DC: Gunmetal

Leo was always just enjoying life, whether it be playing games with friends, partying late at night, or dancing with a girl no one else would, he simply lived his life. He couldn't call himself a good or bad person, simply being another human, but his own heroic action got him shot. Did he learn to not be a hero? No, in fact when he suddenly woke up with a game-like system in front of his face, giving him a pistol that magically took enemies down, but didn't kill them? He decided he would become a superhero... Too bad he didn't notice that someone was watching, someone that he'd never thought he'd see outside a game he played once. ------------- Fair warning, I know almost nothing about DC, so anything you see that might not be canon during certain times, or anything that seems out of place where Leo is, is just me adding things. This novel is purely so I can get more comfortable with the setting, the people, and what they do, as I try to write a good enough interpretation for the characters Leo meets. I am still doing some research while I write, but I will not be following any real 'Timeline.' Leo does fuck, just not right way.

Meeting the 'Team'

Both Leo and Tim groaned as they got out of the back seat with their bags, only Leo waving as Bruce pulled off.

''How does it feel, Leo 'Smith' to be another one of the Orphans Bruce Wayne has taken under his 'Wing''' Tim chuckled as they walked towards the high school, it has been almost 6 months since Leo had arrived.

''Honestly? Pretty badass, just think. We're the filthy rich kids, at any point we could buy a small store with our monthly allowance.'' Leo snickered, followed by Tim.

''Now that you put it that way, it does sound pretty cool. Sorry that you're meeting the team before you meet our 'Brother and Sister.' "

''It's fine, I was interested to see how teen superhero hides their identity in public.'' Leo chuckled softly, keeping his voice low on purpose.

Tim raised his shoulders. ''It's actually pretty easy, but you'd think people would find it out more easily.''

Soon they entered into the school, Tim getting called out by a few people as he waved at them, before heading straight for the cafeteria.

The moment Leo seen the group they were heading to, he could tell who everyone was. The large black teen was definitely Cyborg, but even closely investigating lead him to see no circuitry out in the open.

Cyborg was the first one to notice them as he waved them over with a grin. Followed by an energetic wave from a white smaller teen who was grinning eat to ear, Leo noticed that the boys teeth were sharper then the average humans.

He was also able to pick out Star Fire and Raven.

Once they were in front of them, Tim slapped Leo's shoulders. ''Everyone! Meet our new friend Leo Smith, this is my friend, tall dark and handsome Victor Stone.''

Victor stood, shaking Leo's hand firmly. ''A pleasure to finally meet you Leo.''

Then he waved to the energetic white kid who was already up, rapidly shaking Leo's hand. ''Hey, I'm Garfield, or Gar by most, it's so cool to finally have a new person on the te- sorry. In the friend group.''

Raven spoke up as Leo had to wrestle his hand from Garfield's grip. ''Rachel, greetings.''

It was then Starfire who stood up, taking his hand and shaking it with a smile on her face. ''Hello Fellow Earthling Leo!, I am S- there was a thud as she was kicked beneath the table.

''Kory A-N-D-E-R-S.''

Leo snickered at how funny it was to hear her speak in real life, shaking her hand firmly. ''And you guys stay under the radar?''

Victor snickered a bit, leaning back in his chair as they all took a seat, the only open seat at the table was next to Rachel, who shifted a bit by pulling her backpack from the seat and setting it onto the ground.

''It's because I hack the school cameras and make sure they don't pick up anything, just in case.''

Leo nodded a bit, scratching at his chin. ''Maybe I would be able to find some sort of... Thing that could help us better.''

Gar spoke up immediately. ''Would you be able to find that in your store?''

''Gar SH! You're being loud again.''

It was Tim who caught him, Rachel rolling her eyes. ''Not like anyone would be able to hear us in all this, it's always loud during the morning and afternoon.''

Leo lifted the breakfast bar he had pulled from his inventory, hiding that he was taking it out of his backpack. ''Food does that to people, a time to converse, just as the ancient times.''

Seeing the breakfast bar, Tim smiled a bit before he tilted his head a bit towards the camera behind Leo.

Leo didn't need to look to understand what he was doing.

''Victor, is anyone looking our way?''

Victor seemed to look off a bit as if checking something before he grinned. ''Not a one, someone just started a fight in the east hall so we're free.''

Leo put a hand on Garfield's books in front of him. ''Can I burrow these a moment?''

Gar raised a brow. ''Sure?''

Tim spoke up. ''If it's an owned object, Leo needs permission, unless he takes out the owner, then he can 'Loot' it.''

Suddenly, Gar's books vanished, before reappearing.

Rachel's brows furrowed a bit, Gar bursting with excitement at how cool it was, starting to examine his books for any residual magicness.

''We heard a small bit about your abilities, but that wasn't magic, despite it clearly seeming like it.''

Leo shrugged his shoulders as the bell rung. ''I'll show you guys my abilities in action after school, Batman wants us on patrol, East Docks tonight.''

There was a nod from all of them as they stood.

As Leo headed for his classes he noticed that Rachel was following beside him, she turned to look at him before she motioned her head to the paper he was holding with his class schedules and where they were located.

He handed them to her, she took them and went over them quickly before she laughed slightly. ''Seems you got all the same classes I do, Leo we share third with Victor and Kory, then fifth with Tim.''

''None with Garfield?''

Rachel handed him back his paper, Leo folded it and put it into his pocket. ''Well, technically we have 2nd with him, which is history, but he would never be caught alive in that class, and he can barely sit through his other ones.''

''Looks like you got me to yourself for the day, please be gentle with me.'' Leo chuckled.

Rachel shook her head a bit. ''Spend too much time with me, and people will start to avoid you. As they do me.''

''Yes, because I want to get close to anyone here when it's already a pain I'm being forced to be here.''

Rachel smiled at that as they entered their first class.
