his whole head besides his mouth.  The eyes are white and the shadows of the room seem to cling to his form, making him more fearsome then he already is, the hero known as Dr. Midnight.Dr. Midnight folds his arms across his chest, “Nightchild, I thought I told you to wait here at the Tower.”“I must not have heard you, sorry about that.  The rest of the team wanted to search for Kid Paragon and Miracle Girl, Gadget picked up some dimensional distortions.  We had to check it out,” Nightchild counters mimicking his mentor’s pose.Dr. Midnight walked forward his feet falling silently on the floor as his cape fluttered behind him, “You have no idea what you could be dealing with,” Dr. midnight says forcefully, “and we wan to find those two as much as you do, Charlie-”“Nightchild,” the young hero corrects, “still on duty, boss.”“Alright, well what do you plan to do with your refugees,” Dr. Midnight responds, “what do you think you could possibly do to help them.  Had you thought that far ahead?”“No, but,” Nightchild stammers, “but they know Miracle Girl and Kid Paragon.  If anything we caught a huge break, between them and Gadget we will find them.  But this isn’t about the new guests, right?”“Quick kid, Aegis got a call from the Freedom League.  With the destruction of Mexico City last month, and the suspicion that Overseer is planning something big, means we have to act now.  Especially with Red Witch and Genocide out of the picture for the moment, I am going to need you here, keeping Olympic City safe,” Dr. Midnight replies.“Whoa, Freedom League and Aegis?  You sure you don’t need us?” Nightchild replies, “you know I- we can help you.”“You are sitting this one out kid, if we don’t come back, it will be up to you guys to keep things running smoothly,” Dr. Midnight replies in an almost joking matter.Nightchild nods, “Of course boss…”Teen Justice Tower… in the KitchenKiyana takes a seat in a chair, as Gadget rummages through the cabinets.  The teens of Legacy are a little shocked to see little computer integration anywhere in the tower, not virtua-web terminals, monitors, or any of the amenities they have grown use to from their era.Gadget smiles, “Okay, now I am going to warn you, I don’t cook that often, but I do have a variety of recipes in my head then I can prepare from memory.  So what do you all say to hamburgers, fries, and lots of soda?”Velocity Girl squeals loudly, “Yay!” she hops around excited.Yoshi is busy talking and doing his smooth routine with Aya but getting shot down pretty hard as Danger Girl now out of the hardsuit makes her way into the large living room.  She turns on the plasma screen and starts watching TV.Yoshi sighs, “Dude what is up with the chicks here?” he says to Mark.Gadget winks, “Don’t be so hard on yourself, we just see right through guys like you.”Yoshi blinks, “Hey what is that supposed to mean?”Back on Earth: Legacy“It means that they just disappeared,” Atlas says, his voice thoroughly frustrated.Paragon scowls, “I have the Mitchell family breathing down my neck, I have a whole elite containment facility gone, and several injured and dead UNJE soldiers, and you tell me they just disappeared?”Kensei shrugs, “Josiah they are just gone, and no trace of them, the only one left is the STAR bot, and from what we have seen from her playback, they just faded, I don’t know what could do that, but what we are dealing with is pretty much over our heads.”Bishop smirks, “I guess I was right, Ryan is important for some reason.  Is he another secret UNJE project like No Return?”Paragon smashes a table, “Now you listen to me, Bishop, you are only here because there is nowhere else to put you at the moment.  But rest assured you won’t go free, you are a murderer, a madman, and a terrorist.”Oracle finally speaks, “There was a presence here… several… that were not human, Josiah.”Paragon sighs, “Meaning?”“I don’t know, I just think… it made me scared… one of them was so oppressively… evil…” she finishes with a shiver.Earth: Majestic… the Moon”I hope you are enjoying your new accommodations, my child,” the voice echoed into the dimly chamber, overlooking the planet Earth on the horizon.The purple glowing woman shivered, an odd sensation of fear creeping through her body.  She speaks softly, “Overseer…””I have known you, all your life, my daughter.  A failure that you are, you were created to be manipulated, by those that would play God.  They have made you into a weapon against me, and yet, they have unwittingly reunited us, my daughter,” she felt a cold crystalline hand upon her shoulder.She turned slowly to take in the full visage of the Overseer, a black crystalline being with glowing eyes, and dressed finery of an emperor, a sword hanging on its hip.  It towered over the woman and she once gain knew fear, “You are lying… I am not your daughter… you want to destroy all life… my mission is to destroy you.”“Then by all means,” his voice counters, ”But I assure you, you are of my body.  What makes you, you, is mine.  Once I have your brother, then I will be ready to once again ascend, and you my daughter will be my herald, and shall usher a new era.”“I will never bow to you,” Cardinal hisses.”Such passion is almost amusing.  I don’t need you to bow to me.  But you will serve me, daughter.  That is your destiny,” Overseer commands.</blockquote>
