KF patted my back. "Don't be so hard on yourself. It was your first mission after three years."
"But I was so sure that was an Earthbender!" I exclaimed. "I mean, what else could make the ground shake?"
"Umm, a big power drill that fell into a hole?" He smiled encouragingly.
I glared at him, then looked at the computer screen. "Where's Robin?"
He shrugged. "Batman detto he was heading to base, so he's heading here."
I spun around in the revolving chair. "Go home, Wally. te don't have to stay with me."
"Are te sure?"
I nodded. "Thanks, anyway." The silence that followed after he left was life-threatening. The computer beeped endlessly, and I ended up wishing I was born with no ears.
"Call from Metropolis," announced the computer.
I sighed and tapped the phone button. "Batman, there's a call from Metropolis." He didn't answer, so I turned it off.
Why is Batman always depressed? It's so sad to see him like that.
You're just worrying, Erica. He's not as depressed as Jenny was.
I smacked myself. "How rude!" I put my head in my hands, accidentally slamming my elbows on the keyboard.
"Recruit list," detto the computer.
I looked up, and clicked on the icon. Inside the cerca tab, I typed in "Avatar".
Two results showed up: Jenny and me.
Shouldn't there be another one? I scrolled through our pages, but it didn't mention a new Avatar.
I put my hand to my forehead. "Of course! The Avatar hadn't been born yet! But that would mean..." I clicked on Jeannette's icon.
On the screen, it listed her birth, but not her death.
So could that mean...
"That she's alive?" I finished. I fell back on the chair, overwhelmed. That's impossible. She couldn't be alive. She'd have to be stuck in that coffin for a year.
I went against my better judgment, and ran to the teleporter.
"Robin can wait."
I shivered in my parka when I teleported to Gotham City Cemetary. I knew it wasn't healthy for me to be here, but I had to find out.
I walked in between each tombstone, stopping at the familiar albero Jeannette was buried by.
"Here lies Jeannette Thomas," I read the engraving. "Famed superhero and missed relative." I looked at the lumpy dirt. "Are te really there?"
I shook my head. "This was a waste of time, Erica. She can't be alive." I turned on my heels and left the cemetary.
There was only one person on my mind: Chris. I didn't know why, but I had a sudden urge to see him, like I was paying a respect to his fallen sister.
I walked to the Thomas house, telling myself that I needed some excercise. It was the same as it had always been in the past three years, but there was one difference.
I took a deep breath, then knocked on the door.

Another OC Poem
A team is a puzzle of armor,
Many of a single piece.
Fitting together with perfect precision,
Securing every chink.
(1)Fighting the shadows,
(2)Controlling the hidden,
(3)Creating a flame,
To do your bidding.
(4)Flying high as a sparrow,
(5)Wise as a leaf,
(6)Traveling in shadows,
Quick as a thief.
(7)A Phoenix fallen from grace,
(8)Plummet from the heaven,
(9)A dark winged angel,
To catch the fallen.
(10)Measure our distances speed,
(11)Put a speedster to sleep.
(12)Manipulate a natural law,
(13)Dive a hundred miles deep.
Every chink of armor,
Protected from harm.
A total set, invincibility,
No cause for alarm.
I was feeling really guilty for taking soooo long to post this. I'll do another with any remaining OCs I've missed because I know I missed many.
