It backs away slightly, eyes narrowed, like its expecting a trap, a trick.

The noises from the other side of the door are getting louder, signalling that they might have company in a minute, but Aqualad keeps his focus on the scared and hurt person in front of him. His stance is open and relaxed, his weapons sheathed. 

"It is not a trick. We are here to help you. I am Aqualad, and this is Robin and Kid Flash. We can take you to the Justice League—to Martian Manhunter."

That gets a flat look, which...becomes somewhat flatter as its face morphs into an impassive masquerade mask.

"I wasn't exactly wandering around the halls," it points out, voice hoarse, probably from disuse. It's balanced carefully, a combat ready stance, and is flexing its limbs like it can't quite decide whether they're in the optimal shape.
