I own the plunny.
Megan could hear in her mind the tiniest echoes of another voice in Mount Justice, which was strange because Superboy had left early this morning and she was the only one present in the hideout. She finished placing her cookies on the cooling rack and floated into the air.
Slowly, Megan began her search throughout the mountain, trying to pinpoint where voice. She spent a good ten minutes looking up and down the entire mountain. Eventually she gave up. "Maybe I'm just imagining it?" she said to herself.
Earth was so quiet compared back to Mars. Megan wouldn't be surprised if her mind was trying to find a way to cope with that loneliness.
She returned to the kitchen to find a small girl sitting on the chair, eating one of her cookies. She clutching tightly to a bat plush in her hands.
"Hello," Megan said quietly.
The girl snapped her head towards Megan, her eyes wide with surprised. She tensed and made a move to flee.
"Wait," Megan said. "I'm not going to hurt you," she coaxed.
The girl looked at the half eaten cookie in her hand and sheepishly held it up to Megan. Megan smiled. "I'm not mad you ate the cookie either. Were they good?" she asked.
The girl nodded and hugged her bat plush.
Megan tilted her head, trying to piece together who this girl was and how she managed to get into Mount Justice. There was something familiar about this girl. She looked at the bat plush in her hands. "Batgirl?" she probed gently.
The girl nodded again. She shyly grabbed at Megan's skirt.
Megan knelt down to Batgirl's eye level. "Does Robin know you're here?" she asked.
Batgirl shook her head.
Well there wasn't much that could be done about that. Robin would head over to Mount Justice eventually today, so he could take Batgirl home as soon as he got here. Megan wasn't entirely sure how Batgirl managed to get into the cave, but overall didn't question it. "Well then," she said. "In the mean time let's watch a movie and eat some of those cookies."
Batgirl gave her a wide smile.
"Batgirl? Why are you here?"
"Sorry Robin. I just found her."
"Nah, thanks for watching her Megs. How on earth did you get here? Wait… don't answer that. Red Robin figured out how to hack the Zeta Beam didn't he?"
Nod.
-One Week Later-
Megan cuddled Batgirl closely as the two were watching Tangled on the TV. Black Canary and Superboy were off training and Megan had discovered the small girl hiding in her bedroom about two hours ago.
They had just reached the part of the movie where Flynn and Rapunzel were sitting out on the water, watching the lanterns float into the sky when the Zeta Beam announced Robin's arrival.
Megan pause the movie just in time to see Robin skidded to a stop into the living room. The Boy Wonder looked frazzled; his hair a mess, his clothes wrinkled and he looked as if he had just ran around the entire globe.
"There you are," Robin said, looking down at the small girl on Megan's lap. "Geeze, if you're gonna come here at least leave a note." He rubbed his forehead. "I just had a major panic attack looking everywhere for you guys."
Batgirl shrank into Megan, clutching her bat plush.
Robin noticed that and knelt down to her eye level. "Hey, look I'm not angry," he softly explained. "Just ever since you guys figured out the Zeta Beam I haven't got a clue where you guys are going." He poked her on the forehead. "Keep it up and I'm gonna have to take a leaf from Batman's book and put tracers on you all."
Batgirl smiled, her shoulders shaking in a silent laugh.
"Everything alright Robin?" Megan asked. She handed Batgirl over to him.
"Yeah. They figured out the Zeta Beam and now they go vanishing every so often. Red Hood has taken to stalking Roy in Star City, Red Robin likes vanishing to Central to visit his friend and it seems Batgirl here has taken a shine to you, Miss M," Robin grinned. He looked at Batgirl. "But really guys, it isn't that hard to tell someone where you're going is it? Or at least leave a note before I think all of you have been kidnapped or something."
Batgirl nodded.
Megan bit her lip. There's a question that had been foaming in her mind since that field training exercise in Gotham. She wasn't sure if it was appropriate or not to ask, given how Robin liked to keep his civilian life separated from his superhero one. "Are… they your siblings?" she asked hesitantly.
Behind his sunglasses, Robin blinked owlishly at Megan. "Yeah. They are. Thanks so much for watching her Megan."
Megan smiled. So she was right! They were Robin's siblings. That made a lot of sense. "No problem!"
Batgirl tugged on Robin's collar to get her big brother's attention. Robin looked at his little sister. A smile tugged at his face as they silently communicated. "Next time," he said. "You can bring the pictures."
Megan watched curiously the conversation exchanged between the siblings. She was still learning Batgirl's silent cues that she used. Watching Robin and her converse without any words showed that she had much to learn.
"Alright, we should go. Someone is late for dinner and A hates it when you miss it dinner. Again thanks so much, Megan," Robin thanked. He headed back toward the Zeta Beam.
"Again no problem," Megan said brightly. She waved at Batgirl who looked back at her, still nestled safely in Robin's arms. "See you again."
Batgirl waved. 'Bye bye.'
It's after the swirling of the Zeta Beam died down that Megan realized that she had just heard Batgirl's goodbye telepathically. Did Batgirl let her hear her thoughts? While Megan had not perfected her control yet, she had more than enough experience to know that the reason why she couldn't hear Batgirl's thoughts was because the small girl had some training with mental shields. It was probably Batman who taught it for Robin had similar shields. Why would she let Megan hear that?
How very interesting. Megan look forward to the next time Batgirl came to visit. They needed to finish the Tangled movie anyways.
Please review. :3
