Chapter Two: Let Me In
The team was simply hovering in the air, the Bio-Ship in camflauge mode. "So what exactly do we do now?" Artemis said, obviously bored. Zatanna turned to her and pulled out the blue cloth. Shge laid it out flat in her hands.
"Dnif eht renwo." She said quickly. Soon the scrap levitated in the air. Zatanna turned to Megan. "Can you open...a window or something?" Megan nodded enthusiasticly, closing her eyes and making a fist sized whole in the windsheild. the scrap soon flew forwards and shot out the window. I looked back to the magican.
"Now what?" She smirked and sat back in her chair.
"We follow it."
...
"Just sit back and follow it right? What an ideal plan!" Artemis complained, grabbing onto her seat tightly as the ship made another sharp turn. Zatanna glared at her in annoyance.
"Well how was I suppose to know he was this freaking fast? He could give Wally a run for his money!"
"Oh hardy har har." The red head said as he tried to calm his stomach down. Worst rollercoaster ever, he thought.
Megan and I simple sat comfortably, Conner and Kaldur just looking a little queasy. I don't know about Megan but I was use to this type of motion after enough times riding in the Batplane. Sometime ago, said Martian had the ship bring up a giant GPS tracker, us being the green dot and him being the red. But there was something off about the guys chose of movement. Batman always told me to zigzag if I was every being chased but this...oh!
"Guys this isn't going to work out." I said. "He knows weree following him, though I don't know how."
"Then how are we-" Megan started but was cut off by her boyfriend.
"He stopped." Conner stated. We all shot there heads to the GPS and Conner was right. The red dot stopped moving. Kaldur turned to all of us.
"M'gann, we abandon the Bio-Ship and take to the ground." She nodded and landed the ship on a rooftop. "You and Artemis go west. Conner and I will go east. Kid Flash, you'll go south. Robin and Zatanna go north and report if was have located our target. If we have no luck we meet back here in an hour. Are we clear?" Kid Flash did a mock salute.
"Crystal." As we all started to exit, I turned back to see the red dot moving again but slower, wondering where mystery man was exactly. I immediately slumped my shoulders as I glumly got of the Bio-Ship. Great

The figure manuvered its way over rooftops and around alleyways. Great... he thought in fustration, I knew I should have stayed away. I help someone and now a giant flying ship is after me. He jumped down from the rooftop, into an alleyway and looked around slowly. Cars were flying down the street in front of him. Can't go behind him. He really didn't want to discover what was in Star City's sewers. He turned to the right and saw a larger park and behind it...perfect. He slowlys formed a portal and seeped into the darkness.

'I hate the woods.' I thought grumbled as I hopped over yet another nest from my postiton in the tree.
'You do?' Megan questioned.
'You didn't complain back in Santa Prisca.' Wally chimed in from wherever he was.
'That's different. Santa Prisca is an island and has forests. Star City is a city with nasty, unawesome woods. I just can't get traught in the woods, with its ordinary trees and disease infested raccoons.' I replied as I jumped to the next brach on a different tree.
'But I don't-'
'Shut up Baywatch! It's over! She doesn't like woods. Period. End of Story.'
'Please, Blondie this is so not- Oh I found him!' Wally thought proudly.
'Alright Wally wait for us, we're coming.' Kaldur stated.'Ok, I stay on his tra- uh oh.' Wally said.
'Wally what did you do?' I thought dejectively.
'I just-' "AHHH!"
'WALLY!' We all thought as we headed towards our teams cry of pain.

The person walked on the ground slowly, already learning from his earlier experience that it was unsafe to fly as these branches were old and unpredictable. He clenched his upper left arm more tightly, blood leaking out of his fingers. He muttered the three words over again while trying to find someplace (he'd hide under a pile of leaves right now) to stay out of sight as it was about 1:00, the sun was high in the sky and these trees were a good distance apart.
"Azarath Metrion Zinthos...Azarath Metrion Zinthos...Azarath Metr..." He was about to rest on a tree went he felt it. The strong and sudden appearence of the feeling of anticipation. He changed his mind and keep walking straight, ears now picking up the light crunch of feet against the authum leaves. He stopped and turned around slowly to a bush. Before he could even raise his hand to stop his follow, he was suddenly impacted by a red and yellow blur. Falling to the ground, he bent his head to see an upside down (from his vision) red head male approaching him. Not thinking twice he threw a black beam at him, cause the former to scream out.
"AHHH!" the new comer yelled, holding his eyes. That sound made the cloaked person stopped all plans for getting away. He brought his hands near of his face, blocking the afternoon sun, as if just recognizing he had them. I just...I hurt someone...with my powers. He laid there in shock, put off by the quick realization.
"KF, are you ok?!" Someone, a female, called out. KF just groaned in response. He was suddenly attacked by strong, multiple, emotions of determination and worry. Needing to get out of there, he tried to get up but let out a gasp as pain shot up his right leg. Sitting up, he just now noticed that his ankle was lodged inbetween to big rocks. Focusing on concentration instead of the blinding ache, he spread his fingers and two black hand like forces pushed the rocks aside and let the pain travel further up the wounded appendage.
Taking in a deep breath, he continued his search for safe haven.

We got there just in time to see our target fly away, soaring over a groaning Wally. Everyone jumped down from their places and ran towards the speedster. I got there first and knelt down next to my best friend.
"Wally, are you..." the green eyed boy waved the hand that wasn't covering his eyes in an airy manner.
"I'm fine, just follow him." he said in a restrained voice. Everyone looked taken aback.
"But Wally...your eyes-"
"Will be fine once you catch him. Now go." He said, clearly standing by his decision. Looking up at Kaldur, I sent him a silent message with my eyes. He apparently got it as he took a deep sigh.
"Alright, M'gann you say here with Wally. The rest of us will move in with caution. Artemis and Zatanna take to the trees, the three of us wil search from the ground. Everybody stay close, we are doing this as a group." He knelt down next to Wally and placed a webbed hand on his shoulder.
"We will be back, my friend." With out any other word we split into our groups, ready to have a word with this stranger.

He hobbled through the woods, hand still clenching arm and now with a busted ankle. He would bump into various trees and continuously pause to take in deep breaths to push back the pain. It was just pure luck that he happened to literally stumble across the small pond. He plopped down on green grass, the only thing truely green in this wilderness he has seen so far. He rolled up his sleeve and examined the wound. For some reason it was still bleeding but only slightly, not as much as when he first got it. It was deep but not deep enough to see the bone. Luckily it didn't hit his artery either.
He bit his lip and quickly poured water on it to keep away infection. It didn't do much but it was sufferable. Dropping his sleeve, he bent down to check on his ankle...until he felt it again, the determination, though it was coming in stronger waves. He tried to run away, but started on his bad foot and rapidly fell back on the greenery. That was when his teachings finally came back to him. He stopped fighting. Never should have started in the first place, but now there was nothing he could do. He laid there and waited for them to get him. I give up.

We all ran, the older girls from branch to branch, the boys jumping over rocks on the ground, a nice fifteen feet away from where I was. As my side neared an opening, I slowly began to see grass instead dirt. I also saw what I was looking for. The blue cloak.
I instantly ducked behind a bush and contacted the others. 'Found him. He's near the pond.'
''All right, stay put.' Conner thought, I could practically feel him going into bad ass brother mode too.
I rolled my yes and looked back at the blue cloak, the person underneath bunched together in a human ball, his back facing me. He suddenly tensed and jumped forward only to fall back on the grass, laying on his right side. I could faintly see him grabbing his left arm. My eyes widened. 'Guys, he's hurt.' I heard all movement stop. I looked back at the form. He didn't attempt to get back up.
'Is he...dead?' Zatanna asked warily. I rolled my eyes and huffed out a breath.
'No, 'cause dead things don't breathe. I'm going to check on him-' I was cut short.
'No, you're not! Stay there, it might be a trap.' Wally's frantic voice practically screamed. I heald my head at the sudden headache approaching.
'Robin. Stay. Put.' Conner stated.
'Wally is right, my friend. He might be fooling us.' I smirked bitterly, sudden ticked off with the brotherly protectiveness.
'Well, we'll just ave to see about that, now won't we.' And with that I got out of my hidding spot. I inched toward him, basically tipping toeing to the guy. Yet he did nothing. Just laid their. Once I got near his knees, I knelt down and poked him with my finger.
"Hey, you still alive in there?" Okay so maybe I was kinda spooked when he scoffed but it was only out of precaution, not me being afraid. No fear here, he he...
"It took you long enough." He (definitely a he) said softly.
"You were waiting for us?" I asked, slightly confused. Explains why he didn't get up.
"There no point in running if you know you're going to lose." He stated in the exact same voice, though the time round it was slightly more monotone.
"Lose? We came here to find you so we could thank and congratulate you for helping out the Justice League." This guy scoffed again.
"If chasing me around and demanding me to go to an unknown place with you if thanking me, you've got one twisted version if a welcoming committee." He said, attempting (keyword: attempting) to get up.
"Hey, let me help you." I offered, not waiting for a response as I helped him into an upright position. I felt a liquid stickiness when I touched his arm. My eyes widen. "You're bleeding!" The person flinched.
"It nothing..." he said but I wasn't listening as I took my cape and wrapped it around his wound. I turned back to the woods.
"As you can see, he's not the big bad threat like you said so come out and help me!" Slowly they all crawled out from their marks and came near until they were about three feet away from us. Then I took out some gauze (totally forgot I had it) and wrapped his ankle up. The was slightly trembling but didn't make a noise. Once I finished, Superboy picked him up bridal style (the guy still didn't care, but he keep a good hold on his hood) and we started to head back to the ship.
'Megan we have aquired him. Head back to the ship.' I felt the strangers eyes on me but ignored it. 'Is Wally o...hold on a sec.' "What was that?" I asked the guy. He had said something to me, but I didn't hear.
"I didn't...I didn't mean to hurt him." He said in his soft monotone voice. Even though he held no emotion, I knew he ment it. I flashed him a smile.
"Don't worry, Kid Flash is a fast healer." I said as we exited the woods ran acrossed the street. As we were making our way back up to the roof, Conner asked a good question
."So what do we call you? You got a name right?" Artemis ali chimed in.
"Yeah, I'm getting pretty sick of mentally calling you 'that guy' or 'blue cloak dude'." The guy was silent for a few seconds and I guessed everyone just thought he ignored the two
."You can call me Ravon."

Two Weeks and Six Days Ago...
The woman ran through the halls, looking despreatly for the monks. She burst into the main temple, where she could see the head monks sitting in their chairs, the way they were station made it looked like they were surrounding the little girl with dark blue hair and the puppy with flaming black/blue fur.
"Gezo, have you seen-" the monk, Gezo, held up his hand.
"We are already on it, Arella." the monk looked from his position in his chair down at the girl.
"Kristabelle, we will ask one more time. This isn't a joking matter. Where is he?" Gezo questioned yet the girl remained silent. The woman rushed for the girl, violet hair flying and bent dwn to grab her shoulders.
"Kristabelle, please, tell me. Where us Raphael?" Arella pleaded, begging violet yes meeting unsure gold ones. The little girl sighed and looked down at her feet, the puppy whining as if sensing her discomfort.
"Earth. He's on Earth."
