"Let him go, he has his right to leave at any time." Green Arrow smiles, and turns to walk into Mt. Justice.
"Disgusting…" Insanity mutters along with every curse she knew under her breath; she would never let him leave like that, it simply wasn't right.
"Rude much?" Eon whispered to Robin; he just surged his shoulders in response, apparently he didn't share the same opinion as her.
"That's how we operate, a member can leave at any time they choose, or please." Robin stated like an encyclopedia, Robin takes Eon's arm, and leads her into Mt. Justice smiling like an idiot, she could tell that behind the mask his eyes would surly show the same emotion she had seen from him so much: Happiness.
"So, what now?" Angel asks her hood up concealing her hair, and eyes. She was not happy in the least with her position, and she had thought in the back of her mind of going back to Asarath, but that only reminded her of how her father had destroyed it, leaving the only ones left from Asarath being her own mother, Arela, and her little sister, Rachel.
"Party!" Shouts Kid Flash running around, accidentally running into J'ohnn.
Insanity, Eon, and Terra burst out laughing as Wally hits the ground face first. "Face plant!" They laugh happily.
"Good news, there are two more members of the Team!" Green Arrow announces.
All of a sudden, Eon finds herself pinned to the ground with a girl on top of her, her hair was a golden blonde color, and her eyes a storm-grey, she looked familiar, the trait that gave her away was her waist length hair pulled back into a pony tail.
"Artemis, your dead!" Shouts Eon laughing and she jumps off while Artemis' tension temporarily loosens giving her an opportunity to escape her grasp.
"It's good to see you again Blue!" Artemis laughs, and then her smile turns into a frown. "How did you get in here though?" She asks.
Knowing what Artemis meant Eon staggered back as if she had been pierced with one of the Archer's arrows. "You stabbed me in the back just now Artemis…" Eon says her eyes swelling with tears. She runs to a room with her name on it, and quickly steps inside, and slams the door shut locking it behind her.
"Nice going idiot." Insanity murmurs angrily.
"What was that about?" Batman asks re-entering the room after hearing crying, and a door slam. He was not in the best mood, so everyone was cautious.
"Eon was adopted by my family, 3 years ago… she left, and became a mercenary." Artemis says reluctantly; at her remark Team Eclipse glares at her.
"She isn't anymore!" Ellah says walking up to Artemis as she throws a rock at the girl wearing green
"Let me see." Robin says looking on the computer, when he searches the name: Eon Grace Crock, he sees her name in the criminal database. "She… is in the top 10 most wanted…" Robin says in disbelief.
"I can't have a criminal on my team, even if she is reformed." Batman says.
"I refuse for her to leave!" Robin shouts at his former mentor, and teacher that had taught him since he was 9.
"I am with Robin!" Artemis says standing next to him. The two cross their arms and look as solid as a rock.
"For the record this is my niece M'gann, or Miss Martian." J'ohnn states quietly while a girl with red hair, green eyes, and pale green skin steps forward her hair bouncing at the length of about a quarter ways down her back.
"Hello everyone!" M'gann states smiling.
"I can't allow her to stay." Batman says glaring down at them, and ignoring M'gann.
"I am going to see an old friend of mine, I'll be back later." Eon says walking to the exit, she had on a sapphire blue dress, and a matching mask, she still wore her blue sketchers high-tops that took away from her elegant atmosphere. She had her hair put into pigtails that caused her hair to fall to her waist.
"Are you alright?" Robin asks. He was stunned to see her this way, he had always seen her in a boys t-shirt, and jeans, the shoes fit her though, her hair had always just been let loose, that is why it was so thick.
"I am going to see a friend, you would know her as Cheshire." She says, as everyone hears the words silence settles in. "Once I am back I will pack up, and leave since I now know that my past has been revealed." She says, and she walks away; as she does, everyone notices the long white scar on her left triceps that came from her shoulder to the center of her forearm, this didn't surprise Artemis because she knew the story behind the scar.
"What happened to her arm?" Wally asked, his face was pale, and Artemis could tell that he was a bit scared, with a scar that long, and deep, not many could survive the loss of blood.
"She was almost kidnaped; she beat up the 2 men that tried to take her away, one of them cut her arm, that was the day her parents went missing." Artemis says, she had remembered that day; her friend had been devastated.
"Wow, she must have been strong." Comments M'gann.
"The men were found seriously injured; the police told us that they were traumatized." Artemis states, after her remark there is nothing but silence.
"I never knew that side of her, the only thing about that story that I knew was her family, I also know that that same day they disappeared she was in a bad mood thanks to the fact that she and her friend had gotten into a fight." Robin says remembering what Eon had said that day; he had understood that it was her rage talking to him, and not her though.
"How did you both end up in grade school together? You are at least 3 years apart concerning age." Wally says trying to get away from the depressing topic of Eon.
"The only subjects that Eon was good at were math, science, and technology. The rest of the subjects were just confusing to her." Robin says, he laughs remembering how she replied to the remarks people would say about her intelligence.
"I'm not stupid, or dumb, you are for not seeing that I just don't get things as easy as you, if you were in my shoes, you would understand how I think of you, and those are words I am not allowed to use." Eon said smiling at the shocked Jessica, Eon turned around, and walked to her class leaving Jessica and her entourage with their mouths open gaping at her comeback.
"Please don't make her go!" cries Artemis, she was very angry with herself for telling Batman about her friend's past.
"I- She is friends with Cheshire! No, she is not staying!" Batman says getting ready to turn around and leave.
"She leaves, I leave!" Robin says standing in front of Batman.
"I'm with Boy Wonder." Artemis joins Robin crossing her arms.
"Beautiful is right; I'm with her and Roby!" in the blink of an eye Wally is standing next to Artemis smiling like the biggest idiot ever; Team Eclipse surrounds Batman –not in a menacing way- crossing their arms looking at Batman with rage filled eyes.
"I must agree with Robin, Eon is a good friend of mine." Kaldur steps next to Angel causing her to blush a deep shade of red, though no one could see since her hood was up.
"I'm with everyone else" M'gann steps with them.
"I guess you won't have a team if you make her leave." Robin says smiling.
"Fine…" Batman gives up knowing he couldn't compete with all of the members of The Team.
"Jade?" asks Eon hearing a rustle.
"No, I'm afraid that Jade is not coming." Says Lex Luthor coming out of the shadows alongside Queen Bee; he smiled deviously at Eon as his mercenaries, and Queen Bee's Bialyan soldiers surround the girl.
'I am dead.' Eon thinks while she gets into a defensive form.
"Why so defensive? We only wanted to talk to our daughter." Lex Luthor steps up to Eon.
"Little Bumble Bee go to sleep, rest your eyes until next we meet. You will be safe here; there is no need for fear. Little Bumble Bee rest your eyes, just for us until the sun shall rise." Queen Bee sings the song to Eon witch let's her know that they speak the truth.
"What now?" Eon sighs.
"Come to LexCorp tomorrow." Lex Luthor says then all of a sudden everyone is gone.
'I'm out of here…' Eon thinks, and she runs back to Mt. Justice.
