9 Ch 9

<Third Person POV>

The Mount Justice Computer picks up the Zeta Tube usage, routing the users from North Carolina to the Mountain shown in Happy Harbor.

Recognize:

Robin; B-0-1,

Kid Flash; B-0-3.

Both boys appear in their civilian clothes. Smiling brightly, then running out of the Zeta Tube to the room they're connected to. Finding Miss Martian, Aqualad, and Superboy standing before a HoloScreen. "Did you ask him?" Robin asks. "What did he say?" Kid Flash follows up. "He is arriving now." Aqualad tells the two of them as calmly as always.

Kid Flash friendly punches Robin in the chest. "Then what are we waiting for?" before running off, Robin follows close behind, and finally Aqualad. Leaving Miss Martian and Superboy, the redhead smiles at the clone as she puts her hands on her hips. Superboy turns, crossing his arms over his t-shirt before walking off. Miss Martian smiles and takes flight to follow the boys. They arrive at one of the entrances which is a ramp that falls into the cave from the ground above them. All five walk up the ramp, as Red Tornado lands before them.

"Red Tornado!" Kid Flash calls out with a wave as the heroic android lands. "Greeting." he offers. "Is there a reason you intercept me outside the cave?" his monotone voice makes it rather hard to discern the question portion of his sentence. "We hoped you had a mission for us." Aqualad conveys to the hero. "Mission assignments are the Batman's responsibility." Red Tornado states simply.

"But it's been over a week and Batman has been busy with Gotham after the massacre, the new villain Reaper action killing Blackmask and all of the head of Roman Empire created chaos for Gotham criminal-underworld, he been busy defusing the situation and keeping tabs on Pinguin that have been taking over the major criminal-underworld, and the rise of the Falcone family headed by Sofia Falcone that came back from Italy" Robin say giving the team information about Gotham current situation.

"Do you really thing he is a villain, because from what I hear all of his victim are mafia and criminal" Kid Flash commented. Robin wanted to argue but he remembers one of the victims in the massacre on Roman Empire is Tony Zucco the man responsible for his parent murder.

"You'll be tested soon enough." the android states firmly. "For the time being, simply enjoy each other's company." , "This team is not a social club." Aqualad objects strongly. "No," Red Tornado agrees. "But I am told social interaction is an important team-building exercise. Perhaps you can keep busy by familiarizing yourselves with the cave." Tornado says, walking past the five teens and into the cave.

All five can only watch as he does. Kid Flash turns to Robin, punching him in the shoulder again. "＂Keep busy＂." the speedster nearly growls. "Does he really think we're falling for this?" Robin questions angrily, catching Superboy's attention in his anger. "Oh, I'll find out." Miss Martian says excitedly, then turns towards Red Tornado and her expression relaxes slightly.

Recognize:

Red Tornado; 1-6.

Miss Martian sighs. "I'm sorry, I forgot he's a machine, inorganic. I… cannot read his mind.". "Nice try, though." Kid Flash offers. "So, uh, you know what I'm thinking' right now?" he looks up at her with a flirtatious smile. "We all know what you're thinking' now." Robin grumbles and elbows the speedster's turned back. "Ow." he complains, but only seeming half-hearted about it. "And now we tour the clubhouse." Aqualad says sourly. "Well, Superboy and I live here. We can play tour guides." Miss Martian offers, looking to Superboy. Robin and Kid Flash instantly turn to Superboy. "Don't look at me." he tells them seriously. "We won't. A private tour sounds so much better." Kid Flash says, looking to Miss Martian again. "Sh- she never said private." Robin objects.

"Team building. We'll all go." Aqualad says, breaking up the argument before it can even start. They all turn to go back down the ramp, but Robin grabs Kid Flash's arm and yanks him back. "So, this would be our front door…" Miss Martian begins.

As they began the tour Miss Martian ask a question to Robin. "Robin, who is this Reaper ?, from the news they call him a villain but some of them praise his doing killing other villain". "At first Batman thought that Reaper in one of Victor Zsasz victim's family that wanted revenge that's why he kill Victor, but further investigation conclude that is just a ruse because on the same night he is also believe to kill Mad Hatter and Professor Pyg. After that he didn't appear at all until the massacre. Batman think that Reaper knows that on that day Batman will not be in Gotham and procced to go guns blazing" Robin answer.

"But all of his victims are criminal right? the one that often escape prison" ask Miss Martian. But Robin didn't answer back ( so from anything I knew from comic not many heroes care about no kill policy,Wonder Woman kills in world war, Green Arrow and Black Canary kills to escape the league of assasins, Flash kill either accidentally or not, Aquman also kill recently in the movie where he just left the villain to their dead)

Hearing silent Miss Martian continue the tour. "And this would be the back." Miss Martian continues as they come out on the other side of the mountain. "The cave is actually the entire mountain."

"It was hollowed out and reinforced by Superman and Green Lantern in the early days of the League." Wally explains what he knows about the history of the mountain. "Then why abandon it for the Hall of Justice?" Superboy questions. "The cave's secret location was… compromised." Aqualad explains. "So they traded it in for a tourist trap?" Superboy questions, confused. "Yeah. That makes sense.". "If the Bad Guys know of the cave, then we must be on constant alert." she raises her hand in accentuation, thinking she's figured it out. "The Bad Guys know we know they know about the place," Robin assures, grabbing her hand and turning her towards him, then putting his other hand on top of hers. "so they'd never think to look here." "Uh," Kid Flash interrupts and removing Robin's hand from Miss Martian's. "he means we're hiding in plain sight." "Ah, that's much clearer." Miss Martian still scratches her head, clearly still confused. Superboy sniffs twice. "I smell smoke."

Miss Martian gasps. "My cookies." then flies down the hallway. Making it to the kitchen and removing said cookies, with telekinesis, before the boys can make it into the room. As she sets them down the boys enter the room, looking at the burnt-black cookies on the tray. "I was trying Grammy Jones' recipe from episode 17 of-" she cuts herself off with an awkward chuckle. "Never mind." "I bet they'd tasted great." Robin assures then looks back to the other three boys. "He doesn't seem to mind." Surprised Miss Martian looks back up, finding Kid Flash eating her cookies. With his mouth still half full and a burnt cookie in each hand, Aqualad and Superboy can only watch in stunned silence. "I have a serious metabolism." he offers weakly. "I'll… make more?" Miss Martian seems unsure how to take that comment. "It was sweet of you to make any." Aqualad tells her. "Thanks, Aqualad." Miss Martian says, ducking her head slightly.

"We're off duty. Call me Kaldur'ahm." he insists. "Actually, my friends call me Kaldur." he clarifies with very little hesitance. "I'm Wally." Kid Flash speaks up, leaning on the island. "See? I already trust you with my secret ID, unlike Mr. Dark Glasses over here." Robin frowns and glares at Wally as he puts his hands on his hips, annoyed by the speedster's slightly accusatory tone. "Batman's forbidden Boy Wonder from telling anyone his real name." "Mine's no secret." Miss Martian admits brightly. "It's M'gann M'orzz. But you can call me Megan. It's an Earth name, I'm on Earth now." she seems really excited about that fact. Superboy remains slouched against the counter, then turns to leave which catches M'gann's attention. "Don't worry, Superboy." she tells him telepathically.

The clone grunts in shock and his posture tenses, looking at the green-skinned redhead in shock and possibly a tiny bit of fear. "We'll find you an Earth name, too." she continues, smiling kindly and totally unaware of what she's doing. Superboy's grips his head for a moment. "Get out of my head!" he shouts, gaining Kaldur, Wally, and Robin's attention in an instant. They all know what he does when he's angry, they look back to M'gann, a curious expression on their features. "What's wrong? I don't understand." she says, expanding her telepathic range to include Kaldur, Wally, and Robin.

All three react negatively to it. Robin physically grips his head with both hands, Kaldur turns away from M'gann closing his eyes and grimacing before finally putting his own hand to his head, while Wally brings his own hand to his forehead threading his fingers through his bright red hair, and Superboy's fists clench at his sides as he looks almost ready to pounce. "Everyone on Mars communicates telepathically." "M'gann stop." Kaldur commands anger clear in his voice. M'gann closes the link and looks confused and hurt, but listens to Kaldur continue. "Things are different on Earth. Here, your powers are an extreme invasion of privacy." Attempting to lighten the mood Wally adds in his two cents. "Besides, Cadmus' creepy little psychic G-gnomes left a bad taste in his brain." saying the last part behind his hand as if that will stop Superboy from hearing him and as if it is some big secret. "I- I didn't mean to-" M'gann tries. "Just stay out." Superboy growls cutting her off, his eyes burning bright with rage as he walks into the adjoining room. "Hello, Megan!" she says it brightly despite the fact that she hits her forehead with the heel of her hand. "I know what we can do." She takes off flying, leaving the four boys to follow her. Wally turns to Robin who shrugs, but all three do follow her. Though Superboy remains behind, but M'gann stands in the entry to the hallway. "Superboy, please." "Don't talk to me." he says, less angry and more instinctually annoyed. M'gann's face falls and Superboy looks out of the corner of his eye, seeing it. He looks back down before standing up. M'gann's face brightens, even though Superboy seems to only be doing this to not feel guilty about making a girl cry later.

Coming down the elevator they stop at the hangar. "It's my Martian BioShip." M'gann explains as the doors open. Leading the now curious boy towards a red oblong shape in the hangar. "Cute." Wally offers. "Not aerodynamic, but cute." "It's at rest, silly." M'gann smiles bright, reaching her hand out. "I'll wake it." as she does the oblong turns into a shape recognizable as a ship. She even spins 180° with just a motion of her hand. A small staircase comes off the back, showing off some of the insides. She walks towards it but soon realizes the boys aren't following. "Well, are you coming?" All four hesitate and board with nervous expressions. Once inside the front opens up to reveal a captain's chair and four more side chairs. "Strap in for launch." M'gann tells them. Kid Flash and Robin exchange bright grins before sitting down.

As he does Robin goes to lean forward as the chair moves, eliciting a "whoa" from the stunned- and possibly scared- Boy Wonder. The chair reaches out and creates chest restraints that hold the thirteen-year-old in place. Kid Flash sits down next and now knowing what happens, doesn't panic. "Cool." he tells M'gann. "Red Tornado," M'gann says, sitting in the captain's chair. "please open the bay doors." As the bay doors open two control towers form by M'gann's hands. Once open the BioShip flies out at impressive speeds, only to slow just above the surface of the water and begin a near 90° upward flight, before barrel rolling to face towards the mainland once more. "Incredible!" Robin tells M'gann, more likely impressed with the responsiveness and her piloting skills than anything.

"She sure is…" Wally agrees, but is entirely focused on M'gann, once she turns towards does he realize what he said. "I- I mean the ship, which like all ships, is a she." Robin is the first to point out Wally's crappy attempt at covering up what he said. "Fast with his feet, not so much with his mouth." "Dude!" Wally yells, mostly embarrassed, but clearly still at least a little annoyed with the smaller raven.

Kaldur turns to Superboy. "I may not have psychic powers, but I can guess what you're thinking." Superboy looks at Kaldur out of the corner of his eye. "You overreacted and you don't know how to apologize. Just say sorry." Kaldur treats it as if this happens regularly around him. Superboy doesn't say anything, merely looking out at the view once more. "He'll come around." Robin offers to M'gann, clearly knowing what the conversation between the two oldest- physically- members was about. "He doesn't seem to like me very much." M'gann says sadly. "You guys remember he has Super-Hearing," Wally interrupts, and proving his point by not bothering to whisper. "Right?" sure enough Superboy heard every word.

"Hey, how 'bout showing us a little bit of Martian Shapeshifting?" Robin asks, changing the topic. M'gann nods subtly, thanking him for the change, before stepping up and gaining Kaldur and Superboy's attention as her clothes begin to change. Making her look like a feminine version of Robin, costume included. Catching Wally's smirk she turns into a feminine version of Kid Flash. "Is it wrong that I think I'm hot?" Wally questions. No one responds to him, and Robin applauds M'gann. "Impressive," she turns back into herself. "but you know you're not exactly going to fool anyone with those." M'gann smiles softly as she sits down. "Mimicking boys is a lot harder." "And your clothes?" the Atlantean questions. "They're organic like the ship. They respond to my mental commands." M'gann explains, pulling on her jacket slightly.

"As long as they're the only ones." Superboy says darkly not caring that he's heard by all of them. "Can you do that ghosting through walls thing Manhunter does?" Wally asks. "Density shifting?" M'gann questions, though her smile doesn't return. "No, it's a very advanced technique…" Robin leans forward. "Flash can vibrate his molecules right through a wall." Then chuckles before gesturing to Wally. "When he tries it, bloody nose." "Dude!" Wally snaps, annoyed that he would tell her that. "Here's something I can do." M'gann says brightly, then the entire ship disappears from sight. "Camouflage Mode."

"Red Tornado to Miss Martian. An emergency alert has been triggered at the Happy Harbor Power Plant. I suggest you investigate covertly. I'm sending coordinates." all four are on high alert as the ship bings. "Received. Adjusting course." M'gann says. Robin scoffs. "Tornado's keeping us busy again." M'gann replies optimistically. "Well, a simple fire led you to Superboy. We should find out what caused the alert." as she takes the BioShip down and mere feet above the surface of the parking lot. Superboy turns out the side window. "I think I know the cause." he says, right outside the BioShip is a tornado. Heading right for them. M'gann attempts to alter their course so not to be swept up but is unsuccessful and the BioShip glitches out of Camouflage Mode as they get fully entangled in the tornado.

Trapped inside the tornado all of them hold on and grunt as the wind whips them around. M'gann manages to open her eyes and reorientate herself, as she does her brow drops in concentration and her hands firmly press on the control towers, illuminating them as she gets them out of the tornado and to the parking lot. Where Robin, Kid, Miss Martian, Superboy, and Kaldur all drop out of a door created in the bottom of the ship.

At the Power Plant, all the works are evacuating and screaming in fear."Robin, are tornadoes common in New England?" Aqualad questions, hearing no response he turns to where the Boy Wonder just was but finds the space between him and M'gann now empty. "Robin?"

The Boy Wonder's laugh echoes, but none of them can locate him."H- he was just here." M'gann objects.Their attention turns back to the Power Plant where the windows are being blown out. (Sorry for the copy paste show script I just do it to help with the word count :D)

<MC POV>

I'm tending my shop right now serving a smoothie to my customer, Amélie is not in as she was following her mother to metropolis in a business trip. Suddenly the power went out. Checking outside I see that all of the town power is down, and I hear an explosion at the Power Plant.

Taking a prototype mask inspired by Soldier 76 I go the explosion site. Inside the Power Plant is a red and black exo-suit, with blue tubing running from his shoulders, up and to his lower back, and a brown scarf covering his mouth. Tornado-like funnels coming from each hand. It was fighting 5 kids.
