There were horns honking at us. For good reason, since we were in the middle of the damn road. Four lanes and we were smack dab in the middle. Rex was pretending to balance on the yellow line. He was laughing as people flipped him off. I was clinging to him, hoping that we didn't get hit.

Rex looked up at the overcast sky. "Isn't it lovely out?"

"Are you crazy?!" I clung tighter when a passing taxi brushed my pants.

"Yeah." He looked back at me.

"I thought you said we were going to Taco Bell!"

"We are! I want some potato wedges and the only Toxic Hell-slash-KFC around is in this direction." He grinned.

"Are you—you can't be serious!" I sputtered.

"Rex!" A gruff voice shouted over the honking cars.

Oh crap, that was Batman. Oh crap, I was walking with a psychotic relative of the Joker's.

I found myself hiding behind Rex though. If the Batman would try to hurt Rex, I wasn't far from his list. I was a freak too.

"Hey, Bats!" Rex greeted him cheerfully.

"What are you doing in the middle of the road?" Batman put a hand on his forehead. He seemed exhausted.

"Walking to Toxic Hell." Rex answered.

"What?" He didn't understand.

"Taco Bell." I squeaked from behind Rex.

Batman slowly looked passed Rex to me as I peaked out from behind Rex's arm.

"Another one?" His eyes got big.

Another one? Another what?

Oh. Another freak like Rex or the Joker or Poison Ivy or Harley Quinn.

My eyes dropped to the ground. I was trying not to cry again, or the awful bloody tears would smear all over my face.

"It's not like I want to be like this!" I whimpered.

"Huh?" Rex turned to me.

I stepped away from them. "I don't!"

My legs went out from under me and I rolled over a taxi as it swerved and stopped in front of Rex and Batman.

I picked myself up and looked at the taxi driver. He was a white guy, looked pissed that I even existed.

I bared my teeth at him. I grabbed the fender and lifted it up to grab the axel, get a better grip on it. Once I had a hold, the man was scrambling out of the car and onto the highway and I flung the car into the air and through a building.

My mouth dropped. I just did that. I just threw a car.

"I give you nine out of ten points." Rex offered his hand for a high-five. "Would have been a ten, but you lacked a sort of performance about it. Almost looked accidental."

"It was." I whispered.

I saw flashing lights, heard sirens. I backed up into Rex and started panicking.

"Easy, Harm," He put his hands on my shoulders. "Why are you freaking out? All you did was throw a car."

"Oh, is that all?!" I yelped. "Normal people don't throw cars!"

"Cool your tits." He laughed. "What is normal, anyway?"

Batman stared at us, helpless. A girl freak flipping her shit and a boy freak giggling at the destruction. What was he to do?

"I want to go home." I started crying in spite of myself. "I wanna go home!"

"Okay, okay." Rex noticed that I was not only serious but I was afraid. "Okay, I'll take you home. Where is your home?"

"I wanna go home!" I cried into his chest.

"Agh, okay!" Rex scooped me up, freaking out just a little. "Um, let's go home? Er, Batsy, I can't play right now. Next time, okay?"

I started babbling about home and my room, and somehow as Rex carried me off, leaving Batman astounded in the middle of the road, I managed to get out my address. Rex picked the lock because I couldn't stop sobbing long enough to point out the key under the rock, and he wandered around my house until he figured out which room was mine.

Rex tucked me into bed and found every stuffed animal he could and piled them around me.

"Ah, um, are you okay now?" He sat down next to the bed.

I felt tired. "I don't wanna…"

"Don't wanna what?"

"I'm scared." I hid behind the plush animals.

"You have nothing to be scared of. Batman is too much of a wuss to try anything." He tried to smile.

"I…" I curled up in a ball. "I want to sleep."

"Okay." He nodded. "Sleep."

"What will you do?" I didn't want him to leave.

"I'll be around." He laid down on the floor. "It's been a while since I've slept. I think I'll take a nap."

"Oh… kay…" I half smiled, though he couldn't see me.

When I woke, it was sunrise or sunset, I didn't know which. There was a bag of Taco Bell on my bedside table and a bag mostly empty on the ground, Rex sitting cross-legged in front of it and eating a loaded potato burrito.

"Brought you some food." He grinned up at me, mouth full.

I laughed. It was all I could do.

"I didn't know what you would want, so I just got like two of everything." He motioned to the bag. "Well, not really everything, but two of everything I like to eat."

"Thanks, Rex." I smiled.

"You're very welcome, Harm."
