Chapter 2: Welcome to Happy Harbor

After the introduction to the team Fate decided that I should live in Mount Justice so I could get to know them better and frankly the only ones I got to know were Superboy and Miss Martian.

Superboy was the exact copy of Superman with a good heart but he had anger issues and lashes out at people who piss him off. Miss Martian is a sweet girl that wants to prove herself to the team, she is eager which is a good thing but it can get her into trouble and I know from experience that it can.

I was meditating a few feet in the air while Superboy was at the computer with Aqualad and Miss Martian when the Zeta Beam activated, "Recognize Robin B-01! Kid Flash B-03!"

They ran in wearing their civvies, "Did you ask him yet/ what did he say?"

I sighed, "You guys are too eager for your own good! Batman said that he would do the mission assignments not Red Tornado."

Kid Flash shook his head, "You never know Mystic!"

Aqualad then spoke up, "He's arriving now!"

"Then what are we waiting for?" Asked Kid Flash before he took off running with the others running or in Miss Martian's case flying after him.

After a second I followed because I might not show it but I was eager to go out into the field and show the team and that non-believer Kid Flash what magic can do!

The side of the mountain opened up as we ran outside to see Red Tornado flying down, "Red Tornado!" Shouted Wally who was waving a hand

"Greetings! Is there a reason that you intercepted me outside the cave?" He asked

Aqualad walked up, "We'd hoped that you would have a mission for us."

"Mission assignments are the Batman's responsibilities!" Replied Tornado

"Told you." I retorted though I felt a twinge of anger that we didn't get a mission.

Robin spoke up, "But it's been over a week and nothing-."

Red Tornado held up a hand, "You will be tested soon enough so for the time being simply enjoy each other's company."

Aqualad had a little anger showing in his eyes, "This team is not a social club!"

"No but I am told that social interaction is an important team building exercise!" Red Tornado reasoned and I had to agree with him on that, "Perhaps you can keep busy by familiarizing yourself with the cave?" He suggested walking past us

Kid Flash scowled and said to Robin, "Keep busy."

"Does he think we're falling for this?" Asked Robin rhetorically

Miss Martian spoke up, "Ooh I'll find out!" She focused in on Tornado before sighing, "I'm sorry I forgot he's a machine, inorganic I cannot read his mind."

Kid Flash smiled, "Nice try though sooo uh you know what I'm thinking right now?"

I shook my head, "For Hecate's sake we all know what you're thinking right now KF."

Aqualad spoke up, "And now we tour the clubhouse." He sounded angry

Miss Martian smiled, "Well Superboy, Mystic and I live here so we can play tour guides!"

They looked at me so I turned invisible before turning their attention to Superboy, "Don't look at me."

Kid Flash smiled, "We won't the private tour sounds much more fun!" He looked at Miss Martian.

Robin elbowed Kid Flash, "She never said private!"

I rolled my eyes, "He's certainly persistent isn't he?"

"Team building we'll all go!" Ordered Aqualad and we agreed with him

Miss Martian played Tour guide, "So this would be our front door and this cave is the whole entire mountain." She said

"It was actually reinforced my Superman and Green Lantern in the early days of the League." Explained Kid Flash

"Then why abandon it for the Hall of Justice?" Asked Superboy curiously

"The Cave's secret location was compromised." Aqualad explained

That brought a question for me, "Wait they traded a secret base that was compromised for a tourist attraction in Washington DC? Does anyone else see something wrong with that?"

Miss Martian brought up a point, "If Villains know of the Cave then we must be on constant alert!"

Robin smiled, "The bad guys know we know they know about the place so they never think to look here!"

Miss Martian just looked confused until Kid Flash said, "What he's saying is that we're basically hiding in plain sight!"

"Ah, that's much clearer!"

Superboy sniffed the air, "I smell smoke."

Miss Martian gasped, "My cookies!" She took off flying so while the others followed after her I teleported to the kitchen surprising Kid Flash

"How did you-."

I shrugged, "Simple teleportation spell!"

"UGH! Magic doesn't exist!" He practically shouted

I waved a hand and a zipper appeared over his mouth shutting it to the amazement of the others as Miss Martian got her cookies out but then he started doing sign language ending with very rude hand gestures, "I think this convinces you otherwise?" I removed the spell.

"That can be explained by science!"

I gave him a deadpanned look, "How?"

He looked lost before Miss Martian brought the tray of cookies onto the counter, "I was trying out Grammy Joni's Recipe from episode 17 of-uh-Nevermind!" She said a little too fast causing my eyebrow to go up in suspicion

Robin smiled, "I'm sure that they would've tasted great he doesn't seem to mind!" I looked to see Kid Flash eating them before he saw us watching

"I have a serious metabolism." He replied nervously

"I'll make more?" Miss Martian asked uncertainly

"It was sweet of you to make any." Replied Aqualad

"Thanks Aqualad!"

Aqualad held up a hand, "We're off duty, please call me Kaldur'am, actually my friends call me Kaldur."

Kid Flash smiled, "I'm Wally, see I already trust you with my Secret ID unlike Mister Dark Glasses over here! Batman's forbidden Boy Wonder from telling anyone his real name."

Miss Martian smiled, "Mine's no secret it's Meghan Mo'orz but you can call me Megan it's an Earth name and I'm on Earth now!"

I took the helmet that I was wearing off to show my face, "I'm Gary Walker; well Gary Nelson now that Fate adopted me."

"Adopted you?" Asked Kid Flash in surprise.

I nodded, "Yeah when my dad found out about that I can do magic he tried to kill me calling me a freak so I ran away and a week later I met Doctor Fate."

"GET OUT OF MY HEAD!" Shouted Superboy unexpectedly.

Then Megan looked at us, What's wrong? I don't understand, everyone on Mar's communicates telepathically!

"Megan stop!" I said as I started to get a headache from having someone talking in my head

Kaldur picked up where I left off, "Things are different on Earth; here your powers are an extreme invasion of privacy!" He explained

Then Wally said, "Besides, Cadmus's creepy little psychic Genomes left a bad taste in his brain."

Megan's eyes widened as she heard that, "I-I didn't mean to-."

Superboy interrupted her, "Just. Stay. Out!"

Okay that was a little harsh but frankly I couldn't blame him after reading his file and I looked to see Megan with her head down before she smiled, "Hello Megan! I know what we can do!" She took off flying.

But she came back for Superboy, "Superboy, please?" She begged

"Don't talk to me." But he got up and followed her and pretty soon everyone was in the Hangar

"I present to you my Martian Bioship!" She proudly exclaimed

To me it looked like a giant red Easter egg but hey I've been surprised by less. Wally on the other hand said, "Cute, not aerodynamic but cute!"

Megan giggled, "It's at rest silly, here I'll wake it!" Five seconds later it was a full blown ship

I nodded, "Okay I've seen some pretty cool things in the Mystic world but that is awesome."

She was shy at the compliment weirdly enough.

The back of the ship opened up, "Well are you coming?" She asked and we all ran in there and six seats popped up so when we sat in them seatbelts appeared and we were strapped in

"Cool." Kid Flash said energetically

Then Megan turned on the video chat, "Red Tornado please open the Bay Doors!"

She did a few tricks as the ship flew out, "Incredible!" Commented Robin

Wally sighed dreamily, "She sure is." When Megan looked at him he snapped back to his senses, "T-the ship I mean like all other vehicles is a she!"

I smirked, "Fast on your feet not so much with your mouth."

"Dude!" He shouted his face turning as red as his hair.

I snickered, "Relax Wally I'm just messing with you!"

I put my senses forward to hear Aqualad say, "I may not have psychic powers but I can guess what you're thinking, you overreacted and you don't know how to apologize!" When Superboy looked at him Kaldur smiled, "Just say sorry."

Superboy looked forward when Robin whispered, "He'll come around!"

"He doesn't seem to like me very much." Megan whispered back

Then Wally pointed something out, "You guys remember that he has super hearing right?"

At that point Robin and Megan wouldn't look at Superboy because of that fact so I said something to get their minds off it, "Hey how about showing us some Martian Shape shifting?" I suggested

She stood up and turned into Robin (In uniform) but it was a female version of him before doing Kid Flash (Again female version)

Wally gazed at her with a dreamy expression, "Is it wrong that I think that I'm hot?"

I gave him a weird look, "Do you really want to have that question answered?" Note to self stay away from the Speedster!

Robin clapped, "Impressive! But you know that you're not going exactly fool anyone with those." He pointed out gently

She sat down, "Mimicking boys is a lot harder."

"And your clothes?" Asked Aqualad

She smiled, "They're organic!"

I felt my eye twitch, "No offense but wearing clothes that are alive is just weird."

She shrugged, "None taken they respond to my mental commands like this ship."

"As long as they're the only ones." That last comment came from Superboy killing the mood

Wally picked the conversation back up, "Hey can you do that Ghosting through walls thing that Manhunter does?" He asked excitedly

"Density shifting?" He nodded, "No, it's a very advanced technique."

Robin smiled slyly, "Flash can vibrate his molecules right through a wall but when he tries it bloody nose."

"DUDE!" Wally shouted, "What is this pick on Wally day?"

I shrugged, "You're putting yourself in this position Wally."

Megan smiled, "Here's something I can do!" The ship disappeared along with us, "Camouflage mode!" We can still see everything but on the outside we wouldn't be able to

I whistled in appreciation, "Nice!"

"Red Tornado to Miss Martian!" We all went quiet as we heard that, "An emergency has been triggered at the Happy Harbor power plant, I suggest you investigate! Covertly, I'm sending coordinates!"

Megan nodded, "Received, I'm adjusting course!"

I smiled, "See guys we have our first mission!"

Robin scoffed, "Tornado's keeping us busy again!"

"Well a simple fire led you to Superboy so we should find out what caused the alert." Reasoned Megan

Superboy looked out the window, "I think I know the cause!" We all looked outside to see a Tornado coming towards us

"Oh that's not good." I remarked going pale wishing that I paid attention when Fate was explaining how to dispel bad weather.

We got sucked in so I shouted, "HOLD ON!" and then I focused as hard as I could under this condition before we teleported about ten feet away from the Tornado before the Bioship dropped us off on the ground.

"Robin, are Tornadoes common in New England?" Aqualad looked back to see… that Robin was gone and we heard his creepy laughter instead

"The hell?" I asked out loud

"He was just right here!" Commented Megan

We ran in a factory as we saw the windows being blown out and Robin was thrown painfully into the wall, "Who's your new friend?" Asked Superboy

Robin got up, "I don't know but he plays kind of rough!"

"My apologies!" I turned to see a red machine with a scarf and tubes going into his arms, "You may address me as Mr. Twister!"

I was scared sure… This was my first fight using my powers but I was going to show the others that my fear wouldn't hold me back!

"Okay Mr. Twister how do you like this?" I shot an barrage of fireballs but he just snuffed them out with the wind, "Oh crap."

"Very pathetic!" He waved his hand and blew me away, literally causing me to slam into the wall.

"Ow." I said getting up in time for Megan to slam into me, "Again ow."

"Sorry." She apologized before Wally was sent flying out of the building

Then he blasted Superboy and Aqualad away, "I was prepared to be challenged by a superhero! I was not however expecting children!"

"We're not children!" Shouted Robin as he threw a birdarang while I shot lightning at him but he plucked the birdarang away and redirected the Lightning to hit Superboy causing him to fall in pain

Crap! Kryptonians are weak against Magic! I thought before Mr. Twister knocked me into the pillar

"Okay this is not as much fun as I thought it would be." I commented in pain

"Objectively you are! Are you without adult supervision? I find your presence here very disturbing!"

Robin clenched his fists as we got up, "Well we would hate to see you disturbed, let's see if your more turbed once we kick your can!"

I rolled my eyes, "Okay please stop slathering the English Language!" I pleaded Megan used her telekinesis to cause a smokescreen leaving Superboy to jump into the air to pound him into the ground while I created illusions of me to distract him and to shoot lightning at him.

He blasted Superboy into Megan causing them to hit the ground hard before causing a twister that killed my illusions and slammed me into the wall for the third time

"I really hate this guy."

Then he slammed Robin and Aqualad together, "Indeed that was quite… Turbing." He left the building as I got up and teleported outside and shot lightning at him causing him to turn around, "You're a persistent one aren't you?"

"I was trained by Fate so yeah I have to be persistent!" I caused my own twister to attack him but he quickly dispelled it before grabbing me by my shirt

"Maybe I should let you be an example of what happens to those who cross me." He suggested so I teleported in time for Wally to kick him

"You okay Mystic?" He asked

I nodded, "Yeah but I'm starting to feel drain I've used a lot of magic-."

"DUDE! GET IT THROUGH YOUR HEAD THERE'S NO SUCH THING AS MAGIC!" Shouted Wally

I glared at him, "Why don't you shut up about things you don't understand!"

The others caught up, "Read his mind!" Ordered Aqualad, "Find his weakness!"

She was confused, "But I thought that I wasn't allowed to do that."

Robin sighed in frustration, "It's okay to do that on the bad guys!"

She focused before saying, "Nothing! I'm getting nothing!.. Hello Megan of course!"

"What?" I asked in confusion

"Mr. Twister is Red Tornado in disguise! He's inorganic an android, how many androids do you know that can generate Tornadoes?"

I glared at Mr. Twister, "So this is what? Something to keep us busy?" I was hurt because I thought that I was going to help the League not do this, "… Wait then why is he putting civilians in danger?" I asked out loud causing the others to think

"He wouldn't." Robin said as he took out his Utility Belt

"You brought your utility belt?" Asked Wally

"Never leave home without it! First thing Batman taught me!" He declared

Wally smirked, "Yeah right after never go to the bathroom without it."

I chuckled, "That was actually a good one KF." Then I turned to Megan, "Can you link us up telepathically?"

Superboy looked unhappy about it but he let it go as I explained my plan

Mr. Twister was causing more tornadoes when Red Tornado came in, "About time! I was starting to think that you would never show up!"

"I am here now!" Red Tornado declared causing a twister to shoot at the other android who in turn caused his own twister, "We are evenly matched!"

"No we are not!" He knocked the twister away and electrocuted Red Tornado causing him to go down, "Hold still the reprogramming won't take-." The wires went through tornadoes head, "-Long?

I smirked, "Longer than you think counting the fact that you were fighting an illusion." Kid Flash came in and kicked Mr. Twister right into Superboy who punched two holes in his chest before throwing him into the water where Aqualad was waiting and he jammed a lightning rod into his chest before activating his lightning powers electrocuting Mr. Twister causing an explosion that knocked him out of water where Robin threw exploding birdarangs breaking an arm off before Miss Martian broke the other arm off before slamming the android into the ground.

The chest opened up and a frail man got out, "Foul! I call foul!" Then Megan picked up a rock and I knew what she was about to do, so did Aqualad, "MEGHAN NO!" We shouted but she slammed the rock onto the poor guy.

Robin went off on her, "I don't know how things work on Mar's but on Earth we don't execute our captives!"

Megan smiled, "You said you trust me!" She raised the boulder to show that the man was really a robot

I sighed, "Seriously what is it with robots these days?"

Robin smiled sheepishly, "Sorry Megan."

She laughed, "It's okay Robin."

Wally picked up a robotic eyeball, "Ooh Souvenir!"

I made a face, "Okay that's just plain gross."

"Oh shut it Gary!"

Later that day I was meditating in the briefing room when I saw the others coming out of the room where Red Tornado was inspecting the remains of Mr. Twister

"Speedy was so wrong!" Said Wally, "This team is so going to work!"

Robin nodded, "Just ease up on Mystic it's his business to believe in Magic while it's your business to believe in Science."

He sighed, "Okay he's delusional but I'll ease up."

Kaldur shook his head, "Let's go home."

I smiled for a bit before I saw Superboy stop in front of Megan, "Sorry." I heard him say before walking away with Megan smiling.
