9.Schooled(Part 2)

“We only break the rules to save people.”

-Barry Allen (The Flash)

-Mount Justice-

Opening a holoscreen Batman informs the team

Batman:Batman to the Cave

The Dark Knight calls, all rush to join Superboy and Canary. As they do, Batman continues

Batman:A new menace attack Green Arrow and Black Canary. The attacker was capable of studying, the duplicating the powers and abilities of its opponents

On a smaller screen the image of the attacker become a video feed, where Superman goes for a massive punch, only for it to get caught and the attacker to then use the Kryptonian to take out Red Tornado, and Flash, before throwing the alien. Then turning to use its newly acquired laser eyes to take out two Batarangs.

Batman:Arrow called in reinforcements, which nearly proved disastrous as our foe gained more and more power with each new combatant

'(I could probably beat it..maybe..)'

K.F:Whoa..

Kid Flash is the first one to vocalize, though Kaldur looks worried and Superboy clenches his jaw. As Kara moves a bit closer to Sean as he places his hand on her shoulder she gives a sympathetic smile as he smiles back at her

Robin:One guy with the powers of the entire League?

It seems unbelieveable, which even Robin reacts to. Looking just as worried at Kaldur, his mouth even dropping open slightly. While M’gann looks on nervously. Although Sean just kept staring at the robot..almost intrigued by it

Batman:In the end, it took eight Leaguers four hours to defeat and dismantle the android..

"I know what im about to say is going to sound really petty and egotistical but couldn't you guys just have called me?"

Batman turns his gaze to Sean and tells him

Batman:We don't know the full limits of your powers Sean

"I say with all due respect not really but that's some bullshit, and you know it"

Batman:Be that as it may we can't risk the public knowing a teenager who has the power to destroy worlds is fighting a robot

"Okay see that..actually makes sense"

Batman informs Sean, But they quickly change the subject which catches Robin’s attention.

Robin:An android? Who built it, T.O. Morrow?

Robin:Good guess, Robin

Batman states, causing Superboy to look down as he sees, even more, working father/son relationships within the League and Team.

Batman:But Red Tornado doesn’t think so

Martian Manhunter:The technology bears the signature of Professor Ivo

Aqualad:Ivo?’ But Ivo’s dead..

Black Canary:So we all thought or hoped

Batman:To make certain this threat is permanently neutralized

Another small screen pops up on the opposite side of the where the footage from the fight was.

Batman:We’re sending two trucks carrying the Android’s parts to two separate STAR Labs facilities

A point between the four noted cities- which are Springfield, Gotham, Boston and NYC- becomes a red triangle.

Batman:In Boston and New York

The two paths going in completely separate directions, but beginning at the triangle’s base which is now a glowing red dot.

Batman:For immediate evaluation. Every precaution is being taken.

Their attention comes back to Batman on the main screen.

Batman:We’ll have four additional trucks to create confusion in case Ivo or anyone tries to recover the remains. You will split into undercover teams to safeguard the two real trucks

K.F:Yes! Road trip.

Canary turns to Kid with an angered look while Aqualad and M’gann look to him rather confused. Robin joins and glares behind his mask. Kara and Sean shake their heads in disappointment towards K.F

Superboy:*angrily* So now we take out your trash?

Batman:You had something better to do?

Batman counters, Superboy looks away just Aqualad’s transmitter goes off

"Yesh and say im heartless.."

Kara:Who said that?

"I don't know I just said for fun so you ready to do this partner?"

He nudges her on the shoulder as a small blush spreads through her face she tucks a strand of hair behind her ear

Kara:Y-yeah im ready

"Awesome! Alrighty then let's get to it"

In a field off the main highway, six trucks are sitting ready, while the part of the dismantled Android is being loaded. Overseeing this is Red Tornado, Atom, Green Arrow, Flash, and Superman.

Turning away and using his enhanced vision he can see the Team waiting on their motorcycles, Aqualad and M’gann on blue, Kid Flash on yellow and Superboy and Robin on red, Sean didn't really want a motorcycle so Batman gave him a jetpack which he happily took, Superman  zeroes in on Superboy, who returns his gaze.

He turns away, Superboy looks down before sliding on his helmet as the engines from the truck rev. Their rev their cycles and come to the edge of the clearing and they put on their helmets.

Comms:

It's put over the comms as three trucks close their back-gates.
