Chapter One
Authors note: Tada! Chapter one up and ready for your hungry little eyes to read! YOU GUYS ARE AMAZING! Thanks SO much for the feedback! When I read all the reviews I literally ran around my house giggling and my family was like, "what's up?" and I told them but then they were like 'oh.' So yeah. BUT THANK YOU I LOVE YOU! Today I realized that I am the family( awesome) nerd. And apparently im the comical relief in the superhero duo with Sparrow. Im comfortable with both of these things. ~Dawn
"So what exactly is Ocean Master doing? Seeing that we have to get involved and what not." Artemis asked. The team had just finished unloading the bioship (after putting it in camouflage mode and hiding it in a abandoned alleyway, a block down from where they were staying.)
"Terrorizing citizens, kidnapping them for his own personal slaves. His usual M.O." The boy wonder explained, shrugging off his black jacket that he usually wore and exposing his surprisingly already tan strong arms.
"So what? We just wait until he strikes again, then attack?" Superboy, or 'Connor', grunted- crossing his arms over his chest.
"It is more than just that Connor. " Kaul'dar stepped up to speak, " We will investigate who has been kidnapped, who might be the next target, and learn of Ocean Masters past. But other than that.." he paused to look at the team, " We will keep low, stay in your street cloths, your usual names. We don't want to alert anyone that might be working with Ocean Master on shore."
"Awesome!" Wally exclaimed, grinning like an idiot. "Beach Day?"
"I don't think-" Kaul'dar started but Robin cut him off,
"It would be easier to observe on the beach Kaul'dar…" he smiled mischievously, secretly bumping fist with his best friend.
"I suppose…" He looked down at the lapping waves- he could just see the horizon, but Batman's words haunted his mind. "You, KF, Artemis, and Superboy can go down. M'gann and Zatanna, I will request your help with setting up rooms , figuring out dinner schedules and training sessions, also I would like to start researching Ocean Master."
"Great." Zatanna muttered, loud enough for only Robin to hear. She had really wanted to relax a bit after the long ride. She glanced out of the corner of her eye, seeing Robins sympathetic smile. Sometimes they could communicate without words, it was one of the many things she liked about him. Zatanna felt closer to Robin than anyone else on the team, even Artemis.
"What are we waiting for?" Wally yelled, scaring Zatanna out of her thoughts. " Let's get the hell out there!"
"Aren't you forgetting something?" Artemis rolled her eyes, pointing at his regular cloths. " Unless times have changed, one usually wears a bathing suit to the beach." Flushing slightly, the speedster glanced down grinning,
"Oh right, you want to help me?"
"Dork!" Artemis grumbled underneath her breath as she pushed by him to grab her suitcase, opening the door to the girls condo.
"I hope that she won't be a distraction for you?" Kaul'dar placed a hand on Wally's shoulder, glancing down at him like a big brother.
"What?" he said quickly, "No man, dude-"
"You do not have to explain to me Wally." The gilled boy smiled at his friend. He would not admit it but he knew how Wally felt for their team mate.
"Well we better get going if we want to go observe and stuff." Robin slung his arm around his embarrassed friends neck. "We'll report back later K, come on Supey, I mean 'Connor.' " Robin guided his friends into the condo to get dressed.
"Well this should be interesting." Zatanna noted, her eyes following the boys and Artemis walking down to the beach by herself. Kaul'dar sighed beside her.
"Do you think they'll be okay? Connor's only been to the beach once and that was just with us…" Megan's worried voice filled the silence around them, wringing her hands together she watched Artemis leave.
"They'll be fine M'gann. Let us go start our work." Kaul'dar reassured the green Martian with a small smile.
"Yay. Work." Zatanna grumbled sarcastically, but followed her leader and teammate.
