"What manner of creature are you?" I spoke with wonder. Her features appeared human but she was green, and floating off the ground which was also intriguing.
"I'm a Martian silly! From Mars" I quirked an eyebrow,
"What is a Mars?" She smiled, but her stoic companion remained unsmiling. There was a girl with a massive blonde mane looking incredulously at me.
"You know…the planet? Fourth one from the sun." I glanced to her, amused,
"I assume you are speaking of the red planet, I had not known there was life upon its surface." The Superboy stepped away, assuming that I was not a threat, how quaint. The group, aside from the Martian, stood clumped together looking at me with wary eyes. "Now," I declared while getting to my feet and rolling my shoulders. "I do have to ask, are any of you apart of the insultingly ostentatious group that has taken to calling themselves the light?" A younger looking boy with a mask stepped forward.
"Who told you about them?"He narrowed his eyes. "Who are you? And most importantly how did you even get in here?" I chuckled at his growing hostility.
"Be calm masked boy, I was told by Lord Apollo to rid this time of a group called The Light. As to whom I am, I am Arcamine, son of Peleus, and brother of Achilles. I am not sure how I came to be here, actually, I am not even sure of where here is." The green girl stepped forward out of the superboy's arms. Here amber eyes started to glow a deep orange. I suddenly felt as if someone was sifting through my mind. Not liking the sudden intrusion I closed my thoughts, the presence faded…as did green girls eyes, hmm…that is strange.
"He's put a wall around his mind, I can't read his thoughts." She looked crestfallen. I took a step towards her, peering at her eyes. To my amusement, the whole group stepped forward defensively.
"What do you mean? Read my thoughts, are you some sort of seer or oracle?" I asked quizzically. Slapping her forehead she said
"Hellooo Megan, I totally forgot! You've never met a Martian before have you?" At the look on my face she rushed on. "Of course you haven't, what am I thinking? We Martians have telekinetic and telepathic abilities, well and other things but that's too much at once, too much at once!" The Superboy smiled slightly, gazing at the Martian with a wistful look on his face.
"Telepathic? You mean you know my thoughts?" She frowned.
"Well no, well I can but only on the bad guys, and well you too if you let me but Superboy doesn't like it and robin said not to do it to-" She certainly is a talker, smiling, I gently cut her off.
"I do not mind, I have nothing to hide, just next time, ask for my permission. You startled me." The red head boy whom had remained silent for the conversation whispered loudly to the younger looking boy.
"Rob, how do we know he isn't a spy? What if he's here to kill us? Or eat all our food then kill us? Speaking of food I am kiinda hungry you think after this we cou-"
"Shut up Wally!"Interjected the other boy. "Let me ask the questions and stay whelmed." He turned to me. "Are you a spy? Will you let Miss M. look in your head to verify?" Confused now I said,
"Is there another among you? Who is Miss M.?" He pointed to the green girl,
"That's Miss Martian, Miss M. for short. There is Augualad but he's off with Aquaman doing sea people stuff." I turned once more to "Miss M.".
"I will allow you into my mind, you may know me, and know my intentions. I will hold nothing back." Her eyes glowed briefly and I once again felt a presence in my mind, though it was kind of pleasant. She turned to the young boy pleased,
"He's is telling the truth!" She said beaming. I furrowed my brow and crossed my arms over my chest.
"Still you have not answered my question. Do you work for The Light?" There was a general theme of no on the groups' lips and a waving of hands in front of chests. I smiled a toothy grin. "Good! For if you had I, sadly, would've had to kill you all!." There was silence, I beamed.
