17- Going Dark

A/N- Sorry for the late chap, also as a warning almost half of this is thought and description before we get into the mission. Set up if you will.

[Hours Later- Nightfall]

Silently moving through the night sky, an invisible ship carried 6 people in strange outfits.

A young woman, who was flying the ship, had green skin with an all-black skin-tight suit that had an X across the chest, also blacked out. M'gann, otherwise known as Miss Martian.

In order behind her were the other five, all seeingly around her age.

Starting on her left was a young man in a sleek black suit that reached up and around his head to cover the upper part of his face. Several grooves were running along his limbs- like powerlines. And finally, there was a circular symbol resting on his chest, with a diagonal lightning bolt resting within. Wally is better known as Kid Flash.

Next to him was a teen in a skin-tight suit that looked sort of similar to an acrobat's outfit. Attached to the shoulders of the black, red, and yellow suit, was a cape that draped down to his calves. On his chest was a stylish R. Dick, or Robin.

Next was a dark-skinned boy in a militaristic suit, covering his chest and lower body. This left his head and arms bare, though that seems to be by choice. He had no identifying trait, other than the eel-like tattoos running down his arms. Kaulder, known as Aquad.

The boy next to him also had his face laid bare and was in a similar outfit. Though, unlike Kaulder's, his suit wasn't armor, because he didn't need it. He had a loose-fitting black hoodie and similar pants. The pentagon with an S inside on his back was the only identifier, besides his face, he relaxed into his seat without a care in the world. Connor, is now known as Superboy.

Finally, on the far right was our main character. His suit was very different compared to his brother. First of all, he had his lower face covered by a featureless metal mask that wrapped around the back of his head, with grooves allowing for movement. His suit was also different, being skin tight. It was designed to be similar to Superman's, just without a cape and more militaristic.

Imagine Superman without a cape, a mask on, and pockets built into the waist and thighs for supplies and whatnot. Jackson, now known as Superion.

'I don't need the pockets, but I also don't want people knowing I can just pull shit out of thin air.' He thought to himself, mostly about his new identity.

He had chosen the name Superion for a few reasons. The first being that Kyrptonians had a theme going in this world and he didn't want to break it just yet. The second was a nod to Hyperion in the studio next door, and finally, it was a mash-up.

'Superman and Hyperion(The Titan in Greek Mythology.) Superman because of obvious reasons (I'm lazy) and Hyperion because of his power.'

The Titan of Flame and sometimes destruction. He chose him because Jackson could imagine the Titan like a living sun- like Kryptonians.

'Well, that and I'm sure eventually I'll be able to live up to the name in power, not just in aspirations and dreams.'

"How much longer now?" An irritated voice drew his eyes to his left, where Conner had leaned forward in anticipation.

Megan didn't look back, answering over her shoulder as she continued to pilot the alien aircraft. "Not long now, we're coming up on drop point A in a few minutes."

Drop point A is where Aquad would dive below into the water and approach the coast.

Looking at his brother, Jackson was still surprised he and Bruce had managed to get the boy to change his outfit in the first place.

He seemed adamant about keeping the shirt for a while until Bruce told him he had made a better version of the suits from Cadmus.

'Speaking about Cadmus, I wonder how he's handling Roy?' Jackson asked himself, as they approached the island.

"Drop point A," Megan spoke, signaling Kaulder to drop.

Nodding his bead in approval, his seat and the floor under it promptly dissolved, dropping him into the dark waters below.

'He must be really worried that the Light can clone people. It just goes as a testament to how good of an actor he is because the man gave no inclination that he was worried about anything.'

Forcing himself out of his thoughts, Jackson looked up to see that they had already reached the island.

"Remember, all we have to do is observe for the time being," Jackson spoke up, making the rest of the team focus on the task ahead. "The plan is to sneak into the main compound and get a read on what's happening there."

"Yeah yeah yeah, we got it already man. We don't need another Bat riding our shoulders." Wally said indignantly.

"Trust me, one is enough," Dick said, checking his utility belt.

"Coming up on our LZ," Megan told them, stopping the ship and bringing it down to the ground.

Filing out of the ship, the team quickly set about checking their surroundings.

"There's a squad up ahead of us," Conner warned us, almost twitching in place.

"Another approaching them, looks like they'll meet each other before us," Jackson added, stealing the words straight from the show.

"I say we avoid them," Kaulder said. "Our objective is to observe the main complex, not every team going around on the island."

Before Wally could even think about running off, Jackson grabbed his shoulder. "Don't run off. Half of the island is a swamp and you easily slip and get captured."

Luckily, Dick spoke up before he could argue.

"Already checked them. Looks like it's Bane's men and a group called Kobra are fighting for control. Must be the conflict Batman told us about."

Kaulder nodded. "Then let's avoid them for now and get to where we need to go."

It seemed that this version of Kaulder was a lot more strict when it came to mission objectives.

To his credit, the team agreed with him. The troublemakers (Wally and Dick) following along probably to impress Miss Martian.

---

It didn't take very long to arrive, the island not being so incredibly large that it would take hours.

Currently, the team was posted up on a hill looking over the complex.

"How should we do this?" Megan asked, obviously worried.

"I'll head in first and look for the control room. From there I'll download whatever data they have and come back." Dick said.

"What why? You don't trust us enough to stay quiet?" Wally asked Boy Wonder before he could run off.

"No. I don't. Besides, I have the most experience with stuff like this."

And before they knew it, he had disappeared off into the night, leaving Wally to huff and puff about how it 'Wasn't fair.'

Shaking his head, Jackson felt a little worried about Dick. 'I hope everything goes well for him. I think comms were jammed in the show...'

A/N: I just started two-a-days so from now on I'm just going to post whenever I can. Starting Monday I'll try to post 3 a week! Im so sorry about all of this!

Key word: Try. I doubt I'll be able to
