The debate was strong in the HQ of the Legion of Superheroes. Their mentor, Cosmic Boy, didn't think such a small squad could go in blind with too many risks. The Xudarian was ready, as was Ferro Lad, and even Maxima who had just joined their ranks was ready to rip the machine man apart. That's when a loud noise shook the base. It was the hangar door for the star cruisers. Cosmic Boy sat in his Nth metal hover chair and put his hand over his face...

"Please tell me that's not the hangar doors..?" Rokk almost begged. 

He pulled holographic screens up, showing several angles of the headquarters and the hangar door. Ultra Boy had taken a smaller star cruiser, immediately after damaging the right wing of the larger team sized ship on his exit.

"Well team... Sol has decided to go lone wolf and speed off to sector 2811 without the rest of us. He's in my personal cruiser..." he paused for a moment, "..so he'll get there within the hour. On his way out he damaged the other ship and we're stuck here for at least as long as it'll take him to get to Brainiac's location. Hopefully Ultra Boy doesn't get himself killed before we get there..." Cosmic Boy said sternly.

"Little sister, can't you find another way?" Sol asked the seven year old blonde girl running around him in the large Daxamite city.

"No! What am I s'posed to do?" she asked from the top of a statuesque piece of art in the vegetation that passed for these aliens parks. 

"Just stop growing up for awhile. And get down here. Mom is cooking your favorite tonight..." Sol began to say before she cut him off.

"WE HAVE TO GET HOME RIGHT NOW!" she screamed and ran off towards their home.

"Iana, what would I do without you?" Sol said laughing and jogging towards his little sis.

Ultra Boy had the equivalent of the pedal to the metal in the cockpit of this one man cruiser. It was basically a dark purple muscle car crossed with a space ship with small wings and landing gear. Sol had a lot on his mind. His parents. His kid sister. Seeing his world explode. He glanced down at the scanners and noticed he had entered sector 2811. Soon, Daxam would be avenged.
