Secrets

By: Robin Gurl

Chapter 4

Wonder Woman sighed leaning on the table, her husband hovered over her and started to massage her shoulders. "Diana, don't worry Wonder Girl will be fine."

She turned around grinning. "I know, I'm more worried about Batman than anybody."

Suddenly the doors to the Hall of Justice opened, and Wonder Girl came running in, the others followed. "Mom, you'll never guess what we brought home."

Wonder Woman sighed, "I don't want to know."

"It better not be another pet, you didn't keep up with the space raccoon you got last time." Her father, Aquaman put in placing his hands on his hips.

Wonder Girl smiled sheepishly looking to the floor, "Sorry," she looked back up with a reassuring smile, "It's not."

Behind Wonder Girl stood a shorter girl wearing a white dress, her hair up in a crown. The girl smiled at the others, she uttered a weak "Hello."

Wonder Girl clapped her on the back pushing her further in, "go on Sarah, they won't bite."

Aquaman smirked again, winking at Wonder Woman, "I guess we'll have to make sure she feeds this one."

Batman laughed, walking past the younger ones, his faced turned serious, "It seems that Sarah-"

A loud crash from out in the main hall accompanied by a yelp stopped the conversation short as everyone turned to see Robin desperately trying to hold the jumble of textbooks he had dropped.

Within the pause Sarah noticed Wonder Girls face light up as the young man in green and red stumbled into the room.

Batman was the first to break the silence, "Ah, I see our young college bachelor is back from class."

"Yea, sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt your.." Another book fell from his hands onto the floor, Wonder Girl giggled but quit when her parents both gave her a stare.

As Robin bent down to grab the textbook still trying to keep the others in his arms, he looked at the group, "Sorry I..." Suddenly his eyes fell upon Sarah, "And who is this lovely lady." Robin slowly walks towards her, and, if not for tripping over his own cape, he would have given any woman the impression that he was a gallant knight, able to save a damsel effortlessly.

"I uh.. I'm Sarah."

Robin grinned "I..."

Wonder Girl interrupted walking over and standing between them, "This dork is Robin."

Batman quickly changed the subject, trying to spare his sidekick the humiliation of another girl casually brushing him off because of a lousy first empression, heaven knows he didn't need another.

"Well, it seems we have a situation on our hands."

Outside the training room lobby the kids waited anxiously, they had gotten the distinct feeling that they should leave the adults to talk the matter over, if not because of the kind sounding suggestion, than because of "the look" that often followed, this time was no different than any other.

Sarah figeted nervously, she glanced at each of the adults, their serious faces were ones she was not accoustomed to. The Jr. Superfriends were a different story however, their facial expressions seemed much more carefree than their older counterparts. Perhaps the only serious face in the bunch was Superboy, who was intensley playing his gameboy while floating in the air.

Sarah looked over the group, her gaze locked with Wonder Girls. Neither said a word, but only stared silently as if a world stood between them, with Robin in the middle, Sarah didn't know what it was, but Wonder Girl seemed very protective, she could see it in her eyes.

Suddenly their endless stare was broken by a yelp from Super Boy, it was abruptly followed by a crash.

"I told you not to do that." Superboy was sitting on the ground next to his fathers feet, it seemed Superman had come out of the training room behind them unnoticed and had startled Superboy.

Superman chuckled, "Lighten up, it was just a joke"

"Yanking me down by the cape while im concentrating in the air is not a joke, i was about to get the high score."

"Relax Superboy, it was only a game." Kid Flash said playing a game of go fish with Aqualad in one of the corners of the room. The two were the other addition of the Jr. Superfriends who Sarah had met since her arrival at the Hall of Justice.

The first of the new comers, Kid Flash, was apparently one of the fastest runners in the world. His father was the other. The second had more to him that Sarah had just found out earlier. Aqualad was near her age or so it seemed and was smart. Smart in books not in life. He seemed to be in the very same predicament she was.

Aqualad or Alex as Wonder Girl had called him was from Atlantis. His sister was Wonder Girl and his parents were the Blonde man in orange and green and the woman in the pretty swim suit. Alex had just come to land and didn't know how to exactly fit in here.

He was learning quickly according to Superboy, but apparently not quick enough. His English was very dodgy and didn't make sense.

Right now he looked down right mortified as Kid Flash said, "Go Fish."

"..But I do not wish to go fishing. It is very rude even if you do need food."

Kid Flash groaned shaking his head, "Look, Alex, I don't mean literally. I mean draw a card." He knew it was going to happen. He just knew it.

"Oh." Aqualad reached forward and grabbed a card taking it in his hands. He studied the cards for awhile then grinned and placed down a red 2 and a black 2. "Ha! A pair!"

Superboy stood and hovered over the other's shoulder. "No. You're playing Four Decks…you have to get two red 2's or two black 2's."

Aqualad's face fell and he blushed, "Sorry."

Sarah sighed and stood up. "I can't just sit here and while my parents are out there."

Everyone turned around to see the small Princess pacing the floor. Aqualad stood and walked over to her, "Princess Sarah, you musn't worry."

Sarah looked up to the Prince of the Sea. "Why not? I'm not doing anything to help them. I feel so useless." Her gaze fell again and a few tears started to fall.

"You're parents are going to be fine! Expecially if the Super Friends have anything to say about it." Superboy put in offering a smile. "My dad can take care of it!"

"Woah, hold on there, Superboy. I don't even know what the problem is." Superman was confused as it was. "What is going on?"

"Sarah is a Princess on a planet called Membian." Wonder Girl muttered. "Her parents were kidnapped and now she's here looking for her twin."

Superman eyed the Amazon Princess giving her a stern look to watch the Attitude. "Sarah, I'm sure we will do what ever is possible to get your parents back. But what about this twin?"

"I don't know. All I know is that I have a twin brother and he and I are supposed to have special powers. My parents supposedly sent him to Earth when he was younger or something and now I must find him!"

"I see."

"That's what the adults are in there meeting about." Kid Flash put in quickly.

"I'm going to go join them. Why don't you guys go train some more." The group started to groan and stood. Superman watched to make sure they actually went into the Sim room then left to join the other Super Friends.
