Annemarie was curled up in his arms as he patiently waited for someone. Conner sat and waited for Megan, whom he'd called to help her. He looked down at the small girl, only to realize she was fast asleep. The kid had a rough day. Conner looked around only to be greeted by a smiling teen.
Megan had changed her skin tone so she didn't stick out. She walked over to him and said, "Conner? Who's the little girl?"
"Megan…this is Annemarie," Conner said. "I've decided to take her home with me. I was wondering if you'd be able to help me."
"Conner…" Megan said. "That's sweet, but what about Superman and the others? I'm not entirely sure Batman will allow us to have a four-year old on the premises."
"I'll make it work…" he said. "Please Meg?"
Meg…he'd never called her that before. She saw the way he looked at Annemarie and suddenly she couldn't say no.
"All right Conner," she said. "I'll help you with Annemarie…and I'll help you deal with anything else that comes along with it."
"How do you think the team will react?" he asked her.
"Well, Robin might be a tad skeptical, Wally will probably enjoy her company, Kaldur would probably be okay with it, Red Tornado couldn't care less, and Black Canary might have a slight issue," Megan guessed.
She put a hand on Conner's shoulder. She smiled at him and said, "Why don't we get back to the mountain? Better to face them now then later."
Conner nodded and followed Megan as the two began their walk back to Mt. Justice.
Conner walked into the living room, where Wally and Robin were sitting.
"Budge over," Conner said to Wally.
Wally scooted over, allowing him to set Annemarie down. Wally looked at the little girl and back at Conner.
"Who's the kid?"
"Annemarie…my sister."
"HUH?" Robin said snapping to look at them. "No way."
"Well not really…but you know what I mean," Conner said irritated.
Wally smiled when the little girl sat up and rubbed her eyes. She looked at Wally and Wally grinned at her. God she had big eyes. Illegally big eyes that melted his heart. Wally looked at her and said, "What's your name little lady?"
"Annemarie."
"Well it's nice to meet you Annemarie," Wally said. "I'm Wally."
Annemarie climbed onto Wally's lap and asked, "Whatcha doin?"
"Watching TV, wanna watch kiddo?" Wally asked. "I'm sure Rob here won't mind, will you Robin?"
The Boy Wonder sighed and shook his head. Nah, he didn't mind doing it for the kid. He sat cross legged, and looked up at Annemarie. She scooted off of Wally's lap and climbed into Robin's. She looked at him with her big hazel eyes. He smiled and ruffled her hair.
"Quail was right about you," he said. "Your superpower is your adorableness and charm."
Conner relaxed visibly, and Megan went to go make some cookies, or whatever recipe she could find. Conner sat next to Wally on the couch, Robin was on the floor with Anne in his lap. Kaldur walked into the room to see this sight.
"What's going on?" he asked. "Who's the little lady?"
"This is Annemarie," Conner said proudly.
Annemarie waved from her spot. Kaldur smiled and waved back.
"She's Quail's niece right?" he asked Robin.
"Yeah…Leo's sister," Robin replied.
Kaldur sat with them and watched TV before asking, "Does Black Canary know she's here?"
"No…" Conner started.
"But it's probably safer for her here than out there. After all the kid needs someone to watch after her," Wally interjected. "Canary isn't as heartless as she may seem."
Kaldur nodded but admonished Wally.
"You shouldn't call Canary heartless. It's rude."
"Whateves Kal," Wally said.
Annemarie rested her head against Robin's shoulder and fell asleep again. Conner smiled at the sight. They were getting along perfectly! And Robin didn't seem to care at all, so that made things a little better. He was worried that Robin would call her a distraction, or an annoyance, but he hadn't.
The boys sat there and continued to watch TV until they heard….
"WHAT ON EARTH?"
