Blair's POV
I was buzzing, not even this stupid headache was going to bring me down, my friends were coming to the watchtower! Ahh, I'm so excited! I'm missing my friends so much. I hum as I walk into the common room, in search of a snack from the small kitchenette. Oooh cookies.
My friends would be getting here in about 5 minutes so I made my way to the zeta station to pick them up, my mom was our supervisor today. God if feel like a child, I'm constantly being watched, I know they're all paranoid because they're superheroes, but seriously I felt like a caged animal in a zoo always being watched, like I'm on display.
They all think I'm this crazy foreigner who doesn't have any limits, I walk around semi naked, sneak into the gym when no one is around, pranks league member's with other league teenagers. Let's not forget the fact I'm the illegitimate daughter of 2 league members who was kept secret for seventeen years. Because that's not something the gossip loving leaguers (AKA the flash, green arrow, booster gold and the lanterns.) Would about love to tell everyone. Note the sarcasm.
I stand by the zeta ports waiting for my team to arrive, I tapped my foot in anticipation, waiting for the tubes to light up and announce 'F0 whatever.'
"F06 Princess Vercingétorix, F04 Agent Krasmir, F05 Agent Zoraid, F07 Agent Theron."
A small body tackles me, "Blair!"
"(Mila. Hey kiddo.)" I say hugging her, picking her up and twizzling her around.
"(Hey guys!)" I say waving holding Mila on one hip.
"(My turn.)" Kent exclaims, before I can react he jumps on to me. We all fall to the ground in heap.
"(B, come on I know it's been two weeks, but seriously how can you forget to catch me? I catch you all the time, especially when you're boy decides to throw you through the air for me to catch you.)"
"(You came up with that magic man.)"
"(Guys, are you just going to sit there like weirdoes or are you going to get up?)" Kate asks
"(Depends are you two lovebirds planning on joining the three of us?)"I ask Kate and Tate
"(No, I don't like floors.)"Kate says wrinkling her nose.
"(You and Tate didn't seem to mind them last week when you-)"
"(Um, child in the room, a child you are currently sitting on I might add.)"Tate adds in.
"(oh crap, Mils you alright?)" Kent asks
"(Yep, just being squished like a bug on a windshield by your butt.)" she responds
"(It irks me how intelligent you are sometimes.)" Kent says.
She sticks her tongue out at the man twice her age, she's a tough little kid.
"Artemis!" She says excitedly scampering up and running over to my mom as soon as Kent gets off her.
"(Hi princess.)"
"(Aunt Arty, where are we?)" She asks looking out of the window.
"(Uh… Hey B wanna take this?)"
"(We're in space, my mom dragged me up here when I got hurt a few weeks ago.)"I say without hesitation.
"(Well when are you coming home, I'm still going to able to see you guys again, right?)" She says doe eyes wide.
"(Definitely. I promise, I'll always come home.)" I tell her.
"(Good, can we go eat food, it's lunch time and I want to have space food.)" She says
"(Its not like- yep, you know what let's go get some space food.)"
My friends snicker from behind me as I struggle to some up with the words to explain everything, I discreetly flick up a middle finger behind me as I lead Emilia to the cafeteria my mom follows.
Artemis' POV
Emilia had crashed out on the sofa of the common room after being disappointed that the space food wasn't actually space food we'd watched a movie. The team hadn't come to watchtower today it's a school day so they won't be here for a few hours.
"(Anyone else got a headache?)" Kate asks suddenly
"(Maybe a little.)"
"(Yeah.)"
"(Ehh kinda.)"
"(No.)" I respond
They all look at each other, "(Back of the head?)"
"(Yeah.)" They all respond, they look at each other communicating with just their eyes
This is freaky, but they don't look surprised.
"(What is it?)" I ask.
"(It's not important.)" Blair says sharply, I think it came across sharper than intended.
"(I think it might be.)"
"(It's not.)" She insists.
I don't push it, when she gets like this it's just not worth the argument that ensues. Well I wasn't going to push until the four people in front of me start screaming and clutching their heads. It's quite possibly the scariest thing I've ever seen. They're all completely in sync with each other, it's like something out of a horror movie.
They need help, "Help! Can we get some help down here?" I shout out.
"Artemis, what's happened?" Kaldur comes in, he sees the teenagers writhing around on the floor screaming in pain. His eyes widen, "We need to get them to the med bay." He says, "I'll call the league doctors."
Everything happens in a blur, the three are rushed to the med bay, they're unconscious Dr midnight says it's some sort of psychic link, Miss Martian says she can't get in whoever it is, they're powerful. Now all we do is wait, Emilia is still asleep, I'll take her back home when she wakes up. I'll explain what's going on to the Queen when I take Emilia home.
My phone starts to ring snapping me away from my plans.
"Hey babe, It's me Uh, I'm going to go see my mom and dad, I'll be back late, you want me to get anything for you and B?"
"Wally, Blair's- actually you know what um I'm fine thank you, I'll see you later?"
"Alright, I'll see you later then. Are sure you're okay?"
"Yeah, fine." I lie "Bye, I'll see you later."
"Bye beautiful." I hang up the phone.
"Why'd you lie to Wally Artemis, if you don't mind me asking?" Kaldur asks me.
"I don't actually know, I guess I've had to deal with everything Blair for the last 17 years, Kal, I've never had to consult with anyone about how to raise my child, I never needed to share the responsibility of taking care of her, I just did it. " My voice cracks a little and I'm tearing up, I don't know why "But now, everything's different, and I love that he's back. I just, I don't know, and Kaldur that scares me, I don't have control over anything anymore, everything just seems to be spinning out of control."
Kaldur hugs me, we spent months together under sea, and years as friends before then, he's like the brother I never had; all the boys on the original team are, except Wally because that would be some kind of weird twisted incest.
"It will be okay. Just like it was 17 years ago when you disappeared, only to rebuild yourself as a strong single mother, who raised a wonderful and headstrong young woman in a country, she'd never been too, far away from all her friends and family. Artemis, the courage that must have taken is phenomenal. Let us remind you that you don't always need to be strong on your own, you can lean on us, it is not a weakness to ask for help, I thought you knew that."
"Kaldur, I do. I just, It's my family now, it's mine and although it's little, it's something I made out of love, something I never thought I'd get. Kaldur I have both of them now, it's going to take some adjustment for all of us to be a family, but I believe it can work, if only Blair would stop getting herself hurt and actually talk to her dad. When did it all get so complicated?"
"I am not quite sure. Maybe when we all became a team."
A/N: I own nothing DC or CN owns. Sorry if you found this chapter boring, next chapter will be a bit more interesting, well I think it'll be interesting, hopefully you will too. Sorry if Kaldur was off I wasn't too sure on how to write him. Bye duckies ILY. As per the usual comment on any mistakes you can see, I've not been very well recently so there might be a few or just review if you like this book.
