Hi hi~ You guys can just call me Julia now that 4evablackrose exposed me (Thanks a lot, you Flying Blue Monkey! :P) Man, I'm on a roll with the chapters, huh? This makes, like, 3 within 2 weeks! That's impressive for me! Just so you all know, I'm going to recap with the other 2 squads before going into finding Starfire. At least you guys get more BB Raven and Cyborg! I wasn't even planning on having them anywhere else! It's midnight, and I'm gonna write as much as I can before catching X-men Evolution and Whose Line Is It Anyway! Yay! So, I got like 20 mins. Aaaaand, GO!
Real quick, I just got a PM that says I should credit Kiseki-tan for "The pumpkin has ugly feet". Nobody guessed that . But yeah, Kiseki-tan writes awesome vocaloid fanfiction with awesome scene transitions! Also, 'holy crudscones' is from… well, I think I'll give that one longer for people to guess. *evil grin*
Disclaimer: Do any of you honestly think I own DC? Good, aaaaand, GO!
Jump City, muffins! :3
Artemis sighed as Robin cut off the telepathic signal and she was left alone again. Well, not entirely alone. She had Kaldur. And that… thing. The thing named Wally. Who thought that he was a total chick magnet! And constantly flirted with Megan! And for whatever reason, he just hated her the minute he saw her! Didn't even get a chance to say anything before he rejected her! He was selfish, flirtatious, rude, noisy, messy, never paid any attention during missions, AND—
"Uh, Artemis, you alright?" Wally asked as he saw the archer's face go slightly red.
She defended her pride, "Yes! Of course I'm all right! It's not like I was… It's not like I… Oh, I'm fine, you got that Baywatch?"
Wally looked a bit taken aback by her fiery response to such a simple question. Before he could retort to her rude remark, Kaldur, as usual, stepped in between the two.
"Stop fighting and focus. Robin sounds like he has a way to find the girl, but that doesn't mean our job is done yet. Let's try to find out as much as we can about this attack."
Wally grinned goofily, "Well, it was a hot chick!" Artemis slapped him at that.
"Well," Artemis contemplated, "it looks like she was just throwing stuff around. Including the cars. Meaning that she most likely has super strength." She turned to Aqualad, "Are there any camera sources for the attack?"
Wally decided to answer the question, "Obviously not, because otherwise it'd be all over Youtube. All the news choppers got was the green fireball hitting ground."
Kaldur deduced, "So we should try to find a witness, perhaps?" He turned to his teammates for opinions. They both nodded since they didn't really have any better ideas.
~~~El Feo Taco~~~
Rachel Roth reluctantly released the door of her room and regretted her resolve. (A/N: Alliterations ftw :3. I don't even care that it didn't make sense.) Standing in front of her apartment door were three weirdoes; one who was black with… white hair(?), another tall with red hair and freckles, and a girl with a really messy ponytail and the most irritated look Rachel had ever seen in someone who had just shown up at her door.
"…What?" Rachel was not in the mood for this. But, she had to admit, the redhead was kinda cute… (A/N: aaaaaah! Comic book reference! :3)
The black guy held out a hand apologetically and said, "My apologies. I believe you are Miss Rachel Roth?" It sounded more like a statement than a question to Rachel.
She hissed, "Look, if you're just another bunch of losers here to ask us about that stupid alien girl attack, my friends and I are not. Interested. What. So. Ever."
The black guy gave her another apologetic look and, avoiding the subject, said, "My name is Kaldur. This is Wally, and this is Artemis. We would very much appreciate being able to talk to you."
Rachel almost facepalmed. What did this Kaldur guy not get about what she said? "Again, nobody wants—"
"Rachel, are you scaring guests away again?" A large black teenager, Victor Stone, Kaldur assumed, walked up to his friend. "Sorry bout Rae, ya'll. She can be a little anti-social sometimes."
"Oh, no problem!" Wally beamed, "My friends and I just wanted to ask you guys a little about the alien attack!"
Victor didn't look too happy about that, but still attempted to be nice, "Well, I wouldn't really… I guess if it's okay with Gar, then…"
"More interviewers? SWEET! You lucky folks get to hear my epic tale of awesomeness and aliens!" a smaller, blonde teen, Garfield Logan, poked his head in conservation range and invited the Young Justice Members inside.
Rachel rolled her eyes at Victor, "Really? That was your criteria?"
~~~¡Scoop boop shoobity doop!~~~
Superboy eventually popped all the bubbles on the bubble wrap, and was left once again bored out of his skull. He looked over to his 'partner'. He phrased it in air quotes because Conner didn't really feel like he was doing any work. But they are assigned partners, without the air quotes, so, attempting to fill the boredom, Superboy decided to check up on Robin.
"Found anything yet?" he asked in an uninterested tone.
"No!" Robin responded, sounding even more irritated than when he didn't have the heat-seeker plan, "I've covered most of the city, too! Unless the alien left the city… oh my god WHAT IF SHE LEFT THE CITY! Ugh, it would take hours to find her and she'd be constantly moving as well! Argh!"
"Well," said Conner, "you said you covered most of the city." He put a hand on the boy's shoulder and leaned down to get a look at the holographic screen, "Keep looking around. I'll try to… help you, I guess. What do the colors mean?"
Robin didn't honestly think that Superboy could help him, but he was willing to at least answer the question, "The colors are the different temperatures. See how most people are orange and yellowish? That's because they have body heat. Everyone does. I suspect that if she's from another planet, the alien will have a different body temperature, so as to adapt to a colder or warmer environment on her home planet. So, if a person has more red or green or blue on them, that means it could be who we're looking for. Got it?"
Superboy nodded despite getting lost after 'yellowish'. But he thought he got the gist of it. As Robin searched the alleyways, Superboy noticed one barely noticeable piece of red poking out of a storage unit. "Uh, Robin?" he asked.
"What is it now, Supey?"
"Is that…" he pointed to the red speck, "… what we're looking for?"
Robin did a double take. It certainly wasn't the temperature of a human, and unless it was some stove or microwave left turned on for no reason in an old abandoned SAM storage unit… aw no, that's ridiculous, it had to be the girl!
"We found her!"
~~~Voldemort's soul lies in a veggie straw~~~
Gar was seriously starting to get on Wally's nerves. He could tell just by listening to his version of the story that it was totally exaggerated.
"… And then after I came back to the present day, I went on an awesome date with Jennifer Lopez and we lived happily ever after. The end," Gar finished proudly.
Jennifer must've dumped him for Gar to still be here, still annoying me and telling false stories and horrible jokes, Rachel thought while clenching her teeth.
"Well, Gar, that means Jennifer must've dumped you for you to be here telling us false stories and horrible jokes," said Artemis.
Rachel stared at the blonde, impressed. Maybe… she couldn't put her finger on it, but Rachel felt like they were… sincere and, maybe they weren't just another bunch of losers looking for the 'kids who saw the hot alien babe'.
Rachel cleared her throat as the visitors turned to face her. "Um," Rachel started awkwardly, "If you all want to hear the real story, I can, um, help, uh, maybe."
She tells the story. C'mon, you should all know it by now! I'll recap. Green fireball hits Vic's convertible. Alien comes out of green flaming convertible. Alien attempts to attack Rachel and Co. Alien misses. Alien throws cars and bashes into objects to remove handcuffs. Alien fails. Police arrive and are pwned by Alien. Alien flees. This sounds like I'm narrating a Pokemon battle.
"…And that's basically what happened," said Rachel.
"So," Kaldur said, "what we can deduce from this is that she did have super strength. And it sounds like she was attempting to remove her handcuffs, judging by all the bashing into heavy objects."
"Yeah…" Artemis added, "It doesn't seem like she was deliberately trying to cause damage. But what was up with her eyes? The glowing?"
Rachel shrugged, "I have no clue. Probably a reason why she was wearing building-resistant handcuffs."
Kaldur nodded, "Well, thank you for your time and the information, Miss Rachel."
Rachel waved her hand, "Nah, just call me Rachel. Or Rae. 'Miss' makes me sound old, and I'm probably younger than you. See ya, then." And she closed the door.
…
"Well that was a waste of time!" Wally exclaimed, "We already knew most of that stuff!"
"Not necessarily," Kaldur explained, "We are now aware of the girl's motives, which could prove useful when Robin, Superboy or Miss Martian find her."
"Or when we find her," Artemis cut in, "Look over there."
Running out from an alleyway was a young couple, panting and looking frankly scared out of their minds. "It's the alien!" shouted the man, "Run for your bloody lives!" (A/N: No, he's not bloody British, I just needed emphasis. Nor am I British. Actually, I take that back but I'm so many ethnicities I just call myself a mutt.)
The three Young Justice members just stared at the couple for a few moments before immediately turning to the telepathic link.
"We found her!"
"I found her!" M'gann's voice came through.
"We found her!" Robin's and Superboy's voices soon followed.
"It seems we have all located the girl." Kaldur 'said'. "Meet at her location before she can escape."
~~~Alien used Flash! Wally fainted!~~~
At Aqualad's command, Megan floated out of her ship, and, trying to be as inconspicuous (A/N: In your face, Spell-Check! Who needs you!) as possible, flew to the location of the girl's thoughts. It was then that something occurred to her.
"Wait!"
"What?" Superboy asked impatiently.
"Batman said this was an observe-and-report mission, remember?"
"Aw, come on, Megan!" Wally whined, "We didn't find out anything new, and we already know where the chick is so why not?"
"Because Batman'll have our heads for this! Well, my head," Robin answered.
"Won't be the first time," Artemis made a good point.
By the time Artemis had 'said' what she had to say, Megan already found herself face to face of a sleeping red-headed alien girl. And three of her teammates.
As the four of them heard the familiar snicker of their youngest teammate, Robin and Superboy ran into the scene as well.
"Well, here goes nothing," Robin whispered. He crept up on the sleeping girl and carefully placed a miniscule tracking device on her back. Just as he backed away, her eyes shot open and flashed a brilliant green.
The Young Justice team leaped back and took fighting stances. They were prepared for an attack but all the girl did was sit up. She attempted to stand but was immediately grounded.
"X'hal," she gasped.
Robin realized that she was too weak to fight and proceeded to make his way towards her. Maybe he could…
"Robin, dude, what are you doing!" Wally cried.
Robin ignored his best friend and started talking to the girl as he took small steps. She growled at him from her current position leaning on the crate. "Easy now… I don't want to hurt you… We don't want to hurt you. See, I can prove it."
He took out one of his lock-picker-inators (A/N: I don't give a darn, darn you!) and started working on her cuffs. The girl flinched a bit but let him handle her hands. Robin's teammates just stared at him in awe.
As Robin finished unlocking the handcuffs, he noticed the alien searching his face over, obviously seeing if he could be trusted. Once the handcuffs fell to the ground, she felt her wrists, as if it were an illusion that she were free.
"See?" Robin said with a smile, "You can trust—"
Robin didn't have time to finish his sentence, for the girl had pulled him into a full, on the lips, kiss. It was Robin's first, in fact. But he only had a second to realize it before she pulled away and pushed him to the ground.
"If you wish to not be destroyed, you will leave me alone!" she said in English.
With those few words, she fired a green bolt out of her hands at the teenagers and flew away.
After the dust settled, everyone was at a loss for words. Except for Wally, of course.
"How come you got to kiss the hot chick?"
Facepalm. Longlongloooooooong chapter. Written poorly, as well. Though I suppose nobody pays attention to that, do they? Dear god, that was long! Took me a long time to write. I finished this 2 days after I watched Whose Line and XME. 4evablackrose and I had… hold up, why does spell check think 4evablackrose is a word! That makes no sense! And what, Superboy isn't! The hell, man! Anyway, the monkey and I had a YJ marathon with our friends where we watched all ten episodes. It was fun.
Visit my deviantart! I'm still Morumotto-chi! Just search it, I put it as a keyword.
Today's question: If I were to exaggerate one particular pairing in this story, what would you prefer? And I mean canon pairings. You can't say WallyxRobin or anything like that, I mean Supermartian, Spitfire, or even ArtemisxKaldur. Robin's taken in this particular fanfic, sorry gals.
Review meeeee! Reviews help me breathe! They give me inner streeeeeeength!
See, there's a pretty blue button right below! I wonder what it does! I dare you to push it! You know you want to! Go on!
