Mount Justice
October 30, 2014
"Tell me from the very beginning about what has happened." Black Canary requested kindly, her eyes and ears open. I took a deep breath and prepared myself to pour my life story out.
Black Canary is more of a hero than I am, more trained and more skilled, and though as much as I hate to admit it, I do need help. Hopefully she will be more trustworthy than the other I associated with. I sighed and began to speak,
"Well, my hero name is Violet Vision and I am currently fourteen years old," Black Canary nodded her head, encouraging me to go on.
"Before it was my duty to become a hero, I lived with my mother and father in a friendly neighborhood in Star City. We shared wonderful and memorable moments together, and I loved them very much," I trailed off for a moment before getting back on track.
"…Until about a week before my thirteenth birthday. A group of four men barged into my house, threatened my family and demanded for us to come along with them. My parents pleaded for my safety, but the cost was them going with those horrible men…" I clenched my fists and turned my eyes to the floor.
"I ran and grasped my mother and father, only to have them ripped away from me. A man emerged through the shadows and said, 'Don't worry little girl, they will see The Light, and so shall you someday." With that, they disappeared. Completely shocked senseless from the situation, I froze where I stood, my feet glued to the floor, and just stared into the empty space where my parents struggled moments before. My eyes swelled up in tears as I bolted out the door, running into the night with no sign of where they could have gone…" A tear slid down my cheek, earning a sad look from Black Canary, though I never met her gaze.
"I soon went on a rampage and desperately wanted to get them back. I sprinted aimlessly until I bumped into someone, who claimed they could help me. Being a little twelve year old, who was clouded with sorrow and rage, I took their word for it… And they trained me." I paused. "…It wasn't until recently that I discovered their evil trap to capture me into the dark side. Angry yet again, I was finally able to locate where those sinister people took my parents. I was determined to stand and fight, to get them back, but I already knew that their memories have been wiped and their minds were under their control. I couldn't and wouldn't hurt my parents but the numbers of enemies only grew until it became too much to handle…" I turned to look at Black Canary. "Before you found me, my mentor and ex-companion came and hissed at me harshly before I passed out… And now, here I am."
My story hung in the air as Black Canary processed what I had said. Then the famous, long-awaited-for question was asked, "Who was your mentor?"
I grimaced at the thought of having to say their name aloud, but responded obediently in a hushed tone, "My mentor was…-"
. . .
The Team
Batman strode into the room, which caught The Team's attention.
Wally, with three cookies shoveled into his mouth, mumbled, "How ish sshee?"
"She is being questioned by Black Canary as we speak. If all goes well, she might join The Team, but will be under close tabs. As of now, we are not sure why she was there at the warehouse that late last night or if she can be trusted. I request that you stay on guard around her at all times." Batman replied calmly.
Wally woot-wooted and exclaimed, "Yeah! Another babe is joining The Team!" as he fist-bumped Robin who stood next to him.
Batman turned around on his heel and left the room without another word, and The Team discussed and questioned who this new girl could be.
. . .
"…She trained you?" Black Canary exclaimed in shock.
I nodded, "Yes."
"But, why? What were her motives?" Black Canary pondered out loud.
"My purpose to her was to be her puppet. She tricked me into doing all of her dirty work, promising later that we were one more step closer to finding my parents. Of course, when I found out that she was playing me for a fool, I broke out of her hold on my strings and never looked back."
I stared at the ground, awaiting a response from Black Canary, but instead felt her welcoming arms close around me. I embraced back, and when she pulled away I spoke, "…Thank you for listening." She smiled warmly and said, "Thank you for sharing."
All of the sudden, in the midst of that moment, a slight strike of worry shot through me and I had to ask, "…Is it at all possible that you leave out the part about my mentor to the others? Please?"
Black Canary replied sympathetically, "Nothing leaves this room." Then, she led me out of the room.
. . .
The Team
The Team socialized in the couch space near the kitchen, all discussing random subjects that were categorized from Kaldur's adventures in Atlantis to Wally bragging about how cool vibrating his molecules was in an attempt to flirt with M'gann. But all conversation ceased as Black Canary's presence filled the room, however it wasn't only their trustworthy trainer who stepped into the room, another presence accompanied her.
All eyes turned to the two who stood in the room, Black Canary's arm around the mysterious hero's shoulders who they had found in the warehouse the night before. There was a moment of silence before Black Canary cleared her throat and spoke,
"Everyone, this is your new team member," She returned her arm to her side and gestured to The Team encouragingly, "Go ahead and introduce yourself." Black Canary finished with a smile. The girl stepped forward and spoke confidently,
"Hi, I'm Violet Vision, but you can call me Vi or VV for short, if ya wanna."
'That's got a nice ring to it.' Robin thought to himself, unaware that M'gann's mindlink was up.
Wally responded mentally, 'Yeah it does, Violet Vision. It definitely suits her sweet outfit.'
Violet Vision's attire consisted of a purple spandex leotard printed with her logo, grey tights, purple tie-up ballet shoes, a dark purple kimono that she tied back, a purple mask that hugged her face and her brunette hair tied up in a purple ribbon.
The Team also took notice to her clawed gloves and purple eyes.
'Well that's interesting,' Robin thought. 'I'm whelmed.'
'Ooohhh I get it! Violet Vision! Purple eyes! Clever!' Wally exclaimed as if he was the one who discovered America.
Artemis snorted, 'No dur, Captain Obvious!'
The Team exchanged glances until Wally gladly stepped up and shook Vi's hand with much enthusiasm,
"Nice to meet you, babe. The names Kid Flash, but you can call me Wally,"
Wally turned back to The Team and introduced them, pointing to each other hero standing there,
"That's Artemis, Aqualad, Superboy, Miss Martian and-"
He was about to point to Robin, but he cut him off.
"-I'm Robin!" He held out his hand gracefully, as if he knew the perfect and proper way to greet a girl he had just met, "Nice to meet you, Vi." displaying a charming smile.
Vi smiled back thoughtfully, quite pleased with their welcome. Kaldur then stepped forward and greeted politely, "It is great to have you on The Team, Vi. I hope you take comfort in The Cave."
"Thank you so much for making me feel welcome, I look forward to working with you guys," she responded to Kaldur and to mainly everyone in general as well, shining a toothy grin their way.
After the introductions were said, Black Canary stepped forward and spoke,
"I will be taking Vi to gather her things. She will be living here in The Cave with Superboy and Miss Martian from now on."
Miss Martian squealed,
"Yay! This is going to be so much fun!" she exclaimed overjoyed and beamed in Vi's direction, who beamed just as brightly.
"We will be back in a little while, and when I return we will start training for the day." Black Canary said before leading Vi to the Zeta Beam.
. . .
Before Black Canary stepped into the Zeta Beam, she turned to me and said, "I will register you as a guest for now in the Zeta Beam. The rest of The Justice League would like to observe you for a while until you earn full Team status," then she looked at me sympathetically and continued, "I told them that you could be trusted, I trust you," she smiled, "But the rest of The League would like to see for themselves and-" I gave her an understanding smile and said,
"It's okay, I totally understand."
"Are you happy that you are joining The Team?" Black Canary asked kindly.
"Yes, very. They all seem like very great people." I responded with a smile. "This place will take some getting used to, but I know every step of the way will be super fun, and it's kinda what I need right now. I've now realized that I can't always accomplish everything on my own…"
Black Canary put her hand on my shoulder reassuringly and said, "You won't ever be alone again. You can count on us."
Just then, footsteps could be heard approaching, and I turned to see The Team standing a few feet in front of Black Canary and I. They all smiled welcomingly, Miss Martian beamed, and Artemis gave me a look of reassurance as Superboy stepped forward and smiled, "Welcome to The Team."
