Outside Cadmus Labs: Present
The team and Nightwing were assembled outside of the remains of the Cadmus building, each one having mixed emotions about being there.
Nightwing pulled up a holographic map from his glove and began to walk towards the center of the rubble.
"Looks so much like Rob when he does that" Kid Flash said sadly.
"That's because he is Robin, Baywatch" Artemis retorted, although with less malice than usual. They were all missing their little bird even though only a few showed it.
Nightwing soon stopped next to a large slab of stone that looked about the size of the bioship "it's just under here" he said, looking over at his teammates.
Superboy nodded and walked over, lifting the slab with ease revealing a large hole just beneath it, it was so deep that no one could see the bottom.
"Now what?" Asked Zatanna, peering into the deep abyss.
"Now, we jump" said Nightwing, taking her hand and jumping into the great unknown.
Cadmus Labs: Future
Once the elevator reached the bottom of the shaft, the doors opened to reveal walls armed to the teeth with technology. Half of it Robin was able to recognize as earth tech, the rest looked like something from an alien spaceship in a sci-fi movie.
"Wow…" he breathed, he had never seen such technology before in his entire life.
"Alright reel yourself in Rob, this is no time to go all computer geek on me" Flash said jokingly as he walked out of the elevator.
Robin simply chuckled and followed the hero, keeping his senses on edge in case of danger.
After about a minute of walking, Robin could hear footsteps up ahead.
"Sounds like were getting close" he whispered, Flash nodded and motioned for him to get ready to fight.
Robin nodded and pulled out a few Bird-a-Rang's, ready to throw them. Little did they know, their enemies were not who they expected.
The footsteps grew louder until they were just around the corner, Robin jumped from his hiding place with weapons ready to strike, but what he saw made him freeze and drop his weapons in shock.
With the team
Once the team had landed at the bottom of the shaft unharmed (thanks to Miss Martian and Zatanna) they began to walk towards the core of the base. Wally stared in awe at the technology in the walls, resisting the urge to find out what it all did.
"This doesn't look right…." Nightwing said uneasily "there shouldn't be this much tech here already, Braniac doesn't acquire this for another four years" the team looked at each other worriedly, had Brainiac already succeeded in making a permanent home here?
"But if he did not achieve this technology until your time, how is it here?" Asked Aqualad calmly.
"I don't know…" Nightwing replied, obviously lost in thought. The team was so wrapped p in their inquiries that they didn't notice a pair of footsteps heading their way until it was too late, but the sight of their attacker was enough to make them stare in shock.
