Chapter 10: Back to the Past / Saving a hybread

M'gann levertated, cross legged, trying to telepathically reach M'att. J'onn was now connected with her, doubling their efferts. Mary walked in and put the time-worp communicator back on her belt.

"I've just gotten word from Nightwing," everyone looked up at her "He says that M'att has most likely been kidnapped by Klarion the Witch Boy. He says to defeat him we need to 'attack the cat' what ever that means," Mary said, falling back onto a sofa next to Will.

"Klarion's familiar is a cat called Teekle. It's the only thing keeping him anchored to this reality. Attack it and his grip weakens," said Dick.

"But why would Klarion kidnap M'att?" Will asked.

"I remember reading something about Klarion," started Batboy "It was something about him having the personality of a bratty 5-year-old,"

"That's Klarion... so where is M'att?" Wally asked.

"Don't know. Dad said there wasn't anything on that but he's still hacking," Mary said.

It was quiet for a second until M'gann and J'onn suddenly screamed in pain. They unintentionally connected their minds to everyone elses. They all gripped their heads in agonizing pain. Then they heard a voice in their heads... M'att's voice in their heads!

"HELP! IT'S KLARION! HIM AND THE LIGHT WANT TO EXPERAMENT ON ME BECAUSE OF MY HUMAN-MARTIAN PHYSIOLOGY! I THINK I'M SOMEWHERE IN ASIA... AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!" M'att suddenly screamed "HURRY!"

Everyone looked at each other. M'att's thoughts leaving their heads.

"We BETTER hurry!" Will said "M'att's my best friend,"

They sat in the over crowded Bio-ship. Robin/Dick was the one flying because Miss Martian was focasing on homing in on M'att's location. When they started flying over jungles the past Team recognized it. It was where the Brain had made his animal-army. Wolf wimpered a bit. Looking down at what was once home. Conner scratched Wolf between the ears. Cameron smiled fondly at Wolf, recalling childhood memories with the Kent family 'dog'. Miranda tapped her foot against the floor impatiantly. She had red high heeled boots, red mini skirt, black leggings and a black t-shirt with the red S on it. Cameron got annoyed at his sister's tapping and put his hand on her knee to keep her leg still. He was just in plain jeans with a navy blue t-shirt with the red S and a dark green army jacket. Aqualas smiled at them both. Batboy sat back, bord. Sword-Swipe pulled a bit at her costume. It was a grey version of Cheshire's costume, only with a Domino mask instead.

"Right there!" M'gann suddenly cried.

"That's where the Brain tried to disect Captain Marvel's brain," said Kid Flash.

"Robin?" said Aqualad.

"Landing," said Robin, taking the Bio-ship down to a clearing.

The Teams looked at the lab, hiding behind bushes. There were 3 guys heavily armed. They were speaking what was recognized as Bialyan. Miss Martian set up a telepathic link.

"M'att is currently oncontious. We need to get past those guards without alerting anyone," said Miss Martian.

"There are 3 guards... we have 3 Bats. Hey Mary, wanna have some 'quoloty' time with you future father and current team mate?" Wally said.

The 2 Robins looked at each other. Dick was leaning against a tree, standing above the crouching Mary. The Robins looked at Batboy.

"Let's disappear..." Mary said, happily smirking.

The rest of the Teams looked around themselves and realized the Bats were already gone.

"I hate the ninja-thing," said Kid Flash and Speed Arrow in unison.

Everyone looked at the conversing guards (conversing is a fancy word for chatting) who where still talking in Bialyan. A smoke bomb suddenly went off and the guards coughed violently. The sounds of round-house kicks and ninja weapons were almost silent. The smoke cleared, Dick had an escrima stick in both hands. Batboy had nunchucks. In both of Mary's hands there were metal sticks. They looked similar to Dick's escrima sticks but Mary's had a handle so the part she hit people with was pressed against her lower arms.

"What are those called?" Kid Flash asked as him and the rest of the Teams emerged from their hidding place.

"They're called tonfa. They're alot like escrima sticks only with handles," said Mary, hiding them back in her belt. (You can look up tonfa on Wikipedia.)

"Cool! Now let's save Boy Martian," said Kid Flash.

Speed Arrow and Artemis shot arrows that disabled the force-dome over the lab. The Bats shot their grappling guns and pulled themselves in before it could close up. exactly 45 seconds later the alarm that would have gone off to say the dome was down was disabled and in another 30 the dome was down all together. The Bats swung back down to the ground.

"Both superboys, Aqualas, Sword-Swipe, Rocket and Batboy stay out here in case. Artemis take a sniper position on top of the lab. The rest of you with me. Miss Martian lead the way," said Aqualad before they split up.

The Team in the lab ran down the hallways. Following the levertating Martian. She started to screw up her face in consantration. She pointed at a metal door. With a roar, Supergirl barged right into it, pushing it off its hinges. Her faceial expresion of anger changed to one of pleasure. She flipped a lock of her ebony hair being her shoulder, smiling sweetly.

"Nice one, SG," said Robin.

"Look!" said Mary, pointing to a pod.

In a desturbing twist the pod looked like a Cadmus pod, only this one was lieing down, not upright. Inside was M'att Th'hoo. He had burns and scars all over his body and the corner of his cape was slightly burnt away. Supergirl stretched over the pod and began pulled the lid but it was stuck fast.

"It won't budge!" she conplained.

Miss Martian started using telekinesis to help open the lid. But the lid stayed put.

"Supergirl. If you don't move that lid a whole lot of Kryptonite will be thrown your way," threatened Mary.

Supergirl squeaked and started pulling at the lid with even more strength. It started shifting until it was pulled right off. M'att suddenly breathed in as if he had just been revived from drowning.

"M'att Th'hoo!" said Miss Martian, putting an arm around him and helping him to his feet.

"Guys! The dome's about to reactivate! I'm trying to keep it down. Hurry! The alarms have gone off!" Batboy shouted into their heads.

"Ou..." Boy Martian wheezed, holding his head.

The outside Team fought against unexpected arrivals. Conner punched Blockbuster's head so he was looking down. Then Cameron punched him so he was facing the sky. Blockbuster fell back. Conner looked at his future son and smiled. Cameron was 15 and he was physically 16 but Cameron was a little less built up and shorter, about the hight of Boy Martian who was a head taller than Mary, who was (like her father) short for her age. Artemis shot arrows. Protecting Batboy as he tried to fight the computer systems and get the force-dome turned off. Aqualas electro-shocked attacker after attacker, not having any water for her wrist water-bearers. Rocket hovered above her, encasing then throwing attackers. Sword-Swipe moved gracfully. She only used the flat side of her swords to knock her apponants out. The inside Team came running out and joined the outside Team in the battle. The 2 Robins were the last ones out and had to forward flip to narrowly get out of range of the force-dome as it reactivated.

"GET THEM!" Klarion shouted "I didn't even get to see how the hybread would react to...

"Will you just SHUT-UP!" M'att shouted and Klarion was sent flying away, being herlded by an invisible force.

M'att held his left shoulder with his right hand. He let go of M'gann and stood shakily.

"Dude, are you ok?" Will asked, zipping to him.

"I'm fine Speedy," said M'att "Just hurt... alot..." and he collapsed, M'gann caught him by putting her hands under his arms.

"Did he just call you Speedy, Speed Arrow?" Kid Flash asked, zipping up to the little reunion.

"Yeah, it's short for Speed Arrow. That and it's sort of an inside joke," said Speed Arrow.

"How inside?" Kid Flash asked, a smirk on his face -thinking of something dirty.

"Grow-up K.F," said Robin, appearing out of no where.

"Don't do the ninja-thing to me!" Kid Flash complained.

"What ninja-thing?" asked Mary, smirking, appearing beside him.

"Dude! No more ninja-ing," Kid Flash complained.

"Ninja-ing isn't a word," said Batboy, appearing behind him.

"I've had enough with you Bats and your ninja-ing!" and Kid Flash zipped to the Bio-ship.

Both, Dick's and Mary's, joint cackle could be heard.

It was a long Bio-ship ride back to the Cave. They rang ahead and told them to prep the medbay. Mary called Nightwing and gave the future League the good news. M'att sat on a med table. Dick, his mask off, wrapped a bandage around M'att's bleeding head.

"I hate fire..." M'att mumbled.

"Everyone here does. With the exeption of the Supers up front," said Dick "Unfair, the fact they have envulnerablitity,"

"True that," said M'att, smiling with emusmeant.

"That's all we can do until we get you to the medbay at the Cave," said Dick, sitting on the stool next to the table.

Mary smiled, leaning her back against the wall of the Bio-ship, spying on her young father and her team mate.

"Good to have you back M'att Th'hoo," she said.

They looked at her with shock. They had only just realized she was there.

"Your more of a ninja than me!" said Dick, pointing to himself with his thumb and smiling.

"You're the one who invented the ninja-thing, dude, you're the original, man!" said Mary, sitting on a stool.

There was silence for a while until Dick decided to be the teenaged boy that he was.

"Do you really have a crush on Speed Arrow?" he asked, smirking happily.

"NO!"

Please review! BTW, when I say one of the Grayson smirks it's a friendly smirk despite the fact that smirk means unfriendly smile. I want to write at least one more chapter before the future Team goes home. Give me an idea on what should happen! Also... I COMAND YOU TO REVIEW, ha ha XD
