This chapter's a little shorter but still a good one. Thanks to all who are review and reading this. Enjoy reading!

The rain slowly came down on the ruins of the Powler home. Katie Powler's nimble body sat on the scorched porch holding a dark umbrella tightly with her fingers. She watched the rode for any sign of anything as she waited for someone to come pick her up. Tears came to her eyes as she looked behind her at her old home. If only it had rained the day of the fire. Getting lost in old memories, she finally heard the beeping of a taxi that was stopped in front of the home.

"Sorry I'm late. Ok, miss, get your bags it's time to go. I have to get you to the St. Paul orphanage by six." A kind old country cab driver called to her from the car.

She nodded silently and picked up her dampened bags which were lying next to her. It was just a couple of bags and a book bag. It wasn't much since the fire had destroyed mostly everything. She slowly walked down the steps, but stopped to look back at the old house one last time.

Katie Prowler was a very smart and beautiful girl. She was sixteen and had light brown hair like her father and bright green eyes like her mother, though both had passed away in the fire only a week ago. Since that day everything had changed and would continue to change. She use to be top student, with great friends, and a supporting family, but all of that was going to be taken away. Even with her abilities she had gotten by. How would she be able to conceal them now?

Her school and friends were now going to be much farther away.

Her possessions, even her pets, were destroyed in the fire.

Her home was destroyed as well.

Her family was now dead and gone.

Her entire life, all that she had known, was now gone.

How could she live like that? How could she live in a place that she didn't care for or want? How could she manage to hide everything she was, everything she could be?

So many 'how's' swamped her mind that she had to take a deep breath before she could think again. She let the tears fall this time as she said goodbye to her past and walked down the steps to her future.

Katie wiped her eyes then stopped half way down the steps. She felt something, someone, other than the man in front of her. Someone strong and dignified. Someone that needed to tell her something. That needed to tell her . . . . . Katie Powler whirled around abruptly, just in time to see Wonder Woman land on the brick steps.

"Are you Katie Powler?" Wonder Woman asked with a smile. Katie just nodded. What could she say? She was shocked, and not just because Wonder Woman was standing in front of her but for what she was about to say. Katie knew exactly what words would come out of her mouth just by looking into her eyes and she couldn't wait for them to be spoken.

"Yes, I would like to try out to be a Justice League apprentice." She said quickly and quietly letting out her beautiful voice with a smile on her face. She hadn't said a word since her parents died. Wonder Woman laughed as she remembered all the times J'onn had come and answered her questions before they had even escaped her lips.

"I heard you could read minds, so I came to ask you about it." Diana said sweetly, Katie's power wasn't the only thing she had heard about. For the first time in her life Katie was actually thankful to have her powers.

"You'll have a room and food, but I can't guarantee that you'll be able to stay." She continued. Katie understood and nodded. She wouldn't let it hinder her excitement. She would finally have a chance to show her worth. "Ok then, grab your bags and we can leave for the Watchtower." Wonder Woman said then turned to the shocked cabby. "Don't worry sir I've already spoke to the orphanage and she's free to come with me."

"Yes, miss. Um, uh, I'm sure you'll take good care of her." He said stuttering a bit and speaking in a strong country accent. He gave her a polite nod and got into his cab and drove off as quick as he could.

"Well, he was a nice man." Diana commented with a smile and Katie simply nodded. "Are you ready to go?"

"Yes." Katie responded with a slight smile on her face and in an instant they teleported to the tower.

That was chapter four, tell me how I did! I have more written already, I'm just waiting for some reviews!
