______________________________________________________________________________________________
All four boys are running to make it out of the debris field, but can't make it far enough. Superboy jumps over Kid Flash, while Aqualad covers Robin. The entire building is now crumbling around them.
Superboy punches a small piece of rubble so he can stick his hand through and push the larger piece covering the four of them up with his shoulder. All four now have evidence of their injuries in their torn suits, but they're okay.
As they catch their breath, Aqualad looks around, concern etched on his face. "Is everyone alright?" he asks, scanning the group. "We are... but I feel like we forgot something..."
Realization hits all of them at once..."Wade!"
Without another word, Superboy turns and rushes back toward the collapsed building.
Kid Flash groans, rubbing his forehead. "Why do we keep forgetting him!?"
______________________________________________________________________________________________
As the dust settles, the four sidekicks finally manage to free Wade from the rubble. His body is a mess—bones jut out at odd angles, and his limbs are twisted in ways that defy normal human anatomy. His left arm is broken in multiple places, hanging limply at his side, while his right leg is crushed and bent backward. Deep gashes cover his torso, exposing raw, mangled flesh beneath the tattered remains of his suit. Despite the horrific injuries, Wade's expression remains disturbingly calm, even amused.
Wade looks at the team with a smirk, his voice dripping with his usual sarcasm, 'Well, that was a fun little massage. I give it a solid 2 out of 10, though. They really need to work on their technique—too much pressure on the spine, not enough on the thighs.'
He glances down at his mangled arm, giving it a little shake as if testing it out. 'Huh, I was wondering what it would be like to have my elbow where my wrist should be. Spoiler alert: not a fan.'
Then, with a grin that belies his situation, he adds, 'You know, I'm starting to think this universe really doesn't want me here. I mean, it's throwing everything it's got at me—buildings, clones, you name it! But joke's on them—'
As the four sidekicks take in Wade's injuries, their faces turn pale with horror.
Aqualad, his eyes wide with shock, says, "This is... beyond what I expected. I didn't think he could get this badly hurt."
Robin stares in disbelief, "This is worse than anything we've faced. How is he even still conscious?"
Kid Flash, his face a mix of shock and concern, adds, "He's supposed to be in serious pain. How is he not...?"
The team watches in stunned silence as Wade's injuries start to heal. His grotesquely twisted limbs are straightening, and his face, though still bruised, is showing signs of recovery.
Wade, noticing their reactions, smiles and says, "Surprise! I'm like the universe's worst-kept secret. No matter how much it tries to squash me, I just keep bouncing back. Guess I'm just too stubborn to stay down!"

looks to the still pinned Blockbuster.
"See?" Kid Flash questions, drawing Superboy's attention away from the villain and using his thumb to gesture. "The Moon."
Superboy can only stand and take it all in, but then a figure appears in its light, cloaking him in shadows. Superboy squints slightly, trying to see who it is. As he slows and turns perpendicular to the ground it's obviously Superman.
"Oh. And Superman." Kid Flash comments, surprised. "Do we keep our promises, or what?"
'oooooh!congratulations superlite you will meet your daddy '
(you know you are like him....right?)
'F*ck you'
Martian Manhunter, Zatara, Captain Marvel, and Red Tornado fly behind the Big Blue Boyscout. Followed by Captain Atom, Hawkman, Wonder Woman, Hawkwoman, and the first Green Lantern (Hal Jordan). The second Green Lantern (John Stewart) brings a platform for the Leaguers who can't fly; Black Canary, Aquaman, Batman, and Green Arrow.
As Batman steps up to Superman, Flash zooms in, standing to Batman's left.
Superboy steps up first, catching Superman's attention. As he lifts the torn front of his suit to reveal the same S mirrored on his own costume, Superman's eyes widen in shock. Superboy's features soften, only for Superman's gaze to turn hard and cold. This brings an annoyed look of confusion to Superboy's face.
"Is that what I think it is?" Batman questions.
"He doesn't like being called an "it"." Kid Flash says stepping up and putting his left hand to face towards Superboy as speaks.
"I'm Superman's clone!" Superboy speaks up, gaining a shocked look from Kid Flash. While Martian Manhunter looks to Captain Marvel, Flash looks to Green Arrow, and Aquaman and Black Canary can only look on in shock.
Batman's eyes zero in on his protége's. "Start talking."
Both Green Lanterns have Blockbuster trapped inside a sphere, while Hawkman, Hawkwoman, and Captain Atom fly alongside them.
Superman is having a conversation with Wonder Woman and Martian Manhunter. Nothing is said for a moment, then Manhunter places a hand on Superman's shoulder, causing Superman to meet Superboy's gaze. The clone's look is curious, while Superman's is hard. The clone looks away, then glances back, seeing Superman look down and away from him before finally turning and walking towards him.
Superman sighs as he meets his cross-armed clone. "We'll, uh, we'll figure something out for you. The League will, I mean." he corrects himself quickly. "For now I better make sure they get the Blockbuster creature squared away." then he flies away with a swish of his cape. Leaving Superboy following him with shocked, hurt, and confused eyes.
our mercenary, still limping but with a mischievous grin, hobbles over to Superboy. He puts a comforting arm around Superboy's shoulders, despite his own injuries
'Uuuuuh, don't be sad, Suppy. You're not the only one with daddy issues.'
(Two daddies actually)
The voice in his head hits in
'not now guys!'wade whispers to himself
'dont worry superboy i am sure he is coming now with the milk ! '
Batman, with his usual tone, demands, "And who are you?"
Wade strikes a dramatic pose, his injuries making it look more comedy than menacing.
'Me? I'm vengeance! I am the night! I am batman!'
Everyone stares at him, clearly unimpressed.
Wade shrugs nonchalantly. 'What? I always wanted to say that. It's a classic!'
Robin steps forward quickly , addressing the gathered heroes and Superboy. "What Wade meant to say is... he's a Deathstroke clone. He's been trapped in there for 17 years, so he might be a little... off."
Wade ,feeling offended ,raises a hand using the other and says, "Hey, I'm right here, you know. And I'm just as normal as a taco in a blender!"
