He feels like he did that day he was planning on telling all the Titans about what he and Tim had found about his DNA. Not that he'd ever gotten the chance to tell them because their world's Lex Luthor chose then to strike, to download a trojan onto his laptop so he could play a dog whistle to get Kon's attention, and then say the "magic words."

Aut vincere aut mori.

Conquer or die.

Because that's what he was there for, to be Luthor's tool, or he was of no use to him, as far as Luthor was concerned.

Bart has, of course, beaten him to the Statuary, especially since he has to walk everywhere, right now.

"Hey."

Man, he is not looking forward to this. And he still has to tell Slobo the deal, too, but Bart's enough to handle at one time.

Podpops get crazy.

Cassie has yet to find a real good excuse to not go, especially when people she knows could show up. Besides not being the biggest social butterfly, she has yet to figure out what her role on this ship is, and welcoming new people just doesn’t seem to be her place right now.

She isn’t really Wonder Girl, right now. She isn’t a tech genius, or an experienced medic, or a leader, or anything. At best she’s got some training and a lasso, and with all these people, what can she do with that?

Needless to say, thinking about it leads to a bit of a down moment... until, of course, a certain someone crosses her path.

Right, so they'd found out the deal from that...really weird stuttery kid. Blah blah sentient spaceship blah blah abducted from different worlds, and then the important part: No aliens. That made the whole...superheroing, defeating them, and getting home thing a lot harder. (And Kon, in particular, REALLY needed to get home. Actually, so did Bart. World-saving things had been going on).

In the meantime, there were other people here, and it'd be good to meet them. So Superboy, Impulse, and Robin were in Obs Deck, mingling with the other people there and whatnot.

Come on, come all, and get one, two, or all three while they're hot. (Which was always, in Kon's case, as far as he was concerned).

"Any other superheroes up in this ugly mother--" Wait, that AI thingy might get pissed off. "--ship? Mothership?" he called out as soon as they entered.

"Let's go."

Tim tightened his fingers around his staff as they approached the weird invisible elevator again, ready to extend it to full length if he needed to. He wasn't sure what to expect in this place, but he didn't want to appear threatening until he had to. Like when they got to a point where they could demand to be sent home. Bart and Kon both had to save the world, and as for him... well... he was in Gotham for a few days helping Batman, and Batman never reacted well to MIA Robins.

They started going up again and Tim looked out over... a city. What the hell kind of crazy city was this? It wasn't like anything he'd ever seen on Earth, which meant they were probably a long way away from home.

Hn. Well, they'd just have to find a way to get back.

||Pod Release Protocols Initating,|| Stacy's familiar voice sounded out to all the podmates.

In the Pod Caverns, there were the sounds of: Pop. Pop pop pop. Poppuhpoppoppop. KASCHUNKhiiiiiiiissssss.

There was condensation and mist spraying out from cracks in the pods, as the people inside slid out onto the floors, covered in slime.

Pop. Poppop. KASCHUNKhiiiiiissss.
