When the Leaguers went to see how Omen was doing he was silent, as were the young heroes. Not long after the Leaguers walked in Omen suddenly stood up and they were all a bit surprised. Omen looked completely normal again and he had his usual neutral expression on his face.

"I'm going back to my hideout." Omen jumped over the couch and began to walk towards the zeta tubes, he was to tired to disappear. Then Megan grabbed his arm and Omen mentally sighed, "What is it this time?"

Kid Flash gave Omen a strange look, "Did you really think we'd just let you go after all of that?"

Omen got his arm out of Megan's grip and looked at the group, "What are you going to do, follow me or something, I can't stay here. I also can't stay at the watch tower or something so what the hell is your plan here?"

When none of them answered and a few of them smiled innocently Omen sighed, "You're going to follow me aren't you?" They all nodded and he seriously wondered if it was too late to slit his throat with his knife. He sighed in defeat, "Fine, I'm too fucking tired for this, just hurry up because I'm not waiting."

The heroes followed Omen to the zeta tubes and as the zeta tubes announced their departure Omen laughed.

Superboy- At least he can keep his underwear in his pants (Superman)

Miss Martian- Extraterrestrial (the song)

Kid Flash- The yellow blur with a big mouth

Artemis- The barbie with an attitude

Aqualad- Flounder the fish

Robin- The lucky bird

They all wished that they could be angry at Omen but they couldn't be, his laugh was genuine and just made them happy. Omen calmed down soon enough and he jumped onto the roof of a nearby building. He was thankful that his hideout wasn't too far away, the heroes managed to get on the roof and Omen ran across them.

A few of them could easily run with him and not almost die from the jumps the martians had to help the people that couldn't. Once they got to the woods Omen lead them through it until he got to a specific patch of grass. They all wondered what the hell they were doing there when Omen walked over to a nearby tree.

He slid a hidden panel out of the way and revealed a keypad, he hid the combination he typed in and a secret hatch opened in the ground. Omen put his hand on it and there was a small green flash before it opened and Omen looked at the group of heroes. "Watch your step."

Then Omen took a small jump and he ended up right where the open hatch was before he fell. Everyone felt their hearts stop and once Omen landed he called up to the freaked out heroes, "Hurry up!"

The heroes sighed in relief before they started making their way to where Omen was. Once they were all there Omen pressed a button and the hatch closed as the lights turned on. The hatch was covered once again and so was the keypad, Omen quickly turned and he opened a metal sliding door.

The heroes were a bit surprised when they looked around, it was like a normal home but underground. There was a small kitchen, a living room that even had a TV, a bathroom behind another metal door, and several other doors that lead to various rooms. Omen turned to look at the heroes, "Welcome to my hideout, please don't break anything or I will be pissed."

"Other then that I don't really care, the bathroom is to your left, there's a hallway with doors ahead of you. Four of them lead to different bedrooms and the one at the very end leads to my training room. The door farthest away on the left leads to my room, don't go in there, the other three are free."

"There are two couches that people can sleep on and I'm pretty sure I've got something else people can sleep on if you're planning on staying the whole night. I have no clue why you'd want to but I have no idea what runs through your minds. There's food if you're hungry, I don't care if you clear out the whole kitchen as long as you don't make a mess. Have fun."

Omen sat on one of the couches and watched a random show while everyone looked around. None of them had any idea how Omen had done all of this but they didn't question it. Omen had made it clear that he wasn't normal, he was a mysterious dead teenager that had a lot of secrets.

The team joined Omen on the two couches and Kid Flash looked at Omen curiously. "So you're seriously okay with us staying here tonight if we want to?"

Omen shrugged, "I don't really give a damn, I have no idea why you'd want to though."

Megan looked sad, "You tried to kill yourself."

Omen shrugged, "What else is new?" Omen sounded completely indifferent to the fact that he tried to end his life.

Aqualad's eyes narrowed, "Have you tried to do that before?"

Omen didn't even look away from the TV, "Yup, I'm not telling you how though."

Artemis glared at Omen, "You do realize that Megan can just look into your mind right?"

Omen smirked, "You can try, it probably won't work though, Manhunter can attest to that." Omen didn't give them time to look shocked as he changed the subject. "Alright then, if anyone's staying then please tell me now, if you're not then please vacate the haunt."

Robin looked slightly confused, "The haunt?"

Omen smirked, "This place is haunted because I'm here." A few people facepalmed and Omen continued to smirk, "So who's walking away from the haunted house?" When no one made a move to leave for a minute Omen shrugged, "Okay then. Everyone find somewhere to sleep, I've got an extra mattress somewhere if it's needed and don't ask why."

Omen remembered the time he had destroyed his mattress with his ice spikes, that was why he always had an extra. The girls took one room, Superboy and Kaldur took one, and the two speedsters took the other since no one wanted to deal with them. Batman took one couch, Superman took the other, Omen got out the mattress as well as some comfortable mats he hadn't used yet.

Training mats could be comfortable if you knew where to look and Omen always knew where to look. Everyone was out within minutes and the two left over teens were surprised but Omen shrugged. He grabbed his little birds hand and lead him to his room since there was no where else for him to sleep.

Omen decided to transform so he was human and the two laid on the bed. Robin rested his head on Omen's chest and they fell asleep with smiles on their faces.
