[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

In the Mission Room, Batman has a picture of a middle-aged man and a map of two countries on HoloScreens. "Rumaan Haarjavti is the democratically elected President of Qurac." A news video, on GBS, pops up in front of the two images. The bottom reads 'President Rumaan Haarjavti and Bruce Wayne' the two men shake hands as cameras flash and the location- in the red bar- shows that this was in the Democratic Palace, in Dhabar, the capital of Qurac. "Haarjavti has been praised as a fair, wise leader. A humanitarian."

"Sure," Wally drags out the word not-quite quietly, before raising his hand to direct it towards Robin. "any friend of Bruce Wayne's." looking far too smug.

The video closes and Batman continues talking. "But five days ago, Haarjavti allied himself... with the dictator of the neighboring nation of Bialya, Queen Bee." her picture pops beside Haarjavti's and the map expands a little to show Bialya in full.

Conner scoffs. "Not a fan."

"Few are." Batman agrees. "But Haarjavti suddenly backs Queen Bee's baseless claim that Qurac and Bialya were one nation in ancient times." the map shifts to show only Bialya's flag over both countries with no border. "And has announced the countries will reunify in two days at a ceremony in Qurac."

A video plays, Haarjavti stands in front of a row of armed militia, and a mural of Queen Bee. "After the ceremony, I will step down as President so that our rightful monarch, Queen Bee, may rule." there's just enough crowd noise to show that they're unhappy.

A second video plays right after it. This one in the Royal Palace in Al-Qawiyah, the capital of Bialya. "I laud President Haarjavti for unifying our peoples and I will gladly come to Qurac to be crowned sole leader of our nation."

"And the Quracis are okay with this?" Wally questions incredulously.

"Hardly." Batman states, another video showing up once again in Dhabar, but this is of the people of the country on the streets, some holding signs. But most of them hold candles. The camera is focused on a young boy holding a candle in one hand while he holds his very-pregnant mother's hand in the other. "They're well aware of the brutality of Queen Bee's regime." the images switch to a picture of the same crowd, showing off more signs and people the center of this one is a young woman holding a candle clearly shouting something. "But Haarjavti has censored the press," the picture changes to a shot of armed forces decked out in riot gear, "silenced all legitimate protest," the picture changes to show troops moving through with smoke coming up while three cars are stopped in a way that shows that they weren't prepared to, "and invited the Bialyan military into his country to enforce martial law."

"Queen Bee has to be controlling Haarjavti." Robin states. "Doesn't she have the power to enthrall most men?"

"And some women." Batman confirms. "But not long-distance. And we have confirmation she hasn't left Bialya. Something else is at work here." his eyes narrow behind the cowl. "Find out what." the Team stands ready. "Robin, you're Team leader."

Wally's eyes go wide before he smiles brightly. It takes Robin a moment to process but when he does his own eyes go wide and his mouth drops open. "Promotion. Sweet." Wally raises his hand, waiting for the return high five.

Robin steps forward. "Me? What about Aqualad?"

"Busy helping Aquaman." Batman says bluntly. "You're the next logical choice.

"Great." Robin sighs.

"Dude, you totally left me hanging." Wally whines.

The BioShip drops out of low orbit, moving over the naturally empty space.

Qurac; November 22nd, 23:56 UTC+2

"We're right above the Quraci-Bialyan border." Robin informs.

Kid Flash looks out the window. "A border the Bialyans are in the process of ignoring."

Tanks run over the barbed wire fence., heading towards a herd of animals. Spooking them when they get too close. Foot soldiers follow behind the tanks with flashlights and guns.

"No opposition." Conner relays. "Guess Haarjavti really is in bed with Bialya."

Robin looks up from his HoloGlove. "Wouldn't expect opposition here." Superboy turns. "It's an animal sanctuary."

"The Logan Animal Sanctuary?" M'gann reads off his Holo, her voice getting excited.

Robin turns, his confusion showing not only in his posture but in his voice too "You've heard of it?"

With his goggles on Kid can see right through the BioShip walls and to the ground below. "Guys, tanks have caused a stampede." he follows the direction they're heading and two people with an injured animal unaware. "With civilians in harm's way."

Now next to Kid Flash, Superboy uses his enhanced sight to get another look. "I see them. Woman and a small boy."

"We have to help them." M'gann says urgently.

Robin frowns. "We're way off mission here." he voices aloud then thinks for a moment before turning back to them. "Deploy. But stealth mode." M'gann nods. "If the Bialyans know we hit them, this becomes an international incident."

A beam from the BioShip hits one of the leading tanks. Taking out one tread and causing it to veer into the tank beside it.

The soldiers scramble out of both tanks, all on guard for where the shot came from.

Still in camouflage mode, the BioShip moves past them.

A disk sticks in the dirt near three soldiers, letting out a white gas that has them coughing before they each get knocked away by Kid Flash.

Another shot from the BioShip goes off a few yards from some of the running soldiers.

Another directs them over the crushed fence line.

The animals are still stampeding towards the civilians.

The woman gasps before reaching over and pulling the boy to her chest.

Superboy drops in front of them with a yell and a small crater, grabbing the leader by the horns and forcing it to the ground. The remaining animals all go around the crater, the woman, the boy, and the injured animal.

The injured animal gets to its feet, and the young boy turns his mother's arm, throwing out an arm. "Oryx!" but the creature still runs perpendicularly into the stampede. Suddenly it's raised above the stampede, unharmed.

"Whoa." the boy mumbles.

"Are you both all right?" Robin speaks up from behind them when KF- holding the soldiers' guns- comes to a stop beside him. Letting Robin get a good look at both of them. The woman's auburn hair, while her son's hair is brighter than hers, they both share a light smattering of freckles, pale skin tone, and blue eyes.

Kid Flash tosses the guns and Robin stands up at his full height as KF pulls his goggles up.

The boy's eyes go wide before he turns to the woman. "Mom? Mom. Mom!" she turns to him. "We were just saved by Robin and Kid Flash!"

"Well, Superboy and Miss Martian helped too." Kid muses, gesturing Superboy as he walks up to them.

The animal that they were taking care of is gently guided back down to the ground, the boy shouting "Oryx!" excitedly and running up to hug it.

Miss Martian drops behind Kid Flash and Superboy but remains invisible.

We diverted the Bialyans around the sanctuary. You should be safe now." Robin informs them both.

"Yeah, coast is clear, Miss M. You can de-camo now." Kid says, not quite sure where she is, but he could hear her drop down near him.

While still invisible she tugs on her hood before taking it down and turning visible, tucking her hair out of her hood. "H-hi." she stutters with a small smile.

The boy brightens instantly, looking super excited.

"You may have made things worse." the mother says sadly. "Bialyan border crossings are a way of life here. Usually, they wreck a few fences and move on." she crosses her arms. "Engaging them might have made us a target."

"Mom." he whines, while Oryx lets out his own noise of displeasure. "Uncool."

She sighs. "I'm sorry. I should thank you." she steps to the side and puts her hand on the boy's shoulder. "This is my son, Garfield. I'm-"

Marie Logan!" M'gann cuts in excitedly, nearly laughing. "I can't believe I'm actually meeting you in person." she continues despite Conner now sending her a very confused look. "I've- uh- I've admired your stance on animal rights for years." she stumbles over her words a little but uses large hand gestures anyway.

"You've only been on Earth six months." Conner points out in her head.

M'gann outwardly panics for a moment before turning away and blushing brightly.

The wildebeest that Superboy took down wobbles towards them and Marie runs to it quickly. "The oryx is sick, and I think you injured this wildebeest."

"Uh... Sorry?" Superboy offers.

"I suppose it was unavoidable." Marie sighs. "But both need to go to our clinic."

M'gann stands in front of the group, beside Garfield, her hands up in front of her chest. "The boys can do that. You and I can, uh," she pauses for a moment thinking, "fix your fences."

"That's not exactly our-" Robin starts.

"Robin?" M'gann turns to him and begs.

Meanwhile, Garfield grabs his mom's jacket. "Please, Mom?"

Both sigh and let out a short "Fine."

Both cheer. "Yes!"

The sun comes up over the mostly flat land while the boys head from the barn to the house.

A few leaves fall from the tree that they're walking under, Conner looks up just before a high screech can be heard. A small monkey drops down out of the tree, lands on Conner's shoulder, causing him to gasp before hopping onto Wally to torment him.

"Hey! Get it off!" Wally yelps but the monkey runs down his arm and stealing his bar before finally stopping screeching and jumping to Garfield's shirt.

Garfield laughs as the monkey climbs up his shirt. "It's okay. Meet Monkey."

It stops on his shoulder and chews on Wally's protein bar.

Conner pouts and looks away. "Good name. But I hate monkeys." he is suddenly hit in the head by Wally's protein bar. He growls.

On to have Monkey holding tight to Garfield's shirt and screeching at him in return.

Kid and Robin laugh. "Looks like Monkey hates Superboys." Robin teases.

"Dude, be glad he only threw a protein bar." Kid says, pulling Conner's annoyed look up from Robin's turned back.

As Garfield leads them into the open-concept house he heads to the back of the long room, letting Kid Flash and Robin take two armchairs. Superboy moves to the other side of the coffee table, near the arm of the couch but doesn't sit down.

"So pretty weird about Miss Martian and my mom, huh?" Garfield asks, hands on his hips.

"What do you mean?" Conner asks as he crosses his arms.

"I mean she looks exactly like Marie." Garfield says sternly. "You know, except greener."

She does?" Wally asks.

"Well, duh, especially back when Mom was a TV star on "Hello, Megan!"." Garfield says, unbothered by how Monkey is trying to eat his shirt.

"Wait, "Hello, Megan!" is a TV show?" Kid asks, confused.

"I just thought it was something she said." Robin admits, turning back towards KF.

"Yeah, on the TV show." Garfield huffs. "Way before we were born. Only one season." Monkey jumps off his shoulder as he gestures to his handheld. "You can't even find it online." he looks embarrassed as he looks at the TV cabinet and the VHS tapes in it. "I know Mom has a tape somewhere."

Fence posts drop into the ground one after another, in a line leading up to Marie's truck where M'gann has her hands spread out, using her powers. She drops her hands as she guides the wire out of the reel, creating the two rows quickly and securing them tightly.

"Well, you're certainly a time-saver." Marie muses as M'gann stands up proudly and her eyes stop glowing green. Though Marie doesn't see M'gann's look as she roots through her bag.

"How was it being Megan?" she asks curiously.

"Being Megan?" Marie parrots, grabbing a pair of wire cutters. "I don't know." it snaps under clippers. "I was young. It was fun." she offers, unsure what Miss M really wants out of her answer.

M'gann tucks her hair behind her ear and starts talking quickly. "Remember that time you were supposed to make cookies, only you thought it'd be faster to make one giant cookie-"

Marie cuts her off. "Listen, "Hello, Megan!" was a job. The person you saw on TV isn't who I am." she says seriously.

M'gann's happiness drops.

Garfield pulls out a tape, which has 'Hello Megan Pilot' written on it. ""Hello, Megan!" The pilot episode." he says proudly, blowing the dust off the tape.

"Whoa, you still have VHS?" Kid comments when Garfield puts it in and grabs the remote. "Where's your eight-track?

Wait!" Superboy barks as he turns away from the TV, glaring. Then turns to Robin and Kid Flash. "Aircraft, headed this way."

The other two stand up quickly, both Kid Flash and Superboy running out but Robin turns to the boy. "Gar, stay put." he orders before leaving as well.

Gar stares with a wide, dumbfounded expression.

Conner runs out of the house, while Robin and Kid Flash stay on the porch as Marie and M'gann head back towards the house.

"What is it?" M'gann asks lowly.

Then the two of them heard the engines.

Turning towards the sound, there are three drones flying towards them.

The gunfire is nearly immediate and M'gann turns towards Marie, taking her to the ground and covering her. But neither of them are hit as the bullets bounce off Superboy.

When it stops, they both stand up, Marie looking at Conner with panic. "Where's my son?"

"I ordered him to stay inside." Robin replies.

"He's eight, he doesn't do orders." Marie says sternly.

Just as the doors to the barn open from the inside.

"Mom!" they all turn to the source of the shout. Garfield having pushed the doors open, the wildebeest and the Oryx being let out. "It's okay, I got the animals out!"

The rapid gunfire returns, drawing his attention to it, and the shots kick up dirt before one hits the large tank on the outside of the barn and it explodes instantly, destroying the barn and sending Gar flying.

"Garfield!" Marie shouts, held back by Superboy.

M'gann takes off, flying to where Garfield and a large chunk of one of the doors got kicked high in the air. Catching him in her arms.

Looking down at the boy whose clothes are ripped all along his front and he already has bruising on his neck and face. He lets out a weak groan as his head lulls to the side.

M'gann slowly descends, handing him off to Marie before she even touches the ground.

Garfield groans as the three drones circle back around.

M'gann and Superboy take off instantly.

Marie turns to Robin. "I told you there'd be consequences." she hisses.

"Always." he looks down to compose himself before meeting her with a serious look. "Let's get him inside."

The targeting system only gets one look at Superboy before he punches it and it explodes.

M'gann remains floating, still, her eyes glow green. She moves her hands quickly and the two remaining drones crash into each other. Before flying back down.

There are blood spots leading down the hall to where Garfield is laying on the bed, the EKG beeping away. His head is wrapped, an IV stand is already set up, and the rest of his body is covered by either his t-shirt or the blanket while Marie uses her stethoscope to check him out, having put glasses on at some point as well.

Kid Flash shows up in the doorway.

"He's in shock. He needs a blood transfusion now." she stands up and looks at Robin. "Is either of you O negative?"

Robin pulls up his HoloGlove but shortly lets out a "No."

"Sorry." KF says from the doorway.

"Neither am I." Marie gripes. "It's the hardest to match. I kept a supply in the clinic.

Kid steps into the room "I can run him to the nearest hospital."

"The nearest hospital with a blood supply is half an hour away at your top speed." Robin looks back down at the map he has pulled up. "Longer by BioShip."

"He doesn't have that much time." Marie says just barely keeping herself from getting hysterical. "What's Superboy's blood type?"

"He's Kryptonian." Robin informs, anger getting into his words as it wears on him too. "And Miss Martian-"

"Might be able to help." she interjects from the hall, getting all of their attention in an instant. "My shape-shifting occurs at the cellular level." she continues as she walks into the room. "I think I can morph my blood to match his."

"Please, try." Marie begs, griping M'gann tightly.

M'gann puts a hand to her head. "I'll need to concentrate." then looks back over her shoulder at Marie. "No distractions."

Marie turns to the boys. "Out. All of you, out."

Once Robin leaves the room Marie slams the door shut. Looking worriedly at M'gann.

M'gann reaches out, wiping some of the blood falling from Garfield's nose with her glove. She stares at it as her eyes glow green.

Inside her body, her blood morphs and shifts red blood cells latching on to the green inside her. Some of it turns a deep red as well. Inside her bloodstream, the larger cells and the walls- all of which are a dull, dark red color, looking nearly washed out and grey- get overrun by a vibrant green color before turning pure red.

Suddenly M'gann's eyes are glowing red instead of green. "I'm ready." she informs Marie.

Superboy listens in from the hallway but is suddenly pulled away from the silence in the room as Robin grips his hair and his voice turns stressed. "-and on top of all this, Haarjavti steps down tomorrow subjecting all of Qurac to this danger." he runs his hands through his hair as he sits up straight, turning to Wally. "Kid- KF, can you find a news station?"

"Sure. Which remote is it?" as he messes with the three he's holding in his hands.

The TV clicks on and goes grainy for a moment before a school bell rings and 'Hello, Megan!' appears in the center of the screen.

Hello, Megan. Is sang by a masculie voice, while the title is on screen, starting opening for the show. The black background gives way to a school front shot as kids leave the front door. School and boys and parents too.

Conner's attention suddenly snaps to the TV.

Two young girls- one with a very familiar look, M'gann in her human form, and the other a brunette with amber eyes- in white cap-sleeved t-shirts with a red M on the left breast and blue skirts, walk down the stairs, clearly chatting despite the lack of sound. Hold back the chuckle Miss You-Know-Who.

Starring Marie Logan is written over the shot in standard white font.

She stumbles and falls over the railing of the stairs, her loose papers going everywhere, but she's caught in the arms of a boy with long black hair and pale blue eyes- wearing a long sleeve shirt that is mostly dark grey, but is a burnt orange from the collar to the sleeve seams, and to his collar bones, and a white necklace tight to his neck- as he walks on the grass. When he catches her the two share a smile. As she shows off her confusion with both her hands, both the one he can see and the one behind his head.

Paul Sloane is now written on the bottom third of the screen.

Who? Is sang as a long undertone by feminine voices the main voice singing: Hello, Megan

The auburn and the raven look up, the shot flips to the brunette looking down at the two of them with a smile.

Rita Farr switches in on the bottom third of the screen.

Who? The pitch shifts more with this one, still undertoning the Hello, Megan as the papers fall over an older couple- a woman with pale ginger hair pulled back by a white headband, wearing a blue dress and grey leggings; the man wearing a grey turtleneck and a professional coat and pants.

Sandra Stanyon and Jonathan Lord are written on the screen.

The scene shifts to a football stadium, where a tiger float has the cheerleaders- which is obviously the uniform the girls were wearing- on top with the marching band in front and the football players behind them.

This cheerleader knows the score. The auburn falls off the float as she does her routine, getting caught by the football team. Center of attention and so much more.

Conner walks into the room during the verse, looking intensely at the screen, catching Robin's attention as he walks past. The Boy Wonder stands up, his attention now on the screen as well.

Hello, Megan. The football players help her up, now with red and blue pompoms, so she's standing on one foot on one of the player's shoulder.

Hello, Megan is sung by all four voices as she cheers with her pompoms. Before smiling at the camera.

A little bit distractible. The scene shifts to Marie wearing a warm outfit, almost entirely in purple, including her sunglasses which she pulls down to watch a large ice cream sundae being carried by a waiter go past. But never too intractable The shifts again to a home set, where Marie- wearing a very familiar outfit- runs down the stairs.

She's really quite attractable. A door opens and Marie comes out and hugs a familiar raven-haired man. Okay, a lot distractible. The scene shifts to her stepping down from a latter holding a roller brush where the older man has a bucket turned over on his head and white dripping all over him and his clothes. She makes a very dramatic 'oops' face. Before it shifts to a set of a purple room where Marie's character is spinning a vibrantly pink dress to get in front of her mirror.

Eventually, she'll get a clue. A quick scene of her holding a frog with a grimace pops in before switching back to the home set where Marie's character says,"Hello, Megan!" doing the same head bump M'gann does.

The girl for me.

Marie's character is hugged by the same blue-eyed man with long black hair.

The girl for you.

Conner's eyes snap wide.

Hello, Megan.

Kid and Robin exchange confused looks.

Hello, Megan. A scooter beeps as Marie drives it down the street, the same black haired boy on the back, holding his helmet in place with one hand while the other is at her waist.

The girl for me, "Megan" sits on the couch, her chin on her hand when the same boy presses a kiss to her cheek, startling her. The girl for you. She watches him pull away with a sly look.

The boys can only watch the screen dumbly.

Ha ha. Hello, Megan.

"Maybe it's a coincidence." Superboy offers.

Both the teen and the older man watch as Marie's character runs across the kitchen/dining room set with a boiling pot in her hands. As the crash happens off camera the teen turns to the older man. Hello, Megan. Dressed in green overalls, behind a blonde boy and a darker skinner boy with shaved sides who glare at each other, with a brush with white paint on it in each hand, she throws an arm over each of their shoulders.

Hello, Megan. Back in the football stadium, she turns and cheers, jumping high in the air when the shot pans out to show several more characters in the shot all cheering as fireworks go off in the background and the shot freezes.

Created by Greg Vietti & Brandon Weisman

The scene opens with a woman in a blue dress dusting her couch in the living room.

"Mom, I'm going to the library to study." Marie's character says as she runs down the stairs.

"But didn't you invite a certain someone to study here?" her mom asks.

The doorbell rings.

"Hello, Megan!" 'Megan' says, bopping her head with the heel of her hand.

The audience laughs as she descends the stairs. Quieting as she opens the door.

They clap as the boy from the intro is shown to be the one outside.

"Conner!" she says brightly, running out of the house and hugging him.

The audience cheers.

"I thought you'd never get here." she teases.

The audience laughs.

Superboy, pointedly, looks away.

"Oh, yeah, pure coincidence." Wally whispers to Robin, using bring the hand with the remote to the other side of his mouth.

"It's done." all three boys startle and turn to the source, but M'gann doesn't notice as her focus is solidly on the floor. Even missing how Wally accidentally tosses the remote in the air and Robin's panicked looks between KF and M'gann. "All we can do now is wait."

When Wally catches it, he frantically starts hitting buttons to get it to go away. When it turns grainy Wally chances a glance over his shoulder, unaware that he actually got a channel until

"My fellow Quracis..."

M'gann perks up. "Is that Haarjavti?"

"Queen Bee's rule is a gift to Qurac." Haarjavti says.

"Hey, that guy in back." Superboy says suddenly. "I know him."

Robin uses his HoloGlove to zoom in on the video and get a good look.

"It's Psimon." M'gann realizes. "The psychic we fought last time we were in Bialya. He was working for Queen Bee then. He must be controlling Haarjavti for her now.

Wally facepalms. "I remember the headache from when he brain-blasted us." he groans.

"We have to get Haarjavti away from him." Robin says, closing his Holo as he narrows his eyes.

The door to the room squeaks as it open. "I think it worked. Garfield's stable." Marie says, getting the Team's attention.

"Good. Because we have our mission." Robin informs.

Dhabar; November 23rd, 22:11 UTC+2

Haarjavti's office is dark with no lights on this late at night, despite the number of Biyalian soldiers outside the perimeter of the area.

Yet, Haarjavti sits, staring blankly out the window from his desk chair.

A swivel fish-eye cam scopes out the room from between the ceiling before sliding away.

"Haarjavti's alone." Robin informs before he, Kid Flash, and Superboy drop out of a ceiling tile.

All three of them landing nearly silently, Robin facing Haarjavti's desk, while KF and Superboy face the two doors in and out of the room.

Miss Martian remains in camouflage mode and floating over their heads, watching the room as a whole as Robin heads towards and around the desk.

Robin comes to a stop before Haarjavti, slowly- robotically, even- he turns towards him. "Where's my daughter?" he questions, clearly still strongly under Psimon's mind control. He groans, moving for the first time as he brings his fingers to the bridge of his nose. "Where's Psimon?"

"Forget him." Robin says shortly. "Let's get you out of here."

The doors slam open and Biyalian soldiers decked out in full-body alien weapons charge into the room. Outnumbering them easily.

Finally, someone wearing a Biyalian military uniform, but no weapon. "Well, well, American Heroes, here to assassinate the President." Miss Martian drops silently behind the general and a nearby soldier completely unnoticed. "Such a shame we arrived too late to stop them."

"Those are Apokaliptan weapons." Superboy says tersely.

"Which they'll use to kill Haarjavti, we get blamed and Queen Bee gets to rule Qurac. Form up around the President." Robin confirms.

Miss Martian's attention snaps outside the room. "I've found Psimon!"

"Wait." Robin tries, but she's already leaving.

"I'll get her." Superboy turns to charge.

"No!" Robin says quickly, stopping him short. "The mission is Haarjavti."

XXX

M'gann flies through the palace before coming to a theatre room, landing in the lane between the rows of seats with only a slight click of her boots.

She's slammed back, into the stairs into the room, and out of her camouflage by a psychic wave.

Looking up she sees Psimon walking in front of the stage. "Tsk, tsk. Am I the only one to learn anything from our previous encounter?" he taunts her, heading up the aisle where M'gann is still struggling to get to her feet. "You didn't think that maybe if you could sense me, I could sense you too?" M'gann gets to her feet with an angry and defensive look but stays silent. "Or that this time, I'd be ready to use your greatest fear against you?" M'gann stumbles on her feet before falling to her knees with a groan. "Psimon says, show me who, or rather what, you really are." Psimon drops his hood and lets his mental waves come out at full strength now showing off his clear skull.

M'gann gasps, eyes going wide before clutching her head. "No. No. No!" she chants falling to her elbows as well. "This is who I am!"

Despite her words, her fingers start changing shape, and as she groans her face morphs to almost look like an ill-fitting horror prosthetic. Before her body cracks open down her spine and her form is overtaken by a larger one that is white with red rather than green.

It screeches high before it morphs into a yell at a more normal pitch.

In Haarjavti's office, all the Biyalian soldiers are unconscious and knocked around the room. KF and Superboy drop the last two while Robin puts his remaining tools back in his belt. At Haarjavti's side is a beautiful young woman with a mark under her left eye. "Thank you for saving my father." she tells the boys. "We will take care of him now."

"M'gann, we're coming." Superboy broadcasts as the three of them run down the halls.

They just make it to one of the side entrances to the theatre before clutching their heads in pain. Caught right in Psimon's line of sight. Then falling unconscious.

Psimon faces forwards again. "Psimon says smartly done." he claps sarcastically. "Brain-blasting your own team. I had no idea you'd go to such lengths to hide your true self from your good friends. Well, actually, I did. But you needn't have bothered, it's being recorded for posterity." he gestures to a grouping of screens that show several different shots of M'gann's true form.

"No!" M'gann shouts, sending her own psychic waves at Psimon.

The waves hit a Psychic wall that Psimon has in front of him, defusing them with ease. "Ah-ah-ah." Psimon tisks and finger waves. "I didn't say "Psimon says"." The barrier disappears, dispersing M'gann's attack and leaving her open.

She stares, stunned, before it all disappears in a bright flash.

In the open sky, a bust suddenly turns into a familiar M'gann, in her uniform though all black with a white belt, cape, and the X on her chest. She screams before crashing into the ground.

She pushes herself off her elbows but is still on her knees as she looks around the desert landscape before pushing herself to her feet and walking a bit as she looks around even more.

She blinks and suddenly Psimon is in front of her.

"Come now, we both know that's not who you really are. Must you even lie to yourself within your own mind?"

"It's not a lie! This is who I am!" she shouts. A beam comes out of her forehead.

It is still not enough as Psimon has a black shield up that blocks M'gann's beam.

From the dust that the impact causes the dust blows back, showing off a lighter, softer sand.

"Wow. And they say I'm pathological." Psimon muses.

M'gann shoots a short burst at Psimon, but instead of simply dissipating her shot his shield turns red and jagged before hitting her.

She goes flying, past familiar locations that are jumbled in the air or on the dunes.

M'gann just barely catches her breath before Psimon is flying before her.

"Off our game, are we?" he taunts. "Let's dig a little deeper, find out what we're really afraid of, hm?" suddenly black expands from his forehead, swallowing M'gann in a matter of moments.

M'gann screams.

Her white form is back and she's surrounded by nothing but overwhelming blackness.

The Team, even including Zatanna, stares at her in fear and distrust before few gasps come out. Artemis cringes back.

"Keep back!" Kid Flash shouts.

"Well, of course, friends and teammates shrink from you in fear." There's a red flash from behind M'gann and when she turns Black Canary, Batman, and Red Tornado are larger-than-life and stare down at her.

"You should have told us the truth." Canary seethes.

"I don't see how we can trust you now." Batman continues.

"Then you're kicked off the pep squad." the three turn around and walk away, not seeing M'gann tentatively reach out.

"I am sorry M'gann," suddenly a large form of J'onn's head appears behind her, "but there is no place for you on Earth now." before he corrodes away and she's back in the desert.

"Oh, and banished to Mars too." she looks around at the Martian landscape before she's enveloped in blackness again. "Yet even that's not the worst, is it?"

Conner appears before her, not even looking her way. "No, please, stop." M'gann begs, breathlessly.

For a tense second M'gann's alone before Psimon appears. "Oh, what you wouldn't do to prevent that now, right?

M'gann perks up. "That's right."

The world around them starts shaking and M'gann stands up.

Psimon puts on a tense smile but looks worried. "Now, now, my pretty, I know you don't want to do anything you'll regret."

M'gann's eyes are glowing red. "You don't know me at all!" suddenly a more concentrated beam shoots from M'gann's forehead and hits Psimon in the chest.

He looks stunned as it suddenly is actually hitting him in and tearing his clothes as it expands. Psimon screams as he's fully enveloped in the light.

Conner?" M'gann asks curiously, and through his heavy lids he can make out M'gann's green skin. "You okay?" his eyes open fully as she smiles.

Conner groans again as he sits up and clutches his head. Robin and Kid Flash are close behind him. Behind them are all shattered TV screens.

"And there's the headache." KF groans.

Robin rubs his own head as he stands up. "Psimon?"

"He brain-blasted you. I stopped him." M'gann says simply, then she looks to another part of the room, there's broken glass, chairs, and scattered wood. Where Psimon lays on top of the pile, eyes blank but open, and his mouth relaxes a little where drool escapes one corner.

In the daylight, there are photographers, news crews, and the Quarci military in front of the Palace, all circling around Queen Bee.

"What do you mean the President won't see me?" she demands. "He invited me!"

"Not of my free will. No!" Haarjavti shouts from a hallway archway. "But now that I am free of your minion's thrall..."

"... the Quraci people will never suffer your tyrannical rule!" Garfield sits up in bed, still having an IV stand at his side, his mom behind him, and Monkey clinging to his shoulder as they watch TV.

As everyone cheers over the airwaves Monkey chomps on Garfield's shirt seam at his shoulder.

Marie rubs the back of her son's head as he looks down at Monkey.

Garfield blinks and looks back at the TV and it suddenly becomes glaringly obvious that Garfield's eyes are now a vibrant green color.

GBS is broadcasting it as well, and the Team watches it in Haarjavti's office. "Mark me, Haarjavti, you will suffer for this. Qurac will be mine."

They all turn and Queen Bee simply walks into the room. As the door shuts her body shifts and M'gann's normal form takes Queen Bee's place.

"Sorry you had to lie to everyone like that." Robin apologizes before anyone else can say anything, stepping forwards enough to be in the center of the room. "But I couldn't think of any other way to convince the public Queen Bee was behind this."

Kid Flash bumps his fist into Robin's shoulder. "Dude, saving a country. Pretty big win for your first turn as Leader."

Robin huffs a hollow laugh. "Yeah, thanks." he says lowly, still looking sad.

"And I assure you, the Wayne Foundation is here to do whatever it can to help you and your people rebuild Qurac." Bruce says, shaking Haarjavti's hand in front of the palace.

Marie turns off the news in her living room where the Team watches it.

"Gee, Bruce Wayne sure got here fast." KF taunts Robin. "Almost like he knew-" Robin elbows him in the stomach.

"Don't you have a souvenir to collect or something?" Robin makes it look casual as he puts both hands behind his head and leans back in the chair. Smirking at Kid Flash.

"Hello, Megan!" Kid mimics the motion that they now know the origin of before he zips over to the TV cabinet and holds it in front of M'gann's face. "Something you'd like to tell us?"

M'gann looks over the group before she sighs. "Growing up on Mars was not a happy time for me." she admits lowly. "I started watching the broadcasts my uncle sent from Earth to teach us about our sister planet. And when I saw "Hello, Megan!" something just clicked. Maybe it was the similarities in our names. Maybe it was the way all Megan's problems could be solved in 22 minutes. All I know for sure is that Megan helped me smile through a lonely childhood. So when I came to Earth and had to adopt a human form, I chose you." Marie gives a small smile, seeing M'gann in a new light. "Well, huh, Megan."

"Which begs the question," Robin starts slowly, exchanging a look with KF who is back beside his chair. "what do you really look like?" leaning his arms on his thighs.

M'gann stands slowly, then her hair disappears. She looks a lot more like J'onn but still has her golden-brown human eyes.

"Bald M'gann." Wally vocalizes before dropping his voice. "Still hot."

Her hair is suddenly back and she pulls away, hugging herself. "I do it for me. This is who I am inside." then she looks up to Marie. "Please don't be mad."

"Mad? I'm honored." Marie corrects. "M'gann, you saved my son. He says he's your blood brother now, and I agree. You're family."

M'gann moves quickly towards Marie, broadcasting her intent to hug her before they're close enough to. "Thank you." she whispers. "You can't know what that means to me."

M'gann heads down the hall towards Garfield's room, gently opening the door. "Garfield?" she gasps when she realizes he's not alone. M'gann opens the door fully, revealing Queen Bee.

"Shh. It would be a shame to wake him." she reaches down and brushes his hair with her hand. "I might have to order my little thrall here to damage himself." M'gann's eyes glow. "Uh-uh. He already has orders to do just that if anything happens to me." stunned, M'gann's eyes lose their glow. "Now, your performance, a bit over the top, I think. But then you haven't practiced me the way you've perfected the role of Megan." Finally, Queen Bee stands up and heads towards M'gann who can only stare in shock. "That's right. Poor Psimon's not the only one who knows your true form." she invades M'gann's personal space. "And if you don't cooperate..." she moves closer and whispers in M'gann's ear. "I'll make sure everyone knows what you really are specially that cute Jedi friend of yours what does his reaction look like when he sees you in that true form of yours 

M'gann's face tightens up, looking ready to cry but also completely terrified to look away from the dictatorial Queen.
