Even if you think your character was not accepted, read the authors note!
It was an unusually quiet day at Mt. Justice. No missions. No training. Black Canary had even trusted them alone for a few hours without Red Tornado. (Robin assured the team she was really going on a date with Green Arrow, and when asked how he knew, simply replied that he was a Bat) The only things that could be heard were M'gann cooking, Artemis and Wally fighting, and Conner channel surfing with Robin and Kaldur watching.
"And then, just add about half a cup of sugar ya'll-" Food Network.
"I can't believe even you could be so stupid Baywatch!" Artemis.
"Coming up on Man vs. Wild-" Discovery Channel.
"Me? Oh please! You'd be lucky to have half the brains I do!" Wally.
"Never mind I'll find someone like you, ooo-" Adele on some channel that wasn't MTV (Conner couldn't figure out why, but for some reason, they never played actual music on MTV)
"Brain? The scarecrow from the Wizard of Oz has more brains than you!" Artemis.
"And then Snooki has this total bitch fest and I'm like-" This actually was MTV. Conner hurried to change the channel.
"Someone obviously hasn't seen the whole movie, because he actually gets the smarts!" Wally.
"When there's trouble you know who to caaaall! Teen Tita-" Some cartoon channel.
"What? No he doesn't? He get's a stupid diploma because the Wizard's a fake douche who tried to kill his daughter!" Artemis. (I couldn't help the Wicked reference here. Sorry!)
"Do-do-do-do-do-da Dora! Do-do-do-do-do-da Dora! Let's go-" Superboy didn't know and didn't care to remember what channel this was.
"What the hell does that even mean!" Wally.
"-building a rocket, or fighting a mummy, or climbing up the Eiffel Tower! Discov-" What was with all the cartoons?
"Are you serious? You've never heard of Wicked? It's only the most popular show on Broadway!" Artemis.
"And in recent news, it's been four months since the mysterious disappearances of six teenagers from all over the world-" CNN.
"Wait! Go back, go back." Robin said. "And will you two lovebirds shut up? We're trying to watch here!"
"WE'RE NOT LOVE BIRDS!" Artemis screeched while Wally pretended to barf.
"Shhh!" Robin insisted. They turned their attention to the TV and M'gann walked around to see it too.
"What makes it mysterious Kelly, is that they all went missing at the same day, at the same time, even with continents to separate them. Ericson Kingston; age sixteen comes from a normal family with his mother and her boyfriend. He was at his mothers home in the Philippines when he disappeared. Aiden Kingsbury; age seventeen from New Hampshire, lived with his little sister traveling from foster family to foster family for five years. Eleanor Stykes; age 16 is the daughter of American Ambassador to France Jessie Stykes, and was in Paris when kidnapped.
"Alyson Roth; age 15 from Georgia, was only reported missing last month when her father died in a car accident. It seems to be he never reported her disappearance, but neighbors say her absence started the same day as these other teens. And finally Ramadan Omrani, age fourteen, and his younger sister, Iman, thirteen, went missing at their refugee camp in Tunisia, as their family were hiding from Gaddafi's forces."
"As tragic as that is...why do we care?" Wally asked, receiving a whack on the head from Artemis.
"Because Batman's recently been added onto the case." Robin said.
"Has he found a lead?" Kaldur inquired. "Are these kidnappings connected at all?"
"That's the problem. I don't know a thing! I have to resort to the news to find anything out." He said distainfully. "I mean, I met a few of the families, but they barely knew anything either."
"Those poor families!" M'gann cried. "They must be missing their kids like crazy! What were they like?"
"Well I only met Ambassador Stykes and Ramadan and Iman's family. Ambassador Parkman was just like she is on TV. Fake. She seemed more excited about the press than any news about Eleanor. But those siblings family? They were a whole other story." He turned to M'gann.
"They've got a big family, like you. Well...big to us on Earth anyway. They have eight siblings, not including each other. They were crazy. They kept pestering Batman with questions as if he had all all the answers. I think the only reason Batman didn't tell them to shut up was because they were all so hopeful. That and he's Batman and I'm pretty sure there's some kind of rule that says he can't break down."
This just troubled M'gann more. One of her sisters had once gone missing, and it was only for a day. She had simply forgotten to tell the family that she would be staying at a friends. Her entire family had been put into a frenzy. And that poor girls (Eleanor was is?) mother didn't even care?
"Yeah, what is up with that? It's like it's impossible for him to show any emotion? Does he implode or something?" At Robin's Bat-glare Wally laughed nervously and changed the subject. "Who's up for ice-cream? I know a good place in Central City." When Robin didn't stop staring him down he added the only thing he could think of. "...It's on me?"
"Asterous!"
Here we are, with the teaser or sorts for the story! :) To anyone who by the end of this chapter is like: Well this sucks! My character wasn't accepted!
Your character may have been accepted as a minor character, so read on and they'll definetly show up. That's my reward to loyal readers. And my punishment for those who submit characters, then refuse to read on. If that happens your character will be replaced. Got it? Don't review more than two chapters in a row, your character will be replaced.
I know it was super short, and Kaldur was barely in it, but I figured this would be more interesting then a stupid little cast list. Anyway, I have a super important poll on my profile that you should all look at. Definetly look at it. :)
And I have a question: Should Robin be an only child, or have adoptive siblings? (Jason Todd age 11, Tim Drake age 7, Cassandra Cain age 6, and Damian Wayne age 3)
Also, should KF know about Robins identity or not?
Don't forget the poll on my profile! :)
