The Intruder

Deserted Memories

Miss Martian decamoflagues, in the pale moonlight of the desert. However, she's alone. She groans as she pushes herself into a sitting position, and attempts to telepathically communicate, "Kychass lamoth..." she looks up, "Ca zarr M'gann? Madam m'ars?" She looks to the sky. "Alunz?" Then sifts sand through her fingers, "Sesess percass? Wa sh'eta!"

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 rolls downhill, "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. "Wait, I've seen that symbol." she shifts so she's sitting on her feet. "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.

"Not a dream." She thinks to herself, hugging herself tightly, "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 starts his holo-glove. "But what are Bialyans doing in-" his thought process breaks as he looks 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 holo-screen. 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." Robin recalls a fragmented memory of his mentor's voice.

"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 shirt with the red S was clearly ripped off, that much the Boy Wonder can tell, but with nothing else, he scrutinizes the shirt.

Nico woke up in the desert with a groan, "Di immortales... where am I..." He glanced down to see his armor, "Why am I wearing my armor..." He looked around in annoyance, "How did I get here? There's no shadows large enough to shadow travel!" He huffed, "Looks like I'll have to wait until nightfall... in the meantime, I'll try to figure out where the team is... "

His eyes widened at his own words, "Team? What... team?" He racked his mind to realize he had snippets of memories that weren't there before, "Di Immortales!" He cursed, "I must be on a quest, and someone's wiped my memory!" He growled in frustration, "Best go looking for someone from camp..." 

He stood up, and began to search for anyone with an orange or purple shirt. He heard a truck, and hid behind a smaller sand dune. He peered around it and spotted mortal soldiers. He cringed, and pressed his back against the massive pile of sand, "Gods..." He muttered, "What did I do?

In a shack in another part of the desert, Kid Flash's voice can be heard. "Hey. Beautiful. Wake up."
