Chapter Two:

Shout out to my best friend: Ryuu Hotaku :)

Marcie was still filling out forms when there was a knock at her door. She glanced to the clock, 7:13. "Who is it?" She called out, not moving from the desk.

"Hale. Can I come in?"

Marcie almost fell out of her chair, HALE was knocking at her door, "Uh, yea."

Hale pushed open the door and poked his head in, "Hey there, you still filling out forms?"

Marcie sighed and looked down at the papers, "Almost done."

Hale walked towards the desk, "Can I help."

Marcie shook her head, "This info-"

"Is between the person is about and you. I know. Have you done my form yet?"

Marcie shrugged and started going through the pile, "Uh yea," She pulled it out.

Hale held out his hand, "Can I see it?"

Marcie handed it to him, "There you go."

Hale scanned it, "Oh my god, you know everything about me!"

Marcie nodded, "Sure do."

Hale slammed the piece of paper against his chest, "Quick! When was I born?"

Marcie rolled her eyes, "August, Friday 13th. At 2:34 A.M."

"Favorite color?"

"Blue."

"Food I can't stand?"

"Fish, but that's easy you are Aqua Lad's son."

"Power?"

"Freaky ninja skills. Also Aqua Lad's powers. Vanessa, your sister, has Rocket's powers and Farah, your other sister, has both Aqua Lad and Rocket's powers."

Hale smiled, "So you do know everything," He passed her back the form.

Marcie placed it back in the pile, "I have to, I'm your leader."

Hale nodded, "Yea, I know. My dad was the leader."

Marcie felt her face getting hot, "Oh, yea. I-I'm so sorry Hale. I-"

Hale shook his head, "Don't worry, I didn't want to be leader. After all the stories dad told me. No, no way. I actually told Nightwing that I wasn't going to do it."

Marcie smiled, "So no hard feelings?"

"None at all," Hale said, "but Janette seems to have some with you. You heard right? About you and me, you know..."

Marcie rolled her eyes, "Yea, I know. Zuri told me. And I told Janette if she tries something like that again, her butt is off this team."

Hale nodded, "Why does she hate you so much?"

Marcie shrugged, "I don't know. I guess she thought her own father would give her team leader."

Hale shrugged, "Maybe."

Marcie sighed and turned back to her papers, "I can't think of any other reason." She grabbed the papers, "Can you?"

Hale just looked away, "No."

Marcie opened her desk drawer and stuffed the papers in it, "Anyway, I'm done here. You heading home?"

Hale shook his head, "Dad and mom are working on some mission in Africa. I'm staying here till they come home."

Marcie nodded, "Well then night Hale."

"Night Marcie."

Marcie threw the door to her house open, "Mom! Dad! I'm home! PARKER! Norah!"

"Mar, Mar!" Norah cried as she came around the corner.

Marcie smiled and set her bag down, "Norah!" She cried lifting her baby sister up in the air.

Norah let out a happy wail, "Airplane!"

Marcie laughed, "Okay Norah." She lowered Norah close to the ground and then lifted her up fast.

"AGAIN!" Norah cried grabbing at Marcie's wrist.

Marcie opened her mouth to reply to Norah when, "Your sister is tried Norah," Artemis answered as she came around the corner.

Marcie smiled, "Hey mom," She handed Norah over to Artemis.

"Hey," Artemis said as she kissed Marcie's forehead, "how was your day?" She started towards the kitchen and Marcie followed.

"Okay, I had to write forms out on every member on the team."

Artemis nodded as she lowered Norah into her high chair, "Learn anything cool?"

Marcie shrugged, "Well, Zuri hates monkeys. But no not really."

Artemis nodded again.

"Hey where is dad and Parker?" Marcie asked.

Artemis sighed, "Your dad is out in the back with Parker. Playing ball."

Marcie nodded, "I'm going to go join them."

Artemis nodded, "Have fun."

Marcie pushed the back door open and stepped out on the back porch.

"Ready Parker?" Wally called.

Parker nodded.

"And go!" Wally threw a baseball and it hurtled towards Parker.

Parker swung the bat, but the ball was coming to fast. It flew past Parker and slammed into the gate, hitting the ground with a dull thump.

Parker sighed.

"It's okay Parker. You'll get better," Wally said as he wrapped his arm around Parker's shoulder.

Marcie smiled and Wally looked up, "Marcie! Your home!"

Marcie stepped off the porch and walked over to him, "Yep."

Wally gave Marcie a hug, "How'd it go?"

Marcie shrugged, "It was fine."

Parker smiled, "Janette got yelled out by Marcie.

Wally looked at Marcie, "Janette Grayson?"

Marcie sighed, "It was nothing dad. Janette is just mad. Or something."

"Over?"

Marcie shrugged, "I have no idea."

Wally nodded, "Well I'm sure it will work out."

Marcie smiled, "Yea."

Wally glanced down at his watch, "It's not too late, you want to go for a jog Marcie?"

Marcie laughed, "A jog, or a 'jog' dad?"

Wally smiled, "A 'jog' Marcie."

Parker sighed, "I'll go tell mom," And he headed up the stairs.

"Race you," Wally said, his boyish smile creeping on to his face.

"You are on," Marcie laughed.

"Go!"

And with that Marcie took off down the road in a blink of an eye, across town in a few seconds.
