AUTHOR'S NOTE: Helloooooooo everybody! Long time, no… read?
Yes, I'm terrible. I'm sorry. I've been crazy busy with horses and school and an extreme case of procrastination (it tends to be triggered by anything DC)
Head's up, saying this chapter is longer than the other ones by a margin would be the understatement of the year… IT JUST KEPT GOING, AND I COULDN'T STOP! Sorry if it takes you till Halloween to finish reading this.
Unfortunately, there's still no development on the YJ S3 field as of yet. It's pissin' me off… I'm pretty confident that we'll get it though, guys, just gotta #KeepBingingYJ
So far, the voice actors/actresses of Miss Martian, Impulse, Aqualad, and Tigress (probs some more) have already shown very clearly that they'd welcome Season 3 and embrace the chance to portray those characters again. Now, if we could just get Alyson Stone and Jess McCartney…
BUT HOLY SHIT GUYS, WE'RE GETTING A(NOTHER) BATMAN SOLO FILM! YAY! Starring Ben Affleck, written and directed by Ben Affleck. Because he's Batman. (BTW, seriously hoping it's gonna be a UTRH storyline, cos that'd be sick, and we all need some more Jason in our lives)
BTW, a special thanks to MiriB, who's been supporting this fic from the beginning (sorry I haven't replied, fanfiction site's been a bit of a bitch recently :/ ) hope you like the first section of this chapter
Without further ado, ENJOY CHAPTER 9, the longest chapter to date!
CHAPTER 9: Secrets 2.0
GOTHAM CITY
September 10, 22:35 EST
'My heart's a stereo, it beats for you so listen close. Hear my thoughts in every no-O-ote! '
'Ha – oh my god!'
'Robin, stop it, you're encouraging the delinquent.'
'Aww, come on, BG! It's your favourite song, I thought you'd be a bit more enthusiastic about yours truly singing it, and singing it with style. And I think I'm more of a relinquent, if you don't mind me saying.'
Batgirl couldn't help rolling her eyes and letting out a very obvious scoff at his antics and wordplay. 'Last time I checked, Douche Wonder, that was your favourite song. My favourite song happens to be a bit more…'
'Explicit?' Robin said, piping up beside the black and yellow clad superheroine.
Nightwing patted the younger man on the head, before tutting at his redhead bestfriend. 'Tsk tsk, BG, I hope you realise that Douche Wonder will be short-lived? And please tell me you haven't been letting Tim listen to Hollywood Undead again- ow!'
Robin glared at the former Boy Wonder, pursing his lips. 'Yeah, well, that's what you get for mentioning my S.I., you idiot! And FYI, I'm sixteen. I can listen to whatever I want.'
'He has a point, you know', Batgirl said without lifting her gaze from the city before them, with one foot on the head of a gargoyle as she leaned onto her knee.
The three, young heroes looked below them, taking in the rare, beautiful sight of Gotham's colourful nightlife. There was some celebrity in town who'd been doing a hero work themselves: visiting the hospital, local orphanage, funding a new park, the usual publicity stunts. The mayor had decided to have a bit of a light show around the city as a sort of 'thank you' for all their service. How Batgirl wished they got that kind of appreciation. But she wasn't going to complain too much, as the bright array of colours painting the bland buildings made the compulsory Thursday night patrol more bearable.
She'd been so lost in the glorious colour scheme, she was startled back into reality by a black and grey hand clicking in front of her eyes.
'There she is!' Nightwing exclaimed as she wheeled around to face the Bludhaven resident. 'Thought we'd lost you to the light, Batgirl. Might've had to start calling you Mothgirl. I can see the Rogues trembling in fear already.'
'Especially Killer Moth. Could you imagine?' Robin exclaimed mockingly, joining in with Nightwing's teasing.
'Hardee har, you two. Forget being vigilantes; you both have a guaranteed career in comedy'. Jumping down from her post, she walked over to the two boys, resting her hands on her hips. 'Anyway, clowns, this section is obviously clear. That's 50 out of 52 done and dusted. We'll have to remember to keep a close eye on Sections 8 and 37, though. But right now, we should go and investigate Section 51, see if that fishy activity going on there from 3 weeks ago is still… well, fishy.'
Robin squinted his eyes. 'How-?'
'She remembers everything, Rob. Great for some things for us, horrible for others…' Nightwing replied for a knowing glance at a smirking Batgirl.
'He's right, I remember everything. So think twice before you try to borrow and return my earphones without telling me', she said while Robin began to lower his head slowly. 'Bt-dubs, Wingnut, the correct term for my superpower is 'eidetic memory'.'
Nightwing just smiled at her. 'Okay, smart ass. Hope that 'eidetic memory' has helped you to recall what we all have to attend on Sunday-'
'The Annual Wayne Charity Ball. Held at the old uptown museum. Starts at 7:00pm sharp. Definitely not black-tie.' Batgirl made eye contact with the black and blue hero, expecting to see some sort of look of disbelief plastered on his handsome face. Yet, there was a prominent, and very startling smirk smiling straight back at her.
'Yep!' He piped up, making his way over to her and taking her chin in his hand. In a slightly seductive manner too, Batgirl thought. She knew that he knew that none of those tricks worked on her, however. There was almost nothing he could do to surprise her these days.
'And I knew you'd be lacking in the pretty dress department, Miss Tough, so I bought you one.'
Okay, that could work. She could vaguely hear a snicker coming from Robin's direction as her mouth hung open in Nightwing's hand.
A dress? Seriously, Dick was practically broke as it was, with travelling the world and everything. Where on earth had he found the money for a dress? No, a gown?! But the biggest question of all, the one that whispered at the very back of her mind was why? While they'd almost been an item here and there, above everything else, they were best friends. They'd been that way for more than a decade, so they often got each other stuff when the other didn't or couldn't get it. But the best thing Dick had ever bought her before then was a sterling silver necklace with her Bat symbol on it, and that had been as a mark of her first year as Batgirl. But a gown…
'Um…' she thought out loud, for once, lost for words. She'd been trying to formulate an answer when suddenly a flicker of movement caught her eye.
Pulling out of Nightwing's grasp, she went over to the ledge and peered over it. 'What the…'
Nightwing and Robin ran to her side, looking curiously at her perplexed expression before following her line of vision. 'What in the…'
'Who's that?' Robin queried beside his adoptive siblings, not daring to look away from the sight below. 'I've never seen them before.'
Batgirl and Nightwing exchanged a nervous glance over the younger boy's head. They'd never seen the sight below either. Looking back down, Nightwing whipped out a pair of binoculars, and the others followed suite. Peering through the lenses, Batgirl could see the previous commotion in a much grander scale: it was occurring behind an abandoned warehouse, there were approximately eleven civilians, no, certified drug dealers, as the enhanced binoculars told her, and there was a strange figure in the middle of them. Narrowing her vision even further, she saw he wore sturdy boots, tight dark pants, a brown leather jacket and… a red helmet? The bright crimson headgear covered his entire head except for two tiny, white eye slits, not unlike the Bat-family's.
The strangest part of it all was that underneath his jacket was a plain black shirt, with nothing on it. Except for a red bat.
It appeared like Batman's, except more solid. Taking away her vision impairment, she glanced to her companions. 'What'd you guys reckon?'
'Possible Bat-fan?' Robin suggested with a raised eyebrow. 'Crazed, idiotic Bat-fan?'
Nightwing pursed his lips and narrowed his eyes down below. 'I don't think he's an idiot. His posture shows no fear or nervousness, only extreme confidence. I think we should try and get in closer.'
Batgirl and Robin nodded in response, and the trio grappling-gunned their way over to a closer building, until they had a clear view of the spectacle unfolding below them.
'Good', Batgirl said as she crouched, peeping over the ledge. 'Now we can listen in.'
A shock passed through her suddenly and she flinched away. Looking next to her, she realised that Nightwing had come to set himself down beside her. Right beside her.
Freakin' hell, Gordon! she cursed to herself, You've been fine for five freaking years. Why's Hunk Wonder only getting to you now, you wimp?
Letting out a breath, she let herself fall back in place beside him, their sides brushing as they focused on the sudden shouting before them. Robin nestled in on Batgirl's other side, barely moving as he looked down.
'Are you fuckin' jokin'?' a thick Jersey accent called out below them. Peering over the ledge again, Batgirl saw it came from a round man with an open V shirt, a gold chain around his neck, and thick-as-hell chest hair. 'What makes you think we're gonna do what you's tellin' us?'
All eyes went to the mystery man. He remained quiet, merely pulling out a bag from behind him and chucking it before the criminals. His eye-slits narrowed as he pulled out a handgun, gestured to the bag, and with a distorted voice said, 'I never joke. Go on. Open it up.'
A few of them exchanged cautious glances before one eager, younger man stepped forward and unzipped the bag with ease. Suddenly, a mixture of horror, disgust and fear rolled onto his face, and he backed away, throwing up almost immediately. As other people saw the contents of the bag, some fainted, more puked, but most were just speechless.
'Holy crap…' Nightwing breathed out, eyes widening beneath his mask. Batgirl raised a concerned eyebrow at him until she heard a gaging noise on her side. Whipping her head around, she saw Robin with a clenched fist over his bulged mouth, trying desperately to settle his stomach.
Raising herself up higher, Batgirl peered over more than before, until she saw what had left everyone so sickened. Oh my God.
A good 12 human heads sat in the bag, some fresh, some quite old. All their eyes' looked up at the living people above with glassy, lifeless stares. Some had expressions of last-second defiance, their lips curled up in a snarl, whilst others wore sheer terror.
Who is this guy?
The man before them stayed calm, content even, resting a relaxed hand on his hip, his other held the gun loosely at his side. 'Those are the people who've crossed, vexed, disobeyed and generally pissed me off. Some of them, like O'Donnell here', he said, pushing against a face with his gun, 'they met their end pretty quick. Capture and behead; simple. But people like pathetic Falcone Jr. over there', he said as he nudged another with his boot, 'well, I got a few screams outta him before I sent him off to hell. So gents, the question is, do you wanna end up like O'Donnell, Falcone, or do you wanna save your necks by doing what I say?'
Batgirl was still listening in, but she couldn't take her eyes away from the horrific sight of the heads, and she could barely stop the bile rising up in her throat. Does this person have no remorse? No conscious?
Slowly, all the people below started nodding their heads, each fearing for their lives. Batgirl could swear she saw the smirk through the blood-red mask. 'Awesome', he said menacingly, his voice disfigurer making it come out like a snarl. 'I guess I'll see you all later. Oh, and keep the bag. You losers could probably use the motivation here and there, and for promoting my name.'
As he turned to walk off, one of them, a woman dressed in a pantsuit, stepped forward and said, 'Wait! What is your name?'
He swivelled his head around, showing off his muscular neck to the people above. 'I'm the Red Hood, motherfucker.'
With that, he raised his gun up to the pitch-black sky and let off two shots, and disappeared into the night.
Batgirl looked up and slowly turned her body so she was lying on her back. It was only then that she realised she'd barely breathed in those few minutes. She barely felt Nightwing and Robin shift beside her to prop themselves in the same position.
'We should've intervened', Nightwing finally breathed out after the silence had become too much.
Robin looked away. 'I'm not sure any of us were in the right mind frame to take that situation on head first. I mean, I wasn't the only one who nearly wet my suit, right?'
Batgirl laid a reassuring hand on his quivering arm. 'Don't worry Robin. I was definitely rooted to my spot after that. Besides, I think it was better just to gather some intel this time around.'
Nightwing suddenly swung his head around to face the other two, teeth clenched. 'Oh yeah? Tell me, Batgirl, what intel did we gather exactly? 'Cause from where I was standing, we basically know nothing!'
Furrowing her eyebrows at the infuriated man, she hissed back, 'Enough, Nightwing, we got enough! We've now identified a possible new crime boss and a definite new serial killer, and if you'd actually bothered to pull your head out of your own ass, you'd realise that Robin managed to get some photos and lo, some freaking evidence! So head in the game, and calm the hell down.'
Nightwing had backed away, eyes wide once more. Even Robin looked startled by Batgirl's sudden outburst, and even slightly impressed. The auburn-haired girl smirked at the shocked Nightwing, and just for kicks, maybe a slight bit of satisfaction, leaned forward and pressed her lips against his hot, sweaty cheek. She could feel him briefly tighten under the sudden contact, but he soon relaxed again, and she could feel a silent sigh escaping him. Nailed it, BG, nailed it.
Pulling away, her bright blue eyes met his, though covered by the apparent expressionless mask. She let a hand slip away from her belt and toward one of his, grasping and squeezing it firmly, but comfortingly. Raising her eyebrows worriedly at him, she said, 'We're all freaked out by that, and it's definitely the last thing we want to deal with right now. But we're Bats; we've conquered worse, we'll conquer this.' Looking behind her, she reached for Robin's as well, and holding both their hands, she declared, 'Together.'
Robin squeezed back, and with a tight smile replied, 'Together.'
The two of them then looked to Nightwing, who seemed to overcome most of his shock, and shook his head with a half-hearted laugh. 'This is like an 11 on the scale of cheesiness, but yes', he said as he looked into the eyes of his Teammates, 'Together.'
With one last look, they all got to their feet and pulled out their grappling guns, aiming them at a neighbouring tower. Nightwing went first, then was followed swiftly by Batgirl. Just as Robin prepared to pull the trigger, a flicker of purple caught his attention. Lowering his device, he narrowed his eyes and looked around, yet it seemed to have disappeared. Could it be…
Pressing on his com, he radioed his companions, 'Robin to Batgirl and Nightwing. Something's caught my eye over here. I'm just going to do a quick investigation, but I'll radio if I need help. Otherwise, I'll meet you at Section 51.'
'Acknowledged, Robin', Batgirl's voice rang clear in his ear, the sound of rushing wind combined with it. 'See you soon.'
'Be careful, Rob. Nightwing: out.'
Taking his hand away from the earpiece, he furrowed his eyebrows and ran toward where he'd last seen the movement, standing on the opposite side of the building, right on the ledge. Where are you?
Suddenly, something jumped out of the shadows below him and temporarily blocked his vision. He stumbled back, whipping his head around, electrified staff out, only to see the familiar purple clad vigilante.
'Woah, easy there, tiger', she said, hands out in front defensively. 'I come in peace, I swear.'
Chuckling at himself, mostly in embarrassment, he flicked the staff back into its compacted state and attached it his belt. 'Sorry about that. Natural reflexes tend to take over when purple girls jump out from underneath me.'
She waved her hand dismissively. 'Nah, s'alright. I'm sure that's what we'd all do.'
Unable to tell whether she was mocking him or not, he walked over to her. 'So, what're you doing here? I sort of need to get back to patrol.'
She looked over his shoulder, as though watching for something, before swinging back around again, hands held behind her back. 'Well, I don't see a patrol, so I'm gonna steal your time for bit. M'kay?'
'Okay?' he chuckled again, not sure what to feel.
Suddenly, a serious feel came over the young vigilante, and she took steps toward him until Robin had to tilt his head down to look at the shorter girl. Apprehension prickled under his skin as she looked up at him, allowing him to see part of her face for the first time. Soft, electric-blue eyes stared back at him, with golden eyebrows furrowed in a serious expression. He gulped.
Suddenly, a hand touching his sent a zap through him, and he looked down to see her hand over his own. What're you doing, Tim?!
However, when she took her hand away, he saw a small device now placed neatly in his hand. A USB. A silent 'thank you' went to God. Geez, you're an idiot…
'What is this?' he shook his head and looked back at her.
She scoffed. 'What's it look like, genius? A drive. It contains data I've collected on the Red Hood. I saw you and your pals staring him down like a hawk before, and thought you could use some help.'
Taking a step back, she crossed her arms and looked over the city. 'I've been tracking him for weeks. It surprised me when I found out that this was your first encounter with him. He's notorious; he's already built up quite a name for himself. I've seen people quivering in fear when they hear it.'
Turning back to him, he could faintly see her serious expression beneath the hood. 'Watch yourself, Robin. This guy doesn't kid around.'
He couldn't help but scoff at her last words. 'Watch me? Don't worry about me. I've got Nightwing and Batgirl and heck, I've got Batman. I'll be fine. But from what I know, you're doing this solo.'
He ran a hand through his loose hair. 'You know, I'm sure you'd find this all easier and safer if you had someone to watch your back. If you want, I can talk to Batman about him training you-'
Her electric eyes flashed with fear for a split second before being flooded with rage. 'I don't need help from anyone, especially not him! I don't want my life secrets being known by any of you people-' she suddenly broke off, realising she'd said something wrong.
Robin's eyes narrowed in curiosity. What was so bad about her secrets? Why didn't she want any of them to know? Sure, he could absolutely respect wanting privacy and wanting to protect secrets, but what could this perky, spirited teenage girl possibly want to hide?
Resting a hand on her tense shoulder, he said, 'I'm sorry I said anything. I didn't mean to offend you in any way. My offer stands though, and if you ever change your mind, just let me know.'
He went to leave, but she rushed out and grabbed his arm. 'Wait!'
She sighed, looking down. 'I-I'm sorry I lashed out like that. What I meant to say was that I'd love to work with you. Nothing would make me happier.'
Robin couldn't stop the little skip his heart did.
'But just you, okay? No one else from your messed-up family can find out, especially not Batman.'
Hiding a secret from Batman, the World's Greatest Detective. Piece of cake.
Slowly, he nodded his head. 'Okay. It's our little secret.'
He could see her eyes smiling from beneath the hood, and he didn't need to look beneath the mask below her eyes to know she was beaming like no tomorrow. She was back to the happy, excitable badass he'd seen the first time.
'Sweet! Good thing that drive also contains my contact details, hey?' she asked with a wink.
With that she made her way over to the ledge and pulled out an indigo grappling gun. Robin couldn't help but scoff. He walked over to her, arms crossed.
'I was just thinking: If we're gonna be working together, then I'm gonna have to call you by something.'
She turned to him. 'Why not just 'Violet Vindicator'?'
'Because it's lame', he said simply.
She thought for a moment. 'Hmm, nope! I already told you, I'm not telling you a single thing.'
'How about Spoiler?' he blurted out, unable to keep the words to himself.
Furrowing her eyebrows, she raised a questioning hand to her chin and stroked it. 'Well, I like the irony of it… 'Kay then, Spoiler it is.'
With that, she tipped her weight back and began to fall off the building. 'Smell ya later, Robin. Spoiler: out!'
He ran over to where she'd just fallen, only to find she was swinging over the busy road, and disappeared into the darkness of another alley. A smirk crawled onto his face, unable to hide his happiness at their encounter. Our little secret.
Glancing down at the drive, he pressed his com once more. 'Robin to B and N. Do you copy?'
'Batgirl here. I read you, Robin.'
'Go ahead, dude.'
Robin rolled his eyes at Nightwing's flippant response. 'Okay, well, you'll be pleased to know I've collected some much needed intel on the Red Hood.'
'What? How?!'
Well I can't tell them the truth! 'Tracked down one of his flunkies, and he apparently had quite a bit to tell. I recorded it, so I'll let you guys know what I found out once we're back home. But anyway, I'm on my way now.'
'O-okay, Robin, see you soon. Batgirl: out.'
'Nightwing: over and out.'
With that, Robin pulled out his grappling-gun and aimed it in his Teammates' direction. And as he sailed over the busy street, he thought to himself, Just another night in Gotham City.
NEW YORK CITY
September 11, 10:12 EDT
'Oh my Glorgnoff, M'gann, this is spectacular!'
The Martian, now disguised as her civilian self, looked to the Tamaranian with a smile. The two alien women stood in the middle of Time Square, looking up at the magnificent sights before them. Whilst M'gann had seen the iconic destination many times both in mission and for fun, seeing her new friend's face light up like a Christmas tree made it so much better. She'd cast a disguise over the beautiful, yet strange alien's complexion, so she appeared as a normal, yet incredibly tall, slim Caucasian with wavy, dark auburn hair and striking green eyes. She spun around, a smile clear on her lips and pearly white teeth as she stared up at the large screens and towering buildings.
'It's so incredible!' she exclaimed as she faced M'gann again. 'We have similar structures on Tamaran, but none quite like this…'
Smiling at her friend, she rested a on her shoulder. 'I'm so glad you like it, Kori, but remember; there are a lot of people around here, and their mostly consumed in their own thoughts. I mean, they didn't even recognise Henry Cavill when he stood right under that billboard for his upcoming movie*. But if you start talking about things they don't understand, they may listen in, and we can't afford to have that happen. So, when we're shopping, and we get asked… what's my name?'
'M'ga- My apologies, Megan.'
'Good', M'gann nodded. 'And what's yours?'
'Korrie. But with a 'K'.'
'And it's short for…?'
'Korrina.'
'Well done', she praised the frizzled Tamaranian. 'I'll have to check with the actual Earth girls, but I'm pretty certain you could be counted as a bona fide human.'
After she flashed her another brilliant smile, M'gann looked to her newest friend. 'Well, Korrie, whenever you're ready, let's get you some clothes
M'gann felt the bags weighing her arms down, even with Martian super-strength. They'd covered outlets such as OAK, Coclico, Barking Brown and Fanaberie. So far, they'd bought several pairs of shoes, multiple pairs of shirts, shorts, and skirts, and dresses. So many dresses… To be frank, she'd begun to feel so overwhelmed, she'd forgotten which shop they were in now. She could just make out smart, classy outfits and stunning dresses.
She watched on as Koriand'r looked upon a purple ombre dress with such delight, one might've thought she'd just gotten a puppy. Glancing across at M'gann, she raised a very giddy thumb with a ecstatic smile on her face. The shapeshifter couldn't help but have a flashback to when she'd first arrived on Earth, and how innocent, naïve and excited she'd been. Oh, how she'd changed over time.
'Madame? May I 'elp you?'
Flicking around, M'gann saw a middle-aged, well-groomed woman in front of her, with blonde hair melting into silver.
Blinking, M'gann looked down at the tens of thousands of bags she was carrying. 'Uh, no, no it's fine. Just helping out friend.'
The woman glanced behind the auburn-haired girl's frame and her eyes widened in surprise, making M'gann cringe. Stealing a peak, she looked behind her to see 'Korrie' looking at a pair of high heels like they were gold. Kori…
Chuckling self-consciously, she looked back around to the shop assistant. 'She's from, uh, out of town. 'Loves clothes, but doesn't get out much' type, you know?'
The woman raised an eyebrow at her, the friendly face now sceptical. 'Can't say I do.'
With that, she walked off, leaving M'gann with the tens of bags and one very excitable alien.
Well thank Mars that that's over now, M'gann thought to herself as she and Kori starting sipping at their respective beverages: M'gann with her Ice Mocha and Kori… a strawberry milkshake.
After taking her first sip, Kori's eyes widened and she pulled away with a look of awe. 'This concoction, M'g-Megan – it's pure brilliance!'
Giggling, she said, 'Yeah, that's what I thought when I first tried Earth drinks. Just wait until you try coffee.'
Kori looked up at her.
'Actually, maybe we'll keep you away from coffee.'
She shrugged and settled back down to her exciting, new drink, sculling it down eagerly. M'gann watched her with fascination. There was still so much that they didn't know about her and her friend, Raven. While Starfire had been completely cooperative with questions, Raven had been less than willing to open up about her past when they'd pressed for further information. M'gann had tried reading her mind once. She swore she'd never try again…
But as she sat down with the pretty, peppy alien, she took the chance to get to know her new friend. 'So Korrie, how've been finding your new life here?
'Quite the enjoyable', she said, gulping down the last of her milkshake. 'Your customs are new and strange, but you all seem extremely caring and welcoming. Especially the Team.'
'Is it very different to life on Tamaran?' she asked nonchalantly.
'Yes', she replied with enthusiasm. 'Tamaran was once a… what's the word… civilisation of peace and tranquillity. But recently, it has been ravaged by war. Children have been separated from families and either killed or the manipulated.' She looked away uncomfortably. 'I was supposed to be killed along with my older sister, but Raven rescued me before they could. I do not know what became of Komand'r, however…'
'B-but, you're the princess! They still tried to do that to you, even though you're royalty?' M'gann felt stricken by this sudden, new Koriand'r. A sad, serious one. One with many deep, dark secrets of her own. We're so alike…
She rested a hand on top of Kori's as tears began to form in her striking green eyes. 'I'm so sorry, Korrie. Please, if you don't want to say anymore, you don't have to. I'll more than understand.'
Kori wiped her eyes with the brush of her thumb. 'No, it is alright. I enjoy speaking with you Megan. You are very the easy to talk to.'
'I'm just trying to be your friend', she replied simply.
Deciding to change the subject, desperate to bring back happy Kori, she asked with a smirk, 'So, you seem to have grabbed a lot of the male half of the Team's attention…' Conner, if you dare…
She raised an eyebrow. 'Really? I have not noticed… it is my unusual complexion, yes?'
'Uh, well, it could be that, but uh… I believe it's because you're very…'
Kori looked up.
'Beautiful. And it might also have something to do with your uniform.'
'My battle armour?' Kori looked sceptical. 'On Tamaran, what I wear is considered to be quite the basic and plain, especially for a princess. You should see what the women at the… I believe you call them nightclubs? You should see their attire.'
'I'd rather not', M'gann mumbled. 'But as I was saying, almost every person on the team with active testosterone is looking at you. Especially Nightwing', she said, lowering her voice.
For the first time, the Tamaranian blushed. 'What? No, no that is glipnorf! Wh-why would…' she trailed off, leaving a very satisfied M'gann to quirk an eyebrow.
'Mhmm', she said, taking a sip of her Ice Mocha.
'I just… I mean… of course I find him the intriguing, but surely you cannot believe that he might…' she looked up at M'gann. 'Do you really believe so, Megan?'
'Trust me, Korrie, I know so. That boy's fallen hard for you.'
Her eyes sparkled with a new light. 'I knew from the moment I met him, that Richard and I would have some special connection-'
M'gann choked on her drink. She knows his secret ID? How?! Only the originals, the Bat-family and maybe Cassie and Bart know… she's barely been on the Team a month, and she already knows Mr Dark-Glasses' real name!
'Are you alright, Megan?' Kori said worriedly.
'Fine', she coughed. 'Just slightly surprised that you know his real name.'
'Why wouldn't I?'
'It's just, Dick never really lets anyone see him beneath the mask, let alone know he really is.'
Kori blinked in surprise. 'Oh. Well, he has been very open with me. Is that because he feels an attraction toward me?'
M'gann furrowed her eyebrows, unsure of her usually rational leader's decision. 'I dunno…'
They both sat in silence for a moment, enjoying the glorious colours of New York as they sat at the quaint café. After a few minutes, M'gann glanced down at her phone to see the time.
She stretched, reached for her bag, and placed the bill on the table. 'We should probably get back to the Tower, Korrie. Training session with Dinah in half an hour, and trust me; we don't want to be late.'
Battering her eyelashes up at her friend, she smiled and stood. 'Of course.'
M'gann happily returned the smile and linked arms with her fellow alien. 'Best be off them.'
'Thanks for today, Megan.'
Looking to her friend, she said, 'Anytime, Korrie.'
And off they went, their auburn bouncing, smiles implanted permanently on their giddy faces.
THE WATCHTOWER
September 12, 14:15 EDT
'Ready?' Tim asked, standing in a ready-position.
'Born ready, Teen Wonder!' Cassie exclaimed, wrapping up whipping her blonde hair into the 'Messiest Ponytail of the Year'.
With that, the teenage boy ran at his Teammate, guns blazing as his muscles tensed. Just as he got to her, he pushed into a handspring that sent his straightened-out legs barrelling toward her abdomen for an almighty dropkick. She'd only been back in training for a little over a week, but Cassie was showing everyone else that it didn't mean they could go easy on her, so Tim wasn't taking any chances. Especially being her boyfriend.
Just as his feet were about to make contact, Cassie grabbed them and swung him around, sending him back the way he came. As Tim neared the ground again, only a small distance away from his sparring partner, he twisted and landed in a crouching position that Dick had nicknamed 'Spider-slut'. Naturally.
Tim pushed off again and Cassie immediately bent her knees and raised her fists, a challenging smirk crossing her face. The Boy Wonder flew at her with a flying kick, aiming for her jaw, which she promptly dodged before returning the favour; this time, sweeping his legs out from underneath him. Just before he hit the ground, he let his back curl back into a bridge before performing a walkover, ready to face his eager girlfriend once more.
'Honestly, it's like you never even took time off', he breathed out, trying to find his breath.
She smiled. 'My body took a break. Not my mind', she said, pointing to her temple.
This time, it was Tim on the defensive as Cassie threw a roundhouse kick at him. He swerved out of the way at the last second, before trying for an uppercut. With a barricaded arm, she braced against it before swinging a punch at his side. It caught him, and while Tim staggered for a brief moment, the temporarily-depowered Amazon scissor-kicked his jaw. With a millisecond to spare, he ducked.
Proceeding to a roundhouse punch aimed at her cheekbone, Tim prepared himself for her defence move. Cassie smirked as she grabbed his wrist, blocking the punch just inches from her face. Tim winced as she then twisted his arm and within a few moments, had both arms pinned behind his back. Just as he was about to hook his foot onto her ankle, he felt her warm breath against his neck, sending a shiver through his body.
Tim felt her lean in closer, and soon felt her chest against his back, strands of blond hair falling against his neck and shoulders. He tensed as she brought her lips up to his ear.
'Do you think Bruce'll mind if you head back to the B-cave sporting a few… hickeys?'
His eyes widened, and his tense body momentarily went limp. He realised his mistake too late, and only rolled his eyes at his stupidity as he lay on the beeping ground, his hysterical girlfriend standing triumphantly over.
'I… I can't believe I actually g-got you.' she managed to get out between laughs. 'Again!'
'Hi-la-ri-ous, Cass. Freakin' hilarious', he sighed as he held out an asking hand, trying to conceal his own smile.
'Well, it was pretty funny', she said with a wide grin, pulling her defeated boyfriend onto his feet with ease, her powers turned back on.
Tim, unable to hide that previously concealed smile, brought her into a tight hug, surprising the perky Amazon. 'I'm so glad you're okay', he whispered, clutching at her back.
After the initial shock of her boyfriend's unusual behaviour, she returned the gesture, hugging the taller boy back with just as much intensity. 'I reckon it's because of all those Hershey's you brought me.'
He chuckled. 'I'm serious, Cass.'
'So am I!' she giggled, tightening her hold on him. 'The cuddles were definitely the best medicine, though.'
When he didn't reply, Cassie pulled away from him, her hands resting on his shoulders. Her heart melted to see sombre tears in his eyes, seeping through the lock of his aqua eyes. Then he looked up at her, and it shattered.
'I was terrified, Cassie. You were looking really bad, and I wasn't sure if you were gonna…' he choked out.
'Oh Tim', she coddled, pulling him in close again. 'You're not going to get rid of me that easily. Trust me.'
She felt his body softly shake as he struggled to contain his unshed tears, and she stroked his back. He was a sensitive soul as it was, but incidents like this caused him to break down. Things like this reminded him of his past, a past that reflected the despair, revenge and bitter sadness of every member of the Bat-fam. While Cassie knew there wasn't much she could do to heal his pain, she also knew that she'd be there for his most troubled times, no matter what.
After a few moments of comforting, Tim pulled away, the only trace of his previous sadness being the slight look of bloodshot eyes. 'Okay, I'm all good, I'm good.' Cassie could tell he was trying to convince himself just as much as he was convincing her. Maybe even more.
'Good, 'cause I much prefer your killer smile to your tears, babe', she said in effort to lift the mood.
He smiled. Mission accomplished, Cassie, mission accomplished. 'There we are! Your reward for that smile, Mr Drake', she said, bowing before bolting upright to plant a kiss full on his lips.
The contact didn't last long, however, as Aqualad's clueless voice came over the loudspeaker. 'Team; mission briefing in the Clearing. Requesting Kid Flash, Blue Beetle, Supergirl, Robin and Wonder Girl.'
Looking back at her boyfriend, Cassie and Tim shared an understanding look.
'How's that saying go again?' the blond asked with a raised eyebrow. ''Saved by the bell'?'
Pulling out his domino mask, Tim simply shook his head, sliding into Robin-mode. 'Come on, Wonder Girl, we've got work to do.'
'Thank you for arriving swiftly, everyone', Aqualad said politely, addressing today's Alpha Squad. His eyebrows furrowed as his gaze rested on Supergirl, however.
'Kara, I would deeply appreciate it if you were to take that gum out of your mouth.'
The rest of the assembled team cast their eyes to the wide-eyed Kryptonian, Kid Flash and Blue Beetle snickering as she let the piece of purple gum roll out of her mouth onto her open palm. The two boys then applauded as she flung it over to a far-off garbage can.
The quiet smile returned to Kaldur's face as he nodded to the reluctant teen girl. 'Thank you, Supergirl. Now, we may proceed on with the meeting.'
Standing to the side, a holograph appeared before the teenagers, with an image that made all but Supergirl uncomfortable. Aqualad's eyes reflected a sad, and somewhat guilty sort of recognition as well.
The blonde started laughing nervously. 'Woah guys, who killed the mood?'
Taking in a deep breath, Aqualad turned to them again. 'Kara, this is where the Team was previously based. I'm sure the other members would've informed you of Mount Justice?'
Suddenly, she froze, and cast her gaze down, scuffling her red boots awkwardly. 'Oh, um… yeah, they did. I've just uh… never seen images of it…'
Robin cleared his throat, causing the rest of the squad to straighten up and focus again. 'What's our mission, Aqualad?'
'Right, thank you, Robin', their leader said, pulling himself out of his daze. 'The JLA sensors on the Watchtower managed to detect an unknown energy impulse from the centre of the Cave's debris.'
Robin couldn't help but nudge Kid Flash. 'You having déjà vu as well?'
Kid Flash just stared at the hologram in bewilderment, and undeniable wonder and curiosity.
'As is a very similar incident as Bart's arrival… Kid Flash?' Aqualad said, looking to the brunette speedster. 'You'll be leading this mission.'
Blue Beetle looked to his best friend in surprise, offering his fist. 'Dude, congrats! First time as leader, and it's Alpha!'
Kid Flash fist-bumped the Hispanic absent-mindedly, his eyes not leaving the screen and leader before them. He gave a solemn, respectful nod to Aqualad, causing his Teammates to glance cautiously at him, surprised by this new Bart.
'Jaime makes an excellent point, which is why if you require assistance, or feel unable or unready to fulfil whatever leadership roles come your way, Robin will your immediate support. A co-leader, if you will. He has acquired much experience being a squad leader, and realises the challenge of taking on such heavy responsibilities.' Turning to the Bat-protégé, he added, 'I assume you are alright with being handed this role?'
'More than happy to, Aqualad', Robin replied, a polite smile planted on his face.
With a satisfied look on his face, the leader looked upon his present members, said a few brief words of encouragement, and sent them off.
HAPPY HARBOUR
September 12, 16:43 EDT
As the Bioship began its stealthy decent, Supergirl let out a big breath, closing her eyes. After all, she was still new to the Team, and she always got a bit nervous when she wasn't on a mission with Clark or Conner. Sure, being on a squad with Jaime and Bart always calmed her down, but Bart was being strangely distant, and Jaime, in his blue suit, the black colours integrated into it, highlighting his shape and muscles…
By the name of El, Kara, get your head out of the clouds, your eyes away from Mr. Distracting, and focus on the mission!
Peeling her eyes away from the ripped teenage boy, she shook her head and looked out of the window instead. Only to regret doing so.
She'd heard that the mountain had been blown up, but she guess she hadn't expected it to look this downtrodden and defeated. What once must've been a proud landscape now looked like a dishevelled war-zone. Glancing over at the rest of her Team, she saw they all had loss written plain on their faces. Even poker-faced Robin, at the helm of the vessel, looked forlornly over their former base.
Supergirl was suddenly jerked back into the real world by the impact of the Bioship landing.
'Sorry!' Robin squeaked, 'Still learning to drive this thing.'
'All good, amigo', Blue Beetle said, unclipping himself from his seat.
As they made their way out of the ship, Supergirl flew up beside Wonder Girl, who was rubbing her arm subconsciously. Nudging her playfully with her elbow, she grinned at her fellow, feminine powerhouse. 'Y'all right?'
'Hm?' Wonder Girl replied, as though she'd just woken up. 'Oh, yeah, yeah I'm fine. It's just kinda weird being back here, you know?'
'Yeah', Supergirl muttered. She could tell that the young Amazon just wanted to be left to her own thoughts, so she let herself fall behind and ran up to Bart.
'So, chief, what'd you want me to do?' she asked happily.
Kid Flash looked to her, any signs of humour were far from his eyes. 'Could you take Wonder Girl and scan the perimeter? Remember to be stealthy', he said as he jumped a large chunk of rock.
He's so not himself… Worried, she rested a hand on his shoulder and looked into the shorter boy's eyes. 'Everything okay, KF? You just seem a little… different.'
His green eyes met her blue ones, appreciation clear. 'I'm fine, Supergirl. Just a little anxious about what lays ahead.'
Her eyes widened. 'Sh-should the rest of us be anxious?'
'No no, don't worry. I've just got a few things running through my head right now', he said with an air of finality. Supergirl could see that he didn't want to be pressed any further, so she flew back to her place beside Wonder Girl.
'Hey', she greeted, hovering just above the ground. 'KF wants to us check out the area. Scout for any activity.'
Blinking out her daze, Wonder Girl looked up at her and gave a curt nod, raising off the ground. The two young women flew up until they had a clear view of the total area of destruction beneath. Their blond hair billowed in the wind, clear blue eyes narrowed for even a flicker of movement. If so much as a leaf blew down from whatever remained of the nearby forest, they'd know.
Supergirl, being the more inexperienced, looked to Wonder Girl for clarity. The Amazon pointed to a rock pile beneath them, and following a respectful nod from Supergirl, the two made their way down toward it. Wonder Girl, having been called out way too many times for 'sucking at being Stealther Girl', had learnt to watch her movements, and landed as softly as a feather. Looking behind her, she realised she couldn't say the same about Supergirl as the young Kryptonian's foot clipped a nearby mound of rock. This sent the eager, unwary girl spiralling toward the ground, landing with an almighty crash.
Getting to feet, not a scratch clear in sight, she looked to her partner and mouthed, 'Sorry!'
Wonder Girl, feeling empathetic toward the 'new girl', offered a small, dismissive smile. However, with the sound of a rocks shuffling behind them, the smile quickly disappeared and the Amazon swerved around, fists held ready for combat. Supergirl super-sped over to her side. Looking to Wonder Girl for permission, she waited oh-so patiently (uh, not!) as she thought for a moment, before nodding.
Turning back to the direction of the noise, Supergirl narrowed her eyes and let x-ray vision take over. Seeing through the rock concealing their location to whoever was on the other side, she scouted around, before she caught sight of a figure bent over. Found ya, 'unidentified energy impulse', she thought, letting a small smile onto her face.
She desperately wanted them to turn around, to see who was most likely the source of Aqualad's curiousity, but they refused to move. But only for a few moments, as they soon straightened up, giving Supergirl full vision of their face. No... you!
Taking an angry step back, fury bristling, teeth and fists clenched, she could vaguely see Wonder Girl's incredulous look as she tensed.
Keeping her voice at a whisper, the Amazon looked to the other girl. Not like she was looking beack at her, though. Not like she was even listening. 'Supergirl, what'd you s- no!' she screamed as the suddenly furious Kryptonian bowled through the rock.
Not him… NOT HIM!, she thought as she rocketed toward the shocked figure. Not Brainiac!
Just as she was about to punch the stupid look off his stupid face, he raised a hand. And suddenly, Supergirl couldn't, frozen mid-air, two feet above the ground. The only thing she could move was her head, so she made sure to let him know just how angry she was. Oh, if I could move right now, you pathetic, emotionless robot, I'd freaking slap your-
'Please, Kara Zor-El, do not fret', he said monotonously, yet there was the slightest hint of sympathy in his tone. 'I do not wish to cause you any harm.'
'Oh, I'd just like to see you try', she spat. Literally spat. In his face.
His eyebrows raised momentarily before he swiped the saliva off his interesting complexion. Looking up again, Supergirl realised his attention was behind her. Moving her eyes as much as she could, she managed to see Wonder Girl coming at the green figure, fists ready. Once more, he merely froze her.
'Cassandra Sandsmark, as I was just explaining to your…' he paused, looking for the right word, 'companion, I do not wish to cause you, or any of your Teammates harm.'
Her eyebrows raised in curiosity; she wasn't too worried, as she somehow felt he was being sincere in his words. 'Who are you?'
Just as the purple-eyed stranger began to open his mouth, Supergirl growled beside the frozen teen, 'It's name is Brainiac. It's an Artificial Intelligence with the most evil mind you've ever encountered, and doesn't have any regard for any form of life. Before Krypton was destroyed, Brainiac was known around our galactic cluster as one of the most notorious anti-life machines to have ever been created. It has this desire to become smarter and acquire more knowledge, and it believes the best way of doing that is by stealing a city and minimising it… before it destroys the entire planet.'
Wonder Girl's eyes widened, as if that information had suddenly unlocked something within her mind. 'I remember now! A couple of years ago, this crazed, alien lunatic put a dome around Metropolis, trapping some of our members. The city started to shrink, but before it got too small, we managed to stop him. Said his name was the 'Brainiac of Izod', whatever that meant… But this guy… you're saying he's him?' she asked. 'Cause this guy's actually kinda cute… the other guy, though… definitely not cute.
'I know who you are mistaking me for, but I am not him. I am somewhat of a descendant of the original. Please, allow me to properly introduce myself', he said, stepping forward to the two teen girls, placing a hand on his uniformed chest. 'My name is Brainiac 5, I originate from the 31st century, and am a founding member of a group known formally as the Legion of Superheroes.'
Wonder Girl raised an eyebrow. 'Legion of who in the what now?'
Supergirl simply scoffed. 'Superhero? Yeah right, if I believe you're a superhero, I'd believe that pigs could fly!'
This stranger, Brainiac 5, rolled his purple eyes and looked to Wonder Girl. 'I can see you are curious. Perhaps you would like to use your legendary Lasso of Truth on me? Clarify on which truth to believe?'
Wonder Girl looked down for a moment in wonder. Her lasso was certainly the best bet in their current situation, but she was still sceptical about it. If used correctly and in the appropriate manner, it was unstoppable and could force the darkest truths out of the more secretive people. But she'd barely used it, and Diana hadn't focused her training so much on the magical properties of their shared weapon. Diana had always seemed to have had enough faith in her to believe she'd know what to do when the time came.
'My sensors are picking up an increased heartrate. You are unsure of yourself', Brainiac 5 concluded. He raised his hand in a clenched fist before quickly relaxing it, and as he did, Wonder Girl felt her gain full control of her body again. Looking up in surprise at the futuristic alien, she was even more surprised to see a smile on his face. 'I wish you to stress-free as possible while performing this action, hence why I have released you.
'I meant to do it earlier', he said with a slightly darker green flush across his cheek, amusing Wonder Girl. 'Please accept my sincere apologies in not doing so.'
'All good, Brainy', Wonder Girl chuckled, unclipping her lasso from her side before taking it in both hands. She was already fairly certain that Brainiac 5 was nothing like his predecessor, but too many times she and other members of the Team hadn't taken precautions, and it had blown up in their collective face. She was not going to make that mistake this time.
Looking down at the golden lasso, she took in a deep breath. Come on, Cass. It's really not that hard. Just slip it over his torso, say the incantation and ask the questions! …piece of cake…
As Brainiac 5 made his way toward her, she swung the lasso around her head before releasing it, letting it wrap itself tight around his upper body. Wonder girl let out a breath once she realised she'd been holding it. OMG, this is so cool! I've seen Diana do this sooo many times, and now I finally get to do it myself!
Then her mentor's voice rang clear in her head, Little less fangirl, little more Wonder Girl.
With that in mind, she crossed her eyebrows, puffed her chest slightly, and raised the clenched hand which held the almighty lasso in it, and with a defiant voice stated, 'The Lasso compels you to speak the truth.'
Immediately, the already golden rope glowed brilliantly in the grim, dark landscape that surrounded them. Behind her, Wonder Girl could faintly hear Supergirl say in an awe-filled voice, 'Cool…'
Looking back to the person before her, she demanded, 'Who are you?'
Unblinkingly, Brainiac 5 replied with, 'My name is Querl Dox, more commonly known as Brainiac 5, the fifth instalment of the original Brainiac. I am improved and have reconfigured myself, so now my goal in life is to explore the world of humans to try to be more like them.'
'When and where are you from?'
'I have travelled to the early 21st century from later in this one, from the year 2056, but I originate from the 31st century, from a place known in this era as the United States of America.'
Wonder Girl pressed further. 'What are your intentions and motives?'
A serious look flashed across the young alien's face. 'To warn the heroes of this era that a great darkness is approaching, one which will leave the Earth in utter devastation, and to help them in preventing this darkness from assuming total control over the Earth.'
What? Wonder Girl's eyes widened in fear, and she turned to see Supergirl behind her, still frozen, looking back at her with the same expression. Now to ask if he knows who or what this darkness is-
'Wonder Girl?!' a voice called out from behind them. Loosening her grip on the lasso, she turned to see Robin relieved face as he pelted toward her, before enveloping her in a hug.
'Oh my God, I was so worried… we didn't radio just in case you were in a situation where that would've been a bad idea, so we all walked around, hoping to find you. Thank heaven we did…' he trailed off as his attention moved from his girlfriend to the strange, green person in front of him. Stepping aside, he pulled out two birdarangs and narrowed his eyes at Brainiac 5.
'Wonder Girl, have your lasso at ready.'
Chuckling, she grabbed his arm and gently got him to lower the birdarangs. 'Chill, babe. This is Brainiac 5, he's on our side; I interrogated him with the Lasso.'
Whilst Robin's mouth hung open, Supergirl scoffed from behind. 'You call that an interrogation? You should see the one's they held in Argo City…'
'Yo-you used the Lasso? As in the Truth side of it?' After Wonder Girl nodded, beaming at her boyfriend, she high-fived his raised hand. 'Oh, Cass, good for you! I'm so proud.'
'I do not mean to interrupt', said a voice from behind, and the three of them turned to see Brainy looking up at them all, 'but may I extract myself from your tool?'
'Oops! Sorry, of course', Wonder Girl said, pulling the lasso back to her side.
After performing the same hand gesture on Supergirl that he did to release Wonder Girl, Brainiac 5 turned to the newest arrival, he extended his hand. 'Greetings. I am Brainiac 5, and you must be Red Robin.'
'Uh, it's actually just Robin', covered Robin quickly, but not without a thought running through his head. That's actually a pretty cool name. 'And it's good to meet you.'
Looking behind his new acquaintance, Brainiac 5 spoke up. 'And this is Blue Beetle.'
The Hispanic's amber eyes widened in shock. 'Huh? What'd I miss?'
'Kid Flash should be here soon too, I'm guessing', Supergirl huffed, resting her hands on her hips.
For once, Brainiac 5 looked to the Kryptonian. 'Kid Flash? As in Wallace West?'
'Wally?' Blue Beetle gazed up, sadness reflected in his eyes. 'No, sorry hermano, he sacrificed himself for the world last year…'
For some odd reason, the time-travelling alien looked confused, yet nodded his head slowly. 'O-of course. Forgive me for bringing up the sensitive topic. I seemed to have forgotten that part of my history book.'
'History book?' Blue Beetle and Robin looked at the green person in wonder.
Wonder Girl simply smiled and turned to her friends. 'Brainy's from the 31st century.'
'Brainy?!'
This time, everyone whirled around to see Kid Flash standing in front of them, his mouth hanging open like every time he went to the fridge. It took half a millisecond for him to then sprint to his side and give the fellow time-traveller the most almighty hug.
'Q! Dude! I knew that was you Aqualad detected! I can't believe you're here! Why are you here? Is Nathaniel okay? Did it all work? I have so much to show you. It's great being in 2017!' the young speedster spilled out.
While the rest of the Team stood flabbergasted, Brainiac 5 patted his head somewhat affectionately. 'It is good to see you as well, Bart Allen, but the pleasantries must be saved for later. I must answer all your questions in further detail, but to sum it all up, no, your mission did not succeed. Earth is still a living dystopia, and is in chaos.'
KF's face immediately fell. 'But you changed the life of Nathaniel. He was never an inmate at Belle Reve Prison, and the Reach has been eliminated as a threat. But if you come now, I will be able to inform you and the rest of your Team.'
'I'm so confused right now', Robin muttered, shaking his head, but he then looked to Bart. 'With your word, KF, we can do what Brainiac 5 suggested and head back to the Watchtower.'
Kid Flash nodded swiftly, and pointed to the direction of where they'd left the Bioship. Just as Wonder Girl was about to walk off, however, she noticed Supergirl was still behind, staring up at the sky, searching through every cloud with her brilliant blue eyes.
'What're you doing?' Wonder Girl chuckled, looking at her friend.
'Trying to find some flying pigs', she replied nonchalantly, not taking her gaze from the sky above.
The Amazon couldn't help but laugh as she pulled the other blonde away from her spot and towards the awaiting vessel. 'C'mon, you idiot, we gotta beat those boys back to the ship! I so wanna be the first to tell the others about this, don't you?'
But as the Kryptonian let her eager friend drag her off, she couldn't help but think to herself, I swear on my mother's name, Brainiac 5, or whoever the hell you really are; you dare touch this planet or anyone of it's inhabitants, I will kill you…
