…
(General POV)
"I will come to you tomorrow."
Those six words kept buzzing around in Darren's mind like a bee hive. He couldn't shake the feeling of dread every time he looked at the clock at the center of the base. He wanted desperately for this day to be over as to ease his worry.
"Kid Lantern," he heard someone call out.
Darren snapped out of his daze just in time to be hit with a blast of water by Aqualad. Luckily, the Atlantean didn't put to much power into the attack so he just ended up bouncing of the training room's wall.
"Kid Lantern, in training sessions you must pay attention," Black Canary told him sternly.
Kid Flash zoomed over to his friend's side and helped him up.
"Are you okay," Kid Flash asked in concern.
Darren smiled and gave him a nod.
"I'm sorry Black Canary," Darren apologized to his teacher, "my mind was just somewhere else."
"Make sure it stays here," Black Canary told him firmly, "in battle you won't have any timeouts to collect yourself. Understand."
"Yes Ma'am," Darren sighed.
"Good," Black Canary nodded, "now, Megan let's see how you fare against Aqualad."
Megan put on an excited grin and floated to the ring next to Aqualad. Immediately they began their sparing match, both of them using their powers.
Since, both of them were out of the ring, Darren and Wally opted to sit down against the wall they were on together.
"Want a bite of my pretzel," Wally asked shoving his snack in his friends face while chewing on a bite himself.
"No thanks," Darren denied quietly putting on a false smile.
Wally looked at him blankly, the bites to his pretzels getting significantly smaller.
With half lidded eyes, Wally leaned his forehead on Darren's and stared into his eyes analytically.
"It's nothing," Darren smiled nervously at his friend.
Wally continued to stare down at him.
"Really," Darren tried to argue with emphasis.
That still got no response from the speedster.
"You know I'm really good at baking breads. I could make you some more pretzels or even some cinnamon rolls," Darren offered looking up at the taller boy pitifully.
"Don't try to tempt me with food," Wally replied with narrowed eyes all the while taking another bite of his pretzel.
Darren inwardly groaned. Wally was far too stubborn for him to keep quiet for long.
"Can I tell you later tonight," Darren pleaded with big eyes.
Wally, being a sucker for those eyes, sighed and took his head off of Darren's.
"Any later than eight o'clock and I'll tie you down and force you tell me what's wrong with you," Wally told his friend sternly.
Darren gulped and nodded obediently.
Robin, who heard every word they said seeing as him and his other teammates weren't that from the two of them, smirked at Wally's words.
"I don't know why I make jokes about those two," Robin shook his head amusedly, "they do it for me."
Artemis nodded in agreement while Superboy face was blank.
"It a no wonder the media thinks their dating, which is something I've been meaning to bring up with you Robin."
"Whatever for Artemis," Robin looked up at his teammate innocently.
"You wouldn't happen to have anything to do with the whole 'flashlantern' pairing would you," Artemis gave the boy wonder a pointedly look.
Robin gasped in shock.
"Are you trying to insinuate that I would spread rumors about our precious friends being homosexual," Robin paused dramatically, "honestly Artemis, just how long have we known each other?"
Superboy and Artemis looked to each other and then at Robin.
"You did it," the both said together.
"Of course I did," Robin admitted not denying that claim in the slightest, "but that's not the point. The point is that those two kings of obliviousness will never figure it out on their own, unless you tell them."
"Which I gladly will," Artemis smirked, "if you happened to get on my bad side."
"Hey I thought you were on my side," Robin protested pouting a little.
"I am," Artemis nodded, "but it's not every day your given blackmail on Robin, the boy wonder."
Robin folded his arms and turned away from him.
Suddenly, the bases alarm system started going off.
"What's going on," Aqualad asked both him and Megan pausing in their sparing session with each other.
Flying down from the ceiling, Red Tornado went to the center of the room and brought up the large computer screen
"It seems that there is something rampaging through Rhode Island," Red Tornado announced in his robotic voice.
The screen revealed to the team a gorilla robot like the ones they fought before stomping through Rhode Island. Only this time it was double the size of the previous ones.
"Whoa," Wally eyes widened in shock, "it's Mecha Kong."
"Where is it now," Robin asked.
"The giant mechanical being is currently in Newport," Red Tornado answered, "and will soon be in Happy Harbor."
"Do you think it's looking for us," Megan wondered aloud.
"Who cares," Wally smirked, "let's just stomp on it."
"Agreed," Superboy punched his fist in anticipation.
Black Canary and Red Tornado looked to each other briefly.
"Go," Black Canary ordered, "but be careful."
The team nodded and left the base.
"Do you think they'll be okay," Black Canary asked softly. Even though she was tough on them she saw all of them at her children.
"They are a strong team," Red Tornado responded, "I am positive that the outcome of this battle will be in their favor."
Black Canary smiled at the robot in amusement.
…
It took the team little time to hop into Miss. Martian's ship and fly over to Newport. Given the size of the robot they were easily able to find him stomping through roads and building. It didn't seem to be hurting anyone rather than walking around in search for something.
"We need a plan, any ideas," Miss. Martian's questioned.
"Will the same strategy as last time work," Kid Lantern wondered.
"We could try it but I doubt it would work," Robin told him, "it's highly unlikely that the creator of this thing would only change its size and not fix its design flaws."
Just then the robot stopped in its tracks. Slowly it turned its gaze directly to where the Young Justice team was.
"I don't like the look in his eye," Kid Flash admitted as a feeling a dread washed over him.
Soon, the robots visors glowed red and it fired a laser blast at them.
Luckily, the team was able to move out of the way in time. However, the blast did leave a gigantic dent in the spot they were previously standing on the road.
The robot started fire a continuous wave of the blasts at each of them.
"First things first," Aqualad stated dodging another blast that came his way, "we have to get him out of the city and the people to safety."
Indeed, there were numerous amounts of people running around in a panic as the robot was attacking the team.
"Kid Lantern and Miss. Martian get the robot out of here," Aqualad ordered, "everyone else, let's help these people."
Everyone nodded and got to work.
Flying above the giant mechanical gorilla, Kid Lantern and Miss. Martian went to contain it before it started blasting the both of them.
"We can't get close enough to grab it," Kid Lanter cried out creating a shield to protect Miss. Martian and himself.
"Kid Flash, distract it," Aqualad commanded helping two little girls get to safety.
"Aye aye captain," Kid Flash saluted and ran in front of the robot.
"Hey you Kind Kong rip off down here," Kid Flash shouted.
The robot looked down at the young speedster and attempted to shoot him down.
"Ah, is that all you got," Kid Flash gave the robot a smirk as he dodged every single hit.
"Now's our chance," Miss. Martian urged flying down to the robot again.
Kid Lantern nodded in agreement. Using his ring, Kid Lantern created a giant net to hold the mechanical gorilla.
"This thing is heavy," Kid Lantern grunted as he struggled to hold the robot up.
"I'll help," Miss. Martian offered.
Utilizing her psychic powers, Miss. Martian was able to raise the robot up so both herself and Kid Lantern were able to carry it.
As if just realizing it was captured, the gorilla robot started struggling in its net.
"Where should we put it," Kid Lantern questioned trying to steady himself from all the wiggling the robot was doing in the net.
"I don't know but we have to land soon I can't hold him much longer," Miss. Martian warned as she struggle to carry the mechanical beast.
Kid Lantern looked across the landscape trying to find a good landing spot.
"There," Kid Lantern pointed to an empty field.
Flying above the field, both superheroes dumped the gorilla robot down.
The robot, not affected in the least by the fall, stood up and looked upward at the two of them. Without hesitation, the robot popped up its right fist to reveal a laser cannon.
Slowly, it started to charge up the cannon to attack them.
Kid Lantern gasped in panic.
"Let's combine our powers," Kid Lantern urged Miss. Martian.
Miss. Martian nodded with a smile.
Kid Lantern powered his ring quickly and unleashed a powerful blast from it. Miss. Martian concentrated her powers on the blast Kid Lantern shot out of his ring giving it more of a gravitational force.
Just before the blast could hit him, the robot fired his cannon at the young superheroes.
The two blasts met each other with extreme force. While Kid Lantern and Miss. Martian struggled to push their attack further, the gorilla robot didn't look fazed in the slightest at their exchange.
However, as Kid Lantern pushed himself to succeed his ring responded in kind. With his willpower Kid Lantern was able to give himself a power boost and shoot his attack directly through the gorilla robot's blast and strike him down.
The blow caused the robot to go flying half way across the field.
"Alright we did it," Miss. Martian cheered hugging Kid Lantern.
Kid Lantern chuckled at the embrace.
They had spoken to soon however as the robot slyly got up and looked toward them again. While those two were preoccupied, the robot popped open its other hand to reveal another cannon.
Discreetly, it took aim and charged up its cannon for the two young superheroes.
Just as the cannon neared full charge a arrow shot into the cannon causing it to malfunction and implode.
Hearing the implosion, Kid Lantern and Miss. Martian turned around to find the gorilla robot still alive (sort of). They looked over to see Artemis and the rest of team waiting for them down on the ground.
Both of them floated down to meet their team.
"Can't believe you guys started without us," Kid Flash had mock look of hurt on his face.
"It's not like we had a choice," Kid Lantern told him.
"He's getting up again," Robin announced.
Indeed the robot was still functioning and slowly walking toward them.
Seeing the robot charging up its eyes lasers again, Kid Lantern created a scutum shield in order to protect everyone.
"Okay everyone, Attack Pattern A," Aqualad proclaimed.
The team, excluding Kid Lantern, nodded in agreement.
"Wait, wait, wait, what's Attack Pattern A," Kid Lantern protested in panic.
The young Green Lantern was never told about any attack patterns so he didn't have a clue what was happening.
"Just drop the shield when I tell you to," Aqualad advised.
Not having any other choice, Kid Lantern agreed. In the corner of his eye, he saw everyone get into a battle position.
"Now," Aqualad ordered.
Immediately, Kid Lantern dropped his shield, lucky for them the gorilla robot had stopped firing a little while ago.
The team charged at the robot. Robin and Artemis threw there projectiles at the robots eyes disabling its lasers. Miss. Martian held the robot down with her psychic power enabling it from moving. Finally, Aqualad, Kid Flash, and Superboy struck the robot down. Aqualad thrust his twin water swords into its chest, Kid Flash gave it a swift kick in its left side, and Superboy hurled a powerful punch on its right side.
All at once, each part of the robots body started to spark and glow. The three boys hurriedly separated themselves from the robot. The sparks started too gradually until finally the robot exploded, its part scattering all around the field.
"Separate and destroy all parts," Robin ordered anticipating what was going to happen next.
Before anyone could move however, in the blink of an eye the parts had already come together and reassembled the robot.
"Dammit," Robin growled, "he made the recovery time significantly faster. There is no way we could destroy every single part before the robot reassembles itself."
"What do you think we should do," Aqualad asked him seeing as Robin was the technological expert of the group.
Robin rubbed his chin in thought.
"Blow every single part up at the same time," Robin suggested, "the robot can't recover parts it doesn't have."
"Aw, that means no souvenir this time," Kid Flash pouted.
"Do any of us have that kind of power," Miss. Martian wondered.
"I think my ring could do it," Kid Lantern proposed.
"Alright then," Aqualad gave him a nod of approval, "let's give Kid Lantern the backup he needs in order to destroy the robot."
"You got it," Kid Flash cracked his fingers in anticipation.
"Alright let's move," Aqualad ordered.
Kid Lantern flew up above the gorilla robot and started charging up his attack.
The rest of the team on the ground positioned themselves in a circle around the robot. With a battle cry Superboy started the assault on the robot.
Each of them took turns intercepting the robots attacks and knocking it down.
Once the blast was fully charged, Kid Lantern unleashed his attack on the robot.
The robot, as if sensing the attack, ripped everyone off itself, popped open the cannons in both of its arms and fired them at Kid Lantern.
Both attacks collided with each other furiously.
"Whoa, I thought it had to charge those things," Kid Flash gapped at the robot.
"I guess when it reassembled itself the robot also fixed some its flaws on its own," Robin assumed.
"We have to stop it," Kid Flash looked up at Kid Lantern worriedly.
As the others moved to attack the robot again, it unleashed an electromagnetic wave around itself.
"This is making me very whelmed," Robin sighed in irritation.
Kid Lantern was putting all he had into the attack. With his willpower he was able to fight off the gorilla robots attack. This time was a little more difficult because the robots apparent power increase, but Kid Lantern was steadily holding his own.
Just as the battle slowly started turning in Kid Lanterns favor, a streak of blue light mixed with Kid Lanterns green one. The blue light swirled around Kid Lanterns attack turning them into one blast. This green and blue mixed attack was easily able to triumph over the gorilla robot and evaporate it in the blast.
Kid Lantern let out small breaths once the fight was over. Kid Lantern looked down at his ring in confusion.
"That blue light definitely did not come from my ring," Kid Lantern thought aloud, "but where did it come from."
"It came from me," A voice said from behind him.
What Kid Lantern saw caused his eyes to widen in shock.
Floating in front of him was a very tall and muscular male with powdered blue hair and dark blue eyes.
That's not what shocked him though. What shocked him was the suit he was wearing.
It was almost exactly the same as his.
The green had been replaced with blue on this boy's suit and the design on front was different as well. The design was of a flower instead of a seed.
Kid Lantern has seen it before but he couldn't put his finger on it.
The boy chuckled at him in amusement.
"It's an almond blossom," the boy answered as if knowing what he was thinking, "it's the symbol of hope in the language of flowers."
"Do you not like it," the boy looked saddened at the young Green Lantern, "I made it just for you."
"Who are you," Kid Lantern asked fearfully floating away from him slightly.
"You know who I am love," the boy stated at him blissfully.
"You're Tobi," Kid Lantern whispered.
"Completely right beautiful," Tobi breathed reaching over to touch Kid Lantern's face.
Kid Lantern dodged the touch and floated away from him even further.
Tobi frowned in dissatisfaction.
"Kid Lantern get down here," Kid Flash shouted sternly. When he saw that guy in blue appear he was just confused, but after the young speedster saw him trying to touch Darren anger quickly surfaced within him.
Happily, Kid Lantern moved to float down to the ground. Unfortunately, Tobi didn't want that. Tobi grabbed him by his arm and made it so they were chest to chest.
"What are doing," Kid Lantern asked struggling with the hold but found that Tobi was psychically stronger than him, "let me go."
"I need to talk to you," Tobi responded as if it was obvious.
"Please just let me go," Kid Lantern pleaded, "I don't want to have to hurt you."
As he said these words, Kid Lanterns rings started glowing as if warning the other young man.
Just then, the both of them were forcibly pulled to the ground. They both landed with a loud thud.
"Oops," Miss. Martian giggled apologetically, "I might have over done it a bit."
With a grunt, Kid Flash ran over to the two of them, smacked Tobi's hand off of Kid Lantern and forced him onto his feet.
"Who the hell are you and what do you want with Kid Lantern," Kid Flash glared at the apparent teenager angrily.
Calmly, Tobi took Kid Flash's hands off him and gave the young speedster a blank gaze.
"It's not something specific I want from him. I want all of him," Tobi answered bluntly, "him and I are destined to be together."
"First of all, who are you," Robin asked as him and the rest of the team walked over to them, "second of all, Kid Lanterns already taken."
"I am Tobi a Blue Lantern," Tobi replied receiving nothing but confused looks from all of them, "and yes I have heard of those…rumors floating around this planet which is why I have to take back what is mine."
"What is yours," Kid Flash repeated enraged, "you're not taking anything with you buddy."
Tobi floated past Kid Flash and went to Kid Lantern again. He clasped theirs hands together and looked at the young Green Lantern intensely.
"You and I are the chosen ones," Tobi stated, "the two Lanterns that must come together in order to utilize the power of the Ring of Silence."
"Ring of Silence," Kid Lantern repeated in confusion. He had no idea what his guy was talking about.
"It is our destiny," Tobi nodded determinedly.
Once again, Kid Flash pulled Tobi away from his friend. The young speedster put himself in front of Kid Lantern protectively.
"If you put your hands on him one more time I'm gonna punch you straight into outer space," Kid Flash snarled.
It was then that Tobi looked around at the rest of the Young Justice team and saw what a spectacle he was making of himself.
"I don't like that we have an audience," Tobi grunted displeasure, "I'm afraid we'll have to meet another time Darren."
"No, you'll explain what the hell you want right now," Kid Flash demanded.
"Good bye for now my love," Tobi ignored Kid Flash and waved at Darren.
Without warning Tobi bolted in the sky and flew off.
"My love," Kid Flash repeated his left eye twitching somewhat.
"Uh, Kid Flash," Robin said cautiously.
"Who the hell was that," Kid Flash demanded turning his angry gaze on his friend.
"Um, Tobi," Kid Lantern chuckled weakly.
Kid Flash glared at him warningly.
"He's this weird guy that's been stalking me," Kid Lantern admitted, "he's been leaving me notes ever since I went to Oa."
"He's been stalking you all the way from Oa," Kid Flash demanded angrily, "why didn't you say anything?"
Kid Lantern winced at the tone of his voice.
"I didn't think it was a big deal," Kid Lantern confessed weakly, "and that I could handle him by myself."
Aqualad put a hand on Kid Flash's shoulder and looked to Kid Lantern.
"Even so you should have told us what was going on," Aqualad voiced calmly, "he could have been much more dangerous than you could have thought."
"For all we know he is more dangerous than you thought," Robin added, "that guy seemed pretty into you, and not in a good way."
"The point is we're a team and we look after each other," Miss. Martian told him.
"I know and I'm so sorry," Kid Lantern apologized.
"You better be," Kid Flash grumbled.
A look of hurt came over Kid Lanterns face at his friend's words.
"Let's just get out here," Robin offered before some more words that don't need to said are spoken.
Everyone agreed and started to walk back to Megan's ship.
As they all started walking, Kid Lantern could feel the heated gaze of his friend on his back.
I'm so stupid, Darren thought to himself pitifully.
…
(Later that night)
Tobi was on top of a building in Newport thinking to himself about Darren.
"I have to find a way to get him away from those…friends of his," Tobi thought aloud, "but how?"
"Perhaps I can help you with that," A voice called out to him.
"Who's there," Tobi snapped to action looked all around him.
The voice chuckled in amusement.
"Someone who can help get your little Green Lantern," the person told him, "and all I ask is you help myself and my comrades reach our goal."
"What comrades," Tobi asked suspiciously, "and what goal. Who are you exactly?"
"How rude of me."
The person behind the voice came out of the shadows revealing himself the Blue Lantern.
Tobi gasped in shock.
"I am Gorilla Grodd (1)," the gorilla smirked at the boys shocked face.
"And I am one of the founding members of…The Light."
