Chapter 3: Explanations
The super-heroes tried to proses what they were seeing.
Dark Eagle was in a black, leather, body suit with neon pink bands around the bottom of the sleeves. There was a neon pink eagle emblem on her chest, it was like the Nightwing emblem only the bottom of the wings curved inwards like feathers and didn't have the bird head, it just curved inwards to connect the wings. She had a neon pink utility belt, the pockets were a darker pink than the belt itself. Hanging on either side of her hips was a tonfa (tonfa: a weapon much like escrima sticks only with handles). A thin neon pink band around the edge of the handles. She had fingerless, leather, gloves and black combat boots. Dark Eagle had a domino mask and her hair went down to the middle of her back.
Speed Arrow was wearing a black, leather, sleeveless, jacket with a hood. His jacket had a red Arrow emblem on it and a yellow lightning bolt going through it. He had black gloves with cabinets like the speedsters and a domino mask. He had black cargo-pants with dark-red and yellow flames around the bottom of the trouser legs. Speed Arrow had a red, elbow-length, t-shirt on with darker-red and yellow flames around the edge of the sleeves. On his back was a black quiver with a red lightning bolt on it and on his belt was a collapsed collapsible bow. And on his belt buckle was a red SA.
The supposed '5th Robin' had a strip of black fabric tied around her head with slits cut in so you could see her light, brown, eyes. She had a short-sleeved, red, tunic with long, black, sleeves underneath and elbow high, red, gloves. She wore orange shorts and her golden utility belt hung loosely on her hips. Under her shorts were black leggings and she had knee high, red, combat boots. Her cape was black with a hood and orange interior. Her ruby-red hair was down and fell into her hood, 2 strands framing her face.
Archeress wore a lot of leather. Her mask had the same outline of Tigress's mask, only her's was dark-violet and was deprived of any cat features. She wore a black, leather, jacket that only went halfway down her back, it had sawn on pockets and a violet Arrow emblem over the heart. Underneath she wore a violet t-shirt. Archeress had a black, leather, mini-skirt with sawn on pockets. Violet legging and black, leather, knee high, combat boots. Her combat boots had 2 thin golden chains handing from each boot with a little violet Arrow emblem hanging from them. Her black quiver had 2 straps, that crossed over her chest, and a violet Arrow emblem on it and she had fingerless, black, leather gloves. Unlike Speed Arrow her bow was in her quiver and not attached to her belt. Her blonde hair was in 2, chain-saw style, poney-tails with ginger tips. Her emerald eyes sparkled through the holes in her mask.
Kid Flash didn't wear the traditional Kid Flash uniform. His had black trousers and a crimson-red waist (the 2 colours separated the same way the yellow and red was separated in the other K.F uniform). The separation pattern was mirrored higher up his chest so his arms, neck and his upper chest was black. On his crimson-red waist was a black lightning bolt on the white circle. This Kid Flash only had part of a cowl. It went up his jaw-line, around his ears and around his hair line. His brunette hair looked like a wind was forever blowing from his left side. He had a large visor that covered half his face with black lenses and a crimson-red frame. He had black gloves with cabinets.
Archeress slid off of the Kid Flash's back and cracked her back. The 5th Robin helped Dark Eagle to her feet.
"Bart? What do you mean they're from the future?" Nightwing asked.
"Okay, well... teenagers today look-up to the Justice League and you guys. But in my future the heroes we look-up to are these guys!" said Bart "But I have no idea why they're here,"
"We're here on a matter concerning Wallace West," said Speed Arrow.
"How do we know we can trust you?" said Superboy.
"Miss Martian," said Speed Arrow "Can you scan our minds. We'll gladly show you what happened,"
Miss Martian's eyes glowed Martian green and she played the memory for everyone in the room...
An older looking Nightwing and a 22-year-old in a short-sleeved Batman-suit work at a computer console. There are recognizable heroes and not-so-recognizable heroes there.
"I can't believe this is happening again," says Nightwing.
Dark Eagle turns her head to look at Speed Arrow.
"I wish I could go," she says.
"I know babe, but the vortex will only have enough power for 5 people to go through," Speed Arrow turns to look at a 20-year-old in a Zatara-suit plus a domino mask "at least Zatara's coming,"
Dark Eagle and Speed Arrow lean in and it changes from Dark Eagle's to the 5th Robin's point-of-view before the 2 kiss. Robin watches the yellow vortex come into existence.
"That's awesome, totally crash!" the Girl Wonder says and the P.O.V changes to that of Kid Flash's.
Dark Eagle walks in front of the vortex. She put her hand on her hip and gestures to the vortex.
"You guys better get got," she says.
"Yeah, yeah Dark Eagle. Understood," says Kid Flash.
There's an explosion and the blast forces Dark Eagle through the vortex. Kid Flash turns his head to see several criminals coming in.
"We're not allowing you to help find The Flash. The Flash has done a lot and if he's never found then he'll never become The Flash!" says one.
Kid Flash runs forward and the P.O.V changes to Archeress's. She notches an arrow and fires. Hitting Morgan la Fey and blowing up on impact. Robin takes out her 2 tessen, unfolds them, flames flicker along the frames and throws them.
"Get through the vortex!" Zatara shouts "Now!"
Robin catches her tessen and back-flips through the vortex. Kid Flash grabs Archeress, Archeress clings to his back and they run through the vortex.
Miss Martian's eyes stopped glowing. Everyone stared at the time-travellers (Bart not included in that count).
"You weren't meant to come here," said Nightwing to Dark Eagle.
"No I wasn't. Zatara 2.0 was meant to," said Dark Eagle.
"So who's who?" Virgil asked.
"I'm the 5th Robin," said the 5th Robin "My mentor here is the Black Mistress of New Gotham, Dark Eagle,"
"I'm Archeress," said Archeress "My mentor is the Fastest Archer Alive, Speed Arrow," she gestured to the flame-themed hero "and my 'partner'," she made airquotes with her fingers "is the 3rd Kid Flash," the black-and-red speedster waved.
"Third? You were the second in my time," said Bart.
"Yeah, but then you came here and became Kid Flash 2.0," said Kid Flash "We're from the future you've created by coming back in time,"
"Why are you back in time?" Batman finally spoke up "Who was that… younger Batman?"
"That younger Batman is the second Batman. But he's still the annoying Batboy to me," said Dark Eagle "He used to be Batgirl's protégé and took up the Batman mantle when…"
"I died?" Batman filled in.
"Of natural courses about 2 years ago. Nightwing and Redbeak were devastated," said Robin 5.0 "I came about a month later,"
"Who's Redbeak?" Robin 3.0 asked.
"You," said the Girl Wonder "D.E's ex-mentor,"
"So why are you back in time?" Tigress asked, speaking for the first time.
"To put it simply," said Speed Arrow, shifting his single quiver strap "Wally's still alive,"
There was silence.
"That's impossible!" exclaimed Tigress "I- we were there! We saw him die!"
"The beams that hit Wally were zeta-beams!" said Speed Arrow, almost bored "Zeta-tubes work by taking apart your molecules and putting them back together somewhere else. That Dooms-Day bomb worked on a similar principle only it wouldn't have put the Earth's molecules back together,"
"Because Wally went through zeta-tubes so much he attracted the haywire zeta-beams. The Flash didn't attract any because of his faster speed. Bart didn't attract any because he hasn't gone through zeta-tubes as much," said Dark Eagle.
"So... Wally was transported?" said Nightwing.
"To some random location. The future versions of you lot told us they remember all of this but they haven't told us what happens," said the Girl Wonder.
"And you're here to help us find Wally?" said Tigress.
"Yep. Which means Henry and Benjy will know their father," said Speed Arrow.
Tigress stared at him and she ran out of the room. Miss Martian flew after her.
"Do you know anything about the missing 72 hours?" Virgil asked.
"Virgil!" Nightwing, Zatanna, Aqualad, Superboy and Rocket said.
"Yes... we know what happened," said Dark Eagle "We were there,"
They stared at the newly arrived time-travellers.
"Your not meant to find out what happened for another decade or 2," said Speed Arrow.
Dark Eagle suddenly doubled over.
"D.E!" Robin the Girl Wonder exclaimed.
"I'm fine!" Dark Eagle insisted.
"No you're not," said Speed Arrow.
"C'mon, we'll have you checked out in the Watchtower med-bay," said Nightwing.
