A/N: 10 REVIEWS?! I'm soo happy thanks guys that's close to half of the total reviews for Hi, I'm New Here! I've let you guys suffer for long enough...enjoy (:
In the Bio-Ship conversation is scarce, no one talks because the overwhelming feeling of finding Annika.
"So..." Wally says quietly.
"What?" Roy asks uncomfortably sitting in Annika's seat.
"So, why are you here? You never liked her." Wally says bluntly.
"She was my cousin, of course I like her." Roy says glaring.
"What Kid Flash is trying to say, is that you and Annika had an unspoken issue on her first day." Kaldur says calmly.
"Cause she's my cousin, she enjoys annoying me, and it gets on my nerves." Roy replies.
Silence follows.
"So, Robin uh about our kiss," Zatanna starts, awkwardly changing the subject.
"Don't worry about it." I say calmly.
"Don't worry about what?" She asks slightly hurt.
"About you hitting on me when..." I trail off, noticing the hurt in her voice.
"When what?" She asks angry.
"Heh, M'gann are we there yet?" I ask scratching the back of my head nervously.
"Just about." M'gann says smirking.
"Team, I didn't send you on a mission" Batman's voice says through the comm attached to the Bio-Ship.
"We found a lead on Annika!" M'gann says happily.
"Annika is related to a League member, making her disappearance a League job." Bruce says sternly.
"Batman," I start.
"That is NOT for debate, come back to the cave for a debriefing and you WILL leave finding Annika to us." He says firmly, "Batman out."
"Bats!" Roy yells to the comm.
"We are at the location." M'gann says quietly. I look at Kaldur and he seems to be at a crossroads, going against the league or leaving a friend behind.
"Take us down." He says finally.
"Heading down." M'gann says.
"You sure about this Kal?" I ask, as I step out of my seat.
"Well, we do not want to lose her again." Kaldur says and walks out the door. We step out and see the same old country road as before, just miles away.
"What did you hear over here?" I ask Conner, he makes a face of concentration.
"Music, coming from over there." Superboy says and points North. I strain my eyes, hoping to see something in the distance, but I have no such luck.
"Another dead end." KF mutters.
"Wait, what's that?" I ask pointing North-east.
"It looks like a...circus." M'gann says. My eyes widen in realization, is this my sign? Superboy's was his insignia, and mine is a circus? What am I supposed to do? Blow it up? The last thing Anna saw me do was hand to hand combat. How come this doesn't match up?
"So what is the circus supposed to mean?" Conner asks.
"Maybe she's referring to the Parasite that we fought while undercover at Haley's Circus?" M'gann says.
"But what would he have to do with anything?" I ask, more talking to myself than anyone else.
"TEAM," I hear Batman I my comm, no doubt the rest of the team hear him too. "RETERN TO THE CAVE IMMEDIATELY." He says and then hangs up.
"Well, we better get back, looks like Bats is getting angry." KF says calmly, while the rest of the team, aside from Roy and I, look like they are about to cry, even Superboy. We all file back to the Bio-Ship and take our seats in silence.
"You are so grounded!" Wally says smirking at me.
"Meh, no patrol for a month, big deal." I say, faking a yawn. The rest of the ride, the team seems too scared to say anything, just wait until the glare we will get at the cave. I don't blame them, the Batglare has made Superman pee himself, so yelling is probably scary in someone else's mind. I look out the window and see the comforting look of Happy Harbour's Mount Jusitice. We land and I exit the Bio-Ship, and walk to the sitting room.
"Robin, Black Canary and I need to talk to you." Batman says in a typical monotone voice; knowing I don't need to say anything, I follow Bruce to the grotto, which is also where Annika's hologram is.
"We need to chat." Dinah says to me.
"About?" Bruce asks, I guess he's as clueless as me.
"Annika, uh I would like to adopt her legally, instead of you two having her." Dinah says simply.
"Why?" I ask.
"Uh, I see how you two act, if anything I'll be doing you a favour, you know now you can date her, and it's actually legal." Dinah says smirking, causing me to lightly blush.
"Will she still go to Gotham Academy?" Bruce asks, always worried about education.
"Yeah, that's what I wanted to talk to you about... Can Annika stay in Gotham, and still be apart of the 'Bat team'?" She asks wide eyed.
"Where will she stay?" Bruce asks simply.
"With us Batman, Dinah wants to know if she can have the rights to having Annika as an adopted daughter, but since Dinah doesn't make much money, she wants to know if Anna can stay with us." I say quickly. "I'm okay with it." I add.
"Fine, I'll send you the papers for a legal adoption, but keep her room in our house." Bruce says and walks out of the room. Dinah smiles and leans down to me,
"You and her, are an adorable couple, and I trust you with her life, find her and kiss her." She says smiling and walking away.
