The Rookie was tied to a chair. It was a comfy chair, with soft cushions on it, the fold-able kind with no arm rest, but still comfy. He still had his helmet, (He thanked the non-existent gods of helmets) and ODST battle gear, but derived of his weapons, the M7/Caseless surpassed (SMG with silencer), his M6C/SOCOM (Pistol, suppressed with flashlight) and his combat knife (Exactly what it sounds like).

His head spun, and his vision was blurred; he could make out distant voices, someone asking him questions.

The Rookie coughed a little, till he saw what was in front of him.

"Who are you" asked a bald... green person?

Rookie looked at the 'thing' in front of him, for a lack of a better word, speechless.

"Why are you here?"

"..." The Rookie did not reply, and only craned his neck, looking at the room.

"How did you come here?"

Rookie turned towards the 'thing'. He wasn't gonna tell a weirdo about himself or his squad, and he himself didn't know how he had arrived there in the first place. The message was clear- 'Make me'

"Don't tell me i did not give you a chance." he said at last.

Martian Manhunter sighted as he started probing JD's brain, causing JD to shake his head. The first thing the martian saw was the Covenant. Curious, he decided to go a little deeper.

Big mistake.

All of the hate and loss that JD had towards this alien cult passed through him.

The 'covies' had killed all that he loved. His first squad. Gage Yevgenny. His parents. His girlfriend (Play halo 3: ODST on legendary, you will see the photo of The Rookies "Beautiful Girlfriend" as quoted by Bungie inside his HEV. Also 'Rookie' was a title, not a nick-name. Like 'Arbiter' is a title. [The arbiter entered the room.], while 'Mickey' is a nickname. [Mickey entered the room.]), His three year old baby sister. All during a visit to his cousins funeral on New Llanelli.

Suddenly, the Manhunter was in a spaceship.

*A flashback* - Rookie

He remembered it all as if it were yesterday, but it was 13 years already. As all personal inter-planet civilian transport had been banned, he and his family of four went on a luxury cruise, but no one enjoyed it.

He remembered his aunt holding the ODST flag with a flaming skull as if her life depended on it.

Gafflwn Dihenyd,

Then the whole place started shaking. Those candle like things toppling. Cement prouder falling.

O'r Fuddugol wiriol sydd.

After that came the air raid sirens. The screams and confusion. People pointing at the sky as giant covenant ships started glassing the planet, small fighter swarming out of it as-if it were a honey comb.

Ni fydd neb yn ein drechu,

The deafening noises. gunshots. The honorer guard shooting at the aliens, and succeeding in holding line, till getting massacred by elites.

Falch ydy ni i drochu

Blood and tears and sweat.

Draed o'r flaen i'r Annwn

It only lasted a minute. And then, when the smoke cleared…

Mewn y gwybodaeth fe godwn ni.

His mind went blank.

*End of flashback*

The Martian Manhunter fell off his chair, hands clutching his head as he screamed in pain, losing his humanoid form and turning into his true Martian self. He couldn't bare this man's pain. How was he even alive?

He passed out.

And so did the Rookie.

When Rookie woke up again time, he was more came; collected and concentrated, and feeling like he was having a hangover. He had his helmet off, along with his armor, and was outfitted in an orange prison outfit. In front of him stood a women with some kind of a sleeve-and-leg-less blue and red gymnastics outfit decorated with stars, the outfit made out of… Metal? How did she even wear it? And all the inconvenience caused by it? And why was she holding a glowing rope whose other end tied him to his new chair.

Well, at least it had an arm rests, so he was contain. He was extremely tired and disoriented, like some one had ran through the contents of his brain.

And he fell asleep.

Wonder Woman, and all the league members looking at him from behind the glass wall were wide-eyed surprise.

The kept staring at him, till Wonder Women took an initiative.

JD was having a peaceful, dreamless slumber. Only to be ended when he was shaken awake.

The women was now dangerously close to him, causing him to trip his chair.

"Why does the universe hate me?" he muttered.

"Who are you? Why are you here? Where are you from?" she asked, as she picked up the chair with surprising ease.

"I am-" to say the Rookie practically bit his tongue to stop himself from talking would be the understatement of the century. Blood dripped from his mouth. As he willed himself to stop. Teeth tearing into his own flesh.

The woman smirked, clearly impressed.

JD knew that something was wrong, normal ropes were not truth-producing-thing. (Even i could tell you that Einstein)

Five minutes later

The Rookie was still holding out, even though the rope had started to tighten, and it was more difficult to hold his tongue.

He giggled a little on his own pun, while the women looked rather pissed.

He was careful, off course, so that the delicate, pink flesh of his tongue is not damaged so much that he could speak there and then if needed permanently.

Fifteen minutes later

"Okay" she said, raping some of the rope around her wrist "this rope filters out the truth if a person is tied up with it. So how about we do this, I'll ask you a question, and you will do the same to me?"

The Rookie spat out some blood and nodded, his mouth a little numb, but he was fine. ODST tends boot camp does that to you.

"So" she asked, "Who are you?"

"Lance Corporal 11282-31220-JD, Member of Alpha-Six, one of the elements of the 103rd Shock Troops Battalion of the 65th Shock Troops Division. I am an ODST, orbital drop shock trooper."

"Hmm… and how someone your age is a Lance Corporal?" she asked.

Rookie tilted his head, and looked at his face on the reflective glass on his left.

"…puberty ...again …why?" he thought, and frowned.

Then he turned towards wonder women, and asked "Why is there an alien aboard this ship satellite thingy-"

"How do you know we are in a-"

He gave her an 'isn't this obvious' look.

"And how did you know he is-"

He tilts his head.

Awkward silence.

"Told you its obvious we are in space" chimed in her sister.

Rookie just stared at her, then back at Wonder Women, trying find out how they are related.
