trans_9 | The thing you should know is that everyone is in really big trouble. Yeah. Even you.

Someone is watching Danny fly. He can because Danny's only invisible--not phased. The goggles from the MedLab have varying levels of sensory perception--such as infra-red.

Gee, what is that cold spot zipping through the air at that speed?

An invisible wall suddenly pops up right in front of the invisible-except-on-infrared Danny.

Danny slams into the wall at full speed,getting KOed and dropping the Kryptonite in the process.

Tim jumps over the leg sweep, swinging his staff hard at Mia. He aims for the elbow, with enough force to crush bone.

He's using this body to the fullest extent of its abilities, and he's not pulling his punches.

His attention is caught, though, by the sound of something falling. Something... like a rock and a body. He's not going to waste his time on Mia anymore.

He dashes off in the direction of the sound, hpoing to find the lost piece of Kryptonite.

Waste his time? Oh slug did you back the wrong horse.

Mia barely manages to roll away from the staff, getting back to her feet and chasing Robin. Taking a page from Kate's book, she tackles him from behind, bringing her arms around in front to take educated stabs at his solar plexus, or at least the existing wound in his arm. Get the fingers in and squirm them.

Someone picked up the lead box, from where it fell from Danny's hand.

"My apologies. I thought you were a threat. I was mistaken."

Moments later, something slammed into both Mia and Tim, knocking them apart.

... and Brainiac 5 flew out of the shadows, holding the box.

"Don't concern yourself about the kryptonite," he says to Tim. "I'll handle the Kryptonians. The ectoplasmic hybrid has been...dispatched."

"Brainy?" The disbelief in the Kryptonian girl's voice was clear. And then steel set into her voice as her eyes turned bright red. She struggled to her feet and stalked over to him as best she could. "So, what? You too? Finally giving in to the Coluan way?" She launched herself at him. "I knew I shouldn't have trusted you!"

It hurts. Those words hurt, but there's something cold that takes over and does what needs to be done.

A forcefield wall slams into her, wraps around her and slams her back to the ground next to Kon--and also slams into Kon to hold him there as well.

"Carry on," he says to Tim, leaving him to the fight, as he goes over to the two of them.

He looks at Supergirl with his had tilted slightly, where she lay pinned on the floor, and a shield springs around him and the two Kryptonians.

"I am not someone to be trusted. This is true."

In a low toneless voice, he says:

"Scream, Kara."

...And with some slight of hand, the lead box is put in a pouch in his belt, and a little green diode light is produced.

From where Tim is, it looks as if the box has been opened again, and green light is spilling out, but the light is harmless to Kryptonians--harmless to everyone, really.

Relief flashed in Kara's eyes.

And then she screamed.

Very discreetly, he starts scanning them both and administering medical attention to the unconscious and poisoned Superboy.

Kara followed Brainy's orders, trusting him.

He hadn't betrayed her.

He hadn't turned on her.

He was still ~~her~~ Brainy.

Getting Sam to the Med Bay was slow-going. He was dead weight, and Terry didn't want to jostle him around too much, in fear that he might make things worse. But he was getting there.

Until he passed the Statuary. The fight had caught his eye from a distance, and as he got closer, he got more and more curious. Tim was involved - the one person Terry had a connection to, and he was involved in something that seemed pretty nasty. Not to mention a single glimpse Terry had gotten of his face sent horrible chills down his spine.

Tim nods in satisfaction as Brainy approaches Kon and Kara with the Kryptonite. He's in... a surprising amount of pain, actually. That last attack from Mia had been particularly vicious. Mostly he's fine--he just needs to catch his breath, and remember that flesh wounds really do heal and humans aren't as fragile as they seem.

He sees Terry approach and frowns a little. Mia and the Kryptonians may not let him get away with the ruse that he's normal, but he'd like Terry to come in a little farther. He gives him a slightly rueful, pained smile. "Hey," he says.

"Yo! Future-beefcake! He's evil right now! Stay back from him!" Mia calls to Terry, nocking another arrow.

Kate meanwhile was still struggling to crawl across the floor toward them to attack again. Can't afford to fail, not now.

At Mia's words, Terry froze. Sam didn't seem so important any more - he was focused on Tim. There was something about him... some look in his eyes. It was eerily familiar.

"Oh God, no," he whispered.

Tim shoots an annoyed look at Mia... who's aiming at him again. Perfect. He's going to have to be careful of her--and probably Terry, too, judging from the way he's looking at him. He grips his staff tightly.

At least Brainy is keeping Kon and Kara out of commission.

Mia lines up her shot. "Look, I don't care who or what you are, but from the desperation you've been showing, I'm pretty sure the stability of Robin's body is important to you, at least for the moment. You have any idea how much damage a human body can take without death or even permanent damage? I do. I've got at least six shots I can take on you that I'm 85% sure you can't stop without dropping the staff, and I'm 99.4% sure I can get off a second shot before you could pick it back up again."

She took a step forward, bowstring drawn. "And really, you never want to play the odds versus humans. We're funny like that."

Jaime, his suit cracked all over, and the gaps filled with some kinda of blue sealant that was helping heal his skin and repair the carapace of the suit over it, flew in from the other door to a rather confusing scene.

"Everyone. Freeze."

Because he doesn't know who's doing what.

Of course he knows how much punishment the human body can take--he's Robin, whatever else he may be, and Batman had spent a great deal of time making sure he knew his limits.

Tim whirls to face Jaime, a panicked look on his face. "Jaime," he says, sounding relieved to see him. "What the heck is going on?! Mia just went crazy--started shooting at me!"

And it's obvious that he's been injured--he's playing up the poor, hurt Robin card, holding his arm stiffly, and looking pained.

It looks like Mia has flipped on Robin, it looks like Brainy is hurting Superboy and Supergirl and Robin's trying to help them. It looks like Terry is helping a--oh God his head!--hurt Sam.

And Jaime knows how Robin fights. It's highly unlikely that he's been slugged up and taken over--he's a Bat after all. Mia's hardass, but not Bat-hardass.

Jaime reacts immediately, holding up his hand and zapping Mia with "population control," which has only just kicked back in again after repairs (it'd been damaged by the first shot of Paco's). It should temporarily stun her nervous system.

He also zaps Brainy, who collapses over the green light.

He makes a judgment call.

It's just the wrong one.

Mia spasms, her grip on the arrow releasing, it flying at Robin as she falls to the ground. "You SUCK...." She groans out at Jaime.

Tims eyes get wide and he dodges out of the way of the arrow. It's a lot easier when he can see it coming.

He gives Jaime a smile of relief. "Thanks, man," he says. "I don't know what got into her. She shot me." His eyes are still wide and shocked-looking when he reaches for his belt, and pulls out a complicated-looking device.

The details don't matter that much. It's a Dracon beam--and it's aimed at Jaime. The shocked, panicky look drops away, and he gives Jaime a faint smile. "Dude, you're such a sucker."

Crap, that's what Paco had! He only has time for his eyes to go wide and to pop up a blue energy shield--but it's not enough to disperse it.

The blast hits him square on, and breaks through the shield, shattering the armor more, chips of blue and black flying off, and sending him flying back through a statue.

And there he lays very still, skin still steaming.
