I'm so sorry for not updating!

Unlike my other fanfic, this will probably not have any references to the future of the team.

XD

Disclaimer: I don't own this, because if I did-

Dick: She's going off on her rant

Wally: Again

Artemis: Shut up you two.

Me: Because if I did they would have updated the show!


Talia stared open mouthed at her surroundings, taking in the view from above.

Quickly she shut her eyes and winced.

I can't stand heights. Why did I put this thing on in the first place?

Without opening her eyes she quickly jumped from the rooftop to test her theory.

She was right, no sooner had she stepped off the roof than she found herself flying.

"Okay, I take back what I was thinking earlier about flying, I can't do this!"

The feeling of flying disappeared, replaced by the sense she was falling.

Talia shrieked, opening her eyes and flailing her arms in an attempt to fly again.

She turned her face toward the ground, filled with horror as it came closer and closer.

Quickly she closed her eyes an crossed her arms in an attempt to shield herself.

The voice was echoing in the background, shouting her name.

"Talia!"

Her eyes flew open.

She placed a hand to the side of her head to make sure she was uninjured and found herself covered in sweat, gasping for breath.

"Talia?"

Her eyes scanned the room for the source of the oddly familiar voice, finally resting on the face of Kaldur'ahm.

"W-what happened?"

"You were crying out. I decided to investigate and avoid embarrassment for you by choosing not to alert the others."

"Oh."

"Correct me if I am wrong, I assume this is not the first time this has happened to you?"

She touched her neck before pulling out the chain holding her ring.

"Your assumption is correct."

She hesitated a moment, fingers wrapped tightly around the ring, before looking him in the eyes.

"I need to talk to someone to talk to, someone I can trust not to tell my father and his associates. Can I trust you?"

He raised an eyebrow.

"I-never mind. Forget I asked."

She stood, stretching slightly before walking toward the exit.

"I have to wonder if the old boy wonder still knows everything about everyone."

She paused in the doorway to smile at him. "Tell Nightwing I say hello."


"So, who is she?"

"I'm still not going to answer that."

"Come on, please!" Secret pleaded.

"No is no."

Gar looked at the girl and tried not to smile, she had crossed her arms and was pouting.

"Mature, very mature."

"Shut up!" She snapped.

"Fine. What was the deal with the guys who were after you?"

"That's a long story."

"Well, unless something happens we're probably going to be together for a bit."

Secret raised an eyebrow. "You're sticking with me? I figured you would have left for home by now."

He laughed and smiled, obviously embarrassed.

"I would have, but I have no clue where I am."

Great, I end up with an idiot who also happens to be directionally challenged, just my luck.

"You wouldn't happen to have any relation to Miss Martian, would you?"

"She's my sister."

Secret placed her face in her hands. "Oh, that's just lovely."

"How so?"

"I'm on the run from the DEO."

"The what?"

"That's anther long story."

The fire's bright glow began to dim slightly before flaring to life again.

Secret's eyes quickly darted around the small cave.

"They're here. Get out of here."

She turned and saw her friend investigating a small ball leaking a gas from within.

"Cool, what's this?"

He picked it up, triggering an electric shock and falling to the ground motionless.

"Garfield!"


Garfield looked up, Marie was watching him carefully from the rear view mirror.

"Don't try anything, understood?"

He looked up at her with innocent eyes.

"What do you mean, mom?"

"You know exactly what I mean."

M'gann turned slightly and gave him a questioning look.

Gar ignored it and turned to Conner.

"So, have you gotten better at picking flowers yet?"

Conner groaned and sent a pleading look at M'gann who was trying to muffle her laughter behind her hand.

Sorry, Conner, you got yourself into this.

No I didn't, M'gann, you just like to see me losing.

Well, we all need to fight our own battles every now and then.


"Just when I think I can get a break, you guys must really like bothering me. You haven't tried this hard before."

The man grinned. "I've got a deal for you. come with me and I'll let your friend go."

She looked over her shoulder, the others were surrounding Garfield.

Secret bit down on her lip.

"What will you do to him?"

"Why? Afraid your boyfriend will get hurt?" Ra's taunted.

"He's not my boyfriend."

"I know. Let me sweeten this pot by offering to ignore the whereabouts of my old apprentice, Cheshire."

Secret's eyes widened.

He grinned, his words had obviously struck a nerve.

"You promise? You'll leave Cheshire and Garfield alone."

"I keep my word. I won't harm Cheshire or her family."

He held out his hand. "Deal?"

"Deal."

They shook hands, her eyes narrowed slightly as something silver flashed in the sunlight.

"Why you!" She raised her fist to punch him but felt a cold metal object enter her body, followed by warm sticky liquid oozing out.

"No one said I wouldn't hurt you though. We assassins will get the job done, one way or another."


Finished the chapter, not as long because I was having writers block.

The whole reason for the little supermartian fluff is mostly because of my friend Alexa. Get off of my case girl!
