Akash turned the door knob quietly and slowly. He was exhausted, he's been at work all 일 and now, all night. He looked at the clock on 벽 at the side of the door as he entered the dark house, it was 11:58pm. He rubbed the back of his neck and closed his eye to relieve the sleepy headache. He then threw his 코트 on the 코트 hanger and a few items on the drawer below the clock. He ran his hand turn his crimson hair as the marched to the kitchen. As he walked pass the sitting room, he glanced into the door and noticed a number of human figures. He stops and the light is switch on.

"Good night Akash." Aquapoint said, sitting on the couch. Akash looked around, his house was filled with people in hero costumes, he grind his teeth and ask,
"Ashley, what are they doing here?"
"I know 당신 told me to never bring a Leaguer into the house, but this is an emergence."
"What could be so urgent that would make 당신 drag quarter of these guys into my house?"
"Her" Ashley said, pointing to the entrance . Akash turned to the entrance to find Miss Martian beside a certain 에메랄드 hair girl. His eyes widen, his mouth moved but there was no sound.
He finally manage to get a word out, but stuttered saying,"M-M-Melody." He stood in his place as his breathing increased and a smile began to form on his,
"Melody," he said once more. Melody walked up to him, her head down and her hands folded. She stood before him but didn't look up. Akash reached out to her placing his index finger beneath her chin, slowly rising her head. Melody looked into his ocean blue eyes and smile,

"You're still the master of disguise," She said, and they both let out a giggle.

"Where's Rohan?" Akash asked, making water settle in her eyes

"They killed him," she said, embracing him. Akash held on to her as she sobbed in his chest, she pulled away and shouted, "In front of me, in front of me Akash. Why would they do that?" Akash pulled her close and she continued sobbing , "It should been me, I was the one they wanted not him, not him." mumbled in his chest. Akash held on to her as he brought her to the couch. They both sat and Akash asked,

"How long have they been after you?"

"Two months,"

"Keep an eye on her, be be right back." He said, letting her go and walked out of the room. Ashley sat 다음 to her and did say a word.

"Ashley, I though 당신 said he can help us?" Nighthawk said, folding his arms.
"He can," Ashley said, folding her hands and knitting her brows.
"We should get back to the cave and 신고 was happen, and tell 배트맨 about this Alana." Mercy said, at the same time Akash walked in the room with a cup in his hand.
"You ran into Alana?" Akash asked, handing Melody the cup, "Drink." he tells her.
"You know her?"
"Any Urzelon would know that monster of a woman."
"What's an Urzelon?" Superboy asked.
"It's where we're from, but according to a person features they are given the a name suited to those features."
"Like Vernason." Megan said.
"Yeah, who'd know..."
"Ashley mention it earlier, she called Melody that," Mercy said
"Yeah that's what her people is called since they can control and communicate with plants."
"Oh.." the team said in sequence.
"So what's Alana?" Nighthawk asked
"Alana's a Beetle..."
"a what?"
"Look we've been talking for an 시간 now, I've been at work all today I'm exhausted and so is Melody she's probably been running from Alana for weeks on."
"Been running from Lelisa and Salil." Melody said from the couch.
"What?! Lelisa's here, great now we have to put up with Alana insane daughter. Tell 당신 guys what, I'll give Ashley some notes about Alana and the others when she comes to the cave again, deal" Akash said in one breath, as he held on to the bridge of his nose.
"Okay."
"Ashley take Melody up stairs."
Team gathered together and existed the sitting room while Ashley took Melody upstairs. Akash was the only one leaved in the room when is said to himself, "Why now?"
................................................................................................................................................................

Lelisa walked through the metal hallways, the sounds of her six inch heels bounced off the walls and echoed through the hallways. She approached a door when Salil was thrown out of the door. She knitted her brows and said to him,
"You've got something on her face peasant,"
"Why i am the one who gets smacked around," He said, wiping away blood from his lip.
" 'Cause you're pathetic." She told him. Salil knitted his brow and walked off chucking her has he passed. She shook her head and open the door.
"Do I get smacked around too." She said, closing the door.
"No why would I do such a thing," Alana said, turning to Lelisa.
"How're 당신 feeling." Lelisa asked, walking up to her and sat beside her.
"Old," She replied, giggling
"You should some rest."
"Lelisa, I need 당신 to stop looking for the other guardians..."
"What?!"
"Shhhhhh, 당신 need to find Kaya."
"Do I get to get her?"
"No, she's the only one who can find the Ultra Guardain."
"That's boring."
"But get rid of anyone and anything that gets in her way."
"That sounds intriguing." Lelisa said, with a smirk on her face.
