Zatanna, Kaldur, Connor, M'gann were off-world on a mission on the planet known as Persephone, currently on horseback drudging through the desert in look for a special plant.
M'gann and Kaldur were dying under the hot planet sun, and Superboy's horse was about to collapse underneath the Kryptonian.
"Kal, why don't we catch a zeta-beam home? We aren't going to find anything out here, and I want to be back in time for Dick's birthday," Zee said with concern for her friends' wellbeing.
"Batman says this plant is a crucial ingredient in an antitoxin for the Scarecrow's new fear gas. We have to find it before he makes another attack on Gotham," Kal said fearlessly. He wiped sweat away from his brow.
Abruptly M'gann started vomiting over the side of her horse.
"You and M'gann should go back to the bioship and wait. You both aren't equipped to deal with this heat. Zatanna and I will keep searching and return at nightfall," Connor proposed, slowing down to help M'gann. Kaldur looked pitiful but determined. He sighed.
"We shall all return to the ship together. I don't want any of us to get lost out here," he explained and the four all turned their horses around.
After about an hour, they managed to make it back to the small, red ship in one piece. They were loading the ship and had returned their horses and were about to take off when Superboy picked a fetching, red flower off the ground and slipped it into M'gann's hair.
"It's pretty, like you," he said bluntly but sweetly.
"Connor! That's the plant we've been looking for!" Zee shouted gleefully.
"Really? There are a bunch of them here right by the ship. I noticed them earlier," Connor shrugged.
"I'll inform Batman," Kaldur laughed relieved. They all filed into the ship and began their journey home.
So, this little story was based off of a weird prompt generator called the Spinning Spinny Thing that I tailored for Young Justice to my own liking. Also, for all you Firefly fans out there, yes, they were on Persephone. If you haven't seen Firefly, don't worry, it reads the same. Anyway, it was just a short ficlet, but I hope you liked it! Reviews make my week and they only take a few seconds. I'll do a snoopy dance for you if you leave one. :)
