Chapter 15 - 16. Android

(POV General)

After SuperBoy's lost to Black Canary in their sparring match. Canary offered to lift SuperBoy up only for He to blandly reject it tossing His hand aside.

After standing up a holographic screen of Batman appeared.

"Batman to Cave"

After receiving everyone's attention Batman continued His role.

"Five hours ago a new menace attacked Green Arrow and Black Canary."

After uttering the message on the left side of the screen appeared a shirtless man showing off its well toned body. This man had ginger hair. But what really took to His appearance was His sharp pointed like ears and red void-less eyes seeming to perceive nothing.

"The attacker was capable of studying then duplicating the powers and abilities of its opponents."

Again after Batman spoke the left side of the screen took over the right side as well as the left showcasing a video of the Man hurling Superman away like a rag doll.

"Arrow called in reinforcements which nearly proved disastrous. As our new foe gained more and more power with each new combatant."

During Batman's report the video continued showing the fighting between the man and the League easily defeating them with their own powers and abilities.

"Whoa. One guy with the powers of the entire League?"

Kid Flash was the only one to speak before Batman would continue with His report.

"In the end, it took eight Leaguers four hours to defeat and dismantle the Android."

As Batman laid down the final fact both Shift and Robin pondered the same question. Only for Robin to ask away.

"An Android? W-who made it T.O. Morrow?"

"Good guess Robin, but Red Tornado doesn't think so."

Soon after hearing this fact, Shift uttered a name.

"Ivo"

Martian Manhunter, Batman, and Black Canary noticed Shift'd utterance and Martian Manhunter placed his hand around His chin in the thinker position speaking.

"Yes. The technology bears the signature of Professor Ivo."

After both Martian Manhunter and Shift's judgements Aqua-Lad spoke out His opinion.

"Ivo? But Ivo's dead?"

Black Canary now looked to Aqua-Lad speaking with a sorrowful expression.

"So we all thought or hoped?"

Before the team could digest what happened Batman continued back on the task at hand.

"To make certain this threat is permanently neutralized we're sending two trucks carrying the Android's parts to two separate STAR labs facilities located in Boston and New York for immediate evaluation. Every precaution is being taken."

Before Batman could continue Shift voiced His complaint.

"Why not destroy a piece of the Android preventing its reconstruction?"

All the Leaguers present gave Shift a look while Batman simply showed a little annoyance.

"So that we may have a full understanding of the Android."

Batman said simply gaining a distrusted face from both Black Canary and Martian Manhunter.

Batman unshapened by the faces of both the Leaguers and the team continued the debriefing.

"In addition, we'll have four additional decoy trucks to create confusion in case Ivo or anyone tries to uncover the remains."

After giving His words effect over the Team Batman finally gave the Team their mission.

"You will split into undercover teams to safeguard the two real trucks."

After getting their goal Kid pumped His fist up getting everyone's attention.

"Yes! Road trip!"

SuperBoy intended to start a fight with Batman around taking out their trash only for Batman to counter with.

"And you have something better to do?"

Soon after that Shift received a text from Batman receiving the coordinates.

"Coordinates received"

—-

(POV Josh)

After receiving the Coordinates I split the team up with Caldur as a leader of team 2 and I 1 taking with Me SuperBoy and Robin.

While Caldur was going to work with Kid and Miss Martian.

Kid was happy with the idea of teaming up with MM which swiftly turned to excitement as we began our next mission.

But before that, I spoke with SuperBoy about Superman. Which SuperBoy listened but I could tell He was hurt inside leaving me to pat Him on the back.

I couldn't tell what happened next cause after Me black Canary walked over to SuperBoy telling Him something I couldn't make out and I decided it wasn't my place to listen.

SuperBoy didn't respond to Canary but proceeded to the mission with us. Calder was to take the trucks to Boston while we took ours to New York.

———-

(POV General)

In the backbone of Litchfield Country stood the many trucks surrounding a group of red boxes that housed the Android parts.

As the parts were being lifted by STAR employees into their respective trucks. Superman heard a noise taking His attention to a brush located between the forest that was now in front of Him.

By using His X-ray vision Superman could find five bikes all ready and waiting for the trucks to begin their descent.

Each bike shared a minor resemblance to each driver. Except for Kid who'd be running the entire time. Robins's bike had the colors Red, Black, and Yellow to match His suit.

Aqua-Lad had a simple ocean blue bike but the color was hard to tell due to the combination of both the Ocean blue and black colors that adorned His bike.

Shift was on a similar bike to SuperBoy's who simply had a black Motorcycle with a red helmet on. Shift on the other hand had a black helmet on.

Then finally Miss Martian had a purple bike on the front and back of the motorcycle while the sides were painted blue.

All the team members also wore a suit matching their respective bike colors except for Robin, Shift, and SuperBoy. Who simply wore their super suits.

SuperBoy noticed Superman's watchful gaze and stared back only for Superman to ignore Him walking away.

After watching Superman turn away SuperBoy started the motorcycle slowly beginning to start the mission.

Soon after the Bikes were ready the trucks began their move splitting up in different directions.

Both groups of trucks soon turned both left or right and right after their departure the team began to split up.

Aqua-Lad's group went left towards Boston. While Shift's team traveled to New York with the trucks going right.

As each group left only Superman was left about to leave the open field and was soon caught off guard by Batman who simply placed His hand over Superman's shoulder.

"I told you we need to talk."

On our way towards New York Robin drove towards Superboy while Shift hung in the back of the formation they had in place.

"If dislike is the opposite of like is disaster the opposite of aster? See instead of things going wrong they go right."

Robin attempted His own way of cheering SuperBoy up but was met with utter silence until Robin asked.

"Uh. Clearly, you're not feeling the aster? What's wrong?"

SuperBoy finally responds to Robin's question revealing some anger with a name.

"Canary. And what business does She have to teach combat skills to a guy with super strength?"

Before Robin could answer Shift joined in.

"She's only trying to help you get stronger that's how training works. You've fought me plenty of times to know that I've only used my powers in the field because of how dangerous they can be and how open they make my weaknesses are."

Superboy took a moment to process and instantly broke formation by moving the accelerate on the motorcycle taking Him closer to the trucks.

"Ah. I hope the teams doing better than us."

Robin utters this sentence with a bit of disbelief in His words due to someone's cocky tone.

…..

As the Aqua-Lads team approached the trucks Miss Martian asked a question opened to any who'd hear.

"Is SuperBoy alright? I swear I didn't read his mind. It's just anger seemed to come off Him in waves?"

Kid swiftly responded to Miss Martians question with a simple cocky tone.

"Heh. Surf that wave. Just give Him some space. Me? Stick as close as you want."

After Kid's foolish flirting Aqua-Lad stepped in to cheer MM up.

"SuperBoy just needs time to cool off. A quiet mission will clear things off."

As if all existence had some beef with Aqua-Lad. From the field of weeds to the side of them emerged an army of robotic Monkeys.
