A/N: I updated this faster because I got reviews asking me to. So Read and enjoy! (And Review if you want)

(At the mountain)

Cora slowly blinked her eyes open, she was staring at a grey ceiling. She groaned, and slowly sat up, moving her hand to her forehead. She blinked her eyes again, her vision still foggy, Why in the world was her mouth so dry. A cheery voice came from the side, "Well you're finally up!" Cora turned her head, "Ellie, where in the world are we?" Ellie smirked, "Well you wouldn't believe me if I told you!" Cora rolled her eyes, "Where are we?" Ellie smiled, her eyes twinkling, "The headquarters of the sidekicks of the Justice League." A annoyed voice, clearly a boy called out, "Partners! We are the League's partners! Not sidekicks!" Ellie smirked, "Sorry Robin!" Robin dropped in from a vent, Cora lifted her eyebrow, "Sooo you were not lying…." Ellie rolled her eyes, "When have I lied to you?" Cora's voice was dull, "When you stole the freshly baked cookies my mom made." Ellie smiled, sheepishly, "Oh ya…"

The door flew open, Faith and Laila stood panting. Laila blushed, "Uhh…. We saw on the cameras that you woke up…" Faith smirked, "Laila was definitely not pestering Batman for information to why you passed out." Laila blushed harder, "Faith!" Robin smirked, "Did he say anything?" Laila frown, no pouted, "No…." A groan was heard from across the room and then a string of swears. Faith walks over, "Liz! Language!" Liz rolled her eyes, "Where the hell are we?" Ellie pops over, "A cool mountain base that the sidekick, umm partners of the League use as a base." Liz glares at her, "You're lying." Robin smirked and flipped over, "No she's not, pretty whelming right!" Liz blinks at him, "What the hell does whelming mean." A streak of yellow and red bursts in, shoving Robin to the side. Kid Flash smirks, "Never mind him, so what's your name beautiful?" Faith sighs, "We already told you her name, and I don't wanna see your failed attempts with flirting." Robin smirked, "She called you out Kid Idiot." Kid Flash ran at his friend, yelling, "Hey!" and began to fight with him. Aqualad walked in, "Friends, we should not fight in front of guests." Cora felt her face heating up at she looked at the atlantean, she struggled to keep from blushing. Ellie smirked, "Oooo…." and Faith promptly smacked her up side the head. Liz smirked and sighed, "Our little Cora is growing up" Meanwhile Aqualad stood there confused.

Aqualad took Cora aside, after offering her a large amount of water that she downed quickly. Cora smiled, still fighting down the urge to blush, "So what did you wanna talk about?" Aqualad smiled back then his face became neutral, "Batman found something interesting when he took your blood for a test." Cora yelped, "He took a blood test!" Aqualad nodded, "Yes, and something was off." Cora blinked, "What?" Aqualad continued, "You are not fully human, you are half atlantean." The brunette took a step back, "Sooooo, I'm guessing my dad was altantean, only explanation…. I never met him." Aqualad nodded, "My father was killed by Black Manta (A/N: I'm pretty sure that's what happened to his adoptive dad or did he have an adopted dad?)" Cora looked at the ground, "Oh I'm sorry." Aqualad smiled at her, "You have nothing to be sorry about, you did not know."

They were walking along the beach, both without shoes. Cora looked up at the atlantean, "So, tell me about you, and your team." Aqualad smiled, "Well my real name is Kaldur'ahm, I was raised in Atlantis and when my king was under attack of the Ocean Master, my friend Garth and I helped him. My king offered to train us as his proteges, I accepted but Garth declined, he loved Atlantis too much." Cora smiled, "So you're a big time hero in Atlantis, what about your team?" Kaldur smiled, "Robin and Kid Flash are like my little brothers, they both are kind of childish at times. Artemis is like a sister to me, Miss Martian as well. Superboy is technically the youngest out of all of us, he's a clone and he has been alive for maybe a year. There are some other young heroes that might join, Zatanna and Rocket. Red Arrow is not on the team officially, but he is my best friend on the surface." Cora's eyes twinkled in the star light, "So you're all one big family." Kaldur nodded, "Yes, why don't you tell me about yourself?" Cora smiled, "My name is Cora Poole, I live in Vermont, which is a very nice place (A/N: Praising my state….. We gave you Ben and Jerry's people!) I only live with my mom and my friends are Ellie, Faith, Laila, and Liz." Kaldur nodded, slightly smiling, "Very nice, how far is Vermont from the ocean?" Cora looked at the ground, "We're inland, you have to drive a while to reach the coast." Kaldur looked at the sky, "So you haven't had many experiences with the sea, perhaps that is why you never discovered your other half." Cora looked at him, "Maybe….. So what does being half atlantean mean for me?" Kaldur looked at her, "You need to stay hydrated, that may be why you passed out so quickly. You also can survive underwater." Cora smiled, "Well why don't we swim then?" She took off her shirt to reveal a bikini top, she blushed, "Artemis, let me borrow one, she said I might as well wear one if we were walking on the beach."

They splashed into the water, diving under and swimming around. Cora playfully asked, "Sooo, Tag?" They were chasing each other, grins plastered across their faces. Kaldur clearly enjoyed another atlantean that could keep up with him, and stay underwater as long as him. Sopping wet they headed inside, drying off with towels and heading their separate ways.

Cora walked into the temporary room she and her friends were staying in. Liz smirked, "Well looks like you had fun!" Cora blushed crazily, "What!" Ellie started singing, "Cora's got a crush! Cora's got a crush!" Cora crossed her arms, "I do not, and by the way I know now I am way better at swimming than you!" Ellie rolled her eyes, "Why?" Cora smirked, "Cause I'm half atlantean!" Ellie's jaw dropped and Cora got into bed. She drifted off to sleep, thinking of the chocolate skinned, blonde haired, atlantean. Oh she definitely had a crush.
