Chapter 4: Plans are Made

Nightwing put a band-aid on Dark Eagle's forehead. Other than that the Black Mistress was fine. Nightwing checked her vitals and found something.

"Nightwing?" said Zatanna "What's wrong?" she asked, reading her boyfriend's body-language.

"According to these vitals..." Nightwing looked at Dark Eagle "Dark Eagle is... pregnant,"

"I'm a month along," said Dark Eagle "That's why I wasn't meant to come back in time,"

"You're pregnant with Vengeance already?" said Bart.

"Who?" said Kid Flash.

"Well... remember I'm from a time-line that no longer exists... In my time the child of Dark Eagle swore vengeance against Blue Beetle when he killed the 5th Robin, the last of their family," said Bart "They went by Vengeance for obvious reasons. But, don't worry, that's never gonna happen so your kid won't be crazy,"

"Now I'm really glad you went back in time, Bart," said Dark Eagle.

Garfield walked up to her.

"Do I ever join the Justice League?" the shape-shifter asked.

"No... but you lead your own super-hero team which ends in League," said Dark Eagle.

"I do? Awesome!" said Garfield.

"Yeah," said the Girl Wonder "The Titans League is totally crash," she said, sarcastically.

They gave her strange looks and she kept her mouth shut.

"Hey!" Archeress suddenly said "Where's Kid Idiot?"

They looked around to see Kid Flash had disappeared.

"Bart, can you find him?" Nightwing asked.

Bart nodded and disappeared in a stream of yellow-and-red.

Kid Flash looked at the hollo-gram of Wally. Bart came speeding up behind him.

"Jared! You can't just run off like that!" Bart said, then he realized what he just said "When did I start sounding like Grandma Iris?"

Kid Flash turned around to look at the other time-traveller.

"I got bored," said Kid Flash "The you I know, the one in my future, is completely different than the you now,"

"Ha! People change," said Bart, there was a rumble from both their stomachs "Oh man! I haven't eaten anything in a whole 45 minutes!"

"How do you think I feel?" Kid Flash said "I haven't had anything since breakfast this morning,"

"C'mon, Jared, I'll show you to the Watchtower kitchen also known as my second home!" said Bart, leading Kid Flash away.

In the case of the speedsters quantity beat quality. Both Kid Flashes sat at the Watchtower kitchen table, both eating their 3rd sandwiches.

"Of course you found your way here," said the 5th Robin.

The Kid Flashes jumped.

"Great, another ninja," said Bart.

"Lauren! Don't do that!" Kid Flash said.

"Don't tell me what to do, K.F," said the Girl Wonder, knocking the speedster's head with a closed tessen.

"Why are you here, Lauren?" Bart asked.

"I got bored," she said, then she readjusted her mask.

"There's no one here who doesn't know who you really are," Bart pointed out "You can take your masks off,"

Robin 5.0 bit her lip before undoing the knot and letting her mask fall to the table. Kid Flash happily took his visor off and rubbed his eyes.

"Wow. I never fully realized just how brightly coloured the original Kid Flash uniform was," Jared said "... until now, anyway,"

"Hey!" Bart protested "Why do you wear such dark colours, Jared?"

"Meh. My colours correspond with Speed Arrow's," said Jared "I would have probably worn the first costume if I was The Flash's protégé... but I'm not. Besides, I think my uniform is pretty crash,"

The 3 time-travellers sat in silence for a moment, run out of things to say.

"I better get back to Dark Eagle and the others," said Lauren, tying her mask back around her head "So should you 2,"

The Kid Flashes groaned, Jared put his visor back on, and the 3 teenaged time-travellers walked out of the kitchen.

When they walked into the Watchtower briefing room they saw several more Justice League members had shown up. Along with Bumblebee, Guardian, Blue Beetle and Lagoon Boy.

"Neptune's beard! Can't a guy enjoy his day off?!" Lagoon Boy exclaimed.

"Me and Scarab both think this is a waste of time," said Blue Beetle.

"And who are you guys?" said Bumblebee.

"Why are strangers in the Watchtower?" said Guardian.

Dark Eagle looked to her left and spotted Robin #5 and the Kid Flashes. She elbowed Speed Arrow.

"Kid, where'd you go?" he asked his speedster-protégé.

"Got bored, went exploring, Bart found me, had something to eat and then Rob found us," the Fastest Boy Alive said "Sorry,"

"Now will you tell us what's going on?" Green Arrow asked Batman.

Batman nodded and looked to the time-travellers (again, Bart not included).

"My name is Dark Eagle," said the Black Mistress "In the future me and my protégé, Robin the Girl Wonder, protect New Gotham. I'm also the leader of the Team,"

"I'm Speed Arrow, these are my protégés, Kid Flash and Archeress. In the future we protect Central City and, on occasion, we've helped Tigress out in Star," said the Fastest Archer Alive.

"We come from nearly 30 years in the future. The future versions of you told us that they remember us coming back in time but they didn't originally tell us so we wouldn't change it," said Dark Eagle.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa," said The Flash "If you're from the future then why are you here? In the past?"

Dark Eagle and Speed Arrow exchanged looks.

"In the future The Flash isn't Barry Allen or even Bart Allen..." said Dark Eagle.

"So who is it?" Blue Beetle asked.

"It's Wally West," Speed Arrow croaked "He was my mentor when I was younger,"

"If you came back in time to save Wally you're a month to late," said Bumblebee.

"That's why we're here," said Kid Flash.

"Wally didn't die," said Archeress.

"He's still alive!" said Robin #5.

The League and newly arrived Team members were shocked. The Flash didn't know what to say or do.

"Start explaining," Superman spoke up.

"The energy that hit Wally were zeta-beams," said Speed Arrow "Wally attracted them because he's gone through zeta-tubes so much. They randomly transported Wally somewhere,"

"We're not sure where exactly except he's still on Earth, not on Rimbor or War World or anything like that," said Dark Eagle.

"Let's say you're telling the truth. How can we be sure you're not lying to us?" Guardian asked.

Dark Eagle looked to Speed Arrow, who nodded. Dark Eagle took a red box out of her neon-pink utility belt and connected it to the hollo-computer.

"Team to future," said Dark Eagle, typing on a hollo-keyboard "C'min, future,"

The fuzzy image cleared up to reveal a beat-up, older, Nightwing.

"Good to see you alive," he said.

"Same to you, Nightwing," said Dark Eagle "The Past Team need convincing. Can ya get a hold of Flash?"

"Yeah he's-" Nightwing was shoved out of the frame.

"What's up?" The Future Flash asked.

It was Wally! Older but still Wally! He wore his Kid Flash uniform only it was 100% red with yellow lightning bolts here and there, and his gloves were yellow.

"They need convincing you're alive," said Kid Flash, gesturing to the shocked heroes behind him.

"I'm pretty sure I'm alive," the Future Flash joked, poking his own arm.

"So Wally really is alive?" said the Past Flash.

"Yup!" said the Future Flash "Ya better start searching,"

"Why not just tell us where you are now?" Lagoon Boy asked.

The Future Nightwing stood up.

"Because we remember everything that's happening to you. Including this transmission," he said "And I also remember, back when I was watching this transmission, I did this," and he punched the Future Flash in the rig-cage.

"YOUCH! Not cool, Nightwing, not cool!" the Future Flash yelped before the transmission died and the screen turned to static.

"Convinced?" Archeress asked.

Everyone nodded.

"Nightwing, you better remember to punch Flash," said Kid Flash, laughing "That was totally crash!"

"So where do we start?" Virgil asked.

"My guess? The place you last saw Wally," said Dark Eagle.

"How long do we have?" Garfield asked.

"Depends," said Dark Eagle "If we made the time-vortex right... Tigress, is Benjy West 6 months old?"

"Yeah? Why?" Tigress asked.

"Then we have 5 months to find Wally," said Dark Eagle.

"Yeah. Lenny West doesn't get born until Benjy West is 1 year and 8 months old," said Archeress.

Tigress's eyes widened. Her and Wally were going to have another little boy. She looked at her boots and a small smile appeared on her face. She felt someone put their hand on her shoulder, when Tigress looked up she saw it was the current Flash.

"Okay," said Aqualad "I think it best for us to rest up and start our search tomorrow morning,"

"Agreed," said Nightwing, Speed Arrow and Dark Eagle.

"Until they return home, the Future Team will have to stay here," said Aqualad "At least until we find them some civvies to wear,"

"That won't be a problem," said Dark Eagle "You see, a few missions ago we were up against Zatara, I'm talking about the second Zatara, who was being mind-controlled by Psimon's son, Psimon Junior. Anyway, Zatara's magic hit me and now I can use sorcery,"

Dark Eagle had to lie. If they figured out she was Nightwing's daughter and she had magic powers... Nightwing and Zatanna only just got back together! Although the mind-controlled Zatara and Psimon Junior was all true.

"Yeah, Dark Eagle is the first Bat to have super-powers," said Robin 5.0.

"Emit ot yrt a wen kool," said Dark Eagle, smirking.

Mist circled around them and their uniforms became civvies. Dark Eagle had black jeans, a black leather jacket, red t-shirt and dark glasses. Robin 5.0 was wearing dark blue ripped-at-the-knee jeans, an orange hooded sweater and dark glasses. Kid Flash had plain light blue jeans, a white t-shirt and an unbuttoned green short-sleeved shirt along with black rimmed glasses with darker-red lenses. Archeress had a denim skirt, yellow t-shirt, denim jacket and dark glasses. Speed Arrow was wearing jeans, green t-shirt, dark brown hooded jacket and dark glasses.

"That must save a lot of time," said Bumblebee.

"It does," Zatanna said to herself.
