"You don't know? Well, decide!" Iza said in a panicked voice.

"B-but I can't just make a decision this quickly, I need time to think!" Becky responded.

"Well, go think then. We'll give you as much time as you need." Rael said. "Now, go in your room and just think. We want you to make the decision that will make you the happiest."

Becky sighed as Rael and Iza shoved her into her room (what she was guessing was last decorated when she was a baby, since that was when she left), closing the door behind her. Becky sat on the armchair sitting in the room, doing as she was told and thinking.

She thought of the pros and cons of staying on Lexicon, and going back to Earth. She thought and thought, and overthought. She thought until she was absolutely tired of thinking.

Becky then stuffed her hands in her pockets as she thought about her dilemma. Staying seemed so...tantalizing...I mean, how can I possibly leave these people again? They need me so much...

Just then, Becky felt something in her pocket. She pulled the lump out to see that it was the clay star she had made to remember Tobey by, and vice versa. Then it all came to her. All the reasons why there was no possible way she could stay on Lexicon forever.

She thought about Tobey. About all the things she loved about him. His smile, his blue eyes, his adorable bowtie. The way he treated her like a princess, and always put her above himself. How he would do anything to see her happy. His great personality.

But then everything else came to her mind; like her family. Her dear, amazing, understanding, compassionate parents, that had taken her in so generously as their own child. The parents that gave her everything she could ever want or need. The ones that loved her no matter what or who she was. The ones she knew loved her. And then there was her brother. He was cynical of her often, sure, but she knew that deep down somewhere he cared about her just as much as a sibling should. She knew that deep down, he didn't care that she was Wordgirl, he loved her anyways.

Then Becky's friends came to mind. Violet and Scoops, how could she ever forget them? Violet was the best friend she could ever hope for, so understanding and caring, and kind. She was there for Becky through thick and thin. Scoops was as well, in his own unusual way. All these people, Becky realized, cared for her so much. They all hated to see her go, and missed her a great deal. They all accepted her for her, no matter who she was.

And she was about to leave all that behind? Abandon all these people who need her? Abandon a boyfriend who loves me, parents who love me, and friends who love me? What was I thinking? They don't need me here, they've been getting along without me for fifteen years. They'll be fine without me now. Earth needs me more, and I it. I've gotta go back as soon as possible.

So Becky explained all of this to her Lexiconian parents.

"...so, you see, I'm needed there a thousand times more than I'm needed here. Sure, it'd be nice to know what my life here would be like, what it could've been like, but the truth is you just don't need me here. You've gotten along without me for fifteen years, so obviously you'll be okay if I leave again. On earth, I'm needed to stop crime, thwart the plans of evildoers, just like you guys used to do in the revolution.

"You know, back on earth, humans believe greatly in destiny; the concept that everybody is born with something they are meant to do, somewhere they're meant to be, and someone they're meant to be with. And for me, all those things are on earth. I'm sorry, I know this hurts, but it's the truth, and I wouldn't have it any other way." Becky explained. Her parents stood in stunned silence.

"B-being completely honest, Becky, we were expecting you to tell us you've decided to stay. We thought that by giving you a look at what you left behind, like all the stuff in your old room, you'd come to your senses. But when we heard your whole speech about why you're going back to Earth, we've realized that you're absolutely right. We've been selfish, trying to keep you here, away from your destiny and your home on Earth. We completely understand your decision, and we respect it." Iza explained. Becky was silent for a moment before a smile spread across her face.

"Thanks, you guys. You have no idea how much this means to me. I'm so relieved that you guys understand. There's just no way I could abandon Earth." Becky said as she hugged her parents tightly.

"Well, we completely understand." Rael said as he looked to his wife with a sad expression on his face.

Tobey was walking downtown on a sunny Saturday afternoon, when suddenly a scream was heard.

"Heeeelp, Dr. Two Brains is robbing the grocery store's cheese aisle!" A man yelled out, seeming quite panicked. "Wait, is this the police station?"

Tobey ran towards the source of the scream to see a man talking to a random passerby on the street.

"No, this is the sidewalk. The police station is four blocks that way." The bystander said, pointing behind himself.

Tobey pulled out his robot remote and ran towards the grocery store.

Once he got there, he saw Dr. Two Brains and his henchmen stuffing all the grocery store's cheese into bags, as well as the grocery store owner standing by them, pestering them about how they were fired, then hired again.

Tobey pressed a button on his remote, which called his robot to the scene.

"Stop right there, Two Brains." Tobey said, approaching the villain.

"Oh, look, it's the robot kid. What, are you here to stop us?" Two Brains scoffed. "Look, kid, I know the whole deal about you taking over for Wordgirl while you're gone. But I don't believe there's a thing you can do to stop me. Why don't you just quit now?"

"Because, I don't believe quitting is in my nature. But I do believe that I will defeat you." Tobey responded.

"Hey, we teamed up once, you used to be evil. What happened, kid? You had potential as a villain." Two Brains said, honestly just saying anything to get Tobey off his back.

"That was a long time ago, Two Brains, and that life is behind me now. I was a stupid kid, but I've learned from that." Tobey said seriously.

As the two were talking, Tobey hid the remote behind his back and pressed the button that commanded the robot to attack. The robot slowly moved its hand in and grabbed Two Brains and his henchmen.

"Hey! That was a slick move, kid, but not clever enough to defeat me!" Two Brains said as he tried to squirm free. Before he had the chance to, another one of Tobey's robots held up a large laser cannon-hand to the three, which immediately stopped their struggles.

"Alright, alright, fine, you got me." Two Brains said. "So, I gotta ask, what's the deal with you and Wordgirl nowadays anyways, she still hate you?"

"No. For your information, she never hated me, she just didn't like me because I destroyed stuff. We're quite happy and dating now." Tobey said. Two Brains attempted a shrug as they were shoved into the paddy wagon.

"Whatever, kid, you're missing out on the potential to be a great villain, like me!" Two Brains yelled as the paddy wagon drove away.

Tobey smiled and folded his arms as he watched the paddy wagon drive away. For his first time, he knew it was a job well done. But he also knew there were many more incidences to come, and he knew many would be far more difficult than this one. He knew Two Brains was merely testing his skill as a hero temp.

He knew his job was just beginning.

Yeah, so, this was more of a…filler chapter, maybe. I guess it was important, kinda. Truthfully, I'm still thinking of where to go from here with the story. I have an ending planned, just…not a middle…hmm…/: well, anyways, review!
