Summary: Jewel's life is going good. She has a nice mom, a cool best friend and boyfriend. But she is keeping a secret from all of them. She has super powers.

But I do own my OCs and plot. So no stealing.

Jewel and Josh strolled down the busy streets of Gotham City hand in hand. They happily spoke to each other neither one of them noticing the man who stalks them. As they walked into the large park away from the other citizens of Gotham the man dress in black came up behind Jewel and put a gun to her temple.

"Give me your money kid or your girlfriend dies!" the man shouted while coking back the trigger.

"Okay, okay whatever you say" Josh answers trying to stay clam so Jewel won't get shot. Jewel couldn't hear what they were saying. All she could hear was pounding of her heart as she felt the cold surface of the barrel of the gun. She saw Josh reaching into his pocket and slowly taking out his wallet so he would not scare the man and have him pull the trigger. The only reason Josh was being so compliant was because the mugger was fretting to shoot Jewel. "The minute Jewel is away from that son of a bitch I'm going to beat the crap out of him".

"Hurry it up kid" the man said his eyes darting around the park to see if anyone was coming. While doing this he drew Jewel closer causing her to whimper. "What only like your boyfriend touching you?" he asked with a sneer and hit her with the butt of his gun.

"Ahh" Jewel cried out in pain as blood seep out from a gash above her eyebrow where the gun had struck. Josh at this point was seeing red and tried to make a grab for the gun but the man saw this coming and shot Jewel in the head.

"BAM" a figure heard as he was speaking to another man dress in black with pointed ears.

"Bruce theirs trouble" said the figure dressed in red and blue his blue eyes flashing with worry.

"Of course there's trouble Clark. There's always trouble" grumbled the man dressed in black.

"Then let's get going Batman" the man stated while grabbing the other while flying out of the cave they were in.

"Superman what have I said about you just flying away with me?" shouted Batman as they speed through the air.

"To only do it in cause of an emergency" replied Superman as they flew towards the noise. Batman just stared at Superman. He had said not to do this even if it was an emergency.

"It never ceases to amaze me the way your selective hearing works" Batman said "Is that another one of your wonderful powers?"

"What?" asked Superman as they headed towards the direction of the noise.

"Never mind." Batman replied.

Jewel felt the gun tear into her skull digging into her head. No she felt the energy it was so strong. Her body automatically absorbed the energy and traced the source to the gun and sucked it dry. The energy surged towards the bullet, destroyed it and started repairing the damage done.

Josh looked on in horror. Jewel was dead. He would never see her green eyes sparking at him again or hear her laugh. He fell to his knees. The world couldn't seem to hold him up.

The gunman drops the girl's body but was stopped dead in his tracks. He couldn't seem to move. It was as if some invisible force stopped him.

Jewel raised from the ground her eyes shinning bright green with power. She looked at the park and saw energy in the air, trees, and in the animals in the park. "Its Beautiful" she thought. There were so many colors, twisting and turning. She gazed at the ground and notices a dark sticky energy moving away from her. She follows it and sees the man who shot her runaway. Jewel felt rage it seem to consume her. The energy around her turned blood red. She grasps the power from the ground and had it wrap itself around the man's retreating figure. She calmly walked to the man who struggling to escape.

The man heard the tiny foot steps and looked up. It was the red headed girl he shot. "You're dead" he said franticly making his voice crack.

"Nope I'm not" replied Jewel her eyes glowing with rage. The air around her crackles like lightning lacing it's self around her body as if it were a suit.

"Let me go" the man sobs in fear of what she will do to him. The visible energy around Jewel starts to dissipate. She looks at her reflection in the man's muddy brown eyes and sees a monster. Her rage is replaced with sadness. "How can people be so cruel" she thought Josh would never be so mean. Josh!" She glances around franticly and saw him on his knees crying. Jewel walkes up to him until she stops in front of him and wrapped her arms around him. Josh felt the embrace and sees Jewel hugging him, he could only look on with shock. He had just witness her dying a few moments ago.

"Red he whisperers is that really you?"

"Yeah it is" she answers softly while tears stream down her face.

"How is this possible?" Josh asks as he wraps his long muscular arms around her and places her in his lap. Jewel caves in and tells him everything that's happen to her since she turn sixteen. That she could suddenly see energy around her at will and that she was able to make it do what she wants. Jewel told him that she could make the energy come into her body and power up her strength, sight, hearing, and speed. She kept telling him that she was still learning how to use and that she was scared about what would happen if other people found out.

"That's the whole story" Jewel mumble into Joshes shoulder.

"Don't worry Red. I won't tell anyone." Josh whispers into Jewels hair and kisses it softly and this is how Batman and Superman found them.
