First Day
"I thought you were the team leader though?" asked Kara
"No. I'm here to coordinate missions and teach you to two. I cant be team leader, that wouldn't be fair. We need to vote on this. I cast my vote for Robin."
"I vote Robin to." Said Wally
Dick was next, and he thought for a second. Wally wasn't mature enough, and Victor obviously didn't want to. Artemis was the least experienced so she was out. Now Kara or Donna? Donna was the safer choice, she could atleast control her strength and had probably the most martial experience oyt of them all. He didn't want Kara to hate him, but that's how he felt about this.
"I vote Donna."
Kara either didn't care, or was doing a remarkable job covering her emotions.
(Kara)
"I vote Donna."
Kara had no idea about what to think about Robin. He was trying to be nice, she could even see that. But something about him just brushed her the wrong way. She couldn't place it, but it might have had something to do the fact that he was trained by Batman, and in may ways acted like him. He was reserved and judged. That was it. He was judging her. Oh he could care less if he didn't vote her to be the leader, she didn't deserve it. But neither did he. Why Flash and Cyborg voted for him was beyond her.
"Kara. Your vote?"
This was obvious. Donna deserved to be in charge, more than Robin.
"I vote Donna as well."
"Donna, your vote?"
"I vote Robin."
And now it came down to Artemis. Her vote would either make this a tie, or give robin the win. Unfortunately she suspected she was going to vote Robin, especially if he was her idol. She supposed that made a lot of sense. Robin and Artemis had no powers, they were just normal people. But Kal had shown her that people don't need to have gifts all the time. Sometimes regular people worth enough determination can make all the difference in the world. Batman and Green Arrow didn't have superpowers, but they still were an integral part of the Justice League. Kara was beyond willing to give Artemis her friendship. But she was questioning if Robin deserved it.
(Robins POV)
"I'm sorry Donna, but I vote for Robin. I'm sorry."
"It is fine sister, I hold no ill will against thee."
"Then its settled, a vote of 4-2, Robin is team leader. I'm sending you a pdf on what your job involves."
Robin looke at his wrist. On it, she saw a special computer mounted on it. That looked nifty enough.
"What is that on your wrist Robin?" Kara asked
"It's a computer. I use it to hack and download information in Gotham. Currently its upgraded to also act like a regular computer."
"Now that that all set up, we don't need to do anything else. If I were you guys, go check out your rooms. Ill let you know if we get an op."
Everybody except for Cyborg walked down the hallway to the housing wing of the fort. Each room had a name above the door, Donna, Kara, Artemis, Kid Flash and Robin. There were a few extra room's that didn't have a name above them, which Dick assumed were for new members if they could recruit any.
Wally was next to him in a second ready to chat it up. He could see that he had at least 2 friends here.
"Hey Rob, get into your room yet. I saw mine already. Flash gave me a lot of books. He gave me a treadmill though so that's nice of him."
"Uhh… I'm going into my room right now."
He opened the room to a pretty baren room. A desk had a pretty large computer on it, it looked like one of the computers from one of the satellite bases. He had a bed, a uniform stand, a washer and dryer, a small tv and weight rack with a bench. What was he saying, this was a really nice set up! He was comparing this to the Batcave, but if you compare anything to the cave, its going to come up short.
"Wow, Batman sure does care about you man."
"Yeah. He does." For all the Flaws that Bruce had, he was concerned about him. And that's what really mattered."
"Yeah. How's your room look?"
"I mean it's almost the same. Uncle Flash, got me a new laptop, but even more books."
"Yeah, Batman got me some big epics and lot's of philosophy books."
"Sounds rough. Do you think their serious, about keeping a 3.0?"
"It was batman's idea, what does that tell you?"
"Damn. I'm going to start studying. I have a test tomorrow in math, geometry."
"Ok man. I have to look over some of these rules here. Team leader and all that."
Wally left the room, and as soon as the doors shut, he turned the lock on. He would go talk to Donn, Kara, Artemis and Cyborg later. Right now, he wanted to talk to look over the rules that the justice league set up for them.
Opening the file on his new computer, he started to read what was being said
To the team leader of the Justice League Black Op's division team leader.
Congragulations, you have been elected the leader of the new JLBOD. You have many resposibilites, and as team leader, you have full control of the team in the field. Cyborg has been elected by the memberes f the Justice League as your guardian, he is responsible in the fort. In the field you are held responsible for all actions of every member.
This is a Black Ops team, your engagments are discreet. You are to avoid any and all media, until such a time when the League deems it acceptable for you to bee seen in the public eye
As you should very well know by now, there is a strict no killing policy in the Justice League. You have all been for the most part trained and should hold this value of life above all else.
This also adheres to the destruction of public and private property. Actions should be held to minimize collateral damage.
As preveoulsly told to you, the students must be in attendance when any of the primary members of the league have a scheduled meeting ahead of time.
There is a strict no drug policy, esp. Robin, Kid Flash and Artemis.
Schooling is a mandatory. For Robin, Kid Flash and Artemis, this means going to class. For Donna and Kara, Cyborg will be your teacher, as he is aware of all information, and no longer is required to go to school.
Of this, Robin, Kid Flash and Artemis are required to maintain a 3.0 grade minimum, and for Donna and Kara, Cyborg will evaluate you on a monthly basis.
Recruitment will be up to you, but their membership will be voted upon by members within the League
Any other orders will be relayed to you upon further notice.
The rest was a signature from all of them. Ironically they were all the logos. The Shield of EL, the bat signal, the Arrow, the Trident, The hawk, the Lantern emblem on the ring of Green Lantern, The lightning bolt, The Twin Eagles from Wonder Woman, The strange Symbol from the Manhunter
Dick unlocked his door, only to find a floating Supergirl in the frame of his door. She was no longer in her costume, but now in a pair of slippers, black sweatpants and a white tank top with the sigil upon it. Her hair, he realized was actually fairly long, coming to the center of her back. She was tall to. Dick realized that puberty had yet to hit him or Wally, he stood about 5'5 as it were, Wally not much taller. Maybe it was because she was a Kryptonian, but she was maybe 5'9 currently. Donna wasn't much taller, maybe 5'10. Artemis was about 5'7. Cyborg didn't count. He was 21 in human years, but Christ alive, he was big as a house, easily 6'1. But back to Kara
"Robin."
"Supergirl."
"I'm sorry about today. I truly am."
"Its fine Kara. I understand."
"Robin, I was upset when Donna was not voted team leader. I think that she is better for it than you are. It is of no dishonor to you, of course. She is a better warrior than you are."
"Theres no doubt about that Supergirl. Donna is an Amazon, she is a little mirror of Wonder Woman, who held her own against your cousin, when he wasn't exactly holding back. Leadership is not about being the strongest. I need to know how to most effectively utilize all of our skills so we can best succeed."
"I understand. I wanted to voice my opinion of the situation. Goodnight Robin." And she floated away, down the hall to her room. This corridor was arranged boys across from girls. The split down the hall, left for girls, right for boys. His room was the furthest right, her's the furthest left. He still had the uniform on, but it was 11:00 at night. Right now, he'd be coming in off of his last patrol with Barbra. Bruce didn't like keeping them out late, especially for school nights. But here was different. He didn't know who he could trust here. Kara was iffy, and Donna was to. They were nice, but he didn't know if they were 100% trustworthy yet. Wally was the closest to his confidence. Artemis worried him, she seemed the type to freak out all fangirl if he told her, and then they saw each other on the street. As For Victor, he was 99% positive he knew his identity already. The only identity he didn't know was Artemis. Everyone else had already exposed each others to one another. He and Artemis were the only ones.
Speaking of Cyborg, He was walking down to him. There was a mainframe, very similar to the one back home. Cyborg was plugged in, some wires he had on his arms, that locked themselves in. He walked down. As team leader, he wanted to make sure he knew everybodys bilities inside and out.
"Robin. Nice to see your still up. What's up?"
"I need your help Cyborg."
"What do you need?"
"I need to know the teams strengths and weaknesses. If im supposed to be the team leader, then I need to know my troops."
"Hmm… I see. Give me until tomorrow and I'll have your information. What kind of information do you need?"
"I need a list of abilities, strengths and weaknesses for all of them, including yourself. Psychological, emotional, physical, everything."
"Alright then. I see how Batman looks at things."
"I bet you've probably seen his files, all things considered of how you see al electronic information. He has an analysis on everybody in the League, and all of its potential members." Dick looked at Vic with a eyebrow half cocked
Vic grinned "I would be lying if I said I haven't. Ive only looked at 2 or 3 files, specifically members who could join the team."
"Like who?"
"Oh, that's for me to know, and you to not find out." Victor was a smart ass sometimes. He loved being the smart guy, knowing almost everything without even trying."
"Alright then. Has Batman sent any operations?"
"No, nothing. He did send a message though, Your out of school for the week, you broke your arm and leg."
Bruce was very nice like that. Even still, he always made up his work. Not that it was particularly hard, Bruce often gave him tests that college students take, and he often did exceptionally well.
"Alright then. Since im not doing anything tomorrow, or the rest of the week, do you wanna relax and play some madden?"
Victor grinned and laughed. "HAHA, man Rob, you don't know what your getting yourself into. I got the Giants."
"Alright, ill beat you sily with the Chargers you big blue bum."
And so, Victor played him through the night. And he lost. 3 times he tried, and 3 times he failed to even make Victor turn the ball over once, where as he threw 6 interceptions, and lost 3 fumbles. Victor would have, if he had gone to college, probably made a hell of a coach. But that was one thing that he didn't worry about. Right now, he was having fun with Victor. His new friend.
The next morning came around. Dick did not want to get up, but when somebody called, he answered, especially when he thought it was Bruce. He answered, and not surprisingly enough, it was Bruce.
"Wake up. There's an Op for you wich I will be initiating in a few hours."
"Whats the details? What are we doing?"
There was no answer. Bruce had already hung up.
Dick got dressed, he put on his uniform, and his mask. He walked out, and victor was sitting at a mainframe in the cave.
"Cyborg, can you send a message to everybody else. We have an op."
"Already done, I heard the Call."
Before he could even respond,..
"Hey Rob, Where are we going?"
"Dont know yet. Batman will be here in a little bit to tell us.
Artemis came out next, she didnt even say anything. She poured a bowl of cereal, and made some coffee, she looked, very tired. Donna floated in a few minutes later, looking already awake ad limber. She poured a bowl herself, and sat next to Artemis, and they started to talk.
Kara came in, and floated herself towards Cyborg. She wasnt wearing her aror that she had worn the other day, but a very very strange looking gown. It looked to be made of a silver and gold alloy, and appeared far to big to actualy stay on her, but it did. She looked like a mess, like she couldnt sleep, but then again, she was related to superman, and his senses were sharp like a knife. Any sound would probaly wake her up.
"Hey Rob come on, sit down and eat." Said Flash. He had a bowl of cereal in his hand, and was extending it to him.
"Thanks"
Robin sat down, across from Donna and Artemis.
"So why the bow?" Donna asked.
"It's unique. My uncle taught me since I was like 5 or 6. When I was 12, Green Arrow found me, there was a homicide occuring at an Archery competition I was at. I took my Bow, and sired a few arrows, hi a few people in the shoulders and Arms, i didnt want to kill anybody. I would have been killed if it werent for Arrow saving me. After that, he trained me, and so here I am."
"Interesting. Where are you from again?" He asked her
"Im from Central City, Arkansas born and raised."
"Robin, I'd like to know where you hail from."
Wally butted in again, this time with 3 stacks of pancakes in one hand, and a massive bowl in the other. "He's from the deep Black Hole where Batman Came from, monsters come out of there." That got a laugh out of Donna and Artemis, and he himself cracked a grin.
"Actually, I never really had a home. I used to be apart of the circus. My parents died when we were in Gotham, and one Night, Batman just happened to be around. He took me in and just started to train me."
"How long ago was that?"
"About a year and a half ago." Saying that, he knew Cyborg heard him, and he was almost positive he knew that he was running a scan on his backround, and probaly had figured out his real identity. In fact he figured it was safe to assume Cyborg knew all their identities, age, height weight… just everything. H eshook his head, he over thought everything,and decided to move it on to somebody else.
"How bout you?" he directed towards Kid Flash "Where'd you come from?"
"I would like to know how you got your powers of Hermes. Diana tells me your mentor received them in a science accident? is you story the same?" Donna Asked
"Well im from Central City, same as big Flash. and funny enough i got my powers same way as him. bunch of chemicals spilled on me when lightning struck them when i was on a tour in Central City Police headquarters. My aunt is dating an officer in there, and he wanted to give me a tour. The chemicals hit me and 'BAM' powers developed."
"We can continue this chat Later, Batman and Wonder Woman will be here shortly." said Cyborg, who had not moved from his spot.
"Everybody get dressed who didn't, we need to look ready. And Batman will kill me if we look sloppy." I said
"Then maybe I shouldn't. " he could hear Kara mumble
"I might not be able to hear as well as you can, but i know I heard that SG."
"And what are you going to do about it small fry?" she said back
"Just get dressed so your cousin dosent need to come here." and at that, Kara floated off.
No more than five minutes later, they were all ready. Wally was stretching out, Kara and Donna were going over hand to hand slowly, Artemis was fixing her arrows, and setting up her trick Arrows. And he was standing next to Cyborg looking at possible missions.
"So which one do you think were going to get?" Victor asked
"No idea, all these look like a viable option."
"Incoming, Watchtower 2 and 3; Batman and Wonder Woman"
A flash of light, and they were there. How they figured out how to do this, he would never understand
"Everybody take a seat, and listen up." Said Batman. everybody st down. A display screen came down from the ceiling. Up poped an image of Khandaq, and he knew what mission they were doing.
"This is Khandaq, the North Korea of Africa. Last month, 6 journalists were taken hostage after taking pictures of riots in Shiruta. They were taken to a camp 20 miles east of the Egyptian border. The official statement from Khandaq is that there are no negotiations of any sorts. The Justice League cant go in there, because that would cause an international controversey. Thats why were sending you."
"You will be entering by invisible jet, Donna, you know how to fly it correct?" Said Wonder Woman.
"Yes."
"Your objective is to extract the hostages. Robin, I believe you know the rules that were set for you?" Batman Asked
"Yeah, Avoid loss of life and Collateral damage, avoid detection if at all possible."
"That last point is more vital in this situation. Khandaq will not respond kindly if they capture any of you. So be careful."
"Questions?" asked Wonder Woman
"If somebody is captured, or if something should happen, who can we call upon in the watchtower?" Asked Cyborg
"Martian Manhunter, Green Arrow and Hawkman are on station today."
"Understood."
"Anything Else?"
Nobody said anything.
"The Jet will be arriving in an hour, be ready." Batman said as he was walking back to the teleporter. Wonder Woman looked around. When Batman left, she stood in front of the team and started to talk to them.
"What have you decided upon your name?" She asked
"We voted and fixed upon the Titans." said Cyborg
"Interesting. Donna I assumed you put forth this notion."
"Yes ma'am."
"Well then, I was only curious. Good Luck today."
And with Batman and Wonder Woman left.
Cyborg got up, and walked to the same screen as Batman was just at. He swipped left and right, pulling up images of what he assumed the compund was, and showed the 6 reporters they needed to resccue.
"Ok Rob. Take a look, and make a plan. We have one Hour, everybody stay here. I have something that might be of some use." And he walked back towards his room, which was in the main room.
Looking at the compound, he saw that there was no way they could pop the back and take the hostages and get out, the back of the compound was against a mountain. The compound had 2 ways in best he could tell. One was to the left side, which was the quickest, but also was where a lot of traffic came out of, and was closest to the tanks and armored vehicles, which could pose to be a problem to him and Artemis. The front of the compound, which was probably safest and also the farthest.
"What are you thinking Robin?" Asked Donna.
"I'm thinking how to best approach this. The safe way or the dangerous way."
"What is the problem?"
"Well the closest wayy to the hostages is on the side. but its also next to an compound. Bunch of tanks and the sort. We go the long way, it could take longer, but we avoid the Kandaqians that way."
"Isnt the job supposed to be little collateral damage?" Asked Artemis.
"Yeah, but thats besides the point. If we cause an issue, we can divert them. Kara how good is your heat vision how well can you control it?"
"Fairly well, Why?"
"If you cause an issue, they have to respond. When they do, we can go in, get out and be done. You Fly off and we all go home."
"What if i get caught?"
"How?"
"What if they capture me? Let us just say."
"Ill get you if something happens." Said Kid Flash
"Alright then."
"It's settled. Kara, you are going to be a distraction, Artemis, Kid Flash, Donna and myself will go in and get the hostages."
"And what about me?" commented Cyborg, he was carrying several red spots.
"You're the clean up. Something goes wrong, you can get there."
"Alright. Here, these are camouflage devices. They help blend you in." He put one on himself, and pushed it. His armor started to turn black and dark grey. The blue tuned itself down and in General, he stuck out less.
"Wow, cool!" said Artemis. Her armor as a whole turned black, along with her arrow's and bow.
"Nanites. they attach to whatever isnt human skin or tissue.
Wally had his Armor turned black and grey, except for his symbol on his chest. Donna had her Shirt turned black, and her blouse turned black except for her stars. Kara's Armor tuned Black, the gold turned white and her red dulled, almost Burgundy. His Armor turned all Black.
"It works. Good. The Jet will be here in one hour. Be ready."
