HEYE IT IS! The story of Maya's past! Enjoy!

Prologue

There were three people. Two men and one woman, the woman held a crying baby in her arms,"Are you sure we have to do this," she asked as she held the bundle tighter. The woman's pink eyes brimming with tears and silver hair hiding her eyes.

One of the men, with black hair and blue eyes nodded,"We have to. If we do not the Cats will surly get her!"

The other man, with red hair and green eyes, turned right as a shot went off,"They followed us! You have to go now! I'll hold them off!"

The black haired man and the woman changed into two wolves each matching their hair color and ran for a ship in a clearing. The ship took off.

Chapter 1

Maya POV

DECEMBER 27, 5: 03pm

I beamed out into the Cave from Thunder City. Today was the day! I was going to Atlantis! THE ATLANTIS! Kaldur and I had actually been planning this trip for a little while- ever since he had caught me with a book on Atlantis during my first month here on the team- now he wanted me to meet his parents, friends and have dinner with King Odin (Aquaman) and Queen Mera.

I was so nervous, excited and extremely anxious about this whole thing!

Kaldur met me at the Zeta Tube room,"Are you ready?"

I took a deep breath and thought up gills, ability to stand a whole lotta pressure and water resistant clothes like Kaldur's,"Now I am!"

Kaldur smiled and readied the Zeta Tube, the rest of the Team appeared,"Wait up Love birds," Robin called. I could have punched him in the FACE!

Megan, Mary and Artemis all came up and hugged me,"Have a wonderful trip," Megan said.

Artemis winked,"Try not to get too crazy alright!"

I blushed and Mary laughed,"Promise to tell me EVERYTHING!"

I nodded,"I promise!"

Wally said in a whisper to Kaldur," Dude- I envy you!"

Wolf came up to me,"ALPHA, THEY SAY YOU WILL BE GONE FOR A FEW DAYS."

I kneeled down level to my 'pack member',"YES, KEEP THE CAVE AND ALL THE TEAM SAFE."

Wolf whined,"YES MA'MA."

I smiled and stood up,"Good boy," the stalked back over to Kaldur. Kaldur took my hand and we walked into the Zeta Tube, the computer identifying us as we were split apart molecule by molecule.

Water surrounded me, I mean its not like I haven't been underwater with all this pressure or anything. I had, back when the team found out I wasn't Anika Green- but really Maya McDream- A girl who had gone missing- presumably kidnapped. Sure the team had been angry with me, but they got over it, especially when I was kidnapped by Shadow Master- who turned out to be my father. Then there was the fact that he wasn't actually my father- I was actually an Alien from a planet called Prem.

But back to the present, King Orin was waiting for us.

"Welcome," he said clearly, it surprised me- being able to talk under water was a little knew,"It gives me great pleasure to welcome my protégé's teammate and courter."

I felt my face heat up,"T-Thank you, King Odin."

King Odin laughed,"Please- just call me Odin."

I nodded and Kaldur appeared next to me,"My King," he saluted Odin and Odin saluted back,"It is great to see you."

Odin smiled,"And I you," he motioned toward the hallway,"Shall we?"

Kaldur grabbed my hand,"We shall," and we swam out of the Zeta Tube area.

We swam down a few hallways making idle conversation, when Odin said,"Mera and I were hoping that you too could join us for dinner tonight. If that's okay?"

Kaldur looked at me and I smiled,"That sounds great Odin! We wouldn't miss it for the world!"

Kaldur smiled and turned to Odin,"Count on us being there."

Odin's smile widened," Wonderful! We shall see you around seven o clock."

"See you then," I smiled and waved as he swam away.

"I am glad that went well," Kaldur said relived.

I cocked my head at him,"You thought that wouldn't have ended well?"

Kaldur eyes widened and he shook his head,"No, I... I only meant that-"

I giggled and floated over to hug him and give him a peck on the cheek,"I knew what you meant Kal- I just like seeing you at a loss for word sometimes."

Kaldur blushed and grabbed my hand,"Perhaps it is time for you to be at a loss for words."

I raised my eyebrow and he lead me down a hallway. I gasped the city! I looked around,"Oh my gosh! It's beautiful," I had to close my mouth.

Kaldur chuckled and lead me threw the um... Streets,"I'm glad you think of Atlantis so highly."

"You're kidding right," I said,"I don't see how anyone could NOT think this place is amazing."

Kaldur smiled and we swam to his home. I felt my nerves grow again. Kaldur could sense it apparently,"Don't worry," he whispered as he knocked o the door,"My parents will adore you as much as I do."

A middle aged woman with long blonde hair and pale blue eyes, she had wrinkles from smiling a lot and her skin had a warm tan to it,"Kaldur," then she said things in a language that I didn't understand- I think I heard my name somewhere in there- but I'm not sure. Kaldur's mouther motioned us inside and we swam inside.

Kaldur translated for me,"My mother says that she is delighted to meet you and that my descriptions of you to her did you little justice- although I did go quite into detail."

I fought off my rising blush, and turned to Kaldur's mother,"Thank you very much- it's nice to finally meet you."

Kaldur translated for me, and his mother's face brightened. She quickly said things to Kaldur, he replied. Then she scowled and growled a few things. Kaldur translated for me,"I have told my mother of out dinner date with King Odin, and she says I should change," I laughed but then Kaldur looked at me with a glint in his eyes,"She also wants to lend you clothes and do your hair."

I stopped laughing and sighed,"Fine, sure, whatever. I don't mind."

Kaldur translated for his mother, and was probably a bit more respectful. But something wired happened mid-way threw his mothers happy reply. I could understand her- it went from gibberish to English!

"Take Maya up to her guest bedroom and lend her some clothing," Kaldur's mother finished. My mouth dropped open, and Kaldur's mother raised an eyebrow,"Kaldur'ahm is Maya alright?"

Kaldur put his hand on my shoulder,"Maya...?"

I snapped out of it,"I could... Understand her!"

Kaldur and his mother jumped,"Kaldur'ahm! You did not tell me Maya could speak our language!"

Kaldur was about as shocked as me,"She could not... Could you?"

Then it hit me,"I think my body somehow made me able to understand you... Almost like Megan's mind link."

Kaldur's mother smiled,"Well, this is wonderful! Come- let's get you ready Maya!"

I smile and reluctantly followed Kaldur's mother.

***** 6:44 pm***

I looked at myself in the mirror. I was wearing a dark blue outfit (like Tula's) with golden trim. Kaldur's mother had piled my raven hair on top of my head (I had decided to keep my hair black ever since the Shadow Master incident) with small little pearl ornaments. My gift from Kaldur still hanging around my neck, as it had been ever since I received it.

Kaldur's mother let a curled lock of hair frame the right side of my face,"There! You look beautiful Maya!"

I smiled,"Thank you very much, Mrs. Durman," Kaldur smiled proudly as we headed to the place where the dinner was being held. We were a few minutes early, and I jumped when a familiar, yet annoyingly high pitched voice said,"Kaldur! How have you been?"

Kaldur turned with a polite smile,"Tula, Garth it is a pleasure."

Tula nodded," Is this Maya?"

I gave te best smile i could," Yes I am. We've met before. A few weeks ago. Remeber?'

Tula's wheels started to turn,"OH, yes! I couldn't regognize you without the cute ears and tail."

Garth glance at Kaldur," Are you both heading to the diner with our King and Queen as well?"

oh, boy... this is gonna be a looonnngggg night with Tula.

Actually, the diner hadn't been that bad at all. By the time our entrees came I had warmed up to Tula and Garth. Odin and Mera were exelent hosts and kept the mood light. I could tell that Tula and Garth really liked each other, so I was able to enjoy myself more. Tula and I talked most of the night about the differences in land and underwater fashion. It went by so fast that I didn't want the night to end, but sadly it did. Kaldur and I said our good-byes and headed to his home.
