Yeah. Let's just take a look.

Our tale starts in a little town called Happy Harbor, where our distressed heroine was currently yelling nonsense in a cave.

"HALLOWEEN?! WHA- how did I forget about Halloween?" PQ huffed as she plopped down on the green couch of the Cave, watching static with Connor, who was currently the only one home.

"I don't know, PQ."

"And it's toMORROW? What am I gonna do?" she groaned, putting her face in her hands.

"Why don't you just go buy a costu-"

"HA HA HA HA HA! RIGHT!" she glared at the half-Kryptonian. "Cause every store is gonna have a great costume on the day before Halloween."

He's got a point...

"You stay out of this! Nnnnnnnngggggh what am I gonna do?"

Connor sighed, before turning off the television and standing up and grabbing her hand, dragging her towards the zeta.

"Hey! Where are we going?"

"To the store," he sighed again as she zapped out of his hand. "What?"

"I still can't go through the zeta cause Batman won't give me a thingy. It'd be so cool if it would say 'PQ, Z-1'"

"Meet me at the mall," and with that, he was gone, the computer announcing his exit.

"'Meet me at the mall. Meh meh meh.'" she mocked.

Just go.

"Fine."

She found Connor outside the mall, waiting for her.

"Kay, dude. What's our plan?" she asked, staring up at him. He was only a few inches taller, but he still made her feel pretty short.

"Who do you want to be?" he asked.

"Um... Ummmmmm... Oh! I wanna be a person that skates around in restaurants... but like eighties styled!" she nodded.

"Right. So we need an eighties costume and a pair of skates?"

"Yeah! Lezgo! You find skates, I'll get the costume!" she ran into the mall, immediately dashing into a Halloween store.

She ran to the counter, skidding to a stop and banging her hand on the counter, "I need an eighties costume, stat."

The lady behind the counter chuckled, "Follow me."

On the way to the costumes (which were in back) the lady made small talk.

"Last minute, hm?"

"Well, I kinda forgot it was Halloween?"

"How do you forget Halloween?"

"Well, it's never been a big thing, but this year, I'm going with my awesome group of friends!"

"Sounds great. So which one?" she pointed to a rack of different styled eighties costumes.

"Mm, that one," PQ pointed to a black dress that had a pink crop top over it with a green and yellow belt. She was going to add black knee high stockings, hoop earrings, and lots of bracelets.

"Good choice," the lady grabbed a step-ladder and grabbed the dress, leading PQ back out into the front of the store.

"That'll be twenty-nine ninety-five," the lady smiled.

PQ reached into her purse, grabbing six five dollar bills, "Keep the change."

"Alrighty," the lady said, handing her the receipt. "Have a fun, safe, spooky Halloween!"

"You too!"

Connor finally came to the food court an hour later, holding skates in a bag.

"I didn't know what size you were, so I just got you an adult size," he told her as she passed him his root beer.

"That's cool. What color?"

"Neon pink. That was a popular color in the eighties, right?"

"Yup! Gimme some skin," she held out her hand.

"You mean high five?" he looked at her curiously.

"Yup, put 'er there."

"So, whaddya guys think?" PQ asked through her gum, twirling in her eighties outfit. She hadn't straightened her hair that morning after she'd showered, so it was super curly, giving her an Afro effect. Her stockings went a little higher so she could stay warm, and her skates fit perfectly. She was loving every minute of this.

"You look fabulous! Halloween selfie!" Raquel whipped out her phone.

They had all come as different things. PQ was an eighties hopper, Dick was a ninja (go figure), Zatanna was Wonder Woman, Wally was a zombie, Megan was Miss America (quite literally), Artemis was a biker chick, Kaldur was Michael Jackson (who existed in this universe, thank goodness), Connor was a wrestler whom he'd named "Con El Mas", and Raquel was a flapper.

Megan used her powers to hold the phone and snap the picture.

In the picture, PQ had a duck face, Raquel smiled with her hand in the air, Connor bared his teeth, Megan floated above him with her elbows resting on his head and her winningly smiling face cupped in her hands, Dick did the crane position next to Wally, who was pretending to eat Artemis, who was doing a rock n' roll sign, Zatanna posed heroically next to Raquel, and Kaldur did MJ's famous crotch grab.

"Alright guys, let's head out!" Megan said excitedly.

Receiving woops in reply, the gang took off, only PQ noticing a smiling Batman in the shadows.

"Alright, first place to hit," Dick grinned, "haunted house on Bleak Street."

"Aw man! That's like a mile away! No way are we walking," PQ grumbled. "Everybody grab two peoples and hold on."

After everyone was holding on and they were all linked, PQ pulled them through to Bleak Street, watching as they stumbled.

"Dizzyness is a side-effect," she explained, waiting patiently as they got their bearings.

"Can we not ever do that again?" Artemis asked, rubbing her head.

"Yeah, maybe. But we're here!"

And they were. There was a haunted house sitting right in front of them.

"So have you guys ever done this?" PQ asked them, peering at the house. It had green-tinted smoke billowing from the door as people entered.

"Nope. Last Halloween we were all kinda occupied," Zatanna told PQ, remembering Harm and Gretchen.

"Sorry," PQ paused before smiling, "Lezgo."

And in they went. Of course, they had to wait in line for a lot of minutes and also they had to pay, and sign a contract that said they wouldn't sue if they had a heart attack from being touched (it was one of those), but details, details. We don't have the time.

As they all went up to the entrance, they found that you could only take six people at a time, so they split into two groups. First group was Raquel, Kaldur, Wally and Artemis, and second group was Dick, Zatanna, Megan and Connor, while PQ decided she'd just migrate through the two groups. No one would know.

She went at first with the first group, keeping with them as they walked into the first part. The door slammed shut behind them, causing everyone but PQ and Kaldur to jump. The room was caked in darkness. Continuing down the hallway, everyone jumped as suddenly a wall opened and a dark figure reached out at Raquel, grabbing her shoulders and shaking her while screaming. The rest of the group slowly backed away, chuckling slightly.

That is until the person pulled her through, closing the wall. She watched as Kaldur ran up to the wall, putting his ear next to said wall.

"I don't hear anything," he sighed.

PQ gave a chuckle. She received three questioning glances.

"Okay. Come on guys, you know it's a trick right?" she asked. She'd been through several haunted houses before, she knew exactly where it was going.

"Nope," Wally said, giving a slight glare. "It seems like she's gone, seeing as she's not even in the room anymore!"

"No, I mean, guys. This place is legit. We'll see her at the end."

She faced several uncertain faces.

"She's fine. At most, she probably had a heart attack," PQ joked.

"Yeah, and even if it's not that, we can't do anything about it from here. We have to keep moving," Artemis told them.

"Stay traught guys. It's only four more houses!" PQ smiled. "Lezgo."

And they continued through the rest of the house without any complications. As they stood in line for the next house, PQ quickly backtracked to the other group.

"PQ! Thank god! They took Robin!" Megan seemed frantic.

"No guys it's okay. He's fine. They took Raquel from our group." She turned to Connor, "Look bro, if they try to take you, you have to let them. It's a trick to rile up the group. You can't show them your super powers, kay?"

Connor grunted a reply.

"Great. Now, I'm gonna go catch up with my group, because they're probably at the front of the line for the next house. See ya!"

She blew a bubble with her gum, disappearing as it popped.

PQ caught up to the first group, explaining how they'd taken Dick (though she called him Robin).

They walked into the second house, weary of what might happen. But after heading through the house with minimal problems (except a few jump scares that made Wally scream like a little five-year-old girl), everyone was really relaxed.

Then, a clown ran out of nowhere, grabbing Wally's hand, and dragging him away.

They stood frozen as Wally's yell was cut off as a door slammed.

Never have any of them ran quicker than they did to the exit.

No like, seriously, they booked it.

PQ was beginning to feel less sure of herself. But she stayed brave for the other two, who were freaking out currently.

"Guys, it's coo-!"

Artemis got right up in PQ's face, "Cool? How in the whole universe, yours and mine, is this cool?"

It was actually very intimidating and PQ suddenly felt very self-conscious.

Kaldur stepped forward, pulling Artemis a few steps back, "Artemis, remember it's just a trick. None of it is real. It'll be best if you keep a clear head."

Artemis sighed, "Right, right. Okay."

So they went into the next house, PQ checking up on the other group and finding that Megan was gone.

Connor was doing well, and actually helping Zatanna calm down.

She caught up to Kaldur and Artemis and they went in. This one was outside, and it was an almost empty town. There were several signs that warned of disease.

PQ stopped suddenly, staring at the small child in front of her.

The boy was very short and stared up at her with wide blue eyes. The boy was covered in what looked like blood and his clothes were ripped.

He turned and pointed towards the way they should go, and glancing at the two teens over her shoulder, PQ thanked the kid and followed his finger, the other two following suit.

As she reached the end, PQ turned to look at the two, gesturing to herself, "See guys? What did I say? That wasn't so ba-" and that's when she noticed that Kaldur and Artemis weren't even there anymore. "Guys?"

Breathing deeply, PQ turned to the line. Everything was fine. She was okay. She'd be okay.

An idea popped into her head and she popped back to Zatanna, who was looking frazzled.

"Hey, dude you okay?" PQ asked, ignoring the fact that she'd made Zatanna jump.

"Oh thank god you're here. I'm freaking out. This honestly stopped being funny at the second house," Zatanna explained how Connor had been taken a couple seconds ago.

PQ sighed, listening to the sounds of their feet crunching the leaves as she told her about Kaldur and Artemis.

"Without a noise?" Zatanna asked, looking at PQ. She only then took notice of how small the girl was. Her eyes were at Zatanna's shoulder level.

"Sorry not everyone can be tall," PQ grumbled, not remembering that Zatanna and actually the whole group were a couple years older than her.

"Sorry. I was just thinking," Zatanna apologized.

"Nah, it's cool. Everything's good. Everything's fine," PQ replied, brushing her apology into the wind.

Zatanna looked as if she was about to say something, but was quickly cut off as a giggling little girl (who was apparently stronger than she looked) dragged her away.

"Zatanna! Wait, come back!" PQ yelled, despite the fact that she knew that it wasn't possible.

She continued her walk down the crunchy leafy road, she felt kinda like crying. Since she was alone, the jumpscares were all that much scarier, and by the end of the third house, her nerves were shot. She stood quietly in the line, gathering her thoughts before the next one.

What if this wasn't a joke? She'd seen enough horror films (and read enough comics) to know that this could be a situation gone wrong. This could be some elaborate trap set by villains who have figured out the valuable information that is their secret IDs. The more she thought about it, the more nervous she got for them and herself, though she knew she could zap them all out of there if she wanted.

She almost squealed as she saw the 3D glasses. It couldn't be that bad if there were 3D glasses right?

She gladly took one as she went in. Everything in the last house was holographic. And not horrible holographics that you can tell are holos, nope. The really good ones that are very graphic. There were zombies and pirates and ghouls and the occasional cutie to calm your nerves. After being jumpscared a zillion times, she finally saw the door. Her fear that she wouldn't see the gang at the end had slowly been growing since she entered the fourth house.

"If I get jumpscared one more time," she muttered. "I think I'm gonna cry. Or die. Or maybe both."

Hand on the doorknob, she sighed in relief as she opened the door-

then yelped as she was scared by the entire team, none of them keeping a straight face. Dick and Zatanna fell over the top of the doorframe, Wally, Artemis, Megan and Connor all were on the sides of the doorframe, and Raquel and Kaldur were behind her, giving her the spook of her life.

She was so spooked, in fact, that she decided that running would be a good idea (which it never is in skates so don't try it). She tripped and skidded, rolling as she did so. There wasn't a carpet or any kind of padding, so she ended up skidding and rolling on the pavement.

When she stopped, she laid there a moment, soaking it all up. They were all okay, and this really was a legit haunted house.

She sat up, groaning as she did so. She took notice that a lot of people were staring, and she felt her cheeks warm, but she brushed it off.

"Mads, you made it sound really bad."

Let me finish. Her right arm had a nice road rash covered in small rocks from her shoulder to her elbow along with one on her left knee that was also covered and dripping down on to her ankle. Her other arm and knee were scraped. Her right ankle had been twisted in the fall and now hurt to move. Her costume was ripped in several places, and wherever they were ripped, blood dampened the clothing.

PQ stood up, despite the burning sensation all over her body and the tears that were beginning to form in her eyes, and skated out of the haunted house place, and finding a place that did not have a lot of people.

She vanished to the Cave, quickly removing her skates. She found her right ankle was bruised and swelling, which probably meant it as sprained. She tapped it lightly, but even that felt like it was the worst thing ever, and tears stung her eyes, making it hard to see.

'Suck it up,' she thought as she grabbed her skates, and using the walls, slowly limped to the infirmary.

She dug through cabinets, feeling her first priority was taping an ice pack to her ankle to bring down the swelling. She honestly had no idea how to treat a sprained ankle, so after taping the ice pack around it, she moved to the rest of her body, taking off her shirt to examine her torso. She sighed, remembering how her mother had done it. She grabbed a clean towel, poured alcohol on it, and placed it on her torso, hissing as she did so.

She quickly cleaned whatever needed to be cleaned, most of them just being large cuts, and bandaged them, using what little knowledge she had from watching television as a kid.

Luckily, nothing was too bad and everything was fixed with bandages (except the ankle of course). It just looked bad.

"Told you," PQ said in monotone focus voice.

She did the same with her arm and knee, going through several towels. She heard the computer announce that the Team arrived a couple minutes later, and threw on a spare shirt that I provided, seeing as she couldn't just put back on her grimy gross costume.

The shirt was long and it covered her butt so she could work on the smaller cuts on her legs without her booty being shown to everyone (which she honestly wouldn't care about, she just didn't want to embarrass the team).

They came in a couple minutes later and she sighed, looking up from her many bandages (the small ones. They had Phineas and Ferb all over them, per her request).

"Hey, one of you come fix my foot," she propped her leg up on the table, lazily pointing at it. "It was swelling so I wrapped ice around it. But I looked up how to tell if your ankle was sprained a year ago when I fell out of a tree and I have two of the symptoms. Swelling and bruising."

She didn't hear anyone move. "Come on. I know one of you - at least Rob - knows how to fix a sprained ankle right?"

They all entered the room cautiously, their faces filled with an emotion she couldn't place.

"Are you okay?" Megan asked, concern filling her features.

"Yeah, but I really need one of yall to come check out my foot."

"No, we know that," Raquel started. "We mean are you okay-okay. You took a pretty nice fall and got a lot of attention."

"Yeah. Rob, please?" she pointed again to her foot.

Dick scurried to her side, examining the leg. He reached out to touch it, only to be met with PQ's panicked, "DON'T TOUCH IT! WHAT ARE YOU STUPID? TAKE YOUR HAND AWAY!"

"How am I supposed to examine it if I can't touch it?" Dick asked her, mocking frustration.

"Fine, but don't - OW! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING DOWN THERE?"

"Examining," he replied easily. He looked up, "Yeah, it's sprained."

"Oh great. What now? Do you need wrap? I have special wrap that Maddie has granted me!" she showed him her Perry the Platypus wrap.

"Why aren't you mad?" she heard Artemis ask behind her. She winced at her angry tone. "If I were you, I'd be pissed. I mean, you know we set that up right? The whole everyone-disappears-leaving-you-by-yourself? Yeah we asked the house directors if they could do that for us. So, now that you know-"

"I'm not gonna get mad," PQ told her quietly, gaining the attention of everyone in the room. They'd never heard her this soft spoken. "It's a waste of time. It'll be gone in like two minutes anyways."

PQ had been hoping that she and Artemis could be good friends, but she was seriously intimidating. She kept making PQ feel really small, which PQ didn't enjoy one bit.

Memories attempted to rush to her brain to replay themselves, though PQ pushed them back. They weren't worth looking back on.

"So how'd you patch up? And did you remember your back?" Dick asked her calmly as he finished wrapping the ankle.

"Crud monkeys. No I think I forgot my back," PQ looked at Megan. "Hey can you check my back super quick?"

Megan smiled, "Sure."

She did, and after a lot of alcohol and coldness, PQ was good as new.

"Scary movie? I've got the Purge, Scream, Saw, the Shining..." she paused. "You guys don't have those, huh?"

Several shakes of the head, "Welp, I guess we're watching all of them! Yay!"

And that was PQ's best Halloween.

Ok yeah, I know that was pretty lame, but I'm doing my best here without ever being in a haunted house so you can fight me. I gotta go, but I love you guys and I'm already working on the next chapter so yay! Byee!

Edit: Okay, I got the review about the text and I hope this fixes it? But I'm not sure, so I'll check it out. I'm updating from my mobile which is like ten times harder than a computer and nnnnggghh. Sorry about that.
