So, this is my first story, and it is in the Young Justice fandom. This is based on a prompt I saw, and I thought of making it into a multichapter fic. I must warn you; I am not going to be able to post until next weekend because of a summer program. Enjoy reading and please leave a review!
Mental simulation was always tiring, if not physically. Every team member remembered the last time, and it took a week to convince them to try it again, without the destined failure. Black Canary nervously paced around the teens. "This is not like the last simulation. This is a teambuilding exercise, built to reveal your deeper personalities."
Robin's teeth clenched. Batman had told him about the purpose and process. He knew that the team were going to be scared, or shocked, or worse, pitying. Bruce offered to let him skip it, but he reasoned it'd be suspicious if he did, and they would eventually discover something anyway. Dick figured he could somewhat control this.
They closed the eyes, and their world fell apart and rearranged itself.
~Crusty~
They seemed to be in an odd, softly glowing chamber of violet and blue hues. The floor was black marble, cool even through their boots. Their weapons were still on them somehow; Robin subtly held a batarang as Artemis notched her bow.
Megan was first. She slowly walked to the slowly pulsing red circle in the center of the room. He eyes closed as three projections gleamed into existence.
The first was a large, terrifying white monster that looked carefully at each member. The second was a regular human being it seemed; she wore a cheerleading uniform and had her brown hair up in high pigtails. Her smile was bright and carefree. The third was the one they knew. She had green skin and stood with her eyes glowing, ready for anything.
Robin instantly knew the last two sides. One was Megan's cheerful innocence, and the next was Miss Martian, a strong superheroine. None moved beyond where they were projected until the real Miss Martian opened her eyes, slowly, almost sleepily.
Those beautiful brown orbs widened in horror at seeing the White Martian. Her eyes found her team, frozen and curious. Tears appeared, but she refused to let them fall.
Robin stepped forward first. Seeing as his sides were entirely unpredictable, he wanted Megan to know it was okay. He laid a soft hand on her arm. "Hey, Miss M, who are your friends?"
The rest of the team slowly trickled forward, cautiously at first but then Wally decided she was Miss M regardless, and zoomed forward beside her. The rest relaxed and walked to her side as well.
The alien slowly walked to the large white thing taking up the most space. "This is my natural form. Mars treats us like second class citizens, so I escaped to Earth. I never intend on returning unless something changes," she said, eyes hard.
She crossed to the cheerleader and smiled. "This is my Earth personality. I'm a cheerleader, and I love meeting everyone." The cheerleader grinned happily as ever, and winked.
The last one was floating off the ground, and watching them vigilantly. "This is my superhero side. This is the one that wants to save everyone and is very protective of her friends."
The team nodded as she spoke. She looked nervously at them, wondering if she should have revealed so much. She didn't understand Earth customs, and they were all quiet. Did she say something wrong?
Kaldur, seeing Megan's confusion, stepped forward and gave her a small, though proud, smile. "Thank you for telling and trusting us with this Megan."
Her face lit up considerably and she hovered to the platform, dropping back down. Her chest rose with a deep breath, and she released it as her personalities flew back to her.
"Alright," she murmured, "who's next?"
