W/n chapter 2! Woho! Enjoy! Sorry if some of the facts are off, I really don't know much about Kaldur other than a few basic things.
Disclaimer: I own nothing, except, like the writing and stuff . . . :D
The light blue light engulfed the team in the next memory. They were in the ocean, swimming in a school of colorful fish.
"This you Kaldur?" Asked Robin as he looked around at the dazzling fish. The Atlantean nodded numbly as his mind tried to remember which memory this was. Little Kaldur, who was maybe 8 years old, swam through the ocean. He looked exactly as he did at 16, but just smaller and less built, he also lacked the eel tattoos. Suddenly little Kaldur turned around and swam towards a little Atlantean city.
"Shayeris." Present Kaldur whispered, he smiled lightly but it soon disappeared as the memory of that day.
Little Kaldur was greeted by a woman with dirty blond hair and light brown eyes. She smiled brightly at the little boy and brought him into a hug. "How was your day dear?" she asked happily.
"It was splendid." The girls of the team couldn't help but aw at the high pitched voice of little Kaldur and his adorable manors.
"Wonderful, now come inside, we need to get you something to eat." Little Kaldur nodded; suddenly the team was inside the house. It was dark outside, weird, it was just afternoon.
The team turned to Megan with a weird looks on their faces. The Martian girl just shrugged. A little gasp came from the corner and the teens looked over to find a woman and a little boy trying to hide in the shadowy corner. Sounds of fighting came from outside the closed door. Little Kaldur buried his head in his mothers hair, tears streaking down his cheeks.
"Kaldur, what's going on?" the teenage boy just shook his head, and kept his eyes on the scene before them. The door was burst down, in walked Black manta; in his arms was a bloodied body of Calvin Durham.
"CALVAN!" screamed Sha 'lain 'a. she stood up and ran to the body of the Atlantian, who had been thrown into the wall.
"Trader." Hissed black manta, he turned back to find little Kaldur shaking and crying as he watch his mother try to wake his foster father. "What's wrong dear boy? Can't handle others pain?" he pulled off his helmet, his dark skin looking midnight blue in the pitch black room.
"W-who are you?" Kaldur asked. The man just smirked and picked little Kaldur up by his shoulder.
"Why, I'm you father. (Wow star wars moment)" Kaldur's eyes growing to the size of saucers. The team gave a collection of gasps and turned to look at their friend, he wasn't moving; he just stared blankly at the scene, a tear threatening to fall.
"Y-you b-black manta." He stuttered out, his face full of horror.
"Correct." With that he threw aside the young boy and walked over to his mother. He pulled her up by her hair and brought her up to his face. She started to try and wiggle out of his iron grip, but it was no use. "Uh, uh, uh, no fighting or I kill you all." She stopped struggling and looked him straight in the eyes.
"Then why are you here?" she hissed, she winced as he pulled her hair harder.
"I want what is right fully mine, I want my son." She gagged in pain before getting out."You will never have him! I won't allow it!"
She began struggling again and somehow found the will to wriggle out of his grasp. She ran over to her son and husband and held them close to her. "Stay away!" the man laughed, it wasn't a humorous or happy laugh, it was cold and unforgiving, just like his eyes.
"What will you do to protect him?"
"He will train, become stronger, and defeat you in battle." She screeched. He smiled at her and the color drained from her face.
"I look forward to our battle." He set his helmet back on his head and walked out the door. "I will battle him no latter then his twentieth birthday." And with that, he was gone.
A week later Sha 'lain 'a signed her son up for the military. He quickly became friends with Garth and they soon became inseparable.
The light blue orb floated away from the team, they were disoriented for a moment before gaining their barring. "Your dad is black manta?" asked Artemis; secretly she was happy to know that she wasn't the only one with daddy problems.
Kaldur nodded slowly. "I am sorry for not telling you."
"Hey it's okay, it's not like you're like your father, you're a great dude, kal." Wally said, trying to make his aquatic friend feel better. Kaldur smiled at the speedster.
"Okay so who's next?" Asked Conner, to answerer his question the green orb floated closer, suddenly Artemis didn't feel too happy any more.
W/n okay I have the order picked out . . . I won't tell you since that would ruin the suspense but yeah next chapters Artemis. Hmmm what to do, what to do . . .
