Young Justice: Maternal Mentality (Private With theJozza)

[Babygabrial]

In downtown Bludhaven an odd incident was occurring. Many people around were simultaneously experiencing headaches and nausia. That alone wasn't the biggest problem. The biggest problem is that it is the cause to an effect of many people crashing their cars, people high up potentially falling from a great distance, people near dangerous machinery or fires causing great damage. Its honestly become chaotic around town. Its only even getting worse as the pain just gets worse and worse. People are dropping to their knees screaming and hoping for someone to come amd stop this.

Bludhaven’s Zeta Tube lights up in the back alley where it’s hidden.
(Recognized: Miss Martian)
The young martian flies out of the tube, taking a minute to get her bearings before reaching for her earcom. “Nightwing, I’ve arrived in Bludhaven do you read?”

“Loud and clear,” the reply comes through. “Afraid I can’t meet you yet. Head to the coordinates I sent you and I’ll come when I can.”

[Babygabrial]

In her immediate view, things aren't looking great. People on the ground writhing in pain, a multi car pile up on the road. Some people made it. Some sadly didn't. This may not be a catastrophic event, but it was definitely of a deadly situation.

“This is horrible,” she says, grimacing at the devastation. “Also I think you were right Nightwing. I’m sensing residual psychic emanations everywhere. Whatever or whoever is causing this is telepathic in nature.”

“I thought as much,” Nightwing replies over the com. “But the league has confirmed the whereabouts of all known telepaths strong enough to pull this off. We could be dealing with a new player so use extreme caution.”

“Understood,” she replies as she sets down in front of a line of warehouses.

A incredibly strong and unstable psychic presence can be felt in the area. Its incredibly powerful. Whatever, or whoever, is the cause of this only makes it worse the closer anyone gets. Making getting closer feel like your mentality is split apart like wet paper. However, anyone who can withstand it, can track the source.

“I’ve found the source,” Miss Martian says as she steels her mind. “It’s incredibly powerful. Stay where you are and keep as many people out of this area until I contact you.”

“Okay. Be careful M’gann. Nightwing out.” The com goes quiet and Miss Martian begins to make her way towards the warehouses, focusing in on the source. As she does so, she begins to feel the sporadic and frightened nature of the emanations.

[Babygabrial]

Soon sniffling and sobbing can be heard. A figure in a corner can be heard. Knees up into their head, a puddle around them. In this empty warehouse, they look like the only item. As they hear someone approach they get more scared and the mental blast occurs, confirming that this small being is the source.

[theJozza]

Miss Martian stumbles for a moment as the blasts pick up, but she manages to regain her composure quickly. Upon seeing the figure and feeling the full extent of its fear, she gasps.
“Oh my. Please don’t be afraid. I’m not going to hurt you,” she calls out calmly. “My name is Megan. I’m here to help.”

[Babygabrial]

He looks up at the woman and she has a comforting look to her. His look is a bit different. His skin is really pale. His eyes dark, his hair jet black. He sniffles and reaches up for her not saying much of a word. He looks about 7 or 8 years old. His clothes are soaked.

[theJozza]

Miss Martian slowly walks up to him and then kneels down to his level. “Oh you poor thing,” she coos reaching out to him. “All alone, soaking wet, and cold. No wonder you’re so scared.” She feels the emanations start to fade, but they’re still strong. “I’d like to take you somewhere safe, but first you need to calm down a little. Can you do that for me please?”
