No! I am not dead, I was just sick and lazy - sue me. Anywho, this chapter is really short, but – shrugs – what can you do? Oh, and did anyone see the new YJ episodes? (Of course you did ^.^) And am I the ONLY one who does NOT like the Zatanna/Robin pairing? Then again, I am a little possessive…..

Kida had organized the files alphabetically, numerically, by file size, and file type. She had rearranged the fonts and sizes, then started the long process of fixing every grammar mistake she could find. As she scrolled through her iPhone looking for the ideal Broadway album to play, she came across a text from Ariel.

Please don't kill me.

What. The. Fuck. Did. She. Do?

Kida glanced at the floor, a shadow's sudden movement distracted her from a response. She frowned, her thumb pressing the touch screen nervously. The shadow grew until it separated. The figure was obviously wearing a cape and had a mask with two points that extended beyond its head. She turned around, not believing what she saw.

"I need to get inside."

"Uh- I don't think I can-," Batman's eyes narrowed, "right through the doubles doors, to your left, past the unknown soldier memorial, up the stairs, the second door on the right….Have a nice day!"

Kida stared as the imposing figure walked by. She felt like crying, she was going to be in so much trouble when Hannah found out.

"This has nothing to do with you!"

"On the contrary, the justice league found one of your scientists in an abandoned warehouse."

The entire FOX team had gathered outside the office. News that they had been compromised had alarmed even the more professional members. Kida was incredibly uncomfortable, especially when several agents looked her way.

What if they thought it was her fault?

What if they all hated her?

Kida fiddled with the bottom of her grey vest - she was always like this. Every time something went wrong or could go wrong, even if there was only the slightest chance it could go wrong, she would start freaking out.

Her eyes flickered across the door. She could make out the shadows moving behind the filmed plastic.

Suddenly the buzz of gossip that had surrounded Kida lifted, instead, it was replaced by a shocked silence. Kida's mouth dropped open. She stared at the man who had entered the room. He made his way to the office.

"I'll ask you again. W-"

"That will be enough Batman, my daughter is not the one in charge, I am."

Sargent Archer.

Ariel was so fired.

"Father-"

"Let me handle this Hannah."

There was a long, tension filled silence, before Capitan Archer walked out.

The silence remained as the crowd took in her appearance. It was unlike anything they had seen before. Her auburn hair, usually in a neat bun, was frizzing at the sides. Her eyes were glazed and her cheeks a slight pink colour – she was flustered.

And embarrassed.

Humiliated.

"Well?" She snapped, "quit your gawking and get lost. Everything's under control."

The many spectators seemed to trickle away, all of them forced into submission by Hannah's glare.

Kida's brown eyes locked with Hannah's dark green ones. She wanted to say something to her role model – comfort her somehow. She attempted a small smile, but Hannah shook her head a little and turned away.

Kida looked on sadly as her Capitan walked away shamefully – she wanted to say something, but the proper words wouldn't come.

She bit her lip for a second, wondering what she could do.

Her eyes narrowed.

Oh that's right, she had a certain friend to talk to.

Wally hadn't realized just how oblivious Ariel could be. Here she was, not five feet from him, talking to him and yet – she still didn't know who he was. His costume wasn't that good, was it? Surely a change of clothing wasn't all it took to deceive his friend?

Judging by her actions - it was. She had tried to escape six times in the last hour, every time she would fall short at the door. It wouldn't recognize her id, not allowing her to leave. Wally was considering just letting her go again, just to see what she would do.

But Batman would be pissed. Along with everyone else.

Wally sighed, why did he have to watch Ariel?

Besides, he was getting hungry. Couldn't he go grab a few snacks – or a dozen – and come back? She wasn't going anywhere soon.

"Recognized - B01 – Robin"

Finally, Wally thought, looking up excitedly, Robin could take his place and he could do something worthwhile. What he would do was unimportant, the fact that he was free was-

"Kaldur is coming with another member, we have to watch her as well." Robin glanced at Ariel, but looked away quickly. "Does she know?"

"Dude, she still thinks she can escape, there's no way she's going to find out."

Robin sighed, "this is going to complicate things."

"Recognized – B02 – Aqua lad"

Wally's eyes widened at the familiar figure beside Kaldur. The girl was shorter than average with shoulder length, black hair and brown eyes.

Robin grimaced, he shouldn't have been surprised.

"I'm leaving, Robin, Kid Flash, the others will be here soon to help you."

Kaldur turned and exited once more.

There was a moment of silence before anyone spoke.

"Hi?" Ariel raised her hand slightly in a half hearted wave. She braced for the string of abuse she would no doubt receive from her uptight friend.

But the voice she heard wasn't as pissed off as she expected, no, on the contrary, her expression was one of shock.

Kida stared at the two part time justice leaguers with a dazed look on her face.

"Dick? Wally?"

The two boys tensed up.

"Why are you wearing spandex?"

"…"

There was a pregnant pause – no one in the room knowing exactly what to say. The silence was quickly filled with Ariel's laughter, loud and uncontrolled, as she recognized her friends.

"Aha- Wally," she sputtered, "D-Dick," before bursting out in laughter again.

So, short, I know. Next chapter will get more into the other two Oc's AND continue this one. It's going to be a lot longer, so it'll be a another long wait. SORRY!

And seriously, do any of you NOT like the Zatanna/Robin pairing? I want to know!
