Young Justice

Independence Day II

"Help! Get us out!" One of two scientists trapped on the second story call out.

"Stay calm, we will get you out." The fireman calls back using a megaphone.

An explosion goes off behind them and the force of it pushes the two out the window. Kid Flash zooms onto the scene, running up the wall getting both to the roof, but he's not fast enough to get there himself. He falls and manges to catch himself on the second story window ledge that the two scientists just fell from. It's what's-his-name, Flashboy!" The same firefighter yells, both glad to see him and proud at himself for seemingly getting it right.

"Kid Flash!" The speedster yells down. "Why is that so hard?" He wonders to himself

Robin and Aqualad finally arrive. "So smooth." The Boy Wonder says smugly.

"Does he always have to run ahead?" Aqualad murmurs, partially to himself and partially to Robin. "We need a plan. We-" he looks to talk to the younger boy, but finds the space beside him now empty. "Robin?" He looks around everywhere.

Robin's laugh echoes through the area, before he flips onto the back of the fire truck secured his grappling hook to the Tower Ladder and swinging onto the window ledge.
Landing with perfect balance, before helping Kid Flash up and into the building.

Aqualad runs up behind the truck, coming to the two men working the hose. "I need to borrow that." He tells them before they see him. Pulling out his Water-bearers, which causes his tattoos to glow, before they begin to redirect the flow of water. Creating a platform underneath his feet. He gets to the roof. "Step aboard Now." He tells the two scientists sternly.

They do without hesitation, but stumble until they both sit down. He steps onto the window ledge that the other two entered through then directs the water the rest of the way down. Ensuring that both scientists are safe.

As he jumps in, Kid Flash is going through file cabinets, while Robin is hacking the computer.

"Appreciate the help." He says sarcastically.

"You handled it." Robin says, still looking rather smug. "Besides we're here to investigate." Aqualad steps beyond the two, heading further into the building. "Poetic justice, remember?" As Aqualad steps beyond the desks, there is long hallway, with an elevator door closing. The only thing visible is the blue skin and ivory horn protruding from it's head.

The clang of the doors meets draws the attention of the other two. Bringing them right behind Aqualad. "There was something in the-" he cuts himself off, still not entirely sure of what he's seen.

"Elevators should be locked down." Kid Flash says, standing straight.

Robin grabs his elbow and shoulder before moving past him without a word, then slipping right of Aqualad. Coming to the area of the elevator, looking at with scrutiny. "This is wrong." He pulls up a holoscreen on his gauntlet. Giving him the specs of a Sliver Slip Express Elevator. Which is exactly what's in front of them. "This is a high-speed express elevator. It doesn't belong in a two-story building."

"Neither does what I saw." Aqualad states gravely, before forcing the doors open. As his strength is no longer need at full capacity he looks down the elevator shaft, which seems to go on forever.

Robin ducks under his arm, Keeling down to try and get a better look. "And that's why they need an express elevator." Then he stands, shooting his grappling hook into the top of the column. Once it sticks he jumps, letting himself fall. Aqualad and Kid Flash follow with almost no hesitance.

Robin watches as the level numbers run past him. Eyes widening as he pass SL22, SL23, SL34, and beginning to slow at SL25. Then he comes to a stop at SL26. "I'm at the end of the rope." He tells the two above him. They stop sliding down and let Robin jump to the narrow platform with this level's elevator doors. He makes it with ease, then moves left so Aqualad could make it. He does, then remains where he is and offers his hand to Kid Flash, who takes it and stands one the large segment of the platform with Aqualad. The Boy Wonder pulls up the system security. "Bypassing security." He waits as his five little Robin heads go from red to green. "There. Go."
