"Hey Shadow Beast," Kid Flash waves as Shadow Beast comes in from training. The cape that SB wears is rip and her mask is scrape many time.
Megan questions, worry for her sister-like teammate. "What happen?" Everyone is in the living room, talking. The Kazekage has let the group rent a house for the time they spend at the Hidden Sand Village.
"It's nothing," Angel replies, going to her room, in the sand house. "It is the normal training regime."
The door closes and silence falls across the room.
"Something must have happen," Zatanna states, suspicious and concern for the younger girl.
Kaldur agrees, "Indeed; something did happen that Shadow Beast is not telling us."
Suddenly, Shadow Beast comes out again and is ready to leave when Kaldur holds her back.
Robin then questions, "Where are you going?"
"Training," she answers.
Artemis exclaims, annoy. "But you just came back from your last training. This is the 7th time today that you have been going back and forth."
"I have some catching up to do with my teachers," Shadow Beast responds quickly, leaving no room for the team to argue; just like Batman.
-Two hours later-
Kaldur stands up from his seat, saying, "That's it. I'm going out to look for Shadow Beast."
"Where are you going to look for her?" Kid Flash remarks. "We can't do anything here. We don't even know what this place is."
"But there is one who does," Robin smirks.
Kaldur nods, "Mrs. Rose."
-Flashback-
"Superman," the woman muttered, enough for everyone to hear.
Super Boy was shock. "You know who Superman is?"
"Why yes," the woman replied. "He save me from a fire once. I owed him my life. When I saw you, you remind me right away of Superman. You look so much like him, but who are you?"
"I-I am is Superboy," Conner stuttered. "Superman is my...uncle."
"I see," she sighed. "Well nice to meet you Super Boy, my name is Rose; Rose Goldnile."
"Rose Goldnile," Robin spoke up, "The famous explorer who disappear thirty-two years ago? The Rose Goldnile?"
"Yes I am Rose Goldnile," Rose laughed, "The story of how I ended up here, I will save for another time. But what are you kids doing here?"
"Well, we are kind of on a mission," KF stated quickly, which brought him being hit in the ribs by Artemis.
The auburn hair woman smiled, "I see, you are the Young Justice, aren't you."
"Yes ma'am," Megan smiled. "we are."
-End of Flashback-
The team arrive at Rose's door and Robin knocks lightly on the old wooden door. The door opens to reveal a little three years old girl. She has auburn hair like Rose and purple-reddish eyes. Her peachy smooth skin shown in the moonlight and her puffy cheek showing off the cuteness of her face. The little child wears a red nightgown that reaches her ankle.
"You are…." Zatanna gently smiles, immediately getting attaches to the child.
The girl bows, "Hewo, my name is Hikari; nice to meet you!"
She looks up and gives them an adorable smile. Zatanna, M'gann, and Artemis push through the boys and stare at the cute little girl in front of them.
"Aww! You are so adorable!" Megan squeals.
"Dank you," Hikari blushes.
The girls squeal even louder while the boys cover their ears. Suddenly, they all hear a baby laughter and see a two years old baby boy crawling out of the door. Before the boy can go any further, Artemis picks him up and off the ground and smiles, "Hey, where do you think you are going little guy?"
The baby laughs out, "Hewo! Hewo! Hewo!"(Hero! Hero! Hero!)
Suddenly, a woman with blonde spiky bangs, black hair, and violet eyes comes towards them.
The woman takes the baby out of Artemis's hand and apologizes, "I am sorry about my son. Hikari, go call your grandmother."
Hikari nods and runs inside, screaming, "Gwandmotho, hewo are hwe to see you!"
The group chuckles quietly. The boy is sucking on his thumb when he laughs, "Fwiends! Chadow Bea Fwiends!"
The teens are quite speechless when they hear the little baby boy speaks.
KF asks, "Did that kid just say what I think he say?"
"My son has a habit of calling out things," the woman giggles, "Please come in."
Then Rose comes out and smiles, "Well hello there. How can I help you kids?"
"Good evening, Mrs. Rose," Aqualad greets with a bow, "We are wondering if you could take us to where the training ground is?"
"Why is that?" she questions.
Robin then answers, "Shadow Beast has been going in and out for the whole day. She just left for another training two hours ago and we are worry. Therefore, we want to go see Shadow Beast."
"I see," the elder woman chuckles, "Well you don't need to worry about Shadow Beast. She is fine."
"How?" Artemis questions, "Not to be rude ma'am; but how can you be so sure that Shadow Beast is not in any kind of danger?"
The woman smiles at the young adults. She then gestures them to follow her. The teens, who are very confused, just follow her up the stair of her house. When they nearly reach the top, the group hears a sound. It is a flute sound. Rose then tells them to stay quiet as they walk up to the roof. When they got there, the Young Justice sees Shadow Beast sitting down on the roof with the Kazekage next to her along with Temari, Kankuro, and Shikamaru. The sound from Shadow Beast's flute is gentle and soft. It relaxes them.
Shadow Beast could play such a music like this, Kaldur thinks as he slowly closes his eyes. I didn't know she can play such a beautiful sound.
Megan then thinks, smiling, Shadow Beast is so talented! Maybe she could teach me how to play.
Artemis thinks, This song. I know this song. This song was the song that I heard on my mission with Green Arrow! Could the one that helped us back then be Shadow Beast?!
Wow, I'm in love, KF thinks dreamily.
Robin thinks, I didn't know she can play a bamboo flute. It didn't say so in her files. I have to recheck it.
Conner thought, This music is so peaceful and relaxing. I can listen to her for forever-wait, what the heck am I saying?
Zatanna thinks, I love these kind of music. This song actually gives off a kind of magical aura to it. I wonder what it is?
Right after the song ends, the whole team collapse.
