Kitty, Kurt and Aster(OC) find themselves in Cadmus, with fuzzy memories. Not remembering how they got there. Not realizing there in a different dimension.
And under the control of inhibitor collars. What happens when the YJ team bust them out. Will they ever get home?

I do own my OC Aster.
Release
Previously:
For all that Dick is worried about Wally, he feels bad for these three teens.
''What do you remember?'' he calls softly
''Anything could help.'' prompts Tim in an equally soft voice.
Siren raises her hands and signs
Elf* can you interpret for me?
Nightcrawler nods.
Siren takes a deep breath and gets up.
Nightcrawler stands as well, in front of her and off to the side, so everyone can still see her.
Shadowcat gives her an encouraging smile.
Siren begins to sign.
Nightwing/Dick Grayson
As she signs Dick can hear Nightcrawler german accent translating for her, for just a kid he's a really good interpreter.
Despite that Dick chooses to ignore the sound of his voice, and focus on Siren's signing.
There was a lot going on back home. A mutant(hear Dick listens for Kurts translation not knowing the sign) which is what we are. This mutant was from the past, I don't know much about here. But in my world, there are pyramids that some people believed were made by aliens. Not true. They were ordered to be made by a man from the far off future who was Pharaoh at the time Rama-Tut.(Batman had to glare at several people who were about to open their mouths to ask questions) This man for all his advance technology feared apocalypse and his strength. So he killed off all of apocalypse's tribe. Apocalypse killed off all of his enemies including Rama-Tut and became the next Pharaoh. There was a device called the Eyes of Ages(Batman glaring again) which Apocalypse wanted to use to turn all of humanity into mutants. But many would die. He learned to use the device by powering it with his own body. When he started using it, it started sucking the life out of him. And his servants trapped him in the Eyes of Ages. The servants sealed the device in the mountains, behind three doors. That would take the power of a mutant to be unlock. Apocalypse was recently released and had caused lots of damage. A stupid mutant called Mesmero was behind his release. Using mind-control to get other mutants to do his bidding.(more glaring, seriously we need all the info then we can ask questions) From what I can remember before we left, our Professor Xavier and teacher, otherwise known as Storm. Left to go speak with Apocalypse to try and handle things peacefully. Didn't happen. We originally thought they were killed. But after Colonel Fury of SHIELD Sentinels(Dick filed that away to ask about later) began attacking the devices linked up to the Eyes of Ages. Apocalypse retaliated by calling forth his horseman. Magneto, Mystique, the Professor and Storm. He greatly enhanced their abilities and even though the Sentinels were made to destroy mutant life.(Que faces of intrigue on everyone) The horseman quickly destroyed them, so we joined up with SHIELD to defeat them. But these were all adult mutants who had their power enhanced and had them a lot longer than us. I was in a team with Nightcrawler, Cat, and a few others against Magneto. After a while I got knocked out, and then remember being hugged tight between Cat and Elf and then nothing...So you have to send us back, we need to go back. (Siren hands signed this part with hard strong movements emphasizing her words, her face strong and hard but her eyes pleading)
Nightcrawler stopped translating and turned towards Siren and Shadowcat.
''This my fault.''
''What are you talking about?'' asked Shadowcat
''I remember, Magneto had just come back, and even though the rest of the brotherhood joined us we were still outmatched. He was approaching us and I ported instinctively I was holding Aster at the time since she was barely consciences and I must've accidentally ported the both of you with me. This is all my fault.''
The league was walking towards them to ask questions, but Dick and Kaldur turned around when, they heard Bart calling to Siren asking if she was ok.
A lace of panic in his voice.
Siren was breathing hard, her face pale, skin sweaty, eyes pinched close, hands over her ears,
She looked sick.
Nightcrawler/Kurt
Despite not always having enough fingers to actually sign certain signs. Kurt was the best at translating for Aster. Or maybe it was because he couldn't sign. So it shouldn't have come as a surprise when she chose him to translate.
As she signed telling these ''people'' about what had happened Kurt began to remember.
He remembered watching the Professor and Storm die.
He remembered thinking his mother and Magneto dead.
He remembered finding out they were simply Apocalypses puppets.
He remembered trying to fight off Magneto.
And failing.
He remembered seeing Magneto come at them again and holding tight to Aster, Kitty holding on to his shoulder then porting.
He didn't mean to, didn't think about it, but he did it.
It was his fault.
That was what he told Kitty, because it was, and now they were stranded here.
Then he heard Kid Flash asking, someone in an almost panicky voice if they were ok.
Aster.
She was kneeling on the floor, sweaty, pale, shaky and looked sick.
Not good.
He then voiced his opinion out loud.
''Not good.''
Nightwing(?) turned to him asking what was wrong with her?
He knew what was wrong with her, but didn't know how to explain it.
She was overloaded with her emotions and probably everyone elses, getting to the point where she couldn't think, couldn't focus.
Thankfully Kitty saved him from having to explain.
''She's an empath, the professor always said she experienced emotions in a way that was far stronger than any of us. Including her own. The last time she meditated must've been at least a month and I don't know about you, but this has been an emotional day for us. She's been feeling that all day. She can't hold it in anymore.''
''Hold what in?'' asked Aqualad(?)
''Her scream, the professor says, her voice is her release. When she's overloaded like that and hasn't meditated to try to gain control, her body well...makes her scream and she's fighting it. Because when she does, it hurts everyone around her, I've never experienced it. But Jean and Scott did along with the professor and Logan and I know enough to know it's not pretty.''
''What can we do? How long can she keep this up?'' asks Batman
''Not long enough.'' Kurt answers his second question
''We need to get her somewhere isolated where she can either calm down or scream.''
Kitty answering his first.
Superman(?) moves to pick up Aster and says ''Easy enough.''
Aster gets worse.
''Put her down!'' Kurt and Kitty shout together, then wince realizing that shouting wasn't helpful.
''Unless you can be completely emotionless, don't touch her. Any emotion to her is bad emotion right now.''
It's silent for a while.
Then Batman speaks into what Kurt assumes is a com of some kind.
''Batman to Red Tornado, report to Watchtower immediately.''
''Who's Red Tornado?'' Kitty ask suspiciously
''An android.'' answers Aqualad.
Que Kitty and Kurt's raised eyebrows and simutaneously shaking their heads.
''An android?'' asks Kitty in a voice that clearly says should I even ask.
''An android.'' affirms Aqualad
It's about 5-10 minutes later, which feels way longer, when Red Tornado arrives.
Kurt's not really sure what is said, but Red Tornado takes Aster and she doesn't protest.
Screens, holographic screens come up and they can see Aster being put into a small room.
A bedroom from the looks of it.
Aster is placed on the bed.
She unfurls from herself and Kurt can see she's fighting it, but they all know it's inevitable and Kurt is bracing himself.
And then she screams, and Kurt's shoulders relax when he realizes there's no sound.
He watches as she breathes heavily afterwards and lays down slowly on the bed.
She gestures to the camera's in ASL that she's going to sleep.
Now everyone is looking at Kitty and Kurt for answers and Kurt kind of wishes he could take a nap too.
Authors note: Sorry for the wait! I got back from a trip, my family bought a new fridge and stove, and I had to clean out my closets. And I had to watch some of the episodes from x-men evolution again. I did have to change it from instead of being with Logan and Scott. Nightcrawler was with Kitty. I hope that Siren's overload wasn't too dramatic or anything. But I did hint at it, and I tried to make it not it a Siren centric chapter by putting it in other POVs. REVIEW! I want to hear your thoughts :)
