As two of the trucks make a right-hand exit, and one continues straight, Discharge, Superboy and Robin only follow the one remaining truck still on the highway.

Robin zooms in to be in front of Superboy and on his right while Discharge is on his left. "If dislike is the opposite of like, is disaster the opposite of aster? See, if things are going wrong, they go right." Superboy remains silent, ignoring Robin’s attempt at positivity and conversation. "Uh, clearly you're not feeling the aster. What’s wrong?"

"And I'm guessing it's not what happened at Metropolis." Discharge states.

"Canary." Superboy replies instantly. "And what business does she have teaching combat skills to a guy with Super-Strength?" he questions, mostly to himself, considering the fact that he looks away from the Boy Wonder.

"It's a part of job Supey, to teach us skills to help us with our powers and well… skills. We all need to help despite having Super-Strength." Discharge tells him simply before speeding up to the back of the truck.

"Taking down stronger guys is part of the gig. Like Discharge said." Robin states simply. "Canary learned that the hard way. Same with Batman and, well, me." he’s hesitant to include himself in the list, fearing what that could cause Superboy to do.

Though instead of snapping back or anything he revs his cycle and gets a lot closer to the back of the truck and a good five or six car lengths in front of Robin.

With Miss Martian, Aqualad, and Kid Flash

"Do you think Superboy’s okay?" she asks, driving on the left of Aqualad. Then quickly realizes how that may sound. "I– I wasn’t reading his mind, I swear but anger flowed off him in waves."

Kid Flash pulls onto her left, a sarcastic chuckle coming through. "Surfed that wave. Just give him space." That's actually sound advice, considering the fuse on that guy seems to be a record low, on a good day.

"Superboy just needs time to cool off." Aqualad states, turning the. "A quiet mission will clear his head." a cornfield they whiz past shakes, then green, grey, and black robot things fly out and after them. Completely passing them, latching right onto the truck.

Pressing the outside of his helmet, Aqualad opens up a comm channel. "Discharge, Robin, Superboy, our truck is under attack!"

"Yeahh uhh..we kind of figured." Discharge replies, looking to the monkey-robots latched onto their truck too.

"I hate monkeys." Superboy says angrily, his eyes zeroing in.

The monkeys are not only attacking the portion of the truck with the robot, but also the driver’s cabin. The truck swerves a little but remains to fair a straight enough drive.

"Oooohh robot monkeys." Discharge says with much excitement showing in her voice and gets serious as she drives to the side of the truck and goes to the watch around her wrist, she clicks the motorcycle icon and clicks autopilot. She stands on her motorcycle before leaping onto the top of the truck "Totally Ivo’s tweaked style." Robin says, hitting the small screen on his cycle to show his R. As it does, the motorcycle’s back wheel disengages, turning into a flying drone. Seeing that Superboy is leaning even further forward on his bike, Robin realizes what he plans to do. "Hey, hey. Switch your ride to Battle Mode."

"No point." Superboy says, before jumping off his and onto the truck.

Robin’s eyes widen as Superboy’s bike loses balance without a rider. "Or not." then stands on his handlebars and uses his grapple to make the distance between the two just as the two bikes collide. Once he’s securely on the back gate of the truck he kicks off one of the monkeys.
