Star City- Docks; July 17th, 23:16 PDT

In the cover of the night, two people are unloading a truck. As they remove the first long, flat, container an arrow drops between the two of them. Red fletching showing off and the nock blinks bright red before releasing gas. The two stumble and the container goes flying, popping open to reveal a high-tech gun. Which slides to the feet of one of their associates. He takes aim, the barrel gaining three red streaks. He looks at the construction set up over his head, finally zeroing in on Roy, who seems to have fully ditched the hat.

Brick: "You again!" "I'm starting to get insulted Green Arrow's not messing up my operation personally."

Then narrows his eyes as he aims for Roy.

The Arrow-themed protége dives right grabbing onto the next support column, just barely staying in front of the shots. As Brick shoots at the bridge that he nearly grabbed he drops down one level and runs across that bridge instead. Brick shoots just in front of the young man, who changes his momentum so he flips as he nocks an arrow and releases it. Shooting it right down the barrel, causing it to explode in Brick's hand, leaving him physically unharmed even though it shreds his suit.

Brick: "Do you know what I pay for a suit in my size?!"

He yells even more angry at the Arrow-themed eighteen-year-old.

Brick: "Scorch the Earth, boys."

The other four raise their guns to do just that, but a blur comes through and two of them are suddenly left weaponless. The other two turn towards where the blur ran off to, only for their guns to be knocked out of their hands. Dick swings into an opening in the crates with his happy cackle. Bring their attention right to Kaldur.

The Atlantean drops down with his water-bears turning into whips which hit the smugglers in full force. Knocking them into the back of the truck and to the ground, unconscious.

Brick lifts a chunk of concrete and throws it at Roy who is also using the crates to his advantage as he waits to strike with his already nocked arrow. He comes to a stop, bracing himself in a downward diagonal with his foot on one of the crates as he launches an arrow that explodes as it hits Brick's massive shoulder. It doesn't stop the metahuman from throwing another piece of concrete at Roy. However, this time Roy jumps out of the way, nocking another arrow as Kaldur jumps where Roy was with a mace and sword formed from his WaterBearers. Chopping the concrete in two. Giving Roy the opening to hit Brick with a gas arrow.

Roy walks to the slightly out of breath Kaldur as he releases the magic that lets his water-bearers take shape.

Kaldur: "The cave is perfect. It has everything the Team will need."

Robin: "For covert missions. You know, spy stuff."

Wally runs up the crates and lands just shy of the edge with inverted half.

Wally: "And wait till you see Superboy and Miss Martian. But I saw her first."

The gas wasn't enough to take out Brick, which is made clear as he lets loose another war cry and throws another piece of concrete at the four conversing teenagers. Roy, Robin, and Wally all dive out of the way, but Kaldur remains firm. Taking out the concrete with twin maces. Roy uses two arrows that stick to Brick's chest and release three spurts of flame to knock him back. Though the villain just chuckles.

Brick: "Tell Arrow he shouldn't send boys to do a man's job."

Brick, suddenly heard something in the shadows, then he turned around and sees Nathan Ninja Streaked towards with concrete gauntlets.

Nathan: Surprise!

Nathan punched Brick right in the face sending him seven feet and he got slammed against the wall and tumble down, he was unconscious.

Wally: Nice.

Nathan: Thanks

Roy turns and walks away, but in order to fully get out of the docks, he needs to walk past Robin and Kaldur. Who stand on either side of two crates that create a path that will lead right out of the docks, if you know the way.

Nathan: "So, Speedy, you in?"

Roy: "Pass. I'm done letting Arrow and the League tell me what to do. I don't need a babysitter or a clubhouse to hang out with the other kids. Your Junior Justice League is a joke. Something to keep you busy and in your place. I don't want any part of it."

All four can only watch as their oldest friend, and the one the four of them look up to not only turns it down but insults it as well. Then, they turn to each other with shocked expressions.

Mount Justice; July 18th, 11:16 EDT

The Mount Justice Computer picks up the Zeta Tube usage, routing the users from North Carolina to the Mountain which the map shows in Rhode Island.

Computer: Recognize: Robin; B-0-1, Kid Flash; B-0-3, Ronin; B-1-0.

The three boys appear in their civilian clothes. Smiling brightly, then running out of the Zeta Tube to the room they're connected to. Finding Miss Martian, Kaldur, and Superboy standing before a HoloScreen.

Nathan: "Well?"

Robin: "Did you ask him?"

Wally: "What did he say?"

Kaldur: "He is arriving now."

Wally friendly punches Dick in the chest.

Wally: "Then what are we waiting for?"

Before running off, Robin and Nathan follows close behind, and finally Kaldur. Leaving Miss Martian and Superboy, the redhead smiles at the clone as she puts her hands on her hips. Superboy turns, crossing his arms over his t-shirt before walking off. Miss Martian smiles and takes flight to follow the boys. They arrive at one of the entrances which is a ramp that falls down into the cave from the ground above them. All six walk up the ramp, as Red Tornado lands before them.

Wally: "Red Tornado!"

Red Tornado: "Greeting. Is there a reason you intercept me outside the cave?"

His monotone voice makes it rather hard to discern the question portion of his sentence.

Kaldur: "We hoped you had a mission for us."

Red Tornado: "Mission assignments are the Batman's responsibility."

Robin: "But it's been over a week and nothing-"

Red Tornado: "You'll be tested soon enough. For the time being, simply enjoy each other's company."

Nathan: "This team is not a social club."

Red Tornado: "No, but I am told social interaction is an important team-building exercise. Perhaps you can keep busy by familiarizing yourselves with the cave."

Tornado says, walking past the six teens and into the cave.

All six can only watch as he does.

Wally turns to Robin, punching him in the shoulder again.

Wally: "＂Keep busy＂."

The speedster nearly growls.

Robin: "Does he really think we're falling for this?"

M'gann: "Oh, I'll find out."

Miss Martian says excitedly, then turns towards Red Tornado and her expression relaxes slightly.

Computer: Recognize: Red Tornado; 1-6.

Miss Martian uses her power to read Red Tornado's mind unfortunately she wasn't able to read his mind because he's a machine.

M'gann: (sighs) "I'm sorry, I forgot he's a machine, inorganic. I... cannot read his mind."

Wally: "Nice try, though. So, uh, you know what I'm thinkin' right now?"

He looks up at her with a flirtatious smile.

Nathan: "We all know what you're thinkin' now."

Nathan grumbles and two finger smacks the speedster's forehead.

Wally: Ow!

Kaldur: "And now we tour the clubhouse."

M'gann: "Well, Superboy and I live here. We can play tour guides."

Robin, Nathan and Wally instantly turn to Superboy.

Superboy: "Don't look at me."

Wally: "We won't. A private tour sounds so much better."

Wally says, looking to Miss Martian again then without warning, Nathan two finger smacks Wally at the forehead again.

Wally: Ow!

Nathan: "She never said private."

Kaldur: "Team building. We'll all go."

They all turn to go back down the ramp, but Robin grabs Wally's arm and yanks him back.

M'gann: "So, this would be our front door..." Miss Martian begins. "And this would be the back."

Miss Martian continues as they come out on the other side of the mountain. "The cave is actually the entire mountain."

Wally: "It was hollowed out and reinforced by Superman and Green Lantern in the early days of the League."

Wally explains what he knows about the history of the mountain.

Superboy: "Then why abandon it for the Hall of Justice?"

Kaldur: "The cave's secret location was... compromised."

Superboy: "So they traded it in for a tourist trap? Yeah. That makes sense."

M'gann: "If the Bad Guys know of the cave, then we must be on constant alert."

Robin: "The Bad Guys know we know they know about the place, so they'd never think to look here."

Wally: "Uh, he means we're hiding in plain sight."

M'gann: "Ah, that's much clearer."

Miss Martian still scratches her head, clearly still confused.

Superboy: (sniffed) "I smell smoke."

M'gann: (gasps) "My cookies."

Miss Martian flies down the hallway. Making it to the kitchen and removing said cookies, with telekinesis, before the boys can make it into the room. As she sets them down the boys enter the room, looking at the burnt-black cookies on the tray.

M'gann: "I was trying Grammy Jones' recipe from episode 17 of-" (chuckled) "Nevermind."

Robin: "I bet they'd tasted great. He doesn't seem to mind."

Surprised Miss Martian looks back up, finding Wally eating her cookies.

With his mouth still half full and a burnt cookie in each hand, Kaldur and Superboy can only watch in stunned silence.

Wally: (mouthful) "I have a serious metabolism."

M'gann: "I'll... make more?"

Kaldur: "It was sweet of you to make any."

M'gann: "Thanks, Aqualad."

Kaldur: "We're off duty. Call me Kaldur'ahm. Actually, my friends call me Kaldur."

Nathan: "I'm Nathan."

Wally: "I'm Wally. See? I already trust you with my secret ID, unlike Mr. Dark Glasses over here. Batman's forbidden Boy Wonder from telling anyone his real name."

M'gann: "Mine's no secret." Miss Martian admits brightly. "It's M'gann M'orzz. But you can call me Megan. It's an Earth name, I'm on Earth now."

Superboy remains slouched against the counter, then turns to leave which catches M'gann's attention.

M'gann: (telepathic link)"Don't worry, Superboy."

The clone grunts in shock and his posture tenses, looking at the green-skinned redhead in shock and possibly a tiny bit of fear.

M'gann: (telepathic link)"We'll find you an Earth name, too."

She continues, smiling kindly and totally unaware of what she's doing.

Superboy's grips his head for a moment.

Superboy: "Get out of my head!"

He shouts, gaining Kaldur, Wally, Nathan and Robin's attention in an instant. They all know what he does when he's angry, they look back to M'gann, a curious expression on their features.

M'gann: (telepathic link) "What's wrong? I don't understand. Everyone on Mars communicates telepathically."

She says, expanding her telepathic range to include Kaldur, Wally, Nathan and Robin.

All four react negatively to it. Robin physically grips his head with both hands, Kaldur turns away from M'gann closing his eyes and grimacing before finally putting his own hand to his head, while Wally brings his own hand to his forehead threading his fingers through his bright red hair, Nathan closed his eyes tightly grips his head with his right hand, and Superboy's fists clench at his sides as he looks almost ready to pounce.

Nathan: "M'gann stop."

Nathan commands anger clear in his voice. M'gann closes the link and looks confused and hurt, but listens to Nathan continue.

Nathan: "Look, things are different on Earth. Here, your powers are an extreme invasion of privacy."

Attempting to lighten the mood Wally adds in his two cents.

Wally: "Besides, Cadmus' creepy little psychic G-gnomes left a bad taste in his brain."

M'gann: "I- I didn't mean to-"

Superboy: "Just stay out."

Superboy growls cutting her off, his eyes burning bright with rage as he walks into the adjoining room.

M'gann: "Hello, Megan! I know what we can do."

She takes off flying, leaving the four boys to follow her. Wally turns to Robin who shrugs, but all four do follow her. Though Superboy remains behind, but M'gann stands in the entry to the hallway.

M'gann: "Superboy, please."

Superboy: "Don't talk to me."

He says, less angry and more instinctually annoyed. M'gann's face falls and Superboy looks out of the corner of his eye, seeing it. He looks back down before standing up. M'gann's face brightens, despite the fact that Superboy seems to only be doing this to not feel guilty about making a girl cry later.
____________________________________________

Coming down the elevator they stop at the hangar.

M'gann: "It's my Martian BioShip."

M'gann explains as the doors open. Leading the now curious boy towards a red oblong shape in the hangar.

Wally: "Cute." Not aerodynamic, but cute."

M'gann: "It's at rest, silly. I'll wake it."

M'gann smiles bright, reaching her hand out. as she does the oblong turns into a shape recognizable as a ship.

She even spins 180° with just a motion of her hand. A small staircase comes off the back, showing off some of the insides. She walks towards it but soon realizes the boys aren't following.

M'gann: "Well, are you coming?"

All five hesitate and board with nervous expressions. Once inside the front opens up to reveal a captain's chair and five more side chairs.

As he does Robin goes to lean forward as the chair moves, eliciting a "whoa" from the stunned- and possibly scared- Boy Wonder. The chair reaches out and creates chest restraints that hold the thirteen-year-old in place.

Wally sits down next and now knowing what happens, doesn't panic.

Wally: "Cool."

M'gann: "Red Tornado," M'gann says, sitting in the captain's chair. "please open the bay doors."

As the bay doors open two control towers form by M'gann's hands.

Once open the BioShip flies out at impressive speeds, only to slow just above the surface of the water and begin a near 90° upward flight, before barrel rolling to face towards the mainland once more.

Robin: "Incredible!"

Wally: "She sure is... I- I mean the ship, which like all ships, is a she."

Nathan: "Fast with his feet, not so much with his mouth."

Wally: "Dude!"

Kaldur turns to Superboy.

Kaldur: "I may not have psychic powers, but I can guess what you're thinking."

Superboy looks at Kaldur out of the corner of his eye.

Kaldur: "You overreacted and you don't know how to apologize. Just say sorry."

Kaldur treats it as if this happens regularly around him. Superboy doesn't say anything, merely looking out at the view once more.

Robin: "He'll come around."

Robin offers to M'gann, clearly knowing what the conversation between the three oldest- physically- members was about.

M'gann: "He doesn't seem to like me very much."

Wally: "You guys remember he has Super-Hearing? Right?"

Wally interrupts, and proving his point by not bothering to whisper, sure enough Superboy heard every word.

Robin: "Hey, how 'bout showing us a little bit of Martian Shapeshifting?"

Robin asks, changing the topic. M'gann nods subtly, thanking him for the change, before stepping up and gaining Kaldur and Superboy's attention as her clothes begin to change. Making her look like a feminine version of Robin, costume included.

Catching Wally's smirk she turns into a feminine version of Wally.

Wally: "Is it wrong that I think I'm hot?"

Nathan: Yes, yes it is.

Then finally M'gann turns to a feminine version of Nathan

Nathan: "Not bad."

Robin: "Impressive," she turns back into herself. "but you know you're not exactly going to fool anyone with those."

M'gann smiles softly as she sits down.

M'gann: "Mimicking boys is a lot harder."

Kaldur: "And your clothes?"

M'gann: "They're organic like the ship. They respond to my mental commands."

M'gann explains, pulling on her jacket slightly.

Superboy: "As long as they're the only ones."

Superboy says darkly not caring that he's heard by all of them.

Wally: "Can you do that ghosting through walls thing Manhunter does?"

M'gann: "Density shifting? No, it's a very advanced technique..."

Robin: "Flash can vibrate his molecules right through a wall. When he tries it, bloody nose."

Wally: "Dude!"

M'gann: "Here's something I can do."

M'gann says brightly, then the entire ship disappears from sight.

M'gann: "Camouflage Mode."

Red Tornado: "Red Tornado to Miss Martian. An emergency alert has been triggered at the Happy Harbor Power Plant. I suggest you investigate covertly. I'm sending coordinates."

All five are on high alert as the ship bings.

M'gann: "Received. Adjusting course."

Robin: (scoffs)"Tornado's keeping us busy again."

M'gann: "Well, a simple fire led you to Superboy. We should find out what caused the alert."

Nathan: "I think I know the cause."

Superboy: "What?"

Nathan: "Oh, you know probably just A GIANT TWISTER IS COMING RIGHT FOR US!

Everyone looked right outside the BioShip is a twister. Heading right for them. M'gann attempts to alter their course so not to be swept up but is unsuccessful and the BioShip glitches out of Camouflage Mode as they get fully entangled in the twister.

Trapped inside the twister all of them hold on and grunt as the wind whips them around. M'gann manages to open her eyes and reorientate herself, as she does her brow drops in concentration and her hands firmly press on the control towers, illuminating them as she gets them out of the twister and to the parking lot. Where Robin, Nathan, Wally, M'gann, Superboy, and Kaldur all drop out of a door created in the bottom of the ship.
____________________________________________

At the Power Plant, all the works are evacuating and screaming in fear.

Kaldur: "Robin, are tornadoes common in New England?"

Kaldur questions, hearing no response he turns to where the Boy Wonder just was but finds the space between him and M'gann now empty.

Kaldur: "Robin?"

Nathan: "Uh, he left about two minutes ago."

Their attention turns back to the Power Plant where the windows are being blown out.

The Boy Wonder's laugh echoes, but none of them can locate him.

M'gann: "H- he was just here."

Nathan: "Let's go get him.[The Kanpekina Baransu started glowing and transformed into Ronin]

Their attention turns back to the Power Plant where the windows are being blown out.
____________________________________________

Inside the Power Plant is a red and black exo-suit, with blue tubing running from his shoulders, up and to his lower back, and a brown scarf covering his mouth. Tornado-like funnels coming from each hand.

The funnels hit Robin directly and slam him into the support pillar nearly eight feet off the ground, then he falls to the ground. Hitting his back both times.

The other members of the Team running in through the loading bay doors, Superboy jumping the stairs to land beside Robin as the Boy Wonder sits up.

Robin: "Who's your new friend?"

Robin looks to Superboy, grimacing at the motion.

Robin: "Didn't catch his name, but he plays kinda rough."

The clone jumps at the villain. He finishes, warning the clone.

The exo-suit wearing villain stands ready, air pulses still coming from his wrists, though the bright blue tubing is now confirmed to be going to the tops of his wrists as well.

Mr. Twister: "My apologies. You may address me as Mr. Twister."

Mr. Twister then throws both his hands up, creating two more tornadoes, which Superboy withstands, but before he can gain any more ground Twister redirects the tornado, grabbing Superboy before launching him into the wall, a good fifteen feet off the ground. As he hits the wall dents and he falls to the metal floor, unmoving.

Now on the main floor with Kaldur, Nathan, and Wally, M'gann turns the two more experienced boys. From his pocket, Wally pulls out his goggles sliding them over his eyes. As Robin gets back to his feet in front of him the barefoot Atlantean looks to M'gann then nods. Understand the Martian nods back. All four take off as a group around the Boy Wonder.

Nathan uses Earth Attack to launched dozen of boulders at Mr. Twister, but he uses a tornado to caught the boulders, and throws them back at Nathan. Nathan Ninja Streaked to dodged the boulders, but he got him by one.

Kid Flash speeds through a front handspring before aiming with both his feet at Mr. Twister's chest.

He doesn't quite make it as Mr. Twister raises his hands to create vortexes that stop him in his tracks. Then turn 180° and launching Wally out the bay doors, where he skids across the parking lot.

Unamused, Twister turns back in time to create twisters under a flying M'gann and a charging Kaldur, knocking both of them back and eliciting a yell. Kaldur hits a corner of one of the support beams, while M'gann narrowly misses and crashes into the raised grated walkway another ten feet behind the Boy Wonder.

Mr. Twister: "I was prepared to be challenged by a superhero." Twister goads, as Robin pulls a disk out from under his jacket. "I was not, however, expecting children."

Robin: "We're not children!"

Robin yells, launching a small bomb then the disk.

Twister counteracts the bomb with dual vortices, causing it to explode at a harmless distance, thinking the Boy Wonder faked one of his moves he lets the vortices drop, giving the disk the opportunity to land in the center of his chest plate. Which the villain flicks away with one finger.

Mr. Twister: "Objectively, you are." only then does it explode. "Have you no adult supervision? I find your presence here quite disturbing."

Robin: Well, we hate to see you disturbed." Robin bites back, bringing Twister's attention back to the standing six members of the Team. "Let's see if you're more turbed once we kick your can!"

With that M'gann reaches out with her telekinesis. Destroying the fixture over his head, creating a steam barrier that Superboy jumps through.

Even with the barrier Twister still reacts fast enough to catch Superboy before he can land a hit. Throwing him back and causing him to hit where the ceiling changes height, then bounce off to fall into a flying M'gann. Nathan, Robin and Kaldur dodge without missing a beat. The Atlantean's hands charging with electricity, same goes for Nathan with Lightning Strike. Twister says nothing as his hands begin creating vortices, that then become miniature twisters then pick up Nathan, Kaldur and Robin before slamming them into each other.

Nathan gets up and charged at Twister. Then he puts his hands together.

Nathan: Let's see if you can handle this!

Nathan put his fingers in a cross formation. Both the index and middle finger must be out, right hand vertical, left hand horizontal

Nathan: Shadow Clone!

Then for some reason, Nathan made four solid clones of himself appeared and attacked Twister. But Twister summoned a tornado to spun the Nathans around and slammed them to the ground. The four clones disappeared in smoke, living the the real Nathan groaned in pain.

Mr. Twister: "Indeed." the villain says, rising off the ground. "That was quite turbing. Thank you." then leaves as the Team groans back to consciousness.
____________________________________________

Outside, in the beginnings of the forest with the evidence of his crash surrounding him Wally comes to. Seeing Twister leaving he runs in front of the villain, then rolling to change direction and rolling through two more somersaults to stare down Twister.

Wally: "What have you done to my team?"

Mr. Twister: "Embarrassed them, largely."

Twister says, then bringing both his hands together to form a singular twister that snatches Wally up and is heading right for the outside wall of the power plant.

As the wind clears Wally is braced for impact, but not slamming into the wall.

M'gann: "I got you, Wally."

M'gann assures; her, Nathan, Dick, Superboy, and Aqualad stepping out of the last of the dust.

Wally straightens out of his balled position, eyes opening. He sighs in relief and drops the three feet that M'gann lets him drop with ease.

Wally: "Ohh. Thanks."

Mr. Twister: "I would have thought you had all learned your limitations by now."

Kaldur: "What do you want?!"

Kaldur yells angrily at the villain, who rises into the air.

Mr. Twister: "Isn't it obvious? I'm waiting for a real Hero."

Twister tells them, proving his thoughts that they are not that.

Kaldur: "Read his mind, find his weakness."

Kaldur throws over his shoulder to M'gann.

M'gann: "I thought I wasn't supposed to do that."

M'gann objects, now slightly hesitant and equally confused.

Nathan: "It's okay with the bad guys."

Determination sets in as M'gann sets out to do just that.

M'gann: "Nothing. I'm getting nothing." then she breaks her concentration, knocking her head slightly. "Hello, Megan. Mr. Twister is Red Tornado in disguise." all of them look up to the 'villain' in hurt shock. "He's inorganic, an android." Kaldur and Nathan turns to M'gann. "And how many androids do you know that generate tornadoes?" now both Robin and Wally turn towards her as well.

Kaldur: "Red Tornado sent us here."

Dick: "After saying we'd be ＂tested soon enough＂."This is his test, something to keep us busy."

Wally: "Speedy called it. We're a joke."

Kaldur makes a noise of frustration before slamming his fist into his hand and turning back towards the 'villain'.

Wally: "This game, so over."

Nathan: "We know who you are and what you want."

Kaldur: "So let's end this."

Mr. Twister: "Consider it ended."

Twister says darkly, raising his hands over his head and the two funnels begin creating dark clouds and a massive full-sized twister. As this happens, Robin's resolve gives slightly. A small amount of worry causes his lip to drop.

Kaldur: "An impressive show," Aqualad calls out, before exchanging glances with Nathan, Wally, and Robin. "but we will not indulge you." all four face back towards Twister. "We will not engage."

Lightning cracks into the eye of the storm, Mr. Twister. Wally turns towards the other two now nervous.

Wally: "Uh, can Red Tornado... do that?"

Mr. Twister: "You think I'm Tornado?" the lightning gains intensity. "Ironic." Twister says darkly before the lightning strikes the ground and hits just before the young heroes.

The only one who remains standing is Superboy, his coat is scorched, and he rips it off to fully show off his Superman t-shirt, before launching himself at Twister. The weather villain barely glances down as he hits Superboy with twin bolts of lightning from his hands. Knocking the clone into the ground with enough force to cause a trench behind him. Suddenly, Nathan felt a new surge of power coming, then he summoned a gust of wind from his hand and struck Twister.

Mr. Twister: Impressive trick. My turn.

Twister approaches, prepared for the final shot.

As he does the only one who regains consciousness is M'gann. She looks up at Twister's web of lightning before all six disappear from sight. He backs off.

Mr. Twister: "Fine, then."M'gann remains crouched as six of them are hidden by the camouflaged BioShip. "I won't deny that you children have power," Wally comes to- his goggles now pushed to his forehead by the force of Twister's previous strike- with hand to his head and groan, but the groan barely begins before M'gann covers his mouth. "But playing hide-and-seek with you will not help me achieve my objective." Wally and M'gann stare right at Twister, but he still cannot see them. "So stay concealed. If you confront me again, I will show no mercy." emphasizing his point by clenching his fist to create lightning sparks does he finally leave. Heading for the town of Happy Harbor.

Nathan, Robin, Kaldur, and Superboy all stare up in shock.

Wally: "What happened?"

M'gann: "I placed the BioShip between us."

Superboy stands and releases to hook punches on an unsuspecting rock formation.

Superboy: "And that's supposed to make it right?"

All four other boys stand up as Superboy stalks towards as still sitting Miss Martian.

Superboy: "You tricked us into thinking Twister was Red Tornado."

Nathan: "Hey, she didn't do it on purpose, so cool it."

Robin: "It- it was a rookie mistake. We shouldn't have listened."

Wally: "You are pretty inexperienced."

That catches M'gann's attention. She turns straight to the other ginger, his head drops slightly.

Wally: "Hit the showers. We'll take it from here."

Superboy: "Stay out of our way."

Superboy says darkly as he walks between M'gann and the two younger boys.

M'gann's face falls as she watches Superboy accelerate into a run, then jump. Just behind him, Wally chooses that same spot to book it to supersonic speeds. Robin uses the dust cloud to disappear from sight. Nathan Ninja Streaked to follow them .

M'gann: "I was just trying to be part of the team."

M'gann says sadly, her bangs falling in front of her eyes. Kaldur stops a few steps in front of her and at least three to her left.

Kaldur: "To be honest, I'm not sure we have a team."

Kaldur left M'gann to follow the other four boys.
____________________________________________

The town of Happy Harbor is under siege, or nearly, twin twisters blow through the small town, triggering car alarms and panic. One rips across the harbor, picking up boats and dropping them in the town square before that same twister runs through a building. Taking it down with ease. The three twisters are destroying what there is of the postage stamp town.

Twister stands in the center, controlling the destruction.

Mr. Twister: "Certainly this will get the required attention."

Wally: "You've got ours!" Wally shouts, gaining Twister's attention. "Full and undivided!" the goggle-wearing speedster rips down the road, hitting Twister hard enough to knock him back a good three feet.

Mr. Twister: "Immaterial and insufficient!"

Twister proclaims. "You are a distraction I can no longer tolerate."

Before he can act on his annoyance Superboy drops with a battle cry and hits Twister hard enough to knock him back three or four times the distance Wally did, then Nathan comes in with a solid Lead Hurricane kick to the face. As he comes to a stop, three boys stand ready.

Twister unleashes another twister that is going straight for them.
____________________________________________

In the BioShip, on the way back to Mount Justice, M'gann has Red Tornado on the line.

M'gann: "The Team really needs your help."

Red Tornado: "If I intervened, it would not be to help." Tornado tells the green teen. "Still, it is an odd coincidence that this Twister shares my elemental abilities and my immunity to telepathy."

M'gann looks away for a moment before hitting her head once more.

M'gann: "Hello, Megan." now there's a smile on her face.
____________________________________________

Robin and Kaldur vault and jump over a parked car, coming at Twister's back as he throws a boat at Superboy. However, he turns right to them, creating small twisters. Which Aqualad dodges with ease and continues for the elemental villain. Before getting caught in a disk spiral and launched at the Town Hall building and crashing into the railing of the second-story deck.

Wally speeds at him, only for Twister to catch him as well. The villain brings him over his head and Wally finds his opening. Dropping out of the current and rolling into a crouch he takes off as Twister creates another twister. Which heads right for Robin. Who evades and in his place the twister explodes. He launches three more at Twister, all of which are deflected, but leaves the villain barely enough time to avoid Superboy's punch that dents the ground.

Nathan uses the Shadow Clone Technique and made 10 solid clones of himself. They uses Weapon Materialization to create katanas, sais, and spears, then they charged at Mr. Twister. They tried to sliced him into pieces but he was too strong, they even used Earth Attack and Lightning Strike to struck him down, but Twister summoned 10 tornados and counter their attacks and strikes the clones, they disappeared and Nathan is still standing.

In his evasion, Twister can summon another twister, which picks up the clone and launches him away. Right to where Kaldur is just getting himself out of the rubble from his own fall. Twister sends a boat right after him.

Kaldur moves out of the way, knowing Superboy is invulnerable. Though the boat's motor lands mere inches from him. Due to his Atlantean physiology, he has minimal trouble lifting the heavy piece of equipment then throwing it at Twister.

Robin hides behind one of the other thrown boats and Wally speeds around to join him. Robin pulls his yellow Utility Belt out of his jacket sleeve and throws it over his shoulder.

Wally: "You brought your Utility Belt?"

Wally questions, sounding more annoyed than surprised.

Robin: "Never leave home without it-" Robin confirms and defends, clipping it together. "First thing Batman taught me."

Wally: "Yeah, right after: don't go to the bathroom without it."

M'gann: (telepathic link) "Listen to me."

M'gann's voice comes over the mental link.
Nathan and Robin grabbed their heads in their hands as does Wally, though his eyes noticeably clench shut as well.

Kaldur gets thrown back by Superboy, who managed to get himself out from under the boat.

M'gann: (telepathic link) "All of you."

Superboy: "What did we tell you?"

M'gann: (telepathic link) "I know, and I know I messed up," M'gann admits. "but now I'm very clear on what we need to do. Please trust me."

Two citizens are still running around the town. A police officer is directing everyone. "Get Back! Everyone clear the area!" unaware of the twister headed right for him.
____________________________________________

A citizen running away watches as Red Tornado flies over him, and he smiles.

Red Tornado comes to the center of Happy Harbor where Robin, Wally, Nathan, Kaldur, and Superboy now stand just out of Twister's range. The villain stops as he sees Tornado.

Red Tornado: "Hit the showers, boys."

The Leaguer instructs, landing. Though not accompanied by his usual red tornado like he used when greeting the Team outside the Mountain

Red Tornado: "I was hoping you could handle this. Clearly, you cannot."

Robin: "But we've got a plan now."

Red Tornado: "The subject is not up for debate."

Tornado tells them. All of them say nothing as they walk away.

Mr. Twister: "I was beginning to believe you'd never show up."

Red Tornado: "I'm here now."

Tornado says, his right hand reaching out beyond his cape to create a twister he sends right at Twister. Who counteracts it, but as Tornado attempts an attack on his turned back, Twister sends another at the Leaguer. Tornado disperses the attack before any damage can be done.

Red Tornado: "We are evenly matched, Twister."

Tornado says, using both hands to create a tornado behind him to throw at Twister.

Mr. Twister: "No, Tornado, we are not."

Twister emphasizes his point with a punch that blocks the rubble with a wall made of air before shooting lightning at the Leaguer.

Tornado dodges and takes flight, guiding the lightning to one of the crashed boats which explodes into him knocking him to the ground as he sparks.

Twister lands beside him.

Mr. Twister: "Remain still, android." all his fingertips become computer connectors which fall around the back of Red Tornado's head and neck. "The reprogramming won't take long."

Tornado grabs the wires, turning his head towards Twister before turning into M'gann's head.

M'gann: "Longer than you might think."

Mr. Twister: "No."

Twister gaps, then M'gann launches him back with her telekinesis, ripping out the wires from his hand. Into an oncoming twister, which catches the villain and sends him over her head. As it comes to a stop, Wally was the one creating it, by spinning, and Nathan help him out by using his wind elemental power.

Superboy hits the off-balance villain with a hard punch to the kidney area, before hitting him hard in the stomach as he grabs the massive arm under his own and hitting him twice more in the chest.

Causing smoke to start coming out of the seams in the metal plates. Then he reels back, hits him straight in the face, knocking him into the harbor with an impressive splash.

As he sinks, he turns to find Kaldur waiting for him, impaling the two points in the metal he's using into his already damaged chest area. Then his tattoos begin to glow and electricity passes into Twister. The explosion brings him back to the ground. One of his arms is missing. M'gann uses her telepathy to bring him off the ground and rip his other arm off as Dick throws exploding disks which knock Twister to the ground.

Even with no arms Twister rises to his knees, only to find the whole Team before him. The chest panel opens, revealing a man, about forty years old, medium-length brown hair in a green and white suit. He falls out of the exo-suit and to the ground.

Man: "Foul. I- I call foul." he stutters.

M'gann steps up, an angry look in her eyes, before telekinetically reaching over to pull up a massive slab of the ground. Realizing what she's doing, Kaldur attempts to stop her by forcing her arms back to her body, but at that point, it was already over the man. The rock hits, crushing him before their eyes.

Wally, Nathan and Robin stand stunned before Robin gets angry and steps up the girl three years his senior.

Robin: "Don't know how things are done on Mars, but on Earth, we don't execute our captives!"

M'gann seems undeterred.

M'gann: "You said you trust me.

Lifts the boulder to reveal another android, though now it's in crushed pieces.

M'gann: "That's why I couldn't read his mind."

Wally steps up and grabs one of the eyeballs.

Wally: "Cool. Souvenir." flicking in so he can catch it in his fist as he looks to M'gann.

Kaldur: "We should have had more faith in you."

Wally: "Yeah, you rocked this mission." Wally agrees. When no one says anything he has to ask. "Get it? Rocked."

Nathan: "Please stop"

As the android's eye turns red Robin mutters an "ignore him." then continues in a brighter tone.

Robin: "We're all just turbed you're on the Team."

M'gann: "Thanks. Me, too."

The screen and a scientist in a white lab coat steps up to him with a chuckle. "Now, Brom, aren't you relieved I didn't let you wear the armor?"

'Brom' turns revealing he is the one the android inside the exo-suit was based on.

Brom: "Extremely, Professor," he admits shakily. "but you're not upset?"

???: "I'm convinced our tracking program was operational," this 'Professor' says, he's a taller, slightly tanner man than Brom, with black hair and a small mustache. "and that the real Tornado was somewhere in the vicinity. Besides you know science advances in fits and starts." Brom is still very tense. "Even failure can be instructive, and I'd say we learned quite a lot today."
___________________________________________

Inside Mount Justice, the Team is conversing with Red Tornado.

Kaldur: "It was clearly created to sabotage or destroy you."

Red Tornado: "Agreed."

Red Tornado says, looking over the pieces of the android and the computer readouts.

M'gann: "Is that why you wouldn't help us?"

Red Tornado: "No. This was your battle." Tornado says simply. "I do not believe it is my role to solve your problems for you. Nor should you solve mine for me."

Robin, Wally, Nathan, and Superboy all pause in their work thinking over what their supervisor said.

Robin: "But if you're in danger..."

Red Tornado: "Consider this matter closed."

Wally: "Batman, Aquaman, Flash, they'd all have jumped right in to fix things."

Wally comments as they all stand to watch him go further into the mountain.

Robin: "Guess if we're going to have a babysitter, a heartless machine is exactly what we need."

Wally: "Dude! Harsh."

Wally hisses but doesn't object to it in any other way.

Red Tornado: "And inaccurate." both boys stop dead. "I have a heart, carbon-steel alloy. I also have excellent hearing."

Wally's eyes clench closed and he frowns, just opening one eye to look at the Boy Wonder. A silent "help me!" gesture that he doesn't want Tornado to see.

Robin forces out a nervous chuckle as.

Robin: "Right. I'll strive to be... more accurate."

Nathan grabs Robin's shoulder and brings the Boy Wonder's attention to him.

Nathan: "And more respectful."

Red Tornado says nothing more as he walks away, but M'gann stands at the entrance of the hall as the four boys head to the dorm section of the Cave.

Wally: "Speedy was so wrong."

Nathan: "This Team thing..."

Kaldur: "Might just work out."

Superboy goes to follow but stops as he catches M'gann looking at him. He looks down with a small amount of concentration coming over his face before he looks back to her.

M'gann: "Sorry"

M'gann smiles softly.

The End
