Bialya; September 4th, 00:16 EEST

Miss Martian decamoflagues, in the pale moonlight of the desert. However, she's alone. She groans as she pushes herself into a sitting position.

Miss M: Kyatchaa s'lamoth... (Ohh, my head)

She looks up.

Miss M: K'azzarr M'gann? N'da M'arzz. (Where am I? This can't be Mars.)

She looks to the sky.

Miss M: Ah'lunzz? (One moon?)

Then sifts sand through her fingers.

Miss M: Sesess perakazz? Hw'asheta! (White sand? Oxygen!)

She bumps her head lightly with her hand.

Miss M: "Hello, Megan. I'm on Earth."

She walks down a slope.

Miss M: "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 rolls downhill.

Miss M: "Is this a dream?"

A figure lands harshly, creating a flurry of dust and sand. As it clears Superboy is the source, though his stance is feral as he looks at Megan without any recognition. M'gann's eyes go from his face to the red S on his black t-shirt.

Miss M: "Wait, I've seen that symbol. Are you Superman?"

With a wordless cry, Superboy stands tall, ripping his shirt apart. M'gann only has time to gasp before he charges at her. He lands on all fours mere moments after M'gann managed to move.

Seeing that she is only a few feet away, he jumps at her again, this time with a punch. She takes to the air, giving herself an advantage over the rampaging maniac. He jumps at her, but instead of dodging she brings her hands together.Creating a telepathic wall.

Though with the power behind his jump it knocks both of them to the ground. He gets his bearings faster than she does, but instead of attacking her, he uses the time to get away.

Miss M: "Not a dream."

She thinks to herself, hugging herself tightly.

Miss M: "A nightmare."

============================================================

We open to Robin walking 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.

Robin: "Those are Bialyan Republic Army uniforms."

He starts his HoloGlove.

Robin: "But what are Bialyans doing in-"

His thought process breaks as he looks at his location on the map.

Robin: "Uh, Bialya? okay, better question: what am I doing in Bialya-"
