'Ok, ok. Calm down. Look through old memories.' Tonraq thought to himself as he looked at the group in front of him. The one with the calm, monotone voice, green skin, red eyes, black shirt with a red x, and blue cape.

'Martion Manhunter' The memories from Koda supply as Tonraq continued to look over the group. A blonde man, with orange and green, scale like armor.

'Aquaman' Then a woman in red, gold, and blue armor with a circlet around her forehead, and metal bracers on her forearms.

'Wonder Woman' Then finally the last person who wore all black simply reminiscent of a bat, or some sort of demon thing.

'Batman' Now despite somewhat knowing who these people were I don't really trust people anymore, so you can imagine my refusal to talk and why my fighting stance still remained. The only problem with this situation is that my body was and still is extremely exhausted, but I'm used to hiding my fatigue and pain while continuing to push my body. Using this to my advantage I ignored the pain while remaining firm.

"Calm down, I know you're tired, you really are safe here." The gruff, flat tone of Batman spoke next, as he got the group to back up, and for some reason I let my body relax a little bit. After a couple seconds he moved to the left slightly, I still wanted to keep this distance, so I also moved to the left. Then he stopped, waited, and moved to the right taking the group with him, and I followed the motion now also moving to the right. By the time they stopped they made it to a monitor, all of them turned away from me, seemingly not paying me any attention, I knew that this wasn't the case, but it made me a bit more relaxed.

I waited for a couple more seconds, still observing them before I felt somewhat better about pulling some of my attention away to look around the room. I wasn't particularly interested in anything in the room, but to my delight I did find the rest of my clothes with the things I had on me when I ran. Unfortunately though, it was really close to the group, still out of their reach, but definitely closer to them than I'd like or want to be.

'I feel like this is deliberate, smart, but deliberate.' I thought to myself as I continued to debate on whether or not to make a grab for my things. Eventually, I gathered myself with some energy, and all the experience I had accumulated with sneaking around both my father and animals. I bided my time for a bit longer, waiting for the moment when they all actually became interested in something. When that moment came I moved quickly grabbing my things, while keeping to light and fluid movements, then went back to the opposite side of the room, and sat on the floor to look over my things. As I set my things on the floor in front of me, still a good distance away from the group, my suspicions of the group trying to keep an eye on me were confirmed. Three members of the group were suddenly surprised when their attention came back over to me. I however, ignored that as I looked over my things and put them back on starting with the necklace I got from my brother.

'He was so proud of himself when he gave it to me' I thought to myself as I looked over my shoes, and by the time I got them on and finished checking over my shirt, the same three of the group turned around, so I froze and tensed up, then continued to put my shirt on. When I was done Batman turned as well and walked in front of the others, as he walked I stood up and readied myself incase I needed to fight.

"We need to ask you a few questions." He flatly stated, but I still remained silent while grabbing my coat.

"What is your name?" Wonder Woman asked in a soft, light tone that one would use for a child, as she took a step forward. I tensed again and took a step back ready to fall into the familiarity of a fighting stance, but before anything could escalate Batman gave her a look, which caused her to back down, I relaxed a tad, but I was still very tense.

"You are of the Water Tribe, correct?" He asked and all I gave was a slight nod of my head, as I wondered where he was going with this.

"Do you still have family their?" Was his next question.

'I don't think so, and if I did, I wouldn't consider them as family anyway. The only family I had is dead.' I thought to myself as I made a small "so-so" movement with my head, and he stayed quiet for a moment seeming to analyze my face for more meaning.

"If you did, would you consider them your family?" He asked and I didn't even hesitate to shake my head.

"Did you run?" He asked, and for some reason I was scared to admit that I did run. Even though I didn't move my head to answer he seemed to know it already.

"Are the bruises, strained muscle and ligament in the shoulders, and scarring, the reason you ran?" He asked and yet he already seemed to know the answer, so all I ended up doing was taking another step back and dropped my eyes to the ground in front of me.

"Hmm, well, seeing as your still a minor your going to have to stay with one of us for the time being, or stay here in the tower." This cought me completely off guard, but I still contemplated my choices.

'If I'm being honest, my memories of being Koda are somewhat swaying me to agree, but my memory and instinct of this life are overriding it. I really don't want to take any chances with any of them, but if I go with one of them I have a better chance. For one I'll actually be on earth, if something happens I have the opportunity to run, and what's slightly more important is that I'll have better access to water.' These were my immediate thoughts as I, with a hole lot of reluctance, nodded my head, but doubt and fear still continued to cloud my mind.

"Hmm, well we can decide who you go with after we take care of some things around here." Batman stated leaving no room for argument, as he turned and made the others leave the room first before turning his head back to me.

"Feel free to follow one of us, or wonder the halls on your own." Was all he said before leaving the room as he left the door open. This however only made me even more uncomfortable. Did he actually want me to follow? Was he ok with me to wondering around? Was I even allowed to leave the room? Was I restricted to a certain area if I left the room? Were just some of the questions that flooded my mind, but suddenly there in front of me I saw Unalaq, just calmly standing by the door with a small smile on his face, as he looked to the door then back to me. And suddenly I was calmer, then he began to walk towards the door and out, but I was still too filled with anxiety to follow as he went outside. But soon he popped his head back in with an expecting look on his face, I stayed right where I was for a couple of minutes, but eventually– against every instinct I currently had– I started to walk.
