Chapter 1- From Bad to Worse

Don't ask me how I got my powers because I have no idea. Well I sorta do but not really, as in I know how I got them but not what happened to cause it. Okay that was even confusing to me and I know what happened, so lets just start at the beginning.

I was walking home from my school, Happy Harbor, its really nice, like my house looks across the water. It's so beautiful. That's when I walked by an alley and a man grabbed me by the waist and covered my mouth to muffle my panicked scream. He whispered creepily into my ear

"Don't worry sweetheart, this will only take a minute."

'oh please just beat me up' I thought only hoping that it wouldn't be the first thing in my head when he said that.

"STOP!" Someone yelled from behind, my captor turned us around to see who it was. Once I had stopped stumbling I looked to see that Aquaman and Aqualad standing there.

"Let the girl go or we'll have to use force." Aquaman said in a strong voice. Aqualad's hand twitched, ready to move at any moment.

"Just try and stop me fish stick!" He yelled wiped out something from his jacket. I only saw it for a second, it was a veil of a glowing blue liquid with a long needle on top, before it was stabbed into the base of my neck injecting with the serum. It made my body go icy. He pushed me to the ground as he ran way, as my head hit the ground Aquaman ran past me to get my once captor.

"Are you alright?" I heard a voice from above me and a strong but gentle hand on my shoulder lifting me from the ground so I was sitting on my knees. Aqualad was kneeling beside me looking concerned. I nodded my head in my dazed state. Looking into the pale green eyes of one of my saviors.

"Can you stand?" he asked gently

"I think so." I mumbled softly, I slowly got to my feet with Aqualad, when I stood up straight my legs gave out on me and I collapsed. Aqualad caught me before I hit the ground and held me against his chest, making sure I would not get hurt even more.

"Sorry" I told him as I look to the ground.

"Why apologize for something that you can not help?" He smiled at me. He pushed some of my bright red hair out of my face, I smiled then looked to the ground in embarrassment.

"The man has been arrested, and is about to be questioned" Aquaman said from behind us. I jerked away from Aqualad and I fell on butt in the process.

"Your highness if it is no trouble I would like to take her home safely to make sure nothing else happens to her." Aquaman looked at him for a second then smiled.

"Alright, and miss I am very sorry for what happened to you today."

"Could have been worse." I told him with a half smile.

Aquaman let out a chuckle and Aqualad and I were on our way to my house.

"Thank you by the way, for saving me and walking me home." I said glancing at him for a second and looking down again. Before he could say anything I saw my house.

"oh we are here." I walked to my front door completely unprepared for what was in my living home. My parents have been murdered and were on the ground in unnatural positions. I let out a terrified scream and Aqualad grabbed me and pulled me to his chest to try to hid me from this massacre. He patted my hair in a way to comfort me.

"I will call Aquaman." He pressed his belt and it glowed for a second before deeming.

A few minutes later Aquaman was at the scene and was talking to Aqualad a couple feet away discussing what to do.

"I think I should bring her back to Mount Justice, because someone is obviously after her." Aqualad explained to his mentor.

"Alright but tomorrow I will have to stop by to question her." He negotiated to his protegee.

"understood." Aqualad nodded and walked over to me. I stood as he reached me.

"I am taking you somewhere safe until this matter is resolved." I only nodded my head not able to comprehend what all has happened this day, first I am attached, then I find my parent mulishly slaughtered in my home.
