I lay on the hard ground, body twitching where the last jolts of electricity emerged. I could see Meghan groan and pull herself up. As Mr. Twister came towards us, I could see the outline of the camouflaged Bio-ship fly over us silently.

Good idea I thought to Meghan weakly, trying to control my spasming body.

"Fine then, I wont deny you children have power," Twister started unsure of where we were. Kid Flash was groaning, trying to get up; but Meghan put a hand over his mouth to silence him. He sat up silently and looked to me, heaving quietly on the ground. His eyes widened in alarm, but I flashed him a tight smile.

"If you confront me again, I will show no mercy." Mr. Twister finished his tirade, menacingly tightening his fist. He flew off towards town, ugly scarf trailing behind him. As soon as he was out of ear shot, Wally crept over to me. He reached out to grab my shoulder, but ended up getting shocked. I was breathing heavily as I raised my hand towards the barren forest and released all of the electric energy that remained in my body.

"Sorry…" I sighed heavily, glad to be free of the alien energy. Wally was rubbing his hand, which was burnt on his finger tips.

"Don't worry about it." he said grinning at me, but still holding his hand gingerly. The others were getting up slowly. I looked around at them and was relived that no one was hurt.

"What happened?" Kaldur asked rubbing his head.

"I put the Bio-ship between us…" Meghan began lightly. Superboy hit the colum of dirt he had turned up when he fell, and turned on her with a tight glare.

"And that's supposed to make it right?" he asked. Even I was surprised by his anger. I stood up slowly, assessing the damage. Oh yeah, I was going to be sore tomorrow.

"You tricked us into thinking it was Red Tornado." Superboy continued. I came to Meghan's defense. Poor girl was sitting on her knees in shame.

"She didn't do it on purpose." I stated returning his glare.

"It was a rooky mistake, we shouldn't have listened." Robin explained.

"You are pretty inexperienced." Kid Flash said, hands in his pockets. "Hit the showers, we'll take it from here." he finished. I could feel my anger begin to simmer. Did they forget that they themselves thought Mr. Twister was Red Tornado? I couldn't understand why they were being so cold towards Meghan. She had saved us all not 2 minutes ago by hiding us from the stupid villain.

"Stay out of our way." Superboy growled, running after Mr. Twister. Kid Flash and Robin followed him. I looked at my green friend, worried. She gave me a weak smile. Go protect them, you and I both know they need it. I'm fine her thoughts entered and echoed through my head. I gave her a small smile in return and ran after the guys, trying to regain all of the energy I had lost. As I approached the surrounding forest, I heard Kaldur run up beside me. The two of us ran quickly after our friends towards the sounds of destruction.

Coming into town was a shock. There were wrecked boats littering the ground along with other unidentifiable ruble. Superboy and Kid Flash had already started to fight as AquaLad and I jumped over a car. Mr. Twister turned to us and shot a mini tornado straight at us. I jumped out of the way while AquaLad twisted around it gracefully. A second current caught him and he was flung into one of the neighboring buildings. I ran at Mr. Twister, planning on hitting him from behind, but Kid Flash charged at him from the front. Mr. Twister sent a rush of air at him that flipped Kid Flash right next to me. Hearing the tell tale charge come from Mr. Twister's machine-hands, Kid Flash grabbed my hand and speed over to find shelter. We would have been hit if Superboy hadn't come at Mr. Twister, barely missing him. Mr. Twister sent Superboy flying in the direction he had flung AquaLad. He also pushed a huge boat after him. AquaLad had just enough time to roll out of the way before Superboy and the boat came crashing into the building, reducing it to a pile of ruble.

Kid Flash had ran with me behind the shattered remains of a boat. Robin joined us, pulling his belt full of gadgets out from under his shirt. I raised an eyebrow at him, but quickly lost interest as I watched AquaLad try to fight Mr. Twister as Kid Flash and Robin bickered behind me. If things kept going the way they were, one of us was going to get hurt, and if it was one of the guys, I would never forgive myself. Just as I was about to send one of the boats crashing into Mr. Twister, Meghan's voice interrupted my concentration.

Listen to me, I looked behind me and saw my friends visibly cringe All of you…

I heard Superboy yell something that I couldn't make out, probably something mean.

I know, Meghan thought defensively, And I know I messed up, but now im very clear on what we need to do. Thank goodness someone had a plan. Please trust me

Always I thought to her smiling. I could sense her happiness, and she began to reveal her plan, a plan I thought might just be crazy enough to work. After the guys and I were clear on what we had to do, we slowly advanced towards Mr. Twister. Before we got to far, Meghan (who had morphed herself into Red Tornado) flew in front of us.

"Hit the showers kids." she said in Red Tornado's robotic voice, and I had to stifle a giggle. "I thought you could handle this, but clearly, you can not." she stated. Robin played his part perfectly.

"But we have a plan now!" he whined.

"The subject is not up for debate." Meghan replied. We left her then, looking dejected, but hurrying to our positions. If all went according to plan, I was going to be expecting some more pain. As Meghan and Mr. Twister traded heroic banter, Kid Flash and I were pushing ourselves to the limits, Kid Flash running in circles to make tornadoes that could combat Mr. Twister's, and me, shooting rock and debris at him from the middle of the wind currents. Suddenly, I heard the whine of electricity.

Here it comes, get ready Vyx. Meghan thought to me. As she dodged the lighting, I prepared myself for the pain. This time, caught in the middle of a tornado, I was able to absorb most of the electric energy before it could shock me. My skin tingled as electricity swirled through my body. I was once again stunned by the amount of raw power I was controlling. Before I lost control of the lightning, I hurled it back at Mr. Twister, catching him by surprise and blowing him back into the bay.

I fell to my knees as Mr. Twister was thrown back onto land, AquaLad's doing, and Kid Flash formed a tornado around him that sent Mr. Twister straight to an awaiting Superboy. The clone tore off Mr. Twister's tornado creating arms using his bare hands. Meghan lifted Mr. Twister into the air and used her powers to rip off his remaining arm. Before my body could start convulsing, I sent the left over electric energy at him as Mr. Twister hung suspended in air. Combined with two of Robins bombs, Mr. Twister fell in a defeated heap on the ground. We all walked towards him warily. I stood with Wally's help after he was sure I wouldn't shock him again, and he put his arm around me to keep me from falling over.

Mr. Twisters chest opened in a puff of steam and smoke, and a thin, crazed looking man fell out onto the ground in front of us.

"Foul!" he whimpered, "I call foul." I looked at him in confusion. So Mr. Twister was a machine. I felt a pull of psychic energy and saw Meghan lift a boulder and send it crashing down on top of the little man. If I had had enough energy, I would have stopped it, regardless, I surged away from Wally's support and ran at her.

"No!" I cried raising my hand at her in shock. I fell to my knees as I tried to shakily rise the rock off of the squished man, but I didn't even have enough energy too move it. Robin was yelling at Meghan.

"I don't know how they do things on Mars, but on Earth, we don't execute our captives!" Meghan smirked at him knowingly and looked down at me.

"You said you'd trust me." she accused lightly, picking up the rock to reveal, not a flattened corpse, but a squashed pile of robot.

"That's why I couldn't read his mind." she explained grabbing my hand and helping me onto my feet. I hugged her in relief. My friend wasn't a psycho killer, Yay! Kid Flash grabbed one of the robots eyes.

"Cool." he said throwing it into the air and catching it, "souvenir."

"We should have had more faith in you." AquaLad said putting a hand on Meghan's shoulder.

"Yeah, you rocked this mission." Wally said waiting for us to laugh, I grinned at his goofiness. "You get it? Rocked…" he said again. Robin shook his head.

"Ignore him, we're just glad to have you on our team." Robin said. Meghan smiled.

"Thanks, me too." she said. I was really happy that everyone was getting along again, and that made my energy come back quicker. I gathered all the pieces of the robot man and Mr. Twister in a manifestation of my smoky, dark purple energy.

"We should take this back to base. This thing was obviously targeting heroes." I explained. The others agreed, and we flew home in the Bio-ship. I closed my eyes, feigning weariness as we passed over the ocean again. My stomach flipped uncomfortably no matter how many times I told myself that we were still over solid ground.

Soon enough, we were landing and all of us got of the ship a little sore. Meghan and I brought the pieces of robot to the observatory and laid them out on display for Red Tornado and Black Canary to see. My mentor had apparently left earlier in the day to the Justice League subspace station on urgent business, so Red Tornado was left in charge.

"It was clearly created to sabotage or destroy you." AquaLad stated after we had explained in detail the events that had taken place.

"Clearly." Red Tornado repeated, sounding bored, though don't ask me how a monotone robot voice can sound bored.

"Is that why you wouldn't come and help us?" Meghan asked.

"No," Red Tornado said quickly, "It was your battle, I do not believe it is my job to solve your problems for you. Nor should you solve mine for me." I looked at the hero, surprised by his coldness.

"But, if you're in danger…" I began, but red Tornado interrupted me.

"Consider this matter closed." he stated turning around to leave. Kid Flash, Robin, and Superboy, who had been analyzing the machine before came to stand at my sides, looking after Red Tornado.

"Bat Man, AquaMan, Flash would have jumped right in to fix things." Wally said.

"I guess if we're going to have a babysitter, a heartless machine is exactly what we need." Robin stated gesturing after Red Tornado.

"Dude, harsh." Wally stage whispered. I crossed my arms and glared at Robin.

"And inaccurate. I have a heart, carbon steel alloid." Red Tornado said turning back to us. "I also have excellent hearing." he said, making me cringe and Robins smirk to disappear. Robin laughed weakly.

"Right, sorry. I'll strive to be more accurate." he apologized uncertainly. I punched him in the arm, hard.

"And more respectful." I stated, looking back as Red Tornado walked down the hallway. Robin, AquaLad, and Kid Flash walked down the other hall toward our living room. I looked back at Superboy and Meghan smiling. I went after the guys, leaving the couple alone.

"Who wants to get their butts kicked at Call of Duty Black Ops?" I sang out skipping past the guys. I turned to see Robin's and Wally's faces light up, and Kaldur look confused. Suddenly, Kid Flash ran past me down the hall. Robin followed laughing.

Kaldur still looked confused. I looped my arm with his and skipped after the others happily. After we taught Kaldur how to play, I began making a huge amount of Macaroni and Cheese, about five boxes worth. It was the only thing I knew how to make that turned out edible. Superboy watched the others play and Meghan helped me with dinner.

He apologized for yelling at me she thought excitedly to me. I smiled.

Yay! I'm glad, not everyone was being very nice to you today. I answered.I began dishing out huge portions of pasta for the guys and called them into the kitchen. They looked at Meghan and I as if we were angels, which was true. Meghan and I ate our dinner while the guys watched Transformers, the whole time drooling over Meghan Fox.

"Meghan Fox isn't even that pretty." I exclaimed after I finished my meal.

"Yeah, you're much hotter." Kid Flash said as he came to put his dish in the washer. I blushed, and didn't say anything, lost for words. He winked at me and went back to his seat. Meghan watched him go and turned on me with wide eyes.

"You should see the things in his head!" she whispered at me, cheeks slightly flushed. I laughed at her reaction and called out a goodnight to the others. Meghan followed me into the hallway.

"He likes you." she said, stating the obvious. I rolled my eyes.

"I knew that already, he's been flirting with me since we met." I explained. Meghan's grin widened. Neither of us noticed the soft footsteps that trailed behind us silently.

"So…" she said hopefully.

"So nothing." I replied, "There will be nothing between us as long as we're in a team. It could ruin everything. It would be dangerous, unpractical, and totally irresponsible for us to have a relationship beyond friendship." A figure unnoticed by Meghan or I crept silently away.

"But…" Meghan started softly, sensing that I wasn't telling everything. I smiled girlishly, and twirled a strand of my long blonde hair around my finger.

"But he's strong, and funny, and totally cute. He's so kind and those eyes, I could get lost in them forever." I said dreamily. Now it was Meghan's turn to laugh.

"I knew it!" she stated happily. I rolled my eyes at her.

"It doesn't matter, if we were to date, or be together, It could be bad' regardless of how we feel about each other. I just need to get these feelings under control, and explain to him why we cant be together. If he even asks." I said feeling myself losing an internal battle. Meghan looked at me incredulously.

"What's the point of being a teenager if there is no drama? I don't know much about Earth and stuff, but I do know that you and Wally would be perfect together. Why live if you cant be happy? Why live if you cant love?" I had to admit, she made a very convincing argument. I bit my lower lip.

"I don't know Meghan. I'm tired, and I desperately need a shower. We can talk more about this in the morning." She smiled at me as I turned and went into my room, shutting the door softly behind me. I needed an Advil.
