Chapter 2 – Welcome to Happy Harbor
The cave is amazing! Everything is so big, clean and … wow! I've just finished the 'unpacking', I think my room can be considered a normal one now, I guess … Maybe I should bake some cookies for the team, everyone loves cookies right? right!
Just when I closed the oven I hear the computer say
Recognized Robin B.0.1
"Hello Robin "
"Hey "– at least he says hi, aquagirl hasn't talked to me much but I respect her decision, 'beg' for her attention doesn't seem like a good plan…
Robin was doing something in the computer, more like tracking someone, when Aquagirl showed up and simply said – "Who?" – and robin answered – "Red Tornado"- after a few minutes of comfortable silence the computer announced two arrivals
Recognized Abuse B.0.2 / Kid Flash B.0.3
Both seemed anxious for something, before I could greet them they attacked Robin with questions
"Did you asked him?"
"What did he say?"
"He's arriving now" – answered Robin
"Then what're we waiting for ?!" – Kid Flash reminds me of a ball of energy
The boys ran into the entrance of the cave, I look to Aquagirl but she seems as lost as me so, I decide to follow them, I'm curious. Red Tornado is arriving, just like Robin said.
"Red Tornado!" – Screams the brown eyed speedster
"Greetings, is there a reason why you intercepted me outside the cave?"
"We hoped you had a mission for us" – Robin seems annoyed by the android
"Missions assignments are the Batman's responsibility" – Robin looks even more annoyed …
"But it's been over a week and –"
"You'll be tested soon enough"- said the Android, interrupting Abuse – "for the time being simply enjoy each others' company"
"This team is not a social club!" – I'm surprised Robin hasn't attacked Red Tornado yet.
"No, but I am told social interaction is an important team building exercise, perhaps you can keep busy by familiarizing with the cave."
"Keep busy … "- hissed Kid Flash, he was angry, actually everyone was furious
"They think they can just fool us like this ?!" – I don't understand what Robin meant with that … but maybe I should help them ! Using my telepathy !
"I'll find out !" – I did exactly as Uncle J'onn taught me but nothing, weird did he had his mind blank ? Only Machines, never mind, great work Lara! – "I'm sorry, I forgot he's a machine inorganic, I cannot read his mind …"
"Nice try though "– how nice of him – "So, you know what I'm thinking ?" – I'm confused should I read his mind ? To what purpose ?
"Tt we all know what you're thinking now "– Robin said while punching the speedster in the arm. And I'm still confused…
"And now we tour the clubhouse, awesome !" – I think Abuse was being sarcastic, the reason why they were all angry was bugging me. What's wrong ? Maybe we should try to change subject of the conversation …
"Well, Aquagirl and I live here, we can play tour guides …" - they all turned to face us, the girls.
"Don't look at me".
"We won't " - this answer made aquagirl angry which only made Kid Flash happy … still confused… -" a private tour sounds a lot more fun …" - was he trying to flirt ? I'm still very new to that concept so …
"She never said private!" – complained Abuse
"Team building, we'll all go" – said the boy wonder looking bored, maybe I could cheer him up …
"Well, this would be the front door, the cave is actually the entire mountain."
"It was hollowed out and reinforced by Superman and the Green Lanterns in the early days of the League, when I wasn't even born" – said Kid Flash smugly
"Then why abandon it for the Hall of Justice ?" – that was a good question, the cave seemed fine
"The cave's secret location had been compromised" – Robin still looked bored
"So they traded it for a tourist trap ? Yeah, sounds smart"
"Wait! If the villains know, we should be on constant alert"
"Thebadguysknowweknowthattheyknowabouttheplace,sotheywillneverlookhere" – what ? and why was he holding my hand now ? was it custom ? Why was he making that weird face ?
"He means we're hiding in plain sight" – explained Abuse, taking my hand from the speedster who glared at the red head
"Thanks, that's much clearer"
"I smell smoke" – said Robin suddenly, smoke ?!
"Ah! My cookies" – I fly as fast as I can, but when I get there, it's too late, I couldn't save them … - "I was trying Granny's recipe from episode 29 from ; uh, never mind …"
"I bet they would have tasted great" – Abuse seemed nice …
"He doesn't seem to mind" – says robin pointing towards Kid Flash who was eating my burnt cookies
"I have a serious metabolism … ?"
"Uh … I'll make more … ?"
"It was sweet of you to make any"
"Thanks Abuse"
"We're off duty, call me Colin" – he said winking an eye at the end of the sentence.
"I'm Jai" – he said in a weird soft voice – "see I already trust you with my secret ID, unlike Glasses, over here. Batman has forbidden boy wonder to tell anyone his real name …"
"Mine is no secret is L'arn L'osn, but please call me Lara, it's an earth name, I prefer it to the Martian one, after all I'm on earth now … "- Aquagirl seemed left out and kind of sad …
» Don't worry Aquagirl, we'll find you an earth name too …
"Get out of my head !" – she said rather loudly and really angry, the boys looked at me confused
» What's wrong ? – I asked everyone – »I don't understand everyone communicates telepathically on Mars
"Rachel Stop! Things are different here on earth, here your powers are a huge invasion of privacy" – warned me Robin, his voice now sounded a lot like Batman's.
"Besides CADMUS has left a bad taste in her mind" – said Kid Flash half whispering half laughing
"I didn't mean to …"
"Just stay out" – she looked furious but at least she wasn't yelling at me …
"Hello Lara! I know what we can do !" - I hope they like bioships … here she is! The others arrived shortly – "It's my martian bioship" – I introduced her proudly
"Huh, Cute, not aerodynamic but cute" – Jai, always trying to be smartest …
"It's resting silly, I'll wake it" - » C'mon girl, time to show them what we can do « the bioship responded happily , I was going to enter but I realized that they weren't following me – "Well, are you coming or not ?" – I asked them, challenging, thankfully they followed me in – strap in for launch – I could hear a whoa! from Jai and a Cool! from Colin – Red Tornado please open the bay doors.
"Impressive" – said Robin after a few minutes, the thought that I could make something that he would compliment made me blush, It's obvious he didn't give those very often
"She sure is …" - said Jai dreamily – "I mean the ship, that like all ships it's a … she …" - he corrected quickly
"Fast with his feet, not so much with his mouth" – mocked the Boy Wonder
"Dude …"
"Why don't you show us some martian shape shifting ?" – he suggested, okay you can do this Lara, don't get nervous just because Robin is watching your every move, I decided to copy Robin first, since he was the one that suggested the demonstration, not because his suit was awesome, pfff what an idea, he had a smirk when he saw me as Robin, then I decided to imitate Kid Flash who said – "Is it wrong that I think I'm hot ? "– Hot ? what's that supposed to mean ?, I ignored it and turned back into Miss M
"You know you won't fool anyone with those" – of course he would point my mistakes he was a bat after all, at least he was nice to me
"I know, it's just that mimicking boys is a lot harder"
"And your clothes ? "– said Abuse making faces
"They're organic like the ship, they respond to my mental commands"
"As long as they're the only ones …"
"Hey Lar, can you do the ghosting through walls that the Martian Manhunter does ?"
"Density shifting ? No, it's a very advance technique" – and it's kind of disgusting
"Well, the Flash can vibrate his molecules trough a wall, when he tries it ? Bloody nose " - Robin was really funny and nice, in a broody way.
"Dude!" – whined Jai
"Hey! There's something I can do, Camouflage mode !"
"Useful …"
"Red Tornado to Miss Martian, an emergency alert has been triggered at the Happy Harbor power plant, I suggest you investigate, covertly, I'm sending coordinates"
"Received, adjusting course"
"Tornado is keeping us busy again" – said Kid Flash, why were they like this ? C'mon think of something to cheer them up … I know!
"Well, a simple fire led you to Aquagirl, we should find out what caused the alert"
"I think I know the cause" – said the atlatean looking at the left
Oh great! Just what I needed.
Author's note: I know it seems kind of the same but in later chapters it will look different promise, for example their back stories are different, and the pairings will be different, there will be some big characters like Red Robin or Nightwing doing a cameo, so … yeah, different.
Anyway I know Jai's a little too OOC and my OC's look not very original, but they will, the plot is mainly the same, I admit, but there will be a few changes too … Lian is also going to show up at certain point of the story … There will be also chapters that are not based on the tv show like chapter 4 for example … I know Damian is less serial killer (xD) here but it's because he has been molded by Nightwing, Colin, Stephanie and Bruce for 5 years, he's 15 right now by the way … So he's more civilized, he's still Damian though, he will call someone idiot soon :P
Pls R&R
Disclaimer: I own nothing only my OC's back story …
