Sorceress Pov
Batman, Red Tornado, Martian Manhunter, and I are standing by the circle when Dinah and Oliver came.
"We came as soon as we heard." Dinah said as they both stood in front of us and I swiped in front of me and a screen of the security footage appeared.
"You need to watch this." I said as I played the footage and we saw 'Black Canary' sparring with Connor. When Canary beat Connor she helped him up.
"Almost had me there, Connor. You deserve a reward." She said and kissed him. He gladly kissed back and both Dinah and Oliver widened their eyes.
"Dinah!" Oliver yelled.
"Freeze playback. That never happened!" Dinah said back.
"You need to keep watching." Batman said.
"Play." The footage continued and once they pulled away, Canary turned back into M'gann. Oliver started laughing.
"Don't you laugh! Oliver! This is not funny!" Dinah yelled and I chuckled lightly.
"No. No, of course not." Oliver said as he stopped laughing.
"Please understand. On Mars, this is a common game. My people all shape shift. But, also read minds. I am certain that Connor knew hewas with M'gann from the very beginning." Manhunter said.
"People on Crystalancia are the same. Well, except for the shape shift part. They can read minds and kissing is their way of showing respect there." I explained and they all looked at me.
"What?" I asked.
"How did you know about Crystalancia? That planet is very far from us." Batman asked and I scratched the back of my neck.
"I need to talk to you about it later." I said and he nodded.
"But we're not on Mars or Crystalancia, J'onn!" Dinah said.
"No. But my niece does not understand that things are different on Earth." J'onn said.
"Then I'll make her understand." Dinah said as she looked down and Batman put a hand on my shoulder.
"We need to talk." He said and I nodded. We went inside one of the rooms here that is sound-proof and we sat on the seats across from each other.
"How did you know about Crystalancia?" He asked again and I sighed.
"Two weeks ago, I found out that my parents are still.....alive and they're ruling Crystalancia. They visited me and they showed me around Crystalancia. They told me that I'm a princess there and I'm needed." I explained.
"What else? Something is bothering you, Galaxia." He said using my real name and I sighed.
"Bruce, they're going to take me. I'll leave Earth on New Year." I said as I looked down and I heard him shift.
"But what about the others? How will they feel when you leave?" He asked and I sighed.
"I don't know. But.....I'm going to have to use an anti-love spell." I admitted.
"Anti-love spell? Why?" He asked and I looked away.
"I'm falling for Dick." I answered quietly.
"But, Galaxia. If you used that spell, you'll feel--" I cut him off.
"I know. I'll feel emotionless. Nothing else." I said and I looked at him.
"But I think it's for the best. I'll only grieve when I'm there at Crystalancia. It would be better if I feel nothing." I explained.
"But this is a big risk, Galaxia. You might never get your emotions back." He said in concern and I smiles sadly.
"The spell will be broken by true love's kiss, Bruce." I said and he sighed.
~~~~~
I'm sitting on one of the seats in the bioship. Queen Bee will be reunifying Qurac and Bialya in two days. She must be stopped. Rob's assigned as team leader since Kaldur's busy with things and I refused when Batman told me to be leader. I mean, seriously, me?
"This is impossible. I'm missing something." I muttered as my eyebrows narrowed.
"How can Harjavti (Qurac's monarch) agree to unite his and Queen Bee's country with all those people protesting?" Rob asked.
"That's the problem. There are so many possible things and outcomes about it." I said and KF gasped.
"What is it?" Rob asked and KF pointed by the window. We looked down the window and saw a horde of animals, Wildabeasts I think, running towards a child and his mother. I looked behind the horde and saw Bialyans knocking off the fences. Tanks destroying them.
"What is it with Bialyans ruining things?" I muttered as Jinx sat in my shoulder.
"It's a sanctuary." Rob whispered. Sanctuary? I'm missing something.
"The Logan Animal Sanctuary?" Miss M asked.
"You know about it?" Rob asked and Miss M looked away.
"Anyways, KF saw a stampede. Making a woman and a child in danger." I said.
"We're way off mission here." Rob said as he looked away and he looked like he was thinking.
"Deploy, but stealth mode. If the Bialyans knew we hit them it will be an international incident." He said and all of us nodded. I grabbed a smoke bomb from my pouch and the hatch opened. Superboy and KF jumped down and I threw the bombs towards the Bialyans. Rob and I quickly jumped off and knocked them off. KF zoomed and grabbed all of their guns so Rob and I just went to the woman and her child. Superboy redirected where the horde is going and I sighed in relief as I stood up straight. Rob squatted down and I folded my arms over my chest.
"Are you both alright?" I asked as KF stood beside me and threw the guns away.
"Mom, mom we were just saved by Robin, Kid Flash, and Sorceress!" The kid exclaimed and Rob stood up. He looks so serious about this mission.
"Superboy and Miss Martian helped, too." KF added as Miss Martian dropped the animal she saved earlier.
"Oryx!" The kid exclaimed as he hugged the animal.
"We stopped the Bialyans to get any closer to the sanctuary. You're safe now." Rob said.
"Yeah, coast is clear Miss M. You can show yourself now." KF said and Miss M took off her hood, making her visible again. She smiled at the two and the kid widened his eyes.
"You may have this worse, Bialyans crossing are our way of life here. Usually they knock a few fences and move on, engaging them might have made us a target." The woman said.
"Mom." The kid said and his mother sighed.
"Sorry, I should be thanking you. This is my son, Garfield. I'm--" The woman was cut off.
"Marie Logan! I can't believe I'm finally meeting you in person!" Miss M exclaimed. So that's why she's so excited. They started talking about the Wildabeast getting sick or something and I zoned out.
"The boys and Sor can do that. You and I can.....fix the fences." Miss M said and I was snapped out of my thoughts.
"That's not exactly--"I was cut off by Miss M.
"Please Robin, Sor?" Miss M pleaded and Rob and I looked at each other.
"Fine." Rob said and Miss M cheered with Garfield.
~~~~~
A monkey suddenly fell from a tree and stole KF's protein bar. It jumped towards Garfield and he laughed.
"Hey there. Guys, this is Monkey." He said
"Great name. I hate monkeys." Superboy muttered and I cackled when the monkey threw the protein bar on Superboy.
"Guess Monkey doesn't like Superboys." Rob said with a slight smirk and I cackled again.
"Dude, be glad he only threw a protein bar." KF said and I cackled as we went in their home.
"Wow, your home is pretty cool." I smiled and Gar smiled back.
"Thanks, but its not that much." He said as I pulled down my face mask.
"A home is a home." I said and he smiled wider.
"So, pretty cool about Miss Martian and mom, huh?" He said
"What do you mean?" Superboy asked and Gar turned around to face us.
"I mean, she looks exactly like Marie! Specially when she was younger on a tv show, Hello Megan!" He said as the boys sat down on the couches.
"Hello Megan's a tv show?" KF asked.
"I thought it's just something she say all the time." Rob said.
"Yeah, on the tv show. Way before we were born. We can't even find it online." Gar said and I sat down on the couch in front of Rob.
"I know mom has a tape somewhere." Gar muttered as he started looking for a tape.
"Here it is! Hello Megan, the pilot episode!" Gar exclaimed as he held up a tape.
"You still have VHS. Where's your 8-track?" KF asked.
"Wait! Aircraft heading this way." Superboy said and I looked at Jinx. She nodded and I sighed.
"Gar, stay put." Rob said as all of us ran out. We saw aircrafts bombing the place.
"What is it?" Miss M asked and the aircraft started firing at us. I quickly ran in front of Marie.
"A shield is needed by this time, let it protect us and fight crime." I chanted quickly and a transparent shield appeared in front of us and protected us from the bullets.
"Where's Garfield?" She asked
"I ordered him to stay put." Rob said as Superboy destroyed an aircarft.
"He's eight! He doesn't do orders!" Marie said and Gar appeared in the barn.
"Mom! I got the animals out!" He yelled as the last air craft exploded and Miss M quickly flew over him.
"I told you there will be consequences." Marie said as my shield faded.
"We're cursed with consequences." I said.
"Always." Rob muttered.
~~~~~
"He's in shock! He needs blood transfution. Does any of you is O negative?" Marie asked as she checked her son on a hospital bed.
"None." Rob answered.
"I can run into the nearest hospital." KF said.
"The nearest hospital will take half an hour at your top speed. Longer by bioship." Rob said.
"Superboy?" Marie asked
"He's half kryptonian and Miss Martian--" I was cut off.
"Might be able to help." Miss M said
"But I need to concentrate." She said
"Out. Everyone out." Marie ordered and we got out of the room and I sighed as I sat on the couch.
"And on top of all this, Harjavti steps down. Tomorrow. Subjecting all of Qurac in this danger." Rob said in frustration.
"K-KF can you find the news chanel?" He asked
"Sure. Which remote is it?" KF asked as he started pressing buttons on the remote but the Hello Megan show played. Rob stood up and I lifted an eyebrow.
KF, Rob, and I looked at each other when the opening song started.
"Maybe it's a coincidence." Superboy said and we heard the Megan on the tv show mention Connor.
"Sure, pure coincidence." KF saud and I smirked.
"I'm done." We heard Miss M said and KF quickly changed the chanel to the news. My eyebrows narrowed when I saw someone familiar behind Harjavti.
"Zoom in." I said and Rob zoomed the screen.
"Simon!" Miss M exclaimed.
"I knew I was missing something! Harjavti's mind controlled by Simon!" I blurted out as I threw my hands up.
"It all made sense." Rob said as I paced back and forth.
~~~~~
We arrived at the capital and stood in front of Harjavti's desk.
"Where's my daughter?" He asked and soldiers came inside.
"American heroes. Here to assassinate the monarch of Qurac." We heard maybe the general said
"Miss M, go find Simon." I ordered and she nodded as she flew away, still invisible.
"Those are apocalyptic weapons." Superboy muttered.
"They will probably kill Harjavti and blame it on us!" Rob said and I smirked under my mask.
"Let's dance." I said as one soldier shot his weapon and I blocked with my blade. I threw three smoke bombs in front of them and it rolled on the floor. Black smoke came out of it and we started beating them up until all of them are down. Harjavti's daughter came and hugged her father.
"Thank you for saving me and my daughter." He thanked and we nodded as we waited for Miss M to come back.
~~~~~
We watched as Queen Bee or should I say, Miss M, pretended as Queen Bee and made a show that she's behind all of this.
"Sorry, I couldn't think of anything else to convince the media that Queen Bee's behind all this." Rob apologized and I cackled as I wrapped an arm around his neck.
"Nice work team leader." I complimented and he smiled.
"Thanks." He thanked as he side-hugged me and I cackled again. We both pulled away and sat down on the solo couches.
"How odd that Bruce Wayne came here very fas--" Rob elbowed KF's gut and I cackled.
"Aren't you supposed to get a souveneir or something?" I said as I backed up Rob and KF nodded.
"Right!" He exclaimed as he grabbed the Hello Megan casette tape.
"Something you wanted to tell us?" KF asked as he waved the tape in front of M'gann. She stood up and faced all of us.
"Growing up on Mars is hard. I started watching broadcasts that my uncle sent me from Earth and something on Hello Megan just clicked. Maybe it's because of our names almost alike or the fact that she solved her problems in twenty-two minutes. But, I know that Hello Megan made me smile in a lonely childhood. And when I came here on Earth, I know I have to disguise myself so......I chose you, I mean Megan." She explained.
"So you don't really look like that." Rob said
"Which begs the question, what do you really look like?" I asked and she sighed. Her hair and some facial features disappeared and we saw a bald version of herself.
But......that's not how she really looks like, is it?
"Bald Megan, still hot." KF said and Superboy and Megan started talking. Lovers talk.
"It's so cute seeing a Kryptonian and a Martian falling in love." I smiled as I folded my arms over my chest.
"You want to date an alien, too?" KF smirked at Rob and I lifted an eyebrow. I cackled and looked at the picture frames hanging on the wall. Reminding me of my family.
"No, I want to date someone who has been there for me since the incident." I said as I stared at the picture of Gar and his mom with a man holding them. Must've been his father.
"Oh, I know someone." KF wiggled his eyebrows and I cackled.
"My body." I said and he shook his head 'no'.
