It was almost a week before anything significant occurred, but i think I needed that time. Both to acclimatize to my new friends, and to find out all that I could do.



Turns out, I don’t have ‘eyes’ per se, as i can actually see 360 degrees around me, thanks to my sensor package, though i did have two clusters of 3 cameras on my hull that i saw out of normally. Looking over my schematics and documentation, -which I found in an encoded section of my database- I had a transporter ansible, as well as six more limbs underneath my ‘head’ that I hadn’t noticed before, bringing me to a total of 14.



My sensor suite (that took up most of my nose) has sensors that allow me to sense and record; electromagnetic fields, barometer and thermometer readings, a mass spectrometer to analyze compounds in ambient conditions, multi-spectral imaging, and a subspace sensor. Just behind my sensor package, was my ‘brain’. It was a sphere about 10cm across, and was, get this, a quantum computer.





That explained how i was able to be telepathically accessible. My brain actually mimicked how neurons transferred information, so telepathy can intercept and jam/overwrite them, when I allow it. I actually have something like a ‘telepathic antenna’, that i can use for communication. I can broadcast, but it’s like radio. Only those with receivers can hear it. Though i do have radio transmitters as well. I mostly use those to talk to Red Tornado.



Speaking of Red, it turns out that he is a very good conversationalist. It also helps when you both can talk in binary and at speeds indecipherable to humans.



I had that psyche evaluation on the 13th. It turns out that black canary is a psychiatrist. She is really nice, and with Red’s help, we managed to pin down my age to around 16-18, At least maturity wise. Physically, the current chassis im in in only about two months old, so im very young by that regard. Up time is even less so at 8 days, 17 hours, 37 minutes, and 45 seconds....mark.



But hey, it turns out that Megan, Miss Martian’s civvy name, is actually 48 earth years old, but that equates to about 16 developmentally.



I wonder if they will force us to go to school. I certainly don’t need it. Superboy and Megan need it for the socializing, though I guess i need it for the same reasons. Wonder if I could move my ‘brain’ into a new body? Maybe keep my current form hooked in here, but remote control a ‘human’ body to school? Idk.



In any case, I had some time to explore my new home. And I have to say, though there may be some shitty parts to my current situation, living in a superhero mountain fortress is really cool. The main room I had first entered in doubled as both a Zeta Tube hub and the main briefing area, as apparently that massive cylinder on the ceiling was actually a supercomputer with a holographic interface. It turns out that i can actually connect directly to the cave’s computer and make it think my thoughts are typed out queries and give me info directly. It felt really weird, but I was willing to put up with it as the machine basically functioned almost exactly how I figured the bat-computer would, with real time news updates, extensive databases on a number of subjects, and fantastic internet speeds. Beyond that there was also the sea bay, another massive room that had a water dock that led to a concealed exit in the side of the mountain. It had probably been used for cargo in past, though currently it was used as a space for Megan’s bioship.



Beyond that, there were also a number of amenities. There was a common room, game room, fully stocked kitchen, library, gym, medlab… pretty much anything you would expect from such a place. To be honest though, I started having the most fun when I started getting into all the nooks and air ducts the place seemed to be littered with. Air ducts which, interestingly enough, were more than large enough for an adult man to fit through. I thought this was weird for approximately 2 seconds before I realized who probably designed this place.



My belief was confirmed as a short while later when, in flying about a particularly out of the way set of air ducts, I happened upon an old cache of Batman’s back-up gear. neat. This lead me to my current situation.



I was floating at about head hight, wearing the Batcowl and cape i just aquired. Using some recorded samples, i was able to change my voice to mimic Batman’s. I was skulking around humming the Batman theme, and being really sneaky, or so I thought.



“What are you doing?” A voice came out of literally nowhere.



“Bwahh!” I cried as i flew up rapidly and clung to the ceiling, the cape hanging down. “Oh, hi Aqualad! I was just doing some exploring, when I found this! And look!”



I dropped down in front of him. “I’m Batman!!” I said in as best a Batgrowl I could.



Aqualad smirked at me. “I’m terrified. Do you know where Red Tornado is?”



“Not at the moment, but i can find out!” Quickly checking the security cameras, I found Megan in the kitchen, baking it looks like, and Superboy watching static on the tv in the main room. But no Red Tornado.



“It doesn’t look like he is here at the moment.” I said as i used my manipulators to take off the cowl and hood.



Aqualad nodded before starting to walk towards the main room. “Lets go check the computer for when he will be back.”





“Ok! Do you think Batman will mind if I keep this?” I ask as i follow him into the main room, beaming the bat clothes to my room.“Oh, i just got a ping from his com. He will be here in roughly 10 minutes. Why do you want to see him again?” I inquired.



“I want to know if he has a mission for us. Kid Flash and Robin will be here soon as well for the same reason.” Aqualad answers before stepping up to a holographic keyboard.



“Ah, if thats the case, should i go grab the others?” I ask. Mainly, i just wanted to go se Megan again. She is really cheerful and is nice to be around. Also, she likes me because i don’t mind having telepathic conversations.



“That would be good. Thanks lambda. How are you doing by the way?” He asks, a concerned look on his face.



“Systems at 100%!” I reply as i take off for the kitchen/ common room.



“Thats not what i meant.” He says, shaking his head.









“Hey guys! We’re going to see if Red Tornado has a mission for us! Come on!!” I say as i fly into the common room. Watching as megan levitates a cookie trey into the oven. That is still so cool.



“Coming in a minute. Just need to set the timer.” Megan says as she picks up an egg timer before twisting it.



“Do you want me to keep track of it? I’m gonna be with you for at least the next half hour” I offer her as i float over.



“Sure! The recipe says to cook for 15 minutes.” Megan tells me as she goes to get Superboy. She seriously has the hots for him. Its kinda cute, really.



“Got it! Timer set! I’ll let you know when it goes off.” I say as i task the main computer to handle the timekeeping. She and Superboy have already got to the main room by the time the server gets back. Its just a quick flash of light and im I front of them, the transporter sparkle already shimmering out. I figured now would be a good time to test it, so i did. Point to Point self beaming is a go.



“What just happened?” Superboy asks as he looks at me confused.



“I just tested my transporter module. I can now beam myself to anywhere within about a 100 foot radius. I can also beam objects within line of sight or to anywhere I’ve been before within about 300 feet. I think that’s a success.” I state to the three surprised teen heroes.



“Ok then.” Megan said as she nodded. We all the. Turned to look at the zeta tubes as-



“Recognized: Robin. B-0-1. Recognized: Kid Flash. B-0-3.”



The light from the Zeta Tubes flashed once, as Robin and Kid Flash stepped out.



“Did you ask him?”

“What did he say?”



Robin and Kid Flash said over each other, before i heard the sound of the large mechanical entryway that made up our front door opening. Robin must have had pretty good ears too, because at the same moment he perked up. “That must be Red Tornado! Come on, I’m itching for some action!” He said before he scurried off in that direction.



The rest of us looked at each other before we followed. Wonder what my first mission will be?



A/n : not quite sure about some of the technical stuff. Based his sensors of what the ST wiki says tricorders have. As always, feedback is a gift!
