3: "Because you're not a Green Lantern."

"Green Lantern B-0, Robin B-01, Kid Flash B-03," a female voice could be heard from the zeta beams as the three heroes appeared.

"Did you ask him?" Robin asks as he runs forward with the other two close behind.

"What did he say?" Cyra yelled as she shoved Kid Flash out of her way as he kept bumping into her as she ran.

"He's arriving now," Aqualad said with a gentle smile, amused at the three sidekicks.

"Well then, what are we waiting for?" Kid Flash yelled as he sprints at normal speed for a non-speedster as Cyra decides to power up, leaving out her green costume as her civvies emitted a green color as she flew after Kid Flash.

Cyra beat Kid Flash outside, mostly because he wasn't using his superspeed, but still. They get outside, the others behind as Red Tornado lands in front of the team, the tornado around him breaking up as the robot lands.

"Red Tornado!" Kid Flash and the Green Lantern yell at the same time, ignoring each other.

"Greetings. Is there a reason you intercepted be outside of the Cave?" RT's robotic voice asked, empty of emotion. But Cyra couldn't help but think he was being curious.

"We hoped you had a mission for us," Aqualad said politely before Cyra could speak.

"Mission assignments are the Batman's responsibility," Red Tornado responded.

"But it's been over a week and nothing—" Robin was cut off by Tornado's curt, "You'll be tested soon enough. For the time being, simply enjoy each other's company."

"I already saw Kid Mouth burp the alphabet backward, I am not really enjoying the company," Cyra said with a raised eyebrow under her aviators.

Kid Flash grinned at her as he leaned towards her ear, which was covered by her blonde hair and let out a burp. Cyra jumped from the sudden noise and air on her ear as she pushed the laughing ginger away from her as he clenched his stomach. "You're horrible."

"Horribly in love," Kid Idiot shot back.

Cyra glared as Aqualad turned from the bickering teens to Red Tornado. "This team is not a social club."

"No, but I am told that social interaction is an important team-bui0lding exercise. Perhaps you can keep busy by familiarizing yourself with the Cave," With that extremely unhelpful advice, Tornado flew inside, leaving the sidekicks outside.

"Keep busy," Kid Flash quotes with his fingers in a bitter voice.

"Does he think we're falling for this?" Robin throws his arms out in outrage.

Miss Martian says excitedly, trying to help, "Ooh ooh, I'll find out!"

The rest of us watch as MM turns to Red Tornado as he flies away and seems to focus on him. She lets out a sigh before she says, "I'm sorry. I forgot he is a machine, I can't read his mind."

"It's fine—" Cyra tried to assure the Martian but was cut off by Kid Mouth, who seemed to be trying to be more annoying than usual.

"You know what I'm thinking right now?" Kid Flash asked the green-skinned girl with a flirtatious smirk as he leaned towards her.

"We all know what you're thinking," Robin said as he crossed his arms.

Cyra glared at Kid Flash for cutting her off, thumping him on the back of the head in revenge. He yelped as he rubbed the back of his head.
