Chapter 2
"Guess they're right about you 3. You're not ready".
I stilled immediately in front the door, I didn't wanna go in there now! What was I suppose to say now? My breath hitched when the door was violently slammed open and this redhead nearly toppled me. I quickly sidestepped out of his warpath to which he threw a scowl at me and continued along. 'Okay then...'. I slightly relaxed when I felt Diana's hand on my shoulder and started my trek into "Awkward Tension Exhibit A".
"There will be other missions when you're ready".
"But for now, stay put". Awkward...
I didn't know what to do, shit! How was one supposed to introduce themselves when - when, this happened. "Glad you didn't bring you know who?". I looked up slightly, 'Who?'. Was there someone else coming? "Indeed".
"Wonder Woman, we're needed for a League mission. We're going to need you on the front". I looked off to my side when she nodded her head in understanding. The traitor! I couldn't do this alone, back on Themiscyra I never had to go through this. They all just pretty much ignored me when they saw me. I was pretty much unsociable. 'Maybe I should of waited a few more decades til I visited Man's World'. What am I saying?
"I have to go, try to have fun okay?". I looked up painfully slow to meet her eyes and nodded like a kid on their first day of school. She smiled and gave me a peck on the forehead before leaving with the other adults. The blush I sported was mighty darn impressive.
Then it started...
"When we're ready? How are we ever supposed to be ready when they treat us like-"
"Like sidekicks?". I pointed out helpfully and maybe that wasn't a great such a good ice breaker if the scathing glare I received from the redhead means anything. I quickly looked away. 'Today's not The Day'.
"My mentor, my King, I thought he trusted me". I felt bad for them, I really did but I just didn't know what to say. I could only offer him a small tiny smile but it must of done something since he relaxed slightly and smiled back. 'Score!'. Now if only that could work on the redhead but he was still furious and practically spitting fire in his rampage. "Trust?! They don't even trust us with the basics!". His hands were going crazy at this point and it was kinda cute but he was an idiot.. "They've got a secret HQ in space!".
"What else aren't they telling us?". There goes my effort. My albeit pitiful but still worked effort, he really was an idiot. I can't relate to them but it never helps to just dwell on it. I looked to the quiet one during this ordeal hoping he'll snap them out of it, he looked capable of it but alas my hopes were misplaced. "I have a better question. Why didn't we leave with Speedy?". I was speechless, I mean he couldn't be serious right? 'The idiots!'. Some part of me couldn't help but notice the silence afterwards, I looked up to find two shocked faces and another glare from the redhead.
I snapped.
"What?". I bit out. Seriously, what now?
"Maybe you should keep your thoughts to yourself". The redhead bit back. I said that out loud? Oh... I opened my mouth to apologize- "This has nothing to do with you so but out" -and immediately snapped it back shut. Ass!
"Why don't you just stop acting like an idiot and get over it". I snapped back and It. Felt. Good. If anything he just glared harder, I scoffed. "As if your wet kitty look phases me. So stop acting like an idiot -even if impossible- and move on". Whoa, where'd that come from? Before the redhead could retort the nice one quickly intervened and changed the subject.
"What is project Cadmus?". That seemed to snap the short one out of it. "Don't know, but I can find out". He answered with a grin and immediately rushed to the computer.
"Access denied".
"Heh. Want to bet?". I was seriously amazed. "How cool! On Themiscyra we have nothing like this. You're amazing!". I blurted out. Maybe I should seriously stop that, but the really smart boy just shot me a smug grin and a wink. I instantly smiled back 'Score! Score!'.
"Access Granted".
"All lab here in D. 's all there is, but if Batman's suspicious, maybe we should investigate".
"Solve their case before they do. It would be poetic justice". I may not have any input but I was relieved they stopped talking about 'The Betrayal'.
"Hey". He laughed "They're all about justice".
"But they said stay put". I nibbled on my lip, should I say something? "For the blotting out the sun mission, not this".
"We should go, I mean if you'll have me. Heh". I scratched the back of my head nervously. "Course!". He laughed and slung his arm around my shoulder, maybe they weren't so bad, well maybe not all of them "I'm Robin by the way". I nodded my and smiled back "Max".
"Aqua-lad but you may call me Kaldur. It is what my friends call me". This socializing thing wasn't half bad! The redhead immediately stepped in.
" you going to Cadmus? Because if you're going, I'm going". He asked stepping in between Robin and I, grinning wildly. Robin shot me a sympathetic look and I just smiled back. Maybe this was how it was suppose to be.
"Just like that we're a team on a mission?". Team? He counted me in! Giddy giddy giddy~
"We didn't come here for a play date".
And that's the end of chapter 2. Please leave a review in the review jar! No seriously review, I'd like to know how I'm doing.
