The next morning brought a terrible surprise.
"What happened to him?" Steve asked.
"I do not know. We had gone to bed and I awoke this morning to the door closing. Conner had stumbled in and was out cold." Kaldur explained.
"I'm worried. First Robin then Conner? This isn't good." Megan had started to hover in her worry.
"Right now there isn't much we can do. Thor can you take Conner to the medical bay?" Natasha asked.
"Yes." Thor picked up the unconscious boy. The remaining people were lost in their own thoughts when Furry came by.
"Stark, Banner, and West are doing what they can. Standing around will get the same amount of work done as worrying. We have another training room. I suggest you use it. From what I heard from West your mentors wouldn't like it if you were out of practice."
"You are correct."
"Rogers, take them to the cafeteria for breakfast then to the training room." Furry ordered.
"Yes sir."
The three young heroes ignored the strange looks they received as they sat with Clint, Natasha and Steve.
"So you have mentors?" Natasha asked trying to break the awkward tension.
"Yes. My king is my mentor and I am very honored for him to have allowed me to fight by his side even though my father is his greatest enemy."
"Your father is a villain?" Kaldur nodded.
"If you do not recall so is my brother." Thor said as he joined the table.
"Well if we're being truthful about crazy family members…my mom is an ex-con, and my sister and dad are assassins. I was being trained until my mom got us out. My mentor, Green Arrow, is helping."
"Clint and I are assassins."
"You mean you actually kill?" Megan asked shocked.
"You don't?"
"No, no, no! That is one line we are told never to cross. My mentor, my uncle, has told me that it is not our place to decide the fate of them but societies."
"For some villains in our world they actually want you to snap and cross that line." Wally said appearing.
"Gah!" Artemis shouted in shock. She smacked him upside the head.
"What do you mean?" Steve asked curious.
"Well Robin's mentor, Batman, has this archenemy called Joker. The Joker is really messed up in the head. He wants to make Bats crack, even if it means he ends up dead because if Batman kills that means the Joker wins."
"So whose your mentor?" Natasha asked.
"My uncle."
"Is the super speed a hereditary thing?" Clint asked.
"No, it's an experiment. Lots of unstable chemicals and being hit by lightning. So the fact that it happened to three people and each of us lived is pretty lucky. Well I got to go. So far they are stable, but they aren't waking up yet. Later." Wally sped off.
"May we proceed to the training room now?" Kaldur asked.
"Of course." Clint led the trio to the other training room.
Kaldur swam in the pool while Artemis and Megan sparred. Natasha was assigned to watch them until further notice.
"Kaldur is acting odd." Megan said while dodging a punch.
"What do you mean?" Artemis asked.
"He's slowing down." Artemis looked to see that Megan was correct. Their leader was indeed slowing down drastically.
"Kaldur!" they yelled running over.
"Do…not enter. There is something in the…" Kaldur was out just as he placed a hand on the edge of the pool. Natasha threw them some towels to pull Kaldur out with.
Artemis and Megan stood watching Wally zoom around running tests while Tony and Bruce studied previous tests.
"The water has been drained from the pool and drinking water shows no sign of being tampered with." Cullsion informed. He turned to the two girls.
"It would be best to get some sleep, we will have guards patrolling to prevent anything else from happening.
"But-"
"Get some rest, you can't help here." Wally ordered. With a sigh the girls left.
"You two should go get something to eat." Wally added to the two men.
"We have been eating." Tony said.
"Something healthy and more than just fruit."
"Are you sure? With what's been going on…" Bruce asked looking a little worried.
"Everything will be fine. Go on." Wally pushed the two men out the door. Wally looked at some test tubes yawning. Rubbing his eye he set the tube down and sat in a chair.
"A little nap won't hurt." He mumbled. He never noticed the figure standing in the corner.
