A Bad Feeling
They all came back to reality after that, they couldn't believe they forgot that Aqualad and Spirit were part of the team. Robin still felt like something was wrong with Spirit, something must have happened, something bad. He couldn't really hear what the others were saying, his mind was running through scenarios of what could have happened.
He came back to his senses just in time to hear the second part of Kid Flash's sentence, they had to find Aqualad. Robin spoke, "Now that I know to look for him." Robin brought up the map on his holo-glove, "He's close, but he's not moving."
Miss Martian looked concerned, "What about Spirit?"
Robin checked his map for Spirit, "Something must be messing with the signal, I don't see him." That made him even more worried, Spirit was in danger and Robin couldn't find him on the map, he felt like the world was ending.
Artemis spoke, "Let's find Aqualad, we can find Spirit after that." Robin nodded, he felt numb aside from the feeling of pure dread spreading throughout his body. They all ran off in the direction Aqualad's signal was coming from, Robin just hoped Spirit would be okay. When they found Aqualad he was speaking in atlantean and it looked like he was unconscious.
Miss Martian spoke, "I can't restore his mind in this condition."
Robin spoke, "He needs immediate rehydration, call the bio-ship."
"I can't, it's out of range," She looked at Kid Flash, "But you can get him there fast."
Kid Flash spoke, "He's too heavy and I'm too low on fuel, right now I couldn't even carry her." He gestured toward Artemis who looked slightly irritated by the comment.
Artemis looked at Miss Martian, "Why not just levitate him back?"
"I can't, I have to find Superboy, six months ago he didn't exist, he has no memories, just animal impulse, I'm the only one who can help him."
Robin spoke, "Spirit's still missing too, if we haven't seen him by now something's definitely wrong."
Artemis spoke, "What do you mean?"
Robin mentally sighed, "Ghosts minds work differently from a normal humans. If something tries to affect his mind his instincts kick in and mental barriers stop whatever's invading his mind."
Miss Martian's eyes widened, "So he might not have lost his memory."
Robin nodded, "If he was affected he didn't forget as much as we did, either way he'd be looking for us. He's good at tracking things, even if he doesn't look like he is, if he wanted to find us he would have."
Kid Flash seemed to catch on, "So either he's still unconscious or-."
Artemis cut him off, "Or he got captured."
Robin spoke again, "But since he's a ghost he can phase through things, there aren't a lot of things he can't get through. If he got caught someone knew about what he is which means he could be in danger."
Kid Flash looked confused, "But we're all in danger, why's it different for him?"
"Have you seen the movies about ghosts, people hate them, that's why Spirit avoids people as much as possible."
Miss Martian looked concerned, "I'll try to find Spirit while I look for Superboy, you need to get Aqualad to the ship."
Kid Flash and Artemis nodded, Robin was hesitant but he was hoping that Miss Martian would find Spirit, and soon. Robin quietly sighed as Miss Martian flew off, if she found Superboy he could help her find Spirit. Robin took a deep breath before he focused on helping Aqualad, he was still unconscious after all.
*Meanwhile-Spirit*
Spirit was in pain, memories flashed before his eyes of the same thing happening when he was younger. These were just different people, a different branch, he was glad that they didn't keep in touch with each other at least. Though if they found out that he was a higher level ghost they might make a few calls, that wouldn't be good.
Thankfully they still hadn't figured it out, they just thought he was a rouge ghost that was working with the heroes. They kept asking him questions that he refused to answer, he wasn't going to tell them a damn thing, he'd rather die, again. As far as he could tell they were planning on torturing him until he told them what they wanted to know.
One of the men spoke, "Tell us why they're here." Spirit looked at the man before he spit the blood that was in his mouth at him, it hit his face and he looked pissed. Needless to say Spirit got a few new bruises because of it, he really didn't like this guy and the feeling seemed to be mutual.
Spirit just hoped that he would figure out how to get out soon, either that or the others would find him. He just had to last until he could get out, then he could find the team and hopefully leave this god forsaken place, he just had to hold on.
*Robin*
When Robin, Kid Flash, and Artemis finally got Aqualad back to the bio-ship they hooked him up to an IV bag that was more water then anything else. After about twenty minutes Miss Martian contacted them, 'Hey everybody, I've got Superboy, he's back to normal and we're on our way.'
Aqualad suddenly woke up but Robin didn't hear what was going on, the feeling suddenly got worse again, it was almost like Spirit was screaming. Robin spoke, 'Did you find Spirit?'
Miss Martian gasped, 'I didn't see him, as soon as I restore Aqualad's memories we can all find him.'
Robin waited impatiently for Miss Martian to get to the bio-ship, when she did she immediately started restoring Aqualad's mind. After she was done, which seemed like it took an eternity to Robin, they flew in the bio-ship to find Spirit. Robin scanned for Spirit's signal, despite not finding it this whole time, and they looked for anything odd.
Then they saw a site, there were two or three jeeps, a semi-truck, and a huge white tent. They landed not too far away from the site, before they could actually look around they got spotted. Five men with strange looking guns stood in front of them, one spoke, "Leave or we'll shoot."
*Spirit*
Spirit had finally been left alone after several hours of torture, now he could work on getting out. He pulled on the restraints, since he had been forced to lay on a table for the past hour while they tortured him, and he managed to get out. His wrists hurt like hell but it could definitely be worse, after all he was bleeding from several painful injures at the moment.
Spirit slowly made his way out of the tent he was in when he heard something outside the tent. He looked outside and saw some of the agents threatening to shoot the team, he was more then a little pissed. Spirit went invisible so the agents couldn't see him and a second agent spoke, "Hang on, aren't these the heroes that thing was found with?"
The one that threatened the heroes seemed to realize that they were indeed the people he was found with. "Shoot them."
Before anyone could pull the trigger Spirit appeared on front of the heroes and threw up a shield to protect them. When the agents realized that they couldn't hit the heroes they stopped firing, Spirit got rid of the shield and glared at the agents. The heroes looked at Spirit and were shocked by the sheer number of injuries he had, he was covered in blood.
One of the agents shouted, "How the fuck did that thing get out?!"
Spirit growled, when the agents tried to shoot at him Spirit ran at them and he kicked the gun out of the first agents hands. He grabbed him by the front of his shirt and threw him at two of the others, the two fell and got pinned under the first agent. The other two started shooting at him and he quickly dodged the shots before kicking the first in the face.
He knocked him out before punching the second in the stomach, taking his gun and breaking it over his leg. The guy tried punching him but Spirit grabbed his wrist and threw him over his shoulder. The ones he had knocked down got up and also shot at him, he growled again before phasing through the ground.
Spirit appeared behind the agents and kicked one in the back while he knocked out the second one. As soon as the first one got up he punched him in the face and knocked him out, Spirit felt like he was going to pass out. Spirit looked at the team and they all seemed to he absolutely shocked aside from Robin. Spirit spoke, "Don't just stand there, run you idiots!"
They seemed to snap out of their shock and they ran to the bio-ship, Robin ran next to Spirit in case he collapsed. When they got to the bio-ship they all got in, Spirit barely took three steps into the bio-ship before he collapsed, Robin just barely caught him and Spirit passed out.
