THANKS FOR ALL THE SUPPORT FOR THIS STORY. SORRY THAT IT HAS TAKEN ME SO LONG TO GET THIS CHAPTER UP AS LIFE GOT IN THE WAY. PLUS I HAD A NASTY REVIEW FROM SOMEONE WHO DIDN'T EVEN SIGN IN SAYING THAT I SHOULD GIVE UP MY WRITING BASED ONT THE FACT THAT I WAS RUNNING OUT OF IDEAS. THAT PUT ME IN A BIT OF DEPRESSION STATE. BUT I GOT OUT OF IT AND STILL WRITING AND I WILL ALWAYS BE WRITING.
I DO NOT OWN DC OR YOUNG JUSTICE.
Chapter 6
Three weeks had passed since Mehira has started her training with Flash and Batman. So far the young speedster was a fast learner. She had all ready master how to stop and start on a dine. Batman was impressed with Mehira's fighting skills. But then again she was the goddaughter of two master assassin who taught her how to defend herself.
The Dark Knight was still a little upset that the 8 year old daughter of two Avengers knew who he was under the mask but he knew that Mehira wouldn't tell anyone who Batman really was.
Flash and Batman along with Hank and Janet thought that it would be a good idea for her to meet some of the other proteges of the League members. So far it was only Aqualad and Speedy. Hank was apprehensive of his daughter meeting the 11 year old slightly rebel sidekick of Green Arrow but his wife had told him that Flash and Green Arrow would not be far off when they met. It wasn't that Hank didn't trust Speedy as he had never met the young archer, it was the fact that he was scared that his daughter would pick up some of Speedy's preteen attitude.
So a month after Mehira starting her training with Flash and Batman she was going to met Green Arrow and Speedy. Mehira was dressed in her Lighting Bug outfit and was waiting on one of the rooftops with Flash.
"So is Green Arrow always late?" Mehira asked as she sat down on the roof of the building. The Emerald Archer was late by 10 minutes.
Flash rolled his eyes. It seemed that Mehira also developed the impatience of being a speedster. "Green Arrow's probably trying to take down a bad guy." Flash told the little girl.
"Or more likely I had to drag Speedy out of bed." The Voice of Green Arrow said from behind them along with growl that sound like it came from a teenager or close to it.
"I'm not the one who was flirting with Black Canary when you knew that we had to meet Flash and some little kid who is going to annoy me to death and that probably can't even fight." Speedy growled out. He was not happy that Ollie had dragged him out in the middle of the night when it wasn't for doing patrols to meet some wanna be speedster.
The next thing Speedy knew after saying that comment he was on the floor looking at said annoying little kid who had a smug smile on her face.
"Whose the one that can't fight?" Mehira said with a innocent tone to her voice.
Speedy growled again at the thought of an 8 year old taking him out. He wasn't going to fight a little kid but he was amazed that said little kid was able to sneak up on him and take him down. Maybe she wouldn't be that annoying.
"Speedy, why don't you and Lighting Bug hang out here for a little bit and get to know each other while Flash and I talk about some things and do a bit of paroling?" Green Arrow told his son/sidekick.
Speedy nodded his head as he knew that this was one of the things that he shouldn't argue with. At least not in front of a 8 year old.
A few minutes later, Speedy and Mehira were starting to talk after their mentors left to patrol the city.
"So how did you ever become Flash's sidekick?" Speedy asked as he knew that Flash and his Wife didn't have any kids nor did they have any nieces or nephews.
"Let's just say it was a stroke of luck that I got my powers when I went into a room that I was told to stay out of by my goduncle. My parents are somewhat pacifists or at least my father is one. When my speed powers started to delvelop, my parents knew that they would need help. So they after much arguing decided to contact Flash and have him train me. As for being Flash's sidekick, that remains to be seen. I think Flash is just trying to get me to meet other Heroes my age or at least ones that haven't hit teen years." Mehira told the red haired archer.
Speedy looked at the young speedster and realized that she was hiding something but would let it go for the moment due to the fact that he for some reason was starting to like the kid in front of him. She had spunk and Speedy could tell that she wasn't afraid to voice her option when the time came for it.
"So what's it like working with Green Arrow? I hear he can be a pit of a pain." Mehira asked with a grin on her face that spelled trouble and curiosity
Oh yeah, Roy was going to like her.
The two sidekicks talked throughout the night. Neither one letting the other one know who they were under their mask and in Mehira's case she didn't let Speedy know that she was the daughter of two Avengers for fear of how the archer would react.
Soon, Flash and Green Arrow arrived back at the rooftop to see their apprentices talking to each other in a civil manner. Green Arrow was sure that his sidekick was going to kill an 8 year old that got the best of him but he was shocked at how well the two young heroes were doing.
"So did the two of you have a nice chat?" Flash asked.
"Yep. I learned a lot about Speedy and he learned a lot about me. I wouldn't mind talking with him again sometime." Mehira told her mentor with a smile.
"That's good because when Speedy met Robin, he shot several pointed arrows at Robin for his mouth." Green Arrow pointed out as he was glad that there wasn't a repeat of Robin and Speedy's meeting.
"Come on Kid. Let's go home. We will see you two archer later." Flash said as he and Mehira headed back to Central City and in Mehira's case New York City.
A few minutes later after leaving the Rooftop that help the Star City heroes, Flash and Mehira arrived at the estate that was home to Avengers. The two speedsters went in a secret doorway. Once they were in the estate they were greeted by Janet Pym who was being the mother hen that she was normally when her daughter would be out late at night. Granted she was out which a adult bit that didn't stop her from worrying as a mother should.
"So how did your meeting with the Archers go?" Janet asked as she was curious about her daughter's life with a member of the Justice League.
"It was great mom. I met Green Arrow and Speedy who has a slight attitude problem but so do other archers." Mehira told her mother with the same grin she had on her face when she said goodbye to Speedy.
"So true on that dear." Janet replied as she knew that Hawkeye had a attitude problem but was always there for his team.
"Mom, there is something that I want to talk to you about but I am not sure how I want to say it." Mehira told her mother. She knew that she wanted to do what she wanted to talk to her mother about but was unsure of her mother and father's reaction.
"What is it honey?"
"I want to work with Flash full time. I want to be his sidekick. Now before you go off and say no. I want you to know that I thought about this and you and daddy both have been trying to bridge the gaps between the Justice League and The Avengers and what better way to do that than have the daughter of an Avenger be part of the Justice League. Of course, the League won't know that I am really the daughter of Ant-Man and Wasp. I was thinking that since Mrs. Allen had red hair like you mom and me that I could pass as a distant relative of The Allens when I was in civilian form or when the League meets and we if we have to introduce ourselves." Mehira told her mother who was looking at her.
"Honey..."
"Mom, I thought about this for a long time. Ever since I got my speed powers and I started training with Flash and Batman. Mom, I know that you want to keep me safe but there is a sidekick that is 2 years younger than me out there fighting crime and one that is 3 years older than me fighting crime. But I need to get out and see the world. If I can help bring the Justice League and The Avengers together even if it is only on speaking terms than I have to try. We could save more lives if we all worked together." Mehira told her mother. She knew that Flash was listening to her but choose to say quiet as he didn't want to interfere with her and her mother.
"Mehira, Honey, do you know what you are asking of yourself and of me and your father?" Janet asked her daughter.
"Mom, I know that it's going to be hard for you to accept that I want to a Justice Leaguer's sidekick but you always told me to follow what I believe in. Well, I believe that I can help the Justice League. Besides I've seen how protective Flash is of his wife and I know that he wouldn't let any thing happen to me. Besides I would only be a sidekick on the weekends and after school when I get my home work done." Mehira told her mother.
Janet looked at her daughter who had shown so much maturity for her age. She was truly her father's daughter. Janet let the words that her daughter had just said sink in. Flash really was the only one that could help Mehira and the older speedster did say that he wouldn't let anything happen to her. Plus it would be training outside of the Avengers something that Mehira really needed.
"I have to talk to your father about this arrangement but I am for it under the circumstances that Flash is with you at all times when being his sidekick."
"Wasp, I would never let anything happen to Mehira. Plus you haven't seen my wife use her frying pan on a thief that broke into out house. Let's just say that thief was the one who was calling for help after my wife got through with him." Flash told the bus themed Avenger.
Janet smiled at the mental image of the Reporter knocking someone out with a frying pan. Iris Allen sounded like someone that Janet would get along with great.
"Let me go talk to my husband and get his input. Please wait right here for a few moments." The red head told her daughter and League member as she left the room to head to her husband's lab.
Next chapter Mehira finds out what her parents say. And meets Aqualad. Let's just say the meeting does not go as planed and involves a rescue.
Ideas would be great as I need them. Thanks
REVIEWS WOULD BE WONDERFUL.
