The Javelin heads towards a glittering city shining in the distance.

{I imagine Brainiac City looking like Neo Gotham from Batman Beyond. The picture above.}

Tatsu taps some buttons on the control panel and puts the aircraft into camouflage mode, turning it invisible.

"It may look pretty from the outside but inside it's a war zone." Tatsu comments.

"What can we expect?" Aaliyah asks.

"Drones. Lots and lots of drones." Tatsu answers.

"Are we going to take the stealthy approach?" Lucy asks.

"Yes, I don't want us to draw any attention to ourselves. So, stay close and watch each other's backs." Tatsu said.

Next, she lands the Javelin, and they all get out. Minutes later they are in an alleyway hiding from the Drone Walkers and Drone Flyers as they were patrolling the streets and skies.

"You weren't kidding about it being a war zone," Henry said.

Jonathan and the rest see a beaten-up billboard. It showed a picture of his parents kissing.

"Welcome to Metropolis. Home of Superman and Wonder Woman." Jonathan reads out loud. Memories of his parents start flooding in, and he starts to tear up. Lucy puts a comforting hand on his shoulder.

"Will you be okay?" She asks worriedly.

"Yeah, just give me a sec." He said and wipes his tears. Lucy looks at her sister.

"Give me a few minutes alone with him. We'll catch up when he's good and ready." She said.

Tatsu nods and hands her a communications device, an earpiece.

Terry walks up towards them and glances at Jonathan sitting with his knees up. He starts feeling guilty for treating his best friend like crap. It wasn't his fault and he needed to apologize to him soon.

Lucy hugs him tightly. "We'll be okay, Terry."

"I know. Just be careful. I don't wanna have to come back and rescue you too." He smiled. Lucy nods and smiles as well.

Tatsu gives the signal to the rest of the teens, and they head deeper into the city.

Lucy sits next to Jonathan and rubs his back, comforting him.

"I miss them so much." He sniffs.

"I know. But you have to stay strong, everything will be okay."

"And how do you know that?"

"My Mom is alive, and she isn't the only one."

He looks at her shocked.

"My sisters told me and Terry about our Mom still being alive. She and her team saved them from a surprise attack while they were on a mission."

"You said she wasn't the only one?" Jonathan asks.

Lucy looks hesitant to tell him the rest.
