I've lost every nerve on you

Plucking each one one at a time

It always eats away at you

Steady on your troubled mind

I'm scared of ever finding out

All I lived for was a lie

-Fade-

Balance and Composure

Kenna momentarily closed her eyes, drinking in the peaceful scene of nature around her. The sun had disappeared behind the horizon as Robin and her made their way to Gotham. She was currently sitting on the back of Robin's bike, arms wrapped around the boy wonders waist. In all honesty if they weren't on a mission, Kenna would have taken the liberty of turning her friend into a pillow. She let out a content sigh and snuggled closer into his back; well as much as she could considering the fact the helmet was obstructing her comfort.

"So you changed, too?" Robin's voice broke the peaceful silence and caused the blonde to moved her head to the other side. Her drooping eyes blinked a couple of times to try and focus on the speedster next to the vehicle.

"You kidding? I feel naked in civvies."

Kenna couldn't help but let out a small snort at Wally's comment. He had just totally contradicted himself. Kenna's eye's then glanced down at her outfit. She was no longer wearing the biker outfit but was now clothed in her superhero uniform; much like the boy wonder. Her cheek suddenly heated up when a certain scene had started to replay in her mind. She could remember the painfully awkward moment when the two friends decided that they were going to change out of their civies. Kenna had practically died of embarresment when Robin started strpping infront of her. She had let out a terrified squeak and hide her face, only to find out he had his Robin suit under the riding suit. At this moment, she was glad that her team mates could not see through the tinted glass of her helmet for she would surely die of embarrassment. Kenna attempted to bury her face into the boy wonder's back trying to get her cheeks cool down.

"You alive there cupcake?" Wally's teasing voice caused the blonde's head to shoot up and look at the speedster.

"Huh what?"

"You look pretty comfortable. I'm surprised you're still awake." The ginger teased. Kenna groaned and placed her head back against her pillow; a.k.a Robin.

"Don't judge me. It's not my fault you jerks kept me up watching that stupid movie last night. I could have slept peacefully but no, you guy's just had to make me watch that Scream movie. Which may I remind you was completely retarded." She pouted, cuddling closer the boy wonder. With a shrug of her shoulders, Kenna continued to speak.

"Besides, Bird boy doesn't seem to care that i'm using him as my pillow." She slightly pouted causing Wally to laugh.

"Um what makes you think i'm okay with you using me?" Robin teased, leaning the bike to the side to follow the curve.

"Well I didn't hear you bitching about it."

"I figured if I didn't complain it would keep your big mouth shut." He let out a chuckle when he felt the blonde smack his head in protest.

"Hey woman! Don't hit the driver!" Feeling rebellious, Kenna hit him once more, a satisfied smile upon her lips.

"I wouldn't hit you if you weren't being a smartass, now get back to tracking the annoying monkey thingy's." She smugly pointed out. She could see Wally trying to contain his laughter while the boy wonder just shook his head and looked at his holograph as he drove.

"They were heading through Gotham, but they veered. Wait." Robin spoke, his tone becoming serious before he paused in shock.

"Guy's they're at my school!" To say that Kenna was surprised would be an understatement. Her eye's widened in surprise as she tried to comprehend what the boy wonder was saying. What are the odds that they would end up battling a robot in Robin's very own school?

"Are you sure?" She found herself asking. She could see the black haired boy nodded his head before talking.

"Yeah. They're at Gotham Academy."

It had been years since she had stepped foot in a school. She could vaguely remember what it was like when she was in school; granted it was Gotham Middle School. Kenna hadn't been in a school setting since before she was taken to Cadmus. Much like Superboy, Kenna was force feed an education from the genomorphs. So she was have a sense of nostalgia as Kid Flash, Robin, and her ran through the halls of Gotham Academy. They slide to a stop at end of one of the hallway's.

"Which way do you think they went?" Kid Flash asked, looking at Robin for an answer. The boy wonder didn't look at his friend but at his glove.

"Um we need to find the quickest way to the gym. Um I think it might be this way." Robin said somewhat unsure. His masked eyes moved up from his glove and he looked to his left. Something caught Kenna's eye and she turned to her right to see a large display case that was in pieces at the end of the hallway on the right.

"Guy's? Why don't we just follow the trail of destruction?" Kenna pointed out, a slender finger pointing towards the mess. Both boy looked at the blonde before shifting the gaze to the area covered in shattered glass. Without words, the three sidekicks ran down the hallway. While the two boy's continued following the destruction of school property, Kenna momentarily stopped at the shattered display case, glass crunching under her combat boots.. Crouching down, she carefully sorted through shards of glass pick up a broken picture frame. She brought the frame closer to her face as she stared at the picture behind the cracked glass of the frame. Her lavender eye's trace over the boy in the picture. He looked about her age with slicked back black hair. The boy was wearing a crisp, Gotham Academy uniform while holding a large trophy. She corked an eyebrow. This boy looked really familiar. It drove her crazy that she racked through her brain and couldn't think of where she knew this boy from.

"SIREN!" The frame slipped from her fingers and shattered as it hit the ground. She sprang to her feet and ran towards the massive hole in the wall. Kenna stepped through the debris to see the situation. Currently the Amazo robot was crushing Kid Flash against his chest. Against her better judgement, Kenna lifted her hand and got ready to shoot her vortex at the robot when she was caught off guard. An arrow sailed through the air, causing the Amazo robot to use it's Martian Manhunter ability. That gave Kid Flash the perfect opportunity to escape. The arrow embedded itself into the ground and Kenna swiftly looked up to catch a sliver of yellow before it eyes then shifted to see Kid Flash scramble away from the relenting machine. Amazo turned his attention towards her and her eye's widened.

"Shit."

"Active Black Canary." A scream ripped past her lips as her body flew backwards. She tumbled across the floor, coming to a stop when she met the bleachers on the other side of the gym. A groan escaped her mouth as she leaned on her forearms. She took a moment due to her disorientation and the constant ringing in her ears. She turned her head to look at her team mates. Amazo was wiping the floor with them. Her eyes narrowed into a glare as she looked at the robot. Frustration ran hot through her blood; hating the fact that she was knocked on her butt by her own mentor powers. She watched as Robin ran towards her, throwing another exploding disk at the robot. He slide to a stop and quickly bent down to help her to her feet; one arm over his shoulder while he wrapped one arm around her waist for support.

"Kenna you need to contain him in your phase lock." She heard Robin say in her ear. The blonde looked at the boy wonder in fear. Her eyes became wide and she shook her head.

"Robin I can't!"

"Kenna we need you. You have too."

"I can't. You guy's could get hu…" She was cut off when Superboy's body flew past her, colliding with bleachers behind her. Kid Flash slide to a stop next to his teammates. Superboy got to his feet and the team looked at the master behind the puppet.

"Oh, yawn. Normally, Amazo would study and mimic your abilities during battle, but what's the point? You're all such poor copies of the originals." Ivo spoke, a bored tone to his voice. Kenna glared at the scientist, feeling the sudden urge to punch his sniveling little face.

"Ha ha ha! So everyone keeps saying. It makes me angry!" Superboy gave a dry chuckle before launching into the air towards the scientist. Kenna had not been expecting that to happen. Her lavender eyes watched Ivo scramble to the side to avoid getting pummeled to a pulp.

"Want to see me channel that anger? " Superboy yelled, frightening the older man. those words sounded very familiar and the blonde quirked an eyebrow.

"Great. He's gone ballistic again." Kid Flash groaned and face palmed his forehead. Kenna saw Robin scrunch his eyebrows in thought out of the corner of her eyes.

"Maybe not." He spoke, turning his head to look at the blonde.

"You good to walk?" He asked her. Kenna searched his face and gave the black haired boy a nod of her head. He nodded in return and removed the arm from around his neck before the one around her waist. Kenna let out a small hiss and took a deep breath.

"Amazo, protect your master. Priority alpha." Ivo commanded, scrambling away from Superboy once again. Kenna watched the robot raise its hand before activating Captain Atom's powers. A beam shot out of the robot's hand and hurtled towards the clone. She looked over at Robin and saw the boy smirk. She quickly turned her attention towards Ivo. He was having his monkey things fly him away from the battlefield. Kenna could feel a devious smirk pull at her lips. She finally understood what was going on. Robin looked over at the blonde and nodded his head, silently asking if she was ready. Kenna gave a thumbs up and sprinted to the opposite end of the gym.

"Anyone want to play keep-away?" Robin asked, jumping into the area to kick Ivo towards Kenna. His body flew the air and the blonde jumped into the air.

"Batter up!" She yelled before kicking him much like Robin had. The scientist flew into a different area of the gym, causing Kid Flash to use his super speed to get to the scientist.

"Me! Me!" He gleefully called.

"Access Superman." Amazo said, lifting his foot and slamming it down on the ground. The floor boards sprang up from the place, tripping the speedster. Kid Flash feel to the ground next to the boy wonder. Kenna watched as Superboy appeared out of no where and swung his fist towards the head of the robot. As anticipated, Amazo used Martian Manhunter's power causing Superboy's fist to ghost through it's head. The robot then tried to use Superman's power, only to cause Superboy's. The robot's head sparked before exploding into small pieces. Superboy let his fist come to his side as he watched the robot collapse to the ground. Kenna let a smile appear on her face, taking small steps to the rest of the team who had gathered around the remains of the robot.

"Help me disassemble him now!" Robin called frantically, crouching down towards the robot. Kid Flash gave a snort before speaking.

"Dude, the guy has no head." He pointed out. Kenna looked over her shoulder when she heard a voice from behind her.

"Don't take any chances." Her eye's came in contact with Kaldur. Both he and M'gann made their way toward the group; Kaldur running while M'gann floated in the air. M'gann landed on her feet next to Superboy. Her expression showed worry as she looked at the clone.

"Superboy, are you alright?" She asked frantically. The clone shrugged his shoulders before answering.

"I'm fine." He spoke before looking over his shoulder at Robin and Kenna.

"Feeling the aster." Kenna chuckled quietly, sending the clone a soft smile. Robin grinned back at the clone, happy that he had gotten through to the older boy. The happy moment was ruined when Kid Flash spoke up.

"Where's Ivo?" Those words caused guilt to run through the blonde. She crossed her arms under her chest and hung her head.

"The Amazo android is in pieces again, Safely being analyzed at the two separate Star labs, but Ivo escaped and since he originated the tech, he's arguably more dangerous than the android." Kaldur relayed, standing at attention in front of Batman. the rest of the team stood behind him. Kenna stared ahead with a blank expression upon her face. She was too lost in her thought's to notice the concerned look coming from the martian standing next to her. Kenna's trance was broken when Robin pulled out the area that had saved Kid Flash in the gym. Batman took a step towards his protege. He took the arrow from the boy and held it out towards Green Arrow.

"Please. If we needed help, we'd never get the chance to ask. Look familiar? You were following us! Babysitting! You still don't trust us." Robin accused, slightly glaring at his mentor.

"We didn't follow you." Batman replied. Green Arrow took a hold of the Arrow in one hand and pulled out an arrow from his quiver. He held the two arrows next to each other to show the different arrowheads. Robin masked eye's widened and he held a slightly guilty expression.

"And that's not your arrow." At this point Kenna stopped paying attention. She vaguely heard Batman dismiss the team and Kenna took her opportunity to leave. She made her way to her room and entered the through the door. Meanwhile the team walked into the living room. Wally sat on one of the bar stools and Robin went lean next to his friend. The rest of the team practically collapsed on the couch.

"Hey, where's Kenna?" Wally asked when he noticed the small blonde was no where in sight. The group of teenagers looked at each other now concerned about their friend.

"I think she may have gone to her room. She seemed really distant on the way back to the mountain." M'gann said looking at her friends. robin gave a small sigh and stood up straight, no longer leaning against the counter.

"I'll go talk to her." He spoke before making his way to her room. After about a two minute walk he came to the automatic door that he figured Kenna was hiding behind. He knocked twice on the cool metal and the door opened with a hiss. He took the open door as a sign to enter. His masked eye looked around the lighted room, focusing on the slightly bare walls. They shifted around before locking on the small blonde who was sitting on her bed. Kenna's back was leaning against the wall, with her knees slightly pulled to her chest. She had changed from her uniform and was now sporting a pair of pajama shorts and a pokemon shirt. Her hair was up in a ponytail and her eyes were trained on the stuffed bunny resting against her thighs. Robin took a few steps towards the girl and stopped at the edge of her bed. She looked up at him for a few seconds before glancing back down at her nervous fingers. Robin took that as silent invitation to sit next to her. He sat on her bed and removed his boots before scooting to rest his back against the wall. Once situated next to her, Robin propped one leg and rest an arm on the knee. He looked over at the blonde, watching her run her fingers over the ears.

"Are you alright?" His words got no reply from the girl and he looked at her in concern.

"McKenna is this about what happened in the gym? Why didn't you use your powers? I promise i'm not angry." He asked softly. Once again he was met with silence. Sighing, Robin turned his attention back to the door. He was about to get up when her voice stopped him.

"I was scared." Her voice came a soft whisper and he almost didn't catch it. He raised an eyebrow and looked back towards the girl. She hadn't moved her eyes from the stuffed animal and he gave her a puzzled look.

"Why? What were afraid of?" Her reply was simple.

"My powers."

"Kenna I don't under…" She cut him off with her words.

"Ivo. If he had seen me use my powers, he would have ordered Amazo to mimic my abilities. He would have hurt you, Superboy and Wally. I couldn't let that happen." She spoke, finally looking up to meet his masked eyes.

"What you guy's don't understand is that my powers are dangerous. Even in my hands they could be destructive. I can't imagine what would happen if someone gets a hold of them and plans to use them for evil." This was the point where she could no longer look at him. She shifted her gaze and looked back down at her lap.

"Robin, i'm terrified of them, of what I can do." She spoke quietly. Kenna spoke no more words and the boy wonder let her words sink into his head. Everything made sense now. She had known that if she had used her powers they would have had another thing to fight. He could also tell that she blamed herself for Ivo getting away. Kenna slightly jumped when an arm wrapped around her shoulders and pulled her to the side. When she realized her friend was trying to comfort her she relaxed into his side, letting the boy hug her.

"Don't worry yourself, Kenna. Things will work out. We'll help you with your powers. You don't have to be afraid of what you can do." His gentle words got no words but he felt the girl nod and soon her felt and arm wrap around his waist. He gave the girl one last squeeze before detaching himself from the blonde. He got off her bed and turned to look at the blonde.

"Okay i'm going to go so you can get some sleep." He spoke, watching the girl yawn and nod her head. He made his way to the door but paused and looked over his shoulder.

"Now Blondie be sure to avoid looking in your closet. There might be a knife wielding maniac hiding in there." He teased. he laughed when a pillow came sailing out of no where towards him. He let the pillow hit his arm and looked over at the blonde. She glare playfully at him, a smile on her lips.

"Night Kenna."

"Night Asshat."
