Bumblebee's speech
"Other languages"
Bialya, September 6
Miss Martian came out of camouflage mode, lying in the sand. Sitting up she held her throbbing head. "Ugh…What happened?" she groaned looking around to see nothing but desert around her. "Where am I? It's not Mars…" Grabbing the sand she noticed the differences. "Hello Megan! I'm on Earth!" Getting up she began to walk down the slope. "But how did I get here? Why am I wearing this costume? And why does my head hurt so much?" Slipping on the sand she slid down the slope. "Is this a dream?"
The sand exploded next to her, looking over she saw a boy with black hair, pale skin, and a wild look in his eyes. Looking at his shirt she recognized the shield on it.
"I know that symbol…are you Superman?"
The boy released a feral howl before ripping the fabric off and lunging at her. Flying out of the way she, looked to see him lunging again, this time she flew straight up in the air. He jumped after, jumping high enough to reach her. She created a telekinetic barrier, sending both of them flying in opposite directions from the force of his impact.
"Not a dream," M'gann said hugging herself as he leapt away, "a nightmare."
-.-
Robin stumbled through the desert, looking out he saw a cloud of dust approaching. Rushing up to the top off a rock formation, he pressed himself down, watching the truck full of soldiers pass.
"Those are Bialian Republican Army uniforms, but what are Bialians doing in…Bialyia," Robin said noticing his location on his holo-glove. "Rephrase: what are am I doing in Bialyia? In September! What happened to March?! Better radio Batman."
Batman and Optimus stood in front of a screen with the map of Bialyia on it. "Maintain radio silence at all times," Batman said."
"Or not…" Leaping down, he walked over to the torn black cloth with the Superman symbol on it and picked it up.
He failed to notice the flash of yellow and black that appeared for one second before vanishing.
-.-
"Hey, wake up."
Artemis opened her eyes in a dingy shed, looking up she saw a red-headed boy in a black version of the Kid Flash uniform leaning over her. With a slight cry, she scrambled back.
"Hey, it's ok. I'm not going to hurt you. I'm one of the good guys, you know: Kid Flash," he said.
"Seen Kid Flash on the news, he doesn't wear black," she replied.
"Not too clear on that myself. What about you? Green Arrow fixation?"
Looking down at her outfit she almost screamed. "Who put me in this?!"
"Wow, I am not touching that with a ten foot—so, you know how to use that bow?" he asked.
"Yea, my dad taught me. Dad! He must've done this, another of his stupid tests!" she growled.
"What kind of tests?"
"He probably wants me to kill you," she stated.
Kid Flash went pale, before yanking her out as they heard the incoming sound of a missile. The house behind them exploded, knocking them down. Looking behind them, past the wreckage, they saw three tanks and a few military trucks coming towards them.
"Don't let them escape!" one ordered before open firing.
Artemis rolled out of the way of a few shots, spun around and fired an arrow at the front of the truck. The arrow exploded on impact, sending it flying over both their heads. Kid looked to see that the girl was still firing at them, putting on his goggles he raced over and swept her off her feet as the tanks fired.
"Sorry, they got bigger arrows," he said as the explosions went off behind them, and he weaved his way through more landing next to him.
"Thanks."
"Hey, like I said: good guy," he smiled. "Now, not to pry, but what's your name? And what's this thing you said about killing me?"
-.-
"I can't believe I'm actually on Earth! I've wanted this for so long!" M'gann gushed. "Even if it's not exactly like TV…But why can't I remember how I got here?" Stopping she flew into a meditation position. "Concentrate…Remember…"
The boy lunged at her before the image changed. He was standing next to a machine of some sorts. "Be careful," he said.
The picture changed again and she was in a kitchen. "Careful Superboy, they're hot," she cautioned as the boy took a cookie from the tray she was holding. Another guy with red-hair and in a yellow and red suit rushed past snatching the cookie.
"Not as hot as you babe," he said taking a bite.
"Thanks Wally, that's sweet," she replied as Superboy took another cookie.
"Not as sweet as you sugar!"
"Grow up," two girls said smacking him. One was a blonde girl with bows on her back and the other was in a Green Lantern uniform floating over KF, taking a cookie. Behind them stood two more boys, one was small in a red shirt with a black cape, and the other was a little taller than Superboy with dual colored hair, and yellow and black armor.
/Team report to mission room/
"I'm on a team! I have friends!" she exclaimed. "And Superboy who might be…I need to find him! Them!" Getting out of the position she began flying again. "Hello? Uh, team?"
"M'gann! Thank God! I've been trying to reach you guys for hours! What happened?! Stay where you are! I'm heading over!"
She stopped and floated in place a moment later a green form flew over, and thankfully the name of this teammate came back to her. "Emerald!" she said hugging her.
"Good to see you two Miss M," she said. "What happened? I flew out of telepathic range for a few minutes, I come back and everyone's gone!"
"Sorry, I don't remember much," she shrugged.
Emerald nodded. "We can figure it out later, right now we need to find the others."
-.-
KF skid to a stop, and set Artemis down panting. "Sorry, running on empty, don't think I've eaten in a while," he said opening the emergency food container in his glove, only to find it empty. "Must've been out here over twenty-four hours. Or my stores wouldn't be bare."
Something landed between them, tossing them back. Looking through the dust, Kid was slammed back by a shirtless feral guy right into the cliffside.
Artemis backflipped away and fired an arrow at the charging boy. The explosive arrows she sent did nothing to slow him down, and she was forced to dodge again as he punched the ground where she stood.
A missile landed right at his feet, knocking them back.
-.-
Erica and Megan flew around, each grabbing their heads as they felt Superboy's pain over the link. "That way!" Emerald said pointing at the smoke.
-.-
Artemis got to her knees to watch feral boy leap out of the crater and towards the tanks. He landed on one, grabbed the gun and yanked the top off, hurling it away. The other tank fired, shooting him off the other one. Shanking his head, he leapt at the remaining tank.
"Who's side is he on?" Artemis asked.
"You wanna stay and find out?" KF asked.
"No!"
Grabbing her the pair raced away, as they went over one of the dunes, he tripped, sending them both tumbling down the sandy slope. Two drones swooped over their heads, before turning around and open firing. Kid Flashed pushed Artemis down to the ground as they passed again. Artemis sat up and notched an arrow.
"Don't worry we're almost there!"
Artemis balked, her arrow getting thrown off course. "Did you just hear a girl talking in your head?!"
"Girls are always on my mind," he snickered. "But they aren't normally talking."
Emerald and M'gann flew over the two planes. Making a baseball bat, Emerald swung down, crushing hers to the ground and M'gann used telekinesis to turn the other one into a crumpled ball of scrap metal.
They landed in front of the two who stared at them. Wally rushed up and hugged his cousin. "Emerald! Am I so glad to see you!" he said. "Artemis this is my cousin, Emerald Lantern. And J'ohn I'm not sure the new bod screams 'manhunter.'"
"Wally, this is M'gann, she's his niece," Emerald clarified.
"Your name's really Wally?" Artemis said and he groaned.
"We're teammates, friends. I made you cookies!" Megan said.
"You know her?" Artemis said. She could accept the cousin, but not the other chick.
"No beautiful! Never seen her before in my life!"
"I'm guessing you two lost your memories as well?" Erica asked.
"Yea."
"Well that explains that," she said. "C'mon I'll explain on the way since I seem to be the only one who managed to retain my memories. We still need to find the others."
-.-
Superboy pulled against the ropes holding his arms with eight men holding them on either side. Roaring, he yanked several of the men towards him.
"You must control his mind," one soldier said.
"Doesn't seem to be much mind left to control," the hooded man commented. "But, be still."
The clone stopped before collapsing to the ground, allowing the men to drag him into one of the trucks.
Behind some rocks nearby, Aqualad laid on the ground, unconscious.
Up on the ridge Bumblebee watched the scene through the scope of his sniper rifle. He aimed momentarily on the man who just held out a hand to make the wild man collapse, before slinging his gun over his shoulder. This wasn't his fight, he had to move and find a way back to Base.
-.-
Robin trekked through the desert heading for a signal on his holo-map. "Why did I put a GPS marker here?" he asked himself before stopping and seeing a device sitting randomly in the middle of the vast, sandy wasteland. "Guess that's why." Looking out he jumped over and was instantly surrounded as Bialian soldiers emerged from the sand.
"Her Majesty wants him alive!"
Rolling his eyes, he dropped a smoke bomb. The soldiers stumbled through it, getting taken out by the boy appearing and disappearing through the smoke. Once it cleared, he tossed a few bird-a-rangs at them, knocking the guns out of their hands. Rushing up he jumped on one of the unarmed man's shoulders, did and spinning handstand kick, knocking out the two others charging him.
"Enough! Open fire!" the leader said raising their weapons, they fired, but the bullets bounced off a green wall that rose in front of them.
"I'll take that! Thanks!" Kid Flash said running past snatching their guns.
Emerald flew above, making a rope to tie them all together. Two guys she missed charged up behind Robin but were tossed up into the air and hurled into a waiting green cage. Robin looked up and saw Miss Martian come out of camouflage mode.
One poor terrified soul tried to run by Artemis, who fired an arrow, which broke apart, releasing a rope that tied him up.
"KF! Emerald!" Robin said giving his best friend a high-five and hugging the Lantern. "It's good to see familiar faces."
"Memory loss?" they asked.
"Six months! Let's hog-tie these creeps and compare notes."
After a long explanation from M'gann and Emerald, the others took their time absorbing it. "So we're a team?"
"We just explained that," Erica sighed.
"Then this must be Superboy's," Robin said holding out the black cloth.
"Yea!" Miss M said taking it. "Did you see him?"
"I think we did," Artemis realized.
"Feral boy? Some teammate, he attacked us," Wally stated.
"He doesn't know who we are; I don't know who we are!" Artemis replied.
"So who do we work for? Because I remember Batman ordering radio silence, but Optimus Prime was there too," Robin said.
"How do we know we don't work for my mentor?" KF asked tapping his symbol only for his colors to change back to normal. "Whoa, this is so cool." He kept switching between them as the others without memories tried.
"Stop it!" Emerald said swatting his hand away. "Look we don't work for anyone, we're are our own team; but, Batman and Optimus send us out on missions."
"We need our memories back!" Artemis said.
M'gann's eyes glowed and she established a telepathic link.
The four looked around at all the memories and images flashing around them. "I've brought you into my mind to show what I remember so far. Our broken memories can create a whole, but I need you all to open your minds to mine," Megan said.
"Knock yourself out," Emerald grinned.
"You wanna hack our private thoughts?!" Artemis worried.
"I don't mean to intrude…"
"You need our memories to figure out what happened to us," Robin said. "Go for it."
"My mind is all yours, try not to lets its brilliance overwhelm you," Wally said.
"Or underwhelm you," Robin snickered. "Hey, why isn't anyone just whelmed?"
Wally walked over and took Artemis' hand. "Last six months only, and only what you need," she said.
She connected their minds and an image formed.
"The Watchtower detected an immense power surge in the Bialian Desert," Batman said.
"Spectral analysis revealed non-terrestrial origins from several lightyears away in a different system," Optimus stated. "Find out what happened. Bialya is a rouge state, ruled by Queen Bee, and they are not on the League's UN charter. All communications are subject to interception, so maintain radio silence at all times. You'll land in Quirac on the Bialian border, two clicks north of the hot zone."
The image changed and they were standing outside of the Bioship.
"I'm going to check the far perimeter, see if we got any patrols coming our way, I'll come back in range if I got anything," Emerald said flying off.
"All clear!" Robin said as Superboy carried the device off the ship.
"The Bialians control the site."
"Set up here."
"We'll be up and running in no time," Robin said as he, Superboy, KF, and Bumblebee looked over the readings.
"Jackpot! The site's lousy with Zeta Beam radiation!" Wally said.
"No…this is stronger than Zeta Tubes…but I can't remember off the top of my head where I've seen this before," 'Bee said. "There's non-terrestrial trace elements coming from the tent."
"I'll check it out in camouflage mode!" M'gann volunteered.
"Good idea, take Bumblebee with."
"Be careful," Superboy said.
"And maintain telepathic contact," Aqualad said.
"I will Aqualad."
"Aqualad and Bumblebee!" the others exclaimed.
"Where are they? What happened next?" Robin asked.
"Don't know, that's the last thing we all remember," M'gann said.
Artemis and Wally looked at each other before yanking their hands away from each other. "Kaldur's been wondering the desert for over twenty-four hours, well…that's not good for a guy with gills," KF stated.
"And what about 'Bee? He should've found us by now," Artemis noticed.
"Miss Martian, did you lose time in Martian or Earth time frames?" Emerald asked.
"Martian."
"Scrap! No wonder he hasn't found us," she cursed making them all jump back. Emerald hardly ever cursed, and if she did…well, it was never good. "If the same thing happened to him, he lost six Cybertronian months, meaning he has no clue where he's at."
"Good or bad?"
"Bad, very bad," Emerald said biting her lip. "They were still on Cybertron at that time, in the middle of an all out civil war. Now he's in an unknown location, which he will consider enemy territory. He will have no qualms about killing anyone that poses a threat, including us. On top of that is a Class A scout, that's the highest you can get! We won't find if he doesn't want to be found. Heck, I bet he's watching us right now…somewhere."
The others gulped at her explanation, they remembered seeing him fight Decepticons, and they didn't want to be on his bad side, which by the sounds of it, now they were. They all looked around, trying to spot the shadow possibly watching them.
"Anyways, we need to find Aqualad," Robin said locating him. "He's close…but not moving."
-.-
Inside a tent, scientists stood around electrocuting a giant sphere, and as it spun, that electricity hit Superboy, who cried out in pain. "Raise to shock level four."
They began to shock him again and the sphere began moving. "Fascinating," the hooded man smiled.
-.-
The group leaned over Aqualad, listening as he rambled on in Atlantian. "I can't restore his memories in this condition," Miss M said.
"He needs immediate rehydration!" Robin said. "Call the Bioship!"
"It's out of range, but you could get him there fast," she said looking at Wally.
"He's too heavy, and I'm too low on fuel," he puffed. "Right now, I couldn't even carry her."
"Why not just levitate him back?" Artemis suggested.
"I can't! I need to find Superboy!" she said. "Six months ago, he didn't exist! He has no memories! Just animal impulse. I'm the only one who can help him."
"Superboy's indestructible, just ask the tanks," KF pointed out. "Kaldur needs your help now."
M'gann grabbed her head as she felt the clone's pain. "No! Superboy's in pain! It can't wait!" she exclaimed flying off.
"WE STILL DON'T KNOW WHAT ERASED OUR MEMORIES! IT COULD HAPPEN AGAIN!" Robin shouted.
Emerald huffed and made a large construct. "Get on! We're going to the ship, treating Aqualad, getting you food so you don't starve, and then we need to find 'Bee," Emerald said as they got on. Once the unconscious Atlantian was secure she lifted up and flew off towards the ship.
-.-
M'gann entered the tent in camouflage mode, she saw the spinning sphere and Superboy strapped down getting electrocuted. With a growl she rushed over, knocked the scientists out of her way and turned the machine off.
"Well, someone is certainly a glutton for punishment," the hooded man said lowering his hood, revealing a pale man, with a translucent cranium, showing his brain. "Psimon says…Forget."
M'gann gasped and stared as her psyche slowly stared to disappear in a white light.
"Yes, forget, like before."
"Before?"
Flashback
She and Bumblebee snuck up to the camp. "Careful, camouflage mode isn't completely invisible,"he warned.
She nodded and tossed up her hood, going in through the front. Entering the tent, she saw Bumblebee sliding behind some of the equipment. "We're in," she said over the link.
"Good, but tread carefully—" Aqualad began.
"I know, 'Bee already warned me about my camouflage, and it's highly unlikely they'll catch him."
"Focus on the task at hand," 'Bee reminded as they began testing the sphere again. "Non-terrestrial item located."
"It's alive! In pain! Hello? Can you hear me?" she asked trying to contact it.
"I can," a new voice said. "And an open mind is a dangerous thing."
"Someone's hacked the link!"
"Psimon can't see you, Psimon can't catch you, but Psimon can make you all…FORGET!"
The team cried out as their heads exploded in pain, wandering off in random directions.
M'gann pulled herself out of them memory, noticing that everything was almost gone. "No! I won't let it happen again!" she exclaimed and the light retreated and Psimon appeared.
"Not really your call little girl," he sneered sending a brain blast that sent her flying back.
-.-
Emerald finished attaching an IV to Aqualad and getting food for her cousin, before looking at them. "So, here's the plan: I'll go out and search for 'Bee while you guys stay here, recover, keep an eye on Aqualad, and I'll contact you when I find him."
"What makes you think you're going to find him?" Robin asked. "A Class scouts can disappear in a blink."
"So can you," Wally said.
"It's different, I can still be tracked, they know how to cover their trail so well that not even Batman can track them down. Trust me, we tried."
"So why go alone, sounds like you'll need help," Artemis said putting her hands on her hips.
"He'll be more likely to come out if it's just one person, a whole group could scare him off," she stated. "Besides, someone needs to keep an eye on Aqualad."
As if to prove her point he started rambling again.
"How will you find him?" Wally asked.
"Simple, he finds me." Before they could protest she flew off.
"Hey, you never said why your Dad wanted to kill me," Wally said.
"Right, I got confused with a movie a was watching, where this ninja girl whose ninja dad orders her to kill her ninja boyfriend cause he's from a rival clan."
"So, I'm your ninja boyfriend huh?" he smiled.
"Hey, amnesia, remember? Completely forgot how truly annoying you are."
"Yea, like you're the goddess of congeniality!" he retorted.
"There's a private room in the back, you two want it?" Robin asked.
-.-
"You have potential, but you're two raw, too untrained," Psimon said stopping the beam for a moment. "And not at all in my league." He fired a strong blast that went through her shield.
"Mr. Psimon?" a scientist asked waving his hand in front of the psychic's face. "Are you alright?"
Objects began to lift up of their resting places around the room. Woken by the disturbance, Superboy noticed a small distortion in the air next to him. Switching to thermal vision he saw a floating girl and the other people. Going back to regular vision he saw that the other three were the ones that had been torturing him.
His heart rate began to speed up, and the sphere began spinning. It broke out of its containment chased the scientists off and slammed into the controls for Superboy's restraints. Upon being released he lunged at Psimon, but a mental barrier knocked him back, as he stood up he placed his hand on the girl's knee.
"You're here!" M'gann said as Superboy arrived.
"You sound so relieved," Psimon laughed. "Is that mindless creature supposed to save your mind?"
"No, I save his," she said putting their foreheads together.
Superboy saw images flash before him; him attacking Robin, Emerald, Kid Flash, Aqualad, and Bumblebee when he was first released. Their fight against Desmond to escape. The trip to save Fowler from the Cons. Driving with Bulkhead and KF. Fighting Mr. Twister. He and Miss Martian talking at Santa Prisca. Optimus promising to bring him back a snowball from his mission to the arctic, the scraplets. Wheeljack's imposter. Fighting Amazo. Joining the other proteges in their rebellion against their mentors. Training with Arcee and Black Canary. Meeting M'gann for the first time. The flash of some TV show he watched. Superman's rejections. Fighting the Fog. Batman and Optimus sending them on a mission to Bialya. And the pain that erupted in his head when Psimon attacked.
The final image that came was he and M'gaan in the kitchen. "I'm so sorry! It was too much at once! Hello Megan! That's so me…I…" she trailed off as she tried to clean all the gunk off of him.
Their foreheads sperated and he smiled as the memories faded. "Kick his butt." He took his hand off her knee, and left.
"By all means," Psimon sneered. "Kick my psychic butt."
Superboy looked to see several soldiers rushing in, only to be slammed away by the sphere that made a few warbles at him.
"Uh…thanks?"
It beeped again as more entered.
M'gann sent several disks flying at him, which he blocked with a shield. He fired a blast of his own, which she counted with a bubble shield. Dissolving it, she directed it around his attack. Psimon stopped absorbing the attack through a new shield. As he began dissolving his, he was punched in the face by the Martian girl. He grew bigger and fired again, but she duplicated and shot multiple beams at him. He spun around, knocking them back, making all but the real disappear. Seeing her she made a shield as he went on the offensive again.
Superboy and the sphere fought as the two telepaths floated in a psychic battle behind them. Hearing several cries, he turned around to see a few men floating in the air before I giant twister erupted around the dueling mental powers. He, the ball, and the rest of the soldiers were sucked into the vortex.
Getting to the inside, Superboy grabbed Miss Martian's hand.
"He's too strong," she said trying to keep the shield up.
"You're strong, and I'm stubborn, together!"
"Together," she agreed.
"GET. OUT. OF MY HEAD!" they exclaimed, melding minds and sending a psychic blast at him.
Psimon screamed, clutching his head before getting sucked up by the vortex. M'gann collapsed and as she did, so did the twister, dropping everything it picked up.
The couple smiled at each other when the sphere rolled up to them and beeped. "Can I keep it?" Superboy asked.
-.-
"Hey everyone, I've got Superboy! He's back to normal and we're on our way!"
"Who are you?! And how did you get inside my head?!" Aqualad exclaimed sitting up.
"Hello Megan! Aqualad's memories! I knew I was forgetting something."
"You're forgetting two somethings: we still haven't found Bumblebee," Emerald sighed.
"No luck?" Robin asked.
"Not yet, but I think I have an idea where to check next."
"Man! I forgot something too! I didn't get a souvenir from the mission!" Wally whined.
"Don't worry, we got it covered."
-.-
September 7
Bumblebee looked through his scope, fallowing the red-haired girl flying low in the canyon, peering in shadows and small caves. He'd been tracking her for the past hour, and he'd heard her mention his name a few times in her irritated grumblings.
Taking aim, he took a breath and pulled the trigger.
-.-
"Thank you M'gann," Aqualad said as she restored his memories.
"Don't mention it Kaldur," she smiled.
"This is one awesome souvenir babe," Wally congratulated staring at the sphere.
"May I ask: where are Emerald and Bumblebee?" Aqualad inquired realizing they weren't present.
"We haven't been able to find 'Bee yet," Robin said. "Emerald went out to search for him."
"GUYS! I FOUND HIM—ERR, WELL, HE FOUND ME! BUT HURRY!" Emerald shouted before the link went dead.
-.-
Erica held her leg trying to slow the blood flow as she leaned on the wall. The shot came out of nowhere, and it went clean through her leg. Whoever decided to shoot at her was good with their aim, because no major veins or arteries were severed, so that ruled out any Bialian. Their aim was about as good as a Stormtrooper's.
The sound of nearly-silent footfalls approached and her best friend's tell-tale blue eyes glowed in the darkness. She was relieved when he walked up, but then she saw the knife in his hand and the sniper rifle slung over his shoulder.
"You're going to tell me exactly what I want to know, or I'm going to kill you. Got it?" he said pressing the blade against her throat. She nodded getting her ring ready. "Who are you?"
"'Bee, it's me, Emerald Lantern, I'm your best friend!" she said hoping it would ring some bell.
He narrowed his eyes at that, he didn't really have friends. To other Autobots he was the Prime's kid, the sole survivor of the Tyger Pax Massacure. Heck, he had caretakers, but they weren't there often, and he was younger than them, too young to get involved in what they did. "Who sent you? Megatron? Starscream?"
"Neither! Optimus did!"
Bumblebee narrowed his eyes, adjusting the blade he placed more pressure on it. "Likely story Con."
"NO!" Superboy leapt out of the bioship towards his teammate who was about to kill Emerald. He slammed him out of the way, but the scout just flipped in the air, slid his hands along the ground and caught himself in a crouch.
'Bee put his weapons back in his subspace, no sniper gun would be of use in direct combat and the knife would just get in the way. Seems he took too long to deal with her since she called back up. Robin leapt down, but his foot was caught and he was tossed right into Artemis' arrow, which released a net, tying him up. KF rushed up and reluctantly punched him in the face, which only seemed to tick him off rather than do any damage. Bumblebee reached behind him and pulled out a grenade launcher. He fired right for the middle of the group, Superboy jumped and took the hit, it sent him flying back slamming into the ground.
"I can't get in his head! His barriers are too thick!" M'gann warned.
"It's no surprise, he was trained to withstand a mental attack by Soundwave!" Emerald said as she flew up as a Blue Lantern. "I can stop him, but I need you to keep him distracted."
"Leave that to me," Superboy said getting out of the crater. He could take a hit better than the others, and he knew from training that 'Bee packed a punch. The only thing he wondered was just how much he was holding back in training?
Bumblebee leapt over the clone, landing on the ground, the swept his feet out from under him, before grabbing him by his arm and hurling him into the speedster. His arm cannon came out and he was about to fire when he was lifted up into the air and a blue chain bound his limbs to his side.
Emerald flew over from behind, ignoring the various curses he was flinging at them. Making sure the chains were holding, she made another construct that pried some of the armor away from the point she need to hit. His struggling made the task exceptionally difficult, but she managed to pry it away, and pinched the nerve point.
Both fell to the ground, one making sure to keep pressure off her injured leg, the other completely unconscious. "He'll be out for a few hours now. That should be enough time," she said wincing as Robin picked her up.
"Thanks," M'gann said entering his mind, which was easier now that his walls were down.
-.-
"The Martian girl managed to escape with both the sphere and the Superboy," Psimon informed the leaders.
"That hardly matters, what matters is the successful test of our partner's new delivery system." A video came up a what looked like a Zeta tube opening in the middle of nowhere.
"Boom Tubes, not as efficient as a Spacebridge, but still useful none the less. Our new friend, does not seem eager to disappoint."
"More tech will come. Tech that will put the sphere and possibly even the Superboy to shame."
