November 11

7:00 A.M

I wake up in my bed, days after the incident with Klarion. I close my eyes, and stretch out my stiff limbs with a strange call that sounds almost like a dying bird.

It's a habit of mine. I only began to do things like this when I began my training on Paradise Island.

What? They told me that there are times when I shouldn't keep my feelings in. Morning stretching qualifies as one of those necessary times.

As I begin to settle myself back into bed, I hear the phone ring in the kitchen.

As I throw off my covers, I see that Skotádi has made his large-self comfortable on the foot of my bed, making it sink to the ground slightly.

"Lion sized puppy… that's what you are," I grumble as I rush into the kitchen.

I pick up the house phone as such:

"Prince Residence."

"Addie!" Robin's voice shout-whispers. "Don't tell me you're just getting up?"

"Naw… I've been awake for *yawn* hours…" I reply.

"So you'll be here in a few to surprise Wally, and help M'gann, Artemis, and Zatanna with food?" He asks.

"Sorry to burst your bubble brother," I begin. "But despite what you may think, I can't cook. As a matter of fact, I burn water."

"Then you can light the candles," He says. "Nash, Kaldur, and the Magician are already here lifting the wall decorations!"

"That's b'cause they're over-achievers…" I pout. "I'll be there in a few."

"Good. See ya' then," He says.

"Bye," I yawn.

Merciful Minerva! I'm not even dressed yet!

I run into my room, only to slow down as I look out the window.

'Snow? In South California? That's definitely not right…' I think looking at the white floofies fall onto the window-cill

I pull out a black dress that goes down to just above my knees, and a pair of tights that have the Supernatural anti-possession sigils across the knees in black, then they switch into a neutral tan color from there up. I put on a pair of lace up, black boots that end half-way up my calf.

I pick out a silver chain necklace with an angel wing on it, and place it around my neck. I curl my hair slightly with a flat iron, and give myself some black eyeliner, with grey-silver eye-shadow.

I don't bother putting on my glasses, mostly because they all know who I am. Don't want them seeing me on the television with my glasses on, then them figure out that Wonder Woman is Diana Prince.

Before I jump out of the window, I grab the present I got Wally, and I leave Mom a note on the fridge.

She's been working non-stop trying to help fix the damage of Klarion's work, and doing her actual job at the base. Needless to say: She hasn't gotten much sleep, so I don't want to wake her up.

As I jump out of the window and into the phone-booth, My feet crunch on the white frosties on the ground.

I reach down and touch it with child-like wonder.

Sure, I've seen snow, but I've never gotten to experience it.

It's so cold, and formable! I pick up the snow in my hands, and I form it into a ball.

I laugh as I throw it at the next building, and I see it explode upon the contact of the brick wall.

I look up when I hear a loud whimpering.

Skotádi is half way out of the window-cill, whimpering because his posterior is caught in the frame, restricting his way out.

"Sko," I laugh fondly. "You know that's the only way I can let you out of the apartment without you being seen!"

He gives me the big puppy dog eyes.

"Fine! But you better remember this when I don't feel like getting up in the morning!" I holler at him as I float up to him, bending the bars around my window to fit his size, letting him jump out.

I pull him into the phone booth first, hearing his entrance.

"Recognized: Skotádi. A-00."

I step into the phone booth next, and I see the retinal scanner reset.

"Recognized: Wonderbat. B-00"

Mount Justice

"Glad you could join us, Addie," Robin teases, giving me a side hug around the waist.

"Quiet you," I pout. "Where do I put the present?"

"Just over by the cake, will be fine," M'gann says from the kitchen.

As I'm about to set the present down, I feel someone grab me around the waist, and spin me around.

"Where's my hug?" I hear Nash ask me, snuggling himself into my neck.

"Keep this up, and it might have just left!" I yell at him.

"What? I can't hug you?" He teases.

Now, despite what you may be thinking, Nash and I have not...err… how you say 'gotten back together'. After he and Haneul rescued me from the pod of goo, Nash just has been acting like I never told him that I don't feel for him the way he feels for me. I don't know if he's blocking it out, or pretending like it never happened.

I'm not sure I'm okay with either of those options.

"If you don't mind," Haneul begins, walking by us with a stack of decorations in his arms. "We have some work to be attending to,"

Haneul isn't wearing anything different, but his jacket is missing, revealing his very muscular, very tan arms.

'I'm not sure if I should be ashamed, or attracted…' I say in my head. 'Ashamed. Ashamed is definitely the first one to be on that short list.'

I look away from the two, a light blush making it's way onto my cheeks as I set the present down, and Nash releases my waist.

"Adeline," I hear Kaldur call me over.

"Yes, Kal?" I ask.

"We could use your powers right now," He smiles.

"No problem!" I smile, "What can I do for you?"

Kaldur, Conner and I out up the ceiling drape-y things across the living room, and in the waterfall room, and a few 'Happy Birthday' Banners across the entrances.

A couple Leaguers start to arrive, including Flash, and Red Tornado.

"Guys!" Robin yells across the hall. "He's coming!"

"Hide!" M'gann and Artemis order.

I duck under the table I was standing at with Kaldur, and Haneul, and M'gann turns the lights off.

"Recognized: Kid Flash. B-03," The voice announces. "Zeta 2 network now offline due to extreme atmospheric conditions."

"Whoa! I just made it!" Wally says, walking past the mission room, and into the kitchen. "Be a tragedy if I missed my own-"

"SURPRISE!" We all shout as he turns on the lights.

"WHaaaaaattt?" He fakes his surprise. "You guys! You shouldn't have!"

"Right," Robin laughs. "Not like you've been hinting for days or anything."

"Well, don't just stand there Speedster!" Nash begins. "Take a seat and lets par-taaayy!"

Wally takes off his jacket, and takes a seat on the couch.

'He's missing something...That's it!' I shout in my head.

"Haneul!" I shout-whisper. "Can you…."

I whisper my plan into his ear.

I see a mischievous smile make it's way onto his face.

"And who says you can't be evil?" He says on the sly.

I roll my eyes, and shove him towards Wally.

Just as Wally spots him, Haneul places the party hat on Wally's dusty red hair, and he waves his magic over it, making it impossible for anyone to remove it, but himself.

"Not cool!" Wally shouts, attempting to take the hat off.

Robin cackles, and throws his arm around Haneul's shoulders.

"You're gonna do just fine here," He smirks.

"Settle down everyone!" I shout over them, as M'gann and Artemis bring in the cakes.

"We made two cakes!" M'gann says, leaning down to place it on the table.

"Awesome! What'll you guys eat?" He jokes.

"We'll split the cupcake," M'gann says. "Make a wish!"

"Waaay ahead of you!" Wally flirts.

Wally thinks for a moment, then he blows out the candles on both cakes.

We all clap and cheer, before M'gann begins to cut the cake.

"How much do you wanna bet that Wally wished for a kiss from M'gann?" Nash bets me, holding me from behind, his arms around my shoulders, and his chin on my shoulder.

"I have no doubt about it," I smirk.

"Addie," Robin calls. "Cake."

"I like food!" I exclaim, breaking free of Nash's arms, and running over to get my plate from Robin.

"You're welcome," He whispers, handing me a plate.

Robin understands my 'situation' with Nash. Robin knows that I'm at odds with my feelings, and he gets it. I have only been around for five months. How am I expected to be thrown all of these emotions, and just expect to know what to do with them?

I do have feelings for Nash, but I might have been wrong as to what type of feelings.

Perhaps I was hoping that he'd be my love? Or maybe all I really want him to be is my best friend? How can I be expected to know this all? I haven't even been here for half of a year!

"Thank you," I whisper feeling a bit guilty. "Hey, why don't you go bring a slice to Zatanna? I'm sure she'd love the company."

I see Robin blush.

"Pu-lease," I nearly yell. "I've seen you on T.V Dick. Don't tell me you've never charmed a girl, or even gotten a smile out of one!"

"It's not like that!" He tries to defend. "This time it's…"

"Real?" I offer, smiling knowingly. "Go over there before I drag you myself."

I offer him a plate of cake, and push him over to her.

I see him offer it to her as they start up conversation.

I move to stand by Haneul.

"So, how are you enjoying the party?" I ask.

"I'm not sure…" He says, taking my fork, and taking a bit of my cake. "I've never been to a 'birthday' celebration before."

"You haven't?" I ask in shock.

"Have you?" He asks in return.

"No, but I have an excuse!" I say. "I'm only five months old. You are centuries old. How could you not have-"

"Because Klarion is a brat," He answers, taking another bite of my cake.

"Hey!" I shout, taking back my fork. "Go get your own. And what do you mean?"

"Klarion never acknowledged my birthday. My 'Parents' only ever cared about him. So, I was left to my devices," He explains.

"I'm...so sorry…" I say. "Hey, how about this: You pick any day, and that will be your birthday from now on. And we'll always celebrate. Whether it be with all of us, or just the two of us. And we can do whatever you want too! We can go to the zoo, or stay home and watch a movie…"

"I'm not a charity case, Princess," He smirks, taking his finger, and swiping it on the frosting of the cake. "Besides, I'm not really the party type."

He walks away, licking the frosting off of his finger.

I raise an eyebrow at his actions.

I feel something pawing at my dress.

I look down to see Sko giving me big puppy eyes, and looking between me, and my plate.

"No!" I shout. "This is human food! Not Space Dragon food!"

He gives me even bigger eyes.

"I will not give in to your foolishness," I state, looking away from his golden gaze.

"Attention team," Batman's voice begins over the intercom, disrupting whatever music was playing. "Suit up. Polar Stealth. Mission briefing in 5."

"A mission? Right now?" Nash complains. "But… cake…"

"Come on, green bean," Robin says, dragging him along into the mission room.

Mission Room

"Hey, where's Flash?" K.F asks the holo-image of Batman.

"Flash and Red Tornado already have their assignments," Batman explains. "A massive Ice Storm has paralyzed North America from coast to coast. Satellite imagery has detected 5 flying Ice Fortresses, source unknown, which seem to be responsible, and must be stopped."

"Can't the Watchtower blow them out of the sky or something?" K.F asks.

The entire room tenses up, then has the same though.

'Way to keep a secret, Wally…'

No telepathy needed for that one.

"What's a Watchtower?" Zatanna asks Robin.

"The League's orbiting Headquarters is not weaponized," He sighs, shooting a glare at K.F. "And with both Green Lantern's off world, discluding Kid Lantern, I need all hands on deck."

"Does that mean what I think it means?" Robin asks. "The League and the Team fighting side by side?"

"Whoa! Really?" K.F exclaims.

"Totally wicked," K.L agrees, high-fiving K.F.

"Superboy," Batman begins."Use the Supercycle to rendezvous with the Bat-plane at Ice Fortress I. You'll drop off Robin, Aqualad, then continue on with Wolf to meet up with Black Canary, and Red Tornado in Ice Fortress II. , Artemis, and Zatanna, take the Bioship and rendezvous with Green Arrow and Martian Manhunter at Ice Fortress III. Wonderbat, you will take the Invisible Jet, and drop off Scarlet Magician, and Kid Lantern, at Ice Fortress IV where you will all meet up with Wonder Woman, Doctor Fate, and Atom. Other Leaguer's will deal with Ice Fortress V. Sending all coordinates now."

"Uhh, Batman?" K.F begins. "I think you skipped-"

"Kid Flash," Batman re-begins. "A young girl in Seattle is in desperate need of a heart transplant. With all conventional Air Traffic grounded b the storm, you'll need to pick up the donor heart in Boston, and run it 3,000 miles across the country."

"Who is this girl?" K.F asks in shock.

"Does it matter?" Batman counters.

"No… of course not… but can't we Zeta-"

"Zeta tubes are offline," Robin interjects. "Sorry…"

"Right… then how can I say 'no'?" K.F sighs. "Guess I won't be needing stealth. Speedy delivery boy, at your service..."

He taps his logo, and his red and yellow suit re-appears.

"I suppose you'll be needing stealth as well," I hint an Haneul.

"Don't need it," He replies. His red magic swirls up his body, and every red piece of fabric on his body turns white, except for his hair.

"You'll need a cap," I say.

He pulls up a secret hood from his jacket.

"Am I free to fight now?" He asks, smirking at my surprise.

"Not all the way," Nash says, as we begin to make our way up the staircase to the top of the cave.

It's where I parked the jet.

Don't judge me.

Out of nowhere, Nash pulls out some sort of collar, and places it around his neck.

"Nash!" I exclaim.

"This is in case you get any ideas about betraying us," Nash explains. "One wrong move, and you'll be toast."

"Nash! When we are in the air, you better believe I have some choice words for you!" I shout at him, not having the time to beat him up.

Invisible Jet

"Nash Jordan!" I begin. "How could you? Haneul has my full confidence in his abilities, and in his loyalty!"

"And you know so much about loyalty in the five months you've been alive," Nash rolls his eyes.

"Clearly I know more about it that you do!" I argue. "How dare you just force a killing device around his neck! Had he not proved himself when the world was attacked by Klarion?" I inquire.

"Maybe to you and Kaldur, but not to the rest of us. You're faith in him means nothing to me," Nash growls.

"Oh, so that's where we stand?" I begin. "My faith means nothing to you? My faith is what got me this far in trusting you. In trusting the team. Can't help but wonder what else doesn't mean anything to you."

"You think this is about what happened at the dance?" He asks condescendingly. "You think that this is about me being mad at you for running away? You've got it all wrong, Princess."

Funny.

He used to call me 'Princess' as a term of endearment.

Now the word is filled with malice, and anger.

"Perhaps it is who who have it wrong, Lantern," I spit. "Do you think that I think about the 'wrongs' I have done regarding our relationship? That I spend every waking hour, wondering what you ever did to make me feel this way? No. I wonder why I didn't do it sooner. I think that you are filled with so much fear, so much anger. Too much to notice what a monster you are becoming. I don't think Haneul is the one who needs the collar."

There is a long moment of silence after that.

'WHAT ARE YOU SAYING?!' I yell at myself.

'I'm thinking that maybe it's a good thing I ran. If these are his true colors, maybe it's good that I didn't stay. Good that I'm not going to watch him tear himself apart with fear, and rage. Or maybe I should stay to help him figure this all out?'

"Glad I know how you really feel," He spits, sitting back down on the floor.

I continue piloting the jet, a regretful expression making it's way onto my face.

'Too far?' I ask myself looking back a Nash.

I can tell the change in his demeanor is not a good one.

I could tell what I did the moment I did it.

I drove him closer into Sinestro's arms.

'Too far, indeed.'

Ice Fortress IV

I put the Jet into Auto-pilot, and I have it hover around the Ice Fortress where I see Mom, Zatara/Fate, and Atom taking out the artillery on the fortress.

Opening the hatch at the belly of the Jet, I glance at Haneul, and Nash. Both prepared and ready for the battle.

"On my mark!" I yell over the howling wind. "Three! Two-"

Nash jumps out of the Jet before I finish.

"Nash!" I yell.

"Handful. Isn't he?" Haneul asks, popping out of my sight.

I roll my eyes.

"...One," I say miserably, pencil diving into the action.

The wind rushes past my ears, and through my hair as I slice through the sky. It doesn't last for long though, as I land on the Fortress, making a crater in the floor.

I don't have time to find Wonder Woman, as I am thrown into the crossfire immediately.

I hold my cuffs up to dodge the shots being thrown at me by the oversized machine gun.

I toss my arms over myself as I dodge, and run at the machine, making the blasts ricochet off of my cuffs, and right back at the machine.

Wonder Woman comes around just in time to lasso the machine off of it's hinges, and throw it into the air before it explodes in my face.

Literally and figuratively.

"I read your note, love," Wonder Woman says, working with me to destroy the propellers on the bottom of the fortress. "Did Kid enjoy his party?"

"Well, up until we got called in for a mission," I say, grabbing a piece of shrapnel, and tossing it into the fortress. It didn't go in far enough.

"I'm sorry to hear that, but this was kind of important," She laughs.

"I can see that!" I reply, kicking the shrapnel piece further into the fortress. "On the plus side, he won't be hitting on M'gann anymore! Artemis finally broke the news to him!"

"About time that boy figure out," She laughs, throwing me up in the air to punch through one of the snow propellers.

"How's it going up there, fellas?" I ask Kid lantern and Scarlet Magician.

"Just fine," K.L responds with a tight lip.

"Almost clear on this end," S.M replies a bit lighter than Nash did.

"We are almost complete as well," I report.

"Does it sound like we asked?" Nash sasses me.

My lip tightens as I hold back a remark.

'Can you say : 'uncalled for'?' I think to myself.

"We are locked down out here," Wonder Woman reports to Batman through her comm. "Yes, they are all plausible suspects… Yes the Magician and Wonderbat are here… No, Kid Lantern is missing…"

After we took down the fortresses, Nash has been nowhere to be found. I can't help but feel like this is my fault. After all, I am the one who told him that he belonged on a leash.

I feel Haneul place his hand on my shoulder, giving me a look of sorrow.

"Stop thinking this," He says so that Wonder Woman can't hear us. "He made his choice."

"But that's the point," I begin. "I didn't know I was helping him make it."

Hey Guys! I know it's been a while, and this chapter is a bit short, but this is what I could manage to do within the week, and with how little they showed in the episode.

Before I get started with the replies: Luna Star Phantom did a really awesome Fan art of Wonder Bat, and it's on her page! Go check it out, and tell her how awesome it is! So shout out to you hun! Thank you so, very much for even considering to make a F.A of Adeline! I can't express how happy I am that you even thought to make one!

Which brings up my other point: If anyone out there wants to make Fan Art of any one of my OC's in Project W.B, Please feel free to! Just send me a comment of where I can find it if you do!

Now onto the responses!

.L: Sorry to disappoint with this chapter. I will have Artemis, Zatanna, and Addie have a bonding time next chapter though. I promise, the next one is going to be good :D

Brandon 1289: Thank you! Much appreciated!

Firecracker: My exams are actually next week, but SOL's were going on, and they might as well be exams. Thankfully, I might only have to take my Chemistry exam (meaning I only show up on Friday of next week). And I was in AP English 11 this year, so you have fun in your advanced english classes. I'm not gonna lie, they're not gonna be easy. And I love you all too!

Anon 124: No prob! I'm here to reply! Lol.
