Chapter 2: call me Enchantress
-mt justice-
Marissa was evading Batman right now mainly because of her fear. He had asked for a blood sample and well she had an fear of needles. Now keep in mind she didn't need to know what it was for she just hated needles.
'Mari, I know you're hiding around here. Remember where I'm from,' said M'gann in telepathic communication. 'Why don't we talk for a bit?'
She was ignoring her for now.
"Why don't you give it up already? She's not coming out of hiding anytime soon," said Superboy in an irritated tone.
"How'd this even happen?" Kid Flash asked, having just arrived.
"I don't know," said Robin. "Batman asked her for a blood sample and she bolted."
"A blood sample? What for?" Kid Flash asked Batman.
"I'm trying to figure out if her powers are due to some kind of unique genetics," said Batman, lying a little.
"I doubt we will get any type of sample now. She clearly has a fear of the needle," said Aqualad. "Perhaps another time and another way."
Batman sighed and said, "Fine. I'll try again tomorrow."
"So the instant she heard blood sample she portaled out?" Aqualad asked in a calm tone.
"More like the instant I said that and showed her the syringe," said Batman, showing said item.
"I doubt she'd let you take the blood sample even tomorrow."
"Okay. But I need some kind of DNA sample," said Batman. "I'll give you all a week."
"How are we gonna convince a girl afraid of needles to give you a blood sample?" KF asked, crossing his arms.
"There are other means of getting blood," said Batman. "Like bandaids."
"I'm gonna burn anything I have if you try to take my blood." Marissa said hiding behind Aqualad.
Batman sighed and said, "Okay, look, if you don't wanna give blood, that's fine. But I need some kind of DNA sample to test."
"Not happening. I've been through too much to trust someone with a sample." Marissa made a water portal and portaled out.
KF groaned. "Nice going, Bats."
Batman gave them a stern look. And then he walked away and zataed out. Marissa reappeared. She looked at them the boys made a decision.
"Superboy now." Robin said quickly.
Superboy charged at the girl and tackled her. Aqualad used his water whips and bound her.
"KF, you're up!" Robin yelled.
"On it," said KF. And then he quickly ran past her and cut her arm. And then he came back and wiped it. "Got it."
"You guys are assholes." Marissa angrily said while they released her.
"It's purely for research purposes," said Robin, smiling while KF put away the sample.
M'gann shot the guys a dirty look and then smiled at Marissa. "I'll make it up to you."
"I'm going to swim, meanies." Marissa disappeared into the water portal.
"This was not one of our better ideas," Aqualad admitted.
"No doubt." KF said in a simple tone.
"We should really make it up to her," said Robin.
They nodded. They knew she was pretty upset about what they did. So they had to do something to apologize.
And then Miss Martian smacked her forehead. "Hello, Megan. I know what we can do. We can find her and apologize."
They looked at her strangely she walked out over to the ship. That looked like a pod.
"We'll find her using my Martian bioship," said M'gann.
"Not very aerodynamic," KF commented.
"It's at rest, silly. I'll wake it up," M'gann said with a laugh.
She held out her hand and the pod changed shape. It now had wings, a tail, and a more aerodynamic body. The team boarded the ship and took off.
- the middle of sea-
The girl relaxed in the water to calm herself. The water always calmed her. Some fish swam up to her as if to say hello.
"Hello," she said to the fish. She reached out to touch them, and one clown fish kissed her finger, making her giggle. "Now aren't you a little cutie. I've never liked eating fish. My mother always did. I hated it. You're all so cute and beautiful."
The fish replied by swimming around her. This seemed to mean they loved the complement. Marissa laughed while they did so.
Marissa loved the water ever since she was young. When they went to the sea she would swim to her heart's content.
'Marissa? Marissa, can you hear me?' M'gann's voice called through telepathy. 'Please respond. We just wanna apologize.'
Marissa took a breath trying to understand she made a signal to tell them to come. 'Come on I'm in the water. I needed a cool down.'
'We'll be right there,' said M'gann. Before they could, however, M'gann said something else. 'Hold on. We just got a call from Red Tornado. He wants us to check out the power plant. He thinks there could be a villain or something.'
Marissa took a moment before thinking. 'I'll be there in moments.'
'I knew we could count on you,' M'gann replied happily.
'Still mad.'
'Still gonna apologize. And we'll make it up to you,' said M'gann before flying away with the bioship.
Marissa took a deep breath before she swam off to help out teleporting through a water portal.
-with the team-
They made it to the power plant and were facing down a villain calling himself Mr. Twister. They were having a tough time against him, though.
Marissa took this moment in her heart. Her anger was unleashed with the water as the water turned into a huge octopus. "You will not harm my friends!"
"Interesting," Twister remarked. "You might actually be a challenge. Unlike them."
The water flashed down unto Twister. He tried to make the wind twist around him but the water crashed down so hard it smashed him to bits the water fell onto all of them making them as wet as the destroyed robot.
"Well, that was refreshing," Robin commented, his hair dripping.
"Thanks for the bath, Enchantress," said Kid Flash while ringing out his shirt.
"Uh sorry I really had no control…... I kinda just got very angry." Marissa aka Enchantress rubbed her neck before poking the destroyed robot.
"Looks like even the pilot was a machine," said Aqualad, looking over the damage.
"Cool," said KF, while picking up a robot eye. "Souvenir."
"That was really quick. Thanks to sea queen. We probably won't always be so lucky." Robin said in a calm tone.
"I agree," said Aqualad. "That's why we should take some time to practice and train together."
M'gann smiled at Marissa and said, "And before anything else happens, we're all really sorry. And to make it up to you, we can do anything you want tonight."
"Um ok let's go swimming." Marissa cheerfully said clapping her hands together.
"You got it!" M'gann excitedly said.
The team left the building and reported back to Red Tornado. Unbeknownst to them, the person controlling the robots was now fuming about being defeated by a teenage girl.
"It took her ten seconds. What kinda person has that kind of power!?"
-Hall of Justice; lab-
Aquaman was waiting anxiously outside for the results. Finally, Batman and an on staff doctor came out of the room.
"Well?" Aquaman asked.
The doctor took a deep breath and said, "I tested the DNA with both yours and your wife's. And they both match."
Aquaman's eyes went wide. "Are you saying-"
"Yes," said Batman. "Marissa is your daughter."
The shock and anger took over. Aquaman punched the wall nearest him. The impact was so powerful that it left a huge deep dent.
"She lied to me! She took our child from us!" Aquaman nearly broke down in tears, he was so upset.
Batman knelt down and put his hand on his friends shoulder. "You have her back now. I'm not gonna lie, this will be an adjustment."
Yes it would it would be hard road ahead. His daughter was alive she was near and it would take awhile to explain what happened. Plus she would need to process knowing that her mother was not her real parent.
-at mt Justice-
Marissa pulled on a cute bikini with spaghetti strings to hold it up. And it was blue.
"That's sure to get the boys attention," M'gann complimented, smiling and still in her clothes. And then she changed her clothes into a yellow two piece swimsuit. "How's mine look."
"Its cute." Marissa smiled happily she enjoyed hear own look.
"Thank you," said M'gann. "Now let's go swimming.""
The two girls walked out to the ocean. The kids splashed each other as they were in the ocean. Marissa smiled at them. Aqualad looked cute in swim shorts. Kid Flash and Robin both started racing each other on the water, while Superboy watched from the sand.
"Glad to see you are all having fun," said Red Tornado as he watched the kids play.
"Hey, RT," Robin greeted. "When's our mission?"
"You will get one when the Batman says," said Red Tornado. "Marissa, you'll be pleased to know your test shows you're in perfect health."
"Well I could've told you that." Marissa calmly responded crossing her arms. She hated that he had convinced them to take her DNA.
"Also, Aquaman will be coming to see you tomorrow," Red Tornado told Marissa.
"Oh ok?" Marissa tilts her head in confusion. She shrugged before walking off into the ocean.
"What does my king wish to discuss with Marissa?" Aqualad asked.
"He told me it was classified and for her ears first," said Red Tornado. And that was how there day ended.
