I had spent the next eight days setting up the sanctuary.

After some serious begging, Batman finally ordered what I had requested. 30x30 meters squared of fake grass, four different water features, silicon boards for plants, pots, furniture, hoses and importantly 30x30 square meters of mirror.

How did I put this all together? Simple. 

Magic.

Since it was just Orion and I, I could freely use my powers to glue the mirrors to the ceiling, put the walls up were I want them, place the water features where they needed to be and make them plants grow.

On the eighth day, I finished a song to start the water features. I stood in the middle of my eight days of hard work. Plants, terrestrial and non-terrestrial grew all over the place. 

The wall where the entrance is has been replaced with glass. Of course I was still missing the main aspect of it; animals.

There were wooden tables and chairs set up here and there, a giant fountain in the centre and the mirrors made everything look bigger. It was gorgeous.

“Hey,” A voice said.

I turned around to see Robin leaning against the doorway with a smirk on his face. That smirk.

“Hi,” I grinned. I felt bad. The past eight days I had been pretty much ignoring everybody, only concentrating on this.

So I flew to Dick and wrapped my arms around him. “I’m sorry I haven’t been whelmed, but I was really excited about this,” I said, muffled by his chest.

He smells really good. 

“It’s fine,” he chuckled, “it was cute. You were so concentrated on everything. When I saw you anyway. How did you finish it so fast with no outside help?”

I had prepared for this question. "Zatara helped me with his magic," I lied. I hated that I could lie so easily.

When the others returned from school, they’d be here for an hour to train and then they’d leave. It was then that I had to keep my powers on the down-low.

Even when M'gann and Conner were around to help me, both of them knew about my powers so I didn’t bother hiding it.

They’re together now. Something happened between the two when they went undercover at Belle Reve prison.

I released my death grip on Robin and stood back, grinning.

“So have you finished it?”

“Not yet. I just have to put in my order for the pets and when they arrive I can release them. In the meantime I have to do some galactic shopping. Gotta’ pick up a mini sun from Planet Acsorieorassitain, a few extra-terrestrial plants from Planet Zuzandu and some alien animals from Planet Faunataw. That’s basically my day tomorrow.”

“You can do that in a day?” Dick asked in surprise as we left the sanctuary for the lounge.

“I’ll go to Oa first and pick up my ship.”

This only increased his interest and surprise. “Seriously? You have a ship?” I nodded with a grin.

“Yeah! Everyone on Oa has a squad ship. I share mine with Cyra and…” I trailed off, remembering the fun times Cyra, Guy and I had with Des on that ship.

“Des,” I sighed, leaning forward on the sofa with my face in my hands. I felt Dick brush his hands through my hair and then hug me.

“You seem pretty down…wanna go shopping? Uh I mean, Earth shopping by the way. For your favourite thing,” Dick suggested, chuckling.

I looked up at him with a sad grin. “Really? You said you hate shopping,” I giggled, wiping my left eye and sitting up.

I blinked in surprise when he kissed my cheek and wiped away a tear on my right cheek.

“Anything you like, I like,” he confirmed, holding me tighter. All I could do was blush like a noob and let out a weird giggle that sounded like a choking donkey.

Instead of shopping in boring old Happy Harbour, Dick and I Zeta’d to Central City, known for having nicer shops and a lack of destruction, since Flash dealt with the super villains here so fast.

“I never asked…well I did, you were commanding Conner to carry chairs everywhere so you didn’t really answer,” he chuckled.

“S-Sorry…about that…” I grinned nervously. Dick only laughed and told me it was fine.

“What I wanted to ask was…how did your first lesson with Misty go?”

Training Misty was the first thing I had taken a break from the sanctuary to do. I told Dick the story of what happened as we sat down in a café.

“I went a little early and watched her play soccer. Clearly she’s the star player, but her team lost. Except she seemed fine with it. When the team saw that, they were fine with it too, from what I could tell,” I explained.

“She recognised me straight away. When she did, she came running up to me and practically attacked me with a hug,” I giggled.

“Reminds me of someone,” Dick commented.

“Who?”

He only smirked. “Never mind.”

I shrugged him off and continued. “I took her to this old warehouse that hadn’t been used in a while. Of course we flew there, but she doesn’t like flying. She will when she gets a handle on it. Basically all we did was go through what she could do, who she’d be serving and I told her some of the things I’ve done in service of the team and of Oa,” I smiled, taking a sip of my milkshake.

“Did you do what I suggested? Get her to take fighting lessons and acro?”

“Yeah. She said her parents were fine with it.” Of course they were fine with it. I put the idea in their heads.

“She’s got a lesson in ten minutes…could we check it out?” I asked.

“Of course,” so when we finished our milkshakes, we left the café for the Central City leisure centre. Dick had already looked up directions on his wrist computer, discreetly of course.

Who better to be recognised by than Wally.

“Dick! Hana!” He called out across the street. People gave him annoyed looks and looked at us awkwardly. I looked at Dick and he stared back with the same idea.

He may be Kid Flash, but he can’t use his powers in public.

Dick took my hand and we began running away, down the street and around the corner. Past the park where Misty had soccer and down the main street until you get to the big white building with the Flash’s picture grinning at us.

“Looks like we lost him,” I smiled, staring down the road.

Dick and I went into the studio. It was a basketball court, but there were mats everywhere. We sat at the back and observed as the teacher welcomed the under-ten-year-olds to his class.

Misty stood out because of her bright red hair and grin. I pointed her out to Dick quietly.

They were split into groups of three, making three groups. Six senior students then came in pairs and took a group to teach basic moves.

Misty was stuck with this massive boy, maybe ten years old and a girl who was much taller than her. The ring chose her. She had to be strong.

I watched as the senior trainers demonstrated a move; blocking a punch. One member punched slowly at the other, that other performed a basic block Lana taught me when I was three.

One by one the students had a go. Misty’s attempt was sufficient. Then it came time to teach the punching. They were taught the right way to hold their fist and then taught the stance.

The tall girl in Misty’s group went first. Her fingers curled over her thumb as she tried the slow motion punch on her trainer, who then corrected her.

After that the fat boy went. Instead of standing side on and twisting his upper body, he stood front on and moved only his arm, so the trainer corrected that to.

Then came Misty’s turn. She stepped onto the mat and I grabbed Dick’s hand in anticipation. 

Suddenly, the little hero grinned up at me. “She knows I’m here,” I mumbled, but I gave her a thumbs up anyway.

Misty took the correct stance and fist shape.

Yes.

Pulled not only her elbow back, but her entire upper body.

Yes!

My little protege swung at her teacher so fast he had no time to perform the block and fell backwards in surprise.

YES!

I couldn’t stop the grin forming on my face, or the laugh that worked its way up inside of me. I burst out cackling, causing half the room to look up at me in surprise.

Quickly as I could, my hand clamped over my mouth and my eyes widened. Woops.

After some glares from Misty’s mother, the attention on us receded. Instead of being angry though, the teacher seemed genuinely impressed, although the trainer could have looked a little happier.

I gave Misty a thumbs up which she returned.
