Fine me on tumbr at

Tech Savvy

Mount Justice, Conference Room

"Today, we will again be working on mental training, however we will be working more into technology; how can technology help us on a mission?" Black Canary asked, standing above the seated teens, again this week positioned around a circular table.

"Most information is stored on computers, so you need to know a thing or two about technology," Artemis replied in her raspy voice, eyes showing slight boredom at the obvious question.

"And it is useful to be able to know how to set up or deactivate a comm link without simply smashing it," Kaldur said dryly, thinking back to the team's last mission.

"You can deactivate security systems or whatever," Wally said, chewing mindlessly on skittles, large bag sitting in front of him.

"Oh! You can look up recipes for cooking on computers," M'gann said with a smile, eyes showing her excitement and enthusiasm.

"Mission related, Miss Martian," Black Canary let out bluntly, hoping to get the beginning of the class over with so that she could leave.

"You can hack into government systems," Robin said with a smirk.

"Mission relate-"

"Hey, Batman-"

"-has never asked you to hack government sites," Black Canary finished for the young vigilante with a glare.

"So you think," the ebony haired boy wonder snarked.

"Moving on," the oldest hero said with a sigh, "I want each of you to share what the highest piece of tech you have used or most advanced technological thing you have done," Black Canary finished, slowly walking backwards out the room, then turning swiftly and shutting the door.

"Alright, I'm outta here," Wally said, starting to stand up, but quickly sat back down from the glare Kadlur was giving him.

"If Black Canary and the rest of the League think it is important that we learn this, then I believe it is in our best interest to try to learn," the Atlantain said with authority, looking directly at the fastest teen alive.

"Fiiinnnnnnnne," the red haired speedster groaned out, rolling his emerald eyes as he lounged back into his chair.

"Can we just name Robin as the most tech savvy and get this part over with?" Artemis growled out, not wanting to stay in the room any longer than necessary.

"HEY! Just cause Boy Blunder has access to all Bat's technology doesn't make him the most tech savvy," Wally called, much to the amazement of everyone in the room.

"Robin has hacked an elevator," Artemis deadpanned.

"So-"

"And the motion sensors and has gotten the floor plans on most of the places we've gone through simple hacking," M'gann added in, smiling fondly at the young acrobat.

"Your point?"

"As well as hacking secure government sites, apparently without the Justice League's knowledge."

"With Batman's technology! And a holo-computer that is owned by Batman! Hello!" Wally cried, arms flapping in the air for emphasis.

"With a holo-computer that I designed myself, and created myself," Robin cut in with a dry look at the speedster.

"Well, isn't someone Mr-"

"Genius? Because my IQ is actually-"

"Ass-clown," Wally finished, causing everyone to look at him in confusion.

"Just cause I don't like Joker doesn't make that a good comeback, Kid Mouth," the Boy Wonder deadpanned.

"Boy Blunder!"

"Kid Idiot."

"Boy-"

"Enough!" Kaldur spoke up, raising his voice slightly to be heard over the bickering pair, "Let us move onto the lesson for today, Robin, we are naming you the teacher once more, do you believe this to be wise choice?"

"Sure."

"Then can ya start?" Artemis asked, wanting to get into the gym soon.

"Well, um, technology is an art," Robin started with a smirk, "An art of-"

"GOSH NO! I SWEAR IF YOU SAY THE ART OF BEING A BAT, I WILL END YOU!" Wally whaled, hands pulling at his orange red hair.

"I was gonna say the art of being awesome, but the art of being a bat works too," Robin said with smirk.

"Robin," Kaldur warned, the team leaders eyes glancing at the angry red head.

"Fine fine, how bout I see how you can research an enemy, in order to fight someone, you need to know about them, each of you go and research a villain or something and we can each share in like thirty minutes, or however long it takes you to figure something out," Robin said offhandedly, mind wandering back to Gotham and the things he still had to do before going out that night with his mentor.

So Wally of course went over to one of the computer and got on facebook, not caring what he was doing, already having planned what he would show the rest of the team for his 'villain'.

***Half an hour later***

As the team had worked, the Boy Wonder had set up a wall screen that no one even knew existed, or might not even have existed before this point. M'gann had volunteered to be the first one to go up, a smile on her face.

"I researched Bane, as we saw him recently, and I found a wonderful website called Wikipedia that had lots of information on him," the Martian said with a flourish of her hands, pointing at the screen.

"Cadmus associated Wikipedia with idiots," Conner let out bluntly, eyeing the website page.

"That's what they teach us in school," Artemis added in, eyes slightly glazed over.

"But it is a good summary site," Robin spoke up from his perch on the table, seeing the Martian's downcast look at having a faulty source, "You did fine, Miss M," he added with a smile, indicating that she could sit down.

"I'll go," Artemis spoke up, hoping to get it over with so she could sit back down and zone out.

"I used several different government websites that I may or may not have gained access to via a hacking program that Robin installed on my computer," the archer began, showing picture of several different villains the team had faced.

"That's cheating the teacher helped you!" Wally called out, pout on his face, though he just wanted to get a rise out of the archer.

"You're just jealous, Kid Mouth," Artemis said slyly.

"Jealous? Of you? Artichoke? Get real," the speedster scoffed.

"If you're so good, come up and show us what you found," the female vigilante challenged, hands on hips.

"My pleasure," Wally replied with a mischievous smirk, jumping up to the front of the room.

"I did some quick research with Google Images," the red head said, typing as he talked, "And we can't all forget the scaly undies, Boy Blunder," the speedster said with a smirk.

The search for Boy Blunder had brought up an array of images of Robin tied up, hanging upside down, tied to an airplane, most of them where older as depicted by his dated costume. But as Wally scrolled down the page, a few images popped up that weren't as fun as the rest.

"What is that?" Wally asked, hovering over an image to zoom it in, although he quickly regretted it, the image was on the top of one of Gotham's sky scrapers, and it showed the words 'Bloody Boy Blunder' written in what was presumed to be blood with Robin laying in a pool of his own blood in the middle.

Wally stepped back from the image, totally horrified at what he was seeing, and didn't notice as his best friend swiftly past him to close the window browser.

"Robin-"

"Forget it," Robin growled out, pulling a chair out and roughly sitting in it.

"But Robin-"

"I said forget it, it will do you no good to remember that image, if I didn't have the scar I would have asked J'onn to erase the memory entirely," the ebony haired teen said coldly, eyes looking straight ahead at a wall.

"Scar, Robin?" Artemis asked softy, not wanting to set off the young bird.

Robin stayed silent, but in response took pulled off his hoodie and then his t-shirt to show an array of scars criss crossing his abdominal, one of the large ones was a large gash from his right hip bone to right below his left arm pit, although the team didn't miss the deep J carved into the part right of his chest.

"The Joker had an obsession for me when I first emerged, an unhealthy one, he liked to use me as bait for Batman," Robin said softly, pulling his shirt back down and pulling his hoodie back on.

"I'm sorry," M'gann said softly, tears in her eyes as she spoke.

"There's nothing any of us can do now," Robin said with a small smile, trying to relieve the Martian.

"We can train and get better," Wally said with conviction, looking the Boy Wonder in the eye, smile on his face, "Then we can hand every criminal we run into their asses!"

"So we shall train now," Kaldur spoke up, eyeing the computer screen again.

"NOOOOO," Wally cried, realizing he had to actually research someone now.

SO I don't know how I feel about that ending or the chapter as a whole, it all felt like total crack, but I don't care cause I gotta pee so bad! Hope you liked this!

Review please! And find me on tumbr! Haha got one!

Thanks and God Bless! –Carpella
