Chapter 1

Wally laid in her bed at Mt. Justice thinking about the mission that she and her teammates had earlier today. Kaldur had discovered some sort of markings on her neck during the mission earlier and she was concerned about them for she had only seen then a few times when she was little but they had disappeared when she had gotten her speed powers. Kaldur had told her that he would talk to Aquaman about it and return the next day.

Wally thought back to the mission and when she found out about the strange marks on her neck. It was supposed to be a simple recon mission which turned out it wasn't. It turned out the Black Manta was working with Ocean Master in some sort of plan to flood the entire East Coast with some sort of Atlantian Sorcery

Knowing that they would be needing help Kaldur had called in The Justice League for back up and was told that it would be a little while before they arrived. The objective of Young Justice was to stall the two villains long enough and prevent them from flooding the coast.

During the battle Wally had been hit by Black Manta and dragged under the water in an attempt to drown her. But for some reason Wally could feel herself breathing underwater but didn't let Black Manta know this. The speedster struggled in an attempt to get free from the vice like grip of one of Aquaman's greatest foes.

"Struggle all you want Air breather but no one has escaped my grip and no one ever will." Black Manta told Kid Flash as he dragged the speedster deeper into the ocean.

Wally knew that she had to fake that she couldn't breath or she would be in big trouble. So she started to fake that she was running out of air and hoped and waited for Black Manta to release.

The sea villain did just that when he saw that the young hero had finally run out of air and let her go. "Shame it had to come to this young one but all is fair in war." The armored covered villain said as he pushed Kid Flash up to the surface of the water.

When she surfaced Wally knew that she had to let everyone think that she was unconscious and that her lungs were full of water. So she stay faced down in the water and waited for one of her friends to 'rescue' her.

"KF!"

Wally heard someone yell her name but couldn't respond to them as Black Manta was still around. After a minute she heard a splash and felt someone who she guessed was Kaldur swimming up to her and grabbed her and pulled her towards the shore.

"She's not breathing." Kaldur said as he started to do chest compressions and mouth to mouth. The Altantian was on his third mouth to mouth he heard Wally start to cough. He rolled Wally onto her side so that the water in her lungs would rush out.

"That's it my friend. Keep coughing." Kaldur told his speedster friend as he patted her on the back in an attempt to help her dispel the water in Wally's lungs. It was then that he noticed something sticking out of the ripped part of his friend's costume. Kaldur knew that the uniform from around his teammates neck had been ripped during the fight with Black Manta. But there was something that looked like scars of either side of Wally's neck. Kaldur had never noticed them before. He was about to say something but his teammates arrived and Flash immediately rushed over to his niece and pulled her into a bone crushing hug.

"Kid Flash, are you okay?"

"I will be as soon as you let me breath Flash." Wally muffled out as she was pressed into her uncle's broad chest.

"Sorry, it just that I saw you be pulled under the water and I freaked." Flash told his niece still not letting go of her.

Kaldur was watching the display with a calculating eye. He was concerned about the marks that he had seen on Wally's neck. They looked almost like Gills. But that would be impossible as Wally was from the surface world. Kaldur would have to talk to his King about this later but right now the team need some rest.

"Let's head back to the base as we could all use some rest." Flash told everyone as he still held on to Wally who was trying to get free from her uncle's grip.

MT. JUSTICE

With the help of The Justice League Ocean Master and Black Manta were defeated and the East Coast was saved. Kaldur had immediately returned to Atlantis to talk with Aquaman about what he had seen. The young leader thought that perhaps maybe Wally had some Atlantian DNA in her thus explaining the gill like markings. He along with his teammates knew that Wally had been adopted by her parents when she was a toddler and was found by the ocean.

When Kaldur arrived at the Palace he was greeted with smiles and handshakes. Once he was done being polite he headed for the throne room which being the sidekick to King Orin granted him some special privileges.

King Orin or as he was known to the Justice League as Aquaman was talking with his brother Prince Orn about something involving the Queen and the possibility of a heir to the throne of Atlantis.

"Forgive my intrusion Prince Orn but I need to discuss something of great importance with The King." Kaldur said as he entered the room bowing to both the King and the Prince.

"That is quite alright Kaldur'arm. I was just finishing up anyway." The King's brother said as he turned to his brother and bowed respectfully before swimming away.

"Now Kaldur what is it that you need to talk to me about?" Aquaman asked with a smile on his face.

"During our recent battle I came across something that was most strange on one of my teammates. Wally or as she is know to the League as Kid Flash was attacked by Black Manta and dragged underwater. Something happened underwater and she floated back to the top where I rescued her and started CPR. She was revived but sometime during the battle the uniform around her neck had ripped and I noticed that she had strange markings on her neck where gills would be. I also do not know if this is any connection but Wally did tells us that she was found as a toddler by the ocean and adopted by her parents who raised her as their own." Kaldur explained to his King.

Aquaman looked shocked at what Kaldur had just told him. Wally appeared to have gills. Something told the King that there maybe more to the young speedster that everyone thought. The fact that Wally was found by the Ocean as a toddler sent signals straight to Aquaman's mind. It was quite possible that one of Wally's birth parents could have been from Atlantis thus explaining the strange gill like markings that Kaldur was talking about.

"I also have a feeling that Wally knows about the markings as well but chooses not to say anything about them." Kaldur told his king.

"Tomorrow when we return to MT. Justice I will talk with Batman about Wally having an DNA test done with her permission of course and if she does indeed carry Atlantian blood than I can help her find her parents." Orin told Kaldur who nodded his gratitude.

"Thank you My King." The leader of Young Justice said as he bowed to his king and swam away to his quarters.

Aquaman watched as his protege swam away and took in the info that he was just given. Wally did fit the age group when a terrible natural storm had sweep through Atlantis when the young children were playing out side of the safety zone. The storm had taken most of the children and shattered them all over the world. Most were found with the help of several members who would later become part of the Justice League but a few were never found.

There was the possibility that Wally could indeed be one of the missing children and that from what Aquaman understood was that maybe her gills went into 'hiding' when she got her powers when she recreated her Mentor's experiment that gave him super speed.

If Wally was indeed one of the missing children Aquaman knew that he had a duty to inform the parents that their daughter had been found and was safe.

Next chapter Wally has a DNA test done and discovers a shocking surprise on just who she is.
