Going Blue

Anger All Around

Two weeks after Santa Prisca and my talk with Superman, Superboy decided he was tired of waiting and went to Metropolis on his own. I had tried to talk him down but he's a kryptonian all right.

To pass the time after formation training we played some air hockey. Wally was generally kicking butt with this game, and I was drawing in my notebook while watching them.

"Oh, yet another win. Can any of you actually give me a challenge?" He bragged after winning against M'gann.

Robin smirked as he looked at me and I realized what he was going to do just a little too late. "Why don't you let Lantern give it a go?"

"Oh," Wally turned to me, "you think you can beat the Wall-Man? Bring it little girl."

I looked at him then turned to Robin, "for the record I know what you two did."

"Did it work?" They both asked.

"Yes."

"How?! How are you doing this?!" Wally complained. I had just finished absolutely destroying him in air hockey for the fifth time in a row.

"Don't hate the player hate the game, 'Wall-Man'," I teased.

I decided to let Aqualad have another turn and went back to my drawings when I heard Wally say, "you didn't tell me she was that good at air hockey," to Rob.

"I-I didn't know. I mean I knew she was good at this stuff but not that good," he responded.

At that moment the Zeta-tube fired up.

M'gann smiled at him as he walked up to the holo-table. "Hi Superboy, how was Metropolis?"

He crossed his arms, "honestly? Better than I expected. I guess that talk sunk in a little."

I smirked, "I'll try to not let that give me a big head SB."

"Good, because I'm not saying that again. And I will deny saying it in the first place."

Black Canary and Martian Manhunter decided to make their presences known right then. "Ready for training everyone?"

"You know it Aunt Dinah," I answered while M'gann went to her uncle.

"Good, because class is in session." She walked to the center of the room and the floor lit up underneath her signifying the start of the program. "I consider it an honor to be your teacher. I'll throw a lot at you; everything I learned from my own mentors," she winced as she removed her jacket showing off the bandages wrapping her upper arm, "and my own bruises."

"What happened?" M'gann asked, concerned.

"The job," Canary answered as I walked up to her and placed my hand on her injury to try and heal her. I was able to speed up her natural healing process considerably but it was by no means a complete recovery. "Thank you. That helps a lot." I returned to the group as she continued, "now, combat is about controlling conflict, putting the battle on your terms. You should always be acting never reacting. I'll need a sparring partner."

Wally immediately raised his hand, "right here! Yeah." He walked up to Canary as he finished his banana. "And after this," tossing the peel into a nearby garbage can he said, "swish, I'll show you my moves."

I gagged at the terrible flirting. Does he even realize that she's been dating Green Arrow for three years now? I even heard him talking to Hal about proposing last month.
