Also forgot to mention that Penny/Glance does have powers(or, a power): she has adaptive muscle memory, which means that she can flawlessly perform any feat of the body(dance, acrobatics, advanced/any fighting techniques…), as long as she witnessed someone else do it; hence the alias 'glance', because she doesn't have to watch for any specific amount of time.

Plus, being mute, she's homeschooled, therefore giving her 'activities' lots of flexibility. Anyways, on with the story!

mmmmmmmmmm LINEBREAK mmmmmmmmmmmm

Penny had a week to spend, and naturally, the first thing she did was go to the beach. She had stopped by the house she was renting and dropped of most of her stuff there, only keeping a small polyester gym bag containing her invisibility/utility belt and a protein bar for in case she got into trouble(the belt is for trouble, the protein bar isn't). However, dressing up in khakis, a white short-sleeved shirt, flip-flops, and a pair of orange-tinted sunglasses probably wasn't the best idea for concealing her identity or for combat. But hey, she was on vacation(sort of). And nobody would recognize her here anyways.

But of course the combat part had to come into play.

Penny dug her toes into the sand, feeling the crystalline grains rush effortlessly between them, and grinned at the water. The early afternoon sun was a orb of bright colors, and hardly anything could be heard over the perpetual thrum of the ocean. Well, except for that crash, just now. And oh, that other one- Penny whirled around, turning her sights to the Happy Harbor power plant, and the light grey swirling clouds that made up a tornado. She may be merely visiting Happy Harbor, but Penny was pretty sure those things weren't common here.

And what other rational decision could she possibly make, other than to investigate?

It was a quick sprint to the parking lot, and Penny stayed just at the fringe of the area where she felt the tornado starting to tug on her, sidling against a tree. She slung her bag off of her shoulder and pulled out her belt buckling it around her waist just in case she needed to be invisible, or needed any other of the various gadgets she had stowed in there.

Suddenly, a red and black aircraft slid out of the tornado's thick winds, coming to a rest in the parking lot, which was now free of cars. Five teenagers dropped out from the bottom, but Penny couldn't make out their faces from where she was. Wait, had they been piloting that plane? I'm feeling sort of jealous…

The aircraft disappeared, most likely by a cloaking device of some sort, and the tornado swiftly progressed around the power plant, sending panicked workers running out of the building. It didn't seem to be hurting the civilians, instead heading straight inside the power plant without damaging the structure.

The dark-skinned teen said something, but try as she might, Penny couldn't tell what he was saying. However, his action drew her attention to the group again: a green-skinned and reddish-haired girl(like the Martian Manhunter?), a caucasian redheaded boy, the dark-skinned boy, and another caucasian boy with deep black hair.

Wait, hadn't there been five teens?

The group seemed to notice their friend's absence as well, because they all made a beeline for where the tornado had vanished. After a moment's hesitation, Penny followed, activating her invisibility belt. She didn't know for sure, but she thought she recognized the dark-skinned boy. She needed a closer look at his face; never mind the plant workers, they should be fine running away from all the action; Penny was heading in.

She entered just in time to hear the black-haired and well built teenager ask the black-haired boy wearing sunglasses(ones that did a much better job of keeping someone's identity secret than Penny's) who was also laying on the ground, "Who's your new friend?"

"Didn't catch his name, but he plays kinda rough," the boy replied in a irritated voice. He had clearly been tossed around before Penny had arrived at the scene. Speaking of which, she glanced at the dark-skinned boy from earlier, finally putting a name to his now clearly visible face. Aqualad? That means the others must be proteges of the League as well. Probably.

However, the main attraction of the circumstance was the bulky robot posed in the center of the room. It was mottled in red and black, light blue tube sprouting out the back and a raggedy, dull, scarf flowing with the wind that was blowing around the robot.

"My apologies," the android droned, "you may address me as Mister Twister."

New dubbed 'Mister Twister' promptly sent twin gusts of wind out of his hands, aiming them both at the bigger black-haired boy*, who managed to resist the gale for a few seconds, even advancing towards the villain, until Mister Twister changed its robot mind and sent a mini-tornado at him, which effectively knocked him against a wall- and out.

Then there was this really intense(for them, but awkward for Penny) show of the group just nodding their heads at each other as the smaller black-haired boy picked himself off the floor with a slight groan. Penny climbed around the railing area and watched, prepared to intervene if need be as they charged the waiting robot. The redhead(or is he a ginger?) was the fastest, starling Penny with his superhuman speed, though if they really were partners to the League, it made sense; he would probably be Kid Flash.

Maybe-Kid-Flash did a roll and tried to kick Mister Twister with both his feet, but it was straightforward attack, and the robot was prepared, easily blowing Maybe-Kid-Flash right out the wide, open part of the power plant, causing him to tumble on the rough asphalt of the parking lot. That looks like it caused some extreme road burns.

As Penny was wincing at the sight of Kid Flash(okay, how likely is it that another ginger/redhead with superspeed is teamed up with Aqualad? So, not 'maybe') skidding across the ground, the martian girl and Aqualad ran(in the girl's case, flew) towards the android, only to be treated the same way, the atlantean slammed against a pillar, and the girl against the railings near the entrance. Only the kid(who could possibly be Robin, or someone else entirely) wearing the sunglasses was left, and he had spent the majority of the brief fight clutching his ribs.

"I was prepared to be challenged by superheroes," Mister Twister said in what could be considered a smug tone, had he not been a robot, "I was not, however, expecting children."

Oh, he did not just pull that one out on them! Sure, most of them looked younger than Penny(she looked young herself- more the size of a 14-year-old than a 16-year-old thanks to her ancestry), but it was obvious that they were all teenagers. Which technically isn't children. And Sunglasses apparently thought so to, because he threw two projectiles at the android, indignantly yelling, "we're not children!"

Penny took this as her cue, since Mister Twister would be occupied with said projectiles and hopefully wouldn't notice if she landed on his back where all the tube things were. Maybe if she destroyed those, he would shut down, or at least lose his ability to manipulate wind.

Landing on his back was the easy part. Penny took a large leap, snagging one of the tubes in her invisible hands as the first projectile blew up in Mister Twister's face, and she hauled herself onto his shoulders, trying to not to bring Twister's attention to the sudden weight increase. The hard part, however, was figuring out how to break the tubes. They had supported her weight, so they were pretty strong, but just how strong?

Mister Twister pulled out the second projectile a flicked it away in disdain before replying to Sunglasses, "Objectively you are. Have you no adult supervision? I find your presence here quite...disturbing."

"Well, we'd hate to see you disturbed," Sunglasses retorted as the banter continued. The martian girl, Aqualad, and the larger black-haired boy who Penny now noticed was wearing the Superman symbol on his shirt had all gotten up again, prepared to keep fighting. "Let's see if you're more turbed once we kick your can!

Wait, 'turbed'? Is that a word? Momentarily distracted, all Penny could do was hang on for dear life as the martian girl used telekinesis to send a large amount of steam into Twister's vision, as well as Penny's. She would have to think of something soon, or she would accidentally get hurt by the young heroes' attacks.

Speaking of which, Superman Symbol was letting out a roar, about to bring his fists down on the robot. Luckily for Penny, but not so luckily for the boy or the martian girl, he was sent flying by more wind gust attacks and collided with the girl mid-flight.

At any second, Mister Twister could make a sudden move and feel her moving on his back, and Penny didn't intend to be blown away by his power(Someone call the joke police! That pun was a crime! A disgrace! Just plain horrible!) anytime soon.

Penny positioned herself so that she was back-to-back with the robot, hands hanging onto the prominent tubes and feet resting against one of the other tubes. She could hear whoever was still standing rushing Mister Twister. Now or never. She started to bring her feet towards herself and sharply kicked out, both feet straining against the tubes.

And it popped out of Twister's back- but as it did, Mister Twister shifted abruptly, moving downwards as he practically punched the ground, sending Penny dangling from the left tube, other arm having let go of the now-broken right tube. The last of the bright blue fluid splattered against her belt, causing the central device that controlled her invisibility to make a hissing noise, and suddenly Penny was visible.

And hanging by one arm from a supervillain, who had just finished whamming Sunglasses and Aqualad together with his tornado powers, and whose head had now rotated just enough to look at the teenage girl taking him for a joyride.

"Well, what do I have here?"

mmmmmmmmmm LINEBREAK mmmmmmmmmmmm

*why couldn't they have made Superboy's hair some other color? I had to call him 'the other black-haired boy' a lot. Plus, I apparently cannot tell the difference between a ginger and a redhead.

But did I do okay with this chapter? Any ideas for the next storyline-maybe the next YJ episode, or getting to know the team?

And don't say you hate cliffhangers. They're awesome!

And sometimes annoying.
