Sue+Sid: WAIT A MINU-(are sucked into a vortex)

Tobey:(munching on shrimp toast) MMPH?

Oh, never you mind dear.

STORY!

STARTO!

It was supposed to be a good day. He'd woken up, managed not to fall off his bed, and Mr. Wu had even let him sit with Barney and eat while the others went out. Barney was pretty funny, almost like a brother to him. Even if he didn't know the real situation.

"TOBEY!" The scream had him running for the streets. Outside was chaos. There were several carts on fire, and people ran screaming in terror.

'Just another day in Chinatown...' He thought sarcastically, jumping over trash cans and collapsed carts. He caught sight of his Nana, producing a shield that guarded her and his friends, who were crouched on the ground. It looked like Sid had a gash on his arm, and Sue was chanting a healing prayer under her breath.

"Guys!" He shouted, only to catch his foot on a trash bin and face-plant straight into the ground. "Oh, that was NOT heroic. Not at all..." He groaned, clutching his now bleeding nose. The taste of blood in his mouth was not new, nor unusual.

"Ah, so my idiot of a son has come to defend you, Mei Hua?" Tobey froze, blood steadily dripping down his chin as he turned on the spot. There, hovering just above the ground via strange blue orbs, was Kong Li.

"Quit calling me that! I'm NOT your son! HIYA!" He launched himself into a kick intended to connect with Kong Li's head, but instead met empty air. He cried out as he was flung through the air, landing hard on his side, and consequently, his shoulder. There was a muffled CRACK! and Tobey began to whimper in pain. He bit through it, and rose on shaky legs to join Nana under the shield.

"Hey guys..." His voice was a choked whisper, pain laced through it. Sid's forearm was mostly scar now, and Sue muttered a few more words before turning to the other male.

"Aiya! Tobey, you know better than to face Kong Li head on. It's practically suicide!" She hissed while starting up a new chant. Sid gave a dry laugh and reached out with his uninjured hand, brushing the strange white Z-shaped lock of hair his friend boasted.

"Lay off, Mei-Mei. He at least got close. I can't say we did much better. I just don't get how Kong Li managed to get such a powerful recipe." He grunted, a sly grin on his face. Sue managed to push Tobey's shoulder back in, fixing the bone inside it through the chant, and all three darted out from behind Nana into fighting positions.

"Oho, going to try and fight me?" The man, wicked looking down to his soulless blue eyes, reappeared in front of them. He began to chant loudly, his voice stabbing the air like angry hornets, as the three charged forward.

The next thing Tobey knew he was waking up inside a giant canister and staring at a green-skinned girl.

(A few moments before)

"I still can't believe I had to come here." Superboy grumbled, his eyes darting back and forth as the six made their way through the halls. Robin looked up from the mini-screen on his wrist, smiling slightly at his friends agitation.

"Just keep it cool, SB. We know you hate anything to do with CADMUS, but there's no denying the huge energy surge that was recorded here two days ago. Batman said this facility was shut down almost four years ago because some crazy experiment went wonky and up and tore the place apart." Kid Flash, who had been trying to slow down enough to walk next to M'gann, suddenly clutched at the smaller boy's shoulders.

"Uh, by that, do you mean there some living, breathing, psycho experiment that could possibly tear us limb from limb, waiting in these unlit hallways we're walking through?" The raven haired boy grinned almost devilishly at his red-headed friends response.

"Oh yes. In fact it might even come to us. Let's see...HEY!" The sudden shout made them all jump. "IF THERE'S ANYTHING THAT LIKES TO EAT PEOPLE, WE'RE RIGHT HERE ON THE THIRD FLOOR!" Faster than his namesake, Kid Flash had his arm jammed against Robin's mouth, which was open in a muffled, hysterically giggle.

"Godammit, if something comes after us now I swear you will be the first sacrifice!" The green-eyed boy snarled quietly, still hearing the echo of Robin's voice around them. Artemis then grnned, snuck behind the frazzled speedster, and let her bow drop to the floor resulting in a loud, echoing BOOM! noise that had him running and jumping into Superboy's arms. The clone was not affected by the weight, but stared in agitation and confusion at his team-mate, who shivered in his arms like a kitten wet in the rain.

"Okay, enough fooling around you guys. We need to find whatever caused that surge and get out. I hate to say it, but this place does not feel right." Aqualad said, wrapping his arms around himself. "There is...evil in the air. Something thick and dark." Kid Flash backpedaled until he was flush against their leaders side, ignoring the look he received.

"See? Even Kaldur's spooked! What if the thing isn't even here anymore?" The group fell silent as the realization sunk in. Kid Flash was right; they had no proof that their target was even still in the building. Until...

"Huh?" The sound came from Kid Flash, who seemed unshaken now. They stared at him as he tilted his head, looking one way then the other. "Did...Did someone just say something?" They all shook their heads. Artemis opened her mouth - and clamped it shut as Wally whirled around, his heart-beat loud enough to hear.

"HELLO?" He called down the hall they had come from. And a few seconds later, a freakin' gust of wind ran towards them, and Robin shuddered as he felt something respond to him.

Kid Flash took off in the direction, every once in a while checking over his shoulder to see the others. He tilted his head as he rounded a corner, signaling them to go the same route. Robin was first to walk around the corner - before almost colliding with Kid Flash's back.

"Yow! Geez, Wally, just stop right in front...of..." Robin trailed off, his mouth dropping in horror. Aqualad went to ask what was wrong, when the rest of the group rounded the corner and froze.

It was a scene straight out of a horror movie. Blood coated the walls in thick, dark streams of sludge, seemingly burned into the very surface, and bodies, rotting from the heat of the room and a surplus of insects, lay strewn about the floor. Standing in the middle of the room was a tilted pod, can-shaped and foreboding. It was splattered with blood, but for the most part seemed to be the only thing in the room not heavily damaged. Robin crept forward, and when Kid Flash went to snatch at his elbow he turned and shook his head, pressing a fingertip to his mouth.

The boy wonder made his way through the maze of gore, wincing when the stench wafted by his nose. He managed to get close enough to press his hands against the metal, and was surprised at what he found.

"Guys, you're not gonna believe this, but I think this thing is what caused the heat wave. It must've scorched up all those guys." He muttered quietly. M'gann used her telekinetic powers to lift the others over the morbid coverings of the floor, and down on the patch of space around the pod. Superboy felt the smooth surface, not even wincing when his fingers drifted over a spot that could've singed human flesh.

"Right here." His murmur caught the others attention, and before they could respond he had pushed down on a panel. The pod broke apart, and inside was the last thing they expected.

It was a young boy, Chinese from the tone of his skin, small framed with a slight build. He had black shaggy hair, which was adorned with a strange, almost Z-shaped part that was bleach white. He was wearing a white tank top, studded wristbands, and a pair of black jeans. There was a chain belt threaded through the belt loops, and his boots were combat style, as though he was trained to fight. He was lying on his side, as though taking a nap. There were several intakes of breath, before they realized they had just breathed in noxious human decay stench.

The sounds seemed to be enough to rouse the boy, as his limbs twitched, and he sat up, rubbing at his eyes tiredly. His eyelids fluttered to reveal doe brown orbs, innocent in contrast to the scene of carnage around them.

"Wénzì?" The voice was soft, confused, and became even more so at the sight of the team. He began to speak faster, until Robin raised his hand in a signal that meant to be quiet. The boy complied, glancing about the room with wide, frightened eyes.

M'gann made the mistake of flying up next to him. "Hi there! I'm M'gann! Are you hurt?" The boy screamed and spun around, trying to bury himself in the metal. The martian girl gasped and backed away.

"Hello, Megan, not everyone is used to you." She muttered to herself quietly. Kid Flash stepped forward and held out his hand. The boy cowered for a few more moments, before slowly turning his head to see the speedster.

"Uh, ni-hao. I'm Kid Flash. We aren't going to hurt you." He said slowly. The boy did not take his hand, and shrank again. "Oh, no, no, no! I'm a friend!" And without any regards to the basic code Batman himself had put down, he pulled his cowl away, letting the boy see his face. Aqualad and Robin both gasped, because there was no doubt the dark mentor would have a chat with Wally later.

That didn't matter at the moment, as the boy seemed to calm down and reach out his hand to Wally's. The moment their hands touched, Wally felt a sort of hot flash rush up his arm, and he knew, without a doubt, that this boy had somehow caused the heat wave. But it didn't make sense; this kid was about as threatening as a puppy. He grabbed the boy's hand and pulled him out of the pod. The boy rocked on his feet, swaying slightly.

"M'gann, can you see if he knows what happened here?" The green-skinned girl nodded, and focused her mind on the younger. She sighed after a few moments though.

"I'm sorry. There's literally nothing there. It's as if his mind has been completely wiped blank." Aqualad frowned at that. The boy, who was pressed against Wally looking at the floor in fear, relaxed slightly as the red-head held onto his elbows. Only to start panicking as the building began to rumble around them.

Read and review people! That's the only reason I write, after all! No, unlike Never Easy and Broken Chords, this story is all it's own. And Wenzi is sort of along the lines of 'Where am I?' If anyone knows a good translator, I could really use it.
