Starlight (justice league fanfic)
This is the version of the justice league when they only had the original 6 leaguers.
Chapter 1-Meeting
Today was the day when my access to earth was accepted; I have been waiting 200 years for this! Stella paperwork was slow and complicated so I couldn't blame them for taking this long, I was just happy I could do something, since my stella training was cancelled for the incoming galactic war things had gotten boring, I wasn't allowed to talk to other factions being a warrior star, and there wasn't any other warrior stars to talk to, warrior stars took up less than 1% of stars, being so powerful, the rest of the warrior stars had been fully trained and fighting in the war. But out of this chaos, it gave me a legal chance to go to the planets in my solar system, I would tell you about all the legal stuff but it would take 3 years of your time and you don't want that, do you?
I had always wanted to go to earth with all its heroes, I want to meet them, but before I wasn't old enough or had a permit to do so and now I do, so no holding back I am going there now, rather than choosing the standard solograph- a solid holograph where I put my conscious mind in to move around- I decided to create one that looks more… human. I choose to look like a tall 13 year old girl (which I am in stella years) with golden hair, blue eyes, tanned skin and a long yellow dress, I decide it is not the best idea to go straight into their top secret base, that would be too much of an intrusion, on the street I would look like some obsessed fan girl, instead I decide to that tourist trap of a base. It still has high security to show I do have abilities but everyone knows where it is so it wont make them too insecure around me. They have bulletproof glass on top of the building, which I can teleport through.
Batman, Flash and Martian Manhunter were in the public base at the time and came to a start at my sudden appearance in the room. They all turned towards me and tensed up expecting a fight, "How did you get in here?" Batman growled. I stepped back purposely to look afraid, I was afraid, but not of Batman, but of being rejected, "One of my abilities is that I can teleport through see-through objects, where light can get through." I said calmly and pointed to the window, it was morning so I had all day to explain if I had to. "Who are you?" he asked. "May I?" I pointed to a holo-emiter. He nodded. I simply touched the base of it and an image came up. "The sun?" asked a clearly confused Flash. I nodded calmly. He laughed thinking it was a joke. When he saw my face still serious he stopped. "You have got to be kidding me?" he said. My silence answered him. I looked to Batman who was calculating the likeliness of this being possible. Martian Manhunter was looking at Batman. Probably waiting for a mental message from Batman. I simply waited; it was what I was good at, whether it was waiting for orders or being old enough to fight in the war. "Are you blocking your thoughts from me?" said Martian Manhunter "No," I said quickly I did not want to look like I was hiding something. "If you wanted to read my mind you could of just asked, I got mental blocks on my mind to prevent my mind from being conquered, imagine the damage enemies could do to the solar system if they did," I shuddered, then I slowly granted Martian Manhunter access to my mind. "Ok, try now, be careful, open the wrong door and no-one knows what could happen" I said he nodded and continued, Batman looked confused, "Most feel uncomfortable with their mind being read and try to avoid it and you don't seem to care…" he said. " I am used to it, I am a soldier after all, it may seem cruel but my life has never been about what I want." I said, my own words sadden me, because they are so true. Batman looked angered by willingness to be ordered around, he tried not to show it but I was fast at reading emotions. Martian Manhunter nodded to Batman " She tells the truth" he said.
Batman, Flash, and Martian Manhunter looked unsure at what to do next. I eventually spoke up "It is probably selfish for me to ask but can I meet the rest of the justice league…."
"Sure" Batman said, to my surprize.
By midday the rest of the justice league had came to the not-so-secret base. "Hello…" I said. "What is so special about this new superhero to let her in here?" said Wonder Woman like I wasn't in the room. "That is the thing we didn't let her in she just appeared here" replied Batman. It looked like there was going to be an argument when Martian Manhunter stepped in and said, "May I just…" wonder woman nodded. Martian Manhunter's eye's changed colour for two seconds and the three leaguers who had just arrived stepped back, taking in the new information. Eyes went on me and that fear of rejection came up again. What if they thought I was lying somehow, it felt like waiting for my permit to visit earth all over again. "So, we didn't catch your name earlier." Said Superman. "Oh, My stella name is Solena but to make it sound more like and earth name, call me Serena." I said, so they didn't hate me, well they didn't look like it, and I could always read their minds with my telepathic abilities, but in my mind it just felt, wrong.
