These past chapters have been horrible. I don't blame you if you've stopped reading.
Anyway, my computer,s battery has died and I,m milking every last second of power I have. The battery, of course, is one of the rarest out there, that they don't sell anywhere except the manufactures store, for two hundred bucks. D=

I do however, own the three villains mentioned in here.
The moment Superboy barrelled through the door, they'd realised something bad was happening.
The Kryptonian had been tackled within seconds upon entering. By what, you may ask? A large black and green creature had launched itself at him, locking its jaws around Superboy's face and digging its claws in his shoulders.
Conner threw it off easily, stepping forward to allow the rest of The Team access.
But the furry creature persisted.
It flew through the air and landed gracefully in front of him. It was a wolf, although they only just realised that when the wolf began to swell. The Team cringed as it smelled into a prehistoric creature thought to never be able to walk the earth again.
A Tyrannosaurus-rex.
Superboy stood gaping as the green thing lowered its head until it was level with his, and opened its mouth to reveal teeth the size of kitchen knives, possibly even larger.
It surprised them that it was Garth, the one that none of them, with the exception of Kaldur, Robin and Wally, spoke up first, and with such a careless, nonchalant tone too.
"Wow, Changeling. Way to make an impression."
The creature paused his sneering, at looked around the group with narrowed eyes. His gaze fell on Robin, who was giving him an 'I'll explain later' look. Garth swerved around him and patted Changeling on the snout.
The T-rex began to calm, and with his understanding he began shrinking. In its place there was soon a young boy with green skin and matching hair. He wore a white and red outfit, which was torn from an apparent fight.
He squeezed his eyes shut and fell in a tired heap at Garth's feet. He shifted once again, to a smaller shape, a kitten, and crawled to a blue-black shape they'd failed to notice before. He pressed himself into the heap and began making pitiful mewling noises. They were so personal that The Team felt awkward hearing them.
Robin stepped forward, crossing the room in a few steps. He knelt down beside the figure, rolling it over to get a better look.
What he saw must have surprised him, because he grew rigid incredibly fast.
"Wally?" he called. The Team froze at his use of Kid flash's real name. What if there were enemies here? "Come here for a moment. You too, Garth."
Kaldur was about to ask why Robin was giving out orders, but something stopped him. The looks on their faces, maybe. Or possibly just the pitiful wails the kitten was emitting.
He could see that the figure was human, or at least humanoid, from how they sprawled her out.
She had pale skin and short purple hair. Her eyes were closed and her mouth was open just slightly, allowing her to breath. The only sign that she actually was breathing was her chest, which rose and fell rhythmically, but terrifyingly slowly.
It was only when he heard an arrow whiz through the air that he remembered where he was.
In the doorway across from them, staring down at the body on the floor, was a girl in a mask.
But not just any mask.
This girl was Cheshire.
~S~
"Oh, I'm sorry!" she said in a mock surprised voice. "I didn't realize we had guests!"
"You should have, Cheshire, seeing as we had those two chasing us." An old man with grey hair and a kind face followed her. He hardly seemed like a real opponent, seeing as he had to lean on his cane for support and his body was lean and frail. He was all skin and bones with barely any muscle.
"Now where are my manners?" he looked actually ashamed of himself, shaking his head and sighing. "My name is Master of Fate."
"This is Marionette." he introduced the woman to his right, a short woman with dark tanned skin and glassy eyes that seemed lifeless. She had two scars running horizontally from the edges of her lips like the mouth on a marionette, and held a marionette-less wood cross control.
"And this is Toothache." He motioned to the man next to him who wore a white and blue dentist's get-up. His eyes were crystal blue and his hair was white as snow, casting a calm appearance across his features. Until he twitched. His whole body seemed to convulse, and then he hunched over and began mumbling to himself, casting glances at them.
No, not at them, but at their teeth.
Changeling snarled from his position next to the crumpled girl, his body convulsing once again to take the form of the same wolf.
Toothache squealed in delight, but was held back by the old man.
"But Master!" he whined, reaching towards the snarling beast. "He has such beautiful teeth!"
Master of Fate cuffed him over the head and gave him a sharp glare, forcing the insane dentist to hide behind Marionette, who still stood in the same position, her glassy eyes staring at them lazily.
"I have only come for the girl, Changeling." He said calmly. Cheshire began rocking back and forth, clenching her hands into tight fists.
More snarls filled the room as Changeling stepped forward threateningly. Robin stood up, leaving Wally and Garth with her.
"You can't take her." Robin said simply.
The kind man disappeared in a second. Fate's face twisted in anger and his eyes narrowed into slits.
The fragile old man raised his cane shakily and pointed it at them.
"I'll ask one more time boy. Give her to me."
"No."
For a few moments, nothing happened.
And then it all hit them.
The entire team was launched towards the back wall, with the exception of Superboy, who was in line with the door and was launched down the hall until he met a wall. They were being held down by some unseen force, all but Raven, who was still lying in the middle of the room.
"Marionette." he snapped. Her glassy eyes sprang to life as she scuttled over to Raven. She tied a silver string to Raven's wrist and then stood up. She held the wood cross in her hands and then raised it as if she were controlling an invisible marionette.
But instead of a puppet reacting, Raven did.
Her left arm rose first, and then her right, until she was standing upright, so painfully straight that it was hard to imagine that she wasn't just a dead stiff.
The pressure still held them to the wall, although it seemed to let up just enough to allow Changeling to crawl forward a few feet before slumping against the hard tile floors.
Raven walked as if in a trance, towards the group of three.
Master of Fate's face was sickening throughout it. He looked like he was listening intently, one eyebrow raised slightly and his head tilted to the side.
And then his cane snapped back to his side and the pressure disappeared. Hs calm and kind face returned and he smiled down at the exhausted teens.
And then they disappeared, in a puff of smoke.
Just like that, the entire group disappeared, the only trace left being the sweat of the teens and the small wisps of smoke.
Even Raven had disappeared.
The Team gasped in their places; sweating as if they'd just been thrown out into a desert. Superboy stumbled in the room, collapsing once he'd returned.
"Garfield!" someone was screaming from the hallway the four villains had entered through.
"Garfield, Raven!" again, the same voice. "Are you okay?"
Another voice joined her. "Friends, answer us, please!"
These voices were unmistakable.
Jinx and Starfire had returned.
And then the world blew up.
Next time, meet the team behind the cross that Jinx, Star and Garth wear, and meet the girl who's been handing them out!
(Master of Fate was not based off of Doctor Fate, okay? He appeared by accident, and then I realized the similarities. *shot*)
