Hello there! I would've updated yesterday but FanFiction was being evil... Oh well. Sorry for the unpredictable chapters; I know I said I would probably only update on weekends but it's a lot easier if I do it this way, so I just update whenever I can.

This chapter has been Beta read so it should be a lot better because there has been a lot of rewriting going on. It's a lot longer than the last chapter so I hope it makes up for it!

Thanks to everyone who reviewed: lastdragonrider and Billiejoeischrist, I'm looking at you! I'm up to 12 reviews now, which really surprised me because I didn't think this story would be so popular.

Also this is my birthday chapter! Yay! I brought cake for nice reviewers! Happy Birthday to me! Sing it with me!... no? *cries in corner*

Disclaimer: I don't own Young Justice, but I do own Sakura, my OC.


Hidden Angel Chapter 4

Sakura's POV

I awoke to find myself in the corner of a small room with my hands bound behind my back, quite tightly. My wings hurt like heck because my arms were crushing them and I was leaning against the wall awkwardly.

I raked my memories as to how I got here but the last thing I could remember was Aqualad asking me about the blueprints being faulty and who I was supposed to give them to and me spelling out my answer and then everything going black.

I cursed, great, I had gotten myself trapped by the Justice League, the good guys. Which made me a bad guy, which I wasn't. I was tricking the bad guys whom I worked for... wait, does that make me a bad guy if I was working for them? I sighed.

No! The blueprints! How could I not realise? I painfully twisted my arms round to look at the sleeve where I remembered putting the camera with the blueprints. But it wasn't there; neither of my sleeves were. They had taken my sleeves off! It was the most logical thing to do but I still couldn't believe I didn't have all my beloved weapons with me, I felt so venerable. I could still defend myself easily and use my powers if I absolutely had to, but I had made all those weapons myself, so it felt like they had taken away part of me. I hadn't made the katana blade, but that was from someone precious.

Looking around the room, I found that I was in some form of containment cell or something. It wasn't like a prison, with the steel bars and whatnot, but whoever built this certainly didn't want anyone getting out.

The walls were coloured dimly, and the room wasn't lit very well, so it was pretty dark. I could make out the outline of a door on the other side of the room, but I knew it'd be locked, so I didn't bother trying to open the door. Besides, my lock-picking stuff was in my sleeves... unless...

I used the wall to slide up and stand and made my way to the metal door. I turned once I reached it so that my hand could touch the edge of the door.

I clenched my fist and punched out, the lock crumpled and the door slid open to reveal a long corridor, with the room I was in parallel to it. I poked my head out a bit and checked for any heroes or teenage equivalents. When I was certain that the coast was clear, I crept out of the room and down the hallway, pausing at each room to see if anyone was in there. Thankfully, they were all empty and I continued on undetected.

After turning a few corners and not seeing anyone, I began to grow suspicious. Surely the league HQ or wherever I was would be slightly more guarded that this. I half expected to see Superman fly down the hallways.

Turning yet another corner, I heard faint voices coming from a room a few doors away. I edged towards it and peeked in to see everyone in what looked like a living room. Robin and Kid Flash were sitting on a couch watching TV. Miss Martian was cooking something in the kitchen and Aqualad was reading a book.

The voices I heard must've come from the tv because the room was silent apart from that, the occasional turn of a page from Aqualad, and the sound of Miss Martian boiling something in the kitchen.

Noticing that there wasn't an escape door and not thinking that any of them were going to help me, since they were they ones that brought me here, I turned to leave and move on. But I walked straight into Superboy, causing me to fall back on my butt.

"Oww, that hur- mmph!" Superboy covered my mouth with his hand and pulled me away from the door slightly.

"I need to ask you something." he whispered.

I raised an eyebrow then nodded. Removing his hand, he began to speak, but instead of listening, I whirled around and ran full speed down the corridor. I looked back over my shoulder to see a stunned, wide-eyed Superboy staring at me as I raced off.

'What, did he really think that I would stand there and patiently listen to his questions about my personal life while I was trying to escape?' I thought sarcastically,

A few moments later I heard shouts and knew that Superboy had alerted the others to the fact that I had escaped. The thundering of feet behind me proved me right.

I turned corner after corner, making a mental map of the place to make sure I wasn't going in circles, but the sound of the young heroes chasing me didn't fade. I sped up and hurled myself down yet another corridor, realising that they were catching up and I was getting tired. I desperately swung round another corner to find a huge room opening up in front of me that looked something like a hangar. It was filled with all sorts of ships and aircraft belonging to various heroes, and after catching a glimpse of one with a bat insignia on it I ran even faster. There was a huge door which I guessed led outside for the ships to take off and land from which I probably could've taken off from, but if someone was to come in and see my wings they'd have just one more reason to follow me. I wove in and out of the planes and ducked behind a large purpley-red blob to catch my breath.

My pursuers came to a halt at the entrance to the room and I calmed my rapid breaths down to almost silence so that they wouldn't hear me.

"Spread out" Aqualad said, "We need to find her as soon as possible."

I couldn't hear the rest from where I was sitting, but I was pretty sure it wasn't in my favour.

Footsteps echoed off all the walls and I crept around the edge of the blob thing to get a better view. Just as I poked my head out from my hiding place, I felt a gush of wind from behind me. I snapped my head around to see that Robin had landed directly behind me, without me noticing, and was standing in a defensive position in front of me, ready to attack.

I sighed "Ugh. Now I have to fight you! I'm already wiped from all that random running around so I think it would be a lot easier for both sides here if you just gave me back all my stuff and left me alone."

I tapped my foot impatiently, but nothing happened after a few seconds. "If you won't give me my stuff, I'll just have to find it!"

I turned around and ran, leaving a silent Robin to himself, but he threw some bolas after me and they wrapped themselves around my legs, effectively making me face-plant into the cold floor.

I cursed under my breath as I tried to untangle my legs from the ropes by wriggling, but I was just getting more tangled because I couldn't use my restrained hands and I was already tired.

I looked around wildly for something to cut through the ropes with and saw a remotely sharp looking piece of metal sticking out from the edge of a nearby ship and crawled towards it backwards, which must've looked weird, because the junior heroes were giving me strange looks. I twisted my arms so that my bound hands were above my head and pulled on the scrap metal with my restrains. Realising what I was doing, Aqualad raced over, but he was too late. Using my now feed hands, I pulled sharply on one end of the rope and ripped the bindings off my legs, put my hands on the shoulders of the oncoming Superhero, and used him as a support to bound over him. However, he grabbed my hand and flipped me onto my back, hard. I groaned as I felt my head hit the ground with a thump. And then everything went black.

Wally's POV

I ran up behind the rest of the team just in time to catch the end of the fight, and see Sakura thrown to the ground by Aqualad and knocked into unconsciousness. I saw Miss Martian wince when Sakura hit the ground out of the corner of my eye.

"Dude, I missed the fight? I asked,

As Aqualad walked a few steps away from Sakura and started to make some calls Robin restrained Sakura again and my curiosity took over.

"How much of the fight did you guys see? Fill me on on the details!" I said, breaking the gloomy silence that had formed. Robin walked up behind me and answered me.

"Well basically, Sakura was hiding, we found her, she tried to run away and Aqualad made sure she couldn't."

He said it so casually that I almost fell over. 'Making sure she couldn't escape, by knocking her unconscious? Really?"

Our conversation was momentarily interrupted by the computer; "RECOGNISED: BATMAN, B02,"

"I'm sure Aqualad did what he felt was necessary." Robin said,

"It looked like it really hurt though." Said Meg'ann.

Superboy was silent.

Robin's POV

We were silent for a while, and I used this time to think. 'Was Batman really needed? For a situation involving one fourteen year old meta?'

We heard some shuffling from behind us, and turned to see that Sakura was waking up now. 'That was quick. Oh yeah, healing powers.'

She opened her eyes and looked straight over at us, her gaze uncertain, as if she wasn't sure what to think.

We all stepped towards her at the same time, and she shrunk back a little when she realised that she couldn't move. Batman had now noticed that she was awake and moved to stand slightly between us, as if he thought she would leap forward at any moment.

"What do you want from me?" she hissed. She was trying to be strong, but she couldn't hide her fear too well; her voice was wavering but she glared at us with her huge blue eyes.

"Who are you?" Batman asked flatly.

"Is that a trick question? Because I'm pretty sure you know I'm not just going to hand out my identity." she replied.

"You can either answer the question and gain some of our trust, or there's a new cell waiting for you. Don't try lying either, you'll regret it."

Seeing that there was no hope in winning the argument, she gave up quickly, which was a wise choice, because Batman is known for carrying his threats through. She sighed and said, "That's not a simple question. Could you be anymore specific?"

"Let's start with the basic stuff first, like what's your real name? You said that Sakura was a nickname someone gave you, and you avoid that question each time we ask it, so that would be helpful." said KF, edging his way around the dark knight to stand so that he could see properly, and we all joined him. We had been waiting to find out the answer to this question for ages and she finally had nowhere to go, she couldn't dodge it, she had to give us a straight answer.

"I don't really have one, it comes with the memory loss and the weird power. And I got the name Sakura from some guy in Japan; it means Cherry blossom and I think he was talking about the colour of my hair."

"You don't know who you are?" Miss Martian sounded concerned. Superboy glanced in her direction with confused eyes but then hid it by resuming his glaring at Sakura again, I still saw it though; my time in Gotham has taught me to always notice any changes in my surroundings.

"Memory loss? And power? Care to build on that?" I asked, stepping forward. "and when were you in Japan?"

"Woah, slow down with the questions!" she shrunk back from me a bit, as if to protect herself from my questions but relaxed when I stepped back. "Umm.. I only have memories since about a year ago, yes I have powers, and I can't remember why I was in Japan, it could've just been a Japanese guy saying random stuff. I don't know."

"So you cannot recall what your name is, where you're from, or any other personal details?" asked Aqualad.

"No." she said sadly "I don't even know how old I am."

"I would say you're around fourteen to fifteen. My age!" said Wally.

"How convenient." I murmured.

"Why were you in Cadmus' labs?" asked Aqualad.

Sakura's eyes darkened slightly and she looked down at the floor "The same reason I was in Deathstroke's lair; for personal reasons."

"And those reasons were..." said KF.

Sakura hesitated before continuing. "If I tell you, do you promise not to get mad?"

We all nodded, mainly because we really wanted to know what her big secret was. Batman was still listening, but he didn't nod, because we all knew that depending on her answer, he might not be able to keep that promise.

She took a deep breath to calm herself and begun.

"I was hired to carry out a mission, one of many and this one just happened to be at Cadmus, it was also a trap."

"Who hired you?" Batman demanded, in monotone, but I knew he was slightly annoyed at not being told this earlier.

She paused briefly before continuing, as if thinking about what to say, "I don't know, all requests are anonymous, but I'm pretty sure it was either the guy who turned into the blockbuster monster or one of the other scientists. Because when I got to the room that my employer told me to go to, there was an ambush waiting for me." That was a lie. I could tell that she knew who she was working for, why else would she mess with the blueprints she was going to give to them unless she had something against them?

"So what happened?" I asked, wanting her to continue. She opened her mouth to do so but Superboy beat her to it.

"She was captured and the tall geno helped her to escape." we all stared at him, including Sakura, even Batman's eyes widened slightly. "I may have been born only a few days before yesterday, but even I can piece together two pieces of a puzzle."

"How did you know that?" growled Sakura.

"Someone told me." he replied simply.

"Anyways, you were saying?" I interrupted before the conversation took a turn for the worse.

"Uh, right. Well my employer told me that the item that they wanted me to collect was in one of the deepest levels of the lab, I didn't question it because of how much they were paying me: so I knew it would be something hard to get. I went down there to find that it was one of the main hatching levels, and that the geno's burst out of their pods almost as soon as I entered, but they had to be activated to hatch, so I know someone was expecting me."

"Wait, what was the item that they wanted you to 'collect'?" Asked KF, using his fingers as quote marks as he said it.

"I honestly don't know. They gave me a code and told me it was what they wanted, I get a lot of tasks like that, so when I got there, I assumed it might've been a specific pod or geno that they wanted. But I didn't get to check, because of the geno's trying to kill me and all." she explained.

"Do you have the code they gave to you?" asked Aqualad.

"Not the original, I destroy any evidence of my missions before I set out and memorise all the necessary information, but I could still tell you the code. Do you have something I can write on?"

Batman pulled out a pen and paper from his utility belt and she scribbled down the code. She handed it back to him, and looking over his shoulder, I read it aloud "D5-1T8-B-25-C15-O11-95S. How did you remember this?"

"There's not a lot up there you know, I'm not exactly brimming with memories." she said.

"What happened to you after you were captured?" asked Kid Flash, eager to move on.

"I was knocked unconscious sometime during the fight, and I woke up in a lab, strapped to a hospital bed, and I had that collar on. There were a bunch of scientists on the other side of the room who were arguing. When they noticed that I was awake, one of the scientists came over to me and said he wanted me to do some tests and that they were just so that he knew what I could do. I wasn't stupid, I knew what their experiments would be like, and when I refused he got angry; he pressed a button and electrocuted me through the collar-"

"which was why you crushed the remote that the scientist had; you had seen it before." I finished.

"Yeah. Anyways, I couldn't move afterwards, so they just wheeled me through into another lab and started doing all these tests on me, injuring me and then forcing me to heal it so they could watch, making me run through mazes to test my mental abilities and shocking me if I stopped. One of the more serious wounds wouldn't heal because I didn't have enough energy to heal it and that was the huge one they made in my side." Her voice was shaking even more now, but she still went on, "It was horrible, but it got worse when they found out I had wings. They pulled out the feathers to see if they would be replaced and-"

"Wait, you have wings?" Kid Flash, practically exploding,

She stared at us for a moment as if forgetting something, but then it clicked. She wiped her damp eyes as best she could on her shoulder and replied, "Oh, right, I forgot you guys didn't know for a moment. Oh well, now that the cats out of the bag and I'm never gonna get it back in there again, Batman, do you mind loosening these ropes a bit? I won't run, but my wings are feeling a little cramped right now."

Batman looked at her suspiciously, and then nodded ever so slightly at me. I bent down and loosened her restraints, and although I was tempted to release her completely, I knew my mentor still didn't trust her. I leant back and took in her face, rosy red cheeks and tired eyes as the tension left her body.

Batman turned and headed off, having got all the information he needed, he nodded at me silently as he passed, leaving me in-charge of her.

"Well?" asked KF hopefully.

"Well what?" Sakura responded.

He sighed and asked the question we were all thinking, "Well, would you show us your wings?"

"What, you've never seen a set of wings before? Just look out a window, there are plenty of birds in the sky. And I'm pretty sure there are some superheroes in the Justice League that have wings too, go take a gander at theirs."

"But I wanna see yours! Plus, yours fold up, right? Or are they just invisible?" he started patting the wall above Sakuras head.

"No they aren't invisible, and no you won't see my wings, because I don't have enough room to unfold them and because I'm still tied up. By the way could you untie me now? The scary guy has left and I think we all know I'm not going anywhere. Please?" she looked at me with huge pleading eyes and I caved in without a fight, how could I fight puppy-dog eyes? I may be the Dark knights right hand, but not even I'm that cold hearted.

"Fine." I mumbled and pulled her bindings free.

She got up and rubbed her wrists and beamed at me "Thanks a whole bunch!"

"Now will you show us your wings?" asked Wally again, bouncing up and down slightly.

"No."

"Please?" this time Miss Martian had joined in with Kid Flash's pleading. Sakura looked slightly stunned before regaining her posture and folding her arms over her chest.

"No."

"Pleeeeeaaaase?" KF and Miss M asked together, like kids asking their parents to buy them candy.

"No! Stop bugging me!"

"Not until you show us your wings." KF said, poking her arm gently.

"Alright, just stop bugging me!"

"Yay!" they exclaimed together. We all stared, watching their bickering with slight amusement and curiosity; each of us wanting to see her wings too.

Wally and Megan moved backwards and Sakura looked left and right, making sure she had enough room, which she did. She rolled her shoulders and extended her wings, and they spread out behind her.

We all gasped and stood there, awestruck, staring at them. Even Superboy was wide-eyed and looked slightly mesmerised by her wings. They were pure white, but stained a faint red in places, probably from blood, and there were clearly feathers missing in patches.

She looked like an angel.

"What?" She was looking down, with red dusting her cheeks, not seeming to enjoy the extra attention. Was she blushing?

"Wow." said KF, his stunned expression still plastered over his face.

"Amazing!" Squealed Miss Martian.

"Hmph." grunted Superboy, who had snapped out of his trance like state.

"They're beautiful." said Aqualad. Sakura turned an even deeper shade of red.

"So is she..." I sighed to myself, not realising that I had said that outloud.

Wally seemed to notice though, and instead of ignoring it and letting me have my moment, he let the rest of the world know.

"Ooooo! Robin likes Sakura! Dude, you only just met and you've already got a crush on her! But she's too good for you, and besides, she's already mine." He slung an arm round Sakura's shoulder and turned her head to face him with his hand on her cheek. I felt something boil up inside me. "Isn't that right Sakura?" he said as her eyes widened and she froze, her face turning an even deeper shade of red if that was possible. "Awww, you're blushing, you look so cute when you blush!" KF teased.

Sakura shook her head and wriggled out of Wallys grip, and I felt my insides simmer down a little. She wasn't quite sure what to say at the smirking speedster and was looking slightly confused.

"What can you do?" asked Superboy, speaking for the first time in a while and breaking the tense silence.

Sakura turned to him and smiled brightly, grateful for the change in subject.

"Actually, I was incorrect earlier when I said I had powerS; I have one power which has many uses. My power is energy. I can control forms of energy, not very well though, I find it easiest to manipulate my own energy to do things like accelerate my healing rates or use it to control other forms of energy, like creating a sort of shield around parts of body so attacks do more damage. That's how I escaped my holding cell. As for the wings, I have no idea as to how they got there, they're just there." she took a deep breath when she finished.

"I didn't mean that, I meant that I was wondering if you'd like to train with me? said Superboy, "in a fight," he looked dead-serious.

We all turned to him in shock. Sure he wasn't the best at controlling his temper, but Superboy wasn't the kind of person who went around looking for a fight. Right?

Sakura's POV

"In a fight,"

I stood there for a moment, what Superboy had said was still registering in my mind and I was staring at him like a goldfish.

Would I fight him? That was an odd question to ask someone whom you've just met and barely know, and I didn't know how to reply.

'Well, I do need some practice.'

"Okay. Why not?" I answered. The teams' heads swivelled to shoot confused and 'are you out of your mind?' looks in my direction.

A flicker of a smile graced Superboy's lips for a moment, but vanished as he turned and walked away from us. Robin must've saw what he was intending and he pressed a button on a nearby control panel, opening the hangar doors for Superboy to jump out of, before he tore them open. He disappeared over the edge and a few seconds later we heard a distinct thump from somewhere underneath us as Superboy landed. I got a running start and followed him out, my wings snapping open to catch the wind and glide down to the ground below. I spotted Superboy on one side of a clearing in the forest below so I aimed for the other side. I floated down with the currents and landed on target, folding in my wings because I didn't need them for combat.

Kid Flash, Robin and Aqualad all floated to the ground with the help of Miss Martian's telekinesis to observe the fight.

"You ready?" asked Superboy.

"Anytime." I replied.

I took up a defensive stance while Superboy raised his fist and charged straight at me. I stepped out of the way, put one hand on his elbow, the other on his shoulder, and used his momentum to push him past me. His guard was terrible but that punch could've broken bones, had it hit. I focused the tiniest bit of my own energy to my palms, and used it to draw out some of his energy, weakening his punch, but Superboy was still sent flying.

The excess energy swirled around my hand and I flicked my wrist to expell it. That was a weird bit of my power, I could control energy, both my own and others, but I couldn't bring outside energy into my body, I could draw on energy to fuel an attack but I would have to use it almost immediately or it'd disperse. I thought of it as my body having a limit. But I could still use external energy to power physical attacks, and if there was a lot of energy surrounding a limb it'd become stronger and there'd be a crackling or static like sound emanating from it.

Superboy skidded to a stop on the other side of the clearing and straightened himself. He eyed my hand curiously, and I knew he'd figured out what I'd done to his blow.

We circled each-other, both of us waiting for the other to make a move, but neither of us daring. I decided to break the evil staring/glaring contest we were having and started to run towards Superboy, and he ran towards me. For a moment it looked as if we were going to have one of those 'who's-gonna-chicken-first?' moments, but then I sprung up pretty high, which surprised the clone to say the least. I flipped in midair, and as I fell towards the ground I braced my leg for what I hoped would be a strong kick.

Superboy dodged at the last moment, leaping to the side and resulting in my foot being embedded in the ground and me getting stuck because it wouldn't budge. The smirking clone emerged from a cloud of dust my landing had thrown up to see me desperately tugging at my leg.

"That was easy, I wi-" he was cut off by the sound of the crackling energy surrounding my hand as I plunged it into the ground that my foot was trapped in and I ripped a huge chunk of earth out, releasing my leg. I could feel the stares of the team on my back as I jumped back so that there was some distance between me and him.

This time it took Superboy a while to run at me and try and knock me off my feet. I let my reflexes take over momentarily and I grabbed his oncoming fist, pulled it and flung him over my head, letting go at the highest point and sending him flying. Sure, he might be going easy on me but I wasn't giving him any openings, and I was sure he'd be pretty annoyed by now.

Superboy was thrown into a tree but he quickly got up and uprooted the poor oak. Wow, I didn't think he was that mad. I felt the energy of the tree pouring out and drifting around us as it lost its source of life, the ground. I gathered the scattered energy and focused it around my fist, like I had done with my foot when I kicked Deathstroke earlier. Superboy swung the huge tree at my left and I readied my fist to receive the hit. The look on Superboys face was priceless as he saw a scrawny girl split a huge tree in half with what he thought was her bare hands.

Using his astonishment as an opening, I sprinted towards Superboy and he snapped out of his surprised state. I feigned a punch to his face, and while he dodged that I swung my leg up for a kick to the side of his head. He blocked it with his hand, because my leg wasn't coated in energy, and used his hold on my foot to swing me into a tree. I groaned and slumped to the floor, clutching my bruised arm, which had hit the tree first, and looked up at Superboy who had frozen on the spot. He was staring intently to his left, where the team was watching and I followed his gaze to see what had made him stop.

Batman, Wonder Woman, Green Arrow, the Martian Manhunter, Red Tornado, Aquaman, the Flash, Black Canary and most importantly to Superboy; Superman were all standing beside Robin and the others watching the match with mixed emotions. I knew the members of the Justice League from seeing them on TV so regularly.

I got up and, still clutching my battered arm, I scanned through the crowd of heroes. Batman was giving me a slightly suspicious look, but I was beginning to think he always gave people suspicious looks. Wonder Woman was talking quietly with Black Canary and Green arrow, but they stopped when their gaze met mine. Aquaman and The Flash looked thoughtful and yet seemed not to know what to think. Martian Manhunter and Red Tornado were just standing there emotionlessly. Superman was now having an evil glaring contest with Superboy, like I was earlier.

Batman beckoned me over and I walked towards the dark knight awkwardly. The rest of the heroes gathered around us and Superman managed to break away from his glares of evil to join us.

"How long were you all standing there?" I asked quietly.

"Long enough." replied Batman in the regular monotone.

"Long enough to see that you've obviously had a lot of experience with this, that you can clearly defend yourself, and that you'd be a good addition to the team." said Black Canary,

"What?" I asked slightly dazed,

"You have shown great potential and we believe you could be a useful asset to the Young Justice team." said Red Tornado.

"Just like that? And what if I don't want to join this 'team' of yours" I wasn't too keen on the idea of working in a group, I'm used to working solo; the only reason I accepted their help in the Cadmus labs was because I was wounded and they were there anyway, but even that was a one off.

"You don't really have a choice: it's either the team or the interrogation room with him." The Flash bent down and gestured to Batman.

I paused and thought; they had picked a good time to ask me this, right after a fight with Superboy. I was bruised, battered and really tired so there was no chance of me escaping. Well, there goes plan A so what's plan B? Join and then ditch them at the first opportunity given? Meh, I don't really have any other ideas, so I may as well.

"Fine I'll join, but how long do I have to stay? I don't want to be doing your errands forever: I have memories to look for and a life to find." I asked. If they weren't going to keep me for that long then I could use a place to stay.

"You can leave when I say you can." I sent an evil glare in the Batman's direction.

"But that won't be for ages!" I whined, pouting and letting my arms drop to my sides. "You'll never let me go!"

"The decision has been made and this topic is no longer up for discussion." Batman turned and started to walk away, the rest of the league following.

'Well that was sudden.' I thought.

I felt a hand on my shoulder and I followed the arm up to the persons face to see Robin staring back at me. The rest of his team was standing behind him and they were all giving me concerned looks.

"Are you okay?" asked Robin, removing his hand from my shoulder.

"Meh." I shrugged.

"What was that about?" asked KF.

"That? Oh it was nothing, only Batman telling me I was going to be your new teammate!" I threw my arms into the air and the team just stared at me.

"Uh, is that a bad thing?"

Miss Martian squealed and hugged me so tightly I couldn't breathe.

"Yay! Finally another girl on the team! I practically have a sister from Earth now! I'm so excited I could burst!"

I could feel myself turning blue from the lack of oxygen. "Uh, I glad you're happy and all... but... can't... breathe!" I wheezed.

"Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry! Hello Megan! Squeezing someone too hard in a hug isn't the best thing to do." she gibbered on after she released me from her iron grip and I gasped for air. I finally straightened up and looked at the rest of the now beaming team, minus Superboy, he was glaring at me. I think he maybe been slightly annoyed that we didn't finish our fight.

"Welcome to the team, we look forward to working with you." said Aqualad. He held his hand out and I shook it, and this time I didn't hesitate.

"Good to have you onboard." Robin also stuck his hand out and I shook it too.

"Yay! Now I get to spend my time with two beautiful girls!" exclaimed Kid Flash, once more slinging his arm round my shoulders and Miss Martians too. That was really starting to annoy me now. I manipulated the energy in KF's arm so that he lost the feeling in it, giving him something like pins and needles. I ducked out of his grip as his arm fell limp by his side and he stared at it. Miss Martian wriggled free on the other side as Kid Flash lifted his dead arm up and watch it fall to his side again with a blank look on his face.

"What the heck DID YOU DO TO MY ARM DUDE? I can't feel it at all!" I tried so hard not to laugh as KF ran around, clutching his arm with no feeling in it screaming madly. I failed to suppress my amusement and I burst out laughing, soon to be followed by Robin and a giggling Miss Martian, along with a not-so-expertly disguised smirk on Aqualad and Superboys' faces.

We rolled around in our laughter as KF continued to run around for a while, but, as funny as it was, all good things come to an end. I flicked my wrist in Kid Flash's direction and the extracted energy returned to its owner's limb. The speedster slowed down and eventually came to a stop, raising his arm and waving it around, and he came to a realisation.

"I can feel again!" KF bounced up and down in pure happiness before stopping and giving me an evil glare. What was that, the fifth one I've gotten today? Honestly, superheroes and their glares.

"Well if you're going to be working with us, you'll probably be living here." said Robin.

"Um... Where exactly is 'here'?" I asked. I was brought here while I unconscious, so I had no idea where I was. I looked up to see where we were earlier, and saw a huge mountain.

"This is Mt Justice, the previous and currently disused headquarters of the Justice League." answered Aqualad.

"Previous? Where's their current headquarters then?" They all gave me looks of disbelief.

"What?"

"You haven't heard of the Hall of Justice?" asked Robin.

"That's their base? The tourist trap?" I asked.

"Well, it's not really their base, it's more like we don't actually know where the real one is." replied Robin awkwardly, sheepishly putting his hand behind his head.

"You mean they haven't told you?" I asked. A gloomy aura hung over them as the team shook their heads. 'Woah, taboo subject huh?'

"Moving on, do you have anything cold, like ice? My arm's gone numb."

Normal POV

Miss Martian took Sakura inside and fussed over her for about half an hour before letting her sit on the sofa with everyone else. Despite her protests, Sakura now had a bandaged arm and a dozen plasters all over her on every small cut and scrape.

She sighed as she sat down and put her head in her hands. A friend being concerned was one thing, but Miss Martian's frantic fussing was another.

"I really don't need all of this, I do have healing powers." she told Miss Martian, but she was ignored.

"So what do you guys actually do?" asked Sakura. If she was going to be on this team, she should at least know what she'd be doing.

"Covert, re-con, the boring stuff but we normally get everything done."mainly covert, re-con, the boring stuff, but some missions are better than others." replied Robin.

He was sitting on one of the sofas opposite Sakura's armchair, and he put down the book he had been reading as he answered.

"Right, so we're the Justice Leagues errand team? All the stuff they can't be bothered to do, they leave to us." Sakura confirmed.

"She sounds like Speedy" Kid Flash murmured to Aqualad.

Robin smirked "Well, if you say it like that you can make anything sound bad."


I left it there because I was kinda lazy... and sorry that Sakura is such a bad liar, but I couldn't give out all her secrets in one chapter! Also, I wanted Robin to be suspicious yet kind of protective of her, and know she was scared of something or someone (sorry if that felt like a spoiler, but you should've figured that much out), but that didn't really work.

The next chapter wont be for a looooong time because I've only written a few lines of it, so I'm sorry in advance!

SilverxDawn was nice enough to draw a picture of Sakura for me and put it up on Deviant Art, I'm still working on my drawings of her because I can't draw hands or faces! The link is on my profile so please have a look!

Give me a nice Birthday present by reviewing!
