Ok so I really really hate this chapter, don't ask me why I just do. Some of the events are out of order by the way, mostly because I had to write this one (minus the really crappy end) by memory due to the fact that my computer decided it wanted to glitch out. So, I don't own Young Justice and happy reading.

DICE

Mount Justice

July 18, 11:16 EST

It'd been ten days since Batman had approved of the existence of the team and the others were getting antsy. Of course, them running out to greet Red Tornado asking for a mission didn't help.

"Mission assignments are the Batman's responsibility." Red Tornado informed the group, as if they didn't already know that. I sighed and used my telekinesis to start levitating.

"But it's been over a week and nothing." Robin complained.

"You'll be tested soon enough. For the time being simply enjoy each other's company." Red Tornado suggested.

"This team is not a social club." Aqualad grumbled.

"No, but I am told social interaction is an important team building exercise. Perhaps you can keep busy by familiarizing yourselves with the cave." As Red Tornado began walking away Miss Martian tried to read his mind, but then remembered he was a machine therefore she was unable to hear his thoughts. That cued Kid Flash to shamelessly start flirting with her. I rolled my eyes.

"And now we tour the clubhouse." Aqualad muttered darkly. Someone was really taking this hard.

Everyone started inside, but I hung back. "Are you coming?" Aqualad asked when he realized I wasn't following.

"Yeah I'll be there in a bit." I answered reaching inside my pocket for the phone Charlie had built me. Aqualad said nothing more as he went after the others. I pulled out the phone and dialed Maggie's number.

"Alice, you don't have to keep checking in." Maggie sighed into my ear.

"Yeah, I know, but since the incident and then that thing on Independence Day I just wanna make sure Charlie knows I'm thinking about her." I answered glancing at the open door of the cave.

"Alice just go. Do what you have to do." Maggie told me.

I turned my back on the cave door and lowered my voice. "What I need to do is kill Robin. On July fourth alone I was presented with several opportunities to complete my mission, but I couldn't bring myself to do it. On top of that I told him to stay away from the apartment." Maggie sighed. It seemed she had been doing a lot of that lately.

"It's just like you told me ten days ago. You're confused. Just go with the flow Alice." I sighed.

"Thanks Maggie. You're usually able to set me straight." I hung up and headed into the cave.

"What about Dice?" Robin was asking. I flinched at the sound of my nickname.

"What about me?" I asked trying to act casual.

"We were talking about secret IDs and how Robin's not allowed to reveal his." Kid Flash answered.

"Are you going to reveal yours?" Robin prodded.

"Might as well since you already know it." I answered sticking my hands in the pockets of my jeans. "I'm Alice. Alice O'Malley." I continued.

Suddenly Superboy was shouting about something and after a moment I understood why. Miss Martian was talking telepathically. She didn't get why everyone was so bothered by her mental communication. It didn't bother me so much as make me nauseous. Sensing telepathic messages sent to other people and sensing it while receiving it were two very different things. It was a lot like getting shocked every time you picked up the telephone.

"M'gann stop! Things are different on Earth. Here, your powers are an extreme invasion of privacy." Aqualad exclaimed. It seemed i wasn't the only one feeling the weight of her telepathic voice. I had to admit she was one of the most powerful telepaths I had ever met.

"Besides, Cadmus's creepy little psychic genomes left a bad taste in his brain." Kid Flash added once the strain lessened. I leaned against the wall trying to remember how to breath. M'gann tried to splutter out an apology, but Superboy cut her off.

That left M'gann with only the bright idea of showing us her bioship. Man, not even a full day and I was already regretting it. First telepathic induced nausea and now flying. What was this martian doing? Trying to make me sick?

"Are you alright?" Robin asked from behind me. I almost jumped. Great, so my choices were ralph up my non-existent breakfast or let my guard down. I'd been warned never to let my guard down.

"Fine, I'm just not a big fan of flying." I muttered into my knees trying hard to breath correctly.

"But you were flying back at Cadmus." Superboy stated sounding slightly confused. I didn't know he cared.

"Using telekinesis to levitate and actually flying are two different things." I said softly resting my forehead against my knees. Of course, by then everyone was distracted by M'gann showing off her shape shifting abilities. I looked up to watch, in hopes of distracting myself. First, she turned into Robin and then Kid Flash, girl versions of them at least.

"Is it wrong that I think I'm hot?" Kid Flash asked. God talk about a narcissist. I groaned loudly.

One of the guys pointed out she wouldn't exactly fool anyone with those shape changes. she admitted that mimicking boys was hard.

"Can you do that ghosting through walls thing Manhunter does?" Kid Flash wondered.

"Density shifting? No, it's a very advanced technique." The only reason she couldn't do it was because she'd yet to attempt to learn it. Or at least that was my bet. After all I'd felt her mental presence. To say if she was a Jedi the force would be strong in her was beyond an understatement.

"Flash can vibrate his molecules right through a wall. When he tries to do it, bloody nose." Robin said with a chuckle in reference to Kid Flash.

"Dude!" Kid Flash objected.

"Great so if we ever get trapped in a giant box we're pretty much screwed." I grumbled.

"What's your problem?" Kid Flash snapped. I scowled. I should have kept my big fat mouth shut. I took a deep breath and let it out slowly.

"Nothing." I lied. I knew in my current condition the only thing that would even be slightly believable was the truth.

Before any of them could call me on my bluff we were suddenly caught in what seemed to be a tornado. "Oh, mother of mercy." I muttered as we were tossed about. Somehow M'gann managed to land.

"Robin are tornados common in New England?" Aqualad asked, but the boy wonder was already gone.

"But he was just here." M'gann said in amazement.

"Yeah he does that. You should have seen him during our visit to Cadmus. Major ninja mojo that one." I answered. Wait why was I talking about him so casually? I needed to kill him in order to secure Charlie's safety. But what had Maggie said? go with the flow. I guess this was going with the flow.

We all ran inside where Robin was already getting his rear end kicked.

"Who's your new friend?" Superboy asked.

"Didn't catch his name, but he plays kind of rough." Robin replied. I couldn't help but roll my eyes. What did he expect? Villains to just lie down and play nice?

The wacko told us to call him Mister Twister and after he threw Superboy the others rushed him. I decided to stay back and roll my dice. Depending on the outcome it could be useful. Kid Flash was thrown in one direction M'gann and Aqualad back towards Superboy. That left me and Robin.

"I was prepared to be challenged by a superhero. I was not, however, expecting children." Mister Twister said as I rolled my dice. They bounced right past Robin and were headed for Mister Twister.

"We're not Children." Robin shouted as he started throwing what appeared to be bombs at the red dude. He, and the others, were most certainly children, or at least they acted like it. The only one who gave me pause in this assessment was Aqualad.

"Objectively you are. Have you no supervision? I find your presence here quite disturbing." Mister Twister said calmly not even the least bit phased by Robin's efforts.

"Well we hate to see you disturbed. Let's see if you're more turbed once we kick your can." I groaned. Was he trying to kill me by ruining the English language? He and the Martian were going to be the death of me no question.

The "team" attempted a more coordinated attack. First M'gann, then Superboy, and finally Aqualad and Robin together. They all failed and my dice got sent flying in the ensuing whirlwinds. Damn and I couldn't use telekinesis on them because it would negate the roll.

I had to try something, and without negating the roll. So how did I do that? I pulled my energy into myself and focused on pushing it out slowly, hoping it wouldn't read until the roll did, otherwise it would only come out as telekensis which really wasn't useful in this situation. I was honestly just hoping for the best. Before the telekinesis could land on the enemy it transformed into the very air. Great aerokinesis, just because he was controlling the air didn't mean I had to. He turned on me and used his own wind to send me flying backwards like the others. I landed painfully on my back two little nubs shoving against my spine. My dice.

I stood and scooped up my dice. This was not going well. We all headed outside where Kid Flash was being tossed about like a ragdoll for the second time.

"I got you Wally." M'gann said as she used her telekinesis to stop Kid Flash from smashing into a building wall. So, Miss Martian was M'gann and Kid Flash was Wally. I was catching on fast for someone not involved in their secret ID conversation. Now if only I could figure out Robin's true name. Then I could really do some damage. I already knew he went to Gotham Academy which narrowed the list of suspects down, if only slightly.

M'gann was given permission to ready bad guy minds. So, if they ever found out I was playing on team villain, even if it was only to save my sister… The very thought made me wanna hurl. M'gann got nothing, which led her to the foolish assumption Mister Twister was Red Tornado in disguise. I didn't think so, after all even in disguise Red Tornado wouldn't destroy buildings and terrorize people, but I said nothing. After all the rest of the team seemed to think this made perfect sense. Idiots. Then again, they were boys and the suggestion had come from a girl.

Aqualad, Kid Flash, and Robin decided the best course of action would be not to fight. Idiots! Mister Twister began bending the winds to his will in such a way it was generating lightning.

"Uh can Red Tornado do that?" Wally asked nervously, at least someone was regretting their choice.

"You think I'm Tornado? Ironic." I knew he wasn't Tornado. Mister Twister's attack finally touched down. We were all thrown back and this time a drag trail was left. And for once I was glad for the training I received. It made getting my butt handed to me a little less painful, emotionally and physically.

M'gann hid us from Mister Twister's sights by placing the bioship between him and us. That didn't stop Superboy from chewing her out for "tricking" them into thinking Mister Twister was Red Tornado.

"She may have said it, but you lot could have questioned it." I snapped. I may not have had any chances to get to know M'gann and I never trusted anyone on sight, however I couldn't just sit there and watch her get yelled at for a mistake that landed on the boys' shoulders as well as hers. Superboy turned his glare on me, but I was unfazed.

"Really Superboy if you're trying to intimidate me you'll have to do better than that." After all I had been trained by villains.

M'gann and I were sent packing while the boys followed Mister Twister. "So, it's a boy club now is it?" I muttered darkly. Why did I even care? I looked at my cell phone, but didn't dare call. I couldn't go to Maggie with all my problems especially not the ones concerning the team or my roller coaster of emotions. It angered me how much I dumped on Maggie, but she always just took everything in stride.

M'gann decided to call Red Tornado telling him the team really needed his help. Red Tornado said if he went to where the boys were it would not be to help. Oh, he really should have. Do to the guys what they did to us. I groaned and put my head in my hands. I really had been spending too much time with villains. M'gann suddenly contacted everyone mentally. I flinched, but at least the girl now had a plan.

I sighed as we began to put the plan into action. "What number is that?" Robin asked as I created the tornados "Red Tornado" was generating alone with Wally. Poor guy must have been getting dizzy.

"Number six." I answered. We went through with the rest of the plan and the guy inside the robot was unveiled. M'gann delivered the final blow by crushing him with a rock. The guys freaked.

M'gann only smiled and lifted the rock to reveal another robot. The matter was closed later that evening by Red Tornado himself. Unfortunately, the chills that coiled around my spine told me this was far from over and my instincts were never wrong.
