Chapter 28: Lament – Calling all Angels
/
Bruce had left him in this piteous a position. People needed their leader, and yet who was he but a father who had again abandoned his principles? He hasn't even hugged them, called them his family. The Justice League, Bruce.
In the world as the temperature began to dip down lower, he cursed it. He wanted to get out yet the bed he'd carved out of martyrdom, that was set up just fir him.
M'ari, Kori….
His own father had ruined things, as Dick got up to check the chill in his sanctuary. To see if Tim had packed up yet or had found a way with some other scientists to reverse this cursed affair.
Bruce.
Dick gritted his fists and walked uneven steps to the door of the cave, so cold. The generator good fir maybe four years as long as nothing damaged it externally. Bruce had prepared for even vampires before, against alien life taking hold of their planet.
Speaking, the resonating in his ears dimmed before, now it was a ringing he could not cease to find.
He dragged himself in his coat and warrior winter clothing to the hatch as it opened with a clack. Those lights were calling him up. To negotiate, to be saved.

M'ari was new to seeing her mother's family despite being half of both worlds to them. To her, she was not the same at all. Starbucks were not blue, they had told her. Her eyes were the wrong color, and yet Uncle Galfore's family defended the princess at all times. She was just a guest, nit for the crown.
"Your uncle Wildfire still sits on this throne." Her mother smiled at the other, her dear brother as he blushed with two daughters zipping round and a lovely soulmate queen just allowing them to get to know their nervous cousin. "M'ari? Why do you not fly? It is a joyous occasion!"
"Dad, isn't going to come here. Is he, mama?"
The room fell quiet, as M'ari's question never held reason to be discarded. Finally, her mother spoke. "Your father knows of the source if their frozen planet, and Tamaran has agreed to assist in harnessing a device to thaw it.." She nodded to Wildfire as he expanded a bit cleaer. "You are very bright, M'ari. Your mother is as you, yet she knows and hopes. You must do the same while your Gnorfkhana and I work together. I want to see you happy as well. We are your dear family, so we won't ever abandon you. Alright?"
They were warm, sometimes louder than need be, yet so kind. Too kind as she took her time to be alone anyway. M'ari wondered if one day, one day, she could steal a rocket and find him. She was young, yet her power each day as she allowed her hope to grow, grew with her.
With that powerful transformation, came the rise of her reason; her very reason , to find her father and salvage what was left of her family back on earth.

Dick hosted and catered to the species that had one time in their lifetime, given mere cave dwellers new reasons to find meaning in what they strove to do.
~ We arrived, rather. Our ancestors dell into this ship and could not leave without precious minerals mined by your mortal hands.~
"Was this always the outcome of us?" Dick asked the head alien who apologetically looked right through the man. ~ Never, whatever this is, it cannot be stopped. Fret not. We are to be as hospitable as then, if not fairer. We come with the knowledge of a thousand eons or so – build a new sun, it shall be powerless without the heart of the willing. ~
"Willing…" Tim rubbed his arms as Dick added, "Is that another solution, ally?"
~ There will be those with solar energy ready to power the device. They will come. In the course of, four years time.~
"The generator…" Tim turned to his brother, the other members knowing it too. "Pardon me, but our generators, they only hold enough power for that many. We'd need a new set or a boost. It's…."
~ No fear please, we shall assist as it was written long ago. In thanks, this us what we might do fir the human race. Our ancestors were all but wiped out, yet our revival brings a karmic balance. And so, there will be new devices to set the years you'll need. ~
Dick smiled, using the signs he knew to thank the leader of the alien race that had immorality cultivated humanity. They were doing the right thing, yet again without whips and gold to mine.
"Thank you." Richard smiled as the alien leader did so in telepathic communication. ~ You are a brave heart for finding us when you did. The earth however, must change for I feat their careless venture led to the shift in polar conditions.~
"Under my watch, yes. And it never will come to this again. We have reason to do what is right by the planet. By every inhabitant."
~ This is good, very good.~ The alien nodded abd a few soldiers and officials brought out hand held devices to click onto the generators. ~ These tools shall allow the estimated years or adjusted, extra, for what it will take to have the people of such a planet come home to here. To the effects that the solar collector is done? ~
"Almost." Dick nodded. "We have only a few more days to end this sun free month. I want to see my family again more than anything."
~You are truly good, sir. From what we now know, humanity could learn from this example. ~ Smiled the leader. ~ May the planets shine bright on Earth's recovery. We will be no farther than a distance star system. The other tool I hand is a beacon. Should all hope gail, we shall assist unlike our ancestors and do all in our power to preserve your planet. It is our sin to have stolen the rights of a world. We are now to peace and peace be, this, we have thrived well. ~
"I couldn't agree more. We'll be aligned like the galaxy maybe wants. Alright, there is only stepping forwards." Dick allowed the leader and its ship to depart into the front nipped sky. The devices were set. They had an extended time. They had, enough, to finish building a solar cradle, while Starfire waited on her cue.

Short, but tells what happened in that after. Still waking up. Since 5am. Ugh. Never sleep in the heat, ain't my cuppa tea. Find out – and I used the gene splicing aliens or Anunnaki idea and their descendants helping human kind instead of taking over. However, others may come to plunder. You'll see.
