Lungs of Steel Chapter 2: Split Personality, a young justice fanfic

I know that it's been a while guys. I'm sorry, but I was super busy this past week, but I promise to keep up from now on. So I will be working on this and Mommy Bats? for now. Bloodshot is on hiatus for now.

Still in shock as Red Arrow left the stage, the League didn't say a word. It took them all a while to realize what exactly had happened. Green Arrow was the first to make a move, taking his protege into open arms and saying, "When did you...nevermind. That was amazing, son." His reply was a grunted, "Thanks, Ollie." The rest of the congratulations came one at a time from everyone else in the League and, needless to say, Red Arrow was quite overwhelmed. No one was supposed to even know he could sing. 'Damn boy's choir!'

The Team, especially Kid Flash, very ecstatic over his performance. "You were fantastic, my friend," said Aqualad warmly. "That...was...AWESOME!" shouted Kid Flash. "Who knew?" Said Artemis sarcastically. He replied with a scowl, but was interrupted from his remark by Lenora' voice. "Alright guys! Let's see who are next victi...I mean performer is!"

Laughter escaped the crowd, and the League decided that Lenora was very, very good at this. Hell, she could probably host Dr. Phil and make it as interesting as SNL. "Dear god, if she calls my name," Robin couldn't even finish his sentence before he noticed his sister walking up to the stage. Caira hopped up with ease and slid over to her mother before pulling on her sleeve childishly. "Can I go next?" Lenora looked down at her and with a nervous smile asked, "You sure, hun?" Caira nodded excitedly.

Standing with the rest of the League, Adam, Adelle, and Robin looked at each other. "Since when did she get over her stage fright?" Adam questioned his siblings, wondering if he had missed a huge step in his baby sister's life. "I don't know, but if she's gonna do it, she must really want to," replied Robin. "Okay, so we've got her back right?" Adelle looked over at her brothers. "You two have got her back," replied Robin, "I don't know if I'm even going to be able to get up there myself."

"So here we go boys and girls. It is my honor to present to you the one and only Lioness!" There was no one on stage as the audience applauded, and the heroes turned to one another and askes, "Who's Lioness?" Music began to play, drawing everyone's attention back to the stage where Caira stepped out of the curtain to the beat of the song. Her civies outfit had changed to a mature looking tan body suit with cutouts on the shoulders, sleeves and pant legs, and black ankle boots, mask and gloves accompanied the costume. She strode out to the middle of the stage with her tail swinging side to side and ears protruding from her loose hair.

Batman's jaw dropped in shock as did her siblings. Lenora couldn't help but be proud. 'She's channeling her inner jungle cat! Finally!'

Caira, well Lioness, began to sing, and suddenly the cute, air-headed cat girl the Team knew was gone. In her place was a sultry, mature songstress.

"It's been said and done
Every beautiful thought's been already sung
And I guess right now here's another one
So your melody will play on and on, with best of 'em"

With this she jumped down from the stage and began walking through the rows of children, slowly making her way to the heroes. When she had reached them, she snaked her fingers around Red Arrow's wrist and with unknown strength, dragged him closer to the stage as she continued singing.

"You are beautiful, like a dream come alive, incredible
A centerfold miracle, lyrical
You've saved my life again
And I want you to know baby"

She reached out and playfully slid her finger down his chest as he stared at her unbelievably.

"I, I love you like a love song, baby
I, I love you like a love song, baby
I, I love you like a love song, baby
And I keep hittin' re-peat-peat-peat-peat-peat"

Lioness began to act out the rest of the song, only to cause more embarrassment for Red Arrow. She seemed to be enjoying herself quite nicely as she kept dancing around his frozen form.

"Constantly, boy you played through my mind like a symphony
There's no way to describe what you do to me
You just do to me, what you do
And it feels like I've been rescued
I've been set free
I am hyptonized by your destiny
You are magical, lyrical, beautiful
You are...I want you to know baby

I, I love you like a love song, baby
I, I love you like a love song, baby
I, I love you like a love song, baby
And I keep hittin' re-peat-peat-peat-peat-peat
I, I love you like a love song, baby
I, I love you like a love song, baby
I, I love you like a love song, baby
And I keep hittin' re-peat-peat-peat-peat-peat

No one compares
You stand alone, to every record I own
Music to my heart that's what you are
A song that goes on and on

As Lioness finished, she turned to him and with a chaste peck on the cheek, dashed off stage and into her civies again. Not one of the civilians even realized her and Lioness were even the same person. She winked at Roy when she was standing back with her siblings and he had to wonder how she had gotten there so quickly. He barely had enough time to notice the Dark Knight's shadow looming over him. Batman's hand gripped his shoulder tightly as he whispered to him, "Roy, I think we need to have a little talk."

Caira looked at the shocked expressions of her friends. She giggled nervously, "Oops?"

At some point I will post a picture of my OCs on my deviantart. LuecineLatrans at .com/
