Hey guys! I wasn't so happy writing this chapter :( and maybe its because out of everyone, Kaldur is kinda last on my favorite character list :P But I'll try to make the rest better! I still hope you guys like it though! Thank you guys so so much for the reviews, favorites and alerts! :D
Sorry for any grammar and spelling mistakes in advance! I may edit it in the future. Also, I don't own YJ of DC comics okay? :(
Sorry it it all seems rushed too.. cause as I mentioned before, Kaldur's not my favorite. Sorry Kaldur Fangirls, but I'm team Robin :D
The bright light shone blindingly in Robin and Kaldurs eyes before it consumed them and brought on the darkness. The next moment, they slowly blinked their eyes open and found their teammates staring at them from above, their faces plastered with worry.
Wally sighed in relief as he helped his best friend sit up. "Phew. Rob, you alright?"
Robin grunted but slowly stood up, so did Kaldur who was beside him.
'Whe-where are we?" asked the boy wonder as he slowly took note of his surroundings. The team was trapped in a square room, with no windows or doors. Its walls a pure white colour and there weren't any furniture either.
"We're not sure." Spoke the young Martian "But we do know that it was caused by that amulet the knight left behind. We were all sitting on the couch, when Wally's pocket started glowing. The last thing I could remember was seeing a bright light, then we ended up here."
"That's right, the amulet Kid dumb here just had to pick up." Artemis huffed, obviously annoyed.
"Hey! How was I supposed to know what it was gonna do?"
"Well, usually people don't go picking up stuff left by supervillians!"
"Enough." Kaldur ordered in his leader tone, but somehow managed to sound polite. "Fighting will do us no good in our current situation. We need to find out where we are, and a way to escape."
"Ermm.. guys?" The team turned towards Conner. "What's that?" The clone asked curiously.
The team stared wide eyed as they finally saw what Conner was talking about. At the other side of the room, floated 5 bubble-like spheres. As they got closer, they noticed that each bubble flashed different images.
An underwater kingdom, a city with strange red buildings, a normal living room, a circus tent, and finally an Alice in wonderland poster.
Before the team could move any further, the first bubble began to float towards them and popped. Immediately, the room changed to that of an undersea kingdom.
Kaldur's human teammates held their breaths at first, but slowly adjusted themselves when they found out they could breathe.
"Kaldur, is this caused by your magic?" asked a surprised Megan. To which Kaldur shook his head.
"No, M'gann. None of my magic enables land dwellers to breathe underwater. Also.. I am curious of how we ended up in Atlantis." He finished, gazing at the city made of coral.
Suddenly, the image of the kingdom blurred out, sort of like a broken television, before it was replaced by another image, this time of a cave. Kaldur moved back as the sense of familiarity hit him, alerting his team.
"What's wrong, Kaldur? Robin asked confused.
"This cave. I haven't seen this cave in a very long time. The last time. Was when I was only a small boy."
"Then maybe what we're seeing is an illusion?" the bird questioned. "A dream? Or.. maybe a memory?"
Kaldur thought about it a little before nodding back.
"Maybe, but if so.. then I know what is about to happen next." Kaldur sighed, a frown deepening on his face.
The team stood confused at first, but got pulled away from their thoughts as they heard loud, sinister laughter. The heroes turned towards the entrance of the cave, and out came.. Black Manta. Behind him was a shivering little boy, who looked remarkably a lot like Kaldur. His face however, was bruised, as if he had just been slapped.
"You worthless son!" The villain snapped. "I raised you to become as great as I, but what do you do? You betray me!"
The boy squinted his eyes as his 'father' stabbed him with a knife. He clenched his side in pain and attempted to swim away.
"It's bad to kill, you say? Well, I shall teach you very important lesson." Black manta called out to his half-dead son. "If you don't learn kill others, one day you yourself will be killed."
The image fizzed again and this time the team only saw the young boy. Swimming to who knows where, just desperately trying to find some help. A swishing sound was heard, and the team watched as two electric eels swam swiftly towards the boy.
The could only watch in horror as the eels wrapped around him and slowly, and painfully electrocuted him. Then, they began biting at him, leaving clear teeth marks on his skin.
Conner couldn't stand it any longer, and charged at the creatures, only to harmlessly phase through them.
"What's going on?" He snarled angrily. "Why can't I touch them?"
"Because, Conner. Just as Robin though of before, this is just a memory… My memory." Kaldur admitted, his eyes showed deep sorrow.
The team stared at their leader in shock, and then back at the small child. One of the eels made a lunged for his head, when suddenly the imaged swirled again, and returned them back to the white room from before.
Let me just say, I don't actually know Kaldur's past. I made most of it up. :P
But I do remember reading for somewhere that he was Black Manta's son, and that Aquaman saved him. So this is what I came up with :3
