Thanks for all the reviews, and I only own Aika :-)

I'm pretty sure I woke up in a hospital of some kind. It was a small, white room with bright, fluorescent lights. The window looked out onto the Earth and space, and the entire wall that included the door was made of glass, frosted a meter down.

Multiple wires were attached to me, IV lines, heart monitors, and various other medical objects were attached to me.

"What, on, urr, spaceship?" I asked out loud, voice cracking as I sat up.

I was in a hospital gown, glasses still on my face. My conductor stick had been confiscated, and I was pretty helpless without it. I hated gymnastics, and I couldn't pack a punch, so I really had practically no hope.

I unplugged the heart monitors, deciding to leave my IV lines in as I didn't know how to do it correctly. I stood up, struggling around my duvet.

"Her hearts stopped! She-" Black Canary burst in, shouting orders before she realised I was fine.

"You're awake," she stated calmly, as a Green Lantern followed her into the room, a domino mask over his eyes.

"No kidding," I rasped, before coughing, and sitting back down on the bed.

"Careful. You've lost your voice temporarily, from all your singing. How are you feeling, Muse?" Canary sat on the end of my bed, while the Lantern moved into the corner.

I shook my hand in the air, signalling a so-so motion.

"We suppose, now we know your father is Jasper Dewhurst, you're his daughter, Aika?" The Lantern asked.

I nodded, removing my glasses.

"Aika, when did you find out about your powers?" Canary smiled. I mimicked writing on my hand, and she pulled a notebook and pen out of a draw on the opposite side of the room.

I started to write.

This morning, dad told me who he was and about my powers. I was watching the news after he went out and saw Meister attempting world domination. I'm immune to his powers, so found a conductor stick and glasses, grabbed some clothes and a necklace and went to bring him home. I would prefer it if he didn't go to prison. When he wouldn't come, I had to distract him long enough for Batman or Robin to do something. That's when I met you, and then climbed up and sang.

"What does the necklace do?" GL asked, after Canary had read out what I had written in my messy scrawl.

Nothing. It was my mother's, she always said it gave good luck. I shrugged.

"Batman's testing it for hidden technology. If he finds nothing, you can have it back," the Lantern smiled at me.

"When you met me," Canary started, "you said you would have no one to go to if your father got put on jail. Were you telling the truth?"

I nodded.

"You're seriously not thinking..." The GL asked, seemingly shocked.

"Find a Leaguer, any Leaguer, and tell them to watch her. I'm going to fond Batman and I believe you said you were going to deliver the information we gathered to Superman?" It was a rhetorical question, because Canary had already left.

GL cast a glance at me, before following her.

I stood up, rolling the stand that held my IV bags with me as I walked to the window.

The green and blue, slightly squashed sphere, that I knew to be my home planet, rotated slowly on its axis. The oceans sparkled, the sunlight reflecting off half of the planet. I smiled slightly.

"Hey!" An enthusiastic voice said behind me, a gust of wind whipping my auburn hair into my face. I turned around to face the Flash.

I waved.

"Are you mute?" Flash shook his head, popping a chip into his mouth.

I walked over to my bed, and picked up my pen and notebook.

Lost my voice.

"Oh," he mumbled, "well, I'm Flash," I shook his hand, before writing:

Aika Dewhurst, or Muse.

"Great to meet you," Flash grinned, "want a chip?" He offered the bag of salt and vinegar crisps to me. I smiled, but shook my head. I passed my hand through the air, signalling no thanks.

"Well, any idea why GL told me to watch you?"

I wrote out what Canary had told Lantern, and he nodded, reading at super speed.

"Wait, you're Muse, as in Meisters daughter?" Flash suddenly sat up straight. I nodded.

Fastest man alive, hey? I wrote, grinning widely at him.

"Well it would explain why you're here, and your voice," he pointed out. I shrugged.

"So why are you here?" Flash flopped into a chair beside the bed. Once again, I shrugged.

"Helpful," he muttered, before his communicator went off.

"Flash. Oh, hey Kid. Can't, I'm watching someone. Sure, whenever Bats or Canary gets back. See ya, Kid," he removed his red covered finger from over his ear.

Who was that? Anyone I know? I wrote.

"Kid Flash, you know him?" I nodded. I'd seen him on the news.

"Well, we're heading out for pizza buffet later," he grinned at me.

Have fun, I smiled.

He chuckled, "thanks."

"Aika?" Batman had appeared silently in the doorway, causing both Flash and I to jump slightly.

"You can have your necklace back. For the time being, Canary will train your powers as hers are the most like yours, and in combat, should you make a certain choice," Batman growled, voice low and emotionless.

"We can hand you over to a Gotham orphanage, or you can join our team of protégés."

I gaped, brown eyes wide as I stared at the Dark Knight.

You have got to be kidding me, I quickly jotted down.

"No. Make your decision."

I hovered the pen a centimetre, if that, over the paper, debating my options.

Eventually, I scribbled down one word.

Team.
