The Boys

Right, so they'd found out the deal from that...really weird stuttery kid. Blah blah sentient spaceship blah blah abducted from different worlds, and then the important part: No aliens. That made the whole...superheroing, defeating them, and getting home thing a lot harder. (And Kon, in particular, REALLY needed to get home. Actually, so did Bart. World-saving things had been going on).

In the meantime, there were other people here, and it'd be good to meet them. So Superboy, Impulse, and Robin were in Obs Deck, mingling with the other people there and whatnot.

Come on, come all, and get one, two, or all three while they're hot. (Which was always, in Kon's case, as far as he was concerned).

"Any other superheroes up in this ugly mother--" Wait, that AI thingy might get pissed off. "--ship? Mothership?" he called out as soon as they entered.

"Aaah!"

That was at Toxin. Teeth! Teeth!

"Robin, Impulse--alien!"

Dinosaur dude...was a dinosaur dude. He'd seen weirder (like Animal People, for instance) and hell, he was possibly in danger right now. Toothy guy had to be their guy.

Kon flew at the alien to throw a punch. "This may sound a little familiar, but take us to your leader!"

Before he could throw the punch, an energy tentacle appeared from nowhere and slammed him into the wall. Hard. The force would've shattered the ribcage of an average person.

||Kon-El, cease and desist violent action towards your podmates immediately. This is your only warning. Further attempts will result in Violations. 15 Violations results in Punishment.||

Tim rolled his eyes a little behind the mask and moved toward Kon. "That was stupid," he said flatly. "Didn't we already ascertain that the 'bad guys' aren't around?"

"Teeth! No one with that many giant, pointy teeth is up to any good!"

Kon squirmed, but Stacy wasn't letting him go yet.

Toxin automatically bared his teeth-more than they were already bared; at least-and got into a fighting position. But once he saw his attacker get smacked, he relaxed slightly and glanced to Robin.

Kon got a snarl in his direction.

Okay. A Human had just lifted and flown at Toxin, screaming something about evil aliens. A tentacle had formed from nothing in particular and was now pinning said human to the wall after knocking him aside with the force of a speeder.

This...this was a lot to take in, even for Red. But aside from the one screaming Human, everyone seemed remarkably calm about it all. Unfortunately, the calm did nothing to help form words.

"That...He-" A series of irritated clicks and chirps came from Red's throat. "Humans can not fly!"

Tim gritted his teeth. "Just because he has a lot of teeth does not make him evil, Kon."

He turned toward the guy with all the teeth. "He can't help himself--" he shot another glare at Kon. "He's only six."

"Yes they can," Kon shot back to the dino guy with an implied 'duh.'

Lots of people flew.

To Robin, he responded, "It probably makes him people-eating--" Then Robin said the rest. He bristled. "Six and a half!"

Wriggling some more, he said, grumpily, "And Stace? Dinner and a movie first, okay, babe?"

With that, his tactile telekineses enveloped the tentacle and shot up along it until it hit the projector, destroying it.

Kon dropped to the ground and dusted himself off.

Another tentacle shot out of another organic projector and slammed him into the wall, even harder this time. This time enough to rattle his brain in his noggin.

||Cease and desist destruction of the ship! You have acquired One Violation!||

And that's about when Bart made the scene, barreling at a high speed straight at toxin, his fists a blazin as he launched himself forward to lance the guy and pound him.

Them tentacles was fast.

Slam.

||Bart Allen, you were within broadcasting range of Kon-El's warning. Therefore you were warned. You have now acquired one Violation.||

Now there were two Humans pinned to the wall with tentacles, and that second one had come in fast. When Kon had decided to 'neutralize' one of the generators, Red had fallen back, trying to sidestep any trouble. But it didn't look like he was the one in danger- both Humans had gone straight for Toxin.

From a good couple meters away, he called to the symbiote. "Are your species and Humans on unfriendly terms?"

Wait, were these even Humans? They were young, sure, but weren't Humans still considered nestlings after five years? He looked Tim up and down. "You are the same species I am thinking of, aren't you?"

Toxin was distracted briefly by watching two out of three of his fellow supers acting like idiots, and simply stared. Apparently they were slow learners. Finally, he looked to Robin and asked,

He glanced back to Red, shrugging and calling back,

Tim closed his eyes briefly as Bart was slammed against the wall next to Kon. Just like old times. "Yes," he told Teeth-Guy. "I'm fully aware of that. It gets worse when they're together."

He glanced over the Dinosaur-Guy. "And--if the species is human, then yes. I am."

"Robin, by the way."

Kon slid down to the floor, after the tentacles dropped him and Bart, trying to stay on his feet, slightly dizzy.

Stacy hit HARD.

Now he just looked a little awkward, but also stubbornly non-contrite, crossing his arms, and looking at Toxin suspiciously.

"I'm only half. Sort of."

Bart slumped to the floor, landing on his butt. He favored his stomach, a hand over it where the tentacles hit him as he stood up. He didn't get it, by all means Toxin had the badguy thing going for him. Totally was evil looking.

"What's a violation?"

||15 Violations results in Punishment.||

There. The subject had been elucidated.

"Like make me do homework?"

"Very young Humans..." Or half-humans. Or whatever-they-were. Suddenly, Red was feeling like an extremely old man.

he said to Robin, nodding, then looked over to Kon and Bart. He eyed Kon right back, his eyepatches narrowing.

"That... is a very good question." Tim eyed Bart and Kon thoughtfully. "You two okay? Ready to play nice with the other kids?"

He glanced at Dinosaur-Guy with a slight frown. "Not that young..." He was going to be seventeen in a couple of months.

"" Kon was grumbling.

Robin got a resigned, "M'not gonna punch anybody."

Yet.

(Dammit, he wanted to clean up shop here and go HOME).

"I'm fine." Bart said, standing straight and looking at the dinosaur-man. "Nazi Dinosaur from Venus?" he asked, observing the raptor almost expectantly. Had to be, only "logical" answer.

Now that it looked like nobody was interested in another dose of Stacy's "problem solving," he moved closer.

"I'm sorry. I do have some trouble judging alien ages based on appearance." That was to Tim, who at least seemed the calmer of the trio. "I apologize, seeing as you must be an adult then." There might have been the instinct to react harshly to that, but he seemed sincere. Apparently Red didn't employ sarcasm often.

"A what from what?!" Not a word of Bart's had made sense. Shaking off the confusion, he grunted and pressed a hand to his chest. "No, no, I'm a Tiss'shar. You may call me Aish-Kar-Yan."

Toxin growled at Kon, still eyeing him warily. Just because he said he wouldn't do anything didn't mean Toxin would trust him.

His attention quickly turned to Red, though, and he peered at him.
