11- Twister

Author Note: There have been some people asking about certian things that have been happening around Jackson and inside of Cadmus.

A gental reminder that Batman searched the facility just after the team's escape. His findings and thoughts around them eill be covered after the Santa Prisca mini-arc.

Thank you for your patience and if you've noticed something else besides whatever he finds inside of Cadmus and Jackson's mentality, tell me because I'm not perfect.

Anyway, Enjoy!

"Red Tornado to Young Justice, there seem to be reports of a strange man destroying a building with tornados. In Batman's words: Deal with it." The android reported, before ending the call.

Immediately upon hearing this, Wally lurches forward in his seat. "Woohoo! We have a mission!" A mischievous smile spread across his lips. "Let's go fuck him up."

Ignoring the ginger, Kaulder sat forward and spoke to Dick. "Where are we going?"

The Boy Wonder typed on his phone for a moment before giving out the details. "Happy Harbour, a man in a metal suit attacking a power plant that recently got an upgrade. Here's a camera feed from nearby."

Popping up on a screen was the image of a man in a completely red and black suit. His head looked similar to what could be called the Ironman design and he had tubes carrying an unknown liquid to and from his back.

With a wave of his hand, wind coalesced to his side and formed a 15-foot-tall twister that was then sent flying into the building.

"He's doing this out in the open. He must be expecting League company." Jackson said, pulling out a medical mask he swiped from the base and putting it on. "Why don't we give him some?"

Everyone looked at him, confused, before Kaulder spoke up. "What do you mean? We're not the League so how would we do that?"

Jackson smiled, leaning forward onto his knees. "So this is how we do it..."

[Ten minutes later]

Sneaking along the rafters at the top of the power plant, Jackson thought about what just happened.

'Why did I jump into making a plan? I mean, it's pretty solid but I'm not usually one to think through things too much.'

It was true. In nearly every incident and stressful situation Jackson had acted on instinct and did whatever felt necessary. Like buying the Kryptonite that was still sitting in his inventory. While thinking of this, he noticed something.

'Is it just me, or is everything moving a bit slower than normal?' In his point of view. It was as if the world had suddenly gone into slow-mo mode.

'No, it's not the world that's moving slowly, it's my mind perceiving things at a faster rate!' Jackson could practically feel the gears in his mind moving much faster than ever before and now that he thought about it, it had started back on the ride here.

'Is my body finally adapting to the sun now? The system did say my energy reserves were practically infinite now...'

He wanted to ask the system just to be sure, but it seemed that he had run out of time.

A figure, clad in red metal floated into the warehouse, making Mr. Twister stop what he was doing.

"Mr. Twister, it's time that you stop your actions." Red Tornado monotoned, continuously floating forward.

"It took you long enough Red, I was starting to think you'd never show," Twister said, waving his right hand behind him.

This gesture prompted the winds around him to coalesce into a deadly twister, which was sent hurdling towards Red Tornado.

Making a similar motion, the android sent a tornado of his own, which collided with the first and canceled out.

The two of them continued sending twisters to and fro, neither making any progress in their fight.

"It appears that we are even, Twister!" The red android called out. "Stop this nonsense already!"

"Hahaha. Even? We're anything BUT even!" The tubes attached to Mr. Twister's back began to light up, sending a massive amount of electricity pumping through and out of his arms.

Sending this energy forward, it collided with Red Tornado, who had nothing to counter with causing him to freeze up and fall to the ground.

Still laughing, Mr. Twister sauntered up to the fallen android and extended a hand, little wires snaking up to Red Tornado's head. "Don't worry, the reprogramming won't take long. Afterwards, you'll be plenty useful serving the Light."

It was at this moment that something heavy crashed into Mr. Twister's back, sending him lurching forward before he heard the sound of creaking metal.

Turning to look back, he could see that a teen boy wearing a medical mask had begun teating into the electrical tubes that powered his electricity.

"You- Stop that!" The villian attempted to create a twister around his body, but was stopped when another boy grabbed his arm.

Connor this time, holding his arm inplace to stop him. And before he could even attempt with his other, a boy he recognised to be Atlantean restrained his other.

"You goddamn fucking kids! Get off of me!" Mr. Twister again tried to fight back, but found that he couldn't even move his legs.

"Lowerbody power's out. You done up top?" A younger looking boy with an eye mask appeared from the side, typing away at a wrist monitor.

One more sound of tearing metal and gushing liquid was heard before the masked boy, Jackson, jumped down before taking Kaulder's spot on an arm. "Yup. No more Zappy-Zappy." He nodded.

"Thank the gods. That hurt ya know?" The downed figure of Red Tornado stood, morphing into the image of a young martian girl with bright red hair, Megan.

Realizing what just happened to him, Teister began to laugh. "Hahaha. I can't believe I just got taken down by a bunch of children. Under a minute at that."

Ignoring the mediocre villain, Jackskn turned to Robin. "Get into his systems yet."

Dick merely held up a single finger before continuing his typing. Clearly this was a much more encrypted channel than he had thought.

"So... where's your real body?" Wally appeared in Twister's face, shocking him with his question. But he managed to keep a straight face nonetheless.

"What do you mean, real body?"

Wally rolled his eyes. "Oh come on. We figured out you were controlling this android long before we started attacking."

Now he was truly stunned. 'B-but how?! Twister raked his mind to find a reason for this, coming away with only one.

Turning his head to Megan, he started laughing. "Of course it was you. Tried to control me didn't you?"

Megan, who actually didn't do this, looked both nervous and insulted by the notion that she would try and control someone with her abilities.

Luckily, Dick came to her rescue, taking the villain's attention away from her. "I'm in. That took way longer than I thought it would." He said, sighing in releive that his reputation as a hacker hadn't been damaged.

"I can shut him down, but the signal's bouncing around too much for my wristwatch to trace."

"You do that, and I'll call Bats." Jackson said, walking over into a corner.

'I think I might have a few ideas for my Sanctum. But that'll have to wait untill after the debrief.' He thought, pulling out his phone. 'I do wonder what Bruce thinks about me though...'
