AUTHOR'S NOTE: Hi! Here's another chapter. I'm trying to develop the characters better so if you have a suggestion to better my writing feel free to tell me.
Disclaimer: I do not own either Young Justice or Next Avengers or Katara (from ATLA) and Zia (Kane Chronicles) but I do own ANNA WEST, Miguel Reyes, Robin Drake (Cassie and Tim's kid), and Megan Kent. :D
Megan wiped her eyes. She was in room, sitting on her bed.
'My father didn't abandon me! He didn't. Did he? No!' she thought, "Anna was just being mean.'
Taking a deep breath Megan composed herself and shifted through her mother's memories. A picture slowly formed in her mind, and her powers helped her replay the first time her mother had met her father. Megan smiled childishly. She went through all the memories with her dad. 'No,' she decided, 'He would not have willingly abandoned me.'
Delving farther into the memories she found one where her mother's powers had damaged someone's brain beyond repair. She frowned. Then she sat straight up.
'I almost did that to ANNA,' she thought with horror. Anna, who was hardly a meta at all! All she had were her speed powers of course, but nothing and nobody to teach her how to use them. Ashamed she curled into a little ball. Even if Anna had been horribly mean, nobody, whoever they were, should ever have to live like that. Except… she slowly uncurled, except perhaps Ultron.
With a sigh Megan looked around her room. The pink and purple walls shone in bright contrast against the large s-shield sign on the wall. A collection of fairytales was on her bed dresser. The lavender covers on her bed were hardly visible beneath all the teddy bears. The teddy bears were dressed in various super hero costumes. In the other corner there was a small sewing machine and a whole bunch of sewing materiel. Just as she was about to tuck herself in and take a nap the alarm sounded. Megan's eyes widened, and she bolted from the room.

Miguel and Katara's room were close by each other so they headed in the same direction but before they parted his suit morphed back into the beetle on his back; he ran up to Katara and asked, "Did Anna really mean she doesn't like us?"
"What?" Katara asked, surprised that Miguel was still dwelling on that. Her heart softened at the sight of Miguel's sad expression. Bending down to his level she placed hand on his shoulder, "No, she was just angry at Zia. Actually she loves us so much she is afraid we'll die."
"Well, then," reasoned Miguel, "we will have to do our ¡mejor! to not die."
He grinned at Katara and smiled back at him, "Yes, I suppose we will have to do our best not to die." Then just as Miguel had suited up again so as to fly into his room, a loud sound emitted from every which direction. Shocked, both of them froze for a second before running/flying to where they had last seen Damien.

Robin was sitting on his ceiling (Author's Note: Remember he can fly. ) His room was right next to Anna's. He could hear her talking to Damien. With a frown he glanced at the room. There was nothing special about it. Swooping over to his desk he grabbed a large notebook. Opening it as he sat down on the bean bag that was pushed up against the wall he scanned through the writing. His father's journal. Lots of stuff on fighting techniques and of course Wonder Girl. His mother. Come to think of it there was almost as much stuff on her as there was on fighting. According to Damien, that was really something. Robin sighed. He was pretty sure he was named Robin because of his dad's super hero name. Scratch that he was absolutely sure of it. Grunting he placed the book back on the desk. He heard a loud noise.
'The alarm,' he thought, 'Oh joy. Another training exercise.'
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Zia was furious. She was seething. She was definition of angry. She was boiling. She was ready to kill something.
''Woh erad ehs!?" Zia shouted. A white magical aura surrounded her hands as she punched a hole through her wall.
'Why would she even suggest something like that?' Zia wondered, 'I am her best friend! Why would she not want to spend time with us? She doesn't trust us to stay alive? She thinks we're all gonna die?!"
'Ehs t'nseod tsurt su ot yats evila?' *punch* 'T'nseod tnaw ot dneps emit htiw su!' *punch*
A sizable dent was displayed on her wall when she heard the alarm. Fear gripped her heart and the magical aura disappeared from her hands as she fled in the direction of Lian and Damien.
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Damien's eyes widened (Author's Note: Which looked weird because of his mask). Lian froze. Miguel flew around.
"What are these lights? And that noise?" he asked in a panicked voice.
Katara, Zia, Anna, Megan, and Robin turned to Damien and Lian. They unfroze.
"Everyone get in Anna's room NOW." Damien ordered forcefully.
"But…" Katara began.
"Go now!" Damien said.
The others all ran into Anna's room. Lian sprinted off in another direction. Anna lingered outside her bedroom door.
"Damien, what's…" she started.
Damien looked her in the eye and said, "Get in now," before running off in the same direction as Lian.
Anna turned around and entered her room, shutting the door behind her. She flipped a switch and all the safety protocols turned on. The others were sprawled out on the floor, bed and desk, or in Robin's case, sitting on the ceiling.
"What do you thinks happening?" asked Katara, casting worried glances at the doors and windows.
"Maybe it's a ¡monstruo!," said Miguel, then he gasped and dove under Anna's covers. "Maybe… maybe it is Ultron?"
"Miguel," Katara corrected, "You don't ever get on a bed that's made."
"Don't be ridiculous," scoffed Robin, "It's not Ultron. There's no way he could find us in the middle of nothing."
"Well," Anna said with a smirk, as she typed away on her computer, "Technically speaking, it would be easier to find us in the middle of nothing because we are something, but I agree with Robin. It's not Ultron."
Suddenly, something blasted through the window in a swirl of wind. All the children got into fighting stances. An odd looking robot flew in through the window. A harsh breeze swept in with it.
"Hello. Children." It said before it collapsed on the ground in front of them.
"EEEEEEEK," shrieked Megan.
"AHHHHHHH!" cried Miguel as he leapt up and dove behind Anna's bed.
Damien and Lian were running up to the room.
"Red Tornado? Are you hurt?" questioned Lian frantically as Damien began to help the robot up.
"Hello. Lian. Damien. Yes. Slightly. And. How. Odd. This. Doesn't. Look. Like. The. Control. Room."
Damien and Lian started carrying the robot out of the room and in the other direction.
"Damien? Lian?" asked Zia uncertainly.
"Look," said Lian as she struggled under the weight of Red Tornado, "We know you have lots of questions, but please wait. You'll get your answers. Just... stay here."
And Damien, Lian, and the robot disappeared into the forest, memorial, and training room section of the safe house.
"We're following them," declared Anna as she grabbed a bag and stuffed her laptop, some books, notes, and food. Collecting all her weapons she turned to them and said, "Go get anything important to you. We don't know if they're taking that thing out of the safe house."
"Out of the safe house?" squeaked Miguel, "But we're not supposed to leave ¡aquÍ!"
"Who cares," said Robin before flying out to get his stuff. When the others had all gotten the stuff most important to themselves they headed in the same direction that Damien and Lian had headed in.
Author's Note: Again if there's actually anyone reading this, I hope you enjoyed it. The next chapter should be up in a week or so. :D
