Chapter 7
Mehira was waiting in the living room for her parent's decision on her being Flash's sidekick. She was really hoping that her parents would let her join Flash. The 8 year old really wanted to build a bridge between the Avengers and The Justice League.
Mehira was brought out of her thoughts when she heard the door open. She looked up to see her father with a smile on his face and it was then that she knew that answer to her question.
"Your mother and I have decided to let you become Flash's sidekick on the weekends. You will still train with the Avengers on your free time and will also still train with Batman and Flash to improve your skills. Your mother and I will pull you out if we feel that you are too much danger for your age. There will be no middle ground on this matter." Hank told his daughter who just raced up to hug him.
"Thanks Daddy. You have no idea what this means to me." Mehira told her father as she hugged the daylights out of him. She knew that there would be somethings that her parents would put into place to keep her safe but she was fine with that.
Hank looked at his daughter and saw that the happiness in her eyes. It hurt him that she wanted to fight but Hank knew that he couldn't force his beliefs on his family. Besides from what he saw of Flash, the speedster would keep his daughter safe and it would do her some good to be around others her own age.
Janet walked in and looked at the scene between father and daughter. All of the Avengers knew of the bond that Mehira and Hank had and how protective Hank was of his daughter.
"Hank, we need to get Mehira ready for her to met Aquaman and Aqualad." Janet told her husband as she covered her ears as her daughter let out a very high pitched squeal at the mentioned of meeting the Atlantians.
Mehira let go of her father and ran to her room so that she could change into her Lighting Bug uniform. She was seriously thinking of changing her hero name to something that was speedster like when she was with Flash and keeping the Lighting Bug name when she was with The Avengers.
Hank let out a groan at the thought of his daughter meeting more boys cause it seemed like none of the Justice League had female sidekicks even the female members of the League didn't have any sidekicks. But from what he knew, Aqualad was only a year older than Mehira.
In less than a minute, Mehira was out of her room dressed in her costume. The 8 year old was excited about being another person her age. She had so many questions to ask The King of Atlantis and his sidekick.
"Come on kid. Let's go." Janet told her daughter as she came into the room dressed in her Wasp costume.
The two red heads headed to the hanger to grab one of the small jets that would take then to the ocean so that they could meet Aquaman and Aqualad.
It took the jet less than three hours to reach the Atlantic Ocean. When the two arrived at the meeting place they saw that Flash, Batman and Green Arrow were there along with Robin and Speedy. Janet figured that the other Heroes wanted everyone to met The Atlantians at that same time. Plus Speedy and Robin were told who Lighting Bug really was in an attempt to build a friendship.
"Glad to see you here." Green Arrow said as he held out his hand to Wasp who took it. He just couldn't believe that the daughter of two Avengers wanted to work with Justice League. But then again this little girl could break the rift that the Avengers and Justice League had. Green Arrow was one of the few that like the Avengers.
Wasp smiled at the green archer. She could tell that Green Arrow had a hard past and wanted to make a difference in his city.
Suddenly out of the water came a muscular blond haired man with a short beard. Beside him was a young boy about 9 or 10 who had dark skin and short white hair. The boy looked a little scared but that was to be excepted since this was Aqualad's first time on the surface.
"Hello, my friends." Aquaman told the group that had gathered. He was also one that new that Flash's new sidekick was the daughter of Avengers and didn't care. He wanted the feud to end as well.
"Hello to you too Aquaman and hello to you to Aqualad." Flash being the one that was always friendly replied.
It took a few moments for Aqualad to get comfortable that the surface world but after Mehira had ran up and introduce herself as Lighting Bug, Aqualad had started to talk to the group of heroes.
"It is nice to meet you." The gilled boy said in a not so sure of himself. He was afraid that he was be treated differently based on who he was much like he was in Atlantis since he wasn't 'pure' in the eyes of many those on the Council.
"So what's it like under the water?" Mehira asked after Robin and Speedy had introduced themselves.
Aqualad looked at the bug themed girl with shock in his eyes. She was treating him like he wasn't an impurity but as a person.
Aqualad smiled at the question as well and started telling the speedster about what was life like under the water.
Soon Robin and Speedy started to get into the conversation once they felt comfortable with the Atlantian. The mentors and mother watched from a slight distance away and all but Batman had smiles on their faces.
Aquaman was concerned that his Sidekick would have been treat like a freak on his first time on the surface but thanks to a young speedster, he was having the time of his life. The King had a feeling that this was that start of a beautiful friendship.
The mentors turned around for a moment to talk when they heard yelling. They turned around to see Robin and Mehira out in the middle of the water with Aqualad trying to rescue them. Speedy fired one of his rope arrows in attempt help but the rope was too short.
Aqualad wasted no time in running towards the water to help Aqualad rescue Robin and Mehira. He saw that Aqualad was struggling to get to the two but was not giving up.
After several minutes, Aqualad managed to make it to where Robin was struggling to stay afloat. He heard Mehira say to grab Robin first as she would be okay. Aqualad did what he was told and swam back to shore with the youngest of the group.
Aquaman was still swimming towards Mehira when he saw his protege with Robin. He knew that Mehira could stay afloat for a few more moments before she would drown. So the King swam faster than he had ever swam before. He could see that Mehira was also trying to swim towards him as well.
By the time Aquaman had reach Mehira she was struggling to keep her head above that water. Aquaman grabbed the 8 year old who had just started to sink below the surface of the water. The Atlantian King swap as fast as he could to the shore where Batman was smacking Robin on the back to get all of the water out his protege's lungs.
Once he reached the shore, Aquaman felt Mehira be taken from his eyes by her mother and put on her side as she was trying exhale all the water from her lungs.
Once the mentors were sure that the kids has calmed down, Wasp turned to Aqualad. "What happened?" She asked in a concerned voice. She knew something had happened that wasn't anyone's fault.
"We found out Aqualad had the ability to control water with his Water Bearers and somehow it got out off control. The water came towards the us and next thing I knew Robin and I were out in the middle of the ocean. It wasn't Aqualad's fault. We asked him to show us what he could do." Mehira told her mother. She didn't want Aqualad to get in trobule for something she and the others had done.
"Is this true?" Batman asked already knowing the answer as he had seen and heard everything.
Robin and Speedy both nodded their head. They had really wanted to see Aqualad use his Water Bearers but like Lighting Bug had said it had gotten out of control.
"Well, I am glad that you all told the truth in this matter. Aqualad, thank you for trying to save my daughter and the same goes to you Aquaman. I can see that Lighting Bug will be safe with you guys and like she told me. She wants to break the rift between The Avengers and The Justice League. Which you all know was cause by some of the Founders do to that incident." Wasp told the group in front of her.
The Justice League members nodded their head. They knew what had caused the fight and rift and the main reason was Superman who had gotten into Captain America's face about the way the Avengers had taken care of their enemies. The Man of Steel didn't say anything about Captain America being a solider in World War 2 as that was a different time. But Superman had commented on something about that killing was wrong and that everyone needed to live.
Steve had replied that there were some people that lost the right to live when they did some of the most horrible things in the world. The fight went on for several hours before Steve lost it and told Superman that he won't know what it was like to be human being that he was from another planet and wasn't human at all and to take his Blue Boy Scout ass somewhere else were people cared.
Needless to say Superman didn't take that comment very well and in anger punched Steve in the face which sent that Super Solider flying into a wall with left a dent. That resulted in the Avengers and the League members that present at the meeting to get into a fight which once again resulted in several heroes getting thrown into walls. The Members of the League that were there and agreed with Superman were Wonder Woman, Martian Manhunter, and Green Lantern. Those 4 made so that no contact would be given between the Avengers and The League. If you had even talked to an Avenger you would have been considered a traitor to the League and kicked out without question.
Superman lost a lot of respect from many members of but stayed apart of the League to protect the world as it was needed. But they wouldn't let Superman's stubborn attitude get in the way of making friends with the Avengers who really were no different than the League. Both the League and The Avengers protected the Earth but each had their own different ways of doing it.
Mehira may be the Daughter Avengers but she wanted to be able to have the world be protected by all the heroes no matter what team they were apart of.
"I hope that you daughter and our young Proteges can mend the rift that was caused by The Founders." Aquaman told Wasp with a smile as he shook her hand again.
"So do I, so do I." Wasp told the Blond King.
"I'll see you this weekend, Lighting Bug. Get ready to meet the Rogues who are not as bad as you think as the Rogues are called the Rogues for a reason." Flash told the two red haired females.
"Looking forward to it." Mehira told the older speedster before waved goodbye to the other people her age. She then headed up to the jet followed by her mother.
The three adult heroes watched as Wasp and her daughter left the area on the Jet that they arrived in.
"I think that Lighting Bug who I know will change her name when she gets confident with being your sidekick will be the one that will break the rift. She doesn't care what team you are on." Green Arrow told Flash. He liked that young speedster from the moment he met her.
"I really hope that Lighting Bug will be able to do what she said she would like to do. I really think that we could benefit with the Avengers working with us." Flash pointed out.
Aquaman and Batman just nodded their heads at what was said. They both knew that Superman was an idiot at times and the time with the Avengers was him really being an idiot.
"Well, we better get back to our cities before The League figures out what is going on." Flash told his teammates.
The heroes that had proteges grabbed them and headed back to their cities waiting for the new day to come.
Next Chapter: The time skip will happen to when they met Superboy and Miss Martian.
