3. ⛰Welcome to Happy Harbor⛰ (Part 1)

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

Then narrows his eyes as he aims for Speedy.

The Arrow-themed protogé dives right grabbing onto 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 explode in Brick’s hand, even shredding his suit.

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

He yells even more angry at the Arrow-themed 18-year-old.

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 water-bearers. 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:For covert missions

Robin says dropping down behind Speedy.

Robin:You know, spy stuff

Kid Flash runs up the crates and lands just shy of the edge with inverted half.

K.F:And wait till you see Superboy, Doomsday and Miss Martian, Supergirl and Powergirl but I saw them first!

K.F says referring to the girls in the group thinking he actually has a chance

The gas wasn’t enough to take out Brick, which is made clear as he lets loose another war cry and throw 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.

Brick:Tell Arrow he shouldn’t send boys to do a man’s job

Speedy nocks another arrow taking aim. Brick stands tall his arms out wide.

Brick:Go ahead

Speedy grinds his teeth as he shoots this arrow. Which hits and for a moment nothing happens, then foam releases from the capsule stuck to Brick and traps him in it.

Kid Flash skids to a stop crouched under Speedy’s aim, just in case.

K.F:High-density polyurethane foam. Nice

Speedy turns and walks away, but in order to fully get out of the docks, he needs to walk past Robin and Aqualad. Who stand on either side of two crates that create a path that will lead right out of the docks, if you know the way.

Robin:So, Speedy, you in?

Speedy:Pass

The oldest says strongly but does pause to give them the answer.

Speedy:I'm done letting Arrow and the League tell me what to do. I don't need a babysitter or a clubhouse to hang out with the other kids. Your Junior Justice League is a joke..not to mention you have a walking nuke with you..that Sean guy might be human but just remember he was in Cadmus..he could kill everyone in the Justice League and we would be powerless to stop him

Aqualad stops leaning against the crate.

Speedy:Plus it's something to keep you busy and in your place

Speedy growls looking right to Robin before walking off

Speedy:I don't want any part of it

All three can only watch as their oldest friend, and the one the three of them look up to not only turns it down but insults it as well. Then they turn to each other with shocked expressions.

-Mount Justice-

Sean punches another car as he jumps up in the air and smashes it he then grabs it and rips it apart like its nothing he holds up the 2 pieces and tosses them aside with the other pile of shredded cars

Kara:How many more cars are you going to tear through?

"As much as I can..luckily these don't really matter"

Kara:That's a lie and you know it

Sean turns around as he looks back at Kara

"Why are you here? If your here to ask me something then go ahead and ask it"

Kara:Why are you being so..distant towards everyone?

Sean stomps on another car as his eyes glow red he takes a deep breath calming down
