And we all know that I don't own Young Justice or anything close to it cause otherwise Nightwing would be my personal butler and I would get to see him every day!

As soon as I stepped in the strange jet looking thing the door behind me closed and I could hear the rumble of the engines starting back up again.
The inside of the ship was weird, almost alien looking! There were only four seats, not even the whole hero team could sit. In the middle of the ship sat the martian, we locked eyes and I glared at her. In the back of my mind the moment where she killed me kept replaying and replaying.
I could feel myself getting angrier and angrier. Again I felt something inside me snap, but no power or energy flowed through me, just rage.
Snarling I lept at her, but I was held back by Nightwing. She smirked at me and this time the smallest trace of power trickled into my system. I tilted my head up and her own shadow came to life and stood before her.
Her face paled and she pushed herself back into her chair, afraid. The power left me as quickly as it came and as soon as the shadow melted back to the ground my entire body became weak and I fell to the ground.
Gritting my teeth I tried to push myself back up to my feet but it was like my legs just couldn't move. I could feel them their but they refused to move. It was humiliating, especially in front of heroes, I now looked weak willed.
Nightwing reached down and picked me up, then he unlocked the handcuffs and slung me into one of the chairs. It hurt, a lot, but I understood why he did it. I had scared his pansy of a teammate.
I put my hands on the armrests and all of a sudden restraints grew out of them and cuffed my hands to the chair and leg restraints grew out of the floor.
I let out a small strangled scream when my head was restrained to the back of the chair as well. "That may be a little too much M'gann.."
Even I could hear the warning in Nightwing's voice. Slowly the head cuff unstrapped its self from my cranium and I popped my neck to make sure it was still movable.
"Even on the enemies ship huh?" I looked over to Bella and smiled, "For old times sake!" she laughed and turned back around in her prison seat as well. All of the rest of my team had been seated and chained to their chairs.
Somehow more chairs had grown out of the hull of the ship, letting the heroes sit down. After a couple more minutes of I don't know what we were finally airborne.
I tried my best to get settled and leaned back in my chair and closed my eyes. I hadn't slept in two days and now I planned on catching up on all the hours I had missed.
What felt like a few minutes, but was probably more like an hour later I was rudely awakened. And by rudely awakened I mean someone shaking me so hard my mask almost fell off.
My eyes opened slowly to see Beast boy staring me right in the eyes. Screaming I reeled back, after I got over the shock I glared at him and tried desperately to get out of my cuffs. He looked at them for a second then he looked back up at me and smiled.
"I knew Megan forgot something!" Then he turned and ran off. I sat there, blinking in silence until he came running back a few minutes later, the martian in tow. She glared at me, but with a flick of her wrist my leg and arm restraints came off and instead turned into handcuffs and leg cuffs.
Her eyes glowed yellow and I was lifted off the seat, hovering instead over the ground. She moved me in front of her and I began to descend down the steps of the plane.
Their aircraft hanger was huge! It had several different types of little planes, and even a boat or two. I was moved towards some hanger doors and once I got close to them, they opened up.
"B-05 Miss Martian, B-19 Beast Boy" A animated voice spoke from somewhere and I glanced around quickly, but there were no speakers in sight.
I was in some type of hallway, but it was metal all the way around, like the training room. There were eight doors, each one metal and had bars covering the small windows, holding cells I guess. They would ship us off the Belle Reve after this I guess. Damn, and I had just gotten used to being free.
I moved moved over to one of the cell things, the door opened, and I was unceremoniously shoved in.
as soon as I hit the ground the cuffs came off and I spun around and threw myself at the door. Unfornutatly it slammed in my face. I reached up and grabbed the bars, then I started to shake them. Screaming I slid down the door and curled into a ball in the corner.
The entire room was flooded with light, so I had no shadows to control or transport with. I was trapped. Maybe an hour later the door swung open, almost hitting me in the process.
I decided to take the chance and flung myself at the opening, but a black boot kicked me out of the way. I scooted back and quickly flipped up and got into a fighting position, but I quickly dropped it and sat back down when I saw who it was... Batman.
I mean there was no use to even trying, he could have killed me with just his pinky.
I got into the Lotus position and started breathing deeply, if I was gonna be interrogated by him I would need to be calm and devoid of all emotion. The door opened once again and this time I heard the scraping of metal along the floor.
Guessing from the sound it made.. probably a chair. I meditated for I don't know how long. Finally I opened my eyes and sat cross legged and looked up at him.
"What is it that you would like to know young grasshopper?" I wanted to smile but I focused on keeping a straight face.
He glared at me, and that was enough to make me want too cry. The man scared the shit out of me.
"Who are you?" those three simple words broke whatever barrier I was trying to hold up.
"I'm!" I stopped myself from spilling out whatever secrets I was about to unfold. I threw my hand over my mouth and bit down so hard on my lip I drew blood.
His glare intensified and he leaned forward, "Who are you."
I ducked my head down and put my hands over my ears, " I cant hear you!"
I felt the vibrations in the floor go crazy from where he was, but I didn't look up, pressing my hands over my ears I started crying. I didn't want to die, I was too young! I hand t done nearly everything I had wanted to do yet!
I hadn't had my first kiss! I hadn't rode an alpaca! I hadn't sky dived! Oh the humanity!
My hands were pried away from my ears, my first reaction? I shrieked as loudly and as shrilly as I could.
Batman's hand clamped over my mouth, I did what anyone else would have done.. I bit it.
It did nothing, and when I glanced up, he looked more amused than frightened. Scowling, even though he couldn't see it, I tried to look away, but he forced me to keep my eyes on his mask.
I was freaking out.
I tried to kick at his legs, but he pushed down on the area right under my knee cap, making me lose all feeling in both of my legs.
Again I tried to scream, but it was muffled by his glove.
"Who are you."
I couldn't take it anymore! Somewhere deep inside my brain I pushed the self destruct button, and the world around me faded into darkness.
Four hours later
When I woke up my entire body felt like it had gone through the meat grinder. I stiffly stood up and walked over to a small metal cot in the corner. As far as I could tell I was still in my cell, which meant that I was most likely being watched.
Slowly I took off my domino mask, it didn't matter that much anyways, there was nothing covering my eyes when I had it on.
Slowly I got into the Lotus position and began to meditate, keeping my mind blank and my breathing clam. I was just about to enter my zen state when I felt something enter my mind.
It felt like an unwelcome house guest, strange and foreign. I pushed at it, I didn't want it in and it wasn't staying. But it just pushed back, much stronger than my own mind. The person controlling it was obviously a telepathic.
Soon I could feel it start burrowing into my mind, it was looking for something.. my identity! My mind picked up a metaphorical baseball bat and whacked whoever it was on the back. The presence quickly retreated, and my eyes in the physical world were thrown open.
I was on the ground, and in the fetal position. My throat hurt really bad, had I been screaming?
I uncurled myself and crawled back onto the bed, what had just happened?
Again I felt something enter my brain, but this time it hurt, and it seemed to send daggers into my spinal cord.
"GET OUT OF MY HEAD!" Screaming I felt my powers activate, but with no shadows, there was no outlet for my rage.
I threw my hands forward and sent a blast of black fire out and into one of the walls. It smashed into it, breaking it upon impact.
The connection inside my brain broke, and my head was once again my own. I grabbed my mask and stumbled towards the opening in the wall.
Unfortunately the hero patrol was already there. Snarling I swung my foot at Birdy's face, but he caught it easily and tossed me to the ground. I tried to flip back up, but my head spun and stars danced before my eyes.
I crumpled to the ground, holding my head in my hands I started to calm down. I just wanted the rest of my team back! I wanted to go home!
"Hurry up and fix the wall, and make sure to tell J'onn not to try and go into her mind any more.. shes to unstable.." I glanced up at Birdy.
"So I'm unstable now.. Wow how much more amazing can I get huh?" Birdy glared at me, obviously he couldn't take a joke very well.
"That wasn't J'onn the last time.." I looked at the new kid talking, Blue Beetle I think. "That was Megan.."
I glared at the floor, of course it was the little scum. Ugh she got on my nerves so bad!
"Someone has to stand guard while the other goes and gets a mechanic or something."
As fast as I could I stood up waving my hand in the air I answered,"I vote Birdy!" I waved at him then smiled at Beetle boy.
"She's not that weird, No! I said no OK?" I raised an eyebrow at him.
"Should I be worried that your talking to yourself?" He gave me this little pout/glare thing then he looked over to Robin.
"I'm faster than you are, I'll go for help. Just don't let her escape OK amigo?" Birdy's eyes got real big.
"No! Blue don't leave me with her!" He tried to grab on to his little armor thing but 'Blue' flew off.
He looked back at me and glared, "Give me back my staff."
I laughed and walked over to my cot, "It always comes back to that doesn't it Birdy?"
I could sense that he was getting mad, but I didn't really care. "Stop calling me that!"
I smirked at him, "What Birdy? Does that bother you Birdy?" he closed his eyes, not the smartest move in the world, but when I stood up, he held up his hand.
Opening his eyes he looked at me, "Stay." I gave him my best puppy dog eyes then I sat down back on the cot.
Slowly I got into the Lotus position and prepared to meditate.
"Why do you always do that?" I cracked my right eye open, the one closest to him.
"Because it helps me stay calm." I closed my eyes again and slowed my breathing down. I could hear his footsteps coming closer, I just needed to wait until the best moment to strike opened up.
Once he sounded about ten feet away I leaped up and swung my foot toward him. To my surprise he caught it and twisted me around.
He reached forward and grabbed my utility belt, the proceeded to yank it off.
"Hey!" Yelling I lept up and rushed at him, but it was to late. He pulled out his bo-staff, then he ran back towards the opening of the wall. He tossed my belt behind him and uncollapsed his staff to its normal size.
He got into his fighting position and held the staff out in front of him. I paused then jumped forward and tried to duck under it like last time. Unfortunately he had learned and he hit me hard in my stomach.
I stumbled back, but I ran forward once again, but whatever punch or kick I tried to throw was quickly blocked by his staff. I could hear people coming and I really didn't want to have to stay here, so I threw myself under his legs and snatched my belt from behind him. I turned around only to find his now electric bo at my throat.
I held up my hands, then I reached into my pocket of my belt and threw water onto his hands, thank you Iggy!
Screaming he dropped the bo-staff clutching his now burned hands. I pouted at him, "Sorry Birdy!" I flipped up and kissed him quickly on the cheek, "See you soon!"
I ran as fast as I could down the hall, now if I was keeping criminals locked up where would I keep them.. far away from each other that's for sure.
I turned down yet another hallway when I ran into what seemed like a wall. Upon further inspection I saw that it was really Nightwing.
I scrambled onto my feet and tried to hurry back the way I came, but I could hear others coming from that way to.
I was trapped.
"Nice Birdy.." I put my hands out in front of me and tried to edge my way around him.
"Aw but I thought that was my nickname!" I spun around and saw Robin melt out of the shadows.
"B- but your hands.." I looked at them, he was holding the staff with complete ease, it looked like he hadn't been hurt at all!
Smirking he held up the pair of gloves he had been wearing, "Its called shock."
I glared at him,"I hate bats.." He smiled at me, "And they hate you!"
I swung around just in time to see Nighty jump at me, I was just barely able to sidestep him when my feet were taken out from under me by Birdys staff. I fell and he quickly sat on me, restraining my hands to the ground while Nighty cuffed my feet together.
"You know I might have enjoyed this if I wasn't going back to that hell-hole of a cell..." I pouted when he got up and quickly let Nightwing cuff my hands.
"Hurry up and get her friends, send them to Destin Reformatory, there might be a chance for them." I glared at Nighty.
"They are not leaving without me!" I hopped up close to his face, then I got on my tiptoes so we were eye level, "If they leave, you can expect me to be out of here by morning."
We had a short stare off, but his glare was almost as scary as Batman's, plus he was cute so I was probably blushing...
I backed off and tried to steady myself from falling over. "So do we have a deal?"
He glared at me, "I don't make deals with criminals.." Then he turned and walked away.
Birdy walked in front of me, "C'mon." he grabbed my arms and slung me over his shoulder, facing forward.
"You do know that this allows me to talk to you more easily right?" he glanced at me for a second.
"Its better than hearing you talk about my ass the entire way back."
I smiled at him, "Well you do have a nice ass." As I grinned at him and rested my head on my hands, not the most comfortable position but it was better than nothing that's for sure.
We finally reached a doorway, but when it opened I discovered we were in the jet hanger once again.
"What I don't even get to say goodbye?" He pulled me off his shoulder and slung me down to the ground. I grabbed his belt and quickly steadied myself. Smiling I let go of his belt and turned around, if I was leaving I wanted to still have some dignity.
Kneeling down I looked at the key hole for the handcuffs. Child's play, I pulled a lock pick out from my sleeve and picked the lock to my feet cuffs. I quickly stood up and roundhouse kicked towards his face. It didn't hit him so I'm assuming he jumped back.
When I made a full 180 he was crouched down and his bo-staff was out. Smiling I ran at him, then I jumped up and swung my foot down at his face. He dodged to the side then hit my knee with his staff.
I landed on on leg, I could feel the other one throbbing. "That hurt Birdy!" I jumped forward and kicked high at his chin, but he easily dodged it and hit me in the back. I stumbled forward and spun around, by now I could feel my wig coming loose, not a good sign.
I flipped up and swung my foot down, then I spun around and kicked out with my other foot, hoping to confuse him. I managed to get one kick in, yay for me!
"Score one for Domino! Yay!" He quickly swung at me, but I slid down into the splits then rolled to the side. I rolled backwards, then I pushed myself up. But my wig got caught in my jacket, pulling it off.
His eyes widened, "Dannielle Granger?" I pouted at him.
"You say that like its a bad thing!" I stepped forward and tried to kick him while he was studded but he easily sidestepped me then hit me over the head with the butt of the staff.
I fell to the ground, my head hitting hard on the metal floor. My vision blurred and I blinked rapidly to try and clear it.
"Hey Nightwing... I found something you might want to take a look at. Its about the girl." I rolled over so I was facing him.
"Oh so now I'm 'The Girl' huh. Listen if your trying to impress me its not working!" He got up and started walking away. I tried to roll over but found that I couldn't. "Ah C'mon!"
I pounded my head against the floor, but that just succeeded in giving me a major headache.
A few minutes later I heard footsteps coming back into the room. I looked up, but all I could see was shoes. "Having second thoughts about leaving me alone Birdy?"
A pair of hands yanked me up and I looked into the smug face of Beetle boy and Beasty. I rolled my eyes, "Oh its you two.. well your not to bad I guess..."
they led me back through the hanger door and towards a new part of their hideout I had never seen before.
And standing in the middle of it were my favorite two people in the entire world, Xander and Bella.
Screaming in joy I shrugged off the two heroes and did a handstand, then I walked on my hands the entire way over to them.
Once there I flipped back to my feet, but I had to grab onto them to keep from falling over. "You guys are still here! And your safe!" I hugged them the best I could then I looked at each of their faces.
A nasty bruise was blossoming under Bella's eye, and Xander had several cuts on his face, but then again he had just fought for the first time of his life so it was to be expected.
I leaned close to their ears, "Did y'all tell them anything?" I gave them both serious looks. Smiling they both shook their heads no. But I saw something in their eyes that said otherwise.
I pulled away from them a little, "What did you say?" They shared a glance, "What did you say!"
Bella broke first,"My name! I was so scared! Batman said that you guys had already given up everything! I was so scared!" She closed her eyes and started sobbing. Xander nodded.
"I did the same.. I'm so sorry!" I just looked away, I couldn't believe it. But that was probably why they were only going to a Reformatory. Slowly I pushed myself off of them and stood on my one good leg.
"See you guys in prison.." Bella's eyes got real big, then fresh tears started to stream out of her eyes.
"Danni no!" She tried to grab me but the other heroes grabbed both her and Xander.
I locked eyes with the hacker, "Take care of her you got it?" He nodded then let himself be led away.
Once they were out of sight I felt my heart break into about a million pieces, the last two people that I loved being towed away. I would probably never see them again. But there was one last place that I could go, home.
I looked up at the rest of the pep squad, "I'm out of here!"
All of them lept at me but I stepped into the shadow nearest to me and thought of home. I felt something inside me snap and raw power flowed through me. My vision faded, and when it came back, I was in an alleyway.
With a large brick wall looming in front of me.
A dead end.
