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

Ax had escaped the Controllers on board. Brainy had not been so lucky. Neither had Sam and Tim. And who knew how many others on board had Yeerks wrapped around their brains, controlling their every movement, pretending that everything was normal until the time came to strike.

Who do you trust, podlings?

... 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.

[identity profile] the-cute-speedy.livejournal.com 2009-02-22 03:54 am (UTC)(link)
"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.

[identity profile] beyondgotham.livejournal.com 2009-02-22 04:20 am (UTC)(link)
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.

[identity profile] the-cute-speedy.livejournal.com 2009-02-22 05:38 am (UTC)(link)
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.
mrsarcastic003: (Bwah Tim)

[personal profile] mrsarcastic003 2009-02-22 07:40 am (UTC)(link)
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.

[identity profile] el-escarabajo.livejournal.com 2009-02-22 07:50 am (UTC)(link)
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."

[identity profile] el-escarabajo.livejournal.com 2009-02-22 08:55 am (UTC)(link)
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.

Tim nods in satisfaction, and turns toward the only remaining threat--Terry. He's not going to need the Dracon beam for this. He returns it to his belt.

It's a lot more fun to use this body the way it was meant to be used--the way Tim has trained himself to use it.

[identity profile] beyondgotham.livejournal.com 2009-02-22 04:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Terry stared at Tim, trying to convince himself that whatever was happening wasn't real. There was no way Tim could be like this. This wasn't supposed to happen yet. For years.

Scorpius had been right. There were more important things then Sam. He carefully set him down on the ground, being sure not to turn his back to the boy wonder.

"Tim..." he spoke quietly, the slightest bit of fear creeping into his voice, "what have you done to him?"
mrsarcastic003: (Smart Tim)

[personal profile] mrsarcastic003 2009-02-22 07:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Tim gives Terry a sharp smile and takes up his staff again. "You're supposed to be Batman, Terry. The world's greatest detective," he taunts. "Figure it out."

[identity profile] beyondgotham.livejournal.com 2009-02-23 12:09 am (UTC)(link)
Terry glanced down at Sam, at his head. "The slugs. The one he was trying to force into Nathan's head, and the ones that came from his brain. There's one in Tim, isn't there? That's who I'm talking to right now, isn't it?"
mrsarcastic003: (Thinking Tim)

[personal profile] mrsarcastic003 2009-02-23 01:52 am (UTC)(link)
Tim gave him his best, brightest smile. "Give the kid a cookie," he said, his tone still slightly mocking. "You got it on the first guess. Of course, it might have been more useful if you could have warned him." He nodded at where Jaime was still smoking on the ground. "Oh, well."
