Tadashi cried out in horror as Alexander flew into the black hole. He'd read up on the team, he knew that Alexander's power was supposed to be limited resurrection, but how limited? Was it something that could take care of spaghettification?

Gohan acted first, flying in to hold Stardust's attention, and Alexander was gone, and Superboy was busy holding the drill in place. Someone had to activate it. Someone had to help.

Tadashi took off across the broken ground, taking to the air to avoid stumbling and falling. He swung himself into the driver's seat, scanning the instructional diagram and froze.

He'd spent his life building things to help people. He'd spent the last several years designing and constructing a nursebot, and here he was aiming a mining drill at someone's back. No it wouldn't kill her, and yes, she'd just murdered someone in front of him and intended to murder an entire planet-worth of people and then more, but...

The padding on the handles of the machine caught fire and Tadashi recoiled with a yelp. The flames shot up higher, but the padding crumbled away before the metal got too hot to manipulate.

He had to do this. Someone had to do this, and it was him, and this was how he could help.

Tadashi swallowed hard, aimed, and fired.
