A/N: I am so sorry for the late update! It's been hectic these past few days but the good news is that we're finally getting a third season of this wonderful show! Great job fandom! XD
Mount Justice
November 22, 08:23 EST
Mia went to the mission room and saw M'gann morph into Black Canary then started a training session with Conner. "I'm not touching that with a ten foot pole." She turns around and walks out of the room pretending that she hadn't seen anything. "Guess it's TV time." Mia plops onto the couch and starts watching Supernatural with Lola right next to her. As Mia's watching the fifth season, Batman's voice interrupts her.
'Robin, Kid Flash, Superboy, Miss Martian, Blink, report for mission briefing.'
Mia internally groans "Damn it Bats." She sighs and went to her room to get dressed. While she's doing that, Lola continues to watch the series and would purr loudly every time Dean Winchester appeared. Mia arrives in the mission room in her suit and stood next to Wally as Batman went over the mission.
"Rumaan Harjavti is the democratically-elected President of Qurac. Harjavti has been praised as a fair, wise leader a humanitarian"
"Sure. Any friend of Bruce Wayne's" Wally makes a side remark.
Mia stomps on his foot and gave him a look that said Knock it off.
"But five days ago Harjavti allied himself with the dictator of the neighboring nation of Bialya, Queen Bee"
"Huh! Not a fan" Conner states.
"More like Queen Bitch" but Mia didn't say that out loud.
"Few are. But Harjavti suddenly backs Queen Bee's faceless claim that Qurac and Bialya were one nation in ancient times and has announced that countries will reunify in two days at a ceremony in Qurac"
'After the ceremony, I will step down as President so that our rightful monarch, Queen Bee, may rule' Harjavti states in a press conference.
'I laud President Harjavti for unifying our peoples and I will gladly come to Qurac to be crowned sole leader of our nation' Queen Bee responds to Harjavti's statement.
"And the Quracis are ok with this?" Wally asks.
Mia scoffs "Doubt it."
"Hardly. They're well aware of the brutality of Queen Bee's regime. But Harjavti has censored press, silenced all legitimate protest and invited the Bialyan military into his country to enforce martial law"
"Queen Bee has to be controlling Harjavti. Doesn't she have the power to enthrall most men?" Robin wonders.
"And some women. But not long distance. And we have confirmation she hasn't left Bialya. Something else is at work here. Found out what. Robin, you're team leader."
Robin was shocked while Wally and Mia were happy for him.
"Promotion. Sweet" Wally raises his hand for a high-five.
"Me? Wh-what about Aqualad?"
"Busy helping Aquaman. You're the next logical choice" "I would place Mia as leader but Robin needs to learn how to be a leader."
"Great" Robin says with disappointment in his voice.
"Dude? You totally left me hanging."
"I got you Kid" Mia high-fives him then places a hand on Robin's shoulder "You got this. We're all behind you no matter what."
"Thanks."
Mia nods then all five left and headed for the bioship. When all of them were strapped in, M'gann took off and went out into space. In that small time frame when they were in space, Mia lets out a small gasp as she marveled at the beauty of looking at the planet from space. "Note to self: take bioship out into space and do a portrait." The bioship starts its descent back to Earth and arrived in Qurac.
Qurac
November 22, 23:56 UTC+2
"We're right above the Quraci-Bialyan border" Robin states.
"A border, the Bialyans are in the process of ignoring" Wally comments.
Mia looks out the window and saw tanks taking down a fence "Jerks."
The bioship flies over the commotion in camouflage mode.
"No opposition. Guess, Harjavti really is in bed with Bialya" Conner mentions.
"That's what he said" Mia said softly earning a choked laugh from Wally.
"Wouldn't expect opposition here. It's an animal sanctuary" Robin says.
"The Logan Animal Sanctuary?" M'gann asks.
"You've heard of it?"
"Where did you hear that Meg?" Mia wonders.
"Guys, the tanks have caused a stampede. With civilians in harms way" Wally urgently states.
"I see them. Woman and a small boy" Conner confirms.
"We have to help them!" M'gann exclaims.
"We're way off mission here."
"Rob" Mia softly spoke.
He was silent for a bit then orders "Deploy. But stealth mode. If the Bialyans know we hit 'em this becomes an international incident."
As they took care of the Bialyan soldiers, Conner lands in front of the civilians and took down a wildebeest creating a small crater in the process. The small crater made the stampede split as the animals continued to run in fear. The injured animal with the civilians gets up and heads into the stampede.
"Oryx!" the boy yells out.
The Oryx was lifted into the air by M'gann's telekinesis.
"Whoa" the boy says.
"Are you both alright?" Robin asks.
Wally and Mia appear next to him as they stood in front of the civilians.
"Mom? Mom! Mom!" his mom looks at him "We were just saved by Robin and Kid Flash!"
"Well, Superboy, Miss Martian and Blink helped too" Wally states.
"Thanks KF" Mia smiles at the speedster.
"Oryx!"
M'gann gently sets down the animal but stayed in camouflage mode.
"Meg are you ok?"
"I'm fine."
"Doesn't seem like it."
"We diverted the Bialyans around the sanctuary. You should be safe now" Robin says.
"Uh, yeah, coast is clear, Miss M. You can de-camo now" Wally tells M'gann.
She does just that and was a bit nervous "H-hi."
The boy saw how M'gann looked and smiled at her.
"You may have made things worse. Bialyan border crossings are a way of life here. Usually they wreck a few fences and move on. Engaging them might have made us a target" the woman crosses her arms.
"Mom? Uncool!"
She sighs "I'm sorry. I should thank you. This is my son, Garfield. I'm-"
"Marie Logan! I can't believe I'm actually meeting you in person! Uh, I've-I've, uh, admired your stance on animal rights for years" M'gann fangirls.
"I didn't peg Meg as a fangirl. Who knew." Mia looks at her in a new light.
"You've only been on Earth six months" Conner tells her telepathically.
M'gann looks away blushing profusely.
"The Oryx is sick and I think you injured this wildebeest" Marie looks at Conner.
"Uh, sorry?"
"Nice going Supey" Mia chides.
"I suppose, it was unavoidable. But both need to go to our clinic" Marie states.
"The boys can do that. You and I can, uh, fix your fences" M'gann offers.
"I think she forgot about me" Mia whispers to Wally.
"That's not exactly our-" Robin was cut off.
"Robin" "Please, mom?" the two begged.
"Uh, fine" Robin and Marie agreed.
"Yes" they cheered.
As they headed over to the Logan's house, Mia walked next to Robin and the two have a small chat.
"This is a bad idea."
"Robin, it's fine. Nothing bad will happen."
"I hope you're right."
The sun started to rise as they arrived at the house. Right as they walked underneath a tree, a small monkey jumps out and lands on Conner's shoulder. It jumped over to Wally's head and stole his snack bar.
"Hey! Get it off!"
Garfield laughs "It's okay. Meet Monkey."
"Good name. But I hate monkeys" Conner says with distaste.
"As long as he doesn't fling poo, we're good" Mia comments.
Monkey threw the snack bar at Conner's head then screeches.
"Looks like Monkey hates Superboys" Robin jokes.
"Dude, be glad he only threw a protein bar" Wally tells Conner.
Mia took a chance and walked over to Garfield.
"Can I?"
"Of course."
Mia stretches her hand out to Monkey and smiles at him. He sniffs her hand then tilts his head at her. Mia copies his motion and he walks onto her hand then settles on her shoulder.
"Aw you're not so bad" she turns around to face the boys "You guys just don't know how to be gentle."
"You kick butt, kids love you, you can paint, cook and now animals love you. Is there anything you can't do Blink?" Wally asks.
"I'll tell you when I figure it out" Mia smirks.
Monkey leaves Mia's shoulder and goes back onto Garfield's. All of them head inside the house to get out of the sun.
"So pretty weird about Miss Martian and my mom, huh?"
"What do you mean?" Conner asks.
"I mean, she looks exactly like Marie. You know, except greener."
Mia shrugs "Could be a coincidence."
"She does?" Wally asks.
"Well, duh, especially when mom was a TV star on "Hello, Megan!"."
"Say what?" Mia says in confusion.
"Wait, "Hello, Megan" is a TV show?" Wally wonders.
"I just thought it was something she said all the time" Robin comments.
"Yeah, on the TV show. Way before we were born. Only one season. You can't even find it online. I know mom has a tape somewhere."
"Well this'll be interesting" Mia thought as she watches Garfield search for the tape.
Outside, M'gann was helping Marie put in new fence posts. She uses her telekinesis to move the wires and made them wrap around the posts.
"Well, you're certainly a time saver."
"How was it, being Megan?"
"Being Megan? I don't know. Well, I was young. It was fun."
"Remember that time you were supposed to make cookies for the bake sale, only you thought it'd be faster to make one giant cookie and-"
Marie cuts in "Listen, "Hello, Megan" was a job. The person you saw on TV, isn't who I am."
M'gann's joy deflated at the way her favorite star spoke to her.
Garfield finds the tape "Hello, Megan. The pilot episode."
"Whoa! You still have VHS. Where's your 8-track?" Wally sarcastically asks.
"Retro" Mia comments.
"Wait! Aircraft, headed this way" Conner warns.
Soon he and Wally went outside while Robin and Mia talked to Garfield.
"Gar, stay put."
"Don't go outside for anything."
Then the two of them quickly head outside. M'gann and Marie came back from building the new fence and saw them outside.
"What is it?" M'gann asks.
Everyone turned to see three drones inbound and the drones started firing at them. M'gann covers Marie while Conner covers the both of them.
"Where's my son?"
"I ordered him to stay inside" Robin states.
"And I warned him not to go outside" Mia adds.
"He's eight! He doesn't do orders or listens to warnings."
"Mom!" everyone turned to see Garfield opening the barn doors to let out the oryx and wildebeest. "It's okay, I got the animals out!"
The drones were firing close to the barn and the bullets hit the propane tank causing it to explode with Garfield caught in the blast.
"Garfield!" Marie shouts.
M'gann quickly flies over and caught him in the air. She floats down and passes him over to Marie. The drones came around for a second wave. Conner and M'gann went to attack while Marie scolds Robin and Mia.
"I told you there'd be consequences."
"Always. Let's get him inside."
"We're not gonna let them get away with this."
Mia teleports herself into the air where the drones are and destroys one while Mia and Conner took care of the other two. Mia pops in the room in time to hear Marie talk about Garfield's condition.
"He's in shock. Are any of you O negative?"
"No" Robin says.
"Sorry" Wally responds.
"I have no clue" Mia adds.
"You're O positive" Robin tells her.
"Good to know."
"Neither am I. It's the hardest to match. I kept a supply in the clinic."
"I can run him to the nearest hospital" Wally offers.
"The nearest hospital with a guaranteed blood supply is half an hour away at your top speed. Longer by bioship" Robin explains.
"I'll take him" Mia offers.
They looked at her with worry.
"Blink, are you sure?" Robin asks.
"It's faster than Kid and the bioship. I don't see any other option at the moment."
Robin nods and just as Mia took a step, she felt a stabbing pain in her side. She doubles over in pain and placed her hands where the pain was coming from. Soon she felt the familiar stickiness that is blood.
"Damn it" she mutters.
Marie moves Mia's hand slightly to see the wound and frowns.
"You have a piece of shrapnel embedded in your hip. Every motion you make will cause it to go in deeper. There's no way that you can get him to the hospital in time."
"Well, I've got to try."
Mia gently pushes Marie away and took another step but she falls to her knees in pain.
Wally rushes to her side and whispers in her ear "Mia, don't. If you keep moving you're going to die and I'm not going to let that happen on my watch."
"Ok."
"He doesn't have that much time. What's Superboy's blood type?"
"He's Kryptonian. And Miss Martian-"
"Might be able to help" all of them turned to see M'gann at the doorway "My shape-shifting occurs at the cellular level. I think I can morph my blood to match his."
"Please, try" Marie pleas.
"I'll need to concentrate. No distractions."
"Out. All of you, out."
"Hey Supey, would you mind?" Mia asks.
Conner gently picks her up and does his best to move so much. All four were soon out of the room and into the living room. Conner lays Mia on the sofa and stood off to the side.
"And on top of all of this, Harjavti steps down tomorrow subjecting all of Qurac to this danger" Robin rubs his tired face "Kid-KF, can you find a news station?"
"Sure. Which remote is it?"
Wally clicks random buttons and the TV show "Hello, Megan!" starts.
"Great. Now I can watch some old sitcom while slowly bleeding to death" Mia sarcastically states.
~"Hello, Megan!
School and boys and parents too.
Hold back the chuckle for miss you know who.
Hello, Megan. Hello Megan.
This cheerleader knows the score.
Center of attention and so much more.
Hello Megan.
A little bit distractible but never too retractable.
She really quite attractable.
Okay a lot distractible.
Eventually she'll get a clue…"~
'Hello, Megan!'
~"The girl for me, the girl for you"~
All four just stare at the TV.
~"Hello Megan. Hello Megan.
The girl for me, the girl for you.
Ha ha hello Megan"~
"Maybe it's a coincidence" Conner comments.
"Of course…not. Um, still dying of blood loss here" Mia states.
"What do you need?" Wally asks.
"A needle, some thread, anything with alcohol in it, a pair of tweezers and a rag."
"You got it."
As Wally went to get the supplies, a scene from the show caught everyone's attention.
'Conner!' and Megan went to hug him.
"At least we know where Meg got the name Conner from" Mia comments.
Wally comes back with the supplies and hands them to Mia.
"Oh, yeah, pure coincidence" he adds.
"It's done. All we can do is wait" M'gann says as she came back from the backroom.
Wally fumbles with the remote and kept pressing buttons when suddenly the news pops up.
"Don't press another button KF" Mia warns.
'My fellow Quracis…'
"Is that Harjavti?" M'gann asks.
'Queen Bee's rule is a gift to Qurac.'
"Hey, that guy in the back, I know him" Conner states.
Robin pulls up his holo-computer and zooms in on the hooded figure behind Harjavti.
"It's Psimon, the psychic we fought last time we were in Bialya. He was working for Queen Bee then he must be controlling Harjavti for her now" M'gann informs.
"Ugh I still remember the headache from when he brain blasted us" Wally comments.
"We have to get Harjavti away from him" Robin orders.
"And done" Mia softly said as she puts down the needle "Thank god I learned how to sew."
Marie walks in "I think it worked. Garfield's stable."
"Good, because we have our mission."
All five heroes left the house and entered the bioship to continue their mission. On the way there, Wally looks at Mia with worry.
"You good?"
"I should be. As long as I don't pull my makeshift stitches, I'm good."
"Where'd you learn that?"
"Experience" was all she said.
Dhabar
November 23, 22:11 UTC+2
They arrived in Dhabar and made it inside the building unnoticed. They waited in the vents while Robin lowers a small camera to make sure that the coast was clear.
"Harjavti's alone."
Robin kicks open the vent and all of them entered the office. Robin and Mia walked over to Harjavti then he looks at them.
"Where's my daughter?" he groans "Where's Psimon?"
"Forget him. Let's get you out of here" Robin states.
"We'll find your daughter Mr. President" Mia promises.
Soon Bialyan soldiers with Apocalyptan weapons burst into the office. The boys and Mia got into a fighting stance, ready to attack at a moment's notice.
"Well, well. American heroes here to assassinate the President. Such a shame we arrived too late to stop him" a Bialyan general states.
"He sounds cocky. Can I kick his ass out of here now?" Mia wonders.
"Those are Apocalyptan weapons" Conner warns.
"Which they'll use to kill Harjavti. We get blamed and Queen Bee gets to rule Qurac. Form up around the President" Robin orders.
"I found Psimon" M'gann notifies.
"Wait."
"Meg!"
"I'll get her" Conner says.
"No! The mission is Harjavti" Robin reminds.
"So not feeling the aster" Mia adds.
M'gann arrives in a room then gets hit with a psychic blast. She looks over to see Psimon walking in.
"Tsk-tsk. Am I the only one to learn anything from our previous encounter? You didn't think that maybe if you could sense me I could sense you too? Or that this time I'd be ready to use your greatest fear against you?"
M'gann was able to stand up but she struggled a little to stay up.
"Psimon says…show me who, or rather what you really are."
He takes off his hood revealing his grotesque brain. M'gann felt herself change and fought against it.
"No. No. No! This is who I am!"
M'gann soon turns back into her original form, a white Martian.
The boys and Mia took care of the Bialyan soldiers with ease.
Mia wipes her hands "Well that was a good exercise."
"Thank you for saving my father. We will take care of him now" Harjavti's daughter says.
"Glad we could help" Mia smiles.
All four left Harjavti's office and went to back up M'gann.
"M'gann, we're coming" Conner states.
"Just hold on" Mia adds.
As they made it to the room, they got hit with a psychic blast. The boys passed out while Mia was still standing.
"Guys?" Mia looks at Psimon and glares at him "Big mistake buddy."
When Mia got closer, she was thrown back into the hallway and slams into a wall then faints.
"Psimon says, smartly done. Brain blasting your own team. I had no idea you'd go to such lengths to hide your true self from your good friends. Well, actually, I did. But you needn't have bothered. It's being recorded for prosterity."
M'gann looks over at the wall of monitors "No!" she sends a brain blast at Psimon but he blocks it.
"Ah ah ah. I didn't say, Psimon says."
He send the blast back at M'gann and they entered her mind.
"Aah!" M'gann screams as she falls to the ground. She gets up and walks around to see Psimonn right in front of her.
"Come now. We both know that's not who you really are. Must you even lie to yourself within your own mind?"
"It's not a lie! This is who I am!" M'gann yells.
She shoots a blast at him but he defends himself from it again.
"Wow. And they say, I'm pathological" he fires a shot at her and it was a direct hit "Off our game, are we? Let's dig a little deeper find out what we're really afraid of."
Psimon delves deeper into her mind and saw what M'gann's truly afraid of.
Most of the Team stepped back in fear of her. "Keep back!" Wally shouts.
"Well, of course. Friends and teammates shrink from you in fear"
"You should have told us the truth" Canary says.
"I don't see how we can trust you now" Batman states.
"Then you're kicked off the pep squad"
"I am sorry, M'gann. But there is no place for you on Earth now" Manhunter says.
"Oh, and banished to Mars too. Yet, that's not the worst, is it?"
M'gann sees Conner's and Mia's backs facing her.
"No. Please. Stop."
"Love you? I can't even look at you."
"I can't believe I'm friends with an abomination. C'mon Conner, let's get out of here."
Mia and Conner walked away with their hands intertwined.
M'gann falls to her knees crying then Psimon appears.
"Oh, what you wouldn't do to prevent that now, right?"
"That's right" M'gann made the whole place start to shake.
"Now, now, my pretty. I know you don't want to do anything you'll regret."
"You don't know me at all!"
M'gann shot one final blast at him, completely erasing him from her mind.
Mia finally came to her sense then quickly got on her feet and ran back to help the others. "Please let them be ok." She reaches the room and sees M'gann helping Conner.
"Conner? You okay?"
Mia walks over and helps Wally sit up.
"Uh, and there's the headache."
"Good thing I didn't-ow" Mia hisses as she clamps her wound.
"Mia?"
"I think I opened my stitches."
"Let me see" Wally looks at her wound and a grim look shows on his face "It's infected and there's still a piece of shrapnel in the wound. Damn it."
"Psimon?" Robin asks.
"He brain blasted you. I stopped him."
All of them left the building and headed for the bioship for a bit. Wally carries Mia bridal style then lays her down on the examination table. As he was about to leave, Mia quickly grabs his hand and he looks back at her.
"Wally?" she asks worriedly.
"You're going to be fine. As a great knight once said 'Tis but a flesh wound'."
Mia laughs then groans in pain "You just had to quote Monty Python didn't you?"
Wally shrugs "I had to make you laugh somehow."
"Whatever West" Mia grips his hand tighter "Stay with me for a while?"
"Always" Wally smiles.
The two settled and enjoyed each others company for the time being until they had to go back outside.
"What do you mean, the President won't see me? He invited me!" Queen Bee states.
"Not of my free will. No! But now that I am free of your minion thrall…the Quraci people will never suffer your tyrannical rule!" Harjavti promises.
"Mark me, Harjavti you will suffer for this. Qurac will be mine!" Queen Bee vows.
In the office the others waited and 'Queen Bee' walks in then morphs back into M'gann.
"Sorry you had to lie to everyone like that. But I couldn't think of any other way to convince the public, Queen Bee was behind this" Robin apologizes.
"Dude, saving a country. Pretty big win for your first turn as leader" Wally compliments.
"Yeah, thanks."
Mia wraps her arm around his shoulder "Don't be so glum. You're now part of the 'I saved a country' club" she leans in and whispers "But seriously you did great Robin."
They left Dhabar and went to check on the Logans.
'And I assure you, the Wayne Foundation is here to do whatever it can to help you and your people rebuild Qurac' Wayne says.
Marie turns off the TV.
"Gee, Bruce Wayne got here fast. Almost like he knew-" Wally got hit by both Mia and Robin.
"Don't you have a souvenir to collect or something?"
"Yeah KF. Find something interesting."
"Hello, Megan!" Wally hits his head and walks over to pick up the VHS tape then waved it in front of M'gann "Something you'd like to tell us?"
"Kid" Mia warns.
M'gann looks at everyone then sighs.
"Growing up on Mars was not a happy time for me. But I started watching the broadcasts my uncle sent from Earth to teach us about our sister planet. And when I saw "Hello, Megan" something just clicked. Maybe it was the similarities in our names. Maybe it was the way all of Megan's problems could be solved in 22 minutes. All I know for sure is that Megan helped me smile through a lonely childhood. So when I came to Earth and had to adopt a human form…I chose you" M'gann glances at Marie "Well, huh, Megan."
"Oh Meg" Mia's eyes began to water.
"Which begs the question. What do you really look like?" Robin asks.
M'gann stood up to face the group and her hair disappears.
"And I thought it would be worse" Mia remained silent.
"Bald M'gann! Still hot" Wally states.
Mia slaps his shoulder while Conner got up and stood in front of M'gann.
He takes her hand into his "You know you don't have to put on a mask for me."
M'gann took a step back "I do it for me. This is who I am, inside. Please don't be mad."
"Mad? I'm honored. M'gann, you saved my son. He says he's your blood brother now. And I agree. You're family."
M'gann walks over and hugs Marie "Thank you. You don't know what that means to me."
A tear escapes and Mia quickly wipes it away. "This is great" her wound flares making her groan "This isn't."
"Does it still hurt?" Wally asks.
"Big time. Miss Logan" Marie looks over "Would you mind?"
"Of course not."
Marie went to check out Mia's wound while M'gann went to check on Garfield.
She slowly opens the door "Garfield? Huh?"
The door swings open and Queen Bee was laying next to Garfield.
"Shh. It would be a shame to wake him. I might have to order my little thrall here to damage himself" M'gann's eyes glowed green "Uh-uh. He already has orders to do just that if anything happens to me" M'gann's returned to normal "Now, your performance a bit over the top, I think. But then, you haven't practiced me the way you've perfected the role of Megan" Queen Bee stood up and walked towards her "That's right. Poor Psimon's not the only one who knows your true form. And if you don't cooperate…I'll make sure everyone knows what you really are."
"Oh no."
