Chapter 5! This story has gotten pretty popular! I'm glad people like this story as much as they did on quizilla! Please enjoy this next chapter and have fun seeing Lantress and Luna's interactions.
Luna settled her things into her room at Mount Justice with ease. She didn't have much that she wanted to put there, already having a home with Wonder Woman somewhere else, but it made apparent sense to Lantress to do so.
She was placing a journal in the drawer of her desk when Lantress flew in. Luna shut the drawer quickly.
"Luna! Check it out! The others are here!" Lantress, known as Kyra in the civilian world, grinned before flying out as quickly as she came in.
Luna took her time in changing into "Callie", slipping on large oval sunglasses, putting on a simple sky blue v-neck, jeans, and light purple Converse tennis shoes. She strolled out in her stoic manner to find the scent of burnt food greeting her. After a quick beeline to the kitchen, she found that Miss Martian, calling herself Megan on Earth, had tried baking cookies and burned them to a rather impressive crisp.
"Well, look who decided to join us." Robin turned, leaning against the counter cockily.
"You're worse than Kyra." Callie commented, passing him by and standing by said girl.
"Hey! I embrace that, thank you very much!" Kyra stuck her tongue out at her friend, wearing a red tank top, denim jacket, black jeans, and bright red Converse shoes. Her hair was in its usual spiked fashion that was close to Alice Cullen's in "Twilight".
"Oh! I know something we can do while we wait for a mission!" Megan piped up.
She flew up into the air, soaring out of the kitchen and to the bay for aircraft, leaving the others puzzled as they followed her slowly. When they reached the bay area, they found Megan standing by a large red pod of sorts.
"This is my bio ship, it's what I came to Earth in!" Miss Martian piped up as they approached.
"Er, cute, but it doesn't look like much of a ship." Wally commented, pointing at it.
Megan giggled. "That's because it's in sleep mode silly! I'll wake it."
She passed her hand over the ship and in a matter of seconds, the pod expanded with wings and an elongated front cockpit, becoming big enough for several people. The back opened up and the team's martian member ushered them in as she led the way.
"Pft, there's something you don't see every day." Kyra commented blandly, unimpressed with the third girl member of the team.
"You are only saying that because you and Megan have been rivaling over Superboy since the day you first met, which was a week ago." Callie recounted for her with the smallest amused smile.
"Shhhh! Hey! Remember? Superboy has frickin' super hearing!" Lantress shushed her, but Luna couldn't help but notice the distinct pink blush dusted across the girl's cheeks.
"I'm merely stating the truth, you do know that I am correct."
Kyra made a face at her as they filed into the cockpit area and sat in the seats that morphed out of the floor. Robin sat down in one and exclaimed with unexpected surprise at the ship strapping himself in for him.
"Interesting." Callie commented as she calmly sat, allowing the ship to do the same for her. "How very convenient."
"Oh please, don't act like that didn't freak you out! Even just a little!" Dick turned to face her.
"Not at all. I do not get frightened over such trivial things like you do."
Dick turned red and turned around, ignoring her for the time being. Callie's cellphone blipped in her jeans pocket. She pulled it out to discover a text from Kyra, who sat on the opposite side of the ship.
"U were talkin about me and Superboy; wat about u and DG? ;D" The text said.
Luna glanced over at her friend with a questioning look before sliding the keyboard open and typing back quickly: "I haven't the faintest clue what you are talking about."
She watched Kyra receive the text and give her a "You-Can't-Be-Serious!" look before texting back.
"U cant hide it 4ever~! I will find out~! ;D" Was the reply.
"Where were we in our conversation about you and Superboy?" Was Callie's blunt, smart-aleck reply back.
"xP" was the face Kyra sent back as her reply.
Luna looked over to see her blushing and bashful friend not as spunky as she was about five seconds beforehand. She gave a quiet amused chuckle.
Superboy's ears perked up at the sound and he turned to face her. Callie gave him a small knowing smile and discreetly gestured towards Lantress.
"Talk with her." she mouthed.
He seemed hesitant, but she persuaded him otherwise and he got Megan to move his chair by Lantress'.
The ride seemed peaceful. Luna could pick up little conversations here and there as it went on; Miss Martian talking with Aqualad and Robin about apparently angering Superboy earlier by telepathically speaking to all of them (when Luna was not present), then Aqualad talking with Superboy about how to apologize, then Lantress talking happily with Superboy. Somehow all of the conversations involved Superboy.
'He has become quite the center of attention lately. The clone of Superman and the talk of the superheroes.' Luna contemplated in her head. 'He will need guidance, but Superman seems afraid. I suppose I could-' Her thoughts were disrupted by Miss Martian giving a demonstration of her morphing abilities.
She changed into a (convincing) female version of Robin, turning so the rest of them could see, then transforming into a female version of Kid Flash.
"Would it be wrong for me to say that I think I look hot?" Wally was practically drooling at the sight of Miss Martian in that form.
As she took her seat back in the controller's spot, Robin applauded her with a smirk. "That's awesome, but it'll be hard to believe you're us when you're female."
"It's more difficult for me to transform into the opposite gender." Megan admitted sheepishly.
The conversation probably would've continued on, but Red Tornado's robotic voice came in over the communications of the ship.
"Red Tornado to Miss Martian, an emergency alert has been triggered at the Happy Harbor Power Plant. I suggest you investigate, covertly. I am sending coordinates." he told them.
"Received. Adjusting course." Megan turned the ship towards the power plant.
Robin scoffed. "Tornado's keeping us busy again."
"Is it not better than doing nothing?" Luna questioned.
"It's worse." he shot right back.
"Well, a simple fire led you to Superboy, we should find out what caused the alert." Miss Martian reasoned, starting to land the ship (currently in camouflage mode) by the plant.
Superboy looked over out the window. "I think I know the cause."
The others all looked out in the same direction, and saw a small tornado whirring itself toward them. Megan went to take control, but the ship got sucked into the tornado and jarred it out of camouflage mode. The ship twisted around uncontrollably as they all clutched onto the inside of the ship with cries. Luna and Miss Martian took the initiative. Callie unstrapped herself and created a curving ice landing pad while Megan took the controls and veered the ship onto it.
The ship slid down the ice and halted to a stop. The team dropped down from the cockpit to the ground, watching the tornado circle around the power plant.
"Robin? Are tornadoes common to New England?" Aqualad questioned loudly over the winds from the tornado.
There was no reply from the Boy Wonder.
"Robin?"
That telltale laugh echoed around the area and Luna could feel the slight urge to yell out in annoyance.
"He was just here!" Megan exclaimed in surprise.
"That's the Boy Wonder for ya!" Kyra laughed.
"Let's go in after him then." Callie said plainly, before jumping out of the group and into the fray of they power plant.
Please review! Much love! xoxo!
