The Siren (A Young Justice Fanfiction) ON HOLD

Chapter 5

Chapter 5 - This isn't a social club!

"Recognized Robin, B-01, Kid Flash,
B-03." The zeta tubes announced as Robin and KF zeta tubed into the HQ. "Hello!" I called, looking at them. They both had smirks on their faces, as usual. "Did you ask him?" "What did he say?" Robin and KF asked Aqualad. "He is arriving now." Aqualad responded, a calm demeanor the only thing detectable in his voice.

"Then what are we waiting for?" KF asked, running away. Aqualad and Robin followed him while Superboy, M'gann and I stood still. After a moment, Superboy walked after them, and M'gann and I followed, her following and me walking. The fake grass angled downward as a slope for us to walk out of the mountain on.

"Red Tornado!" KF called, waving his hand in the air as Red Tornado landed.

"Greetings," Red Tornado said in his robotic voice, "Is there a reason you intercept me outside the cave?" "We hoped you had a mission for us." Aqualad said. "Mission assignments are the Batman's responsibilities." Red Tornado responded.

"But it's been over a week and noth-" "You will be tested soon enough." Red Tornado cut me off.

"For the time being, simply enjoy each others company." Red Tornado said. "But this isn't a social club! We need something to do! If you expect us to help the Justice League when they need it, we need to train!" I argued. "No. But I am told social interactions are an important team building exercise." Red Tornado replied.

"Perhaps you can keep busy by familiarizing yourself with the cave." He said, walking into the cave. I just rolled my eyes. "This is stupid." I muttered.

"Keep busy." KF mimicked, nudging Robin. "Does he think we're falling for this?" Robin asked. "Oh! I'll find out." Miss Martian said excitedly. "M'gann, that was a rhetorical question." She looked at me. "What's a rhetorical question?" She asked, looking very confused. "It's a question that someone asks without expecting an answer." She pondered for a moment before getting it.. "Oh! I don't know many Earth customs; they are confusing!"She said. "That's ok; you have plenty of Mars customs that make you unique. Y'know, like reading minds. Speaking of, do you know what I'm thinking now, babe?" KF flirted. "KF, we all know what you're thinking right now." I said, smacking KF over the side of the head. Ow." He muttered. "And now we tour the club-house." Aqualad said bitterly. "Well, Superboy, Siren and I live here. We can play tour guides." Miss Martian said. "Don't look at me." Superboy said when everyone looked at him and I.

"Well, a private tour sounds much more fun." KF said, looking at Miss Martian and flirting again. "She never said private." "KF, don't be a creep. I like M'gann; I don't want her to quit." I said. "Don't worry, she likes it." KF said. I rolled my eyes. "Seriously, she doesn't!" I exclaimed. We started to argue, before Aqualad interrupted. "We are learning team building. We'll all go and learn, if they want us too." Aqualad said.  We all walked inside. "So, this would be our front door." M'gann said. "I think they all know that." I said, nudging her.

We toured through the whole mountain until stepping out another exit. "And this would be the back." I said. "The cave is actually the whole mountain. "It was hollowed out and reinforced by Superman and Green Lantern in the early days of the League." KF said. "Then why abandon it for the Hall of Justice?" Superboy asked. "The caves location was compromised." Aqualad said. "So they traded it in for a tourist trap?" I asked, still looking around the cave. "Yeah, that makes sense." Superboy said sarcastically. "If the villains know of the cave, we must be on constant alert!" M'gann said.

"The bad guys know we know that they know about the place, so they'd never look here." Robin said, taking Me'gann's hand. "He means, we're hiding in plain sight." KF said, disconnecting their hands. "Ah, that's much clearer." M'gann said, rubbing her head. "I smell smoke." Superboy said bluntly.

Miss Martian gasped. "My cookies!" She exclaimed, flying over to the kitchen. We all followed her as she pulled a tray of burnt, black cookies out of the oven. "I was trying out granny jones recipe from episode 17 of- heh. Never mind." Miss Martian said. "I bet they'd tasted great!" Robin said. "Yeah. He doesn't seem to mind." I said, jabbing a finger at KF. He was shoveling the cookies into his mouth.

"I have a serious metabolism." He said with a mouthful of cookies. "I'll make more?" Miss Martian asked. "It was sweet of you to make them in the first place!" I exclaimed. "Yes." Aqualad said. "Thanks, Siren! Thanks, Aqualad." She said. "We're off duty. Call me Kaldur'Ahm. Actually, my friends call me Kaldur." Aqualad replied. "I'm Wally. See? I already trust you with my secret I.D," KF said. "Unlike dark glasses over here. Batman's forbidden Boy Wonder from telling anyone his real name."

"Mine's no secret! It's M'gann M'orzz. But you can call me Megan. It's an earth name. And I'm on earth now." M'gann said cheerfully. Superboy began to walk away. After a second, Superboy grunted. He turned and stared at M'gann. "Get out of my head!" Superboy yelled. Everyone looked surprised. What's wrong? I don't understand? Everyone on mars communicates telepathically.  Miss Martian said telepathically. We all held our heads in pain. "M'gann, stop. Things are different, here on earth. Here your powers are an extreme invasion of privacy." Aqualad said. "Plus, Cadmus' freaking little G-Gnomes left a bad impression on his brains." KF said, pointing at Superboy. "I- I didn't mean to-" M'gann was cut off by Superboy. "Just stay out." He said angrily, turning and walking away. "I'm sorry, it was a mistake. He'll get over it." I said, side-hugging M'gann
