hauling the load and thieving monkeys

Then we cancelled the plan to transport it safely in bags and the old way, by road," Robin said, analyzing the map.

"Well, let's get ready. Pay attention to your surroundings; this thing is a valuable resource for any enemy in the league," I said, worried about possible attempts to recover it.

"Come on, what could happen? I doubt they'll steal it and assemble it because everyone sees me like that," Wally said, with everyone looking at him.

"You had to say it," Robin said, hitting his face.

"Well, since Kid Flash just said the only thing he didn't have to say, some plan to stop that thing if it gets up for whatever reason," I said with some concern.

"According to the PDA, it has the powers of Black Canary's sonic scream, Captain Atom's abilities, Flash's speed, Martian Manhunter's density shift, Red Tornado's wind manipulation, and all of Superman's abilities," Megan said seriously while reading the list.

"We're screwed if that gets up," Wally said, fearful of the android.

I got on the motorcycle, thinking for a while, and snapped my fingers. "If that thing can copy the powers, what about the weaknesses of each hero?" I said quickly.

"That could be feasible," Robin said, doubting.

"If it's because of his weaknesses, then Ethan knows them all," Conner said, pointing to Clark.

"Well, I know Superman's weaknesses, but of all, we can only use 2: Magic and Kryptonite. I can only produce the rose," I said, showing a pink rock that appeared in my hand.

"Wait, there are other types of Kryptonite besides the green one, and what does the pink one do?" Robin said, surprised.

"Several. According to my grandfather, there are about 10 types. Well, the rose is more of a Kryptonite for jokes, which does the following: if it affects a man, he becomes a woman for a couple of hours. In ancient Kryptonian women, it worked as an aphrodisiac for the wedding night. That's why I said it's more of a Joke Kryptonite," I said, remembering why I had it.

Robin started laughing. "Old Batman would love to have a piece of that thing," he said.

"I don't want to see a piece of that pink rock near me because I'm seriously going to chase you for the rest of my life," Conner said, looking at me angrily.

"Meh, it wouldn't work on you. It would just make you more romantic and sensitive, to the extent that you could watch any romantic movie and cry. But you wouldn't experience gender swapping and stuff," I said with a laugh, and Conner sighed happily, glad he didn't have to go through that.

At the same time, Superman listened to us and seemed a bit shocked by the information about that Kryptonite. Batman showed a smile since he was listening to us through the communicators, something I noticed.

"Jokes aside, that thing copies everyone's powers. But what about yours, Ethan?" Kaldur said seriously.

"I shouldn't, or rather I couldn't. It would only detect me as a human. If you analyze my blood, you'll see that you only find my human gene. As for my uncles, it's another story. Every machine would give an error," I said, remembering some things my grandfather told me.

The League signaled for the trucks to be ready. The 6 of us started the motorcycles and left.

"Team, ready, and good luck everyone," I said over the communicator, going with Robin and Conner.

Conner showed his anger with Superman on the way. Without any other choice, I talked to him.

"Conner, I know it bothers you and fills you with anger, but believe me, it's not the way. I'm the one who can best understand you. If he doesn't want to teach you, we're all here. The team is more than just teammates; now we're family," I told him, with Robin nodding.

"Ethan is right. You can trust us. I know we're not the most normal family, but we'll always be there for everyone," Robin said.

"Thanks, guys, but it's something I have to deal with," Conner said. Robot monkeys with rocket packs started coming out of the cornfields.

"I hate Wally's mouth. Archangel to the escort team, we have contact. Robot monkeys attacking the truck," I said, touching the communicator.

"Aqualad, Archangel. We see them attacking our package," Aqualad said while they faced the monkeys.

"Next time Wally goes to plant a Red flag, someone silence him," I said, pulling out my weapons and putting the bike into combat mode.

"I hate monkeys," Conner yelled, jumping off the motorcycle and hitting the attackers on the truck. Robin had activated the combat drone and was destroying the ones at the door.

Several of the monkeys fired green lasers at Conner's eyes.

"Damn vermin," I screamed, hitting everything I felt.

"Guys, we have problems," Robin said, looking ahead as several monkeys had overtaken the truck and thrown the driver. The truck lost control. Several monkeys attacked Conner, making him fall from the truck while two of the robot monkeys shot lasers at their eyes and me at the same time. I shot them as fast as possible to make them scrap.

Two monkeys flew to the sides and cut the wheels with the lasers. "Boys, I don't have control of the truck. Watch out!" Robin yelled.

"Save the driver!" I yelled, with Robin rescuing the driver and jumping to the side of the road.

The monkeys kept us in line. The one who sent them had taken this seriously. Conner, Robin, and I destroyed the vast majority, but two managed to get into the truck and steal the box. I started shooting at them, but when I was going to knock them down, more of those annoying monkeys appeared, using themselves as a shield.

Conner yelled in fury and started swearing. "Damn, damn, you sons of bitches, I hate these monkeys!" Conner yelled at the top of his lungs.

"Archangel to Aqualad, status report," I said into the comm.

"I report we lost the cargo. We were outnumbered," Aqualad said.

"Copied. We did too. It was an organized attack. They knew what the cargo was, which truck, and how many of us would be escorting it," I said.

"Not only that, they knew which truck to attack," Robin said.

"That doesn't matter. I'm going after them!" Conner yelled, jumping up.

"Conner, stop. Don't let anger make you make stupid decisions," I said over the comm, but I heard static.

"Damn it, Superboy left the communication. We're changing the mission. Retrieve the items and transport them," I said, with Robin taking one of the robot monkeys and connecting it to her laptop.

"They're heading to Gotham. It's close to our position," Robin said, looking at the map.

"But far from ours. We won't be able to arrive on time," Kaldur replied.

"You can't do an Angel thing and not transport us to Gotham,"

Wally said seriously.

"I think so, but I never tried it with humans by myself. There's no problem, but never with more people. Besides, on Earth, I have limited powers. When I do it, I have to rest for a while," I said.

"It's worth trying to anticipate whoever stole it and attacked us," Robin said.

"Okay, but everyone might feel dizzy and vomit. It happens on the first trips. Stay still. I have to decompose us at the subatomic level. Robin, give us a safe location to deploy," I said, spreading my wings. Robin showed me the image of a fairly wide roof of a building. I quickly thought of Kaldur and the others' location and imagined us all in a Gotham location.

Meanwhile, both Kaldur, Megan, and Wally began to feel tingles on their skin. They saw how their entire bodies decomposed into particles of light.

"Man, this feels terrible," Wally said, covering his mouth and vomiting in a corner.

"Hold on. Archangel warned us about that," Kaldur said, feeling dizzy.

Megan seemed to have a worse time since I had to hide her White Martian form. After a second, they appeared on the roof of the building. I was pale and my wings were extended to the maximum.

"It's easier to go to hell than to move 5 people on Earth," I said panting and collapsing. I never tried this with people. Doing it alone was fine, but being accompanied was something else.

Megan floated over to where I was. "Ethan, are you okay?" Megan said worriedly.

"Yes, just tired. In half an hour, I'll be fine. Robin, location of the parts and time for me to get to the city. We need a plan. That droid is armed," I said in a gasp.

"An hour will give you enough time to recover," Robin said.

"Yes, I'll call Batman and report the situation," I said with some seriousness.

The whole team agreed, and I took the communicator and dialed Batman. When he answered, he was composed.

"Archangel, report the situation," Batman said.

"We were attacked. The droid had a tracker. They managed to steal the parts by overwhelming us with amounts of Monkey Droids. The robot can be operational and heading towards Gotham City. The team is already in the city," I said, looking at Batman seriously.
