Takes place during episode 15 (Humanity) and instead of, Zatanna I am using an OC. However, Zatanna will come in later and for the time being, it will be the OC.
Third Person POV
"Good work everyone," Black Canary said as she stepped into the training room. "In fact it's been a very productive week." The pairs who were sparring broke apart.
"Yeah, for everyone except Kid Malingerer," Artemis joked.
"Hey! Arm broken in combat against the Injustice League here," Wally defended himself as he waved his cast around.
Black Canary chuckled. "I've really enjoyed being your, uh, den mother."
"Recognized: Zatara 11. Access Granted: Pacifica Lunes A03. Authorization: Zatara 11."
Everyone's head turned to the zeta beam. Could this be another new teammate?
"Pacifica, this is the Team," Zatara explained in his heavily accented voice as a pretty teen girl stepped out of the zeta-tubes. She had long bronze hair and bronze eyes. "Team, this is Pacifica, Princess of the Pacifica."
M'gann floated down to ground level with a cheerful smile. "Hi I'm-" She began.
"Robin!" Robin exclaimed jumping in front of the Martian. "I mean I'm Robin. She's Megan, and that's Wally, Artemis, Kaldur, and Conner," Robin introduced with a small wave.
Kaldur cleared his throat, "Welcome to the Cave."
"Thanks."
"S-so are you joining the Team?" Robin stuttered. Everyone shot him an awestruck look. Since when did the Boy Wonder stutter?
Artemis nudged Wally slightly in the side and sent him a questioning look. Wally shook his head as M'gann's voice inside her head interrupted her thoughts. "Does anyone else get the idea that we're still on probation with Zatara?" the Martian asked telepathically.
"Not just Zatara. I mean, why is Marvel still around?" Conner asked with a small wave.
Kaldur shrugged. "I think Marvel just likes being here with us. He seems like a kid at heart."
"Plus," Wally added, "We like having him around."
"You like having him around because he waits on you hand and foot."
Wally turned to Artemis. "And your point is…?"
"It almost makes one nostalgic for Red Tornado," Aqualad said, ignoring Artemis and Wally bicker.
"Yeah," Robin added. "At least he trusted us."
"If you ignore the fact that we shouldn't have trusted him," Conner said, getting angry. "He was the traitor! That machine nearly got M- all of us killed!"
"Are you guys having a psychic conversation?" the new girl asked, stepping forward. "Cause I can't decide if that's cool or really rude."
Nobody said a word, as they were aware that Black Canary and Zatara were watching them.
"Alright, fine!" Conner said turning to Canary. "We were talking about Tornado. It's been weeks since his attack. And the League hasn't told us anything."
"The Team is not to pursue this," Canary said stepping forward. Pacifica bit back a smile, from her time in council meetings, she knew when someone said that people were not allowed to do something they did it anyways.
"Why don't you take Pacifica on a Cave tour?" Zatara suggested.
M'gann smiled sweetly as did the rest of the Team. "Oh, yes, Zatara. That is a great idea!" she exclaimed.
After Conner managed to trick Captain Marvel into leaving the teens alone they began the 'tour'. Pacifica rejoined the rest of the Team after finding a small corridor. When she did, her clothes were different and this made Robin stutter, "When did you? How did you?"
"We're not really going on a tour are we?" Pacifica asked bored, appearing in different clothes.
"No," Conner responded. "We're hunting down that robot.
Kaldur agreed. "Yes, we are."
"Wow," Pacifica said somewhat sarcastically, "out loud and everything."
"What about new girl?" Artemis asked somewhat hesitantly.
Robin turned and frowned slightly at the two. "I'm sure she won't tell," he shrugged.
Pacifica turned. "I can't tell," she smirked. "Not if you kidnap me."
Artemis grinned. "Oh, she's gonna fit in great."
"M'gann," Canary's weary voice came over the Bioship. "The Bioship wasn't authorized for departure."
"We're kidnapping Pacifica," M'gann answered cheerfully.
"To show her Happy Harbor! We thought she might like to see it," Wally quickly added.
"Roger that. Uh, have fun."
Robin turned to his teammates. "Where are we going? Batman is the world's greatest detective and he searched for Tornado and Morrow in every logical location. If we're going to do better we need an illogical solution. A truly dumb idea," he finished thoughtfully.
Everyone turned to Kid Flash.
The speedster smiled. "As a matter of fact…"
Later, inside Belle Reve…
"Warden Strange owed us a favor from stopping last month's prison break," Miss Martian began, getting right up in Ivo's face, "and he's given us five minutes with you."
"Spill Ivo! How do we find T.O. Morrow and his reds?" Conner demanded.
Ivo sat back. "Now why the world would I know how to find Morrow?"
"Because," KF said stepping forward. "And here's a truly dumb idea, you're Morrow's biggest competitor in the crazy android game. Who better to keep track of what he's up to and where."
Pacifica found herself nodding. It didn't seem dumb or crazy to her. In fact it made perfect sense, as the saying goes, Keep your friends close and your enemies closer.
"Ah, I see your point, so let me rephrase. Why in the world would I tell you how to find Morrow?" Ivo countered.
"He knows. Do what you must." Aqualad said while walking towards Ivo.
But despite the Team's perseverance and M'gann's telepathic tries, no one was getting any information out of Ivo.
"Oh, ho, ho. Please, As if I've never faced a telepath before." Ivo laughed.
Pacifica muttered something in a different language that sounded like complete gibberish to everyone, "Veritatem dicere."
Ivo sat up straight and started spewing information out. "Morrow is in a secret underground base under Yellow Stone National Park, 100 meters South of Old Faithful."
Everyone's jaws fell open and Robin peered over everyone's shoulder to look at Pacifica.
"Wait! What just happened?" Ivo asked nervously.
"Lockout all external communication," Aqualad instructed. "Soon Canary, and Zatara, Batman too, I imagine will know about our…visit with Professor Ivo. We haven't much time."
"Okay, I'm trying to be all nonchalant here-" Robin began.
"Why?" Pacifica interrupted again. "Be as chalant as you like."
Robin's eyes widened and then he smirked.
"I think we're all just trying to get a handle on your powers," Artemis explained. "Could you teleport us to Tornado or Morrow to a cell? Or force his bots to surrender?" she asked.
"Or create peace on Earth for all time?" Pacifica asked in a fake cheerful voice. Artemis frowned at the girl. "Zatara couldn't even do all that, let alone the gods. My real mentors are ancient, like over a million years old, they teach me and I'm not even near on Isis's level. See, I need to know a spell cold or else have some time to prep it. Plus, all magic requires energy which usually comes from within. I just can't make the impossible happen at will."
Conner made an impatient sound. "What's our ETA to Yellowstone? I am way past ready to stuff Tornado into a trash compactor."
Aqualad, always the calm, level-headed one responded with, "Are you so sure he's the one who betrayed us?"
"Aren't you!?" Conner yelled back while looking at Aqualad.
"I am not convinced," Aqualad admitted. "Even so, that makes him but a victim of his creator's programming. Certainly he deserves a chance to prove he is more than the weapon others designed him to be."
"Stealth mode," Aqualad told his teammates. The rest of the Team activated stealth mode while Pacifica opened the hatch. Aqualad walked up to her and said, "I recommend you stay behind."
"Is that an order?" She asked while raising an eyebrow.
"No. You must do as you see fit."
"Good." Pacifica said while raising her arms. She then chanted, "Commuta habitum."
Pacifica's clothes changed into a knee-length white linen dress, bronze metal armor on top, an athame strapped to her hip, bronze & linen gladiator sandals, and one ankh amulet. When she finished the Team went outside and started to run towards Morrow's base.
"Ivo was right," Robin said as he pulled up his holographic keyboard. "Something's down there."
Suddenly, harsh winds hit the Team, knocking them back. Red Tornado appeared with a large twister and made several other twisters surround the Team.
"WHY, TORNADO!?" Miss Martian yelled. "WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS?"
She turned towards Super boy and mentally said, 'Message received?'
He nodded and faced Red Tornado while saying, "Who cares why? Nail him!"
Aqualad ran towards Tornado with Superboy and yelled, "Superboy, Maneuver 7!"
Superboy launched Aqualad towards Red Tornado and he ended up being punched and sent back towards the ground. Artemis shot arrows at the android while Robin remained close by. Red Tornado redirected the arrows to the Team and if it wasn't for Robin, he and Artemis would've blown up.
"That does it, Red. Your not the only spin doctor around here." Kid Flash said while creating a tornado of his own and Miss Martian tried to sneak up on Tornado. The android promptly took Miss Martian's hand and threw her towards Wally. They collided and were sent to ground-level at breakneck speed. Pacifica got up and tried to say a spell, but Tornado took her by the neck and waited until she blacked out.
Within minutes all members of the Team were on the ground, seemingly unconscious, but sadly this plan didn't work. Red Tornado's brother android, Red Volcano, had seen the "Play Dead" sign that Red Tornado had carved into the ground as he had landed. From that point the real battle began.
Red Volcano threw the huge rock at the team. At that same moment the Team got up and looked at the two reds. Kaldur jumped to cut some of the rocks up while Miss Martian blocked one huge piece with her telekinesis and the rest of the Team dispersed. A rock flew towards Robin and Pacifica's direction and this made Robin jump out of the way and look where the two were standing. He thought to everyone through the mental link, 'Pacifica?'
When the smoke cleared Pacifica was kneeling and then got back up quickly and said, 'I'm good, but Red Tornado's getting away.'
'Is he abandoning us?' Artemis asked in an irritated tone.
'I don't believe that.' Miss Martian answered.
"You stand no chance against me human," Red Volcano stated as KF ran up the rock towards him.
"We're not human!" Miss Martian and Superboy yelled as they approached Red Volcano.
"Apologizes. I suppose the properly allusive term is meatbags." Red Tornado said in his emotionless, robotic voice. He knocked Miss Martian and Superboy back to the ground and caused a huge hole to open up underneath Artemis and Aqualad, who thankfully got out thanks to a trick arrow. Even Robin's explosive batrangs proved to be nothing against the android.
"Tornado's memory files and my superior processing speed allow me to anticipate your every move." Red Volcano boasted while lowering his hand.
"Ligatis conspectu eius." Pacifica chanted and soon a vine covered Red Volcano's eyes and caused him to struggle against its iron grip. "Tornado never knew my moves."
"And I bet you've got some good ones," Robin said. "Whoa, sorry, that may've come off a little to Wally." Had he just said Wally? When they were in uniform?
Pacifica giggled. "I don't mind."
REd Volcano blasted the vine off his eyes and caused a volcano to erupt from behind him. KF dodged some lava rocks that were thrown at him.
'He's activating a Stage 2 eruption. It gets to stage 3, kiss the hemisphere goodbye,' KF quickly explained and urgently.
'Hit him from all sides,' Aqualad instructed while taking out his swords.
That seemed like a good plan, but no one could get close enough to land a good hit on Red Volcano. Not Kid Flash, nor Superboy, nor Artemis; nobody could. Red Volcano telepathically grabbed Miss Martian as she fell unconscious from the fire that surrounded her.
"M'gann!" superboy yelled as he ran towards her. Red Tornado cut him off by jumping in the middle of them, literally. The vibrations from the hit caused both teens to fly in different directions.
Pacifica Held her hands out and recited, "Take his powers, blessed be multiply his strength for thee." This spell made multiple copies of Kid Flash that started to run in different directions. "I-I use a scaled-down version when I want to sneak out of the training-grounds!"
The real Kid Flash used the distraction to save M'gann. Then a huge jet stream of water knocked Red Volcano back into the lava.
"Nice hit!" Robin yelled to Aqualad.
"The hit was not mine. Look!" Aqualad exclaimed while pointing to Red Torpedo. The Reds were helping the Team. But, why?
"Sister, brothers. STOP!" Red Volcano commanded, but the other reds continued to attack, under the lava. Red Tornado landed on Red Volcano and if it wasn't for Superboy, he would've melted completely. However, there was a major problem; Red Volcano already activated Stage 3.
"Tornado listen!" Kid Flash yelled to Red Tornado. "We're on the verge of a Stage 3, super volcano eruption! There's no turning back from that. We need to vent pressure fast, but the ash cloud will bring on a worldwide nuclear winner unless you divert it!" He turned to Robin. "Triangulate around the pressure locas."
"Right," Robin agreed, once again pulling up his holographic keyboard. "There, there, and there."
Artemis released an arrow that sent three missiles to those three places on the volcano. Red Tornado rose off the ground and created a huge Tornado that vented the ash from the volcano and into outer space.
"Yes!" KF cheered.
"Ha, there, that should do it," Robin said after they finished fixing Red Tornado's voice box.
"Yes, I can speak again," The familiar, robotic voice of Red Tornado said.
Aqualad walked to Tornado and said, "You were willing to sacrifice yourself to save the planet,"
"The planet would have survived," Tornado corrected. "It was humanity that was saved, though not by my being. My sister and brother were the true heroes this day."
Aqualad put his hand of Red Tornado's metal shoulder. "The point is this: you were never the mole. Never a traitor."
"No," The android agreed. "I left to protect you from further attack and to find my creator, Morrow." Everyone nodded in understanding.
"Cool! Souvenir," Wally called picking up a red metal hand.
"Reddy!" Robin exclaimed, carrying some robot parts as he walked over. "We can rebuild you! Better than you were before!"
"I do not believe I should be repaired," Red Tornado said. He sounded sad, even though he was just a robot.
Conner turned. "Why'd you volunteer to become our den mother in the first place?" he demanded.
"I was the pragmatic choice," Tornado explained. "I do not require sleep. I have no secret identity or second-life to live."
"But," Wally said, "You do have advanced I.A. programming specially designed to learn, adapt, and evolve."
M'gann hit her head lightly as she realized something. "Hello Megan! You wanted to become more human."
"And you couldn't do with the League. Their stiffs." Artemis understood.
"You're sure not going to learn emotion from Batman." Robin added. "Trust me."
"Then the Cave was not only proving ground for us, but for you as well," Aqualad said.
"I do not know if these statements are accurate, but perhaps they are true. And if I understand the term correctly, I believe I have come to care about you all." Red Tornado admitted.
"See?" Superboy said. "Practically a meat-bag already."
"Which reminds me..." Red Tornado started, but never finished.
"So, good kidnapping?" Robin asked as he leaned towards Pacifica, when the Team was back in the Bioship.
Pacifica turned with a smile. "Actually, yeah. Best ever."
Robin chuckled. "First of many, I hope."
Pacifica frowned. "If Zatara doesn't ground me for life and if Isis lets me stay on this team."
Robin chuckled at this and held out his hand. Pacifica took it and smiled until all of her teeth were showing.
"She's grounded for life!" Zatara exclaimed. They were back in the Cave and saw that Zatara was furious. "They're good kids, Giovanni. Don't worry, Giovanni. She's NEVER joining this team."
When Zatara finished talking to Black Canary, Pacifica got scolded by Zatara while she, herself, was trying to look as small as possible. The moment Zatara brought up her studies, Pacifica snapped and started to scream, "Ego sollicitus erit et studia et vox iam, sum satus impetro infensus! Ego sum tredecim. Alias aetatis, etiam in hac vita et capsellam habeas. Donec velit pendet exigua cum aliis sum. Nimium est?"
"Anyone catch any of that?" Wally asked. He looked around and saw that the Team was staring at Pacifica in shock. She seemed to radiate power. Lightning streamed around the curls of her hair, her dress spun with an unnatural wind, around her the air changed temperature quickly, and her body floated just a bit off the ground. "Anyone?"
Pacifica floated back to the ground and used the zeta-beam to return to her home. The Team recovered from their shock and went to the living room while the Leaguers talked. Robin paced the area while muttering something about losing his calmness, "I was totally distraught and now I almost gave away Wally's ID (A.U. That's ID not 1D. I know how Directioners get about fanfics saying 1D) during a mission."
Wally walked up to Robin and placed his broken arm on his shoulder. This made Robin stop dead in his tracks and face the teen. The red-head looked at his friend and said, "You were just a victim of the lovebug, my friend. A victim."
'Ha ha, Wally, make fun of me. Wait, could he actually be right? Nah, it's just my mind laying tricks on me.' Robin thought as he went into the zeta-tube and went back to Gotham.
Pacifica's POV
I walked up to my home, some might say mansion, and used the old vines to climb into my bedroom. Today was long and I didn't feel like putting up with my ladies maids, yes ladies maids. As soon as I was inside, I whispered, "Mutare vestimenta."
My clothes changed into my blue nightgown and I went to look outside my other window. There was a small bench filled with pillows and I took one before sitting down and hugged it. Every night, I looked out my window and gazed at Wayne manor, hoping that one day Bruce Wayne's ward, Richard "Dick" Grayson, would notice me. He goes to my school and we have almost the exact same schedule, minus third and fourth period. Ever since I saw him, my heart leaped like crazy and I could barely breathe.
A door slammed downstairs and I could hear my adoptive parent, Helena Bertinelli, come in. I quickly jumped into bed and pretended to be asleep as Helena checked in on me. After living with her ever since I was about five, I've learned at what time she checks up on me, her life story, her alias, and that she signed me up to learn under the ancients, 'Thank you, Amazons.' It was easy to pretend I was sleeping as she pulled the blankets of my canopy bed up to my chin and her perfume filled the air around me.
When she closed the door, I let the sounds of the creaking wood lull me to sleep. I know that tomorrow, I will see Dick and he won't notice me at all and I'm stuck watching at the sides.
I hope that y'all like it. It is just something that came to mind while I was surfing the web. If you like it then I will continue.
