Miss Martian

M'gann nervously bit her bottom lip.

"Welcome to Happy Harbor." She muttered to herself.

Why it was called Happy Harbor was still a mystery to the teenaged Martian though. On the tour she had seen a pretty, and private, beach but that was the extent of the things that could be considered 'happy' here. The actual place where they would complete most of their training and such was built from grey stone and had high ceilings and unfriendly looking grey interior decorations. The whole building gave M'gann an off vibe, as if it had once been a happy place but was now abandoned with only ghosts of the past to haunt its rooms. J'onn was rambling in an uncharacteristic way about the structure of Happy Harbor and M'gann easily tuned him out.

The cute, albeit awkward, boy she had met in the Watchtower was set to arrive soon and she figured that he might makes things a little bit better. The alien felt herself blush. It didn't matter what planet she had come from, teenage hormones were still very powerful. She ran a hand tiredly through her straight hair. You can't be in a relationship. She told herself. Not now and not ever, it's just not safe.

J'onn paused and looked at M'gann. "Are you alright?"

She put on a smile. "Of course I am. It's just overwhelming." She gave a loose laugh.

J'onn just nodded and continued on. M'gann trailed behind him.

"Recognized Aquaman #305. Aqualad #304." A pleasant female voice chimed.

M'gann looked around in shock. "W-Who was that?"

J'onn chuckled. "That was our computer system actually. Someone must have just arrived." M'gann perked up for a second.

"Would you like to go meet them?" J'onn asked.

M'gann nodded and they made their way back through the tunnels. A dark skinned boy with blonde hair and bare feet was just appearing next to a tall blonde man.

"Manhunter!" The man boomed in a deep and old fashioned voice.

Uncle J'onn nodded. "Greetings, King Arthur." M'gann willed herself to not run over to get a closer look at the king.

"This is my niece, M'gann." J'onn introduced.

M'gann smiled. "Please to meet you your majesty."

The king just laughed. "Call me Aquaman." He rumbled graciously. "This is Aqualad, my fellow aquatic hero."

Aqualad blinked in confusion, returning from whatever day dream he had been in. "Yes, it's a pleasure to meet you." He grumbled.

Arthur gave a hearty smile and patted the young man on the back. "Kaldur Ah'm here is a bit upset, but I'm sure some quality time with a pretty girl like yourself will give him a much needed attitude adjustment." Arthur winked.

M'gann blushed and Kaldur cleared his throat. "Ignore him." He said. "My mentor here does not believe me when I say that time will heal my wounds."

M'gann's heart went out to him. "Wounds," She said. "What's wrong?"

Kaldur smiled at her sympathy. "Turns out it ain't better down where it's wetter."

Aquaman laid a hand on Kaldur's shoulder. "Perhaps I should give you a tour now?"

J'onn stepped forward. "Yes, I must show M'gann to her rooms." He smiled at his fellow hero. "Kaldur, Arthur," He nodded. "It's been a pleasure as always."

J'onn looked to M'gann. "Come now. I should show you to your rooms." She followed her uncle down a corridor to a tall steel door.

"This is it." He made a sweeping motion with his hand.

M'gann surveyed the dismal room in dismay. "It's very… gray." She said.

J'onn nodded. "You may do to it as you wish. For now though it is plain."

She allowed her hand to trail listlessly over the gray paint and gently shivered. "Who used to live here?" She asked quietly.

J'onn stood with his back to her. "I believe it was Secret."

M'gann crossed her arms. "It's a secret? I deserve to know who lived in my room first."

J'onn turned. "No. Her name was Greta Hayes, but to the team her name was Secret."

M'gann blushed. "Hello Megan. It's like Kaldur being called Aqualad, right?"

J'onn nodded. "Yes, just like I am Martian Manhunter."

M'gann smiled. "So what's my name?"

J'onn smoothed the bed sheets. "That will come in time, and it will be your choice."

M'gann thought for a moment. "Soon, like when I meet the public or soon when I meet the rest of the team?" She wondered.

J'onn looked over at her. "That is for you to decide. But for now I have matters to attend to. Why don't you familiarize yourself with the layout of the cave?"

M'gann nodded absentmindedly and J'onn left. When M'gann heard his footprints dissipate she crept into the hallway and took off in the other direction. She wandered aimlessly down the corridors until she reached a large steel door. She fidgeted with the handle, it was locked. M'gann looked around guiltily before silently phasing through. A warm wind rustled her hair and the smell of salt hit her nose. She looked around at the stretch of deserted white sand and clear blue water. A scene from Hello Megan popped into her head from when the title character, Megan, had gone to a place just like this one.

"M'gann, you're at a beach!" She exclaimed as she fell onto the hot ground and ran her fingers through the shifting sand. The cool water lapsed at her toes.

"Enjoying the Harbor?" A voice asked behind her. M'gann jumped. Kaldur laughed and came to sit by her.

"Is there large bodies of water on Mars?" He asked.

M'gann shook her head ruefully. "Sadly no; it's very cold where I'm from, and water doesn't stay thawed for very long." She laughed.

Kaldur nodded. "That's a shame. Water, in an essence, is why I am alive." M'gann looked at him intrigued.

"I am part mer." He explained. "The water is my main source of life, like fire is yours?"

M'gann rapidly shook her head. "No. Fire is actually deadly to Martians. It is fatal if we are exposed to it in a large amount." She said.

"Then I guess we have the same weakness." Kaldur replied. The two lapsed into a comfortable silent.

"You seem to bear a great burden Kaldur Ah'm." M'gann said softly.

Kaldur thought for a moment. "You could say that. Life has been… trying as of late."

She looked at him in sympathy. "I am very sorry."

He gave her a small smile. "It is fine." He looked up at the bright sun. "M'gann, would you like to see a trick?" He asked.

She smiled and nodded. Kaldur held up his hand and pieces of water danced around his splayed fingers.

"I have mastery control over water." He said. M'gann laughed as the water splashed her in the face.

"Can you swim?" Kaldur laughed abruptly.

M'gann looked embarrassed. "No, I never learned."

Kaldur jumped to his feet and help up a rough hand. "Can I teach you?"

M'gann self-consciously looked down at her white shirt and blue skirt. She held up her blue cape. "Swim in my clothes?"

Kaldur laughed. "Well, why not?"

M'gann shrugged. "Okay." She said hesitantly. She took his hand and stood up, brushing sand from her clothes. "Just let me take off my shoes." M'gann pried her boots from her feet and stepped forward hesitantly.

"Here we go." And with that she stepped into the water.
