"I'm almost 18, Mom, I could handle living alone", I remembered saying to my mother before she left for her 秒 honeymoon.
"Riiight. Remember when あなた almost burned the house down?"
"Ohhhh yeah..."
Which was why I was compelled to live in Mount Justice until she got back.
Which would be in a year.
I took a deep breath. How bad could it be? I see Megan and Superboy almost everyday, it's not like they're going to bite me または anything.
I stepped into the lounge for dinner, with my bag of belongings slung over my shoulder.
"Megan? Superboy?"
"In here!" Megan answered from the kitchen.
I walked inside hesitantly, still grumpy about living here.
Megan was fixing dinner, with Superboy standing behind her, completely covered in milk.
When she saw me, she smiled. "Erica! I'm so GLAD you're gonna live here with us!"
I faked a smile. "Yeah, so am I," I said, my sarcasm obvious.
In the corner of my eye, I saw Superboy chuckle.
Great, the paranoia was getting to me already.
I set my bag down. "Do あなた need help with dinner?"
She snuck a glance at Superboy. "No, thank you, I think I could do it alone."
"Okay," I said, relieved. I had no idea how to cook.
Maybe Mom was right--how was I gonna feed myself for a year?
A howling monkey woke me up from my troubled sleep. It felt like it was yelling in my ear, but instead it was a few miles away from the mountain.
"Ugh. Stupid jungle." I tried going back to sleep, but the sounds of nature kept me awake.
I groaned and sat up. I might as well get up now.
I took a quick シャワー and walked to the empty lounge. It was different, almost scary, seeing no one here. I took a look at the clock. It was nearly seven.
My stomach growled loudly. It was as if it was screaming "FEED ME!"
"Fine!" I answered the imaginary voice.
I opened the refrigerator and looked inside. I found a carton of milk, and made myself cereal.
When I was nearly done, out of nowhere, a voice thundered through the speakers.
"Erica, to the Training Room," 発言しました a bored female voice. "Aquaman is waiting for you."
I picked the bowl up and drank what was left of my meal. "In a minute!"
"He wants あなた NOW." The voice ordered. I was pretty sure it was Black Canary.
Jeez, be patient, would you? I threw the bowl in the sink and ran for the training room.
Aquaman was standing in the middle of the room, staring at the ウォール clock.
"I'm here!" I stumbled into the room, landing before his feet.
"Erica, you're late. あなた were supposed to be here an 時 ago."
I brushed off my shoulders. "I'm sorry, I'm afraid I overslept." Leave it to バットマン to leave out the one piece of information I needed.
"Alright, now 表示する me your water element..."
And it went on like that: Me completing the same 移動する over and over again, and Aquaman telling me to do it again.
によって four in the afternoon, he finally said, "That completes our training for today. I'll see あなた again 次 week."
"Are あなた sure?" I rasped. "Not another move?"
He nodded, not getting my sarcasm.
When I got to the lounge, I heaved myself on the couch, exhausted.
Okay, Erica, you've done enough for today. あなた deserve a few hours of sleep...
I closed my eyes, ready to sleep, when that godforsaken alarm blared through the speakers.
"Are あなた flippin' serious?!!!" I reluctantly got up and ran for the Mission Room.
"Riiight. Remember when あなた almost burned the house down?"

The Clash-
SNEAK PEEK
"A biological attack has affected the greater part of New York City. A green fog rose from the streets this morning in downtown New York. Despite interventions of the Justice League & Young Justice, New York has been stranded from all help. Monsters are being formed from what we are told is 'Gamma Radiation'. But the main 質問 everyone is asking is not "How will we save those who have been affected" Rather the 質問 is: Where is New York's protector? Where is the Spiderman? And did he truly end the masked vigilante Red Revenge, now known as Samuel Grant?"
Should I publish?

Epilogue-
2 weeks later...
Artemis landed on the rooftop, bow drawn.
"Relax, it's me." Revenge said, emerging from the shadows.
Artemis cocked her head, but didn't let go of her bow または arrow. "What do あなた want Revenge?"
"I've changed my mind." Revenge said. "I'll 登録する the Team on one condition."
"What condition?" Artemis asked.
"You listen to what I have to say."
------------------------------------------------------
"Assassin."
"Master."
Cheshire bowed before Ra's Al Ghul.
"Your mission was a success?"
"Yes master." Cheshire handed her leader a disc which he inserted into a computer. "Holly's true loyalties were proven."
The screen behind Ra's Al Ghul lit up revealing a familiar face.
"And another of the "heroe's" identities belongs to...the Light."
