Chapter 6: Where am I? Who am I?
Unknown Location; Unknown Time
Miss Martian de-camouflages, in the pale moonlight of the desert, alone. She groans as she pushes herself into a sitting position. Kyatchaa s'lamoth… (Ow, my head.) She looks up. K'azzarr M'gann? N'da M'arzz. (Where am I? This can't be Mars.) She looks to the sky. Ah'lunzz? (One moon.) Then sifts sand through her fingers. Sesess perakazz? Hw'asheta! (White sand. Oxygen.)
She bumps her head lightly with her hand. "Hello, Megan. I'm on Earth." She walks down a slope. But how did I get on Earth? Why am I wearing this costume? She brings a hand to her head. And why does my head hurt so much? Without warning, she trips and rolls down the hill. She quickly sits back up once she reaches the bottom. "Is this a dream?"
A figure lands in front of her with a crash, creating a flurry of sand. As it clears She sees that Superboy is the source, though he has a feral look on his face as they both look at each other, confused and not recognizing eachother.
M'gann's eyes go from his face to the red S symbol on his black t-shirt. "Wait, I've seen that symbol." She shifts so she's sitting on her feet. "Are you… Superman?"
With a roar, Superboy stands tall and rips his shirt off. Before he could do anything, they both look up as they hear another roar, just like Superboy's. A second figure lands right where Superboy was, kicking up another cloud of dust.
M'gann could hear two growls and the sound of a struggle from within it the haze. When the dust cloud cleared she saw Legend and Superboy, hands locked, both trying to push the other back.
Legend then pulls his head back and slams it into Superboy's, knocking him back slightly, but just enough for Legend to kick one of his legs out. Superboy fell with a thud, but as soon as he was on the ground he grabbed Legend's leg and threw him, as soon as he was out of sight Superboy leaped after him leaving behind a stunned M'gann who was breathing heavily and hugging herself. "Not a dream… a nightmare."
Robin walks dazedly through the dry heat in the sun, using the rock formation beside him to help him stay orientated. Coming to the edge of the formation, he remains mostly hidden, looking out beyond the formation. Where he can see smoke over the ridge, his eyes widening as his brain processes what it is. A jeep speeds past where he's hiding, but he's not there. As the jeep moves past the Boy Wonder can be seen over their heads in a crevice in the rock.
"Those are Bialyan Republic Army uniforms." He says as he booted up his HoloGlove. "But what are Bialyans doing in-" His thought process stopped as he looked at his location on the map. "Uh, Bialya? Okay, better question: what am I doing in Bialya?" His gaze goes straight to the date on the bottom of his HoloScreen. Reading 12:02; 04-09. His eyes go wide in shock. "in September?! What happened to March? Better radio Batman." His finger going to his comm set.
"Maintain radio silence at all times." He remembers his mentor saying.
"Or not." He muses before walking to the edge of the rock, executing a quadruple flip. Landing perfectly, but something on top of one of the rocks catches his attention. The black cloth with the red S and a blue cloth with a yellow L on it, both were clearly ripped off of something, that much the Boy Wonder can tell, but with nothing else, he scrutinizes the shirts.
In a shack in another part of the desert, Kid Flash's voice can be heard. "Hey, Beautiful, wake up."
Artemis opens her eyes, groaning, but seeing through a hole in the roof, and on the edge of her vision, Kid Flash, decked out in in his stealth suit. She then closed her eyes as she brought her hand to her head and sat up. She's taken by surprise when KF is right in front of her. He smiles brightly, but she still scurries away. Grabbing her bow and moving until her back is to the wall.
"Hey, it's okay, I won't hurt you. I'm one of the good guys." He says, standing up. "You know, I'm Kid Flash."
"I've seen Kid Flash on the news, he doesn't wear black." Artemis scrutinized. KF looks down, just as confused as she is. "Uh, little unclear on that myself. What about you? Green Arrow fan?" he chuckles at his own joke.
Artemis looks down, shock covered her features and showed in her posture. "Who put me in this!?"
KF's eyes go wide. "Whoa. I am not touching that with a ten foot- uh, whatever. So you know how to use that bow?" he changes the subject.
"Yeah, my dad taught me." She admits, then fear falls from her posture, only to be replaced by anger. "Dad! He must've done this. Another one of his stupid tests."
"What kind of test?" Kid Flash asks, curious. "He probably wants me to kill you." She admits, completely nonchalant about the idea.
Kid Flash's eyes go wide, but both of them look up as an all-too-recognizable sound starts getting louder from right over their heads. Kid grabs Artemis' hand, pulling her out of the shack, both of them getting knocked down by the force of the explosion at their backs.
In the sand, three tanks are approaching. Lead by a jeep armed with a machine-gun. "Mat khalee-homshee yih-raboo!" (Don't let them escape!) one shouts in Bialyan. The soldier fires the machine gun at teens retreating forms.
Artemis looks over her shoulder before dropping into a roll, coming to a kneeling position with her bow aimed at the leading car. She releases the arrow, which impacts the ground below the front of the car, the arrow exploded and flipping the vehical over both her and Kid Flash's heads before it lands and bounces two more times before coming to a stop.
The speedster looks back to Artemis, seeing her hidden behind a small rock formation and firing at more of the Bialyan troops. He slides his goggles over his eyes before taking off.
At a distance, the tanks fire two more missiles. Artemis gasps as Kid picks her up and runs off. The missiles landed behind them.
"Sorry." He apologizes, as Artemis looks at him rather than the army at his back. "They've got bigger arrows." Once again, the tanks take aim.
Kid looks over his shoulder before running faster to dodge the bullets, causing Artemis to turn more into his hold to avoid the dust and dirt and to minimize the fact that she's clenching her eyes shut with each impact.
"Thanks." She says quietly as they finally start to run in a straighter line again.
Kid Flash laughs lightly. "Told ya, good guy. Now, uh, not to pry, but, what's your name?" he says with a small smile, though it drops ever so slightly. "Oh, and what's this about you killing me?"
"I'm actually on Earth." M'gann thinks excitedly as she flies around the desert landscape. "I've wanted this for so long… even if it's not exactly like TV." She makes a loop around a rock formation that stands tall in the air before coming to a stop between two tree carcasses. "But why can't I remember how I got here?" She sits cross-legged, but still floating in the air. "Concentrate, Remember." Her eyes open, glowing white, as flash occurs.
It's night in the Bialyan desert, before M'gann is Superboy, who is kneeling. Looking around confused for a few moments before he yells and charges at Legend Who did the same and ripped off his shirt.
Another flash occurs, Superboy stands tall in front of a large machine, looking at the control panel. "Good idea, Go." Aqualad's voice instructs. "Be careful." Superboy tells Miss Martian with a small smile. "She'll be fine, she's the strongest one here. You got this M'gann." Legend says to the group, whispering the last part to Miss Martian.
Another flash occurs once more, "Careful Superboy, their hot." M'gann tells Superboy as he reaches for a tray of cookies. Taking one off the tray with no problem.
Wally, in uniform, zips in and takes the cookie from Superboy's hand. "Not as hot as you Babe." He says before throwing it into air, oblivious to the angry look Superboy is giving him. As the cookie was about to reach his mouth, Legend grabbed it and took the tray. "Come on Wally, sharing is caring." Legend says eating the cookie in his hand, offering the tray to a thankful Superboy and a sulking Wally.
Superboy takes another as he looks M'gann. "Uh, thanks, Wally. That's… sweet." M'gann says with a chuckle. "Not as sweet as you, sugar." Wally says, right after swallowing.
Artemis hits him in the back of the head, ignoring the small noise of pain in favor of an insult and taking a cookie. "Oh, grow up!" Robin and Legend started laughing at Artemis' jab at Wally while Wally coughed trying not chock on the cookies
"Team, report to the mission room." Batman's voice travels over the speaker system, gaining everyone's attention.
M'gann smiles brightly. "I'm on a team. I have friends, and a boy who might be…" she trails in thought, before forcing herself to focus again. "I have to find them."
"Hello? Um, Team?" she tries with her telepathy. "Maybe they're just out of my range." M'gann thinks to herself, staying positive before she takes off going faster and disappearing due to her camouflage.
Wally comes to a stop on the far side of a small ravine, using the shade to block them from the afternoon sun. Setting Artemis on both her feet before bending over, panting. She looks at him in an odd combination of irked, disappointed, and confused. "Sorry. Running on empty."
He wipes at his brow as he stands straight again, but still breathing heavily. "Don't think I've eaten in a while." Opening a small compartment on the inside of his wrist. "Been out here over 24 hours, or my cupboards wouldn't be bare."
Artemis looks like she wants to say something, but before something drops in between the two. The impact kicked up a cloud of dust and sand before it fully clears revealing who turns and yells at Kid Flash. Startling the speedster before hitting him with a backhand that knocks him into the rock formation.
Looking over his shoulder he sees Artemis. Realizing she's his next target she jumps into a back-handspring giving herself enough space to draw her bow and aim an arrow at Superboy's chest. Right before she could release the arrow they heard another yell, they looked up to see Legend coming down fast, aiming for Superboy.
Artemis jumped out the way as Legend came crashing down on Superboy. She looked back as the dust cloud was clearing to see the two clones trading blows, each hit echoing in the distance.
They both looked to the sky and yelled into the void as telltale whistle can be heard. Zooming right past Artemis and landing right between Superboy's and Legend's feet.
Their collective cry of pain Is enough to reach M'gann. Gripping her head, she sees Superboy and Legend surrounded by the flames of the missile. Two Bialyan tanks approach the crater and a fallen Artemis.
Hearing them approach, Legend and Superboy stand up, though the clones are faster than the archer. Artemis gripped her head before looking at the tanks, Artemis is shocked to see Superboy and Legend land in front of her, almost protectively.
Superboy jumps to land on top of the left Bialyan tank and Legend does the same with the right, grabbing ahold of the main gun and bending it. As they rip off the machine guns on top of the tanks Superboy got shot in the back. Turning towards the source Superboy grabs the gun, removing the barrel from the gun the soldier was holding before grabbing the soldier and throwing him up and away.
With a scream, Superboy grabs onto the top of the tank before ripping it clean off and throwing it away too. The second tank shoots at him, the force throwing him into the rocks. Unhurt, the boy of steel stands up in the small crater before jumping back at the tank with a scream.
Legend continuously punching the top of the tank his was on until the soldier that Superboy through earlier came out of nowhere and shot a rocket at him. Seeing the rocket, Legend grabbed it, but it was moving too fast, he went flying with the rocket into the same rock formation Superboy landed in.
"Whose side are they on?" Artemis asks herself out loud. "You wanna stick around and find out?" Wally asks back, both of them watching as Superboy and Legend both get back up and beat up on the tank. The two run off, away from the chaos.
Wally runs quickly over the sandy dunes, unfortunately tripping on a rock on the way down, only giving him and Artemis enough time to gasp before they roll the rest of the way down the hill.
They're both stunned when two fighter jets fly over them. They stand up to watch, thinking they're not the targets. However, the fighters circle back around, firing at the two.
"Get down!" Kid Flash yells over the gunfire, bringing both to the ground as the fighter blows past them. The two circle back around, Artemis notched an arrow and taking aim.
"Don't worry, I'm almost there." M'gann's voice rings out in their heads just as Artemis takes her shot, stunned by the voice in her head, she misses completely.
"Did you just hear a girl talking in your head?" Artemis asks, freaked out.
"Girls are always on my mind," he says with a smirk, though his eyes change slightly as he looks more directly at Artemis out of the corner of his eye. "but they're not usually talking."
M'gann flies behind the two planes, hiding in their blind spot, before she moves her hands out in front of her and clapped them together. Mirroring her moves the two planes Crashed into eachother, creating an explosion behind M'gann's Back as she lowers herself to the ground by Artemis and Kid Flash.
"Well, J'onn, the costume looks familiar, but I'm not sure the new bod screams "Manhunter"." KF says to the Martian with enough sarcasm and impressively creeped out in his tone to get his point across.
"You know my uncle J'onn?" she asked surprised. "Hello, Megan, of course you do. You're Kid Flash, Wally! And you're Artemis."
"Wait wait wait. Martian Manhunter is your uncle?" Wally asks, taking in the new information happily considering he's not riddled with bullet holes thanks to her. "Is that how you know my name?"
"Your name is really Wally?" Artemis asks, unimpressed. Wally hangs his head and groans. "Ohh…"
"It's okay." M'gann assures. "We're teammates, friends, I made you cookies."
That last one catches Wally's attention, but also Artemis' in a very bad way. "You know her?" She asks as she turns her head towards him and puts one hand on her hip.
"No, I swear, beautiful. Never seen her before in my life." Wally tries to explain. "At least not that I…" He stop trying to remember, but he couldn't.
M'gann sighs. "You've both lost your memories too." She hears more Jeeps come in, turning she sees them heading towards a black pillar of smoke. "C'mon, I fill you in as we go. Robin, Legend, and Superboy need our help."
"Of course." Wally drawls before following M'gann and Artemis. "Robin, Legend and Super what now?" he asks, only now realizing what she said as he was about to say it.
Superboy and Legend struggle against the bindings around their wrists, several wires branching off each one with two Bialyan soldiers holding onto the end of each. They screamed out, trying to overpower them. Superboy turns his attention to the ones holding his left arm and only pulls that arm, finally able to knock over at least a couple of soldiers. Legend whips the wires on his right arm, knocking down a few of them.
Seeing this a higher-ranked soldier steps up, armed with a gun. "You must control their minds." He commands the man behind him.
His pale white skin covered by a button-down top and a brown hooded cloak. Even though it is supposed to cover most of his head there is still some pink that can be seen near his eyes. He raises his hand towards the two. "There doesn't seem to be much of a mind left in either of them to control." He muses. "But… be still."
Superboy and Legend stopped fighting against the soldiers, turning their attention to the hooded man, their eyes going wide for a second before closing as they both fall to their knees then to the ground.
Now unconscious it only requires two Bialyan soldiers each to drag both clones to the truck. The pale man smirks as they do.
The trucks departing, missing an unconscious Aqualad, in his stealth suit, hidden only by a small outcropping of rocks.
Night falls across the Bialyan desert. The only sound is light footsteps as Robin comes up a dune, his HoloGlove displaying a map. "I wish I could remember why I put a GPS marker here." He mumbles. Seeing over the top of the next dune briefly, he drops, still seeing the large mechanical/electronic device sitting out in the open. "Huh." He muses. "Guessing that's why."
Looking up over the dune the Boy Wonder realizes that the entire area is completely deserted. Narrowing his eyes, he jumps, landing within five feet of the device. Just as he lands six soldiers stand up, wiping the sand they were hiding under from their uniforms.
"Sahibit il galala tureadahoo hayan!" (Her Majesty wants them alive! Especially him.) one of the soldiers shouts a reminder to the others. All of them charging the Boy Wonder.
His eyes narrow, before He drops a smoke bomb as all the soldiers get within range. Many of them start coughing instantly, only to be cut off by sounds of impact.
One looks through the smoke as best he can, but Robin comes at him from the left as he is looking away and takes him down quickly.
Robin was already sizing up one of the soldiers, but as he dodges the hook punch, and retaliates with a kick to the ribs. Kid Flash takes out the other three, two more advance, armed with their guns. The first manages to fire off two shots before they're both lifted into the air, just as Robin turns towards the source, armed with a birdarang.
Robin turns back, M'gann flies behind him, but in camouflage so he can't see her. That is until she turns visible again.
Kid Flash runs at another soldier, who raises his foot to try and kick the teen Hero, Wally slows down and grabs the soldier's foot mid kick. Spinning him around at high speeds before throwing him at two more advancing soldiers.
Looking to his left he sees the last soldier running away, but he also sees a green arrow following the attempted escapee. The arrow cracks behind his turned back, releasing a bola that wraps around his legs, making the soldier fall to the ground.
All three look to Artemis on the dune, a stoic look on her face, before she smiles softly and makes her way down the dune.
"KF!" Robin says as he and the redhead head towards each other, grasping the speedster's hand in his own. "Man, it is good to see a familiar face."
"Hey Rob." The Boy Wonder seems to have been expecting that. "Memory loss?"
"Six months!" Robin cries, outraged, or just offended. "Let's hogtie these creeps and compare notes." After doing so, the teens all grouped together To discuss their situation.
"So, we're a Team?" Robin asks, kinda-sorta believing what M'gann is telling him. "The four of us along with Legend and Superboy." M'gann says, saving the hardest to believe piece for last.
Robin grabs something from his belt and responds with ease and speed. "Then these must be theirs." In his hand are the remains of pairs shirts, one is black with a red S symbol on the front and the other is blue with a Yellow L symbol on it. "Yes." M'gann gasps, taking them from the Boy Wonder. "Did you see them?"
"I think we did!" Artemis realizes while Kid Flash mulls it over. "The two feral guys? Some teammates, one attacked us and the other dropped in and attacked him." He says annoyed.
"They didn't know who we were." Artemis defends. "I don't even know who we are!"
"I remember Batman ordering Radio silence." Robin inputs. "Our Team must work for him."
In an instant, Wally has a smirk on his face. "How do you know we don't work for my mentor?" he asks, hitting the Flash logo on his chest for emphasis. When he did his suit suddenly goes from black to yellow, making him stop short. "Whoa." He hits it a couple more times, watching as his color scheme changes. "This is so cool."
Artemis and Robin try it too, with no results. "We look ridiculous." She snaps, catching everyone's attention but Wally- who is still acting like a five-year-old with a new toy. "Quit touching yourself already!" Wally does it one more time, causing Artemis to make a sound of annoyance. "We need our memories back."
Miss Martian nervously rubs her hands together nervously. "To help Superboy and Legend." She thinks to herself, hardening her resolve before bringing her hands to her head and her eyes glowing white.
Robin, Artemis, and Kid Flash look around stunned as they see small chunks of memories playing around them.
"I brought you into my mind to share what I remember so far." A white form appears before the three, using M'gann's voice. "But I need your help," finally, M'gann's form appears. "together our broken memories can form a whole if you open your minds to mine."
Artemis looks angered and betrayed. "You wanna go through our private thoughts?" M'gann raises her hands in defense before she even responds. "I don't wish to intrude but-"
"You need to hack our minds to figure out what happened to us. Got it, go." Robin finishes, snapping his fingers as he gives her his okay. "My brain's all yours. Try not to let its brilliance overwhelm you." Wally flirts.
"Or underwhelm you." Robin pipes up. "Hey, why isn't anyone just whelmed?" he asks.
Artemis ignores the fact that they're spouting nonsense and turns to M'gann. Hearing Wally step up, her eyes fall on him, what catches her attention is his soft smile and the fact that his hand is reaching out for hers.
"Ugh, fine. But just the last six months, and only what you need." She tells M'gann, glancing back at Wally briefly.
M'gann nods, reaching her hands out as astral projections of hands branch off her hands and her head to meet with Artemis, Kid Flash, and Robin's heads. The memory clips become more uniform before finally becoming a full image.
"The Watchtower detected an immense power surge in the Bialyan desert." Batman says looking at the team. Behind him, a holoscreen is displaying a map to the Team. "Spectral Analysis revealed elements non-terrestrial in origin. Your job is to find out what happened at that site. What landed there?"
Batman types on the keyboard again, changing the screen to show Queen Bee. "Bialya is a rogue state ruled by Queen Bee and not a member of the League's UN charter. All communications are subject to interception." The image changes back to the map. "Maintain radio silence at all times."
A flash occurred; Looking out through binoculars at the Bialyan desert, Batman's voice continues. "You will land in Quarac, on Bialya's border," the binoculars fall, and the attention is turned again to Miss M, Superboy, Legend, and Artemis, who are backed by the bioship, and Superboy is moving the same thing that Robin had a GPS marker on. "Two clicks from the hot zone."
"All clear." The Boy Wonder tells them. "The Bialyan's control the site." Artemis' voice speaks up, as she and Robin crawl through the desert to look over a small Bialyan camp.
"Set up here." Kaldur's voice tells Superboy, who drops the device he was carrying on his back. The straps disappear and only need one button to fully activate the machine.
"We'll be up and running in no time." Robin says as he types away at the keyboard on the machine.
"Jackpot!" Wally says from behind the Boy Wonder, standing up from his slight crouch. "This site's lousy with Zeta Beam radiation." Robin says looking at the speedster. "Detecting non-terrestrial trace elements from the tent." He informs the Team.
"I'll check it out in camouflage mode." M'gann offers. "Good idea, go." Kaldur tells her. "Be careful." Superboy and Legend say immediately, they then give each other a look. "And maintain telepathic contact." Kaldur reminds her. "I will Aqualad." She promises.
"AQUALAD!" all four shout at the same time, finally remembering. "Where is he? What happened next?" Robin asks.
"I don't know. That's the last thing I- we remember." She admits, worry coating her voice. Kid and Artemis look down at their clasped hands, pulling them both away.
"Ugh-" Wally grumbles, moving his hand to rub the back of his neck, looking up and away as he talks. "I, uh, we landed 24 hours ago. If Kaldur's been wandering the desert that long, well, that's not good for a guy with gills."
"Now that I know to look for him…" Robin grumbles, instantly pulling up and typing on his HoloGlove. "He's close, but he's not moving." He informs.
Outside a tent is a squad of Bialyan soldiers. Inside the tent, a mechanical apparatus holds a large sphere in place. Electricity sparks as the sphere spins in front of the scientists who are taking notes. Off to the right of the sphere, Superboy and Legend are held against a metal table and are being subjected to electric shocks as well.
"Raise to shock level 4." One of the men says with a heavy accent.
The scientist that was sitting at the control panel, with a screen that showed an outline of Superboy and Legend and three-level readings, types a command onto the keyboard which raises the red, orange, and blue bars. Shocking Superboy and Legend once more, they scream of protest, but their eyes remain closed.
The sphere starts spinning, bringing everyone's attention in the tent to that rather than the clones. Psimon steps up, his hood up once more, his arms crossed and an almost smug look on his face. "Fascinating." He muses darkly.
Tula, vis ol may, Aga pa, olsey." (Tula, please, I love you.) Aqualad murmurs, his face scrunching up in pain as Robin, KF, Artemis, and Miss M nervously look him over for any physical damage.
"I can't restore his memories in this state." M'gann tells the others. "He needs immediate rehydration." Robin says sternly. "Call the Bioship."
"It's out of range." Miss M says instantly, then looks to KF. "You can get him there quickly."
"He's too heavy, and I'm too low on fuel." Kid says almost breathlessly. "Right now, I couldn't even carry her." He gestures to Artemis with his thumb.
Artemis pushes it away with a scoff, looking at Miss M. "Why not just levitate him back?"
Miss M sets the unconscious Aqualad back down. "I can't, we have to find Legend and Superboy." She says, standing up, facing down Artemis. "Six months ago, they didn't exist, just animalistic impulse's, I'm the only one who can help them."
"those two are indestructible, just ask those tanks." Kid points out. "It's Aqualad who needs your help, like now."
M'gann clutches her head as images of Superboy and Legend being strapped down and electrocuted surfaces.
"No!" "They're in pain." She shouts. She then took off with nothing else on her mind. "Miss M, wait!" Artemis yells after the Martian.
"We still don't know what erased our memories!" Robin calls after her. "It could happen again!"
Miss Martian flies off, ignoring the others. Though she does turn on her camouflage herself before she reaches the crest of the hill that is the last thing she remembers. Barely even slowing down she flies to the door flaps of the tent.
Pulling the right flap open slightly she can hear some whirs and buzzing, seeing the source to be the sphere that is now spinning. She hears some grunting that takes her attention, seeing Superboy and Legend being electrocuted.
The scientists who were standing before the clones continued to take down notes, his eyes went wide as he noticed the small ripples from M'gann's camouflaged form. She reaches down and pulls him forward, going behind the second scientist's shoulder and using her telekinesis to push him away from the control panel, and turning off the power.
"Well, someone's certainly a glutton for punishment." Psimon chuckles. He pulls his hood down, revealing his clear skull that showed off his brain. "Psimon says… forget."
Miss Martian groans as the whiteness suddenly become a hodgepodge scenery. Miss M looks around taking in the different parts of Mount Justice that are all strewn about.
"That's it." Psimon's voice comes from a white flare off to Miss Martian's left. "Forget like before." He lets a small chuckle through as Miss M turned away from the flare.
"Before…" Miss Martian thinks. Miss M pulls open the tent flap. "I'm in."
"Good, but tread carefully. Camouflage is not invisible." Aqualad's voice comes through the telepathic link.
Miss M sees the scientists grouped around the sphere as electricity sparks and the machine whirs. "They're testing something, but it's alive. Its in pain." She realizes, horrified. "Hello? Can you hear me?"
"I can." Psimon chuckles darkly, causing Miss M's attention to try and find its source. "And an open mind is a dangerous thing."
"Someone's hacked into our link!" Miss M shouts to the Team just as her eyes settle on Psimon.
"Psimon can't see you." The madman still sounds smug. "Psimon can't touch you." He pulls down his hood. "But Psimon can make you all… FORGET!" As his eyes meet Miss Martian's.
The Team hears a loud ringing noise, causing all of them to clutch their heads and scream, they then all wander off in separate directions. Superboy and Legend who both jump high with a yell.
Miss Martian looks around, coming to her senses, but still confused. Watching as the whiteness covers Mount Justice. She then realize what's happening. "No." she turns, sending out mental waves that cause the whiteness to retreat. "I won't let it happen again."
The whiteness fully retreats becoming a large image of Psimon's head. "Not really your call little girl." The image's mouth doesn't move but his voice is still heard.
There's a black and red light that hits Miss M head-on. Causing her to yell out in pain as she crashes to the ground.
Miss M struggles to keep her shield up against Psimon's seemingly relentless attack. "You have potential, but you're too raw, too untrained." He taunts as his energy beam stops, though Miss Martian leaves her barrier up. The giant head opens its mouth to reveal Psimon's actual form. "And not at all in my league." He emphasizes it with a brutal hit that completely destroys her shield.
In the tent, Miss Martian is still camouflaged and Psimon's form remains completely frozen. Superboy and Legend remains unconscious. The lab techs were looking for him, one being so bold as to step before Psimon's form and wave a hand before him. "Uh, Mr. Psimon are you alright?" He asked.
Something shifts in Miss Martian as the unseen battle rages on, and everything in the tent starts to levitate. The scientists look around stunned, in their surprise they miss seeing Legend and Superboy slowly regain consciousness.
They look around confused, but as Superboy looks to his right, he sees a slight dissonance and some of the items floating. His and Legend's vision shifts to infrared, revealing Miss M's form to them, they both follow her line of sight- as best they can and see three forms. The two's vision returns to normal, and he sees only one person facing Miss M, Psimon. They both growl at the sight, their heart rates increase.
The sphere beside them begins to hum, surprising the scientists enough for them to instinctually jump back. It continues to move faster until the clamps that we're holding it down finally broke.
The scientists dodge the sphere as best they can. It crashes directly into the control panel.
As soon as Superboy and Legend feel their restraints loosen they broke free and jumped at Psimon. Legend nearly made contact with the man's head, but instead he hit a red and black barrier mere centimeters short of his target.
The backlash sends him crashing into Superboy, sending them both sliding through the sand. Even though she's not visible they can see the distortions that Miss M's camouflage were making. Superboy reaches one hand out to her, slowly.
In an instant, both of the clones were standing, or rather floating beside Miss Martian. She looks at them stunned but relieved. "You're here!"
Psimon laughs at her. "You sound so relieved. Are those mindless creatures supposed to save your mind?" he questions.
Miss M grabs both boys heads instantly, much to the pairs confusion, but brings her forehead to theirs. "No, I'm saving theirs."
A G-gnome sits on a table, there was someone else who was standing just out of sight, its horns then start to glow red. The G-gnomes over Superboy's and Legend's heads in their pods. The G-gnomes hones glow brighter just as the two clones eyes snap open. "We are trying to help you." Aqualad's voice speaks in Superboy, and Robin for Legend.
In the warehouse of Happy Harbor, Miss M, Aqualad, and Superboy charge past Robin. "You did alright." Superboy tells Miss M as she blushes and looks away. "You don't have to try so hard, you are a part of the team." Legend adds in with a grin, Miss M smiles back at him.
Dr. Desmond turns his head. Blockbuster stands tall, raising his arms. Amazo's head turns from an unnatural position back to normal.
"Get on board or get out of the way." Superboy and Legend both stand in their ripped suits, backed by the moon. Them, Aqualad, Kid Flash, and Robin all stand defiantly before the Justice League.
"Hey, Superboy, Legend, come meet Miss Martian." Robin calls out, catching their attention. Miss Martian smiles as she looks to them.
"So sorry, should've paid more attention." Miss M murmurs. "It was too much at once, too mu-" she says as she attempts to wipe all the ingredients off of Superboy while Legend walks off. "Hello, Megan." She slows down as she reaches near his face again. "that's so me, I…" her hand stops right on his cheek, both of them making eye contact. Miss M looks Into Superboy's eyes as she releases her hold on him.
He and Legend stand strong on their own, then smiles at her. "Kick his psychic butt." They say together, the smirk on Superboy's face is clear in his tone, Legend's smile was contagious.
"By all means." Psimon taunts as Superboy and Legend disappear and she gives him her full attention. "Go on then, kick my psychic butt."
As the clones find themselves in the tent, they instantly turn to see Bialyan soldiers entering. Behind them, the sphere is following. Just as they enter the tent, the sphere hits them into the side. The sphere then beeps at the clones who share a look.
They look back to the sphere and raise an eyebrow. "Uhh, thanks." Superboy mutters, unsure what it said or if it can even understand him.
One soldier charges in, shooting at the sphere. As he chases it away from the door, four more enter. The clones glances back at Miss M before charging at the soldiers with a battle cry.
Meanwhile, the two telepaths haven't moved an inch despite their fight.
Superboy charges in with an elbow that knocks one Bialyan soldier back, more already unconscious. Before he turns his sights on the last few as Legend knocked them out with a double chock slam.
They look back at the two telepaths as a tornado huts the camp, sweeping up everyone and everything, even the tent.
They jump through the winds, landing in the center. Seeing that the two still haven't moved. Legend reaches out for Miss Martian's hand. "M'gann!" Legend calls out just as he holds tight. Superboy then grabbed Legend's other hand and they both re-entered Miss M's mind.
Miss M looks at them, shocked to see them in her mind once more. They were all trapped in a bubble and Psimon's mind laser won't let up.
"He's too strong." Miss Martian said strained while keep the barrier up. "You're strong, and we're stubborn. We can do it together!" Superboy says, lifting their clasped hands to prove his point. Miss M then did the same with Legend with her other hand.
"Together." She agrees, all of them turn their attention to Psimon. Just as everything around them goes white. Psimon looked stunned. "Get… out of… my… HEAD!" Miss M shouts. Her, Legend's, and Superboy's combined power is enough to shoot straight through his laser and take him out.
Something inside the man shatters as he screams out in agony. In the real world, he stumbles, getting caught in the winds that sweep him up instantly. The wind lifts up the entire tent and blows it away.
Miss M's eyes lose their green glow before her and Superboy's goes limp as they both fall into Legend's arms.
He looks around, watching as the tornado explodes and everything begins to fall back down. Legend looks down at Superboy and Miss M, watching as they both slowly come to. All three smile until they hear a machine whirring.
The sphere stops them, beeping. Superboy looks between Miss Martian and Legend, smiling. "Can I keep it?" He asked his teammates. "Only if it's housebroken." Legend says jokingly, making them all laugh.
Quarac; September 5th; 2:32 EST
Aqualad has an IV attacked to him as he lays down in the Bioship. Artemis comes over to bring a wet cloth to his head.
"Hey everybody, I've got Legend and Superboy." Miss Martian's voice calls out of the link.
Artemis stops what she's doing and looks around while Wally looks up utterly stunned.
She flies low to the desert, holding both Superboy and Legend beside her. "They're back to normal and we're on our way."
Aqualad jolts up, panting, looking to Artemis with wide eyes. "Who are you? Where am I?" He questions, though not putting up much of a fight as Artemis pushes his shoulders back down. "And how did you get inside my head?"
"Hello, Megan." The Martian continues, bumping her head. "Aqualad's memories. I knew I forgot something."
"Aw man, me too." Wally grumbles. "I didn't get a souvenir for the mission." Completely ignoring how Artemis and Kaldur turn to look at him in varying levels of annoyance on Artemis part and Confusion and Aqualad's.
"Don't worry, got the souvenir thing covered." Miss Martian assures. Looking down as the Sphere follows the three of them back.
Psimon stands before the Light. "The Martian girl escaped with the Sphere and both of the clones." He informs them.
"That hardly matters." A woman's voice assures. "What matters is the successful test of our new partner's delivery system."
The screen behind Psimon comes to life, showing a Boomtube opening up and the Sphere coming through.
"More tech will come, tech that will put the sphere, and perhaps even Superboy and Legend, to shame." She continues. Psimon smiles.
