Anyways, this chapter Shyla is in the works of becoming Black Canary's protégé, and more will be revealed about the creepy Goth dude. So please enjoy this next installment.

Chap. 3 Dayum, I think I just became crippled

"Seriously, I knew I should have taken Green Arrow's advice, screw that, I should have taken his warning!" I said dodging a punch from Black Canary. "Blaze focus!" she scolded. "I am!" Right when I said that she kicked my feet out from under me. "Ow!" "You should concentrate more on the opponent's moves, not on the opponent's conversation." She said helping me up. It's been at least a good three weeks since I've been training with Black Canary, and I've gotten better in hand-to-hand combat. The only downside is that after every session, I end up on my ass. And being her sidekick- I mean protégé has its perks too. She takes me crime fighting with her around town, with permission from Nonna of course and plus a full time membership at the Hall of Justice!

"Dinah, can we take a break, I think I just became crippled." I said rubbing my bruised shoulder. "Fine, take five Shyla." She said picking up her water bottle. "So, what's it like being part of the Justice League?" I ask. "Very eventful." She explained. "And a lot of work." We both look up to see Green Arrow and his ex-protégé, Speedy- I mean Red Arrow. "Hi Ollie! And I can tell, my bruises have bruises." I said. "Well, sorry for interrupting, but The League has a meeting to attend, so I'll leave you here to train with Red Arrow." Green Arrow says walking away with Black Canary. "So, what's up, I'm Blaze, but my real name is Shyla Rose." Silence. Not much of a talker is he? "I can't believe I'm stuck here babysitting a little kid. What are you? Like 15?" He said irritated. "16 and nice to meet you too." I muttered under my breath sadly. "Sorry, Oliver didn't tell me that I was going to be stuck here babysitting. I'm Roy by the way." Roy said apologetically.

"Eh, it's cool. Wanna help me train? At least we won't be bored." "Sure, maybe we should make it more interesting; no holding back, show me your full power." "Sure, but you're gonna regret it." I said in a sing-song voice. We went into another part of the Hall, where the members would use their powers to practice. We got into our fighting positions. "Ready? Go!" Roy said. Red Arrow shot an arrow at me and I swiftly dodged it. See, training sessions come in handy! I generated some fire in my hands and shot it at him; he also dodged and shot another arrow. That caught me off guard and I was plastered to the ground with polyurethane foam. "Man, this is disgustoso! Merda!" I yelled in in Italian while Roy chuckled at my predicament. "You know, I'd never thought that you were Italian, but the profanity proves it." "Ha ha, real funny, idiota." I said throwing some foam at him. "Hey! Watch it!"

There we had an epic foam fight; it was all fun and games until Black Canary walked in. "Oh shit! He/She did it!" We both said pausing. "Both of you clean this mess up right now!" She said screeching. "Yes Ma'am!" We both started to clean the foam infested training area. "You know Roy, even though we met each other like an hour ago, we already have a brother/sister relationship." "Yeah, and I can tell that you're going to be a pain in the ass of a sister, Shyla." "Oh likewise, bro." I said grinning up at him and we spent the rest of that time cleaning the foam from the room.

The next day, Black Canary and I were out patrolling the city. "Blaze, I've been wondering, there is a new team that The Justice League has created they're called Young Justice, and I was wondering if you would like to be part of it?" she said not taking her eyes off of the road. "Would I still be working with you? Who are the members? What kind of team is it?" I questioned. "Occasionally, you'll see, and the team is only meant for recon missions and surveillance missions. Would you still be interested?" "Well, if its missions where I get to kick more asses then I'm in! When do I start?" I said looking up at her in awe.

"Well, I already confirmed it with Batman that you will be part of the team and you'll meet them later today. So I'm going to let you go home and freshen yourself up." If I could have seen my face at that moment I'd taken a picture and put it in a scrapbook; Best summer of MY life! So, when I got home my Grams was waiting for me on the couch. "Bambina, sit down, I have something to discuss with you." She says frowning. "Yeah, Nonna, what's up?" I said plopping down on the couch. "I had a vision about someone that you fought, a few weeks ago. He was a man with black hair and dressed in gothic attire." "Yeah, that's creepy Goth dude. What about him, got any info on him?" I ask intrigued. "Do not interact with him; he is someone willing to kill you. He knows who you are, what you are. And he's willing to stop at nothing to make sure you cease to exist." She says frightened.

"But, who is he? What does he want with me? How do you know him?" I ask exasperated. "I cannot tell you much bambina, I can only tell you this, and his name is Demone." "Devil… Creepy. I promise Nonna, I'll be careful, and besides I sure that The League can help if there's any problem. Alright? And tonight I'm going with Dinah to meet my new team that I'm in. They're called Young Justice. Is that fine by you?" "Si, bambina, promise that you'll call?" "Si Nonna. Now I have to go and freshen up, I'll see you later, or if I'm staying somewhere then I call you, ciao." I said kissing her on her cheek.

I took 40 minutes to freshen up and get ready in my costume to meet the team, I later met Black Canary around 7:30 and we took off. 15 minutes in the ride Black Canary turned into a corner with a phone booth and stopped the engine. "Alright, were here." She said hopping off of her motorcycle. "Ha, are you screwing with me, right?" I said laughing. "No, I'm not; now get out of the motorcycle." I sighed and hopped out of the motorcycle as she walked up to the phone booth. "Alright, you see this; this is what is going to teleport you to the base and back home." She stepped into the booth and disappeared. Holy shit, what just happened? She better have not gotten probed or something! I decided to walk into the booth, holding my breath I closed the door and suddenly I was transported to some cavern-type base.

"See, that wasn't too bad, you big chicken." I see Black Canary chuckling at me. So I glared at her. "Alright, now follow me." From there she leads me to a huge meeting room where there was the protégés of the most famous League members; Aqualad, Robin, Kid Flash, Miss Martian, Artemis, Superboy and Zatanna. As I look around, I see Batman, THE Batman! "Team, this is Black Canary's protégé, Blaze. She will be part of this team as you do recon and etc... So make her feel welcomed." He says walking away with Black Canary and that left me with the team, awkward. "Um, hi everyone I hope to be a great asset to the team." I say shyly and nervously. "Don't worry; you'll be a great asset! I'm Kid Flash by the way." He says smiling, but is pulled away. "Wally, let the girl breathe, hi, I'm Artemis, that's Zatanna, Robin, Superboy, Miss Martian and Aqualad." She says shaking my hand. "Nice to meet you guys." I say smiling at the warmer greeting from Artemis. "We are very excited that you have joined our team Blaze." Aqualad added "And I'm really glad that there is another girl on the team, I baked you some cookies! Follow me!" She said dragging me to the kitchen with her. I've got a feeling that I'm gonna like this team very much.
