The night had been peaceful so far, other than the standard fare that was the birth right of any metropolis (Hah.) However, if one were wandering through Metropolis Park on this starry evening, they would be witness to an event that was beyond strange

[brainiac5ive]

Beast Boy probably didn't realize how much research Brainy had done into this specific period of time since he had arrived into the future. Needless to say it was enough to know what the next crucial point of this crisis was going to be, which was why instead of Jump City, they would be arriving in Metropolis to stop the next wave. Hopefully before it got too out of control

"Sometimes it's a little scary, how much you know Brainy." Not that he hadn't come to appreciate his friends talent for knowledge. Especially during his brief foray into the future. Brainy seemed to be the man with the plan, for lack of a better way of putting it.

"So...that thing isn't our fault then?" Beast Boy pointed up at the now formed dome, as if he thought Brainy might not know what he was talking about. "Experimental tech? Do you know what that is then?" 'cause BB certainly had no idea what was going on.

The Dome had barely fallen, when people started screaming bloody blue murder, the sound of thousands of citizens shouting at the top of their lungs was both impressive, and worrying. It reminded him a lot of their days in Gotham. Certainly a time he didn't want to be reminded of. "It sounds like the people are worried about this too, maybe we should look into it?" He had a knack for stating the obvious, that he did.

"I'm more concerned about this city turning out like Gotham did. Batman was absent, but surely the Justice League would have sent someone to your aide, Superman may have stepped in where he available. Considering how this is now three months later...There is something seriously wrong in this timeline."

And now for their mission. "We'll investigate the force field later, let's go find the Mayor and ensure his (or her) safety."

With that, he took to the air above and started heading for City Hall. It was a defensive measure, considering how easily Joker had taken over before, or then again, maybe not. It had occurred to him after the fact that Joker wasn't really who he claimed to be back in Gotham, especially when they found the robot in the City Hall.

"What happened in Gotham, will not happen here in Metropolis." There was a steel to his voice, that was not normally present in the happy go lucky Beast Boy. What he lacked for in physical growth, he made up for in mental growth. He had learned things, both from their experience in Gotham, and while he had worked with the Legion in the 31st century. Because of that, he was going to be a better, and stronger hero

It was satisfying to see how well Beast Boy's recovery has been since the day of their retreat into the future. He has really come along not only as a hero, but gained character, he supposed it didn't hurt that he had a strong support from Chameleon Boy, Saturn Girl and Timberwolf of all people. Brainy smiled back at his friend and gestured forward. "This way."

"It's just a precaution, that and the mayor is likely the one who knows why the shield was activated." And then Beast Boy asked him that. Was it annoying? No. Not really. It was just irrelevant. "Unknown, the history file was surprisingly vague."

[aardvarktozebra]

"Good point. I hadn't thought of it that way." Beast Boy found himself nodding his head in agreement with the logic. If this were a plan enacted by some sort of hero group, like the Justice League then the local law enforcement, and government agencies would have been informed. If it were a deliberate attack by a super villain...well, wouldn't there be some kind of robot army, or massive monster fighting going on by now

"We didn't let you look at the past records due to the lack of relevant material and that we have protocol to keep. That and much of the information relating to certain hero groups were lost in the great crisis. You wouldn't be surprised if the Justice League had more exposure than smaller, more obscure groups, even then they'd only be myths and legends like you saw at the Superman Museum." Brainy replied to his young friend. There was nothing he could really do in that regard.

Brainy pointed to the edge of a drive in circle and a parking lot. Metropolis city capital building. There.

[aardvarktozebra]

Well, there wasn't much ground for him to argue against protocol. Not that he had never tried before. He argued with the Titans whenever he could. If he had his way, he'd have made them all vegetarians, and established a tofu pizzeria right inside the Tower. Robin had always said things like 'breach of security' and 'stop kidding around Beast Boy, it's your week for dishes.' So yeah, long story short he'd learned there are some fights you just can't win

[brainiac5ive]

If only Beast Boy had realized how easily that could have been accomplished in the 31st century with food replication technologies.

Brainy flew down and landed on the concrete, walking towards the door of the government building. Unfortunately Beast Boy's explanation did not warrant much of a response from the Coluan, less he divert his attention from the task at hand.

"It may have something to do with your era's political system, as I understand the position of Mayor is fairly low in executive power." He said and entered the door. "And that may be the best option considering what is going on, as we do have legitimate business to discuss."
