Hi everyone! So I've had this idea ever since the episode where we found out Kaldur is evil, and I think I've developed it enough to where it won't fall in on itself. Yes, it's very…obvious? Something like that. But I know that I would read it just because it's a sweet little Kaldur romance. Very fluffy. Anywho, here it is!

Kaldur's POV
"Blood is thicker that sea water," I said, right before shooting a rocket at my old mentor. I jumped into an escape tunnel, not caring whether the rocket hit its target. I slid down the tunnel and landed on my feet. I heard footsteps and spun around as Nightwing walked out of the shadows.
"Just you and me, old friend," I said with a sneer, raising my water bearers.
"No!" someone shouted from the tunnel I had come through. The person came out; it was Superboy. "It's a regular reunion special," he said.
I raised myself from the crouch I was in, letting my water bearers dissolve. "Fine," I said. "You can take me down. Or you can save everyone from this bomb." I gestured to the support beam the bomb was stuck on. "I am told it is quite impressive." Superboy growled and lunged at me.
"WAIT!" someone shrieked from the tunnel.
"Yet another interruption? I need to get out of here!" I thought.
The person popped out of the tunnel; it was girl. She had long blonde hair pulled into a braid; and she wore a white, long-sleeved shirt and white pants. The one spot of color on her was the purple and silver stone she had on a bracelet on her left arm. I had a vague impression of her joining the team right before I left. I believe she was a…mage? And she also fought with knives if I remembered correctly.
"Wait," she said again in a normal voice.
Nightwing glared at her. "You shouldn't have come Sylvia. You aren't involved in this."
The girl, Sylvia apparently, glared right back. "Well I did, because I knew you two would be idiot boys and not try to reason with him." She turned towards me. "Kaldur'ahm," she said gently. I shivered slightly. No one had used that tone of voice with me since Tula died. "I only knew you for a few days, but I know that you aren't like this." She started walking towards me. "I know that you're upset over the death of Tula, and that Aquaman lied to you about your father. But everyone makes mistakes. You have to understand that. Even if you do stay evil…"
I tuned out as she continued talking. I could tell that as soon as she was finished, Nightwing and Superboy would attack. I needed to get out right now; the bomb was going to go off any minute now. Sylvia was now within arm's reach of me. I made a split second decision, and lunged forward. I grabbed Sylvia and shocked her. She slumped into my arms, unconscious. Nightwing stepped forward.
"I wouldn't do that if I were you old friend. One more shock like that from me, and Sylvia will die," I said, moving towards the water. "If I were you, I'd focus on the bomb." Then I jumped into the water, dragging the girl with me. I swam through the underwater tunnel. My ship was at the end, waiting for me. I sped up to catch it. It was hard with the girl dragging behind me though. I could have let her go to drown, but I didn't. She might have valuable information about the team that she would reveal with a little…persuasion. And it kept the others from following me. I latched onto my ship as it sped past, and it took off into the air. I slid through the hatch on the roof, pulling the girl behind me. I smiled as I heard the distant explosion.
"To my father's ship," I told the captain. Then I turned back to the girl. Time to see what secrets she held.
Well that's the first chapter. Kinda short, but I have a lot of stories I want to start/update, and I only have one day to do it. So as always, please review!
