The White Wraith 2

Chapter 9: Gone Wrong

Superboy had a hard time not thinking about Kaldur recently. The hero turned villian who stormed Mount Justice and captured three of his friends.

They were lucky that Nightwing was able to find a shipment of people who were being taken by Tigress to the Light's mystery partner.

Superboy looked around the ship he had snuck aboard, slightly annoyed at how uncomfortable the suit he had to wear was. It was a suit stolen from Black Manta's troops.

And the real troops were none the wiser to his deception as Superboy helped push the test subject cart through the ship.

"I found Gar, Bart, and Laura. They're unconscious, but alive." Miss. Martian announced through the mind link. "No sign of Jaime or Lagon."

"We've got eyes on Lagoon Boy and Shimmer. Plus four civilians and all the teens we came with." Batgirl told us. "We're unsupervised now, but Blue is still unaccounted for and escape could trigger response. Do we wait?"

"Negative, Alpha Squad." Nightwing answered. "Make your move before you need rescuing too. You too, Miss. M. Get our boys."

Not a moment later, alarms started going off and the other Black Manta troops around Superboy started looking around for the cause.

"Impulse!" Miss. Martian called out.

"Gotta find Blue!" He called back.

Superboy moved away from the other troops, toward Tigress, who stood in the doorway. She held out an arm to stop him.

"Hold your position, trooper." She ordered.

Superboy lunged forward and grabbed her arm, before throwing the criminal to the side. She crashed into a wall farther away and he turned toward the other troops.

They charged, but were no match for the Kryptonian. He quickly knocked them out.

"Docking bay secured." He announced.

"Nice timing, handsome." Bee told him as she flew forward, the test subjects and Lagoon Boy behind her.

Lagoon Boy stopped next to Superboy as they passed. The bioship connected to the alien ship and the doors opened.

"Wraith was on the ship a few hours ago and attempted to help us escape. We were caught. I haven't seen her since." He told him.

Superboy's eyes widened.

"We need to secure the civilians first. We'll look for Wraith and Blue after they're safe in the bioship." Nightwing ordered.

Superboy frowned, but nodded. Batgirl and Robin ran into the room, having taken down the alien soldiers that were chasing them. Miss. Martian and Beastboy weren't back yet.

"Megan, where are you guys?" Superboy asked.

Then the link went down.

He looked at the others. "The link is down, I'm going in."

Before Superboy could get very far, Black Beetle suddenly appeared in the doorway and threw him back.

"Apologies, meat, but no one is going anywhere."

Wraith was this close to just attempting to blow up the entire Reach ship. Yeah, that's how frustrated she was.

Vandal Savage stepped through the doorway, his eyes on the pod that Wraith was currenly trapped in. Clear, tinted red, alien glass was in front of her face and neck, by Wraith's horribly shattered hands were hidden from sight.
