Young Justice/Avengers: Season 1

Welcome to Happy Harbor

Star City Docks; July 17th; 23:16 PDT

In the cover of the night, two people are unloading a truck. As they remove the first, long, flat container, an arrow drops between the two. Red fletching showing off and the nock blinks bright red before releasing gas. The gas knocks the two to the ground and the container goes flying, popping open to reveal a high-tech gun. The gun slides to the feet of one of their associates, Daniel Brickwell, aka Brick, takes aim, the barrel gaining three red streaks. He looks at the construction set up over his head, finally zeroing in on Speedy, who has completely ditched his hat.

Brick: You again? I'm starting to get insulted that Green Arrow's not messing up my operations personally. (Narrows his eyes as he aims for Speedy).

The ex-protégé dives right grabbing onto the next support column, just barely staying in front of the shots. As Brick shoots at the bridge he nearly grabbed, he drops down a level and runs across the bridge. Brick shoots in front of the young archer, who changes his momentum so he could flip and nock an arrow and releases it. Shooting the arrow right down the barrel, causing it to explode in Brick's hand, even shredding his suit.

Brick: Do you know what I pay for a suit my size?! (Looks towards his other henchmen) Scorch the Earth, boys.

The five raise their guns to do that, but a blur comes through and two of them are suddenly left weaponless. One of them was grabbed by the back of his hood and Ant-Man grew back and threw him over his shoulder hitting the ground. The last two aim at him, only for their guns to be knocked out of their hands. Robin swings into an opening in the crates with his happy cackle bringing their attention to Aqualad. The Atlantean drops down with his water-bearers turning into whips which hit the smugglers in full force. This knocks them into the back of the truck and to the ground, unconscious.

Brick lifts a chunk of concrete and throws it at Speedy, who is using the crates to his advantage as he waits to strike with his already nocked arrow. He comes to a stop, bracing himself in a downward diagonal with his foot on one of the crates as he launches an arrow that explodes as it hits Brick's massive shoulder. It doesn't stop him from throwing another piece of concrete at Speedy. However, this time Speedy jumps out of the way, nocking another arrow as Iron Man flies where Speedy was and uses a unibeam to destroy the concrete, giving Speedy an opening to hit Brick with a gas arrow.

Aqualad: (Drops down next to Iron Man) The cave is perfect. It has everything the team will need.

Robin: (Drops down behind Speedy with Ant-Man) For covert missions. You know, spy stuff.

Kid Flash: (Runs up the crates and lands just shy of the edge) And wait till you see Superboy and Miss Martian. But I saw her first.

Iron Man: Again just because you react faster with super speed doesn't mean that you saw her first. Also don't forget, we got the new Captain America on the team after we unfroze him.

Robin: Oh yeah. He was Captain America's old partner before Captain America formed the JSA.

The gas wasn't enough to take out Brick, which is made clear as he lets loose another war cry and throws another piece of concrete at the conversing teens. Speedy, Robin, Ant-Man, and Kid Flash all dodge, but Aqualad remains firmly. Iron Man shoots the concrete with both of his repulsors and destroys it. Speedy fires three arrows that stick to Brick's chest and releases three small explosions to knock him back. They didn't affect him as much and he just chuckles.

Brick: Tell Arrow he shouldn't send boys to do a man's job.

Speedy nocks an arrow and takes aim. Brick stands tall with his arms wide out.

Brick: Go ahead.

Speedy grinds his teeth as he shoots the arrow. The arrow hits him and does nothing for a moment, then foam releases from the capsule that was stuck to Brick and traps him in it.
