"Decryption completed. Translation completed," the computer voices, as Nightwing and Silk attempt to translate newfound Krolotean information.

"Is that the Krolotean intel?" Robin asks the pair.

"What Krolotean intel?" Beast Boy wonders.

"The data files M'gann and J'onn recovered on Malina Island before it was destroyed," Silk answers the green boy, placing both hands on her hips.

"Ah. Noted," Beast Boy replies.

"Apparently, the Kroloteans were snatching humans to use as guinea pigs. They were hoping to find something. Something inside us," Nightwing speaks.

"What?" Robin asks curiously.

"There's no English word for it. The nearest translation is Meta-Gene," Nightwing responds.

"What's a Meta-Gene?" Robin inquires.

"Never met a Gene I didn't like," Beast Boy jokes with a joyful grin, playfully elbowing Robin in the arm.

"Warning unknown energy impulse detected," the computer declares.

Suddenly, a ball of energy enters the Cave. Nightwing and Silk stand protectively in front of the two young heroes, and Nightwing places an arm out in front of them. Then, a piece of machinery lands on the ground with a loud thud. The door of the device opens, revealing smoke billowing out of it.

"Stand ready," Silk orders, ready to shoot her webs at the unsuspecting visitor. Nightwing pulls out his eskrima sticks beside her, Robin takes out his staff, and Beast Boy gets into a defensive position.

"Ta-da!" A speedster with auburn hair exits the time machine with a grin, placing both arms up into the air cheerfully. He wears a white bodysuit, with a red line in the middle of it, accompanied by a yellow visor with a red rim. He also adorns red gloves and boots. Silk and Nightwing narrow their eyes at the boy while Robin and Beast Boy look at the speedster in surprise.

"Intruder alert. Intruder alert," the computer announces.

"Computer, lockdown Cave," Nightwing commands.

"Well, I think we found our unknown energy impulse," Beast Boy mentions.

"Impulse? That's so crash. Catchy. Dramatic. One word. Like Nightwing, Silk, Robin, and Beast Boy," he runs toward the group with his super-speed, slightly startling them.

"Except that's two words. Blue Beetle's two words. Hey, is he here too? Nevermind. Impulse can find that out for himself. Ha-ha-ha!" Impulse exclaims with glee, running through the Cave.

"Robin, Beast Boy, take him down!" Silk commands, narrowing her eyes at where the speedster was last. The two young boys nod, beginning to chase the speedster, Beast Boy transforming into a leopard.
