The Justice League extracted the team and the girl from Cadmus and brought them back to Mount Justice. Wonder Woman removed the shock collar from the mysterious girl's neck before they hooked her up to various medical machines such as a heart monitor and an I.V. drip due to dehydration. 

The Justice League ushered the team out of the mystery girl's room, closing the door but keeping the blinds up so they could see in and observe her. They met in the adjourning room, going over the files they found on 'Project Mx'.

"Project Mx, civilian name Wanda Maximoff, age sixteen, has the abilities of telepathy, telekinesis, psionic energy manipulation, and flight." Dick read from his gauntlet, peeking at the girl through the window. "So, she's powerful."

"If she can control her powers, she is. If not, she's a hazard." Batman grunted, looking over the rest of the files. "She has been held hostage by Cadmus since she was eight."

"Why didn't we see her there when we rescued Conner?" Wally asked, gesturing at Superboy with his thumb.

"Says here they had to move her from facility to facility because her powers were so unstable she kept destroying her containment chambers, so when Conner's containment chamber freed up, they used it for her. If it could hold a Kryptonian, it can hold her." 

Zatanna was peering at the girl, Wanda, during the entirety of the conversation. "Why was she in a straight jacket with a shock collar? That seems a bit extreme."

"After running a diagnostic on the collar, it appears to have had power inhibiting properties to it, so the agents of Cadmus were probably just being extra cautious around someone who can manipulate minds." Batman stared at the results of the collar on his gauntlet. "The girl would be shocked any time she used her powers out of line or not how the scientists wanted. They used it as a means to control her."

The team felt sick to their stomachs, looking in through the window at the girl. Jason couldn't help but ask the question that was nagging him. "How could she use her powers with an inhibitor collar on?"

The League members that were present thought about it, not quite having an answer until Zatanna nodded at the window. "Why not ask her? She's waking up."

"Stay here." Batman growled, making the team scoff and ignore his orders, following the League into the medical bay. Batman grunted but didn't say another word until he was in the medical bay, staring at Wanda Maximoff, who had a confused expression on her face. "Hello, Wanda."

She looked away from her hands, staring blankly at the gathering of heroes before her. "Where am I?" Her voice was raspy and heavily accented.

Wonder Woman sat down in the chair next to her bed, a kind smile on her face. "You are with the Justice League now. You are no longer with Cadmus, they can no longer hurt you."

Wanda let out a humorless laugh, her hand unconsciously going to her throat. "That is what you think."

"It is what I know."

Wanda took her hand away from her throat,  a small, knowing smile making its way onto her lips. "Funny, how fragile a thing our minds are." Before anyone could question Wanda's words, she was speaking again. "Do you know what I am capable of? Why am I not restrained?"

"We want to give you a chance, Wanda. We trust you." Superman explained, making Wanda's brow furrow. "What is it?"

"What does 'trust' mean?"

How does she not know what trust means?

She was held captive by an evil organization that was experimenting on her. They probably didn't pay much attention to her education.

Poor thing.

She is not a thing, Wally.

"Trust means we believe you won't harm us with your powers or abilities. We believe you are friendly." Wonder Woman smiled kindly once more. She lifted a hand and placed it on Wanda's leg, making the teen flinch slightly. Wonder Woman frowned, retracting her hand. "We know you have been through a lot, Wanda, we understand that. What Cadmus did to you is unforgivable."

Wanda gave a wobbly smile. "Trust...I trust you too, heroes. Thank you for saving me."

"Of cou-" An alarm sounded out from each of the Justice Leaguers' uniforms, cutting Wonder Woman off. She looked over at Batman, who nodded solemnly, before turning to Wanda. "We must be going now." Wanda looked panicked, making the teams' hearts ache for her and Wonder Woman back track. "But do not fret! Our team of proteges will be here should you need anything. We will check back in as soon as we can."

With that, the present Leaguers departed and left the teenagers alone with Wanda, who looked around the group of teenagers curiously. It was Kaldur who broke the silence, stepping forward. "Allow me to introduce us. I am Kaldur, known as Aqualad, and leader of the team. This is Artemis, Kid Flash, Superboy, Miss Martian, Nightwing, Zatanna, and Robin."

Wanda gave a small wave before going back to fidgeting with her fingers.

What do we do now?

I'm not sure, she's just staring at us.

Well, she probably never really had normal human interaction before.

This is so awkward, somebody say something!

Luckily for them, Wanda quirked a brow and smirked, breaking the quiet. "Are you talking telepathically?"

"How did you know?" Artemis narrowed her eyes at Wanda, feeling a bit peeved if the girl read her mind without her permission.

"I'm a telepath, I can tell when telepathy is being used, even when it is not my own. I did not read any of your minds to get that conclusion, I promise." Towards the end of her reply, Wanda got panicked, her hands going up to hide her face as if one of the other teens would strike her.

"Hey, hey, its okay." Zatanna spoke softly, walking towards Wanda slowly. She took a seat next to her on the bed, tentatively pulling the shaking girl into her arms. She shushed her, brushing her hair with her hand. "We're not mad, we were just curious."

Wanda continued to shake, her breathing coming fast and sharp. She slowly relaxed into Zatanna's arms after a few moments, eyes wide and spooked. The team exchanged a look amongst themselves, making a pact through the mind link then and there that they would make Cadmus pay for hurting Wanda like this.
