Chapter 8: The Team

A/N This is set directly after "Welcome to Happy Harbour."

Rated: K

They had all met before. Some of them had even fought together before this. But now as they listened to Red Tornado's dismissal they saw each other for the first time.

As they looked around at each other they no longer saw teammates or fellow sidekicks, instead they saw friends.

And after their successful mission it seemed that they were meeting each other all over again. Smiles graced their lips as they reflected on their new found friendships.

Robin: the brilliant hacker, the most experienced, the stunning acrobat, and the immature little brother.

Kaldur: the practical thinker, calm individual, dedicated hero, and dignified leader.

Wally: the eager speedster, humorous jokester, science whiz, and the sarcastic friend.

Superboy: the brash fighter, the clone of Superman, the strongest but most angry, and the protective and caring big brother.

Megan: The glue that keeps them together, the hopeful cook, the sweet girl, and the kind and caring sister.

Wally broke their momentary reverie as they walked. "Speedy was so wrong."

"This team thing-" Robin began.

"Might just work out." Aqualad finished.

Megan and Conner smiled as they followed the three out.

They all knew that this would be the first of many meetings. That in their fight together they would constantly re-discover themselves. But for now they were all happy to have met each other, to have found comrades in the eternal fight for justice. They were happy to be friends.

A/N Meant to be short and sweet…

Sorry Artemis wasn't in it.

The entire series, though it actually all started with this chapter, was written as a fill for Rowanfall's "Soundtrack Challenge." The song that inspired this was Many Meetings from The Fellowship of the Ring soundtrack. The inspiration mainly came from the title and reflective feel of the song but also from the scene in the movie that this was taken from. The scene is where the Council of Elrond comes together for the first time and the fellowship meets the comrades that they are going to fight beside to rid Middle Earth of the evil of Sauron.

I hope you guys enjoyed this series as much as I enjoyed writing it :)

Until our next meeting,

Angelina :D
