A.N: The story is catching up to me. I must type faster! You guys will like this one, it takes place during Agendas. Robins shows up the bat way.

Alphagirlsupreme: Arrow fans unite! Felicity is an awesome character. Hal and Felicity won't happen, but they could be friends. The only reason I don't ship Ollie and Felicity is because in the comics he's with Black Canary/ Dinah Lance. But D. Luaral Lance in the show is running everywhere and she's just not Ollie's type in the show. Olicity is such a good ship that you can't ship though, you know what I mean?

Luminesyra: Ok, Lumi, you can do that but don't go crazy. I would love to see that scribble sometime. HEADCANON ACCEPTED! Don't fall of the trapeze. Oh shoot, I made a sad dick grayson joke.

Shelia13: Don't worry, Shelia, two more weeks you can make it! Haha, I'm not trying to make Halicity happen if that is what you're thinking.

Beawolf's Pen: I'm glad you got good feels, and yes, I wonder the names of the parents too, LOL.

I don't own GLTAS or YJ

Reasons

The effect of the children disappearing wearied off after a while. The Justice League had solved the problem with the help of the team. Just another day of heroism, with a few additions like bringing back the Lord of Fate and making him part of the League again. What got me mad is the reason why.

"That's so stupid!" I said ranting about Zatarra's fate and having to leave his daughter behind. "When I see Fate I'm going to ear loogy him until I-"

"I don't think ear loogying will get him to release Zatarra." Hal said once.

"Maybe a couple of spiders in his bed would work."

Hal just rolled his eyes.

A few days before Thanksgiving, I was in my room pacing back and forth. Hal had gone off to the watch tower all day. He was in a meeting, and one I sometimes dreaded a lot. It was a meeting that they held every year to choose who could come into the League. That part didn't worry me, it was the part where they can choose who wasn't allowed to be on the team. Usually they hardly ever did that, but Hal missed a lot last year because we were busy fighting Manhunters, and this year John joined the team out of personal invitation from Batman. It didn't help knowing that and knowing how often Hal dismissed league missions. His lack of being a part of League might not make him one anymore.

I laid on my bed, looking up at the ceiling and arms out hanging to the side. I just felt so worried, and I needed something to give me a little hope. I sat up and got off my bed. I went over to my closet and pulled out a step stool so I could reach up to the top shelf. I pulled out a small box where I kept special things. When i got down off the stool, I opened the red painted wooden box and pulled out a piece of paper that was in the jumbled mess. I put down the box on a nearby counter and held up the paper to read out load, "Happy fifteenth celebration of the day of your birth, Green Lantern Mary."

I sat down on my bed and moved my fingers over the symbol of the white arrow going up. I found this letter in the living room nine months ago and I immediately thought of something impossible. Aya wrote this letter for my birthday. But she's gone, at least physically, it's just not possible. Ok, yeah, she's the only person who would address me that way, but it just couldn't be her. To not get false hopes up, I didn't tell Hal about the letter, so I hid it. Not even Killowag knew. One day I would tell them, maybe when there was more proof of her being out there. "Gosh, I brought this letter out to feel hopeful but I brought out something to feel less hopeful about. What was I thinking?"

"Dances in public and talks alone…. You need a life."

I got so spooked that my ring reacted for me to fly up…..and crash against the ceiling. "Ow!"

"Ooooo, that's got to hurt."

I rubbed my head and looked at my window to see Robin in his civilian clothing, sitting against the frame. I couldn't see he eyes, no one can, behind his dark shades. Yet, I could tell by the way his eyebrow was raised that he was worried. Why that little kid is going to-WAIT WHAT THE HELL IS HE DOING HERE? "Robin? What are doing here Coast City?"

As I landed back down on the floor and sat on my bed, Robin lay back on the frame with his arms behind his head and said, "Well, you know the whole League is at the meeting and right now there isn't much to do at the Batcave so I decided to come visit you. I haven't seen you since Cadmus. And I haven't talked to you since the day the adults disappeared."

"Yeah, it was a crazy time to chat it up."

"Well, now we can."

"How do you know where I live?"

"Um…."

"Rhetorical question, don't answer."

"Who were you talking about?"

"What?"

"What's that letter about?"

"Stop asking questions."

"I'm the Bat's protégé, and I have to know."

"Don't be nosy." I got up and was going over to the counter where I left the box when I felt the paper being swiped out of my hand. "ROBIN!"

He jumped up on my bed and held out the paper. "Aw. It's a birthday card, not much in it though. And what's with the white arrow?"

I jumped up on my bed and tried to grab it out of him, "Robin please it's personal!"

"And a bit too formal-"

I got so angry and desperate I yelled, "Robin! STOP!"

He looked at me, surprised at my reaction, and then handed it back to me. "Sorry, I've never seen you attached to something so simple. Is it from someone special?"

"I don't know." I sat back down on the rim of the bed and held the piece of paper close to me. Robin jumped down to sit beside me and saw the way I sat almost huddling myself.

"Is it some secret letter from some random GL alien?"

"No….I found it in the living room in March. On my birthday. Three months after….After a friend of mine….."

"I'm sorry." He put a hand on my shoulder.

I just gave him a half heated smile. "I'm ok….I mean, I've faced loss many times. I'm used to it."

"Yeah, I get you."

I looked at Robin surprised. I mean, the kid did face the craziest Villains in the world, so he must be used to some scary shit. But to experience loss...

I didn't press on, so I said, "It doesn't say, but I think its Aya. My friend I lost. She's the only one I know who writes like this."

"Are you sure?"

I sighed. "No. That's the problem."

"I guess it really doesn't hurt to hope."

"Haha, you sound a lot like a friend of mine."

"You seem to compare us to a lot of you space friends."

"That's because no matter what I always seem to bump into someone who can relate to someone else."

"So, speaking about space friends, I heard that's the reason why you're not joining the team."

"It's not all that. That's one part but there is a whole lot more…."

"You can tell me." Robin said, putting down his hand from my shoulder.

"I'm not in the mood for this."

"I'm not going to judge."

I sighed and looked at him, "I just- I- I'm not used to….."

"Used to what?" Robin insisted.

"I'm not used to….others not like me." He gave me a confused look so I continued. "I mean I'm not used to others who don't have power like me. It sort of relaxes me to know what others can do and how their capable for being in a fight. If I don't, I'll just probably get all maternal and try and save everyone."

"But you did well when we fought against Blockbuster."

"But I almost forgot you had explosives and I didn't think Superboy would come up from behind and tackle me to the ground for safety. I tried to help Kaldur when he was getting half beaten, and I worried he wouldn't get hurt. So much went through my head that sometimes I got distracted and Blockbuster got the best of me."

"The only way to conquer all that is to try it yourself." Robin then patted me in the back, "Come on! It'll be fun. Then the whole gang will be together, plus four."

"Four, I thought you had Superboy and those two girls."

"Well, four if you include Zatanna."

"Oh, right. I heard about that."

"I should probably head to the cave actually. Maybe she might need some comfort, especially since Thanksgiving is coming up."

"I know how she would feel…..wait a minute you said comfort."

"Yeah, and what about it? I'm not heartless."

"No, but you don't sound like the guy who would just comfort any random girl."

"Well….you know…I'm full of –um surprises."

"You stuttered. Oh my god you stuttered." I stood up quickly and said, "You like Zatanna!"

"Do not!" He said standing and crossing his arms.

"Do too! Aww, how cute! Bird Boy has a crush…."

"Stop it!"

"Ok, Ok! No need to get defensive…over something personal."

"Now I know how you feel."

"You better."

Robin started to walk out of my room towards the window. As he began to climb out, he said, "Why don't you just come on over and hang out at least. Wally always has some good snack hidden in the pantries. Just bring the dip and we can chat it up. You could meet our other team mates."

"I'll think about it. And about the other offer."

"Good."

)))))))))))) At the Watchtower (((((((((((((

"But we could use more raw power, and Earth does have a third Green Lantern, Guy Gardner."

Even before Flash could project Guy on to the screen, over the middle of the U shape table, Hal and John already knew the answer. "No." They said at the same time.

Flash tried to interject, "But we could really-"

"No." And that was the end of that one. No way would Guy Gardner be let into the League, or at least for Hal and John's sake.

Hal looked around the table, trying to see if anyone else was a bit as bored as he was. The interjection he just made was just about the first time he had spoken since the meeting started, but he had been more quiet then opinionated. He was more concerned about when they would start talking about him and his part in the League. Being AWAL almost all of last year didn't really give him much credit to stay. Fortunately, he had not come up.

Sometime during his mental ramble, the League had been considering Blue Devil, and then Green Arrow brought up Speedy, who was now called Red Arrow. "Roy has more experience and he's eighteen, a legal adult."

Aquaman cut in saying, "Red Arrow has been uncooperative and disrespectful." Hal smirked to himself. He was probably only mad at Roy because he stood up to the King of Atlantis and Aqualad did the same thing to him. "If we reward that behavior, what message doe that send to the rest of the team?"

"He has been helpful in some cases." Green Arrow added, "And all he ever dreamed of was to be standing here with us. His whole life he has dedicated himself to be one of us. We are already sending the wrong message by not inducting him into the League."

"So you are saying we should accept by experience." Hawkwoman said. "Does that mean the fourth Green Lantern is acceptable as well?"

Roy's holographic picture was replaced by one of Mary. Hal's eyes widened and John could feel his fellow Green Lantern tense up. All eyes in the room went to Hal. Atom, who sat two seats down, leaned over the table to look at him. "Well?

Hal had to think quickly. He looked up at the hologram picture of his adopted daughter. She stood leaning to one side with a hand on her hip. She had a smile that sort of said 'I can take on anything'. But Hal knew that wasn't true. He really wanted to say no, because he just didn't want Mary with a burden as big as this. Then he remembered the conversation he had with her in July. "In my opinion, I would say no."

"Well that's not surprising." John said.

"Let me finish. I say no, and I know a year ago Mary would have said yes….and thrown me across the room if I didn't agree. But now, she has been acting a little strange." A bunch of confused looks followed that comment. "She may have agreed with the team about being their own group, but need I remind you she denied joining them. She said to me it was because she was already part of a team, but I think it's more like she was already involved in some stuff she wasn't ready for. As you have heard, not only did things happen to us in the frontier, but there were also personal family matters." Everyone nodded, remembering how Mary had been taken hostage by her own blood father. "It maybe she needs time to recuperate. And when she does, she should start out small; by joining the team of our young super heroes. She can learn the basics there. Then after a while, and just maybe, she can become part of the League."

"In that case," Aquaman said, making Mary's picture disappear and replacing it with Aqualad and Kid Flash. "Experience not only in the field, but as a team should be kept in mind as we look over-"

"No." Superman interjected. "Red Arrow may be eighteen, but the rest of the team is too young. We have already agreed that Young Lantern, though experienced, may not be suitable. She's young, and so is the team. We are not inducting children into the League."

Flash leaned closer to Hal as some other League members began to put in their comments. "I've been wondering when he was going to say something." He whispered, "He had been staring at the wall thinking since Oliver brought up Roy."

Hal leaned closer and said, "The guy's probably been coming up with a good excuse to not induct Superboy once the kid gets brought up."

"That would be something," the speedster said with a smirk. Then the Flash's eyes widened and Hal looked to see who he was looking at. Hal saw Superman looking at them booth with a deep glare. Flash cursed under his breath, "I forgot the man had super hearing." Hal face palmed.

A.N: Character interactions are just so good. I hear Hal and Flash in the comics are great friends so I had them be dorks in the end. Robin can be such a kid sometimes, ad he know about Aya now. He can be trusted at least. Oh, and Mary is brought up in the conversation. Yo…so next we get the last episode of season 1. Auld Aquantaince. Dun du dun. I'm KikaKatTIOI, peace out!
