Chapter 2- Talking things out.

I sat on my front steps of my house as Aqualad was telling Aquaman what had happened when we left together. The horror that we found. I could hear their voices but not what they were saying, I was in shock. I don't know how to react. This all is to much for me to handle, for anyone to handle. I sat my chin on my knees, just hoping that this was a dream, that I will wake up soon and everything will be just fine again. But I know better than that.

"Maeve!" I heard a familiar voice yell from my front gate. Lux and Maverick, I completely forgot they were coming over. They can't see like this. I stood up a walked quickly over to them.

"Maeve, whats going on what are the Aquas doing here?" Maverick asked concerned.

"My parents have been... They are." I couldn't bring myself to say it. I looked down feeling myself about to cry. Lux pulled me into a hug knowing what I was trying to say. Maverick started to rub my back trying to comfort me in anyway. Lux pulled away and looked me in the eye.

"What are you going to do now?" She asked completely worried about me. I shrugged not trusting my voice afraid that it would crack.

"Well then your going to stay with me. My mom won't mind at all." She smiled softly at me.

"You don't have to worry about that, Aquaman and I have decided that it would be best that you come stay with me at HQ." Aqualad said from behind us.

"Why?" Maverick asked standing between me and Aqualad.

"It is obvious that someone is after your friend." Aqualad said staring Maverick in the eye.

"What, why would you think that someone just killed her parents, why would someone be after her? Have you met her she is nice unless someone got pissed from her amount of sarcasm she uses, then there is no reason someone is after her!" Lux ranted at Aqualad.

"Lu, you should know that I was also attacked today." I told my friend gently.

"W-what?" She asked not knowing what to do with this information.

"It is true, my king and I tried to save her."

"TRIED!" My friends yelled at once.

"Okay, that's enough." I tried to calm everyone down. "And I will go with you on one condition."

"Aright, what is it?" Aqualad said looking at me.

"They come with me." I told him.

" I don't think-" He started.

" You said that someone is after me, and its clear that they are willing to do anything to get to me, they have killed my family, they will go after my friends and they might do something even worse to them, and I wont let that happen." I folded my arms after saying all of that. "So either they go, or I don't" I cocked my hip to the side showing I was serious.

"Alright I understand your reasoning and I agree to bring them with us." He smiled at me. "Let us move forward." He moved his arm in a motion to tell me to follow him.

Later we showed up somewhere Aqualad was their headquarters.

I sat on the couch next to Lux as Aqualad was in the kitchen doing something very noisily. He came up to me with a mug of a steaming liquid. I took the mug of hot tea from him when he had handed it to me.

"I have heard hot beverages are good for difficult times." He told me.

"Yeah they do."I told him and chuckled, smiling down at my mug.

"Thank you Aqualad."

"Please call me Kladur." He smiled a me once again. I was about to say something else when we head the hanger doors open and a ship come in. A minute later we saw four people people walk in. When they walked into the living room they all stared at me and my friends.

"Hello." I smiled awkwardly at them waving.

"Kaldur what are they doing here?" A very muscular guy with a S on his shirt snarled.

"Easy super boy, Maeve was attacked today and Aquaman and I both agreed that I would be safest here and her friends were in potential danger as well." Kaldur explained.

"So we have to babysit them?" He growled back.

"Hey! Like I asked for this to happen? This has been the worst day of my life and I don't you being a prick and making it shittier" I stood up and glared at him. He looked the other way and stomped off.

"Sorry about super boy, he doesn't like people, I on the other hand and perfectly OK with you being here." Robin, boy wonder, said grabbing my hand smiling at me.

"Oh.. Um thank you." I smiled back awkwardly.

"Oh! I'm M'Gann, this is Wally, and Robin." The green girl said to me.

"Hi, I'm Maeve, and these are my friends Lux and Maverick." I gestured towards them. "And I'm sorry for the inconvenience."

"Oh its no problem! Plus it was cool how you yelled at Super boy." Wally grinned.

"Maybe from your point of view but from ours, we were terrified, Maeve might have attacked from the look in her eyes." Maverick joked.

"That would have been awesome." Robin laughed. We all talked for a few hours when we decied to hit the hay. Kaldur showed us to the rooms we would be staying in. My was the last one to be shown and before I closed the door Kaldur said.

" I am staying the night here in the next room if you need anything."

"Alright,and thank you for everything today, I don't know what I would have done if I were alone in all of this."

"You are never alone." He gave me one last look before going to his room .I closed my door while smiling and went to bed.

Sleep did not last for long. I woke up in the middle of the night and it felt like I was on fire. I did the only thing I could do. I screamed. My door slammed open by Kaldur followed by Maverick and Lux. Kaldur picked me up and I screamed again. He ran to what I am guessing was their medical room, as my friends once again followed.

"Whats wrong with her?" Lux said looking as though she was going to cry.

"I do not know." Kaldur said just above a whisper. I let out another ear piercing scream. M'Gann showed up and Kaldur ordered her to go and contact the league. In the matter of minutes Batman, Robin, Flash, Wally, Aquaman and Black Cannery were here.

"What happened?" Batman demanded.

"I woke up to her screaming and she has not stopped since." Lux quickly answered.

"Here this might help." Flash came over with a needle full of liquid. He shot it into me and I fell unconscious.

Third Point of view

The room was much quieter when she stopped screaming. Everyone watched as Batman take a veil of her blood and put it into a microscope. A few minutes he put what he found on a large screen.

"Aquaman has told me that she has been infected with a serum today. And we are now witnessing what the affects are." He pointed to the screen and began to speak again. "The serum has been attacking her blood cells, changing her DNA to what ever that man created it to do." Everyone watched as they saw blue cells attaching themselves and taking control of her blood cells. Lux gasped and looked at her unconscious best friend on the table, wondering how she endured all that pain for so long.

"What do we do know?" Macerick ask the question that everyone was thinking.

"We just have to wait." The Flash said. Minutes later we heard a groan come from Maeve.

Maeve's point of veiw

As I woke up I groaned from the head ache I had. I sat up and cupped my head.

"How are you doing?" Black Cannery asked me.

"Better than I was before." I said looking at her, I heard Lux, Maverick, Kaldur, Rodin, and Wally gasp in shock.

"What?" I asked confused. Black Cannery handed my a her compact mirror. I looked and almost screamed. My once brown eyes are now crystal blue.
