Crystal Rost paced in the alleyway of two abandoned buildings at 8:00 in the morning. She had a hawk resting on her shoulder, which every few minutes would tug on her dark brown almost black hair trying to get her to look in the other direction, for across the street there was a building on fire. It was a nasty fire with fire trucks, police cars, and ambulances surrounding the building with their sirens pounding into Crystal's head. She wanted to block out the noise, but she knew she couldn't do it. She knew she wouldn't have been able to anyway.

"I know it's there, Storm! I already told you I can't go in there, I won't. I told myself I wouldn't use them! Besides, the buildings surrounded by cops and trucks, there's no way in." She spoke to the bird while petting his soft white feathery chest and as if it understood her, it made a soft shrill while pointing it's head toward the roof of the fiery building.

"No, I won't do it." The bird soon replied with a frustrated look in its eyes and some squawks.

"Oh shut up, you know I wouldn't let anyone die like that…and look there's plenty of cops and fire trucks, they don't need me." She replied as if she understood the bird and again it replied as if they were holding a conversation.

"Look, that time was different, those cops were stupid! They didn't even carry guns in with them!" The bird finally looked away from her and pointed its head at the building as if in urgency and made another soft shrill.

"Fine I'll go, but you fly to the top of this building and wait for me there." At her stern orders Storm flew up into the morning sky.

Crystal ran across the street to the building next to the one on fire. She went around it to the side farthest away from the fire and walked up to the ladders leading to the roof. Without hesitation she climbed up to the roof and walked to the other side nearest to the fire. She peered over the edge and watched as the firemen tried to put it out. She then leaned her head in closer and listened. Her powerful ears allowed her to hear everything, even from the top of a five story building.

"Sir, there's a girl trapped in the building." Came the voice of one of the fireman.

"Do we know where?" Said the very stern voice of a heavily dressed fireman, probably the captain.

"Somewhere on the fifth floor.."

"Then get the ladder going!"

"Yes, sir!"

That's all she needed to hear. She leaned back from the wall and took a deep breath.

"Oh Storm you featherhead! I bet he knew all along that there was someone trapped in there. Fire and feathers don't mix! Oh well, better go now before I freak out."

With a noise much like a hawk's and a burst of light, Crystal had powered up. She stood tall and ready for anything, and on her back were two golden brown wings. She rustled her wings and within not a moments time leaped of the building. She flew to the other building and crashed through a fifth floor window.

Now that she was inside she stood up straight and with her fiery golden eyes looked around the burning room in search of the child. She walked through the room lifting things and most of all being careful not to let her wings catch fire. Soon enough she found the girl and just in time too. Crystal quickly picked up the coughing, crying child and searched for a way out. Luckily the firemen's captain had made it up to a window with the ladder. She ran toward the window dodging burning wood and furniture. She quickly handed the girl to the captain.

"Thank you! Do you need to come with me too?" He shouted over the roar of the flames. Crystal quickly stepped back making sure to hide her wings behind her back. Then yelled back.

"I'll be fine! Just take her to safety."

The fireman hesitated and nodded then started down the ladder. When he was out of sight, she coughed and turned around heading toward the other end of the building. Once there she broke through the door to the roof and rested there.

She breathed heavily and let the cool morning air cool and calm her down. She slowly got up and walked to the edge of the burning building. No one was looking, this was the perfect time to fly across the street. So, she leaped off the building and quickly flew to the other building where she was supposed to meet Storm. The winged girl landed softly on the roof and faced the fire. She smirked, And Storm thought I couldn't do it.

Crystal Rost, the girl who now had wings, turned around and what do you know, she bumps into none other than the Dark Knight himself. She quickly stepped back in surprise, but soon hid her emotions in a stern emotionless face.

"Are you Crystal Rost?" He asked. She crossed her arms.

"Why do you want to know?"

"Because if you are then you have a chance to be accepted at an audition to become a Justice League apprentice. So are you or are you not Crystal Rost because this is wasting my time?" Batman said in his normal monotone voice. She turned to look him in the eye. She stood there for a moment not even a bit scared and then answered.

"Well, tell me exactly what this apprenticeship thing is. I thought 15yr. olds weren't aloud to join the Justice League."

"You aren't exactly joining the League, you're just training to become a hero, and eventually join. You may never even get accepted anyway." Batman said calmly and with a little amusement in his voice. No one, especially a kid, had ever talked to him long enough to actually engage in a conversation besides his three old sidekicks. Yet, here this 15-year-old girl wasn't even in the slightest scared of him.

Storm came and landed on her shoulder as she started pacing. She put her hand to her chin as if she was thinking.

"Hero huh? . . . Then no, I'm not Crystal Rost." She said with sarcasm in her voice then turned to face the superhero. "I guess your going to have to look for her somewhere else, because there's no one here who can be a hero."

"Fine." Batman turned to leave, but glanced back and said, "But if you'd like you could check the place out and if you don't like it then I'll be happy to bring you back here." He suggested.

"How long do I have to decide?"

"A couple days until the auditions are done."

"Mm. Alright fine, but I'm not making any promises to stay."

"Fine"

Crystal held Storm in both hands and Batman came and stood next to her. In a moment both were teleported to the watchtower leaving behind the burning building and the fresh morning breeze.
