Cheshire stepped out into the light. Her eyes scanned the team, then focused in on me. “Hola!” I said, trying to lighten the mood. “I don’t believe we’ve met.” She coolly said. She was lying. From what I remember, before she ran away from home, Shane and her would go to the park and play together. “The name’s Vision.” I smiled. “Cheshire.” She replied, even though I didn’t ask her. “Nice to meet you.” I added. I looked over at the team triumphantly. Their faces were priceless. They all had astounded looks. “Get to know your enemy.” I smiled.
Even though Cheshire didn’t seem all that bad, the team called her a villain. I decided to read her. What she was thinking about surprised me. It was guilt. Pure guilt for what she was supposed to be doing. Then, as quick as it came, there was a sudden change in thought and feeling right then. She was going to pounce. At Miss Martian first, because she was the most powerful; then Superboy; suivant was Kid Flash, Robin, Artemis, then me. I had a divisé, split seconde to shout, “Miss Martian! Watch out!” Cheshire lunged herself at her right as I a dit it. Luckily Miss Martian just barely dogged her. I kept my eyes focused on Cheshire’s, since that was the only way I could read people. But soon enough, Cheshire tripped Miss M. It seemed like she hit her head ou something, because she went out cold. Superboy ran over to Miss Martian to take care of her. Cheshire didn’t seem to mind, she just went on to the next. But without warning, when she walked par Superboy, she slipped something into his shirt, and he collapsed. “Kid Flash!” I warned. “Shut. Up!” Cheshire hissed, and threw a dagger at me. I easily caught the handle as it went past me. “Gotta try harder than that!” I encouraged. “Shut up!” Cheshire snapped again. She ran toward me, then kicked at my head. I smartly dogged it.
All of a sudden, in the middle of the fight, my pocket started to vibrate. “Not now!” I whined. I tried to coup de poing Cheshire, she grabbed my arm and twisted it around so that it was behind me. With my other hand, instead of trying to get free, I took my phone out of my pocket and answered it. “Hey mom!” I said, trying to block out the sounds in the background. “DO toi HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT TIME IT IS?” She shouted into it. I bit Cheshire’s arm and she let go. “Um, no?” I answered. “WHERE ARE YOU?” She snapped. Cheshire tried to coup de poing my face, I dogged out of the way. “Yeah, I’m with Artemis. Do toi think I *kick* could sleep over?” I cleverly answered. I heard Mom sigh, then think for a while. “Do toi need clothes? Because I can-“ “No!” I inturupted, “Art *dodge* a dit I could borrow hers!” “Ok,” She a dit reluctantly, “Be careful, and I will see toi tomorrow. l’amour you.” I dodged another kick, and punched back. “Ok, l’amour you, bye!” I a dit quickly and hung up the phone. This fight wasn’t very productive so far. “Enough!” Artemis was standing, bow in hand and ready. As if on command, Cheshire and I both stopped. “Leave. Go. Now.” Artemis demanding. Of course, she was staring in my direction, so I started to walk away. “Not you!” She groaned. Cheshire threw some sort of smoke pellet, and smiled as she slowly backed into it. Fading away with every step. “Nice meeting you.” She a dit eerily before she disappeared.
“Creapy.” I smiled. Artemis just frowned. I gave her a look that seemed to say, “All is forgiven.” And a smile started to form on the edge of her lips. Kid Flash sped up to Artemis and I from where he was just waking up Superboy and Miss Martian. “Kryptonite.” He a dit grimly. He tossed up a glowing-type rock and caught it. Then put it in a container. Slowly, he put his arm around me nonchalantly and said, “You know, toi have a very interesting battle strategy.” I smiled, “But it’s effective.” Artemis was staring at us in disbelief. “Ew! Wally, that’s my best friend! Isn’t that supposed to be the one thing that is prohibited?” She shouted. Robin laughed while playing with one of his little gadgets. “Wait, this is the Wally?” I pointed toward Kid Flash. “This is the guy-“ I blurted out, then stopped myself. Kid Flash lifted his arm off me. “You talk about me?” He a dit timidly. “No! It’s just-“ Art was stumbling ou words. I stepped in and said, “Yeah! And she talks about the rest of the team too! Just with you, she says how annoying toi are. But toi didn’t rub me that way, so that’s why I asked her.” I quickly saved. Artemis gave me a thankful look and I smiled back.
