[Rolling over Michael comes face to face with some odd woman, not unattractive, but kind of not what he was expecting, pondering he hops up and looks around, then panics and runs out of the room]

Action 1 1489 Kramden Road

"SKEETS? WHERE ARE YOU? WHERE ARE MY PANTS? DAMN IT! YOU AREN'T SUPPOSED TO LET ME DRINK THAT MUCH?"

[Michael stomps about the house finally getting dressed in ordinary clothes but looking embarrassed]

"SKEETS? THIS ISN'T FUNNY!.... Skeets? This..... Doesn't look like Vegas, or somewhere I'd pull something stuu....."

[He stops staring at the photos and blinks]

"Ok... Wait... Either I'm having a weird dream..." [He pinches himself] "Or I got kidnapped in some funky... I MADE THE BIG TIME! Wait... Isn't that a bad thing?"

Phone 1

"Operator, this is the famous super hero Booster Gold. Now, I will gladly come and autograph any memorabilia you want if you can tell me just where I am or at least put me in contact with the Justice League. Or the Justice Society. Or really any major super hero group and or their publicist. Or Skeets... Where is he? He probably knows where my suit is... Anyways! Just uh.. Please hurry! I'm borrowing some clothes and this place is kinda creepy."

Action 2 Around town

[After being creeped out by drone wife for a bit Booster needed to get out, armed with nothing more than his confusion, stupid grin and lost expression he went out into the streets of Mayfield]

"Man, whenever this happens to Batman or Superman people respond a heck of a lot quicker...."

"So we just need like one of the uh... Mind control guys.. You know, or maybe a Martian or something. Right?"

Well, yes. _{( she laughs, at that. )} I'm here, but I can't use telepathy at the moment...

"Errr.... Jon? Are you playing a joke on me? Sounding all like a cute girl then you maybe Bats and the other JLI guys jump out and go SURPRISE! or something?"

You know my Uncle J'onn? Of course you do, you said you were in the League! Well, he's not here, but I am. I'm M'gann--that is, Miss Martian.

"Really? He never mentioned anything about family, well good for him! Guy always needed someone to loosen up with. But he's not here, huh? You're not on one of the kids teams, are you? So many to keep up with...."

I am, actually! But we're not all here, either...

In any case, right now it seems almost impossible to contact the League.

"Well uh... Who do we got? Maybe Bats? Or Steel? If Blue Beetle were still alive he'd have something thrown together..."

[He sighs a bit]

Neither, I'm afraid. Superboy is here, though!

"But... Like.. None of the science guys is what you're saying?"

Not that I know of, no.

"Well, uh, do you know Jon's mind thing trick thingers he did? You know... With the whole eye thing and then the knowing stuff people know?"

Usually, yes. Unfortunately, when we arrived here, most abilities normal humans don't have were blocked.

"Yeah, they made off with Skeets and my suit too. Huh... Know any planning type geniuses?"

Well, there is Mr. Luthor...

"Uh, how about ones who WON'T stab us in the back? I uh... Had some bad business dealings with him a while ago."

I know we shouldn't trust him, but we all are kind of in the same situation, so if he can help us find a way out...

"Nono... I know what you're saying, but, it seems like, there may be other super geniuses or something here too. Right?"

Actually, yes! There's a lot of people here, and from what I've seen quite a few of them are talented in different ways. So someone else probably can help.

"See! Now a plan begins! So like! You know the people here! Can I trust you with the important job of finding some super genius or something that isn't bald and prone to going crazy on every other Thursday?"

I can definitely try. Leave it to me.

"OK! We put our heads together and we'll be out of this in no time!"

I certainly hope you're right about that.

"Meg.. Can I call you Meg? I've been doing this a while, and the best way to loose is to give up hope. Even if it lands you 50 fights against the Joker where he nearly kills you each and every time, or worse, cause if you hope, you have a shot at something more."

O-oh? Yes, of course you can. I mean, I think that's the best way of looking at it. If we can get everyone else here to think the same way, I bet we'd have a chance.

"Exactly! Just need someone to take charge and do that! And.... I have no idea who that'd be. You sure your uncle isn't around?"
