A raven haired girl walked in the busy streets of new Metropolis. She stopped and looked at the legion tower `must be pretty cool to be known as a hero` she thought. She admired all the heroes that lived in the tower. Lightning lad, brainiac, phantom girl, Saturn girl and bouncy boy.
She was invisible to most people. Her powers were unknown to anyone but herself. She walked on, stuffing her hands in her pocket.
This girl is Katie Morgan or Kat as she prefers. She has been living alone since she was 7. Now at 14 she still lives peacefully alone.
She was a pretty quiet girl who rarely smiled. No one really spoke to her. Other than the land lady when she wants the rent.
Katie dreamed of joining the Legion of superheroes. She wanted her powers to be put a good use. Her powers were allied with the shadows. She could control them and can trap people with them. She also had a silver scythe at home that belonged to her mother before she left. Her father died a year after she left from an illness he had suffered, leaving her on her own.
She entered her home and shut the door. It was an average place. Couch, TV, Kitchen. The works.
Her hand made costume hung in her closet with her scythe. She wondered that if she went hero freely, the legion might make her stop. She decided to wait for the next audition and see if she could get in.
A sudden boom caught her attention. She looked out her window and saw that the infamous fatel five were attacking the Legion tower.
She glanced at her costume and scythe then back to the scene near her home.
She finally made up her mind and grabbed the scythe

"where's Superman when ya need him!" Lightning lad whined.
Emerald empress laughed and fired her floating eye at him. He managed to dodge, but bouncing boy wasn't so lucky. His mind was taken. "your mind is mine" Empress said smugly.
Braniac, Saturn girl and triplet girl was down as well, having their minds controled by the green queen herself.
Superman finally showed up and took down four of the fatel five. Empress was left. She shot a laser which hut him and knocked him back "nothing can stop us now" she said with a cackle.
She heard a woosh by her ear and yelped. A silver scythe embedded itself on the wall. She looked around, seeing where it came from. She didn't notice a shadow move by her and the rest of the fatel 5.
The shadow approached bouncing boy and noticed his eyes were green. The shadow grew hands, and hut him on the head, making him snap out of it "what the?..."
`wake the rest up` the shadow whispered, as it moved up, to reveal Katie. Her costume was a black dress with a ruffled underskirt and the front hand a split opening. She had on leggings and black boots. She walked over to the scythe and pulled it out "So it was you?" empress yelled. Katie smirked and held her scythe tightly "yeah. Problem with that?" she asked. Empress growled and aimed her eye at her. Katie narrowly dodged as the green ray shot.
She saw superman being held down by valadus. And empress turned her attention away from her and onto Superman "play nice and look into my eye" she said.
Katie ran to help, but she was stopped by a large atomic axe. She looked to see that it was persuader. She grinned and hut him with her scythe. His axe was supposed to cut through anything, but Katie's was protected with Titanium.
They battled it out, as Superman unleashed his laser eyes on empresses eye that made an explosion. Katie was blown back near brainy "hey! are you alright?." Katie sat up slowly and held her head "that was some boom" she mumbled. Brainy smiled "that's superman for ya" he said. Katie smiled back and looked towards the fatel 5, and noticed they were getting up "Oi. There getting up" she said.
Lightning lad smirked. His lightning scar glowed "then lets go put em down for good" He said. Brainy helped Katie up and dashed towards the half man half robot guy (his name escapes me)
Katie gasped when brainy grew bigger and shot some lasers at the villain.
She joined in and went after him with brainy. She made her arms into an X and extended her shadow. It connected with his and held him in place.
Brainy glanced at her and smirked `she's good` he thought. He knocked theguy out and carried him to the pile of unconcious villians. They suddenly vanished in a flash of green. "where'd they go?" Superman asked bewildered
"Telaport. They could be any where in the galaxy by now" Brainy answered.
Feeling like she did her thing. Katie began to walk away. "hey wait!" Lightning lad called. Katie cringed, thinking he was going to yell at her for butting in. She turned to the Legion "yes?" she said quietly. Superman stepped forward "thanks for helping out. You were pretty good" he said
Katie smiled slightly "thought i'd use my powers for something" she said.
"What's your name?" Triplet girl asked
"Katie morgan" she replied.
"na. you need a better one" Lightning lad said. Katie frowned "what the hell is that supposed to mean" she growled
"what i mean is, you need a name to suit your powers, if you wanna join us" he said
Katie blinked "are you kidding me on?"
Saturn girl took her hand and led her to the tower "he's not kidding" she said with a smile.

"are you ready?" Brainy asked. Katie nodded and placed the belt around her waist, and the ring on her right hand. She raised her hand to make the pledge. Other legionaries watched on computer screens.
"To the Legion of Super Heroes, I make this solemn pledge, to use my powers for good, to fight for justice, and protect the innocent. To aid my fellow Legionnaires in times of peril, and keep their secrets safe. I choose a new name to honor the heroes of the past. I am Shadow Crawler"
