So if this city really makes you feel the way you swear it does

Show just a little more faith in the legs you're standing on

Can't take for granted

The privilege you've been handed

You're hearts still beating, hearts still beating

Just keep it going. Never stop.

-Keep It Going-

With the Punches

"MCKENNA!"

"EEEEEEEEEEEEPPPP!" Escaped her lips as she screamed, dropping the sealed water bottle. She could hear her heartbeat echo in her head as she frantically turned around. Her frightened orbs turned ice cold as she glared at the culprits. Both Wally and Robin were hunched over, grasping their stomachs in laughter. Kenna could feel the blood vessel in her forehead throb, almost ready to burst. Her teeth gritted together and she clenched her hands into fist.

"You scared the living crap out of me you assholes!" She screeched, grasping what ever could be found on the counter. In anger, Kenna threw the pot holders at the laughing boys. Robin continued to laugh, bringing his hands up to shield his face from the assault. She then picked up the plastic spatula that M'gann had used earlier and leaned over the counter to repeatedly hit Wally in the arm. The red head cringed but continued to laugh.

"Come on Blondie, you have to admit that was pretty funny." Robin said catching his breath. He gave another laugh when Kenna turned her attack towards him.

"Yeah. Very. Funny. You. Jerks!" She screeched, emphasizing each word with a slightly harder hit. Feeling her pent up anger dissipate, Kenna stopped her assaults. The boy's laughter soon died down as they sat on the bar stools.

"Are you done using us as punching bags?" Wally asked, hand digging into the open bag of chips to his right. He let out a yelp when she leaned over and gave him a hit on the top his head.

"Ow!" He grumbled, rubbing the bump on his head. His words caused a snicker to escape the blonde's mouth. Her teeth clamped down on her protruding tongue as she snickered in the speedsters face. She then leaned down to grab her fallen water bottle and stood back up. She soon placed her arms on the counter, leaning on them after she opened the bottle in her fingers. Her eyes shifted between both boys, stopping on the pouting speedster.

"Wally I didn't even hit you that hard." She taunted, moving the bottle towards her lips. She twisted the cap back onto the bottle and she set it on the counter. Robin turned to raise an eyebrow at pout that was currently displayed on his best friend's face. Wally continued to pout as he looked back up at the younger girl.

"That hurt Kenna, you hurt me deep." He spoke dramatically, placing his over his giggled and rolled her eyes.

"I think what he means is you hurt his ego." Robin spoke, a smirk playing on his lips as he watched the blonde laugh. Wally turned to glare at the black haired boy, face full of annoyance.

"Wally I swear you could pass for a girl sometimes." She said with a laugh as she turned around and opened the fridge. She could faintly hear the speedster give a huff in annoyance. Her concentration was set on finding something that was slightly healthy. Living with a girl who loved to bake was really starting to weigh the blonde down. She rarely consumed anything that wasn't pure sugar, which is probably not the smartest move on her part. Her eyebrows scrunched in frustration as she analyzed the contents residing in the cool box. A piece of her bangs fell into her face, causing the girl's frustration to rise. With a sigh, she blew the strand back with a puff of air. Growing tired of looking in the fridge, Kenna just shook her head and pulled open the vegetable drawer. Her eyes found the large fruit she was looking for and her hand shot out to grab it. She quickly pushed in the drawer and stood up. With the bump of her hip, the fridge sealed shut. Kenna moved towards the counter and pulled open a drawer to grab a small spoon.

"A grapefruit? Out of everything in that fridge, you pick a grapefruit?" Kenna looked up to look at the person that the voice belong to. Her eyes met black tinted glass. She gazed over to see Wally had disappeared; probably off to find the green skinned girl. She turned her attention to the boy wonder, realizing that she had never answered his question.

"I have had too much sugar in the past weeks. I love M'gann, I really do but I swear that girl is trying to get me to go into a sugar induced coma." She spoke leaning back against the counter, sinking her spoon into the half fruit. She was careful to keep the fruit a certain distance a way to ensure no juice would splatter. She scrapped the juice and pulp out before bringing them to her mouth. She could hear Robin gently chuckle at her statement.

"No seriously. Last week she made the diabetes cupcakes!"

"What the hell is a diabetes cupcake?"

"So it's this cupcake made of chocolate, filled with chocolate, iced with chocolate, with a little chocolate square thingys poking out of the icing." She excited explained, flailing her hand to emphasize her words. Robin tried hard not to laugh at the girls explanation.

"So why do you call them diabetes cupcakes?"

"There is so much sugar in them that they will literally cause someone to get diabetes." Robin couldn't hold in his laugh and longer and let out a chuckle. Kenna leaned over a lightly hit him.

"Don't laugh at me." She pouted, sticking out her bottom lip in protest. Robin was about to respond when an intimidating and stern voice echoed through the mountain.

"Team, report to the debriefing room." Came Batman's authoritative voice. Kenna raised and eyebrow and looked to Robin for answers. She shook her head in disbelief, putting her fruit back in the fridge and placing her spoon in the sink. Robin stood up from his stool and walked around to the opening. He placed his hands in the pockets of his green hoodie, waiting for the blonde. Noticing that Robin was waiting for her, Kenna quickly moved to the opening of the kitchen. She stopped momentarily next to the boy. Robin nodded his head, answering her silent question. The two then head towards the debriefing room. They weaved through multiple hallways in comfortable silence. Kenna glanced over at the boy, his nonchalant demeanor making the girl suspicious. Feeling eyes looking at him, he gazed at the short girl next to him.

"You are unbelievable, you know that." She spoke bumping her shoulder into his.

"What?" He asked feigning innocence.

"You knew something was going to happen today."

"I did not."

"That's total bull. Batman is your mentor, you will always be the first one to know anything." She spoke with a light laugh. She got no answer from the boy wonder. She figured that his lack of response was due to the fact that they were now standing next to their teammates. Batman gazed around, noting that all members were present. With a wave of his wrist, floating holographic panels with various amounts of information appeared behind him. He turned to the side, revealing the map of an island.

"Isla Santa island nation is the primary source Of a dangerous and illegal neurosteroid. A strength enhancing drug sold under the street named Venom. Infrared heat signatures indicate their factory is still operating at full capacity, but all shipments of Venom have been inexplicably cut off. That's where this team comes in.

This is a covert recon mission only. Observe and report. If the Justice League needs to intervene, it will. The plan requires two drop zones." Batman informed. As the man spoke, Kenna shifted her eyes through all of the different panels. She did the best she could to comprehend all of the text and listen to Batman's details at the same time. Her thoughts were broken when Robin spoke up next to her. She snapped her head to the side to better hear what he was saying.

"Who's in charge?"

"Work it out among yourselves." Kenna resisted rolling her eyes at their conversation. Of course that would be the only thing worrying the boy wonder.

"Suit up and head out. You depart in ten" Batman commanded, his tone never wavering. The team gave a nod and moved to follow their orders. Kenna turned to move but stopped mid step when she was called.

"Siren." It took her a moment to register her superhero name. She gave a quiet gulp when she realized who had called her. Not wanting to aggravate Batman, Kenna quickly turned around and stood at attention. She tried to keep eye contact as much as possible, but the superhero scared her. She made a mental note to thank Robin for not being exactly like his mentor. It wasn't that she didn't like Batman;actually when she was younger, he was her favorite superhero. But that did not stop the fact that he was a very intimidating person. Yeah. She really needed to thank the boy wonder.

"Yes sir?" She asked, surprised that her words came out clear without hesitation or a stutter.

"A gift from Black Canary." His words were short as he handed her a gray box. her eyebrow raised slightly in confusion.

"Thank you?" It came out more as a question then a statement.

"It contains your suit."

"Oh… that makes more sense. Thank you Batman." She gave an embarrassed chuckle, hugging the box closer to her frame. Batman gave a simple nod of his head. Not wanting to annoy the detective, she gave a smile and scampered away to go put on her outfit.

Kenna couldn't tell if she was excited, terrified or both at the fact that the team was going on their first mission. The team sat in their chairs, completely silent. This was not like their normal rides in the Bio-Ship. They normal consisted of banters and laughter but that was not the case. Everyone was in serious mode and that might have scared Kenna the most. That made the situation seem more than Wally was being serious and when Wally is being serious, things become real. Yeah, she was definitely nervous. Her fingers continuous rubbed along her legs, feeling the smooth fabric below her fingers. Her eyes shifted down to gaze at the unfamiliar outfit. Her top consisted of a cropped black bustier and the bottom half of a laced up corset that cut off above her navel. Buckles and straps crossed on her back to hold up the corset. The corset laced up in the front, showing the black shirt underneath. She wore elbow length finger-less gloves. Her eyes shifted her pants. The low-rise pants were tucked inside knee high combat boots with a black belt holding them tight to her waist. The color scheme was quite simple. Black being the belt, gloves, undershirt, and boots. The corset and pants were a dark blue, almost black. The colors matched that of her mentors closely. No mask covered her eyes, much like Dinah. All together, Kenna liked the style of her costume. She continued to mull things over in her mind not noticing that a person staring at her.

Robin could tell the blonde was nervous. After knowing her for a couple of months, he began to pick up on the things she would do when she was nervous. She would do three things to distract her mind. Kenna would bite her bottom lip, twirl a lock of her long hair or she would consistently move her fingers; much like she was doing now. He watched her rub her fingers across the fabric of her leg; never slowing her speeding up her pace. He himself was excited to be going on the mission but he could tell that Kenna was over thinking things. Ever since the Mister Twister fiasco, Kenna had stayed but that did not stop her fears and doubts about her abilities. Robin contemplated on a way to comfort his friend. Trying not startle the girl, Robin leaned forward in his seat and placed his gloved hand on one of her nervous hands. The blonde snapped her eyes up to look at him, confusion evident on her face. He gave her hand a reassuring squeeze and smiled at her. She in return gave a shaky smile, understanding what the boy wonder was attempting to do. Kenna grasped his hand and gave back the squeeze as a thank you. Robin then retracted his hand, placing it in his lap once again.

"Drop zone A in thirty." Miss Martian spoke, breaking the silence. Kenna swiveled her chair around to watch Aqualad stand from his chair. The chair sunk into the ground, disappearing from sight. Aqualad moved his hand down to touch the Atlantean symbol on his belt. The crest glowed and the red of Aqualad's shirt morphed into black. He shifted his eyes to look at the martian.

"Ready." Miss M gave a nod before speaking.

"Putting Bio-Ship in camouflage mode." She said moving her hands over the glowing orbs that rested under her palms. Kenna bite her bottom lip in anxiety as Aqualad dived through the hole that had opened at his feet. Soon as the Atlantean was out of sight, the hole vanished. She shifted her gaze out the front window taking in a sharp but quiet breath. She didn't let the air escape her lips until Miss M announced their position.

"Drop zone B." Came her simple statement. Simultaneously, the team members stood from their chairs. Like Aqualad's chair, the remaining furniture dissolved back into the ship. Miss M raised her hand, concentrating on objective. A long hook grew out of the ceiling coming down to Kenna's waist. Her small and delicate hand shot forward to grab the rope connected to the hook. She then clipped it to her belt and gave it a sharp tug to make sure it was secure. She then looked over to her teammates, waiting for them to be ready. Once Kid Flash had the hook clipped, he touched the symbol on his chest much like Aqualad had done. The fluorescent yellow was soon replaced with black. He turned to look at the martian with a grin.

"How cool is this?" He asked, using his arms to gesture to his outfit. Miss M coyly smiled.

"Very impressive." She brought out both hands and closed her eyes, focusing on her organic outfit. The white shirt and blue skirt morphed into a black body suit starting from her toes to her neck. She then placed her hands on her hips, giving the speedster a smile.

"Ah.. that works to." He spoke as his facial expression morphed into a suggestive smile. His green eyes then gazed over to the brooding teenager.

"Hey Supey, not too late to put on the new stealth tech." Superboy looked over at the speedster.

"No capes. No tights. No offense." He spoke crossing his arms. Kenna found herself agreeing with the teen. She couldn't imagine seeing him in anything other than the black shirt and pants.

"It totally works for you." Kenna raised an eyebrow at the green girls tone. She watched Miss M's face go from a dreamy daze to an embarrassed look.

"In that you can totally do good work in those clothes." She tried to defend. A knowing smirk appeared on the blondes face. She was going to have to talk to the martian about this later. She watched in slight amusement as the older girl grasped her hood and placed it over her head, becoming hidden to the naked eye. Kenna then felt the floor give out below her. She frantically grabbed the rope as it repelled towards the ground. Once her feet touched the ground, she quickly unclipped the hook from her belt. She gave a strangled gasp when she was grabbed and pulled away from her original spot. Her body tumbled across the ground and she heard the large crash.

"Knew I didn't need a line." Superboy gloated, standing from his crouched position.

"And yet creating a seismic event may not have helped us much with the covert." Kenna heard above her. She slightly groaned and looked above to see Robin. The boy was not looking at her but gazing at the older black haired teen. Her lavender eyes moved to look at his arms which were on either side of her torso, shielding her body. He then turned his head to look at her.

"You good?" She spoke no words but nodded her head. He leaned backwards, releasing the girl from the cage of his arms. He then used his thigh to stand to his feet. His hand stuck out and waited for the blonde to grasp it. Kenna placed her gloved hand in his, soon being lifted to her feet. Once on steady legs, she brushed the dirt from her suit.

"Aqualad drop B is go.' Miss M spoke into her ear piece. The team moved to stand behind the boy wonder who had opened the holographic display screen on his glove. A map popped up with red dots, indicating their positions.

"Head to the factory. I will track your GPS and rendezvous ASAP." Aqualad spoke through the secure channel.

"Roger that." Robin spoke pressing his finger to the chip in his ear. He then clicked a button on his glove to make the holograph disappear.

"This way." He gestured with his hand, running in the direction he had pointed to. One by one, the team began to follow the boy except for the blonde. McKenna gave one last glance over her shoulder to look at the hidden ship. This was the moment. There was no going back from here. Take one last deep breath to calm her nerves, Kenna ran after her teammates giving a silent prayer that this mission would go as planned.
