The door to the terminal opened slowly, as Megan landed the bioship in the big landing unit.
We all got out of the ship and headed to the Mission Room, where Erica sat at the computer, staring at nothing.
"Guys!" She greeted, hugging Robin, then looking at me. "That was fast!"
I showed her my scroll. "She didn't have time to teach me." I didn't miss her quick frown before she looked at it.
She smiled, then gave it back to me. "You have to practice this everyday, starting tomorrow."
KF looked at the mur clock. "I have to get to school!" he flashed out of the mountain and headed for his school.
Aqualad looked at me intently. "Do toi go to school, Jeannette?"
"In fifth grade, they thought I was too smart so they sent me to high school early. Now that I'm done, I'm planning to go to college."
Superboy groaned. "Lucky, I just started!"
Erica didn't miss our "Central Park Zoo" t-shirts we had bought in New York.
"Umm, guys, can I talk to Erica for a bit?"
They nodded, then went into the lounge.
Erica smiled warmly. "What do toi want to talk about?"
I took a deep breath. "Are you...mad, that I got your powers?"
"No, not all." Her smile was twitching.
"Well, Robin is!" I told her about Robin's rant two days ago, and all she did was stare at her feet.
"Well," she a dit finally, "I'm not MAD, Jenny. I'm just...what's the word? Sad, that I don't have my powers anymore." She put her hand on my shoulder. "But that shouldn't stop toi from learning. I mean, every Avatar is bound to die sometime."
"I guess you're right," I admitted sadly.
She typed something into the computer. "You're off today."
"Why?" I asked.
"Batman scheduled a doctor's appointment for toi at étoile, star Labs. Since toi have very rare blood, he wants a doctor to give toi a very special Tetanus shot."
Ew, shots. Not my thing. "Doesn't Superman's doctor work at étoile, star Labs?"
She nodded. "Your blood if so special that even Superman's doctor had to take a look at it."
"Am I going right now?" I asked.
"Yep. I already set the bioship coordinates for étoile, star Labs, so toi don't have to drive."
"Thanks, Erica." I went to my room in the lounge and got into a new outfit, then headed for the bioship.
I didn't know why I was so nervous: It was the shot, ou the fact that I had to drive the bioship par myself.

Revenge watched. The Shadow placed something in the drawer and began to close it.
Revenge jumped down and kicked him in the face. The shadow fell to the ground. Revenge pinned him before opening the drawer. The body was disintegrated, an acid ate through the flesh, muscles, bones, everything. Revenge collected a sample before he saw the grenade.
It was a timed grenade. And the timer indicated ten secondes before detonation.
"Shit!"

"I don't wanna die!" the boy howled, digging his face into Revenge's knee.
"You have no say in the matter."
"I do." Revenge growled.
The assassin turned his head slightly before tossing a couteau in Revenge's direction. It caught him in the chink in his armor. Literally. Revenge glared at the blood seeping from the wound. The black clad assassin continued his approach. Revenge punched him in the throat, crushing his windpipe, causing the man to stumble backwards.
"You wanna play with knives?" Revenge yelled. "Two can play at that game!"
For a second, the assassin couldn't breathe. Then, he stood up, rubbing his neck.
"No way." Revenge muttered, stepping back.
"Red Revenge. For interfering with the mission, toi too shall feel the talons of the Court of Owls!"
Night of the Owls.
Coming Soon.

Dozens of reporters swarmed around the billionaire from New York, but he calmly walked past them all and into the limousine. A bodyguard turned around.
"Mr. Grant has no statement to make." he a dit in a heavy accent, and got into the car with the billionaire before it drove off.
"Target moving north."
"Nightwing?"
"What?"
"Did toi hear that?"
"Yeah. I told toi the target was moving north."
"It sounded like a girl a dit it."
"Do I sound like a girl to you?"
"No."
"Then keep an eye on the target, Batgirl. Nightwing out."

For a moment, Revenge was pressed against her in the narrow hallway in complete darkness. Then, there was a light, from Revenge's mask, and the hallway was lit in a dim red light.
"Ladies first." Revenge said.
"Scared?" Batgirl asked.
"Funny." Revenge said. "I'll take point."
Barbara cut him off. "I'LL take point." she said.
"I've got the light." Revenge said. "And the armor, and the brains."
"Har har, funny."
"Indeed. Watch my back."
"From the scary dark?" Batgirl asked in a mocking voice.
Revenge turned and tossed a dagger into the darkness behind them. It went farther than the three feet of the iron door through which they had entered.
"Any plus smart remarks?"

"Har har, funny."
