Each of the people Nadia stood staring at held a differant look. Diana, the princess of the Amazons looked kind, and yet in a way fierce. Green Lantern looked greatly annoyed, and HawkGirl had an expression on her face that clearly read 'you have got to be kidding me'. The martian from Mars was calm and kept a cool exterior. There was an akward silence as the four walked into the room, the door sliding behind them.
Nadia studied each of their faces. Everyone seemed a little tense except for Diana. They looked at eachother, and then back at Nadia. Each one hoping the other would speak first. Nadia was lost in thought about how this seemed like childish behavior even for her, until the tall African-American man spoke.
"So this is the great savior? Well J'onn, you manage to leave out the small detail that she's 5 feet tall."
Nadia was not going to take that."Achem, 5"1.5, actually."
Green
Lanter grimaced, Nadia could tell he wasn't the kind of man who knew
a joke if it hit him with a frying pan.
Diana smiled at her, and
Nadia smiled back.
"I am Wonder Woman, Diana, if you don't mind," she then motioned to the woman with wings,"This is HawkGirl, Green lantern," she motioned to the man in green and black,"and I believe you've already met J'onn?"
"Not formally," Nadia said with a slight smile. She mentaly shook her head, she had a question to ask.
"How are the three I brought here with me?"
This time HawkGirl answered her."There's no critical damage. They're excpected to make a full recovery by tommorow."
Nadia nodded. She was pleased that she didn't accidentally ditch school just so the men she was trying to save died. That would really suck. In the back of her head a little voice was telling her to run into the nearest closet and hide there till she could transport home again. But she figured they deserved answers, and wanted to get over with it. She heaved a sigh and begun to divulge her deepest secret.
"I'm guessing you want to know exactly what happened?"
"Naturally," came the Martian's reply.
Nadia leaned back against the chair and gazed out the window."Well, it all started like this..."
She went on about her being late to her bus stop, and seeing the random siamese bird. She told them all about the three super heros fallin into the street, and them almost getting hit by her schools bus.
"And then," Nadia was saying,"I transported us to the first place I could think of, well the first place that I could think of that my three passengers would recognize."
The other four in the room said nothing. They just stared at her with expectant looks an Nadia caught the drift.
She rasied an eyebrow and cocked her head."What, you didn't think I'd give you my life story?"
The continued their staring.
"Oh, you did. Well, don't take it personaly, I haven't told anyone about my secret. I'm scared my Mom'll freak and ship me of to the closest lab so they can stick needls in me."
She shivered and rubbed her arms. "I can't even get a Flu shot without putting up a fight."
Nadia looked at her watch and smiled. 23 minutes. She looked back at the league members, amazed at how fast time flys.
She half excpected one of the four to say something. The one who finally did happened to be Diana.
"We never got your name."
Nadia smiled."It's Nadia Malano. Oh, and if you're going to look me up, check under Jonothan Price, that's my stepdad's name. Anyway, I'll be out in say, more or less than 15 minutes."
"Wait."
Nadia was surprized to see this was Green Lanter who wanted her to stay. He looked at her, as if he were speaking to a kid...oh, wait, he was.
"Look, I think we can all say that this is unexpected. But how do we know we can trust you? If we let you go back now who knows what vital information you might hold."
Nadia was flabberghasted."Trust? Who said I wanted your trust? I just want to get to school so I don't get detention for a month! Or worse, I might get demoted from class president. Look, I did your friends a favor, and I'm not plotting against the Justice League. Trust me, I have better things to do."
J'onn stepped up to the plate."You don't understand. People would go to any lengths to find out information about the Justice League. People like Lex Luthor."
"If anyone were to discover that you had been up here, you could be in very serious danger," HawkGirl said.
Diana sighed."Nadia, we just want you to be safe."
"I'll be fine. Besides, how would anyone even find out."
Green Lantern grimaced."You'd be surprized."
Nadia smiled."Listen, I'll be alright. If anyone trys anything stupid I can usually handle it. I know how to take care if myself."
J'onn nodded."I understand."
He reached into his cloak and pulled out a black watch. Then continued speaking.
"This is a communicator, call if you get into any touble," he said, handing her the watch.
Nadia smiled again."I will."
She looked at her normal watch. The three hours were up.
"Well, it was nice meeting you guys, maybe I'll see you again sometime." And with a wave, she dissapeared with the shadows.
