*I would just like to say that Maya's Roots takes place before this chapter*

DECEMBER 30, 03:16

Maya POV

The whole team, including our newest member Rocket were watching the five new heroes being accepted into the justice league. The reporter sated,"You are watching live coverage of the Justice League's induction of it's five newest members. Looks like the entire League has shown up to welcome the new blood- from Batman to Captain Marvel."

Wally smirked,"I'm glad they didn't kick Billy out,"He bit into an apple,"And I love the fact that their's a ten year old on the League!"

Rocket, who I was standing next to, jumped in surprise,"There is?"

Robin elbowed Wally,"Ow," the speedster complained.

Kaldur, Robin and I all gave hi looks,"Way to keep a secret genius!"

"Hey- she's on the team now, right?" Wally defended himself.

"Superman is now handing out League membership cards to Dr. Fate," Robin and Gale both shared a look. We were all thinking of Zantanna,"Atom, Plastic Man, and Icon."

"You know I was the one who wanted to become a hero in the first place," Rocket complained,"I should be outside celebrating with him! Not hidden away in here!"

I gave here a sympathetic look, and put my hand in Kaldur's," Welcome to our world," Kaldur told her.

"These kinda things happen all the time," I told her,"You get used to it."

Rocket smiled,"Well I suppose there's an upside too," I shot her a glare. Rocket shook her head and gave me a thumbs up. Oh, okay she was happy for Kaldur and I -She wasn't gonna try and take Kaldur away from me- smart girl!

The reporter continued on,"Green Arrow welcomes his former protoje Speedy- now known as Red Arrow to this roster of heroes."

Wall cheered, fist pumping the air,"Way to go Roy!"

Kaldur smiled,"At last he has his wish."

Robin turned to the two,"The first of us to make it - no one will call him a sidekick anymore!"

"Wait," Rocket asked, her hand on her hip,"Since when is being called a sidekick a bad thing? You sidekicks we're my inspiration!"

Robin answered," well see... Six months ago it-," Robin's watch went off and he stopped talking, looking at the screen.

I fell silent,'Well that's not good.'

"A-are you sure," Artemis asked as we flew towards a plane in the smokey mountains,"I mean are you absolutely positive?"

Robin pulled up the footage from the air port,"See for yourself. This is the security footage from the Nashville regional airport," A picture of some chick was pulled up,"Facial recognition conferms that's Jade Nguyen -but you've seen her without her mask- what do you think?"

Artemis rolled her eyes after a pause,"It's Jade...Cheshire."

"Agreed," Kaldur said,"But focus on what she carries- is that the case that you saw in New Orleans? The one that got away?"

"Yes," Artemis said confidently.

"Okay," Rocket said from her chair next to mine,"I'm guessing from the mugshot that this Cheshire is the bad guy. But what's so important about that case?"

Robin pulled up the photo of the injustice league,"Remeber the injustice league?"

"An their giant evil plants- uh- yeah!" I smirked, I liked Rockets attitude!

Kaldur nodded,"The team and the league put them in prison. Bit their allies still scheme, and whatever is in the containment case seems important to their plan."

Wally being the total buttface said,"We had a chance to grab it in New Orleans but SOMEONE screwed up." he so needs to man up and admit his feelings for Artemis...

"Approaching Cheshire's jet," M'gann announced, I gaped at the jet crash scene,"Looks like their was no survivors," M'gann said after scanning the area.

We all climbed out of the Bio-ship to look around. I was in wolf form sniffing around for clues,"How come homeland security and ISB aren't all over this," KF asked.

Robin picked up a part of the plain, Mary stood next to him,"Chesire's ID was a Leuage alert. Authorities didn't pick it up and her jet didn't follow her flight plan," he turned to look at KF,"Flew under the radar. Literally. But the watchtower auto tracked the jet and recorded the crash."

"Then why isn't the LEAGUE here," Rocket asked. I sniffed the air again... Something was off about This place...

Mary smiled,"Because our Boy wonder has some mighty hacking skills and arranged to get the Alex first."

"And because Chesire and that case is our unfinished business," Kaldur told them.

"Hey guys," I called trotting back up to them before changing forms,"Is it bothering anyone else that there aren't any BODIES?"

Conner picked up a piece of the wing,"I was thinking the same thing too."

"Here's one," I gasped and looked up to see Chesire! "And it is stunning," she cooed.

I snarled. Another voice called down to us,"I am flora not fauna, I am foliage, not trees. What am I," the Riddler along with a couple of pther baddies. Riddler snapped his finger. Metal rods shot out of the rock. They turned on to create a force field around us,"Come on you can get this! I am shrubbery not grass. I-"

"Ambush," Hissed Robin.

"Didn't you think we'd be tipped you were on Chesire's trail," Riddler asked,"We're tired of your interference kiddies. This is the endgame. Ordered from above and executed by their master strategist- moi."

I rolled my eyes,"Does anyone else think that Riddler talks a little bit TOO much."

"Miss Martain is everyone linked," Aqualad asked.

"Yes"

"GO!"

We all shot into action. Mary created a snow storm. I smiled and changed into my wolf form,"Time to kick some ass!"

I ran up the cliff-face and pounced on a man with a spear-like weapon. He tried to hit me with it. But I dodged and created a sia. Which I then used to stop the spear get it inbetween to blade and throw it put of his grasp. Then all I had to do was knock him out. I got to do the three times before I looked down to see Kaldur stuck in the ground. Oh, nevermind he was up. I dodged a spear again.

"SB y-you're flying!" I heard Robin scream in our minds. I couldn't see anything though exept maybe about four feet in front of me. I dodged anouther man, knocked him out. I felt the earth tremble beneath my feet and soon I was starting to fall with it.

As I fell I grew wings and flew up to we're Gale and Robin took care of Riddler. Rocket landed after me,"Is it always like this?"

"Ya," Gale smiled at her," Pretty much," she sighed and stopped the snow storm.

Later...

"Tell me if this sounds fimiliar," Batman asked us,"You hacked league systems, disobeyed protocol and endangered your lives and Your initiative resulted in the captured of three escaped felons- proving that Warden Strange runs Bel-Reve as a cover for criminal activity," to my surprise the Bat smiled,"Well done."

Holy crap! We were getting a smile AND a complement from BATMAN! I think that's one of the signs of the second coming...

"And then there's this. Biotechnology integrated with some form of nanosercatry," Batsy said as Ion picked one of the wierd things up.

"Though I am unfimiliar with this species," Ion said," the bio-component is clearly not of earth."

Batman closed the case,"We'll take it to the watch tower for further study."

They left using the Zetatubes.

Robin turned to Kaldur,"You realize we were set up."

"Yes," Kaldur said,"Cheshire and Roddler were tipped, ready for us."

Artemis did a faceplam,"Not the mole thing again!"

Rocket walked up to us,"Mole thing? Again?"

KFexplained,"We had intell that there was a tratoir on the team."

SB spoke up,"Namely Artemis, M'gann, Gale, Fang Paw or me."

Kaldur tried to calm him down,"It is more complicated than that, " Supey knocked Kaldur's arm off of him and started to walk away,"But your recent behavior does concern me. Your attack on Mammoth almost got Artmeis killed," Supey was still walking away when he suddenly stopped and gripped his head.

"Superboy? Are you okay," I asked starting forward.

"There's something I need to do," he turned back,"There's somethin I need to tell ya. Last month on Thanksgiving," he looked down," I went back to Cadmus. Found a few things out, when I was clone only half the DNA was Superman's the other shall was human. That's why I don't have... Will never have full Kryptionan powers."

"You sure," Robin asked in his snarky way.

"Cause you sure seemed to have them today," Gale muttered.

"I've been using these," Conner pulled up his shirt sleeve to show us a black shield on his arm,"Shields. They surpress my human DNA. I get the flight, the heat vision. But I think I also get angry, well ... Angrier. I'm sorry."

Kaldur spoke first,"Where did you get those?"

Conner pulled out a metal container,"From my human father, Lex Luther."

I felt my mouth drop open and immediately closed it,"Holy crap. Lex Luther... Is your DAD?"

Conner didn't deny not confirm,"He's summoned me to Santa Prisca."

"ah... Listen," Artemis said,"Superboy's not the only one suffering from bad DNA," she walked over to the computer, and pulled up three pictures, one of Huntress, Sports master and Cheshire,"My mother is Huntress an ex-con. Rest of my family aren't even Ex. My dad's SportsMaster and he's sending my sister Chesire to fly me to Santa Prisca, too."

"That's why-"

"Yeah," Artemis said," I was so desperate to make sure none of you found out-"

"I knew," Robin said. Artemis looked at him a bit horrified,"Hey, I'm a detective. But it never mattered. You aren't your family- you're one of us."

"So ah," KF said putting his hand on Artemis' shoulder," Who's next."

I took a deep breath,"Hey guys... Speaking of not being your family..."

KF put his hands up,"I swear I was kidding."

I walked up next to the computer,"Well, you all know I was Maya McDream-"

Rocket's eyes enlarged,"Wait, YOU were the girl that went missing?"

I smiled sadly and nodded,"Yep," I typed into the computer and pulled up Shadow Master's picture and the new info on Prem,"So we all know that Shadow Master was the guy that captured me. What you don't know is he was ... My dad."

Too say you could hear a pen drop would have been too small an exaggeration.

Supey gave me a look,"So your dad was a Supervillain too? Huh, small world."

"Not really," I crossed my arms,"Just recently I found out he's not related to me by blood, just my legal dad here on earth."

Robin raised an eyebrow,"What do you mean 'on Earth'?"

"Well, when I went to Alantis a few weeks ago. I learned I was from a planet called Prem," I pulled up a picture,"It's the same as earth. Virtually in everyway, except it's human population. They all have powers similar to mine. Only they control elements. I'm able to create things because I'm one of the highest forms of Chengas- thats what the people on Prem are called- they call us Agents. My biological mom and Dad sent me here during a big war. For safe-keeping."

Kaldur looked confused,"How do you know this. I thought that we were captured by Ocean Master-"

"That's because we weren't," I felt my voice threaten to crack,"Prem, once the Green Lantern Corp found it, became on a need to know basis. The League decided that the Team didn't need to know," I turned to Kaldur,"You asked my mom to wipe your memory, claimed it was because you didn't want to hold anymore info from the team. I opted out, though.."

Kaldur's eyes widened,"I... Remember..."

"Yep," I nodded,"I had to plant the false memories I you head. That way you'd believe the whole 'Ocean Master' Story."

KF ran up to me,"So... You're an alien that was raised by a super villain, who then tried to use your powers to take over the world."

I nodded,"Yeah. Well, I'm not really an Alien - technically- Prem is Earth and Earth is Prem."

Kaldur chuckled,"How did your Uncle put it- it's like taking cake mix but putting it in two separate pans?"

Artemis walked up to me and have me a hug,"And I thought my story was bad. I'm glad you're here Maya."

Mary looked around,"So... Anyone else want to get in on this little heart to heart."

"I do," I glanced at M'gann shocked.

We all did, Gale threw her hands up,"Okay! I give up! That is the last time I try to joke with you people!"

"Queen B's been Blackmailing me. She wants me in Santa Prisca too."

"Blackmailing," Gale said," You? No way! How?"

"She knows my true Martain form."

"Bald M'gann," Robin almost laughed,"Hair's-"

"No," M'gann started to morph. I was shocked, M'gann put her arms around herself," I realize you'd never accept me of you saw what I really am."

"M'gann," Kaldur said gently,"Did we truely seem so shallow?"

"I couldn't take the chance," Boy she sounded so scared,"Being a white Martian among the green on mars. I endured constant rejection. I couldn't face that from-"

"From me," Conner asked walking towards her,"He took her hand," I've know since we mind-melded last September in Bealia."

"But that was even before we became a couple," M'gann said shocked,"Why didn't you say anything?"

"I figured you'd tell me when you were ready," Conner told her truthfully.

I smiled,"Listen M'gann. I know you were scared - just like the rest of us- about your secrets getting out. But you know what, compared to what I'VE seen in this short amount of time you actually aren't that bad. That and aI know who you are on the inside."

M'gann gave me a greatful look.

I watched from the trees waiting for my signal,"Guys" Artemis called,"Reinforcement time!"

I flew out of the trees, taking down three guys with guns. I despatched my wings before I turned to see Kaldur getting knocked into trees,"Kaldur!"

I changed forms and ran forward, knocking a few men out of my way, and then getting over to him,"Are you okay?"

Kaldur groaned but sat up,"I am fine. Hurry we must find Queen B and Lex."

We stood up and I started sniffing the ground and air. A noise made me stop,"Helicopter!"

They rose up into the air, I grew wings onto my wolf form,"I'll help," Rocket called as we started to follow. But then just as we were closing in on them- a freaking rocket launcher shot at us,"Get behind me," Rocket yelled and I didn't argue. She created a shield around us and then once the mussels stopped,"We can still-"

"No," Aqualad ordered us,"You both are needed here."

"Come on," I barked before I descended, changing forms and tackling a guy with a gun aimed at Robin on the way down. Then I proceeded to get into a hand- to - hand fight with him.

"Fang Paw move," Kaldur called. I jumped away and the ground beneath the man turned to mud. Ending this fight, Blockbuster and SportsMaster had been dealt with the same way.

I smiled and walked up to the team,"It IS always like this," Rocket laughed.

"Told ya," Gale smiled.

"Hey disaster averted," Robin smiled," feeling the Astor."

"Agreed," Kaldur smiled,"This has been a good day."

I looked around,"It might be a bad one when we interrupt the Leagues' party to have these guys picked up..."
