Please note that you can still fill over at part one- ( Read more... )
Bonus if various league members (*cough* Superman *cough*), use the incident to argue that Superboy's not safe or a trap, and uses this to justify mean/aloof behavior.

Seven Steps
7. A human’s mental landscape is - as M’gann has found - confusing. It is a rush of sound, thoughts pulsing in time with a heartbeat; an avalanche of images, sights and dreams and memories; an ocean of feelings she needs to stay above or else drown in fear and joy and love and rage. Even without consciously trying - even consciously trying to stay out - she still sometimes gets lost in what the others feel.
A kryptonian’s mental landscape is much the same, so far as she can tell. Superboy has always been so protective of his privacy that she’s always worked extra hard to keep out of his head. Now she doesn’t have a choice. With an apologetic whisper impossible to hear against the hurricane of thoughts - it’snotsobad icanhandlethis it’sm’gannicantrusther won’thurtthemagain - she dives in and forces herself to orient before she can get lost in the cascades of ( ... )

Not surprisingly, Red Tornado seconded her opinion. Not surprisingly, Superman raised objections - ‘The Light already knows too much about our operations, and you want to give them more?’ Not surprisingly, a lot of League members agree with him. Superboy waits impatiently in the cell.
It wasn’t- he didn’t mean to! He’s not a spy. He’s not dan- He’s not a spy. He won’t give The Light anything... knowingly. What happened was... he doesn’t know. Superboy is... Out of control, Superman said to Batman as the cell door swung closed. Dangerous.
Superboy wishes he could say he remembers, but it’s all a blur. He doesn’t even know what he’s done.

Okay, keeping calm and mashing F5 over here.

“Later. I’m getting to that. ... thanks, man,” Wally hands the concession stand cashier forty dollars, and starts handing food to Superboy - two extra large drinks, four extra large bags of popcorn. “So, the kid helps them into the city...” he begins, jerking his head towards the huge ‘2’ sign. Superboy follows, not really paying attention because he’s going to be watching the movie in a few minutes, and he’s scanning the crowds for the others anyway.
The last thing he hears is “the viper - I think it’s a viper, I could be wrong - the viper strikes -” and adrenaline surges through his body and his hands reach out and grab Wally. And then he’s flying.
Kid Flash screams when Superboy lets him go.

Need I remind you, that when this is over, we need to debrief?
But it’s a Saturday! Nobody’s got school tomorrow!
So?
So I can see the sign for the Miranda Cinema from here, and there’s a midnight showing of The Scorpion King! It’s a classic! The Rock’s first movie - Superboy’s gotta see it! His education won’t be complete until he does!
Yeah, Aqualad. You wouldn’t want to stand in the way of Superboy’s normal-ification, would you?
Superboy frowns because he can hear Robin’s smirk.
Guys, M’gann interrupts. Kobra’s here. Headed your way, Robin.
Right. Surveil now, movie later, Robin says, like it’s already decided.
Surveil? Artemis asks doubtfully.
Yeah. People who are on surveillance, like us, ‘surveil’. I just thought of it two minutes ago. I’ve got a visual on Kobra. He’s got the crates alright.
Tomorrow, Kaldur says suddenly. If there’s no mission, we’ll all go tomorrow. He suppresses a smile. We can call it team bonding.

“I don’t want anyone in my head,” he says, finally, the first words he’s spoken in hours/days/weeks. It’s timeless in here. “But... I guess I deserve it.”

I WANT MORE! *sob* That was beautiful, well done, anon! I love how you wrote it, too. The cheerful note to the last part, how they're just going to have a day at the movie and it's gonna be awesome and normal and you can just see them going for pizza after, it hurts so much worse knowing what happens next. I NEED AN EPILOGUE OR SOMETHING. To make it BETTER. *hugs Superman doll and tries to imagine a happy ending*

This was so excellent. I also love your trigger words, and poor Wally, and Artemis, you badass.
Oh, I have so much love for this, there aren't enough words.
