M'Gann slowly started to move the Kryptonite off of Superboy with her telekinesis, meanwhile Artemis and Robin were giving the others a mental crash- course on how to undo ropes. In less than 2 minutes, Megan had freed Superboy and everyone but Robin had subtly untied themselves. Megan sent out a psychic blast which knocked their guards off of their feet, and Conner caught them before they hit the ground, so as to avoid making noise to alert the villains, still holding Robin's cage and utility belt. The mini-team crept through the shadows, talking to Robin the whole way, to make sure he was still safe. Suddenly a note of urgency entered his tone as he said,
"Guys, you need to hurry up, they know you're free and they are planning to leave-" Wally mentally whooped saying,
"Awesome! Probably don't want to face daddy bats or the rest of the league, do they? HaHA!" Robin responded with a scalding tone that seemed to mentally slap Wally in the face,
"Have you forgotten that I am with them, immobilised, in an electrified cage, AS A TODLER?!?! I heard them talking, if you don't get to them before they leave... I am going too." Everyone could hear the note of desperation there, and it hardened their resolve. Aqua Lad spoke to the youngest in a soothing manner, trying to relay confidence and surety. "Robin, we are not letting them take you, Miss Martian is in camouflage mode and is collecting your utility belt as we speak, which pocket is the antidote in?"
There was a sudden, charged silence, until Robin spoke in a resigned tone, though the reason for that was unknown to the team until his final sentence, "Looking down as though you were wearing it, it should be in the pocket 3 from the middle on the left side, that's where I keep various antidotes to things... The one you're looking for is called 'MR4' meaning 'Mobility Restorative 4'. There's a catch though..." Robin mentally sighed so they could hear it, "The utility belt is keyed into my touch, the way I move, so Megan before you say anything, shifting into me won't help anything, the only way to override it is if I give someone the alternative access code..." he sighed again,"which just so happens to be my name."
