It had been just another mission assigned by Batman. Same drills- go in, get info, come out and report back without being spotted by anyone…or at least try and not get spotted. It was pretty difficult being stealthy while having 2 teammates that acted like kids in 1st grade that still believed one another had the cooties.
Their mission? Some mad, crazy, evil wackos had scientist make a super weapon created especially for meta-humans, though it was still in the making-a Prototype. It was supposed to cause great harm and destroy them, but since the scientist and other lackeys working for them are under a great amount of pressure. A mistake can happen here or there, a few mistakes…or rather several of them.
When the Young Justice was caught, chaos broke loose. Alarms screeched throughout the entire building. Red alarms flashed everywhere.
"Robin! Did you retrieve the info?" Aqualad asked while on the lookout for guards.
"Aaaaaalllllmooossssstt-got it! But just to put it out there, I wasn't the one who tripped the alarm. I made sure there weren't any bugs in the system"
"Well worry about that later. Now we need to find the others and get out of here quickly before they find us."
'Miss M. you there?'
'Robin! So everything went successful?' She asked cheerfully.
'Yup, just got to get the others and ditch the place.'
'Alright, let me just link us all together!' "You ready Superboy?" she asked him. She knew he didn't like the whole surprise telepathy thing so she asked before.
Superboy mumbled incoherently, M'gann took it as an ok.
'Is everyone present?'
'I'm here Miss M.' Robin announced.
'As am I' Aqualad answered.
'You all know I'm here' Superboy said.
'WOULD YOU JUST SHUT YOUR TRAP BAYWATCH GOSH YOU'RE SO ANNOYING!'
'YOU'RE THE ONE WHO STARTED IT IN THE FIRST PLACE. AT LEAST I WASN'T THE ONE WHO TRIPPED THE ALARM!'
'I DIDN'T TRIP IT YOU DID.'
'DID NOT'
'DID TOO'
'uhh- guys can we please stop fighting for one second and try to meet up and go home?' M'gann asked while holding her aching head.
'tch, whatever'
'Anything for you Beautiful.'
'Alright, we need to meet up at the en-'Aqualad thought until he realized they almost ran into each other at a four-way hallway.
"—trance."
"Well now that we got that covered. I'd say we get outta here now." Robin said.
Superboy's face puzzled as he tilted his head. Everyone knew that his ears were picking up on something.
"Footsteps are coming this way." He announced. "We need to leave now."
Everyone nodded their head in agreement and ran into the one open hallway that was beside and in front of them.
"FREEZE! Put your hands in the air NOW." A guard from where M'gann and Superboy were rounded the corner. The five kept running while Robin waited to be last and threw smoke pellets at them and ran after his teammates.
Professor Kellen was stressing out- no…PISSED. I mean, he had almost gotten the dang weapon finished and now the alarms and sirens go off scaring him half to death making,him lose his train of thought.
'He had warned me about this earlier, GOD sometimes I wish he wasn't always right' he thought to himself.
"SIR-intruders ha-"
"I THINK I KNOW INTRUDERS HAVE INFILTRATED THE BUILDING YOU IMBECILE"
"They hacked the systems and got information on the weapon, Sir! And they're going towards the entrance as we speak." The Lackey finished.
"Well, let us see what this baby can do, shall we?" Professor Kellen smiled oh so menacingly as he ran towards the emergency exit, weapon in hand, that lead straight towards the entrance of the building.
Artemis began shooting arrows towards the ceiling, which fell down on the guards that tried to catch them. Robin threw batarangs at the guard that was in front of him only to have discovered that he didn't see any blood coming from their wounds. He squinted at him…no IT. Wires. Circuits. "THEY'RE ROBOTIC" He exclaimed
Aqualad nodded and yelled "DON'T HOLD BACK, THEY'RE ROBOTS. At that Superboy yelled and could finally start his smashing spree.
"Robin, can you pull up a blueprint of the building and lead us out of here?" Aqualad asked the boy wonder.
"On it." Robin began tapping away at his minicomputer on his wrist. "Just 2 more lefts, a right, down 2 flights of stairs, one more left and we're out!"
Robin lost KidFlash after he spoke of the 2 lefts and a right.
"Just follow me guys." And with that took off. The others soon began to follow suit.
That's when it all happened. All too fast.
When they all ran out the building and making sure nobody had followed them, they hadn't noticed the man on top of the fence, balancing almost perfectly.
"YOU BUNCH OF MONGRELS HAVE RUINED MY CONCENTRATION."
Everyone snapped their heads towards the voice.
"Smile~ my little lab rats." He said all while cranking the dial on the weapon and pointing it towards the five kids. "DIE." A bright green beam was blasted towards them. The beam expanded and became too wide, even if they had tried running away from it, they would still be hit by it.
M'gann began lifting several empty crates and launching it at the beam that was headed towards them, but it had no effect on the crates. They just simply broke apart as they landed on the ground. Her eyes widened no effect at all? It couldn't be. She began lifting rocks and such and thrusting it towards the green beam. Again, nothing.
"Uhh GUYS, we have a problem! Nothing I throw at it will work!" she exclaimed worryingly.
Aqualad held a water barrier about several feet away from them. Nope. Didn't work either.
"M'GANN Get the bioship now!"
"Already on it!"
But it was too late. The beam had hit them. Even after KidFlash picked Artemis up bridal style and tried to run, when M'gann picked Aqualad up and tried to fly her fastest away, and after Superboy had picked Robin up the same way Artemis was and tried to leap off several hundred feet into the air away from danger and towards safety.
After the beam had disappeared leaving nothing.
He knew he had hit them, but remains were not present.
They ran away successfully.
But he knew that his beam had worked and hit them, he just didn't know what it would do to them or when.
'Team, status.'
'HA his beam was so not asterous! Thing didn't even burn or leave a mark!'
'Superboy?'
'I feel fine.'
'KidFlash? Artemis?'
'We're alright.'
'Don't speak for the both of us!'
'You know blondie! I'm really…no-not...fee….ling aweso-'
'KF? Everything alright buddy?' Robin was worried. If it didn't do any visual damage, what about on the inside?
KidFlash fell out of the link.
'He went unconscious!' M'gann gasped.
'G-GUYS somethings not right with Wally! Hes not waking up!'
'Bioship is rounding us up, just sit tight, Artemis.' M'gann said.
'Ok.'
Artemis sat with Wally's head in her lap, patting his head slowly.
"Wake up stupid..."
