I tossed and turned all night and by the time that I looked at the clock, it was 4:45 a.m. I was about to attempt actually sleeping when I heard heavy sobbing. I rolled out of the bed and walked out of my room, not caring about my lack of clothing (wearing only an over-sized old t-shirt.) The hallways were silent so I figured to go into the room next to mine, which Bobby was currently using. Bobby was crying her eyes out on the love-seat in her room. I ran over and sat beside her, instantly petting her hair. She leaned down and sobbed on my chest. For another half-an-hour she continued to cry heavily.

"D-d-did I wake you?" Her British accent was thick; I'm not sure how I hadn't noticed it before.

"I was already awake, couldn't sleep a wink. Now I want to know if you're alright," she whimpered underneath of my gaze and her arms wrapped around my middle tighter.

"I'll be f-fine," I sighed and kissed her forehead.

"If you're going to live here, you need to know something." Her lip quivered and she looked up with anxious eyes. "Do you know about superheroes?" she nodded. "Do you know that they're real?" she nodded once more. "I'm a villain, as is Frankie," she whimpered again. "But we won't hurt you."

"There's something that I should tell you," she sighed and released me, her black hair tucked behind her ear. "I should gain powers soon, my father has powers." I nodded and smiled at her.

"Wait… you said your father has powers? I thought he was…?"

"He's in jail. My mother died back home, I'm not staying with his wretched wench of a wife."

"So what's you're last name?"

"Battle? I guess… I went by mum's last name but since she's gone, it's Battle." My throat dried up.

"As in Baron Battle?" she nodded. "You're Warren Peace's sister?"

"I would assume. My whole name is Roberta Battle but I absolutely despise it."

"Bobby… how would you feel about living here until you want to leave?"

"I'd feel wonderful."

"One problem though; if I enroll you in school, you'll need a current guardian since you're a minor."

"I have an idea," she looked for my approval and when she got it, she continued. "Why don't you adopt me?" I grinned at her.

"I'm only eighteen, but I know someone who can help us. But let's see if I can. Why don't you go back to sleep?" she nodded and crawled into her bed.


"Impossible, Amazon we can't do it!" James stated, looking through files on his laptop typing faster than he's done before.

"It may be impossible for me, but it's not impossible for Vixen," Gabe shook his head at me and looked at James who did the same.

"Getting the adoption papers are the easy part, the hard part would be breaking into a maximum security jail cell and having Baron Battle sign them!" James added, looking at me as if I were crazy.

"James, over the years… I have learned that nothing is impossible for me when I try. You should know by now not to doubt me."

"Why would you even want to do this?"

"Why? Did you just ask me why? This girl is thirteen years old, her mother is dead, father is in jail and she doesn't like her father's new wife. She doesn't want that family; I'm giving this girl something that I never had."

"And what's that?"

"A choice! The choice to live with someone who's not going to crush your dreams or tell you who you can and cannot be. I don't want her to be unhappy; she's thirteen for Christ's sake!"

"Exactly! She's thirteen! She should live with someone who can teach her wrong from right."

"Are you implying that I wouldn't make a good parent?"

"No, not implying that. I'm implying that you don't make a good role model."

"I don't want to be like a parent to her, I want to be a friend- someone she can look to for help, someone to provide for her."

"Amazon, I don't think it's a good idea."

"I don't care, James. I'm going to help her, whether it means I have your approval or not. She needs me and I'll be here for her."

"Don't doubt her. She's stubborn and determined… she's the perfect role model for a young teenage girl," Ralph added, Speed and Lash nodded their heads in agreement.

"I agree with Amazon, this girl needs a friend. She needs someone to care for her, maybe not parents… but a family," Frankie spoke, looking at James with sad sincere eyes.

"I'll help," I smiled at Frankie and we both hugged James.

"Thank you." I whispered to him.

"I'm in," Gabe added grinning at me.

"We'll help too," Speed and Lash spoke in unison.

"I didn't have a doubt about you two," I sighed as I looked at the clock. "When will you be able to print the paperwork off?"

"Soon; when will Tabby get here?" I smirked at James.

"She's already here," Grams spoke before walking out of the dark corner smoking a cigarette.

"You know those things are bad for your health…"

"I do a lot of things that are bad for my health."

"Touché," She winked and blew smoke in James's face.

"So I heard that you needed a favor from me."

"How good are you at getting signatures from people?"

"Very, very good."


"Here are the papers," Grams handed them to me with a signature from someone at the agency. "All you need is Baron's signature. Breaking into the jail is going to be hard."

"Oh not you too," I hissed, pulling my hair back in a ponytail.

"I said it was hard, I didn't say it was impossible. I know you, and I know exactly what you are capable of." I smiled and hugged her.

"Thanks Grams."

"Now go!" I jumped off of the roof and onto another, scoping the city for the jail. When I had reached it I snuck in through the back door, knocking out the guard with a sleeping gas.

"Are they that stupid? A back door to a jail house, idiots." I stole the keys from the already dead guard (not the knocked out one) and stabbed another guard in the spinal cord. I unlocked the door and slid through the bars on the door. "Shit. This many fucking guards?" There were twelve men standing in front of the cell. I pulled out a gun and shot all of them, each in the head, instantly going down.

"You are?" Baron's deep voice asked from inside of the cell. I smiled at him and pulled my mask off.

"My name is Amazon Jinx, I was wondering if I could have custody over your daughter." Baron's eyes lit up when he heard me.

"Bobby?" I nodded. "How is she? Is she alright?"

"She doesn't like Warren's mom, so she wants to stay with me. I saved her from… being sexually assaulted." Baron's eyes went dark when he heard the last part. "I killed all of them men."

"For that I am grateful."

"Will you sign her over to me?" I asked handing him the paper and a pen.

"Are you a hero or a vigilante?"

"Villain." He smirked at me.

"You got it." He quickly signed the papers and handed them over to me. "Has she gotten her powers yet?" I shook my head.

"She will soon though, I can feel it."

"I wonder whose powers she will get."

"Who was her mother?"

"Diana Prince."

"Please tell me that you're joking right now." He shook his head. "Her mother, your first wife… was Wonder Woman?" He nodded. "The Wonder Woman?"

"That exact one."

"Bobby is British though."

"She grew up there, that doesn't mean that her mother was necessarily British."

"Wow."

"Indeed."

"Does Bobby know that her mother was one of the greatest heroines of all time?"

"I don't think so. I believe Diana died before she could reveal the truth to Bobby. She had gone inactive when she found out that she was pregnant."

"Do you have a thing for female super heroes?"

"It seems that way, doesn't it?" I nodded and let out a laugh.
