Emancipation

chapter four

I STEPPED IN DOG PEE, EW EW EW EW EW.

Also, I love how Batman is all like 'Clark, you're being a dead beat dad to Superboy. Step the eff up.'

Anyways, I might start...straying from the actual episodes a little bit. Not much, the gist of the episode will remain the same and so will the overall outcome, but some parts will be different.

Mount Justice

August 05, 13:06 EDT

Kaldur and Wally were playing air hockey on a holographic table, Wally winning, while the other four watched.

Recognize Superboy B04

Superboy stormed in through the zeta tubes, walking right through the air hockey game and completely ignoring M'gann's greeting.

"Ahem. Ready for training everyone?"

"Black Canary! Uncle J'onn!" M'gann greeted excitedly, drawing everyone's attention to the two Justice Leaguers. She went up to Martian Manhunter and hugged him, talking with him for a few minutes about how she was adjusting.

Superboy went to leave but stopped when Black Canary spoke. "Stick around. Class is in session." She walked to the middle of the room and the ground lit up. "I consider it an honor to be your teacher. I will be showing you what I have learned from my own mentors and my own bruises."

"What happened?" Wanda gestured to the wrap on Black Canary's arm.

"The job. I'll need a sparring partner."

"Right here!" Pietro volunteered, walking into the middle. "And after this, I'll show you my moves." Wally rolled his eyes and Black Canary smirked, going to punch Pietro. Pietro dodged the punch but not the sweep of her leg, knocking him to the ground. The floor lit up, declaring Quicksilver's status as a fail. "Hurts so good."

"Good block. But did anyone see what he did wrong?" Canary helped him off the floor.

"Ooh, he hit on a teacher and got served?" Wally smirked at Pietro.

"Like you would've done better." Pietro snarked.

"He allowed me to dictate the terms-"

"Oh, please. With my powers the battle is always on my terms." Superboy scoffed. "I'm a living weapon. And this is a waste of my time."

Canary grinned. "Proof it." Wanda hissed for Pietro to get out of the way as Superboy made his way towards Canary. They both got into fighting stances before Superboy struck. Canary grabbed his arm and used his momentum to toss him to the ground, declaring him a fail. "You're angry, good. But don't react. Channel that anger-"

Superboy went to strike again but was struck down once more by Canary. He swiped her offered assistance away. "I'm done."

"Training is mandatory."

A screen lit up. "Batman to cave. Five hours ago a new menace attacked Green Arrow and Black Canary . The attacker was capable of studying then duplicating the powers and abilities of its opponents. Arrow called in reinforcements, which nearly proved disastrous, as our foe gained more and more power with each new combatant."

"Whoa, one guy with the powers of the entire League?" Wally gulped.

"In the end it took eight Leaguers four hours to defeat and dismantle the android."

"An android? Who made it, T.O. Morrow?" Robin inquired.

"Good guess, Robin, but Red Tornado doesn't think so."
