|| Kyoto, Japan || August 2, 21:30 EDT

After the whole fiasco of their covert mission at Santas Prisca and voting Kaldur as a leader while Aaliyah is the second-in-command. None of them have given a mission yet as Aaliyah, Zara and Ruby are staying outside of their garden doing stargazing. Ruby falls asleep peacefully on Aaliyah's lap which she doesn't mind at all while Zara headed off to bed early.

"You'll catch a cold, Aaliyah." A soft gentle tone spoke up as the person drops the jacket on her shoulder. "How are you and the girls getting along with others?"

"Arthur-san, when did you come back?" She asks the boy name Arthur Nelson, the younger brother of Caleb Nelson.

"Just now, I'll be going back home soon." Arthur answered and smiling down at sleeping Ruby. "Well?"

"Quiet alright but a bit of reckless... they have a long way to go." Aaliyah answered bluntly and staring at the stars in deep thought. "Other than that... it's fine."

"Aaliyah..." He peered her closer to his face as she blinks her eyes. "You're getting back the old you."

"I guess..." She smiled shyly and stroking Ruby's head. "I often dreaming about Jellal and it felt so real."

"Your biological brother right?" She nodded her head. "You have strong bond siblings despite you two been through a lot. I did some research about your world, it seems like you girls are still connected to it."

It gained her interest in his research. She wasn't surprised how Arthur is excelled to gather information than Caleb. "And?"

"You three been sent here for a reason and I believe your friends are still alive." She looked surprised hearing the news. "Not here but at Tenroujima."

"Ho-ho-how did you get this information from?" Aaliyah asks and holding up her tears.

"Well... this girl shows up of nowhere and told me about it. She's around like Ruby's age, pale blonde with two sides of some sort of wings... she apologizes for sending you three without any explanation and somehow couldn't get in touch to you or them." Arthur knows why the mysterious girl couldn't get in touch with them. They're still grieving despite pretending to be alright.

"I know the cause... thank you, Arthur-san, you and your family done a lot to us." Thanking the youngest Nelson as he returned with a gentle smile. "We don't even know, how to repay you guys back."

"Looking out for each other, that's what matters." Arthur carried Ruby in her arms. "You three are like sisters to me. Believe it or not, we always have each others back." They went inside the house.

Aaliyah smiled and couldn't agree with him more. The Nelson's family have done a lot everything to help them adjust this world. She and the others are forever grateful to them.

Mount Justice || August 3, 13:06 EDT ||

"Eh? I've been accepted on Gotham?" Ruby looked shocked and reading the letter all over again. "That means...."

"It's your choice whether you want it or not." Aaliyah assured her knowing this girl wanted to follow her anywhere like a puppy. Ruby is not the only one who attended that school, Arthur is a student at Gotham Academy as well. She wanted Ruby to become an independent person and supporting the girl in every step. "Including myself, I have to attend college soon as well."

"Eh? You're going to college not High School!?" She cringed and gain a lot of attention from the team.

"Who's going to college?" Robin asks curiously as he and the others excluding Superboy who's out of Metropolis are approaching them.

"Aaliyah~!" Zara answered happily and snuggling her adopted mother. "She's smart and aced all the scores."

"I'm not that smart, Zara-chan." Aaliyah denied it and laughs nervously. "Apparently... Knight-san took me a test to see how much is my IQ... he and his grandfather looked shocked to see my results and wanted me to go college."

"Dude, you're 16! That means you're going to be the first youngest in your class!" Wally exclaimed and Zara snickering behind her paw. "What? Did I say something funny?"

"14." Ruby corrected the red-haired boy.

"14 what?" He looked clueless including the others as well.

"14 is Aaliyah, I'm 11 and Zara is 8."

They tried to process the information. Wally screamed in surprised and pointing his fingers at them. "THERE'S NO WAY AALIYAH IS 14! SHE'S WAY TOO TALL FOR HER AGE! ZARA 8!? HOW ON EARTH DID YOU BECOME A HERO SUCH A YOUNG AGE!?" He screamed and making them cringed at his loudness.

"Believe it or not Wally-san, I'm actually 14." She sighs and gotten used to it of her being so tall that almost even match at Kaldur's height. "Anyway, Zara-chan... you're also attending school as well."

"Eh!? No way! Mama~! Don't do this to me!" Zara wailed and Aaliyah sweatdropped at her childishness.

"Zara-chan, it's for your own..." Aaliyah gave Wally a look to stop laughing and he did. "Good and stop teasing her, she may be a child... however, she could make your life living in hell."

"Yeah! Remember when Zara uses her adult form to seduce you?" Ruby asks the ginger-haired boy curiously and making him shiver. "See? She's also smart despite her age. Is it really necessary Aaliyah?"

"It's actually your decision, Ru-chan." Aaliyah assured the scarlet-haired girl. "Whatever your answer is, Knight-san and I are going to accept it."

"This is hard..." She sighs sadly and someone patted her shoulder. "Robin?"

"You're going to be alright, it can't be that bad." Robin assured her and she didn't know that he, himself, is also a student at Gotham Academy.

"What if they don't like me?" She asks worriedly and playing the hem of her skirt. "I'm scared..." Ruby stared at Aaliyah's cerulean eyes.

"I understand, I'll ask-"

"No!" Robin exclaimed and Aaliyah stared at him weirdly. "I mean, there's nothing to be afraid of, Rubina." He rambled and Wally is snickering behind his back.

"You're a lovable person, Rubina." Wally assured the scarlet-haired girl. "Who wouldn't adore your innocent look?"

"Now, I'm worried." Aaliyah spoke up and frowned lightly. She doesn't like the idea of someone corrupting her innocence. Erza would have her head, if she found out that someone corrupting her baby sister. Aaliyah trust Arthur however, she doesn't want to be a burden of him looking after Ruby. "I should probably attend Gotham Academy to watch over-"

"No!" Ruby yelled and Aaliyah looked surprised at her outburst. "I mean- I don't want to become a burden to you! I'm a big girl, Aaliyah!" She forcedly laughs herself and Zara smirked in amused expression.

"Yeah, right! The last time-"

"Zara!" She whacks the halfling of her head and she yelped in pain. "That was a long time ago." Speaking in Japanese that none of them excluding Aaliyah could understand their saying. However, Superboy is not here at Mount Justice because he's going to visit Metropolis to see Superman. Hoping he could teach him some things being normal and controlling his powers.

"Are you really 14, Aaliyah?" Kaldur asks the blonde girl curiously and pleased that she's warming up to them slowly.

"I am." Aaliyah answered and couldn't tell them that she was about to turn 15 back from her home. If the Grimoire Hearts, Magic Council and Acnologia didn't ambush them, they would have finished the S-class Advancement Wizard Exam and celebrate her birthday. "I quite get that a lot for being tall of my age."

"Yeah, no kidding." Robin comments and scoffs. "How did you convince Knight to let Rubina and Zara join?"

"He has no choice but to accept it." She shrugged. "Knight-san saw their potentials and handling it very well despite their age is a bit young to join."

"To think that Zara is 8..." Still grasping the new information. "I can't believe Knight allowed her to join us." He whined and completely understands why Knight allowed them to join being a hero.

"Get used to it." She sighs sadly and feels like surrounded by immature people. Aaliyah missed her family so much and wondering if they're going back to Fiore or staying here forever.

"I'm worried about Superboy." Ruby commented and sighs sadly. "Do you think that Superman is going to help him?"

"I highly doubt that." Zara spoke up bluntly and crossing her arms.

"Why?" M'gann asks the feline cat curiously.

"Superman can't accept Superboy because he is his clone." She answered and stared at Ruby. "Superboy is his clone, however, he needs someone to guide not asking to become his father... but as a mentor to help him control his strength and power."

"I forgot that Kryptonians are hard-headed and stubborn." Ruby pointed out and remembering Caleb told them about his friend. "If only someone could persuade his mind..." Staring at Aaliyah and she frowned at her suggestions.

"No." Aaliyah immediately answered. "I'm not going to persuade Superman."

"Why not!?" Zara exclaimed and looked surprised by her answer. "You can be very persuasive."

"I would not get involve of their problem." She leaves them no arguments of her final decision.

"Coward." She whispered lowly and Kaldur heard her.

"What was that, Zara?" Aaliyah asks her in a dangerous tone while Robin feels sorry for the cat.

"Nothing! Haha..." Zara laughs nervously and hiding behind Ruby's back.

Aaliyah sighs and decided to ignore it. She couldn't understand why Superman won't let him train Superboy because he's a clone. In her eyes, Superboy is more than a clone, he's a person who can forge his own destiny. He just needs someone to guide him that has similar of their origins.

"Recognized: Superboy B04." Zeta tube announced of the visitor and Superboy showed up in his grumpy expression.

"Hi, Superboy." M'gann greeted him with her usual warm smile. "How was Metropolis?" She asks him curiously but he ignored her.

"Ahem!" Someone clearing their throat as they turned around to see Black Canary and Martian Manhunter showed up. "Ready for training, everyone?" Black Canary asks them.

"Black Canary. Uncle J'onn!" She greeted them and hugging her Uncle.

"M'gann." Martian Manhunter greeted his niece warmly. "I was in the neighborhood... so I thought I'd see how you were adjusting."

"A few bumps but I'm learning." She answered and Aaliyah noticed Superboy's envy look of their interaction.

"That's all I can ask." He was pleased seeing his niece is already adjusting to her new home.

"Stick around." Black Canary told them seeing Superboy is about to leave. "Class is in session. I consider it an honor to be your teacher. I'll throw a lot at you... everything I've learned from my own mentors, unh... my own bruises." She removes her blazer and Ruby immediately called one of her celestial spirits.

"Hīrāfokkusu no mon, watashi wa anata o hiraku, (Gate of the healer fox, I open thee, Kurama)." A scarlet magic circle showed up with the fox out of nowhere coming from Ruby's keys.

"Please heal, Black Canary-san, Kurama." Ruby commanded her fox in a soft tone and he mewed in response.

"You don't have to, Rubina." Black Canary assured the young girl.

"It's unfair that you're injured from your mission and going to train us in that state." Aaliyah spoke up and crossing her arms.

"Yeah!" Ruby agreed with the Dragon Slayer. "I know in battle, some of the bad guys played dirty. However, this is training and we don't need to take advantage of your injury."

"We didn't mean to underestimate your abilities, Black Canary-san." She assured her. "We want to spar in fair and square."

"Thank you, Kurama." Black Canary thanked the fox and was surprised how these girls express their feelings for her. Based on their tone, they must've had been through a hard past before. She decided to ask Knight about the three girls.

Kurama mewed and stand right next to her Mistress in case she needs him. Ruby patted his head and mentally thanked of his healing.

"Now, combat is about controlling conflict..." Black Canary started to speak. "Putting the battle on your terms. You should always be acting, never reacting. I'll need a sparring partner." Glancing at Aaliyah, wanting to test out her skills. She observed the three girls, especially on Aaliyah that she relies more on combat skills than powers.

Just as Aaliyah opened her mouth, someone beat her to it. "Right here, yeah." Wally volunteered himself while munching the banana. He approached Black Canary. "After this... swish." Throwing the banana peel on the bin. "I'll show you my moves."

"More like bragging moves to impress someone." Zara muttered and Robin snickered hearing her sarcastic remarks towards Wally.

Black Canary smirked and punch Wally, he blocks it as she swipes his leg on the floor. Ruby cringed of Wally getting down in two moves by Black Canary

"Oh, man. Hurts so good." Wally grunted in pain and Aaliyah shakes her head.

"Good block." Black Canary complimented the yellow speedster. "But did anyone see what he did wrong?" She asks them.

"Ooh!" Robin raises his arm to answer the question. "He hit on teacher and got served?" With a smirk on his face.

"Dude!" Wally exclaimed with an embarrassed look on his face.

"That's not how you answer, Robin." Aaliyah pointed out with a sweatdrop and stared at Black Canary. "He is confident enough to knock you down in a matter of seconds. Wally is acting without thinking straight or formulates a plan to defeat you. In short words, he's more into brash than using his logic."

"Not you too!" He whined and Robins laughs out loud by Aaliyah's point of view about Wally.

"Aaliyah is correct." Black Canary spoke up and couldn't believe she has sharp eyes to observe someone. "He allowed me to dictate the terms of..."

"Oh, please." Superboy scoffs and crossing his arms. "With my powers, the battle's always on my terms. I'm a living weapon and this is a waste of my time"

"I beg to differ, Superboy." Aaliyah spoke up and narrowed her eyes behind her half-mask. "Yes, you're a living weapon. With or without strength or powers, we have limits and face it... you needed this training to control and embrace your strength."

"You know nothing about this, Aaliyah." He glared at the blonde girl. "You're pretty strong enough but not enough to defeat me."

Ruby laughs nervously as she and Zara are hiding behind Kaldur's back. "He needs to think first before saying it." Ruby muttered and clenching on Atlantean's shirt.

"Yeah..." Zara nodded her head. "Remember when Natsu burned her books because of their bickering with Gray?"

"That gives me a nightmare." She whimpered and feels sorry for Superboy.

"What happened to this guy name Natsu?" Robin asks the two girls curiously.

"Aaliyah sends him to the sky and even broke the rooftop by her anger for murdering her precious book." Zara answered and hugging Kaldur's neck which he doesn't mind at all. "She's so scary and like been possessed by a Satan."

Aaliyah narrowed her eyes and approach the platform. "May I spar with Superboy?" She asks calmly and masking her anger.

"Yes, you may." Black Canary answered and couldn't wait to see her spar right now.

She stepped away and Superboy charges at Aaliyah. Aaliyah grabs her fist in one hand and throws him on the wall without moving her feet but only the hands. Robin snickered and Kaldur elbowed the boy wonder, with a look on his face

"Think before you act, Superboy." Aaliyah spoke up and faces the clone. "Channel your emotions-" She throws him behind her back.

"Ouch." Zara whispered and Ruby nodded her head.

"That's it. I'm done!" Superboy slaps Black Canary's hand.

"Training is mandatory." Black Canary told him.

They heard an incoming call as the hologram appeared with Batman's face. "Batman to the cave. Five hours ago... a new menace attacked Green Arrow and Black Canary." He told everyone and showed the picture of an android elf-like. "The attacker was capable... of studying then duplicating the powers and abilities... of its opponents. Arrow called in reinforcements, which nearly proved disastrous... as our foe gained more and more power with each new combatant."

"Whoa, one guy with the powers of the entire League?" Wally asks with a surprised look on their faces.

"In the end, it took nine Leaguers four hours... to defeat and dismantle the android." Batman explained.

"An android? Who made it? T.O Morrow?" Robin asks his mentor curiously.

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

"The technology bears the signature of Professor Ivo." Martian Manhunter spoke up.

"Ivo?" Kaldur questioned. "But Ivo's dead."

"So we all thought. Or hoped." Black Canary answered with a grim look on her face.

"To make certain this threat is permanently neutralized... we're sending two trucks carrying the android's part. To two separate S.T.A.R Lab facilities in Boston and New York... for immediate evaluation. Every precaution is being taken." Batman explained it to the team. "We'll have four additional decoy trucks to create confusion. In case Ivo or anyone tries to recover the remains. You will split into undercover teams to safeguard the two real trucks."

"Yes. Road trip!" Wally yelled happily.

"So now we take out your trash?" Superboy asks coldly towards the Dark Knight.

"You had something better to do?" Batman questioned the clone and he remained silent.

"Coordinates received. On our way." Kaldur informed him.

Litchfield County || August 3, 20:08 EDT ||

Everyone are starting their positions, waiting for the van to start the engine. Celestial is riding behind Robin's back, clearly, she didn't even know how to drive by a motorbike. The Celestial mage couldn't forget Kitsune's warning about her not to use her crystals in case the android is going to revive. She couldn't risk someone copying her abilities for they're going to use it for experiment or worse.

The young girl understands Kitsune is worrying about her well-being and she obeyed her wish. Kitsune is teaming up with, Superboy, Robin, herself and Celestial on going to S.T.A.R Labs in Boston whereas Kid Flash, Aqualad, Miss Martian and Angel are heading towards New York.

"If dislike is the opposite of like, is disaster the opposite of aster?" Robin questioned the clone curiously.

"Please don't destroy the English, Robin." Celestial pleads at the boy wonder as he shakes his hand.

"Sorry, maiden. I couldn't stop it." He smirked as Celestial blushed under her helmet. "See, instead of things going wrong, they go right." Robin, Celestial and Kitsune noticed Superboy's behavior. "Uh, clearly, you're not feeling the aster. What's wrong?"

"Canary." Superboy answered. "What business does she have teaching combat skills... to a guy with super-strength?"

"Taking down stronger guys is part of the gig." Robin answered. "Canary learned that the hard way. Same with Batman, Knight, and, well, me, Celestial, Kitsune and Angel."

Superboy revives his bike to go faster leaving them behind. Kitsune sighs heavily and matching up her speed on Robin. "He still pretty upset about Superman not helping him." Kitsune spoke up.

"You think he's coming around, Kit?" Robin questioned her.

"He will." Kitsune assured him. "Superboy has no choice but accepts Black Canary as our teacher."

"Superboy needs to clear his mind." Celestial commented and Kitsune senses something.

"We've been ambushed." Kitsune answered and heard a familiar voice through their ear comms.

"Robin, Superboy, Celestial and Kitsune. Our truck is under attack." Aqualad informed them.

"Kinda figured." Robin answered sarcastically seeing the robot monkeys are ambushing the van to get their cargo.

"I hate monkeys." Superboy grumbled.

"Robot monkeys. Ha, ha. Totally Ivo's tweaked style." Robin commented and amused about Ivo's style. "Get close to me, Celestial." Celestial did and he switches his bike to battle mode. "Hey, hey. Switch your ride to battle mode, Superboy and Kitsune."

"No point." Superboy answered and throwing the bike towards their direction.

"Or not." Celestial spoke up and yelped as she had been held by Robin's arm to jump off their bike.

Kitsune jumps off the bike and landed safely at the top of the van. She is helping Superboy to fight off the monkeys knowing Robin and Celestial are busy protecting the cargo. She sweeps the monkeys off using her water magic. "Superboy!" Kitsune cried out his name seeing he's been thrown away by the monkeys.

"Kitsune look out!" Celestial warned the Dragon Slayer and Kitsune creates waves to wash them out. "They're too many of them."

"Gah!" The robots flat out the tires and Kitsune looked down on the window to warn the driver. "Get out!" She ordered the man clearly seeing they're been outnumbered.

Kitsune grabs the man to jump off the van whereas Robin carried Celestial in her arms to follow them as well. She sighs and placing the man down gently on the ground. The three of them noticed the cargo was been carried by the robot monkeys. Superboy groans and pushing the van away from him. He growled and pursuit them, ignoring the cries of his teammates.

"That boy..." Kitsune spoke up and sighs heavily.

"Aqualad to Kitsune. We've lost our cargo. Did you...?" Kitsune heard his voice through ear comms.

"It's gone as well." Kitsune answered and sighs heavily. "Superboy pursuit them without us."

Celestial shakes her head of Superboy's stubbornness and ditching his comm. "I think he ditches his comm." Robin told the Atlantean.

"That hothead boy. We can't even track him." Angel grumbled and huffs angrily. "You three are injured?" She asks worriedly.

"Negative." Kitsune answered and grab the robot monkeys head. "Robin-san, can you track Ivo by this monkeys head? Since it's your thing about technologies. The reason why the monkeys know where the real cargo its because the android has a tracking device on it."

Robin hacks it and blinking his eyes behind the shades. "You're a genius, Kit! The monkeys can track the signal. Which means I can track them with the one we captured. Looks like both sets of parts are converging on... Gotham City." He whispered the last part.

"That far South?" Aqualad asks boy wonder curiously. "M'gann and I won't get there any time soon. I'm sending Kid and Angel ahead to meet you guys. Aqualad out."

"What now?" Celestial asks Robin and Kitsune curiously.

Robin presses something on his wrist and sighs seeing the small bike won't be able to fit them. "Definitely a disaster. Heavy on the 'dis'." He sighs heavily. "Rubina, do you have any spirits that could fly and carry us?" Asking the scarlet-haired girl curiously

"Yeah!" Celestial grabs one of her silver keys with the symbol of an eagle. "I haven't contracted this one yet."

"You can do it now." Kitsune spoke up. "You can do the contract later, we're running out of time here."

"You need to contract the spirits first before they lend you a hand?" Robin asks Celestial.

"Yeah." She raises her hands up as scarlet magic circle showed beneath her feet to focus her summoning.

"I am linked to the path to the world of Celestial Spirits, now!"
"O spirit, answer my call and pass through the gate!"
"Gate of the Warrior Bird, I open thee!"
"Sora!"

"Woah!" Robin and Kitsune covered their ears by the loud shriek. A large blue armored eagle covered in armor flapping its wing and standing straight in front of them.

"You summon me, my Master?" Sora asks in a male tone while ignoring Robin's surprised look.

"Yes." Celestial answered and raising her right arm, letting him know she meant no harm or using him as a tool.

Sora leans over her touch and smiles, this young girl is worthy enough to be his Master. He didn't expect she's the holder of the 12 Chinese Zodiac keys. "You have a deep bond between your other spirits."

"Can we do the contract later?" She asks him politely. "We're chasing someone to get the cargo back before someone assembles it."

"As you wish, Master. Climb on." He lowered himself letting the three climb on his back.

"Why don't the three of us change first?" Kitsune suggested and looking at their civilian attire. "After that, you and Robin go on first then I'll be in the back just in case."

Celestial blushed the idea of Robin is going on behind her back. She couldn't understand why her heart beat so fast of him getting so close to her. Could it be she has a crush on him? It is impossible, right? She has secrets the same goes for him. Kitsune, Angel, Knight, Kent Nelson and Saber are the ones who called her 'Ruby' and no one else. She hopes that Robin won't be able to hear her heartbeat or she might get a never-ending teasing from him.

Kid Flash and Angel cried out in surprised to see a giant blue armored eagle heading towards Gotham City. Both of them look surprised to see Robin, Kitsune and Celestial are riding on it.

"So you two changed too?" Robin asks them and completely unfazed of their priceless expression.

"You kidding?" Kid Flash asks the boy wonder while he runs with Angel hugging his neck. "I feel naked in civvies. Where did you get this giant blue eagle?"

"He's my one of spirits." Celestial answered with a proud look on her face. "Sora, the yellow speedster is Kid Flash and the Exceed is Angel. Guys, this is Sora, the Warrior Bird."

"Is that their codenames, Master?" Sora asks curiously and ignoring Kid Flash pale face of him being able to speak.

"Yeah, same with Robin, Kitsune and I." She holds his neck gently. "I'll tell you my identity once the mission is already over."

"Yes, Master." He nodded in understanding knowing this is not the right time to explain everything to him. Not to mention, Sora could tell they're in a different dimension considering their magic is completely different to them.

"At least you have Sora to carried you guys." Angel pointed out and letting go Kid Flash to head over Kitsune.

"No kidding." Kid Flash couldn't help but agree with her. "Still tracking the parts?"

"They were heading through Gotham. But they veered." Robin answered and tracking the android. "Wait. Dude, they're at my- I mean Rubina's school." He cried out and almost blurting out his secrets.

"Doesn't matter which school you are attending, Robin." Kitsune spoke up. "Right now, we need to go their as soon as possible."

"Kid Flash, climb on." Sora told him and he didn't even hesitate to sit behind Kitsune. "Robin, tell me the directions. We can get there in less than five seconds."

"Right after 1.6 miles, turn left and you could see Gotham Academy, Sora." Robin answered.

"Hold on everyone!" His body glowed blue and a huge blue magic circle appeared showed in front of him. "Kaze no haya-sa! (Speed of the wind)!" It became blurred to everyone leaving a blue streak behind.

Everyone excluding Kitsune scream in a surprise of his sudden speed. It's like no one could match this extremely speed especially with the speedsters going to have a race with him. They are surprised at his abilities and suddenly tackled the android before he could smash Superboy.

"Hurting someone is a serious crime!" He stands right in front of the clone.

The five of them jumps off the spirit bird. Celestial was surprised that he didn't damage of destroying the Gotham Academy by his speed. The scarlet-haired girl thanked Sora and send him back to the spirit world.

"You have a weird, spirit, Cel." Kid Flash commented and Celestial sweatdropped.

Robin throws explosive disk towards the android. "Martian Manhunter." He copied Martian's ability density shifting to let through the disk. "Access Red Tornado." The android uses the tornado to attack them.

"U~ōtādoragon: Gōon! (Water dragon: Roar!)" Aaliyah uses her water to crash him towards the bench.

"Spread out!" Angel yelled and they went in a different direction. 

Robin throws explosive disk at the android but it dodges and grabs Angel's tail to toss her like a fly. "Access: Superman." It grabs Superboy's fist and throwing him towards the young scarlet-haired girl's directions.

"Kid Flash!" Kitsune cried out his name seeing the yellow speedster getting crushed by the androids deathly grip.

An arrow appeared towards Android's direction. "Martian Manhunter." It quickly let go Kid Flash and avoiding getting hit by that arrow. "Access: Black Canary." Giving a canary cry towards Superboy and Angel.

Kitsune charges at Android but it grabs her leg throwing her towards Robin. She groaned and apologize the boy wonder as he waved it off.

"Ph, yawn. Normally, Amazo would study and mimic your abilities during the battle." The petite Professor Ivo yawned. "But what's the point? You're all such poor copies of the originals. Shame that the nine-tailed fox and the red-haired girl didn't show their true potentials."

"I'll show you the potentials, midget." Kitsune grumbled and walked towards Android slowly but close enough to see it. "Channel that anger, Superboy. Once I freeze him." She raises her left hand forward while her right is backward forming into a fist. Blue magic circle showed in front of her as the temperature begins to drop.

"Celestial." Angel grabs her back and flies to Ivo's directions.

"Take this!" Celestial using her twin fan to strike him but Ivo dodges it with his robot monkey.

"Amazo! Priority Alpha!" Ivo cried out his android.

"Not on my watch!" Kitsune spoke up. "Doragonsureiyā no himitsu no geijutsu: Konton no burizādo (Dragon Slayer's Secret Art: Blizzard of chaos!)" She trapped the android by her blizzard. "Kid Flash and Robin, assist the girls to capture Ivo. Superboy, now!" She yelled.

"Analyzing... analyzing... unable to upload." The Android tried to copy Kitsune's abilities but it won't allow it while it's body starting to freeze.

"What!?" Ivo looked surprised how his android won't copy Kitsune's ability. "Doesn't matter! Capture her alive and I need her for my experiment."

"You're sick!" Celestial spat angrily. "I won't let you harm her!" Throwing the twin fans and the robot monkeys defending its master while Robin and Kid Flash helps the girls.

Super punches the android's head making it shut down the system. Kitsune sighs in relief and waving her hand to melt the ice. Unlike Natsu, she can able to make her ice or water disappeared whereas he can't be stopped by his fire. The Fire Dragon Slayer is more into destroying things while Water Dragon Slayer can either destroy or not the things.

"Help me disassemble him. Now!" Robin commanded them seeing Superboy and Kitsune finally manage to stop the android.

"Dude, the guy has no head." Kid Flash told the boy wonder while holding his broken arm.

"Don't take any chance." They turned around to see Aqualad and Miss Martian decided to join them.

"He's right." Kitsune spoke up and wants to drink plenty of water using one of the powerful spells. "Better be safe than sorry."

"Superboy, are you all right?" Miss Martian asks the clone worriedly and holding his left arm to support him up.

"I'm fine." Superboy assured the Martian girl. "Feeling the aster." Robin and Kitsune smiled.

"Hey, where's Ivo?" Kid Flash noticed the Professor is missing.

"He's gone." Angel spoke up and couldn't smell him anymore. "So as the robot monkeys."

"Don't bother checking the perimeter." Kitsune spoke up seeing Aqualad's face. "We couldn't find him now since he's far enough in our reach. Let's disassemble the parts."

Robin, Angel and Kitsune are disassembling the parts while Celestial summons her spirits to treat Kid Flash and Superboy's wound. They finally manage to stop the android. However, it makes Robin wonder why Kitsune is holding up her strength, especially Celestial as well. Why can't the two girls show their true strength? Only time will tell when they are going to tell them.

"The Amazo android is in piece again... safely being analyzed at the two separate S.T.A.R Labs." Aqualad reports it to the Batman after they succeeded the mission and went back to Mount Justice. "But Ivo escaped."

"Since he originated the tech... he's arguably more dangerous than the android." Kitsune spoke up and hiding the fact the android couldn't copy her abilities.

"Capturing the Professor will be a League priority." Black Canary informed them.

"But we understand your mission encountered other complications." Martian Manhunter pointed out and seeing their exchange glances.

"Complications come with the job." Batman spoke up and approached them. "Your ability to handle them has impressed the League."

"The whole League?" Superboy asks the Dark Knight.

"Given time, yes. Kryptonians, as you know, have very hard heads." He commented and Aaliyah smiled mentally. "Of course, there's no shame in asking for help. That's why the League's exists. Because there are some problems even we can't handle individually."

"Please." Robin scoffs loudly. "If we needed help, we'd never get the chance to ask. Look familiar?" He showed them the arrow and handed it to Batman. "You were following us. Babysitting. You still don't trust us."

"We didn't follow you." Batman spoke up and handing the arrow to Green Arrow to examine his own arrow compared to this one.

"And that's not your arrow." He looked surprised and Aaliyah remained silent. "But that means..."

"Speedy!" Wally exclaimed happily.

"He has our backs." Kaldur spoke up and pleased that his friend is helping them. 

Aaliyah frowned behind her half-mask while Angel masking her confused expression. Both of them could smell the scent of the mysterious female archer at the Gotham Academy before she disappeared. Based on Batman and Green Arrow's look, they could tell that arrow is not Speedy's but someone else instead.

"Souvenir." Kid Flash grabs the arrow from Green Arrow's grasp.

Aaliyah shakes her head and looked relief seeing Superboy is letting Black Canary train him. She stared at Ruby who's busy chatting with M'gann and Zara. Sensing someone is staring at her, she looks at her side to see Aqualad is observing Aaliyah. She smiled at the Atlantean and he returned the gesture. It wouldn't hurt so bad to team up with these people.
