I wrote some more (probably non-canon) stuff. B)
I never really got the appeal of writing Sue-Fiction, and told myself I would never do that for a serious story, but seeing as how this isn't mine, and it probably won't be canon, I decided to have a bit of fun. Terry's got gamebreakers in the form of his Mother Box anyway.
I guess I can see why so many people write Sue fanfics. It's pretty fun to see a hero with a ton of advantages totally roflstomp his opposition. It has to be done in moderation of course, the hero needs to eat dirt often to make up for it, but I can see why a lot of people fall into making that mistake. Making their heroes bigger than life, with no flaws is really appealing.
ôIÆve decided, this is a total disaster,ö Robin calmly declared as his fingers furiously tapped at the holo panel on top of his left wrist.
ôNo, you think?ö Kid Flash howled.
ôHey Boy Wonder, canÆt you do anything about the missiles everywhere around us? Oh man, I really donÆt want to die here,ö Artemis shrieked.
öIÆm trying as hard as I can Artemis, but BialyaÆs upped their missile security grid. IÆve just broken the fifth layer, and as far as I can tell, IÆve got at least four more to go.ö
Artemis glanced at their stoic Kryptonian friend and opened her mouth before slamming it shut at the sight of his hands nearly ripping off his handrests.
ôAll of you, calm down!ö Kaldur ordered, barely a hitch in his voice. ôThe situation is critical, but with the right focus and plan, we will come out alive.ö
The team flinched as one as a missile detonation shuddered the Bio-ShipÆs frame.
ôMiss Martian, perhaps you couldàö Aqualad trailed off when he noticed MÆGannÆs eyes glaring balefully at him as she tried to find a clear path to safety.
ôThese are perfect stealth upgrades yeah team? Batman sure did a bang-up job when he installed them,ö Artemis vented.
ôYou gonna tell him that when we see him again?ö Kid Flash asked, his fingers drumming into the Bio-Ship.
ôY-yeah. Of course,ö Artemis lied.
RobinÆs hand quit tapping on his holo panel momentarily as he looked on in shock. ôThatÆs bad.ö
ôWhatÆs bad?ö Aqualad asked, feeling his stomach sink.
ôThey just launched fighters.ö
ôAh. That is bad.ö
ôAre we dead? Am I allowed to say that now?ö Kid Flash asked.
The teamÆs death seemed imminent when as far as they could tell, four missiles hot on their trailed detonated behind them harmlessly.
ôRobin, yeah! Nice going!ö Kid Flash whooped.
ôWasnÆt me,ö the Boy Wonder muttered.
ôOkayà then who was it?ö
ôMÆGannÆs eyes blazed even brighter before she said her first words since the start of the debacle. ôTo our right!ö
All of the team craned their necks only to see a blur of displaced air zoom past and two fighers erupting into flames.

ôJust making sure, they were drones right?ö Terry asked the Mother Box. It chirped an affirmative and Terry banked into a sharp turn before triggering his camo system for a few seconds to lose radar lock.
Toggling the active camouflage system on and off so frequently normally played hell on the carÆs power supply, but with Mother Box concentrating, refining, and acting as a secondary generator for the car, itÆs reactor stayed stable despite the pressure Terry was putting on it.
It had been a stroke of luck that Terry was even in the region at all. HeÆd been reading from some classified files the Mother Box had lifted from the Justice League archives when heÆd come across mention of alien technology discovered in Bialya. Mother Box had noted the similarities to New Genesis circuitry, and had taken a chance to see if there were any remnants he could claim. HeÆd only just entered the country when Mother Box had ripped apart the encryptions of the Bialyan military and jammed the reports of intruders in his face.
He eased up on the accelerator and lazily drifted to the Martian Bio-ShipÆs side, turning off his active camo as he did so. He dipped his wings in an attempt to ask them to follow him. The youths hesitantly followed, taking any port in a storm, as he led the way out of the country. Mother Box dutifully locked out the Bialyans from their own controls while his point defense laser systems casually shot down whatever missiles were left in the air.
TerryÆs first batmobile had never been equipped with lasers, but during the Anti-MonitorÆs invasion, Bruce had dropped any and all pretenses of playing fair with criminals and had built a brand new car with the same frame, but with as much advantages the old manÆs cunning mind would allow due to the unparalleled threat. Kryptonian crystals interlaced the entire car, giving TerryÆs cybernetic suit unparalleled control and a slight flexibility to the airframe. HeÆd added space capabilities along with atmospheric reentry capabilities, upped the safety speed to Mach Five in atmosphere, emergency levels even higher, and had used heat resistant materials taken from the Oans themselves. Those were just the tip of iceberg when it came to the carÆs new capabilities. It wasnÆt a space superiority fighter by any means, but with BardaÆs Mother Box, its FTL capabilities were more than acceptable.
He still missed it though. Admittedly, disabling all safety protocols on its quantum reactor, strapping anti-matter bombs, and a delayed singularity encased in a time-locked pocket dimension, before bum rushing the batmobile into the Anti-MonitorÆs fortress, and escaping by the skin of his teeth with a Boom Tube had been a worthy death for his old car, but its loss still stung.
He waited until he could saw they out of Bialyan airspace before triggering his camo one last time and zoomed back into the hostile country. He still had a job to do after all.

ôSo yeah. Mission failure?ö Kid Flash asked.
ôWhile we have failed our primary mission, we have first hand knowledge of a new vigilante,ö Aqualad cautiously allowed.
Artemis leaned back into her seat before asking ôDo we even know if that was a good guy? I mean, sure he helped us out, but we donÆt know a thing about that machine or its pilot. There was a pilot, right?ö she asked Miss Martian.
Embarrassed at the sudden attention, the alien girl blushed before admitting that she hadnÆt been able to pick up any thoughts. She hastily added that didnÆt mean there was no one there or the odd plane had been remote controlled. She said it felt more like the machine was encased in some sort of psyk-resistant bubble.
Superboy relieved MÆgann of her worries about her skills, daring any of the team to say otherwise before nodding his head in approval when no one said anything.
Defeated, the young team of heroes flew back to Mount Justice, each lost in their own thoughts.
ôNo, you think?ö Kid Flash howled.
