"Who you calling 'twerp'?" Superboy growls, throwing a punch to put the Underboss out for the count. It seemed a shame it only took one punch to lay the human out. "This is why fighting robots is so much more satisfying..."

1) Superboy swings at the Underboss again, rolling (6, 2) for a hit and dishing our 3 damage for the KO.

2) Supergirl notices the Intergang creep carrying the heavy-duty gun moving in from behind and panics, spinning around and lashing out with an uncoordinated fist. Luckily (rolls 6, 2) it lands and sends the criminal careening back into the reinforced wall of the bank.

Oh yeah. That's why I was going to push Andy.

1) Robot grabs at Cir. Needs a 9, gets an 8 as Supergirl wizzes around the large slow hand.

2) Lacky fires. Needs a 10, gets a 6. Bullets bounce off for no damage.

1) Lackey tries again, missing with a 4.

2) Robot tries again, missing with another 4.

"Where's the off switch on this thing?"

1) Supergirl charges to I18 and reaches into the circuit-and-wire guts of the huge robot, yanking out power lines and motherboards at random. Rolls (3, 3) for a hit. The hulking machine seized up and topples over onto the floor, totally inoperative.

"Ah shazbot," Cir pouts. "This is mom's VCR all over again."

2) Superboy flies to G17 with the Underboss in one hand, reaching for the last Intergang flunkie with the other.

Intergang has to clear.

1) Cir kicks the remains of the robot in frustration, sending them crashing into the last Intergang agent totally be accident and ruining Superboy's grab to capture him. Rolls (3, 3) for 2 damage and knockback.

"Cir!"

"Whoops,"

"There, that's more like it!"

[SENSOR SUITE: ON]

"Hey, she's awake!" Supergirl smiled, looking down into Steel's just-opened eyes. "I told you she wasn't dead!"

"What happened, what did I miss?" Natasha asked, as her friend helped her to her feet. "I was about to lay a beat down on an Intergang thug when my fuel cell crapped out on me. I couldn't even see out of my own helmet."

"Ohhh, so that's what happened!"

"We saw you freeze up," said Superboy. "Then one of the criminals tipped you over onto your back and fired a couple of rounds at you, but it doesn't seem to have left a scratch on your armor. "

"We were still worried about you though," Supergirl added with a concerned nod.

"Dammit, that's embarrassing. At least you two were here to stop them. You did stop them, right?"

"Oh yeah," Superboy nodded with satisfaction, casually cracking the knuckles of his fist.

"Great! Drag me over to their robot and I'll walk you through connecting it's memory drive to the ports I built into my armor. I can trace them back to their point of origin by cracking the log-"

"Oh, uhh... yeah that's gonna be a problem..." Supergirl trailed off. When Natasha didn't understand Superboy reoriented her to face the remains of the Intergang robot. One pile consisted of the gutted, crushed innards of its computer brains ripped clumsily from inside the robotic shell. The other pile was that same shell, hollowed out and crudely duct-taped together into a loosely human-sized suit of armor. Natasha had only a few moments to see Supergirl's disastrous attempt to build her own powered-armor before it collapsed into a clattering pile of junk.

"Supergirl, if I could move my legs right now you would be getting such a kick in the butt!"

"I just thought your robot costume was really keen," Supergirl offered by way of apology, looking equal parts sheepish and sorry. "But you can still find the Intergang hideout some other way? ...Right?"

[REBOOT COMPLETE. WEAPONS ONLINE]
[TARGETING... TARGETING...]

"...it's not a costume, you know. You like it?"

"Absolutely! All the bolts and shiny metal are just spiffy!" Supergirl answered, perking right up at the first hint that her friend had forgiven her. "A splash of pink would help people recognize that you're a girl robot though. What do you think Superboy?"

"I think," Conner said thoughtfully, having tuned out the girls' conversation halfway through. "That if you were able to predict this attack, then there might be something to all those notes you got from your mom. I should go find her and see if she has any more clues we could use."

"Good idea! I'll get my armor fully operational again-"

"and I'll detail it!" Cir added.

"-and we should be ready to join you when you have our next target."

Superboy nodded, taking off into the air to go find Lois Lane. Hopefully he wouldn't be gone long; it seemed like Supergirl would be able to keep Natasha safe and Natasha would be able to keep Supergirl out of trouble, but he'd still feel better when he could keep his eye on them personally. Twice as many super-powered teenage girls held twice as much potential for trouble.
