A/N: Okay so I decided to update at least one chapter now as I've made you wait for so long. After this I wont be updating until I've completed up to chapter 5. It shouldn't take me to long as I've got transcripts for the episodes and nothing to do but write.
Anyway- Enjoy :)
Mount Justice; August 8th; 9:58 EDT
Wynonna's P.O.V.
Kaldur, M'gann, Robin, Connor and I all decided to spend the day down at the beach by the cave. School starts up soon for M'gann, Connor and I so we're making the most of summer; Robin won't tell us when he has to go back, I guess it's so we don't guess his identity or something, I don't know. Anyway, M'gann packed a picnic lunch for us, Kaldur found a volleyball and Robin has his boogie board in his hands.
M'gann is standing in front of us with her arms stretched out, She smiled and said
"Hello, Megan. We should hit the beach everyday." We all smiled at her. Robin then lowered his head into his free hand whilst saying
"First, a moment of silence for our… absent comrade." I shook my head and said
"Poor Wally." Wally went back to school today, that's what makes this even better because he knows we are here.
A couple of hours after being down at the beach, M'gann, Robin, Kaldur and Connor are all in the water. I'm currently sitting on some rocks watching them. M'gann and Robin splash each other in the water. Kaldur stayed out because that would just be unfair. Though Connor jumps into a cannonball, landing right between the two, drenching all of them. M'gann laughs as she dodges the wave he created. Robin then yelled
"Come on Nonna!" I smiled and said
"I don't do well in water, remember" He just stuck his tongue out at me in response.
Out of everyone on the team, I'm closest with Robin. I don't know if it's because we're roughly the same age or what, but I'd say we're pretty good friends. When I first met him, I actually had a crush on him for ages but then the team formed and I let it go. Having a crush on your teammates is never a good idea, so we're just really good friends (Not that he knows about the crush).
For the rest of the day we enjoyed playing volleyball, enjoying the picnic M'gann made and at some point Connor fell asleep, so we took the opportunity to bury him in the sand. M'gann pats the tip of the sand mountain, while Robin and I pat the other side. While Kaldur holds a red bucket, pouring more sand onto the side closer to Connor's face with a smirk.
He only woke up when red tornado came out and said
"Batman wishes to see you" as quickly as he appeared he went back inside. Connor stood up and the sand stuck to his body. When I stood up I said
"So who wants to get changed the old fashioned way?" Kaldur then said
"If you wouldn't mind Wynonna?" I smiled and replied
"Not at all" I then clicked my fingers and a red smoak surrounded us. When it cleared we were all in our uniforms.
When we arrived in the main hall of the cave Artemis was there with Green Arrow. Batman and Red Tornado were also there. We're just waiting on Wally.
Recognized: Kid Flash; B-0-3
Right on time…
When the light from the Zeta tube faded we saw his arms full of stuff you'd use at the beach
"The Wall-man is here! Let's get this party star-uhn!" he's cut off as he trips on the pole of his umbrella, falling flat on his face. The beach ball is bouncing into the main room just past an angry Batman as he watches Wally skid towards them. Lifting his head he sees us dressed for a mission.
"...ted." We all look to him with knowing smiles and hold no remorse at him making a fool of himself. Artemis then said
"Wall-man, huh?" Wally stood up and went to say something but stopped when the computer announced
Recognized: Speedy; B-0-6
Wally, Robin, Kaldur and I all tensed at the announcement of his arrival. Roy hasn't met Artemis yet so this could get interesting. As he walked out of the Zeta tube, Roy said
"Well for starters, he doesn't go by Speedy anymore. Call me Red Arrow." Before anyone else could say anything Green Arrow beat us to it
"Roy. You look-" Red Arrow cuts him off as he walks to the center of the training circle and looked at Artemis
"-Replaceable"
"It's not like that. You told me you were going solo"
"So why waste time finding a sub? Can she even use that bow?"Artemis stepped forward with her bow in her hand as she said
"Yes, she can."
"Who even are you?" she then replied
"I'm his niece." At the same time says Green Arrow
"She's my niece." I then muttered to Robin
"Awkward"
In an attempt to defuse the situation, Kaldur stepped forward and said
"But she is not your replacement. We have always wanted you on the Team, and we have no quota on archers" Wally then piped up and said
"And if we did, you know who we'd pick." He's had a problem with Artemis ever since she came along. Artemis then said to him as I rolled my eyes
"Whatever, Baywatch, I'm here to stay." I then whispered
"Arràcher soit je" With a small movement from my hand Wally held the back of his head and said
"Ow! Hey no magic" I shrugged and said
"Technically it's not magic" Roy then said
"You've got better at that" I put my hands in my jacket pockets and said
"Practice. Anyway, You came here for a reason Roy"
"Yeah, a reason named Dr. Serling Roquette."
Roy looked to Robin who tenses immediately at the name. Rob then smiled as he pulled up the data on his hologlove.
"Nanorobotics genius and electronics expert at Royal University in Star City- vanished two weeks ago." he states as screens around the whole circle come up. Roy then corrected
"Abducted two weeks ago by the League of Shadows" Robins face lit up as he said
"Whoa. You want us to rescue her from the Shadows?" Wally then yelled
"Hard-core." Wally agrees, offering a fist to Robin. Which the Boy Wonder hits on top, then underneath, then on top again.
Roy folded his arms and said
"I already rescued her. Only one problem. The Shadows had already coerced her into a weapon, Doc calls it the Fog, composed of millions of microscopic robots, nanotech infiltrators, capable of disintegrating anything in their path- concrete, steel, flesh, bone.- but it's true purpose isn't mere destruction. It's theft. The infiltrators eat and story raw data from any computer system and deliver the stolen data to the Shadows."
He gave us a moment to let the information sink in before saying
"Providing them access to weapons, strategic defence, cutting edge science and tech." Artemis then said
"Perfect for extortion, manipulation, and power brooking. Yeah. Sounds like the Shadows." Wally then said to her
"Like you know anything about the Shadows." What he didn't expect is for her to smile tauntingly at him. His smirk falls and he looks confused before finally shouting out what's on his mind.
"Who are you?!"
Roy deliberately ignored them as he said
"Roquette's working on a virus to render the Fog inert." I then said
"But if the Shadows know she can do that…" Roy cut me off by saying
"They'll target her. Right now, she's off the grid. I stashed her at the local high school's computer lab" Green Arrow then questioned
"You left her alone?"
"She's safe enough for now."
"Then let's you and I keep her that way." Green Arrow offers stepping closer to the young man he mentored.
"You and I? Don't you want to take your new protogé?"
Before Green Arrow can say anything, Batman places a dark hand on his shoulder. Stopping the blonde in his tracks. He glances back at the Dark Knight before turning back to Roy.
"You brought this to the Team. It's their mission, which means it's her's now, too."
"Then my job's done." he says walking back towards the Zeta-Tubes.
Recognized: Speedy-
"That's Red Arrow, B06. Update." Roy corrected The Zeta Tube beeps, recognizing the update, and transporting him away.
Happy Harbor; 21:59 EDT
Roy thought it would be a good idea to move Dr. Serling Roquette to Happy Harbor High. It's close to the Cave if we need it and 3 of us go here, so we know our way around. Miss Martian and Superboy are on the roof with the Bioship camouflaged over their heads for a better view. While inside the school Aqualad checks the window to the hallway by the Computer Lab. Robin, Kid Flash, Red Arrow, Artemis and I are all in the computer lab with Dr Roquette.
Aqualad then rejoined us whilst saying
"Miss Martian, link us up. We do not want the Shadows intercepting our comms" within second the mind link was connected, she then asked
"Everyone online?" still not used to the mind link, Artemis said
"Ohh. This is still weird." Dr Roquette briefly looked up from the computer and said
"And distracting" she began coding again whilst saying
"Coding a distributive algorithm virus on a kiddie computer with RAM rather than a wristwatch is hard I have to hear teen-think in my skull?" she gripped her head with annoyance and perceived pain from a headache she's bound to get.
I'm sitting on one of the tables with my legs crossed, Kid Flash is sat on the window ledge eating a granola bar, Robin is looking out of the partially opened blind of the same window row, Aqualad is hovering behind Dr Roquette whilst Artemis is sat next to her. Kid Flash then said
"Lady, do you always complain when someone tries to help you?" Artemis then shot back
"Pot, kettle. Have you met?" immediately, Kid jumped up and said
"Hey. Hey, I do not need attitude from the newbie who drove Red Arrow off the Team" I glared over at him and flash my red eyes, that always creeps him out. Artemis then stood up, pointed at him and said
"That is so not on me." Behind her Roquette stopped typing to give into her annoyance.
"Fate of the world at stake." Kid pointed at Artemis and said
"She started it" I got off the table and replied
"And i'm ending it"
Artemis then began walking towards the door whilst saying
"How about I just help Superboy and Miss Martian patrol the perimeter?" Aqualad replied
"Good idea." His tone is formal as ever but there's a noted edge of stress to his simple words. I then said
"I'll join you, I could use the air" I quickly caught up with her and we started to walk towards the exits.
As we were walking through the halls we could hear the boys talking over the mind link. Kid Flash was the first voice we heard
"You might cut her some slack. It was her arrow that saved your butt against Amazo" next was Robin
"What? No! That was Speedy's—I mean, Red Arrow's… arrow. Right?"
"Not so much."
"Well, still not giving her the satisfaction." I then stopped walking, looked at artemis and said out loud
"I wonder if he knows how the mind link actually works" She smiled at me before saying over the mindlink smugly
"You know, I can still hear you!"
When Artemis and I joined the others outside, she joined Miss Martian patrolling on foot, whilst I joined Superboy on the roof. Superboy is walking the perimeter but soon came to a stop. I was going to ask him what was wrong but he jumped to the ground with precision, grace, and ease. I looked over the edge and saw him land behind a tense M'gann and Artemis. The archer even had her bow strung. Though brushes it off and walked away from the girls.
I followed him whilst still on the rooftop as Artemis said through the mind link
"Mmm...that boy." Superboy turned back, but upon seeing the look on her face his eyes widened, realizing she meant him. I smiled at the surprised look on his face. Miss Martian then said
"He can hear you" I then said
"We can all hear you" Artemis then said
"Oh, I know." Even though the mind link you could hear the smugness in her voice.
Everyone then stopped what they were doing when Aqualads voice came through the mind link
"Miss Martian, Dr. Roquette has located the Fog. reconfigure the Bioship so that Robin, Phoenix and Superboy can pursue" I saw the camouflaged Bioship move into a small field and it landed as Miss Martian replied
"Ready." I ran towards the edge and flipped off the rooftop. I landed as Robin ran out of the building, we met up with Superboy at the ship as the hatch opened. It closed straight after us. Superboy and I sat in our normal seats whilst Robin took the pilots seat, we were in the air within seconds.
We went to the location given by Dr Roquette but we got here too late.
"Robin to Aqualad. We're over Philadelphia. We've located the Shadows' next target, STAR Labs." i then took over
"We're too late. It's destroyed, totally destroyed" Superboy then said
"The Fog decimated it." We looked over the broken remains of the entire lab, everything sharded and cracked. Robin then spoke
"This is bad. STAR Labs is cutting-edge science, and now their secrets are in the hand of the enemy." There's actually a bit of anger starting to show through in his words. I looked between Superboy and Robin before saying
""What's our next move?" he didn't respond for a couple of minutes, but when he did he said
"We're moving the doctor."
It was about 15 minutes before we were sent a new location. We were alerted to it when Robin's wrist computer bleeped. He looked at it and said
"The next target's a WayneTech Facility."
When we arrived outside WayneTech Rob said
"In theory, it's system software could be used to hack the-" he cuts himself off. His voice was laced with all kinds of emotions, i've never heard him sound like this before. Superboy turned in his chair and said
"The what?"
"Doesn't matter." Robin tried to brush it off.
"Wh-what matters is WayneTech. operates a 24-hour workforce. We'll never evacuate the building in time" I then stood up and said
"Well we'd better find whoever had the fog then"
A couple minutes later the algorithm Dr Roquette was working on to stop the fog was sent to Robin. So with the bioship still camouflaged Superboy, Robin and I stood by the open back hatch. Scanning the area. Bringing up the progression page Robin said
"It's downloading" Superboy then stepped forward and growled
"Don't need it!" He then jumped out of the Bioship. Rob and Then yelled at the same time
"Superboy!" but we could only watch as he jumped right at cyclops.
We soon followed but before we actually reached Superboy, Cyclops fired something at him sending him crashing down onto the concrete. Cyclops went to shoot the same thing at me and Rob, but I used my shielding abilities to stop and absorb the energy. Cyclops then turned back to the container at his feet and released the Fog.
"No!" I then turned to Rob and said
"Go, I'll catch up" Robin then grappled to the nearest light pole then flipped to get to the next and land before the surface level of the WayneTech facility. Superboy then got back onto his feet. I quickly sent a fire ball towards Cyclops before saying to Superboy
"You got this?"
"I got this" I then turned and ran after Robin.
I have enhanced speed to a certain degree, it's not flash speed but when we tested it I could run about 120MPH and can run 13 miles in about 30 minutes. Thanks to this I caught up with Robin easily. I caught up to him as he rolled underneath the security gate. I slid under the gate too and ran so I was next to him.
We followed the fog through the hallways. The Fog crashed through a set of windows low on the left side. The lights went black in that segment, the Fog continued on taking out more windows and lights as they started to overrun the building.
We ran into one of the building cafeterias as a group of workers ran out. Only a young woman with brunette hair remained by her work station. Robin then looked at me and said
"Think you can contain it for a couple minutes" I shrugged and said
"I can try" He then ran over to the counter whilst I turned towards the fog.
I'm not great at using my spiritual powers but I know some of the basics. So whilst Robin was doing whatever he was doing, I raised both my hands out in front of me and muttered
"Sanctus Espiritus" My hands started glowing red and the fog was contained But I could feel it trying to get out.
As I held the fog for a couple of minutes, I see the containment bubble starting to break up.
"Robin, I can't hold this for long!" The fog then started going red but soon disappeared. I dropped my hands as Robin stood up saying
"Yes! The infiltrators have been outfiltrated!" I looked at him, smiled and said
"Seriously, Outfiltrated?" He smiled and shrugged in return.
We then left the building and went outside. As we left the building we saw Superboy standing over an unconscious cyclops. I then pressed my comm unit and said
"Aqualad, The fog has been neutralised. Hows things on your end?"
"We're ready for a pick up"
"We're on our way"
