Conner: TohruOrihime doesn't own any Young Justice.
Chapter 7
(Maya's POV)
"You want me to join Young Justice?" I asked a little over whelmed.
"Yes, I think you can do this, I mean you seem to have control over you powers but we don't know the extent of your powers so I want to see how far they will go." confirmed Batman.
"You don't think I could possess more powers do you?" I said wondering if that was even possible.
"You may possess more we have never experienced anyone with your abilities," added Robin.
"I see, but will the league be OK with it. I mean I hurt Canary and Manhunter. I didn't mean to but I refuse to go anywhere if I am to be tested on. I said stiff.
"We won't allow any tests to be run if you want any, Maya we're on your side." said Batman putting his hand on my shoulder.
I thought about it for a moment, "Alright, but the house I'm staying with...I don't want Bruce, Dick, or Alfred hurt, and I can't tell them who I am." I said.
"You can stay at the mountain if need be, but I can explain to Mr. Wayne that you have to be in our custody just in case Joker comes for you. Though legally you are now his daughter." explained Batman.
"Does that mean, I can visit them at times," I said brightly.
"Your living at the mountain, you're not a prisoner, explained Robin.
"Thanks, I guess I'd better go pack then, wait will Young Justice even want me there? I mean Red Arrow doesn't seem to like me," I said.
"Red Arrow is a hot head, and the team is expecting to see you again" I said Robin comforting me.
"Oh, I see well then I'll see you tomorrow, Bruce and Dick are leaving in the morning so if you can explain the situation I would appreciate that. Again thank you." I said cheerfully and flew home.
Dick's (POV)
"So it looks like we need Martian Manhunters help right? So they appear as," I was cut off.
"Bruce and Dick, Manhunter can pull that off with Wally as your double," explained Batman.
"I'll notify him now," I said.
The next day Maya's (POV)
"So Mr. Wayne I hope you can understand why she needs to be taken for now," said Batman.
It looks like I was wrong about Bruce being Batman and Dick being Robin. But something doesn't feel right...
"I understand, just keep her safe, I lost her and her family once, I don't want to lose her again" explained Bruce.
"Thank you Alfred, Bruce, and Dick I'll visit went I can," I said hugging them all, and lastly giving Dick a kiss on the cheek.
"What was that for" asked Dick blushing.
"For being there, I'll see you as soon as I can. I promise," I said getting in the Batmobile and leaving my first home.
"While your living with the Team I want you to have glasses like Robin's and keep your identity a secret." ordered Batman.
"Yes sir, ? I said taking this seriously.
"Please don't let anyone know your Maya," he said.
"I couldn't even if I wanted too, whenever I try to introduce myself as Maya it get a needle pain in my head, but now that someone knows my name I can say my name," I explained.
"Joker must have done something. Is there any indication that he did do something to you," asked Batman.
I nodded, "There are blank spots in recent memories over the last couple of years, though they all seemed to stop July 5th" I reponded.
"I heard Bruce Wayne turned the school into some advanced summer school. Heard you went, how did it go?" explained Robin.
"It a great environment. I don't think it's for me. The classes are fine but I'm way to advance for these classes." I said sighing and looking out the window.
"When we reach the mountain, you won't be seeing Zatanna due to her father rethinking about her being part of the team. Artemis will also be with her Mentor for a couple days and I don't know when they'll return. For the time being you will be with Miss Martian, Kald'r, Kid Flash, Superboy and Robin. You are an official member of Young Justice Night Angel B02" said Batman.
"Yeah you would have been B08 or something but due to a glitch in the program B02 remained empty until today," explained Robin.
"That's weird," I said kind of distracted by the mountain. Finally, we had reached our destination.
"I'll drop you two off, today training starts with Canary" Batman said helping me with my three bags and then leaving.
"Shall I show you to your room," asked Robin.
I nodded.
"You should probably change though," he said
"Right I guess I'm just trying to stay whelmed," I said smiling weakly.
"You'll be fine, if you have any questions don't hesitate to ask." said Robin taking my hand and showing me my room.
I blushed.
He is just like Dick, but they're not the same person so how is that even possible. I wondered.
Robin showed me my room. It was normal but it was bigger than what I expected. I gazed at the room although it was normal, I couldn't help but smile.
"Why are you smiling like that" Robin wondered.
"I don't know, there's just this aura that makes me feel so peaceful," I said turning to Robin. In which it made him blush and smile back.
"You are really something you know that?" He questioned composing himself.
"Why?" I tilted my head.
"We should go and head to the training area," he said ignoring my question.
I nodded and we headed straight there.
"I consider it an honor to be your teacher, I'll throw a lot at you, everything I've learned from my mentors, and my own bruises" Canary said showing her bandaged arm.
Robin and I entered the room as M'gann asked what had happened to Canary.
"The job. Now combat is about controlling conflict, putting the battle on your terms. You should always be acting, never reacting. I'll need a sparing partner." she said.
"I volunteer" I said walking forward.
"I see so the Angel goes against the bird," she said.
"Is that injury from me, I'm sorry" I said bowing.
"It's ok I should of acted not reacted. You are you ready for round 2?" I asked.
I nodded an stood still.
"Are you not going to guard? You should always have a defense ready." she explained.
I nodded and put my wings in front of my face.
"Come at me," she ordered.
I nodded and charged forward but as she was about to grab my arm thinking I was going to punch straight at her, I jumped over and kicked underneath her causing her to FAIL.
"Nice job acting, always anticipate your opponent's attack," said Canary "Now, who's next" she continued.
"Right here, yeah," said Kid Flash finishing his banana.
He unfortunately continued, "After this, I'll show you my moves"
Canary didn't even hold back and had Kid Mouth on his back in no time flat.
"It hurts so good" Kid Flash groaned.
"Did anyone see what he did wrong." she asked helping him up.
"Oo. Oo. He hit on teacher and got served?" asked Robin cheerfully.
"Dude" said Ki Flash.
I giggled a little.
"Yes, that and..." she was cut off.
"Oh please, I'm a living weapon, it's always on my terms" said Superboy.
"Oh yeah? Prove it," she ordered.
Conner went on and before Canary had time to speak Superboy charged at her. Canary grabbed his arm and sent him flying. FAIL the board read.
"Good you're angry, but-" she was cut off by Superboy as he charged at her and again he was on his back.
Robin started laughing until Kald'r glared and tapped him so he muffled his laughter. I on the other hand ha understood what Superboy was going through.
I remember when I learned to fight one of the teachers I had gotten saw how angry I was at Joker because of all the things he had put me through. The teacher showed me how the channel that anger through fighting. But he had also taught me to fight without that anger blinding me.
I was knocked back into reality as Batman appeared on the screen.
"Batman to the Cave. 5 hours ago, a new enemy attacked Zatara and Black Canary. The attacker was capable of studying then duplicating the powers and abilities of its opponents. They call in back up which nearly proved disastrous as our foe gained more and more power with each new combatant."
"Whoa" everyone said.
"In the end it took Leaguers nearly 4 hours to defeat and dismantle the android." said Batman.
"An android. Who made it TheoMaro?" asked Robin.
I shook my head. "No professor Ivo has his stench all over this, before I left, Joker had been talking about Ivo's latest toy." I explained.
"Ivo? But he's dead" said Kald'r.
"So we thought or at least hoped" said Canary.
"To make sure this threat is permanently neutralized. We're sending a truck carrying parts of the android to different locations. One to New York and the other to Boston for immediate evaluation. We'll have 4 additional decoy trucks to make confusion in case anyone tries to recover the android. You 6 will act as bodyguards and make sure they reach their designated locations.
"So now we take out your trash?" asked a pissed Superboy.
"You had something better to do?" scowled Batman.
"Coordinates received, on our way" said Kaldur and everyone followed leaving myself, Canary, and Connor. As I turned to leave I heard. "Superboy, when you're ready, I'll be here." Superboy scowled and then left.
"He'll come around canary, give him time, I know his frustrations are different but he is like me so the end result will be the same, just be prepared to help him." I assured her.
"How you survived with your sanity while living with Joker is beyond me. How did you do it?" she asked.
"I wish I could tell you, I really do" I said leaving and joining the other.
Later That Day
The groups had split Miss Martian, Aqualad, and Kid Flash in one group. Superboy, Robin and I in the other. The trip was quiet until Robin asked, "If dislike is the opposite to like, is disaster the opposite of aster. See instead of things going wrong they go right!" explained Robin.
After a moment of silence from Superboy
"Clearly you're not feeling the aster. What's wrong?" asked Robin.
"Canary, what business does she have teaching combat skills to a guy with super strength?" asked an angry Superboy.
"Taking out strong guys is part of the gig. Canary learned the hard way, Same with Batman and well...myself." explained Robin.
This didn't help Superboy in the least, and Superboy just sped on ahead. I came next to Robin.
"Robin just focus on the rode" I said speeding up next to Superboy.
"You're not going to tell me some lame excuse are you?" he asked annoyed.
"No, I'm going to tell you I've been in a similar situation, my power...only one person knew about my power when I was a child, and he helped me learn to control it, after that I thought I always had the upper-hand because I was out of everyone's reach, but I found that to be untrue. Not only did I need to learn my power but to learn combat so that if my powers failed me I could at least defend myself. On a side note being angry can be used as a strength all you have to do is make sure it doesn't blind your clear judgment," I explained.
"I think I know what you mean. I th-" he was cut off by the sound of Monkeys.
"Ivo" I growled.
"I hate monkeys" said Superboy.
"Angel, Superboy battle mode" ordered Robin.
I complied but Superboy on the other hand did not.
"Night Angel to Aqualad, Monqi bots are here," I said releasing my wings.
"Same here" said Aqualad sounding bust on the communicator.
The fight began, I flew and kicked off some of the Monqi's. By this time Robin and Superboy were fighting as well. Suddenly I heard Superboy yell. He had been lasered in the eyes and was bring carried into the air.
"I got him," I said flying near him only to be shot at by some lasers. I ignored the pain and destroyed the bots and tried to fly Superboy back onto the truck.
"Angel watch out," said Superboy able to see again. A laser slammed into my back and we both slammed into the truck but I grabbed the edge of the truck and gripped on to Superboy.
"You OK?" I asked.
"Yeah," he said swinging himself to the edge. Finally he climbed back up and I flew into the hole the bots had created and attempted to get the men inside out when I did that I flew back and fought more of the monqi's until we heard the tires pop.
"Get out" yelled Robin helping the driver and they both jumped into the fields, unfortunately for Superboy and I it was to late to jump off so he covered me and we crashed into the ground. I blacked out.
