The Logan Animal Farm
"Can't the bio-ship go any faster!" thought M'gann loudly. She hit the bio-ship, trying to make it speed up. The longer she took, the longer Riddler and Abra Kadabra had to kill the Logan's. She gulped as the same word repeated in her head; kill, kill, kill.
"M'gann," said the her uncle, tuning into her thoughts, "I know you are desperate to help, but do not lose your head down there."
M'gann, quite sick of this conversation already, told her uncle telepathically, "I know, I know, Uncle J'onn."
"I just don't want you to lose your literal head down there, just because you lost yours emotionally," replied the Manhunter in M'ganns thoughts.
Before M'gann could respond to his comment she squealed, "We're here!"
The bio-ship had barely landed before she jumpted to the ground, looking around for signs of trouble. She opened up a telepathic link with Garfield, Marie, J'onn, and herself. "Garfield! Marie! Where are you guys? Are you okay?
"M'gann?" came a confuzzled voice out of the blue. M'gann could recognize the voice of her half-brother anywhere.
"Garfield? Garfield! Where are you!" screamed M'gann.
It seemed to take forever for Garfield to respond. When he did his telepathic voice was panting and breathless, "Inside! Magician! Riddler!" His telepathic voice came in panicked and short breathed, not a good thing if your actual outward condition effected you telepathic.
"I'm coming!" M'gann thought, totally forgetting that her Uncle J'onn was there with her, levitated as fast as she could inside the Logan house, now exploding with sparks of light.
"Garfield!" M'gann screamed outloud. She broke down the door as she ran inside. M'gann had seen plenty of strange things on Mars, and even stranger things on Earth but this had to be the strangest of all. Abra Kadabra was estranging a green oxen in golden, magical chains as the Riddler, in his dumb green costume and stupid staff, set up…something in the corner, and in all the commotion, Marie was nowhere to be found.
The Riddler meandered up as the green oxen tried to escape Abra's strong chains. "Checkmate," he said.
Suddenly M'gann felt one thousand shocks in her body. She was instantly thrown to the floor. The white Martian looked up to see one of The Riddler's traps shooting dozens of taser-like shocks through her body.
Infuriated, Beast Boy changed shape and turned into a fly. Before Abra could tighten the ropes on his small, fly body he flew out of the way. He landed on the ground as he changed shape back to human. "Megan!" Beast Boy charged the trap as an ox again, but Abra cast him back with a 'magical' paddle.
"M'gann," said her Uncle J'onn desperately watching his niece. He closed his eyes; using his more developed telepathic skills and bent the mechanical death trap. M'gann's body instantly relaxed, but was passed out on the floor. "M'gann wake up! Screamed the green Martian in her head.
M'gann jolted up, hearing her Uncle's voice scream like a billion horns. "Garfield," was the first thing she said.
The more-powerful Martian got up slowly, still waking up from her electrocuted stupor.
After the green changeling was thrown across his living room and into a wall he groaned, beginning to lose consciousness.
"Beast Boy!" yelled M'gann. Using her psychic powers she hurled Abra against a wall. She flew over to him and shape-shifted her body to have multiple arms, like she had when fighting off Ivo's mechanical, monkey menaces in the battle against the amazing Amazo. She hit Abra in the face so many times that she couldn't count the number. She assumed that J'onn and Gar were defeating Riddler, but she didn't know for sure and she didn't care, all she cared about at that moment was pummeling Abra. Long after he was unconscious, she finally quite punching him in the face. "Nobody hurts my family," she hissed in Abra's face.
"Sis!" The small, redheaded boy's voice blared in her head. She turned around, shrinking her extra arms back into her torso. The Riddler had Gar's mother pinned to the wall, his specially made crook at her neck.
"Help me," she heard Marie whisper. M'gann let out a small gasp, feeling even more cornered than Marie.
"I can be joy or sadness, I can be easy or hard, I am the title of a great Nicholas Sparks book. What am I?" Asked the Riddler cruelly.
M'gann, who had never read a Nicholas Sparks book in her life found the last hint rather unhelpful. Without Robin around, she had no idea how to solve it.
"A Choice," replied the changeling helpfully.
"Thank God mom reads so much Nicholas Sparks," thought the changeling.
"A choice indeed, young Beast Boy," said the Riddler slyly. "You either let us go freely or a bomb will go off in say…twenty seconds." The Riddler glanced back at the contraption he was preparing when M'gann broke through the door. "Now, you might be able to get out, but I don't think poor Marie Logan will. Not if she's trapped by my crook!" Riddler laughed a deranged laugh as he finished his offer.
"Deal," said Garfield and M'gann instantly.
"Good choice," said Riddler. Before leaving, he stabbed his question-shaped staff into the wall around Marie's neck, entrapping her. "Ten seconds." He winked, grabbed Abra, and fled out the door like the coward he is.
"Now what?" Garfield asked desperately, holding onto his mother's hand.
Manhunter and M'gann both closed their eyes, with the same idea in mind. They bent the metal of the crook and Marie escaped freely. M'gann glanced back at the bomb, five seconds. "Let's go!"
J'onn was out the door first, M'gann followed close behind. Garfield, still holding onto his birth mother's hand came out right after M'gann. But before Marie could make it out of the house, the bomb went off. The explosion destroyed the house, leaving only flaming wood on the ground, igniting the grass along with it.
"No!" thought M'gann and Garfield simultaneously.
M'gann floated Marie's body out of the remains of the burning house. She laid her body carefully down on the ground. Marie was breathing heavily, completely passed out. The changeling took his mother's hand, crying hard onto her dying body. "Mom, hold on!" he cried out, trying to comfort her.
M'gann put all her weight on Marie's heart, trying to jumpstart it with pressure. "28, 29, 30," she called out each number. She put her mouth to the dying gingers. The rise and fall of Marie's chest had stopped completely by this point. M'gann continued trying, tears running from her face to Marie's each time.
Finally, after endless, pointless minutes of trying to revive the dead woman Martian Manhunter proclaimed, "She's dead."
Garfield lay down next to his mother, sobbing his eyes out, as M'gann stroked her hair. The Manhunter took his niece in his arms as she cried with the boy.
"I am so sorry," the green Martian said on the psychic link.
With a dying fire as the backdrop, three aliens sat, weeping as they stared down at the dead body of Marie Logan.
(Firstly, yeah, I know that my riddle sucked, but I'm not a riddle person. Sorry. Secondly, if all goes according to my vague plan, Marie Logan's death is the first but not last. :D Mwahaha)
