?: Final Exam

Note this happens before or after the recent Vegeta posts.


So this is it. The team has had their first couple of missions, and I've taught them everything I know. They drifted apart, and are now back together, because of the TX. It's odd that I like every one of them. When we first started I could really only stand Cassandra.

Batgirl has grown into a role she was unused to but has done well. I was afraid Vincent would ,and Vella would be psychotic like their father, Turns out neither one of them are, makes me wonder if Vegeta really is.


Spoiler has proved she can get better if she has a mentor that actually gives her a chance. She does better if your more fair with her than Batman is willing to be.

Iron boy is more heroic than this other self.

And Inertia is a punk, but he seems to want to stick with the others. Now is the time to see if they can work without mentors. Gohan is dead set against this. But it's time I think and the perfect opportunity to test them has come up.

Solomon Grundy has wandered into West City and decided to go all "Grundy Smash!" on the city.


We watched as they fought. The zombie decided it had a crush on Vella. Probably because of the Green Lantern power is similar to Jade's. It chased after her. "Pretty girl no run away!"


Spoiler throws explosives and starts talking to distract the monster. "Why is it evrreyone one always gets the hots for you, and Batghoul? Is it the exotic Orient or something? "


Vella uses the distraction to hit Grundy with a Giant green fly swatter. "In this case it's not flattering. And I'm not Asian; I'm well I guess I'm Eursaiyan."

Spoiler then throws the wrong Capsule at Grundy hitting him with motorcycle that is destroyed when it hits him " Aww man! I just got that thing painted. Vella I wish your mom has labled these Capsules. "

Vincent goes afterThe Super zombie head foirst.. With Cassandra yelling “No! Wait for .. Iron Boy!"

"Bah! I don't need Stark! "They go inside a building. There are some booming sounds and The collapses but not before Vincent is tossed out like a rag doll.

Cassandra glares. " I told.. you wait."

Grundy breaks his way out of the rubble. "Solomon Grundy hate bats!"

" And you.. hurt my boy so your not .. My favorite.. Person either. Besides you smell funny."

She dodges his punch and throws one back wearing those adamntium gloves. It rocks him but he catches her. Spoiler jumps on a car in front of them. "Hey let my BFF go ."

She sprays Solomon in the eyes with Pepper Spray the two girls jump out of the way while Inertia throws rocks at him with his super speed. Then Iron boy slams into Grundy. "Never fear Iron Lad is here!"

"Iron Lad?" Vincent asks.

"Yeah someone said it was cuter so I changed it."

" Okaaay really hoping this someone was girl."

“Oh yeah. But I don't think I'm her type." He blasts the Repulsor rays underneath Grundy blasting him into the air.

Batgirl points. " Now... Vincent Vella work together."

“Fine. Vel can you still use ki or are you just dependent on your Cracker Jack prize?"

"Shut up Vincent."

They both fire a Final Flash yelling "Double Final Flash. "

" When he falls down Inertia..."

" I got it Coup De Gras." He runs I guess the kid runs around the world several times before Solomon falls. The hits with the mass he gained by getting near the speed of light. "

Grundy falls knocked out. " Well Gohan. I'd say they passed. They knocked down Grundy, and only one building for a casualty." I state.

"Yeah but I've been denying it." Gohan sighs. "Well I guess we have to leave now since they can do this themselves now."

"Yes they fall or stand by themselves. But if you still want to do good I have and invitation to another team , the boss just wanted to be sure, these kids were ready first. He has an interest in making sure two of them are safe."

Gohan shakes his head. No. A university has offered me a teaching position I jut have to retire Saiyaman I guess it's time for me to put away childish things. But if you need another team member I have someone for you."

Later in Gotham City.

I can't believe this man is Gohan's father. He acts like twelve year old. "So how do you see outta that mask. That is a mask isn't it? I mean you don't really have no face do you? So who's our Boss ?"

"That is the Question and here is the answer."

Then he does something that will not impress The boss he shouted " Woah! Batman!"

But before Batman can respond Richard runs in dressed in his old Robin costume disgusting. I mean a 20 something year old man in tiny shorts yuck! I've seen too much of my old friend for my comfort.


West City Mall.

Batgirl stares at Vella and Spoiler. " But I don't need shoes... I have shoes."

" One Cass "Stephanie says. " You never have enough shoes and two those old sneakers aren't going to go well with your dress for the dance. "

" No.. High heels I hate high heels. And I .. have shoes. Shoes that are um not hurting. "

" Ugh! Vella you talk to her."

Vella smiles. "Hey, This is more fun than being at the arcade woith the guys."

" I .. must not know what the word.. fun means. "Cassandra shakes her head. " What did.. Richard want?"

" I don't know he never showed up. Something to do with Jason I think. "

Spoiler makes a gagging noise. "Jason Ugh! What do you see in him? What is it with you saiyans and the aggressive guys?"

"I'm not um aggressive.." Cassandra interrupts. "But Vincent likes.. me."

"That's because you can cripple people with your pinky Cass." Stephanie rolls her eyes.

Vella chirps "So how did the date with Robin go?"

" I have no complaints. Gwen stay with Aunt Cass, I'm going to try this top on, and stay away from whatever Vella is building there. "

Hey it won't hurt anybody." Vella Protests.

" I would like to believe you. But after you fixed my hair dryer it tried to kill me so stay away from it Gwen. "

Stephanie goes ito the dressing room. And someone starts knocking before she can change someone knocks on the door. "Will you wait your turn?" The knock starts again. “Okay fine! What's so important?" She opens the door, And finds..





"What a pretty little girl you are."

"Eep."

Inertia: An old Girlfriend.

My head was buzzin' after the drinkin' lucky for me my metabolism is super fast. But still ugh! I had no idea where I was when I woke up. But for some reason it was hot real hot.

" Wake up Thaddie. "

Thaddie? " Deborah?" I look up to this.

" The name's Sungirl traitor!"

" Hey yer the on that used my name. " I protest.

" Okay Inertia! She sneers. Why Shouldn't I kill you now?" Then she tries a sun blast and I dodge it. " You got your speed back without the drug."

" Yeah. Don't ask me how So I don't need Slade anymore, though from the smell of his cheap ass cologne all over ya you've found a use for him." Slade gettin' my sloppy seconds. Disturbin'."

" At least he isn't trying to play hero!" She accuses.


" Actually he had a hero phase as well. But ya know somethin'? Heroes Villains They're just labels for people to put on costumes and fight each other, Don't matter which side your on. the good guys are delusional, and the bad guys are stupid."


She glares. " And you think your better than everyone else still. When really your just as bad as the rest of us, I've heard the rumours about your obsession for the alien skank. She has a tail for grife's sake!"

" Heh. If she had an animal head,ya might have a point. But every thing else is all humanoid believe me."

Then she laughs at me. " Seems she has a powerless crime fighter fetish I hear she's messing around with Red Hood."


I shrug " Better than one eyed old merc fetish. What do ya want anyway?"

She gives me a million dollar smile. " I want you to go back to your true nature. Slade has a plan against your little hero buddies and he needs the blonde. If you can get her here, the Villain community will welcome you back. I'll welcome you back personally."

I grin. " Okay wait at the ol' park out here. I'll bring her. I ran to the house got the girl, and ran to the park Weird I don't remember all these grape vines and ugly naked people here yesterday, wait was that a Centaur? I must be losin' it.

Sungirl looks at who I brought, and shouts "Not her!"


" What?" I sneer. " She is blonde. Now."




" Aww!" Vella States. " A supervillian you shouldn't have! Though we're still not going out."

She blasts Sungirl with the ring , and I watch as the babes fight it out. Wish I had Jello. Finally Sungirl blinds Vella in the eyes and escapes But not before yelling " You'll pay for this Thadeus!"

" Yeah yeah the check is in the mail baby."

Vella stares at me. " She was your girlfriend?"

" Yup."

"And Titans East not the one that all got killed the bad ones they were your team."

" Uh-Huh."

She keeps looking. " And you betrayed her easily."

I shrug. " Not really. I get where your goin' But you guys are my crew now I'm not gonna sale you out."

I keep lookin' around for the Centaur I know I ain't losin' it.

" Okay." Vella looks unconvinced. " Well For some reason Nightwing wants to see me ... So."

"Man he likes 'em young now." I laugh.

" Bra made the same joke then she started sounding all weird saying if it wouldn't mess up her marriage she'd have an affair with him. My sister is a perv."

" What do ya expect from someone named Bra? Well We know one thing Slade is after Violet."

" Um you mean Spoiler. Who's Violet?"

" Nothin'. Never mind see ya later. " After she flies off I zip around the park to see if I can find the Centaur. Nope more ugly people wildin'. Yuck I'm outta here.

Meanwhile.. The centaur watches Inertia leave. " I think the fleet footed one saw me, Master. "


" It matters not my servant though they have powers of demigods now they are still mortals, and what fools these mortals be."

Spoiler: I am not dating Superboy!

Yeah I danced with Kon at that party nothing happened. And whoever started that whipped cream rumor is gonna get a serious beating from me . ( I'm guessing Connor Hawke.)

Look The whole time Kon kept talking about how Tim liked me but It really didn't seem so I mean he keeps hiding from me during Thanksgiving. Which blew by the way.


Oh and Vella getting a disturbing crush on Jason" I keep heads in duffel bags." Todd. I tried to tell her all the stuff he's done and how he's one step away from being a Batman rouge. I think that got her excited. Some girls. Gah. I guess it's a good thing Vel is nearly invincible.

Oh and I yelled at Vincent for doing his little post on me and Kon. Would I like to date Kon though? Well I dunno. I mean he's involved with a scary amazon Demi goddess, and even though Tim is probably getting booty from that Pirate Girl I still...

" Steph?" I'm jarred from my thoughts a that moment.

" What is it Batghoul?" I ask my friend who popped up I didn't even hear her breathe I wish she'd quit sneaking up on me.

" Am I stupid?"

" No wait WTF? Why would you even get that idea?"

" People have said I'm uh stupid for dating Vincent." She sighs.

" Who are these people and why should you care what they think?" I ask.

"There was um.. a few people that call say.. I'm dumb for dating... what's an anime?"

I sigh. " A Japanese Cartoon. And Vegeta just happens to look like one with that big hair. That and a lot of his fights were in Japan, And I think they made a comic about it or something. "


She thinks it over " Mega-Girl ... Said Vincent.. and his parents have .. um giant eyes.... "

"Cass I have no idea what she's talking about Vince's eyes look normal it's the hair and tail that's a little weird. That and the whole giant monkey full moon thing. Has she ever seen Vincent? And also who the heck is Mega-Girl? It may be because of my vacation from the land of the living but I've never heard of her before. "

She shrugs. " I don't know... I just met.. her at the HU party.. and she said Vincent.. was weird looking.. I should be.. with someone else. "

" Like who? And if you say me I'm gonna scream because the whole slash fic crap is really gettin' on my nerves."

She stares confused. " Slash.. fic?"

" Nothing you need to know about Cass I wish I didn't truthfully. Now who does she think you should be with?"


She sighs. " Anyone but Vincent. "

" And what do you think?" I ask.

" I.. Like him.. He's funny and can fight. He doesn't call.. me a freak or evil... I think I love him.. It's a new feeling..."

" And he loves you right?"

She blushes . " Yes. "

" Are you happy?" I question.

" I think.. so yes." She smiles.

" Then tell anyone that tells you something against your own feelings to screw themselves. It's not any one's business what you do, or who you date. "

" well she seems happy now. though now she's asking me what "screw themselves mean. " Sigh. Damn you David Cain for messing her up.

Vella : first date.

Hmph. You know Dad can be such a jerk sometimes. He keeps trying to get Rayan to go back to wherever he came from. Well whatever the guy's ignoring me any way. So I guess it's no biggie.

I do still have Talon's number so why not? That and hanging around the Team house is boring, No one's here. Everyone else is off with their families at Thanksgiving., And mine is annoying. Iron Boy is off somewhere with Iron Man likely Sad about Sky or something.

Meanwhile in Madripoor..

Iron Man: " So Anthony is this great or what?"

Iron Boy: "Hell yeah!"

Iron Man:" So as I was saying.. You really shouldn't be taking orders from some ninja girl who can barely talk. Your an Avenger for god's sake. You should be giving orders, Not taking them."


Iron Boy: " Interesting.. you could have a point there Tony..."


Vella.

So I know Steph is going to be mad at me for dating this Robin rip off guy, but hey he's pretty cool took me to a nice restaurant. Man I don't like the clothes Bra gave me to dress in for the date. Too tight and not enough of them.I think the guy was surprised i ate so much . I thought he knew I wasn't completely human.

Was a little next was was a movie. I don't know why But I think the romantic ones are boring, Bra and Mom love them but I fell a sleep during it.Well he walked me home When this weird guy from Saiyan Island popped up.


Some old man tried to get me to marry his son a while back though Dad didn't like that idea. I didn't either. He's ugly smells bad, and an only say " I like girls."

He knocked poor Talon across Ross the street, All that Bat well in his case Owl gear could have saved him could have saved him I guess. But I stopped him from hitting the ground and cushioned his impact with some ki energy.

I then punched " I like girls guy. " through a wall.

He sort of stumbles out bleeding then he flies away. Bah! Stupid non super saiyan.Talon stares at my left hand. " Your ring your not wearing it. "

I shrug. " Yeah . I'm off the clock as Trunks puts it. So I uh didn't bring it.Why?"

" You have super strength? " Talon asks.

" Uh yeah. I'm half saiyan. " I explian.

" I have to go bye." He runs off weird is that how dates are supposed to end? Huh. If so I don't see how people get together. I go back to the Legacy house and fund Inertia drinking. A lot.


" What are you doin' here." He slurs. " Why don't you and your little niece lie about me sum more?"


I smelled the beer stuff , he had and drank it it's gross. Why would anyone drink this stuff? Yuck I'm staying with lemonade. So why are you drinking huh?"

" Celebreatin' Bart's death. Now I can r- replace the Allen line with the Thawnes like was mission in the first place. "


" Hm. This isn't celebrating drinking is it? Let me guess you miss Bart huh? he was like the closet thing you had to family. you know something? Cass told me that neither you or Justice was lying about your date. So how's that hmm? I think you both feel guilty about dating before Bart went into the ground and you both made up something bad that didn't happen because I know neither one of you can drive."


" All those aliens in her messed up the She-Bat's body reading ability. Thats' all. 'Least everyone knows I ain't lyin' or some kind of Dr.. Light rapist wanna be."

I hug him and it's okay until he his hand goes a little too low. " No Thadeus!" I complain, But then I realize the poor guy just passed out. I leave him on the couch.

I find Vincent to see what's he's up too. He's in the Gardens at the Wayne place. Making out with Cassandra. So I'm about to leave the two alone when some hand grabs on to my shoulder.

I elbow him in the gut and turn and woah! he's cute. " Who are you?" Why are spying on my little sister and her boyfriend? " He commands.


" I was bored and her boyfriend is my brother. I was just wanting to see if he wanted to play a video game or spar or something. When I saw he was kissing Cass I was going to leave Mr. Rude Guy. "

I hope he doesn't notice how I 'm looking at him . " Huh, So your a saiyan too. That explains why your elbow broke through my body armor. What's your name huh?"


" Vella. " I giggle.

" That's a weird name."

I growl" Yeah and what's your name Dark Robin? "


He grins " Call me Jason."

Wow. I wonder if Vincent can get me invited here for Thanksgiving?

Ironboy: Captured again.

I fought with Sky. But I couldn't stop her. Some blonde chick attacked Black Widow. She looked familiar , but I didn't want to think about it.
I had to stop the Protector Terminator Unit from killing Sky. Good thing Vic was already knocked out and didn't see it.

I was trying to get her to escape when a green light crushes into her.

" Alright Bad robot mutant thing. It's time for you to pay for your crimes. " Great Space Cadet Vella and her little magic ring. I get in between the two.

" Sky! Get out of here now!"

Vella gives me that saiyan I'm going to rip your heart out look. " Anthony You just let her go! You had better decide which side your on boy!"

"I'm on your side Vella. But Sky did all that because of me. Besides all the people were brought back."

" Not the point, we gave her a chance and she turned out to be evil, That's all she is. All she'll ever be. "

" Your drinking the Vic Sage Kool-aid!" I accuse. " he's paranoid about everyone and and everything! "

She does that smirk thing that actually looks kinda cute on her. " It's not paranoia if they are really out to get you Anthony. "

I shake my head. " What are you doing out here?"

" I was following a filament, out here with my ring, I was thinking it was Bruce Cain."



" Talk about irredeemable. " I sneer.

" He is not!" Vella yells. " Besides he's a living breathing being. Not a cyborg that's programmed to kill."

" No he just chooses to do it. " I spit.

" Are you going to help me find him or not?"

" Sure but you and the others have to help me with Sky."

" Fool's errand." She mutters. " But okay."

Her ring leads up to Black Widow's house, and a weird confrontation , a blonde version of Black Widow, Natasha, on the ground bleeding that Vendetta woman and Bruce Cain.

Vella's ring gores crazy " Earth 3 Black Widow, Bruce Cain and unknown .. From the future of this Universe. "


Vendetta laughs at the Evil Widow. " Look little alternate universe chick I don't care what you do here, unless you want to get in the way of me and the woman that murdered me. "

Earth Three Widow Shrugs. " Do as you will. "

Vendetta grins. " You and me are gonna have so much fun Widow.I'll pay you back for every despicable thing you've done to me. A hundred fold Bitch!"

Vella yells " Whoever you are Widow wouldn't do what your accusing her of!"

Vendetta laughs. " Poor Poor Vella, you don't know the truth about lil' Natasha do you? As a kid she was sent to kill Wolverine her "uncle" And if it wasn't for his healing factor she would have succeeded. She used Hawkeye, tried to make him betray the country, then she betrayed hers. She just kept stabbing people in the back until finally she killed me and Fury you know what she said to me? Love is an illusion, survival is everything."


Bruce stares at us. " Aunt Vella, you can leave but Iron Lad. Surrender to me Or I'll tear you to shreds."

" That's Ironboy!" I tell him.

" Haven't changed that clunky name yet huh? " Bruce answers. " Whatever you call yourself. You can come with me on your feet or I can drag you either way."

I blast him with a repulsor he dodges out of the way and comes after me Vella zaps him with her ring and the two end up fighting. Armor grows around Vella's body But she can't seem to keep up with the older saiyan.

I slam into him from the back and when he turns blast him with the repulsors.

I notice something he's not anticipating my moves like he does Vella. Of course if he's Batgirl's kid he would have the same body language thing.The problem is he throws something at me from his belt and it attaches to my armor and tries to bore it's way in.

My security system burns whatever they are off. Next thing I know an Arrow splats on my armor and starts burning off." Poor Stark wannabe you're melting your melting!" Laughs Vendetta.


" Ugh! Acid Arrow! What are you? Arrowette's Future Self?"

" Wrong two more guesses Slag Lad!"

The way your laughing... " Harley Quin's daughter?" I blast at her and the girl is quick with a gymnast's grace she hops over it . " Wrong again! I'll never tell!"

Meanwhile Vella figures out what I did about Bruce. " Well nephew. You can read everything I do before I do it. But you can't read this!" a green hand Smashes Bruce from her Ring.

Next she drops a cartoon weight thing that says 1'000 tons on The evil saiyan's head. Meanwhile my armor keeps melting. I Grapple with Vendetta, and Pull off her mask. " Oh My God! Stephanie?!"




Her eyes grow cold. " Wrong, loser. "

Vella is staring like me. And Bruce laughs. Not really a laugh of humor. " You' think I'd sleep with mom's best friend? You guys are sick "

" Oh No." Vella gapes "That means your..."

" Yup. Auwnt Vewwa." Vendetta glares before Bruce blasts Vella knocking her through several houses. " Hey! Bruce your not supposed to kill her!" Vendetta shouts.


I get angry and run towards, Bruce. " You son of a bitch! You murdered her!"

My armor is melted off too. So I'm just normal, The saiyan grabs me. And throws me down on the ground. " Looks like you get to be a damsel in distress again. What are these bullet wounds?"

He pokes his finger in the wound I got shot by the Monitor. As I scream I see no emotion in his eyes.And Vella was talking about Sky being evil.

" Bruce? " Vendetta. Stares " We weren't supposed to kill Vella. "

" Ha! My aunt isn't dead. " Cain smirks. " For a saiyan a blast like that is but a love tap." He glares at me. " So you still have feelings for my aunt huh?"

" What? No!" I protest.

" Body language doesn't lie my friend. " His damned emotionless eyes bore into me." Let me give you some advice, she likes bad boys not trust fund babies in an armored suit. "

" What about Black Widow Brucie?" Vendetta purrs into his ear. "

" You can do whatever you want with her dear. As for you Junior ." He flicks his finger in my face. I black out. When I come to. I see this man.







"Hello. My name is David Cain. And you'll be the the guest of the League of Assassins. And if you try to escape, or anyone tries a rescue. Then I'll kill you. "

Huh? Wha?

The team looks like it's been falling apart. Me and Batgirl went to save Bruce Cain. Vincent is all pissy since Bruce made his existence known, and is looking for him.

Who knows where Iron Boy and Question are ? Last I heard from Stark Jr, he said he was going to make TX pay. Not sure if he got cleared of the charges against him or not. Vella is off with Hal Jordan, learning how to use her ring, and hanging out with that Justice girl. I don't even want to know what Inertia is up to. Well I've been busy with Gwen ( Who decided this morning to wear her cereal.) home work , and teaching Cass to dance.

It's so weird to teach her something for a change, when she's usually teaching me to fight. In the middle of it, Kon and the Devil boy come in .

" Woah! I knew you two were an item!" Conner shouts. Nice guy but he seems to only think with lil' Superboy.

I roll my eyes. "Yes you came in right before we were about shower together, and have a pillow fight in our underwear."

Cass tugs on my cape. " Um.. I love Vincent.. And um.. How would we um.. you don't have a ... "

" Cass. Don't worry about it. I'm just messing with these two's tiny boy minds."


Then Kon Smirks. " You know Cass if your curious I have some DVDs... "

" Conner!" I shout. " What do you want?"

" Oh HS said we need to get the body of this ghost dude that's been haunting me, Cass' Ex Zero."

" He's.. at Bludhaven.. With all the others... I couldn't save them.. I left to find my mother. .. " And then she sulks off into her cave.

" Nice Conner. Now you've upset her." I shake my head.

He grins. " I see why Tim likes ya."

They fly off I guess to Bludhaven. Well this gives me some time to finish some of my piling up home work.

I finally get done with some calculus.When someone knocks on the door. I open it And It's Connor Hawke. " Please no. Cassandra is not in the mood for stupid."

" Actually . I'm here to see you." He states.

" Um.. What?"

" Yeah. I've given up on Cassie Cain, I keep getting my butt handed to me by someone with a tail, and funny hair. No I was wanting to know if you'd like to go out sometime?"

I keep just keep staring with my mouth open. He continues. " Well since you and Robin are finished, I thought..."

I blink a couple of times. " Um... "

" Okay , you don't know do you well It' s been all over the Internet for months now."

" What has? " I question.

he takes a lap top out of his quiver, and shows me this.


Oh no.. I mean I suspected.. And I was dead for a while.. but to actually see it. Oh man. I needed to sit down.

Hawke just looked at me. " Sorry. I thought you knew. Well I'll ask again later. Bye. "


I think I need some ice cream.

?: Escape from the Negative Zone

I've been planning to break out Anthony Stark from the beginning of this. Then "Sky" decided to kill people and and whine on national TV. And what's worse is stupid reporters , and activists are trying to spin this into some kind of love story. And Cassandra is blaming herself for all these deaths.


No one is to blame , Not even Fury Or Tony Stark, But TX herself. My contact in SHIELD Gabrielle Jones. told me " Fury's gone nuts Q.he put the kid away with dangerous nuts cases all of them have a thing against Iron Man. Since he can't get The TX he'll get what he can."


" Well. The TX being insane to begin with. With her multiple personality disorder and all. I should have expected a reaction like this A is always A."

" Well I'll get you in to the Negative Zone prison Q, but afterward your on your own. "

" Nothing else is new, I just hope this insanity doesn't elect Stark, Especially since he's going on the tough on bad guys platform. "

" We both know that's load of bull, be careful Question."

" If I was careful I wouldn't be doing this ."

I was dressed as an ordinary janitor and get in easily going to the Negative Zone through the portal sucks. I threw up after going to the other side. Ugh.

After breaking into the ventilation system and rigging it I knock out one of the food service workers, and taking his suit I hide a gas mask and a note in Anthony's food. After looking him over I see the bad guys really did a number.

" Sage where's everyone else?"

" Please stop using my alias." I scold. I push the button on my belt and let the binary gas flow over me and stick my mask to my face. " Now let's get out of here!"

We run towards the portal and are stopped my mandroids , or every superheroes' favorite punching bag. Lucky for me Gabe gave me a remote that screw these things up. They started dancing, after I pushed the button.

But a bunch of normal guards block or escape. Looks like we are going to have fight our way out." Tell me Anthony how well can you fight outside the armor?"

" Not very good at all." he admits.

" That's just wonderful." I mutter and start to attack. After knocking out three or four they start to overwhelm me well if I'm going down they are going to know they were in a fight.

Then someone pulls them off of me . She fights like a tiger and I recognize my old enemy/ally from Hub City , Shiva.

" I find you in such strange places Victor."


"And you Shiva? What are you doing here?"

" I was hired for security here. But I find it boring. i saw your battle with these people and decided to join in. You owe me one Victor.. And i think i can think of a way, You can pay me back we can both enjoy."


Iron Boy stares at us. Then it dawns on him "EEEEW! Your macking on Cass' mom!"

Kids. And "macking" you can tell this kid has been frozen for a couple of years. And if anyone is doing so it would be her. Not that I mind. I grab him by his collar and throw him through the portal " Let's go Captain Tact."

Shiva follows and lucky for me I don't vomit again. We escape the building after beating up some more guards. I had borrowed a capsule ship from Vella that I kept in my pocket. After making it full size we fly away from the scene instead of going to The Team Legacy house we go to my rat hole apartment in West City.


While starting to build a new armor Stark stares at my I believe poster with an alien on it. " You really don't think any of this stuff is true do you?"


" Your little friend the cigarette smoking man is part of a conspiracy with aliens that goes back to Roswell. And besides two of your teammates father is an alien And one of them uses an alien power ring Superman is from the planet Krypton, need I go on?"

" No that's ok."

Shiva leaves saying I can "repay " her later.
good I take a tape out of news broadcasts from the last day. " Anthony. There's something you should see."

I let him see all the results of Sky's rampage.

Mean while I find that a lot of her army has been hurt and she was crippled by a resurrected Mirai. Also all those that died were restored . Damn they are using Dragon balls again. Idiots.

Though she escaped the battle.

The young Stark stares at the walls. " She did this because of me."


" No." I sternly tell him " She did that because that's what her nature is. A Is always A. And Sky Started out a death dealing robot, She will always be a death dealing robot. She cannot change what she is. No one can blame you for what she did. The only one to blame for actions is her. "

Anthony gets a determined look on his face. " When do we make up for our mistake of not killing that bitch? "

" Soon enough ." I smile.

Batgirl: I will. ...not let my son die

I've been watching.. Vampirella, after Bruce stole the body of .. Mirai. I um Followed her to her mansion. She took out some rock. and mumbled .. Saiyan Killer. And um earlier.. she was yelling at Crime Alley.. that she was going to drink his blood. ..

I can't let... her kill .. my son. He's trying.. to do a good thing.. and His.. Aunt summons a demon to .. Kill him. He has to .. Um know good things get rewarded, and because I know he can be good... But not if he's dead.

I went back.. to my cave, And got some stuff ready.. and got some help.

Then finally. I find Vampirella, again... seems she went.. somewhere. I jump down in front of her I'm not wearing.. My uh. costume. Just normal clothes.

" Vampirella. I um want to ask a favor. I...trained you. You leave my son alone ."


" He's going to do something to my Husband! " She yells.

" He's trying.. to help Mi... M.... Mur... Mirai... Not hurt him. " I try to explain. " He.. knows no one will trust him. Which is why he did things .. the way he did."

She hisses. " You know where he is!"

" Yes. "

" Tell me now!" Her teeth get all sharp.

I stand up to her. " No.. you'll get your husband .. back alive .. soon . He saved Justice three times, he killed those.. things coming after her."

She keeps growling. " He tricked you Cassandra. What your son did isn't for good or to help people. "


I look.. her in the eye. " He.. can't lie to me.. No one can. He has done bad.. things.. but he can change I can help.. and his father.. can too. "
"

" Maybe I should try wiping out his existence by killing you?" That hurt.... Vampi.. I thought she was my friend.. but her body.. language said she's talking from pain. This.. sucks. I don't want to hurt her.. and she wants to kill me. And she's already stronger.. and faster than me.

Her claws go for my.. um face, I dodge them... And kick her.. in the side.

It stuns.. her..I throw some Batarangs. .. Bruce told me she gets weak when she bleeds. She stumbles a bit but still catches me and goes for my .. neck.
I grab the rock... off of her. And throw it on the the ground.

She tries to grab it when... it's blasted.. by an um... ray.

I smile.. at my best friend.. who was holding the um .. ray gun. In a different.. costume..


" Your plans have been Spoiled Vampi! heh heh! ! " She laughs. " Bulma said this thing destroys everything molecules and all. So there ain't no rock left to go around killing saiyans before they are born."

While she is ... um looking at Steph.. I head butt her getting her to let me go, and I leap up the top of the building. Steph waves.. " Byieeeee!"

As we swing.. To the where I kept our Motorcyles. to go meet Bruce. I ask. " The costume?"

" Ah. in case someone took pictures. I didn't want anyone knowing Spoiler was fighting with Vampirella, Team Legacy has had enough bad press. I gotta go to school so I couldn't have done this as Stephanie Brown either. Why are we fighting other good guys, and protecting bad guys so much lately Cass?"

" My son isn't a... a bad Guy!" I ... um shout.

" Hey Batghoul! Don't rip my head off ok ! It's just with Anthony's love bot, and us fighting SHIELD, and now you protecting a kid you haven't even given birth to yet. "


"If .. it was Gwen.. Would you do any less?"

" You've got a point. "

We take the bikes somewhere outside West City up the hills to where Bruce is .. is Staying with the League Of Assassins. .. I hate that he's leading them. " A bunch of them attack us. I beat .. them down fast.

" What did I tell you idiots?! Do not attack my mother!"

" But One Who is All she betrayed us!" They.. used to call me that... makes me sick to hear them call... him .. that.. bad name.

" And she raised me. protected me, trained me, and cared for me. " He puts his hand up Energy comes from it. " And you will not harm her!"

" Bruce No!" I order.

" As you wish Mother. But you will apologise to her! DO IT!"

The ninjas All .. do as he says.

" Bruce.. how is.."


" Don't strain yourself Mom. Mirai's body is prepared to be dipped into the Lazarus Pit. Now after that you need to activate his sword, by hitting it on the ground, then you have to give it to him. His soul should rejoin his body."


" How do you know this?" Steph asks.

" Because. We did this when Black Zero kills Mirai in the future. Though he wasn't dead this long.. but a week shouldn't matter much if we let him go for a year, we'd get a zombie. So the sooner he's dipped the better. Any other questions?"

" Yeah. who knew that a combo of Vincent and Cassandra would be so hot?"

His body language.. gets uncomfortable. " Thank you for the nightmare fuel Aunt Stephanie. OK Mom. Aunt Steph you'd better stand back. Mirai is going to be crazy for a few minutes. I don't want either of you hurt. "



He puts the body in. After .. a few minutes it.. bubbles, and the water explodes. with .. Mirai screaming. He .. starts laughing insanely, and comes for us.. Bruce grabs him and yells " Mother the sword!"


I strike it against.. the ground... and the wood sword.. turns metal... I feel weird for a second, but I throw it at Bruce who forces Mirai's hand on it. .. Lightning hits .. The older.. saiyan , and he calms down.

" Where am I?"

" Uncle Mirai? Can you hear me? It's Bruce."

Mirai.. looks confused. " Mirai? My name is Trunks. Trunks Vegeta Briefs. " He gets up. " Your a saiyan! Wow! I thought I was the only one left! Though it would be nice if a girl saiyan popped up if you know what I mean. "

He looks at me and Stephanie. " Wow. Those are two cuties!Are you dating both of them?"



" Mir..... I mean Trunks What's the last thing you remember?" Bruce.. looks shocked.

Mirai.. rubs his chin. " Well I had just killed the Android 18 and 17 of this timeline, I am in the timeline where the androids took over right?"


" No." Bruce.. told him.

"Oh well I was going back in time to go tell My Father, and all the rest of the guys I had killed the droids. Cell jumped me I blew him to pieces.. and that's the last thing I remember. Not as impressive as the Cell that Gohan killed, but still not bad huh?"

" Um Sure." Bruce stares. " Trunks? how old are you?"

" Seventeen. Why? Are one of those girls young or something?"

" Um they're both taken, Trunks they are um family members of mine. Why don't you go back to Capsule Corp they can help you there. "


" Yeah ! Your right I can't wait to tell the guys the news! Um what's your name again? "

Bruce shakes his hand. " Bruce Cain. Tell your family I helped you."

Mirai leaves. I look at Bruce. " Was that supposed to happen?"

" No that's new. Maybe we waited too long. Or he could get his memories back tomorrow. I don't know, Oh well Grandpa, and the saiyans owe me so they'll stay out of my business which is what I wanted. "


I look at his.. body language he's lying... maybe to himself as well as us. " We both know .. your not telling the truth .. Bruce. You wanted to help.. you can't lie to your mother. "

He nods. " Yeah but don't tell that to any of the assassins. Well Mom Aunt Steph , take care of yourselves. "

" Bruce.. you don't need .. to do this stuff.. your doing.. you can change. "

He doesn't answer. me.. Just tells his people to leave, the base, and go to another.

Me and.. Steph go back to HQ " Hey. When you have this kid. I want to be god mother , Ok Cass?"

" Tim beat you to.. the god parent.. thing... he made me promise.. Already."


" Cass. I said god mother. If Tim can be god mother, well he has some explaining to do."

I laugh..." OK... I just hope he ... he stays safe."

" Don't worry Cass. He's big and scary, and the rock of saiyan doom is gone. He'll be fine. "


" I hope so." I think to myself.
