A/N: Thank you so much for the reviews and alerts! They totally make my day! I will be posting once a week on either Monday nights or Tuesdays.

Chapter two

"Well, hello goreg-" Wally stops as I turn around from the oven. The bright smile that was once on his face is gone as he takes in how I still look. "Oh."

"Hi, Wally!" I grin, trying to get the mood back. "I'm making cookies!" I gesture to oven.

"...Good for you..." He walks backwards, still staring at me and I try to hold my smile but I can feel it going away. "I have to go do a thing..."

"But-"

"See ya!" He runs off, not waving like he usually does.

Once he leaves the kitchen I frown, staring at the area where he left. Sighing, I let my head fall back to stare at the ceiling. I don't like Wally in the way of wanting more than friendship but... I don't want to lose him as a friend. Biting my lips, I look back down at my body. I should just change back and forget about this happiness. It's not worth it to feel hated and alone.

Before I can actually shift back to my female form, I hear a familiar voice of my Uncle. "Glad to see you have finally mastered it." He chuckles, I turn to him breaking out into a big smile.

"Uncle J'onn!" I jump, floating to him into his arms for a big hug. "I cannot express how I feel but I have been having... Complications." I frown, lowering myself out of his embrace.

"How so?" He hums, looking at the oven and using his power to pull out the slightly burning cookies.

"I feel like this form is best for me but the others seem to dislike it." I frown, looking downward.

His hand rest on my short red hair. "It will past, and if not, things will get better. If you feel like this is your calling, stay in this form. They will have to understand."

"I guess..." I pout, letting my body hunch in depression. "Kaldur said something of the same thing, but I don't know if I can wait for things to get better."

"Earth is a strange with their customs but we don't have to change our ways for them. Do not worry, M'gann."

I nod, forcing a smile out. My Uncle takes a cookie from the tray and pats my head as he leaves. Once again I am alone with my thoughts.

I wish... I wish I can go back to Mars...

.oOo.

Flipping through a fashion magazine, I lay on the couch hoping for some interaction with anybody. Robin is at a mission with Batman, Kaldur has important business at his home, Superboy locks himself in his room all the time, and Wally is avoiding me like the Black Plague. Artemis, I wasn't sure where she is but if I knew I would steer clear from her and her unwanted gaze. I don't understand why Wally and Artemis are acting the way they are but it is most annoying. Sighing, I place the magazine down and stand up before my mirror. I change back to my female form and then once again to my male form. Smiling, I try some of the male fashion tips from what I read only to earn a giggle from my open door.

Flushing, I turn to see Artemis leaning on the doorframe with a smirk. "You look really cute in skinny jeans."

"Artemis, I didn't notice you." I try to collect myself, mentally groaning from making contact with her in this form.

"Of course you didn't, you were checking yourself out." She giggles; walking into my room then closed my door. Crap... "So, I have a question."

"...Okay...?"

"You still like Superboy?" She strolls over to my bed and sits down. I start to stutter while denying my feelings for him. "I know you like him, everyone does. I just want to know if you still do, now that you're a boy."

"My sex has nothing to do with the people I am interested in." I frown, "On Mars we are not born as male or female so, I think the term is called pansexuality on Earth, it is possible for me to fall in love, and to find attractive, both sexes." I shrug, "I tend to like more masculine people though, male or female."

"Oh, so... You're a bottom?" She laughs, shaking her head. I blink at her in confusion but it makes her laugh even more. I need to check that out now. "Ah, well... I don't think Superboy is interested in dating and it will probably confuse him more if you stay a guy."

"I know..." I sigh, sadly, looking at my green hands.

"Hm, how about Wally? He likes you and this group does need a gay hero." She hums, her smirk getting wider.

"I thought most of us are happy already though." I blink, frowning to know that most of us heroes are probably sad for some odd reason. Flash always seem happy to me, at least.

"I mean gay as in homosexual..."

"I'm not a homosexual though, I like boys and girls. Also, Wally seems to dislike me as of now... He has been avoiding me..."

"Ugh, boys." Artemis gets up, "You want to go see a movie in Gotham? I'm sick of staying here to hang." Smiling, I nod. Even though she has been acting weirdly around me, I feel like I should go out and have some fun. "Wear skinny jeans, girls love it when boys wear them." She winks leaving the room, "I'm just gonna go get dressed."

Looking down at myself once the archer leaves, I change my clothing to be rather nice for this event without making it seem like I want to date her. Just having an outfit of black jeans she wanted me to wear, a shirt V neck shirt, and an army green sweater; I look at myself in my mirror happy with my look and just change my skin back to the few shades lighter than Kaldur's. Running my hands through my short red hair to make it look a bit spiked, I walk out of my room with a smile.

"Why are you edging her on?" I hear a harsh whisper of Wally's voice, "She's a girl! Get her to change back."

"Dude, calm you tits." I can practically feel the blonde girl rolling her eyes. "Meg likes being a boy, so let himbe one. Plus, he looks totally hot." I cannot help the warm feeling rushing through my body as Artemis calls me by male pronouns and is sticking up for me. "Everyone is pretty much okay with it but you. I don't even see why you are such a dick to him. What, are you scared liking this new Meg makes you gay?"

"I'm not gay!" He hiss, I turn invisible to take a closer look at the fight about me. I know it is wrong but I need to see this. I see Wally all red from either embarrassment or anger. He pushes Artemis away from him with a scowl. "It's not right that she is a guy."

"Well, suck it up." She shrugs, "Don't like it, leave the team." She shoves the ginger back as she walks over to me. Panicking I fly over to the television room where Superboy is watching some odd show about a boy and his dog, I become visible again. Frowning, I look at Superboy wondering if he hates me just like Wally. "Hey, Meg, ready to go?" Artemis grins out with a moody Wally following her, glaring at us. "Maybe we should get a guy's name for you..."

"M'gann is a gender neutral name on Mars." I point out, running my hands through my soft hair.

"Yeah... Well, we aren't on Mars."

Clearly.

If we were my new sex would not be an issue at all and, if anything, there would have been a huge party to celebrate my mastery of both male and female form. I want to go back to Mars...

"We can make a list for Superboy and you." Artemis smiles.

"I like my name." I frown, not wanting to change too much about me for more hate. Plus my mother gave me my name.

Artemis just shrugs as an answer. Pulling my arm as she tells the boys not to stay up late in a joke I hear a lot from comedy romance movies. Superboy gives me a frown that just reads of confusion and Wally's is one of disappointment. I give them both a fake happy smile, waving a bit as we take our leave.

Everything is like a date, except Artemis paid for most of the events. It was quite strange as she flirts with me, touching my arm when she does so and when she giggles at my confusion when I don't understand why she is doing this. I even told her I don't understand why she is treating me so differently as she paid for our ice creams, but she only answer with:

"Can't I enjoy the company if a good looking guy, who isn't brooding?"

It made little sense but I took it as a complement and said no more about it. Though, I did bring up Wally a few times in mourning of the possible loss of friendship but she just called him stupid and told me to stop worrying as she will 'kick his ass'. I did take comfort in that.

Artemis leans close to me, with the same flirty smirk, "You know you have really nice-"

BOOOM!

I turn away from her, seeing smoke arise from a bank.

"Hahahahahahahahaha! NOW THAT'S A BLAST!" Crackle a woman in a jester outfit, following another woman in green exiting cheerfully.

"Ugh, time to do some hero stuff." Artemis frowns, "I'll contact everyone."

TBC?

A/N: Wally still being a butt and Artemis being a flirt, which is a bit OOC for her… I think. Artemis is the kind who isn't afraid to speak her mind though. Oh. Summer has started but I am observing OT at a nursing home and it's sucking the life out of me soo next chapter is gonna be short. Porbably. Most likely.
