Audrey unrolled her sleeping bag, placing it on the floor. She smiled at Cassie, who smiled, sitting on her bed.

"I'm really glad you invited me," Audrey smiled; Despite the fact she was the one to instigated it.

"I'm sure it beats the warehouse," Cassie smiled.

Audrey snorted, laughing. "You bet. You can hear Beastboy and Superboy snore on the other side," She smiled. "And M'gann mumbles in her sleep randomly,"

Audrey smiled. The stress and tension of the days before faded into the back over mind; it felt as if none of it had happened.

Cassie grinned. "So, 'gettin cozy with beastboy?" She asked.

"I dunno, how are you and Robin?"

"That's not fair!" Wondergirl gasped, surprised. "I asked first."

"Anyway, nothing's going on with me and beastboy," Audrey replied. "He's like a little brother. So, you and Tim?

Cassie exhaled in defeat. "I haven't said anything."

"Nothing?" Audrey asked.

"I mean, we talk, but I'm to afraid to ask him on a date or anything," Cassie sighed.

"Why not?" Audrey questioned. "You can tell you two have a thing for each other,"

"Really?!" Cassie remarked excitedly.

" I think so," Audrey smiled. She hopped up on the bed beside Cassie, the two smiling at each other. Nothing like a chickflick marathon all night to bring girls closer.

As they turned on the television, the machine flashed images of police tape. The two watched, their smiles turning to frowns.

"As you can see, an attack on the city is taking place," The news reporter talked. "The three blocks have been evacuated, the forth is currently being evacuated."

The girl looked at each other, a light, apologetic smile on both their faces.

"I guess this means the sleepover will have to wait."


"Down there!" Venus shouted to wonder girl, who flew as she held her. The two flew down, stopping in front of the menaces.

"None other then the terror twins," Wonder girl hissed. "What are you doing here?"

"Just causing terror," Tuppence grinned devilishly. "It's in the name,"

Venus narrowed her brows. Wonder girl had the strength to take them one. What could she do?

"I'll take Tommy," Wonder girl pounded a fist into her palm. "You take tuppence,"

The two split. Wonder girl flew at her opponent, throwing a punch. Venus stayed behind, Tuppence charging at her. It was times like these she was grateful for gymnastics.

"What are you gonna do, firefly?" Tuppence sneered. A punch flew Venus, landing and rolling onto the street. She got back up only to receive another punch from the amazon.

Venus felt powerless as Tuppence threw across the blocks like a sack of flour. How on earth was she suppose to take on an opponent like this?! She was getting creamed. She gritted her teeth, lightly punching the ground where she lay.

She pulled herself off, flame in her hands. She threw one at Tuppence, who merely dodged it with a swipe to the side.

"Is that all, Firefly?" She sneered. "What are you doing on the justice league?"

Venus fumed, her flames getting bigger. She could feel her whole body heat up. She could feel a surge of heat go threw her body; blood boiling and legs tingling.

She growled throwing another fireball; Bigger, stronger.

She stopped, putting her hands together to create a flamethrower. Tuppence blocked it, but could feel the heat on her skin.

Venus walked closer, Her flame intensified. She finally stopped when she could see her opponent down on a knee.

A circle of flame had surrounded them both, like an arena; Fit for a battle of two warriors.

Venus let it grow, until her opponent finally fell as she coughed for oxygen. Heat exhaustion? Maybe.

"V-Venus?" A voice questioned.

Venus spun around, seeing her friend. Her mouth was open a little, but no words came out; she couldn't think of anything to say.

"Your skin...It's yellow," Wondergirl started. "And your hair has become flame," She pointed.

Venus looked down; That pale red had been replaced by a an paler orange red, more intense. Her hair had turn to flame; A long flame that went against and above her back.

She gasped, shocked to see herself. It was more intense then last time, but her body didn't shake. As her anger and adrenaline seemed to snap away, as did her appearance. Her skin turned back bit by bit, and her hair went out, falling back around her face in a mess.

"Venus," Wonder girl mumbled, concerned. She floated to her friend, embracing her the moment she landed. Wonder girl held her, hugging her securly.

"Please..." Venus started to beg. She looked at her own hands.

"Don't tell anyone about this. Not yet," She pleaded. "I... don't know how to control it."

"I won't," Wonder girl whispered. "But promise me; Come to me when you need help,"

Venus looked concerned, but nodded her head.

"C'mon," Wondergirl smiled, pulling her best friend out of the hug. She held her shoulder. "Let's go back to my house. I'm sure the marathon's not over yet."


The two sat on the bed, lights off, watching T.V. Cassie looked to her friend, who's head was in her knees, having not said a word.

"Audrey..." She started, gentle shaking her friend's shoulder.

"I don't know what that was," She started. "I get with tingling feeling; like adrenaline. But, it gets so intense, it makes me feel crazy on the inside."

"That adrenaline, anger fueled feeling? I get that. When I fight, I feel like it make me stronger," She explained. "But it doesn't."

"I know," Audrey said. "My power's get more intense; But I don't even know how it works."

"You'll get it," Cassie smiled. "Your not the kind of person to give up so easily,"

"You think?" Audrey said worriedly.

"Of coarse," Cassie patted her friend's back.

"Please don't tell," Audrey whispered.

Cassie blinked, before hugging her best friend. "Of coarse not," She repeated, grinning.

Audrey smiled weakly, starting to feel reassured

"So, what about you and Tim?"
