A/N And I'm back! And during the next week we'll get even more updates! Why? I hear you ask. Well, next week is Easter break! I'm so fucking excited! And I'm also excited because this story has reached 20 followers! That is insane! As a thank you, I wrote another chapter that wasn't planned to be in this story at all, but when I wrote it, I realised that it should be in here. It's kinda awkward, at least I hope it is. It's also short, like 500 words, but's it's basically one conversation between two characters. Check out chapter 12, I just realised that I forgot to uplode Schooled, but it's up now. I promise. It's there. I'm sorry, I was looking through my chapters and was like 'why have I uploaded 19 chapters, but I have 21 documents?' But it's there now. I promise.

Mount Justice

"This past 4th of July, four ice villains staged simultaneous attacks. Mr. Freeze, Icicle Jr., Killer Frost and Captain Cold were all easily apprehended, perhaps, too easily. Cold and Frost were immediately sent to Belle Reve Penitentiary, a federal prison designed to house super criminals. The seventeen year old, Icicle Jr. was sent to a juvenile facility. Mr. Freeze to his usual cell in Arkham Asylum. But Mr. Freeze petitioned in court to be declared legally sane and Junior sued to be tried as an adult. As a result both await transport to Belle Reve which seems to have been the goal all along," Batman informed us, showing pictures of the four criminals. "I'm sending the two of you in to figure out why," he continued looking at M'gann and Conner.

"Who inside the prison will know their true identities?" Kaldur asked.

"No one, we can't be certain the prison staff isn't compromised," Batman told us.

"Aqualad and Green Lantern," I perked up at my name. "You will stay in the bioship and if anything goes wrong you will get them out," Batman told us. I nodded.

"What is considered as 'going wrong'?" I asked.

"That is decided by Superboy and Miss Martian, but if you feel like it is necessary to get them out, then do so. Green Lantern, do you have any experience with dying hair?" Batman asked me. I raised my eyebrow and looked at him in confusion.

"Yes?" I had dyed Kyle's hair once.

"Good, you will have to dye Superboy's hair for this mission," Batman told me, he went of to the side and picked something up. He gave it to me. Huh, hair bleach.

New Orleans

September 14th, 16:53 CDT

Kaldur and I were hiding in a warehouse in New Orleans, waiting for Superman and Martian Manhunter to send in the 'Terror Twins'.

The twins crashed through the ceiling, I met Kaldur's eyes, sending him a nod before standing up and putting on a inhibitor collar on Tuppence Terror from behind, surprising her. Kaldur was doing the same on Tommy Terror. I quickly grabbed Tuppence's arms, holding her in a strong grip, making her unable to move them.

"I don't feel right… my strength! But I just gone toe-to-toe with Superman?!" Tommy Terror groaned out in a heavy southern accent.

"Congratulations, that's more quality time than he's ever given me," Superboy said, stepping out of the shadows. He was dressed as Tommy Terror, his hair dyed blonde, courtesy to me. M'gann sent him a worried look before walking towards Tuppence and I.

"Got your inspiration, sister Tuppence?" Superboy asked her, lacing his voice with a thick southern accent.

"I believe I do, brother Tommy," M'gann responded as she turned into Tuppence, adding a southern accent to her voice.

"Somebody tell me what's going on?!" the real Tommy asked. Batman stepped out of the shadows and put inhibitor collars on Superboy and Miss Martian.

"It's simple, they're under arrest," he told Tommy.

Belle Reve Penitentiary

September 16th, 21:55 CDT

Kaldur and I was sitting together in the bio-ship. I had a feeling this would be a very boring mission for the two of us. I fiddled with my sea shell necklace, my mind far away on Lah. It had been two years now. Nor'La'Lun would be turning eighteen in just a couple days. I wonder if he's married by now? Maybe he has a wife with kids? The thought filled me with both happiness and dread. If he had children by now, then I was of course happy for him, but I was saddened by the thought that I might have missed the birth of his child. And his wedding, just add it to the long list of things I might have missed. Ki'Sor's twelfth birthday, his training as a warrior, maybe his wedding too, the birth of my nieces and nephews, Kaj'Saj becoming a priestess, Nor'Kun becoming a diplomat.

I gripped the sea shell harder at the thought of Nor'Kun. Of what we had had. I feared I might crush the sea shell with my strong grip, so I loosened it slightly.

My mind travelled back in time to the moment he gave me it. I understand. But I will wait for you, was he still waiting? I felt a slight ache in my heart at my own betrayal. I wanted to ask for your hand in marriage, because we loved each other, and I wonder what my answer would have been. What if I hadn't travelled to earth? Would we have gotten married? Would we have settled down? Would I be bearing his children?

I glanced down at my necklace. As a symbol of my love. We loved each other back then, more than anything in the world. But yet, I choose an adventure over him. The man I had given my virtue to, the man I thought I would spend the rest of my life with. And to this day I wonder if it was the right choice. To abandon everything I knew? To leave my family and the person I was close to marrying? But then my mother's words flew into my head, your destiny isn't with Lah, but somewhere else. Was that somewhere else here on earth. Was that somewhere else with Kaldur?

Was this the choice? The choice between earth and Lah? The choice between Nor'Kun and Kaldur? The choice between my family in Lah and my family on earth. The choice between adventure and stability?

It felt like my biggest question since moving to earth had been solved in that instant. Only to be replaced by the next. Which option would I choose?

"Kayla? Kayla!" I felt someone shake my shoulders. I snapped to attention and looked straight into Kaldur's eyes.

"Huh, what?" I asked.

"Kayla, you're crying." Wait, what. I raised one hand to touch my cheek and felt the wetness of tears.

"Oh, sorry, I was just…" I looked for the word. "Lost in thought."

"What were you thinking of?" Kaldur asked me, brushing away my tears and giving me a kind and warm smile, a part of me wanted to kiss him, but Red Tornado was also in the space ship. I thought for a moment, was I thinking of home? No, I wasn't even sure where my home was right now.

"Lah," I told him. He gave me an understanding look. He didn't need to ask me more.

"Maybe you should visit, it helped me clear my head," Kaldur told me.

"Yeah, but this isn't some trip you make over the weekend. If I were to fly there it would take a week of constant flying. I would need a Green Lantern space ship to get there," I told him. We continued our conversation until it was time to sleep.

The next day something finally happened.

Green Lantern, Aqualad. The ice villains are planning a breakout, we think it will happen soon, M'gann told us via the mind link. Time to pull you out, call in the League, Kaldur told them. Icicle Sr. would just have it postponed, or they'll just try again, M'gann reasoned. I sighed. Agreed, I thought.

"We shall remain on alert," I told Red Tornado, since he couldn't take part of the mind link. Kaldur crossed his arms over his chest with a sigh and frown.

And then we waited, everyone sitting in silence. I let out a sigh and started fiddling with the sea shell necklace. My mind travelling back to Lah. Was earth worth it? Was it worth possibly giving up the chance to have children? Was the adventure earth offered me worth more than my family? No, it wasn't. But earth wasn't just an adventure, it was the home to my other family, Hal, Carol, the team. While Lah was home to my biological family, mom, dad, Nor'La'Lun, Ki'Sor. But which planet was my home?

A/N Yes, Kayla is not a virgin. Did you expect her to be? Please tell me. When I was writing this I wondered if it'd be a surprise for anyone reading. I mean, it's not really hinted at that much. The only thing that points toward her not being a virgin is the fact that Nor'Kun was about to propose to her before she moved to earth. Btw, if you wondered, Nor'Kun and Kai'Lah got together soon after she got back from her training on Oa. So they had been together for almostr a year before she moved to earth, they had also been crushing on each other for like... two years before that. Kai'Lah lost her virginity 6 months into the relationship.

Fun fact (I might do these at the end of every chapter from now on) - I've created the langauge Lapho. Some words are based lightly on Swedish, for example Ja or Me. Ja is taken from the word Jag, meaning I. Me is taken from the word Med and means With. Some words are based on French or English, or entirely made up.
