Premise: A routine sparring session takes an unexpected turn.
A lot more went into being a Justice League member than suiting up when your comm. link beeped or pulling monitor duty. Most of those Michael chafed at, or at least would whine shamelessly at Skeets about when he had to do any of them. Not this, though. The routine combat assessments had every watermark of being work... Except for one thing.
He had an audience.
Booster Gold ducked under a wide swing from a hard-light construct that he was squaring off against in the training room. "Not so fast," he tutted. He grabbed the wrist of the figure and hurled it across the space to crash into the wall and shatter. The bits of hard light faded while Michael flashed a winning grin up at the viewing platform and the numerous Watchtower technicians managing the session and recording data.
Skeets hovered alongside them, his crimson eye staring through the clear window that separated them. Over the intercoms that connected the two rooms, Booster Gold heard recorded applause piped in, courtesy of his sidekick. He gave a mock half-bow and propped both fists on his hips. "Come on, guys. Give me a challenge, will you?"
The techs checked their readings, seemed to notice something, and smiled conspiratorially at each other. Which Skeets noticed, but Michael was too busy being smug to. "All right, Booster Gold," one of the techs answered over the speaker. "Let's see how you do with this next one." Michael laughed. "Whatever it is, bring it-"
The doors to the training room at his back swept open. Booster Gold glanced absently over his shoulder, then froze. Wonder Woman stood there, blue eyes staring at him. "-on?"
