Disclaimer: I don't own Young Justice

Dark secret

Bruce taped his finger along the arm chair as he was deep in thought. He knew his daughter was up to something. Even if he didn't want to admit it, she had turn out more like him in his way of thinking than her mother. She would have something plan and his thought was that she wasn't even in her room right now. Just like him, she prefer to take matter into her own hands than wait for others to do it. His worries were in the fact that she, even when she is friendly with someone, prefers to do things on her own. She had a hard time opening up to other, with the exception of Dick and Melissa, as she seemed to take a liking to the dark hair girl. He knew what they both had been up to lately and even though he was worried he didn't stop in until they gave him a reason to.

Perhaps being in a team of heroes could help her. Deep down he worried about her after all he had lost Skyler and now his daughter had been thrown in a world of crime fighting. He didn't want her to become a hero but her powers were growing and he fear the worst would happen. Thankful that other side hasn't woken up.. yet. Running a hand threw his black hair he let out a sigh. He needed to think of what to do if it does happen. She was strong just like her mother, but that didn't mean she couldn't fall victim to her other side. That's why he decided to teach her how to fight in order for her to do good with her powers.

Then, there was also the his worried about her grandparent. He knew they were looking for Skyler, they had even found out about both of them ending their relationship. They had both kept their eyes on them him and Skyler watching their every move. They never found out about Luna which they were both relief by and wanted to keep that way. They both knew what Skyler parents would do when they found out about Luna. That was something they both wanted to keep a secret until the time came and she was finally introduce to the world as Luna Wayne.

It may have been easier for the young girl to have stayed with her father, but he couldn't do that Skyler. Luna was after all the only family she had. Thankfully, Skyler was about cover Luna's powers and the grandparents only thought she was human. He was sure they thought Skyler had adopted her and nothing more of it. As long as Luna's power hadn't awaken up they wouldn't notice anything. As long as she stayed with her mother's name and he kept a good distance from her she would have been fine. The problem now was that her power had woken and she had come to live with him. As times goes by her power would only get stronger and once they find out their daughter had died and Luna was their granddaughter then they would come to get her.

Perhaps, her having friends would benefit her more than he thought it would. They could protect her if her grandparents decide to come to earth again. With that in mind he got back to work.

Luna travel back to her room. She change her clothes into something more comfortable. A pair of black skinny jeans with black wedge boot, a batman logo sleeveless shirt and leather jacket. A choker was in her neck that had a crescent moon with a sun. Her black hair was braided to the side. She let out a sigh as she laid on her bed. She was sure her father knew of her going out without telling anyone. She was sure that if he found out about the things she had been up to with her best friend. He wouldn't be to please with her. Not that he would ground her, after all she does take up after him.

Letting out another sigh the girl leaned on her bed and open the drawer to her side. A small brown wooden box sat inside with a couple of other things. Luna grabbed the dark color box before closing the drawer. Creasing the top of it she remember the day her parents had given it to her. Unlike other kids, she barely asked of anything. Her parents had a hard time knowing what to buy her. She didn't like playing with doll a lot, or like wearing dresses, or playing with toys in general. When it came to books she was rather picky, some were to boring to her, others were to annoying and she got anger by the main character. Jewelry was something she didn't really like except for that one object they got her. She never expressed what she wanted because she never felt like she needed anything. When your a kid who was born rich were given many things and anything you wanted. For her having her family together and having a home was all she needed. Anything other than that was unnecessary to her, with the exception of a few things.

On her eight birthday she got a brown box with a lock. It was beautiful with the top having a butterfly design with a W in the middle, a few design along the sides, and a heart shaped lock. She put away many letter and treasure memories just like the picture of her whole family together. Other photos were placed in side but what she kept there was the golden round locked her father had given her on her sixth birthday. Vines and small flowers cover the front and back and inside was a photo of her parents one picture was when she was a baby then another one when she was a bit older. She treasure that lock and had never taken it off until her parents divorce and she moved. That wasn't completely what made her put it away, but was a major part of it.

She crossed her thumb over the pictures of them together. A small smile appeared on her lips as she thought of all the good times they had together. She kept a hold on the lock hopping that one day they would return to those days she loved. At least that had been before her mother died. Now those days were nothing but a distant memory and a wish that would never come true.

A knock brought her back to reality as she put her lock away and locked the box once again. Setting it gently back in the drawer she closed it as she made her way to open the locked door. Dick stood in front of her with a huge smile on his face. She raised an eyebrow, "Why are you in such a good mood?" she question.

"Bruce in calling us. He wants us to head to the cave," he answer before making his way down to the cave.

Luna blanked as she watched him go be fore shrugging and following him. It seemed her father had finally made his decision and by the looks of it they would be heading toward their new base. At least this meant that the other young heroes would be getting the chance they've wanted. And if her father was calling her this meant she was going to be apart of a new team.

Usually she would question why she was being brought along. Now she was actually quite glade she came. Mount Justice was in a beautiful Island. With a clear blue sea with a small forest. Inside the mountain was their new base. Some heroes were fixing things inside for the new group. Eclipse turn around as she took in the place. Her eyes were cover by black shades as she wanted to keep most of her identity a secret. Her hair was black and silver once again. She wasn't paying much attention to what was being said around her as she had her headphones on. Only when someone taped on her shoulder did she took her headphones off.

"Dude, I've been calling you for the past minute!" Exclaimed Kid Flash as he crossed his arms. He was dressed in normal cloth and not his superhero outfit. His eyes moved to looked down at her shirt, he gave a smirk, "Nice shirt by the way."

She rolled her eyes having remembered her Batman shirt. With a shrug she gave a smile, "What can I say? Batman is my favorite superhero." She turn to see the others making their way towards them all of them wore normal cloths. Superboy had been given new clothes and was now wearing jeans with combat boots and a black shirt with the Superman symbol in the middle. "Looking good, boy of steel."

Superboy looked down at her with a smile as he stood next to her. He looked down at her shirt and raised an eyebrow, "Batman?"

"He'll always be my number one hero. I'm a big fan," she simply answer. "So how are you liking being outside so far?"

He gave a shrugged, "Okay, I guess."

She frowned at his short answer but decided to let it go for now. It seemed he didn't know how to express his emotions. She would have to help him with that. "Well, remind me to show you to the best Ice cream place," she said before turning to Kid Flash. She took a game out of her black side bag and hand it to kid, "By the way I got a new game, thought you would want to try it out."

Kid Flash gabbed the game with wide eyes, "No way! This game isn't even out yet! How did you get it?" he question as he turn to her.

"Well-" she began but was stopped by Flash.

"Are you going to pay attention or not?" he asked as they all turn to the other heroes.

The young heroes looked at one another before making their way towards their mentors. She frowned in confusion at not seeing superman anywhere. "Where's superman?"she asked her father, but he didn't answer her.

"This cave was the original sanctuary of the justice league," Batman explained as the young heroes were all lined up in front of them. "Were calling it in serves again. Since you five are determine to stay together and fight the good fight." He turn to them with a serious look, "You'll do it in league terms." Batman turn his attention towards the other heroes besides him. "Red tornado volunteer to live here and be your supervisor. Black Canary is in charge of training. I will deploy you on missions"

"Real missions?" Robin asked from besides Eclipse.

Batman turn to him, "Yes, but covert"

"The league will still handle the obvious stuff," Flash informed as the other's turn to him. All except Eclipse she knew most of this stuff, having already figure out there would be something they wouldn't be able to do. She turn as Flash pointed at his symbol in his chest, "There's a reason why we have this big targets on our chest."

"But Cadmus proves the bad guys are getting smarter,"Aqualad added, then turn towards batman, "Batman needs a team that can operated on the side."

"The six of you will be that team," Batman stated as he looked at each of the young heroes.

"Cool," Robin exclaimed as Eclipse frowned.

"Wait," Eclipse began as she looked at him with a raised eyebrow, "Six?" He looked up making them all turn around. From the zeta-tub's shadows walked the martian manhunter and a girl that had the same green skin. Her eyes were brown unlike her uncles and had long red hair. Her suit was a cap with a skirt, short boots, and a shirt.

"This is the Martina manhunter's niece, Miss Martian," Batman introduced. He looked at Eclipse who had her eyes narrowed at the girl, before she gave an indifferent shrugged. "Miss Martina?" he heard her ask.

Miss Martina raised her hand and gave a wave, "Hi," she greeted.

Kid flash turn to Robin with a smile, "Liking this gig more every minute," he said. He turn back to Miss Martian, "Uh, welcome aborted. I'm kid flash, that's Robin, Aqualad, It's cool if you forget their names." As he said that Eclipse rolled her eyes before walking toward him and hitting him on the head. "Ow!" he turn to her as she glared at him behind her glasses. She rolled her eyes as she walked back to Batman ignoring the questioning look the martian girl was giving her. "Oh, and that girl over there is Eclipse. She's not very social, just stay on her good side."

Eclipse turn back towards him and let out a growl at that last comment. Her attention though went back to her father as he looked at the others. "Why isn't superman here?" she asked as he stood by his side with her arms crossed. Batman looked down at her then turn back to the others.

"Back in the tower," was his only replied. He already knew why she was asking about Superman. He watched as she frowned from behind her shades. He didn't know why she was taking such an interest with superboy and supermans relationship. She usually was suspicious and kept to a polite manner when talking to someone new. She didn't act too friendly with new people always suspicious of them especially when it came to new superheroes that she got to know or work along side with. And Superboy being superman's clone would have made her suspicious, but it didn't.

"Has he said anything about superboy?" she asked.

"You seem to become very concern between the relationship between the two," he replied.

As Eclipse talked to her father the other's seemed to not notice and had their attention on the new member. They all walked towards Miss. Martina with the exception of Superboy and Eclipse. Superboy was looking at Eclipse as she looked at Batman with her arms crossed. Neither one spoke and he knew, from having hear when they were in cadmus, that she could talk telepathically. He was sure that she was talking to Batman that way. He looked down as he remembered having seen an image of a woman when she was trying to convince him to help them. He didn't know how, but he had felt her sadness as she remember that woman. "Hey superboy," Robin called out making him look up, "come meet Miss. M." Superboy looked towards the girl as she had a frown on her face then turn towards the others. Perhaps he could ask her later.

She openly rolled her eyes as she crossed her arms, "Am I not allowed to worry about a friend?"

"A clone that you meet in a lab and yet you called a friend even though you had just meet him?" He question. She was taken back by his statement that she said nothing and kept quite. "This is unusual about you. Why are you so worried about Superboy?"

She didn't say anything. Part of her question why she was taking an interest in Superboy. Then again perhaps she say she knew how it felt being treated as an experiment. Her father didn't know the whole story of what had happen. All he knew was that her and her mother had gotten kidnapped. There was an explosion in the place they were being held in and she was the only one that made it out alive. That was all. He never asked her what happen and she didn't know if he had investigated it or not. They didn't talk about that incident. He gave her space and she didn't know if that had been good or a bad thing to do. Sometimes she wish to talk about that day and sometimes she wanted to keep everything to herself.

She turn to the side as she rubbed her arm, "Well... he's a friend. I know it's odd for me to not be suspicious of him, but.." she turn to the others as they chatted with Miss. Martian. She came to care for Robin, kid Flash, and Aqualad. They were her friends after all. People she didn't think would become her friends. With superboy it was different. It was as if she was drawn to him. She frowned at that, "I don't know." From the corner of her eye she could see her father frown. With a shake of her head she let out a sigh, "Anyways.. Why are you avoiding my questions?"

"I'm not avoiding anything," he replied as he walked way from her.

Eclipse pout as she crossed her arms. "Your always avoiding my questions," she commented as she followed him. The other heroes turn to the two as they watched their interaction. Both father and daughter ignored the other's curious looks.

Batman headed towards the zeta-tubs before turning towards her. "Stay and get to know your team," he order as he got ready to leave.

"Wait!" she exclaimed. Moving to stand in front of him she blocked his path, "Your going to let me work on a team without you?" She frowned in disbelief, "I thought you said I couldn't work along side other's unless you were there!"

"And yet you disobey my command and left with your new team," he replied making her take a step back before letting out a groan. Yep, that was her fault. She should have seen this coming, yet she had hopped he didn't actually decided to make her stay.

She raised her hands in defeat, "Okay, I have no excuse for that... at the moment. But!" she began as she looked at him with a pleading expression. She didn't hate the idea of working with a team. She knew later on in the future she would need to work on her own or with other people. But that was it she expected it to be in the future not now. "I'm not even ready to work without having you around. You know what happen last time."

Robin groan from the side remembering what happen when she had gotten the idea of going on patrol without her father. "Don't remind me. I was knocked out for a week," he commented.

She pointed at Robin, "See," she said as she crossed her arms.

Flash walked towards her, "Why were you on their side if you felt you weren't ready yet?"

"Well, I couldn't let my friends stand against you alone, now could I?" She replied before adding, "Or batman. You do know how scary you are?" Batman raised an eyebrow at her as she said that. "I'm just stating the obvious." The other heroes mental agreed with the young girl. Before batman could say anything she kept talking. "You also know that I don't have full control of my powers," she reminded. As much as she liked the fact that she had a few more friends she did not want to be apart of any team. Her powers were still not fully control and she was growing stronger and stronger as time went by.

He looked at her with a smirk, "You seem to be doing well with Melissa," he replied making her stiff.

Her eyes widen as she looked at him with a sheepish smile, "You knew?" He nodded at her let out a groan as her shoulder's drop. Of course he knew. He was batman after all. He always knew what she was doing. "How long? and Why didn't you say anything?"

"A few months ago," he answer.

"Wait, Melissa?" Robin question as he walked towards them, "What doe she have to do with this?"

"Nothing, don't ask," the girl said as she let out a sigh. "I have no saying on this do I?"

"No."

She let out a sigh, "Fine." There was no point in arguing with him when she knew he had already made his decision.

Batman walked past her and pat her head, "This time if you disobey. I will take away your book collection," he warned.

She turn quickly towards him with wide eyes, "No! Not my book collection!"

"And your video games."

Eclipse gasped dramatically as she took a step back with her hand on her heart. "You wouldn't," she mutter.

The other's stood to watch the interaction with confused looks. All except for Flash, Kid flash, Robin, Aquaman, and Aqualad. They were rather used to the girls dramatic actions. After all they had worked along with them for a while already. Even when it surprise them that she acted like that and that Batman sometimes played along, or rare occasions.

"Um, what's going on?" Miss. Martian asked as she looked at the two.

Kid Flash waved his hand dismissively, "Don't worry about it. She's just being dramatic."

"Does she always act like this?" Manhunter asked as he was rather amused by the girls action.

"Yep," the three boys replied.

Eclipse and Batman turn to the other before the girl let out a sigh. "Fine! All stay and work together, but if I send someone to the hospital it is not my fault," she said as she walked away form him. Usually, Batman would be concern with that statement but he knew she would try everything to not hurt any of her friends. With that he turn around and left.

Flash turn to Robin, "She doesn't mean that, does she?"

"No, don't worry she's just saying that," the boy replied as he watched her come closer to them. He smirked as she narrow her eyes at him. "So your stuck with us."

She rolled her eyes at him, "Oh, yeah. Guess I am." She turn to Miss Martian with a welcoming smile. "So... Miss M how are you liking earth so far?"

The green skin girl looked at her and game a smile. "It's a really nice place. I have't been outside much so I have seen many things," the girl replied.

"Well, maybe some time we can go out and explore or something," she said with a shrug.

The next day...

Luna walked down the big mansion as she was bored for the day. Today she just felt like she had nothing to do, she didn't even want to pick up a book. Most of the time that's what she would be doing. Reading or playing video games, sometime she even studied ahead but right now she didn't feel like doing that. "I'm bored!" she let out then sigh. There was nothing to do in the big mansion. She closed her eyes as she thought of what to do before an idea popped into her head. If there was nothing to do then might as well go somewhere else. Smiling she jumped down the coach and left towards the batcave.

After a few mints later she was walking towards the living room in Mount justice. Her hands were inside her black and grey jacket and were grey skinny jeans and black shoes. Her bag to her side with a book inside just in case she felt like reading. As she was almost close to the leaving room Red tornado appeared.

"Eclipse," he greeted, she smiled back at him. "What are you doing here, today?"

She shrugged, "I got bored at home. I hope it's fine that I came here."

"Of course," he replied, "Your welcome to come whenever you feel like it." With that he walked away.

The girl let out a smile before shaking her head and walking into the living room only for her eyes to widen. The kitchen was a mess with many food ingredients all around. Dirty dishes cover the counter. She looked around before her eyes landed on Miss Martian who had a book floating to her side as she was focused on.. who knows what that was. "Um.." she let out starling the girl as she turn around with a surprise look. "What.. happen here?"

"Oh," the green skin girl let out as she looked at the mess she had made. This made Eclipse raised an eyebrow at her with an amusement smile. "Well.. I was trying to bake some sweets but.." she looked down at the messy mix.

"You got them wrong?" she question.

Miss Martian nodded as the book levitated down onto the counter. Eclipse took of her jacket and set it down on the sofa before heading toward her. "Okay, well this does not seem," she looked down at the book to see she was trying to make brownies. The black and sliver hair girl looked towards the mix and looked up towards the martian. "Yeah, this is not what brownies mix should look like." She grabbed some of the butter and tasted it. Surprisingly, it didn't taste that bad. "Well, the taste is not bad but it's still not brownies."

Miss Martian sigh, "I know. I'm just not used to earths ingredients."

"Then that's where we should begin. First, you should get familiarizes with the ingredients then start small. Like make cookies then try brownies and don't make a large portion." She looked around at the mess and frowned. Turning back to the girl she smiled at her, "And we should clean this up."

They cleaned the who place making sure that everything was clean and the dishes where they were meant to be. After cleaning up Eclipse leaned on the counter, "So you like cooking?" she asked.

"Well-" she began before stopping as she turn toward the leaving room. Eclipse frowned then followed her gaze. Superboy was looking at them with a frown as he saw the human girl. "Hey, superboy," Miss martian said as she looked at him.

Eclipse looked at the boy and raised her hand with a wave. "Sup, boy of steel," she greeted with a smile.

"What are you doing here?" he asked as he walked towards them.

"Well, I got bored at home so I decided to come here and see if I could un-bored my self," she replied. She then turn towards Miss Martian, "but I saw miss martian here trying to cook. So I decide to help her."

"You know how to cook?" he question.

The half-human looked at him with a hand on her chest faking feeling offended. "Why of course, my good sir," Superboy looked at her with a raised eyebrow as he gave a small smile at her. "I know how to cook, sew, draw, sing, play instrument; violin, piano, and guitar if you wish to know. And many other things if you wish to know." She leaned on the counter with a bright smile, "I'm a very smart girl."

"All take your words for it," the boy replied as he left to sit on the sofa.

Eclipse turn to Miss Martian who had a frown on her face. She raised an eyebrow at her, "What's wrong?" she question.

The green skin girl shook her head and smiled at her, "Nothing." She walked towards the leaving room having forgotten about cooking. "I think all just watch something on the tv."

She nodded as she watch the martian walk towards the tv sitting in the opposite sofa from Superboy. Eclipse looked to the side not catching the look Miss Martian send Superboy without the boy noticing. She let out a sigh of boredom before making her way towards the sofa. Taking her bag she took out her book and decided to read. Without much thought she sat next to Superboy leaning against him as she began to read.

The boy of steel looked down at the girl leaning on him. He watched as he read behind her shades before turning back to look ahead. After a few minutes the girl feel asleep. Superboy didn't bother moving as he didn't want to walk up the girl but feeling oddly comfortable with her along his side.
