Chapter 6

It had already been half an hour when the team picked up their unexpected passengers. By that time, Miss Martian wasn't the only one that looked green.

Eleanor's insides felt like they were being tossed around and she had to put one hand on it to settle it down or make it slightly better. She used her other hand to cover her mouth because she was afraid that she might throw up the moment she removes it. Who knew that flying for the very first time would have this effect on her?

At first, she was quite eager to finally get the chance to fly, but she was really starting to regret this. They were traveling much faster than what she was used to and her stomach didn't agree to it. It also didn't help that they were cramped up together. She would've used the submersible to get back to the mainland or swam there herself for the bloody hell of it if she had known that this would happen. It seemed that her sixth sense for danger had failed to warn her of this.

"Hey Robin," the speedster called out to his friend, "Please tell me that you have a paper bag or something in that belt of yours."

The green-skinned non-Martian perked up at this statement and turned to look hopefully at the Boy Wonder.

"Sorry, I used up the last one already and I kinda forgot to restock," the youngest member apologized with a sheepish smile on his face while rubbing the back of his head with his hand.

"Whoa, I was just kidding."

"Wait, when did you use it."

"Remember that time you dozed off during training and wouldn't wake up?"

"Yeah, what about i- Hey! That was you!"

"The look on your face was priceless!"

"I think you guys may have gotten a little off topic here," Superboy interrupted the duo's bickering.

It was already too late though. Eleanor had immediately grabbed the closest thing she could get and threw up her lunch and most likely her breakfast as well in it, which was unfortunately her Big Sister helmet.

"Good thing that I never did like the helmet," the girl thought after vomiting in it like a bucket. Another wave of nausea hit her and she vomited in the helmet once again, "And since when did I had carrots!?"

"If there is a god, please let this end already!"

Few hours later

They had lost count on how many times the girl got sick and threw up in her helmet. Fortunately, the helmet wasn't filled up all the way and they had already arrived to the place where they would meet Batman, which was a dock in Happy Harbor.

"Aw man! I forgot to get a souvenir for the mission!" the speedster exclaimed once they landed and got up to leave the Bioship.

"Here," Eleanor said as she placed her helmet into his arms, "You can have this; I don't really want it anymore."

"Sweet!" Kid Flash made his signature smile but it was quickly replaced with a look of disgust when he remembered what she did with it before it became his new souvenir.

"Don't worry, dude, you can just wash it later," Robin assured him as he patted his back and let out a chuckle.

"Come on. Uncle J'onn and the rest of the League is waiting for us," the Martian girl flew past them in a hurry.

They saw Batman, Red Tornado, Black Canary, and Martian Manhunter waiting for them up ahead.

"Time to introduce the new girl."

After the short introductions between the Rapturians and the League, Batman dismissed the Team and asked- more like ordered them to return to the cave.

"Hey, Miss M." Robin called out to the Martian as everyone waited for the Dark Knight's briefing on the results of their mission.

"What is it?"

"Why didn't you scan Eleanor's mind back at that ship?"

"Yeah, why didn't you?" the Kryptonian joined in.

"It's not like I didn't want to read her thoughts, but it just that I couldn't." M'gann answered.

"What do you mean?" asked Aqualad.

"I sensed that there was another presence in her mind that was blocking out her thoughts from me. It also noticed my probing and it didn't like it at all. But from what I could gather from it, I felt rage, uncontrollable and bloodthirsty rage. It didn't even feel human," she shuddered at that last part.

"It took me awhile but I finally washed whatever the heck she ate off of my new souvenir," Kid Flash announced as he entered the living room, brandishing the latest addition to his collection that was now clean of puke. His tone totally didn't match the serious atmosphere that the others had earlier.

"Did I miss something?"

"We were just talking about Eleanor," Miss Martian answered him.

"Oh, okay."

The speedster casually took a seat between Robin and Superboy who were both having a soda.

"I totally wasn't expecting it to be a girl under this," he said as he examined the helmet.

The others couldn't help but agree with him because they too didn't expect that a superhuman who was capable of defeating an infamous super villain like Black Manta alone to be someone around their age. The Team could barely even keep up with her and they were fortunate enough that she was tired from the previous battle or it would not have ended well for both sides.

"I also didn't expect that she would be hot. She's just as gorgeous as Miss Martian," he said to himself as he wore a dreamy look on his face, no doubt fantasizing about the girl who could utterly annihilate him.

This caused the Kryptonian to choke on his soda and cough it out. KF and Robin just stared at him while he was coughing. They weren't really worried when he choked because Superboy was only surprised and not in any danger of dying. It would have been very anti-climatic if he can die from something like drowning.

"Usually, you just ignore what KF says and do your scowl," Robin noted with a playful smirk on his face.

"Yeah, he's right. That is what you always do," the speedster agreed, a similar expression appearing on his face as well.

They both placed their arms on each of the now flustered clone's shoulders, preventing him from escaping. Not like that would help though, considering he can literally shrug them off with his super strength.

Their antics brought a small smile on Kaldur's face and a giggle from M'gann.

"I'm really glad I came to Earth," she thought to herself as she and the Atlantean watched Superboy trying to stop himself from causing intense pain to Robin and Kid Flash.

Eleanor had already told them what her mother probably told them. She could see the pity on the faces of the Martian and blonde woman who introduced themselves as Martian Manhunter and Black Canary while Batman and Red Tornado had no visible change on their faces since Red Tornado was a robot and Batman rarely ever shows emotions.

"I have to say; your story is quite unbelievable. And-" Black Canary tried to tell the girl.

"But we can't rule this out for we have solid evidence. So Martian Manhunter will have to read your mind to see if what you're telling us is the truth," the Dark Knight interrupted.

"Relax yourself and remove the barrier you have placed on your mind?" the Martian politely asked her.

"Barrier? What Barrier?" she asked, confused at his earlier statement. This caused the heroes to exchange confused looks amongst themselves.

"Never mind that for now. I will be as gentle as possible."

The Lamb of Rapture locked eyes with the Martian. His eyes began to glow green and he seemed to be in complete concentration. This left Eleanor puzzled because she felt nothing at his mental contact. Her father's mind on the other hand went to a dream-like state that she couldn't break him from.

She realized that he wasn't reading her mind but her father's instead.

The exchange of information lasted for a few more minutes until the eyes of the green-skinned man reverted back to normal, well normal for Martians.

"Your father is a nice man," Martian Manhunter told her with a small smile on his face.

"Y-yes, he is," the girl replied, ignoring the shock evidently on Batman and Black Canary's faces.

"What did he tell you?"

"He told that you were being honest with us and he also requested that we provide you with somewhere to stay for the meantime."

"I believe that can be arranged," the Dark Knight stated after quickly composing himself.

"Eleanor, would you like to join the Team?" the woman asked her.

"I beg your pardon?"

"It is the same team where my niece M'gann or you would know her as Miss Martian is a part of," the Martian explained, "You could also live at their headquarters if you decide to join."

"I would love to!" she answered a little too fast after hearing that they would provide her a place to stay.

"I know it's sudden and you would like to think about it but-wait, what?" the heroine began to say but was surprise in mid-speech at her immediate reply, "I didn't think that you would agree right away."

"It's not like I have anywhere else to go."

"Fine but if you kill another person again or even try to," he cut in as Eleanor got her hopes up, "We will treat you like any other criminal. Understand?"

She was too intimidated to give the man a proper reply but gave him a stiff nod in response.

"Good," he simply said before motioning at her to follow him and turning to enter a… porta-potty?

A bright light burst out from the crevices of the porta-potty. It reminded her of her teleportation for some reason.

She took a really deep breath, which brought back memories of her entering the Bioship, and stepped into what she deduced wasn't actually a toilet.

It was empty and it had an actual toilet that was luckily clean. Not knowing what to do she just sat on the toilet seat and waited for something to happen.

"This better not be the place they're going to let me stay," she grumpily thought right before the side in front of her opened up.

She last saw the same bright light from before except it left her momentarily blind.

"I would like to announce that Eleanor Lamb will be joining the Team and will also be staying here in the cave with Superboy and Miss Martian," she heard a calm voice that she recognized as Batman's, announced.

Once Eleanor's sight returned to her, she sees that she's in a cave that was greatly refurbished. She was currently in a large empty space that had a metal floor. From here, she could also see a kitchen and a living room nearby. Seated on the sofa and some chairs were the same young heroes she met earlier. Obviously, they were all surprised at the man's announcement.

"I believe that they had already introduced themselves. On another note, Black Canary is will be your combat instructor, Red Tornado will be your supervisor and I will be the one assigning missions to the Team," he said this to her.

"For your clothes," he told her as he then gave her a plastic card.

"I will leave you to get acquainted with each other," the Caped Crusader called out as he exit through what she deduced to be some sort of teleporting device and leaving them alone with an awkward atmosphere surrounding them.

"Um… Hello," Eleanor tried to break the tension with a somewhat uncomfortable greeting.

…

"I hope they're not still mad about the whole 'me trying to kill them' situation," she hopefully thought.

However, the boy in yellow that she remembered was called Kid Flash suddenly ran up to her with his super speed, leaving a trail of dust behind.

"So you're part of the team now? You want some pointers because I can give you some private lessons," the speedster said this last part with a knowingly wink that left Eleanor confused.

"That won't be necessary but thank you for your consideration," she politely declined.

"And another girl turned you down. This makes it the what? Hundredth time already?" the Boy Wonder mocked the speedster.

"Hey, I resent that!"

"Anyway!" Superboy cut in, "Batman gave you a card to buy clothes right?"

"Oooh! Maybe I can help you with that?" Miss Martian eagerly joined in.

"I don't see why not?" she accepted the Martian's assistance.

"It's not like I know my way around here anyway," she added as an afterthought.

That was another decision that she came to regret.
