"M'gann, you there?" Nightwing asked me over the phone.
"Yes I'm setting up a telepathic link," I answer.
"Good."
'So what is it?' I ask him via the link.
'The cave…Kaldur blew it up,' Nightwing responds quickly.
'What?' I gasp.
'They also took a few prisoners…' he trails off.
'Who are they?' I ask already knowing, but not wanting to admit that I know.
'Jamie, Bart, and Gar.'
I shut off the link not wanting to hear anymore. In the last few weeks I've lost everything, La'gann, Artemis, the cave, Gar…Oh gosh Gar!
Hot tears run down my green cheeks. What if I loose him like I lost Artemis? Kaldur is ruining my life. I used to look up to him as a leader, but now I don't even want him to live.
I will kill Aqualad, I will get my life back, and I will save La'gann and Garfield, I will!
Cheshire
"We had our differences, but Artemis was my sister. And I loved her. I should have taken better care of her. Protected her from you for starters." I snap.
"Yeah, well, too late for that now, little girl." Crusher responds.
"But it's not too late to take vengeance on her killer. Aqualad is mine." I shout.
"The son of Black Manta cannot kill Sportsmaster's daughter. Not without running it by me first. I can't let this stand, or everyone will think I'm a punk! You can have Aqualad. I want a reckoning with Manta." Crusher responds walking away.
I stare down at my sister's grave and my mom grieving in front of it.
I will get my revenge, I will!
M'gann
That was his job, and he didn't even care, why he didn't try I'll never know. You'd think that out of all of us Wally would be the most apt for revenge, but his grieving was fairly short lived.
Wally's girlfriend had been killed, but yet he didn't make an attack on the traitor that had taken her life.
I make my way to Mount Justice, or rather its ashes. I have lived here so long; this is my home, where will I live now? Where will Gar live? Where will Conner live?
I sigh as Conner walks up and stands next to me.
"Where are the others?" he asks.
"I don't know," I answer moving closer towards the ruble.
"M'gann we'll get Gar and La'gann back," he promises me.
"No we won't! Nightwing doesn't even care, no one does! It's been forever since La'gann was captured and have you seen anyone trying to save him? I haven't," I mumble.
"Nightwing does care, we all do."
I shake my head and wish that someone else would hurry and show up, I can't take this tension anymore.
My hopes and dreams come true when Cassie joins us.
"Wow!" she gasps. "This is…wow!"
I turn away from the sight not being able to take it anymore.
"He'd been watching his mom," Conner whispers as if it will comfort me, but instead I gasp. I had no clue that he watched the tapes; I didn't even know that he had them. I still thought that they were somewhere in my room, but he must have found them, and now they were gone with everything else.
I bite my lip trying so hard not to cry. Cassie wraps her arms around me and I cry into her shoulder.
Nightwing finally shows up as do the others.
"What are we going to do?" Batgirl asks.
"Our best," Nightwing answers, and of course I know that, that means that he doesn't have a plan, and that he won't for quite awhile.
Cheshire
Boom! And it falls!
"Wow that was unexpected…" I remark still cradling Lian in my arms as a watch their cave start on fire.
It's no doubt the act of Kaldur trying to ruin everyone's life again.
Lian will never know her aunt. The realization hits me like the fire hits Mount Justice.
My little sister is dead.
I figure that I mine as well go check the sight out, just to see if the fish boy is still there.
Once I finally reach the place the scene before me is highly disappointing.
Aqualad isn't there.
Nightwing spins around at the sight of me.
"Cheshire?" he gasps.
"Awe cat got your tongue?" I muse.
"We aren't in the mood for a fight," he warns.
"Do I look like I am?" I ask turning around and showing him the baby in my backpack.
"Who…what?" he questions shocked.
Huh…I guess know one knew about Lian till now.
"So Roy never told you?" I ask laughing.
"Told us what?"
"That we're married!" I say.
The crowd gives me a round of confused looks.
"And you had a daughter?" Conner asks shocked.
"Now, now I didn't come here to be mugged for information, I simply wanted to see if the fish boy was here," I respond.
"Do you mean Aqualad?" Robin asks.
"Yes."
"Why do you want Aqualad?" Miss Martian asks.
"Why wouldn't I? He killed my sister, so now I'm going to kill him," I say with a smile.
M'gann
It makes sense, and surprisingly I'm glad to see that someone cares, even if it's Cheshire.
"But since Aqualad is not here I should be leaving," she continues beginning to walk away.
I'm surprised that Nightwing doesn't try to catch her, then again what good is he lately anyway?
Since he doesn't make the move it gives me a good accuse to go after her.
I pick up speed and using telekinesis pin her to the ground.
"Hello baby, not fighty? What part of that do you not understand?" she asks checking on the toddler.
"I get it, but I have to make it look like we're fighting so that I can talk to you," I explain.
"Talk about what?" she questions a smirk growing on her face.
"About Aqualad, I want to kill him too."
"Whoa I wouldn't have expected this from the sweet little Martian," she laughs. "So are you suggesting a partnership?"
"Yes, are you in?"
"What's in it for me?" she asks.
"It gives both of us a higher chance of accomplishing our goals," I answer.
"Huh…okay I'm in, but we play by my game," she says.
"Fine," I agree, "Just fine."
Gar, La'gann, I'm coming for you!
So to be honest, I had to give up on a fic to write this, but due to the fact that no one was reading it, I don't feel very guilty XD I really hope that you guys enjoy this, and don't worry I'll never give up on it as long as you review. And obviously, this is going to be contradicted by the show, but we'll just ignore that! So please review, and thanks for reading!
P.S. I know that the conversation between Cheshire and Sportsmaster was a little screwed up, but I'm not exactly sure how it should go.
