Forgive me guys, but I lost this chapter, so I had to re-write it. With that being said, it may be too fast or I may have left something out that was in the original chapter. I can't memorize it word for word, but I got most of it re-written. Oh, and sorry about the run-on sentence. Here you are!

Chapter 5

It was a day after CJ had done the tests up on the WatchTower, and she was still upset. With Ted, mostly, but also because she didn't understand her own feelings. So she decided to clear her head and take a walk.

She ended up walking in Memorial Park, which sounded just like it was called. There were memorials throughout it, where crowds of Genocians gathered. Kind of like the Statue of Liberty to New York. The memorials were of everything; a well-known and respected judge that passed, a firefighter that risked his life but got a dozen people out of a burning building before it collapsed on him, a humane society that is also well respected and received many donations for their respect towards all animals, an organization that helps cancer patients in all ways, including housing them and helping them reintegrate into their lives, fallen police officers from shoot outs, and some even dated back to the past, like the man that founded the city, Mark Genocian, the man who created the park, and so much more.

Therefore, there were many advertisements and such, including flyers for the Genocian Fair that would begin in a few days. CJ assumed Genocian Fair was also a big deal in the city, mostly from observing all the people handing out flyers and people actually accepting them as they walked by. There were signs everywhere, and so many people talking about it. She guessed they didn't have much carnivals in the city.

CJ found a seat on a bench, away from most of the crowds, near a statue of a man in a top hat. Supposedly he was the one that built Callahan Tower, Mr. Callahan. He wasn't that big of a deal if there was no one snapping pictures of his statue, which CJ was glad for. She was somewhat alone. Now she could think, about what, she didn't know- she just wanted to think.

"Watchtower to Firebug."

CJ was startled, so much that she almost dropped her coffee. After she recollected herself, she replied. Hopefully those around her thought she was on a Bluetooth.

"Go ahead." She didn't recognize the voice.

"Wonder Woman has asked to see you, if you're not busy."

CJ stood, immediately exiting the park. "I'm ready now, just let me get out of sight first."

She swore she heard a small chuckle from the man she was talking to, but he said nothing else.

CJ threw her cup of coffee out as she passed a garbage can, then continued to weave in and out of the people towards an alley. If she got deep enough inside, surely no one would see her. The only risk to this was that it was day time. To be completely honest with herself, CJ didn't really care if anyone saw her, especially out here.

Since some teammates had said having people know where you live was a bad thing, CJ was only a little worried about it. No one knew where she lived if she suddenly teleported into a park or the middle of the street. Teleporting was fine. Flying, on the other hand, was different. People could see where she goes if she flew, and follow her to her apartment, if she went. She also didn't care if people saw her out on the street. She did care if she was seen with Ted, because then they'd be able to follow him to their place and then it would become a big mess.

So she found an alley, then told the whoever she was speaking to that she was ready. Within seconds the white light surrounded her, and CJ once again felt the pull of teleportation. Ted told her it was pretty much taking apart all your molecules, moving you to this spot, then putting all the molecules back. She didn't completely understand how that happened, but at least she could get to the WatchTower safely. To CJ, teleporting felt like having her insides shifting, like they wanted to come out of her body, but thought better of it and just decided to move around like jelly. It was all odd, but it was over in two seconds.

On the WatchTower, Red Arrow was at the monitors. She didn't know the man, but knew of him, and so registered his voice into her head. He gave her a curt nod before he went back to watching the screens.

Though CJ had spent a turn at the monitors, Red Tornado had never taught her how to teleport someone up. What if it was an emergency? Would that mean that CJ would have to find someone that knew how to teleport? But then whoever needed the teleport could get hurt.

But she shook the thoughts away, because she was here to see Wonder Woman, whom CJ practically ran into as she walked into the halls. They smiled at each other in greeting, and without any hesitation Wonder Woman led her down the hall.

"So, what do you need me for?"

"We wanted to wait a few hours so she could calm down before we called you. She's been asleep for that time, but should be up any minute now."

Had she missed something? Maybe she zoned out for the first part. "Um, who are we talking about?"

Her answer was to lead her down the med bay, into a familiar quarantine room. She almost fell over into a coughing fit at what she saw.

In the bed was a woman with bright red hair, pasty pale, and so familiar. CJ at first thought maybe it was some kind of trick, playing over a video of the room of when she had spent time in it. But then she came to the real conclusion. The woman looked exactly like her, but was not her. "Care?"

The woman, hearing her nickname, was startled awake. She jumped out of bed, searching the room franticly, not recognizing her surroundings. When her eyes landed on CJ, she froze. "Cynth? Is that you?"

CJ nodded. "Yeah, Care."

Caroline cautiously approached the glass. "This has to be a dream. All of it."

CJ didn't know what "all of it" meant, but she tried to stay calm. "No, this is real. I- I'm sorry I couldn't tell you where I was."

"And where is this?"

CJ glanced at Wonder Woman, who gave a slight shrug. Right. It wasn't like Caroline knew what the Justice League was. CJ hadn't when she first came here. "We're safe here, I promise. No one will hurt you."

Caroline, too, glanced at Diana. "She looks familiar," she said casually, like she was talking to herself, slightly confused.

CJ shook her head. "Are you alright?"

Caroline's breaths began to quicken as she searched the ground in thought. "I was going to meet Keith at your apartment." Ha, so his name is Keith, CJ thought, before her twin continued. "I wanted to go through your things, because it's been weeks. I finally admitted to myself that you weren't coming back." She blinked, hard, trying to clear something away. "I fell up the steps, distracted by some trick of the light, and then it happened."

Caroline placed her hand on the glass to steady herself. CJ saw the mist form on it, and she stared at it, confused. "Care, what happened?"

She looked up at CJ. "This." Then CJ saw it. Her hands were a pale white, and looked like there was a thin snow on them. Was that…. ice?

"CJ, you're needed out here."

It took a lot of force to get herself to look away from her twin to see Batman standing in the doorway. She glanced at Caroline one more time, shaking her head. No, she was just seeing things. She joined Batman out in the hall.

Once the door was closed behind them, he handed her a small screen, this size of her hand. What was it? "What-" Then it turned on, showing a video clip. As CJ stared at it, it seemed familiar. It was only after the woman entered the picture when she realized that it was her apartment steps. A woman with bright red hair, CJ, was about to walk up the steps. No, that wasn't CJ. She rarely ever wore t-shirts. But who-

The woman, immediately after stumbling up the steps, began to frantically swat her hands around. She stood and looked to the sky. Though there was no sound, CJ swore she would hear screaming if there was. Then her skin changed. At first, CJ thought it was snowing, but only on the woman. It was strange. Then, her skin started to change. It turned from a pale white to an almost translucent blue/white. Her hair changed, too. Within a minute, the woman was clutching the ground, breathing hysterically. Then she stopped moving altogether. She looked like an ice sculpture. How was that possible?

CJ handed the screen back to him. "I don't understand."

Batman took the device. "Your sister came through a portal and now has ice powers. When her emotions are uncontrollable, she turns to complete ice."

Caroline had powers. When CJ had been in the quarantine room earlier, Caroline had begun to freeze. Because of her emotions. It was much like what happened to CJ when she came to this world.

"In order to keep your sister calm, it would be best if you didn't see her."

CJ glared at him. "What? She's my sister! I have to-"

He returned the glare and interrupted her. "Do you want the same thing that happened to you happen to her?"

No. She didn't want Caroline to feel the guilt and shame of hurting another person. Batman knew this. The only way to keep her safe was to stay away.

If you didn't know: CJ's twin Caroline came through a portal as well and is now in the WatchTower. Caroline has ice powers and when she begins to freak out (which is all the time) she slowly turns to solid ice. Batman showed her a video of what happened, which is right after she came through the portal she immediately froze to solid ice. Much like CJ immediately caught fire when she did in book one.

Sorry guys, I know this was rushed. Like I said, I lost the chapter once and really didn't like re-writing it, but I tried to keep it working. And yes, CJ is just going to ditch her sister in there, but she'll pay for it later, I promise.
