Red Tornado landed outside of the Justice Cave and took a deep sigh. He hoped the teenagers hadn't gotten into anymore trouble while he was away. Although, John was sure that if they had gotten into any serious difficulty, Robin would be able to handle it. As he walked in he had a feeling that he was definitely incorrect.
"What are we going to do? Tie him up or something?" A frustrated voice said from inside the cave. This did not look good to Red as he approached the voices. As he got closer the voices got louder.
"Maybe we should lock him in the MedLab. He wouldn't be able to get out then."
"Um..Bart? We just spent about 15 minutes getting him out of the MedLab." Red could hear Arrowette's voice echoing through the halls and started to quicken his steps. John entered the meeting chamber to see a horrific sight:
Robin was lying unconscious on the Justice League table surrounded by Arrowette, Impulse, Secret, and a girl he had not seen before. This stunned Red Tornado for a mere moment when he decided to speak up.
"Excuse me, would one of you mind explaining to me exactly what has happened here?" He asked a little perturbed. The three girls and Impulse turned around quickly in surprise at The Red Tornado's sudden appearance.
"I can explain…" Arrowette began the long story on the events that had recently happened.
"No! I want to explain!" Impulse snapped rudely at Arrowette. She was shocked to see him be so discourteous. But, she decided to let him tell it anyway.
"Geez, fine Imp. Go ahead."
"Well…" Bart began and started explaining the story at a super-fast pace.
"Have you gotten him yet?!" Lutwidge screamed into the walkie-talkie anticipating the reply. He knew that the answer was crucial to the mission. If they had him…they might get a chance to get back subject 2TDNII along with subject 6AHSDD. That is…if the mission succeeded. The walkie-talkie fizzed at Lutwidge defiantly before a voice spoke back.
"Affirmative, sir. We've captured the subject along the side of Route 68. It appears it has fainted out of complete exhaustion. He is currently in our custody, Sir. Over." The voice crackled through the walkie-talkie before clicking off.
"Perfect." Lutwidge grinned widely and awaited the return of the D.E.O's agents.
"So, according to what Arrowette has explained, Robin has suddenly gone insane?" Red Tornado repeated. After Impulse had told the story too fast to compute, Arrowette retold it at a slower pace explaining each detail. This angered Bart, so he had yelled at her. Now, Arrowette had grown suspicious of the speedster. "To add to this complete unexpected event, Superboy is currently unconscious because of Robin. Is that correct?" The three girls nodded while Imp growled to himself murmuring future swear words under his breath.
"Yes," Secret piped up, "It seems he went ultimately crazy with anger." Marina nodded in agreement.
"We were very lucky to catch him in the first place! If it hadn't been for Impulse we probably would never have-" Before Marina had a chance Impulse leapt to his feet and pointed an accusing finger at the four others surrounding the table with the inanimate Robin atop it.
"That's right! If it hadn't been for me, the rest of you would be still chasing after him!" He angrily glared at the others who were staring back in surprise. "I'm the whole reason this team works!" Imp exclaimed. "I'm…I'm…" In the middle of the sentence without warning, he fell backwards and yelped in pain grabbing his head. "AHHHHHHHH!!" He screamed rolling on the ground in utter agony.
"Good Lord!" Arrowette covered her mouth and ran over to the other side of the table to see Impulse had burst out into tears screaming whilst grabbing the back of his head. "BART! BART! Good God! Someone get him to-" She began but, just as soon as the frightening outburst began, it had stopped leaving Impulse on the floor looking like he'd been hit by a truck. As Cissie approached cautiously, Impulse suddenly awoke; his eyes popped open with an inhuman look in them.
"Is he alright?" Suzie asked slowly looking over the tabletop to see Impulse zwip away quickly and start wildly destroying the main area of the Justice Cave.
"This is Déjà vu." Cissie sighed watching Impulse annihilate the items in the meeting chamber.
"Perhaps we should but a stop to this." John stated standing up. "I suggest we-" He began when he was suddenly interrupted when Impulse vibrated through Red Tornado grabbing a bunch of wires and ripping them brutally out of the android causing him to short circuit. Sparks flew out from Red Tornado, as he soon was as inactive as Robin.
"I believe this may cause a bit of a problem." Suzie said watching Impulse break a monitor.
"Yep, this is gonna be a very long night." Cissie prepared an arrow and sighed.
