This is the chapter where Danny shows off his amazing martial arts skills! I would like to note that not all of it he learned during his solo career. Some of it he was forced to learn in the Unknown Year (that's right. I gave it a name cause you people keep asking me about it)! FANTASTICO!
And for people who want to know about Dani: She will come in eventually. Again, I started this in November and didn't really plan on putting her in but so many people want to see her so she'll show up eventually! Like after, ch.24 eventually. Yeah... Like I said, didn't plan for her to show up but you guys have inspired me. Again.

Ch.4: Schooled
Metropolis: August 3rd, 07:38EDT
It was a normal day in Metropolis, and cars and buses were driving over the bridge to get to school or to their work. Then it became not so normal when the suspender cables snapped, and fell to the road. Cars swiveled around crashed into the sides or into other cars. A corvette hit a school bus, causing it to break the concrete guard rail, and start to fall.
Bruce Wayne was watching from the disaster from his office. He walked over and opened the copper head of William Shakespeare and pressed a button. A drawer opened revealing the Bat-suit. He looked at it for a minute before hearing something. He looked outside.
Superman flew across the water, and under the bridge. He held the bridge up and used his heat vision to weld the metal supports back together.
Superboy came flying out of nowhere and landed on the ground, breaking Superman's concentration. Superboy ran to the side, picked up a car, and moved it off to the center, not knowing Bruce was watching.
The school bus was about to go over the edge now. Superboy quickly grabbed it, and pulled it up some, but fell back and landed on his butt. He looked up and saw Superman holding it.
Once he landed, Superboy got up and walked right up to Superman.
"I had that." He said defensively.
"I didn't want to take the chance. As it is, your landing could've destabilized the entire bridge." Superman informed.
"It didn't." Superboy defended.
Superman looked at him sternly. "But it could have. We don't know yet the limits of your powers."
Superboy looked away with an abandoned look. "Well, maybe… You could, you know, help me figure that out."
Superman looked away for a split second. "Batman's got that covered." He said, before is com beeped.
"I know but-"
"Superman… Wait, Arrow, slow down. What's attacking? No, I'm defiantly available." Superman said, totally missed Superboy's forlorn look (that son of-). "Co-ordinates? Acknowledged. I'm on my way." The call ended, and Superman looked back Superboy.
"Sorry, Super… Boy, duty calls." And with that, Superman flew away. Superboy looked sad for a minute, then angry.
As Superman flew towards his next mission, his com beeped again. Superman pressed it.
"Already got the alert Bruce." He said.
Bruce watched from his office. "I know, Clark. But we need to talk."
Superman took his hand away from his earpiece and continued flying.
Mount Justice: August 3rd, 13:06EDT
Aqualad and Kid Flash played holographic hockey. Aqualad lost miserably. Megan, Robin, and Danny were watching with only semi-interest.
"Recognized. Superboy; B05."
Superboy walked out of the Zeta-portal angrily, and walked right through the holographic table, making it disappear.
"Hi Superboy, how was Metropolis?" Megan asked but Superboy ignored her.
They heard someone clear their throat. They looked to the side and saw Black Canary and Martin Manhunter.
"Ready for training, everyone?" Black Canary asked.
"Black Canary! Uncle J'onn!" Megan said happily and walked over and hugged her uncle.
"M'gann, I was… in the neighborhood. So, I thought I'd see how you are adjusting." Martian Manhunter explained.
"A few bumps but I'm learning." She informed.
They missed Superboy's forlorn look, and he tried to leave.
"That's all I can ask." Martian Manhunter said.
"Stick around, class is in session." Black Canary said, noticing Superboy trying to leave. The clone turned around wordlessly as Canary stepped into the middle of the room. The floor under her lit up, and she turned to the rest of the teens that had gathered.
"I consider it an honor to be your teacher. I'll throw a lot at you. Everything I've learned from my own mentors and my own bruises." She said as she took off her jacket, revealing a bandage.
"What happened?" Megan asked worriedly.
"The job, and Danny's training session I had with him earlier on." Everyone looked at Danny who was rubbing his neck with a nervous smile.
"Uh… It wasn't my fault…?"
Canary gave him an amused smile, before speaking.
"Now, combat is about controlling conflict; putting the battle of your terms. You should always be acting, never reacting. I'll need a sparring partner."
Kid Flash immediately raised his hand. "Right here! Yeah!"
He walked onto the platform, snacking on a banana. Danny rubbed his hands together. "This is going to be so good!" He said evilly. He got a video-recorder from grandmother knows where.
"After this," Kid Flash started as he threw his banana away. "I'll show you my moves." He said.
He was practically hitting on Black Canary (does he have a death wish?).
The woman clad in black gave him an amused smile before throwing a punch. Kid Flash deflected it. Then she did a leg sweep he couldn't dodge.
Danny started laughing very hard, holding the camera at Kid Flash.
"It hurts so good." Kid Flash said, very much so in pain.
"Good block, but did anyone see what he did wrong?" Canary asked the rest of the class.
"Oh! He hit on teacher and got served!" Robin said, and he and Danny high-fived. The hybrid was taking an insane amount of pleasure from this.
"Dude!" Kid Flash said.
"He allowed you to dictate the terms of the battle." Danny informed.
Canary nodded. "Correct, Danny." She said.
"Oh, please."
Everyone turned to Superboy.
"With my powers the battle is always on my terms. I'm a living weapon and this is a waste of my time." He said harshly.
"Prove it." Canary said. Superboy walked forward, and crossed his arms in front of her. The two got in a defense stance. Superboy delivered the first punch. Canary grabbed him and flipped him. Robin and Danny laughed out loud at him, but both Megan and Aqualad elbowed them in the ribs. The two put their hands over their mouths, trying (sarcasm implied) to muffle it.
Superboy got up and growled. Canary looked at him with a hand on her hip.
"You're angry. Good, but don't react. Channel that anger into-" She didn't have time to finish as Superboy charged. The clone tried to punch her, but she jumped over him, and leg swept him, knocking him out of the game again.
Danny and Robin continued to laugh behind their hands, as everyone else cringed. Danny was also still recording.
Canary tried to help him up, but he refused her hand.
"That's it! I'm done!" He shouted.
Canary placed a hand on his shoulder. "Training is mandatory."
Superboy threw her arm off him, and she glared at him. Then, an idea hit her.
"Have you guys seen Danny's powers?"
Danny paled, and everyone shook their heads. Canary smirked. "He could take on Superman and if he was good enough, he could take him down."
Everyone's mouths dropped open, and they looked at Danny.
"Canary, why?" Danny whined.
Canary motioned for him to come to her, and he complied.
"It was going to come out eventually. Anyway, his powers match that of Superman's, possibly even higher, because of their rarity and the fact that he is the only one who has ever had these besides two others. He also knows combat, which makes him exceptionally more of a dangerous opponent. Danny, you and me, practice."
Danny nodded, backed away some, and got in a defense position. Canary nodded.
"Your form is good." She complemented.
Danny nodded, totally into this spar, easily blocking the other teens from his mind.
Canary was the one who attacked first, to everyone's astonishment. They watched in amazement as Danny dodged all of Canary's attacks, even one's that were almost impossible to see coming. It was obvious Canary was agitated with Danny's dodging though.
"Danny, enough of the defense, you need to work on your offense. This is why we practice every day without anyone else." Canary said.
Danny dodged a few more attacks, before Canary sent a punch, which he grabbed to everyone's shock. He ducked under her, pinned her arm behind her back before kicking her back, sending her to the floor.
Canary looked at him with approval. "That was good Danny. Though you need to start fighting back."
Danny nodded, obviously not happy with fighting his friends.
"How… Did… You… DO THAT?!" Kid Flash yelled. Even Superboy was amazed.
"Uh…" Danny said, dumbstruck.
Canary laid a hand on his shoulder. "He kept the fight on his terms, even if it didn't look like it."
Robin scratched his head. "All he did was defense, though."
Canary nodded. "Yes, but he had me going every which way he could think of, tiring me out. I had to keep up with him, not him keep up with me."
Everyone blinked in surprise.
"I'm so happy I got this on film." Robin muttered under his breath.
Before anything else could happen, the giant holographic computer came up with Batman on it.
"Batman to the Cave."
All the kids came over, and no one was able to say a greeting before Batman started debriefing them.
"Five hours ago a new menace attacked Green Arrow and Black Canary. This 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."
"Wow, one guy with the powers of the entire League?" Kid Flash said ominously.
Batman ignored him and kept speaking. "In the end, it took eight Leaguers four hours to defeat and dismantle the android." He said.
"An android, but who made it? T.O. Marrow?" Robin asked, stepping forward.
"Good guess, Robin."
No one noticed Superboy's forlorn look again.
"But Red Tornado doesn't think so." Batman said.
"The technology bares the signature of Professor Ivo." Martian Manhunter said.
"Ivo?" Everyone looked at Danny. He had gained more confidence around the other teens with the time he had spent with them since the last mission. "Ivo's dead!"
Canary looked at the Ghost Boy. "So we all thought, or hoped."
Everyone turned back to the screen as Batman continued. "To make sure this threat is permanently neutralized, we're sending two trucks carrying the androids parts to two separate Star Lab facilities in Boston and New York for immediate evaluation. Every precaution is being taken. We'll have four additional decoy trucks to create confusion in case Ivo, or anyone else, tries to recover the remains. You will split into undercover teams to safeguard the two real trucks."
"Yes! Road trip!" Kid Flash said.
Danny was the only one who looked crestfallen. "I hate road trips."
Robin smirked. "Your bike finally came in."
Danny's sullen face brightened dramatically. "I take that back."
"So, now we have to take out your trash?" Superboy hissed, breaking the happy atmosphere.
"You have something better to do?" Batman questioned, eyes narrowed. Superboy looked away, angrily.
Aqualad's PDA beeped. "Co-ordinates received. On our way."
The team took off, Danny giving Batman a 'We have something to show you later' with Robin, and they took off laughing. If anyone noticed Batman looked slightly annoyed, no one said anything.
Before Superboy could leave though, Canary grabbed his arm.
"When you're ready, I'll be here." She said to him.
Superboy took off down the hall wordlessly. As he was walking, Danny fell in step with him. Superboy gave him a 'what?' look. Danny rubbed his neck nervously.
"Uh, Canary really helps. She's a really good teacher and stuff, she just has a funny way of showing it." Danny laughed nervously.
Superboy stopped and crossed his arms. Danny continued to laugh, but then he put his hood up and started walking away, head down. "Yeah, yeah, I know. I suck at words."
Superboy watched him leave with a regretful frown.
Litchfield County: August 3rd, 20:08EDT
The Leaguers watched the androids get packed up and put on the trucks going to Boston and New York. Superman turned around when he heard something. He used his x-ray vision and saw the teens on their bikes, hiding in the forest. Aqualad's motorcycle was a deep violet, Megan's was a lighter shade of purple, Kid Flash's was yellow, Robin's and Superboy's were red, and Danny's was black with white wheels. They were all wearing suits matching their colors.
Superman saw Superboy look at him, and turned away. Superboy angrily put on his matching helmet.
The three trucks started leaving and Batman gave the signal. Three trucks went in one direction, and the others went in the other. Danny, Robin, and Superboy followed one set, and Aqualad, Megan, and Kid Flash took off in another.
The older superheroes started leaving, but before Superman could, Batman laid a hand on his shoulder stopping him. "I told you; we need to talk."
As Robin, Danny, and Superboy were riding down the highway, Robin rode up beside Superboy and Danny.
"If dislike is the opposite of like, is disaster the opposite of aster? See, instead of things going wrong, they go right!" Robin explained excitedly.
Danny shook his head. "Will you stop butchering the English language please?"
Robin was focused on Superboy though. "Clearly, you're not feeling the aster-"
"Stop butchering the English language!"
"-What's wrong?" Robin asked. Danny looked at Superboy. "Yeah, seriously."
"Canary. I mean, what business does she have teaching combat skills to a guy with super strength?" Superboy said, angrily.
"Taking down stronger guys is part of the gig. Canary learned that the hard way, same with Batman, and well, me." Robin said.
Danny rode a little closer. "Me too, and I have super strength. You may not need combat for some guys, but then there are people like a guy named Vlad that you need combat for."
Superboy revved his bike and rode ahead.
"That went well." Danny said, sarcastically. Robin sighed. "Yep."
"Do you think Superboy's ok? I wasn't reading his mind, I swear, but anger flowed off him in waves." Megan said to Aqualad and Kid speedster laughed.
"Surf that wave, just give him space." Kid Flash said and drove closer. "Me? Stick as close as you want."
"Superboy just needs time to cool off. A quiet mission will clear his head." Aqualad said soothingly. Then the mission became not so quiet when robotic, annoying monkeys came out of a cornfield they were passing. They flew over to the truck and latched on. Aqualad pressed his com. "Robin, Phantom, Superboy, our truck is under attack!"
"Kind of figured!" Robin said, seeing his own truck attacked.
"I hate monkeys." Superboy said aggressively.
"Don't we all?" Danny asked sarcastically.
The poor driver was freaking out as the robotic, really annoying, constantly laughing monkeys attacked. He swiveled back and forth.
"Robot monkey's! Ha ha! Totally Ivo's tweak style!" Robin said gleefully and pressed a button on his handlebar. His bike went into battle mode, with one wheel for driving, and the other for taking out the monkeys. Danny did the same.
"Hey, switch your ride to battle mode!" Robin said to Superboy.
"No point." Superboy got closer to the truck and jumped on.
"Or not!" Robin said, jumping off his own to avoid crashing with Superboy's started falling. He tried to find his grappling hook, and when it looked like disaster, Danny grabbed him.
"You feeling the aster, Rob?" Danny said, laughing as he flew towards the truck. Robin glared at him. "Shut up!"
Danny let him off on the side and Robin started taking out ( the still really annoying) monkeys. On the top, Superboy was being swarmed but Danny ripped them off, and crushed their heads.
"Why won't they stop their stupid laughing!? My ears are bleeding!" The Ghost Boy complained.
Robin knocked another monkey off and when it tried to fly back, Danny's and Robin's flying tire thingy shot it. (Ah yes, gotta love battle mode.) They were quickly attacked by monkeys though sending them off course.
Superboy kept battling the stupid monkeys, and had one in his hand, when it shot him in the eyes. Superboy screamed and covered them, while more monkeys picked him up and brought him into the sky. They dropped him, but Danny quickly caught him by the shirt and gently set him on the ground before going back to the truck to help Robin, who was vulnerable on top moving truck with no backup.
Superboy opened his eyes but his vision was hazy. He closed them again and listened. He could hear the monkey's horrid laughter and Danny's 'Will you shut up already?!' and sprang up, creating a dent in the road as he did.
Aqualad took the handle of his bike out, revealing it to be his water bearer. He took some monkeys out with a stream of water, and more monkeys latched onto Kid Flash's and Megan's bikes. Megan jumped off and into the air, as Kid Flash got off and started running.
The monkeys were laughing, messing with the poor driver's mind, and using eye beams to open the cargo truck. They tore open the top, and dove in. The guards inside started shooting them, getting some but not all. Megan flew above them and took the remaining ones on the roof. Kid Flash took the side and punched and kicked the robots off, shutting them up forever.
Aqualad had the back, and easily took the monkeys out with his water bearers, letting the bike drive itself.
The truck driver was flailing back and forth on the road. Megan flew in front of the windshield and made extra limbs to beat off the androids. Then she flew forward and beat the monkeys off. The driver screamed upon seeing her. She flew out of the way and onto the top where Kid Flash had been taking monkeys off.
Kid Flash screamed, Megan did too; the limbs went back into her. More monkeys jumped out of the hole in the top, and attacked them as their fellow monkeys made a hole in the back. They flew out, holding the android's pieces. Aqualad stopped his bike and watched them go.
Robin beat another monkey away, and climbed to the top where Danny was fighting. The Boy Wonder busted out his eskirma sticks and started destroying the monkeys at close range. More came on and when Danny and Robin were about to charge, Superboy landed and started destroying them blindly. Two monkeys blew the tires with their beams and the truck became unstable.
Robin yelled to the driver to get out, and he helped him jump to the cornfield. Danny was there to break his fall with an ecto-plasmic cushion. Superboy clung to the top, even as the truck flipped. When it stopped, the monkeys flew away. (Curse them all.)
Robin exited the cornfield with the driver and Danny flew down to meet him. They watched the monkey's fly away.
"I hate em all. Hey Supes, you ok?" Danny asked, pushing the truck off him. Superboy got off panting. His hazy eyes saw the monkeys fly away.
"Uh… Superboy?"
Superboy didn't listen and jumped after them angrily.
"Superboy!" Danny and Robin yelled. They watched as Superboy jumped off, creating craters as you did.
"Aqualad to Robin; we lost our cargo. Did you?" Their leader's voice chimed.
Robin sighed. "It's gone, and so is our partner. At least Danny stayed."
"Aqualad to Superboy; radio your position. We'll help you." Aqualad said.
"I don't need help!" Superboy yelled angrily as he jumped after the freaks of technology, and took out his com. "I don't want any!"
As he landed he dropped the com.
"Superboy?"
"I think he ditched his com." Danny said over the com, to Aqualad.
"Super! Now we can't even track him!" Kid Flash yelled.
Megan took her hands from her head. "He's out of my telepathic range. This Professor Ivo, if he is alive, he seems to be two steps ahead of us. Maybe we should contact Red Tornado?" She asked uncertainly.
"Tornado always tells us to handle things ourselves and the mission can still succeed if we recover the parts before they're reassembled." Aqualad said.
"Well, that's a great plan, except for the part about us not knowing WHERE TO LOOK!" Kid Flash yelled.
"Maybe we do." Robin said.
"Yeah, and Kid, WE'RE ON A COM, YOU DON'T NEED TO YELL!"
Kid Flash, Aqualad, and Megan could practically hear Danny without the com.
Robin attached a wire to one of the monkeys that would never laugh again. He started typing on his computer.
"We would have heard by now if the decoy trucks had been attacked. How did these monkeys know exactly which trucks to target?" He asked himself. A 'decoding' signal came up on his computer, and then a holographic map came up.
"Ha! The parts have GPS! The monkeys can track the signal! Which means I can track them with the one I captured!" Robin announced excitedly.
"Uh… Robin. This monkey is never going to see the dawn's light again. It wasn't exactly captured." Danny commented. Robin smacked Danny, earning an 'Ow!', as he set back to work.
"Looks like both parts are converging at… Gotham City." Robin announced, unenthusiastically. Danny groaned. "Oh no."
"That far south? M'gann and I won't get there anytime soon. I'm sending Kid on ahead to meet you. Aqualad out." The leader of the Team informed.
Kid Flash put on his goggles, and took off down the road.
Robin picked up the monkey and waited.
"Remind me to ask Batman about one of those watches." Danny mused. Robin shrugged. "Ok."
He pressed a few buttons and his bike came towards him. Danny whistled and his bike came back too.
"Defiantly a disaster, heavy on the 'dis'."Robin commented. Danny sighed. "Yep."
Metropolis: August 3rd, 21:18EDT
Bruce Wayne and Clark Kent sat in Bibbo's Diner. They both ordered their food and then got down to business.
"Something tells me this isn't about dessert." Clark commented sarcastically.
"The boy needs you." Bruce said calmly, with a straight-to-the-point attitude.
Clark was quick to abject. "No, he needs you. He needs Red. I'm just a constant reminder of what he's not."
Bruce had other ideas. "Sorry Clark, but you're dead wrong." Clark looked at him confused, as Bruce got out his phone, and showed him a picture.
It was of Danny, and a little girl who looked exactly like him in Phantom form. Danny and the girl were looking at the camera with smiles and Danny was hugging the girl from behind, his face pressed to hers.
"This is Danny and his clone, Danielle." Bruce explained.
Clark looked at it surprised. Danny had such a fatherly look in his eyes; it was surprising from the teen he knew. The one always nervous and shy and semi-clingy to his mentor and adopted brother.
"Now, I know the boy troubles you, but he's here. You have to get over the how and why. Just like Danny did." Bruce continued.
Clark stayed quiet, looking at the picture.
"Trust me on this. This boy needs his father."
Clark got up. "I'm not his father." He said and left, taking his pie to go. Bruce watched him leave.
Gotham City: August 3rd, 21:21EDT
The monkeys holding the cases got on a train car where others were waiting. Superboy jumped onto the train, ripped open a hole in the top and jumped into it. He looked around and then to where the monkeys were laughing at him and where an old man stood.
"Oh, hello." The old man said.
"You? You're Ivo? I'm whelmed." Superboy said. (At least we know Robin's butchering is being used.)
"You're one to talk. Now, since when did the Big Blue Boy Scout have a brat?" Ivo questioned.
Superboy narrowed his eyes. "He doesn't."
Ivo shrugged. "Well, if you say so."
Then he asked if he met the monkeys, only in a more long, hard to remember, technological phrasing. But it came out with the initials, MONQI.
The MONQIs attacked, and Superboy started punching them, ultimately destroying them. (A/N: I wanted to come in with a bazooka and blast the whole frikkin car to pieces but, no, that's against the law.)
Ivo looked down at the head of a dismembered MONQI, and sighed. "And after all the trouble I went through finding an acronym for my MONQIs."
Two MONQIs came at Superboy at once and the clone crashed their skulls together and shut them up. (Thank you Superboy. You are a true hero.) The black-haired teen looked ahead at Ivo, panting.
"Access; Captain Atom."
Superboy's eyes widened and he was shot by Captain Atom's blast. Superboy looked up at Ivo.
"Since Professor Ivo's magnificent MONQIs don't float your boat, maybe my amazing Amazo would better suit you." Ivo said.
The droids name is Amazo. How bad could it be?
Superboy looked at the huge, gigantic, bulky, gigantic, huge, metal figure looking over him.
Ok, really bad, I guess.
"Or better, slay you." Ivo said. Superboy wiped his mouth from where he was crouching and got up.
"Give me your best shot."
Two MONQIs laughed. (A/N: The writer wanted to beat the crap out of them.)
"Please, my android has the strength of Superman. What chance do you have?" Ivo taunted.
Superboy ran forward, screaming, and tried his best to land a hit on the android. Amazo merely deflected them. Superboy did land one hit to his head though. It did nothing. Amazo grabbed an oncoming fist.
"Oh, sorry. Did that strike a nerve? Amazo, strike a few more." Ivo said.
Amazo punched Superboy, sending him to the wall and back to the floor. Amazo's eyes locked on Superboy.
"Access; Black Canary."
The android opened his mouth and a sonic scream was released. Superboy put his hands over his ears in pain and screamed. He flew into the back of the car, but got back up and rested on the wall.
"Access; Flash."
Amazo ran forward and started punching Superboy at speeds only known to the Scarlet Speedster and his yellow-clad apprentice. Superboy fell to the ground.
"Oh, no wonder daddy keeps you hidden away. You're not really doing justice to the S-Shield are you?" Ivo taunted.
Superboy got back up, and went to punch Amazo, anger gleaming in his eyes.
"Access; Martian Manhunter."
Amazo became intangible, and Superboy's punch went right through. Once the fist had passed, Amazo turned back and punched the clone out of the car.
"Access: Superman."
Amazo picked up Superboy, and held him up. Superboy tried to escape but couldn't. Amazo punched him to Kingdom Come.
Superboy broke through a window and knocked over a dozen desks at a school that he had only glimpsed while tracking the MONQIs.
Amazo turned to the sound of laughing MONQIs and saw Ivo standing in the hole he made.
"Finish him. Priority Alpha." Ivo commanded. Amazo jumped off the railcar to follow Superboy.
Robin and Danny were riding their bikes in battle mode when Kid Flash came up beside them in uniform. Actually, they all were in uniform.
"So, you changed too." Robin said.
"You kidding?" Kid Flash shuddered. "I feel naked in civvies. You still tracking the parts?"
Robin looked at his map. "They were heading through Gotham." Robin said.
"Were?" Danny asked.
"Yeah, but they veered. Wait, dude, they're at our school!" Robin yelled.
"What!?" Danny yelled.
Superboy was thrown into a case that had Dick Wayne Grayson's picture as he held an award for his schools gymnastic team. Another one was of Danny Wayne Fenton with a medal for his ice skating team, smiling shyly, but Superboy did not see this.
Amazo walked to him and picked up the prone figure of Superboy, and threw him down the hall, after spinning him around several times. Superboy got up, and saw a locker open up from damage. A picture of Superman with hearts around it was taped to the inside. He punched the locker, and then tried to do the same to Amazo. In the end, he was thrown into the science lab, Amazo flying right behind him.
"That… all you got?" Superboy said.
"Access: Captain Atom."
The blast sent Superboy through the wall and into the gymnasium. Superboy slid across the basketball court, when he heard clapping. He looked up and saw Ivo and two MONQIs in the stands.
"I don't usually attend these things in person but," Ivo laughed. "This was too good to miss."
"Access; Superman."
Superboy got up and charged at Amazo, but once again, Amazo kicked Superboy's butt to High Heaven and was about to have the killing blow when Kid Flash ran by and pulled him out of the way, saying 'yoink!'
Kid Flash stopped by Robin and Danny. The former let loose some bat-a-rangs.
"Access; Martian Manhunter."
The bat-a-rangs went right through him.
"Awesome, just great." Danny said with a frown.
"Access; Red Tornado."
A red vortex appeared around Amazo's legs and lifted him off the ground and towards the heroes. Not being able to move away in time, they were all thrown away.
"Access; Captain Atom."
Kid Flash ran away before the kinetic beam could hit him.
"Access; Black Canary."
A sonic scream hit Kid Flash and sent him across the floor.
"Superman."
Amazo grabbed Superboy's fist and punched him. Robin threw a few bat-a-rangs and Danny let loose a few ecto-blasts.
"Martian Manhunter."
Amazo, using adjustable limbs, destroyed the bat-a-rangs but the ecto-blasts created some damage. Kid Flash ran at him, and Amazo grabbed him.
"Superman."
Amazo started to suffocate Kid Flash by squeezing him. Kid Flash screamed. Something fired at him.
"Martian Manhunter."
An arrow soared through Amazo, releasing Kid Flash. The arrow landed near Robin. Kid Flash got up and ran away. Danny shot a few more blasts at Amazo, who turned around. Superboy was running up next to Danny.
"Access; Black Canary."
Amazo grabbed Superboy's arm and threw him into the bleachers. When the smoke cleared though, Superboy was on an ecto-plasmic cushion. Robin threw another bat-a-rang.
"Superman."
Amazo released some heat-vision, and Kid Flash tackled Robin out of the way. Danny ran forward and started hand-to-hand combat with Amazo. Unlike he did with Black Canary, he did not hold back. His movements were quick, harsh, and hard to keep up with. Where the Justice League failed, Danny achieved. He started to push back Amazo. Ivo was leaning forward in his seat. No matter what Amazo accessed, it could not counter Danny.
Superboy watched the fight and looked at his other two friends; Kid Flash and Robin.
"Access; Black Canary." He said to himself.
"Amazo, study the boy's movements!" Amazo tried but Danny was too fast for Amazo to study.
"You can try, but you won't succeed!" Danny taunted.
"Why didn't you study us!?" Kid Flash yelled. Ivo looked at him un-impressed.
"You and your friends, except this boy here, are such poor copies of the originals. Why bother?"
Superboy smiled. "So everyone keeps saying. It makes me angry!" Superboy jumped forward at an alarming rate, and right at Ivo.
Ivo and the MONQIs jumped out of the way, and where they once sat was nothing but rubble.
"You want to see me channel that anger!" He yelled.
"Great, he's gone ballistic again!" Kid Flash said.
"Maybe not…" Robin said. They heard Danny laugh from where he was fighting. "Nope."
"Amazo, protect your master! Priority Alpha!" Ivo jumped away from where Superboy almost crushed him again.
"Captain Atom."
Amazo fired, but Danny held up a shield.
"Oh no, you're mine!" The Ghost Boy yelled.
"Anyone wanna play keep away?" Robin asked running up, and kicking Ivo who was being held by his MONQIs.
"Me! Me!" Kid Flash yelled running.
"Access; Superman."
Amazo had to go for stomping the ground, creating a wave while he tried to fight his way to Ivo. Kid Flash jumped over Ivo and into the stands, the wave ultimately hitting Ivo. Robin and Danny threw a bat-a-rang and a ecto-blast, respectively.
"Martian Manhunter."
The blast and bat-a-rangs went through Amazo, but he became tangible just as Superboy's fist was in the middle of it. The head sparked for a minute, before exploding. Amazo dropped to the ground, headless.
"Help me disassemble him, now!" Robin said, running forward.
"Robin, the android has no head." Danny pointed out. Someone ran into the gymnasium. "Don't take any chances!" Aqualad said, Megan right behind him.
The Martian landed by Superboy, who was coming out of his haze.
"Superboy, are you alright?" She asked, grasping his arm. He smiled at her. "Fine, feeling the aster."
Robin smiled at him, and Danny let out a stifled laugh. "Great, now we're all going to butcher the English language. Oh! If rebuke means to express disapproval, does buke mean to express praise?" (Can't remember who I stole that from.)
"YES!" Guess who shouted.
Then Kid Flash noticed something. "Hey, where's Ivo?"
They looked around. He was gone.
Mount Justice: August 4th, 01:06EDT
"The Amazo android is in pieces again, safely being analyzed at the two separate Star Labs. But Ivo escaped, and since he originated the tech, he's arguably more dangerous than the tech." Aqualad debriefed.
"Capturing the professor will be the League's priority." Canary said.
"But we understand your mission encountered… other complications." Martian Manhunter said.
The Team all looked at each other. Danny's leg started bouncing in worry, as Batman stepped forward.
"Complications come with the job. Your ability to handle them has impressed the League." Batman informed.
Danny calmed down, once more.
"The whole League?" Superboy asked. Batman looked at him.
"Given time, yes. Kyrptonian's, as you know, have very hard heads." Batman joked in a monotone way. ("Good God, he made a joke!" -Jason Todd)
Superboy smiled.
Batman looked back to the group as a whole. "Of course there's no shame in asking for help."
Danny bit his lip, and tried to hide in his cloak.
"That's why the League exists because there are some problems that even we can't handle individually." Batman continued.
"Please, if we needed help, we'd never get the chance to ask. Look familiar?" Robin said and pulled out the arrow. "You were following us! Babysitting, you still don't trust us!"
Batman took the arrow, and gave it to Green Arrow.
"We didn't follow you." Batman said, as Green Arrow got one of his own arrows and compared the two.
"And that's not your arrow." Robin said, lamely. "But that means…"
"Speedy!" Kid Flash shouted.
"He has our backs." Aqualad said with a smile. Kid Flash ran forward and grabbed the arrow.
"Souvenir!"
Green Arrow and Batman shared a look.
"That's not Speedy's arrow, is it?" Danny whispered beside Batman. The Dark Knight looked down on him and narrowed his eyes.
You ok?
Danny looked away.
I don't know.
Superboy walked over to Canary and cleared his throat. The black clad woman looked at him.
"I'm ready." He said.
"Good, because I'm here." Superboy smiled at her, and she gave one back.
"I hope you don't mind if Danny helps me, do you?" Canary asked. Superboy shook his head and Canary's smile turned fond. "Great. Danny get over here."
The hybrid looked at them. "If he's ready to train, we are doing this tomorrow. It's like, one in the morning and I wanna go to bed."
Canary chuckled. "Alright, fine. Tomorrow then."
Danny nodded and looked away.
"Even if going to bed brings me back into the past I wanna forget."
So what'd you think? Was Danny kicking everyone's butt or what? {:D I love it when Danny is destructive (he has a perfectly good reason for being destructive too, so don't give me that look)!
Thank you for the people who favorite-d and/or followed: Raven angel of despair, EternalMadameBlaze, Dragonscorch, Marnes, Tammyway, BringBackDannyPhantom (your name rocks, dude), Mirria1, Dragonknight-Flameis, Artemis lover, Mai'shardstyle, KHfreak21, Mariannetom2, Warhawk'42, and Tails1213.
KuriMaster13: Actually, I enjoy it when my inbox gets flooded. I'd just thought I'd let you guys know. And, YOU WILL FIND THAT ANSWER OUT IN... I think the next chapter. But if it's not the next chapter, most likely the next chapter after that. WHOOP WHOOP!
Kilppari: Thank you so much! Your reviews always make me smile! And yes, I hate it when author's do that too. IT REALLY SUCKS. Now, if you could give me some ideas for my Justice Crossover that will happen in a few dozen chapters, it'd be much appreciated. :D And those fun facts... Wow. Just. Wow. Mind = blown. *claps* Hope to see you have something to say extremely helpful next chapter! :DDDD
Phantom Ice: *cackles* I'm just driving you insane, aren't I? My duty as a writer has been fulfilled! *dances in seat* And thanks so much! You people are really giving me something to look forward to everyday!
Guest(1): Haha, so happy you enjoy my sense of humor! Rude side comments, sarcasm, that kinda thing! :D Looks like we have something in common!
Lee: Your reviews... Always short and simple. :D Thank you!
KazeChi: Hahaha! Wait... You are talking about the training one, right? Cause it's in this chapter! :D (Danny has a lot of sessions to keep track of!)
Lexosaurus: Opened email. Saw your name: YYYYYEEEEESSSS! THANK YOU SO MUCH, DUDE! I LOVE LOVEEEEEE! YOU ALWAYS MAKE MY DAY! Anyways, I will fix those mistakes! They are actually really helpful! And come on. Meltdowns are always fun. He doesn't nesscarily have a meltdown fighting Canary, just holds back a ton until she more-or-less demands he attack her head on. And you don't just live in a place with people who thirst for your destruction without picking up a small thirst yourself. Take ME for example! :D And my favorite dino... I don't actually know. Never really thought about that question before... Hmmm... T-rex (it's so much easier to spell than it's full name). I saw a show one morning on them, learned a ton. They're actually really interesting!
Azorawing: Holy crap... You just came extremely close to what the heck the animal's are and what Danny can do with them. I APPLAUD YOU. *starts clapping in total and utter shock*
Supaherolena02: Hahaha! Thanks for making me happy with your reviews!
Dragonknight-Flameis: Hahahaha! Dude, just for you, I'll write something in one of the chapters after Season 1 that's all about random one-shots in Danny's life. I'll be sure to put Box Ghost in. :D
IWasNeverReal: I'm so happy I'm not in a library because HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Your reviews always make me laugh or smile or some other crazy thing! You are one of the people I look forward to reading your reviews the most! Thank you so much! And, as I told Lexosaurus, you don't hang out with people for a whole year who want to destroy your existence and not pick up a little destruction here and there! AND I LOVE DANNY/ROB BROMANCE! WOO!
Hitomi-Tama: Your welcome! And you won't be seeing too much of his issues in the therapy session cuz, well, he would give WAY TOO MUCH AWAY and, frankly, I wanna keep some secrets from you guys! It makes the story so much more fun! :D Please don't be disappointed!
Inviso-Al: Well, to answer your questions, I would scroll up and read the chapter again. :D I tease, I tease.
Hey guys, if anyone has an ideas on what's going to happen in the Justice League x-over later in the story, please tell me cause I am all out and need your people's help! THANK YOU! IDEAS ARE MUCH APPRECIATED!
