I am so sadddd. Only one more to go guys D:
I do not own Young Justice.
Yonderly - mentally or emotionally distant; absent-minded.
"Is everything alright?" Miss Martian couldn't help but ask.
Kaldur looked up from the sea, surprised. "Everything's just fine, Miss Martian," he smiled.
"I'm sorry, I don't mean to pry," M'gann floated closer to Kaldur, "but I'm sensing great turmoil from you. I'm not reading your mind or anything it's just that I can sense your emotions at the back of my head and well—"
"I understand, M'gann."
"So, uh, what is the Earth saying? A penny for your thoughts?"
"I am just reminiscing of earlier times," he gave her an encouraging smile.
"Earlier times?" she repeated innocently.
"Yes, before I became Aqualad."
"And what was it like?"
"Atlantis is not like the surface world. I've been practicing combat and the mystic arts before I became Aqualad, we have a military to maintain. But back then, I never really expected to go forward. I expected to become a soldier and finish at that. But now…" he paused. "Now I'm a leader of a team consisting of amazing heroes, and even better friends."
"I know what you mean," Megan turned her head away from Kaldur and looked out across the ocean and toward the sky. "On Mars, society is very different too. We're in the middle of a civil war, so I have hardly experienced normal life."
"This must be a very hard time for your people."
"It is, but we'll get through it," Miss Martian brightened up, throwing a charming smile onto her face. "I know I'll get through it, I got the team and everyone supporting me."
"No matter what, we will always be there for you M'gann," Kaldur regarded her with a happy expression. "Remember that."
"You should remember that too, Kal. We all get homesick, but it is a family that makes a home, is it not?"
"Yes, a family does make a home. And my family is right here, but Atlantis will forever be my birthplace."
"And no one is asking you to change that," M'gann landed on her feet. "We just want you to know that if you want the mountain to become a more permanent home, we'll always be here to make it homey."
"Thank you."
"Anytime." With one last smile Kaldur's way, Miss Martian floated back toward the entrance of the Cave.
The mountain had become like a second home to Aqualad, but Atlantians needed to be in salt water. He was literally a fish out of water whenever he was on the surface world. The team is important to him, but as a leader he has to maintain some form of distance. When it all comes down to it, he is still a soldier of Atlantis. And as a soldier, he must remain professional.
Some M'gann and Aqualad bonding, cause there's not enough of it!
