Pandora~ A Young Justice Fanfiction

The Hunt

Anastasia's POV

"We'll split up, Anastasia and M'gann and Persephone will take the bioship and scan the entire thing from the outside. While Wally and I stay searching inside." We all nod in agreement, but I'm distracted by my two people.

"You ready for this collar to come off?" I ask the thirteen year old smiling as I see how at home she is in her suit even if it is just her everyday clothes vamped up. The only thing is her blue eyes don't match, and I'm itching to change that. "More than ready, I may not have the range Miss. M has when it comes to telepathy, but I'm willing to do anything I can to help."

"You're not worried about controlling it?" I ask one of my hands running through her untamed white blonde hair that folds and stands with no actual part. "No, I'm just going to remind myself the more I seek control the more I will lose it." She gives me a shaky smile, but I think it's because she's happy. It's been more than a month after all.

"Please don't cry." The guys laugh hearing her groan and seeing my expression that's borderline weeping. "I'm just so proud of you." She's blushing now, and trying her best, in typical teenager fashion, to act cool and uninterested. "I'm not promising I'll be perfect."

"We know Perc, screw ups are bound to happen." Dick butts in coming up behind her to undo the collar. "We could give you our lists, but we'd be here all night." She chuckles and Wally musses her hair, but it doesn't look any different than it did before.

The collar clanks to the floor, and she closes her eyes inhaling deeply as I'm sure it jolts her body awake. When she opens them they're back to their beautiful red, and it's like she's complete once again.

"Now are you sure you can handle this?" I ask Wally my hand pressing against the lightning bolt emblem that I won't admit I missed as I glance around the Warworld where I'll have to trust him with Dick. "You don't have to do this."

"I want to, I know how important it is to you too keep this team together, and I want to help. Besides I might of missed the suit just a little bit." Leaning over to kiss him briefly I let my worries wash away because he's just as capable as I am. "Well I've missed looking at you in it-"

"Guys!" Dick shouts face mocking a gag, "save it for the bedroom."

Anastasia's POV

"Anything?"

"Nothing, I'm sorry." M'gann sighs turning around to face me her hands running down her exhausted and drained green face. A few seconds later Percy turns around shaking her head as well. "It's almost like there's no brain activity..."

"Don't think like that." I jump in stopping either of their minds from drifting that far. "Anastasia's right the Warworld is so big, they could easily be out of range." Persephone nods and I mouth a quick thank you in M'gann's direction.

"We've been flying this surface grid pattern for hours, and you're both clearly exhausted-"

"I'm fine. We can do this!" Persephone presses rubbing her eyes trying to wipe away her sleepiness, but when she looks back at me her eyes are not just red but blood shot. "Percy's right, maybe just one more time."

There's no need to over-tax yourself so soon after your kidnapping, M'gann, and Percy you just got your powers back." My eyes hone in on just her my cold eyes matching my sharp glare. "Besides, we're not giving up. We'll go regroup with Wally and Dick."

  "All right. If you think it best." My Martian friend nods, but Percy just slumps back with arms crossed angrily blowing at a choppy piece of hair sticking to her forehead.
