Carrie and Jai sat in the living room watching The muppets, and Rupert was mocking the film as Yesenia told him to shut his mouth.

Then Carrie's phone rang, she got up and walked into the kitchen to take it.

"Yeah, what is it Terry?" Carrie asked, Terry explained a situation they are having in Denver.

"He's what!?" Carrie yelled, Terry told her to get there soon, she grabbed her Batgirl suit and ran for the door.

Twenty Minutes Earlier, Denver Colorado, March 7, 8:00 PM

Terry sat in the vacant table after Dylan and Bryce left, something about how he ruined their night. Whatever. Then he saw a phone on the table, it was Bryce's. then only reason he could tell is because Dylan had a NWA case and this one did not.

Terry grabbed it and got up to find the boy who left it, then it buzzed. He turned it over, it was a light communicator, and Ace was calling for Pyro, Bryce.

"Dylan Richard West, what the hell have you gotten yourself into?" Terry asked, he threw the device into his pocket and ran for an alley where he took off his backpack and pulled out his new Nightwing suit.

"First time fighting in you ain't it?" He joked, he quickly put on the black and blue spandex. He ran out of the alley and went to find Pyro, he couldn't let him get away.

Present

"Damn!" Nightwing yelled as an eruption of flame flew at him. He jumped over it and threw a batarang at Pyro. He pulled his staff off of his back. He spun it in his hands and went to strike Pyro in the face. Pyro grinned and melted the staff in his hands.

"Oh come on!" Terry yelled as he threw his scorched weapon to the floor. He punched Pyro in the face, and in the balls.

"Nah uh bird boy." Pyro said, throwing Terry back into a wall of fire.

Terry fell to his feet and rubbed his head. Dylan ran over suited up, "Dude, where did you find Pyro?" Dylan said dodging blasts of fire. Terry stumbled trying to get back up, he couldn't just tell Dylan that his boyfriend is a super villain who tries to kill him all the time.

"I dunno, dumb luck?" Terry shrugged, Dylan rolled his eyes.

"I called Batgirl and Speedy, they'll be here soon." Terry said, drawing a baton.

"You called for back up?" Dylan asked. "Yeah" Terry said Dylan patted him on the shoulder. "We never called for back up."

"We call for clean up."

Star Labs, March 7, 8:26 PM

"What do you mean I can't take him home!?" Abby yelled at a woman at the front desk.

"You can't take him home." The woman retorted.

"Yeah, but you can't just keep him here, he's not an experiment." Abby said, she clutched Carson's shoulder as she tried to keep her composure towards the desk lady.

"We still don't know if he developed powers the way you did." The woman said, Abby's face filled with hot blood, she looked as if she was going to scream.

"I didn't come for just a visit, I came to have my brother in my life." Abby said trying to calm down. The woman signaled to armed men to take Carson back to his room, Abby spun her head towards their direction. She opened a portal in front of them, they stopped immediately.

"Touch him, and I'll throw you into a black hole." Abby said, men then aim weapons at her, she grinned; she wanted to fight.

Brendon and Kat shot up out of their seats and ran over.

"Hey, do we really need to resort to violence?" Kat asked, Brendon nodded in agreement.

"Ms. Kyle, get out of our way." A man said pointing a gun at her, Kat did not jump. She looked like her father, Bruce Wayne, in that moment; Still: Emotionless, calculating, as if she was studying the men. She reached to her purse and pulled out her whip.

"Don't threaten my friend." Kat said, her voice mirrored that of Batman's, stern, authoritative. Brendon pulled out his goggles and put them on his forehead.

"Come on, aren't we all here for family and happiness, like why do we need to kill on this happy day?" Brendon ranted, "Family is reunited!" He pointed at Abby and Carson. The men aim at him too, he smiled nervously and shrugged.

Denver Colorado, March 7, 2036, 8:31 pm

Batgirl and Speedy ran up right at the moment Pyro was wasting Velocity and Nightwing.

"Speedy, got anything to cool him down?" Batgirl called to Jai, Jai then drew out his bow and fired an arrow. It hit Pyro and encased him in ice from the neck down. The villain smirked and melted it with a touch. Jai's eyes widened as a barrage of fire flew towards him, Dylan then ran over and moved him out of the way.

"Got you little bro!" Dylan said to Jai giving him a noggie. Jai slapped him.

"I'm twelve!" He laughed, Dylan chuckled and zoomed back into the fight.

Batgirl spun on her heel and slammed her batons into Pyro's side. "Just fall!" Carrie said, Pyro then kicked her in the stomach.

"Don't talk to yourself red." He said, Nightwing then sweep kicked Pyro and tripped him, he pinned him to the floor. He knelt close to his face.

"I know who you are, Bryce Gonzales." Terry said, Pyro filled with rage and flung Terry off of him.

Velocity then ran over and punched Pyro in the face, he then turned around and kicked him in the chest.

"Damn you're hot!" Dylan said shaking off a bit of fire from his hand.

"I know I'm very attractive." Bryce, Pyro, said. Dylan snorted, "I can't even see your face!" Dylan said, Pyro laughed.

"That's what the mask is for sweetheart!" Bryce said, he then threw a flame at Dylan who dodged it. Pyro fired again, Dylan dodged again. This routine stayed as such till Batgirl intervined and threw her tonfa into Pyro's nose. Jai then fired a clay arrow and locked Pyro inside of a mound of clay.

"He is not melting that shit." Jai said, bro fisting Nightwing.

"Guys, give me a minute with him." Terry said to the others who walked away.

"How do you know who I am?" Pyro said, his mask of fire dissolving. Terry walked over and handed him his communicator. Bryce's eyes widened in shock.

"Terry?" He asked, Nightwing nodded. Pyro growled.

"Don't tell Dylan, he will flip!" Bryce said, Terry nodded, "Yeah, mainly because you just tried to kill him."

"Wait, what?" Bryce said pretending to be shocked. Terry did not buy it.

"You knew, you held back." Terry said, Bryce rolled his eyes.

"He sleep talks." Bryce said.

"Now I won't tell Dylan, but only if you quit the bad guy business and break up with him." Terry said. Bryce gave him a skeptical look. "How do I know if you're not lying?" He asked, Terry shrugged and said, "You don't."

"Terry, I love him, I want to be with him." Bryce pleaded. Terry laughed.

"Bryce what's more important to you, your job as Ace's lackey, or Dylan's heart." Terry asked.

"Dylan's more important! But I can't quit the light, they'll execute me, read about what happened to Terra, they killed her!" Bryce screamed, Terry then sliced open the clay.

"Then you need to figure out what you want, I don't want you hurting Dylan, he's important to me too." Terry said, Bryce nodded as he got up.

"Now make your escape convincing, take some time, call me when you decide whether you want Dylan or your job." Terry said to Bryce who raised an eyebrow. Terry sighed. "Shoot me so you can run away." Terry huffed.

"I love Dylan, I do this for him." Bryce said, he then shot Terry with fire an ran away and called for a boom tube.

"Terry!" Dylan yelled running over, he saw Pyro run through a tube, he payed no mind and picked Terry up off of the floor.

"Hey, I'm okay." Terry said starring off in the direction that Bryce ran.

Star Labs, Flagstaff Arizona, 8:42 PM

"Stand down." The head guard told Abby who knocked out 90% of the guards on her own as they tried to steal her brother form her.

"Never!" She yelled as she threw one man into a portal, sending him dropping six stories to his death. Then the commander took action, he aimed at rifle at Abby's head as she fought off her adversaries. He fired the gun, Carson saw this happen and screamed, a force field formed around Abby and the bullet fell to the floor before it hit her. Everyone in the room stopped for a moment, Carson just showed he was a meta. What Star wanted to know the whole time.

"Carson, you saved me." Abby said kneeling down to him, he hugged her and smiled.

"I don't want to feel like the only one anymore." He said, "Me too bud." Abby remarked, holding him tight in her arms. Two scientists walked over, Brendon and Kat followed.

"You're test succeeded, Dr. McCormick, extreme levels of stress activated his meta gene." A scientist said to the doctor.

"This was an experiment!" Abby yelled at everyone.

"What if Carson didn't activate a power?" Brendon asked, "She would have died, and for what?"

"It was a rubber bullet." Kat said inspecting the bullet, "Painted to look real."

"Now may I take him home, I can have Bunker from the Titans teach him to control it." Abby said.

"Very well." The doctor said.

Napervile Illinois, March 8, 12:30 AM

Bryce walked into his old family home, he trailed his fingers on the old kitchen counter the dust collected under his nails and on his prints. He starred at the destroyed tv, the night he told his dad he was gay his father threw his own phone into the television. He grunted at the memory. He walked down the hall and stared into his old room. His stuff was still there where he had left it, untouched. He strolled in and placed a hand on his bed, he soaked in the cold touch of the red bedding. His curtons were still ripped down from the night he ran away.

He sat in his old desk chair and opened the laptop, he quickly punched in the password. The last thing open on it was a wiki how article on how to come out. He snickered, how useful that was?

"What are you doing here?" A feminine voice asked, Bryce shot up and stared at the middle aged Hispanic woman.

"I'm home mom." Bryce said, his mother ran in and embraced her lost son.

"Where's dad?" Bryce asked, his mother looked down at her feet solemnly and held his hand in hers, "He shot himself after you left, he didn't want a broken family." She said, Bryce nodded. A cold sensation curled in his stomach, a strange guilt purged his soul and all he could do is give a broken smile.

"Well I'm home, you're not alone anymore mommy." Bryce said, tugging his mom into a warm embrace. And for the first time in years, he was cool, not burning in hate and anguish, but cold in relief.
