章 48: Chapter 48

Inside the lab, while he was sweeping up some broken glass. Jason was under the glare of the woman who broke it in the first place. Standing tall with her short styled hair and what he assumed to be some sort of uniform. She wore a red and blue suit with golden trims that formed a star on her chest.

"Do you want a chair or something?" He finally asked as she literally stood there never once taking her eyes off him.

"You look younger than I thought you would." She stated.

'First you break through the window and just watch me clean up your mess, only to ignore me when I talk to you?' Jason thought to himself. It wasn't what he expected to see the first thing in the morning.

Since what was named the Battle of New York, the world basically hopped on a roller coaster. From praising the heroes to actively hunting them down. The world was unable to decide if they should have them or arrest them like Spiderman. Even himself was being hunted down, not that anyone could currently piece together his identity, so there was a ten million dollar bounty on his head.

"Who are you anyways? Besides a woman who likes to break and enter by smashing through the windows." Jason asked again.

"Where is the princess?" She asked.

"Surrounded by seven muscular men...wait, that's the wrong princess. She is in the castle guarded by a knight who practices his 'sword' with her." Jason cracked a joke.

He knew who she meant as he could tell she wasn't completely human and by that fact she flew. His vision also told him she was a hybrid of human and kree DNA since it looked similar to both races. Since naturally the only kree he knew was Ronan the Accuser, Jason had no intentions of telling her of Lala's location.

"You didn't deny knowing which princess I was talking about? So you must know her real identity."

"Would you believe me if I say I am just the part time janitor that daydreams in this place?"

"No," Carol Danvers shook her head.

"Shame." Jason said before placing his palm on her head before she could react and knocking her out. Catching her body from falling to the ground, he placed her on the couch before calling his phone.

"Dad, can you stop by the lab and arrest a woman for breaking and entering?" Jason asked.

"What are you two doing?"

After walking into Lala's lab, Jason was doing a small bit of investigating after hearing someone falling. Inside he found both Lala and Felicia on the ground and they looked slightly older. Thinking it was just one of Lala's invention mishaps, he didn't put much thought into it, but their positions were really suggestive.

"Nothing, Hon." Felicia was the first to answer. "Why don't you go back to your interview."

"Yeah, Dear. It was just a small miscalculation." Lala tacked on.

Nodding while feeling slightly strange with how they answered. He wondered what Lala was working on and how Felicia was caught in it. So far she hasn't been caught up in one, but she acted like she experienced it countless times before.

'Strange.' Jason thought before rushing out as he heard calls for help.

Back in the lab after getting up, Felicia dusted herself off.

"I thought Hub was off planet with your Father for the week?" She asked Lala as she helped her stand up. "He also looked a bit younger."

"Well, that is a given. I doubt we are in our time period." Lala commented.

She waved her arms out around the lab, which was vastly different to them. To them some of the machinery was outdated or missing. Even the photos of their family were missing, not to mention the article of Jason's debut as Superman.

Walking over to the corner where a scrapbook was tucked onto the shelf, instead of news and clipping filled with Superman. It only mentions the blur and the latest is about his help during the Battle of New York.

"We are ten years in the past." Lala said as she calculated the dates.

"Great," Felicia replied in a tired voice. "How long will it take for you to get us back to our time. I don't know Hub's abilities at this time and knowing him. It won't be long before he suspects something is off."

"A few hours at most." Lala replied with a shrug. "It will take a bit of time to rebuild and redesign from scratch."

Sighing as she rubbed her forehead, Felicia could only nod. "I just hope we don't run into our past selves. Hub already going to be ticked we time traveled."

"Jason, won't be mad, he will be furious. You know how he gets when dimensional and time travel is involved." Lala commented lightly.

Only to see the lab door open and a pair of themselves standing there.

"Well this could have been better." The older Felicia commented.

On the other side of the states, Jason is currently blowing out a forest fire like a birthday candle. Frowning as multiple fires began to pop up lately, yet besides a metal rod. He couldn't find who was making these man made forest fires.

"This is just getting stranger." He mumbled as he held up the metal rod that was glowing intensely. "Is it made by the same person who made Felicia keychain?"

No matter how he cooled it off, it would soon reheat itself. When he tossed it into water and beside a pile of steam and cracks in the rod, it glowed as if it was in a forge. Choosing to crumble it into a small metal bead, since freezing it with his breath didn't work. It thawed itself out of the ice after a few minutes.

Luckily, by crushing it into a ball, it seemed to break the enchantment and the rod rapidly cooled off. After a few minutes, he had a small metal ball and zero clues as who was causing this. Well besides a magician who seems to want to cause havoc.

'I hope they will show themselves soon.' Jason thought as no matter where he looked, he couldn't find a single clue.
