AN: OK! OK! Here's the next chapter. And for all of you who ask that I try to make the chapters longer, I'm sorry these have been so short. I'm having problems getting time to type because of school and work and family problems. Please forgive the shortness. I'll try to make them longer I promise. And also I'll try to add more Will and Co. into the chapters, but the main focus of this is Warren and Kattianna.

Chapter 6: A Trip Down Memory Lane

oOoOoOo

Warren rolled his eyes as Layla came back to the table. "I could have told you that was no use."

"Oh leave her alone. Maybe she's just shy," Layla said doubtfully.

Warren snorted and started eating his food, if you could call it that.

"So, we've got gym next. Anyone care to venture a guess as to what we'll be doing?" Will asked as Layla scooted a bit closer to him.

"Hmm… Save the Citizen… It's the first day. What else would we be doing?" Magenta said rolling her eyes.

"Well, it's always fun to see people get their butt's kicked by Will and Warren," Zach said.

"Won't be happening," Warren said.

The entire table stared at him. "What do you mean 'won't be happening'? We're always a team…" Will said puzzled.

"Powers said we couldn't team up anymore. Said it was time the other kids had a chance."

"So… who are you gonna team up with?" asked Layla.

Warren looked pointedly at Kattianna and went back to eating.

Layla looked horrified.

"Hey! It's not by choice ya know," Warren muttered.

oOoOoOo

Kattianna finished her book and sighed. She hadn't brought another book like she normally would have, so she didn't have anything to read. She thought about her new situation. She was going to have to live with a complete stranger and the son of the man who took her mother away from her.

Barron Battle had been her father's best friend. Her mother had hated the fact that she had married a super hero, and had swore that her children could never inherit the super hero gene. Not that she could prevent it, but in her own mind it had made sense. The day that Kattianna had come into power she had been with her father and "Uncle Barron" at the park. Warren's father had come home and told her mother that she was a super with a certain smugness. Her mother had packed and left. At the tender age of 6 she had blamed her adopted uncle for losing her mother. She still held that grudge. No matter that her mother had left of her own free choice. She still blamed him.

Warren's friend Will was a different story. He had the classic fairy tale family. A mother and a father who loved him, two powers instead of one, and friends that simply adored him. He had everything that she wanted and yet still he didn't realize how lucky he was. Her father had worked with the Commander and Jetstream on more than one mission, and she had always been left at home alone. Will always had a babysitter. She knew this because she used to walk past his house while her father was away. He was always at Layla's or Layla was always at his house. She had to admit, she was jealous of Will. Now that her father was a villain, he wasn't exactly happy with those people he once called partners being told to hunt him down. He'd even changed his code name from "Leo" to "Dark Cat" now.

She shook her head as if to clear it and picked up her black messenger bag. There was no sense in sitting here brooding when she could be outside on the front steps in the sunlight.

As she walked past the Dream Team's table she felt all of them turn to watch her. Let them watch. There was no way they would ever get her to turn to them.

oOoOoOo

Warren watched his new room mate walk out of the cafeteria. He wondered why she hated him so much. Her last name bugged him, like he should remember it, but he didn't.

"Earth to Warren…" said Zach. "Dude, why are you so bugged out over this chick?"

Warren glared. "I'm not bugged out.. just curious."

Layla raised her eye brows, " Sure, Warren."

The bell rang to signal the end of lunch. The entire group of students stood and made their way to the gym to change.

oOoOoOo

AN: Alright guys. I tried to make this one a little longer. I'll have the next one up as soon as I finish revising it, hopefully that will be soon. Until then…
