Chapter 4: Belittled (M'gann/Megan)

When the light came back five of the six members were confused. They were clearly not on earth. They could see two moons, and they seemed to be in a red desert.

"Oh no." Megan said.

"What?" Wally asked. "Are we on Mars? Cool!"

There was one person, or Martian the team figured, sitting on a rock. After getting closer they could tell it was Megan, looking how she normally looks.

"Hey look here come some more Martians." Wally said.

Three Martians approached M'gann. But these Martians looked different. They looked something sort of like a human-praying mantis hybrid. With a mostly human like body, but with a praying mantis like head and weird, blade type things coming from their elbows. And of course they were green.

"That is a Martian's natural form." Megan said.

"Hey look who it is." Martian #1 said. Since the mouth did not move everyone figured they were hearing it in their head. The voice was clearly female.

"What do you want S'ar?" M'gann asked. She sounded scared.

"Oh look girls, I almost forgot whites could talk." S'ar said.

"Yeah." the other two agreed.

"Please leave me alone." M'gann said.

"We are going to teach you your place." S'ar said. "J'an?"

One of the others stepped forward, the rest of the team presumed it was J'an. "Yes?"

"How should we do this today?" S'ar asked.

"I don't know." J'an said. "What do you think L'inn?"

"I think I know." L'inn said. She picked up a rock telepathically a flung it at M'gann. The other two joined quickly.

"Please stop." M'gann said.

"You can't tell us what to do you filthy little white." S'ar said.

"Maybe if you show your true self we will stop." L'inn said.

"True self?" Kaldur asked.

M'gann didn't do anything.

"Why not do us all a favor you filthy white, and just get out of here and never show your ugly white face again." J'an said.

"Why do they keep saying white, you look pretty green to me." Artemis said.

"They are talking about my true form." Megan said.

"Your true form?" Dick asked.

"Well, Martians are shape-shifters. We can look however we please. But there are two types of Martians. Green ones, like those three, my mom, and my uncle. They are the majority." Megan explained.

"And the other?" Dick asked.

"White Martians the minority, like me, my father, and one of my brothers." Megan said.

"And what do they normally look like?" Wally asked.

Megan took a deep breath and transformed. She turned white and grew at least a foot, and even though she had a pretty large hunch in her back she still towered over Conner. You could see some purple muscle looking material on her arms, which also grew to touch the ground.

Everyone started gasping, except for Conner, for a reason unknown. Artemis and Wally took a few steps back.

"I realized you would never accept me if you saw what I really am. I endured constant rejection, as you just saw. I couldn't face that from you guys." Megan said.

"You're wrong." Conner said.

"What?" Megan asked.

"I've known since we mind-melded in September." Conner said.

"But that was before we were a couple." Megan said.

"We don't care what you really look like Megan." He held her two finger hand and gave it a reassuring squeeze.

"A little warning would have been nice." Wally muttered, earning a smack from Dick.

Megan transformed into the form she usually held and Conner brought her in for a kiss.

Everything grew darker.

"So it is Wally or me next." Kaldur said.
