Location: Bialya; September 4th Time,00:16 EEST

[Miss Martian decamoflagues, in the pale moonlight of the desert. However, she's alone. She groans as she pushes herself into a sitting position.]

Miss Martian: Kyatchaa s'lamoth... (Ohh, my head) [She looks up.] K'azzarr M'gann? N'da M'arzz. (Where am I? This can't be Mars.) [She looks to the sky.] Ah'lunzz? (One moon?) Then sifts sand through her fingers. Sesess perakazz? Hw'asheta! (White sand? Oxygen!) [She taps her head lightly with her hand.] Hello, Megan. I'm on Earth. [She walks down a slope of a mountain.] But how did I get on Earth? Why am I wearing this costume? she brings a hand to her head. And why does my head hurt so much? Without warning, she trips rolls downhill. Is this a dream?

[A figure lands harshly, creating a flurry of dust and sand. As it clears Superboy is the source, though his stance is feral as he looks at Megan without any recognition.M'gann's eyes go from his face to the red S on his black t-shirt.]

Miss Martian: Wait, I've seen that symbol. [She shifts so she's sitting on her feet.] Are you Superman?

[With a wordless cry, Superboy stands tall, ripping his shirt apart. M'gann only has time to gasp before he charges at her. He lands on all fours mere moments after M'gann managed to move. Seeing that she is only a few feet away, he jumps at her again, this time with a punch. She takes to the air, giving herself an advantage over the rampaging maniac. He jumps at her, but instead of dodging she brings her hands together. Creating a telepathic wall. Though with the power behind his jump it knocks both of them to the ground. He gets his bearings faster than she does, but instead of attacking her, he uses the time to get away.]

Miss Martian: (Thinking) Not a dream. [She thinks, hugging herself tightly] A nightmare.

[Eclipse is seen laying flat underneath the boiling sun as the only noise heard are the gusts of wind and the sound of the blazing heat. Eclipse gasps as his quickly stands up and takes a look at his surroundings. He gains a headache due to his sudden movements]

Eclipse: Ουφ, το κεφάλι μου (Ugh, my head) (Confused) Where am I? Was I on a mission with Batman or the League? [He walks towards a rock foundation as he peeks from the side; seeing a jeep pass by. Several men get out of the vehicle wearing military uniforms] Is that the Bialyan symbol? What the hell am I doing in Bialya? [Eclipse pulls out his holo-screen and widens his eyes] It's September?! I gotta get back to the cave. [His body glows black as he backs away into the shadows of the rock foundations; disappearing.]

[Robin walks dazedly through the dry heat in the sun, using the rock formation beside him to help him stay orientated. Coming to the edge of the formation, he remains mostly hidden, looking out beyond the formation. Where he can see smoke over the ridge, his eyes widening as his brain processes what it is. A jeep speeds past where he's hiding, but he's not there. As the jeep moves past the Boy Wonder can be seen over their heads in a crevice in the rock.]

Robin: Those are Bialyan Republic Army uniforms. [He starts his HoloGlove.] But what are Bialyans doing in-Uh, Bialya? okay, better question: what am I doing in Bialya- [is gaze goes straight to the date on the bottom of his HoloScreen. Reading 12:02; 04-09. His eyes go wide in shock.] in September?! What happened to March? Better radio Batman.  [A memory of Batman pops up in the boy's mind]

Batman: Maintain radio silence at all times.

Robin: Or not. [He muses before walking to the edge of the rock, executing a quadruple flip. Landing perfectly, but something on top of one of the rocks catches his attention. The  ripped up black shirt with a red S symbol]
