So this is the continuation of Reunion Yay X3
I do not own Young Justice or any of it's characters. That right goes to DC Comics and WB. I own only this story, the Danian race, Caroline, Jaqueline and Carmen Ericson
She lied in the bed and looked into the ceiling. She then sat up and flicked her short black hair back. She lied down again and looked into the ceiling. She could hear someone rustle with a bundle of keys outside the door and closed her eyes. She smiled slightly to herself and sat up. A guard opened the cell door and looked at her.
"You're getting released early, you lucky bastard" he said with a grumpy voice and she jumped down from the bed. He shoved her past him and locked the door again. He put handcuffs on her and she walked with him.
"If you ask me, then you don't deserve it. You and your kind should be kept behind bars for as long as you live"
"But it's not up to you, is it? It's up to the higher powers" she asked and looked at him. Her voice was rough and he stopped up. Then he shook his head and pushed her to the exit. The guard there looked at her.
"Prisoner number 1065. No name and no belongings… who are you little girl?" he asked and she looked up at him. Her eyes were sparkling green and she just smiled.
"I'm nobody" she said and her hands were released. Body shape changed and she adjusted her hair again.
"How did you?" both the guards looked at her in surprise and she smiled.
"I've been able to use my powers for a long time. But I didn't need to get out of here, so I didn't do anything" she reached up to her collar and took it off, handing it to the first guard. She then turned around and walked out the front door. She sighed and adjusted her hair again. She was handed something that looked a ragged cloth and she smiled.
"Freedom…" she looked up into the sky and felt the sun tickle her skin. She moaned quietly and started to walk. She looked back at the prison and cracked her neck.
"It's much better than I'd thought" she smiled and her eyes turned blue "Now to find the dear Jackie" she said and walked down the road. Her hair turning long and wavy. She smiled and put her hair up into a ponytail and looked around. She walked over to some trees and took off her prison clothes. She looked at the piece of cloth she had received in the prison and smiled. It transformed into a pair of worn out jeans and white tank top. She looked at her feet and decided it was time for some new shoes. She sighed again and started walking towards the city. She could feel the snow falling on her arms and shivered.
#a new jacket too# she giggled slightly and kept walking.
"Hush little baby don't say a word, Momma's gonna buy you a mocking bird" she sang quietly and put her hands in her pockets. A wind came in and messed up her hair and she smiled. She turned her hair blonde and kept on walking.
"And if the mocking bird won't sing, Momma's gonna buy a diamond ring" she looked up into the sky and saw something move. She stopped singing and crooked an eyebrow.
"The sky doesn't move like that" she said and shook her head "you're imagining things C" she smiled and started walking again.
M'Gann held her head and bowed forward, making the bio-ship tremble slightly.
"Is something wrong Angelfish?" La'gaan asked and looked at M'Gann.
"I just thought that… no it couldn't have been" she shook her head and looked forward "She's not supposed to come out in another 2 years"
"Who is?" La'gaan asked and M'Gann sighed.
"Did you pick up something Miss M?" Nightwing asked and looked at her.
"I think my mind's playing tricks on me… unless it's 2018" she held her head "because I could swear I just heard Nemesis in my head"
"What?" Nightwing asked and widened his eyes "she escaped from Belle Reve?"
"No… she didn't sound like it anyway, she said something about a new jacket…" M'gann put her hand down and tried to focus.
"Maybe she got released early?" She asked and Nightwing shook his head.
"No… it's too early" he looked forward and closed his eyes. He knew he couldn't think about it since they were linked up. He sighed loudly unknowingly and the others looked at him. They could hear him mumble something they couldn't hear.
"So who's this Nemesis anyway?" La'gaan asked and looked at M'Gann.
"Well… she caused a lot of trouble for the original team a few years back. It's kinda hard to talk about… she had gone insane under torture from the Joker"
"She was also my best friend as a kid" Nightwing said and looked back at them.
"Oh… sorry" La'gaan said and Nightwing looked ahead.
"It wasn't easy seeing her in that state. She even beat one of the teams member's up with a crowbar. She got caught in the end of January 2011 and was to serve 7 years in Belle Reve… however" he stopped in mid sentence and took out a necklace from his belt "she promised me she would be out in 5…"
"But it's been 5 hasn't it? At least, it almost has" M'Gann said and looked ahead "we're almost at the cave"
She walked around in Louisiana and looked for a store that would sell what she was looking for. She found one and went inside. The clerks all looked at her and she smiled slightly to herself. They clerks were mostly male and she knew she looked like a model. She went over and looked at some brown jackets. She sighed when none of them looked like the one she had in mind. She was about o go out again when she saw something to her liking. She walked over and tried it on. It was a simple loose, brown leather jacket. She looked at the price and smiled.
"Perfect" she said quietly to herself "Now for the shoes" she walked to the checkout and paid cash for the jacket. She walked out and looked back at the clerks. They were staring at her and she rolled her eyes.
#not a chance # she thought to herself and walked in the direction of a store with shoes. She looked around and smiled. She could remember most of what she'd seen on one of her rare trips out the prison, a benefit she'd gotten by the fact that her mother paid big time for her to be able to walk around, with guards of course. She'd only been out two or three times, but they had always walked the same route. She found the shoe store and brought a pair of white sneakers. She took them on right away and walked out. She looked around to see if she could find a bus stop. She found the bus stop and looked at were the different busses would go.
"Need to get to Gotham…" she thought to herself. She sighed when she noticed that none of the busses went there, and decided to just walk there. She started walking and got multiple offers from different guys. She just looked at each one of them and smiled when she heard them yell after her. Suddenly she saw a black limousine that she recognized and she went over to it. She looked at Bruce Wayne who looked at her too.
"Need something?"
"Could Ah please get a ride Mister? Ah don't know how else Ah'm supposed to get back to Gotham…" she asked in her most pleading voice, with a slight southern accent, and took control of his mind while asking. He spaced out for a short second and she cursed herself mentally.
"Of course you can, please get in" he said and opened the door. She got in and noticed a black haired boy sitting in there. He looked at her and crooked his eyebrow.
"Who're you?" he asked and she sat down on one of the seats. She crossed her legs and fastened her seat belt.
"Name's Louise" she said calmly and looked at the boy "Ah'm just hitching a ride"
"Bruce gave you a ride? That's hard to believe" he said and crossed his arms.
"Ah can be very persuasive" she said and smiled "what's your name, little boy?" she leaned forward.
"Why should I tell you that?" he asked and leaned back.
"Come on, Ah just told you my name. So why are ya afraid to tell yours?" she leaned back and looked out the window. She could see the boy hesitate in the corner of her eyes, about whether or not he should tell her his name. She looked back at him and rolled her eyes.
"Listen kid, Ah just want someone to talk to while in this car. And it would be so much easier if ya just told me your name. Ah only need your first name" she crossed her arms in the same manner as him and raised an eyebrow "wouldn't ya say so too?"
"Fine, name's Tim" he said and she smiled at him.
"See? Tha' didn't hurt, now did it?" she giggled and closed her eyes "how old are you? You look like you're around sixteen or something" she opened her eyes again and saw the confusion in his face.
"Why do you need to know my age?" he asked and she smiled and leaned forward again.
"Well you see… Ah would like to know how old ya are, because ya look like you're just my lil sis' age" she sat back in her seat and he blushed slightly.
"I'm fourteen" he said and looked away from her. She giggled and looked out the window.
"Wow, we're almost ther' already" she touched the window and widened her eyes in fear as they passed the Asylum. She looked at it for as long she could and Tim raised his eyebrow at it.
"What's so interesting about the Asylum?" he looked back at her and she looked down into the floor of the car and shivered. She wrapped her arms around herself and looked up at him.
"Ah once knew someone in ther', she went completely insane… it was terrifyin'" she said in a shaky and looked at Tim "in the end she didn't even recognize me…" she looked into the floor again.
"I'm sorry to hear…" they sat in silence for the rest of the trip. It was only for a short amount of time, since Alfred stopped up in front of a restaurant for Louise to be able to get something to eat fast.
"Thanks for the ride Mr. Wayne" she smiled at Bruce who had rolled his window down. He looked at her like he was trying to figure out where he had seen her face before.
"Please stop staring like that, Ah'm gettin' all embarrassed" she said and blushed. She smiled and he laughed slightly.
"Sorry, you just look like someone I know"
"Well, Ah've often been told that Ah look like that mod'el Caroline Ericson" she smiled and started to walk in to the restaurant. Bruce looked after her as she walked in.
"Maybe you two look a little too much alike" he said quietly and rolled the window up again. Alfred started to drive away again and Bruce kept on wondering where he'd seen the girl's face before.
She looked behind herself and saw the car driving away. She looked at what the restaurant sold and noticed it was more like a bakery than a restaurant. She smiled and walked up and ordered a cake and sat down, taking of the jacket. She looked around and tried to see if she could find any familiar faces. She didn't find any and sighed. She noticed how cramped the small bakery was and felt claustrophobic. She felt relieved that the seat in front at least wasn't taken; she could at least pretend to have some sort of privacy. She sank down into her seat when she heard the door open. She looked at the door and widened her eyes. She quickly looked away when the man who'd just entered looked her way. She fiddled with her hair and could feel everything in her body doing the exact opposite of what she wanted it to do.
"Here's your Dark Chocolate brownie with Caramel cream miss" a waitress came over and put down the cake.
"Thanks miss" she said and the waitress walked away. She noticed that the man was looking for a seat after he'd ordered. He noticed she was staring on him and noticed the empty seat. He walked over and looked at her.
"Can I sit here?" he asked and she stared into his blue eyes.
"S-sure" she said and looked away again.
"Hey, thanks" he said and sat down. He looked at her as she kept fiddling with her hair and played with the cake in front of her with a fork.
"You know, I'm not dangerous, so you can eat your cake if you want to" he joked and she looked up at him and took a bite out of the cake. He smiled at her and she let go of her hair. She took another bite of the cake and let the sweet sugary taste of the caramel melting on her tongue last for as long as she could. He looked at her and found her way of eating the cake a bit peculiar. She looked at him and raised her eyebrows.
"Ah'm eathing the cahke" she said with her fork in her mouth and he smiled slightly "what sho fhunny?" she took the fork out of her mouth and poked the cake again. She smiled slightly and closed her eyes.
"Nothing. It's just… it's been a long time since I've seen anyone enjoy cake as much as you" he said and looked at her.
"Really? Well… Ah've haven't had any cake for a long time ya see" she looked at the cake and then at him.
"Why?" he asked and looked at the waitress that brought him his cake.
"Ah've been in prison for some time now…" she put some hair behind her ear "no'ing' serious… just stole some things for my lil sis' birthday" she poked the cake and picked out and piece and put it in her mouth.
"Ah I see" he said and took a bite out of his cake "you know, you don't have to tell me about it if you don't want too" he looked her in the eyes and she smiled.
"Thanks. Name's Louise by the way" she said and took out her hand "and you're?"
"Name's Dick" he took her hand shook it "nice to meet you"
"Likewise" she smiled and took a big bite out of her cake "but Ah would like to talk to someone about mah time 'n prison" she looked at him "or at least why Ah went in" she winked at him "just so ya don't go thinking bad things 'bout me"
"Then fire away" he smiled and looked at her, noticing she seemed slightly familiar.
"Sure thing Dick" she giggled "sorry, but ah haven't heard that many names in prison. But anyway, ah only stole some minor things, to give mah lil' sis a good birthday. You see; me and mah sis ain't living at home no more, we didn't like it there" she smiled in her head; she'd planned her cover story for the last six months.
"Why not?" Dick asked and took a piece of his cake.
"Ma never showed us any love, or at least not the one you'd think she'd show. She gave us money for everythin', but never remembered our birthdays. So Ah ran away with my lil' sis. We decided to try and make our own money, and we were doin' just good enough to stay alive but… when mah sis' birthday came… ah just wanted to surprise her"
"So you stole what exactly?"
"A cupcake, a teddy bear, some b'loons, and some other things Ah don't really remember. But Ah got busted and Ah got send ta jail. My lil sis went to an orphanage… and Ah have the feeling that Ma adopted her… but Ah sure hope that my lil sis got adopted by someone who'd actually care 'bout her"
"I can see why" he said and took another bite of his cake.
"You have any siblings?" she asked and took a bite of her cake.
"No… I have no real siblings, but my adoptive father has adopted a boy more, so he's kinda like my little brother I guess" he smiled.
"Ah love my lil' sis. Ah love her more than anything on this here entire planet" she looked at the plate and scooped up some of the caramel cream that hadn't been on the cake. She put the fork in her mouth and looked at Dick.
"Well, your sister lucky to have you then" he smiled at her.
"Guess so. But she'd be better off with someone who didn't steal" she took one last bite of the cake and got up "well, Ah'm done with the cake so… bye" she smiled at him and put on her jacket.
"Bye, hope I see you later" he waved at her as she went out the door.
"Me too" she smiled discretely and walked out. He looked after her and closed his eyes. He smiled to himself and took another bite of his cake.
"Cute" he said "reminds me of Carmen"
So that was chapter one.
Hope that the accent is written okay and that it actually is a southern one...
