The massive cave in which I was standing stretched out in front of me, about the size of a two tennis courts with some of the heroes that I had seen before moving large components about the place. The centre of the room had a large metal stalagmite hanging down in the middle.
I don't know what it was meant to look like but with the heroes finishing work on the base it made me think of a anthill. The most powerfull anthill ever.
The heroes seemed to be in the final stages of work on fitting the building for habitation or I suppose refitting it for habitation as I heard the batman explain how this place had been formerly maintained as the headquarters of the league.
We had all ready been given a long tour around the facility earlier in the morning and spent most of the day so far going up and down stair ways, corridors and through rooms. After Robin and Aqualad had turned up I was worried that we were going to have to go through the whole thing again.
The place was split into three floors with the top floor containing the main hangar, the teleporter room and a few labs and training rooms. The floor below was devoted to personal rooms, me and super boy were the only ones here currently and our rooms though large took up relatively little space, there must have been about thirty rooms down there at least each with their own bathroom. The lowest level seemed to be a maze of storage rooms containing everything from canned tomatoes to grappling hooks and bizarrely a library, the lowest floor seemed to contain enough food and supplies to keep even ten wally's fed for years.
Also Aparently the base where me and my brother would be staying was apparently under a small mountain though I had yet to see it from the outside so there was little chance of neighbours stopping by.
The tour had only ended when batman had come bringing Robin and i still wasn't fully sure about all of the lower floors of the base.
"This is where you and your team will be operating out of for missions" explained the batman to the others who were listening more closely.
"Real missions" asked Robin with a look on his face, I wonder if something like this has happened before and they didn't give them proper missions.
"Yes but covert" said the batman
"There's a reason why the league has these big targets strapped to our chests" said Flash from where he stood next to wally, he had been the only league member she had gotten to know over her stay in central city and she felt she had a rough idea of his personality.
"Sweet" said wally as he high fives Aqualad who had turned up last out of them with his teacher Aquaman.
"The six of you will be able to go on the missions that the league would be unable to" explained batman.
"Wait six" said Robin catching out the number before I did, did this mean that the famous speedy wally had told me about would be turning up?
"This is miss Martian, martian man hunters niece, she'll be joining the team as well" said batman pointing to a green skinned girl who stepped out from behind her larger uncle as they stride towards them
"I'm liking this job more every minute" said wally as he stared at the girl, she was of average height and looked pretty despite her green skin, she had ginger hair which stood out in contrast to her face making her all the more striking.
"Hey I'm M,egan M,orse but you can call me megan its my earth name!" She said excitedly as she greeted us, I liked her pretty much as soon as she spoke from the happiness that came from her voice.
"I like your shirt" she said at seeing my brothers shirt.
We were both wearing matching shirts so I don't know why she had picked his as I was closer to her, he'd said something to me about wearing supermans symbol and insisted that we wear them whilst on missions. I didn't quite get why it was important to him seeing as superman hadn't even turned up to meet us since Cadmus but as it seemed to matter to him I agreed.
As I was watching I saw Megan transform her top, the colour fading out of her clothing as it turned darker until it matched with our tops.
"Cool" I said as I watched the shift in tone, "how do you do that?" I asked.
"Martian clothing, it can shift its shape to whatever I can imagine" she explained to me, did that mean it could also change shape I wondered as the others started to ask their own questions.
After that the team talked for a bit until once again we were split up as Robin left with batman and Aqualad with Aquaman. Wally left last with Flash.
"Uhm well I've got to go guys, I'll see you when we have our first mission together I guess, see you Sj, Kr" he waved us off.
As he was walking towards the teleporter I went up, grabbed him from behind and brought him into a tight hug, not too tight remembering he was only human.
"Thank you for being my first friend" I said to him as I held him in my arms.
"Your welcome" he said as I felt him try to turn around but found my hug to tight to move in.
"Come on Cassandra, time to go" says Flash from where he stood by the teleported, though I noticed he said it with a smile.
"Time to go Cassandra" I said to wally watching his face go red as I did, he lets go without saying anything before wondering off towards the portal that would take him out of the room.
"so you like wally?" Megan asked from beside me looking at wally as he and flash disappeared in a flash of light.
"Of course, he's been my first friend since I woke up" I said to her "he let me sleep over at his house and he's so nice" I explained, why do people keep asking that as if it's weird that I'm friends with him? I mean even wally's mum had asked it.
"This is just like TV" squealed Megan as she took me by the arm and lead me to a couch "so what have you two done together?"
"Well since I was born he was there and pretty much as soon as I met him he was nice to me and I've been living with him since then" I explained to her about how he'd met me at Cadmus and invited me to his home for the last three days I mean that must prove we were friends right!
"That's so ... dramatic so he's your childhood friend and now you've even lived with him, this is just like tv" she smiled for a second before grabbing my hands and between hers "have you told him how you feel?" She asked staring at me with a massive grin on her face.
I thought back over the last few days and what I'd said to wally, I mean I had thanked him a lot and said I was happy to be his friend but had I said it clearly enough? I wasn't quite sure how obvious I should be about how much I valued his friendship.
Aparently me biting my lip was all it took for megan to sense I was worried about it because she quickly tightened her grip on my hands.
"Don't worry, I know just how this is meant to go, I mean it's clear he likes you back so you just need to fully explain your feelings" she said before going on about how "this was just like a TV show she had watched."
"I haven't really been out with people much since I was born" I said to the girl slightly caught up in her enthusiasm as she chatted about her favourite show.
"wait so does that mean you don't know about high school and all the social rules your meant to follow?" Asked Megan with a slightly shocked look on her face.
"not really, I mean I've only been in the real world for like three days in my whole life" I explained to her trying to understand just what she was talking about, I remember wally talking about high school but I didn't remember anything about social rules or something like that.
"so you don't know about cheer leading or social cliques or bullying or .. Boyfriends" she said seeming to hesitate on the last word for a second, she seemed to be finding my ignorance of the world around me as a cause for excitement instead of for a problem.
"not a clue" I said honestly with a smile, caught up in the rush which in she was saying things.
"I will be your teacher" she rushed out as though she was afraid if she didn't say it quickly then she'd never get the chance despite the fact that it was just us in the whole cave, well except for superboy some where, who knows where he'd wandered off to.
"uhh" I murmured a little suprised by her sudden statement.
"I mean if you want me to" she paused "teach you about Earth that is, I know all about it from tv" she said hastily explaining, waving her hands like she was worried about me refusing her offer.
"I'd like that" I said with a smile to her, I mean whatever I remembered in my head wasn't at all like superboy who had told me had been give. Loads of implanted memories and knowledge I just had a faint memory about stuff.
"I can tell we're going to be friends" said Megan with a smile as she took my hands again.
