Luna and Lexi were hanging around close to the cafe, waiting for Layla to get out of work. When she did, they met up with her and walked away with her like it was a girls' night out. Only daytime. They had gone to a nice store when Lexi remembered she had to call Ace back. "Oh, hold on I need to go make a call," she said to them. She went far from them a bit before calling Ace. Ace answered when she called and had noticed that the third dot was walking with them.

"Hey. Looks like you found the second member," he said to her. Lexi nodded to him and was excited to see everyone's reaction to their new member.

"Yeah. And you won't believe who the member is. Just a heads up, our member is also a female," she said with a grin. She was pretty happy that the new members were girls too. That way she wouldn't be the only female of the group or just have only one other person to talk to about personal things.

"Really? Sounds like great news for you," he said with a smile. He found it nice when she was happy. That's how he thought she should be.

"Yeah. Anyways, I'll get her to come over to headquarters so that we can figure out more about her."

"Alright then. Do you know the girl's name so that I can look up her profile before you guys get here?" Lexi bit her lower lip at that.

"Unfortunately, no. I just know her first name and not her last. But it won't be that hard to find her profile once we get to the tower. You'll be super surprised by the new member." Ace nodded and wondered why she was that excited.

"I'll wait for you guys here. You three have a bit of fun before you get here."

"Will do." And with that, Lexi hung up and went back to the twins. "Sorry I took so long."

"It's ok, Lexi. Everyone gets distracted in calls all the time," Layla said with a smile and a small shrug.

Luna nodded. "Yeah. Happens to everyone," she said. Lexi was glad that she knew some nice gals that weren't hurt easily.

"Cool. Oh. I forgot something back at my place. You wouldn't mind if we go for it, right?" Lexi asked them, mostly asking Layla since she didn't know she meant the tower. Layla thought it was probably just her house or her apartment and agreed.

"Sure. I don't mind," she said. Luna knew that it was just a way to get Layla to the tower without a problem.

"Great. You'll be able to see some of my friends. They're going to be hanging around a bit before they go off on their own," Lexi said. Luna felt like this was going to go bad if they didn't explain from the beginning instead of lying. Luna gave a sigh and placed a hand on Layla's shoulder.

"What Lexi means is that we found that you might have powers like we do," she said. Layla was surprised when she said that and turned to Lexi.

"Is this true?" Lexi gave a sigh at how she was foiled on her fool-proof plan.

"Yeah. You see, I'm one of the Loonatics and we found two new life forms that have powers as well. That being you and Luna," she explained. "We want you to come with us so we can figure out what your powers are and, if you want, you can also join the team." Layla was kind of speechless. Sure, she had been feeling strange since the meteor hit the planet and people had been acting strange around her. But she seemed surprised at knowing she had powers. "You can think about it on our way over there. It's not that far from here. Even after the tests you can choose." Layla bit her lower lip and nodded. She had a dark secret just like Luna did and didn't want anyone to know it. But since she was in this tight spot, refusing would be something suspicious. They walked over to the tower and entered. Layla was surprised when she looked around. It was both amazing and simple in her eyes. It was surprising for her to see superheroes living a simple life. Tech was passing by with a pad in his hand, his focus driven only to his work. "Hey, Tech. You busy?" Tech heard and looked up, turning to them.

"Oh hey. I didn't notice you guys came already," he said, finally taking notice of the new girl. She looked so familiar to someone he met in the past. He realized that she looked exactly like Luna in almost every aspect except the clothes and length and color of hair. He thought that if they changed their hairstyles and wore the same clothes, they could be mistaken for the other for being twins. "Um..."

"I got the same reaction," Lexi said. "And from what Ace said the second member might be and we happened to stumble upon her. And I just knew that she was it." Tech nodded in understanding.

"Well, it's a pleasure to meet you," he said to Layla, taking out his hand for them to shake. Layla smiled and shook his hand.

"Pleasure is all mine. I never thought I would be able to meet the Loonatics," she said, letting go of his hand afterward. She had felt a strange spark in her hand like she once did many years ago. She thought it might have been some small static. Tech seemed to have felt the same, but thought it was just his powers acting funny.

"Well, for proper introductions, you can just call me Tech. And your name?"

"Oh. Sorry for not introducing myself. My name's Layla Story," she said. Tech nodded at her response.

"I see. Well, I personally don't mind if we get started on the test to see what powers you have. But I think we should save that for tomorrow as you might feel uncomfortable," he said to her. "I still have a few other tests to run, so you guys have fun." And with that, he left to do his work. He had used a rubber glove that was transparent and hard to notice to sneak some good DNA off of Luna. But now he ended up with Layla's. Well, that wasn't a complete loss. He went off to use her fingerprints to get her information faster. Lexi smiled at this meeting, not knowing what Tech had planned.

"Well, I guess I can show you around the place. Not sure if the other guys are here or not, but we can be sure that Tech will be in his laboratory making some toys for the team," she said to Layla.

"Thanks. I really appreciate it. I'm a big fan of the Loonatics, but I try to keep my enthusiasm under control so I don't seem like a crazy fangirl," Layla said with small laugh. Lexi giggled a little and showed Layla the inside of the Loonatics tower, not knowing what was really going inside the head of the two new recruits.

~In the Laboratory~

Tech had placed the glove carefully in a vial, trying not to get his own fingerprints on the glove. He put it on a machine to read the fingerprints that belonged to Layla and come up with all her information. But as he did do a search, he came up with a shocking discovery. Not only did her information come up, but so did Luna's as well as a whole lot of other women that had the same faces as them two, all of them with different information about their background and some from different time periods, not having updated at all. He found something was fishy with this. "Hey Ace," he said through his communicator. Ace was meditating up in his room when Tech called in through the communicator.

"What's up, doc?" he asked as he put his communicator upright so they could talk right.

"You need to come to the lab and check this out. Lexi came in with our next new recruit who just so happened to look exactly like Luna, almost like they were identical twins. I originally met up with them just so I can see the new recruit as well as get a sample DNA off of Luna's fingerprints only to end up with the new girl's fingerprints. I put it through the supercomputer to get her information and found something a whole more than I expected," Tech explained. Ace raised a brow at this and got off of his mediation plate. "On my way, Tech. I think we're starting to gain more than bargained for when Zadavia gave us this mission. I'll be there in a jiff." With that, Ace walked out of his room and headed for Tech's lab.

Ace was on his way to the lab when he saw Lexi with two others there, Luna and her possible twin. He then remembered that Tech had said they looked identical and knew he wasn't kidding. Lexi saw him and smiled. "Hey Ace. Glad I could meet you here. I would like you to meet Layla Story, our new member and the one you said was actually at the same place we were at," she said, introducing them to each other. Layla smiled and took out her hand to shake with his.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Ace. I'm a pretty big fan," she said. Ace smiled and took her hand, shaking it a little before letting go.

"Pleasure to meet ya, Layla," he said. "Hope you get comfortable here at the tower. I don't think we'll put you in any mission anytime soon until you get used to everything and get through some training." Layla nodded in understanding. "If you'll excuse me ladies, I need to request Tech to do something for us." He nodded to them before heading toward Tech's lab. Once he was inside and was sure the girls were pretty far from them, he gave a little sigh. "Boy, you weren't kidding when you said that the new girl looked exactly like Luna," he said to him. Tech heard him and smirked a little.

"I'm guessing you met the sudden twin," he said to him as he turned back to the computer. "This is what I was talking about." He pulled up the files he was talking about to show Ace. Ace put a hand on his chin as he looked at the files that came up on Layla and all the other identities.

"This is pretty suspicious. Why would Layla's DNA be exactly like Luna's, which we have been trying to get for a while now," Ace said. "How did no one realize that the same person is reappearing in other places where the others haven't been staying at? Wouldn't anyone looking this up be suspicious?" Tech nodded his head.

"Same question I had. It seemed it was able to pass easily without a second thought. There aren't many online pictures of these people. It was like they don't want anyone to see their image anywhere," he said. Ace kept looking at it before putting his hand on his hip.

"I think we're going to have to do some more research on these people as well as on Layla and Luna. This doesn't seem natural at all." And with that Ace, stepped away from Tech and walked away, seeing the files more clearly now. Something was definitely not right if they couldn't even find the energy sources of their powers after so long.

Hey there, my peeps! It's been several months since I uploaded for you guys. I have been getting back to this a lot and have finally come up wit a good chapter(in my opinion) so that you guys can enjoy it and leave a review. I haven't been having any and that has been making me pretty down. But I did get some new motivation from another person (Foxface 2001, thanks very much for making me become bright again). It might take me a while to respond again as I am going to my first year of college so I have to get used to that life. Thanks everyone and write to me, please!
