Tokyo, Japan || October 10, 00:00 EDT ||

Aaliyah couldn't do it anymore to wait for their answers. Zara is in trouble and asking for help. She hates the fact of not letting them searching for Red Tornado and Zara. Zara is just a child and she'll do everything to get them back. Aaliyah knows this world is different comparing where they come from. She's not going to waste any more time but to find them fast.

It's already 12 midnight and everyone is sleeping excluding Aaliyah and Ruby. They are grabbing the necessary things before going out of the house silently. Aaliyah knows Ruby is going with her whether she likes it or not. Ruby inherits Erza's stubborn attitude and she's used to their attitude.

"Should we write a letter from them?" Ruby whispered at Aaliyah low enough to hear her out.

"I've done it." She sits behind Ruby's back as they're riding on Sora's back. "I remember Ivo create an Android and we have to sneak inside find clues of them."

"Let's go, Sora." Ruby command her spirits as they are soar into the sky to head off their destination.

Both of them know they're going to get in trouble for not following their orders. Especially on their own without any backup at all. Both of them are used to it traveling around the place to finish the quest by themselves. They have more experience of doing missions independently without someone to babysit them at all times.

Mount Justice || October 10, 16:58 EDT ||

Arthur is officially angry and worried for Aaliyah and Ruby. Both of them went ahead without asking him or Caleb's help. They went on ahead to search Red Tornado and Angel considering they've been missing for 2 weeks now.

Caleb told his younger brother not to say anything about Ruby and Aaliyah's absence. The younger Nelson lied and promise not to tell his friends about them. Arthur is going to find a way about this.

"Pineapple juice?" Captain Marvel asks Wally and breaks Arthur thoughts.

"That idiot..." Arthur muttered bitterly and looks disappointed on him.

"Good work everyone." Black Canary congratulated them. "In fact, it's been a very productive week." She compliments them.

"Yeah, for everyone except for kid malingerer." Artemis commented sarcastically.

"Hey!" Wally protests. "Arm broken in combat against the Injustice League here. Where is Ruby so she could call Kurjma to heal my broken arms."

"Kurama." Robin corrected him. "Speaking off, where are they, Arthur?" He asks the younger Nelson curiously.

"Busy fighting crimes at Japan." Arthur lied easily. "They're going to be here late. Still, you can still practice training on one-hand Wally."

"Well, excuse me Mr Sworsman." Wally glared at the brunette boy. "I'm not like you."

"Excuses, excuses, my friend." He shakes his head.

Black Canary chuckles at their banter. "I've really enjoyed being your, uh, den mother this week."

"Recognized: Zatara, 11." The computer announced of Zatara's arrival. Zatara typed something on hologram keyboard. "Access granted. Zatanna, Zatara A-03. Authorization: Zatara, 11."

The bright light disappeared to reveal a girl close to Robin's age. Zatara decided to bring his daughter to meet the Team. "Zatanna, this the Team. Team, my daughter, Zatanna." He introduced them to his daughter.

Arthur was shocked to see Zatanna again and M'gann decided to introduce herself in front of her. "Hi! I'm..." She was cut off by Zatanna.

"Arthur!" Zatanna is happy to see Arthur again and approaching him. "Dad and Knight weren't bluffing that you're back being a hero again."

"They didn't." He chuckled nervously feeling their eyes. "Zatara used to babysit me before and met his daughter." Arthur explained it to everyone.

"Mmm..." Wally nodded with a sly smirk on his face. "You do have a reputation, Sweet Prince."

"Please stop that." He cringed at the nickname and wondering whether to change his personality or not due to being too kind towards other people. "Anyway... this is M'gann, Wally, Artemis, Kaldur, Conner and Robin." Arthur introduced Zatanna to his friends.

"Welcome to the Cave." Kaldur greeted Zatanna.

"Thanks." Zatanna thanked the Atlantean. "Arthur, where are your sisters you've been telling me about?" She asks the brunette curiously.

"Fighting crimes at Japan." He lied again but Zatanna knows he's lying to them. "So, Z... are you joining us?"

"Let's not get ahead of ourselves." Zatara intervened and hated the idea of his daughter being part of their team. "This is strictly a visit."

"Of course..." Arthur feels sorry for Zatanna and couldn't blame him being an overprotective father. "My apologies, Sir."

"It's quite alright, Arthur." Zatara assured Arthur. "But I am sorry we missed the training." He apologies Black Canary for missing out the training. "It's something from which Zatanna could benefit."

"Do the rest of you get the impression we're still on probation with Zatara?" M'gann asks them through telepathy to her friends.

"Not just Zatara." Conner answered. "I mean, why is Marvel still hanging around?" He asks them curiously.

Arthur gives Zatanna apologetic look and she returned a deadpanned expression. "Because we like having him around." Wally answered.

"You like having him around cause he waits on you hand and foot." Artemis pointed out bluntly.

"And your point is?" Staring at the female archer.

"You're treating Marvel like a servant." Arthur spoke up bluntly. "Seriously? You can move your legs to move and use your other hand to do grab your snacks."

"He got you their, Wally..." Robin agreed with him and snickered at Wally's nervous expression.

"It almost makes one nostalgic for Red Tornado's tenure as supervisor whereas Zara's with him for the disappearance." Kaldur pointed out and Arthur looks worried about the halfling.

"Yeah." Robin scoffs. "At least he trusted us."

"If you ignore the fact we shouldn't have trusted him!" Conner exclaimed angrily. "He was a traitor. That machine nearly got all of us killed and took Zara! Zara is just a child!"

"You think we don't know that, Conner?" Arthur asks calmly and trying to control his temper. "I'm worried Zara because she's like a sister to Ruby and I whereas Aaliyah-"

"Are you guys having a psychic conversation?" Zatanna asks them and had enough of their mental conversation. It gained everyone's attention to her. "Cause I can't decide if that's cool or really rude."

"All right. Fine." Conner sighs heavily. "We were talking about Tornado and Zara. It's been weeks since his attack, and the League hasn't told us anything."

"The League is searching for Tornado and Zara, as well as the other androids that invaded the Cave and their creator, T.O Morrow." Black Canary explained to them. "Batman's made tracking them down our highest priority."

"But you've found none of the above." Robin pointed out.

"Not yet, but Tornado is Justice League."

"Zara is also our responsibility to look after because she's one of us." Arthur reminded Black Canary. "We also have our rights-"

"The team is not to pursue this." Black Canary cuts Arthur off and giving him a look whereas he remained stoic expression.

"Why don't you all take Zatanna, on a, uh, a tour of the Cave?" Zatara asks them and changing the subject.

"Ah. You're giving a tour?" Marvel asks them curiously and Arthur has a brilliant. "Cool!" He brought food for Wally.

None of Arthur's friends know who Marvel really is and decided to lie him out. "Captain Marvel, Wolf wanted to stretch his legs and was wondering if you can take him outside? If you don't mind." Arthur asks Marvel and hoping he will say yes.

"He needs the exercise. We'll join you in a few." Conner helped Arthur out as well.

"Sure, sure. I can do that. Come on, Wolf." Marvel leads Wolf outside with nachos on his hand.

"What... my nachos!" Wally whined as Artemis grabs his collar to drag him out.

They went another direction where the bioship is to search Red Tornado and Zara. Arthur was surprised to see Zatanna changed her clothes to casual. "You're getting good at magic, Zatanna." Arthur compliments Zatanna.

"Thanks, Arthur." Zatanna blushed slightly while the girls smirked of her having a huge crush on Arthur. "Why did you lie to us about them?"

"Knight thinks it's a brilliant idea to keep this one for you guys." Arthur sighs heavily and everyone stopped walking. "I called it stupid."

"Where are they exactly, Arthur?" Kaldur asks Arthur.

"Both of them leave the home late at night." Arthur answered. "They went on their own without us."

"Dude!" Wally looked surprised hearing the news. "Ruby and Aaliyah? Are they out of their mind?"

"Those girls are unpredictable and if I were in their position... I would do the same thing." He scoffs. "Besides... from what I learn to them. Their guild is also known as impulsive, destructible and reckless mages."

"They are?" Artemis asks Arthur with a shocked on her face.

"Yup! However, they're overprotective to each other and willing to do anything to make them safe." He explained. "If one of their families are in danger, they're going to break the rules. I was surprised how they managed this long."

"That explains why I didn't see them." Zatanna spoke up and Arthur nodded his head. "We're not really taking a tour, are we?"

"No." Conner answered. "We're hunting down that robot and save Zara." He answered.

"Yes, we are." Kaldur answered.

"Oh, wow. Out loud and everything." Zatanna commented and was amazed by their honesty.

"What about new girl?" Artemis asks them curiously.

"She won't tell." Arthur assured the female archer.

"I can't tell." Zatanna spoke up. "Not if you kidnap me." Giving them a sly look on her face.

"Oh, she's going to fit in great." She's impressed at her attitude.

Teton County || October 10, 04:23 MDT||

Hearing the whirling sounds as Angel didn't lower her guard at all. She lost counting the days she held in a captive and got separated Red Tornado. The halfling knew Red Tornado was been brainwashed by T.O Morrow and the other androids. Deep inside her heart, she never gives up hope for Kitsune and Celestial are looking for them.

"Tired, kitty?" Morrow asks Angel but only received silence. "Aren't you hungry? You haven't touched the food yet."

Angel simply glared at the Scientist and didn't move at all. "I've never met a creature like you. You're a strong woman despite the lack of food or water inside of your body." T.O Morrow spoke up. "This could take a while to experiment you, my darling. You're always one step ahead of me, executing the plan."

Angel didn't say anything and silently praying to save them fast.

Belle Reve || October 10, 18:35 CDT||

They decided to do Kid Flash stupid idea to interrogate Ivo at Belle Reve. "Warden Strange owed us a favor for stopping last months prison break. He's giving us 5 minutes with you." Miss Martian informed Ivo and everyone else.

"Spill, Ivo." Superboy spoke up while crossing his arms. "How do we find T.O Morrow, his Reds and Angel?"

"Now, why in the world would I know how to find morrow?" Ivo asks in a bored tone. "I'm not interested in that pesky cat except that fox girl of yours. She's quite interesting one than that mascot if yours."

"Leave Kitsune out of this, Ivo." Saber spoke up coldly and feels overprotective towards his foster sister.  "Lay a hand on her, you're going to meet my blades."

"Talk about an overprotective brother." Artemis whispered at Zatanna and she couldn't help but agree to her.

"Is that a love, Saber?" Ivo asks and looks interests at Saber.

"Yes, and I care about her well-being, including everyone here." Saber declared.

"Because..." Kid Flash changed the subject. "And here's a truly dumb idea... you're Morrow's biggest competitor in the evil android game. Who better to keep track of what he's up to, and where?"

"Ah. I see your point." Ivo nodded his head in understanding. "So let me rephrase... why in the world would I tell you how to find Morrow?"

"He knows." Aqualad approached Miss Martian. "Do what you must." He ordered her.

Miss Martian tried to read Ivo's mind but he just laughs. "Oh, please. As if I've never faced a telepath before." He crosses his arms and looks confident.

"You haven't seen one yet." Saber commented with a mischevious look on his face.

Zatanna approached Ivo chanting a spell on him. "Trulb tuo s'worroM eurt noiatacol!"

"Morrow's in a secret underground base beneath Yellowstone National Park..." Ivo speaks faster and looked surprised at how he said the truth to them. "100 meters South of old faithful." The Team excluding Saber, looked surprised at Zatanna's ability. "Wait. What just happened?"

"That wasn't so hard, isn't?" Saber asks sarcastically and he only received a glare from Ivo.

Angel didn't know whether to kill Kitsune and Celestial for being reckless or not. She couldn't believe they let them capturing themselves and didn't bother to fight them back.

"I don't know whether to kill you guys or not." Angel spoke up bluntly and hugging them tightly. "I always knew you guys won't stop looking at me."

"We adored you so much, Angel." Kitsune spoke up softly and examing Angel's features. "You're losing weight, Angel."

"What have they done to you?" Celestial asks worriedly towards Angel. She's worried the Red Volcano took her keys away from her. The scarlet-haired girl hopes Red Tornado is going to keep the keys safe knowing he's still with them.

"They tried to experiment on me." She smiled at them tiredly. "None of them didn't know I'm a stubborn person and won't back down without a fight."

"We're Fairy Tail mages after all." Kitsune commented and holds back her tears. "In a few hours, they are coming to save us."

"How did you know that?" Zara asks her adopted mother curiously.

"My special bells on my ankles silently vibrates... indicating they are close."

"You girls are screwed for disobeying their orders."

"They had it coming." Celestial commented and sweatdropped knowing she's right.

Celestial and Kitsune are going to get themselves in trouble for going on a mission by themselves.

"Black out all external communication." Aqualad ordered Miss Martian. "Soon, Canary and Zatara... Batman, too, I imagine... will know of our visit with Professor Ivo. We haven't much time."

"I'm impressed how you cast that spell, Z." Saber compliments the black-haired girl. "Did your dad taught you that?"

"Your brother did actually." She chuckled and remembered Knight trained her behind Zatara's back. "I thought he can't cast any spell at all."

"Here's the opposite one." He chuckled and rubbing his neck. "Kitsune is the mentor of Knight when it comes to magic. Knight said and I quote. 'Kitsune is way better than Zatara.' He gets a hell training for 5 months." Everyone excluding Zatanna shivers in fear of Kitsune's hell training.

"From what I heard from my dad or Knight, they've never felt this kind of magic power." Zatanna pointed out and was wondering why they're scared of her.

"Pfft." Kid Flash scoffs and smiled nervously at Saber's glare. "I mean, what's so special about Kitsune?"

"Hardworking that's all." He smiled at the yellow speedster. "How's your training progress coming along?" Saber changed the subject.

"Yeah." Artemis agreed with him. "Could you teleport us to Tornado and Angel, or Morrow to a cell, or force his bots to surrender?"

"Or create peace on Earth for all time?" Zatanna asks and scoffs. "Zatara couldn't do all that, and I'm nowhere near on my dad's level. I need to know a spell cold, or else have time to prep it. Plus, all magic requires energy, which usually has to come from within. I just can't make the impossible happen at will."

"Zatanna is right." Saber spoke up while glancing at the window. "Sometimes... magic can be a blessing or a curse. Remember what happened to Celestial? The more she uses crystal magic, the more she exerts herself."

"What's our E.T.A to Yellowstone?" Superboy changed the subject. "I'm way past ready to stuff Tornado into a trash compactor. How dare he took Angel from us."

"Are you so certain he betrayed us?" Aqualad asks the clone curiously.

"Aren't you?" He asks angrily.

"I am not convinced and I know Kitsune's instinct she trusts Red Tornado."

"She's not here!" He pointed out. "She runs away with Celestial to save Angel."

"Even so, that makes him but the victim of his creator's programming." Aqualad explained to the hot-headed clone. "Certainly, he deserves a chance to prove he's more than the weapon others designed him to be."

"I'll kill Kitsune once the mission is over." Saber grumbled over his breath and they heard him. "Dragging Celestial into her mission. What in the world is she thinking?"

"She's worried about Angel, Saber." Robin pointed out and pouts slightly. "She took my young maiden away from me."

"Since when is she yours, Rob?" Kid Flash asks him curiously and never seen him falling for someone before.

"The moment I laid my eyes on her." He sighs dreamily and couldn't stop thinking about her.

"You want blessings? Try to ask Celestial's spirits whether you're worthy enough to be with Ruby or not." Saber spoke up bluntly.

"Couldn't wait for that." Artemis grinned widely. "Boy, Ruby sure has a lot of admirers."

"Who?" Zatanna asks the female archer curiously.

"His name is Di-"

"They need to get through Xi Men first." Saber cuts Artemis off and chuckled. "Xi Men is an overprotective spirit and a father figure to Ruby."

"Good luck dude." Kid Flash teased the boy wonder and he just glared at the yellow speedster.

Yellowstone National Park || October 10, 20:22 MDT||

They finally arrived at their destination everyone are in stealth mode including Zatanna. She decided to help them save Red Tornado and Angel. There could be also a chance to see Saber's foster sisters he always admires about.

"You guys made it." They jumped in surprised to see Celestial, Angel and Kitsune stands in front of their bioship.

"Guys!" Miss Martian squeals and hugging them. "I'm so glad you girls are safe!"

"Us too." Celestial returned the gestures. "We're waiting for the right timing to get free."

"How's Angel?" Artemis asks them worriedly seeing her sleeping peacefully but losing weight. "What have they done to her?"

"She fought and won't allow anyone to experiment her." Kitsune whispered. "I'll stay with Angel whereas you guys need to save Red Tornado."

"By yourself, Kitsune?" Aqualad asks Kitsune curiously. "You won't require any assistance?"

"No, just bring Red Tornado safe." She stared at each one of them including the new girl. "You guys need to be careful, I sense new android but I can't tell what it is."

"We will." He vowed and Kitsune smiled.

"Good luck. I'll treat Angel's wound immediately. I'll explain everything later." Celestial leads them where Morrow's hideout is.

Celestial kneels down right next to Robin as he opens his hologram computer. "Ivo was right. Something's down there."

"They're going to plot something, there's something uneasy feeling." Celestial answered and touching her celestial key spirits lightly on her left waist. "Let's go." Just as they're trying to head straight to the base.

A strong wind came out of nowhere as they barely hold their ground. Everyone has swept away from the wind and looked up to see Red Tornado is behind this. Completely surrounded by tornadoes without any escape from his.

"Why Tornado? Why are you doing this?" Miss Martian asks the red android. Noticing a message from them as she decided to ask them through telepathic. "Message received." She told them.

"Time to put up our acting skills." Saber commented sarcastically.

"Who cares why?" Superboy asks them angrily. "Nail him!"

"Superboy! Maneuver 7!" Aqualad ordered the clone. Superboy supports his hand and throws Aqualad into the air to attack Red Tornado but he shoves him off.

Robin and Artemis throws an explosive bomb but Red Tornado throws it towards them. Celestial swings her fan to avoid getting hit by it. The scarlet-haired girl throws her twin fan towards the android but he deflects it causing to hit Robin, Artemis and Celestial back.

"That does it, Tornado." Kid Flash grunted angrily. "You're not the only spin Doctor around here."

Red Tornado grabs Miss Martian hands and throws her off towards Kid Flash. Clashing each other as a sword appeared out of nowhere. Red Tornado manages to dodge it and grabs Saber's leg to throw him off towards Zatanna. Struggling to casts a spell and grunted in pain as they got a knocked out by Red Tornado.

Red Volcano is not a fool. He found everything of Red Tornado's plan considering he's still loyal to them. Aqualad and Superboy tears the rocks off into pieces as the others dodge it.

"Zatanna?" Saber called her worriedly.

"I'm good. The Red Tornado's getting away." Zatanna informed him.

"Is he abandoning us?" Artemis asks them curiously.

"I highly doubt it." Celestial spoke up and summon her Chinese tiger spirit, Lu Bu to help them out. "He's not leaving us for no reason. I think... he's going to convince the two."

"You mean the fire and water android that almost killed us, young maiden?" Robin asks her with a skeptical look on his face. "Good luck to him."

"I put my trust on him." She stared at the Red Volcano android. "He can do it." 

"You stand no chance against me, humans." Red Volcano spoke up and punches at Kid Flash face.

"We're not human!" Miss Martian and Superboy said in together to attack Red Volcano.

"Apologies. I suppose the properly inclusive term is..." Summoning his rocks and turned it into a hand. "Meatbags." Clasping the hands of the rock together to attack Miss Martian and Superboy in one go.

"Kurisutarumēkā: Purizumuchēn! (Crystal make: prism chain!)" Scarlet of crystal chains wrapped around Red Volcano's body.

"What-"

"Koken! (Tiger fist!)" Lu Bu appeared in front of Red Volcano's and throwing punches at the android. Sending him away from the sky as the crystals dissolve. "We're not meatbags, you metalhead." He growled angrily and stands on Celestial's side.

"Agh!" Red Tornado growled angrily and throwing rocks at them. Lu Bu holds Celestial in his arms as he uses his flash steps to dodge every rock they attack. "Tornado's memory files and my superior processing speed allow me to anticipate your every move. You, however, Celestial brat, surprised me."

"Zatanna, now!" Saber ordered Zatanna.

Zatanna cast the spell on Red Volcano as the smoke wraps around its eyes. "Tornado never knew my moves." She spoke up proudly and Saber smiled.

"You're getting improve and totally worth it for joining us, Zatanna." Saber compliments the black-haired girl causing her to blush.

"Tha-thanks, Saber." She stuttered.

"Blondie knight." Lu Bu showed up of nowhere and they cried out in surprise. "Flirt later after we save Red Tornado." Placing Celestial down.

"You flirt Celestial all the time when she summons you, kitty." Saber snapped him and Lu Bu stared at him with an amused look.

"At least I flirt before I fight." He smirked and Celestial sighs heavily and facepalm of Lu Bu's bluntness.

Red Volcano's eyes glowed and the volcano appears behind him. Celestials sigh nervously seeing it. Summoning the volcano is not a good sign for everyone.

"We need to stop him before the volcano erupts." Celestial spoke up nervously. "Look out!" They dodge every attack especially Aqualad and Miss Martian is at a disadvantage here.

"He's activating a stage 2 eruption." Kid Flash spoke up. "It gets to stage 3, kiss the hemisphere good-bye."

"Where is Natsu when you need him, Celestial?" Lu Bu asks Celestial and she shakes her head.

"Who is Natsu?" Zatanna asks the Chinese tiger spirit curiously.

"One of our friend." Celestial answered and squeals in surprised. "He eats fire, not lava, Lu Bu." Lu Bu grabs Celestial to save her.

"Hit him from all sides." Aqualad ordered them. "Celestial, summon Xi Men."

"Hai! (yes!)" Celestial agrees and grabs one of her celestial keys. "Ryūnomon, watashi wa anata o aite, nishi no hito! (Gate of the dragon, I open thee, Xi Men!)" Xi Men shows up to aid them.

"Miss Martian!" Saber cried out one of his teammates worriedly. "Lu Bu and Xi Men, let's go!"

"Got it!" Multiple of Kid Flash headed towards Red Volcano to save Miss Martian. The real Kid Flash managed to save her safely and headed towards them.

Water shots up of nowhere to attack Red Volcano. "Nice hit!" Robin compliments Aqualad.

"The hit was not mine. Look!" Aqualad told them as they turned around to see Red Torpedo helped them.

"Lady Celestial is right of Red Tornado convincing them." Xi Men hums in deep thought. "Shall we help them, my lady?"

"No." Celestial answered and everyone stared at her with a surprising look on their faces. "It's their battle and must not interfere it."

"I hate to say this..." Lu Bu stretches his arms and placing it behind his head. "She's right. Red Tornado manages to convince them because there is goodness in them."

"They couldn't able to convince Red Volcano to end this." She narrowed her green eyes at the android. "Their final decision-"

"Is to put an end before Red Volcano could take over the world." Xi Men answered softly and patting Celestial's head.

"She's a wise girl, isn't she?" Zatanna whispered at Saber and he nodded his head.

"Behind her shyness, Celestial is a wise girl as well." Saber spoke up softly as the others couldn't help but watch them a far but ready enough to intervene the fight.

"Sister! Brothers! Stop!" Red Volcano pleads but they ignored him.

"No... Superboy, save Red Tornado." Celestial asks the clone in a pleading tone. "He's going to sacrifice himself together with Red Inferno and Red Torpedo!"

"Got it!" Superboy agreed and grabs Red Tornado before he could get melted completely.

"Oh, no..." Celestial whimpered and Xi Men hugging her close.

"Celestial, call Sora immediately!" Kid Flash commands her.

"Senshi no tori no mon, watashi wa anata o hiraku, Sora! (Gate of the warrior bird, I open thee, Sora!)" She summons the blue armored eagle.

"Reporting for duty!" Sora showed up in front them.

"Tornado and Sora, listen!" Sora and Red Tornado listen to Kid Flash very carefully. "We're on the verge of a stage 3 supervolcano eruption. There's no turning back from that. We need to vent pressure, fast. But the ash cloud will bring on worldwide nuclear winter unless you two divert it." They nodded their head. "Triangulate around the pressure locus."

"Right." Robin shows them the image of the volcano through his computer hologram. "There, there and there." Giving Artemis an instruction and she shoots an arrow to make it explode.

Sora and Red Tornado flies up to the sky to stop the ashes. They completely stopped the eruption and Kid Flash cries out in victory for the succession plan he did.

Kitsune and Angel finally joined them to fix Red Tornado's voice. Angel is being stubborn and wanting to be with them. Kitsune reluctantly agreed since she's not going to change Angel's mind.

"There. That should do it." Robin spoke up once Kid Flash and himself fixed Red Tornado's voice.

"Yes. I can speak again." Red Tornado spoke up.

"You were willing to sacrifice yourself to save the planet." Aqualad spoke up.

"The planet would have survived." He commented. "It is humanity that was saved... though not by me." Turning his head to look at them. "My sister and brother were the true heroes this day."

Kitsune mentally frowned behind her half-mask. Remembering how Jellal lost his memories during Nirvana and helped them out before the Rune Knights captured him. It hurts Kitsune deeply seeing her biological brother got separated from him again. No matter how much what Jellal had done to her, Kitsune always loves and cares for him.

"My point is this... you were never the mole, never a traitor." Aqualad spoke up.

"Aqualad is right." Kitsune snapped out her thoughts. "You're loyal to us and help us to learn an independent hero without becoming a shadow to our- well, their mentor anymore."

"Still hated the fact you guys don't have mentor." Kid Flash grumbled and Celestial laughs nervously while holding her spirit pet, Mimi.

"No." Red Tornado changes the topic. "I left to protect you from further attack and to find my creator, Morrow."

"Cool. Souvenir." Kid Flash spoke up proudly holding a mechanic hand in his arm.

"Reddy, we can rebuild you better than you were before." Robin suggested while holding a mechanic leg.

"I do not believe I should be repaired." Red Tornado informed them.

"Why not?" Celestial asks Red Tornado curiously.

"Better question... why'd you volunteer to become our den mother in the first place?" Superboy asks in a stern tone.

"Turn down the tone, Superboy." Zara scolded him weakly since she's still recovering from the kidnapping.

"It's quite alright, Angel." Red Tornado assured the yellow strips cat. "I was the pragmatic choice. I do not require sleep. I have no secret identity or second life to live."

"But you do have advanced AI programming." Kid Flash pointed out. "Designed to learn, adapt, evolve."

"Hello, M'gann." Miss Martian slaps her forehead. "You wanted to become more human."

"And you couldn't do that with the League." Artemis commented. "They're stiffs. Well... except someone." Giving Angel, Celestial, Kitsune and Saber a look.

"Don't look at us." Saber defended themselves. "We still questioning ourselves how Knight became the League."

"It hard to tell of him being the League, Saber." Zatanna pointed out.

"Happy-go-lucky 27/7 and rare to get serious." He muttered and sighs heavily.

"At least he's opposite to someone we know." Robin commented with a smirk. "You're sure not going to learn emotion from Batman. Trust me."

"Then the Cave was not a proving ground only for us, but for you as well." Aqualad spoke up.

"I do not know if these statements are accurate, but perhaps they are true." Red Tornado spoke up. "And if I understand the term correctly, I believe I have come to... care about you all."

"See? Practically a meatbag already." Superboy commented with a smirk on his face.

"We care for you as well, Tornado." Kitsune caress Red Tornado's metal cheek. "No matter what."

They finally manage to save Red Tornado and Angel.
