“Well, Superboy and Krypto, let's get this crap over with while Robin finishes that guy off.” - Wally points out.
“But who would have thought all the poor copies of the original heroes would come,” says the man on the bleachers of the soccer field.
The others are fighting the robot, and even though there are more of them they are still having a hard time winning, this is a problem, plus the monkeys are guarding and protecting him, I can't get close to him, or maybe I can.
“Guys change of plans, I will help you, I have a new plan, and it goes perfectly with Superboy's”.
“Hahahahahahahaha that sounds interesting robin, let's attack with everything superboy.” indicates Wally.
P.O.V SUPERBOY.
Although I wanted in a way to solve it alone, it was very complicated, the robot surpassed me in many things and I needed to think more clearly.
Maybe in my past life, I wasn't so strong, but I managed to survive with my wits, I didn't get many things either, but I managed to cope with a life of loneliness.
Since I came here I have learned many things easily, apart from being stronger, I am also smarter, of course, I have the experience of my previous life. However, this is not worth much, but now, it is easier for me, I have managed to learn some things by reading books, I have learned to fight against enemies and I have learned from my companions.
Maybe the time has come to stop wanting to stand out, I must play smarter and channel my emotions.
Kid Flash dodges the robot's punches at high speed, while Krypto tries to hit the robot with his laser eyes, Robin takes on some robots. If only I could find the right moment, maybe I could... I know what to do:
“Hey robot, don't forget about me, it's my turn to play.”
I run towards him and slide underneath, as soon as I manage to position myself on his back I stand up, and although a fist of his tries to hit me in the face, I manage to dodge it by ducking and hitting him in the side, making him lose his balance.
He steps back a few steps, if kid flash or Krypto manages to hit him we can knock him down, and we will win, even for a second my ears manage to hear footsteps coming from the school building, although in the instant I don't pay so much attention since they must be Megan or Kaldur, or so I would like to think but an arrow flies directly to the robot's face.
“Change to Martian detective"- says the robot.
The arrow manages to pierce it without causing any damage, which is perfect and manages to give me the perfect opportunity, this is what we were waiting for, I don't waste time and in that small fraction of a second my fist manages to pierce the intangible head without causing any damage, but in a matter of seconds the robot returns to its solid state, leaving my fist stuck in its head, making it explode and stop working, a few seconds later the body falls to the ground without moving any limb.
“Quick, help me hold him down,” says Wally.
“I don't think that's necessary Kid Flash, he lost his head, he's not moving anymore.” - Robin says as he continues to fight some monkeys.
“He's right let's get this over with quick, I'm in the mood for some pizzas.” Says Wally looking at the short man controlling the robot monkeys.
“Kid Flash, focus, this isn't over yet.”
“superboy I didn't think you were that serious about pizzas"- Wally says to me.
Some monkeys are still attacking, we have to catch the creator, and if we work together we can do it.
If you spot this tale on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.
“Damn kids, I swear I'll kill them, but for now I won't let them get me so easily, my monkeys, finish them off!”.
A wave of flying robot monkeys attacks us, we manage to group and defeat as many as we can, the problem is that we can't advance and get to the robot creator, he's getting further and further away, and it's very complicated to follow him plus more and more robot monkeys are arriving.
After almost 15 minutes of fighting we managed to eliminate all the robot monkeys, it was noted that they were not as strong as those who threw lasers, but still, there were enough, they must have been“Yes Martian detective, although it didn't end up as well as I wanted it to, you managed to discover something”.
“no, that boy's mind is a complete mystery, I could barely read the movements he projected in his head to attack you, but nothing more than that” - indicates the Martian detective.
“we still don't know anything about him, his past and what they did with him in that laboratory is still a mystery”.
“canary, although we don't know who he is or what happened to him, he doesn't look like a bad guy to me, I can't read his mind, but from his face we can see that he lived difficult moments” - indicates the Martian detective.
“Are you justifying his way of acting and talking about Superman?”. An escape route that he had prepared.
Megan and Aqualad arrived a few minutes earlier, they helped with the last robot monkeys. Good thing the guys arrived earlier, if they hadn't, I might not be conscious right now.
“ The robot body is still here, we can still take it to the league.” - Robin indicates with enthusiasm in his voice.
“Don't trust Robin, we are going to try to disarm him"- says Kaldur always so calm.
“Yes...but first...I wanted to talk to you, I have closed myself too much to talk to you and I have concentrated on my training to be able to be on par with you, I have behaved like a child and I have made mistakes in the last missions, I will do my best to be better together with you.”
“ Don't worry superboy, the important thing is that we accomplished the mission, or well more or less, so let's keep working as a team, that's what we are here for don't you think?"- Robin tells me while stretching his hand towards me.
“Yes, you're right Robin, thank you.”
Our hands cross in a gesture of understanding and companionship, sincere and real, that I had never experienced before.
“So, we're all here, did you make the passes?” - Wally says to me as he gently punches me in the arm.
“ hey It still hurts, hahaha, but sure bro, we're all closer now.”
Mount Justice 1:06
“We understand that your mission encountered other complications, but complications come with the job, your ability to handle them has impressed the league"- batman speaks to us from the base monitor.
On the monitor are a few members of the league, mainly the mentors of each of my teammates, and Canary and Red Tornado are standing next to us.
“Thank you, Batman,” Robin replies.
“Did it impress the entire league?”
“Eventually yes superboy, Kryptonians are very hard-headed, there's no shame in asking for help, that's what the league exists for because there are problems we can't handle individually"- Batman explains.
“I didn't mean him, I was just curious what you meant by the whole league.”
“Superboy is right, if we needed help we would never ask for it, right green arrow, doesn't this arrow ring a bell, they were looking out for us, but they still don't trust us"- Wally points out.
That arrow... It was the one that was launched and allowed us to make the surprise attack to defeat the robot at the time, without it we probably would have lost, and some of us might not even be here.
“That's not my arrow kid Flash , we don't follow them.” - points to the green arrow
.
“...If that's not your arrow, then it was speedy.” - Kaldur says with a smile on his face.
“HAHAHAHA, he must be thinking of joining us!
I don't know exactly who Speedy is, I haven't seen any files related to him, but if he's that skilled with arrows I'm going to guess he's Green Arrow's apprentice, that would make sense from the reaction and expression Green Arrow had.
After finishing the call with the other members of the league, only Batman, canary, and Red Tornado are left, now all the guys are calmer, I guess Batman's compliments motivated them more, I know I still have a lot to learn, and that's why I will do my best to do my best, although that last look between Batman and Arrow says that something is not right.
Besides, I've already apologized to the rest of the team, I only have one person left to apologize to.
“Miss Canary... do you have a moment? ”
“What happened superboy, is there a problem? “Canary says to me as he turns to look at me.
“I apologize for my behavior...... I... I'm ready for training.”
“Don't worry, I was waiting for you...follow me"- Canary tells me.
“Batman and the robot creator?"- kaldur asks Batman.
Shit, I had forgotten about that guy for a moment.
“For now guys, it will be the league's priority to look for him, but for now rest"- answers Batman.
A breeze of relief hit everyone, and their smiles were plastered on everyone's faces, they all started to separate, and I figured they were going home.
“Hey superboy, when you're done there we'll be waiting for you to go out and have fun, we still have pizza left, make an effort before your part gets cold"- Wally shouts at me from far away.
An hour later
“It's not that he doesn't know how to fight, he does it well, he just lacks technique, he has strength, that's a big advantage”. - says Canario to Batman.
Not even fighting with that robot did I end up as exhausted as I am now, I underestimated Canario, he's incredible.
“If you keep training, maybe one day you'll become Superman,” Canario tells me.
“I'm not going to be like him, I'm going to surpass him, I'm going to show what I'm capable of, whatever it takes.”
“Hey kid, calm down, I didn't mean to put you like that.” - Canario tells me with a calmer tone.
“Let's call it a day, the guys are waiting for me.”
“Well, try to rest, see you soon for another training session.” - Canario finishes as I walk away from her.
Fuck, I hate to be compared to him, that man, his look, that smile, they're a cheat for everyone, they justify everything he does just because he's the strongest of them all. Since the first day I met him, since that day his look haunts me, his words make my blood boil.
P.O.V. CANARY
“Did you finish your training?"- asks the Martian detective.
“Yes Martian detective, although it didn't end up as well as I wanted it to, you managed to discover something”.
“no, that boy's mind is a complete mystery, I could barely read the movements he projected in his head to attack you, but nothing more than that” - indicates the Martian detective.
“we still don't know anything about him, his past and what they did with him in that laboratory is still a mystery”.
“canary, although we don't know who he is or what happened to him, he doesn't look like a bad guy to me, I can't read his mind, but from his face we can see that he lived difficult moments” - indicates the Martian detective.
“Are you justifying his way of acting and talking about Superman?”.
