Gotham City; August 27th, 6:17 EDT

Phoenix P.O.V.

Our next assignment was in Gotham and involved stopping Clayface. We tracked him down to an abandoned building in the city and we're now stuck in an altercation with him. God who knew it was so hard to take down a walking talking lump of clay. Aqualad and I are the only two left standing.

Damn spoke too soon…

Aqualad and I just dived out of the way of Clayfaces punch but he caught my leg and flung me across the building and straight through a concrete pillar. The air was knocked out of my lungs as I landed in a heap on the floor. Ignoring the pain soaring through my body, I sat up just as Aqualad was flung into a garage door hard enough to dent it. His water bearers fell out of his hands and his tattoos stopped glowing. As I struggled to get to my feet Clayface walked straight past the rest of the team. Clayfaces left-hand then morphed into a square-mace. As Clayface raised his arm to attack, something crashed through the glass window above.

Crashing through the window is Batman, who takes Clayface's full attention.

I then muttered
"Crap" this is the last thing we need. To be bailed out by Batman.

He then launched two Batarangs at the villain. Only for them to be absorbed into his arm, for a moment, until they explode and completely destroying his arm. As Batman landed in a crouch before Clayface. Clayface strikes once more, but Batman jumps back to avoid the hit. Pulling out a high powered taser that sticks to the right side of Clayface's chest and continues to send electricity through the villain until he loses his form entirely.

Batman glanced at me, then at the team before zeroing in on Aqualad…


Mount Justice; August 27th, 7:58 EDT

Upon returning to the cave, every fibre in my body was still screaming in pain. If anything is broken or damaged it will heal within a few hours, there's something I can do for the pain but I need something in my room first.

I was snapped out of my thoughts when Batman looked at us and said
"I need to talk to Aqualad. The rest of you hit the showers and head home" Wally and Artemis turned back to the Zeta tubes. Whilst M'gann, Connor and I just began to walk out of the room with Connor saying
"Head home?" He raised his arms, gesturing to the Cave and continued
"Some of us are home"

As we continued to walk away from the main hall, M'gann looked at me and said
"Maybe you should get checked out, Wynonna, You're limping" she's right, I messed my knee up a bit so i'm limping to compensate. I looked over and replied
"I'll be fine in a few hours, I just need to rest". I then left the pair and headed to my room

When I got back to my room, I shrugged my jacket off and pulled my gloves off. After throwing them on the bed, I looked down at my arms that had a mixture of different coloured bruises. Some were Blue, some were purple and some were going green. Whilst kicking my boots off I began unzipping the top half of my uniform letting it hang around my waist. I then walked over to my book shelves and pulled out the book I would need. When I was rescued all those years ago, these were found in my ship after further examination. At first the Justice League were going to keep them from me, not knowing exactly what they are; but now every year on my birthday they would give me a book. Each book contained different ways of control, energy manipulation, element manipulation and spells, all but one. One of the books seems to be more like a journal or history book from where I came from.

Anyway, I sat down on my bed and opened the book to the correct page. Quickly scanning the page, I placed it on the bed and took a couple of deep breaths before saying
"Asinta Mulaf Hinto, Sho Bala. Asinta Mulaf Hinto, Sho Bala" almost immediately the pain turned into a dull, durable ache. This spell can be used to reduce the physical pain of another person. While the pain diminishes, the spell, however, does not have any real healing properties.

Some confuse my spiritual power with magic but it's not. I have to say these incantations sometimes but that's only because i'm still learning to control it fully. It's hard learning to control my abilities as no one else has the same powers that I do. Being the only Patrovian on earth can be really hard at times and it can be lonely. I'm the only one of my kind within 10,000 light years of earth and that thought on it's own is daunting. What makes it even worse is that I don't know what happened to my planet when I left.

From reading the history book I know that there was a long history of conflict with another race that also lived on Patrovia. The book is very unclear about what started the conflict but even then, this book only tells one half of the story; There's still a side missing from the history book. Regardless, there's nothing I can do whilst here on earth.

Anyhow, with he pain in my body slowly fading I got up off my bed and grabbed a change of clothes. Picking out a pair of denim jeans and a white vest top, I carried them into the bathroom. After turning on the shower I took the rest of my uniform off and saw the extent of my injuries. My entire body is basically black and blue and i'm pretty sure I've got a couple broken ribs because the darkest bruise is right across the left side of my rib cage. Ignoring it, I turned and climbed into the shower. The warm body felt nice against my body.

Yeah water is one of my weaknesses but small amounts of water is okay. As one of my powers is fire manipulation, when I come in contact with water it basically deactivated my powers and I basically become human. Sticking my head under the water, I ran my hands through my hair and the red started to run down my body. Yeah I've got natural red hair but whenever I shower, it turns brown. It's only temporary but not a lot of people know about it, only the JL. I'll tell the team eventually but we're still getting used to each other and getting to know each other. My other weakness is extreme coldness, it has a very similar effect. The only difference is that my hair doesn't change.

Anyway, I jumped out of the shower, dried off and quickly got dressed. As I walked back into my room I began towel drying my hair. The ends started turning back to red as I continued to dry them with the towel. Whenever I get caught in the rain at school and my hair changes, I just tell people that it's changing because of colour changing hair dye. Some of the girls in school have tried colour changing hair dye but 'not to the extent that they believe I do'. When most of the red returned to my hair I left my room to go get a drink.

When I entered the lounge/kitchen area, M'gann was standing in the kitchen, chopping a red onion. With a small splatter on the edge of the counter and tomatoes in a wood container off to the right of her cutting board, and some already chopped onions in a bowl. I looked over and saw Connor sitting on the couch watching the static on the TV. He was covered in what looked like cake mix and had a look on his face that could challenge a kicked-puppy. As I walked over to the fridge I said

"I'm not gonna ask" I then grabbed a smoothie from the fridge before jumping up onto the counter.

M'gann looked over, smiled and said

"You're looking better" I took a sip of my drink before saying

"A nice warm shower mixed with pain reduction incantation and accelerated healing. Works every time" Connor turned around and said

"Wynonna, what exactly are your powers?"

"Well for starters I can do this…" I clicked my fingers and whatever Connor was covered in, disappeared.

"Thanks"

"And to answer you question, I have Spiritual powers, Healing abilities, Shield projection, Enhanced speed, Enhanced strength and one I don't really use" M'gann then said as Connor walked over

"What one don't you really use?"

"Fire Manipulation" Connor then asked

"Why don't you use it?"

"I know it's a weakness for M'gann and for Kaldur. It's a risk in on missions so I don't use it unless it's absolutely necessary" M'Gann smiled and said

"Thank you, that's much appreciated"

Connor then went to say something but got cut off when my cell started to ring. I pulled my cell out of my back pocket and looked at the caller ID, it was Robin. He can't tell me his name but seeing as we're pretty good friends he gave me his number anyway. I jumped off the counter and started walking back to my room as I answered

"Hey Rob"

"Hey Nonna" I smiled at my nickname and said

"You are the only person to ever call me Nonna"

"Yeah well, get used to it" I can tell that he's smirking by the tone in his voice. I rolled my eyes, smiled and said

"So whatcha doing on your night off?"

"Absolutely nothing, I've just worked out in the gym and played a one on one basketball match"

"You have a gym in your house?"

"I told you I had money"

"And that is basically all I know about you" I laid on my bed as he sighed and said

"If I could tell you more about myself then I would but, it's complicated"

"Wally knows who you are"

"That's not fair, Nonna. You know who I am. Wally just knows slightly more about me because he's my best mate"

"Oh cheers"

"Oh come on, you know what I meant"

"Yeah, sorry"

"One day, hopefully soon, I'll be able to tell my name and things will be different"

"Different? Different how?"

"Don't know but we'll figure it out, together...
