I'm back and I can confirm that I am not dead! Where the hell have I been? Out there. Why did I stop writing for so long? Personal issues plus me kinda losing interest in writing. If you have any questions you want to ask, feel free ask and I'll try answering them bet I can.
Mount Justice. Happy Harbor, Rhode Island
July 18, 11:16 EDT
The Mount Justice Computer picks up the Zeta Tube usage.
/Recognized: Robin, B-01. Kid Flash: B-03./
The boys appear in their civilian clothes. Robin wearing black pants, a black hoodie,a green shirt, black sneakers, and a pair of black sunglasses that hides his identity from anyone who doesn't recognize him. Kid Flash wore a long-sleeved yellow shirt, short brown sleeve jacket, and red sneakers.
"Did you ask her?" Robin asks.
"What did she say?" Kid Flash follows up.
"I don't know." Tula replies. "I just arrived no sooner than you two."
"Kid Flash!" Miss Martian greets as she floats over and hugs him. Wonder Girl and Aquagirl walked by with a small smile.
Miss Martian was currently wearing a red skirt, white blouse, and a red jacket over it. As a Martian, her skin was still green. Wonder Girl was wearing a r red T-shirt with white stars, a pair of dark blue jeans, a black-gray leather jacket and black combat boots. Aquagirl wore a blue long-sleeved jacket half-way zipped up, underneath was a yellow tank top, black shorts, and unlike the others isn't wearing shoes. Since she's Atlantean, she doesn't have a secret identity due to her webbed hands and feet.
"Miss M, Wondey, Aqua, morning." Kid Flash greeted back with his own.
/Approaching,/ said the computer as it opened several charts and maps on the screen,/Black Canary./
"That must be her now." Aquagirl exlcaims.
Kid Flash friendly punches Robin in the chest."Then what are we waiting for?" Kid Flash shot out of the room like a miniature hurricane, Robin followed close behind, and finally Aquagirl. Leaving Miss Martian and Wonder Girl, the redhead smiles at the clone as she puts her hands on her hips. Wonder Girl turns, crossing her arms over her t-shirt before walking off. Miss Martian smiles and takes flight to the others. They reached to the hangar and the Cave's secret entrance just as Black Canary approached the entrance riding in on her black-and-yellow Harley-Davidson 883 motorcycle.
"Hello," said Canary as she removes her helmet of the same color as the bike, "What's with the welcome party?"
"We were hoping that you might had a mission for us," said Aquagirl, stepping forward.
"Batman is responsible for assigning you missions."
"But it's been over a week and nothing-" Robin tries, but is cut off by Black Canary put her hand on his shoulder.
"Easy Boy Wonder, over week or not, it's too early to cause trouble. You'll be tested soon enough. Meanwhile, take the time to get to know one another."
Aquagirl stepped up. "This team is not a social club."
"No," Black Canary agrees. "but social interaction is important for team-building. Take it from a professional. Maybe getting familiarized with the cave will keep you busy." said Black Canary as she proceeded past them into the hideout.
"Keep busy!" Kid Flash hissed.
"Does she think we're falling for this?" muttered Robin.
"Oh! I'll find out!" M'gann said, she narrowed her eyes towards the blonde, trying to use her telepathy, but changed her expression to disappointment.
/Recognized: Black Canary, 0-4./
Miss Martian sighs. "I'm sorry. For some reason I can't read her mind."
"Could be one of her superpowers, nice try though." Kid Flash said as he stepped closer to her with a flirtatious smile. "So, know what I'm thinking right now?"
Aquagirl rolled her eyes while Robin elbowed the speedster's turned back "We all know what you're thinkin' now."
"Ow." he complains, but only seeming half-hearted about it.
Aquagirl sighs. "And now we tour the clubhouse."
"Well, Wonder Girl and I live here. We can play tour guides." Miss Martian offers, looking to Wonder Girl.
Robin and Kid Flash instantly turn to Wonder Girl. "Don't look at me." she tells them seriously.
"We won't," replied Kid Flash, looking to Miss Martian again. "A private tour sounds much more fun."
"She never said private," Robin muttered under his breath.
"Team-building," Aquagirl nodded, "We'll all go."
M'gann smied as she led them back into the Cave. "This would be our front door and hangar," she said, "Down that way is the kitchen and bathrooms, bedrooms are over there, we have a rec room and gym down that hall there, I'm pretty sure that's a hologram room, but I'm not sure. The Cave is actually the entire mountain."
"The Cave was found by Aquawoman and it was hollowed out and reinforced by Superman and Martian Manhunter in the early days of the League." Kid Flash explained as they entered the Cave's secondary hall, hall-filled with an underground freshwater pool.
"So if this place is practically invisible to the public eye, then why did the League abandoned it for the Hall?" Wonder Girl asked.
"The Cave's location was...compromised," explained Aquagirl.
"So they traded it for a tourist trap? Yeah, that makes sense." Wonder Girl said sarcastically.
"If the Cave's location is known, then we must be on constant alert." Miss Martian said raising her hand in accentuation, thinking she's figured it out.
"The bad guys know we know they know about this place," said Robin, taking Ms. Martian's hand. "They'd never think to look here."
"Uh," Kid Flash interrupts and removing Robin's hand from Miss Martian's "He means we're hiding in plain sight."
"Ah, that's much...clearer." Miss Martian scratches her head, clearly still confused.
Wonder Girl sniffs the air and frowned. "I smell smoke. Is something burning?"
M'gann's eyes widened. "My cookies!" She shot off down the hall towards the kitchen. By the time the others caught up with her, she was using her telekinesis to lift a tray of burnt and blackened cookies out of the oven. She laid them on the counter sadly. "I was trying out Grammy Jones's recipe from episode 17 of...ah, heh, never-mind." She grinned at the others, trying to hide her slip-up. Robin raised an eyebrow at first but decided to ignore it. He has his own secrets that he wants to hide, and she was entitled to hers.
"I bet they would've tasted great," Robin reassured her, "He doesn't seem to mind." He was referring to Wally who was actually eating the burned cookies, much to everyone's amazement.
With his mouth still half full and a burnt cookie in each hand, Aquagirl and Wonder Girl can only watch in stunned silence. "What? I have a serious metabolism!:" he said as he continued to eat.
"I'll... make more?" Miss Martian seems unsure how to take that comment.
"It was sweet of you to make it." Aquagirl tells her.
"Thank you, Aquagirl!" the Martian says, ducking her head slightly.
"We're off duty, my name is Tula ta'Xebel." She said smiling. "Actually, my friends call me Tula."
"I'm Wally." Kid Flash said before leaning on the counter staring at the Martian. "See? I already trust with my secret identity. Unlike Mr. Dark Glasses here," he motioned to Robin, "Batman's forbidden boy wonder from telling anyone his real name."
"Well mine's no secret," gushed M'gann, "It's M'gann M'orzz, but you can call me Megan. It's an Earth name. And I'm on Earth now." She grinned happily.
Wonder Girl turned and left with a blank expression on her face, feeling jealous that she doesn't have a real name just yet, but she honestly didn't cared that much and just shrugged it off. M'gann looked at her with sorrowful look.
"Don't worry Wonder Girl," M'gann gently said using her telepathy, catching the clone by surprise.
The clone grunts in shock and her posture tenses, looking at the green-skinned redhead in shock and possibly a tiny bit of fear.
"We'll find you a Earth name someday." she continues, smiling kindly and totally unaware of what she's doing.
Wonder Girl grips her head for a moment. "Get out of my head!" she shouts at the Martian. Tula, Wally, and Robin's attention was immediately on M'gann. They all know what Wonder Girl does when she's angry, they look back at M'gann a curious expression on their features.
"What's wrong? Everyone on Mars communicates telepathically." She said to them mentally, causing the others shifting uncomfortably hearing her voice in their minds.
"M'gann stop!" Tula commands anger clear in her voice. M'gann closes the link and looks confused and hurt, but listens to Tula. "Things are different on Earth. Here, your powers are an extreme invasion of privacy."
"And Wondey has a bad experience with telepathy when Cadmus' psychic G-Gnomes tried to take control of her mind." Wally added.
"Oh, I'm sorry." M'gann said sincerely, "I didn't mean to-"
"Don't ever do that again!" Wonder Girl growls cutting her off, her eyes burning bright with rage as she walks into the adjoining roomm, leaving the four remain in total silence.
"I will, I'm sorry." M'gann replied still depressed, then perked up after she got an idea. "Hello Megan! I know what we can do."
She takes off flying, leaving the four to follow her. Wally turns to Robin who shrugs, but all three do follow M'gann. Though Wonder Girl remains behind, but M'gann stands in the entry to the hallway. "Wonder Girl, please."
"Don't talk to me." she says, less angry and more instinctively annoyed. M'gann's face falls and Wonder Girl looks out of the corner of her eye. She looks back down before standing up. M'gann's face brightens, despite the fact that Wonder Girl seems to only be doing this to not feel guilty about the Martian cry later.
The team all walked down to the garage and they see a red oval shaped craft with black lining. "It's my Martian Bioship." M'gann said excitedly.
"Cute."Wally offers. "Not aerodynamic, but cute."
"It's at rest, silly." M'gann smiles bright, reaching her hand out. "I'll wake it." as she does the oblong turns into a shape recognizable as a ship. She even spins 180 º with just a motion of her hand. A small staircase comes off the back showing off some the insides. She walks towards it but soon realized that the others aren't following. "Well, aren't you coming?" she asked.
Uncertain at first, the four complied and enter inside the ship. They all soon made their way to the cockpit of the ship to reveal a captain's chair and four more side chairs.
"Strap in for launch." M'gann tells them. Wally and Robin exchange bright grins before sitting down.
As he does Robin goes to lean forward as the chair moves, eliciting a "who" from the stunned- and possibly scared- Boy Wonder. The chair reaches out and creates chest restraints that hold the thirteen-year-old in place.
Wally sits down next and now knowing what happens, doesn't panic. "Cool." he tells M'gann.
"Black Canary," M'gann says, sitting in the captain's chair. "please open the bay door."
As the bay doors open, two control towers form by M'gann's hands.
Once open the Bioship flies out at impressive speeds, only to slow just above the surface of the water and being a near 90° upward flight, before barrel rolling to face to face towards the mainland once more.
"This is incredible!" Robin tells M'gann, more likely impressed with the responsiveness and her piloting skills than anything.
"She sure is..." Wally said staring at M'gann dreamily while she looked at him. "I mean, the ship, like all ships is a she." Wally countered nervously.
"Fast on his feet, not so much with his mouth." Robin snickered to the Martian.
"Dude!"
As the others were talking, Tula decided to talk with Wonder Girl after her outburst with M'gann back at the Cave."While I can't exactly read people's minds like M'gann, one doesn't need to be psychic to guess what you are thinking." the Atlantean said. "You overreacted and you're not sure how to apologize. You could start by simply saying you're sorry." However the clone doesn't reply.
"She'll come around." Robin offers to M'gann, clearly knowing what conversation between the two was about.
"She doesn't seem to like me very much." M'gann says sadly.
"You guys remember she has super-hearing," Wally interrupts, and proving his point by not bothering to whisper. "Right?" sure enough Wonder Girl heard every word.
"Hey, how about showing us some of that Martian shape-shifting?" Robin asks, changing the topic. M'gann nods subtly, thanking him for the change, before stepping up and gaining Tula and Wonder Girl's attention as her clothes begin to change. Making her look like a girlish version of Robin, costume included. Catching Wally's smirk as she turns into a feminine version of Kid Flash.
"Is it wrong that I think I'm hot?" Wally asks while having a goofy grin on his face.
No one responds to him, and Robin applauds M'gann. "Impressive," she turns back into herself."but you're not exactly going to fool anyone with those."
"Boys are a lot harder to mimic," M'gann said sheepishly as she sat back down.
"How are you able to change your clothes?"the Atlantean questions.
"They're organic, just like the ship," she explained, pulling on her jacket slightly. "They respond to my mental commands."
"As long as they are the only ones." Wonder Girl huffed. M'gann looked down. Wally then looked at her having a sad expression on her face.
"Can you do that ghosting through walls thing like Martian Manhunter?" asked Wally.
"Density shifting?" M'gann responded. "No, it's a very advanced technique..."
"Flash can vibrate his molecules to phase through walls." Robin said then points at Wally. "When he tries it; bloody nose." He said with a chuckle.
"Dude!" Wally hissed, not wanting to be embarrassed in front of a pretty girl.
"Here's something I can do." M'gann said. Around them, the ship seemed to fade away completely, along with themselves. "Camouflage mode!" she explained.
"Ooh! Perfect for late-night getaways, huh?" Wally winked.
"Black Canary to Miss Martian." A voice rang over a communicator in the ceiling. "An emergency alarm has been triggered at the Happy Harbor Warehouse Storage. I suggest you investigate covertly. I am sending you the coordinate now."
"Received," said M'gann, all whimsy in her voice lost as she grew serious, "Adjusting trajectory."
Robin sighed. "Canary's just keeping us busy again."
"It's not like we have anything better to do." Wonder Girl said after remaining silent for a while.
"Besides, a small fire is what led you to find Wonder Girl." M'gann pointed out as she takes the Bioship down and mere feet above the surface of the parking lot."Might as well see what caused this small emergency."
Wonder Girl turns out the side window. "I think I know the cause." she says, right outside the Bioship is a tornado. Heading right for them. M'gann attempts to alter their course so not to be swept but is unsuccessful and the Bioship glitches out of Camouflage Mode as they get fully entangled in the tornado.
