Yup, dis is it! Evil Reborn! Read it read it read it!

Terry: I have been kidnaped by an alien.

Me: I came to this planet looking for intellegent life. Oops, I screwed up.

Terry::sweatdrop::



I watched as the young girl below me lit a ciggarette and took a deep drag. "Don't you know those things are bad for you?" She looked up in shock. "Tell me som'thin' I don' know." She walked away quickly. Not soon after, I heard screams. I took to the air and sped to the source. The same girl was surrounded by a group of Jokerz. "Let's make her smile!" They pulled out knives. I flew into the middle of the circle. "Who are you?" They asked. I smiled. "Don't you clowns know how to read the news?" I started launching attacks left and right. Jokerz flew as I punched and kicked with deadly accuracy. A few minuites later, they laid in piles around me. The girl was gone. "That's graditude for you," I muttered, turning to leave. In mid-air, I nearly collided with Batman.

Terry P.O.V.

"Huh?" I exclaimed, touching down below. She flew down to meet me. "Who are you?" Though she didn't wear a full-head mask like mine, she did wear a powder-blue eye mask that matched her kimono-style outfit. Her black hair was pulled into a knot on the back of her head, and it had two pale blue pins in it. "Call me Akuyo, Batman." My eyes widened. She knew my name? "There goes my intro." I said, looking around at the groaning Jokerz. "Yea." She half-grinned. "Well, since we both have secret identities to keep up, we better get home. See ya!" She flashed me a peace sign and flew away. No rockets?

"Does she know anything else?" Wayne asked in the Batcave. "Not that I know of.'' I said, sitting on a table. "If she does, she's not letting on. You find anything?" He spun in his chair to face the giant Batcomputer. "Very little. All I can find are a few news articles about her...exploits. She attacks Jokerz, small-time gangs, stuff like that. Apparently she's very interested in Derek Powers." I looked up. "Powers?" "Yes. That's all it says, though." "Does it say anything about her being able to fly?" Bruce lifted an eyebrow. "No." I bit my lip.



The next day, I yawned and stretched as the teacher called roll. "Tan, Dana?" "Here!" The Science teacher put his roll book away. "Very well, everyone is-" He was cut off as someone knocked on the door. "Come in!" A girl with black hair, pulled into a braid down her back with a pale blue ribbon at the end, walked to the front of the room. She and the teacher whispered for a second, then they both turned to the class. "This, class, this is Oyuka Makenari. Miss Makenari, you may take the seat next to Mr. McGiniss." I raised my hand, and she walked towards me. As she sat down, I saw her eyes. They were the most startling shade of green I had seen. Probably contacts.

Oyuka P.O.V.

I tried to pay attention to the teacher's lesson, but all too soon, I found myself dozing off. I laid my head down, though I tried not to. "Psst!" That McGiniss guy threw a waded-up note at me. I uncrumpled it and read:

You ever hear of Akuyo?

I wrote back:

Maybe.

He read it and raised an eyebrow. "Mr. McGiniss?" He looked at the teacher. "Yes?" "You and Miss Makenari can stay after class to explain this little chatroom to me."

Terry P.O.V

I laid my head on my desk, but Oyuka just shrugged. "No big." The teacher scowled. "Fine. You have detention." As he walked towards his desk to write it up, Oyuka closed her eyes tightly. The teacher stopped short. "What was I doing again? Oh, yes." He started going on about multi- celled organisms. The entire class stared in wonderment, first at the teacher, then at Oyuka. I stared hard at her. Was she hiding something?

After school, I headed for Wayne Manor. In the Batcave, I explained Oyuka to Bruce. "Psychic powers. Oyuka Makenari....I remeber that name..." He began typing on the massive keyboard of the Batcomputer. "She was in Juvi a few years back for breaking into a Tokyo museum. He criminal alias was Aku, or Evil." I considered this as I pulled on my mask and went out.

Flying around Gotham, I saw a group of Jokerz crowded around a girl. Akuyo! She pulled out a pair of katanas, curved knives. She started slicing Jokerz left and right. She was good with those things! Still, the Jokerz overpowered her. I swooped in, feet first, and started kicking Joker ass. She pulled herself into a corner, bleeding from a dozen gashes. By the time I was finished, she was unconsious. Picking her up, I took her to the Batcave.

"This is Akuyo?" Wayne asked skepticly as he began to treat her wounds. I nodded. "That's her. The Jokerz ganged up on her." He finished with the bandages and walked to the computer. "Go home. I'll tend to her here." I nodded. With a last look at Akuyo, I left.



The next day in school, Oyuka was absent. I narrowed my eyes in thought. "McGiniss, what's on your mind?" Max asked as we sat down to lunch. With a glance at Dana, I shook my head. She got the point and changed the subject. After school, though, she pressed me. "Let me get this straight. Oyuka used to be a be a criminal, you saved Akuyo's ass, and Wayne doesn't think she's the real deal?" "Put loosely, yea. Max, I need your help. Find everything you can on Oyuka Makenari. But keep it covered up. I don't want anyone finding out about her record." She rolled her eyes. "I could have kept quiet, but noooooo, I had to be the sidekick." I rolled my eyes and headed for Wayne's.

When I got to the Batcave, Akuyo was sitting up straight. Her hair had fallen out of its bun, and hung to her knees. She looked up when I walked in, and I saw the brightest green eyes I had ever seen. "Oyuka?!?" I nearly yelled, startled out of my skull. "McGiniss?!?" she shouted, standing. Wayne turned around and glared at us. "Sorry," she said. "I'm just surprised." "You're surprised?" I asked, still trying to calm down. "I thought you were a criminal!" She glared at me. "Well, I used to be. That's why my family moved here. I shamed them in Tokyo. When we moved to Gotham, I had to somehow make things right. So I discarded Aku, and became Akuyo. I hear you have a similar past."

Oyuka P.O.V.

He narrowed his eyes and glared. I matched his intensity. Silence. "Thank you for helping me. I will keep your secret well, if you keep mine." I bowed to Mr. Wayne and raised into the air, preparing to leave. "Wait." I looked down at McGiniss. "Answer this for me. How do you fly?" I smirked. "Haven't you figured it out yet, McGiniss? I'm the Tokyo psychic girl." I left, looking back on Terry's startled eyes.

Next morning, I stared pointedly at Terry. When he (finally) looked up, I stuck my fingers up on either side of my head, imitating the Bat Ears. He nodded and placed his fingers around his eyes, imitating my mask. Max walked in between us and winked. I raised my eyebrows at Terry, who shrugged. Dana just sat there, totally lost.

After class, we had a chance to actually speak. "I have a few questions," said Terry, as we walked to lunch. "What's with the Jokerz? With your pow-''

He stopped short as Dana walked up behind us. "What's with the what?" she asked, looping her arm around Terry's. "My psychic powers." Terry's eyes widened and Dana stared. "You're a psychic?" I shrugged. "Yeah. No big. I mostly use it for getting out of trouble, secret messages, stuff like that." She narrowed her eyes. "I don't believe you." I closed my eyes. Oh, don't you? She gasped as the message was sent to her brain. I winked, put a finger to my lips, and walked away, leaving Dana scratching her head.

That evening, I followed Terry to the Batcave. "Oyuka, what are you doing here? I thought you were your own hero." "Heroine," I corrected him. "And as much as I hate to admit it, I need your help. There is one guy I can't take down."

Terry P.O.V.

"Just one?" I retorted. She narrowed her eyes. "McGiniss, back off. Let's hear what she has to say." Bruce stood, gripping his cane. She nodded at him and continued. "Blight. Derek Powers. My mother worked for him when we first came to Gotham. Then he fired her. My father didn't have a job. The only salary coming in was what I managed to scrap together working at Rhino's. We lived on chili for months, until my father got a job as a tech. He didn't make much, but we made ends meet. We're still fighting creditors. My mother died from a heart attack, the result of so much stress. I want Powers to fry in eternal hell." I focused on the floor and didn't look up. Flashing through my mind were the ever-so-vivid memories. The Joker paint, scrawled on the wall. My dad, laying in a pool of his own blood. Power's henchman, dead by electrocution. "I'll help you," I said, pulling on my mask. "You will?" She sounded surprized. "Yea. I've got a little war of my own against Powers."

Me:oooooooooh! I getting good at this!

Terry:Why did you write me as a jerk?

Me: Because it's my freakin' story. I'll have chapter 2 up soon.
