Hey guys! Another chapter, since the last one got so many faves so soon! More follows, faves, and reviews, the more I write in my free time. Just to let you know. See you at the bottom!

Jerralin had a great family. She was clever. She was short, but that didn't bother her. She found herself rather pretty, even though most people didn't notice. And she had superpowers. Well, a few, anyway.

Jerra's powers were caused by a mix of heroic heritage (meta genes), training unknowingly her entire life, good moral standards, and a few chemistry experiments gone wrong.

The time warping was most likely in her all along. She couldn't explain it. Even after a series of private tests were conducted, she was left with the answer "it must just be you."

So, genetic glitch somewhere. It was triggered when she started volunteering at Star Labs. Her dad was low on the food chain, and not told any of the secrets, but could at least get his clever, interested girl a position.

She carried around vials and sorted them, putting them on shelves. It was rather boring. One day, however, she dropped a handful. They shattered on the concrete floor and splattered her in different colored liquids.

Jerra screamed at the top of her lungs as the serums combined with her skin, seeping through her pants and shoes.

She stumbled out of the steaming puddle.

Her vision got blurry.

She tried to blink it away as a few scientist-like figures ran through the door.

Upon opening her eyes, she found the paralyzed, staring at the spot she had been in.

That was the first time she had stopped time.

She had been thirteen.

The next power she found was her ability to morph her ATP molecules into solid matter. She nearly died the first time. At age fourteen, Jerra was walking home from the library when a group of teenage gang members jumped her. Throwing her down an alley, she yelled at them not to come any closer.

When they did, she through her hands in front of her to shield herself. Gold light seeped out of her arms like she was covered in water, and it splashed at them. It burned through their skin on contact. They ran away. She was left unable to get up from lack of energy. Her heart almost failed.

She stopped using that power.

In all, Jerra was quite normal. Or, as normal as Artemis or Robin. She didn't always use her powers. She wasn't unbelievably strong or ultra fast; she just trained a lot. She used the hero life to make up for her days as being the runt of her high school classes, where she wasn't allowed to use her training. Well, every now and again she'd pause time to help a good kid when they scattered their books, grabbing the papers and making a neat pile for them.

Jerralin was normal.

Ish.

"Fancy seeing you here," Robin grinned, round house kicking a goon.

"Been a while," she replied, out of breath. Her mask was gone. Again. Robin wanted to rip his off and stick it on her, but he knew protocol. He'd get Alfred to find some decent masks for the girl.

"I see you brought friends," Jerra huffed, punching a guy down, breaking a few of the unstable boards they were standing on.

"You don't sound too mad," Robin said wryly.

"Get back to work," she scoffed.

After the team and girl had finished their works and started cleaning their mess, Robin introduced her to the team.

"Guys, this is Tempus. Temp, meet Aqualad, Superboy, Miss Martian, Artemis, and Kid Flash."

Tempus grinned, not coming within five feet of anyone but the Boy Wonder.

"Hiya."

A bomb went off behind them-not big, just big enough to block the door. Jerra spun to see what was wrong. The building was on fire. Miss Martian stopped flying. "What's wrong?" Jerra demanded, picking the girl up and holding her over her shoulder even though the girl's feet were dragging the ground, not helping.

"Heat." Artemis said. "Martians and Atlantians don't handle heat very well." Kaldur looked sick.

"Oh, jeez." Tempus looked around."We can't pull ourselves up. Boards too weak. I recommend going through the wall, since it's relatively breakable and not on fire." They nodded, and Robin propped up Kaldur. Wally tried to take Miss Martian from Jerra, but she scowled. "I got her. You make sure Artemis and Superboy get out quick enough. As soon as it's blown, the building will collapse."

Wally nodded and sped to his friends, ushering them quicker. "Robin, would you do the honors?" Tempus asked, telling him to grab something from his belt.

"Be ready," Kaldur called. Robin threw an explosive. They ran for the opening. Seconds later, the building had collapsed, and the young heroes were in a heap on the concrete.

"Everyone okay?" Superboy coughed.

"Yep," Artemis said, pulling herself out of the dust.

"'M fine," Robin said, looking around at the damage.

"I am all right," Megan replied, sitting up.

"Kid Flash?" Kaldur called.

They looked around.

"Where's Kid Flash?" Megan demanded.

Robin's eyes widened behind the mask. "Where's Tempus?"

The roof had caved in, but the walls were still oddly intact.

Wally and Jerra huddled together under some debris. Coughing, Wally tried to move it.

It didn't budge too much. "Tempus," he hacked. "Tempus, wake up."

The girl moaned. "Why'd you push us to the side? Front would've been better," she groaned, sitting up.

"Sorry." He blushed. "Didn't think it through."

"No kidding. How deep are we?"

"Not deep at all. A few ceiling rafters, a board or two, and we're home free."

"Is the place still on fire?" Tempus asked.

"Possibly."

"Then we're not home free." They began attempting to stand up, pushing the beams with their backs.

"Why is this so heavy?" Wally demanded. Between the two of them, it was barely shifting.

"It had to support the entire structure," Jerra replied. "Of course the main beam would land on us."

They gave up after a minute. "Can't your friends track us somehow?" Jerra asked.

"Right!" He began concentrating.

"What the heck are you doing?"

"Mental linkup."

"...That's not normal."

"Martians?"

"Oh." Tempus looked away. There was an orange hue a ways away. "Hurry up with that, will you? I think the beam's caught fire."

Wally concentrated harder.

After a moment of waiting, Jerra screamed, "Help! Over here!"

"Guys!" Wally yelled. "A little assistance!"

Soon, beams were shifting. Superboy appeared. "Found them!"

The trio sprinted away from the fire. Conner jumped out. Wally was about to speedster-it-up when he saw Jerra not running fast at all. "Don't you have powers?" He asked. She nodded, coughing. "Well, now's the time!" She stumbled after him, smoke getting in her eyes. She really missed that mask now. Wally rolled his eyes, ran back to her, scooped her up princess style, and bolted. Seconds later they were outside, and he set her down. "You okay?"

"I'm fine!" She snapped.

"Nice suit." Robin remarked, walking over to them. "Should I say, nice soot."

"Ha ha." Jerra ruffled her hair, trying to get the ash out. "That was pleasant." She brushed off her suit a bit. "Well, nice working with you. I'm going home now." She started to walk away.

"What, no running?" Robin called.

Jerra looked back and grinned. "And waste my energy? No thanks." She waved and continued walking quickly. They didn't follow.

"She's an odd one," Megan noted.

"No kidding." Artemis agreed. "I kinda like her."

"She didn't use her powers at all," Robin scowled. "Why not?"

"Maybe she's not as strong as you think, Rob." Wally interjected. "She definitely wasn't too strong when we were stuck. Maybe she's…normal, besides the whole I-can-stop-time-mwah-ha-ha thing."

The team rolled their eyes. "At least now she's an ally, or close to one," Kaldur sighed. "Maybe we can understand her better later."

Hey, guys! Thanks for all the views (so many! Jeepers!) and reveiws (WNF, you are so supportive, as always, thank you.) I appreciate all the faves, too. Oh, here's a link to give you a better picture of Jerra: image/40150447575 Kind of captures the personality. Check out my dA, where there is lots of fanart to come!
