Chapter2-Hero tryouts

"Wait…. she's here?" asked Superman shocked
"Yes, she signed up." answered Brainy
"Which place is she?" asked Saturn girl
"By the looks of it…second" he answered in unemotionally
"Are you serious?!" exclaimed Bouncing boy excited after hearing what she did to the plant
"Do I joke?" asked Brainy
"Erm….not recently, ooh except that time when you went bonkers, now that was a laugh." he replied while laughing. A boy that looked like a porcupine walked in
"Hi porcupine Pete" greeted Saturn girl
"Hi." he said
"Ok Pete, do your stuff." said Brainy and Pete let off multiple spines at targets and got a few of them but missed more than he got,
"Ok Pete, better than last time." said Brainy and he walked out. "Ok next is you-know-who." stated Brainy
"yeah we know." announced Phantom girl who hadn't said much at all during the try-outs. She walked in looking round in awe

"So this is where you guys came from, cool. How much time do I have?" she asked looking at Brainiac 5

"Doesn't matter, just as long as you're good we don't mind." He answered smirking. A few seconds later the room was lit up by flames that emanated from her body. She smirked as the flames rose and turned into whips which she span round with one hand then mixed fire with electricity creating a tornado of elements. Then she morphed into a giant dragon. The twister disappeared as she morphed into other things.

"One question?" Asked lightning lad after she'd finished

"Yeah?" she asked

"Why do they call you Phoenix?" he asked wondering

"Watch," She said and her body once again became flames but her figure changed to that of a bird, a bird that looked exactly like the mythical bird of fire. Then the bird rose up and left the girl behind and began circling the room then landed beside her, she petted the birds head as it disappeared

"So how did you disappear?" asked Superman

"Oh, I go invisible, I can fly and teleport kinda like your classic ghost." She explained

"Ah." He said simply

"Is that it then?" asked Brainy

"Yepo…. unless you want more?" she asked wondering

"You have more?" asked phantom girl shocked

"Sure. Oh wait; there still other people out there. I'll go and get he next one." She said and ran out. A few other disasters later and a few good ones the auditions came to a close and Brainy as always was the one to announce the new recruits.

"Ok, after an eventful audition the ones to get in are: Fyro, Aqua girl and Phoenix." He announced and they walked up to the stage and took their flight rings and then went inside

"This is soo cool!" exclaimed Phoenix who was admiring her ring

"You do know that that ring has a tracker in it right?" asked Brainy

"I know. My powers over technology come in handy at times." She said smirking at him as he stood there shocked

"Exactly how smart are you?" he asked interested

"How about we have a game later, erm let's say, Chess?" she asked as he smirked at her

"I've never bin beaten at that game." He said

"Well prepare to loose." She challenged and disappeared.

"Where did she go?" asked Superman shocked

"This says she's in that room." Stated Brainy pointing at the small red dot on the screen

"Maybe you should go have your chess game now?" suggested Lightning lad smirking

"I was going to." He answered and walked off. When he found her the pieces had been set up and she looked bored

"What took so long?" she asked clearly bored

"I can't teleport." He said simply and sat down

"Ok you go first." She said and he moved the horse first

"Ok my turn." She said and moved her pawn twice forward, and then he took her pawn. After five moves he'd lost,

"How did you do that?" he asked bewildered

"Dude, my dad taught me how to beat anyone even people with a 12th level intelligence at chess in five moves…also I can read minds" she said

"So what am I thinking now?" he asked testing her

"You're thinking that…ouch, headache…dude think of one thing at once please. Ok now you're thinking of how I could have beaten you at chess." She smirked

"Evil." He commented playfully

"I try." She smirked at him.

"So who one?" asked Superman walking into the room

"I did." Stated Phoenix

"What?!" asked a very shocked Superman

"You heard me." She smiled in triumph

"You actually beat Brainy?" he asked still not believing

"Yep, she beat me, but it was unfair! She can read minds." He moaned sadly

"Aww poor you. Ok I have to know, where am I staying?" she asked

"Next door to Saturn girl," Answered Superman shrugging his shoulders

"Great" she said sarcastically then walked off

"I can tell you two are getting along." He smirked

"What?" he asked confused

"Nothing," He answered and walked out leaving a bewildered Brainy behind

"I still can't believe she beat me." He stressed.
