Serenity (Discontinued)

3: Welcome to Happy Harbor

i wrote this chapter early in the morning out of pure boredom just to get the creative flow active

-

In the cover of the night, two people are unloading a truck. As they remove the first long, flat, container an arrow drops between the two of them. Red fletching showing off and the nock blinks bright red before releasing gas. The two stumble and the container goes flying, popping open to reveal a high-tech gun. Which slides to the feet of one of their associates. He takes aim, the barrel gaining three red streaks. He looks at the construction set up over his head, finally zeroing in on Speedy, who seems to have fully ditched the hat.

Brick: You again! 

Brick yells at the teenager, his anger being apparent. 

Brick: I'm starting to get insulted Green Arrow's not messing up my operation personally. 

He then narrows his eyes as he aims for Speedy.

Roy dives right grabbing onto the next support column, just barely staying in front of the shots. As Brick shoots at the bridge that he nearly grabbed he drops down one level and runs across that bridge instead. Brick shoots just in front of the young man, who changes his momentum so he flips as he nocks an arrow and releases it. Shooting it right down the barrel, causing it to explode in Brick's hand, leaving him physically unharmed even though it shreds his suit.

Brick: Do you know what I pay for a suit in my size?! 

He yells again, being even more angry than last time at him. He turns to his men.

Brick: Scorch the Earth, boys. 

The other four raise their guns to do just that, but a blur comes through and two of them are suddenly left weaponless. The other two turn towards where the blur ran off to, only for their guns to be knocked out of their hands. Robin swings into an opening in the crates with his happy cackle. Bring their attention right to Aqualad.

The Atlantean drops down with his water-bears turning into whips which hit the smugglers in full force. Knocking them into the back of the truck and to the ground, unconscious.

Brick lifts a chunk of concrete and throws it at Speedy who is also using the crates to his advantage as he waits to strike with his already nocked arrow. He comes to a stop, bracing himself in a downward diagonal with his foot on one of the crates as he launches an arrow that explodes as it hits Brick's massive shoulder. It doesn't stop the metahuman from throwing another piece of concrete at Speedy. However, this time Speedy jumps out of the way, nocking another arrow as Aqualad jumps where Speedy was with a mace and sword formed from his WaterBearers. Chopping the concrete in two. Giving Speedy the opening to hit Brick with a gas arrow.

Speedy walks to the slightly out of breath Aqualad as he releases the magic that lets his water-bearers take shape. 

Aqualad: The cave is perfect. It has everything the Team will need. 

The Atlantean tells the older hero.

Robin: Yeah. For covert missions.

 Robin says dropping down behind Speedy. 

Robin: And you know, spy stuff.

Kid Flash runs up the crates and lands just shy of the edge, 

Kid Flash: "And wait till you see Superboy, Miss Martian, and our new space wizard friends. But I saw Kihu first.

The gas wasn't enough to take out Brick, which is made clear as he lets loose another war cry and throws another piece of concrete at the four conversing teenagers. Speedy, Robin, and Kid Flash all dive out of the way, but Aqualad remains firm. Taking out the concrete with twin maces. Speedy uses two arrows that stick to Brick's chest and release three spurts of flame to knock him back. Though the villain just chuckles.
