As I reach the bottom of the stairs I hear a familiar voice but I can't quite pinpoint whose it is. As I adjust to the extreme brightness in the room I see equipment and glowing tubes everywhere. The tube that runs right next to me is glowing a golden red. It shines with a familiar glow I follow the tube to an icy structure mixed with technology. I look on top of the ice and I see beast boy trapped in the ice asleep with a tube sticking out of him sucking this shiny gold liquid out of him that flows like blood.
I try to wake beast boy but nothing I do will wake him.
As I try to wake him a familiar head of black hair is seen in the side of my vision. I freeze as I recognize the face as my momma's. The voice I heard earlier draws closer to me so I fly quickly to behind my mother's ice prison.
Unknown: Soon Father we will meet again with all of the technology you left, my powers, and the fact that I have surprised and overcome all of the heroes who tarnished your good name. Just a few more minutes and I will get to be in a world were you still exist.
I realize in horror as I finally recognize the voice as Frost, one of the more powerful but friendly Teen Titans. I shake in fear if all these heroes could not beat her how could I. What am I doing here. The whole world trembles as I collapse near my momma's prison. One clear thought comes into my head as the quake stops. I am the last hope. I need to try to free others to slow down the quakes, and to get the surprise on Frost.
As I stand up as the quake stops and Frost's voice and step get further away. As I reach for my momma's tubes that are connected to her, her hand grabs me.
Luna: Momma you're awake.
I spoke very softly but I was glad she was okay.
Claire: Luna, get out of here. Get as far away as you can, this thing will explode soon and take all of us with it.
Luna: No. Mom, I am not going anywhere you have a fail-safe, that fail-safe is me and I can do this. See Alfred even gave me the new tool belt. I'm a big kid now.
Claire: Yes your so big now but, being big is also knowing when to quit. And you need to leave.
As she finishes a quake starts again. I grip hard on the ice as to not fall. As tears start to gather on both of our faces
Luna: I will not leave, I'm a hero.
Claire: You will leave. ... We are all being drained of our blood and powers to power this machine that in turn will destroy ether the entire country or the world. There is no way to free all of us and stop it in time. So, get out of here... and get to freedom. Live in the world and just be... happy.... please.
As she finished talking tears were falling full force down her face. She barely had even enough energy to say much more to Luna.
Luna noticed how weak her mom was and realized that she could barely even speak anymore. With full tears now running down her face, as the last quake finally stops. She looks at her mom and whispers..
Luna: I'm sorry momma, I can not do what you ask of me for I am a hero and we fight to the end to save all... no matter how small or big. That's what our blood and even non-blood family has taught me. I will turn off the machine. I can do this. We all will make it out of here. I smile and don't look back as fly in-between machines and ice that lace all around the outside of the room as I near the center, I see Frost's back its turned towards me, but don't stop. As I can almost touch the machine in the center of the room, she turns around and a pillar of ice appears in front of me. As I melt it with my heat vision, I float in mid-air as we both just stop for a moment a look at one another.
