The Cave, 8:30pm Nora POV

When I walk into the kitchen, a wonderful smell hits my nose. Someone was cooking food, and it was good food. Of course, the war had made times tough on everyone. This ended up with people mostly relying on canned goods. The fresh stuff was too expensive for anyone but the rich to get.

I drift in, my nose following the scent. It smelled sweet, like fried dumplings or something. There was also a slight hint of curry. I look over at someone who was washing dishes in the sink. It was that Anaji girl, with a large burn across her face. "Cooking?" I ask into the air.

She jumps up, almost dropping the pan she was holding. "Oh, geez! You scared me!" she complains. Her icy blue eyes look startled as she drops the pan into the sink. "Sorry." I offer. "Bad habit."

She sighs. "No problem. As long as it wasn't the idiot who said ballet wasn't a sport." She gives a little huff and then smiles at me. "I am. I found some supplies in the cabinet. Zatanna said that it was all ours, so, ta-da."

I smile back at her. "What'd you make?" She claps her hands together. "Ooh, try it first!" she moves over to the stove and pulls something out of a boiling pot. She scoops it up into a napkin, then sticks a toothpick into it and gives it to me.

I inspect the little doughy ball for a minute. It's cooked to a golden brown, and looks perfectly fine to me. I glance at Anaji who gives me an encouraging smile. I look back down, grab the tooth pick and pop the little ball into my mouth. It tastes sweet, cheese-based, and syrupy.

"Wow!" I says after I'm done. "You just made that?"

Anaji grins at me. "Yes! It's called Rasgulla."

"What's it made from?" I inquire.

"The dish is made from ball shaped dumplings of chhena-"

"What's chhena?" I interrupt.

"An Indian cottage cheese, oh and semolina dough. I cooked in light syrup made of sugar. Simple as that."

"Where on earth did you learn to cook like this?"

"The internet!" she exclaims, then turns back to stove. "I also made Imarti, Dosa, and Kulcha with Chole."

I smile. "Sounds yummy." She nods, self-satisfied. "I'll be done in a few minutes if you want to get the others. " I nod and walk out of the room.

"Guys? Guys?" I call out, looking around the Cave for everyone. I find Cassandra, Adam, and Braydon in the gym. Cassandra is sitting crisscross on a yoga mat in the middle of the room. Braydon is sitting next to her on another yoga mat. They're both staring at Adam. He's on a treadmill, but he's not running. He has his feet up, his ankles on the treadmill, and he's spinning around on his heels.

I walk over to Cassandra and Braydon and sit down behind them, equally mesmerized by him. "What is he doing?" I ask. Cassandra doesn't take her eyes from Adam. "I don't know. It's hypnotic." Braydon pipes in; "We've been watching him for almost fifteen minutes." I look from both of them then back at Adam. I watched him with them for about five minutes or so, until Cassandra notes something.

"He's gonna hurl."

"Whoa, what?" Braydon asks, never breaking his gaze on Adam.

"He looks like he's gonna puke." She says again. As if on cue, Adam stops spinning and rushes over to the nearest trashcan. "Ewwww!" Cassandra and I exclaim at the same time. Braydon makes a face. "That's just nasty."

Suddenly, there is an ear pitching scream, almost blood curling. Cassandra and Braydon look up from Adam. "Anaji!" I say. The three of us stand up and run across the cave. Adam is at our heels, still looking green. When we reach the kitchen, Anaji is frozen, staring at the wall, a plate shattered on the floor.

"Anaji, what's wrong?!" I ask her. She takes a few deep breaths. "S-spider!" she yelps out, and points to the sink. Braydon rolls his eyes. "That scared us for nothing. I'll get it." He grabs a napkin from the counter. I look down at Anaji's feet and see plate shards everywhere. "Don't move, you'll cut yourself." I say.

"I got it!" Cassandra says. The plate pieces levitate off the ground and form a pile in mid-air, then fall into the trashcan near the counter. Anaji gives a little sigh and smile. "Thanks." She puts a hand over her heart. "I don't know how it got in here, but it sure did freak me out. It should probably leave now, right?"

She's talking strange. "Hey, why are you talking funny?" asks Braydon bluntly. Anaji gives a shrug. "Spiders scare the crud out of me…. Why is Adam green?"

We explained his spinning on the treadmill and she laughs out loud. "Wow, I'd love to see that. I wonder where the others are…"

The Cave, Mission Room 8:45 pm Kenny POV

"We need more people to join the team, right?" I ask Black Canary. She nods. "We do. Perhaps someone more trained then our current members."

"I'm trained!" I insist. Black Canary sighs. "That's not the point, Kendra." I frown at her. "Kenny."

"Kenny." She corrects herself. I tap my fingers on my thigh thoughtfully. "Maybe Yuri and Brandon?" I ask.

"No, they're living in Empire City with their daughter Mae." She says. I bite my inside cheek. Yuri and Brandon had married when they were 19 or so… it made sense that they would have a child together, but it still seemed weird. "Oh yeah… I got their Christmas card last year. I didn't know the world's top spies getting married would dull their skills so much."

"They've retired, Kendra. It didn't take away any skills; they just want a family life."

"Kenny."

"Right, Kenny." She corrects herself again.

"How about Kari?" I offer, mentioning our hyper-active friend. "Nope, she's undercover at Lex Corp."

"The Twins?"

"Cameron and Cam are on opposite sides of the war."

"Mavis?"

"You know she doesn't fight."

"Lynn?"

"Same thing, they're at the C.O.N.T.R.O.L. base."

"So, no Kana, then?"

"No."

"Sammy?"

"Investigating ruins on another planet."

"Ughhhhhh, this is hard! So what, we just pick meta humans off the street?" Black Canary pinches the bridge of her nose. "I don't know, Kendra. It just seems impossible with so many people in hiding, and so many people fighting."

"Kenny."

"Kenny." She corrects. I hover above the ground, thinking. "I wonder where the Amazons are right now."

HQ of Pro-Fight side, 9:00pm

"The battle is about to start." said The Flash.

"I know." replied Batman. "Of course you did." He muttered in response. "Is everything ready?" asked Blue Beatle. "Yes. Here, kid." Batman tossed necklace at Blue Beatle, who caught it. The necklace wasn't much to look at, simple string, but the stone on it shined in the dimly lit room.

"Kryptonite." Blue Beatle said in almost a hushed whisper. "Red Kryptonite. Don't lose it. You know what to do." Blue Beatle nodded. "Yeah, got it. Don't get caught, don't die, right. Don't drop it."

Batman nodded and Blue Beatle walked out of the room. "You sure this is a good idea, Batman?" asked Rocket. "Yes. I need you to distract Green Arrow when we get there."

"And the Amazons? Batman stood up from in front of the computer screen, which showed the amazons preparing for battle, sharping their swords and arrows.

"Kill them, but not Cassie. Take her as prisoner, alive."

'Wonder Woman, Batman?" asked The Flash attentively.

"She's mine."

Heyo! It's me, your loveable author. If you want to learn more about the people who I mentioned in the story who you might not know, go to the young justice fanon wiki and search up some names. It'll be totally crash! Write, SG?
