Here's another one. There's one thing I forgot to say. In June, I SAW THE JONAS BROTHERS LIVE!!!!!!!!!!! They were AMAZING! Nick played A Little Bit Longer, and half the stadium was crying! And my sister finished a book in the line! LOL!

TTNG: New Team

Chapter 26: That Was Harsh...

Crow never really hid Lucky, he just kept Sunny away from wherever she was, which he always knew. He kept a mental link with her so he always knew. That also made him hear the conversations that she had with the others. It was very good entertainment.

Hex: Quick Luck, get in there.

Lucky: No way. I'm not hiding under the sink.

Hex: Why not?

Lucky: Because Arachne said her tarantula got out!

Hex: Not again.

Lucky: AGAIN?! THIS HAS HAPPENED BEFORE?!

Hex: Three times actually.

Lucky: AUGH!

Hex: Hey! There's Speedy!

Lucky: AUGH!!!!!!!

Hex: HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!

Lucky: That was so not funny! Well, to me at least.

Hex: Just stay in that vent. And if you see Speedy, try not to scream.

Lucky: Very funny Hex.

Yup. That was one of the most entertaining. He made a note to himself to let Sunny know that speedy escaped again. That was one smart spider. Hopefully it wouldn't freak Kristi out like last time. The poor cat still wouldn't go near the bathroom. Even though it was still really fun to watch her get chased by a tarantula, he didn't want it to happen again. He checked the clock, and realized it was sparring time.

Every month, they would have a small contest. LB would put bracelets on everyone that would deactivate their powers, and they would be left with only their skill as long as the bracelets were on. They came in handy when they took power villains into custody. Anyway, it was a sort of an 'I play winner' thing. The loser would go sit back with everyone else, and the next person would spar the winner.

Today would start with Arachne vs. Sunfire. That was always really entertaining to watch. When they sparred, they didn't use the bracelets since they were both pretty equally matched anyway. They just didn't use their starbolts, or webbing. With Ari's spider reflexes, Sunny's Martial Arts skills, and both of their super strengths, it was always pretty long.

When he walked in, they were already in position. LB started the match, and they were off. Sunny made the first punch at Ari, but missed by two inches when Ari moved her head quickly to the side.

Sunny grabbed her arm and attempted to turn her around, pressing her arm to her back, but Ari saw it coming and quickly did a front flip over Sunny's head. She almost mimicked the move, but Sunny used it to her advantage, flipping Ari onto her back onto the floor.

"One! Two!"

At a very close call, Ari kicked her off. She turned around for a second, but then sensed Sunny coming her way. This time, she did a full back-flip while Sunny was still running, missing her head by centimeters. A bit dazed, she was caught by surprise when when Ari pinned her to the floor.

"One! Two! Three! Arachne wins!" LB cried. Ari helped Sunny up, and they shook hands.

The past two days, they had all began to notice Sunfire's absent smile. Everyone took a mental note of the perfectly straight face she had. Not any emotion at all. To Arachne, the expression reminded her of Ziva David from NCIS. Of course, her blank expression quickly turned to terror when she saw the spider on the floor.

"YIPE!!" she screamed. Everyone turned when they heard the spider hiss.

"Speedy! Are you OK baby?!" Arachne ran to her spider, picked it up and began petting it.

"It got out AGAIN?!" Sunny screeched.

"HE has a name you know! And you're scaring him!" Ari snapped, still stroking her tarantula. Ari seamed to have a strange way of calming spiders, and also insisted that whenever they found one that they'd put it outside instead of killing it. Plus, whenever she walked through a web, she'd make it a new one! Crow spoke up.

"Right...sorry Sun. Forgot to tell you. On the bright side, it didn't chase Kristi this time." he said walking up behind Sunny. As if on cue, the fluffy white cat trotted into the training room.

"Meow." she sounded irritated. Like she was saying, Hey! Why aren't you feeding me?! Then she saw the spider, let out a screech and ripped out of the room leaving a trail of fur. Arachne sighed, and went to put Speedy back in his cage. Hex muttered something under his breath, and only LB heard it. The next thing they knew, she was chasing him down the hall.

"Maybe I shouldn't have left the window open..." Sunny thought aloud, which caused everyone else to say;

"Uh-oh."

Then they heard screaming, and saw Hex out the window for a half-second. Also, they heard yelling from a very familiar voice, that made Percy and Crow (who were the only ones, besides Sunny left in the room), look at each other in complete, and utter horror. Sunny's eyes widened, and she stared at them. What shocked them was that her face said sadness and betrayal, not anger.

"Is that who I think it is?"

Fifteen minutes earlier.......

"Come back here you little coward!" LB yelled to the retreating Hex.

"NEVER!" he yelled as he increased his speed. He hadn't eaten in awhile, so he had a handicap on this one. The poor guy had no sense of direction, and ended up cornering himself next to a window. Well, several windows seeing as it was at the front of the tower.

Now this happened quite frequently. Hex said something stupid, LB would get mad, there would be a chase scene, and then she would throw him out a window. He was always OK, just a little wet. LB put some technology outside the tower that slowed his fall, but don't ask me how, or what it is. Because I really have no idea, but I digress.

Poor Hex was cornered in front of a window again, and Lucky arrived just in time to see LB yell at him, and throw him out the window. Now her reaction might seem over the top, but just imagine that you're in an eight story building, and someone just threw your sibling out the window.

"WHAT DID YOU JUST DO?!"

"Calm down girl."

"CALM DOWN?! YOU JUST THREW MY BROTHER OUT THE WINDOW!"

"It's not like I'd let him get hurt. The tower slows his fall, but that's too complicated to get into right now." she said putting her hand on Lucky's shoulder. Lucky calmed down, then tensed up again and pointed behind LB.

"Hi guys. Great to know you tell me everything." Sunny said. LB turned around to see Percy and Crow banging their heads against the wall. As an expert at horrible timing, Hex walked in (very, very wet), followed by Ari who was carrying Kristi. Of course, saving Hex, Crow stepped in.

"Sun-"

"Why didn't you TELL ME?!" she cried. Now the anger didn't surprise them. What did, was that she wasn't angry that Lucky was there, but that they never told her.

"Well, we were worried about how you'd react." he explained. If looks could kill, Crow would be in the ground with some daisies above him.

"What did you think I would do? Haul her off in handcuffs?!" she cried. No one would meet her eye, except the ever-honest Lucky.

"No. They thought you would put me on lock down." she said.

"LUCKY!" they all yelled.

"What! You know I can't lie!" she responded. No one could argue with that. Sunny was just shaking her head at them, her arms crossed.

"I can't believe you. I said I would help her!" she looked completely betrayed.

"You also said you couldn't trust her." Crow added.

"So you thought I would put her under lock down?! Who do you think I am?!" Sunny was about to blow a gasket.

"I have no idea! I don't know who you are anymore!" Crow snapped back. Everyone else just stood there, feeling very awkward.

"And what's that supposed to mean?!"

"It means that you're treating everyone here like spies, and me like a lap-dog!" he yelled. A silence followed that you could cut with a knife. That did it. Everyone filled the silence by making excuses to leave, except Lucky, who really couldn't leave. She was pinning all this on herself. Looking to Sunny, she realized that the red-head was about ready to cry.

"I don't treat you like a lap-dog." she whispered.

"Yes you do! For months I've been your faithful little golden retriever that does your bidding!"

"I-"

"And the others! You don't talk to hem, or even give them a second glance! You've been treating Hex like a traitor just because he wanted Lucky back! You said it wouldn't happen, but look! She's standing right next to you!"

"I have eyes! I know she's there! I know I didn't think she would, but I was just trying to protect Hex! I didn't want him to get hurt!"

"Too late!"

That's when Crow realized he had gone too far. The tears in her eyes broke free, and streamed down her face. Sunny grabbed hold of Luck's wrist.

"Look, she's back and that's all that matters right now! Come on Lucky, we need to make sure Slade doesn't figure out where you went." she muttered. With that, she lead the younger girl down the hall, leaving Crow to bang his head against the wall. Then, the very nosey bunch all fell out of the vent from trying to hear what was happening.

"Dude, I'm all for standing up for yourself, but that was harsh." Percy said.

Yeah...notice how things always sound better in your head? Yeah...their fights are mentioned, but never shown. Until now.
