Mt Olympus
Zeus was in the throne room of Olympus along with Athena, Artemis, and Poseidon. All of them pondering what they just felt from Earth.
Zeus look at Poseidon. "Brother, care to explain?" Poseidon looked just as confused as his brother. "I have no idea what that was, but someone of Divine nature was definitely using my domains."
"And I for a fact know that wasn't your trident."
"Father, if I may?" Athena spoke up.
"What is it daughter?"
"When was the last time our Uncle here visited Earth? Maybe he sired an offspring and didn't even realize it."
"No, that's impossible! The last time I even bedded a mortal was over a thousand years ago! Surely she's dead now, no one ever granted her immortality and she didn't even know who I was or who she was."
"Are you positive?"
"Certainly."
Zeus was deep in thought on his throne as his daughter the wisdom goddess interrogated the Sea God.
"It wasn't a demigod," he spoke out of nowhere.
Artemis finally spoke up. "Is it possible that they were a legacy who woke a slumbering power?"
Zeus, however didn't answer as he again looked at his brother. "Remember that presence we felt from Earth a while back that seemingly vanished out of nowhere?"
Poseidon nodded. "I felt it again a few days ago, but nothing of it since, since nothing really of significance had happened since then. Could they be related?"
"I do not know, brother. But I do know, this wasn't a demigod. This was a God, and not a minor one. A major one, it even felt like an Olympian's presence." He turned to his two daughters as the other three gods sat in silence at this revelation.
"As you know, we for the most part of withdrew from the mortal realm centuries ago. Only you two, along with some of your brothers, continue to walk amongst the mortals. I need you two to do me a favor."
The two goddesses sat straighter in their thrones, they would do almost anything for their Father.
"Find whoever used your Uncles domains, and bring him back to Olympus. Preferably alive, I have some questions for them."
The two daughters of Zeus nodded before both standing up, and flashing away to do their Father's bidding.
Zeus sighed and looked back at Poseidon. "Brother, I feel a detrimental change coming to Olympus. An even bigger one then when my daughter became the God of War and replaced Ares."
"Because of this presence we felt?"
The King of the Gods nodded. "I fear... I fear that it may be soon we have to return to the mortal world."
Watchtower
Green Arrow was now in the Watchtower, where him, Batman and Percy were going over the plan to take the two separated parts to separate Star Labs in Boston and New York.
"Are you sure the team can handle it? What if it got put back together? I'm not sure they would be able to stop the thing," Green Arrow stated, expressing his opinions to the Dark Knight.
Without even looking over, he responded. "Arrow, that team is going to be the face of the League one day. They need experiences like this to be able handle threats of any nature. They won't fail."
Percy was just standing there, watching the two bicker. He managed to escape from Diana after he showered and went to the bank, and honestly he was just relieved. She was starting to stress him out.
Green Arrow's shoulders slumped and he sighed. "I'm going to go make a phone call, I'll be right back."
Percy watched him go as Batman continued to work. "He okay?" He asked. "Just concerned. Everything will be alright though. I've got to brief the team in 10 if you don't mind."
"Oh, uh, sure. Yeah, I'll just go now." Feeling awkward, he hurried out of there and noticed Green Arrow off to the side staring out the window. He shrugged, went to the Zeta Tube and went home.
As soon as Green Arrow was sure he wasn't coming back, he made the call.
"Hey Artemis, I need you to do me a favor."
Mt. Justice
Black Canary had just arrived at the cave. As she looked around, she saw Raven and Miss Martian in the kitchen, and the rest of the team were sparing against Superboy.
"Ahem." Everyone's heads snapped towards her and she walked up to the training area, standing in front of the team. The two girls made their way from the kitchen into the the line that had formed up in front of Canary.
"So, got a new mission for us?" Wally excitedly asked. Robin rolled his eyes while Kaldur just responded for Dinah.
"Wally, Black Canary only comes here to train us. She isn't authorized to give us missions."
Dinah raised an eyebrow as Wally sighed, "Yeah, yeah, I know. Still got to try though."
"It's okay Wally, Batman will give us a mission soon." Megan spoke up. "The speedster quickly changed his attitude. "Well of course babe, but I'm not complaining. C'mon, let's train sugar, be my sparring buddy." He sent a wink towards the martian and she just smiled and proceeded to ignore him. Raven, who was watching from the side, felt proud.
"Alright, alright. Let's get to it. Lately I've been teaching you how to fight opponents in hand-to-hand combat. Well, today I'm going to be teaching you how to go at Metas. I'll be using my Canary Cry when we spar, any questions?"
Seeing as there were none, she continued. "I'm going to need a volunteer."
Kaldur was about to take a step forward, but Wally beat him to it. "Dibs!"
"Wally, perhaps it is best that I go first?"
"Nah man, I want this. Perfect match up."
Dinah was thinking about how wrong he was, and how he most likely had no reasons except for the fact that she was attractive when he surprised her.
"I can move at the speed of sound, she uses sound waves in her Cry. It'll be good practice at dodging large fast range attacks and get me to 'broaden' my horizons more."
To say the entire team was stunned would be an understatement. "Wally," Robin began, "that might've been the smartest thing you ever said."
Dinah nodded, "I'm impressed Kid Flash. But that's the type of thinking you need to have in order to better yourself."
Wally blushed at this, "Guys, guys, you're embarrassing me."
"Alright, enough talk. You ready?" Wally nodded and got in a fighting stance. "Good." And with that, she lunged at Wally, who was dodging her punches and kicks to the best of his ability.
Canary went to kick Wally in the chest and he caught it, planning to throw her off balance. In a seamless transition she twisted her body sideways in the air, looked at him and screamed. "Ah!" He stumbled back, hands on his ears.
Dinah stopped and stood up. "You always have to be on your toes, especially when up against an unknown."
Wally calmed down and nodded, and everyone on the sideline finally unplugged their ears. "Welp, should've seen that coming," Robin joked. Raven promptly smacked him on the head and rolled her eyes. "Hey!"
Superboy was unusually quiet today, and Raven had started to notice. She sent him a questioning glance, and he had a look that said he would tell her later. She nodded and went back to listening to what Dinah was telling them.
"-On your terms. Any questions?"
Silence.
"Good. Next?"
"Batman to cave." A holographic screen popped up showing Batman. Immediately everyone ran up to the screen. "A few hours ago, Green Arrow, Black Canary and Flash encountered an Android outside of Star City. The robot had the capability to copy powers, and they called in reinforcements from the League, which almost proved disastrous."
A screen popped up next to Batman, showing an Android in the middle of a hurricane, swatting Superman out of the sky, then proceeding to put in work against Captain Atom and Martian Manhunter. A trident came in out of nowhere and before it made contact, the video feed was cut.
Robin whistled. "One guy with the powers of the half the League? That's intense." Wally nodded, agreeing with his friend.
"The Android was finally dismantled and is being sent to Star Labs for further research. There will be 6 decoy trucks, and two with the parts in it. The League will guard the decoy trucks. Your mission, is to guard the two convoys incognito. It will be less suspicious this way." With that, the feed cut out and the coordinates for where to meet up were sent to the cave.
"Alright team, we have a mission, let's go."
~
The team were on motorcycles when the convoys departed. The team was divided into two squads: Squad A consisted of Aqualad, Miss Martian, and Kid Flash while Squad B had Robin, Superboy and Raven.
The two convoys pulled out and the two squads started following. "Aqualad to team, everyone's comms online?"
"Robin, online."
"Superboy, online."
"KF, online."
"Miss Martian, online."
"Raven, online."
"Good. Squad B will notify me if anything happens to your cargo, we will do the same. Good luck, Aqualad out."
The comms were silent for a few minutes, and Robin had a very important question for Superboy. He pulled his bike up to his.
"If dislike is the opposite of like, is disaster the opposite of aster? See instead of things going wrong, they go right."
Superboy however, seemed distracted, and pulled ahead further, ignoring Robin and his Aster antics.
"Clearly, you're not feeling the aster. What's wrong?" He asked as he again pulled alongside him.
"I saw Superman today. I was trying to help people on a bridge but he just kept criticizing every little thing I did, then just left me there to clean up the mess and left! It's like he doesn't even want to look at me, much less get to know me..." Superboy trailed off at this.
Robin thought for a moment before responding. "Maybe, maybe he looks at it like an old ex showing up one day and just saying 'Hey! Here's your kid from 16 years ago! Your turn to take care of him.' And then there was the Android today."
The clone turned and glared at the Boy Wonder.
"Okay okay, probably bad example."
"Ya think?"
"Hey if you two are done having an intervention, want to pay attention? I don't think that's normal." Raven pulled up to the two and pointed at the truck, where green robotic monkeys in jet packs were starting to swarm it.
"Robin, Raven, Superboy! Our truck is under attack!" Kaldur's voice rang out over the comms.
"Yeah, kinda figured!" Robin retorted as Superboy started to emit a low growl. "I hate monkeys." With that, he leaped from his bike onto the truck, going full beserk on the monkeys.
"Woah!" Robin swerved to avoid Superboy's bike and put his bike in autopilot and battle mode before grappling to the truck to help his friend. Raven shook her head, flying up to meet the two boys, causing her bike to also crash.
"You guys should've put the bikes in battle mode! Not let them crash!" Robin yelled at the other two as they started attacking and destroying the robotic monkeys.
"I. HATE. MONKEYS!" Superboy's screamed as he grabbed a monkey and looked it in the face. Said monkey did not seem to like that, as it shot lasers into the clones eyes, effectively blinding him.
"AH!" He threw the monkey in Raven's direction who was trying to stop some of them from drilling into the crate. It made contact with her and sent her flying. "Hey! Watch it!" Robin yelled at him, but Superboy didn't listen, he was attacking anything that moved in a blind rage.
"He's going to get us killed!" He remarked as Raven flew beside him and started controlling shadows to grab as many monkeys as she could. "I can feel anger rolling off him in waves right now. That can't be good for the mission."
Robin pulled out his staff and spun it around before knocking three monkeys out of flight. "We have to calm him down!"
They heard the sound of tires popping and Robin immediately knew what was happening. He hopped over to the driver side door and opened it, "GET OUT!" Grabbing the driver, he leaped off as the truck started to flip. Raven flew off while Superboy was tossed aside.
The back of the truck exploded, and monkeys flew out with the crate containing the androids parts.
"AAHHH!" Superboy rubbed his eyes and saw the monkeys flying away before screaming and leaping after them.
"Superboy!" Robin called out but it was already too late. Raven flew over to Robin and landed. "Now what?" She asked. Robin looked at the monkeys and came up with an idea.
"The monkeys had to of tracked the parts somehow." He pulled a cord from his wrist gauntlet and plugged it to the back of a destroyed monkey. A holographic screen popped up on his wrist and he started typing.
"If I can only find, There! The parts had GPS, and now we can track them. Huh, wonder how Batman missed that." He finished before standing up and contacting Kaldur.
"Aqualad, we lost the cargo."
"We did to, Robin. We'll rendezvous and form a plan."
"I'm tracking the parts right now, Superboy is in a blind rage right now, he already went after the parts."
"Understood."
"Aqualad to Superboy, radio your position, we'll help you."
"I don't need help!" He screamed.
"Superboy!" Kaldur tried again, only to get nothing.
Robin turned to Raven. "I think he ditched his
communicator. Come on, let's meet up with the others."
She nodded and the went to meet up with their team.
~
Robin and Raven were back on their bikes, tracking the parts.
In a flash of yellow, a certain speedster caught up to them and slowed to match their pace.
"Yo KF! I see you changed."
"Are you kidding me? I feel naked in civvies!" He shuddered. "Anyways, you guys still tracking the parts?"
Raven nodded. "Yeah, they were going through Gotham, but then they veered."
"Yeah, it's really weird. Almost like DUDE WAIT! They're at my school!"
He sped up and the other two sent each other a questioning glance before speeding up to match his speed. Within no time, they arrived at Gotham Academy.
They heard a crash from inside and quickly ran into the gym, just in time to see the Android throw Superboy like a rag doll across the room.
"I don't normally attend these things. But this? This was to good an opportunity to miss." A small old man dressed like a professor was sitting on the bleachers, a couple robotic monkeys at his side.
The Android walked up to Superboy and was about to blast him when Kid Flash ran and grabbed him, pulling him out of the way at the last second.
"Oh? The Scarlet Speedsters brat is here too!"
"Access: Flash."
"Uh oh." KF tried to run away, but the powers of his mentor greatly dwarfed his. The Android grabbed him and picked him up, spinning his torso and throwing him across the room as well.
"Hey!" Robin called out. He looked at Raven, "Find an opening, I'll distract him!" He turned to the robot and threw explosive batarangs at him, but the Android used Martian Manhunter's powers to phase right through him.
"Access: Green Lantern."
"Oh, this isn't good!" The Android lifted his arm and a missile was created out of nowhere and launched at him. He dove out of the way while the bleachers he was by exploded.
"Raven! Any day now!" He called out, rolling over into his back and clutching his side.
"Take this!" Superboy leaped at the Android and started unloading haymakers left and right, but the Android wasn't having any of it.
"Oh Amazo! Let's see some new powers you managed to get." Ivo called out from the bleachers.
"What's this guys deal!" Superboy called out.
The now dubbed Amazo was looking at KF. He raised a hand and the winds started to pick up. Soon, Amazo had his own personal little hurricane surrounding him.
"Woah! Who can do that!" Robin wondered, but Raven, who was watching in the distance, knew exactly who's power that was. She raised her hands as Amazo grabbed KF and started to squeeze. An arrow coming flying out of nowhere and sliced through the mini hurricane, forcing Amazo to phase through the attack.
Raven willed the darkness to wrap around Amazo, struggling to keep him contained as he tried using Superman's strength.
Superboy then came up with an idea. Ivo then yawned. "That was the only cool power that I'm going to have Amazo learn. The rest of you guys? You're just poor copies of the original."
"That's what everyone keeps saying," Superboy growled, before leaping at Ivo. "And it makes me angry! You want to see me angry?" He yelled as he crashed down on the spot where Ivo was a second before.
The old man started crawling away, "Amazo, protect your master!"
"Dude, I think SB has gone off the rails this time," KF muttered to Robin as Amazo blasted the clone. Robin just smiled, "I don't think so." He ran and kicked the monkeys who were carrying Ivo away.
"Down for a game of keep away?" Ivo landed on the ground as Amazo turned protect his master. Raven, catching on, grabbed Ivo and dragged him by the shadows. "I think yes, this way!"
"No over here!" KF ran and scooped up the doctor as Amazo phased through Robins Batarangs.
As he was turning solid, Superboy landed in front of Amazo and punched his head, just as he accessed Superman, causing Amazo's head to blow up. Superboy smirked as his body fell down.
"Quick! Help me disassemble him!" Robin yelled as he ran up to Amazo's body.
"Dude, the guy has no head." Wally deadpanned.
Raven flew down beside Robin as Kaldur and Miss Martian rushed into the gym.
"Don't take any chances!"
"Superboy! Are you okay?" Megan flew down beside the exhausted clone, but he just smiled and looked at Robin. "Yeah, definitely feeling the aster." Robin smiled as he turned to Miss Martian to give her hug.
"You know, I'm just waiting for those two to date already," Raven muttered from beside Robin. Robin laughed and elbowed her lightly, "Since when do you ship people?" He quietly joked, causing her to blush.
"Hey guys? Where's Ivo?" Wally pointed out. The team looked around the gym and noticed he was nowhere to be seen.
~
The team was back in the cave giving their mission report to Batman, Green Arrow, and Black Canary.
When they finished Batman nodded. "You guys did a good job. Don't be afraid to ask for League help next time tings get out of hand."
"Oh yeah? It's not like you guys were following us the whole time!" Wally countered, showing the green arrow to Green Arrow. Oliver frowned, pulling out one of his own arrows from his quiver.
"That's not my arrow. No one in the League was tailing you guys."
"Wait, really?" Robin asked. Green Arrow handed him the arrow to inspect and Robin grabbed the arrow out of Wallys hands. "Huh, these are different."
"Think it was Roy?" Wally asked. Kaldur spoke up, "Perhaps our old friend still has our backs after all."
"I knew Roy wouldn't just abandon us." Robin finished.
"Well hey! Dibs!" Wally grabbed his arrow back and grinned. "Souvenir!" And with that, he sped off to his trophy room.
