The Tale of Black Jaguar (Young Justice Fanfic)

meet the league

After robin changed the bandages, he helped me back to the main area and I sat on a couch. The rest of the teens came in a few minutes later.

"I don't believe you have met use yet, well, formerly anyway." Said robin. "You can call me robin, if you haven't figured it out yet."

"I'm kid flash, and-" but he was cut off by a girl, "don't pay much mind to kid idiot here, his mouth is faster than his feet. I'm Artemis by the way."

"And I am miss Martian or m'gann, but you can call me Megan, because it's an earth name."

"My name is aqualad, it is nice to meet you."

The only person to not have spoken is the boy with the S symbol, it looked familiar though, I have studied books written on alien culture and I Can almost recognize the symbol, but I can't quite remember.

I looked at the boy expectantly, he had his arms crossed and he looked a little moody. "I'm superboy." He grumbled.

Jeez, what crawled up his butt and died? Not that I would ever say that out loud...

"So, what's your name?" Asked Megan.

I hesitated briefly, but then answered, "you may call me black jaguar."

"Well, jaguar, now that we have introductions over, I have a question. Why were you at McCoy's mansion? As a hostage no less?" Robin inquired.

But before I could answer his question, a robotic voice announced the arrival of three people, apparently called 'batman', 'black canary', and 'red tornado'.

When they walked into the room, I couldn't help but feel a spike of fear.

Remember how I said that I'm afraid of adults? Well, I wasn't lying.

What if they take me back? I can't return to the clan. I'd rather go back to the cage, at least in there I won't be beat for disrespect and disobedience.

I can't ever go back.

I won't ever go back.

They can't make me.

It was easy to assume the names of each adult, the dark-costumed, seemingly emotionless man is the batman; the red machine must be red tornado; and that leaves the blonde haired female to be black canary.

"Aqualad told us there was a situation to be dealt with." Batman said. "We came as soon as possible."

I was sitting on the couch with my legs crossed, I had curled up as small as possible while I looked at my lap and glanced up every once and a while as robin described exactly what happened earlier, from arriving to leaving the mansion.

Batman turned his focus on me, "So you go by black jaguar?"

I nodded, looking up at him but not making eye contact. not that I could, considering we both wore masks.

"How long were you trapped there?" He asked.

"About 6 months." I said quietly. This is really putting me on edge.
"Why was he holding you captive? What was his propose?"

"The same reason he had for buying the other animals. He found enjoyment in it."

After I said that, both canary and batman looked angry in their own ways. Did I say something wrong? Is their anger directed at me? I hope not.

But it faded as soon as it began and they became nonchalant once again.

I shifted uncomfortably at the brief silence

"Team, can you leave for a minute?" Requested canary.

Panic sliced through me.

"That's not fair!" Kid flash protested.
