Metropolis; August 3rd; 21:18 EDT

Bibbo's Diner

"Apple pie." Clark Kent says to the waiter, as a fellow raven sits across from him, his face obscured as he holds the menu high to his face.

"The Devil's Food." Bruce Wayne orders, handing the menu back with a smile.

"Something tells me this isn't about desert." Clark decides, his tone hesitant.

"The boy needs you." Bruce tells the bespeckled man before him.

"No." Clark snaps back instantly. "He needs you. He needs Red." though his tone shakes slightly, and he decides to look out the window rather than at Bruce. "I'm just a constant reminder of what he's not."

"Sorry, Clark, but you're dead wrong." that catches the author's attention. "Look, I know he troubles you, but he's here." he stumbles slightly, but returns strongly for the next sentence, hoping to solidify his reasoning. "You have to get over the how and why." Clark glares out the window. "Trust me on this. This boy needs his father." his eyes narrow, daring Clark to deny what he's saying.

Clark dares. "I'm not his father!" he shouts, standing up, fear and confusion cover any anger there might be in those words. He turns to the cook, placing his fedora on his head. "I'll take that apple pie to go." he walks to the register and pays, leaving Bruce to skulk in solitude.

Gotham City; August 3rd; 21:21 EDT

The monkeys with the parts fly towards a moving train, the car's side doors open. By more monkeys to allow them to fly in, the second group right behind them. Then the doors slide shut.

Superboy bounds amazing distances, landing on the same car the monkeys went in. Tightening his hand, he jabs it into the roof, creating a tear that easily rips wider with his super-strength. Superboy sees no immediate danger and jumps in.

Behind him, just outside the shadows are the now-open boxes of the Amazo parts.

He hears the monkeys chatter before him. Looking up, shrouded in the green glow of his monkeys is an aging ginger man with a white button-down, black slacks, and a black vest typing away on his computer.

Taking his time, and entirely calm, the man looks up. "Oh, hello." he greets.

"You? You're Ivo?" Superboy scoffs. "I'm whelmed."

"You're one to talk." Ivo counters, turning away from his computer, resting his elbow on his fist, and placing his hand on his chin. "Since when does the big blue boy scout have a brat?"

"He doesn't." Superboy snaps, narrowing his eyes.

"Eh, well, if you say so." Ivo brushes off shrugging. "Have you met my Mobile Optimal Neural Quotient Infiltrators?" he gestures to the dozen-plus monkey MONQIs around him. To which they take off and launch themselves at Superboy.

He responds with a cross, taking out one, into a back fist, taking out a second then finding one right where the other just was jabs to destroy it. On his right, he turns with a back first to destroy another, managing a 180° rotation. Finishing the rotation and destroying the final MONQI with another back fist. Knocking the head right back at Ivo.

"Ah. And after all the trouble I went through finding an acronym for MONQI." Ivo grumbles as Superboy continues to destroy the small robots. Turning back to his computer.

Grabbing two Superboy smashes them together in front of him, completely obliterating them. Though he's panting.

Something moves in the background. "Access: Captain Atom." Superboy's eyes widen just before he's hit in the chest with a yellow ray. Which knocks him completely off his feet and into the crates behind him.

Just after hitting the ground, he looks up, to see Ivo standing before him. "Since Professor Ivo's magnificent MONQIs don't float your boat" behind a pair of red eyes begin to shine from the shadows. "maybe my amazing Amazo will better suit you or better slay you." Ivo finishes darkly as the massive android stands tall. Just like from the clip Batman showed them during the debrief.

The train comes around tight corners to stay close to the mountains.

Superboy wipes the back of his hand over his mouth, standing with his hands clenched. "Give me your best shot."

The MONQIs laugh behind Ivo.

"Please, my Android has the strength of Superman." Ivo states simply. Superboy's eyes widen slightly. "What chance do you have?"

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

Superboy's response is to charge at Amazo with a battle cry and a punch, which is blocked easily by the android, hitting just as his hand is still an open palm rather than in a fist. Undeterred Superboy continues to unleash a flurry of punches until he finally lands one on the android's face. The neck follows the movement that would've broken it on a human, reverting back in a moment. As Superboy goes for another punch Amazo catches it with his bare hand.

"Oh, sorry. Did that strike a nerve?" Ivo questions, calmly. "Amazo, strike a few more." he commands.

Amazo does, nailing an uppercut under Superboy's to knock him into the inside of the roof, then he falls into one of the boxes they were defending, shattering it on impact. Amazo watches him intently as he stands back up, slowly. Then falling into a relaxed fighting stance.

"Access: Black Canary." Amazo dictates, his jaw unhinging to drop wide open before releasing a Canary Cry.

The Cry not only causes him immense pain but also physically knocks him into the far wall of the train car, then to the ground. Superboy stumbles back to his feet anyway.

"Access: Flash." Amazo dictates, running at Superboy with speeds even he can't match, but that doesn't mean he can't see them.

His eyes widen mere moments before the hook punch hits him in the face. Landing, and giving Amazo the opening to unleash a high-speed flurry of punches that when finished leaves Superboy falling back.

Landing with a crash Ivo's mockery comes through. "Oh. No wonder Daddy keeps you hidden away." Superboy turns his head to Ivo instantly, though not having the strength to stand- yet. "You're not really doing justice to the old S shield, are you?" finishing off with a wheezy laugh.

That was all Superboy needed, that one more push to get him back on his feet. Coming with a cross to Amazo's face with a cry.

Just before it reaches Amazo dictates. "Martian Manhunter." turning intangible and letting the punch go right through him. As the force pulls him through, Amazo does a jab to the lower ribs.

Superboy turns back, confused. Just in time for Amazo to land a solid cross that knocks him through the back wall of the train, into the mountainside and into the blade of the bulldozer, then to the flatbed car's surface.

Amazo front handsprings right before him. Dictating "Access: Superman." grabbing Superboy's shoulders and holding him over the edge of not only the train but the mountain as well. Holding him with one arm he punches him back, over the fields and into the high stories of a building on the edge of the city, a school judging by the number of desks he crashed through.

Amazo and Ivo can see the smoke, the android turning to its creator. Ivo shrugs. "Finish him. Priority Alpha."

Taking the command Amazo jumps off the train car and towards where he sees the smoke.

Amazo and Ivo can see the smoke, the android turning to its creator. Ivo shrugs. "Finish him. Priority Alpha."

Taking the command Amazo jumps off the train car and towards where he sees the smoke.

Robin, now in uniform, pushes his bike to the limits. Flying past a sign telling him he has finally reached the Gotham City limits. He hears Kid Flash before he sees him, he too is now sporting the brightly colored spandex. "So, you changed too?" he teases, though he has no room to talk since he went as far as to put his mask on under his helmet.

"You kidding?" Kid Flash questions back, then makes a noise of disgust that would be accompanied by a shiver if he wasn't running at super speeds. "I feel naked in civvies. You still tracking the parts?" he changes the topic of conversation.

"They were heading through Gotham, but they veered," Robin informs, looking down at the virtual map on his motorcycle. A red cone represents the target: Subject Amazo. The location finally appears in the bottom right-hand corner.

Gotham Academy

Distance to Target: 26.5 mi.

Wait! Dude, they're at my school!" he gasps.

Superboy gets hit and thrown back into the trophy display case, destroying the glass and a few of the pictures and trophies inside. Falling to the floor, now cut up and blood beading from the glass as Amazo stands over him. Then grabs him by the shirt, whirling his upper body independently to throw Superboy down the hall and into some lockers.

One of which pops open to reveal a fangirl picture of Superman. Anger overcomes Superboy as he punches the locker door.

Going in for another hook, that Amazo blocks with ease and counters with an uppercut to the face. Sending him through the concrete walls of a science lab. Then into the far wall and to the ground. Amazo flying right behind him to stand over him as he hits then doesn't get up for a moment.

Forcing his hand under his left shoulder Superboy looks to Amazo. "That..." he pants heavily "all you got?" he finishes angrily taunting the robot.

"Access: Captain Atom." Amazo dictates, holding out one hand that begins to glow bright yellow. Putting Superboy through the floor, then high up through the wall of the gymnasium. He crashes just shy of midcourt, bouncing over midcourt and skidding to stop in the lane. Not too far from the hoop.

A singular clap catches his attention. On the bleachers Amazo is clapping slowly, backed by two MONQIs. "I don't usually attend these things in person" one of the MONQIs chuckles and so does he. "but this was too good to miss."

On the court, Amazo dictates "Access: Superman."

Superboy sighs, stopping on his knees but gets to his feet. Charging at Amazo with a hook punch that actually lands on the robot's face. Though Amazo retaliates with a back first to Superboy's face. Now that he's off-balance the android sticks close, hitting him again in the chest, which causes Superboy to collapse in on himself by pure reflex. Taking the opportunity, Amazo strikes his stomach with his knee, hard enough to force Superboy into a small rotation.

The superpowered teen can do nothing but barely stay on his feet and be Amazo's personal punching bag. Amazo catches the bottom of Superboy's chin with the back of his hand, completing the rotation and causing him to stagger back more. Now that he's facing the robot again, he gets a high front kick that snaps his head back, leaving him open for another back fist to the face. Hitting him hard enough that Superboy to fall to the ground.

Standing over Superboy, Amazo brings up both fists, ready for the killing blow. When Kid Flash zooms in grabbing Superboy before the strike can land. Announcing it to Superboy with a "Yoink." before grabbing him, just in case the fight rattled his brains.

The two skid to a stop beside Robin, all three now by the gym doors and just right of the bleachers opposite Ivo.

Robin launches a disk at Amazo. "Martian Manhunter." the android dictates, just before the disk would have hit, now passing through his intangible body. Blowing up behind the android harmlessly. "Access: Red Tornado." a red tornado forms under its feet, moving towards the three teenaged boys.

As they're hit, Kid Flash is thrown back into the nearby wall, while Robin and Superboy rush in the opposite direction. Robin and Kid Flash give out a cry of surprise as they're snatched by the wind currents.

Superboy hits the bleachers, while Robin hits the outside edge of the court then skids to the be in front of the bottom bleacher.

Kid Flash hitting the wall with a thud, knocking the air out of him, and then the floor a good four or five feet below him with another painful thud. Struggling to get to one knee, he looks up to find Amazo before him.

"Access: Captain Atom." the android dictates, nearly zapping Kid, who's now fully alert once more and running under the bleachers to avoid being hit. Though the explosion from it hitting the wall does knock him off balance, before using his speed to run to the other side of the bleachers and back around the front.

Amazo turns. "Access: Black Canary." it states, aiming the pulsating wave of sound to the ground just before Kid Flash, which he can't avoid and runs into. Getting thrown back and his ears ringing from the pitch. Rolling twice, then skidding under the backboard of the opposite hoop. His hands falling away from his ears as he skids on his stomach. "Superman." Amazo dictates.

Just as Superboy's punch comes within range and he catches it once again with an open hand. Nailing a hard cross at Superboy's face to send him back into the bleachers just Robin gets to his feet.

"Martian Manhunter." Amazo says, elongating his arm and destroying the two disks Robin just now decided to throw at him. Who dodges right just in time.

Attempting to catch him off-guard Kid Flash runs at Amazo, who turns and uses his large hands to easily grasp Kid Flash's upper arms. "Superman." Amazo says, grabbing the ginger in a bone-crushing hug

A bowstring snaps, catching Aamzo's attention, even with Kid Flash's cry of pain.

"Martian Manhunter." Amazo dictates, turning intangible through the arrow, but dropping Kid in the process.

The green-fletched arrow sticking itself clean in the ground just right of Robin's right foot. His eyes widen as he takes in the color of the arrow.

Kid Flash runs away before he gets caught again. From behind Superboy charges out of the broken section of the bleacher.

"Access: Black Canary." Amazo dictates, using the same move she used when training with Superboy earlier that day. Throwing him across the room. Superboy crashing high into the opposite bleachers.

A red Batarang like shape whizzes past Amazo's head. The source is Robin. "Superman." Amazo says, his eyes glowing red. Just before the lasers would've hit Kid Flash pulls Robin out of the way. Kid Flash hitting his back first, then again on his side before they come to a stop.

Breathing heavily Superboy makes his way out of the rubble. Looking first to Ivo, then Amazo who is looking to a still downed Robin and Kid Flash. Clenching his eyes shut then sighing does he opens his eyes. "Access: Black Canary." he dictates, quiet enough for one can hear.

Ivo yawns dramatically, which is what prevents him from hearing Superboy. "Oh, yawn." he drawls, feeling the need to enunciate that, then continue still sounding bored. "Normally Amazo would study and mimic your abilities during battle, but what's the point?" waving his hand before looking at his fingernail beds. "You're all such poor copies of the originals."

The monkeys laugh, Superboy's mouth opens for a moment, then closes as he smiles. "So everyone keeps saying." Superboy states, his anger coming back onto his face and flowing through his words. "It makes me angry!" he yells, jumping over Amazo and aiming his double downward fists for Ivo.

The professor manages a squeak before getting out of the way, just before Superboy would've hit his face. Though the power of the hit knocks him off balance and with a wimpy yelp falls down a row of bleachers.

Superboy's attention is dead-set on the villainous creator of Amazo. "Want to see me channel that anger?" he shouts, stirring Robin and Kid Flash.

Both now free to move slowly to aggravate anything since Amazo's back is turned.

Kid Flash's eyes widen. "Great. He's gone ballistic again."

Robin smiles. "Maybe not." getting Kid Flash to turn to him with confusion as he smirks.

"Amazo, protect your master. Priority Alpha." Ivo commands, diving further down the bleachers to avoid getting crushed by Superboy.

"Captain Atom." Amazo dictates, pointing a hand in Superboy's direction. Hitting Superboy once more, sending him flying back. As the MONQIs help Ivo back to his feet.

"Anyone want to play keep-away?" Robin questions, before kicking Ivo in the back and sending him pitching forward since his feet weren't on the ground.

Amazo's attention turns to Robin.

"Oh, oh, me, me!" Kid Flash yells, running on the other side of Amazo and catching its attention.

"Access: Superman." the android says just as Kid Flash gets in front of him. Lifting his left foot and stomping it to catch underneath Kid Flash's last step towards Ivo. Sending the speedster up and high into the bleachers, upside down.

Robin stands from a crouch, throwing a disk (I keep writing dick.) at Amazo's head.

Reacting Amazo dictates. "Martian Manhunter." turning intangible, just as he does Superboy jumps down and aiming a punch at Amazo. "Superman." the android dictates. Though he turns tangible just as Superboy's hand goes through his head. His face begins to spark and zap blue electricity before exploding and knocking Superboy back.

The headless body falls flat to the ground with a clanging thud.

Robin runs up to the body. "Help me disassemble him now!" Though out of the three, he's in the best shape, Kid being unsteady on his feet and Superboy not even being back on his yet.

Holding his left arm Kid is the first to comment. "Dude, the guy has no head." his lack of high-speed helping because at this point it seems entirely irrelevant.

"Don't take any chances." Aqualad decides, as he and Miss Martian and Yn enter. Both heading in their direction quickly.

M'gann lands beside Superboy to steady him if necessary. "Superboy, are you alright?" she questions, noting the amount of damage done to his skin.

Superboy smiles. "Fine." he assures, then looks to Robin. "Feeling the aster." Robin smiles right back.

"Hey." Kid Flash says, gaining their attention. "Where's Ivo?" around them the gym is still smoking in some places from the battle, but Ivo is nowhere to be seen.

Yn senses if ivo around but doesn't since him

Yn:gone he's not near the school

Mount Justice; August 4th; 1:06 EDT

The Team stands before Black Canary, Martian Manhunter, Red Tornado, Batman, and Green Arrow, recounting the status of the mission.

"The Amazo android is in again safely being analyzed at the two separate STAR Labs but Ivo escaped, and since he originated the tech, he's arguably more dangerous than the Android." Aqualad informs.

"Capturing the professor will be a League priority." Canary informs.

"But we understand that your mission encountered other complications." Martian Manhunter states, crossing his arms. Aqualad, Robin, and Kid Flash glare at Superboy, who has the decency to look away.

Batman decides to step up. "Complications come with the job. Your ability to handle them has impressed the League."

"The whole League?" Superboy asks, knowing the answer.

"Given time, yes." Batman assures instantly. "Kryptonians, as you know, have very hard heads." Superboy can't stop the small smile. "Of course, there's no shame in asking for help. That's why the League exists. Because there's some problems even we can't handle individually."

"Please." Robin draws. "If we needed help, we'd never get the chance to ask." Kid Flash closes his eyes, knowing exactly what he means. Robin pulls out the arrow. "Look familiar?" he lets Batman take it from him. "You were following us." he accuses "Babysitting! You still don't trust us!"

Ignoring Robin's accusations, Batman passes the arrow to Green Arrow

Green arrow:"We didn't follow you."

Green Arrow pulls an arrow out of his own quiver, holding them side by side. The tip and shaft are noticeably different than the one Robin handed over.

Robin's eyes widen. "And that's not your arrow..." Looking between the two again and smiling. "But that means-"

Kid Flash, smiling brightly, cuts off the Boy Wonder. "Speedy!"

"He has our backs." Aqualad agrees.

Yn:I don't it was speedy arrows his arrows are the same as green arrow arrows

Kid Flash runs and takes the arrow from Green Arrow

Kid flash:"Souvenir!"

Batman and Green Arrow share a look, but don't comment.

Superboy clears his throat and steps up to Black Canary. Catching her slightly off-guard as she turns to him curiously. "I'm ready."

"Good. Because I'm here." Black Canary assures, placing her hand on her hip as she looks him in the eye.

Yn:see I told you he will come around
