Prompt Post - Part Ten
I am REALLY, REALLY SORRY about taking so long, guys, and about not being around much recently. I've been busier than I have in a while, and it just kept slipping my mind between uni applications and volunteering and all sorts- for some reason I thought we were much further off a new post.
If there is anything I haven't responded to, as of now, I'm ( Read more... )
My prompt is this!
At the end of Image, M'gann decides to reveal her true white martian form. Not necessarily at the Logan's house, and possibly with Aqualad and Artemis and Zantanna present.
How the team is reacts is up to you, but I'd really prefer if at least Superboy is accepting.
Bonus 1: Robin already knew/had an inkling.
Bonus 2: Artemis reveals who her father is as a result.
I just want everyone to be happy and stop hiding everything from one another, ok?

Now all we need is for her to realize this...

Conner’s pain flares up bright in her mind, as his shoulder and back scrapes along the ground. M’gann flinches from it, feels like her own skin is getting floor tile and rock ground into it before she can properly tune out the sensations, enough to dodge to the side. A half second later, Conner goes flying past her, digging a furrow in the ground before rolling shoulder over shoulder as the drag starts to slow him down.
‘Superboy!’ She has the presence of mind to use his other name, but not to keep her mental shout from blaring loud. It makes Artemis, off to her side, flinch from the volume and it almost costs M’gann ( ... )

The fact that she remembered Megan Wheeler using a similar excuse in episode four was mostly a coincidence.
Mostly.
No one stopped her, and she raced for the bathroom while whispering over and over to herself that no, her legs were going to stay the same shape, and she wasn’t going to get there any faster if they WERE different.
Her last steps were more of a stagger then a run, and she had to prop herself up on the sink with shaky arms to stare in the mirror.
Megan was looking back at her; Caucasian, not chalky white, with amber eyes instead of red. Her hair dangled over her face, disheveled, but it was still there. She forced herself to breathe in deep, riding out the spasms and lurches in her body, until she could finally settle.
“M’gann?” Came Conner’s ( ... )

They can do this, she reminds herself. Even if this is some “next gen” (as Wally put it) robot, once Kaldur gets more fuel, they’ll have the edge-
The android holds a hand, palm out and fingers spread to show a hole carved into the hand, and it’s only NOW that M’gann remembers what sort of technology is built into the thing. A projectile, long and javelin like, whistles out of its hand. Her own hands move too slowly, her fingers not listening and the motions clumsy, while the weapon passes through her telekinesis with a low thrum. It doesn’t pass through Aqualad though, burying itself in his side before he can reach the water, spearing him to the ground.
-o-o-o-As it turned out, she only needed to go from episode one to episode seven of the series before Megan had enough confidence that her hands ( ... )

‘Floating isn’t normal here.’ The thought, ugly and jagged in contrast to Conner’s steadiness, cracked across her mind. Having that want to let his thoughts lift her up only made it worse.
“Can we head back now?” M’gann found herself asking as she pulled away. “Like I said, I’m just feeling tired is all.” That last, at least, didn’t feel like a lie, as fatigue suddenly dug into her chest, and tried to pull her down.
-o-o-o-“Regnorts enots, regnorts enots, regnorts enots,” Zatanna is repeating, her focus on the wall that now has more dents and holes in it then support. Her voice echoes, and that groan from the upper levels lessens a bit as plaster and dust stops raining down on ( ... )

Oh, jeez. Both the leaders are down, as well as the only one among them who's faster than the android.
This is insanely good. I did not expect this fill from this prompt, but it's absolutely amazing, and it's essentially about M'gann's true form being revealed, so it fits and did I mention how amazing it is?
I love the little flashbacks to her losing control, and she's finally tuning into the unnaturalness of her human body, and gah! *insert incoherent flailing*
I'll be waiting for that update!

I'm getting ready to put up part two of three today, so I hope you enjoy that too!

True to her word, M’gann went straight for her room once they reached the base. Or at least, as straight to her room as side passages would allow, and not making any eye contact with the few people she did see. The look Conner gave her was still lingering in her mind, and felt eerily similar to that phantom. It wasn’t much of a step from suspicious to furious, from what she’d observed.
She didn’t want to encounter that expression on anyone else today. Or anyone else, ever, if she had a choice in the matter.
Ten steps into the hallway, and M’gann let her skin shift back to green. It tingled for a moment, almost resisting the change and wanting to go a step lighter then darker. But as it swept up from her feet and across her face, M’gann thought that she felt slightly less tense.
‘This doesn’t feel right.’ Not just how her hands stayed as tight balled fists, but also avoiding people. That wasn’t how a day after school was supposed to go. Staying away from her team…From her friends wasn’t normal ( ... )

The fireball gets thrown off course, the android’s arm still glowing blue and crackling. Artemis tenses, trying to get out of the path, and M’gann forces her thoughts into a rough sort of order with an angry wrenching motion that also brings her hands up. When she grabs Artemis, it’s also a rough motion; she doesn’t so much pull the other girl out of the way as throw her when the fire slams into a patch of ground…And thankfully just ground. Artemis may feel a little singed from the heat, but that’s the worst of it ( ... )

How much of it she could lose.
The frame rattled as, by reflex, she tried to give it a telekinetic pull off the wall. Do what with it, she doesn’t know- Until she got the image of throwing it to the side, hard enough to shatter it and wipe one more reminder away.
‘Stop it.’ Along with ‘Stay calm’ ran through her mind as she cut out that idea. That wasn’t her; she wasn’t going to cause violence like that when it wasn’t needed ( ... )

Tries to. Her feet feel like they’re glued to the floor, unable to move fast enough or get underneath her quick enough to make that jump, and keep her balance. Definitely not quick enough to dodge again when Superboy is half thrown, half jumps away and crashes into her.
Her mind moves slightly faster, and keeps them from hitting the floor. They float for a brief moment, before M’gann finds her center and sets them back down. He shoots her a confused look, and she can feel the briefest brush of "Why" in her head before he lunges again ( ... )
