XCOM chapter 5
Mount Justice
With the computers on we see Robin at the center of the training hall using the Justice League database to look-up an important individual. Like his mentor before him Robin also has a habit to know as much as possible about people of interest, the individual in mind is also the same one his mentor is investigating. Been so engrossed to the computer he fails to notice a person standing behind him.
"I don't understand the reason for looking up information on Michael?"
Robin turns hiding his emotion well as he faces Kaldur who keeps his emotion schooled.
"I need to know more about him, he just shows up out of no-way with little to no information" Robin explains showing videos on Michael fight with Amazo and some information on his ID, basic schooling and parents that don't add up
"He is able to take down a powerful robot with the powers of multiple League members, nearing killing us all. Aren't you at least curious about how he is skilled and where he gets his tech?" Robin is trying to show Kaldur his point.
As Kaldur just puts his hand on Robin's shoulder.
"While I would be lying saying my own curiosity gets the better of me, Michael is a friend and a teammate. He will tells us when he feels ready" Kaldur says in reassurance
"Ooo come on Kaldur, I know he saved your life but"
"All our lives," Kaldur interrupts. "Multiple times" he said as Robins frowns
"Sometime you just need a have faith my friend" Kaldur leaves as Robin just stares at the screen looking at Michael
Mount Justice August 3rd
Superboy is slammed down to the ground as Canary judo flips him. Groaning at the ceiling as Canary extends her hand to him
"You're getting better" Canary smiles as she get Superboy back on his feet
"Don't throw all your full weight into your punches as it can leave you wide open to a counter" Canary explains as Superboy dust his pants
"Right I'm ready to go again" Superboy gets his hands up
Michael enters the room looking through his data pad on his arm, sees the potential recruits he has called and forward a message to meet and greet. He already has a potential recruit for a pilot for the Skyranger and a few engineers that are interested in robotics in the Avenger, however the one he was worrying about is the one recruit he was thinking of employing from that henchmen site. A master of disguises with a record of infiltrating heavy military bases, of all the people he reviewed this one could be the most loyal to XCOM giving the right motivation, still he has been wrong before.
THUUUUD
Looking up Michael sees Superboy getting thrown around by Canary, Michael honestly pities the clone. In his world clones were given a choice of what they want to do after going through the right tests and giving a proper education in human empathy. Superboy on the underhand was just expected to want to be a hero and not even check if he was a hidden spy or even mentally stable. It takes months for the hybrid clones in his world to get through the system and that's if they don't have the ADVENT indoctrination going through them. Superboy stills a child in a teenage body, going through life as a teenager without someone to show him the bases of life and what's right and wrong.
"Do you want to join us?" Canary ask
Michael turned to see both Canary and Superboy staring at him as he closed his data pad.
"I have my own form of CQC" Michael explained, learning how to fight from XCOM Bradford and others in combating nearly anything ADVENT throw at them.
"You think your CQC is better than what I have to offer?" Canary sends a challenging smirk
"If anything your martial arts surpass my own but I prefer to stick to my own limits" Michael said as his CQC is more effective with knives and other gadgets to enhance his physical limits.
"How about a spar?" Canary challenge
Michael just shrugs as he walks into the ring and gets into his fighting stance as Canary spreads her legs getting into her stance as Superboy takes a step back, looking eager to watch. As a fist sails toward Michael's face as he leans his head side to dodge, as Canary uses her momentum to turn for a leg sweep but Michael does a short hop over the attack. As Canary gets back Michael moves in as Canary goes for another punch but this time Michael catches it, before pulling her forward causing her to lose balance and trip as Michael grabs her arm spinning her around to the ground and locking her arms behind her back.
"He was able to react fast enough to get me down into a police take-down offense" Canary winces feel the pressure behind her back
"So he can beat Canary too" Superboy thinks not to be surprised, Michael was able to defeat Amazo. A powerful machine that was able to take down a few league members. But Michael using what he had was able to outsmart the machine. Superboy saw that while Michael wasn't the strongest member of the team he was definitely the most resourceful, able to look at the weakness and strength of his opponent before taking them down. This is enough to apparently be enough to take down a member of the Justice league
"Very good, using a police hold to take me down quickly but against a smarter opponent it won't always work" Canary states as Michael still holds her down before pushing up and kicking him across the floor landing on his back.
"Dammm I know I can't beat you but I can at least hold you down for a bit" Michael said getting up feeling a little hurt but thanks to Adaptive Bone Marrow and Muscle Fiber Density he was just fine.
"Not bad, using CQC to get in powerful strike to either knock out or take down your opponent" Canary states see how his style work "I can teach you a few moves that can help further your CQC"
"Why not" Michael Shrugs sees no harm in learning new moves.
LINE
"Take a break you two will focus more later"
Michael and Superboy stand down as Canary tossed them both water bottles. However she knows both boys are far from tired, due to Superboy processing both Superman's incredible stamina and endurance while Michael's stamina is almost on par with Superboy. While Michael sweats and shows signs of exhaustion a small break shows how fast he recovers in order to keep up with Superboy. Sooner or later they will master the basics in no time.
Superboy prefers more grappling and throwing techniques to take down his opponents, learning to control his strength by channelling his anger. He seems to learn his from Michael from his use of joint locks and throws. Both are perfect sparring partners as Superboy's superior strength allows him to break free from any joint locks and throws; the same could be said for Michael as he keeps throwing and dodging all Superboy grabs and punches. Making it a stamina and technique battle between who would last the longest and keep the wits with them.
LINE
Megan watches as Michael and Superboy spar, at first be worried as Superboy just came up and as Michael to spar while Michael was helping her cook and have a telepathic chat. Michael just shrugs and says they can continue the topic they were discussing later.
Both Michael and Superboy both ignored her as they started their sparring match. Superboy activities the simulator to a basic sparring program where a point would be awarded for each takes down. After hours of fighting Megan sighs as she continues to watch the two.
Using her telepathy to scan the surface, she thought she saw no anger despite how brutal the two were fighting.
THUUD
Superboy lands as he stares at the ceiling in anger before rising on his feet, he stares at the score see 11 to 9 in Michael's favour. He was aware both were holding back but he hates losing especially in fights.
"Aren't you getting tired?" Megan finally speaks up
Both look at one another "No," they both replied
"How about we go to the beach and just relax? I'll contact the other!" Megan flies in excitement to call the others. As Superboy and Michael both reluctantly stand down both knowing Megan just going to do it anyway
"OK I sent the message, they should be here soon. Now all we need are swimsuits!" Megan in excitement before closing her eyes, her clothes turning into a yellow bikini top with matching shorts.
"How do I look?" She strikes a pose with he hands on her hip
"Nice."
"Sexy."
Megan's cheeks blush at Michael's comments and Superboy raises an eyebrow at Michael's comment. Michael just stands there feeling no shame with his comment. Even in his own world, appealing aliens was rare even with a few humans trying to date them; he saw little appeal in most of them. He further pities Superboy as he has not yet found the beauty of the appealing female body, another thing he has to learn to see if his dick works or not. That was always the problem with cloning in his would as few of them were fertile.
"Thank" Megan blushes
"Recognized Robin. B01."
"Recognized Aqualad, B02."
In a beam of light, both Robin and Aqualad appear in civilian clothes.
"Yo," Robin waves
"Hello, Wally won't be able to make it." Kaldur says on Wally absents as Robin erupts to laughter
"School starts for him today" Robin chuckles, "He's going to be so bummed when we find out we went to the beach without him."
"Well, since we are all here let's get going!" Megan beams
"I don't have a swimsuit." Superboy folds his arms as Kaldur smiles holding a bag
"I have that covered" Smiles Kaldur
Beach
"We should hit the beach every day," Megan smiles holding a surfboard
But Robin raises his hand in humor, "But first a moment, of silence for our fallen comrade." He lowers his head in a dramatic fashion.
Megan nods. "Poor Wally."
Michael just nods laughing at the poor bastard, missing a beautiful day out in the beach. Megan was right; he needs to be able to enjoy and relax every once and while. Not remembering the last time he went to the beach.
"Time to hit the waves!" Robin cheers with everyone following suit.
Mount Justice, later that day
After a fun day at the beach the team were called to meet a new member. Everyone changes to meet this new member as Superboy changes to his regular outfit while Michael changes to his civilian appearance. Both Superboy and Michael came to the main room to see the other waiting for them. Miss Martian, Robin and Aqualad are facing a new girl next to Green Arrow. She is a pretty long blonde hair with olive tan skin wearing a green costume matching that of Green Arrow that highlights her build. She held a bow with a full quarrel of trick arrows and a black utility belt strapped on leg left leg.
"Michael, Superboy, come and meet the newest member of the team" Miss Martian smiles
"Artemis, your new teammate" Artemis introduces herself to both of them
Superboy shares a glance at Michael "Ever met her?" he thinks telepathic to him, Michael has been slowly opening the idea to use telepathy to have secret communication with and he got most of the team on it.
Michael has a look at her bow and the arrows of Artemis seeing the design identical to the one that saved Kid Flash from Amazo.
"She has the same arrows that save Kid Flash from Amazo" Michael said to Superboy who looks her over trying to see if it true while Artemis does a pose liking how Superboy is checking her out much to the annoys of Miss Martian
"Recognized Kid Flash, B03." In a flash Wally enter the room dress for the beach instead of a mission, poor bastard
"The Wall-man is here, let's get this party start…" Wally slips falling face first while dropping the beach ball as it bounces past an unamused Batman. Wally looks up to see everyone looking at him
"Wall-men huh? Love the uniform," Artemis smirks
Wally stands up and asked
"who is this?" he question everyone
"Artemis, your new teammate." She stated proudly
"She my new protégé," Green Arrow says placing a hand on her shoulder showing her support
"What happened to your old one?" he questions
"Recognized Speedy, B04."
Entering the base is the former sidekick of Green Arrow, Speedy,
"For one he no longer goes by Speedy anymore" OK never mind
"Roy you look…" Green Arrow was surprised seeing his former protégé
"Replaceable, and the name is Red Arrow," Red Arrow glares at his mentor
So this is the famous Roy that everyone has been talking about. Training to get into the league but for some reason felt entitled to be a member early than start to be a bitch about it and walk out of the people that took that gave him the time and equipment to even be in that position. What is the bitch doing here been an asshole to everyone?
Green arrow looks like he has a headache
"It's not like that Roy, you told me you're going solo," If that's the case he has no reason to bitch about Green Arrow wanting to train someone else.
But he still bitching about it
"So then why waste time finding a sub then? Can she even use a bow?" Red Arrow still bitch about more completion, seeing another archer might be scaring the shit out of him
"Yes she does" Artemis challenging Red Arrow
"We want you on the tram, we have no quota on archers," Aqualad trying to peruse Red Arrow
"And if we did, you know who we pick," Wally adds, Michael rolls his eyes honestly preparing the blonde as lest she has tougher skin then this moaning bitch.
Artemis also rolls her eyes, "whatever Baywatch. I am here to stay."
Now Aqualad decides to change the subject.
"You came to us for a reason" beside complain how your terrible life decisions
Red Arrow nods as he starts to explain
"Dr. Sterling Roquette," Robin types up searching multiple databases on the doctor
"She is one of the leading researchers in nano-tech! Went missing two week ago!" Robin showing the information
"Kidnapped by the League of Shadow two week ago" Red Arrow corrected as Wally's eye light up
"You want us to rescue her from the Shadows?" Robin asked with excitement in his voice
Hard core!" Both Robin and Wally bump fist before Red Arrow rain of their parade
"I already rescued her" he pulls out a small device "But not before she was forced to create a device for them." A new image appears revealing a robotic looking insect.
"It is known as the fog, thousands of nano bugs that can destroy everything in sight, concrete, steel, flesh, bone. However the real power is their ability to steal data, they can infiltrate computer files stealing all data giving the shadows information." Red Arrow explain the aspect of this device
"Perfect for extortion, manipulation, power broking," Artemis listing some of the purposes this device can be used for. "Yeah sounds like the shadows."
"Like you know anything about the shadows," Kid Flash mocked with Artemis sending a sly smile
"Who are you?" Jesus calm the fuck down
"Roquette working on a virus to render the fog inert" Red Arrow explained
"But if the shadows know she can do then..," Aqualad said slowly with the Red Arrow nodding
"They'll target her," He turned to the screen and pulled a picture of a school. "Right now, she's off the grid. I stashed her at a local high school's computer lab," Red Arrow tells her current location
She working on a complex virus in a high school computer completely defenseless right now Michael thinks
"Wait, you left her alone?" Green Arrow asking the big question
"She safe enough," the red archer shrug, but for how long was the unasked question
"Then let us keep her that way." Green Arrow volunteered
"Us? What about your new protégé?" Red Arrow glared at his former mentor, what a dick
But Batman intervenes, stopping Green Arrow. "You brought this to the team, it's their mission now, which means it's hers now, too," Are they talking about Artemis
"Then my job's done," Red Arrow leaves to the zeta tube
"Recognized Speedy.." He interrupts "Update, Red Arrow B04." And with that he leaves. So that's how you change your name, good to know.
"You have your mission. Head out," Batman orders Aqualad
"Coordinates received, move out team!"
Let see how they the shadow like a cold night
Bio-Ship
Michael was wearing a silvery white scale suit with light blue scale armour covering most of this shoulder, arms and pants. He has a hood of a pure white snake head with glowing blue eyes and purple horn, and a dark blue mask covering his face with white lines going down his eyes.
(Picture the Serpent Armor default and a mask covering the face)
Michael has a customisable Frost Caster Sniper Rifle with a, an S.C.O.P.E., and an Expanded Magazine and on this back was a Frost Axe and Plasma Assault Rifle with, a S.C.O.P.E., an Auto-Loader and a Under barrel Shotgun and this Plasma dagger and Pistol. He is wearing the Advance Frost Scale Vest packet with Frost Grenades, and Flashbang and his standard gear. On this right arm is the Winter King's Fangs Ripjack with the left is wrist mounted experimental Cryo launcher.
This looks good Michael thinks as he looks himself over, he now matches everyone else with their insane costumes at least this is practical and intimidating at the same time. This suit was made from the corpse of the Viper King and the weapons were all from his Children. Now he just needs a name for this armour.
As he comes back from the backroom of the Bio-ship where everyone can see the new look and they are shocked to say the least.
"Holy Shit" Was Kid Flash response he see serpent like costume
"You like?" Michael asking their opinion
"Dude you look sick" Robin said looking the suit over
"Another change" Aqualad ask seeing a different suit for every mission
"I love this uniform" Artemis said loving the intimidating snake hood
"It suits you Michael" Miss Martian said while driving the Bio-ship
"What do we call you now" Superboy ask looking at the suit and the weapons Michael was carrying
Michael does a small turn giving everyone a full view
"This suit specialist in freezing the enemy but I not sure what to call this one" Michael said looking at his ripjacks
"Oo Oooo how about the White Snake" Robin suggest a name
"No" Michael said
"Snake eyes" Artemis tried
"No"
"The Scaler" Kid Flash too
"No"
"How about we talk about his after the mission" Aqualad said trying to focus on the mission
Happy Harbor High School
The team had met up with Roquette as she was coding the virus
"Miss Martian, link us up," Aqualad ordered, "We don't want the shadows intercepting our coms," He send in the mind link
"Everyone online?" he checks
"Ohh, this is weird" Artemis groans
"And Distracting," the blonde doctor grumbles out. "Coding a distributive algorithm virus on a kiddie computer with less ram then a wristwatch is hard enough, now I have to hear teen-thoughts" She rants
"Lady, do you always complain when someone tries to help?" Kid Flash asked
"Pot, Kettle," Artemis looked at Kid Flash to Roquette. "Have you met?"
"Hey, I don't want to hear lip from the newbie who dove Red Arrow off the team," Kid Flash accused
"That's not on me," Artemis argued back
"Would you two Shut the Fuck up, I don't want to spent the rest of his night hearing you talk shit to each other" Michael yelled from the roof having enough of this shit
"Thank you at less one of you understands what's at stake," the Doctor glad someone stop the teen thoughts
"How about I just help Miss Martian and Superboy patrol the perimeter?" Artemis sighed leaving
"Good Idea" Aqualad agreeing watching her go outside as he when to the doctor
"you should cut her some slack," Robin said. "It her arrow that save you ass from Amazo,"
"What?" Kid Flash yelled "No, that was Speed Red Arrow's Arrow? Right?"
"Not so much" Robin answered
"Whatever, I'm still not giving her the satisfaction," Kid flash said
"You know I can still hear you,' Artemis pointed out
"Dang It!" Kid Flash yelled out loud as Aqualad focus on the blonde
"The virus won't be much help to us if we can't find the weapon," Aqualad pointed out. "Can you track it?"
"My utility fog is not a weapon," she defended angrily. "It's science, brilliant science, and of course I can track it, but I'd have to go online," She explained
"You made mechanical insects that can cut through steel and bone and still data from any computer, that is currently been used by the Shadows to cause shit to go down, How is it not a Weapon" Michael thinks out loud about why anyone would build it and not use it has a weapon
"So it is my fault I was captured and was forced to..." Roquette tries to defend herself
"We all know you weren't fucking forced," Michael stopping her "You have no physically injuries showing you weren't forced to make the Fog meaning you created it willing while fully knowing it would be used as a weapon of destruction, but instead of resisting the fanatic hypocrites like any decent fucking human bean would you when fully along with it expecting your worthless wellbeing which was doing to be fucked with either way. Now thanks to you, a new weapon was given to lunatics who are causing the death of countless lives all because…"
"Michael stop" Aqualad ordered stop Michael rant
"Either way their death is on your hands as much as theirs you dumb bitch" Michael finish his piece on creating something for science. It reminded him of Dr Vahlen, even though she was a brilliant scientist and a dear friend she still created the Alien Rulers which caused death and destruction in their path.
"Man that was cold blood" Kid Flash said hearing all of that
Roquette was silence has she start looking down, a guilty look with tears in her eyes
Aqualad looks at the blonde woman not knowing what to say, on one hand Michael was out of hand saying that but also knowing he was right in some case
"Listen I'm sorry what you were put through,' Aqualad apologizing to the sad woman "But he right as long as it in shadows hands it a weapon,' ' He explained. " I understand that you fearful of this situation and are feeling guilty but this is your chance to make it right and I assure you we will protect you," He finished with a small smile, as Roqutte looks at the atlantean before wiping the tears from her eye and typing in the computer.
"Tracking the fog now," She said
LINE
Outside the school, Miss Martian was at the front gates with Artemis. Both girls turn around to see Superboy walk past them.
"Mmm, that boy" Artemis couldn't help herself
While Superboy turned to look at her weirdly, still not understand what general attraction is
"He can hear," Miss Martian said in anger or jealousy. "We all can hear you,"
'Oh, I know" Artemis said nonchalantly
"Miss Martian, Dr. Roquette has located the fog," Aqualad said. "Reconfigure the bioship so the Robin and Superboy can pursue,"
Miss Martian focused on her bioship to come to them,
"Ready," She confirmed
Superboy and Robin ran out of the school and headed towards the bioship as the girls watched the ship take off.
Miss Martian waits until the mental link with Superboy vanishes before turning to face Artemis.
'You embarrassed Superboy,' Miss Martian accused the archer.
'Didn't hear him say that,' Artemis retorted.
'Must you challenge everyone?' The Martian asked angrily.
'Where I come from, that's how you survive,'
So caught up in their argument neither noticed the figure that got passed them.
LINE
Cheshire hides in the bushes watch the two heroes argue
'Now they are making it much too easy,' Cheshire smirks.
The green skinned girl and blonde begin to argue leaving a wide opening for Cheshire. Running towards the fence with amazing acrobatic abilities by leaping to the top of the fence and landing on it with grace before leaping to the ground.
Cheshire is about to enter the school when shadows make her slide backwards.
The shadow turns out to be a blast of hot energy that charred in the ground where she had been standing. Danger fills her sense and she spins around avoiding more energy shots at her, feeling the power sends her further back to the fences.
Cheshire's eyes narrow upon her opponent. See a boy maybe a few years younger than her dress like an armoured snake with some high tech weapons and he was putting a tech rifle at her
""I am impressed you managed to see me," Cheshire praised hoping for a reaction "I was sure you were on the other side of the roof before I made my move."
Michael was able to see her thanks to SP-5 who was constantly scanning the area, thanks to her advanced stealth systems no one could hear or see her, not even Michael himself. She spots an enemy coming from one defection so he sets up an overwatch at the area and then a female ninja with a cat comes and he fires. Sadly he missed
"Don't worry I won't miss you when you leave" Michael said stalling for time until everyone comes hear
"Enemy present at the east side of the building" Sending a message
"Oooo I'll be sure to give you a night to remember me by," She said, throwing some ninja stars at him. He ducks a the stars before running and gunning the ninja girl as she continues to dodge his plasma shot, how the fuck dose he miss a 99% change to hit?
"Over here!" Artemis yells coming around the corner with Miss Martian notching an arrow.
"I got her." She declared
"Change of plans," Cheshire drops a pellet on the ground. Black smoke erupts as Artemis shoots her arrow.
"She got away," Artemis curses seeing she missed
Michael turns around preparing to head back to his post.
'Our location is compromised, I suggest a new defense location,' he reports over the mental link
Kid Flash ran to see all of them
"She's getting away! You're letting her get away!" Kid Flash yelled looking over at Artemis "This is all your fault! You were on the perimeter! How'd that Shadow get in?!" he shouted at her as Artemis narrowed her eyes and sneered at the speedster while Michael was looking annoyed at this point
"And that's not really fair," Miss Martian said, coming to her defence as well. "I was outside, too,"
"Outside being distracted by her," He tried to defend. "Besides, I can't be mad at you," He said smiling at the Martian pissing off Michael
"For Christ sake can you just get over that fact that your boyfriend Roy doesn't want to be on the fucking team and don't blame her for any every stupid shit that happens so pack your shit as we got a bloody mission to do" Michael yelled at Kid Flash who backed
"Hey don't drag Roy into his" Kid Flash argues while Artemis looks happy people are standing up for her
"Focus, everyone," Kadur said, stopping the argument from continuing. "The shadows will be back,"
"Robin to Aqualad," Robin said, speaking into their coms.
Bioship
"We're over Philadelphia," Robin said. "We've located the shadows' next target, Star Labs,"
He looked up to see a building crumble to the ground.
"We're too late," He said as he and Superboy watched in horror at the destruction. "It's destroyed, totally destroyed," Robin continued "The fog decimated it,"
"This is bad," The boy wonder continued looking over at the kryptonian. "Star Labs is cutting-edge science, and now their secrets are in the hands of the enemy,"
Back to the others
"Rescan for that fog and find it," Aquald ordered. "We're moving the Doctor,"
"Before that?" Robin spoke up once again, "Can you send us Michael," The boy wonder requested. "With his ice we can contain the fog in a barrier. And we get the data back with his Skulljack,"
"That's going to be a negative," Aqualad said. "We need Michael due to the assassins the shadows sent and something tells me they're going to be back with more allies,"
"Sorry but I don't have my Skulljack on me right now" Michael feeling a bit sheepish
"Dude why not" Kid Flash asked
"Hey I thought we were just protecting the VIP while she made the virus" Michael said about not giving the proper details "If hacking was involves then someone should have said something" Michael needs information he order to prepare for the mission, without information he might miss a crucial detail to do. Like right now
"Then what do you suggest," Robin asked. "We can't let the Shadows get any more information to themselves and I doubt anyone in the next target is any safer than Star Labs were"
Robin was right. Sending Michael was a smart play so he lost the rob down but so was keeping him here.
Damnit what should he do!
"I have a suggestion,"
Aqualad looked over at Michael has he pressed a data pad, than out of no ware a robot comes out of nowhere
"What the hell?" Artemis said in shock
"What is this thing?" Kid Flash was amazed looking at the flying robot
"Everyone I like you to meet SP-5 my GREMLIN which is a highly specialized drone, she can hack and slow down the fog" SP-5 flouts around in front of them
"How come you never show us this before?" Aqualad seeing the drone hide behind Michael
"She a little shy around to people" Michael explain padding the drone in reassurance
"Ok SP this is your time to shine," Michael encouge the drone who pecks up "Now head to Robin's location and try to delay the fog ok?" He ask as the drone nods before heading out as Michael nods to Aqualad
Aqualad nod "Robin Michael sent a drone that should help you with the fog" He said
"What?!" The boy wondered, not really believing what he heard.
"I'll explain later," Michael said. "But I need you to listen,"
"Ok," Robin answered.
"SP-5 will listen to anything you tell her," He explained. "So when you get to the fog you can use her to analyse and copy all of the information it took and use her Chain Jolt to slow down the fog"
"Ok I understand," Robin said
"Good," Michael said. "What's our next move," He asked looking over at the team leader.
"Now we move" Aqualad answered simply.
LINE
The team relocated to a nearby coffee shop. Aqualad was stationed outside while Artemis and Kid Flash were in the store with Roquette.
'Stop it,' Aqualad said through the link.
'What?' Kid Flash and Artemis asked at the same time.
"Miss Martian, stay in camouflage mode and make a wide perimeter sweep," Aqualad said out loud as he moved to another tree before getting knock-out by Cheshire
Cheshire landed down next to Hook and Black Spider as they looked down at the unconscious atlantean.
"The martian could return any second and I'm not keen on evening their odds," She said. "We end Roquette now," as they all move in at the location
Bioship
"The next target's a Waynetech facility," Robin said as they saw the building. "In theory, its systems software could be used to hack the," The boy wonder stopped realizing he wasn't only one in the ship.
"The what?" Superboy asked, looking at him.
"Doesn't matter," Robin answered quickly. "What matters is Waynetech operates a 24-hour workforce. We'll never evacuate the building in time," He said.
That's when something blipped on the radar. It was heading towards them.
"That must be Michael's drone," Superboy said. "Open the back hatch," Robin nodded and the hatch opened and the drone flew in.
It start to blink at them before hovering about Robin
"So this is Michael's drone" Superboy said looking at the drone
"Michael did say it can hack and shock the fog" Robin said also looking at the drone
LINE
"You'll never find Dr. Roquette," Miss Martian said staring down Cheshire.
The assassins had tried to create a distraction while Cheshire attempted to kill the doctor from the window.
Too bad the doctor had actually been Miss Martian in disguise.
"Never such a long time," Cheshire said looking at the Martian. "Pursuing target, keep 'em busy," She ordered before running off.
Miss Martian attempted to follow but was stopped when Hook launched his metal arm towards her.
"Pursuing their leader," Artemis shouted as she ran after the masked assassin. "Take the rest down," She said as she ran past Kid Flash.
"You are so not the boss of me," The speedster shouted, glaring at the retreating blonde.
"Just do it!" She shouted over her shoulder.
When Cheshire reached the truck she saw that Aqualad was gone.
"Oh, I do not like being played," She grumbled out before she activated a thermal scanner in her mask and followed the red feat on the ground.
LINE
Dr. Roquette sits at the computer typing away. Her eyes drift over to the person that is standing guard. The snake-like member of the team that called her a weak bitch stayed behind to protect her and was standing guard. He is leaning against the wall staring up at the ceiling while holding his weird gun. Out of all the members on the team he is the one that acts as if he wants nothing to do with protecting her as Aqualad promised to protect her, but she is not so sure that the guy with her will risk his life to keep that promise as for what he said before.
"The virus is complete. I am uploading it now," Dr. Roquette said, proud of her work.
"Michael! One of the assassins managed to escape and is heading towards your location!'"Aqua yells though the link
"I see her" he said as he uses his Frost Axe bladestorm to knock aside the ninja star, see Cheshire emerge out of the shadow
"Told you it will be a night to remember" as Cheshire rushes Michael using her sword while he parries her with his axe.
Slash Slash
Both of them crash weapons together causing sparks, as the fight goes on Cheshire notices her handle is getting colder looking down, eyes widen in surprise seeing her weapon practically frozen. Michael swung the axe at her direction, trying to block it with her sword only for it to shatter into metal pieces. Gritting her teeth, she pulls out all her sai to try and break his defences. Only for a heavy swing of the axe knocks both her sai away before using the blunt end of the weapon to her stomach than to her head knocking her on her back, coughing up blood looking up seeing her opponent point a nail like gun at her head, Coughing a bit
"Good thing I didn't come along," Cheshire smirks
Michael turns to see a figure bursts out of the shadows behind Dr. Roquette. It never gets close to her when Michael uses Justice to hit the figure and drag the person to his position before throwing the person at Cheshire who dodges.
The figure was clearly female though human but that is up for debate. She possesses short white spiky hair, putrid green eyes that are slits instead of pupils, and scale-like skin. Wearing a green outfit that reveals her curvaceous form along with gauntlets with metal claws that are dripping with poison, she almost looks like a human Viper Hybrid.
"Let me introduce you to Copperhead, you two would look so cute together," Cheshire as they both get up ready for round two

"It's downloading!" Robin shouted as he saw Roquettes programming getting uploaded with SP-5 boasting the connection
Superboy looked down and saw Ojo getting ready to activate the fog.
"Don't need it!" He shouted before jumping out of the bioship.
"Superboy!" Robin called but was too late to stop the kryptonian as the drone turn to 'look' at him.
Ojo looked up to see Superboy coming towards him. He scowled before activating his helmet and shooting a powerful blast at the kryptonian. Superboy took the whole attack getting blasted to the other side of the parking lot.
He turned and activated the fog. The cylinder opened and the nanites flew out and headed towards the Waynetech building.
"No!" Robin shouted before jumping out of the bioship and running into the building with the drone following.
"Try the stop the fog" Robin yells to the drone that turns to face the fog
SP-5 sees the Fog coming toward her as she charges her electricity using Chaining Jolt to start shocking all the nanites causing them to stop. As SP-5 hovers around some of the nanites start to get back up cause her to use Voltaic Arc to shock them as they try to pass her, while she stops most of them a few did pass her but she kept the majority of them at bay.
"What in the-" A security guard said as he watched he saw Robin past him. "Hey! You can't come in here!" He shouted but Robin ignore as a few nanites go pass them
"Unauthorized entry!" He shouted into his walkie talkie.
Robin looked ahead of him and saw the security gates closing to prevent him from going farther into the building.
"Waynetech override, Archie 4," He shouted and the gates reversed.

Michael aims this Bolt caster on both the girls as each of them was cautious of the gun.
"I am going to enjoy drinking his blood," Copperhead smirks. She darts forward at surprising speeds. Michael shot at her as she dodges ducking under while getting closer to Michael, why is he missing.
Copperhead was fast but Vipers were much faster, using Retribution to block her left claws as he used the momentum to spin kicks Copperhead away as he turned using a chemthrower to stop Cheshire from advancing.
She leaps back scowls feeling the chill of nearly getting frozen
Copperhead darts forward moving like a snake to attack from various angles. Michael nearly caught with her movement before getting behind and about to sink her fangs at him
"I got you…" Whatever Copperhead said was cut short when Michael grabbed her body on the side, falling down slamming her head hard on the concrete.
Thud
Leaving a knock-out Copperhead, Michael spent years fighting Vipers both as an enemy and as allies. And Michael knows how to take down Vipers in three different ways.
Michael stares at Cheshire seeing she shriving feeling the effects of the Cryolator
"If you surrender I can show you a night to remember" Michael said using her words against her
Cheshire chuckles at the words and see he brutalize Copperhead before hearing others coming and seeing the doctor finish the virus
"My My you are cold blood, maybe next time hero seeing that the doctor has finished the virus" Cheshire said looking at the freighter doctor "the Shadows could make use of you at a later date" She ran as Michael started shooting at her.

Superboy rolled to the side once again. "Damnit how much longer he grunted," As if on cue the drone flew towards him, showing him the completed scan.
Superboy gave a wild grin.
"Perfect,"
Ojo fired off another beam and Superboy held his hand out. The beam pushed him back a few feet but he recovered and began walking forward. Ojo looked on in shock when Superboy grabbed his head causing the energy to backfire.
"Unh!" He shouted in pain after the helmet exploded. He fell, over unconscious. "That takes care of that," Superboy said. He looks to see the drone hover next to him; he looks confused before putting his hand on it. Patting it and seeing it hum with delight as he smiles
"Yes you did well too" before it started hovering over spraying something in the air around him
"Hey what are you..." but stop feeling a pleasant and refreshing feel over his body and seeing the marks on his arm disappear.
"Thank you" He said to the drone who nods back to him.
LINE
"You saved me," says Doctor Roquette "but what you said" she question
Michael sign as he looked at he "Listen what you made was great and could be used to betterment humanity but your so preoccupied that you could do, that you didn't stop to think if you should" Michael explain to her "you need discipline and understanding in what your making and try to look at the ethics of what it can cause and not just the profit, otherwise people can uses it for immoral purpose and blame you for it" Michael said looking at her
Doctor Roquette was floored at his, she thought he was cold and uncaring, but in truth she saw a hurt and tired look in his eye showing her that he has seen this happen before.
Both turn to see Miss Martian, Aqualad and Artemis come too
"Are you okay?" Miss Martian as in worry as Michael raised an eyebrow as
Miss Martian looks over to see the assassin knocked out on the ground as a smile forms on her face.
"I guess I had no reason to worry." Miss Martian said
"You managed to capture one, good work," Aqualad praises, as he turns to face Dr. Roquette.
"Robin managed to upload the virus destroying the Fog."
Dr. Roquette looks at Michael "thank you for telling me about the values of ethic"
"Your welcome" Michael said as Aqualad walks up to them
"Red Tornado contacted the local authorities. They are going to take care of the assassins. We will take Dr. Roquette back to the cave where she can use the Zeta Tube to home," Aqualad says.
"Artemis you did good work today. Welcome to the team." Michael said to Artemis who looks flatter at the praise
Miss Martian approaches Artemis. "It is great to finally have another girl on the team." A small smile forms on Artemis's face.
Michael is happy at another successful mission and loves his Serpent armor, now he just needs a name for it.
Cold-Blooded sounds fitting
Star City much later
Roquette entered her condo exhausted, not even bothering to turn in the lights, after weeks of being held captive and another night of avoiding assassination, she just wanted some peace and quiet.
She entered her Kitchen which connected to the living room. She pulled out a bottle of water and began to drink it.
"Thirsty?" Someone hiding in the shadows asked, causing Roquette to choke and drop the water. She turned and saw Cheshire sitting there on a bar stool, with no mask, and an empty plate.
"Hope you don't mind, I was feeling rather famished." She said casually while getting up.
"What do you want, to kidnap me again, or make you another Fog?" Roquette asked in fear
"Actually nothing, but to say I'm sorry." Cheshire replied, sincerely.
"Excuse me?" Roquette replied not believing what she had just heard.
"Apparently my orders were not so clear, so I'm sorry for giving you false hope." Cheshire answered, while raising a sai, signifying that she was here to kill her.
Roquette backed up to the wall wide eyed, as Cheshire came closer to her. Just as she was about to strike, a loud noise was heard from the door
BOOOOM
An explosion was heard at the front door as Cheshire turned and saw a bulky red and black robot figure with a with a angular shaped head, and holding a big gun
"So sorry was I interrupting your private time" The robot said pointing the big gun a Cheshire
"What the hell." Cheshire said seeing a random robot coming out of nowhere.
"Sorry to interrupt meatbags." The robot said before aim its gun at Cheshire "Actually no I'm not"
Than started firing just as Cheshire throw a smoke bomb, but she didn't escape without getting hit
"Owwww" Cheshire holding her arm as she when under the counter
"What happened, where is she, who are you?" Dr Roquette asked frantically before she suddenly was knocked out from behind and carried out of the blast zone.
"Finish the shadow off" A French accent sounding voice said
"Don't tell me how to kill rookie" the robot said before shooting the whole apartment
Sportsmaster came in to see what was going on but dodge as soon as gun fire happens
"What the fuck is going on?" Sportmaster said, looking over reading his ball grenades
"OOO another meatbag, don't worry I got a bullet for you too" The robot said before shooting at Sportmaster causing him to run back but not before throw his grenades
BOOOOM
As the explosion happen the bullets stop Sportmaster went to check his daughter to help explain what happened
"You mind telling were a killer robot came from" Not caring if his daughter is shot right not
"I would tell you if you help me out of this place" Cheshire grits her teeth at the pain and her father been here
"And I thought you were my daughter" Sportmaster mocked
"And I thought you were smarter than that" a robotic voice said causing both to look up to see the robot not even scratched from the explosion
"I'll be sure you two die together" the robot shifts a another gun came from its right shoulder that fires a missile at their area causing the floor to crash causing a collapse
As the house burn we see a figure holding a past out Dr Roquette while waiting for a ride
"This is Big Sky, coming in for pick-up" a young female voice comes from the radio
"Copy that" the figure said lighting up a cigarette as a Plane start to land
"Too you long enough" the figure said as the robot comes from behind
"Do forgive me rookie but I was just finish the mission without your help" the robot voice said
"Don't call me a rookie, I have been in more missions before you'd even kill you first man" the man reveals himself to be dressed in a team-coloured pinstripe suit, balaclava, and tie, and is wearing a ski mask to completely cover his face. This was the master of disguises hired by the Commander of XCOM, code name Spy.
(The Spy from Team Fortress 2)
"Did you kill them?" The Spy said, hired by Michael to try and rescue a lady in distress and kill anyone who tried to assassinate her, a simple mission at best and the Commander promised further payment and more gadgets to add to his arsenal if proven his worth. A challenge he would gladly pass.
"I shot a rocket at their faces and at the building itself," The Robot was no other than Julian sent to ensure the package was secure and no one lives to tell the tale, shooting a rocket at someone in a collapsing building tends to kill them.
"You'd be surprised what people can survive though" The Spy speaking from experience
"Whatever can we do now, I just started watching Stranger Things and I was right about to start the next episode" Julian said heading to the Skyranger, with nothing to do Julian started watching Netflix to pass the time now he hooked on a few shows.
As Spy just chuckled before heading to the Skyranger, seeing an opportunity in a new adventure.
