3 Chap 2: Young Justice

[Mount Justice, July 8.]

Couple of days have already passed and i was 'offered' to stay in the Justice Hall temporarily and i accepted since you know, i don't have any place to stay even tho i can get myself anything i want no biggie, not that i would do that now especially since i am being watched around the clock.

The amount of hidden cameras i found in this place just tell you how heavily guarded they are against me or in general.

I am actually surprised a bit that Batman didn't employ a forced method to get everything he wants to know out of me.

Maybe finding Speedy and telling them about the Genomorphs and the way i am acting so civilized and non aggressive got me some extra points? Who knows it doesn't matter anyway the Hall is nice, there is everything i need here, the food is good not that i am the one cooking maybe i should learn in the future, probably sooner better than later. And the Library is huge like not those fantasy five floors from ground to the ceiling huge but you get what i mean.

I never read a book in my life, past life, if it wasn't for studying or something i am forced to do i never touched a book. But now, you can't imagine the joy and fun i am having here like do you know how cool is it to read something, understand it directly, never forget it and having an extra copy of it in your mind!

I mean if you do then i didn't. I did some testing about my power and made sure everything i wished was there but seeing it works so fine while you are just doing nothing but reading is so satisfying. There's also intenet here so i keep with the news and saw something about the league doing some kind of transportation from Cadmus. So yeah it seems like they are working hard.

Did i mention i am starting to remember everything, like litterally everything i ever saw, heard or felt!

Thinking back about my wishes and power i was never so sure and confident about making the right choice like i am right now.

I am happy that i worded my wishes and details the way i did because it worked spectacularly, i had my doubt initially like what if it didn't work? what if it somehow backlashed? or whatever bullshit pessimistic reason there is. But thank the Panel it worked exactly like how i imagined.

Having the Dna of a Martian and Doomsday is like the best combination you can have and the way my wish worked is not like just making me half and half noo that's not it. What i am right now is a perfectly new race having the best of both world. Martian Physiology alone is very powerful and underrated, don't just look at J'onn J'onzz or M'gann and start judging, J'onn is a passive and peaceful individual who never uses his true power and M'gann is still young and amateur in Martian terms those two are busted if they want, beside the weakness for fire it's very hard to go against them. That's where Doomsday Physiology come in play thanks to the solar energy absorbtion ability the fire weakness is gone, like imagine having the ability to get stronger the closer you are to the sun and the longer you stay there, but being afraid of its fire. What a joke.

Now let's talk about THE ability that is the game changer, the Ace card, the opus operandi the.... you get what i mean 'Reactive Adabtility/Evolution'.

This ability is Hax man and like i wished it works passively against whatever harmful or negative is to me and actively whenever i wish to. Like back in Cadmus it passively made me able to see in the dark 'instantly' even though i only needed couple of seconds to adjust. I mean i got night vision just because i was slightly uncomfortable due to me just waking up even thought i can already see in the dark. And right now i am activating it while reading, i feel my memory and control over my mind getting better and better and i can feel myself getting smarter. That's like 3 or 4 birds with one stone!!!

And the best is yet to come, i had to be very careful and specific about this wish to not kill myself out of ignorance in the future. I wished for a meta-gene, but not any meta-gene tho i was able to specifies it and guess what i got.

Any Marvel/X-men fan will know what, 'Power Manipulation'.

Just like you heard, the ability to copy, steal and bestow any non innate or race specific power or ability. I remember in the last season i watched, Metas were left and right no matter were you go that's like an open buffet for me, heh All for One has nothing on me. And guess what ! It already works, i could sense it with Dinah a.k.a Black Canary i was not close enough to copy her sonic scream nor did i intend to do it anyway, not when all eyes were on me. I know she will be working close to Young justice from now on so i have lot of opportunities plus i don't know if anyone could detect me or feel some changes of energy or simply Aura or some shit happening, i doubt anyone can but better be safe than sorry.

Now Reactive adabtility + Power Manipulation = your guarantee to the top.

I mean you have to be the dumbest or most miserable existence in the universe to not get to the top with those abilities. Those two power work together in tandems and grant me some serious stuff.

For example i can also merge/fuse or separate suitable powers (imagine cold breath+water generation/manipulation = ice manipulation)

I have full understanding and instinctual knowledge of how to use the new acquired powers, i still need the training but i will know how to, not just go with the flow and fake it till you make it, it is litterally all about me being creative and in some cases knowledgeable enough about said power. That's also how i instantly knew how to control my body strength, fly and not getting overwhelmed by my senses. Even though my Physiology is not an ability that can be copied by my power but since it's my body and everything about me is adapting it's kinda like a deal package.

That's also the case with my wish of Acausality, i know it's working but i can't really do anything about it at the moment it's like a passive ability, the only reason i think i can sense it with Power Manipulation is to just know it exists nothing else but that's good enough.

I can also see my meta-gene/power manipulation along with copied/stolen abilities in my soul and organize or edit them. And can see/feel others power too even unawakened ones but i can't do anything to those, beside keeping an eye on them.

So now not only my body and mind will adapt but also my soul, thanks to Reactive adabtility i wil adapt and grow stronger to any power i acquire, pretty much there's no 'too much power' for me and no power of mine will be able to hurt me. So no 'my body will explode from all the power or energy' too, it very much acts like a secondary meta-gene but better because it's an innate ability so even if by somehow my meta powers don't work my adabtility will do the work.

So here i am now after couple of days of lazing around playing with my power or organizing my mind palace and filling my library in it standing in mount Justice, after saying hi to those present, Red tornado just said hi back the birdie just looked at me, more like glared, now i know why he was never liked much he has a very punchable face, Flash and Shazam are fun, talking with Dinah and Batman about some stuff pertaining me like deciding on a name so i can get my Id wich is like the second most important reason why i decided to come with the league and stay on my best behavior, not like it's hard to aquire one but the league will notice and the light too and so it will be a competition who will get to me first so better i come from my own and reap some benefits.

I am now 'allowed' to stay here in Mount Justice and a room was prepared for me and other stuff like what will i do from now on.

I also asked about the genomorphs and the speedy clone situation, i was actually slightly suprised that the lanterns got heavily involved in the issue being it the case of a whole new race and that they are actually being transported to Mars. Well good for them the Martians are quite peaceful from what i know and watched in the past.

Beside the original Speedy getting treatment and the other two are getting seriously investigated he didn't tell me much, maybe still bitter about the whole thing or that's him being Batman. Who knows. I also tried telling him about the whole specific codes or words/phrase brainwash system and that he should talk to Martian Manhunter about it and check with Superboy just in case all while implying that after all the telepathic knowledge transference and then being left alone for so long i got rid of it and have developed a mental defense. Not sure if he bought it but he didn't make any visible movement so i left it at that. Everything will come with time.

--------------------------------------

Standing here waiting for Batman to finish his speech for the new young justice i am scanning the place trying to find if the two Martian are hiding waiting for the right time or did they coincidentally come on time? Well they are not here so probably was a coincidence. I notice Superboy looking at me with a bit of fire in his eyes, not like the way he looks or thinks about Superman, hopes not in a romantic way too hehe i have the urge to joke but let it go for now. I just smile his way and he frows his brows a bit, everyone obviously noticed his looks but no one commented on it. And will you look at that here they are.

"Wait five? You mean he will join too?" Robin asks looking at me but soon notices along with everyone else our attention is somewhere else and following that they turn around and meets miss Martian.

After the introduction and some cringy stuff little sup looks my way and asks" what about you?" "Yeah man won't you join us?" adds Wally, well he's full of energy like Flash

"Nah kid, I'm not that interested in the heroing thing. To be honest i don't see the point in it, the Justice League are doing that for a while now i watched some news, surfed the internet and read a bit about laws and order. The way i see it there's no change, no advancement it's not getting any better, not that i'm undermining anyone's effort it's just the way i see it. A waste of time and effort and i prefer to do that in something i want to do, and that what i am trying to figure out by watching you"

"!"

"I want to know you, I'm interested in seeing why you are doing what you are doing, what drive you all and if you are going to do some changes or you are just wasting your life"

"You are young and new, i won't join your team for the reasons i stated and because in my eyes you are kids" i hold my hand stopping any lash out or superboy simply barking at me before continuing "you simply don't understand what you are signing yourself for, for you this is just a game, an adventure, a way to show off your power or capabilities to each other, to the world and more importantly to your mentors. You want to impress them, make them proud, make them see and acknowledge your effort and hard work." I can see their resolve harden and their hearts are beating with excitement even the little sups " Wrong reasons if you ask me..." and the beating slows down but the gears in their brain start spinning hehe that's fun "..but it's your reasons so it's fine stick to that and show me, your new babysitter along with Red here, that you are right."

Hahah even Batman's face is ugly right now i can hear Dinah trying to hold a laugh and the flash is standing there smiling sheepishly.

"Well that's all kids i hope we have good time together and if you ever need anything i am here to listen and give advices or whatever that you want. Now why don't you be nice and stop flirting with the cute miss Martian there and show her the place and help her feel more comfortable on earth." With that i just turn around say bye to everyone and start looking for my room.

"Did he just flirt with her after telling us zo stop flirting" asked Wally to no one in particular.

--------------------------------

The room is good, spacious with good furniture, it's not like a 5 star suite but better than any normal room with enough space to do whatever one might need to do. I will need to get some clothes to fill this wardrobe, beside my suit i found good clothes my size in the Hall just normal jeans, a black t-shirt, leather jacket and some boots. I don't know if it's fashionable in this earth and time, it's still 2010 after all but i noticed Dinah giving me a one over so i guess no matter the place and time Jeans and black clothes are always fashionable. I should ask Martian Manhunter for those organic clothes they are more durable than my suit. Wonder if i can ask for a bio-ship too, i should probably visit Mars soon.

Now there's something i wanted to do for a while now, i wanna take a sunbathing trip, my current suit should hold a bit if i don't go too close.

Hovering slowly off the ground and flying off the mountain, faster and faster getting far from the ground, only me and the wind brushing my skin and hair, i can feel the air thickens and getting denser causing absolutely no problem to me i continue till it get colder and colder until the freezing point of the atmosphere hit, i can feel how my body is adapting, my temperature getting adjusted back to normal and the thickness of air back being a breeze. Flying. Such a magnificent feeling no one can understand unless they personally experience it.

Floating in this weightless peaceful and quite space watching the blue and green round planet and the shining orb of burning sun behind me, i can't help but ask myself did my earth look like that too and how many dreamt of exploring the galaxy and here i am physically standing and doing that exactly with my personal strength alone i can only feel one thing, i am really happy i just want to stay here and do nothing nor think about anything such luck to have i will make sure to always feel this happy and free from now on.
