SuperCorp Chronicles

Chapter 84

Since Supergirl, Green Lantern, Blue Beetle, Powergirl and Wonder Girl were all preoccupied with the Danvers family dinner at Eliza and Jeremiah's house tonight, that left Martian Manhunter as the only Justice Leaguer left to lead the remainder of the Superfriends in protecting National City. Which was why he was leading Miss Martian and Dreamer in an operation to rescue people from a structurally unstable and ready to snap at any second bridge while Brainy ran comms.

"I know I said I wanted more field experience, but I thought that you'd start me off on something smaller." Dreamer said.

"In this business, it's go big or go home." Martian Manhunter said as Dreamer used her dream energy to pull some civilians to safety.

"The bridge isn't going to hold much longer and we don't have enough time to get everyone else off." Miss Martian said.

"Maybe I can help." A new voice said and Miss Martian sighed in relief when she turned and saw Superboy, wearing his own suit, which unlike Powergirl's was completely different from her mentor's aside from the red cape, Superboy's suit resembled his greatly, with a blue top with the red and yellow S on his chest, with black on the shoulders and black gloves, a black belt, red pants and black boots.

"What, no cape?" Miss Martian couldn't help but taunt her teammate and secret crush.

"Don't need one. Too tacky for me. But anyways, it looks like I got here just in time." Superboy said as he began using his own super speed to get people off the bridge even faster.

"Surprised you're the only one who came here? Where's your big bro?" Miss Martian asked, referring to Superman.

"Earthquake in the Andes. We had the situation under control, so he sent me. Especially since Jon's coming into his powers and Superman's busy training him at the Fortress." Superboy said and Miss Martian nodded as they continued the evacuation.

"Think you fix up the bridge?" Martian Manhunter asked Superboy.

"No, it's too far gone." Superboy said.

"xiF eht egdirb." a new voice said and suddenly Zatanna floated down on a mystic sigil and wearing her tuxedo gear as suddenly, the pieces of the bridge stopped falling and actually began putting itself back together.

"He might not be able to put the bridge back together, but I can." Zatanna said with a smirk as the bridge sealed itself up looking good as new.

"We really need to get you and your sister into the field here." Martian Manhunter said, since magic really did come in handy.

"Well, my big sis is busy at the same dinner that the rest of this team is at right now, but I was getting bored just binging Netflix all day and I wanted to get in on the action." Zatanna said.

"You keep this up, I'll put you up for a vote on the Watchtower myself." Martian Manhunter said with a grin, which Zatanna returned.

"What about us?" Miss Martian asked her uncle.

"No. Zatanna is a legal adult while you two are still teenagers. And Dreamer is not experienced enough." Martian Manhunter said.

"Well, I'd love to stick around, but ma and pa say that if I'm gonna live on the farm, I have to do all the chores that Superman left behind when he moved to Metropolis, so I'd better get going." Superboy said.

"So your big bro pawned his chores off on you?" Miss Martian asked with a chuckle.

"Actually, he comes out to help sometimes, but a farm boy has to earn his keep." Superboy said.

"Want some help?" Miss Martian asked before she could stop herself.

"Really?" Superboy asked, since the only reason he tolerated the chores is because his parents let him use his powers to get through his chores quickly, since just like they had with Clark, the chores were a good way to help him learn to control his powers.
