siren beginning chapter 6

Dick called her often over the next two months so did Roy and Charlotte lost the feeling of loneliness. Between the two she was content even when her father beat on her when she didn't go on patrol which was every night since she made the deal with batman. Two months had passed and no word of a mentor was heard. Charlotte liked not having to push herself too much but she couldn't wait any longer. She liked helping people and she wanted to find that villain the spartan he seemed worth looking into. So off she went in search of some crime. That night she stopped a robbery and five muggings. Oh how she missed this. On the roof of a building where she stopped a kidnapping she called robin to see if he was out and about. "Siren to robin" "hi siren what's up." "Nothing waiting for batman to let me do some crime fighting." She could imagine robin smirking at her and said "oh yeah he found one. I was supposed to call today and tell you to meet us at Wayne tower tomorrow night and to get off the street because he knows your out tonight." Charlotte smirked and said "I will see you tomorrow then." Their conversation was ended and Charlotte headed home. Her father had beaten her every night she didn't go. How was he supposed to get revenge if she wouldn't go and deal it out for her. She luckily had been taught enough to keep him from hurting her too much but she let him hit her knowing it would make him feel better and that she was disobeying her father. That night he ignored her as she came and cleaned herself up. She would be a hero too not just hiding in the shadows. The next night she was on Wayne tower waiting. After an hour batman and robin showed up and they had a girl with them. They showed up and Charlotte could see it was black canary. Siren had to bite her lip to keep from smiling it was her hero the famed black canary. The woman smiled saying hello and talking to the child. Saying how she would be her mentor and tonight she wanted to see how well siren fought. She also complimented her hero name and Charlotte had to bite her lip to keep from saying speedy chose it. With that batman and robin were gone after robin flashed a big smile at siren. With that the little girl followed the blonde woman onto the street to stop a smuggling of drugs. There were eight men whipping into action siren threw four throwing stars pinning two men to a wall. She jumped down knocking one over. Then with speed she used her bracelet to pull out two eskrima sticks knocking the men over with blows that would hurt the next day. Black canary was impressed and let the girl lead her around the city showing off and working with her. The girl was good at team work and she liked this child a lot happy batman got her to do this. Once the sun started peeking up she sent the girl home. The girl hide it well but she was tired. That afternoon she would meet the girl and bring her to the watchtower to train. She for some reason already trusted the little girl but then again the girl had been doing the job well for quite some time. as great as she was BC wanted to train as a team if she was to mentor this girl. So that afternoon Charlotte went with black canary to the watch tower to train. The girl tried to keep a poker face as she was led through the watchtower behind robin and black canary. The boy had snuck out to meet up with the girl and introduce his new friend to the league. Black canary led the way to the gym knowing that the league knew she was getting a protege and was spying. If they wanted to come introduce themselves they could. Once in the gym robin watched as black canary went over different techniques siren knew. Afterwards they worked out some more and sparred as league members gathered to watch. Siren was good staying small knowing she could be outmatched. She kept up with black canary carefully dodging her hits and sending blows of her own. Siren was able to keep up for an hour as a crowd gathered. Black canary was one of the leagues best fighters and this little girl was keeping up as if it was easy. Canary would kick siren flipping backwards out if the way and sent a flying side kick to her side. Black canary caught her foot throwing her across the room. Siren flipped and twisted getting back to her feet. Canary punched and siren used the force to throw canary to the ground. The woman grabbed the girl and threw her down but both were in their feet in no time. Finally black canary ended the match by feinting to one side and kicking her down. After that robin tried to take a turn but everyone wanted to introduce themselves to the child that he didn't get a chance. Charlotte stood quietly hiding her face shyly under her mask and hood as the amazing league members introduced themselves. She met superman the flash Wonder Woman hawk girl and a dozen other heroes. Finally they started to disperse as green arrow and his sidekick showed up. Charlotte grinned under the hood when she saw Roy and robin noticed. He frowned did siren like speedy more. He had only met the other hero twice before when batman had to work with green arrow. They had become close even with the age difference but speedy had experience with mature young children. Green arrow greeted the three cheerfully going over and inspecting Dinah's new partner. Siren gave him a sweet shy smile and he smiled back. She was a cute girl and she seemed tough enough. As long as BC was safe. He loved canary and didn't want this child getting her hurt. He introduced his partner the always cranky speedy to the girl and he nodded. Speedy had a lot of younger children he was close to but he didn't need more than the two he had. Robin was his superhero family and Charlotte was his sister. He was also angry because this girl had his nickname he gave to Charlotte. He tried to ignore the girl until he saw something glint in the light. A necklace around the girls neck with siren on it. It was exactly the same as the one he have her. Then he got it looking dumbfounded at Charlotte jaw hanging open he saw her giant smile. She knew who he was. The other three were watching as the two stared at each other and then siren jumping into speedy's hug hiding each other tight. Robin was upset. He really liked the girl even though they were both nine. When Roy finally put her down green arrow asked "Roy do you know her?" "Yeah Ollie she's the girl I told you about." Green arrow nodded he knew Roy had adopted in a sense a little sister. Black canary and robin still stood there confused and since they all knew each others identity but not how they connected Roy explained how he met her and then robin explained how he met her. Once all was cleared up green arrow went to talk with batman and a few others about this leaving the three tiny heroes to train and couldn't help but smile as she talked in one of the watchtower lounges with the boys. She wasn't alone and it was nice. sitting in between Dick and Roy she was happy. They talked waiting for their mentors. They were there until late waiting when finally the league members were done the three still talking. Black canary calling her siren ran over to stand to next to her new mentor. Pulling her aside her mentor told her not to divulge any secrets and that every afternoon she would come to the watchtower to train with black canary if she wanted to patrol at night. From then on siren was with her new family. She found out who BC was and when not on hero duty went to her job to help and get out of her house. Her father had completely ignored her at most times now. He was pleased but didn't know what to do now. It was awkward for her. She became close to the league knowing many of their secret identities since many thought she was so cute and trustworthy. She called them her aunts and uncles since they became close. Roy Dick and her became closer like brothers and sister and she was happy. Occasionally they ran into the spartan who made it clear siren was his arch enemy more than anyone and made it his point to try and use her as a sacrifice since she would be such a good one apparently. The next two years were good as kidflash and aqualad joined. She never met aqualad but she met kidmouth and was partial to him. This was to Charlotte a life worth living now.
