A/N: so I've had writers block for this story...and now ia have writers block for my other one...I just can win... Enjoy (:
Disclaimer: I don't own young justice or veggietales or whatever I bring up in this chapter...except the idea...that's all me
"Kaldur'ahm," Black Manta's voice says over the pager. "I am putting you in charge of your old team. You may plan their demises, keep the prisoner as a hostage, she may still be of use to us." He says
"I HAVE A NAME!" I shout, Kaldur covers my mouth, obviously not wanting me to yell the pants thing again.
"Thank you father, this is a great honour." Kal says respectfully and removes his hand from the switchboard.
"Annika, you are creative, can you think of anything?" He asks me
"Uh, NO!" I yell obnoxiously, he exhales slowly.
"Annika, I'm not as amazingly talented as you, at annoying people or choosing their fates." Kal says trying to flatter me.
"Flattery," I say "Will get you no where, Kallie" I say, he sighs again and rubs his temples.
"I'll throw you in a pod if you don't help me!" He says intimidatingly
"Ha! If you could, you would." I say smirking
"True." He says
"Ok, so you've tried, flattery, intimidation, and simply agreeing with me." I smile "Anything else?"
"Yes, I will detonate a bomb in Mount Justice if you refuse me further." He says
"Fine, fine." I say "But I must warn you, you will NOT enjoy this."
"Why will I not-" he starts
"I think this will be best expressed through, song" I smile saying the last part dramatically
"Oh" Kal says sulking, I smirk
"Oh no, what you gonna do? The king likes Anna more than you or you,"I sing motioning toward Kaldur and Tigress. "Oh no what you gonna do? You gotta get her out of here."
"What does this have to do with-" Kal asks
"We could throw them in the dungeon, we could let them rot in jail. We could drag them to the ocean have them eaten by a whale." I sing joyfully
"Annika, I appreciate the help, but do you have to sing?" Kaldur asks me
"Yes. We could, throw them in the Tigris*, let them float a while, and we'll all sit back and watch them meet a hungry crocodile. Put them on a camels back, and send them off to Ur, with a cowboy hat without a rim, and a boot without a spur. We could give them jelly donuts and take 'em all away. Fill their ears with cheeseballs and their nostrils with sorbet. We could use them as a footstool or a table to play scrabble on, then tie them up, and beat them up, and throw them out of Babylon!" I sing
"Annika, where is Babylon?" Kal asks me
"Really?! That's what you are wondering?!" Tigress yells
"I'm not sure where Babylon is Kallie," I say smiling "And obviously Kallie is getting used to me, and my weirdness."
"Ok, Annika, I'm going to get a pad of paper, you stay put and think." Kal says walking out.
"Ugh finally!" I say walking toward the control panel. I press a button, hoping for random guards.
"Uh, hello, what sector is this?" I ask making my voice deep like Kaldur's.
"Sector 7, do you have a cold Kaldur'ahm?" The guard says
"Hah! No, it's Annika," I say my voice normal again.
"The captive?" The guard asks
"Ahem, I have a name you know." I say annoyed
"My apologies, Annika, my name is Ramour" the guard says
"Hey Ramour, can you do me a favour? Can you find out why Manta Man still wants me here?" I ask making myself comfy in Kaldur's seat.
"I already know, Annika, he believes you are weak, that your bond with Kaldur'ahm will make you believe that Kaldur is still a good guy." Ramour says
"Why thank you, can I call you Rammy?" I ask smiling
"Uh sure." Rammy says
"Hey, wait, I may or may not have a boyfriend." I say firmly.
"What? What are you talking about?!" Ramour says
"Ugh! Sicko!" I yell into the microphone. "I'm hanging up on you Ramour, you are too awkward." I say annoyed, but hiding my laughter. I choose another button.
"Hello, this is Tigress, what sector is this?" I ask talking like Tigress
"Sector 4 Tigress." The guard says simply. I can tell he's not gonna be any fun.
"Wanna hear a joke?" I ask using my own voice again.
"Uh, okay" the guard says
"YOUR FUTURE!" I yell over the microphone "Badum-tss" I say mimicking a drum.
"Wanna hear another joke?"
"Not re-"
"The fact that you think you'll win!" I say laughing obnoxiously "Wanna hear one last joke?" I ask
"No!" The guard says
"Knock - knock." I say
"Who's there?" The guard asks reluctantly
"Banana"
"Banana wh-"
"Knock-knock"
"Who's there?"
"Banana"
"Banana wh-"
"Knock-knock"
"Who's there?"
"Banana"
"Banana wh-"
"Knock-knock"
"Who's there?"
"Banana"
"Banana wh-"
"Knock-knock"
"Who's there?"
"Banana"
"Banana wh-"
"Knock-knock"
"Who's there?"
"Banana"
"Banana who?"
"Knock-knock"
"OH MY GOODNESS, IM HAVE HAD IT UP TO HERE WITH YOU! JUST TELL ME WHO'S THERE!" The guard yells
"Banana" I say trying to contain my laughter he calms down and responds
"Banana who?"
"Knock-knock"
"Who's there?" The guard says sighing
"Orange"
"Orange who?"
"Orange you glad I didn't say banana?" I finish the lame joke and practically die of laughter from how annoyed this guy got.
"Badum-tss" is the last thing I say before hanging up on this guy too.
"Hmm, my iPod has almost lost its charge, it's down to 20%" I say aloud pouting "No matter, I shall find an electrical outlet!" I yell taking my charger from my pocket.
"If I were an electrical outlet, where would I be?" I ask walking around the room. "Ah! Found one!" I say unplugging a grey cord that was plugged into the wall. I plug my iPod cord in and hear the glorious sound that means its plugged in. I take my iPod and walk as far as the cord allows, making it all the way to the control panel. Perfect! I look for the speaker button as I sit down in Kaldur's chair, putting my feet up on the desk. I take the microphone and lean back in the chair, making myself comfy.
"HEY, HEY. HEY! This is MC Anna, coming to you live from- wouldn't you like to know." I say over the PA to the guards in my best radio voice. "Now listen up! I'm gonna play some beautiful music and ya'll are gonna dance like there's no tomorrow!" I say into the PA "And don't worry, Manta man can't see or hear you." I say putting on the music. I look at the video feed and smirk as I see a few guards actually dancing, and some are trying to contact Manta Man. "Uh, uh, ah, you can't contact Manta, silly, don't you think I'd unplug the receiving comm link? Silly Billy!" I say happily into the microphone, I smile when I see a record button on the remote, i click it and smile as all the dancing is being recorded. I hear footsteps coming toward my position and I quickly turn off the music from my iPod and grab the microphone "This is MC Anna, signing off, stay awesome!" I say quickly as Kaldur walks into the room.
"I am sorry Annika, I was unable to find any paper." He says sadly
"Well, you can't win them all Kallie, you tried your best." I say smirking. Kaldur smiles gratefully at me and sits in his chair, he gently takes the microphone,
"All sectors report." He demands, as I hold in a laugh.
"Uh Kallie, I think they are too busy," I say replaying the recorded dancing from before. Kaldur looks wide eyed at the screen and I simply smile and sit down.
