Author's note: Like many of you who love Young Justice, I was upset that its run was cut tragically short and didn't even get wrapped up entirely. This is my idea of what a season three would be. Hope you all enjoy.
The Watchtower
Green Lantern (Hal Jordan) was on monitor duty at the controls. Batman walked up to him.
"I see you're still at monitor duty, Hal" said Batman.
"Just making sure everything's alright" said Hal "Have you been talking to Dick lately?" Batman didn't reply. "Bruce, you must accept that you'll need to bring him back sometime soon"
"He's a changed person now" replied Batman "He feels responsible for what happened to Wally"
"Then you have to remind him; next time you see him, tell him that the best thing he can do is make sure something like that doesn't happen to someone else" said Hal. At that moment, the screen turned red and started beeping. Hal started examining it.
"What's that?" asked Batman.
"Unknown object detected" replied Hal. The beeping sped up. "The levels are getting knocked off the charts!" At that moment, a large spiky, asteroid-like object flew past the watchtower. He started running to a doorway. "I'll handle this" He flew out of the Watchtower and gripped the object with his ring. The object was flying at very powerful force and it soon started pulling him down.
"Hal, the object is too heavy for your ring" said Batman through Hal's comlink "You have to let go or it will pull you through the Earth's atmosphere"
"Wait for it, wait for it..." said Hal through gritted teeth. He slowly moved it over before letting it go. He then started flying back to the Watchtower. "Had to make sure it was nowhere near a civilian population"
"We have to track it" said Batman through Hal's comlink. He looked closer at the computer. "There's something else. According to the few scans the computer performed, it's alive"
Meanwhile in South Dakota
The object had crashed into a desert in South Dakota. It was night-time and the moon was out. It lay buried under the ground. Suddenly, a large fist with protruding spicks smashed out of the ground and clenched itself. The fist soon started to dig itself out. The fist belonged to a giant muscular, spiky monster with red glowing eyes. The monster looked at its hands for a few seconds then started laughing evilly. Its voice was deep and menacing.
"Free!" said the monster "Finally at last!" It continued laughing over and over.
My name is Nightwing. A few years ago, the Justice League formed a team of their protégés. Under League authority and under the guidance of Batman, Red Tornado, and Black Canary, we went out on covert ops missions. We soon realised that the attacks were all linked to the Light, a secret society of supervillains determined to take down the Justice League. And now they and many other villains threaten the future of justice.
My team: Aqualad, Kid Flash, Superboy, Miss Martian, Artemis, and many more who have come and gone. But a year ago, during an endgame event to stop an invasion, Kid Flash vanished... into thin air. The team now works in the Watchtower alongside the League. But I no longer see my place on the team, and I've taken a leave of absence. Now the battle continues; there's always a new threat ready to emerge...
Operation: Doomsday
The Watchtower
Red Tornado walked through the hallways of the Watchtower with someone by his side.
"And now we're getting close to the main room, Victor" said Red Tornado.
"Thus ending my tour of the base, Red" said the person next to him. Victor Stone (also called Cyborg) was a Justice League trainee. He had black skin, black hair, and his right eye was brown. Most of his body was silver cybernetic enhancement with his left eye being glowing red. He had a round red light on his chest and one on his waist.
"Just to run it through you again; you've been assigned to this station and you have to watch over the team on some of their missions" said Red Tornado.
"In short; I have to stop them from getting themselves killed" said Cyborg.
"In a way, I guess" said Red Tornado "They're all still shaken after what happened to Wally West, the original Kid Flash"
Meanwhile
It was now day-time in the South Dakota desert. Suddenly, the ground started to shake. The giant shadowy creature stomped up to a cliff.
"Earth..." said the creature "Still a pathetic excuse of a planet. Superman was foolish for believing I'd be trapped in space forever. But as soon as I landed, the League will probably come along. Such cruel fate; am I destined to become defeated and trapped by Superman once more?" It smiled evilly. "Not if I crush every last life in him first! He shall pay for what he's done!" At that moment, an inhibitor collar shot down and snapped onto his neck. It turned on. "What?" At that moment, it started electrocuting it. "AHHHHHHHHH!" It fell down unconscious. Three helicopters flew in. One of them landed. The door opened and Hugo Strange walked out. He smiled evilly.
"What a marvellous specimen" said Strange "I just knew we'd get him one day. Do we have the resources to take him?"
"Yes sir" replied one of Strange's men.
"Good" replied Strange "We'll use the containment suit I designed for him"
Meanwhile
Superboy sat in the Watchtower's lounge area. He held his head low. His thoughts started to drift off.
Connor's flashback
Superboy watched along with the other team members as the Flash, Kid Flash, and Impulse ran in circles. Kid Flash slowly started to vanish until he became nothing. He then heard a soft female voice call out.
"Connor..." called the voice.
Back to reality
Miss Martian leaned over to him.
"Connor..." said Miss Martian. Superboy didn't reply. "You alright?" Superboy still didn't reply. "Listen, I just wanted to remind you; what happened to Wally wasn't your fault"
"I know" said Superboy with his head still low "But I still can't believe it. He's gone" Miss Martian stretched up.
"I know" replied Miss Martian. She slowly walked over to the window and looked down at Earth. Superboy stood up and walked over to her. Miss Martian sighed sadly. "I know we've got the Watchtower as our base and all, but I miss the old days. Mount Justice; just you, me, Dick, Kaldur, Artemis...Wally..." At that moment, a green sparrow flew into the room. It landed on the couch and transformed into Beast Boy.
"Sis, Batman's called the whole team together for a briefing" said Beast Boy.
A few minutes later
Superboy, Miss Martian, and Beast Boy ran into the main room. Batman, Red Tornado, and Cyborg stood in front of the team.
"So now we're all here" said Cyborg.
"Who's this?" asked Superboy.
"Team, this is Victor Stone, better known as Cyborg—he's a Justice League member in training" said Batman.
"I'm here to provide some...let us say, support fire" said Cyborg.
"We don't need support fire" said Superboy.
"He's here to help with his training" said Batman. At that moment, one of the zeta-tubes started to lighten up.
"Recognised" said the zeta-tube voice "Nightwing-B01" Nightwing appeared.
"Dick!" exclaimed Batgirl with excitement "You came back!"
"Welcome back" said Superboy.
"Thanks, old friend" said Nightwing. He looked at how Superboy had his hand around Miss Martian. He smiled. "I see you two are back together" He looked around. "But the team seems smaller then I remember"
"Over time, it become too much for some" said Aqualad "For Karen, Mal, and La'gaan, it was too much and they went their separate ways. It's good to see you're coming back"
"Not entirely" said Nightwing "Just this one mission. I just wanted you guys to know I'm still active; and I'll accompany you on this one mission"
"Just in time for the briefing in fact" said Beast Boy.
"Wait; where's Virgil?" asked Nightwing. The team looked at each other.
"Virgil is dead" replied Aqualad "But we have no time to discuss it. We have a mission"
"Last night, a strange object fell past the Watchtower and through Earth's atmosphere" said Batman "Green Lantern managed to keep it away from any civilian populations but it still needs to be examined. We're sending the team in to investigate"
"Sounds easy" said Bart Allen, now Kid Flash.
"Really?" said Blue Beetle "Last time we found something from outer space, there was an alien fleet, countless people being experimented on, and a giant scarab trying to destroy the planet"
"I'll prep the bio-ship" said Miss Martian.
A few minutes later
The Martian bio-ship flew out of the Watchtower. Bart Allen started looking down.
"You okay, Bart?" asked Tigress.
"Yeah...fine" said Bart "Absolutely crash" He looked at his reflection in the glass and for a brief moment he thought his reflection turned to that of Wally West. He sighed. "Absolutely crash..."
"We're arriving at the drop zone now" said Miss Martian. She lowered the ship, created an exit, and they all got out using cables (except for Superboy who simply jumped out).
"Woah!" said Beast Boy.
"What do you think the object is?" asked Robin (Tim Drake).
"Something big" said Nightwing. Standing in front of them all was a giant crater. "Whatever is here is long gone by now"
"So, what's next?" asked Wonder Girl.
"Follow the footprints" said Nightwing.
Meanwhile in Hugo Strange's new secret hideout
The creature awoke. It looked around. After awhile, it realised that it was trapped in a strange containment suit and was strapped to the wall.
"What's...What's happening?" said the creature "Where am I?"
"Just remain calm" said Hugo Strange through the intercom.
"Who are you?" snarled the creature.
"I am Professor Hugo Strange" replied Strange through the intercom.
"A human?" said the creature "A human overpowered me?" Stranger himself was hidden in a bunker painted black in order to blend in. He watched the creature through a computer screen.
"Just remain calm" said Strange into the intercom "We're just going to run a few tests. You know, I've been anticipating your arrival ever since the Man of Steel banished you. That's why I prepared that suit you're wearing"
"Let me go now and I'll make your deaths quick!" snarled the creature.
"Unlikely" said Strange into the intercom "That containment suit and straps are designed to hold twenty full-grown Kryptonians—"
"Have you tested it?" snarled the creature.
"No; but it is estimated" replied Strange into the intercom.
"I'm not twenty full-grown Kryptonians" snarled the creature "I'm something much worse!"
"Be silent, please" said Strange into the intercom "Surgeon, are we ready?"
"X-ray scanner is at its highest" said a surgeon "In his contained state, it may prove somewhat painful"
"Doesn't matter" said Strange "Go ahead!" A large scanner came down and started scanning the creature, much to its pain.
Meanwhile
The team followed Nightwing through the desert.
"Do you think it's still here?" asked Robin. They came to the end of the footprint trail. Standing in front of them was a large body mark, the one the creature had created when it collapsed. "That answers my question"
"Where do you think it's gone?" asked Superboy. Nightwing crouched on the ground. The ground was stained red. He stroked his fingers across it and looked at them.
"Well, there's blood" said Nightwing. Beast Boy ran up to a small bony sharp sticking out of the ground.
"Cool!" said Beast Boy. He picked it up. "Souvenir!" Nightwing walked up to him.
"Thanks for the DNA sample" said Nightwing.
"Oh...okay" said Beast Boy now noticing the blood stain on it. He gave it to Nightwing.
"Nightwing to Batman, we've uncovered a DNA sample" said Nightwing into his comlink.
"Good work" said Batman out of Nightwing's comlink.
"Unfortunately, the object is long gone" said Nightwing into his comlink "I request to return to the Watchtower so I can study the sample"
"I'll send Green Lantern to retrieve you" said Batman through Nightwing's comlink "Batman out"
"Well, seems our reunion was short-lived" said Nightwing.
"Listen; it's not just a reunion, Nightwing" said Aqualad "You knew from the moment you returned to the Watchtower that we wouldn't just let you go"
"You know how it is, Aqualad" said Nightwing "I...I can't" He and Aqualad continued discussing. Superboy meanwhile tuned it out and started hearing multiple footsteps approaching. He then could hear voices; then guns getting loaded.
"Everyone, get down!" said Superboy. The whole team ducked down just before countless men jumped out of the bushes and started opening fire.
"Quite an uneven fight" said Tigress whilst preparing her crossbow "For them, that is"
"Open fire!" ordered the leader of the men. The men started open fire again. A large battle soon ensued. "Strange, this is Squad 05—"
Meanwhile
"—we've discovered trespassers" said the Squad 05 leader out of Strange's computer comlink "It's the League's younger team"
"Hmmm; I knew it was only a matter of time until we crossed paths again" said Strange "The Light's not going to like this. Keep them busy; I'll discuss with my paymasters about what to do with them"
"Affirmative" replied the Squad 05 leader. Strange walked down a hallway and then into a small room with six screens. The screens came to life revealing the leaders of the Light (except Vandal Savage).
"Strange, what do you report?" asked Lex Luthor.
"One of my patrols has discovered the Justice League's younger team" said Strange "They appear to be on the trail of Project Kr 2.0"
"They must not know of your location" said Black Manta.
"Why are you even still here?" said Klarion the Witch-Boy. Teekl meowed. "That's right, Teekl; he brought a mole into our system. Why should he still be part of the Light?"
"Be calm, Klarion" said Ra's al Ghul "It wasn't Manta's fault. The child used this opportunity to betray his own father. He is a victim as much as the rest of us. And we will take this opportunity to our advantage"
"There is much about Martian biology that I wish to learn about" said the Brain.
"So what is the final decision?" asked Strange.
"Have your men capture the Martian and the Superboy" said Luthor.
"What of the others?" asked Strange.
"Destroy the others" Strange smiled evilly.
Meanwhile
"Guys, I've achieved a psychic link; do you read?" said Miss Martian psychically.
"Understood" said Aqualad "Team, listen carefully; Batgirl, Robin, use your smoke pellets on the gunmen"
"We're on it" said Batgirl "Did you get that, Tim?"
"Absolutely" said Robin. He and Batgirl got out their smoke pellets and started firing them at the squad.
"Kid Flash, you know what to do" said Aqualad.
"You bet!" said Bart "This is gonna' be so crash!" He ran into the cloud of smoke and returned with the guns of the whole squad. As the smoke cleared, a pile of unconscious men was seen.
"Well, we're not going to get any lip from them now" said Miss Martian.
"We don't need to" said Superboy "Overheard one of them talking on their comlink. They claim to be working for Strange"
"Strange?" said Nightwing "As in Hugo Strange, that warden at Belle Reve who was using his position to work for the Light; had a feeling it was only a matter of time 'til he came back in action" At that moment, Hal came down from the sky.
"Someone call me?" said Hal.
"'Bout time" smirked Nightwing. Hal created a green orb around him and they both flew off. "Batman, I think I know who took the object—"
Meanwhile
"—we were attacked by men who we believe were working for Hugo Strange" said Nightwing out of Batman's comlink.
"It's possible" said Batman. He started looking on a Hugo Strange's profile on the databank. "Ever since we discovered that he run Belle Reve as a font for criminal activities, he's been on the run. We've come close to capturing him several times but he keeps escaping our grasp"
Meanwhile
"Strange, we believe Squad 05 is defeated" said Strange's assistant "I advised that we send another squad out"
"I've already sent something out" said Strange "Someone greater than
Meanwhile
"What next?" asked Wonder Girl.
"We should find Strange" said Aqualad "That felt like just a patrol. Strange must be located somewhere in the area. M'gann, we'll need the bio-ship"
A few minutes later
The bio-ship zoomed over the desert camouflaged. Blue Beetle looked off in the distance. He suddenly noticed something.
"Guys..." said Blue Beetle. The rest of the team turned their heads to where he was looking at and gasped. Two small military drones were flying towards them at great speed.
"Military drones" said Batgirl "What are they doing out here?"
"I'm guessing that they're being controlled by Strange" said Beast Boy.
"Should we run?" asked Batgirl.
"Don't worry" said Miss Martian "I don't think those drones are adapt at spotting Martian camouflage"
"Don't be so sure" said Aqualad "Hugo Strange is no ordinary enemy. He'll be prepared for this somehow"
"I think the chances are a million to one we get" said Bart. At that moment, one of the drones shot at them.
"Seems they shot the one" said Tigress.
"How can they see us?" said Blue Beetle.
"I don't know" said Miss Martian "We'll have to use evasive manoeuvres" They boosted off at great speed. A long chase ensued.
Meanwhile
Nightwing stood at the Watchtower's databank. Cyborg walked up to him.
"Have you figured it out?" asked Cyborg.
"It's analysed the blood" said Nightwing.
"Listen; Batman and Red Tornado told me what you've been through" said Cyborg.
"I'm not gonna' lie when I say this; after what happened to Wally, I thought about retiring completely" said Nightwing "But I knew that I couldn't simply do that" He turned back to the screen. "The closest thing it found was a Kryptonian"
"A Kryptonian, huh?" said Cyborg "Do you think Superman knows this?"
"I'm unsure about that" said Nightwing "This Kryptonian has really screwed up DNA. I've never seen anything like it: no flight, no heat vision, etc. But it seems to makes up for it in physical strength. Just imagine the size on that thing" Batman entered and walked up to them.
"Do you know what to do now?" said Batman.
"Of course" said Nightwing. He tapped a button on the control panel. "Create a 3D model of the lifeform so we know what we're up against"
"What do you think it looks like?" asked Cyborg "Do you think it's something the League's encountered before?"
"I have a hunch" said Nightwing "I just hope I'm wrong"
Meanwhile
The bio-ship flew ahead swerving away from any shots. Suddenly, one of the drones swooped in, attached onto the ship, created a hole with a laser, shot out an inhibitor collar at Miss Martian, retracted out two mechanical tentacles, and reached over to her.
"Get away from her!" said Superboy. He grabbed the drone by the tentacles and pulled them out. This caused lots of the drone's insides to come out as well, causing it to fall to the ground. "You alright, M'gann"
"Fine, Connor" replied Miss Martian. Suddenly, another one of the drones came to the other side of the ship, created a hole with a laser, shot an inhibitor collar at Superboy, and used its tentacles to pull him and Miss Martian out of the ship. Tigress immediately jumped up to the controls.
"We're going after them" said Tigress. She sped the ship up after the drone. But the drone was too fast, and zoomed away from them quicker than the Flash on steroids. "What's with those things?" Robin looked outside at the crashed drone.
"I think I know how to find out" said Robin.
A few minutes later
Superboy woke up in a pod, much similar to one he was found in years ago in Cadmus. He realised that his hands and feet were strapped to it. He tried to pull out but realised he couldn't because he wore an inhibitor collar.
"What's going on?" said Superboy to himself. Strange entered.
"So good to see you again, Superboy" said Strange.
"You!" said Superboy.
"Surprised?" said Strange "Even without my position at Belle Reve, the Light gave me a new position. Luthor has become very interested with you; and the Brain's become very interested with the Martian"
"What have you done to her?!" said Superboy.
"Relax; she's safe, for now" said Strange "The Brain's merely become intrigued with her...physiology"
Meanwhile
Miss Martian lay in a small pod surrounded by Strange's men. He tapped on the glass.
"Let me out!" said Miss Martian.
"What are ya' gonna' do; crush us with a single thought?" said one of Strange's men. All of Strange's men laughed. "That inhibitor collar cancels your abilities..."
"I get it" said Miss Martian "What do you want with me?"
"Correction; what does the Brain want with you" said a voice. Strange entered.
"Hugo Strange!" said Miss Martian quietly to herself.
"In the flesh" said Strange "The Brain requested to have you delivered to him; he's become interested on Martian physiology and if it can be replicated"
"What about Superboy?" asked Miss Martian.
"He belongs to Lex Luthor now" replied Strange.
Meanwhile
The team stood around the remains of the destroyed drone. Robin grabbed what remained of what appeared to the main processor and connected it with his wrist device.
"So you say you can track Superboy and Miss Martian?" said Aqualad.
"You bet" said Robin "Track, find; you name it" A screen appeared on his wrist device. "Interesting; this thing can see through Martian camouflage. That's how they knew we were there"
"Strange certainly comes prepared" said Wonder Girl.
"There, I can track the place of origin now" said Robin "They have a homing marker to make sure these drones don't get lost; just made it easier to find them"
Meanwhile
Strange stood and watched the creature. It was being given multiple shots from laser shots. The shots were so powerful that the creature was started growl in pain.
"Surgeon, have you penetrated the skin yet?" asked Strange into one of the computer's comlink.
"Not yet" replied the surgeon "His skin's tougher than anything we've ever encountered. It seems to be starting to get hurt; so I presume it may have some kind of effect"
"Try harder" said Strange "The Light has been waiting years for the opportunity to explore this creature's biology" One of Strange's men arrived in the room.
"Sir, the carrier for the Superboy and the Martian has arrived" said the man. Strange smiled evilly.
Meanwhile
The bio-ship zoomed across the desert. Tigress piloted the ship whilst Robin gave directions on his holo-computer.
"Continue going forward for a few more seconds" said Robin "Stop...now!" Tigress stopped the bio-ship in front of a 30 foot tall rock. "This is as far as we can get in the bio-ship"
"Whys that?" asked Blue Beetle.
"The drones appear to share a hive mind" replied Robin "When I hacked into that one back there, I found out all the security systems in Strange's hideout. He's apparently placed a sensor field around the area that can detect Martian technology"
"Then how are we supposed to get in?" asked Tigress. Aqualad noticed a squad of men returning to the rock. The leader of the squad walked up to it. A scanner scanned him, the area in front of him opened, and the squad walked in, leaving the entrance to close behind them. Aqualad then saw another squad walking towards the rock.
"I've got a plan" said Aqualad "But I'll need to consult with Robin first"
Meanwhile
Superboy was wheeled out in his pod by Strange's men towards a hanger and past the creature's cell. He overheard the creature's growls in pain.
"What's that?" asked Superboy.
"None of your damn business" snapped one of the men.
"Fine!" said Superboy "Just asking" He was wheeled out into the hanger. He saw Miss Martian in her pod.
"Miss Martian!" said Superboy.
"Superboy!" said Miss Martian.
"What did they do to you?" said Connor.
"Nothing" said Miss Martian "But Strange says he's going to hand me over to the Brain for experiments and he's giving you to—"
"To Luthor" said Superboy "I know; he said it to me too. I swear; if that lump of flesh does something to you then—"
"Don't worry; we'll get out of here, I know we will" said Miss Martian. Superboy looked around. Two other pods were in the hanger bay. The first one was completely sealed except for a small view slot. The other pod was facing away from them; what was inside couldn't be seen.
"What's in the other pods?" asked Superboy.
"I don't know" replied Miss Martian "But if it's Strange, it can't be good"
"Do you mind keeping it down?" threatened a female voice from within the slotted pod. A familiar icy blue pair of eyes peered out from the view slot. "Some of us prefer to dream of killing Strange in peace!" The eyes frowned. Superboy and Miss Martian knew immediately who was inside.
"Killer Frost!" said Miss Martian.
"In the frost!" smirked Frost.
"What are you doing here?" asked Superboy.
"After Strange was found out, he escaped Belle Reve and took me with him" said Frost "He seems to be trying to weaponize my cryokinetic abilities for his own schemes...to no avail, of course"
"What's in the other pod?" asked Miss Martian.
"How should I know, girlfriend?!" snapped Frost "I've been stuck in this container for the last few years" Superboy noticed that the side of the pod was labelled Project: Flashpoint. At that moment, Strange entered.
"Are the specimens ready for departure?" asked Strange.
"Not yet" replied one of Strange's men "We require all squads to be present for this departure. Squad 06 should be back any second now"
Meanwhile
"Now remember, Kid Flash; start running just before they enter" said Aqualad "Without Miss Martian's psychic link, the only way to communicate is by comm.; but as that is subject to interception, you'll have to remain radio silence, you'll be on your own. As soon as you are inside, find them and get out. Don't stop for anything else. Clear?"
"Transparent, Aqualad" replied Bart whilst saluting.
"Ready?" asked Aqualad.
"Ready's my middle name!" replied Bart "Wait, no, that doesn't work; I eat ready for breakfast!"
"Just get inside" said Tigress.
"Let's get to it then!" said Bart. He jumped out of the bio-ship and hid in the bushes. He watched as Squad 06 approached the rock. As soon as the leader was about to be scanned, he sped off towards the entrance and just made it through.
"Did you see something?" asked one of the men.
"Nah; just your eyes playing tricks on you" replied another one of the men.
Meanwhile
Bart remained hidden behind crates in the hanger.
"I can't free them if I have to take down all these guys to do it" thought Bart "I'll have to think of a quieter approach" He looked carefully around the hanger until he spotted what appeared to be a light switch. He smiled. "Of course; take out their sight before they know what's going on, whoo! But I'll not be able to see anything either; I won't be able to release something I can't see." He thought for a second. "Unless...I memorise my surroundings first; of course!" He zoomed off to a crate next to Miss Martian. Squad 06 arrived in the hanger.
"Ah; Squad 06, you've arrived" said Strange "We'll need all squads on standby in the slightest chance of collar failure"
"The collars can fail?" asked the Squad 06 leader.
"No, no; this is just a precaution" replied Strange "The chances of collar failure is a hundred to one. But as you know; I prefer not to take chances" Miss Martian noticed Bart hiding behind a crate. He smiled and gave her a silent "shoosh" mark. Miss Martian was about to smile but didn't in case she drew attention. Bart got ready to zoom past the light switch to turn it off.
"Now; we'll be taking these two separate pods to two separate locations" said Strange "The first one will be carrying the Martian and will be taken to the Brain's new hideout in the Everglades. The second will carry the Superboy to LexCorp in Metropolis" At that moment, Bart zoomed past the light lever and pulled it down. The lights instantly went out. "What happened?! Turn your torches on now!" The men turned their torches on.
"Sir, the Superboy and the Martian are missing" said one of the men.
"Find them" said Strange.
"Right away" said the man.
Meanwhile
Superboy and Bart ran down the hallways with Miss Martian flying with them.
"It's so good to see you, Bart" said Miss Martian telepathically.
"Was there ever any doubt?" said Bart. Superboy heard running foot sounds.
"We're being followed" said Superboy. They ran past a set of doors. Miss Martian stopped then shut and locked them telepathically. The men ran up to the door.
"Break open that door!" said one of the men.
"Those doors won't hold them for long" said Miss Martian "We have to go, now!" She started flying with them. Superboy stopped and ran up to the door. "Connor!"
"Go on without me" said Superboy "I'll fend them off" Miss Martian hesitated for a second but followed Bart again. The men broke open the door.
"Lock and load!" said one of the men. He fired an inhibitor collar at Superboy who simply dodged to a side.
"So you've put the inhibitor collars in guns" said Superboy "You guys think of everything"
Meanwhile
"Robin found the map of the facility in one of the drones" said Bart "The control room's this way; we'll open the hanger doors in only a few minutes"
"I hope Connor has that long" said Miss Martian.
"There's the door to the control room" said Bart "Robin told me that it only accepts authorized personnel. We'll have to go through it" He zoomed right through the door. Miss Martian was about to density shift until she stopped suddenly.
"I can feel someone's pain" thought Miss Martian "I have to help them!" She density-shifted through the wall.
Meanwhile
"That was easy" thought Bart.
"Hey; you're not supposed to be here!" said one a voice. Bart turned around and saw that two men were sitting at the controls. They stood up and pointed their guns at him.
"Oh-oh!" said Bart. The two men shot but he ran behind them and knocked them unconscious with each other's heads. "Well; now that I'm here, I might as well get to work. Wait, where's Miss Martian? Miss Martian?"
"Sorry; there's something I have to do" said Miss Martian.
"What are you talking about?" asked Bart. Miss Martian turned off the psychic link. "Hello? Hello?" He sighed. "Guess I should do what I came in here to do" He walked up to the control panel and typed into it. He had memorised the information that Robin had extracted from that drone so he knew how it work.
Meanwhile
The doors of the hanger opened wide.
"Who authorized this?" asked Strange into his comlink.
"I'm not sure" replied a man through Strange's comlink "We're trying to get through to the door control personnel but they're not responding"
"Forget about it" said Strange into his comlink "It doesn't matter at the moment. Focus on retrieving the subjects"
Meanwhile
"Alright; with that done, I should find the others and get out" said Bart. He was about to leave when he heard a beeping noise coming from a small device on the controls. A holographic screen was projected by the device. It remained in static for a few seconds. When it cleared, it revealed the future Nathaniel Tyron. "Nathaniel!"
"Bart, I've been trying to reach you for ages" said Nathaniel.
"Nathaniel, I stopped the Reach" said Bart "Everything's going back on track. And I'm...Kid Flash..."
"If only" said Nathaniel.
"What do you mean?" asked Bart.
"There's something you have to see" said Nathaniel. He moved aside slightly. Bart's jaw dropped.
"My god!" exclaimed Bart. The holographic screen showed a post apocalyptic city, burned and in ruins. He could briefly see the ruins of a planet-shape building with the words Daily Planet around it. "What happened?"
"I've been looking through what records remain" said Nathaniel "There is a sequence of events you're about to encounter that will lead to this"
Meanwhile
"Okay; I hope I can find it before it's too late" thought Miss Martian "I wonder what it is" She looked around and suddenly gasped. Standing before her was the creature, still strapped to the wall. She looked down at the surgeon and a few other scientists.
"We may finally be onto something" said the surgeon "His secrets are about to come into the light" Miss Martian immediately flew down.
"Let it go!" said Miss Martian.
"It's the Martian!" exclaimed the surgeon.
"Let...It...GO!" said Miss Martian.
"Shoot her down!" said the surgeon. They grabbed pistols from beneath the control panels and started to shoot. Miss Martian simply deflected them telepathically and the bullets hit them. She flew down and landed in the control room. She picked up a bullet and squeezed it because it was rubber.
"You guys were sure lucky that you had packed your guns full of rubber bullets" said Miss Martian. The creature let out a deep moan. She turned around to face it.
"Who are you?" moaned the creature.
"I felt your pain" said Miss Martian "What are you?"
"I'm what the creatures of this planet call a monster" replied the creature "They chained me, tortured me"
"Why are they doing this to you?" asked Miss Martian.
"It's what humans do" said the creature "They fear what they do not understand. And humans hate what they fear; and they destroy what they hate. Do you fear me?"
"No" said Miss Martian "I understand what it feels like to be rejected"
"Then you would know that a life without rejection is no life at all" said the creature "At least I meet someone who knew what it felt like and...didn't reject me for what I am. I may even die...not being rejected" Miss Martian clenched her fists.
"You're not going to die" said Miss Martian "Because I'm going to free you" She walked over to the controls.
Meanwhile
"So you tuned the device to this time because you knew I'd be in here" said Bart "And you want me to help stop the coming events"
"Yes" replied Nathaniel "You must help the future"
"And I will" said Bart "I'll start by finding it" He brought up the security cameras on the control panel. One of them showed the creature's cell. He saw Miss Martian deactivating the creature's containment. "No!" He grabbed the holographic device and ran through the door.
Meanwhile
The creature collapsed off of the wall. Miss Martian flew down to it.
"Are you okay?" asked Miss Martian. At that moment, the creature pushed her out of the way. The creature started laughing evilly. He then started to rip off his containment suit. After ripping off the head piece it was fully revealed. The creature was about 8 feet and 10 inches tall. It had a large, muscular, grey body with bone protrusions pointing out of it. It wore green pants but nothing else. It also had sharp teeth, long white hair at the back of its head, and piercing red eyes with no pupils. "Who are you?"
"Your death!" snarled the creature. It raised its foot to squash her but she density-shifted when he did it. The surgeon began to regain consciousness. The creature sniffed the air. It stomped over to the control room, slammed its fist in, and pulled out the surgeon.
"Please!" begged the surgeon "Don't kill me! I beg of you!" The creature put its other hand around him and started to squeeze.
"You should have known better then to try to conquer me!" snarled the creature. It squeezed harder and harder until eventually (well, I think you knew what happened to the surgeon). Miss Martian gasped. The creature turned its head towards her and started to charge. She flew up and density-shifted through the wall. She sighed in relief once through.
"Freeze!" said a voice behind her. She turned around and saw three men pointed their guns at her. Suddenly, Superboy landed in front of her. The men started to shoot but all their bullets bounced of him. He then punched them in the face.
"Told you I'd fend them off" said Superboy with a smile. Miss Martian looked down. "What's wrong?"
"Superboy, I've done one of the worse things" said Miss Martian.
"What?" asked Superboy. Miss Martian was about to answer when the wall suddenly collapsed down. The creature stomped in. It looked down at Miss Martian.
"You made a big mistake, freeing me!" said the creature. It then looked down at Superboy. "Where's Superman!?"
"What do you want with him?" asked Superboy.
"Vengeance!" snarled the creature. It slammed its fists together. "Where is he!?"
"What did he do to you?" asked Miss Martian. At that moment, there was a flash of yellow and red and both of them were pulled away.
"Did I miss anything?" said Bart.
"Good to see that you've arrived" said Miss Martian "Did you open the hanger doors?"
"Indeed I did" said Bart "Which means we've gotta' get out of here"
"Do you know what that thing is?" asked Miss Martian.
"It's..." said Bart before realizing what he was about to say "...I don't know what it is either. We need to get to the hanger, quick"
"I'm surprised you can still run fast whilst holding us" said Miss Martian.
"Hardly, you're slowing me down" said Bart. The creature stomped behind them.
Meanwhile
"What is the meaning of this?" asked Strange whilst the building shook.
"The prisoners have released the creature" said a man.
"Have they gone insane?" said Strange. He ran into the meeting room. The members of the Light appeared. "Masters, the prisoners escaped and have released Project Kr 2.0. What must be done?"
"Set base to self-destruct" said Queen Bee "Cover all evidence"
"Save Project: Cryokinesis and Project: Flashpoint must be saved" said Black Manta "Use only one of your planes, and make sure any men you don't take with you are silenced"
A few minutes later
A group of men loaded Killer Frost's pod and the Project: Flashpoint pod into a plane. Strange walked up to a captain.
"Sir, we've taken all the men the ship can hold aboard" said the captain "What shall we do to the rest?"
"Leave it to me" said Strange. The remaining men ran into the hanger. "Unfortunately there's no more room for any of you in either of our planes"
"Sir, you can't do this!" begged one of the men.
"Don't worry, I've sent for reinforcements" said Strange "Until then, stand your ground"
"Stand our ground?" said the man "Our weapons have no effect against this thing" Strange frowned. "Uh; of course, sir" Strange smiled and walked aboard his ship. The two planes flew out of the hanger. "You heard him; we have to stand our ground"
"Can't we just run out of the hanger?" asked another man.
"It makes no difference" said the first man "It'll just come after us sooner or later. Besides, we've got reinforcements coming to pick us up"
"Do you trust Strange?" asked the second man.
"I trust him with my life" said the first man.
Meanwhile
Strange sat on a seat in front of a screen with the members of the Light.
"They won't leave" said Strange "They trust me with their lives"
"They better" said Black Manta.
"Did you save the projects we asked you to?" asked Lex Luthor.
"As you requested" said Strange "Project: Cryokinesis" Two men wheeled Killer Frost's pod into the light.
"Let me out!" snarled Frost "Unless you want to stay the way you are forever!"
"And of course—Project: Flashpoint" said Strange. Two wheeled the Project: Flashpoint pod into the light. Inside, in an induced coma, was Wally West still in his Kid Flash outfit.
"Excellent" said Lex Luthor.
Meanwhile
Superboy, Miss Martian, and Bart arrived into the hanger. Bart skidded to a stop when he saw the men.
"Get them!" said one of the men. They started to shoot.
"Seems we'll have to fight our way out" said Superboy. He grabbed a crate and threw it at the men. Miss Martian started to levitate crates and threw them at them. Bart started zooming around quick.
Meanwhile
"Start it now" said Black Manta. Strange got out a remote and pressed the red button.
Meanwhile
The lights turned red. An alarm rang.
"Self-destruct sequence initiated" rang the alarm voice. The hanger doors started to close.
"We've gotta' get out of here" said Bart. Superboy ran over to the doors and held them in place.
"Quick go!" said Superboy. At that moment, the creature smashed into the hanger. Miss Martian took one look at it—the abomination she had freed.
"We have to go" said Bart. He and Miss Martian ran to the doors.
"Ten" said the alarm voice "Nine. Eight. Seven. Six. Five. Four. Three. Two" Miss Martian and Bart ran through the doors. Superboy let go and went with them. "One" The whole facility exploded. Luckily, all three of them had escaped the blast radius. Bart looked up.
"With him gone, the future has to be safe" thought Bart "It just has to be" The bio-ship flew near them.
"Look, there they are" said Wonder Girl whilst pointing at them.
"Tigress, swoop down" said Aqualad. Superboy and Miss Martian got up.
"You alright?" asked Superboy.
"I'm fine" replied Miss Martian. She looked back at the fiery remains of the facility.
"M'gann, I know there's something wrong" said Superboy. Miss Martian sighed.
"I freed that monster" said Miss Martian. Superboy's eyes widened. "I felt its pain; it told me that it had been rejected by everyone and I thought—" Superboy grabbed her and hugged her tight.
"It's alright" said Superboy into her ear "It's alright; it's gone" Miss Martian let out a sigh of relief. Suddenly, a large chunk of debris flew out of the facility remains and landed meters away from them.
"What was that?" asked Blue Beetle.
"Look!" said Beast Boy whilst pointing at the facility remains. At that moment, the creature leapt out of the ruins and landed on a hill.
"Revenge is...mine!" said the creature. It leapt off continuously. "I am the death-bringer; I am the destroyer; I am...DOOMSDAY!"
"What have I done!?" exclaimed Miss Martian.
Author's note: So this is what I've got so far. I'd like to mention that if you have any suggestions; feel free to leave it in the comments.
