I flip backwards four times, landing on my feet. Smirking, I shoot upward in the sky, drizzling snow from my hands up above my current whereabouts. It feels so good to be out of captivity, finally. I fly down, and land on the ground. I stop for a moment, and take a step back. I encase the tree nearest to me in a block of ice, and add a layer of frost around for good measure. The frost patterns swirl and I smile. I have forgotten what it feels like to be free. I hover again, and back up to bask in my victory, when I hear someone clear their throat behind me.
My blood runs cold, and I whip myself around to face the intruders. Lifting my hands up, I begin to tap into my powers, ready to freeze them all into a neat block of ice. "Calm down." The man clad in black tells me. "We aren't here to hurt you" They work for her, I know it. Narrowing my eyes at the group of individuals, I float back quickly preparing to protect myself. I will not go back, ever again. "Who are you?" I hiss, cautiously.
The everyone appears to have confusion on their face, but the man in black speaks up again. "I am Batman. This is Green Arrow, Black Canary and Zatara. We are part of the Justice League." Batman says, with a purposeful tone. He speaks as if I should already know who everyone is. I blink at them, uncomprehending. "Oh, fake names then. I am Silver Song." I stare at them "Do you work for her?" My arms are still raised and prepared to fight.
Confusion further runs through the team . "Her?" one of the members ask. I believe it is Green Arrow, but I don't remember. At first I don't believe them, but they look honest. I blush from my bashfulness, and brush my white hair behind my ear. I drop my hands to my sides, letting the pulsing energy out of the fingertips, slowly making it's way back into my core. "Sorry for the, um, misunderstanding, I guess. You seem to be a group of superheros, yes? I've never heard of you. I'm, um, quite new here." This is true for the most part, seeing as I was never allowed in Central City. Or outside.
Batman narrows his eyes at me. "Your accent sounds British. I have been to England several times. In fact, the Justice League works on a global scale. How do you not know about us?" My eyes widen, and I turn pallid. Black Canary holds a hand up to stop him, and addresses me. "That's enough. So, dear, you've got some moves. How old are you? 16?"
I attempt to reassure my self. "T-Thanks. I um don't really know my age. I've been trained too, by the way." I reply quickly, waving my hand dismissively. All their eyebrows shoot up. "By whom did you get trained? I don't mean to sound boastful or arrogant, but we've been told we're the best-" Green Arrow starts. Black Canary cuts him off. "No matter! What did you mean by you don't know your age?"
I bite my lip, but don't respond. "Well, anyway, to be frank- I do believe we could find a place in the Justice League for someone of your great talents, if you would like" Batman offers. My eyes widen slightly.
"Blimey!" I can't help but feel overwhelmed. Instantly I know what to say. "Thank you for the kind offer, but I'm going to have to decline" My accent sounding stiffer. Black Canary calmly approaches me. "Sweetie, why not?" I shrug as nonchalantly as possible. "I don't want to be in the spotlight."
"We should talk" she says.
