It was a long day of battling for the Team against the undead Solomon Grundy. Everyone was either hungry or sleepy, but both applied to Wally West, AKA Kid Flash. He checked his forearm compartment for his trademark energy bars, but the space was empty. He sped over to the kitchen, grabbing as many snacks and drinks as he could and sped back to his room. In his room, there were multiple large, wooden bookcases where the speedster kept his many souvenirs from almost every misson the Team has been on. He gobbled down on his food in no time, and eventually fell asleep a few moments later.
Elsewhere, Batman and Martian Manhunter were researching the stolen piece of technology that the Team had acquired from Solomon Grundy. "Why would an undead, semi-semtient monster protect this," asked J'onn. "Because he was under mind control. Whoever was controlling him tried their best to protect the tech, but obviously failed.," replied Batman. "Computer, analyze the origin of the part." A moment later, the computer failed to find out its origin, but did bring up a very important piece of information.
"Batman, I know that this is alien technology that we are dealing with, but are you sure that it is a alternate-universe teleporter?"
"Only one way to find out."
Batman walked over to the side of the tech, and pressed the button. Nothing happened.
"Hmm… Looks like I'll have to run some tests," said the Dark Knight.
"Alright Batman, I'm heading over to the Watchtower. Good night."
Ever the quiet one, the Bat said nothing. After setting up some tests for the alien part, the computer screen started glitching out, and blew up. Batman grabbed a nearby fire extinguisher to put out the flames.
"Damn. I'll have to run some tests back at the Batcave."
Batman grabs whatever was left of the computer and opens the zeta tube to the Batcave. He departs, locking the main room, where the tech remained.
Around 1:00 in the morning, a loud, earpiercing alarm spread throught Mount Justice. Everyone grumbled and tried to disregard it, but they all suited up, thinking it was a misson. All of them – Wally, Dick, Artemis, Conner, M'gann, and Kaldur - reported to main room, but no Justice League member was present. Kaldur, aka Aqualad, tried to radio the Watchtower about the alarm – which was still activated – but discovered that the main computer was destroyed. Robin looked over to the strange alien tech, and quietly observed it while the others were talking to Kaldur about setting up communications. Dick realized that the tech somehow must have activated the alarm, and called over the rest of his team to look at it.
"What in the name of God and all things speedy is this hunk of junk?" said KF.
"It's the alien tech that we retrieved from Grundy today, Wally. Whatever its' purpose is, it set off the alarm. Actually, Batman said that he and Martian Manhunter were going to do some tests on it to see what it is. Hang on, lemme check the security footage to see what went wrong."
Robin raised his gauntlet to his neck, hacking the computer's servers to watch Batman and Martian Manhunter work on the tests. He noticed that his mentor had pressed a button on the machine-thing, and with no results. However, he fast-fowarded through the footage until the teenagers came into the main room. He noticed something that Batman did not – a blinking red light on the alien tech.
"Well, at least we know what caused the alarm to go off," said Conner.
"But I have a feeling – a gut feeling – that something bad is about to happen," replied Wally.
A second after the redhead's comment, the little beeping light on the tech started to blink faster. Then all of a sudden, there was a great white light.
