Alexander was all smiles,loving the scene around him;it was all colourful and pretty. And warm,too. When they got outside,a man in black and blue greeted them. He hid behind Gear's leg,scared of this imposing man. When he lifted Gear up by the throat,Alexander was terrified,and stuttered out, "P-please let her g-g-go,mister! She done n-nothing wrong!"

“Scarlett"
Talon repeated the name again, brushing the loose strands of hair away from her friend’s mask-covered face. Although her friend wasn’t dead, if her breathing said anything, she wasn’t waking up anytime soon.
The situation took a wrong turn when dark clouds quickly drew over the sky, storms heard in the distance. The wind started picking up in strong gusts and Talon covered Scarlett, looking up at the sky, then back at the building. Sliding her arms underneath her friend, she hitched her up into her arms and lost her breath with the pressure. The wind was getting stronger by the second, even managing to tear a few feathers from the new wings.
With a crack of metal, she turned towards the building and froze up.
A mere mile away from her, back towards the facility, a huge funnel cloud had just touched down and swirled violently. She swallowed as she heard more metal rip from the base and the wind stopped pushing at her in every direction;
It pulled.
Her feet scraped against the gravel as she tried to zero in on her own weight, instead only getting Scarlett’s.
A hundred fifteen, which doubled before Talon got yanked from underneath her and the two-thirty pounds dropped. She had managed to hold onto her though, keeping herself anchored to the ground as she slowly kept increasing her already doubled weight. The tornado was strong though, and she felt her hands slipping from the death hold as she, herself, was pulled into the storm.

[[Thanks guys, I knocked her out for nothing... so I'ma wake her up miraculously or whateves >BC]]
Maybe it was the strong wind pressure, or the feathers being torn out of her wings and her hair whipping her in the face. Maybe her body had just gone into shock at first and had now recovered enough for her to regain consciousness. Scarlett didn't have a clue, in fact she was completely out of it upon first waking up, but she somehow managed to pull out of it and her eyes slowly fluttered open.
Disoriented is what she was and she tried to shield her eyes from the wind with her hand, only to find that her entire arm was heavier than normal and she could hardly even move it and couldn't even get it to her face. Her entire torso hurt, but the pain was focused in her stomach and radiated out from there. She was on the ground, she'd established that at least, and the wind was abnormally strong.
It took her a minute to realize what had happened. Superboy had knocked her out. It was a little upsetting, after all, she'd been trying to help him. But he'd seemed upset, she was almost completely sure he had a good reason for knocking her out. He was still, basically, a stranger to her though so she couldn't be one-hundred percent. Maybe he'd put on a show for everyone, including her, it'd seemed like he'd been ready to heat vision her after all.
She felt something tugging at her arm in the wind and tilted her head slightly to see Talon clinging to her to keep from blowing away. That was right, Talon could make people heavier and lighter. It looked like she'd accidentally made herself a little too light. Even breathing hurt, and she could hardly move her arm. She'd given up on getting up before even trying.
She could see the tornado coming and started to piece things together. That's where the wind was coming from. That's why Talon was about to fly away. She must not have made herself lighter, but made Scarlett heavier, which explained why it was tough for her to move.
Where she could see, she didn't see Superboy, then suddenly remembered what he'd told her. She had to go help him! Of course, with a tornado heading her way and her body weighing too much to lift, she couldn't just run off to help him. It seemed like she was getting heavier and that she wasn't going to move from her spot, and as long as Talon held on she would be okay too. Maybe they could just sit through this.
Talon was slipping though, and with all of her strength, Scarlett managed to lift a hand and take hold of her friend, gripping as tightly as she could to keep her from blowing away. She was still a little out of it and she could hardly move, but she did what she could to help Talon.
Maybe if she knew how to use her powers she could help more, but for now holding onto Talon's arm was all she could do. And when she couldn't hold her arm up any longer, it fell back to the ground, taking Talon with it. Dragging her a few inches closer to the earth.

Superman, with info in hand, took off from the international super station and rocketed towards earth. Flying down towards the south pole, Superman landed in a fiery splash. Leaping towards the giant ice tower, he soon searched for his target. As he arrived inside the tower, he found that is was vacant.
"Geoforce, are you here?" Superman asked.
"Im out here. Im trying to pinpoint this problem." Geoforce replied.
"what you mean? Are you not the one that did this?" Superman asked.
"Oh no. I do not have this much power." Geoforce said as he opened his eyes and looked towards superman.
"What do you mean? You are the only one with this power and Lex does not have anything in his arsenal for this." Superman replied.
"I have this earth manipulation, but i do not have the power or stupidity to do this. But since you are here, you assumed that it was me that did this?" Geoforce said as he awaited a response.
Crossing his arms, Geoforce looked at superman with disappointment. Shrugging, Superman reached his hand up to his ear, and proceeded to speak with batman.
"Its not him. I know, but we can see if he can realign this planet or not." Superman spoke to batman.
"I can fix this, but you will need to find the culprit. They are still out there and might do this again." Geoforce replied as he sat down.
Focusing all his power upon the earth, Geoforce started to move the earth. It was nowhere near as fast as when Talon did it, but it gradually moved.

A hand encased Talon’s forearm before she was out of reach, and she cracked her eyes open, surprised when she saw Scarlett looking at her. With a slight twist of her wrist, Talon managed to grab onto her forearm as well, and struggled to pull herself towards her.
The arm wasn’t held up much longer, due to weight, and Talon dropped with it, trying to speak to her friend as the tornado kept approaching.
“Are you okay!?” she noted, not sure what else to say;
The wind had died down a little and she fell back onto Scarlett.
“The eye of the storm” Talon commented
“Sorry, you’re a little too heavy” she noticed Scarlett’s number was in the 400’s.
Focusing back on her friend’s weight, the storm picked up again and she screamed, accidently losing control of her weight. They were both picked up by the storm but Talon kept her grip on her friends wrist as they were tossed around.

Talon asked if she was okay but Scarlett didn't answer. She had planned to, but the next thing she knew the wind died down and Talon was saying it was the eye of the storm. "Too heavy..." she spoke up when Talon told her she was heavy, as if she couldn't tell. And just as it seemed Talon was about to make her lighter so that she could move, the eye of the storm passed them.
And as they were sucked into the tornado, all Scarlett could manage to do was hold onto Talon. At least she could easily move her body now. Unfortunately now she was at the mercy of the tornado with Talon. Except she did have wind powers, if she could only figure out how to use them. She had at least figured it out a little bit, but she'd never been able to do anything that could even come close to stopping a tornado.
Still, she thought she'd try, otherwise they would be blown around, or flung from the tornado, helpless. Maybe into a building or something. Unpleasant. That's what it would be. She tried to flap her little, red wings but the wind was too strong and even though she could manipulate some of it, it was so little that it was almost like she wasn't doing anything at all. For a second the wind slowed, Scarlett getting a little lucky, but the next second the wind picked up again.
She was starting to loose her grip on Talon's arm and just as she thought they were about to be separated, she felt someone grab onto her and she was pulled out of the tornado. She looked over and saw that Talon was there as well and looked up at their heroine. And when asked if she was alright she gave a hesitant nod. She was about as alright as she could be after being punched by Superboy and thrown around by a tornado.
"I'm okay." She answered verbally "Who are you?" She had long, dark hair and a black outfit with a white and yellow lightning bolt on it. She'd never seen her before in her life, then again she really didn't spend much time reading about superheroes or anything.

In the throes of the tornado, Talon couldn’t tell which direction they were going or where the ground even was. All she could see were a pair of tiny red wings, beating against the current as they tried to make their own. Shooting an incredulous look at Scarlett, which probably went unnoticed, she had no idea what her friend was trying to do.
The wind had slowed down for a few moments in between the vigorous flaps, and she realized the brunette was doing something. The air current movement probably had something to do with her powers, as wings weren’t the only think she was gifted with.
After a few moments, the wind picked up again and Talon surmised that her friend was losing the battle, and grip. Before they completely let go of each other someone had saved them, pulling them out of the wind vice.
Glancing at the super after a confirming nod, she tried to place her against any of the superheroes she knew from comic books. Meanwhile, Scarlett seemed to be asking her the same thing; but the woman had set them down and was already taking off.
The tornado they were just thrown around in was drawing back into the cloud, and Talon looked in between it and the super hero.
“Did you do that!?” she questioned,
Not even sure of her own powers just yet.

Scarlett didn't get an answer to her question. Her an Talon were set back down and the heroine gave them some parting words of wisdom and flew away. She looked over at Talon as she shouted after the super clad in black, but it didn't seem like she was going to answer any of their questions and Scarlett started walking. She winced lightly and a hand found her stomach, touching it gently where she'd been punched.
It hurt, but Superboy clearly needed help and she wasn't going to let him down. "Talon," she had followed Scarlett's lead already and had obviously been willing to help Superboy before so Scarlett wanted her help in finding and saving him. She halted for a moment and turned to look at Talon "Come on, we have to help him." It should have been obvious who she was talking about, she'd been helping Superboy, she'd run off after him, now she was intent on locating him and bringing him back.
"FREEZE!"
Scarlett didn't quite freeze. She flinched at the voice, then turned her head to see who it was. Heroes. At least she recognized these ones. Green Arrow. And... Little Green Arrow? Two archers, the elder of the two clad completely in green, clearly the Green Arrow. The younger had red in his outfit, he must have been Green Arrow's sidekick. Speedy.
One was standing on each side of Scarlett and Talon "Time to get back to the base, you two."
The brunette [[lol Kagu, look what you done!]] turned towards the Green Arrow, who was talking and also in charge here. He was quick to take aim at her, but she instinctively raised her hands in the air so that he wouldn't arrow her. "But Superboy is--" she tried to explain what was going on, but she was cut off.
"We'll take care of it." He thought he knew what she was about to say, that 'Superboy' had run off. And they couldn't let a little Superman run around causing havoc so, like he'd told the new super, the League would take care of it. They also couldn't have two new supers running off after him, chances were they would get themselves hurt.
Well, who was Scarlett to tell the Justice League how so save someone? Green Arrow lowered his weapon and Scarlett, in turn, lowered her hands back to her sides. "Can I help?" she asked, if there was anything she could do to help them find Superboy she would do it. She knew he wanted her help and she wanted to give it to him.
"You can help by staying out of trouble and learning to control your abilities."
It was disappointing to hear but even if she didn't want to, Scarlett knew that she needed to listen. And if her behaving would reduce the time spent keeping an eye on her and increase the time spent finding Superboy then she would cooperate, at least she would try.
Speedy lowered his bow as well, it didn't seem like these two were going to be much trouble, they were just worried about their friend. But just in case, he had his weapon at the ready. The red-winged super seemed to have given up and Green Arrow nodded at him to lead the way back. "This way." They knew the way back, but Speedy and Green Arrow couldn't trust them to go back all on their own. After all, they'd already run off once.
Scarlett glanced over at Talon, feeling a little defeated and still suffering from Superboy's punch to her stomach. Once Speedy began to walk, she hesitantly followed behind, Green Arrow staying behind both her and Talon to keep an eye on them so they wouldn't be able to run off.

The woman flew away without an answer, and Talon felt let down; at least the tornado that had beaten them up was gone. Superboy was too, and Scarlett seemed put down by it, guarding her belly as if her next of kin was in it.
“Talon”
The green-eyed girl looked up at her comrade, who had halted and she willed her to go on,
"Come on, we have to help him."
Nodding, she was about to follow after Scarlett before a gruff command froze her in place, unknowingly listening. Green arrow and a miniature green arrow surrounded them; aiming their bows in their faces and trying to get them back to base. Talon held her hands up and let Scarlett do all the talking as she was more of the main lead, with herself being a sidekick.
“You can help by staying out of trouble and learning to control your abilities”
At Green arrow’s final comment, she dropped her arms and nodded; there was still a lot she couldn’t do with her powers. So she followed the two willingly back to the base, sandwiched in between the heroes with the brunette. [[For a second time! 8D]]
“Does it still hurt?” Talon questioned upon realizing Scarlett was holding her belly again,
Conversation was a must if she planned to keep her in line. Although the wind-user had grown close to her, she knew they couldn’t go against the Justice League. So, just for now, she would keep her friend from running off and the best way to do that was distract her.
They made it back to the base in one piece, entering through the hole that Superboy made on his swift exit out. The roof was gone, and so were the leaves, but the scientists remained a little frazzled and worse for wear. Silently cursing their luck, and the tornado, she looked at Scarlett.

They made it back to the base in one piece, entering through the hole that Superboy made on his swift exit out. The roof was gone, and so were the leaves, but the scientists remained a little frazzled and worse for wear. Silently cursing their luck, and the tornado, she looked at Scarlett.

Scarlett wasn't quite as willing to follow the two archers back to the base as her friend was, but she complied. Running away would only get her shot by Green Arrow or his sidekick, something that didn't sound fun. And if anything, she wanted to be on the League's good side. She wasn't a villain, and she didn't want them watching her like a hawk to make sure she followed directions. She didn't really want to follow directions, they hadn't let her do anything she wanted since she'd arrived, but for now she'd suffer through it.
Hopefully once she proved she could be trusted, they would let her do what she wanted more. It helped that both Green Arrow and Speedy had been ready to shoot her just moments ago. Incentive. Scarlett had it.
She nodded at Talon, but offered no verbal response. Whatever. It didn't matter. She'd survived, she was walking. Maybe there was some internal damage she'd taken from Superboy, but for being unconscious a few moments ago, she was feeling pretty good.
Once they were back inside the base, they were quickly intercepted, more like swarmed, by the soldiers and scientists. Well they'd caused some trouble, it wasn't that surprising. Scarlett didn't bother fighting them when they grabbed her, and she let them lead her out of the training area, keeping silent the entire time.

[[Hey guys! We're gonna skip ahead three weeks to move the plot along a little. The new supers that went to the base will be getting the hang of their powers and working with their mentors and whatnot. So finish your shit >BU]]

Nightwing looked at Gear with a more intrigued look. Reaching his hand up to his ear, he started to speak.
"A villain who does not want to fight? She seems to be clean, but will not know any more till we bring her in." Nightwing spoke out but not to the kids.
Nodding his head in according to what was spoke out to him, Nightwing put his weapons away and looked at the two kids.
"All right you two. How about you join us and we discuss this a little bit more in depth back at my place?" Nightwing said as he awaited the kids.

As the planet was realigned, Geoforce fell down, out of breath.
"That was crazy. Who ever did this, must be out of their mind. You need to go find them before they wreck anything else." Geoforce said in between breaths.
"Will do. Thank you for everything." Superman relied to Geoforce.
Reaching his hand out towards superman, He took in one more breath.
"Will you do something for me?" Geoforce asked.
Superman nodded in respect of this hero.
"What can i get for you?" Superman replied.
"Let me teach who ever has this power." Brion asked.
"If i can find them, we will see if they are even on our side." Superman replied as he took off from the antarctic fortress.

In the secret underground training facility of the Luthor corporation building, Alex fought dozens upon dozens of Metallo's machines.
"He is doing phenomenally well for being around so much kryptonite, would you say Metallo?" Lex asked as he watched from behind the safety cage.
"Yes Lex. You could say he does not even have the weakness that superman has. It is like he is human in that fact." Metallo replied as he looked on with some curiousness.
Rubbing his chin with a masterful plan in mind, Lex reached over and pressed a button.
"I wonder what his weakness is then? We need to have this planned out so Superman does not ruin this plan." Lex replied as 6 different doors opened up around the training room.

"You sir, are a nut case." Gear said a bit annoyed, looking down at Alexander before sighing, there was no way after a delay like this she was getting the kid out without soldiers noticing. "Fine. We'll go with you." Her composure was defiantly back at that point. "You don't have a problem with that, do you?" She crouched down looking the kid in the eyes, trying to see what he thought of it all.

Laughing at Gear's response, Nightwing brought his hand back up to his ear.
"Bruce, you can send it down now." Nightwing said as he nodded from the response.
As he brought his hand down from his ear, a loud whistle could be heard from off in the distance.
"get ready you two. We are about to embark on a journey." Nightwing said as he turned towards the whistle.

It took only a moment for soldiers and scientists to surround the two and they were separated, Scarlett being pulled into another room. The scientists were huddled into a talking group, one chatting on the phone after every few seconds. Talon had no idea what they were arranging for her, but decided to trust them for once in training her. The soldiers had loosened their grips on their weapons, but not for long it seemed.
A busty lady sank in through the ceiling, and at the last moment, lightning came alive in her eyes and she hit the floor. The floor quaked with the landing, and all the guns shifted towards her, as well as Talon’s green eyes. An eyebrow quirked at the girls’ size before another woman landed next to her, much bulkier and taller than her.
“Finally” she heard one of the scientists mutter, and the soldiers put down their guns.
“You called?” the much shorter of the two asked,
Blonde hair surrounded her darker features, brown eyes judging her from a far. She was clad in spandex, a blue cheetah print jacket paired with a red and purple inner suit.
“ Thunder ” one of the scientists greeted,
Thunder, as they referred to her, approached the group, the bulkier red-head following.
“And I see you brought Grace”
Green-arrow spoke this time, referring to the woman trailing Thunder; she smiled slyly,
“Oliver” she returned.
“Is this the one?” Thunder asked, interrupting the two and waving Grace off;
“Yeah” One of the scientists answered for Talon, who was too confused to care.
It took a moment, but suddenly the two were left alone, everyone else being dragged off somewhere; Green Arrow and Grace talking on their way out. Thunder gripped at her hair, and Talon was surprised when the wig came off, revealing messy brown hair.
“Anissa Pierce” she introduced, outstretching her hand;
Pulling off her mask, Talon shook her hand
“Talon Medato…” she responded.
After a moment of silence, she finally asked her what had been bothering her this whole time;
“How’d you make the ground shake like that?”
“The same way you can” she responded, pulling back on the wig.
Surprise marred Talon’s features as she stared,
“Although I don’t have the same power as you, it’s close…” Anissa continued
“You’ll be able to do it too after I’m done with you” she finished.
Talon didn’t understand, pulling on her mask when Thunder motioned for her to do so, then taking a few steps back.
“Now, are you ready to rumble?” She asked,
“Huh?” was all the red-head got out before she charged.

Alexander was scared of Nightwing. He looked around Gear to him,and looked back at Gear,and raised the question she probably knew he was thinking, "Do we have to?" He whispered into Gear's ear, "He scares me..."

Gear smiled softly, "Yes, darling. We have to."
