Chapter 12: Happy Birthday
October 17th
My brain was jumbled the next day because of yesterday's endeavors. I watched my team die right in front of eyes, and I just told Robin I liked him and Dick. Today was the day we got therapy, but I didn't think I needed or at least so I thought. I was called in before C.K.
"Hey Maya" said Canary.
"Hey" I said sitting down normally.
"So what happened that you want to talk about?" she asked.
"More training kicked in from Joker, I cut off my emotions' I said remembering that moment.
"I see, so your not comfortable that...are you?" she asked.
"No, I'll tell you one day, but there is something, when I watched my friends died in front of my eyes I had some flashes of what seemed to be memories. Two people at different times were killed by the Joker. I think it was my parents." I said recalling it.
"But you don't seem upset" she said.
"They are random people who were my parents, I didn't or don't know who they were, so for now I feel nothing and that makes me feel terrible" I said.
"I think it's normal to feel that way, no one is expecting anything from you so don't try to remember, time will help you." said Canary.
"But it's only a matter of time before Joker comes after me and this team, and if he get serious this team won't be ready for him," I said.
"And?" she said wanting me to add on.
"And...and I don't want to lose this team but more importantly my friends." I said.
"Feel better?" she asked.
"kinda, but I hate that for a moment all my memories came back for a second only to have them ripped away from me all over again. Only those deaths and a word remain." I said feeling uncomfortable.
"What is the word?" she asked.
"CADMUS" was all I had to say to receive a shocked reaction from Canary
"What's wrong Canary?" I asked.
"That place is not a good place, until recently it worked on experiments" she explained.
"What? What type of experiments?"I said urging her to continue.
"Just...have Superboy explain it to you, it is not to clear to me," she said. I knew our conversation was then over. But before I left I asked on last question.
"I know I can trust the league, and I do, but the question you led into were not about the simulation. You wanted to see what I knew. Either you know something about me or you need to find out something from me. So my question is when will the league trust me?" I asked and then left the room. I headed to look for C.K unfortunately he left soon after his session, I found him but he was pissed, but I asked him about CADMUS.
"Why do you want to know about that?" He asked stopping in his tracks.
"My memory revealed the name "CADMUS" It might have something to do with me past and if it does, well I-I just want to know is all" I said shrugging.
"CADMUS was a secret lair for experiments for cloning and building weapons, the day those 4 saved me, I became my ow person" said C.K.
"Wait 4? You, Rob, Kal, and freckles are the founders of the team whose the 4th?" I asked.
"Her name was "M." We presume she was killed in the blast, but they never recovered a body. I owe her my life, she brought them to CADMAS" said C.K.
"I see, well then I guess you told me all you can, I see your busy, so I'll see you around C.K." I said sighing.
"You'll find your memories, don't try to force yourself to remember them, they could hurt you in the end." said C.K.
"I'll try. But I want to find out what's wrong with me, then one day I can properly introduce myself." I said leaving and then C.K. Left with sphere. I headed back to the cave, and I waited for the rest of the team to finish their sessions. Artemis was the least affected but seemed on edge, Wally shrugged it off, but we all knew Artemis dying in front of him was traumatic. M'gann was a mess but the session helped calm her down. Robin had told Canary something deep because he was different in a way. Eventually I told the team and Batman about my memories, but nothing came back after that, not one clue on who I was and no one seemed to help me even though I asked.
October 31
"Happy Birthday," I said looking into the mirror. For some reason, I felt this day was just another day. I didn't know the holiday Halloween existed on this day. No one on the team knew it was today so I wasn't really expecting...no I didn't care to get anything, to me my birthday wasn't special. So, to celebrate it would mean nothing. Eventually I put on clothes.
Thank goodness it is Saturday. Isn't there a party going on..oh a dance I mean happening? I thought
Want to go? Thought M'gann.
"Meg, Please don't do that" I said surprised.
"Oh sorry I thought I heard Conner coming but then you asked so I..." she said flustered.
Good going Maya, make the girl feel bad. I thought.
"No it's fine, I should have been prepared" I said making breakfast.
I've gotten sloppy I feel to relaxed here. I should keep my guard up but I don't want too, everything has been going so well lately. Missions have been going smoothly and Joker is still in Arkham. I thought.
"I can make breakfast" insisted M'gann.
"No let me today's a good day" I said smiling.
"Wow, I've never seen you so happy, Miss Birthday Girl!" she shouted.
Right I told her and Arty.
"Meg, shhhh!" I told you and Arty because you asked, but it's not special so don't." I said quietly.
"But, Human culture..." I shook my head.
"Do it for Wally's birthday, but not mine it's just a birthday." I said hoping no one heard.
"Alright" M'gann looking defeated.
"Thanks, I'm gonna go fix the rest of breakfast, so what are you dressing up as?" I asked making bacon.
"A zombie wife, and Conner is going as a mummy, Wally however s a mystery? Said M'gann
"When isn't he?" I giggled.
"So, are you sure you don't want to come with us?" asked M'gann.
"No thank you, I think I'm gonna go see my family tonight but I'll be home later tonight" I said wanting to go to Gotham and do some patrolling.
"That sounds nice, do they know that it is your you-know-what?" she asked.
"No, and birthday's are not that fun to me so…." I said now starting on the eggs.
With that our conversation ended. But the whole team was coming over this morning.
"Recognized Artemis B07, Recognized Kid Flash B04, Recognized Robin B01, Recognized Zatanna B08" read the computer, the last one I didn't expect. I had heard from the team that Robin had shown interest in her, but it's not like I was his girlfriend so it wasn't like I owned him.
"Morning guys," I said handing Conner the plates to set up on the island.
"Smells good," said Wally grabbing a plate and taking almost everything.
"Wally!" shouted the team.
I laughed. "It's OK that was Wally's share" I said revealing the rest of the food.
"As expected, you have everything planned out beautiful" said Wally digging in. Artemis then proceeded to hit him in the head.
I laughed as I finished washing the dishes, and grabbed my plate to join the others.
"Artemis, Zatanna, will you 2 be joining Wally, Conner, and I tonight" asked M'gann.
They nodded when I turned to Artemis I saw her staring at Conner. I grabbed a napkin and brought it under her chin.
"What?" she said pushing me away.
"I thought I'd catch the drool," I said causing her to blush. I found out there was a meeting for Robin and Kal later that night. Th rest of the team would be going to the dance. Breakfast ended and I decided to go to my room and finish my homework, then proceeded to the training room. Kal and Robin were talking to the narcissist. Red Arrow still didn't trust me, but he didn't trust anyone, but the original three side kicks. To my surprise however when I entered the training room I found Zatanna there training.
"Hey" I said calmly not wanting to scare her.
"Hi" she smiled back and we went silent.
How to make things awkward 101. What should I say I don't know but I need to open my mouth and speak. Come on stupid say something.
"So has your dad officially OK's you joining the team?" I said doing some handstand push-ups.
"I don't think he'll ever OK the idea, but if Robin...I mean the team were to kidnap me again, I guess it would be OK" she giggled.
"You and Robin, huh?" I said
"Right, I heard you two have this thing going on. Wally was telling me about it." she explained.
Great. Top of my to do list: Kill Wally.
"Nothing is official, so I can't be mad. If you want to try and get together" I said grabbing some water.
"I don't want to be enemies with you. I..." I cut her off.
"He's not a prize, but a boy. I want to be friends as well. That's why I would not want to rush into things like these. I just let things go with the flow, alright" I said holding out my hand.
"Right," she said grabbing it. Again, another small situation that just happened. Todaywas turning into a weird day. Hopefully I would have a good night. The day continued without much difficulty or talking to anyone. Kal and Rob had left early on with Red Arrow.
He still doesn't like me. I guess I can't really blame him, but one day he'll have to get over it. It's like he's programmed to distrust everyone. That wasn't nice of me huh?
I laughed at myself. Night came at the blink of an eye. Though as I was getting Ready I got two texts.
Maya-
Be sure to come by the house, got a surprise
-Dick
The other
Maya-
Happy Birthday! I heard no one is supposed to know it's you birthday but still HAPPY BIRTHDAY. We'll celebrate it with the rest of the team. Have a nice night ;).
-Robin
They both knew, how funny.
I zeta-tubed over to gotham and started my patrol and later would head over the mansion. Throught out the night not much happened it was pretty normal, well as normal as Gotham could be. But there were no super villians. As I had caught another robber and sent him to the nearest jail. I decided the 14 bad guys gone was a good number to end on. But as I was heading to the house, a home caught my eye.
Robin's (POV)
"She's not the mole, Roy, she wasn't even part of the team yet when you found out about the mole" I said defending Maya.
"I still think she can't be trusted. But it's not my team so..." Roy didn't continue.
"Good your both done, fighting amongst friends is not with losing your friendship over." said Kal.
Then a screen popped up.
"Robin, Red Arrow, and Aqualad I need you 3 to go to Gotham now." ordered Batman.
"Wait! Why? I mean I thought Red and Aqualad weren't allowed in Gotham" I inquired.
"The tracker placed on Night Angel's utility belt shows that she's near the house where her parent's were killed, I think if she remembers anything or everything that happened that night, it could destroy her mental state, I need you 3 to get to her before it's too late" ordered Batman.
"Got it. Let's go, here are the coordinates. We need to get to her now." I said rushing out.
"Wait explain to us at least what's going on?" ordered Roy as we ran for the zeta-tubes.
"About 5 years. Joker slaughtered her parents, right in from of Night Angel, I think as well as Batman that the experience was so traumatizing she forgot what happened and lately she has been remembering images. If the memory of her parents death comes back all at once..." I was cut off.
"We could lose her, if she went into shock," finished Aqualad.
"Wait 5 years ago...the Parkson case...Maya Parkson is Night Angel isn't she?" said Roy figuring it out.
"Yes, the Parkson murder, if you've read the file then you know it wasn't a quick death for either paren. The mother had 2 broken and 3 stab wounds, and the father receive 4 stab wounds, Maya watched both parents I think" Robin said as the zeta-tube took the 3 boys to Gotham.
"This is the nearest zeta-tube, it will take us 20 minutes to get there, let's hurry, we mustn't waste any time," said Aqualad.
Please be safe until I get there Maya, and whatever you do. Don't go into the house until I get there. Bruce didn't even clean the house, he hasn't been able to set a foot into that house. The blood stains are still there so please don't go.
