Into the Breach

Banshee's knee bounced anxiously. He had just gotten word from Siren that they had a lead on Violet. He hoped that they would be able to find her. Or he hoped that his team would be able to find her if they couldn't.

"Luck? That's all you're gonna say?"

Banshee turned to Vic. He was looking back at Beast Boy who was finishing up a text.

The Outsiders' leader frowned. "How did you-" Then he realized who he was talking to. "Oh. Never mind."

He pocketed his phone, turning to the rest of his squad. "Miss Martian and the team are following their lead, we'll follow ours."

"And what is our lead? Why are we here exactly?" Kid Flash questioned from the front of the Bio-Ship. Everyone else who could make it was taking up the rest of the space, making for a packed ship.

"Didn't the team search Granny's studio already?" he added, looking out at the set of buildings below.

Banshee's frown deepened as he looked too. Since he was no longer a part of the team, it sucked that he wasn't able to help with the initial searches. Even more so, it pissed him off that his friends and former teammates had inadvertently received backlash since Granny had gone on the air to voice how upset she was that metas were raiding her places 'after all she had done for them.'

Hearing that made him want to barf. Or land a solid punch to good ol' Granny's face after what she did to Siren and Nightwing.

Rather than explain himself, Beast Boy turned to their newest friend. "Vic?"

Vic sighed. "Okay, for a while now, I've been struggling to figure out the full extent of my cyber-abilities..." he began. "It all started when I intercepted a text from Violet to Brion."

"You hacked his phone?" Wonder Girl said incredulously.

"Uh, no. The cybernetic part of my brain just intercepted the text," Vic corrected. "Things like that would happen at random. I- I couldn't control it. And back then"–he scoffed–"I didn't want to. But after my recent Mobius-Tech infusion, I kinda got a handle on this...'gift'.

"I can reach out with my mind to anything on the web or the cloud or, well, anything electronic, really," he revealed. "That's how I sensed Motherbox was in danger at Granny's house. So ever since Tara told us Granny took Violet, I've been searching any and everything related to Gretchen Goode, Granny Goodness, or Goode World Studios."

Blue Beetle spoke up. "How's that different from what Oracle's been doing?" he asked, his arms crossed in contemplation.

"It's not...and it is?"

Banshee raised an eyebrow. "Elaborate."

"Oracle travels the information superhighway; I...become the highway itself," Vic said as if that made everything suddenly make sense.

"Okay, Mister Highway," El Dorado drawled, "what did you find out?"

Vic's brow furrowed. "Uh, let me see if I can show you."

He hesitated for a split second before he opened his palm and a projection appeared in front of him. Oh.

"Oh-kay...since when can you do that?" Wonder Girl asked skeptically.

Vic sighed. "First time," he said, before speaking in a mutter, "Doing a lot of stuff for the first time these days. Anyway, I jacked into the studio's proprietary network, and found this."
