A/N: Here's the new revised version of chapter 6! Hope you enjoy! ^_^
I know the Lord is testing me. Some test though, I mean, seriously? My cousins and I are stuck in a universe where our favorite superheroes share the same air as us, and here's the frosting on the hate cake: we have tried to go across the country to go find out exactly what happened until we found out that we are stuck on the same train as three b rated criminals and have no way of getting of before they commit a crime. Not only that, but now we have to also to deal with the fact that there are watches stuck onto our wrists that either caused this mess, or it might kill us. After finally locating Melissa, leading her back to our room, and telling her what happened, I opened the door for her and walked in with her as I closed the door behind me. We walked in to then see that our bags were packed and Sophia was currently trying to get her bracelet off."Hey, Emily, you found Melissa, good job. Now, would you mind helping me get this thing off? I think its what caused this mess in the first place."
Melissa and I gave each other a look and went to help right away. I went over to Sophia's left side while Melissa went to her right and we both began to yank on her watch. This thing was stuck. We kept pulling until suddenly, the watch reacted to our actions by glowing up and sending us a shock of pain throughout our bodies. We screamed loudly and quickly let go of her wrist while falling on the floor simultaneously. After the pain went away, I sat up to find Sophia staring at us with a shocked look on her face, and Melissa still laying on the floor. I ran over to her side and after making sure she had a pulse, I began to shake her awake.
5 minutes of silence finally passed until Melissa woke up. Sophia went over to the other side of Melissa and helped her sit up. "Ummm, what happened?" She asked."Well, Sophie's watch just shocked us, so at least now we know that our bracelets probably had something to do with our problems." I said." Okay Nightwoman, then what do you suppose we do now?" Melissa snarked. Well that was odd. Usually being snarky was my thing. I gave Melissa the stink eye before I said " Well, we are pretty much stuck here until noon tomorrow, so until then the only thing we can do is leave a anonymous tip that Icicle jr. and the Terror twins are attacking this train for unknown reasons, and hope that they stop the train to look for them. Afterwards we will try to find a way to sneak off during the chaos and find another way to Washington." I finished.
I looked around to see if there were any arguments or looks of confusion, but there were none. "Alright. We'll do that now, start preparing." Sophia helped Melissa stand up from the floor, grabbing her small shoulder strap bag and Melissa's small little book bag. Grabbing my rope bag, I slung it over my shoulder and slowly opened the door, peeking through the crack.. Finding nothing, I gestured for the others to follow me and we slowly made around the train. 2 minutes passed and we finally found the conductor's room. Sophia walked up to the door and quietly slipped our note under the door. She turned around and smiled at Melissa and me." Mission accomplished." Melissa said, feeling proud that we had stopped a crime. And boy did she speak too soon.
Hearing footsteps coming our way, I quickly looked around and seeing a air vent nearby, gesturing for the girls to follow. Grabbing a screwdriver from my bag, I unscrewed the bolts and helped Sophia and Melissa get in before climbing in myself. Once in I pulled the vent in so no one would notice teenage girls in the ventilation system. We looked down trying to see who it was. " Are you sure about this Nightwing? It could have been just a stupid prank." I froze as I heard a vary familiar voice reply " It could be a prank, or it could be something else. Its best to make sure that nothings going to happen instead of innocent people getting hurt, and besides after leaving this team for a little while, I'm a little peckish for action." Nightwing. As in the original robin Nightwing.
I looked over and saw Sophia freaking out. Melissa was a bit calmer, until we heard another familiar voice say " Fine with me. Question is: why would those idiots be doing on a train anyway?" Superboy. Yep, there went a at least slightly calm Melissa." Bats said it was because of some girls the light wanted, so lets mode some villains!" Alright, now I'm freaking out for two reasons
1. I had just heard impulse, one my favorite cartoon characters ever talk and 2. I had a bad feeling in my gut that said it knew who those girls are." Impulse do you remember anything else Batman said about the girls?" Superboy asked as Nightwing's looked around the room suspiciously. Oh shit, I hope he doesn't sense us..
" Well", Impluse continued, "Bats said one was a blonde with dark blue eyes," Melissa and I looked at Sophia, "A brunet with light grey eyes," Sophia and I looked at Melissa, " and they a girl with black hair, brown eyes, and glasses." Sophia and Melissa looked at me as a face of fear graced my face. "Oh yeah, he also said something about each having weird bracelets on." We looked at each other in horror. Yup, they were talking about us. We freaked out a bit more, but we continued to listen. What do you mean, by weird?" Superboy asked."Well, that's the problem. We don't know what the bracelets look like, but we know how the girls look like." Answered Nightwing's.
"How come we were able to find out how the girls looked like again?"Impulse asked. "Around the area of Florida, there were signals of heavy magic and alien technology. Dr. Fate and GL were able to somehow detect it, since it was so strong. Sadly though, that day a tropical storm came by and we were only able to get a picture of the girls. We tried to zoom in, but the winds were too strong and eventually the camera was blown away." Sophia, Melissa, and I looked at each other in disgust. They were watching us?! Ew…
There was silence for a little while longer until Superboy asked.
"Then why are we on this stupid train?!" "The magical/alien waves never stopped, and with this tech I got from Martian Manhunter and Zatanna, we made this tracker able to locate them. The signals were coming strongly from this train, so that why we came here."Nightwing's answered him. They looked at each weirdly. Shoot, they must be talking telepathically now. They continued sending weird signals until Nightwing finally pointed up at the roof, more specifically the air vent. Oh shit…
Faster than any of us could blink, we were staring into a pair of goggle covered eyes. Out of shock we began to scream. "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh hhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" Which made Impulse start to scream "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh hhhhhhhhhhhhh!"
Suddenly, Nightwing's gloved hand reached up and grabbed Impulse, who we were trying to push out of the vent in the first place. He grabbed onto me while Melissa was still holding onto me and Sophia was holding onto her. In the end, a chain reaction happened and we all tumbled out of the vent. I landed directly on top of Impulse, Melissa accidentally knocked over Superboy, and Sophia, being the last one, was caught in Nightwing's arms. "Found you." Nightwing smirked as Sophia blushed. She struggled to get out of his arms, but no prevail. "Put me down! I'm not a criminal!" I laughed at the scene, until I realized I was still ontop of Impluse. I blushed and quickly got off of him and helped him up. "Sorry about that.." I looked down in shame. "It's cool, you don't weigh much anyways." I smiled up at him and we both laughed.
Melissa finally stood up and Superboy sat up and started to eye her suspiciously, as if she was going to knock him down again. Nightwing holding Sophia, kept teasing her, her pouting in response. After a few more seconds, he finally placed her down, her face red as a tomato. Seeing her reaction Impulse and I laughed again until we were interrupted by unpleasant voices. "Awww. Well, ain't this sweet." We turned around and saw the one thing I never wanted to see today. Standing in front of us were Icicle jr. and the Terror twins, smiling evilly down at us.
