Chapter 4: Sleeping Beauty Awakens
Fifteen minutes before Tony's call…
Persiana moaned as she started to wake up. Her eyes opened narrowly at first, to block out the intense light that was shining down on her. She covered her head and groaned; she had been in a coma for a month, and was stiff. The lioness hated being stiff; cats were meant to be flexible and agile. Slowly, she arched her spine up, growling at the stretch. It was not long before Farrah opened her eyes and asked,
"Where am I?"
A familiar voice said,
"You're awake."
She looked up and saw Superman. Instantly, she cheered,
"Connor!"
She jumped into his arms and sighed happily,
"It's really you! I thought I'd never wake up."
Superman shook his head,
"I believed in you. You're too stubborn to die."
At this, the feline growled threateningly before she started laughing.
She looked around the room, hoping to see some of the others. However, she got the surprise, and shock of her life.
In another room…
Ravager, Flash, Red Arrow, and Human Torch were all watching the fight when Wonder Woman and Alicia entered. Donna asked,
"Has Reed made any progress?"
A loud and familiar roar was heard,
"REED RICHARDS, YOU SON OF A BITCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU'RE GOING TO DIE AFTER WHAT YOU DID TO MY BOYFRIEND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'LL PERSONALLY SEE TO IT YOU STRETCH IN WAYS EVEN YOU DIDN'T KNOW WERE POSSIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Bart quipped,
"I think she's awake; and taking in her new surroundings nicely."
Alicia asked,
"Aren't you coming to calm her down?"
Roy looked at the sculptress, stunned,
"With her temper? I should be living on another continent after what I just heard."
Rose nodded in agreement,
"Put me in the ring with the most vile, inhuman criminals on the planet, and I'll slice 'em up. Put me in the ring against a pissed off were-lioness like Farrah, I hope for a quick death."
Johnny added,
"Besides, wrestling's on."
Donna rolled her eyes,
"And I used to wonder why men aren't allowed on Themysciria. Now, I know."
She and Alicia walked to the infirmary.
Elsewhere, Susan, Batman, and Captain Marvel were walking into the infirmary. The Dark Knight said,
"Farrah, you need to remain calm."
Persiana snarled,
"CALM!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU WANT ME TO REMAIN CALM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WE'RE BACK IN MY WORLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! REGISTRATION STILL EXISTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'M A WANTED FUGITIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! REED KILLED MY BOYFRIEND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HOW CAN YOU DO THIS TO ME?!!!!!!!!!!!"
Donna walked in,
"Sister, it was the only way. We were so desperate to have you back that we would have risked coming back to your world for help."
Captain Marvel nodded,
"Yeah, you're our friend, Farrah, and we're gonna look out for you while you're here."
Persiana did not noticeably calm down. She shot the stretchable scientist the most venomous glare she cloud give,
"You and I are not done here. If it wasn't for Meg, I would gut you like a fish right now."
Connor asked,
"What about her?"
Farrah explained,
"Miss Martian is a traitor. I uncovered a plan about a month ago. She's been an inside mole for the White Martians to invade Earth."
Donna shook her head,
"There is no way that is possible. We destroyed the remaining white Martians when the League refused to."
Farrah looked at them,
"Did you ever stop to think just how easy it was for them to be wiped out so quickly? It was hardly a fight for Superman and Captain Marvel. Miss Martian had teleported a majority of the hive to this world's Mars and the population has suddenly increased."
Reed shook his head,
"SHIELD has a satellite that monitors space. There can be no way for these White Martians to have successfully built an army to the levels you're saying, unless…"
Susan asked,
"How advanced is Martian technology?"
Persiana rubbed the bridge of her nose,
"Advanced. Even Reed would have a difficult time understanding the mechanics. It's well beyond understanding."
She looked up,
"Where's Meg?"
Connor said,
"I sent her out on an errand a little while ago."
The feline's eyes widened. She swallowed nervously and stood up,
"We need to stop her now."
Just then, the phone rang. Everyone was surprised, and waited until the answering machine began recording the message. It was Tony's voice. He said,
"Reed, where are you? Have you made any progress in finding Farrah yet? Please, pick up. It's urgent that you-."
Just then the machine was smashed. A sadistically grinning Miss Martian walked in, carrying in one hand the unconscious body of the Thing,
"It's too bad you humans had to get in my way. There was no way our race was ever going to take your Earth. But, this one…this Earth does not know we exist, and we have thrived for years. Now, we take it, and its people!"
She threw the unconscious body on the ground. The White Martian then ordered,
"Flash, Ravager, Human Torch, Red Arrow!"
The four Titans Tomorrow members appeared besides her. Meg ordered,
"Kill them, for your queen."
She then phased through the floor.
Persiana said,
"Wonder Woman and I are going after her. Can you hold the rest of them off?"
Superman nodded,
"Go. We'll take care of this."
Alicia went over to the Thing and tried to revive him. The Invisible Woman ordered,
"All right. In the words of the ever-lovin' blue eyed Thing; IT'S CLOBBERIN' TIME!"
Next Chapter:
As Wonder Woman and Persiana pursue the traitorous Miss Martian, the rest of Titans Tomorrow and the Fantastic Four join forces to try and bring some sense back into their teammates' minds.
