Chapter 4- Another Power

Wally looked Faith over as she turned to face him. She had dark brown curls and matching eyes, though you could hardly tell if you were looking at her swollen left eye. He noticed she had bruises on her forehead and arms as well as cuts and scrapes, she also had her arm around her middle like it was hurt as well. He let out a low whistle.

"What happened to you?"

"I got mugged yesterday. Just a bunch of scrapes and bruises, though I do have a cracked rib."

"Oh, that sucks... So I take it that you have no powers?" Faith wrinkled her nose, she had tried to fly away.

"I can fly."

"Really?" Wally asked trying to picture the battered girl flying the way the other Leaguers did.

"Yeah, but probably not right now, I'm still kinda weak."

"Right." he answered. He sped around her and offered his arm. "We'd better get you to your room before someone else decides to attack you."

Faith laughed and linked arms with him as he lead her down the hall.

The next morning after breakfast, Ollie took Faith back to the Medical Bay for a check-up. After J'onn informed them that she could resume her normal activities as long as she was easy on her ribs and kept them taped, Ollie took her to the gym again.

When they got there, he showed her all of the equipment and how it worked. Certain machines were only for heroes with certain powers, and so on.

"Take it easy though," Ollie warned protectively, "you're still recovering." Faith rolled her eyes and stuck out her tongue at him as she mounted a trampoline. She figured she'd better make sure she could fly steadily before doing it over the floor.

As Ollie watched, Faith lifted herself ten feet off the ground. Then she climbed her way to fifty feet- near the ceiling. Ollie had told her that they made it like that specifically for the Leaguers who could fly, they needed plenty of airspace. Faith took full advantage of the open area as she soared through the air.

"So, you really can fly."came a voice from below. Startled, Faith spun around to see that Wally had come in. However, because of her lack of focus, she started plumetting toward the ground. She braced herself for the impact, but someone caught her. She looked up at Wally.

"Guess you'd better work on your concentration." he laughed. Ollie ran over thoroughly upset as he scolded Wally,

"Be more careful! You could have gotten her hurt!" Wally set her down and she almost collapsed, but Ollie caught her. "I think that's enough flying for today." He sat her down on a mat nearby and Wally sat next to them.

"I've been thinking," Ollie started, he paused and Wally took advantage of it.

"Uh-oh! Didn't J'onn tell you you're not supposed to be doing that! Bad for the brain." He tapped his temple with a smile. Ollie glared at him and he raised his hands in mock surrender, "Okay! Okay! Continue."

"As I was saying, I was thinking about what you told me, about Melinda and the bluish-purple bubble around you." Wally raised his eyebrows and looked at Faith, she shrugged and turned her attention back to Ollie.

"Maybe you have a power other than flying. A power like making force fields?"

"What?" Faith asked in disbelief. "How could I have a power that I don't even know about? And why would I only use it when I'm asleep?"

"Maybe it was because you didn't feel safe in the house when Melinda was there."

Faith paused, "That would explain why it never happened when Dad was around."

"I know it sounds crazy, but lets just try it out, okay?"

Faith nodded

Practicing how to make force fields was hard but with Ollie's help she finally got it down. Control and concentration were the key things they worked on and she was proud when she mastered it. Before they knew it, it was lunch and Faith followed Ollie to a table with two men already seated at it.

"Faith, this is John, the Green Lantern, of GL for short. He was the one I mentioned being on a mission with on the phone the other day." Ollie informed her as he waved to a man in green on his right. "And this is Batman- we call him Bats."

"Hello, Faith." the man garbed in black cape and cowl greeted her.

"Nice to meet you, Batman."

Faith bowed her head to pray, then began to eat, listening to the lively conversation between John and Ollie. After a few moments, Batman turned to her.

"How is your recovery coming along?" he asked. Though she couldn't see his eyes she figured he was probably studying her bruises.

"Fine, I guess." she said after swallowing her sandwhich. "J'onn said that I'd probably be sore."

"That's good." he answered, then added, "Congratulations on finding your new power."

"How did you-" Faith started.

"I know alot of things." he cut in before she could finish. She decided to drop the subject.
