《Aden Strong: Avatar In DC》Taking Flight
Advertisement
(General P.O.V)
Robin bent his knees as the alarm went off. Suddenly, he sprang forward, his feet barely losing balance on the rolling log as he ran on it. He heard the cheers from the rest as he ran on towards the next obstacle that was a wall with two pegs that went onto slots, which you used to climb.
His hands seamlessly used the throttle pegs to climb, not even once did his feet touch the wall. He pulled himself over it and jumped, landing on the ground gently, rolling and then using the momentum to add speed for the 20 feet high warped wall.
He heard Wally ask if he would make it and Robin smiled. This was easy compared to the training he had gone through. Robin's legs pumped as his feet pushed off the wall to grasp it's top and then he used his hands to not only pull himself up but to also throw himself further, leading to him grasping the rope and swinging to the next platform.
"Ok that's cool."
Aden admitted. Before the Blockbuster formula, throttle pegs always gave him trouble. Aden watched on as Robin completed the rest of the obstacles and ended up with the second fastest time.
"21 seconds."
Aden said pressing on the timer.
"What! No way!"
Wally came over to see for himself.
"He beat you Wally. Just accept it. He beat us all too except for Aden."
Kaldur told him.
In last place was Superboy, who had been disqualified when he got frustrated at the Fly wheel and smashed the rolling plates. Next place was Kaldur at 25 seconds, then Wally at 22 seconds and finally Aden held the record at 19 seconds. M'gann had refused saying it wouldn't be fair because she would just fly past all the obstacles.
Unsurprisingly, Robin was frustrated that he didn't beat Aden. However, after learning that Aden was at the obstacle course every day, he chalked it up to him being more familiar with the obstacles and promised he would beat his record.
The team were enjoying themselves, when Red Tornado's voice rang through the gym's PA system.
"Red Tornado to team. An emergency alert has been triggered at the power plant. I'm sending you there to investigate. Covertly."
He added.
"Finally, a mission."
Robin said as they ran out of the training room.
"How are you guys going to get there? Maybe I should scout ahead?"
Wally asked, his googles coming on.
"No need, we can all use M'gann's ship."
Aden told them.
"Hello Megan! Of course, follow me."
Miss Martian took a turn and the rest fell right behind her. They soon came upon her red oval craft.
"It's…aah cute? Not aerodynamic but definitely cute."
"She's asleep Wally. Lemme wake her up."
The ship transformed upon Miss Martian's touch and they entered. They took their seats and Miss Martian controlled the ship towards the huge bay doors that were now open, courtesy of Red Tornado.

Robin reached in to the sleeve of his jacket and pulled out his yellow utility belt.
"You had that the whole time?"
Wally asked.
"Yeah just like you had your googles with you."
"Touche'."
"So what do you guys think it is?"
Wally asked looking around at the rest. They were already approaching the Power Plant in question.
"A huge ass Tornado heading our way?"
Aden responded.
"What?"
Wally's question was answered when he looked through the wind shield of the ship and saw the Tornado in question.
"Miss Martian, pull back!"
Aqualad said in urgency but it was too late, the Ship was sucked into the Tornado, disorienting everyone. By a stroke of luck, Miss Martian took advantage of the Tornado's motion to pull away by accelerating forward suddenly.
The ship landed safely and they all jumped out.
"So what's the…" Aden cut his statement short when he caught sight of Robin trying to sneak away. "Oh no you don't Robin."
Everyone turned to stare at the Boy Wonder, whose sleeve was gripped in Aden's hand. Robin chuckled.
"I was just going to scout ahead. You guys come up with the plan, I'll work with you."
He then pulled on his sleeve and ran forward.
"Same with me. You guys come up with the plan"
Wally said and sped off
"So what's the plan?"
Miss Martian asked. The rest looked at each other and shrugged, running after their missing teammates.
Several Tornados had sprang up around the parking lot sending people screaming and stationary objects like the vehicles flying. Aden's speed picked up and Superboy pulled up next to him.
Miss Martian flew on ahead to block a vehicle about to fall on a few workers hiding behind another car.
"Get out of here."
Aden shouted at them unraveling the tornado aimed at their position.
Aqualad and Superboy ran forward into the building, leaving Aden and Miss Martian to get the civilians out of the scene.
(Aden's P.O.V)
I remembered this particular villain encounter pretty well. A villain called, Mr. Twister. He possessed Red Tornado's abilities and was very proficient in using them. It wouldn't be an easy fight. After helping the civilians to escape, I went to the back of the building to see if any more people needed help. I cleared that area as well and ran inside.
"Whoa."
I jumped to the side to avoid colliding with Wally's body, after he was thrown out through the entrance. My hands came up and I pulled apart the tornado coming at high velocity towards me.
"You possess Aerokinetic abilities. Commendable use but that will not help you."
Came the robotic voice of the android floating out of the building. Twin tornados came at me from both sides. I swept out my hand and the gale produced, fanned out in a voluminous wave, pushing the tornados away from me.

I ran forward and jumped at the Android. He pointed his hands at me and an airbomb exploded out of my palm, aimed up at the sky. The force of the wind pushed me to the ground faster and I avoided the tornado above.
The android quickly brought his hands down at my position to bombard me with the tornado still firmly in his control. I tried to unravel it like before but the force this time was greater and I was thrown back.
I controlled the air in the surrounding to land safely on the ground next to Kid Flash.
"He got you too huh?"
"Not really. I couldn't get close to him though."
I quickly helped Kid Flash up while watching our opponent.
"Any idea Kid?"
"Yeah. Hit him faster than he can react to then you blast him with an air bomb or your new strength."
I nodded. It was more than I had. Plus, I wanted to extend the fight a bit longer. I felt…I felt like I was at the cusp of something. Kid Flash sped off suddenly, leaving behind afterimages in his wake, I slid forward too, moving like a snake as I used the air to make minute changes to my steps in hope of confusing the enemy.
"All your efforts are futile."
Kid flipped and dug both his feet on the android's Torso.
"That's what you think but frankly, nobody asked you!"
The Android took a step back and pushed Kid away with a blast of air. My hand was already in motion when I saw the streaks of electric energy running down the Android's limbs. I pushed Kid Flash away and the electric bolts slammed onto the ground, unearthing the soil.
I took the chance while the Android's hands were overextended and slammed a fist with swirling air around it for speed and power onto his chest. He flew away towards a charging Superboy.
"Go to hell!"
Superboy slammed into Mister Twister's back and sent him spinning away.
Birdarangs shot through the air and an explosion followed after they made contact. The fight reminded me of the Blockbuster one. I couldn't help but note just how well we worked together. Maybe we could win this…
No sooner had that thought crossed my mind when I found myself twisting uncontrollably through the air. My clothes smoked as a electric current ran through my body, making my muscles seize up in pain. I slammed onto the wall of the building and left a crack as my body slumped to the ground.
"Maelstrom!"
Miss Martian cried out in worry.
"I'm okay Miss Martian. Concentrate on the fight!"
"No more games!"
The Android shouted from a far as my mind struggled to concentrate on the fight. I had just taken his lightning strikes point blank.
"Hello Megan! Mister Twister is Red Tornado!"
Miss Martian said confidently while I slowly got up.
" How many Androids do you know that can create tornados?"
Everyone stopped what they were doing. My face turned ugly in anger.
"What is wrong with you! He's not Red Tornado. Tornado would never put people in harm's way for any reason."
I could see as realization dawn on their faces. Unfortunately it was already too little too late.
"You think I'm Tornado? Let me prove you wrong!"
A sudden Tornado sprang up near Kid Flash. This Tornado was different. More aggressive and bigger. I stumbled forward in my burnt up clothes and tried to take control of the air. I stretched out a hand and felt… something. My hand stalled for just a brief second. I wish it hadn't.
There was a cry of pain as Kid Flash was thrown away and smacked across a tree. An audible crack! rang out and everyone's eyes widened as Wally's leg bent the wrong way. Wally's breathing picked up, while his body shook both in pain and in surprise. The fight stopped.
"Just like children you also get distracted too easily."
The android said while laughing.
"Robin, Aqualad watchout!"
Two twin tornados sprang up under both teens and swung them around. I knew Mister Twister's plan from the get go. Wally was out of the fight and Superboy? He took a running leap at the Android but the same lightning shock I had been hit with, slammed him into the ground. He was still trying to get out of the groove his body had made.
Miss Martian tried to pelt the android with trees and whatever else was lying around but the harsh winds surrounding him were too much. No. This fight was mine. Wally was hurt because of me. This Android was turning to scrap metal!
Earlier I had felt something when I had connected with the tornado in his control. The air had leaped in excitement at my touch. That's when I realized I had crossed through the threshold. I didn't need to look at the system to see I was firmly in the Master level.
My hand rose up and I pulled. Every tornado in the area dispersed. Aqualad and Robin landed on the ground as they turned to me.
"I'll handle Mister Twister while you guys come up with a plan."
I said running forward past them.
"Handle me? I…"
He started.
"Shut up you scrap metal. Time for you to get your can kicked."
I relished the look of awe and surprise as the wind carried my form upwards and I shot off into air in the classic Superman pose. There was no warning as I plowed into the Android at high speeds.
"He can fly now!"
Robin shouted. Yes, Boy Wonder. I could fly now.

Phantom Storm
"Have you heard, the entire Bonanno crew was brutally murdered!" Exclaimed a youth in his early teens. "What? you're lying, again!" Another similarly aged child responded with crisp denial in his tone. After all, the crew was infamous for their ruthlessness. An eery silence passed between them. Soon enough, the teens' curiosity trumped his ego, and he found himself inquiring in a meek voice. "So...Who did it?" "I heard my father talking about it while he was drunk. Guess what he said?..." The child responded, he was a natural-born storyteller. Listening intently, the other teen urged him on. "It was done by a single person. When the police arrived, the bodies were charred black, likely the work of an electro mage. Most had an arrow or two lodged in their body, and a few were even chopped into neat little slices by a sharp blade." He paused, inhaling sharply. "All the victims had shocked expressions on their faces. As if the enemy was invisible or something. That's why they call that person the Phantom Storm!" concluded the adolescent with an excited glint in his eyes. 2 CHAPTERS PER WEEK (Canada time) [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] -------------------------------------------- Follow Itsuki as he is reincarnated in an unfamiliar world, left to discover where he belongs in such a place.
