Not you again!
So after the torture that was karaoke and then later having to deal with the...Pippi girl, well...Thomas needed to get out of the city for a short bit. And the arms dealing he'd been working on shutting down in Gotham had a trail that led back to Hub City. After the fiasco last time he'd tried to shut down the arms trade in Gotham (and had a buffoon crash it then think he was helping well...) he needed a big win here. That last encounter had ruined his plans and he'd needed to start from scratch.

 
No, this was not a happy Robin swinging towards the secret meeting place.

Thomas won't have to get very close to tell something's amiss.

First off, there's a really big head-shaped spaceship floating over the warehouse.

Secondly, the roof of the warehouse is a good thirty feet higher than it should be over the approaching urban horizon. The Hyper Teen is holding it aloft, as a number of panicked yells are coming from inside. A few of the braver wretched souls are hanging out of windows, ineffectively pelting him with bullets and the occasional laser, even as some of the more sensible of their number try to stop them from undoing the thing that's holding them all aloft at what would be a very unpleasant distance to drop while still inside a building.

"HA-HA-HAH! You may have escaped justice once, evildoers, but not this night! Varon has studied your recorded offenses and accessed your planet's primitive but stalwart's law enforcement communications. After that, the workings of a hyper mind were more than up to the task of deducing your next gathering!"

Thomas lands on a nearby rooftop and stares. Oh not this guy again. Why did he have to pop up?!

Besides, this part of the mission was supposed to be recon and then he'd get the info for who's supplying them, how it's getting into Gotham exactly and the location of their main stash. But subtlety was out the window now. Or well...it had left the building when the roof had.

His plans foiled by this guy again. Robin grumbles and gets close enough to pull out his grappling gun and shoot a line at the warehouse, swinging towards it. Reeling in the line, Robin hangs from the lifted warehouse so he can glare.

"What are you doing?"

"Ah! There you are my enigmatic friend! Behold~! I, Varon - THE HYPER TEEN, have captured so many evildoers that once eluded you! I was planning on flying over Gotham to show you before I deposited them with the local law enforcement." He grins proudly, reaching out to grab a bullet in mid-air before it would hit the brightly-clad one.

But Robin does not look impressed. "Yes, good for you, but these aren't the same ones as last time where you ruined the plan. And I came for information, which is what this meeting of theirs was for. The major shipment of guns is elsewhere, and that would require this over-the-top show of force." He really just sighs now because nothing was really going his way anymore, well that just meant improvisation.

He takes a deep breath, grits his teeth and has to force himself to do this next part. It was necessary but a small part of him is dying inside at even having to do this, but a tank like this guy would be useful for shutting down as much of their stash as he could. "Your...enigmatic ally will forgive your previous intrusion that resulted in his plan to enact justice on evildoers and ruffians going awry...if..." Deep breaths and just get through this already. "If you will listen to him and participate in his mission to uphold firearm laws, protect the innocent and..." Oh he really had to force this last part. "And bring another great victory for..." Cringe. "...Justice."

Varon casually tosses the bullet aside as he listens to the young man. He hadn't realized he'd been intruding on efforts beyond simple incarceration.

"Hm. It would seem that the Hyper Teen owes you an apology, friend. How shall I address you to do so?"

His face lights up as the other young man continues though. "Truly?" He looks about ready to toss the building aside as casually as he did the bullet, and hug Thomas. "I would be most thrilled to undertake such a crusade! Where shall we deposit these rapscallions while we do so?"

There are no words to describe how thankful he is that he isn't getting those hugs. "Robin is fine for addressing me. And yes yes that's all well and good but you have to listen okay?" Oh wait, translation. "Ahem, I mean: The successful completion of this mission requires careful coordination and communication in order for us to uphold the values of peace and order." Frankly, he wanted to punch himself for saying this stuff but that could wait. "Wrap them up and deposit them at the nearest law enforcement station and from there we shall venture out discretely into the night and wage war on the forces that would endanger innocents."

Shoot him now.

Varon nods sagely. "Your noble intentions are to be respected, Robin. Varon will aid you in your quest, and the tales of our deeds shall give hope to the helpless, and inspire fear in those without ethics, morals, or appropriate hygiene.

Now, if you would be so kind as to back up, the Hyper Teen shall set this structure down and restrain the scoundrels within for delivery to the local jail." His variety pack of hyper powers, speed in particular, make that a rather easily accomplished task.

What had he gotten himself into? It was too late to back out now but at least it seemed there was a method to handling this madness. Without another word he lets his line out then swings back to a nearby rooftop to wait. This guy made the mess, he was cleaning it up.

But really, fear in those without hygiene? What?

It doesn't take long until the few dozen criminals are in police custody. A few of them will walk for lack of evidence and absence of outstanding warrants, but the company they're now confirmed to keep won't do them any favors in the future. Varon returns to the location, patching up the pavement and utility connections from where he moved the building.

"You can come out now, my friend. You cannot evade my hyper senses, and you have no need to do so anyway." He calls into a particular section of shadows.

"If I wanted to sneak up on you I would have. But seeing as how you're going to help me I don't see a point in doing that," he points out from his perch in the shadows where he'd been watching Varon clean up. He still thought that lifting the building had been over-the-top and caused far more damage than needed. A quick patching up wasn't going to fix things well, but what was done was done. Might as well use this guy's powers to his advantage and clean up the main stash of weapons here in Hub City before they ever got to Gotham.

He brushes off his hands, then claps a hand down on Robin's shoulder. "Where shall we proceed to now, my friend?"

He bristles slightly at the contact but holds any more disapproval in. "We've got a few places to hit and only the rest of the night so let's be efficient here. Follow me and do try and be discrete. It'll ruin things if you aren't." With that he disappears back into the shadows to take the rooftop express to their targets. He hoped just because the guy had Superman-like powers didn't mean he had to do everything so...out in the open. They needed to be quiet for this part.

"I shall be ever the very model of stealth. My discretion shall put even the cryptid ninjas of Gaimchett 5 to shame!" Varon proclaims, before falling silent.

It's about the length of one block before he takes it upon himself to scoop up Robin by his underarms. "I believe this will ease your travel, and negate any sound your footfalls might garner. Navigate away," he whispers.

He fumes when he gets picked up. Flying was never as stealthy as people thought. Because there were more shadows to hide in on the rooftops and any movement was often attributed to stray animals but flying...well that was hard to attribute to just a bird and besides, no shadows to hide in.

But this guy clearly didn't listen. So Robin reaches up to grip the guys shoulders, swings his feet to get some momentum, and then flips onto Varon's back. Well now he felt like some weird surfer but it was better than being carried around at least. From his position crouching on the guy's back, Thomas gives the directions they need and makes Varon stop about a block away from their destination.

"I'm going to try and put this in a way you understand it." Deep breath again. "Our valient mission is in two parts. First, I shall venture into the den of our enemy and scout the premises. There I shall make arrangements for the destruction of the highly illegal and unsafe cache of weaponry. Once complete, I shall leave the premises, without alerting any of our foes, and it will be your turn. Listen carefully. You will evacuate all people and animals, kittens take priority, so as to preserve their lives in the event of any accidents. I will set off the destructive measures. Then you shall take the pile of evidence I will give you and place it at the entrance of the former dwelling we just vanquished. We shall repeat these steps at another few locations until most of the illegal firearms stored in this city are taken care of and..." Cringe again. "Justice is victorious."

"Any questions?" Should be simple enough, a quick in and out. He sets up the explosives, Varon on evac, then blow the place, leave the evidence and move on. If they're fast enough Thomas may be able to keep his sanity.

"Such concern for small helpless animals. Varon already suspected his ally was pure of heart, but now it is confirmed." He smiles happily. "I understand the plan." His face turns serious. "I will await your signal."

They arrive at the first location and he watches carefully as Robin dismounts. "I will be listening for if anything goes awry. You need not fear while you have entrusted me with your safety and the success of your crusade."

Thomas rolls his eyes beneath the mask but is glad the guy seems to have listened, and at least now he had confirmation of the guy having super-hearing.

"Good. It won't be long."

And true to his word he doesn't take long. He's done this sort of thing before and sneaking in, avoiding any sentries, and setting up the explosives in the correct way so as to not effect nearby buildings, all of it is done with practiced ease. He does take an extra minute or two to remove a few guns as samples for the evidence pile and take pictures of the crates and anything relevant for conviction. Once done he sneaks back out and makes sure Varon can see him indicating that he's up.

Varon nods, then complies with lightning speed. Less than a minute later, all people and animals have been cleared. Some pigeons are particularly cross with the alien. To say nothing of the sentries.

He signals to Robin to proceed.

In that minute Thomas organizes his pile of evidence and puts it all together. Once Varon gives him the go ahead, he taps a button on a remote he'd taken off his belt and there's a moment of silence. Then it can be heard and the ground rumbles as the carefully timed explosions go off. When it's over it's clear the nearby buildings are unharmed, and the remains of the weapons cache are burning away.

"I've already called the police, they should make it here soon with firefighters in case. Place this pile in the front for them to find. Then let's move onto the next one."

"A most impressively coordinated demolition, my friend." Varon pats him on the back heartily, grinning. "I shall deposit the evidence, and we shall proceed!"

And so he does. "After our crusade this evening is complete, would you like to get pizza?"

Thomas has to once again clench his teeth and bristle silently at the contact. But as long as he wanted this to be fast, he needed Varon around. And that meant putting up with stuff.

"Yes yes, post-crusade pizza is fine," he sighed. "Let's move onto the next few."

The press will be buzzing for weeks about the one night blitzkrieg on the illegal weapons market. The two of them make short work of each and every stop on Robin's list, and finally, the sky is beginning to lighten as they deposit the last necessary evidence.

"A job well done, my friend. Now, let us seek out a late-night eatery, to properly reward ourselves for our victory! Hahahah!"

"Alright. Victory pizza is fine," he concedes and swings toward a pizza place they'd passed by. Good thing the night had been a success. He wouldn't have been able to do all the locations without Varon's superspeed working for him. Luckily he always kept some cash in the belt.

"Any allergies?"

Varon sighs, but decides not to quibble. "I shall await you there, then." He gives Robin a nod of respect, then makes a hop up to the roof with a mere feat of strength, rather than flying.

Robin appears later on the roof, swinging up with a large pizza box in hand. Meat Lover's Supreme of course. Because when you spent a full night crimefighting you tended to get starving. And no way was he going with vegetarian.

Varon, through some means or another, had managed to set up a table and chairs for them to eat at. "Ah! At last! Let me assist you with that my friend. While you were procuring the food, I took the liberty of acquiring refreshments." A pitcher of lemonade and one of soda are each on the table.

"...Where did you get these?" He hoped Varon would return them. There was nothing wrong with eating pizza with your feet dangling off the edge of a building. But oh well.

He puts the pizza down on the table along with the cheese sticks so they have a full meal. "Post-mission pizza it is."

"I found some discarded scrap metal and crafted the furniture myself. I had the drinkware and beverages on the Interstellar Headship, my vessel." Varon explains, holding out Robin's chair for him.

Robin simply puts his hand on the back of the chair and pulls it out more himself before sitting. He doesn't need to, it's just to send the message that the chair pulling was not very appreciated. "Where are you from exactly?"

Varon seats himself and starts eating as well. "Oh, now that I am most happy to divulge, my friend.

I hail from the city of Tynol, the shining jewel in the crown of the Sombrero Galaxy that is the planet Valeron! Long have my people and our ways served as a bastion of peace and prosperity against the savage brutes that populate the rest of our planet.

This is excellent pizza."

"Terrans are.... very widespread. You seek to fill up and exploit every last bit of arable, and unarable, land you can find, you squabble over rights to fuel and perceived historical significances. You have nearly two hundred defined countries and more than ten times that many languages. The majority of your species treats other lifeforms, however rare, as disposable. While almost archaic by some culture's standard, and not widespread, you've made more technological advances within the past century than some cultures do in a millenium. It's beautiful and terrifying all at once." Varon says, leaning back in his chair and gazing up at the stars as he eats.

"Your fashions are undecidedly backward though. They seem to have peaked about forty years ago, and then just went... askew." He shrugs. "But the food and the women are amazing."

While he does manage to hold back a shot about how everything must be perfect then in the Sombrero Galaxy, he has to raise an eyebrow at the fashion one. "...The 70s? Really?" Talk about backwards. "But I'll agree on the food and women. Though I suspect the latter must be hard for you with all the strange customs."

As he says that last bit, an idea forms in his head and a decidedly mischievous smirk starts. Oh he has the perfect revenge for a certain someone. "Actually...I know someone who might be right up your alley for that. Civilian I saved a while ago, complained about lack of dating life. Very nice, quiet girl, does charity work and all. I think the best way to describe her, in your terms, is...a paragon of virtue. Helping the innocent and impoverished, while never failing to maintain that impeccable reputation for respectability and decency in the face of society's injustices. I think you'd get along."
