Sindel's POV
We landed in Washington DC and got off the plane last as I didn't want to be squished by strangers, and John and Zatanna refused to leave me alone. We headed for baggage claim and grabbed our suitcases then went to the exit.

As we walked out we were met with a tall bald black man and a petite white girl with shoulder blade length red hair "Constantine! Zatanna!" The man called out grabbing our attention

As we walked out we were met with a tall bald black man and a petite white girl with shoulder blade length red hair "Constantine! Zatanna!" The man called out grabbing our attention. John warily smirked and said "Sorry mate do we know you?" He placed a protective arm in front of me and the other guy raised his hands and said "John, it's me, Manhunter" in a low voice in case anyone heard him.

'Wait....Manhunter? As in Martian Manhunter?'

John relaxed and said "Oh yeah forgot you could shape shift. Who's the kid?" "I could ask you the same" Martian said gesturing towards me "but this is my niece Megan, and in public would you mind calling me John Jones" John blinked and said "Well, Jones, this is my daughter/kid Sindel" Jones blinked and nodded "Nice to meet to Mx-Ms. Sindel" I nodded and signed 'Pleasure to meet you as well' while staring at the ground.

The adults seemed to have a silent conversation before Jones said "Let's get you to the apartment, yes? Megan and I decorated it for your arrival and we hope it's to your liking.

(A/n: I don't know why but I'm picturing him with a French accent lol)

Jones and Megan took our bags and Megan tried speaking to me "I like your outfit" I looked down before signing 'Thank you'.

"That's sign language, right? Sorry I'm mostly using your thoughts as a conversation" I continued looking at the ground and instead started thinking to her

"That's sign language, right? Sorry I'm mostly using your thoughts as a conversation" I continued looking at the ground and instead started thinking to her.

'Yes, it's sign language. I don't mind you hearing my thoughts, but please don't pry' "I won't but your mind is very different from what I'm used to. Is it because you're mute?" She wondered out loud 'No, I'm not mute, I'm autistic, I was diagnosed at a young age and find it easier to communicate via sign language' I wasn't sure what her emotions were so I peered up at her face.

Her lips were parted in a slight 'o' shape and her eyes were wide.....that means that she's surprised "Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't realize-" I waved her off 'It's fine. Can we just go to the apartment?' She nodded and we headed out.
