Assessment {Hack/Open?}

[Dick Grayson]

Son of man
Look to the sky

DICK CRACKED HIS KNUCKLES as he waited for Hack to show up. He had done his research on the boy and was ready to test him. It was either he test him or Batman did. He figured he would be easier on the new recruit than his foster father. Besides, while he had been told to watch Hack and refer back to Bruce his opinions on him, he mainly wanted to just get to know him. Perhaps he could become friends with the armored vigilante. But he also wanted to make sure he wasn't dealing with a future enemy. It wasn't hard for someone to cross the line and become a villain. He had faith in Hack, however. He knew Hawkwoman had most likely taught him better.

The Boy Wonder tapped on his wrist and his personal holographic computer screen popped to life. He typed on the keyboard that showed up, narrowing his eyes as a couple profiles showed up on possible new recruits to the Team. His friends were certainly being busy with recruiting, as were the League. He hoped none of the new recruits were complete newbies. At least Hack didn't seem like a newbie. He had faith in the boy's skills and ability to control that armor of his. That armor also fascinated the young acrobat. He would be lying if he said he didn't wish he could try it on. It seemed like it would be fun. Would he take it out on patrol? No, he'd probably get himself killed. He smirked to himself, wondering what it was like for Hack when he first used his armor.

[Luz Lupina]

It hadn’t taken Luz as long as he thought it had to get from his house, let his mother know he was home and went to his room. The blonde haired and pale green eyed boy wheeled his way into his room and closed the door. He sat still and closed his eyes, he could feel the familiar liquid bubbling just below the surface of his blood and within moments he snagged that feeling and the liquid armor awakened and spread across, over and under his skin. The familiar feeling of his armor spreading across his skin, it was like putting on a second skin, one where if he didn’t wear it then he’d feel somewhat naked without it. That armor had become apart of him, a part that he would never want to get rid of. As the armor spread over his feet and toes, the last of Luz Lupina disappeared and the armored vigilante -and his alter ego- Hack appeared. Hack stood up, taking the time to test out the cybernetics in his legs, making sure they all worked accordingly. Once he was satisfied, he let his armor shift, the armor changed back into a black liquid which covered all of his body, allowing nothing of his form to be seen, before the armor shifted and soon settled into a different form, the armor was more or less the same, except now his gloves had changed into clawed gauntlets, several weapons were strapped to his waist and hips, a flink, an energy garrote and a curveblade, along with a few other things hidden in his belt; smoke bombs, smoke pellets, knockout gas pellets, knockout gas bombs. A jetpack was on his back, with a long black coiled cord that wrapped around his right should blade and all the way down his arm, with a small red button on the palm of his hand, and his boots turned into hoverboots and finally on the entire length of his left arm from his shoulder down to his wrist is a thick stripe of light green and finally his swords sheath was strapped against his left leg. Hack reached up and pushed the button on the back of his neck and within minutes he faded from view, turning completely invisible. It took him seconds to sneak out the open back window –that his mother had left open on purpose- and get to the Zeta Tube near his house, click the button the back of his neck and become visible and step into the out-of-order telephone booth and get to the Cave.

The computer announced his arrival but he didn’t bother to wait for anyone to greet him, and made his way straight toward the combat rooms. Robin had said he wanted to test him or maybe it was talking, he couldn’t quite remember what the second in command had said, but he knew it was either to talk to him or to test him. He walked into the combat room and was slightly surprised to see Robin there, typing on his wrist computer. He bit back on his curiosity, as much as he wanted to go over there and look over the other boy’s shoulder, he wasn’t that stupid and besides it was none of his business what the acrobat was doing. “Hello Robin.” He greeted his teammate, allowing his armor to shift back into his usual Hacker Armor, the only thing that was different was that his sword reappeared strapped to his back instead of his leg like it had been. He smirked behind his mask as he watched the other boy, wanting to see his reaction, as his armor had never changed in someone else's presence besides his own before. Hack hadn’t bothered to show anyone what it could do, since there was never a need to. When Luz had first used the armor, he was scared out of his mind, he hadn’t understood what was happening, but after learning what he could do, how he could walk, run, jump, anything and everything he could do, made him giddy with excitement and he just had to go test out the limits of the armor, without his parents permission obviously. In short he had nearly gotten himself killed and had gotten himself grounded for a month by his parents when they found out what he had done… and what he had made.

Hack rubbed the back of his head, scratching the back of his armored head awkwardly as he chose his words carefully before he asked, “So… what did you want me for again?”

ROBIN LOOKED OVER AT the sound of Hack's voice. His computer screen and keyboard vanished as he gave him a grin. "Hey, right on time." He hadn't really set a specific time, but it seemed like something to say. He blinked, good at masking his surprise, as he watched the armor change. But it wouldn't be any fun to show no emotion and go all Batman on Hack. So, to entertain Hack and himself, he allowed his grin to widen. "I so need to get armor like yours. If Bats will let me of course." He figured it would be a bit of a pride-boost for someone to learn a Bat was jealous of them, and it wasn't a lie. He wouldn't have minded having armor like Hack's.

He shrugged at Hack's question, feeling a slight awkward atmosphere around them. He may have been the only one feeling it, but that didn't stop him from wanting to be rid of it. He nonchalantly shrugged. "Figured we could do some training. Maybe later go out for a bite? There's this place in Gotham that doesn't mind serving costumed vigilantes." He winked, though he wasn't sure if it was visible through his mask or not. He didn't want to bore Hack. He wanted the new recruit to enjoy training with him. If they didn't enjoy spending time together, then odds were they wouldn't do to good on a mission if paired together.

The Boy Wonder snapped his fingers and the combat room turned on. It was more for show, since he had actually hacked the Cave and set the combat room on a timer. It was all a matter of remembering how long the timer was set and when to snap his fingers to give the illusion that the combat room turned on with a simple snap. "I'm ready to begin whenever you are."
