Forgotten But Forgiven

Why Me?

Gotham City; August 27th, 6:17 EDT

The sounds of a fight are able to be heard outside an abandoned building. Kaldur is hit hard, his water bearers falling out of his hands as he continues to roll until he hits a garage door hard enough to dent it, the splatters of clay over his dark skin and his short blonde hair instantly give away the identity of his opponent. As he falls to the floor his tattoos stop glowing. Clayface walks past the rest of the Team who are all unconscious and covered in clay like Aqualad. Forcing himself to look up, he sees Clayface's shadow step into the light as he laughs. Then watches as his left hand turns into a square-mace. As Clayface raises his arm to attack, a familiar shadow gets larger as it gets closer to the glass ceiling.

Crashing through the window is Batman, who takes Clayface's full attention, then launches two Batarangs at the villain. Only for them to be absorbed into his arm, for a moment, until they explode and completely destroy his arm. As Batman lands in a crouch before Clayface, the villain strikes once more, but Batman jumps back to avoid the hit. Pulling out a high powered taser that sticks to the right side of Clayface's chest and continues to send electricity through the villain until he loses his form entirely.

Batman's eyes narrow as he stands. Zeroing in on the one person still conscious.

Mount Justice; August 27th, 7:58 EDT

Batman faces the Team as they walk through the Zeta Tube and into the Mountain. "I need to talk to Aqualad. The rest of you hit the showers and head home."

"Head home?" Superboy asks as he raises his arms, gesturing to the Cave, an annoyed look on his features. "I am home."

Artemis rushed to the showers before anyone else said something. After she was done, she put on her normal clothes and got out of there, feeling like a failure.

Gotham City; August 27th, 9:06 EDT

Once Nina got home, she immediately jumped on the couch with her face buried into the pillows. Erik watched her from behind his book, knowing it was a bad morning.

"Do you want to talk about it?" He didn't get an answer from the girl but he continued to talk anyways, "No? Ok well I'll talk then... This is new and different for you. You can't expect it to be smooth especially when you guys are still trying to get to know one other. You know how the X-men work because you grow up with them but these teens are still learning, growing and need to find a way to build their way up into a team. Just give it time and it will get better with time."

"....Thanks papa."

Erik put down his book and paper work, grabbed a blanket and placed it on her, "Get some rest, mały wilk."

Nina fell asleep but still had a bad feeling. After a few hours of sleep Nina got up, shower, took care of some of the animals that lived in the apartment and got busy with the computer and a few broken arrows.

Erik ss downstairs looking at a photo and an address, it's time for Nina to learn who her birth family is.

"Hey sweetie are you busy?" Erik said by her room. Nina, sitting with her back to the TV, assembling one of her arrows and messing around with her laptop, what looks to be highly sensitive information. It tells Erik that Nina spends way too much time with her Aunt Raven and looking up, well everything on the net.

Nina smiled and closed her laptop to speak to him, "Not really. What's up?"

"Get dressed. I have a surprise for you."

"Cool!" Nina went to her big closet filled with clothes, each piece was from around the world. But since it was getting a little chilly she dresses warmly but comfortable with a cute hat.
