Episode/Chapter 1 - Move Out
We lost so many people. Karen Beecher and Malcolm Duncan both moved out of the country to live more civilized lives, kind of like what Artemis Crock and Wally West did for a year. My name is M'gann M'orzz. Miss Martian. I am one of the six senior members of the team. I've been on the team for at least seven years, and will continue to do so until my last day, may it be death by age, or death in the line of duty. But neither is most likely to happen. Besides, I do believe I'm pretty strong and impervious to a lot of things. I mean, I don't really mean to brag...but I think that the team really needs me. Without me...
"Um, excuse me? Where are the fitting rooms?" A woman asked, snapping Megan back into reality.
"What? Oh. Sorry. Go straight, then it's to your left." Megan directed the woman. The woman thanked her and walked away. Megan sighed and wiped her forehead. She had to do a community internship as part of her senior college requirement, and once she's finished her remaining three days, then she can graduate. But sometimes, she zones out and daydreams about the team. Then she heard footsteps behind her.
"Don't worry. Only three more weeks until graduation." A familiar voice said. Megan smiled and turned around to see Conner Kent standing before her. She ran up to him and gave him a hug.
"You have no idea how bored I am right now." Megan laughed, "how was the emergency room?"
"Eh. I'd rather be working on the team." Conner shrugged. His assigned internship was at a hospital, while Megan had an internship at a mall.
"I mean, I couldn't even imagine someone like you being a doctor!" Megan chuckled as they walked out of the mall.
"I know. I'm just doing this to graduate. Then we'll be free from school, and we can focus entirely on the team." Conner said as he wrapped his arm around her and pulled her closer to him.
"That'd be so much better than this." Megan said. They walked out the front entrance of the mall and walked down the sidewalk, then Conner was the first to speak up.
"Do you know who's left on the team?" Conner asked as they walked down the upcoming alley.
"Not enough." Megan said as she returned from her human tan colored skin to her normal green skin tone, and her hair grew out about four to five inches longer. Of course that answer didn't surprise Conner at all, because it was true. More than half the team was in college now, and once they graduated, some decided that they wanted to move out and live a normal life. Mal, Guardian, and Karen, Bumblebee, were two of them. Lagoon Boy is also one of those people who decided to move back to Atlantis, and to stay there to protect the queen. With Tula gone, Garth has been...'slacking' lately, so La'gann decided to go down and help him. We've had one recent member join us: Bette Kane. She joined us during her sophomore year in college last year. And still, she's one of the smartest girls I know. She's majoring in computer tech and detective work, and she can graduate now if she wanted to! She officially joined the team as Oracle. She won't be fighting, but she'll be taking Mal and Nightwing's place on the team as the coordinator from the cave. Then there were also some people who had changed their names the past year...well, make that ONE person...and that's Robin. Tim Drake, for some reason I really don't know, changed his name to Red Robin. I think he changed it ever since he and Dick Grayson were called in by Batman that one day at school. Batman had a small boy with him, but I really didn't know what was going on then. That little boy had a very mischievous look, though...it kinda creeped me out...
"M'gann!" Conner shouted.
"What? Oh, sorry." M'gann said. She was daydreaming again.
"I said we're here. You go in first." Conner said. M'gann nodded and opened the metal door of the broken down telephone booth, then shut it behind her, but this wasn't an ordinary broken down telephone booth.
"Recognized. Miss Martian, B05." And M'gann disappeared. Then Conner walked in after her, "Recognized. Superboy, B04."
