Avoiding Past And Future

(35) Humanity 2

Robin finally made it back to the Bioship, an invisible Danny floating behind him. Kid Flash, fully suited up outside of his cast, was waiting for him. Silently he watched Robin get on, eyeing the bag but thankfully saying nothing on it. Everybody got comfortable, well everybody except Danny as Bioship hadn't created an extra chair for him. He was pretty sure that meant she was keeping to the secret. He softly placed a hand on the side of the pathway he was hovering around, feeling a small tendril loop around his hand before disappearing.

While he figured it was pretty odd to be traveling inside another living being, it was equal parts cool too.

M'gann steered Bioship out of a different exit than they knew Captain Marvel was waiting at with Wolf. She announced they were entering camouflage mode, even though from the inside everything still looked the exact same. They had made it out quite some distance before Black Canary radioed in to ask what they were doing.

Clearly nobody had told M'gann to lie as the Martian immediately said they were kidnapping Zatanna. Luckily, after Kaldur sent her a look, she corrected herself to claim they were just showing her Happy Harbor. By some miracle, Canary bought the excuse.

"Where are we going?" Robin grumbled out loud. "Batman is the world's greatest detective and he's searched for Tornado and Morrow in every logical location." He kept musing. Danny felt a little bad. This whole Tornado thing seemed like a big deal and he couldn't help but blame himself for the delays. If he hadn't been such a bother to Dick, maybe he could have helped Batman with the detectiving and found the bad guys already.

"If we're gonna do better, we need an illogical solution." Slowly a grin formed on Robin's face as he turned to face Kid Flash, the rest of the team following suit. Totally oblivious to the mental struggle his brother was going through. "A, a truly dumb idea." He added just so his best friend would know he was talking about him.

Kid Flash took it all in stride however as he proudly puffed out his chest. "As a matter of fact. There is one person who might know where Morrow is."

"Wally just spit it out already." Artemis complained.

Wally pouted slightly but kept going. "Who else would have an interest as to where Morrow is other than his biggest rival."

"Ivo! But he's in Belle Rêve. There is no way we can just slide inside like last time." Robin stared out in front of him. He knew Danny was down the pathway somewhere. Maybe they should have thought about this a bit more before dragging him on a mission back to one of the top 3 places his brother would rather not go back to. Perhaps there was some other way they didn't think of, a way to get T. O. Morrow without paying the penitentiary a visit.

"Warden Strange does owe us a favor for stopping the break out. Perhaps we can strike a bargain for our previous assistance." Kaldur mused. Of course, he was right. Strange did owe them, but there was something shifty about the man that none of them liked either. It was a gamble but one worth taking if it meant a chance to find Red Tornado.

Robin sighed softly, sending a silent apology to Danny before he turned back around to watch the landscape ahead of them. "To Belle Rêve it is, then. M'gann, stay in camouflage mode and stay a bit outside of the inner walls. Wouldn't want them thinking we're coming in for an attack." It sounded logical, but it was all a lie. The guards wouldn't attack, they're more than used to random visits from Batman so with him there it would be fine. No. He just didn't want Danny to be too close to that place again. Even if it was just a few yards it was better than being inside.

The flight over to the penitentiary didn't take too long. Danny wasn't sure if that was a good thing or not. Being there faster meant he had less time to freak himself out. But it also meant less time to mentally prepare to see those walls again. All too soon the entire group of teens, minus Danny, had departed the ship and made their way inside.
