The Daughter's Diary

Chapter 7: Children

Maris didn't really know who all the crazy kids were. M'gann saw them come in and instantly went by their side, "Hi, I'm so happy you're here."

The 10 year old girl remembered her, because she was at the watchtower too. M'gann hugged Maris, even though the little girl barely knew her. M'gann started hugging Dick and Zatanna, too.

The martian started to call someone's name, "Kailin, can you come here?"

A girl with jet black hair, green eyes, and freckles on her rosy cheeks came next to M'gann, "What is it mom?"

"Do you mind showing Maris to the other kids."

Kailin scanned the young homo magi from head to toe, "Uh, sure."

Zatanna knelt next to Maris, "Are you okay going with Kailin?"

"I guess," Maris said.

Kailin led the way and Maris followed right behind her. The super powered kids were huddled around in the open backyard space. Maris was finally at view point from all the other kids. All they did was cease and stared at her. Kailin cleared her throat, "Guys, this is Maris."

She fidgeted her hands, "Hi."

Wesley scratched the back of his head, "Your name's Maris? I thought-HEY!"

Jeptur hits his gut and gives Wesley a look. Amistad starts to clear his throat to get everyone's attention, "Hi, my name's Amistad."

Amistad has short black hair with shiny brown eyes. All of them started introducing themselves. Wesley, the thirteen year old with chestnut auburn red hair shade and bright blue eyes and invert dimple, apologized for his outburst. The tornado twins came behind the older teens and looked at Maris all puzzled.

The boy said, "Hi, I'm Aaron."

"My name's Abigail, but you can call me Abi," the girl next to him chimed.

Maris was still shy because she doesn't remember meeting them before, but she can sense that they've met her. Maybe all they can see is Mary Ella, Maris thought. The young girl played along, "Okay, so far I've met Abi, Aaron, Wesley, Jeptur, and Amistad."

A shy boy creeped in next to Maris, "I think you missed me."

She scratched her head, "Oh sorry."

"It's okay, my name's Johnny," he smiled.

Johnny had the looks of black hair with bondi blue eyes and dimples when he smiled. Kailin added, "And those two over there with our parents are the youngest. His name's Josh and her name's Ariel."

"Are you all related?" Maris asked.

Abi laughed, "Do we look like we could make it out as siblings?"

"I think it's just a miracle we make it out as friends," Aaron added while he still chuckled with his sister.

Maris smiled and laughed with the others. She's still trying to get use to her life, even though her heart was racing faster and faster being with them. In her corner of peripheral view, she could see Dick coming their way.

Dick came behind her and tickled her sides for a short time until he could see the big smile on Maris's face. He did it because her smile made him smile, too, "So what are you kids doing?"

"Well we were playing tag," Aaron answered.

Johnny said, "It's kind of unfair when someone has superspeed."

"Superspeed?" Maris quered.

Jeptur scratched the back of his head, "Uncle Dick, can we talk like this in front of her?"

Dick laughed, "Yeah, she has powers too."

Abi sped next to her, "She does?!"

The homo magi felt claustrophobic with a really hyperactive speedster on her shoulder, "Uh, yeah. I can do stuff by saying words backwards."

Kailin asked the question hesitantly, "Like aunt Zee?"

"Yeah, like aunt Zee." Dick answered.

"Now can we play tag?"

Richard patted the back of Maris's back, "Yeah, you guys go for it."

The hero went back with his other friends, so they could all speculate their children. And of course, Aaron was the first one to yell "tag" and touch Maris on the shoulder. She was about to touch Abi, but she was already gone from her original spot. Her next choice would've been Kailin, but she looked like she dense shifted unto the ground until she was gone. Johnny, Jeptur, and Amistad were gone too. And Wesley just sat down because he didn't really like playing the game at all.

She darted towards the bushes because she thought she saw someone. And her assumptions were right. Amistad jolted upwards into the air before she ever had the chance to touch him. A smirk quickly opened on her lips, "I can fly too."

She started to chant, "Etativil!"

Her flight was still a little bit rough, but for the most part it's all good. Maris finally bumped into him and giggled, "You're it!"

Amistad didn't really see it coming, because he's always used to having the air as his advantage. The other adults were sitting there and watching the game too. She knew the spell would ware off soon, so she tried to get a good landing. It kind of ended with her doing a cartwheel and landing in some bushes. She didn't get hurt or anything, but it just looked like it.

Zatanna and Dick were instantly on their feet. Both of them asked in unison, "Are you alright?!"

She got out of the bush laughing, "That was fun!"

The acrobat and the magician started to breath normal again. Well, their heart was still beating fast, but their friends said it was normal. All of the families stayed at the West residence longer than they expected. Although, all of them went home right after dinner.

Maris had the most fun because she found out that there were other kids that were around the same age as her with powers beyond compared. The car ride home was a little quite until she said, "The way they used their powers makes it look like it was more like a blessing than a curse."

Zatanna smiled and looked back at her, "Because it is a blessing."

"And powers like that are never worthless," Dick added, "but I think you already know that."

She didn't know what else to say, so she nodded.

...

Soon, it was time to sleep. And even though Dick and Zatanna just got into being parents again, it felt like they've been doing all these actions for years now since she's back. Well, they're still hesitant in their mind if she really is back.

Never the less, they tucked her in bed and said good night. Dick and Zatanna still had to think of what sleeping arrangment they were going to do, but they'll come up on an answer sooner on later.

"You know, it's either the guest bedroom, the couch, or my bed," the ebony haired man leaned on the door frame.

"We're still not married."

Dick shrugged, "I know."

She huffed, "You already know that there's only one choice I would pick."

"Yeah I do."

"Fine, but no sex."

Dick could only laugh, but he was kind of looking for it.

...

It was a quarter past three at night. Everyone was asleep, until a faint glow came from Maris's room. It glowed red from time to time, but it soon became often. The scar on her neck started to open up a little as some kind of small device came out.

Her eyes were still helplessly asleep, but her body was wide awake. She walked out of her bed wistfully and carefully. The object on her neck was still glowing as she walked straight out of the house with just her pajamas.

Her motives and her actions felt like she was under control.
