Chapter 3:

"I don't like her."

Nightwing rolled his eyes. "When did we switch personalities?"

KF turned to look at him. "What do you mean?"

"I mean," Nightwing replied, turning to face the computer monitors, "you always used to be so… carefree, and I've always been… well, less so. Now you're being suspicious, and I'm the carefree one? Don't you see the irony in that?"

"Still don't like her." KF sighed. "C'mon, man, you've gotta see where I'm coming from! You're kidnapped. The Doctor's assistant just happens to know the very chemical drug that gives you the perfect chance of escape. She injects you, probably knowing you'll have the compassion to save her as well. You save her, she reports back to The Doctor from inside Mount Justice. See what I mean?"

Nightwing didn't reply as he typed up a report to Batman.

"Dude, this is serious."

Nightwing turned to his best friend. "KF, you can't seriously be telling me that you're acting like this just because of her, right?"

KF pursed his lips. "Fine. I admit there's more going on than that. But just think about it, okay?"

"I am. I just don't think that's what's going on; her being a spy, I mean. It doesn't seem right. You should've seen her face when I told her she was free from the Delta."

"The DELTA?!"

Nightwing winced. "Oops…"

"The Doctor is part of the Delta?! When did this happen?! Why didn't you tell me?!"

"Because I knew you'd react like you are now." He didn't bother answering the other question.

KF put his head in his hands and sat down in one of the computer chairs with a thump. "Jeez, Rob."

"Nightwing, not Robin. Not anymore."

"You can't be serious."

"I'm being perfectly serious. Nightwing is more age-appropriate, especially since Tim replaced me as Robin Number Three."

"No, that's not what I meant, and you know that!" KF stood. "I don't trust her, Nightwing, and neither should you."

"Everything okay?"

The two heroes turned to find Artemis there, her suit on, her mask off, her hair up and her bow behind her back. She tilted her head with a lopsided grin. "Nightwing and Kid Flash, fighting? The sky really is falling."

KF looked at Nightwing, still mad. "Artemis and I were planning on going somewhere tonight. Call us if you need us. We'll be back." He grabbed his stuff and turned to leave.

"Have fun on your date!" Nightwing called at Kid Flash's retreating back.

"Don't be dumb," was the reply, and then the two of them were gone.

"Never am," Nightwing muttered to himself as he resumed typing.

"Hi!"

I jumped at the sudden voice.

A floating green girl with short auburn hair materialized in the air in front of me. "Sorry," she apologized, "I just had to make sure you weren't a threat before I revealed myself."

"Who are you?"

"Miss Martian, but you can call me M'Gann. Nightwing said you saved his life. Good job. That was a really heroic thing to do."

I shrugged.

"So, are you comfortable? So you need anything? Some food, a couple of movies, whatever?"

I hesitated, then shook my head.

"Hmm. You sure? Cause I can bring you whatever you want."

I swallowed. "Maybe… some scissors?"

She blinked. "Scissors?"

I blushed. "My hair's getting too long."

"You have beautiful hair. A nice platinum color. Don't you want it professionally done?"

"Huh?"

She looked startled. "You have gotten your hair done before, right?"

"Uh…"

She beamed. "Well, that's great, because I've been looking for an excuse to see Rachel again! Don't worry; you are gonna love this…"

Author's Note:

I hope the ending of this chapter did not sound nearly as sappy as it did when I wrote this…

Also, so it's going to be a little slower with the next few updates, because the first three chapters I'd already written before I posted it on FanFiction. All I needed to do was type them up. But I've got to figure out exactly how I want Chapter Four to go before I type it up, seeing as there's no written draft yet. I'll try to get it done as fast as I can.

And, Lucy, dearest cousin, if you did get the time to read this, please email me ASAP and tell me what you think so far. I NEED YOUR OPINION!

For everyone else who favorited/followed this story, THANK YOUUUUUUUUUU! Please please please please PLEASE tell me if you noticed something that didn't make sense or didn't add up with the story. I'd love to hear what you think, people!

As usual, please review!

PS: Is this chapter too short?
