Schooled: 

Audrey's POV
Dad and I were home in the kitchen making smoothies. The blender mixed up the ingredients until we had perfect strawberry kiwi smoothies. We were about to take a sip when dad's communicator went off. He carried it everywhere he went. It was like a phone. It vibrated when he was at work and in public areas, and it rang out when he was home or with the Justice League. "A accident made the Metropolis bridge unstable, we need to go." Dad said. "Aw! I didn't get to finish my smoothie!" I whined running to my room. I changed into my Superhero costume and met up with my dad. We both nodded ad flew off towards the bridge. 

When we arrived bridge cables laid broken across the bridge. "Dad the support beams!" I yell pointing to them. "Good job!" He yelled we both flew to the beams. I used all my strength to hold the rubble up while my dad used his heat vision to weld the beam back together. We flew off to fix another beam when another cable came loose. "Go and stop that cable from smashing anything, then help the civilians off the bridge!" Dad yelled. I nodded and flew off. The cable came oh so close to hitting the ground when I caught it. I gently carried it down and laid it on the bridge. I saw a couple getting out of their car. I flew over and helped them. They ran off the bridge. Suddenly a huge thud was heard. The bridge shook and I saw Superboy. "Hi Superboy! Can you go and save that school bus? There are kids inside!" I shout. He nods and runs to the bus. I continue helping others get out of their cars. Soon everyone is off the bridge. I look over and saw Superboy pulling the bus up from falling. But it hits a bump and it almost crashes. But my dad saves it. Superboy and Superman stand in front of each other. Uh oh. I flew to the bus and landed. "I had that." Superboy said glaring. "I didn't want to take the chance. As it is, your landing could have destabilized the entire bridge." Superman said. "Dad, it didn't!" I say. "Not now." Superman said. He turned back to Superboy, "we don't know the limits of your powers." Superman said. "W-well, maybe you could, you know, help me figure that out?" Superboy asked. "Batman's got that covered." Superman said. "Are you kidding me!? Superboy wants help! You helped me!" I yell. "This is not the time. Go home. I'll be there shortly." Dad said getting a little angered. "Sorry Superboy, he's being stubborn." With that I flew away home. I pass Wayne Tech and head home. But instead of heading home, I take a detour to Happy Harbor. I head for Mount Justice. I enter the cave to see Robin sitting at the kitchen island. He hears me coming and turns around. "Hey Supergirl!" He grins and waves. "Hi." I say with hardly and enthusiasum. I sit on a chair next to him. "Ok, something's up. I've known you for too long." Robin said. I turn to him. "You really want to know?" I ask. He nods his head. I stand out of my chair and I begin to rant. "Why!! Why is he so stubborn!!! All Superboy want is for him to be his mentor! To help him! But nooo!! He doesn't care! No! And every time I say something on the matter he stops talking to me! Superman just needs to realize that Superboy is his son!!! My half brother! I've always wanted a sibling so I wouldn't be alone all of the time! Ugh! He is so hard headed!" I rant. Robin takes in every word. "Hey, I suggest you wait it out. I'm sure he will come around sometime. And if your ever in need of a friend, I'm just a zeta beam away. Remember?" Robin said smiling. I hug him, "Thanks Dick." I whisper. "Anytime, now come on, training is starting in like five minutes." He said. I sigh and we walk to the training room. We find Aqualad and Kid Flash playing air hockey on a holographic air hockey table. Miss Martian stood watching. We do the same and see Kid Flash score. Then we heard the computerized voice, "Recognized, Superboy B04." The zeta beam lit up and Superboy walked out. It was clear that he was angry. "Hi Superboy!" M'Gann said.  I decided to talk, "Hey Superboy, I-" Superboy walked through the game shutting it off. "Don't talk to me." He said to me. I look down. I feel Robin put a hand on my shoulder. I look up at him. He gives me a look that said, 'Are you okay?' I nod. Soon Black Canary ad Martian ManHunter walk in. "Ready for training?" She asks. "Black Canary! Uncle J'ohnn!" Miss M said. M'Gann runs up and gives her uncle a hug. "M'Gann, I was in the neighborhood so I thought I'd see how you were adjusting." Martian ManHunter said. "A few bumps, but I'm learning." She said. "That's all I can ask." Martian ManHunter said. "Stick around, class is in session." Black Canary said. We look to see Superboy headed for his room. He turns around and stops. Black Canary walked to the center of the training area and activated the training area. It now glowed white. "I consider it an honor to be your teacher. I'll throw a lot at you." She said taking off her jacket. "Everything I learned from my own mentors. Ah-" Black Canary winced. "What happened?" Miss M asked. "The job." BC said. "Now, combat is about controlling conflict, putting the battle on your terms. You should always be acting, never reacting. I'll need a sparing partner." BC said. KF raised his hand. His mouth full with banana. "Right here!" He said. I rolled my eyes. He stepped forward. He threw his banana Ito the trash, "After this, I'll show you my moves." He said smirking. Ugh eew. Black Canary smirked evilly and punched, Kid Glash blocked it, but she quickly took him out with a swish kick from the floor. Kid Flash was on his back, a hologram saying "Kid Flash Status: Fail." "Ooh. Hurts so good." KF said. "Good block, but did anyone see what he did wrong?" BC asked. "Ooh ooh! He hit on teacher and got served?" Robin asked. "Dude!" Kid Flash said. Robin and I both started into a fit of laughter. "He allowed me to dictate the terms." BC said. We stopped laughing. "Oh please, with my powers, the battles always on my terms. I'm a living weapon. And this is a waste of my time." Superboy said. Uh oh. Again. "Prove it." Balck Canary said smirking. She totally just called out Superboy! Superboy walked up and got into a fighting stance. They both attacked, and Superboy was knocked onto his back faster that Kid Flash. Robin started laughing until I elbowed him in the side. He covered his moth to stifle his laughter. Superboy got up and he looked angry. "Good, your angry, but don't react. Channel that anger into-" BC started but was cut off when Superboy launched himself and yelled. He attacked and BC took him down once more. Robin starts chuckling again. "That's it! I'm done!" Superboy said standing up. "Training is mandatory." BC said. Before Superboy could do anything Batman appeared on a holographic computer. "Batman to the cave. Five hours ago, a new menace attacked Green Arrow and Black Canary." Batman said. A holographic picture pulled up on the attacker. He was huge! "That attacker was capable of studying and duplicating the powers and abilities of his opponents. Arrow called in reinforcements which nearly proved disastrous as our foe gained more and more power with each new combatant." Batman said. We were all shocked. "Whoa, one guy with the powers of the entire league." KF said. "In the end, it took eight leaguers four hours to defeat and dismantle the android." Batman said. That thing was an android? "An android? W-who made it? T. O. Morrow?" Robin asked. "Good guess Robin. But Red Tornado doesn't think so." Batman said. "The technology bears the signature of Professor Ivo." Martian ManHunter said. "Ivo? But Ivo's dead." I said. "So we all thought. Or hoped." BC said. "To make certain this threat is permanently neutralized, we're sending two trucks carrying the androids parts to two separate S.T.A.R. Labs facilities in Boston and New York for I meditate evaluation. Every precaution is being taken. 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." Batman said. "Yes! Road trip!" KF said. "So now we take out your trash?" Superboy asked. Batman glared at him. "Do you have anything better to do?" Batman asked with a rhetorical question. Aqualad looked at his communicator. "Coordinates received. On our way." Aqualad said. We all ran to the garage to get the motorcycles.
