Author's Note:

Hey guys~! So as you can tell, I've been like, working vigorously on this! I'm so sorry that I'm neglecting my BMWW story, but right now this one has caught my full attention and ideas are just springing up like cray cray. I know I've said that like eight times, but I just need to make sure that you guys are informed...

Thanks everyone for reading and I hope you continue to enjoy this WONDERFUL story!

DISCLAIMER: I HATE WRITING THESE SO YOU GET THE POINT. BUT IF I OWNED THEM, WE ALL KNOW HOW THIS WOULD HAVE TURNED OUT...

The HOJ

She gave him a sweet smile, Wally's face only making her want to ball over laughing.

"Ok… well 'Scarlet' I think that you're supposed to report to the Hall's meeting room." He turned around to leave her in his dust, but before he could take a step, Katherine spoke up.

"Kid Flash… can you take me there? I'm still unfamiliar with the Hall Of Justice."

He turned and faced her, Katherine thought that just his normal face was cute and funny. His green eyes made her melt.

"Fine. Under one condition… tell me why you're wearing the Flash insignia on your chest?" He pointed accusingly towards her where the lightning bolt cut her upper body in half.

"Well…" Katherine looked down at her costume, "I have speed and other abilities."

She could tell that Wally cocked an eye brown underneath his mask.

"Really…?" I bet you can't keep up?" She couldn't believe he just challenged her! Katherine never turned down a direct challenge to her face, but how could she accept? She didn't know how to control her abilities, for heaven's sake, she doesn't even know the extent of them!

"Sorry, Kid, not happening, but I'll take up on your offer later?" To make her statement sound a little more true, she added a hint of smugness.

Kid Flash crossed his arms across his chest covering up his symbol. He didn't say anything while moments of awkward silence passed.

"Well… are you going to show me the way or am I going to have to look for it myself?" Katherine too crossed her arms the same exact way that Wally did to mock him. She pouted and her light pink lips showed it.

Not being able to bare Kid Flash's scrutinizing stare, she walked around and passed him. Obviously the Katherine Summers effect was not working on him…

She felt the gust of wind and Wally started walking next to her. She didn't know what to say so the silence prolonged.

Wally just kept looking at her, trying to place a finger where he's seen her before.

"So tell me… why hasn't Batman been able to detect your 'outbreak', or so he calls it?" he arches his neck enough to see Katherine behind the shade of her hair.

She pushes it back by running five fingers though her tangled strands.

She didn't know how to answer, being truthful about this would tell him her secret. Reminding herself that telling him will give a chance to endanger not only Wally and the rest of the team, but her too, making Katherine realize that the truth, in this scenario, would literally stab them in the back later.

"Its called staying under the radar." Holding her straight face was crucial. She didn't dare spare a glance at him.

Without even looking, Katherine could tell that he was unconvinced. It was a stupid response, nothing can be hidden from the Dark Knight, the Caped Crusader of Gotham, the shadow seeker of the night. It was proven time, and time again that nothing is kept a secret for long when the Batman is around. And he knew it better than she ever would.

"I'm sure that once I'm settled into my new position, everything will be explained thoroughly to the team." That was a big fat lie and Katherine knew it. She just hoped it didn't sound as pathetic as it actually was. "I would have thought Batman briefed you on this…?" Adding a hint of innocents will hopefully seal the deal.

Wally turned right down a corner and Katherine followed close behind.

With her enhanced hearing, she could faintly make out the sounds of talking.

Deciding to show that she does have some sort of metahuman abilities other than running, which that too he hasn't see, she asked, no, matter-of-factly stated, "The meeting room's that one?"

She pointed at the fourth door down the hall.

"Yes." There was the obvious surprise in his voice.

She continued to walk down the hall now with him tailing her. The door slid open for them to walk though.

Present in the room was Batman, Nightwing, The Flash, and the surprising member, Red Arrow. All were standing beside the long oval shaped table with JL engraved in the middle. Red Arrow, as Katherine was not for a second phased by, was irritated shitless and slouching in one of the meeting chairs.

Kid Flash's and her arrival slightly stirred the strained air in the room.

Red Arrow gave Katherine a long interested glance. She couldn't help but notice the spark of recognition between the slits in his mask.

Wally speeded over to the left side of his mentor crossing his arms across his chest unconsciously crossing them the same exact way Barry crossed his. Eerie.

Katherine walked over to the part of the room sparse with heroes.

Not a single word was spoken, the silence became uncanny, feeling the absolute need to say something, she stated the first thing on her mind, "I'm sorry I'm late, I kinda got lost around the HOJ (Hall Of Justice)…" she rubbed her left arm feeling very uncomfortable.

"A rookie? This is the newest member to my core?" she could feel the unwelcoming vibe of hostility rolling off of the Batman's first Robin.

Katherine felt slightly deflated… what was she supposed to do? Hack into the computer system and figure out the fastest and most direct route to one of the many rooms that this 'meeting' could have been held in?

"Weren't you a rookie when you first received command of this squad?" Batman firmly replied to Nightwing's disapproval.

Barry finally broke the tense silence that followed, "She won't be on the field, only helping behind the scenes and learning along the way. Since the League has assigned your current mission, relating to alter-dimensions, she will be the best recruit for the job. She understands this unexplored section of science the best and her charisma for it will only help benefit your undertaking."

Wally continued to stay silent, which was extremely unusual, for Katherine has become accustom to a Wally who would never stop talking. Maybe the real world of the Justice League is slightly different from the Justice League she has come to love with all her heart.

Katherine could feel the hot glances of Roy Harper on her face. What was so interesting about herself that made him hit the roof? It must be that spark of recognition she saw in his eyes when she first walked in.

"This meeting is adjourned. The rest of the squad will inform you about their most recent mission and anything else that is necessary." Batman swiftly moved, his cape draping behind him dramatically. He stopped by the entrance of the door and paused for a moment before he spoke again, "I don't feel the need to baby your team, Nightwing." Ice laced his words while he and slid out the door.

The Flash looked at his student, ruffled his crazy red hair, and followed suit exiting the room speeding off.

"Ok then! While the nerves of the first time meet are gone… why don't I have my brand new teamie introduce herself!" His upbeat mood always seemed to bring a smile to her face no matter how much she tried to conceal it.

He sped over to Katherine's side and placed an arm around her shoulders.

She felt uncomfortable being held like this, her hands were behind her back and she was biting her lower lip.

"I'm Scarlet." Hesitantly she looked up to meet the gaze of Red Arrow and Nightwing.

Dick still looked unwilling to budge and Roy seemed to be searching for something on Katherine's face.

With the following silence, Katherine could see Dick had a sudden change in expression, he touched his earpiece and released it after a few moments, "I'm going to the Batcave. You two, brief her on the mission." With that, he bolted out of the door.

Katherine frowned at herself. She didn't hear anything come out of his intercom, he faked his excuse to escape. Was she that rookie-looking? Did he hate her presence that much?

Ok, that's it for today, and I'll be updating tomorrow also, please tune in to find out what happens!
