Next chappie ! Picture me jumping with glee. Thanks for the reviews, people, they're much appreciated.

Chapter 1

Lynn groaned as she stepped into her apartment. She'd had one hell of a day. To start it all off, she'd forgotten some homework, gotten detention, and been yelled at, and that was just the first hour! She hated school.

She looked down as her cat came up and started rubbing itself against her legs, obviously hungry.

"Ok, I'm coming, just let me get through the door!"

After feeding her cat, she came back into her main room and flopped down on the couch. Her eye was caught, like it always was, by a photo sitting on the table next to it. Her and her brother, Wally, when she'd been ten years old, and him fifteen. One year before he left.

Involuntary tears came to her eyes. He'd left just after Mom and Dad had died, not even leaving her the time to get used to the fact that she didn't have parents any more. They'd died in a car crash. When they'd died, she'd broken down, the only person she'd let near her was Wally... But then he left, to go and join a league of superheroes. She snorted. She saw her brother every other day on TV, but it wasn't the same. The fact was that he'd abandoned her when she needed him most, and she wasn't about to forgive him for that. Coming as it had right on top of her parents' death, it was almost like losing another family member.

For three years the woman next door had looked after her, making sure she got enough to eat, etc... The only friend she had, apart from Kara, but she didn't count any more. They'd gone to school together, drawn to each other by the fact that there was something weird... different, about both of them. It was only when they were fifteen that Lynn had found out that her best friend was in fact Supergirl, and Kara that Lynn had magical powers exceeding anything Kara had ever seen. Lynn had been in the same accident as her brother, but it had had very different effects. Lynn got the power to control the elements and a good amount of magic, while Wally had become extremely fast. She'd got the more impressive powers cause she'd been right in the middle of it, but Wally was only on the edge.

Kara had gone off to join the League when word got out that the Founders were expanding it. Lynn didn't go. She didn't respond well to being told what to do, she hated authority. And she hated her brother.

Lynn shook herself. This was getting her nowhere. She did this almost every day when she got home. She should have better things to do apart from thinking about her brother.

She turned the TV on. Think of the devil. The Justice League helping a bunch of citizens escape a flaming building. The reporter came back on.

"This is just one example of what the Justice League does for our country, and I think anyone out there will admit that they're guardian angels to us all."

Lynn snorted for the second time that evening. Guardian angels. God, the press was going to pot these days. She switched the TV off.

She thought for a second, then started towards the kitchen. Halfway there, she stopped, turned back and reached for the phone. She needed a rest for once.

Flash sat at the conference table, clearly bored. The other Founders were discussing Lex Luthor, how quiet he'd been lately, what he was planning next, etc, etc...

Superman stood up suddenly. "This is getting us nowhere. Meeting adjourned."

Flash walked out of the conference room, wondering what to do. He stopped in front of the camera room, and walked in side. May as well check up on his sister. He'd go and see her, but he was well aware of what she thought of him, so he stayed clear. The rest of the League didn't even know about her.

He pulled up the correct screen, typing in his password. Nobody in the League even knew about this camera. He'd had it put in his sister's main room when he'd moved out. He never was comfortable knowing she was alone, but he'd always put the League first before, and he couldn't really change now.

She was sitting on her couch, eating a slice of take away pizza. Wally sighed. She'd been crying again. This happened almost every day.

"Wally?" He hadn't even noticed J'onn come in. He got rid of the screen and turned around, smiling.

"What were you looking at?"

"Nothing. See for yourself. I'm going to get something to eat."

He walked out the door.

J'onn narrowed his eyes at the computer screen, as if daring it not to show him what Wally had been looking at.

He sighed. He knew there was something Flash wasn't telling them. He just knew it.

So? What do you think?
