Are you sure that's 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," Red Tornado's robotic voice interrupts us over the comms.

"Received. Adjusting course," M'gann acknowledged.

"Tornado's keeping us busy again," Robin scoffed.

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

"I think I know the cause," you say slowly, looking out the window.

M'gann lands the bioship and almost immediately me and Robin share a look. The moment we're off the bioship he goes one way and I go the other. I run straight into the building from opposite sides, Robin heads for the guy causing the trouble straight on. I climb onto the rafters.

"Unh!" Robin groans as he was knocked into a wall.

I take the opportunity to jump down from my place up top and land directly on the guy's back. The click of the pen turns into a sword and I aim for his arm. Instead, he flung me off and I landed on my back right next to Robin with a painful groan of my own.

"Who's your new friend?" Superboy grunts as the rest of the team ran in.

"Didn't catch his name," I state sarcastically, leaning up on my elbows.

"But he plays kinda rough," Robin adds before Superboy charges the dude.

"My apologies. You may address me as Mr. Twister," He says, using his ability to blow Superboy into a wall behind us.

Rob and I got back up on our feet, he was clutching his side and I had a hand on my back. Wally pulled his goggles on and took off towards Mr. Twister, all of us in tow.

Twister knocked Wally out of the building and then pushed both Aqualad and M'gann back, leaving me and Robin. He was standing right in front of me as Twister once again focused on the two of us.

"I was prepared to be challenged by a superhero. I was not, however, expecting children," Mr. Twister sneered.

I smirk as I crept up under Robin's jacket grabbing two exploding batarangs from the utility belt. I felt Robin slightly stiffened at my touch but he's always done that.

"We're not children!" I objected, launching one of the exploding batarangs as a diversion and then the other, which landed squarely in his chest.

"Objectively, you are," He states, flicking the bomb from his chest. "Have you no adult supervision? I find your presence here quite disturbing."

"Well, we hate to see you disturbed," I shout back, not ready to give in yet.

"Let's see if you're more turbed once we kick your can!" Robin vowed.

"Turbed?" I whispered to myself before dodging some debris that M'gann brought down on top of Mr. Twister.

Superboy attacked from the top and I moved to attack from the bottom. Superboy got knocked away first and I followed soon after, this time landing awkwardly on my ankle, causing the pain to spread.

"Seriously? I cannot go again breaking this thing!" I sigh.

"Indeed. That was quite turbing. Thank you," I heard Mr. Twister muse before exiting the building.

Wally charged after him next but I let out a pitiful groan as I rolled onto my stomach, pausing to take a breath before pushing myself back up.

"I got you, Wally," M'gann promised once she had telekinetically caught him with her powers.
