A.N.
Hey everyone, well I'm super depressed (I didn't get a part in Drama Club). So if this chapter gets angsty at all I apologize in advance. (I'm not in the best of moods But I'll try to not put any angst in it). Anyway enjoy review, yadda, yadda, yadda.
Previously on Ten Years Later
"But how do we find out if it's true or not?" Dick pulled her closer and looked at the rest of the Batclan.
"We find him and we make him talk, by any means necessary."
Apparently tracking down, a time traveling super villain was harder than anyone had given him credit for. It could be a while before they even got a hint at where Warp may be (or when for that matter). During that time, the past hero's reunited with their loved ones, spouses, and families and learnt all about what has happened in the past ten years, and how people reacted to their civilian "disappearance".
"The official story is that, one of the Wayne jets had gone down in a bad snowstorm, all communication was lost and no one was found. That was three months after Batman was declared missing with the others. We had used Ms. M to help in fooling people that she was you so no one question the timing of both occurrences." Dick told Bruce the evening after they had come back, as they helped Alfred lay out places for dinner.
Alfred had been very surprised to say the least when Bruce's had appeared again after ten years. But had taken it all in his stride when they had explained the situation, and he had offered Bruce a small yet warm smile before returning to the manor to work on dinner. Bruce had been impressed to say the least to learn of the actions Young Justices had acted upon and interested to learn more about how things had changed.
Earlier of course he had learnt That Richard and Barbra where married and expecting, and learned of Tim and Zantana marrying, but was surprised to learn that his youngest Damian was actually very close to both of them now. Though he still hated Tim, he didn't try to murder him, every chance he got (and that was a huge! improvement). It was also a surprise to learn that only Damian still lived at the manor. They each had rooms here, but Tim and Zee had an apartment in Gotham Heights, and Dick and Barbra had a small two story house, only a few blocks away.
Bruce was brought from his thoughts as he heard Dick clear his throat loudly. Looking up he saw his eldest staring at him oddly as though waiting for him to respond to something.
"Sorry what?" He said somewhat confused. Dick shook his head a bemused expression on his face.
"I was saying that you shouldn't go out in public, an less necessary neither as Bruce Wayne or Batman. The exception being the cave obviously and we'll have to be careful since DeathStroke knows your civilian ID, you don't want him starting anything especially when where trying to send you back to the proper time, and fix everything." Bruce nodded but couldn't help but think about the cold edge on his sons words towards the end again when talking of DeathStroke showing how much he aged; Dick would become a great man he could tell. But he found himself praying that he would be able to get home. He missed his Immatureness and innocence. He missed Tim and Damien's on going fighting. And above all the missed the past ten years that he should have been there for.
Meanwhile back at the caveā¦.
Even one had left for their families except The Martians and the Super's. Megan explained that a friend was watching their daughter, so she and Conner could stay here and help them work out the whole issue with Warp. Conner and Superman who had never gotten along before the latter went missing where at separate ends of the master computer. One was shifting through Data the present league had collected on the Time traveler for hints of where to find him, the other searching for clock or time themed showings that could draw his attention. The Martians where both mentally searching for him, expanding their ranges hopping from mind to mind to find the correct one.
The overall atmosphere was awkward, dew to the Kryptonians and they all focused on their tasks at hand.
Meghan's P.O.V.
Meghan was happily shifting through thoughts after thoughts as she sat near her Uncle It had been ten years since she last seen him, 38 in Martian years and she was overjoyed to find that he was relatively safe and unharmed. They had talked briefly for a while both mentally and literally and discussed many things. Her life as Megan Kent, her daughter, her job as a kindergarten teacher and much more, and her uncle had seemed generally interested in it all.
Not to say he didn't care about his nieces wellbeing but Martians where less emotionally connected to their relatives then humans (Megan was an odd ball) so it came as kind of a surprise when he smiled slightly, when she told of the time Cassie had dressed as him for Halloween and had insisted to anyone who listen that she was half Martian.
She stopped her shifting of thoughts when she heard the word time and narrowed in on the mind. Furrowing her brow she listened intently catching the train of thought the mind was on. Gasping she jumped to her feet immediately alerting the attention of all in the room. In a second Conner was at her side peering at her worriedly.
"What is it, what's wrong?" he asked His voice both soft yet firm. Over the years he had progressed at controlling his emotions (with her aid).
"We need to call Nightwing." She said half her attention on them the other on the mind she had finally found. "I've found him, I've found Warp."
Mystery P.O.V
The man smiled as he watched the live footage from the cave. He figured they would be onto him in no time with Nightwings guide, and with the Martians set to work there was little he could do to hide Warp from them. But they didn't know he was watching, waiting to strike, and there was no way he was going to let the founders go back, and with them ignorant on his source of information on them. It would be all too easy to make sure that they can never ever go back.
