(( You're god-modding a bit there, Canary, please edit your post so that you're not controlling the actions of another character. Also, please edit the bit about the cord and the smoke bomb, as you have no idea if any of the other characters would react to either. Keep in mind when posting that you always have to give other people a chance to react. ))
"Kill me?" Krepta snarled. "You're lucky I don't turn you into a finger puppet, you snot nosed punk." Oh yes, she was mad, and Krepta didn't always think straight when she was mad. She snapped her teeth very close to Jolt's face, eyes blazing. While no Leaguer told her what to do, Creeper was still a hero, and he was right. She couldn't just mess this brat up because she wanted to, however much she wanted to. "You're lucky he's around," she hissed, jerking her head towards Creeper. Her nerves still hurt. "Because I'd love to roast you with some carrots and potatoes and serve you up to this bloody "light"."
Those dragons were sentient beings-- or... they used to be. She couldn't imagine what those scientists were doing to the few that had come through. It made her blood boil. At least it was a small blessing that what ever was bringing them through was also reducing them to an animal state. She only prayed that they didn't know what was happening to them. "Monsters," she spat, limping back to Creeper's side.

Creeper's eyes fixed on Jolt, piercing and focused as he spoke. once he explained that they were supposed to be 'heroes' Creeper huffed out his nose. "Heroes? You really think you're heroes? Heroes don't leap into situations and fight without asking questions. Heroes don't aim for the heart when they throw metal. Heroes don't experiment on living things, kid. You're playing for a bad team. Now, i don't know who got you into it, whether it was you daddy, mommy, or whether you two were idiots enough to get caught in it by yourselves, but you had better get out of it quick, or hope you don't run across The Creeper again."
With that, he threw Shockwave towards his brother, possibly leaving a bit of a tear in his shirt where he had grabbed onto its collar. "Now get the hell outta here before I change my mind. If we meet again, you'll end up with a lot more than cuts and bruised prides." He turned towards Krepta, eyeing her for wounds or weak spots. He probably would have been put out of commission for a few hours if that happened to him. Brains are hard to regenerate. However, he still kept very aware of his surroundings, and if those twins tried anything, he'd be ready.
(Do we skip Canary this turn, then? I have a separate post prepare if we don’t. But for now I’ll react off of Krepta.)

((OOC: Sorry, I didn't realize it was my turn to post.))
This enraged Jolt to the farthest possible extent. He immediately swore out and started yelling at Creeper the second he caught his brother.
"Who are you to talk? You're hiding a dangerous monster, threatened a little girl; it's cause of you and the stupid Justice League that Mom's d-" but he stopped when Alex grabbed onto his arm, giving him a pleading look.
"You know what The Light told us. There's no point trying to argue or negotiate." And what that just so happened to be was a dreadful lie that the Justice League itself had become evil. It was what the Light had used to control both their father and the boys. "Besides, now we know what our limits are when we're not fighting together. Right now the best option is to retreat and continue with Mission Protect 9." Alex muttered again, but something on his face said that he had other plans in mind.
Growling, Jolt reluctantly stopped yelling, and under his breath he whispered back. "When this mission is over, I want revenge..."

(............ Is... this aimed particularly at Creeper? Or it is aimed at the Justice league in general?)

(Just...ignorethat last post -.-; It's really....bad.......)
Deciding not to step in, Canary watched Jolt yell at The Creeper. She caught his 'mom' slip-up and decided that could wait until later. Right now- she needed to clear things up. "I'm sorry...Creeper.....I didn't know that they were working for The Light." She turned away, she was so embarassed! How could she be fighting for the wrong side all this time?
(Again....I'm so sorry!)

Krepta growled and started forward. "Dangerous monster," she hissed, "I'll show you dangerous monster!" She spat fire at the floor in front of them, turning the water into hot steam. "If you don't get out of here now," she snarled, "I swear I'll make good on my threat and deliver you back to this 'light' myself!" There was only so much longer she was going to let Creeper deal with these snot nose brats before she sent them crying home to their mommies. She was sore; she was tired; and now on top of everything she was going to have to find a new place to stay anyhow. She was starting to see why some heroes really did go rouge. She looked toward the sky outside of the doors. The clouds seemed dark, and pregnant with rain. The storm was likely to start any moment. If she didn't get moving soon she'd be caught out in it. Whipping her head back around, she snapped her jaws at the air in frustration and anger. "If I ever see any one of you three again," she said darkly and quietly to the trio of youths, "I will make you wish you were never born. Am I clear?"

Creeper fully allowed Krepta to show her anger. He wasn't above letting someone beat up an enemy if they were doing nothing but acting stupid and provoking. "You've been lied to. I doubt you'll buy it, but might as well have said it. Unfortunate that The Light finds you gullible saps so easily. Just leave before I decide to stop standing between you and the nice big dragon behind me."
He looked over at Canary as soon as she spoke. He didn't recognize her right away, but then tilted his head. "You're with Young Justice, right? 'Canary'?" He looked back at Jolt and Shockwave. "If you want to make it up, escort them out of here. We have nothing more to say to them. If they try anything, put them in their place."
He turned back to Krepta, "Do you think you can still take me to one of these 'gates'? I need to scan it for JLA. We can try and find another place for you to hide, too. I know the city well. There are a few underground parking lots that are well hidden and abandoned."

Jolt glared at Creeper, then at Canary with an expression of disgust and betrayal as he stood by his brother. Shockwave smirked and regained his composure; giving his brother a smile that told him he had something mischievous up his sleeve. Placing a hand on his younger twin's shoulder, Shockwave chuckled.
"This was a fun little game, sir. I'm sure you think you've seen our full capabilities as well as us ourselves for the final time; but you've just seen the tip of the iceberg. You'll hear from The Light again." Slipping out a small smoke pellet from his pocket, he threw it to the ground.
In a puff of smoke the boys were gone. For now.
The boys were good at making quick escapes, and were now already back onto the street below, looking at a GPS on Shockwave's phone. "Looks like the scientists are near by, and we're only a good fifteen minutes late. We'll show them." Shockwave murmured. Jolt grinned in almost a maniacal way.
"All of them."
Team Electroshock was far from fully leaving the scene; once they had started on the mission they had originally received, the heroes would be facing something more sinister. Something almost inhuman.

Canary flinched at the sound of Krepta's threat. Turning her attention back to The Creeper she nodded i at his question. "I'm not with the team tonight, everyone seems to be having some downtime." Determined to please the hero, she turned to escort the boys out, but paused seeing the look of digust Jolt had thrown her. "I'm sor-", she stopped her mumble when Shockwave spoke his departing words, and then he and Jolt disappeared. Turning back to The Creeper, she asked, "May I go after them?", while taking her grappling hook out. (Sorry it took so long to update! Life just kind of......kicks me in the butt sometimes ^_^; I'm open to any criticism )

(( It's alright. Like I said, real life comes first. XD If you'd like some criticism however, I'm always happy to help. Make sure to always proof-read your post for spelling errors and typos. Secondly, for you in specific, I'd work to write a little more in your posts each day. You meet the minimum, but you should strive to write more than that. Remember, there's so much you can write about. Not just what your character says, but how she feels about what she's saying, or what she's hearing. What's going through her head? What does she plan on doing next? What does she think about the situation going on around her? And that's just the tip of the iceburg! When writing, try to at least include three of the five senses in your post, for example. You can never write too much, but you CAN write too little. XD ))
Krepta gave a small chuff of disgust, blowing away some of the lingering smoke with a soft puff of air. She was starting to remember why she wasn't too fond of kids now. If they were determined to be a pain in her hide, she would find a reason to arrest them. Shaking her head a bit, she groaned and shakily turned to face Creeper. Damn she hurt. "It's probably better if we discuss this away from prying ears," she said, glancing pointedly at Canary, then off the way the brothers had gone. They may have smoked their escape, but there were only a few ways out of this place, and only one of them led to the city. The girl wanted to go after them. It was probably dangerous. Those two hardly seemed stable, and who ever they were working for were probably even less pleasant. Still, if she was anything like Krepta was at her age, she would go anyhow, and child or not, this teen seemed to fancy herself a superhero. Krepta thought she could use more training. A lot more training. She cast a skeptical eye down at Canary. Either way, what ever Canary decided to do, Krepta was supposed to be a responsible adult these days. "Canary, was it? You're with Young Justice? Go back to your HQ and report to your superiors. You've got no idea what kind of backup they have. It would be a suicide mission to go after them alone." She snorted a bit, green eyes glowing dimly in the light of the moon. "Does anyone even know where you are, kid?" Of course, she had pulled shit like this all the time as a kid. No one told her what to do. Not then, and not now either. She had been smarter about it though, and better equipped. Reflexively, she flexed a claw. "There's not much they can get up to in here if they come back anyhow," she told them, stalking back to her sleeping area. "All I have that's important is this map. The rest is just a bunch of med-packs and food supplies, and I'm taking those with me too." There was no way she could stay here now. Too many people knew about it. She would have to take Creeper up on his offer, even though she didn't want to trust him that much. He was supposed to be one of the good guys though, and she had little choice at this point.

Creeper snapped back to look at the spot where the twins had once been, face darkening a bit. He tightened his hands into fists out of frustration, then let a sigh out of his nose and released them. "She's right, you should head back. If you don't, I won't be able to back you up. I have other things to do." He looked back to Krepta. "We need to hurry up and leave, before you down right collapse." There was a certain amount of readable, genuine concern. Creeper honestly didn't like seeing allies get hurt, and would have throttled those two kids, had let allowed himself to. Sometimes it was more difficult to be good.
"Canary," He started, pressing a few buttons on his JLA communicator, "I've let Martian Manhunter know about the two of them already. He'd a good tracker, so if they start anything else, he'd be the first to tell us. For now, you should be helping the city dealt with the dragons coming through. I hear they've started to eat power lines and start small fires. Mischief turns to madness, they say." He smirked. "However, if I get any updates, I'll let you know. I'm on radio frequency 405.1."

Meanwhile, the Electroshock Twins were inside a building disguised to be a Ken and Barry's ice cream factory. They were inside, guiding two professors to a room where a woman sat by her desk. She smiled as the two teens knelt down in a servant like fashion.
"Alright boys; your next mission has actually been changed. Let's say a little bird told us you boys ran into trouble, so we were able to finish the experiments early."
"Wait what?" Shockwave looked up, a tad troubled that his boss had to change plans due to him and his brother.
"Do not worry," she smiled "Created through DNA made by the creatures you boys have captured so far, the experiments can better society by becoming weapons for us. But, these new experiments must now be transferred again. When you transfer them a new mission may be given to you. Once completed, I suspect you boys to return to your find and capture duty; and try to get some strong ones this time. If you can catch a human, even better."
"Yes ma'am." The twins simultaneously murmured.
"I'm just hoping that we bump into a certain trio," chuckled Jolt, cracking his knuckles "Then it'll be perfect." He stood up laughing, though he had never made a laugh like this before. It seemed just a little... unstable.
Alex looked at his younger twin with worry. Jolt was his baby brother; what was up with him all of a sudden? He had his suspicions about the place his father and the two of them worked for; his pride and love for his family wouldn't let him quit. He knew Jolt could be easily manipulated, and fell towards sin more easily then he did. Never the less, Shockwave would do whatever his baby brother asked. He had to be there for him; The Light had already told him the Justice League was why their mother died, he had to replace her as a protector for Shockwave.
He had to take down the League.
The twins set off; holding two large, glass cases labeled in red letters. Jolt laughed as they did, perhaps a little too much.

(( Just remember with your experiments that you'll have to create a bio for each if you want to use them in the roleplay, especially if they're particularly powerful. Also, Krepta would be unlikely to be on such a list, since she's not even technically from this earth. She's unlikely to be registered in any kind of data-base yet. The only one's who know about her are a handful of people she's met face to face. She IS a plot device after all.))
