Ha! Kiwi has squeezed her way into another story!


Lightning strikes
Inside, my chest to keep me up at night
Dream of ways
To make you understand my pain~John Mayer, Heartbreak Warfare


"No way! No freakin' way!" Wally West (Kid Flash) shouted.

"Wally," Barry Allen (The Flash) sighed as he tried to be sympathetic to his nephew, "Come on."

"She's a crook! A Criminal! She can't be here!" Wally shouted.

"You know that's not true, Wally. She's helped us plenty of times when we were in trouble." Barry reasoned.

"AND she's betrayed us!" Wally exclaimed. "She's not going to stay here!"

"That's not your choice. I already talked to Batman and Red Tornado about it and they're perfectly fine with it."

"I don't care what the hell Batman and Red Tornado say! She's the daughter of Rogues! She can't be trusted! She used that mallet thing on me and almost killed me!"

"And I might use it again if you ever suspect that I tried to kill you." Katalina "Kiwi" Alonso (Or as Wally knew her: Mokking Byrd) shouted as she pulled the mallet up to her chest. She was the girl dyed her long, wavy red hair and electric blue color and had purple contacts. Her outfit had consisted of a Superman/Batman shirt that was blue and had forearm length black sleeves. In the blue part of the shirt-on my chest-had the Batman symbol with the Superman insignia in it. On her arms were the Wonder Woman cuffs and on her finger was a fake Green Lantern ring. Plus, the black fingerless gloves. Around her slim waist was a utility belt with Bat-a-rangs that she stole from the Bats himself. On her feet were a pair of yellow and red skates. And on her head were a pair of purple goggles.

"Please, you act like you haven't murdered before. I bet you're just like your "family"." Wally rolled his eyes.

"The Rogues don't just kill anyone!" Kiwi shouted.

"They still kill!"

"Well I don't! Just because I'm part of their family doesn't mean I walk in their footsteps!"

"Might as well with the way you are!"

Kiwi gripped her mallet and motioned to bring it up, Wally quickly got in his battle stance. But Barry quickly zoomed in between them and stopped them from attacking each other. "Alrighty then! Let's try and start over, shall we!"

Kiwi looked up at Barry angrily, "Why the hell did you and the damn Justice League even bother!"

"What?" Barry asked.

"You could have just left me in jail! But no! You just had to "save" me from being put in jail and bring me here!" Kiwi shouted.

"I'm trying to-."

"She's right!" Wally shouted, "Why didn't you leave her in jail! Where she belongs! I don't want her here! And When my team meets her, they wouldn't want her here!"

"Wally!" Barry shouted, then sighed, "Look, I brought her here because she's in need of a good influence."

"In need? A good influence? You think this I'm like this because of the people I was raised by? You're dead wrong." Kiwi growled, "I'm like this because I wanna be. I'm not a crook but I'm not a "bad guy". I just don't pick a side, and I don't intend to any time soon." She narrowed her eyes at Wally.

Barry placed his hands his hands on her shoulders, "You need friends. Ones that are your age."

"Pfft. Like anyone would want to be friends with her." Wally crossed his arms.

"Wallace West!" Barry growled. "Look, Kiwi, I trust you'll at least try to get along or make friends. Will you please promise me that?"

Trust. That word always slapped Kiwi in the face. The Rogues were her family and they didn't even trust her. Especially from the many times she's helped out the Flash. But Barry trusted her. And that made her heart race. She looked up at him, "I promise."

He smiled, "Great." He turned back to Wally, "You treat her like she's a part of this team, you hear me?"

Wally tightened his fists, "But Barry-."

"No buts. She-" He looked into Wally's angry green eyes, "She needs this, Wally. Please."

Wally sighed and nodded ruefully. He could never really say no to Barry. Barry patted him on the head then turned around and made his way to the teleporter. "You two behave now."

"Can't make any promises there, Barry." Kiwi called as the teleporter glowed, sending Barry off.

Kiwi turned around to see Wally glaring at her, "Staring problem, Wallace?"

"It's Wally," He growled. He pointed his finger at her, "And you listen up, girly. My friends are going to be here in a couple of minutes. They're good people and since you're a part of the team you better not do anything to hurt them-." He poked her, "I swear if you do anything-."

Kiwi grabbed his finger and bent it back, "No, you listen up, Speeds. I don't take orders form The Rogues and I sure as hell ain't gonna take 'em from you. I could care less about your teammates or what happens to them. So you don't have to worry your pretty little head, 'kay?" Kiwi said sweetly as Wally began to whimper because of the pain in his finger.

"Okay!" She growled as she bent it back even more.

"OKAY!" Wally shouted.

"Good," Kiwi smiled as she released Wally's finger. He pulled it to his chest and rubbed it.

"Recognize; Miss Martian. Recognize; Robin. Recognize; Aqualad. Recognize; Superboy. Recognize; Artemis " The teleporter glowed brightly as four teenagers appeared in front of it.

"Hey, Wally what's-!" The Boy Wonder was cut off by the young beauty that stood there. Her purple contact eyes staring at him with a smirk. "Who's this?"

"Our mascot." Wally smirked.

Kiwi growled and punched him in the shoulder. He yelped and quickly grabbed his arm. "Shit that burns, who's powers did you copy off of this time?"

"Power girl." Kiwi smiled. She then turned to the team, "I'm Mokking Byrd. But you can call me Kiwi. I'm new to the team." She tried her best to sound nice….tried. Clearly it wasn't good enough since Wally was still glaring at her.

"Cool name." Robin nodded, "I'm Robin, That's Miss Martian, and-."

"She already knows who you are." Wally stated as he rubbed his arm, "Just don't tell her your secret I.D.'s. Can't trust her for shit."

"Shut the hell up, Wally." Kiwi rolled her eyes.

"How does she know yours?" Aqualad asked.

"Because she touched me?"

"What?" Everyone said in unison.

Kiwi raised her gloved hand, "When my palm is naked and it touches someone, I can copy their powers…and everything they know. Including their identity."

"So, how many powers do you have?" Artemis asked.

"Just one," Kiwi started, "I can only copy one persons' powers one at a time. The second I touch someone else with powers, I lose the ones I had before."

Wally cocked his brows at Kiwi. She was explaining everything so calmly. When she had to explain her powers to Wally the first time; she was a complete bitch about it and called him an idiot after she had to explain it more then twice. "Yeah, so don't let her touch you with out her gloves on." Wally stated angrily.

Kiwi narrowed her eyes at Wally.

"Well welcome to the team." Aqualad greeted as he held his hand out .

Kiwi grabbed it and shook it, "Glad to be on the team."

"The new girl's pretty cute, huh?" Robin asked as he watched Wally pace back and forth in Robin's room.

"Yeah, sure, right." Wally said quickly.

"I noticed you and her have a history." Robin smirked.

"A history!" Wally practically shouted, "You don't know who she is, do you?"

"Uh, no, I don't. My baddies are in Gotham, remember? Not in Central or Keystone City." Robin shook his head.

"Her name is Katalina Alonso. Kiwi was the name The Rogues gave her that name or whatever." Wally started, "The Rogues found her as a baby. They raised her and called her Mokking Byrd because she can copy powers like a Mocking Bird can copy sound. Katalina's a bad person, Rob. I don't care what anyone says. But she's smart as hell when it comes to plans. She once started two gang wars, and when the gangs were out beating the shit outta each other, she snuck in their bases and stole all there money and jewels."

Robin laughed, "She's good."

"It's not funny, Robin." Wally said seriously, "She almost destroyed the whole city. Don't you remember the Keystone Krash?"

"Oh yeah," Robin nodded, "That was when you went at it across town. That was you and Kiwi? How long did it take to rebuild half of the city?"

"Three months! She had the strength of Wonder Woman!" Wally shouted.

"Whoa, wait. How'd she get that power?"

"She…" Wally tired to think of the word, "well, she's not technically a bad…well, she has a criminal record, but she has helped me and Uncle Barry out a whole bunch of times. Like a hella lotta times. But she's violent and ruthless. She gives mercy and doesn't kill though. Even so, she can't be trusted."

"I think I could trust her."

"Are you insane, Rob?"

"Well, think about it, who has she told about your secret identity since she found out? You know, she could have told everybody who Kid Flash is." Robin suggested.

"She could have told the Rogues!"

"Could Have. But don't you think that if she did, The Rogues would have attacked you in your home a long time ago?"

"Well yeah,"

"So why are you so…icky around her?"

"Icky?"

"It was the first word I thought of." Robin shrugged.

"Because…Because she's…she's" He sighed. "She's confusing."

"Confusing?"

"She doesn't pick a side! I mean, she's helped us with a lot of things. And honestly, I think Katalina does have the potential to do good, Robin. I really do. But she's…she's violent and angry all the time. Like she's holding all her sad emotions and converting them into anger."

"Maybe that's just how she is." Robin shrugged. "I mean, Batman's kind of the same way. He doesn't talk much and doesn't really show any other emotion except anger. Especially when fighting. Sure it's kind of hard when I want him to express more of his feelings to me, but I've known Batman long enough to know that he's way more comfortable that way. And maybe, Kiwi's more comfortable like that too."

Wally sighed, "Maybe you're right. It's just-."

"Oh my god!" Robin shouted. "Stop doubting her! Okay, she's done bad things! I get it! But you gotta let it go! She's on the team now and it's our job to make sure she's going to stay on the team and move her into the right direction so she won't end up in jail like The Rogues."

Wally was a bit taken back by Robin's little speech.

Robin sighed, "Why don't you just…try to talk to her?"

Wally looked away, "I don't…know."

"At least try."

"It is lights out time." Red Tornado stated. "Mokking Byrd, you may sleep in Artemis's room or Miss Martian's room."

He then walked away.

"Did the refrigerator just talk to me?" Kiwi asked.

Wally growled, "That's our guardian, Katalina."

"It's Kiwi."

"Well, I call you Katalina. When I think you've earned my trust I'll call you Kiwi." Wally crossed his arms and walked away.

"He's just…being a baby right now." Robin assured. "At least he thinks he can trust you."

"He thinks." Kiwi said softly.

Robin looked at her. She seemed a little…sad; disappointed. She turned to Artemis and sighed. "Can I…sleep in your room?"

"Sure, no prob." Artemis shrugged.

Robin grabbed her arm, she looked at him and he smiled, "If you need to talk, you know where I am." He smiled.

Kiwi sneered and yanked her arm away. "Don't need to talk."

Sleeping while Mokking Byrd was sleeping in the same building was probably the most nerve wrecking thing in the word. Wally was paranoid; scared. A number of questions were swarming through his head: what if she was attacking Artemis in her sleep? What if she's planning something right now? What if she's killing everyone right now and I don't even know? He tried to brush everything off; he was being melodramatic. He needed to calm down and sleep. But how the hell do you sleep when your enemy is in the next room? He sat up as he heard soft footsteps echo through the hallway. He slowly got out of bed and walked over to the door; pressing his ear against the cold metal.

He could hear the soft steps against the floor and soft breaths being taken. As if the person was afraid. He narrowed his eyes as he knew who it was. He pressed his ear harder against the door; trying to get a full hold on where she was going. When he knew she was out of the hallway, he zipped out of his room, but remained quiet. He quietly walked out of the hallway and into the main room. And that's when he saw her: She stood in the kitchen, her hand in the bag of cookies, a sad expression on her face, short booty shorts that were as bright a blue as her hair, a loose faded blue tank top, her blue eyes showing from her fake blue locks that fell in her face. She softly bit at the cookie. Wally slowly walked over to the kitchen and leaned against the wall in the kitchen. She hadn't noticed him.

"It's pretty late. Sure you should be up this late?" He stated.

Kiwi jumped slightly. "Don't do that, Wallace."

"Wally," He corrected.

"When I respect you, I'll call you Wally." She smirked.

"Ha Ha. You're so funny."

"Hilarious."

"Why are you snooping around?"

"I wanted to get something to eat."

"Or you wanted to sabotage our base."

She stopped eating and glared up at him, "You really think I'm going to fuck your little friends up, do you?"

"I don't know, are you?"

She shrugged, "Maybe. Maybe not."

Wally's face went serious, "That's not funny."

"I wasn't joking."

He growled and stood up straight. "What are you planning?"

Kiwi laughed and put her cookie down, "You honestly think I'm going to plan something out? Too much work."

"Then why the hell are you here?"

"Because of your uncle." Kiwi answered coldly. "But don't worry, I'm thinking about skipping out tonight. Maybe that'll calm your nerves."

I would…But he couldn't let her. "No you're not."

"And why's that?"

"Because I promised Barry that I'll treat you like you're a part of this team."

"And how's that working out for you?"

He glared at her. "Shut up."

"Listen, Speeds, I don't want to be here. And It's pretty clear you don't want me here. So I'll just get out of your hair."

"To do what? Cause more trouble in Central And Keystone? I don't need that."

Kiwi threw a cookie at him; he easily dodged it, "Shut the fuck up. You really have problems with trusting don't you."

"Trusting you. Yes." He nodded. "How can I trust someone who has been raised by a bunch of crooks?"

Kiwi glared up at him. But this wasn't the normal glare that meant "Shut the hell up" or "I'm going to hurt you". No, this was the "If you say another word about them, I'm going to kill you" glare. The one that sent shivers down Wally's spine. And seeing the way she looked…how amazing she looked in the clothes she was wearing, they were shivers of ecstasy. He walked over to the small island in the kitchen and placed one hand on it; the other hand was scratching the back of his head nervously. "Look, I'm…uh…sorry about that. I'm just-."

"Not used to being paired up with your enemy?" Kiwi asked.

"Yeah," He looked down; blushing. "Sorry."

"It's fine. To be truthful, the real reason why I didn't want to be here is because I wanted to try and bust Captain Cold and the rest of the Rogues out of jail." She said nonchalantly as she took another bite of a cookie.

"What!"

"Yeah, but since I'm here, I guess I'll just wait 'till they get out." She shrugged.

"So are you saying that, other then that reason, you would want to be a part of this team?"

She stopped chewing and looked up; contemplating. "Ehh. Maybe."

"Why's it a maybe?"

"Because I might turn over if the bad guys offer something good."

He glared at her.

She giggled. Her giggle was sweet. "Why are you getting all mad for? You should know how I am."

He smirked, a small plan forming in his head. He walked over to her and grabbed her by the chin, "I wish you weren't. Such a waste for a talented, pretty girl like you to be all bad."

"If you're trying to seduce me, you suck ass at it. Get your hand off me before I break it." She glared at him.

Frowning, he pulled his hand off and glared down at her too. Damn, she was good.

"Besides," She reached up and wrapped her hands around his head; leaning in really close to his face until their lips were inches apart. "If you're gonna seduce me, make me feel like I can't threaten you."

She then pushed him off and looked at his face; blushing to hell. He was inches away from his first kiss. Of course she wasn't going to give it to him. He shuddered and she giggled; turning around and skipping away, "Maybe next time, Speeds."
