20. The Tuxedo

- Back at Gotham-

The afternoon glow filtered thorough the stained glass of Wayne manor.

"How was the meeting, Master Dick?" Alfred Pennyworth, the venerable butler, inquired.

"Not as well as I expected it to go but he did agree to collaborate with us," Robin, Dick Grayson, recounted as he ran his fingers through his raven black hair.

Their footsteps echoed through the stately mansion as they made their way to the Batcave. Alfred followed Robin, a step behind as he asked about the meeting. He had been briefed by Bruce about the importance of this meeting, and he was here to check how well it went, as this was one of the meeting Dick attended as both Robin and Bruce's adopted son. The fact that the other person knew of his identity added to his worry.

"That's a promising news, Master Dick" Alfred remarked. "Did you get a sense of their motivation and any potential concern?"

Robin expression grew more pensive as he responded, "There are concerns about his commitment, him going back on his words, but he was adamant on not letting his tech fall in the wrong hands. He was open to a partnership on mutual benefit, if trust is not opted."

The venerable butler furrowed his brow, his concern evident. "I see, it is crucial to address the concerns and ensure they understand," Alfred advised. "Did you set up the following meeting to discuss the details?"

Robin nodded. "He agreed to meeting in the Batcave and he will be working here until he finish building the Atomic engine. Him working here might give us a chance to analyze him and he will be under our observation."

"It is good, then," Alfred said as the metal door before them slit open. "Master Bruce, has been waiting for your return."

- Zion's fortress -

"This looks neat!!"

Zion now wearing his new suit checked himself on the mirror. The intricate golden patterns, the slick and smooth design, and the high quality materials all brought the best of the art. The suit was "'The Tuxedo'". The black fabric laced with intricate golden patterns that spoke of craftsmanship beyond the ordinary.

"A suit does bring the man out of the boy." Zion remarked.

The suit was no ordinary attire, the pitch black tuxedo was a high tech battle suit mixed with elegance, concealing an arsenal of cutting-edge technology. The suit fitted perfectly with his body giving him a sharp look. The suit wasn't only for the good looks, as it was a battle armor on the inside and out.

The suit embodied both style and substance.

The suit enhanced his strength, speed, and durability to a superhuman level. The Nano-fibers inlaid in the suit acted as auxiliary muscles, increasing his strength, it also assisted his marksmanship and other accuracy related tasks. The suit was also fully bulletproof, added with kinetic absorption to reduce impact and store charge.

It could also had a invisibility cloak, allowing him to turn invisible when needed. The suit also pack an advanced stealth mode for covert operations. The suit was inputted with multiple martial art skill, making the wearer a skilled fighter.

Then their was an arsenal of gadgets and built-in weapons, such as grapples, lasers, and energy shield for offense and defense. There was also some other advance techs that will act like plot armour but who cares?

Now for the babies. The Kinetic Gloves and anti-gravity shoes. The glove was pitch black with golden patterns near the wrist connecting seamlessly with the suits embroidery. The best part is that the golden patterns would appear as kinetic energy gets absorbed by the suit. The anti-gravity shoes, they look formal, but they were anything but formal, as it had some advanced tech stuffed into it. Think about prowler's shoes, but smooth and slick instead of edgy.

Then the final touch of the white shirt, it was more than a shirt as it worked like a neural link connection all the suits functions like a central nerve. All Zion had to do was thing for the suit to do, not the intrusive thought but intended ones. The wearer would become the living extension of the suit.

Zion combed back his messy hair back to suit the Tuxedo, but they wouldn't stay and became more messy with each attempt. Zion tried to tame his hair a few more time, however his hair only ended up more messy. Zion stopped his fight and looked at his clones.

"You guys want to continue working or...?" Zion inquired, attracting the attention of his colleges.

Upgrade broke the silence, "The guns are finished and I am thinking of building the all spark!" Upgrade replied with determination as he continued working on producing another pair of suits for other needs.

But Grey Matter, the voice of reason, interjected, "But we don't have materials for it."

"We can just order some," Upgrade offered a simple solution.

Grey Matter, however took their ambition to another level with a proposition. "Since Earth doesn't have enough material, why don't we build a Quantum Matter extractor (QME) or Interdimensional Matter Extractor (IME)? It will solve our problem of lack of materials," Grey matter suggested.

QME, or Quantum Mineral Extractor, utilize quantum superposition to extract minerals from other dimension. By exploiting the principals of quantum superposition, allowing it to exist in multiple dimensions simultaneously, collect minerals, and return with them to our dimension.

IME, or Interdimensional Mineral Extractor, utilize many advance physics concept, such as string theory and Quantum mechanics, to tap into the multiverse and extract minerals from alternate dimension or universe.

They both work on different concepts but they work to bring minerals from other dimensions. Both devises would produce a high amount of minerals, enough to turn moon into a city with only few days of operation.

Zion raised an eyebrow, his practicality shining through, "But both devices require an immense amount of energy to operate. We would need to build a Singularity Energy Generator to support them."

Singularity Energy Generator, or SEG, is a device that harness power of an artificial singularity for clean and virtually limitless energy production. But if not made correctly it would produce a massive gravitational field enough to form a real singularity, a Black Hole.

"Do you want to risk destabilizing the entire solar system?" Zion added, his skepticism weighting on the audacious plan.

"And we can't built it with Earth's current technological level," Upgrade pointed the flaw.

Grey Matte, thinking several step ahead, responded. "But we can reduce the scale of QME and IME so the Atomic engine could support them."

Zion, realizing the enormity of the task at hand, voice his concers, "That could be a solution, but the output might not meet our production needs. And building both the QME and IME require nearly the same level of advance technology as constructing the SEG."

"It all boils down to our technology not reaching the required level." Upgrades frustration was palpable.

Grey Matter's solution-oriented mind reappeared, "That's true, but if we could create a Mechanical City, we'd have the means to develop the necessary technology."

Mechanical City, it is a city sized production line consisting on many different part of it dedicated for different purposes. One of the main components would be the research center that will continue research on automation to come up with many new theory and technology(but Ideas need to be inputed). The other component would be the massive production line that will be able to produce any kind of tech as it will be upgraded with the advancement of technology produced by the research center.

Zion's response was grounded in reality, "Unfortunately, we can't build that on Earth."

"If only we could terraform a moon similar to Galvan B," Upgrade sighed, dejectedly.

While upgrade was lamenting, he noticed the sudden silence in the air. He turned his gaze at Gray Matter and Zion, noticing the wide grin on their faces. He felt something irk him as he noticed the insanity raising in their eyes.

"We could terraform Mars," Grey Matter suggested.

Zion's playful banter came forth, "Martians."

Grey Matter responded with humor, "Heat Blast."

Zion's rebuttal was more contemplative, "Genocide."

Grey Matter remained steadfast, "Habitable."

"How?" Zion asked.

To Zion's question, Grey Matter pointed at Upgrade.

"It could work," Zion nodded, the seed of the audacious plan taking root.

Upgrade, still processing this new path they were embarking on, voice his objection on using him, "Hey!"

But Zion and Grey Matter didn't care of his objection on using him as they started a new project to terraform a whole planet or at least apart of it. This audacious project of their would be the foundation for something bigger.

"Why not Terraform Earth's moon?" Upgrade question, as they now plan on terraforming.

Grey Matter, however, was quick to quash the idea, dismissing it with a simple, "Not worth the effort."

"But Mars is?" Upgrade inquired.

"A planet to own and...Burning Martian," Zion's answered.

"Fair enough," Upgrade Conceded.

With that Upgrade focused on creating the gadgets need for Zion's hero career.

Zion wasn't planning on using the Omnitrix as a hero. It is better to keep it a secret for now and it will divide his identity, not that he had one.

Zion transformed into Grey Matter, followed by both Grey Matters engaging in a heated debate on how to terraform Mars, or at least a part of it into a Mechanical City. They were also contemplating how to deal with the small amount of Martians of Mars. The near extinct species would become a headache if they wanted trouble with them.

They were also planning on getting the Burning Martian DNA by combining the DNA of both Green, white, and other color of martians if they were present. Omnitrix could rebuild the Burning martian DNA by reverse engineering. It was one of its new function, the ability to rebuild Bio-Matrix or reverse-simulate to produce an extinct specie's Bio-Matrix.

- Batcave-

As robin and Alfred entered the Batcave, the metal door slid shut behind them, sealing them in the world of the dark knight. The towering figure of Batman, without his iconic cape and cowl, stood near the Batcomputer, monitoring the ongoing surveillance of Gothan City.

"Robin, Alfred," Batman's gravelly voice welcomed them, his stern expression giving away nothing. "How did the meeting go?"

Robin took a deep breath, a mixture of apprehension and determination in his eyes, "Its had its challenges, but he agreed to collaborate with us, Bruce."

Batman's gaze intensified, the weight of responsibility etched onto his every movement, "Promising, but concerns must be addressed."

Robin continued, "He's steadfast about keeping his technology out of the wrong hands. We've scheduled a follow-up meeting in the Batcave, and he'll be working here while he constructs the Atomic Engine. This proximity will allow us to closely monitor him."

Batman nodded, a rare hint of approval in his eyes. "That's a strategic move, Dick. We need to ensure that the technology remains under our control. He won't make a move without our knowledge."

Alfred's gaze shifted between the two, concern etched into his features. "Master Bruce, we should also be cautious about the other individual's knowledge of you identities. That knowledge is a double-edged sword."

Batman acknowledged the gravity of the situation, his voice a rumbled of contemplation. "We will need to take every precaution, Alfred. But for now, we proceed with the plan. Dick, I want you to ensured that every possible security is in place for the upcoming meeting in the Batcave."

Robins expression was resolute. "Yes, Batman. I was already planning on enhancing the security protocol, and activate perimeter alarms. I also plan on setting up a monitoring system for the Batcave to ensure that nothing goes unnoticed."

Batman nodded his approval, "Good, we will proceed with the next step of the plan.".

*****

Hellow,

I need help.

Can someone give me the history of Mars and Martian's?

Like, in some version they are extinct, in some there are only some survivors.

Like what the heck! Chose a one version to integrate. How can they be extinct and not at the same time?!!

I am confused, so, help!!!

Preferably, the Young Justice, version or anything of reference.
