The Superior Spiderman in Young Justice

Superior Spider-Man, along with Robin, Superboy, Aqualad, and Kid Flash, meticulously dismantled the entire facility's technology. Each of them worked with precision, ensuring no valuable data or equipment was left intact. The quiet hum of deactivated machines and the clatter of dismantled components filled the room, signaling the completion of their mission. Despite the tension, the team moved efficiently, fully aware of the weight of their task and the importance of leaving no trace behind.

"Got it," Robin muttered, carefully disconnecting the last wire from a terminal. He glanced around the room, his sharp eyes ensuring that nothing had been overlooked. "This place is too dangerous to leave anything running."

Aqualad moved toward the far side of the room, his gaze scanning a row of control panels. "We need to make sure this tech doesn't get salvaged," he said, his voice firm, laced with a sense of urgency. "If Morrow's work gets out, we could be facing more prototypes—worse, someone could use this to build a new army."

Kid Flash zipped across the room, his speed a blur as he checked every corner and gathered up stray components. His actions were a whirlwind, but they were focused, and each movement was calculated. He grinned as he pocketed a few small, potentially valuable pieces of tech. "Hey, some of this stuff might come in handy down the line. Think of it as... souvenirs," he said, his voice teasing yet with an edge of seriousness.

Superboy let out a grunt as he pulled away the largest and heaviest section of the machine, his muscles straining as he followed Superior Spider-Man's orders. The device groaned in protest, but Superboy was relentless, breaking it down piece by piece. "This thing's a pain in the neck," he muttered under his breath, sweat dotting his brow. "But it's worth it."

Superior Spider-Man stood off to the side, monitoring the operation with a cold, calculating gaze. His Spider-Bots scuttled across the room, their tiny mechanical limbs working in perfect sync as they helped dismantle various devices and scan the remains of Red Torpedo and Firebrand's body parts, carefully documenting the remains for later analysis.

His mind was already moving ahead, analyzing the data they were collecting. "Make sure nothing gets overlooked," he instructed, his voice steady and authoritative. "Every scrap of data, every piece of technology—it's all crucial to our cause."

As the team continued their work, the tension in the air remained palpable. The facility, once a dangerous hub of experimentation, was now reduced to rubble under their combined effort. The quiet hum of machinery had faded, replaced by the steady rhythm of the team's movements, each of them acutely aware of the importance of leaving no trace behind.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Far from the rest of the team, in another dimly lit room, Miss Martian hovered in the stillness, her translucent green form casting a soft glow as she drifted near the bed where the old body of T.O. Morrow lay motionless. The air was heavy with the weight of the task at hand, but her focus was unwavering. Her mind stretched out, probing the depths of Morrow's brain—his genius, his countless inventions, his twisted brilliance—all of it laid bare in her psychic sight.

She could feel the surge of his knowledge, a torrent of data and formulas, algorithms, and strategies flooding her mind. It was overwhelming, but she was prepared. Her fingers hovered just above the bed's edge, the soft hum of her telepathic abilities intertwining with the raw, unrefined power of Morrow's mind. She was syncing with it, drawing only what she needed, extracting the most critical pieces of his knowledge while carefully shielding her sense of self.

Miss Martian's eyes fluttered as she concentrated, her lips parting in concentration. The mental connection was delicate, like walking a tightrope. She knew that if she wasn't careful, if she allowed too much of Morrow's psyche to overwhelm her own, she could lose herself in the process. The fear of becoming consumed by his intelligence—the very thing that had driven him to madness—was always there, lingering at the edges of her thoughts.

But she wasn't going to let that happen.

"I can't let it change me," she muttered under her breath, her voice low but firm. "I won't lose myself to his mind."

Her telepathic form flared with a soft, ethereal glow as she concentrated, her mind reaching deeper into the recesses of T.O. Morrow's fractured consciousness. The task was monumental—his genius was a tangled web of intricate algorithms and dark brilliance. But Miss Martian had trained for moments like this. The effort was taxing, but she was resolute.

The knowledge surged through her mind like a torrent, data flooding in waves, and with each passing second, the weight of Morrow's twisted brilliance pressed heavier against her psyche. She could feel it trying to seep into her own thoughts, his madness clawing at the edges of her self-control. But she refused to let it consume her. Stay focused. I can't afford to lose myself.

Her fingers, though still hovering just above the bed, trembled ever so slightly as she carefully filtered through the massive influx of information. She siphoned only what was necessary—formulas, blueprints, strategies—stripping away the madness, leaving only the knowledge. Her pulse quickened, the connection deepening as she synchronized with Morrow's fragmented mind, extracting knowledge with surgical precision.

An hour passed, but it felt like an eternity. Each second stretched on endlessly as Miss Martian sifted through the turbulent chaos of Morrow's mind, pulling only what she needed, making sure his fractured consciousness didn't swallow hers in the process. His intelligence—his brilliance—had been a labyrinth of madness, but she remained focused, threading her way carefully through the madness. Finally, with a final surge of concentration, the overwhelming torrent of information began to ease.

Miss Martian opened her eyes slowly, her breath heavy but controlled. The task was over, yet the weight of it lingered, her body still trembling from the mental strain. She had done it. She had extracted Morrow's knowledge, and despite the chaos of his mind, she had come out unscathed—still herself.

But even as she regained her composure, her mind was far from quiet. There was still the matter of organizing the overwhelming flood of information that now swirled in the depths of her consciousness. Her mind felt cluttered, the raw data of Morrow's genius pressing at the edges of her thoughts like a storm waiting to surge again. It was a delicate balance—she had taken what she needed, but now she needed to process it, to adjust it to fit into her own mind without losing herself.

Taking a deep breath, Miss Martian closed her eyes again. She needed a moment, a pause to ground herself before diving back in. She entered her mindscape, a place of calm and focus where she could make sense of the mental chaos. The familiar, tranquil space of her inner world enveloped her, offering solace from the storm of Morrow's intellect still lingering in the corners of her thoughts.

She stood in the center of her mindscape, taking a moment to center herself, to stabilize the mental energy that buzzed and pulsed in the wake of the extraction. With a slow exhale, she began to adjust, focusing on compartmentalizing the raw knowledge. She visualized the chaotic flood of data as scattered fragments, each piece of information a jagged shard of brilliance. She knew she couldn't allow the fragments to remain loose in her mind; they needed to be organized, refined, and fitted into her cognitive framework.

Her telepathic abilities flared to life, the soft glow of her psychic form surrounding her as she reached into the swirling mass of information. One by one, she began to pick up the fragmented pieces of Morrow's knowledge, carefully sorting them, aligning them in a way that felt natural to her mind. Formulas, equations, designs—each piece of data was carefully filed into a mental archive, tidily ordered and cataloged. She worked with precision, focusing on maintaining control, ensuring that none of Morrow's madness would slip through the cracks.

Despite the painstaking effort, she felt a subtle shift within her mind, like the lingering traces of Morrow's darker influence were starting to fade. It was a delicate process, and she wasn't sure how long it would take for her mind to fully adapt to the new influx of information. But for now, she could breathe a little easier.

With each passing moment, the mental fog lifted, and the clarity she sought began to return. The chaos of Morrow's mind had been reduced to a manageable stream, now flowing through her with purpose rather than wild, uncontrollable torrents. She felt herself growing steadier, her thoughts sharper and more focused.

Miss Martian took another deep breath, feeling the weight of her task finally begin to lift. She was still herself—strong, grounded, and in control. And now, with the knowledge of T.O. Morrow at her fingertips, she was ready to face whatever came next.

Reaching out with her telepathic abilities, she established a link with the team, her mental voice calm but tinged with a quiet sense of triumph. [The task is complete. I've successfully synchronized with Morrow's Knowledge]

Kid Flash's voice came through the link almost immediately, tinged with caution and just a hint of nervous humor. [Cool! You're still you, right? Our adorable, lovable green Martian, not some creepy old scientist in the body of an alien who can read our minds?]

M'gann couldn't help but giggle, the sound light and reassuring as it echoed through the link. [Don't worry, Wally, I'm still me.]

Kid Flash let out an audible sigh of relief, his grin practically tangible through the mental connection. [Phew! Okay, just checking. Would've been awkward if you started quoting mad scientist monologues or something.]

Superior Spider-Man's voice cut through the moment with an authoritative tone, calm but direct. [Well done, Martian. Your success has exceeded expectations. Now, let's put that knowledge to the test. Join us in the control room immediately. There is work to be done.]

M'gann nodded to herself, her confidence reaffirmed by Spider-Man's approval. [Understood. I'm on my way.]

She rose from her position, her expression calm but determined. Her task wasn't over yet. The knowledge she had painstakingly extracted was about to be put into action.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Miss Martian entered the control room where Superior Spider-Man and the rest of the team stood amidst the neatly dismantled remains of T.O. Morrow's laboratory. The disassembled cores of Red Torpedo and Firebrand rested on a nearby table, their intricate designs exposed. The two androids' cores were technological masterpieces, each possessing unique mechanisms that allowed them to control fire and water with terrifying precision.

Superior Spider-Man turned to Miss Martian, his piercing gaze fixed on her. His arms were crossed, and his demeanor exuded authority. "Martian, you claim to have synchronized with T.O. Morrow's mind and extracted his knowledge. Now, it's time to prove it."

Miss Martian straightened her posture, meeting his gaze with calm determination. "I'm ready."

He gestured to the exposed cores on the table. "These are the power cores of Red Torpedo and Firebrand. Each is designed to manipulate a specific element—water and fire, respectively. Their functionality is rooted in unique principles of advanced engineering and energy manipulation. Explain to me, in detail, how they operate and interact with their corresponding elements."

The team watched in silence, the atmosphere tense with anticipation. Kid Flash, standing to the side, shot Miss Martian an encouraging grin, while Aqualad and Superboy exchanged brief glances of curiosity.

Miss Martian stepped forward, her eyes glowing faintly as she focused. Her mind reached into the depths of the knowledge she had extracted, organizing the complex data into a coherent explanation.

She pointed to the Red Torpedo's core first. "This core operates on a principle of hydrodynamic resonance. It generates a controlled oscillation of water molecules by emitting a specific frequency of energy. The core's internal system uses a combination of superconductive materials and microfluidic channels to amplify and direct these oscillations, creating precise control over water in its liquid and vapor states. The core's design ensures that the android can manipulate water with minimal energy loss, allowing for sustained and large-scale applications."

Superior Spider-Man nodded subtly, his expression unreadable as he moved closer. "Impressive. And Firebrand's core?"

Miss Martian turned her attention to the second core, her confidence growing. "Firebrand's core is based on plasma energy generation. It uses a fusion micro-reactor to create and sustain a plasma field. The field is controlled by a network of magnetic containment coils, which shape and direct the plasma into flames. The reactor also integrates a thermal feedback loop, enabling the android to regulate the temperature and intensity of the fire it produces. Additionally, the outer layers of the core are coated with a heat-resistant alloy to prevent structural damage during prolonged use."

Spider-Man's eyes narrowed slightly, and his voice grew sharper. "And what safeguards did Morrow design to prevent overloads in these systems?"

Miss Martian hesitated for only a moment before responding. "Both cores are equipped with fail-safe mechanisms. The Red Torpedo's core includes a pressure regulation system that prevents water oscillations from destabilizing. Firebrand's core has an emergency venting system that dissipates excess plasma energy into a heat sink, avoiding catastrophic failure. However…" She paused, her brow furrowing. "These safeguards are vulnerable to sustained external interference. If subjected to prolonged electromagnetic disruption or physical damage to the containment systems, both cores could fail, potentially causing dangerous side effects."

Superior Spider-Man studied her closely, his mechanical lenses narrowing as if dissecting her every word. He remained silent for a long moment, the weight of his scrutiny palpable.

Finally, he spoke, his tone sharp yet tinged with approval. "Acceptable. Your analysis matches Morrow's original designs with remarkable accuracy. However, theoretical knowledge is insufficient. You will now demonstrate practical application."

Miss Martian blinked in surprise. "Practical application?"

Spider-Man gestured to the dismantled cores. "Reassemble one of the cores and ensure it is operational. I will assess your ability to utilize the knowledge you claim to have acquired."

The rest of the team exchanged uneasy glances. Robin stepped forward, his voice cautious. "Is that really necessary? Reassembling those cores could be dangerous—"

Superior Spider-Man cut him off with a raised hand. "Danger is inherent in our mission, Boy. Miss Martian has chosen to wield the knowledge of a madman. If she cannot demonstrate mastery over it, then she has no business claiming it as her own."

Miss Martian nodded, her resolve unshaken. "I understand."

With delicate telekinetic precision, she lifted the components of the Red Torpedo's core from the table. The intricate parts floated in the air, rotating slowly as she examined them. The team watched in silence as she began the painstaking process of reassembling the core. Her movements were methodical, guided by the schematics burned into her mind.

As the final piece clicked into place, the core hummed softly, a faint blue glow emanating from its center. Miss Martian set it down gently, her expression calm but focused. "The core is reassembled."

Superior Spider-Man stepped forward, his Spider-Bots scuttling onto the table to scan the device. After a moment, he nodded. "Functionality appears intact. Activate it and demonstrate its elemental control capabilities."

Miss Martian hesitated briefly before extending her hand toward the core. Her telepathic abilities reached out, interfacing with the device's control systems. A thin stream of water materialized in the air, flowing gracefully in response to her mental commands. She manipulated it with precision, forming shapes and patterns before letting it dissipate.

Spider-Man observed her closely, his mechanical lenses whirring. After a moment, he spoke. "Satisfactory. You have demonstrated both theoretical and practical understanding. However, this is only the beginning. The knowledge you now possess is a tool, and like any tool, it must be honed. I will expect continued excellence in your application of Morrow's designs."

Miss Martian exhaled quietly, relief flickering across her face. "Understood."

Kid Flash let out a low whistle. "Okay, that was cool. Remind me not to underestimate our resident Martian genius."

Superboy crossed his arms, his tone grudgingly impressed. "Not bad."

Robin smirked. "Guess we don't have to worry about you turning into a mad scientist after all."

Aqualad stepped forward, his expression serious but approving. "Well done, Miss Martian. Your efforts have ensured that this mission will yield lasting benefits."

Superior Spider-Man turned to the team, his tone brisk. "We are not done here. Continue dismantling the remaining equipment. Martian, remain with me. There is more work to be done."

As the team resumed their tasks, Miss Martian stood beside Superior Spider-Man, ready to face whatever challenges lay ahead. The knowledge she had gained was both a burden and a gift, and she was determined to use it wisely.
