Here's the next bit. Thank you to Balletangel19 for your review!!


Chapter 1

Green Lantern spoke first. "You knew about Brainiac?"

Aquaman shook his head. "Not Brainiac, no." He walked over to the blond youth and grasped his shoulder. "This-"

He was interrupted by the girl. "Put me down, Zap."

"But, Shadow, are you sure you're alright?" the boy, Zap, asked.

"Don't make me haze," she said threateningly. Zap shuddered and placed her gently on her feet. Shadow then caught sight of Aquaman. "Uncle Arthur! What are you doing here?!"

Aquaman's reply was lost in Superman's outburst. "Uncle?"

"Whoa, now you're an uncle fish!" Flash laughed until he realized he was the only one doing so. "Um, it was supposed to be funny, guys."

Shayera waved her mace at him. "If you don't stop with the stupid puns, this is going to be put in a very uncomfortable spot. Get my drift?"

Flash backed away from her mace. "I get it, I get it." As she lowered her mace, he muttered, "Doesn't mean I'll stop forever."

Shayera glared, and then started as she heard a giggle. Shadow was clutching her stomach, giggling. Wiping her eyes and straightening, she turned to Flash. "You, you're funny." With that said, she collapsed into giggles again.

Zap said thickly, "Sis," he coughed and tried again. "You need-" with that he let his laughter free.

The rest of the league joined in, much to Flash's confusion. Even Batman had trouble keeping a smirk off of his face.

Superman spoke first. "Why don't we continue this discussion at the watchtower? It will be a little more private."

Aquaman shook his head in agreement. "This doesn't need more ears than is necessary."

Shadow paled until Flash put an arm around her shoulder. "Don't worry, uh, Shadow." he amended himself quickly. "We aren't that scary." he paused to think. "Well, I hope not."

Shadow shook her head and said in a mixture of awe and fear, "We're going into space?" the last word was a squeak.

Zap took her hand. "It'll be alright, Sis."

"I know, but space? As in no air? No heat?" Shadow shuddered.

John said, "Oh, we have air, and heat. There's nothing to worry about,"

A few moments later they had gotten into the Javelin. Zap and Shadow were seated side-by-side, Flash behind Shadow.

As they took off, Shadow closed her eyes and clenched her shaking hands together, biting her lower lip. She looked up at a tap on her shoulder. Flash pointed out the window.

"Look,"

Shadow looked out the window and gasped. "Look at all the stars!"

Zap grinned. "Wow,"

Flash said, "I told you it wouldn't be that bad." Shadow smiled.

After they landed, and had sealed off the airlock, Aquaman herded the two siblings out of the jet, and into the conference room.

Flash had disappeared a moment ago, now he returned with a tray of mochas. "Caffeine anyone?"

Everyone took one, except Aquaman. He stared at it curiously. "What is it?"

Flash said, "Iced coffee that has a better flavor to it than regular coffee."

"And what, exactly is coffee?"

"Try it Uncle, it's really good." Shadow said, her eyes behind her mask wide.

"I'll pass, thanks." Aquaman turned to the siblings. "Are you going to tell them, or should I?"

"We'll start." they said together. They both leaned their heads forward and gently removed their masks. Looking up, the league realized with a start that Shadow had the softest purple eyes, while her brother had beautiful green-blue ones.

"I'm Shawn Lance," Zap said.

"And I'm Shane Lance," Shadow said.

"We're twins." They said together.

"Whoa," Flash said.

"Hera," Diana muttered. "Twins?"

The twins looked at each other, than looked at the league. "But of course!"
