Mongul's Base:
There's a flash of green light, and the heroes arrive abruptly.

"Go!" the Green Lantern declares.

	The words sink in a little slowly as his mind tries to catch up to what's being said. Mongul. Black Mercy. Kids. Kids meant...no his daughter would not be here. She better not be here. "Cait? Where's Cait?" he asked as he sat up. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"You've got to recover from the Mercy," Dinadan says, finally pulling the plant all the way off. "There are probably parademons between here and where we need to go, and we could really use you at full capacity."

He's just going to go and toss this particular Mercy into the next room, for lack of a better idea of what to do with it, and run to the next adult before Aquaman notices the lack of answer to that question.

	Oh Arthur did notice the lack of an answer to his question which meant that Cait was here and was probably in trouble. He stood up and started running. Thankfully the air was humid enough that he wasn't too weak from being away from water. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Ray ducks under the flailing tendrils from the new culture, rolling and diving back out of reach. "The new experiment is just as reactive as we hoped it might be. The antibodies are attacking me, even though the suit is designed so I'd identify as..."

He's cut off by the call back over comms. "Dr. Palmer, you've been testing the samples for over four hours."

"Yes Marilyn, you worry too much. I'm not that old yet. I can still handle..."

"No, Dr. Palmer, its not that. You're going to be late. The nobel prize presentation, remember? For your son? Your plane is due to leave in less than two hours."

"Other way!" Dinadan shouts after Aquaman as he does exactly what he'd known he'd do. If he's going to insist on running into parademons before he's recovered, he might as well go in the right direction.

He's about to move onto the next closest adult when he spots glimpse of a very familiar costume through tangle of vines.

"Dad!"

Dinadan trips over his own feet running to his father's side, and lands hard on the floor next to him, grabbing a hold of the Mercy in the same movement. He doesn't know how worried he should be that his dad isn't six inches tall or his full human height, but it's unusual enough to worry him plenty.

	As he's resuming normal height and hopping out of the petri dish and off the table, Ray would swear that his son is standing there instead of his assistant. "Din? You're supposed to be in Norway..." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He's bruised and bleeding too -- the last time Dinadan looked like this, he was seven and had just rolled himself down a big hill inside an old coffee can. And the armor isn't exactly his usual lab-wear either. "Got to get this thing off, I hate these stupid plants--" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The lab fades, turning into much less familiar surroundings. Ray blinks a couple times. "Din? What's going on?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Dad!" Yes! His dad's okay! "Mongul kidnapped you and pretty much all of the other adult heroes and has been keeping you all down and out with Black Mercies," Dinadan explains in a rush, pulling the Mercy off the rest of the way. He breaks into a relieved grin under the dust and blood. "I'd hug you, but my hands are full. Lemme go toss this." His dad's okay! (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Black mercies?" he turns his attention on the plant. "Hmmm, I wonder if their effect is chemical... in which case, it shouldn't have as pronounced an effect on Wonder Woman..." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Then I'll try her next!"

Dinadan tosses this handful into the next room as well, and then looks around for a Mercy tangle that might be holding Wonder Woman. If it doesn't effect her as much, then she'll probably wake up faster, and more people awake is a very good plan.

The bundle he selects turns out to contain Troia, but maybe she's got a similar possible-resistance to the maybe-chemical effect. Either way, no point in stopping part way through...
