End of An Adventure

Knowing they were getting close Miss Martian called out "Team, we are about to the area the directions indicated."

Keeping Bio-ship in camouflage mode the team starts to look around for anything of note.

Soldier Girl calls out, "I got a dust cloud at the ships 9:00 direction, its staying in one place so it is not a natural occurrence."

"We are not supposed to be here, so we need to grab our guy and get out of there without causing a international incident. If there are mutants or enhanced it shouldn't blow back on us but if it's just soldiers, then we have to act without being seen." Miss Martian said.

As they approached closer, they were able to make out specific figures and Bioship started tagging them in her monitors.

Stating the obvious, Kid Flash comments "Looks like 3 dozen basic soldiers, Shimmer and her brother Mammoth along with Rhino. That is a weird combination."

Miss Martian questioned, "Anyone see who they are after? He didn't leave a description but made it sound as though we would recognize him." In her worry she forgets they had all listened to the same message.

Wonder Girl points out, "There are soldiers being pulled into the ground and left with just their heads showing, is the culprit perhaps who we are here for?"

Kid Flash calls out, "Look at Shimmer, something has her!"

Miss Martian, Wonder Girl and Soldier Girl all shudder as the tentacles wrap up the villainess with one tentacle waving just in front of her face. Then she too is left with just her head above ground.

Putting her head back into the fight, Soldier Girl calls out, "If our guy is underground, he is about to get a headache."

Just as she says this, Rhino jumps and coming down he slams both hands on the ground creating a crater and sending dust all around.

They see giant worm like creature erupt from the ground and then turn into a green teenager who continued to roll around holding his head in his hands. Luckily the dust from the slam to the ground gave him enough time to collect himself.

Hearing him shout at Rhino, Diana says, "It looks like his request for garments were not in jest." Turning her head so no one would see her slight blush.

Everyone was a bit amazed when the green teen changed into a green Rhino and slammed into Rhino who got the worst of the collision.

Looking at Miss Martian Solder Girl asks, "Are we going to help or not, he will not last long with that many soldiers with rifles. He is fine now but Rhino skin isn't tank armor!"

Shaking away the surprise of seeing a Teenage Gar, using his powers to boot, Miss Martian says "With confirmed enhance we can engage but not apprehend. We are still outside our jurisdiction."

"Kid Flash and Soldier Girl neutralize the soldiers, when you are done join Wonder Girl and I as we assist Gar."

Meanwhile Gar is struggling to find Rhino and just keeps moving so as to not provide a stationary target.

Running through his head for creatures that could be helpful he thinks of a Stegosaurus and its wicked tail, but he can't remember if it was decently armored.

Big animals with heavy enough armor to ward off rifle fire are just few in number and all the ones that are fast enough to get him out of here wouldn't last with this many people shooting at it.

Feeling a gentle nudge to his mind he opened a small hole in his mental defenses ready to slam it shut and says {M'gann, is that you?} The surge of young Gar's memories influences his tone.

{I'm here with my team to help, but I have so many questions for you.}

{I know blood sis, but we should invite your uncle before we get too deep into it. This will concern him and Garfield Logan just as much. Though I think we should discuss what all to tell Gar before talking to him.}

With this conversation taking place in milliseconds, I continue. {I have telepathic abilities but little control over them so it's best not link me with the team, but could you tell me where the fake Rino is? I really want to fold another truck in half with him.}

Waiting on Miss Martians directions I notice a yellow and red streak taking weapon's away from the soldiers and gently pushing them down so as to not hurt them. He then throws each weapon at a girl with Wolverine's claws?? No that doesn't look right its only 2 blades and it looks like she is wearing a captain America outfit? So, confused.

Using her claws, the weapons are demolished in no time. So, less bullets coming my way. YAY!!

{Rhino is jumping towards you, turn right then run all out and build up all the momentum you can. We will serve him up to you.}

Turning her attention to the team she tells Wonder Girl. {When Rhino lands I need you to distract him for a few seconds so I can toss him in front of the charging Rino using my telekinesis.}

When Gar turns from under the jumping Rino, the super villain stumbles a little not meeting the expected resistance.

Regaining his balance, he is surprised to see a young girl standing in front of him with her arm cranked back as if waiting to deliver a punch.

Laughing at her he begins to say, "Take your bes...." and that is all he can say with her arm elbow deep in his stomach and no breath left in his body.

Seeing the direction the green Rhino is running, she then grabs the villain in front of her by the leg then quickly spins her body 3 times and lets the gray figure go in perfect line to land about 15 feet in front of the charging green Rhino.

Not wanting to be outdone Miss Martian grabs Mammoth and throws him in the path the Rhino will fly after impact with the green Rhino which just happens to line up perfectly with another truck.

Once Gar feels the impact he looks up and sees Rhino collect Mammoth and then they crash into another truck, resulting in a fiery explosion that hopefully puts them down for a while.

Suddenly Gar's legs give out on him, and he is left breathing heavily and feeling very tired and hungry.

Addressing M'gann in his mind he asks {Did you remember to bring clothes for me? I hope so because I really don't want to get marked by three beautiful girls as a pervert, but I won't be able to hold this form for much longer.}

At Miss Martian's request Kid Flash pulls out the shorts he brought and hangs them on the horn of the green Rhino as it stumbles behind a truck.

Walking out from behind the truck is a very tired looking teenage Gar in shorts.

I tell them, "Thank you for the help, I don't know how much longer I could have held them off. We should probably get out of here but first I need some restraints for myself."

"Also, I believe I have a tracker somewhere on me that can stay with me even when shifting shapes."

Miss Martian responds after some thought, "So long as you don't close your mind off the restraints are unnecessary and as far as the tracker, Bio-ship will block any signals until we are able to find a more permanent solution."

Calling Bio-ship over to pick them up Gar is happy to have this adventure over but hopes this new one works out.

In a slightly embarrassed voice Gar asked M'gann if there was any food available because he hadn't had any sustenance since leaving the pod he woke up in.

Kid Flash offered him one of his special power bars packed with more calories than most people eat in a full day, it just has no taste.

After eating, Gar just moves to a corner of the ship and goes to sleep too tired to care that he is curled up on the floor in the presence of people he has never seen before.

Unknow to him Morph comes out and keeps an eye on these new people ready to wake Gar if needed.

M'gann keeps part of her mind focused enough to hear if the Teen Gar has any strong thoughts and calls Vision and Robin.

Surprisingly both picked up, she thought it would just be Vision. Quickly she reported the mission as complete and gave the details.

"Despite a couple small issues M'gann I think it was a mission well done." Robin provided his view

Miss Martian disagreed with him, "My lack of knowledge about significant powers my team held made this a barely passing grade in my book. I still have issues thinking things through in a tight situation Robin. I just believe it's too early to run my own team."

"Setting that aside for now, what do I do with my passenger? He requested I have Uncle J'onn meet him as it has to do with his identity, and I can't make sense of what I feel from him mentally."

"Physically he looks just like i imagine a teenage Garfield Logan will look, but his actions and mannerisms are of someone much older."

"It was subconscious I think, but no action other than offering himself to be restrained and volunteering information about the tracker would have made the team more accepting of him. I also get the feeling that he knows me and Kid Flash."

"Even now he is asleep on the floor, and he just happened to pick a place where everyone has clear sight of him while he is at his most vulnerable."

Abruptly on Robins screen a figure appeared, wearing a dark red cowl with horn like protrusions and white eyes covering the upper half of a sun-tanned face, "Come to the Watchtower, dock 3 I will contact Manhunter and tell him what we know so far."

"Remember Miss Martian, no one who tries so hard to look humble and harmless is ever what they appear to be." With those parting words Devilbat shut off the transmission.
