"Mind Flay" Normal talk

"Mind Flay" Telepathy talk

XCOM chapter 4

Canary and Michael were walking to the bank in civilian clothes. Stopping outside the bank a Michael opens the door for Canary. Walking through the door with Michael following, Michael than hazels eyes scanning the area, locating enter points, full cover areas and hazards areas.

"There is no need to be so tense, it a formality, nothing more" Canary smiles seeing Michael narrowing his eyes everywhere.

"Force of habit," Michael said, glancing at the woman before letting Canary lead the way.

Canary just chuckles as she leads them to through the bank. She heard about the mission on Santa Prisca, about how Michael sneak this way though all of Kobra fanatics and taking them out one by one without anyone realising it and using his powers to make a genetically enhanced human with incredible super strength and speed turn on both Cobra and Sportsmaster before knocking him out too. All without a single injury, it is a scary thought of how a teenager managed to accomplish such a feat on his own. Both Michael's abilities and tactics have drawn the attention of the entire League.

"Not just the League," Canary thinks as she walks up to the bank teller. "Hello, I am here to help my nephew open an account under the name Michael Thrawn."

The bank teller smiles, "I shall get the paperwork ready."

Michael waits patiently as the bank went to get the paperwork, thinking about how to use the funds he will get for the future.

While waiting for the paperwork Canary returns back her original thoughts.

While Kobra may be fanatical that believes himself to be a god, but the man is extremely dangerous in his own right. A day after being captured and placed in Arkham Asylum there was a huge bounty placed on the person responsible for the capture of Cobra. While many saw it was Mammoth causing the damage they know that the Justice League were involved somehow, even if they can't prove it. Michael's identity is unknown to Kobra however that doesn't stop them from putting a bounty on his head for 5 million dollars.

Batman is working overtime to make sure that Michael's identity remains a secret. It helps to know that no one knows he was there ever if they did they will only know Michael codename Outrider. When Canary as about why he chose the name Michael just said it belongs to a friend that was really close to him.

"Is there something you wish to tell me?" Michael asks seeing that Canary looks lost in her thoughts.

"No, I have a lot on my mind is all," Canary said.

Michael just speaks in a calm manner. "Batman told you already about my profession." Canary nods. "Then you aware what I use to do and know the kind of people I used to work for," Michael said "If you're doing to lie as lest put some effort into it as I deal with politicians that are the best at lying.

A small smile forms on her face. "I'll work on it," Canary smirks; perhaps there is hope for him after all.

Avenger

Michael wiping the sweat off his forehead after mopping the floor, while around him is Cyberdices holding various clearing gear wiping the area of the Bar/Memorial. Michael was surprised how fast it was to set up an account. Canary helped him set up a bank account and the League transferred seven hundred dollars into the account. Well since he lives in Australia that about $1010.68, 1 United States Dollar equals 1.44 Australian Dollar. So he gets $1010.68 in his bank account each month with $650 extra after each mission he completes. Not as much as when he worked with the Council of Nations were 1§ equals to about $100,000 in US dollars, but it's a start.

Right now he spent some of that money on cleaning supplies and other central resources, Michael, LookOut and the bots are using this time to fully clean all the rooms. Michael sits down on the bar chair tied after two full days of non-stop cleaning.

LookOut floated over to Michael carrying some cleaning tools with her tentacles. "Commander, the Cyberdices and the SPARKs have finally finished cleaning the Avenger, all rooms are now cleaned and every item is sorted in the proper place" LookOut explain while putting her tentacles inside her shell and sending the cleaning tools back to supply closet.

"Thank God," Michael said in relive, finally finish with all the cleaning. "What the stasis on all our equipment" Michael asking about current inventory.

"Well, all weapons have been sorted and accounted for; the equipment in the labs has been fixed, the Skyranger will need more time before it is fully repaired but the Behemoth is locked and ready to go." LookOut listed all the important equipment.

Michael thinks for a moment. All the weapons have been sorted and all the equipment repairs will be important in the future. Sadly the engines of the Skyranger still need to repair and unfortunately, he won't be using the Behemoth any time soon, and he hopes he doesn't have to.

"Honestly I don't know why the great Commander has reduced a robot design for war to be the janitor," A sarcastic voice said causing the Commander to sigh before reaching for a drink.

Walking across the room was none other Julian in his Red and Black SPARK body. Julian was once an enemy of XCOM, he is an artificial intelligence program developed by Dr Raymond Shen to control the XCOM base during the events of the first invasion in order to make the base A.I. more human in nature. Was once taken by Advent until he betrayed them, and then sent a signal to the Avenger that Lily answered. I was going to lead the mission myself until Lily and Bradford told me otherwise. In the end, Lily and a few of XCOM best had to face an army of prototype MECs and Julian in an old but powerful Sectopod body.

After that, we were able to gain new and strong friends in the form of SPARKs. Right now only 3 SPARKs are on the currently on the Avenger, besides Julian, theirs E3N Ethan and Penny Polendina. Julian SPARK body is the most tanker of them all, able to take the most damage.

"If you wish for is Julian, I can unload your program to a more suitable body for you to accurately use." LookOut said completely oblivious to the understanding of being sarcastic

"I was being sarcastic you artificial meatball," Julian said in irritation on LookOut before turning to face Michael "honestly Commander why do you keep this literal meat-bag around?" he questions

"Because unlike someone I know, she's actually helpful around here and is loyal enough to be able to handle some responsible independently." Michael answered with a sigh

"I could be just as helpful if you just" Michael cut him off "No Julian, the last thing I need is you in the Avenger's system." Michael said going over this over and over.

"Beside Lily gave you your own SPARK body, which you used with enjoyment whenever I sent you on missions." Michael keeps saying to the stubborn AI

"But I could be so much more being connected to more fatality's, while I like my new and improve body I feel like I could do more if you" Julian trying to explain

"Julian if I hear another word coming from you I will mute your voice and force you to listen to Ban the "Invisible" singing track" Michael threaten with Julian looking horrific

"Noooo please dear Commander, anything but that, I do anything but please don't put on that lunatic's voice anywhere near my audio receptors" Julian begs not wanting to hear Ban "Invisible" Reynard 'singing'.

Ban was a Grenadier, who could survive to matter what you put him through. Always running into trouble and coming out with only a few scratches. He loyal to a fault and has a Gene Mod that increase is healing capability's every time he takes damage. His only issue is his singing talent or lack thereof and his drinking habit. Whether he is in combat or just drinking he is always singing a random song and it gets on everyone nerves. Hell, he created a whole track of songs that some people buy, not sure how but everyone in XCOM hates it when he sings. Even Central tried to shot him one time only for him to regenerate later and sang a different song. Not even Advent can stand him when one time a Sectoid tried Mind control him, only to freak out after taking control and shot itself in the head later. When asked about his he only said: "My mind is a wonderful place". No one ever Soul Bond with him since then.

"Why are you scared, Julian? I love listening to Ban Reynard sing; It's amazing how he sings with so much passion" LookOut said in delight of listening to Ban sing, she doesn't hear much music so she one of the few that like listening to Ban.

"Threats aside now we have some income we should put it to some good use," Michael said after have fun scaring Julian. Michael thinking of what to do with the income he has left over. He got the Avenger cleaned and resupply all the food and weapons now he not sure what to do, even donating some money and supply to the Australia Bushfire fundraiser, were all those people that lost their home and loved ones.

"We should look for some scientist to help us find a way home, with some scientist we can find a way to create another portal home and research any other things found in this dimension" LockOut said been the only scientist on board as she used to help out Dr Tygan and other scientists with their research, increasing research time and creating new discovery with them. "I could use some help in that Venom drug you acquired during your first team mission here" LockOut said giving good points

"While having scientist is good and all what we really need is engineers to help put this place back in order" Julian stating his own opinion after getting over the fear of Ban singing, even MEC units are afraid. "While the Cyberdices are good at repair some of the Avengers but they can only do so much without engineers to guild them, we can't work to our maximum potential, not to mention the need to create more gear and bullets in case we run out." Julian finishing explains the need for engineers.

Both of them are right, the need for both scientist and engineers are important as without them Michael isn't sure how long the Avenger can run. But their lies the problem.

"I agree with both of you we need both scientist and engineers. The problem is we can't recruit them the normal way has I'm not sure we can trust anybody in his world" Michael saying after hearing their points.

"But why not ask the Justice League for assistance, if they hear our plea maybe they can help us." LookOut said about calling for the league

"Those cape vigilantes will not help us after hearing our full story, all they care about it 'Truth' and 'Justice'. If they found out about us they will take all our weapons, armour and research for themselves, make a profit of it and use that profit to continue their 'hero life's' and leaves us with nothing. Then the so call 'villains' get the information somehow, leading them to us and making everything worse than it already is" Julian explaining his contempt for the heroes "Even if they did give us the people we need they would be loyal to the League not XCOM"

Michael agrees to this, knowing why he didn't just go to the league with this information he has. It will lead to complications and more trouble than its worth, not including what the government or the villains of this world might do.

"Why not just simply hire people from the internet, perhaps we can recruit them that way" LookOut suggested about their current situation. Michael thinks on this, it could work.

"It might be our only option but we need to be careful who we hire, we don't know if they are working for someone else." Michael said

Not to mention how hard it will be to find scientist and engineers has either go to Lexcorp, Wayne Enterprises or Star labs. And he absolutely sure all of these companies have something to do with the Super Heroes and Villains it the world. As Michael thinks on this a small hovering sound comes behind him.

Looking behind himself he sees a GREMLIN flying behind him. A GREMLIN is a highly specialized drone in XCOM, used by Specialists in place of a secondary weapon. The GREMLIN Drone allows Specialists to execute a variety of battlefield tasks from safer distances. This GREMLIN was different from the normal, unlike the normal shape GREMLIN this one look like a floating Codex Brain inside of a squire design. The Codex Brain with the wings of a GREMLIN MARK 3 with other features on it. This GREMLIN was a gift from Lily Shen and some of my most talented Specialists. The GREMLIN MARK 4 has the maximum hacking capability of Hack and Haywire Protocol with its own Skulljack on a whip at the back of the Codex Brain 'spine' that can hack nearly any form of the terminal and even sent enough electricity to knock someone out with Combat Protocol and does the highest damage with Capacitor Discharge. It's smart enough to heal any injury with Restoration, Medical Protocol, and Revival Protocol with the uses of Bio Medikit. It has cameras on the front of the 'eyes' that can detect body temperature, heart rate and sweat secretion to calculate a soldier's physical and emotional state. The tablet on the GREMLIN is connected to the Shadow Chamber and the internet, and it can control by remote on computer or phone. It has its own clocking field making it nearly invisible to the untrained eye and has the Codex ability to Teleport. It can even create a shield around the solider called Distortion Field, a defensive shield that makes the target harder to hit. Michael only scratches the surface of its potential, who knows what else it can do. He calls the GREMLIN SP-5

As Michael thinks for a moment when he heard a familiar noise, turning around he see SP-5 looking right at him. "Hey SP" He smiles at the little drone. SP-5 was badly damaged on the crash, took many alloys to help repair her, but it was worth it. SP-5 was a gift was Lily and a few members of XCOM, and since then she has proven time and time again how useful she was.

SP-5 hovers in front of him giving his head a bump. Chuckling at himself before patting the drone, he misses her.

"Why don't you try that Underworld Talent Inc., they literally give anyone wanting to be a villain some henchmen" LookOut suggest talking to Julian about the recruitment.

Wait what

"Seriously, a business that encourages crime by providing 'henchmen', what is wrong with these humans, at least Advent provided jobs, these people are just wasting their talent of petty crime," Julian said in repulsion on a legitimate business literally provide the support for criminal action.

Looking at SP-5 and she turns around lifting up her tablet to show me the website of Underworld Talent Inc. The website itself seems to be a job search website if the people that are offering the job were wanted criminals. Makes sense for someone to take advance of the fact that anyone who doesn't make enough money for themselves needs to turn to crime in order to provide, and with so many villains pulling heist left and right it leads to many people looking to become henchmen just for some income. It pretty smart business choice given the circumstances.

"This might work, but it's too limiting, I look though this and see if I can find someone," Michael said looking though the recruitment, wow a lot of these guys have impressive skills, PhD in Science/Maths, Explosive expert, wow.

"What? Commander this is outrageous! Why would you even think of hire these people, most of them don't even have real names, and it even shows their catch phases, really catch phases, these meat bags are expecting to do" "That enough Julian." Michael said in a calm voice stopping Julian from continuing. Julian immedicably stops talking, due to both his program to listen to the Commander and the fear he has of him.

"Now Julian I can understand your point of view, but what you fail to see is an opportunity. These people have a diverse range of skills, with the right opportunity to use their skills to not only make a living but to be apart of something greater." Michael said as he keeping looking though the offers. He feels of them, having to turn to crime in order to make a living, so Michael is going to provide them with what they really need. Like a great man once said 'treats your men like your precious sons and they will follow you to hell and back' but Michael believes a more appropriate one would be 'pay a man enough and he will walk barefoot into hell".

Mount Justice

"Recognize Michael Thrawn, B06." Michael walks in with a different look. He is wearing dark tight pants and a furry vest, wearing white and black armour padding on his chest, shoulders and legs. On this right arm is a Plasma Ripjack while on his left is his Skulljack with a tablet that connects to the Shadow Chambers systems and control over SP-5 who is hover right behind him but Cloaked making it nearly invisible. Holding in his arms is a white helmet with red squares for eyes. While on his back are a Beam Grenade Launcher and a Kal-7 Bullpup with a SCOPE, Expanded Mag and Auto-Loader.

(Think Mox as I always like his design)

"Michael"

Megan flies towards him with a smile. 'How are you?' she says telepathy before looking him over

"Not bad really" Michael relies on telepathy "how are you"

She lands on the ground. 'I'm a bit bored. Superboy went out to help with an accident on the Metropolis Bridge. So I have been pretty much alone.' Megan shifts nervously before looking at this new look. "What about you, new look and everything," Megan said comment at the new uniform.

Michael looks at Megan. "I'm trying out some new gear and new looks," Michael said has he turns to show Megan his new gear "What to do think?" Michael question

Megan smiles brightly. "I like it, and the helmet looks interesting, did you make the design?" Megan ask about if Michael made all these gadgets

"No it belongs to an old friend who gave his life to save me, so I wear this in honour of him," Michael said he remembers his fallen friend.

"I'm sorry I didn't" Megan apologies thinking she brought bad memories. "It fine, you didn't know," Michael said stopping her. Megan just smiles than the Zeta tube lights up.

"Recognize B02, Aqualad."

In a flash of light, Kaldur enters the cavern. "Kaldur!" Megan beams "What are you doing here?"

Kaldur smiles at Megan. "I was hoping to hang out with my friends." He walks over to Michael offering his hand. "It is good to see you." Michael stares at it for a second before shaking it. "Good to see you too"

"Recognized B03, Kid Flash."

"Hey Megalicious, did you miss me?" Kid enters the room dressed in his usual hero gear. In a burst of speed, he speeds over to Megan placing an elbow on her shoulder. "Want to spend some alone time together."

Megan gives a friendly smile. "It is nice to see you too." Michael admires the girl for enduring Wally's lame attempts at flirting. She is even nicer than Lilly Shen when Brian 'Fisher' tried to ask her out, he nearly got shot by the SPARK defending Lilly virtue.

"Recognized B01, Robin."

"Yo," waves Robin. "I am ready for a mission."

"Tell me about it." Kid Flash starts to munch on a chocolate bar. "I am getting bored with this entire nothing." Before looking at Michael "hey rookie, new look"

"Trying it out, you like it?" Michael ask

"I am sure we will get a mission soon," Megan reassures.

"Recognized B04, Superboy." The others turned to see Superboy walking into the cave.

"Hi, Superboy," Miss Martian greeted eagerly. "How was Metropolis?" The clone simply walked past them ignoring her question. He was heading to his room when another voice spoke up.

"Ready for training, everyone?" The teens turned to see a Black Canary in a blue jacket and black outfit along with Martian man hunter walking up to them.

"Uncle J'onn!" M'gann greeted ecstatically giving him a hug.

"M'gann," The older Martian greeted back affection in his voice. "I was in the neighbourhood, so I thought I'd see how you were adjusting,"

"A few bumps, but I'm learning," She answered happily.

"That's all I can ask,"

With every word, Superboy felt a stab in his chest. Scowling, he turns to leave.

"Stick around," Black Canary said casually catching his attention. "Class is in session," He scowled but stayed.

"I consider it an honour to be your teacher," She said as the arena began to glow.

"I'll throw a lot at you," She continued as she began to take off her jacket. "Everything I've learned from my own mentors -uh- and my own bruises," She said revealing a bandage on her left arm.

"What happened?" Miss Martian asked in concern.

"The job," Black Canary said humour in her voice.

"Now, combat is about controlling conflict, putting the battle on your terms," Black Canary began explaining. "You should always be acting, never reacting," She continued. "I'll need a sparring partner,"

"Right here," Kid Flash answered with a sly smile finishing his food. "Yeah! After this," He speeds in front of her catching her slightly by surprise. "I'll show you my moves," He said flirtatiously.

"Are you ready?" Kid turns back around gaining that flirtatious smile. She crouches into a fighting stance. Moving quickly, she throws a straight right punch. Kid easily blocks the punch, but she already predicted that he would and ducked down into a leg sweep that swept Kid's legs out from under him. The speedster hit the ground back first. The words FAIL appears next to him.

"Hurts so good," Wally groaned.

"Doesn't sound like it," Robin chuckled.

Michael just shakes his head at his, SP-5 silently recording everything still cloaked. How can a speedster lose, he can run so fast no one should see him, disappointing.

"Good block," Black Canary chuckled. "But did anyone see what he did wrong?" She asked as he walked out of the arena.

"Ooh, ooh," Robin called out raising his hand. "He hit on teacher and got served?"

"Dude!" Wally complained.

"He allowed me to dictate the terms of" "Oh, please," Black canary began explaining but was interrupted. She along with the others turned to give their attention to Superboy.

"With my powers, the battle's always on my terms," Superboy said confidently. "I'm a living weapon, and this is a waste of my time,"

Canary smirks, "prove it." Superboy's eyes narrow. He steps forward crouching into a fighting stance. Canary gets into her own stance. A silent signal goes off. Superboy throws a punch only to find Canary grab his arm and toss him over her shoulders.

'Bad move,' Michael thinks. Superboy is a powerhouse with incredible strength. However, he lack experience in fighting, besides overpowering someone he doesn't use any strategies but run in and punch. With his strength and invulnerable he should be training in grappling or takedown were no one can stop him, maybe give him some heavy weapons.

Laughter comes from Robin. Kaldur nudges his friend. Robin throws up his hands over his mouth to muffle his laughter. Superboy charges angrily at Canary but is once again knocked to the ground. "Good, you are angry. Channel that anger," says Canary. Growling, Superboy leaps at Canary only to have his legs swept out from under him. For the third time, he is on his back with the words FAIL next to his body.

"Enough!" Superboy stands up in anger. "I am done."

"Training is mandatory," Black Canary said and there was a small edge in her voice. Superboy glared at her.

"Still a giant fucking baby," Michael thinks as Superboy looking like a child after losing in his favourite game.

"Batman to the cave," The others looked up to see Batman on the holo-screen. The others gathered to see what was going on.

"Five hours ago, a new menace attacked Green Arrow and Black Canary," Batman explained. A small box appeared and a video began playing.

"The attacker was capable of studying, then duplicating the powers and abilities of its opponents," Batman explained das the video continued playing. "Arrow called in reinforcements, which nearly proved disastrous, as our foe gained more and more power with each new combatant,"

"Whoa," Kid Flash understanding the implications of those words.

"One guy with the powers of the entire League?" Robin said out loud.

"In the end, it took 8 leaguers 4 hours to defeat and dismantle the android," Batman continued.

"An android?" The Boy Wonder questioned. "Who made it, T.O. Morrow?" Michaels looked up in question. He didn't know who that was. But he will research this later, however looking at the android something wrong about this. The way the android design shows that the creator wants' it to look like a human with the pointy ears and human-like face.

"Good guess, Robin," Batman complimented. Superboy once again felt another stab in his chest. "But Red Tornado doesn't think so,"

"The technology bears the signature of professor Ivo," Martian man hunter said hollowly.

"Ivo?" Kaldur asked in shock. "But Ivo's dead,"

"So we all thought," Black Canary spoke up "Or hoped,"

"To make certain this threat is permanently neutralized; we're sending two trucks carrying the android's parts to two separate S.T.A.R. lab facilities in Boston and New York for immediate evaluation," Batman explained. "Every precaution is being taken," He said.

"We'll have 4 additional decoy trucks to create confusion in case Ivo or anyone tries to recover the remains," He said. "You will split into undercover teams to safeguard the two real trucks,"

"Yes!" Wally cheered. "Road trip,"

"So now we take out your trash," Superboy scowled.

"You had something better to do?" Batman retorted. The boy of steel had nothing to say to that.

Michaels finds this weird, why not the League guards this. After all, a robot capable of copying powers is very dangerous for a covert unit to escort, why would Batman do this? He must be aware that someone will come for this droid. He needs to prepare for the worse.

"Coordinates received," Kaldur said speaking up. "On our way,"

And the other began running to their next destination.

Superboy began walking but was stopped by Black Canary.

"When you're ready, I'll be here," She said with a smile.

Superboy ripped from her grasp and continued walking forward. He ignored the small warm feeling he got.

Top secret

Operation "Schooling"

Highway

Batman and several other League members are overseeing the loading of the android. Among them are Captain Atom, Superman, Hawkman, and Green Lantern. Michael stares curiously at the members of the Justice League. He must admit that these League members look strong and they have colourful uniforms, however, he sees some flaws he and there. They are powerful no question but looking at them shows they never endured much, meaning they never face anything that could actually hurt them emotionally, as far as he knows in the past only a few members of the league have actually died or were at least brutally injured to hurt others. But looking at them doesn't look like they haven't faced anyone who plays a much bigger game. Nearly all villains fight for simple things like money and power which are not hard to face in the long run, it's the smart ones that will lose sometimes and learn from it or worse plan for it and have another plan. Those villains are the most dangerous ones as they see that losing can have its own benefits.

Aqualad glances at Michael and Superboy. Superboy is staring straight in the direction of Superman while Michael is observing all the members of the Justice League. This is the second mission that the team was given. Teamwork is the key to success. Michael proved on the first mission that he is able to handle his own even when the numbers are stacked against him. While the rest of the team argued and fought, Michael single handily brought down both Kobra and Sportsmaster. Two of the most dangerous criminals in the world were taken out by a single person. Aqualad knows that the most qualified person to lead this team is not him or Robin, it is Michael.

According to Robin, Batman learned that Michael used to work for the government personally leading some type of Black ops team. These agents are experts in stealth and reconnaissance. Robin may have been trained by Batman, but Michael was raised in the world of shadows and leads other though the dark making him the ideal candidate to lead a covert team. Not to mention how he sees things, like when facing Mister Twister he saw weak points in this design and help make a plan by pointing out their strengths and where to best use them. The problem is that Michael lacks the motivation to take command of this team; while he talks to Megan he doesn't talk to others as much. Not to mention he doesn't talk about himself or the gadgets he uses. When asking he only says 'A dear friend made them'. Until the team learns a bit more about his personality no one can really trust him. Using this knowledge, Aqualad has placed Michael on his team along with Miss Martian. Robin, Kid Flash, and Superboy make up the second team.

Batman gives the signal. The team splits into two groups following the trucks. One by one the members of the Justice League leave the scene. Superman is about to take off but is stopped by Batman.

"I told you that we needed to talk." Batman said

On the road, Team A is following the truck to Boston. Team A consists of Aqualad, Miss Martian, and Michael. Each member of the team is riding on a brand new motorcycle

"Do we get to keep these?" Michael asked as Aqualad rides next to Michael.

'These are for mission purposes only, so they will be available to us during missions. I doubt Batman will let us use them for other purposes.' Aqualad explained

"I will have to look into buying one." Michael said thinking about using the funds on a later date

A smirk appears on Aqualad's face. Perhaps his worries were unjustified. Then Michael's tablet is flashing showing a picture of flying robot monkeys coming behind. SP-5 is flying behind to check if we are being followed.

"We got flying robot monkeys? Coming from behinds" Michael said in confusion of making monkey-like robots and showing the camera to Aqualad and Miss Martian.

Michael hits several buttons on his motorcycle then the seat shifts up and the back part of the bike comes apart. He starts to ride on the front wheel. Miss Martian abandoned her bike choosing to fly. She uses her telekinetic powers to smash the monkeys into each other. The two monkeys explode in a shower of debris. Aqualad keeps one hand on the handles while using the other to swing his whip of water that cuts through several of the robotic monkeys.

In a single leap, Michael lands on the roof of the truck and starts to focus fire on the Monkeys. His Talons Rounds destroying each one, as the monkey's eye glow green before firing a green laser at the young heroes. Using Return Fire on each of the monkeys and blowing up several Monkeys and using his Plasma Ripjack and Skulljack to tear apart any that come to close.

Miss Martian slams a monkey into the street with her telekinetic powers. Turning, her eyes widen in surprise. See Michael moving left and right taking pot shots at each monkeys head and moving around before scratching them with his claws. Michael moving around ducking, turning and shooting heads and grabbing their tail to throw at each other, it's amazing to watch.

"Wow," Megan thinks to watch Michael

Several monkeys land on the back of the truck. Using the laser, they cut through the armoured truck opening up a large hole.

"There are too many!" Aqualad yells.

'Get in front of the truck!' Michael orders as Miss Martian and Aqualad look at him curiously. Michael puts his gun back before pulling up his high-tech Grenade Launcher

"Miss Martian move!" Aqualad speeds in front of the truck. Miss Martian flies ahead. Michael finishes putting some Plasma Grenade in the Beam Grenade Launcher aiming at the horde of monkey bots in the truck and fire.

Beep beep beep

Aqualad and Miss Martian watch in awe as multiply explosions blow up inside the truck leading to a dozen monkeys coming out of the back door hitting the streets creating more explosions. The truck stopping due to the bombs going off.

"This is Robin to Aqualad. We lost our cargo and a Superboy." Robin called speaking into the com

"Yeah, the guy went ballistic." Kid Flash adding

"Aqualad to Superboy," Aqualad said trying to contact Superboy. "Radio your position so we can help you,"

"I don't need help!" Superboy shouted angrily. "Don't want any!" Then he took out his com and dropped it

"Superboy! Superboy!" Aqualad trying to call

"I think he ditched his transmitter." Miss Martian said

"Great, now how do we get back the parts?" Kid Flash said though the coms

"Well, there is one way to track the parts and find out who sent them," Michael said

"How is that?" Aqualad asks as the Commander points out in the distance seeing more flying monkeys coming.

"If we let them take the parts and follow them, and find both the parts and Superboy' Michael suggest. Miss Martian relays the plan to Robin over the radio.

"That actually isn't a bad plan," Robin says. "We could capture whoever is after the parts and that could lead us to who built the robot."

"The League would be impressed if we can capture Professor Ivo." Kid said about the plan

Aqualad gains a pensive expression. "Not much time to decide," Miss Martian as the Monkeys got closer as Michael was going into the crates.

"Let them have the parts," Aqualad order.

The three watches as the robotic monkey steal the Amazo parts and all went back on their motorcycles and following the monkeys.

Gotham

Superboy slams down upon the train car after spending the last five hours chasing those monkeys. There were several points that he almost lost them, but he managed to use his enhanced vision to find them again. It led him to this train car. He punches a hole in the roof, he jumps down into the car. Laughter fills the air. Robotic monkeys are sitting on the crates.

"Well what do we have here?" a voice said

A small man that barely comes up to five feet tall steps out of the darkness. He wears a sweater vest over a long-sleeve white shirt and black dress pants. "You are Professor Ivo?" Superboy looks down upon the man. "I'm whelmed."

"I didn't know that the Big Blue had a brat." Professor Ivo commented

"He doesn't." Superboy answering

Professor Ivo looks at the clone before waving dismissively. "If you say so."

The professor smiles as his monkeys start to hover behind him. "How did you like my Mobile Optimal Neural Quotient Infiltrators?" Laughter comes from the robotic monkeys before attacking Superboy.

A couple of punches destroy the first two monkeys before he grabs the third and fourth. He smashes the two monkeys together. "Hmm, if Ivo's Magnificent MONQIs don't float you maybe my Amazing Amazo will better suit you." Superboy has no time to react when a punch slams into his face sending him flying into the crates behind him. "Or better slay you."

Superboy looks up to see a six and a half foot tall android. It is the same android that was in the footage of fighting against the Justice League. "Access Superman," Amazo said

Narrowing his eyes, Superboy lunges at Amazo. Amazo catches the punch and slams a knee into Superboy's gut. An uppercut launches Superboy through the roof and high into the air.

The clone is sent flying over half a mile before crashing through the roof of a school building. He crashes straight through several floors landing in a large basketball gym. Superboy goes to stand, but a force from above smashes him back into the floor creating a small crater. The clone is lifted up before a punch sends him flying to the wall.

A whip of water heads at Amazo's back. "Access Martian Manhunter." Amazo becomes into intangible. The whip of water passes through Amazo harmlessly.

Amazo turns around to face its new opponents. "Access Captain Atom." Aqualad dives out of the way to avoid nuclear energy. Superboy goes to attack Amazo, but the android turns around firing a second blast of energy that strikes the clone in the chest. Pain fills the clone but the android never gets a chance to finish Superboy as Amazo is picked up into the air by an invisible hand and tossed into the bleachers.

"Now that was interesting." Ivo said

Professor Ivo takes a seat on the bleachers when he was carried into the gym by his robotic monkeys. His eyes land upon the green-skinned girl hovering the air. "I didn't know there was another Martian. Guess the Big Blue wasn't the only one hiding a kid," Ivo smirks.

"Analyzing…information downloaded." Amazo said scanning Miss Martian

Amazo stands up than a wave of the hand sends Miss Martian flying into the wall. "Access Miss Martian."

A chuckle comes from the professor. "It looks like you are not as weak as the others," Ivo smirks.

Amazo turns to see Superboy came out of the wall before running into the android "Access Superman", getting one hit in before Amazo overwhelmed him with multiply punches, knocking him into the ground. Right about when he would finish him he was saved by a running Kid flash, "Yoink!" carry him to Robin who throws a bird-a-rang at Amazo

"Access Martian Manhunter"

The bird-a-rang passing though him "Access Red tornado" summing red winds blow away all three of them all over the place.

Aqualad forms a pair of whips with his water bearers. "We need to dissemble the android before it absorbs more powers." Aqualad said

"Good luck with that," Ivo leans back on the bleachers. "Amazo kill them, priority alpha."

"Access Flash."

In a burst of speed too fast to follow, Amazo dodges the water whips and appears in front of Aqualad. Fifteen punches strike Aqualad all over his body. A right hook sends Aqualad flying into the far wall.

Ivo was watching with glee has his amazing creation taking down the young heroes. What he fails to notice was someone sneaking behind him. Siting back down on the bench but hearing gunshot right behind him blowing up the two Monkeys, freaking out and getting blasted from the explosion fell on the court.

Before he had time to get up suddenly felt something grabs him before being pulled back up the benches.

Michael watching the others fight Amazo knows they can't do any damage to it. After studying the machines he can see that the more it see the more it powers it can copy, however, it seems to only copy aspect of someone powers. Like it only uses Superman strength but not speed and lasers. However, the Professor is an open target and seems to be too focused on the fight. So climbing the stairs with Shadow Step before getting into a flanking position, first arming at the monkeys and shooting their heads off, watching them exploded with Ivo caught in the blast.

As Ivo was trying to get up Michael uses Justice, using his Grapple to pull Professor Ivo to him and grabbing him by the neck before slamming him down on the bench knocking him out.

Looking at the knock out professor, knowing that he wrought be getting up anytime soon, turns to look at the android who is using Super strength to crush Kid Flash. Arming his gun about to shot but an arrow comes and forces Amazo to use Martian powers to avoid it.

See his chance Michael uses Whiplash sending an electrical lash onto Amazo shocking him.

"Acceussss" Amazo feeling the shock damaging him

Taking advance of his Michael pulls himself in with Wrath and striking Amazo with his Plasma Ripjack, doing through the armour.

"Accceussssss" Amazo stumbling back suffering damage he wasn't designed to take before getting stabbed in the head with blue claws.

Michael using his Skulljack to hack straight into Amazo head and stealing a much Intel as possible before Amazo could throw him off.

Amazo feeling the weapons hack into his head tried to throw Michael off.

"Acceusss Black Canarrryy" Amazo able to say before grabbing Micheal and judo throw him away.

"ooooh shit" Michael curse as Amazo throw him behind into Robin.

"Owwww," Robin said feeling Michael get throwing on him

"Sorry" Michael groaning before getting up to look at this handy work

Amazo looks much worse than before as the Plasma Ripjack left severe damage into his chest and his head looks like his face was ripped off, leaving a metal skeleton-like face glare at him as sparks fly making him a bit sluggish.

Before Amazo could reticulate Superboy jump at him force Amazo to turn and face him.

"Accuesss Captttain At0" he tried to say but still a stream of nuclear energy shot straight into Superboy.

"aaaaahhhhh" Superboy screams in pain as his shirt is burned away and the skin on his chest begins to burn.

"Superboy" Miss Martian yelled before using her power to throw Amazo away.

But it just turns and shot the energy at her force her to duck as Amazo run for a hit

"Acusesss Superrrrrmaan" Amazo jumps and hit her send her straight to the benches

Kid Flash runs in for a punch while Robin throws more bird-a-rangs.

"Acusssss Flashhh" Amazo runs avoiding the bird-a-rangs as they hit Kid Flash

"aaaaaaa" Kid Flash screams in pain from the explosion

"Kidd" Robin yelled in panic before Amazo run and punch him, knocks him out and is running to do the same to Michael.

But Michael drops down to avoid the punch and uses Retribution on his legs causing him to crash on the floor.

Amazo tried to get up but Michael jumps on his back Reckoning to do some damage before grabbing a plasma grenade and imbedding into Amazo body.

"aaacesss Reddd tornnnado " red wind blows Michael away as Amazo tries to stabiles himself. Michael landing on his back was able to pull up his gun and fire into the grenade.

An explosion fills the air. Flipping out of the smoke was Amazo falling into the ground in multiple pieces.

Michael lies back down in relief. That was one of the hardest fights he ever had, honestly what kind of person was able to create something able to copy superpowers. Looking to the side he sees Professor Ivo still knock-out of the benches, good now to check up on the team.

Standing up and taking out this Bio-Medikit, and went to Robin first. Luckily he also carries a medikit when going on a mission cause one-way or another someone gets injured.

Spraining Robin with it Michael watch as all his injures were heal in an instant.

"oooooh what hit me" Robin groan after getting hit in the head by a speed robot

"You got knock the fuck out my Amazo-Tron over there, luckily he didn't knock your head off," Michael said helping Robin up.

"Wait Amazo" "Is nothing but scape over their" Michael said stopping Robin from worrying about Amazo

"But how did you" Robin question how someone around his age was able to destroy someone with the power to take on the League

"Let's talk about it after we help everyone up and insure the jack-ass over there doesn't get away," Michael said pointing at the knock-out Professor which Robin ran right to him to tie him up.

While Michael went to check on Aqualad

"Superboy, are you all right?" Miss Martian asked helping the young clone up.

"I'm fine," Superboy reassured. "Feeling the aster," He said getting a smile from Robin while tieing up a knock-out Ivo.

"Is everyone all right?" Aqualad ask after getting healed by Michael's Bio-Medikit, looks at everyone to see if anyone was injured.

"Besides a few bumps and bruises I'm just feeling hunger," Kid Flash said walking to them after the explosion.

"Still we failed the mission, we were supposed to deliver the parts to their distension not destroy them." Aqualad said reprimanded the commander gaining everyone's attention

"I don't see keeping that android intact was a good idea," Michael said pointing at the remains. "The longer if was active the more knowledge it would have gained, destroy it was the best course of action at the time."

Aqualad glared at him before taking a look around and remembering all of the destruction it causes to the team.

"Perhaps you are right," Kaldur said

"The leagues still going to be pissed though," Kid Flash pointed out.

"No, they won't, because we have this" Michael said holding out the Ripjack to show all the Intel he got from Amazo.

"I don't understand?" Miss Martian said.

"While we were fighting that thing I was able to get in close and hack straight into its software, getting the schematics on the design to Amazo." Michael explain show the design of Amazo

"So now all we have to do is transfer the data to a computer," Robin said in realization.

"Yep, not to mention the capture of the creator over their" Michael said pointing at Ivo.

All the team looked at the tie-up Ivo and at each at the accomplishment.

Mount justice

"S.T.A.R. Labs are analysing the data Michael provided about the robot and Ivo is in police custody," Aqualad explained to the dark knight of Gotham, and the other leagues in the room.

"But we understand your mission encountered other complications," Martian man hunter said.

It prompts the team to look over at Superboy, who chooses to look away.

"Complications come with the job," Batman said "Your ability to handle them has impressed the League,"

"The whole League?" Superboy asked.

"Given time, yes," Batman answered. "Kryptonians, as you know, have very hard heads," He said and you could almost see the slightest of his mouth turning upward if you looked hard enough causing a small smile to Superboy

"Of course, there's no shame in asking for help," Batman continued

"That's why the League exists," He explained looking at the younger heroes. "Because there are some problems even we can't handle individually,"

"Please," Robin scoffed. "If we needed help, we'd never get the chance to ask," He said walking up to his mentor and presenting an arrow to them.

"Look familiar? You were following us! Babysitting!" He accused angrily. "You still don't trust us,"

That did not make sense to Michael, if the arrow was a leaguer why didn't they do more beside shooting one arrow.

"We didn't follow you," Batman said as Green Arrow grabbed the arrow and showed his own, comparing the two different designed arrows, proving Michael thoughts.

"Wait if it wasn't you," Robin said looking at Green Arrow. "Speedy!" He shouted out in glee

"Seems like that archer has our backs after all," Aqualad said with a smile.

"Souvenir!" Kid Flash cheered grabbing the arrow. As Kid runs off Michael saw Batman and Green Arrow looking at each other, judging by their looks the arrow doesn't belong to Speedy, so who does it belong too?

Slowly the others began going their own way. Superboy eyes his target and walked her. He put his hand on her shoulder and she turned around.

"I'm ready," He said looking at Black Canary.

"Good," The heroine answered with a smile. "Because I'm here,"

Meanwhile, Michael looks at the Intel he got from Amazo. While it's true that he got data about the android he also as other data things like the resources need to make such android and tech with it. While he only knows basic engineering after learning from Shen he can see some of the material are rare, Ivo was presume died so how could he get the resources to make something like these.

Looking further he can see that some of the resources are from Lexcorp and another anonymous supplier only going by the name 'the Light'.

Narrowing his eyes, Michael thinks back to the Venom-Blockbuster drug was created by the Kobra Cult, by mixing Bane's Venom with the Blockbuster made by Cadmus, both supplied by "the Light". Looking at the diagram of Amazo, Sportmaster came to buy the Venom-blockbuster drug for "the Light", now they must also have the blueprints to make another Amazo, or at least the tech needed to make it. Both are dangerous by itself but together, and who to say they stop there.

'The Light" is planning something big, providing resources to villains in order to gain something useful back in the long run. This is just like dealing with EXALT again. Whatever it is they are planning Michael will be ready for it, just like in XCOM 'Vigilo Confido'.
