I was on my bed, when Fate came in with two very familiar faces. I frowned, especially when I was told that I would be going with them to meet other heroes. When I said there wasn't a point to it, Fate told me that I would be joining the Young Justice team, which took me a second to understand what he was talking about. When it had finally came to me, I scrambled to my feet.
"You can't be serious? Me. Join a bunch of humans," I scoffed, shaking my head at him
"Dark-Blade." Fate said in his scolding tone
I cringed, crossing my arms I looked away from him and down at the ground. I hate it when he calls me that.
"Batman, and Nightwing are the leaders. They are allowed to call you that, if you have done something wrong. I will meet you there. Change quickly," Fate said, before leaving us
I groaned and changed into my armor, before teleporting Batman, Nightwing and I to where Fate was. I was a bit amused, when I noticed two familiar people. He can't be serious. I looked at Fate, he stared right back at me. Of course he's serious.
"Your skin." Fate said, pointing at my body
I lifted my hand, oh right. I watched as the female Martians eyes changed from curiosity, to fear and then to anger. Her eyes glowed white and I was sent flying into the wall. I couldn't breathe or move. She was pressing on my neck hard,
"Miss M! Stop!" Nightwing shouted
She didn't listen, until Man Hunter told her to stop and that I was protected by the Green Lantern Corps. I dropped to the ground, coughing as I gasped for air. Beast Boy and Impulse both helped me up. But I fell back down when they were pulled away from me.
"Don't go near her Beast boy!" Miss M shouted, holding him tightly and glaring at me
"She won't harm any of you. She has repented-" Fate started
"Her kind has killed thousands! They deserved to be wiped out!" Miss M cut him off, pain in her eyes
I stood up once I caught my breathe, I put my hand on my hip. Looking to Fate, and the rest of the League before looking at the young justice team. Then back to the league,
"Told you she would say that, I mean. Look at how many species I've alone killed. And I haven't even been doing it as long as the rest of my kind. Well...except for one," I smirked, looking at Superboy,
"Dark-Blade." Fate said, eyes narrowing at me
"....sorry. I actually can't kill Kryptonians, including half-breeds," I held my hands up and shrugged
"Do you know who killed her kind?" Robin asked GL
"Yes." GL said (John)
"And they're still alive?" Miss M said, surprised
"Of course, I'm not suicidal," I rolled my eyes
Everyone looked at me in shock, especially the two Hawks and Martians.
"She should be in prison. Not walking about!" Hawk Woman shouted, hand on her mace
"I would have killed everyone in that prison. And no human prison can hold me. Nothing will change that, so they decided I would be reformed into a good guy. I would be a great asset in the future," I rolled my eyes, hand on my hip
"...Her kind, were the most powerful assassins. If any one race would start a war with them, their leaders would be killed instantly without warning or anyone knowing how they got in." Hawk Man told everyone
"How?" Beast Boy asked me, curiously
"She wouldn't tell us anything. It's too dangerous for the Martians to go into her head," GL said, (Hal)
"Hey Da-" Impulse started, but stopped when Nightwing shook his head
"Her name's Nightingale. Dark-Blade is used to remind her, that she's not the same person anymore." Nightwing told the group
"You really want to know how we would always win?" I asked, looking at Impulse
"You'll tell us?!" Beast Boy asked, smiling at me
Impulse tensed up as we locked eyes, in an instant. He was hiding behind Superman, I could smell and feel his fear.
"Nope. I'm good!" Impulse called out from behind Superman
"I want to know," Tigress stepped forward, looking me in the eyes as a challenge
She only flinched and I smirked. This is going to be interesting. I stepped toward her, walking slowly, standing up straight with a crooked smile. Looking at her with love.
"Artemis, I missed you" I held my hand to her cheek
Her body relaxed and she stepped back staring at me in shock and love, a few tears slipped.
"Bang." I pointed my fingers at her head, and she snapped out of it
"Wally...you turned into Wally, but I know-" she started
"I made you think I was him. That I sounded like him, for different species, we would literally, have to change into that person to the last detail." I said, shrugging my shoulders
"So, shape-shifting," Arsenal said, scoffing, unimpressed
"I could become an identical. A twin of anyone I've met. My kind could. Everyone has a weakness. That one person, they let their guards down with. Could be someone living, or someone already dead. It doesn't matter," I looked at him,
"What about you? Do you have someone you care about? That you won't kill?" Black Canary asked me,
"Her kind are heartless. They don't care for anyone, her killing her kind proves it." Man Hunter said, his fist clenched
"There's your answer. No. I don't. If I cared for it, I could kill all of you in this room without sheding a tear or feeling any guilt. Babies, Pregnant women, elders. The sick. None of it matters," I yawned, reverting back to my 'human' look with pajamas,
"Everyone should rest. She will be training with you starting tomorrow," Batman ordered
I opened a portal, stepping through and plopping down on my bed. Stupid Earth Heroes.
