Disclaimer: I will only say this once, I do not the Justice League.

Red Earth
Chapter One

"Hey!" I shout at some idiot who came crashing into me, literally out of nowhere. "Just what the hell do you think you're doing?"

I stand up and face a buff guy with a black shirt that held the Superman logo. It was one of those Justice League sidekicks. I look around my beautiful garden and find most of it destroyed. I clench my fists and glare at the guy viciously.

"You will pay for destroying my property," I state coldly and walk over to him. He seemed a bit dazed but that did not matter to me. All of those hours I spent in my garden were now wasted. Thrown out the window.

The sidekick seems to snap out of his daze and quickly stands up. He stares at me for a few seconds before saying, "I'm sorry but you need to evacuate, this area is not safe."

The guy then begins jogging away. I clench my fist and a wall of hard, thick, earth appears before him making him crash straight into it.

"Did you not hear what I said?" I ask as a huge red android decides to crash into my garden and utterly destroy everything! I clench my fists and teeth as earth encompasses the metalloid and the sidekick. I make the sidekicks earth stronger than steel, I was positive he was the one with superhuman strength. "You two will fix my garden!"

I had worked tirelessly on my garden for months! How could it be so easily ruined? Four other sidekicks enter the scene and are immediately enveloped in earth.

"Just who do you people think you are?" I ask coldly in boiling anger. "Do you think you have any rights coming here and destroying my home?"

"We are the Justice League's Team and we have no time for this!" A really young kid with tinted sunglasses states dryly. "Megan, do something!"

The 'Team' turns to the green Martian. "I-I can't read her mind!"

"Has anyone told that going into someone's head is a major privacy intrusion on Earth?" I ask in a wry tone. "Although I don't think you would know that, would you now?"

The Martian gets a guilty look on her face. It seemed as though she had this conversation before.

"We do not want to harm you," the dark-skinned sidekick with golden eyes tells me calmly. "We are sorry that we have destroyed your home."

"You children have toyed around enough!" The android shouts in rage.

I crush it with a wall of hard earth without a second thought; it wasn't even human to begin with. The sidekicks gape at me in horror, disgust and shock. I roll my eyes skyward and remove the earth wall to reveal the crushed red android with a very human-well as much as an android can look human while crushed into a tiny million pieces-looking android coming out of it.

"That's why I couldn't read his mind!" The Martian states with wide eyes, she turns to me. "How did you know?"

I shrug. "Which one of you idiots is going to clean this up and replant my garden?" I ask clenching my fist. "None of you will be leaving while my place is still like this. Do you five have any idea of who I am? I can have you stripped from being heroes and tossed into jail for the rest of your pathetic lives."

"Well then," the scrawny kid says while glaring at me. "Who are you?"

"Alcina Terah, the sole heir to the Terah industries." I say and begin walking into my house. "I expect my garden to be as it was in twenty four hours. If you leave my garden like this I will personally hunt you down, you five have no idea of what I can do."

Once I'm in my doorstep I snap my fingers and release the sidekicks.

"Wait a sec, you don't really expect us to-"

I cut him off by slamming my door closed, as well as answering his question.

I stare at my clock anxiously, five more minutes until the twenty four hours were up. I would personally hunt the sidekicks down if they had left my garden in shambles.

Tick, tock. Tick, tock.

It was as if the clock was mocking me. I couldn't take it anymore! I stroll out of my house to find three passed out sidekicks. The only ones awake were the Martian and the dark-skinned guy and they seemed to be having a lively conversation. The earth on my garden was in its perfect shape and a few flowers were sprouting, but that was not enough. That was nowhere close to how I had it. I grit my teeth and stomp my foot, blooming flowers and trees appear where I had them.

"You have failed to do as I asked," I state coldly startling the two sidekicks; also awakening the sidekick with the Superman shirt, I'm pretty sure he was a kryptonian. "You will now pay the price."

I snap my fingers and send the two sleeping sidekicks ten feet in the air. They both awaken just in time to roll out the impact of landing on the especially hard ground.

"We can just defeat you and take you in for assault," the young kid with sunglasses growls out. "It's not like you're nothing more than a spoiled child with slight control over the earth. "

"It's not like you can defeat me," I say with a cold, sly smirk. "And FYI I am anything but a spoiled brat." Vines shoot out of the ground and snake themselves around the young kid's feet. "Oh, did I forget to mention that I was multi-talented?"

"Just what the hell are you?"

"Me?" I ask rhetorically. "I am a mere successful lab experiment, created for nothing but power. You wouldn't understand that as the Leagues little pet sidekicks, would you?"

"I will have no mercy on you!" The child shouts and lunges at me while throwing exploding spheres at me. I easily dodge his attacks with a few flips and land across from him.

"You are no match for me," I say and stare at him straight in the eye. "None of you are any match for me. You should go home and get ready to face my lawyer."

"Robin, no!" The dark-skinned guy shouts in a futile attempt to stop his teammate.

Robin lunges at me. "I really don't feel like toying with you sidekicks," I say while dodging and blocking Robin's attacks. He must be Batman's sidekick. I decide to take an offensive attack and destroy the little Robin's ego.

I land a hard kick on his side and kick his gut. I roundhouse kick his unwounded side and finish him with a hard kick over his head. I turn to the four wide-eyed sidekicks. "Who is next?"

The four sidekicks take defensive positions. If that is what they wanted, they would be crushed. A circle of fire forms around the Martian rendering her useless. I knock the speedster into the air with my wind as the leftover sidekicks lunge at me. I dodge the kryptonian's attack by sliding under him and roll to the right as the dark-skinned sidekick slams his weapon hard on the spot where I had been a few seconds before. I quickly stand up I slam my foot down hard on the dark-skinned guy's side and dodge the kryptonian's attack once more.

"Aqualad, stay behind me," the kryptonian orders, his eyes never leaving me as his teammate Aqualad slowly stands up.

The kryptonian lunges at me again but this time I drop on my back and kick him off into the air-probably in the direction of my house-using his momentum against him. I do a hand stand and jump away as Aqualad attacks me with his blue weapons, wait a minute, was that water?

I smirk and extract the water from his weapon and my flowers. I envelop him in a sphere of fast moving water. I hear a loud crash behind me and turn to find half of my house utterly destroyed.

"Wow," I state monotonously. "Are you after my house too? Too bad for you I never really liked it."

I hear a loud shout as the kryptonian jumps at me. I take a few steps back as he lands hard on front of me. I quickly raise my leg and kick down on his shoulder; successfully dislocating it and I pick up a green mineral off the ground that was wrapped in a green vine in a form of a long necklace. "Here," I say as I put it on him, completely draining him of his powers. "Doesn't that look wonderful on you?"

Well, that was that.

I take a quick step to the right and dodge Batman's attack.

"It never ceases to amaze me how you can dodge my attacks without even seeing me," Batman tells me as he throws a fast punch at me. I easily dodge his attack and take another step to the right. "Let them down."

"I have 360 vision," I say solemnly. Hah, yeah right. I drop Aqualad and the speedster, remove the flames from around the Martian and rip off the Kryptonite from the Kryptonian. I drop the Kryptonite on the floor and let it sink far, far underground. "Happy? I was only toying with them."

Robin slowly stands up and I'm guessing his eyes widen as he spots Batman. "B-Batman, what are you doing here?"

"You five have been missing for over twenty four hours." Batman states monotonously. "What is the reason for that?"

"I made them fix my garden after they completely destroyed it," I say while dodging a fast roundhouse kick. "They did not do nearly enough so I fixed it myself and sent them home. But 'Robin' thought he could take me in for 'assault' and attacked me. I was merely defending myself from their attacks."

"That sounds like you," Batman says and turns to the sidekicks as they all stand up around each other. "I see you have met my niece Alcina, you should do as she says before you anger her."

I snort. "I don't want them here any longer," I say as I step hard on the ground. My garden returns to its beautiful form. "I have once again fixed it myself. Get the hell off my property. All of you."

"Why don't you join the Team?" Batman asks. "You have great potential."

"I am not interested in being anyone's pet, thank you very much."

"Why don't we make a deal?" Batman asks me. "We'll have a fight, if I win you join the Team but if you win I'll make your father let you see Hei for a whole week."

"You do realize that I have the greatest advantage?"

"That is why you will be blindfolded."

"I don't need my eyesight to see," I smirk. "Get ready to talk to my father, uncle. Tell your sidekicks to get out of the way."

"We are not sidekicks!"

"Whatever. Pets."

"Quit toying with them," Batman tells me as he wraps a blindfold around my eyes. "They are no longer sidekicks and they are not pets."

"Why don't we make this a bit more interesting and say that the first person who touches any of my flowers loses?" I ask. "Or are you scared of losing to your own niece?"

"Fine but you can't use your powers."

"If I can't use my powers then you can't use your toys."

"Fine. The Team will be the judges."

I shrug and take a defensive stance as Batman crouches ever so slightly.

This didn't feel right, but I had to see Hei. I would do anything to see him once again. I easily dodge Batman's attacks while missing my flowers by a foot.

"Do you really want to see Hei so bad you would fight against me and risk joining the Team?"

"You sure do know how to get to me, don't you?" I ask and send a very solid kick to his head that he blocks. I do a few flips and land away from him, barely missing a daisy. "How do you even know about him? I am one hundred percent sure my father did not tell you."

"I have my ways," Batman tells me. "I also know why you can never see him again. I wonder if H-"

"Shut up!" I growl completely losing my cool. I lunge at him and land a few solid hits before regaining my cool. I do a few flips and land around ten feet away from Batman. "Don't you dare say his name again. Actually don't you dare to even think about him because I will not hold back."

I take a step forward missing a tulip by an inch. I smirk and let out a cold laugh. "You almost had me there," I say and walk around Batman's trap. "I can't believe you fooled me so easily. You don't even have the slightest clue of who Hei is, do you?"

I pick up my ringing phone as Batman lunges at me. "Hello?" I say as I dodge Batman's kicks and punches.

"Alcina I want you home this instant!" My father shouts so loud I'm pretty sure everyone heard him.

"I am home," I say monotonously. "I'm in my garden with Uncle Bruce."

"Do you know who just called?!"

"I just said I am in my garden."

"It was Hei and do you know what he wanted?!"

I stop dead in my tracks and barely dodge Batman's swift kick. "H-He called?"

"He said he wanted to talk with you! That little imbecile had the guts to call and demand to talk with you!"

I completely stop dead in my tracks. "A-Are you sure it was him?"

"I would recognize that evil voice of his anywhere!"

I block Batman's kick and hit him with one of my own sending him flying a few feet away from me. I do a single hand cartwheel and put more distance between us.

"What did you tell him?"

"The truth."

"What do you mean 'the truth'?" I ask suspiciously.

"I told him that you two would never see each other again even if it killed me. That is a promise and it goes to you too. You will never see Hei ever again!"

"You know what?" I ask. "Maybe I should kill you, that way I would see him whenever the hell I wanted. Maybe it would be for the best if you died, father."

"Don't you dare threaten me Alcina." My father growls at me coldly. "You will regret it."

"That is not a threat. It is a warning but you can also take it as a promise."

I throw my phone as hard as I can away from me and completely forget that I was fighting Batman. Who lands a hard kick on my side making me do a cartwheel on top of a flower to avoid falling on three tulips. Well damn.

"That was completely uncalled for!" I growl out. "Did you not see I was trying to have a conversation with your stupid brother?"

"I won fair and square; I attacked you after you flung your phone away."

"Whatever." I say coldly, and then it hits me. I turn and face Batman. "Hey uncle," I ask sweetly. "Can you get Hei's phone number for me? He called the main Terah estate not too long ago. If you do I will join your little team of pets without a complaint. I'll be your best pet prodigy."

"I will try but no promises."

"That's enough for me, but you have to really try."

"Yeah, ok, now let us go with your new teammates."

I follow Batman to where the sidekicks were standing. Robin was staring at me and Batman with a cold calculating look.

"Team this is your new teammate, Alcina Terah. She will be a great asset to the team and she will cooperate with you."

I send a mental shockwave to the Martian. She then screams in pain. "Stay the hell out of my head," I growl out and stalk towards her. "Because if you don't you might piss me off and then your head will go…boom."

"Alcina."

"Yeah, whatever." I say coolly. "It won't happen again as long as she doesn't try to invade my privacy."

"Batman, are you sure this isn't a mistake?" Robin asks his mentor. "Yes, she is powerful but she is…"

"Like a ticking bomb," I finish for Robin. "Tick, tock. Say one wrong thing and I might explode on your face."

"I am sure," Batman states. "She will not hurt anyone as long as she still wants what she asked for."

I look down and clench my fist. "Yeah, whatever. I'll cooperate as long as none of them piss me off."

"Anyway, Alcina," Batman tells me. "Your new teammates are Robin, Aqualad, Miss Martian, Superboy, and Kid Flash. I trust you five will get her settled in."

Robin nods as Batman disappears. Robin turns to me. "Just because Batman trusts you does not mean that we do."

"To be frank, I really don't care," I state coldly. "I'm only going to hang around until I get what I want."

Robin turns to Miss Martian. "Let's go home."

Miss Martian nods and a red ship appears and lands on my garden. Oh, well. Everyone follows the Martian into her ship; I, being the last person to enter. The ship wasn't made of metal, I felt half blind.

"Your ship," I say. "What is it made of?"

"It is organic," Miss Martian tells me as I take the only empty seat next to Aqualad. "She seems to like you. Are you Martian?"

"I am lots of things; maybe that is what confused your ship into believing I was Martian."

"Welcome to the Team Alcina, my name is Kaldur'ahm but my friends call me Kaldur."

"Hello, Kaldur'ahm. Why do you not consider me the enemy like Robin does? I did put you in a bubble of fast moving water without knowing that you were an Atlantean," I say. "You have every reason to hate me, so why don't you?"

"Because I would rather have you as an ally instead of an enemy, you would be a catastrophic nemesis," Aqualad tells me. "Robin is just uneasy about you."

"Robin is only uneasy about me because I beat him in a fight, or is it because he knows about me." I look at Aqualad. "Why aren't you uneasy about me? I did beat you and your teammates in a fight, this Martian ship likes me, Miss Martian cannot read my mind, are those not reasons enough? I bet you just are great at controlling your emotions."

"I am great at controlling my emotions, but you do not seem to be the type of person that engages in combat for any unreasonable reason."

"Destroying my garden was a pretty unreasonable reason, since I can make it reappear in seconds."

"But it was like your home wasn't it?" Aqualad asks me. "You cared more about your garden than your own house."

I shrug in response. "I don't believe I have a home but my garden was like my own little sacred place."

"Tell me, what is the extent of your powers?"

"Way above your imagination," I say with a bit of a sarcastic snort. "The only thing I'll tell you is that whatever you think the extent of my powers is, it is way, way, beyond it."

"Who is 'Hei'?"

"None of your business," I say coldly after pausing for a few seconds. "You wouldn't understand," I add with a sigh. "No one does, and I'm pretty sure no one ever will."

After the ship lands, I immediately get up and follow the others out. I had said enough. I quietly follow my 'teammates' into their secret clubhouse. After a few minutes of walking I find myself with the others and Red Tornado around a table with all of the android parts.

"It was clearly created to sabotage or destroy you," Aqualad tell Red Tornado.

"Agreed."

"Is that why you wouldn't help us?" Miss Martian asks Red Tornado.

"No, this was your battle, I do not believe it is my role to solve your problems for you nor you should solve mine for me.

"But if you're in danger," Miss Martian begins to say.

"Consider this matter closed," Red Tornado states and begins walking away.

"Batman, Aquaman, and Flash," Kid Flash says. "They would've all jumped in to fix things."

"Guess if we're going to have a babysitter, a heartless machine is exactly what we need."

"Dude, harsh." Kid Flash tells Robin.

"And inaccurate," Red Tornado adds. "I have a heart. Carbon-steel alloy. I also have excellent hearing."

"Aha, right." Robin says a bit awkwardly. "Sorry, I'll strive to be more accurate."

"And more respectful."

"Speedy was so wrong," Kid Flash tells Robin. "This team thing..."

"Might just work out," Robin finishes.

Aqualad walks over to me. "Come on," he tells me. "I'll show you around and take you to your room."

"Yeah, sure." I say and follow Aqualad.
