Chapter 3: Murky Vision
Hi! :) It's me again. I'm sorry if the last chapter didn't make sense as a few have pointed out, but hopefully this will shed some light on it. I Hope you're all having a great day.
Thanks to Obiwan1022, meteorthunder3 and NinjaKiwi96! Thanks to the readers too.

Just before 1:00 PM...
Jay had returned after a while, announcing to everyone that Teen Titans would be coming at 1:00 and that the team would have to be ready. So all the teens went to change then came back and stood in front of the zeta tubes in a line. Jay's sister stood off to the side. Aqura was the last to get there. She looked at her own costume. It was simply an aqua tank top, blue shorts and a really light aqua Sarong skirt. Her wavy brown hair hung over her shoulder messily, the blue streak falling into place near her face. She looked at her friend's costumes and smiled. Everyone's was so unique. Through photos of her dads she'd seen the original outfits and she found it funny the way most of the team had one's similar to that of their mentors.
Atlanta wore a suit just like her mother's only dark blue with a star insignia and around her red plaited hair was a thin silver head band. Kid Flash's also looked like his mentor's, with red shoulder blades instead of yellow. Kid needed to stop flirting with every girl except the one he loved, which was so painfully obvious.
She always liked Supergirl's which was a long-sleeved spandex shirt bearing the S-shield, short pleated gold skirt, red belt, red cape and matching red boots. Also Panther's. He was dressed in a pure black full-body spandex suit. His cowl covered most of his face and on the top were two rounded ears. This all made him look like a tribal cat and she loved that. She respected Panther, he was like the big brother she never had, and also Supergirl, who was like a sister.
The only word she could use to describe Martianboy was HOT! He wore a white singlet with a red 'X' going through the middle, long blue pants and his blonde hair hung over his blue eyes. Even when he was green he looked hot!
Then on the end there was Jay. Almost a spitting image of his father. Aqura for some reason really admired Jay. She wished she could know him better but he kept pushing her away, just like he did with everyone. She didn't care though because she would be there for him when he needed. Aqura kept a secret hidden in her heart that she couldn't ignore when she saw him. Her secret is that she had seen him genuinely smile before, but only once and very briefly.
'Huntress A01, Zayvion A02, Hawk Kid A05'
A girl with long black hair walked through with an Italian looking guy and a little winged girl. The girl with black hair wore a black, short-sleeved, full-body suit with snippets of red. Over her shoulder a red bow hung and the belt hanging from her waist was filled with many different weapons. A domino mask was covering her eyes. The boy next to her smiled smugly and glared at Jay. He had black slightly curly hair with a black top hat sitting on top. The rest of his costume was a dressy suit and tie, which made him look like a magician. The little girl wore a light brown shirt that was specially made so her beautiful chocolate brown wings were poking out, chocolate brown pants, and case of pebbles hung from her belt. The three marched right up to the team.
"Well Jay, I've got my team. I'm just waiting for our healer, Silver, and then we'll listen to whatever you want to say." The girl in black put her hands on her hips.
Jay snorted. "Lian as Huntress, I should have known. And of course you'd ally yourself with Zayvion." He spat the last part giving Zayvion his bird-glare.
The magician just smirked and ruffled Jay's hair. "Pipsqueak."
Jay pulled away and patted his messy hair down so that it looked normal. "I don't care if your my sister's boyfriend, I will rip you to pieces."
"Come at me, bro." Zayvion taunted playfully.
Jay calmed down a bit. "So you've only got a team of 4?" He asked.
Kid Flash zipped to his side grinning. "What, couldn't you find anyone else that would put up with you?"
Huntress narrowed her eyes at them. "No, I have 5. Myself, Zayvion, Hawk Kid, Silver and Nightstar."
Nightstar walked forward from her spot near the side. Jay was shocked, although only his sister could tell. He felt so betrayed and hurt that she had lied to him about something like that. Now it all made sense. He felt stupid for not finding out sooner. Anger over took everything. He was angry at himself for being stupid, Nightstar for lying, and his family for keeping the secret.
'Silver A04'
A girl wearing long black pants and a pink spandex shirt walked through the zeta beams. She carried a small pink back pack with her. Everyone stopped to look at the girl as she came closer. Shocked gasps came from most of Young Justice. They all looked at her eyes. Her blue eyes were fully clouded and it was clear that they were unseeing. She was blind. Smiling awkwardly she stood next to Hawk Kid. "Sorry did I interrupt something?"
Jay glared at his sister who looked very guilty. "We'll talk about this later." He turned his attention to all Teen Titans. "Our mentors have gone missing and we're going to find them. We need information from you guys about the Ashes. So start talking."
"No." Huntress stated firmly, crossing her arms across her chest. "My team will deal with this. They were our responsibility and we don't want you to get hurt, it's too dangerous."
Jay scowled at her. "My team and I are capable. We don't need a babysitter!"
"No means no! 1012 is too dangerous. End of discussion. Team dismissed, go home, and get some rest." Huntress and her team started walking towards the zeta tubes.
"What-Where are you going?" Atlanta yelled. Huntress just waved her hand and continued through the zeta.
Silver was the only Titan left. "I hear Red Robins not doing well. Do you mind if I see him?"
"Go ahead." Jay mumbled. "Team, get ready. We leave for to look for clues tomorrow. Dismissed." Slowly the teens dispersed, making their way out of the room. Jay started to walk away himself.
Silver tapped her foot repeatedly. "Hey, Jay, do mind showing...Uh, I mean leading me to the medical wing?" Sighing, he turned around and walked down the hall with her. The two were silent for a while until Silver broke the silence. "So, you're partially blind, right?"
Jay stopped dead in his tracks. "How do you know?" he snapped.
She shrugged. "The spring in your step is different, more heavy, and trippy. Not that I can see, I just hear. Also I sensed it with my healing powers. How'd it happen and how bad is it?"
Jay continued walking. "This stays between you and me." He growled and the girl nodded lightly. "They call it 'murky vision'. It's on and off, but lately it's been getting worse. Soon I'm going to be blind, so I train to continue on without sight. It started after I was first saved by Nightwing 8 years ago, and was initially caused by a severe concussion."
"How my people know?" She asked as they took a right.
"You, Panther, Starfifre, Batman, Nightwing, Doctors and me. That's the way I'd like to keep it too." They silently approached the medical wing and Jay led her to a door further up. "Please help Red Robin." He said gripping the handle.
"I'll do my best." She smiled at him. "Thank You Jay." He opened the door and then shut it behind her.
In Jay's room...
Jay walked into his dark room and turned on his study light. He felt absolutely miserable. 'If she knew, how many other people have noticed?' He thought.Taking off his mask he dragged himself to the mirror that hung on his wall. The image looking back was blurry and dark but once his vision came back he saw his eyes staring back. Light brown orbs with lingering clouds, fog, blindness. "Why?" In anger he smashed the mirror, shattering it into tiny pieces. Realising this he swept up the pieces and put them in the bin by his desk. "I wish it would go away." He swung backwards and lay down on his bed. After staring at the ceiling for a while he fell asleep, with a tear in his eye.
