-Kid Flash
Shit was about to hit the fan. Wally watched as Relaiya walked up next to him, rubbing at her eyes sleepily. Everything his best friend had fretted over was about to come to fruition. All thanks to a vault that was now opened to the world, aka, Me'gann. Strange, he thought to himself. All this time he had worried himself sick over Me'gann not confiding in him. Now he wished she hadn't. Now more than ever he hoped she would return to keeping things to herself and crying silently in her room. That would be a miracle at the moment, and miracles were not in the plans for the day.
Snow shook her head at the smaller girl. Wally caught what she was doing. Snow was trying to stifle the fire before it began. Maybe a miracle would be had today. Wally turned to Relaiya then and offered a warm smile.
Maybe you should go back and lie down some more. Ya still look really tired Lai." Wally said and Relaiya raised a brow at him, before yawning, as if to emphasize his point. Me'gann's sniffles grew louder, which immediately caught the Embrassian's attention.
"What's wrong Me'gann?" Relaiya asked sincerely as she went to the Martian's side.
"Everything apparently." Snow muttered. Me'gann reached out a hand and grabbed Snow. The taller girl jumped, startled by the contact, and then immediately tried to pry herself from the Martian's grip.
"C-Conner…" Me'gann began, but then broke into a sob. Relaiya rubbed soothing circles in the girl's back. "H-he doesn't…"
"What? He doesn't what?" Relaiya asked and Snow and Wally looked at each other, mirroring the horror they saw on one another's visage.
"He doesn't love me." Me'gann said brokenly.
"Sure he does. I've felt his emotions for you. He loves you-" Relaiya began and was interrupted by Me'gann waving her hand dismissively and staring teary eyed at her.
"No Relaiya. He wants you." Me'gann said. Relaiya's eyes widened in shock, as a slow blush crept across her features. She shook her head violently and then looked Me'gann into her eyes.
"No…no. He loves you Me'gann. I know he does. I can feel his-"
"Conner wants you. Not me you! It's the same with Robin!" Me'gann started, anger beginning to be the predominant emotion for the girl. "Robin doesn't want you!"
"What?" Relaiya asked, the offense heavy in her voice.
"Now…now Meggs. Don't you think you might be overreacting just a bi-" Wally interjected.
"He wants her!" Me'gann spat, cutting him off and pointing an accusing finger at Snow. Wally watched as the small girl's face went form shock to anger, as if a switch had been flipped. Yup Robin was going to be in serious trouble.
"What are you talking about? Robin loves me not her. Me." Relaiya was becoming defensive. At least she had faith in her boyfriend. Hopefully that alone will diffuse this situation. If Relaiya stayed defensive and ignored everything the Martian said, maybe the drama bomb wouldn't explode. Maybe it would deflate Me'gann.
"No he doesn't. He wants her. I can read minds remember. Well I read his and Conner's. Conner wants you and Robin wants her!" Me'gann shrieked as fresh tears began to spill over. Relaiya downcast her eyes for a moment. Her small hands began to ball into fist. She was thinking about what Me'gann said. Wally's eyes widened in horror when the small girl turned a deadly glare on Snow. Her eyes were no longer their emerald color. Oh no. That green was now tinted with orange. This was not good.
"Robin loves you?" Relaiya questioned Snow.
"No!" Snow said hurriedly. She managed to push Me'gann away from her then. "I mean…I don't even…we can't. Ever." Snow started. Her tail was flicking wildly. Relaiya's tightened her fist, straining the skin over her knuckles.
"Robin loves you? He can't…he can't love you. He loves me!" She spat angrily.
"Keep him then. I don't want him. I fight over jewelry…not men."
"You do love him. You love him just as much as he loves you." Me'gann said tiredly, as she sunk to the floor.
"Stop reading my mind!" Snow hissed at the girl, Me'gann flinched. She then rounded on Relaiya, who was obviously ready for a fight. "Yes…ok. Yes I find him handsome. So what? I mean…that body and the way he talks…I'd have to be deaf and blind not to notice. Yes, I've been around him long enough to develop feelings for him, but I keep them in check. He tried…once…so very long ago. He tried…I said no. End of story. When did this become my issue? You two are the ones with the problem with each other." Snow said looking between the other two girls.
"She's right." Me'gann said softly, barely above a whisper.
"About what?" Relaiya raged. "I don't have a problem with you!"
"We have to talk to Conner." Me'gann said as she picked herself up from the floor.
"About what?" Relaiya asked as she rounded on the Martian. "He's my master. He doesn't love me. He LOVES you! You Me'gann! He may think about, and may even care for me, but his heart belongs to YOU. I discovered that when I first finished training with MY Robin." Relaiya said casting a glare at Snow. The other girl just sighed and pinched the bridge of her nose in frustration.
"He thinks about you sexually." Me'gann said.
"Oh." That statement deflated the small fiery girl. Her eyes returned to their familiar emerald depths. Wally sighed. Maybe this needed to be hashed out. "I-I didn't…I was unaware. I'm sorry." Relaiya said, down casting her eyes once more. "I'm sure he didn't mean to hurt you. He's just not aware of the trouble he's caused. I'm sure if you told him, he'd rectify the situation." Wally had to hold back a smile. It was kind of cute the way she defended the boy of steel. She would protect him even if he was in the wrong. Wally let his smile shine through when he thought of Roy. Roy would be the Relaiya of his life like that. The person that would protect him, no matter what.
"Too much trouble. All I WANT is Aqualad. That's it. Just the sexy, chocolate Atlantean, with the great muscles and killer smile!" Snow sighed exasperated.
"Snow?" Me'gann inquired.
"What?" Snow asked.
"Is your mind that dirty?" Me'gann asked with a frown. Wally shook his head.
"No offense Meggs, but you reading people's minds is how we got into this mess in the first place. What happened to the rule we made about you only doing that to the baddies?" Wally asked as he lazily shoved a cupcake in his mouth. Me'gann blushed deeply. "Besides…you guys don't need to discuss anything. You want payback, kick him in the shin."
"Or in the crotch." Snow said with a wicked smile.
"No! You can't do that to my master." Relaiya said as worry alit her green orbs.
"Fine! The shins it is." Snow said disappointedly.
"I have just the right idea for it…" Wally began with a smile, "and it involves kryptonite."

-Relaiya
Snow had been the one to do it. She had kicked Superboy as hard as she could with a boot that had a bit of kryptonite embedded in the sole of the toe.
"You know what you did!" The girl had yelled at him smiling as she ran away. Conner had crumpled to the floor in pain. The display had been a hilarious seen that Relaiya could not enjoy. For she had felt every ounce of the boy's pain. She sighed at the memory and rolled over onto her bed, so that she was lying on her stomach. Robin wanted Snow. The idea seemed funny. He had fought so hard for her, that she never imagined that he could want someone else. It made sense though. He had known Snow for a long time. Plus she was human. Despite that she had many cat like features, she was still human, and so was Robin. It made sense for him to love someone of his same species. Snow had rejected him though, but that didn't mean that his candle didn't still burn for Snow. So what did that make her? A replacement? Someone to take the edge off of the burn of rejection. A stand in for the person he truly cared for. She felt her heart constrict painfully at the thought, and it became hard for her to breathe. Why? If that were true, and truly did love Snow, then why play with her emotions? Why work so hard to make her like him instead of Conner if he didn't feel the same way? Ravien was right. She didn't belong here. She belonged back home, on Embriss, where things made sense. It hurt her to think that Robin had toyed with her. That he could be that cruel. She sighed as she stood. She shook her head and allowed determination to enter her heart.
"I will own up to who and what I am." She said. She was a plaything. Here on Earth, she served no other purpose, but to be a stand in for Snow. On Embriss she was important. A member of the prestigious Dragon Clan. A Dragon who was engaged to Ravien, her Phoenix partner. The idea of marrying him didn't sit well with her, but maybe it was for the best. Maybe this was her destiny. She raided her closet until her fingers touched the material she hadn't felt since she had been granted her team uniform. She would make everything right.

-Superboy
"Damnit." Conner grunted in pain as he iced down his leg where Snow had kicked him. He sighed as the cooling sensation helped to numb the pain. Just as he was getting comfortable, an indescribable pain ripped at his heart. Just as quickly as it had come, it left, leaving a familiar ache in it's wake. An ache, he had come to understand, didn't belong to him.
"Relaiya." He said to himself. He dashed down the hallway to her room and found it empty. He then closed his eyes and let his senses, his instincts, guide him to her. He found her on the beach staring up at the cave. He was surprised to see her adorned in her Embriss armor.
"Relaiya." He called out to her softly as he approached her.
"Master." She replied, keeping her gaze on the cave.
"Why are you out here by yourself?" Conner asked as he stood in front of her.
"I'm going home."

-Relaiya
She felt the heartache that he felt at her words. She didn't show it though. She couldn't. She just continued to stare up at the cave.
"Why?" She heard him ask brokenly. Funny, that after all this time of thinking that Robin cared for her the most, it was and had always been her master. Thus the avenue to his heart was closed. It belonged to Me'gann.
"I don't belong here." She said.
"Aren't you at least going to say goodbye…to the team…to me?" He asked and Relaiya looked at him then. She smiled up at him and hugged him tightly.
"Goodbye Master…my master Conner."

-Miss Martian
The display she had witnessed, almost had her in tears again. Relaiya was going to leave. She dashed inside the cave to tell the team. Deep down, a voice nagged at her. That this, was her fault.

-Robin
He and Wally were laughing at Snow, telling the tale of the kicking of Superboy. She sat comfortably in Kaldur's lap as she recounted the situation to all who had not been present to witness it. Me'gann burst into the sitting room with tears in her eyes. Everyone turned their attention to her.
"Guys…hurry and follow me!" She said.
"What's wrong Me'gann?" Kaldur asked.
"It's Relaiya…she's leaving for Embriss!" She said and Robin jumped up from his place on the floor. He along with everyone else followed her in a hurry. They all made it to the beach just as Relaiya was pulling away from and embrace that she and Conner shared. She then floated up and placed a gentle kiss on his nose, before floating back down to the Earth. Robin stared in shock at her. Me'gann was right, she was leaving. Why else would she have on her Embriss attire? The problem nagged at him as to why she was leaving. Why hadn't she thought to say goodbye to him? He calmly walked to stand beside Conner. Relaiya was still smiling up at the boy.
"So…you're leaving Lai." Robin said. He knew better than to phrase it as a question. Relaiya nodded her head, but kept her gaze on Conner. "Weren't you at least going to say goodbye? Or even that you were leaving?" He asked as his voice began to crack slightly. He was astounded at his lack of control, but he would have to deal with that later. Relaiya finally lifted her eyes to his. Her beautiful green eyes, that he loved so much. The eyes he loved to get lost in. Her eyes, shined with tears that she was holding back. Why did she want to cry? He wanted to hold her. To enfold her in his arms and tell her everything would be alright.
"I thought it would be better not to say goodbye to anyone. That it would be to painful. My master found me, before I could leave, however, and so…here we are." She chuckled.
"Why are you leaving?" Robin asked.
"Oh you know…I'm the last remaining member of the Dragon Clan. I'm also betrothed to my phoenix partner. I don't belong here." Relaiya said, smiling sadly.
"Yes you do Lai." Robin said as he took a step toward her, taking one of her hands in his. "You belong here on Earth, on this team…with me." Robin said smiling genuinely at her. She cried then. Robin watched as the shiny tears spilled forth from her eyes.
"No…I belong on Embriss."
"Lai-"
"No Robin! I belong on Embriss and YOU belong on Earth, on this team, with the person you truly care about."
Robin stared at the small girl in shock. What had she just said?
"You're the person I care most about Lai. You know that." Relaiya slipped her hand from his grasp and floated in the air shaking her head.
"No. I thought I was. Then I realized that I could never be. How could you love an alien that could set you on fire with just a look? It's impossible." Relaiya said laughing humorlessly.
"I don't care about that! I lov-"
"Don't say it!"
"I love you Relaiya!"
"No!" Relaiya snapped, "No you DON'T love me. You might like me and possibly care for me, but you don't love me. I love you, and you love Snow." She said angrily. She then sighed and took a deep calming breath. "I'm sorry. I'm not mad at you. I don't blame you fro falling for one of your own kind…it's only natural. Thank you for everything. Thank you all." She said turning her eyes to scan the team and wiping away her tears. She waved at the team, and then took off, flying at top speed.. Robin was left stunned by her words. He loved Snow. That's what she had said to him. He didn't love Snow. Had a crush on her for a while? Sure. Thought she was fun to mess with? Yes. Thought he bosom and cleavage were nice? Absolutely! But love? No, he didn't love Snow. He loved Relaiya and now she was gone from him forever. Robin sank to the ground, crushed.

-Aqualad
Kaldur watched as the one person he knew to have the most control over their emotions break down. Wally dashed to his friend's side trying to console the broken boy. Conner clenched his hands into fist, before rounding on Robin. He easily lifted the boy off of the ground with one hand, by the lapels of his shirt.
"What did YOU do to her? What did you do to HURT her?!" Conner asked angrily.
"Leave him alone Con. Can't you see he's in pain?" Wally asked in a reprimanding tone.
"THIS…IS…HIS…FAULT!" Conner spat.
"Superboy," Kaldur interrupted, "put Robin down." Conner stared at him angrily, but complied. Snow, who had been staring at Robin, frozen, came to life then. She angrily rounded on Me'gann and pounced on top of her.
"Look what you've done!" She screamed as Kaldur went over to the two girls. He pulled his girlfriend from Me'gann, holding her close to himself. She kept trying to break away, but he kept his hold on her firm.
"What did Me'gann do?" Artemis asked.
"Yeah what could she possibly have done?" Conner asked, obviously confused. Snow stopped fighting and pointed an accusing finger at the Martian.
"She put the notion in Relaiya's head that Robin and I have a thing for each other!" She said glaring at the girl.
"Why would you do that" Robin asked in a small broken voice. Kaldur and Me'gann winced at the sound.
"I…I-" Me'gann tried, but Snow cut her off.
"You were so paranoid about Conner that you had ruin other people's happy relationships. You know the saying…misery loves company." Snow spat.
"What're you talking about love?" Kaldur asked.
"I found Megan crying and tried to see what was wrong with her. Why did I ever do that? She tells me that she's been reading Conner's mind to find out that he has wet dreams about Relaiya." Conner blushed deeply as all eyes turned on him. "Don't look at him like that! He's entitled to his thoughts, because they are just that…THOUGHTS. Besides according to Wally, who was their for this madness, she isn't supposed to read anybody's minds, but the bad guys. His ACTIONS show that he loves Megan, but little Miss green is to blind to see that! Out of anger she reads Robin's mind and finds that he had feelings for me. We've known each other for a very long time so that's only natural. But what he feels for me…it pales in comparison to what he felt for Relaiya. He LOVED Relaiya! Got that green girl! He liked me…he LOVED HER! You told her that Conner loved her and that Robin loved me which is all bullshit!" Snow finished her rant and tried to lunge at Me'gann again, but Kaldur kept his hold on her. Robin stood then, laughing humorlessly, as tears slid from under domino mask.
"I lost Lai…because of you? Thanks a lot Meggs. You wanted to punish me for the one derogatory thought I had, well you won. I hope your happy. Someone should be." He said as he stood and dusted off his clothes. He then walked dejectedly back inside of the cave. Conner turned his eyes on his girlfriend.
"All that pain…the reason she was hurting so much…was because of you?" Conner asked, disbelief coloring his features. "You're the reason she left." He said in a low voice, eyes downcast.
"Conner I-" Me'gann began. Conner punched the ground as hard as he could, effectively cutting her off and leaving a small crater. He then leaped off away from the cave. Wally rubbed the back of his head and sighed. Me'gann crumpled to the ground in tears.
"I'm going to check on Rob." Wally said and then dashed inside of the cave, followed by Artemis, who gave Me'gann a disbelieving glare, and Thunder Kid who seemed indifferent to everything.
Me too. Might as well, since we apparently LOVE each other." Snow snorted, sarcasm dripping from her voice as she too went back inside of the cave. Kaldur went to Me'gann and bent down to pat her on the back.
"You've caused a lot of trouble. Trouble I don't know if this team can recover from, but if there is a way…I'm sure you'll find it. I'm sorry." He said in his father-like voice. He stood then and headed inside the cave. His team had fallen apart before his eyes, and there was nothing he could do to stop it.
