Hey, sorry I've taken so long. I was going to do a chapter from Tori's POV, but when I reread it, I hated it. I've been meaning to rewrite it, but between exams and rehearsals, I haven't had the time. So the next two chapters will be from Tori's POV, and then we'll be back to alternating between the two POVs.

Kate's POV
"I can't believe I'm going to finally meet the team! I hope I get along with everyone," I thought before I stepped through the zeta tube. I had been resting at Zatara's house for a few months now. It had taken me a while to get over my family's deaths. I was grateful to Zatara for letting me stay as long as I wanted, but I would be glad to be moving out. I always felt a little awkward when he and Zatanna argued. Which they did almost constantly. I usually stayed in my room, so I didn't see a lot of Zatanna. The few impressions I had of Zatanna was that she was very confident in herself, and a flirt. Not that her father would ever let her flirt.
I stepped out the other side of the zeta tube. The team, or who I assumed was the team, was waiting for me. There was a red-headed boy, a short black-haired boy, a blonde girl, a green-skinned girl, a dark-skinned boy, and a tall black-haired boy.
"Hi," I said quietly. "I'm Kate." The green-skinned girl stepped forward.
"Hey I'm Megan! We're so excited to meet you! That's Wally, Robin, Artemis, and Kaldur," pointing to each one in turn. "And this is Superboy," she finished.
My eyes widened. "Su…superboy? As in the one Dr. Desmond created? The one I got kidnapped for? The one my family died for?" I thought. It was too much. I turned and ran. I raced through the hallways blindly, not caring where I went. I just needed to get away. I stopped suddenly in my tracks. I had felt a strong magical force coming from one of the rooms. I turned around and walked into the room I felt the force from. It was kind of small, with lots of empty shelves. There was one shelf with things on it though. I walked closer. There was a red hood, an empty slot, a golden helmet, a grinning cat mask, and was that a metal eyeball? The golden helmet was where the magical force was coming from. "Hello?" I thought, reaching out with my magic.
"Hello child," was the reply. I gasped. "No need to fear me," the voice said.
"Who are you?" I thought.
"My name is Kent Nelson."
"Why are you in that helmet?"
"I agreed to keep Dr. Fate company for a while before going on to my afterlife."
"Oh."
"If I may ask my dear, why are you here?"
"I'm supposed to join the team, but I panicked when I met Superboy."
"Why is that?"
"My family died because of him."
"Really? I never heard in Wally's mind that Superboy had killed anyone."
"Wally's mind? Never mind, I don't want to know. He didn't kill my family directly. The people who created him wanted to see how well he could fight, and chose me as the test subject. They set my house on fire. I made it out, but my family didn't."
"You know Superboy had no say in what happened to you."
"I do. I just panicked when I heard his name."
"Explain what happened and apologize. I've heard Superboy can be nice, if you give him the chance."
"I will. Thank you."
"You're welcome child."
"May I ask a favor?"
"Yes."
"When you go on to your afterlife, can you tell my family that I said hi?"
"Of course dear. Now I believe you have an apology to make?"
"Thank you. Good-bye."
Third Person
The team was huddled in a circle.
"Someone needs to go after her," Robin whispered.
"I'm not. I don't do well with upset girls," Wally quickly said.
"And you don't do well with girls in any other mood either," Artemis quipped.
"Hey!" Wally shouted.
"Back to matter at hand. Someone needs to go find Kate," Kaldur quickly ended the brewing argument.
"I could go look for her," Megan volunteered.
"No need, I'm right here," A voice came from behind them. They spun around and saw Kate in the hallway. "I'm really sorry for running away like that. It's just that my family died when these scientists kidnapped me. They were the scientists who created Superboy. They wanted to use me as a test subject to see how well he could fight. When I heard his name I just freaked out. I'm sorry," she said.
"It's okay, we understand," Megan said, enveloping Kate in a hug. The rest of the team gathered around.
"So why don't you tell us about yourself, sweet thing?" Wally said, wrapping his arm around Kate's shoulders.
"Well first off, I don't like it when random guys I don't know hit on me," Kate said, sliding out from underneath Wally's arm. Robin cracked up.
"Dude!" Wally said.
"I'm a mage. I'm a healer and a warrior," Kate said.
"What does that mean?" Artemis asked.
"I can heal people and animals, read their auras, and shape my magic to fight with. I also have enhanced endurance and flexibility," Kate replied. "However, I can't heal myself, the more magic I use, the less energy I have, and I can't use my magic at all if I lose my stone," she said, holding out her arm so everyone could see her bracelet with the stone on it.
"So what can you do in hand-to-hand combat?" asked Robin.
"I'm an experienced knife fighter, my dad wanted to make sure I could always protect myself," Kate said. "Can you tell me about yourselves?" she asked.
"Yeah, I have super speed, I'm a science genius, and I'm quite the catch, or so I've heard," Wally said.
"Who did you hear that from, your grandma?" Artemis snorted, and Kate giggled. "I'm an archer," Artemis continued.
"I'm a Martian, obviously, and I have telepathy, telekinesis, and can shape shift," Megan said.
"Super strength, hearing, sight, and jump," Superboy grunted.
"I have control over water, and can shock people with my electric eel tattoos," Kaldur said.
"I can hack, fight, and I am an expert acrobat," Robin finished.
"It's nice to meet you all," Kate said.
And that's the end. I know I haven't mentioned this before, but please review. Because I only have two reviews. And I'm not that good at reading my story traffic, but I know a lot more than two people have read my story. So please review. I don't care if you love it or hate it (in which case why are you still reading it?) just tell me. Bye!
