grab the crate with Mia struggling to hang on. As the monkeys start flying away, Mia notices that she's flying and looks down to see that the road was looking smaller and smaller.
"Oh boy" she presses her comm "Hey Robin."
'Yeah?'
"A little help please!"
Robin looks up to see the monkeys flying away with the parts and Mia clinging onto the crate for dear life.
"Blink jump!" Robin yells.
'No! I need to see where the monkeys are taking the parts.'
"Well just teleport back down here with the parts."
'Yeah…two problems with that plan: 1. I don't have the juice to teleport and 2. If I did, I haven't quite mastered teleporting great distances. Just track my GPS from my comm.'
"Darn it Mia" Robin thought then sees Superboy going after the robots "Superboy!" he yells out.
'Aqualad to Robin. We've lost our cargo. Did you-'
"It's gone. And so are my partners" Robin states looking at the sky.
'Aqualad to Superboy. Radio in your position. We'll help you.'
"I don't need help, don't want any!" Superboy yells as he jumps after the robots and ditching his commlink.
'Blink to Aqualad. Well if Superboy doesn't want help, will someone please help me?!'
"Blink where are you?"
'I'm over-'
"Blink come in" Kaldur states but he got static.
'I think he ditched his comm and I lost Blink's location' Robin comments.
"Super. Now we can't even track them" Wally complains.
"Both of them are out of my telepathic range. And this Professor Ivo, if he is alive seems to be two steps ahead of us. M-maybe w-we should contact Red Tornado?" M'gann suggests.
"Tornado always tells us to handle things ourselves. And the mission can still succeed if we recover the parts before they're reassembled" Kaldur states.
"Well, that's a great plan except for the part about us not knowing where to look!" Wally claims. He felt a slight chill running down his spine "Was that Mia scolding me?"
'Maybe we do' Robin suggests.
He kneels down and attaches a cable into the robot monkey and starts hacking into it.
"We'd have heard by now if the decoy trucks had been attacked. So how did these monkeys know exactly which trucks to target?" after decoding he found the answer "Ha! The parts have GPS. The monkeys can track the signal which means I can track them with the one I captured. It looks like both sets of parts are converging on…Gotham City."
'That far south? M'gann and I won't get there anytime soon. I'm sending Kid on ahead to meet you. Aqualad out.'
Robin stands up and calls his bike over. "Definitely a disaster, heavy on the dis."
Metropolis
August 3, 21:18 EDT
"Apple pie."
"The devil's food."
Bruce hands the menu back to the waiter.
"Something tells me this isn't about dessert" Clark said solemnly.
"The boy needs you" Bruce spoke crystal clear.
"No. He needs you. He needs Red. He needs that girl. I'm just a constant reminder of what he's not" Clark states.
"Sorry, Clark, but you're dead wrong" Clark looks at him "Look, I know he troubles you, but he's here. You have to get over the how and why. Trust me on this. The boy needs his father."
"I'm not his father" Clark quickly gets up putting on his hat "I'll take that pie to go" and leaves to pay.
"The girl would say otherwise" Bruce softly spoke knowing Clark would hear him.
Gotham City
August 3, 21:21 EDT
Mia had been hanging onto the crate tightly like a monkey on a tree trunk and the robots didn't bother fighting her knowing that she couldn't do much in the air. "That's right, take me to your leader" she thought as the door from one of the train cars opens and they land inside. She quickly gets up and goes into a fighting stance ready for a fight.
"And who are you?"
Mia turns to see a short man with orange hair with gray streaks, a green sweater vest, a red bowtie, black pants and shoes.
"No one you need to worry about buddy. You're Ivo?"
"In the flesh."
"Well this is anti-climatic" she places her hands on her hips.
"Excuse me?"
"It's just I pictured you taller is all. I mean, dude I'm taller than you. What are you 5'2, 5'3?"
"Oh my dear, you should never judge a book by it's cover."
"Whatever you say doc."
Then a loud thump was heard above them. "Well it's about time" Mia thought then turns to face Ivo again but something grabs her by the throat.
"S-seriously? This is…ackh…t-the th-third time" Mia struggled saying.
Superboy comes in from a hole in the roof and notices the crates were empty. Mia tried to speak but a monkey gags her with a cloth so instead Ivo got his attention.
"Oh, hello."
"You? You're Ivo? I'm whelmed."
"You know, the girl said the same thing."
"What girl?"
Ivo ignores his question "You're one to talk. Now, since when does the big blue boy scout have a brat?"
"He doesn't."
"Yeah, if you say so. Have you met my mobile optimal neural quotient infiltrators?"
The monkeys started to attack Superboy while Mia was still being held hostage by the android. "I need to get out of here but if I use my powers then the android will copy them…perfect" Mia thought as she watches the fight between the monkeys and Superboy.
"Ah. And after all of the trouble I went through finding an acronym for MONQI" Ivo sadly states.
Mia raises her heartbeat so Superboy could hear it but she was too late.
"Access Captain Atom" the android states.
It shoots an energy blast at Superboy.
"Since Professor Ivo's magnificent MONQIs don't float your boat maybe my amazing Amazo will better suit you or better slay you" Ivo gestures to Amazo.
"Did he seriously just monologue?" Mia stared at Ivo weirdly.
Superboy finally notices Mia struggling against Amazo's grip and frowns. "That's what he meant by girl. Hang on Mia" Superboy thought as he tries getting up.
As the train continues its journey to Gotham, Superboy finally gets up and starts acting cocky "Give me your best shot."
"Please. My android has the strength of Superman. What chance do you have?"
"Su-supey r-run" Mia's voice was muffled by the gag but Superboy knew what she said.
Superboy growls and attacks Amazo. The android drops Mia to defend himself against Superboy's punches.
"Oh, sorry. Did that strike a nerve? Amazo, strike a few more" Ivo orders.
Amazo punches Superboy away then locks onto him "Access Black Canary" and a high pitch scream was directed at him. "Access Flash" Amazo quickly appears in front of him and strikes him at the speed of Flash. Superboy falls to the ground.
"Oh. No wonder daddy keeps you hidden away. You're not really doing justice to the old S shield, are you? Ha!"
The fight continues and Mia wakes up from the daze due to lack of oxygen. She moans and places a hand to her throat touching it gently "Why do they always go for the throat?" she notices that her hands weren't bound "He may be a professor but he's pretty stupid for not tying my hands together."
Mia takes off her gag and saw Superboy get punched out of the train car "Superboy!"
"Finish him. Priority Alpha."
Amazo went after Superboy to finish the job. Ivo turns to face Mia with a look of glee like a child getting a new toy.
"As for you my dear-"
"Sorry doc. Catch me if you can" Mia winks at him teleporting to wherever Superboy was.
"Ooh a teleporter. Haven't seen one of those before" Ivo states as his MONQIs take him to watch the fight between Amazo and Superboy.
Robin's quickly reaching Gotham City limits when Wally shows up next to him.
"So you changed too?"
"You kidding? Huh. I feel naked in civvies. You still tracking the parts?"
"They were heading through Gotham but they veered. Wait. Dude, they're at my school."
The boys raced to reach Gotham Academy.
At the school, Superboy gets thrown into the trophy case and falls to the ground with Amazo standing over him. Amazo picks him up and tosses him into the lockers. At that moment, Mia appears next to him and helps him up.
"You good?"
Superboy doesn't respond, instead he sees a drawing of Superman taped inside a locker and punches it then goes after Amazo. "You're living up to your name Stupid 3" Mia thought as she watches Superboy get punched by Amazo. Not waiting another second, Mia teleports to where Superboy is which in this case is the gym. She stands next to him and has a staring contest with Ivo when he finishes clapping.
"I don't usually attend these things in person but this was too good to miss."
"Glad to see our misery brings you joy doc" Mia retorts.
"Oh it does" Ivo smiles.
"Access Superman."
Superboy and Amazo go at it while Mia went after Ivo. She quickly appears behind him and scares him when she spoke.
"You know, I'm not one to gamble but I'd bet everything I own to Superboy winning this fight."
"Stop that!"
"Stop that!" Mia mocks.
"Oh how childish."
"Why thank you. Now hold still so I can kick your can."
Mia went after Ivo but his monkeys fought her instead. She easily takes them out without breaking a sweat and turns to face Ivo.
"Now where were we doc?"
"At the part where I tell you that they're alive."
Mia stops dead in her tracks "I don't know what you're talking about."
"Of course you do. You see, I remembered hearing about a young girl with the ferocity of a lioness and the grace of a swan who disappeared without a trace in the dead of night. Looks like I've found her and isn't she just beautiful?"
Mia growls and instantly appears right in front of him. She grabs the scruff of his sweater vest and sends him a deadly glare.
"You don't know anything about me."
"Oh but I do, well more about your siblings than you" Mia's eyes widen "Oh dear, has no one told you that they're alive? Well they are and they have grown quite wonderfully. The Twins are so ruggedly handsome that some may say are more handsome than Adonis and the little one I can tell will grow into a beautiful Spanish rose wouldn't you say?"
Before Mia could do anything, a monkey comes out of nowhere and shoots a laser beam at Mia causing her to let go of Ivo and fall off the bleachers screaming in pain. She hits her head on the ground hard and falls unconscious.
The battle rages on as our boys try to take down Amazo. Robin throws bird-arangs at Amazo who dodges it and shot heat vision at Robin. Wally grabs him at the last second and the two tumbled out of the way. Superboy gets up breathing heavily and takes in the situation. Ivo was sitting on the other side of the gym, Amazo standing in the middle of the gym, Mia unconscious and bleeding from her head and Robin and Wally not too far from her.
He takes a breath and calmly said "Access Black Canary."
"Oh, yawn. Normally Amazo would study and mimic your abilities during battle, but what's the point? You're all such poor copies of the originals. It's a shame that I didn't have Amazo copy the girl's power, now that would've been lovely to see."
Superboy smirks "So everyone keeps saying. It makes me angry!"
He launches himself over to Ivo and he quickly dodges Superboy.
"Want to see me channel that anger?"
"Great. He's gone ballistic again" Wally states.
"Maybe not. Go after them, I got Mia" Robin orders.
Wally went to do his part while Robin quickly went to Mia's said and assessed her injuries. He bandages her head then gently picks her up and sets her down off to the side.
"Just take it easy Mia, we'll handle him don't you worry" Robin softly spoke before placing a small peck on her forehead.
"Amazo, protect your master. Priority alpha" Ivo quickly dodges Superboy's punch again.
"Captain Atom" Amazo shot an energy blast at Superboy.
"Anyone want to play keep-away?" Robin asks as he kicks Ivo in the back.
"Me, me!" Wally exclaims running behind Amazo heading to Ivo.
"Access Superman" the android stomps the ground making it unstable and aimed it towards Wally causing him to fly towards the bleachers. "Access Martian Manhunter" Amazo density shifts when a bird-arang flew threw its head. Superboy jumps in at the last second and places his fist through Amazo's head at the same time it said "Superman."
Amazo becomes solid again and its head explodes. The body falls back to the ground with a metallic thud and Robin races over to the body.
"Help me disassemble him now!"
"Dude, the guy has no head" Wally reasons.
"Don't take any chances" Kaldur states.
Kaldur and M'gann came rushing in the gyms.
M'gann walks over to Superboy "Superboy, are you alright?"
"I'm fine. Feeling the aster" Superboy glances over at Robin smiling and he smiles back.
"Hey. Where's Ivo?" Wally asks.
No one answers his question but they did hear a soft moan. After disassembling Amazo, Robin races over to Mia with Kaldur and M'gann right behind him.
"How you feeling Mia?" Robin softly asks.
"Like I got a monkey banging my skull with a hammer" Robin softly chuckles at her analogy "What happened?"
"Amazo has been defeated" Kaldur answers.
"And Ivo?"
"He's gone" M'gann responds.
Mia stood up too fast "The next time I see him, I'm going to-" and she falls over but Kaldur caught her just in time.
"You will not be doing anything except getting medical attention" M'gann scolds.
Mia chuckles "Hey, I thought I was supposed to be the big sister around here."
"Well it's our turn to take care of you" Robin states.
"Ok you do that. I'm just going to close my eyes for just a second."
"NO!" Wally rushes over "You can't! You might have a concussion, you have to stay awake and I know just the thing."
"Oh no" Mia complained.
Mount Justice
August 4, 01:06 EDT
On the way back to Mount Justice, Wally talked up a storm to Mia in order to keep her awake and she didn't even close her eyes for a second because of him. When they arrived, all six of them debriefed Batman of the results.
"The Amazo android is in pieces again safely being analyzed at two separate STAR Labs but Ivo escaped, and since he originated the tech, he's arguably more dangerous than the android" Kaldur states.
"Capturing the professor will be a League priority" Canary comments.
"When you capture him, let me take a swing at him. I've got some unfinished business with him" Mia claims cracking her knuckles.
Everyone glances at her wondering what went down between her and Ivo.
"But we understand your mission encountered other complications" Manhunter says crossing his arms.
The Team looks to Superboy like You in trouble and he just looks away. Batman walks up to them.
"Complications come with the job. Your ability to handle them has impressed the League."
"The whole League?" Superboy asks.
"Given time, yes. Kryptonians, as you know, have very hard heads."
Superboy smiles at that.
"Well, looks like I have to give ol' Superman a talking to" Mia states rubbing her hands together.
The Team visibly paled with Canary and Manhunter looked stunned, Green Arrow silently swallows, Tornado 'looked surprised' and Batman had a very small smile on his face.
Batman continues "Of course, there's no shame in asking for help. That's why the League exists, because there are some problems even we can't handle individually"
"Please. If we needed help, we'd never get the chance to ask. Look familiar?" Robin asks showing an arrow "You were following us! Babysitting! You still don't trust us."
*smack* "Robin be more respectful" Mia chides.
"We didn't follow you" Batman states.
Green Arrow takes out his own arrow and shows the Team the difference between the two.
"And that's not your arrow, but that means-" Robin starts.
"Speedy!" Wally says.
"He has our backs" Kaldur concludes.
"Oh great Mr. Sunshine is back" Mia spat out crossing her arms.
Wally quickly runs over to Arrow and grabs the arrow from his hand "Souvenir."
"Wally!" Mia walks over and smacks his shoulder "Don't be so rude. Flash is influencing you way too much I swear."
Arrow and Batman have a silent conversation while Superboy talked to Canary. Afterwards Mia heads to the Med Bay with Canary to get her head checked out. Canary gives Mia an MRI and found no bleeding in the brain.
"Looks good Mia. You have a mild concussion and it's not too bad, just stay awake for now until I come by later in the day to check on your progress."
"Thanks Canary" Mia gets up from the bed and started to leave.
Before she left, Canary calls out "Mia."
She turns "Yeah?"
"How are you doing?"
"Is this the therapist talking or Black Canary?"
Canary laughs a little "Actually this is Ted talking. Recently I told him that you joined the Team and he wants to know how you're doing."
Mia smiles fondly "Tell him that I'm doing great and that I'm now the unofficial official big sister" she pauses "Does he know?"
"Yes he does."
"I didn't see him at the funeral but I was too far away to see anyone I guess. Will you send him a hug and a kiss for me?"
"Of course."
"Thanks Canary."
Mia leaves the Med Bay. For the rest of the night, Mia played Go Fish with M'gann and Superboy to keep her awake. A single thought was running through her mind at the moment "Ivo's lying, he had to be. There's no way that they're alive right? Miguel, Tulio, Anna Sophia are you three really alive?"
