Roman: Hey people! I got my First reviewer! Thank you so much YJ-Lover for the encouragement! And Merry Christmas to everyone! Well here's the new chapter! I only own Shyla Rose and any other OC to follow; unfortunately I do not own Young Justice.
Chap. 2 What! You can't do that!
I reached home around 12:15, just as I walked into the kitchen the lights flicked on. "Do you have any idea what time it is?" Grams says looking pretty pissed. "Um, 10:30?" I say. "Not even close, what were you thinking! You could have been kidnapped!" "But I'm here aren't I? I can take care of myself!" "Don't you raise your voice to me bambina!" "I'm not! You're the one raising your voice! You really think that I'm off at night doing the stuff that they did? Get real!" I screamed in my Bronx accent. Suddenly a hand connected with the left side of my face, I look up at my grandmother. "Go to your room. I don't want to see you for the rest of the night. And I forbid you to go out at night dressed at Blaze." She instructed. "You can't do that!" I cried. "I just did, now go." From the corner of my eye, I can see a tear slide down Grams' face.
I went up to my room crying and never came back down for the rest of the night. The next morning I took a shower, brushed my teeth and got ready for the day in black capris dance pants with a fiery red shirt. I brushed out my slightly wavy red hair with black tips and made my way downstairs. When I reached downstairs, I found my grandmother on the couch. "Hey, Nonna, about earlier, I was out of hand and I'm really sorry about what I said." "I should be apologizing miele, I was out of hand. Come here." I came to sit next to her on the couch. "I'm going to tell you more about your parents because you are old enough to know more about them." She said.
"Your parents were scientists working at Cadmus Labs down in Washington, DC. While your mother was pregnant with you, she and your father were experimenting with, what 'supposedly' was Phoenix DNA. Somehow your mother spilled some of the DNA on her stomach with you in it. It burned her and went straight through her skin. Your father treated her and everything went to normal. But what they didn't know was that the DNA was passed on to you. When you were born, everything was normal, until you tuned 8, you discovered your powers."
"Wait, you knew about my powers, even before I told you about them? Merda!" I said stunned. "Language. And yes precisely." She explained. "How come I don't recall anything?" "You passed out the first time you used your powers. As I was saying." When you tuned 10, you were caught by your father and mother, and they wanted to experiment on you, so one way to do that was to knock you out. But with the beatings you just flamed out and torched everything."
"Shi-I mean shoot. How do you know all this, Nonna?" I questioned. "Well, I didn't want to say this, but, I was a super heroine just like you are now." She said chuckling. "Really, that's bull; you're just screwing with me, right. Right?" "I'm afraid not, I was the super heroine Angelo." I think I just died a little inside. "I-I whaa? Seriously, like for real? This week just keeps getting better and better!" "What do mean by that?" "Last night I met Black Canary!" "Ah, I haven't seen her in a long time." She said.
"Wow, my life has just gotten at least 50 times cooler! But, hey, I wanted to ask you, why did you move us from NY?" I asked. "All in due time bambina, all in due time." "Alrighty then, can I go to the mall? I really want to look around the city." I said jumping up. "Fine," I started up the stairs just as she said "And I already know that you're going to take your costume with you, so it's fine by me, as long as you're safe." Dang, she's good. "Wait, that means that you just revoked my grounding! Oh Happy Days are back!" I said running up the stairs and shoving my costume into my backpack.
It took me 15 minutes to get to the mall by bus, not bad by my standards. I started to look around at the stores, Forever 21, D-tox, Limite and more (some stores that we have in Quebec.) After walking around the mall, I stopped for a bite to eat. Just as I was about to eat, an explosion caught me off guard. Tons of screaming people ran by, so I went to a nearby closed off corner to change into my costume. I start sneaking around in the shadows, and there I see a man with jet black hair and gothic clothing. Whoa, looks like this guy just came from a cult ceremony. "Come out child, I can sense you." He said in a deep voice. Seriously, I got to be stealthier!
"Who are you? And why are you terrorizing people?" I said trying not to show any fear to the gothic man. He just stared at me, so I went in for a fireball attack. He quickly disappeared and reappeared behind me. "Predictable attacks. Very weak." He then knocked to side like I was a fly. But just soon as I got up, an arrow flew by and exploded. "Merda!" I swore. I looked up to see Green Arrow and Black Canary fighting the Goth, but failing miserably. I decided to help them out by creating a circle of fire around the man. "Hm, you still have some fight left in you, until we meet again, child." He says as he disperses into black mist. "Well, that was weird." Green Arrow said sheathing his arrow back into its quiver.
"Big time, he just appeared and disappeared." I said. "And who might you be?" He said looking me cautiously as I took my backpack and followed them to the mall's roof. "Her name is Blaze. I met her the other night, Blaze, can you tone down the fire." Black Canary asked. "Sure." I calmed down the fire and they dispersed slowly. "Cool trick." Green Arrow said in surprise. "Born Pyro. So, Black Canary, are you gonna take me up on my offer, cuz I'm really getting tired of slamming into walls here." I said rubbing my neck in pain. "Alright, just because I feel your pain." She said smiling at you. "Yes! Best week EVER!" "Don't count on it kiddo, training with Canary is gonna be hell to work with. But, you didn't hear it from me." He says jokingly.
We started laughing, but the glare that was radiating off of Black Canary silenced us. "Ahem, well if you ladies will excuse me I have to report back to the Hall of Justice about this incident." With that Green Arrow left us alone. "So, I gotta ask you a question before we start. You know my grandmother, Florence Blanco. The Angelo, right?" I whispered the last part. "Yes, I never knew that she had a granddaughter, but I guess here we are." She replied. "Alright then, what's step one to becoming your protégé?" I looked up to her smiling. "Concentration and focus." "Alright, that doesn't seem too difficult." I should have taken Green Arrow's advice.
Roman: Looks like there's a new villain out! Very creepy sounding dude! And I'm not really sure if I portrayed Green Arrow's character very well cuz I know that he has good humor, so I wanted to do something like that, oh well at least I tried. The whole time I was writing I was listening to Roman in Moscow by Nicki Minaj, that's how I got the argument part of the story down. Anyways, please review and gimme any hints or suggestions, they would be greatly appreciated!
