Ghostly Justice

Chapter 31: Youngblood's 'Friend' Klarion

A/N: This picture is dedicated to my friend Cameron, who says he's reading my story but hasn't read past the prologue.

"Superboy?... Superboy!? Can you hear me!?" Miss Martian tried in vain to reestablish a connection to the boy of steel.

The bio-ship fully came back online just as they started losing momentum. Miss Martian was quick to right before setting it to autopilot. "Where did they take Superboy?"

Robin glared out the window where the portal had just been. It looked a lot like the portal the Fenton's had in their basement. "We need to go to Fenton Works. That portal was a lot like the one we saw in their videos."

Artemis glanced at Wally for a brief moment. "Are we sure it will work? No one's checked on it in three years, it could be dangerous."

"When has something dangerous stopped us before?"

"You've got me there. Miss M how far away are we from Amity Park?"

"About another hour or so. It would be sooner if she wasn't still recovering."

"Well then let's go get Superboy back!" Everyone cheered as Miss M got back on the controls and urged the bioship to fly faster.

The team got to Amity Park faster than they thought they would. They flew over the town searching for the Fenton Works building  but it was harder than they thought.

The bioship was nearing a brick building when Zatanna told them to stop. "Robin can you pull up a picture of the Fenton Works building and aim the projection at that window?" She pointed at the window closest to Artemis.

He did just that. "They line up perfectly. So then why does the building look so different from the picture? Its only from three years ago."

"Miss M can you take us a little closer? I can sense some kind of illusion magic." The bioship got closer to the brick building. "Whoever put this up didn't want certain outsiders to get in." They all had a good idea of who the outsiders were. "We should land in the backyard and try to find a way in."

The teens all gathered around the back door. Kid Flash swatted at a huge spider that tried to crawl onto his shoulder from the tall grass. "Can someone open the door before more than just bugs show up."

"Calm down Kid Mouth. A couple bugs never hurt anyone. Robin can you pick the lock?"

"Sure, let me make sure its not already unlocked first."

"Like someone would be stupid enough to-" Kid Flash gapped as his best friend simply opened the back door and walked inside. Everyone walked past him and into the abandoned house. He finally snapped out of it when the same spider from before climbed onto his other shoulder. "Don't leave me out here!"

The inside of Fenton Works looked even more abandoned then the outside. A thick layer of dust covered every surface. "Someone's been through here recently." Robin was in the living room examining the footprints made in the dust leading back to the kitchen before stopping. He pressed a button on his mask and looked around the room. "There's a hidden elevator in the kitchen leading to something that's currently missing. There are two more elevators leading to it located in the master bedroom and a door on the roof." He looked down. "The portal's located in the basement."
