Proven part IV
I shut my eyes, enjoying the feel of the wind rushing past me. The whine of the engine filled my ears, vibrating through my whole body. Accompanying it was the steady thud of Alek's cuore beat. I peeked over his shoulder, over the handlebars at the road as it passed underneath us.
I had laughed with surprise when Alek had shown me the motorcycle parked outside the apartments. Streaks of oro intertwined as they cut across the snow white undercoat, glistening in the morning sun. He had handed me a black passenger's half-helmet before putting on his own.
As we traveled through the streets of the awakening city, I rested my cheek on his shoulder, allowing the sense of freedom to wash through me. All too soon, Alek slowed the motorcycle and stopped it in front of Gotham Academy. I sighed as I unclipped my casco and got off the bike. Alek slid up the visor on his casco and smiled at my resentment.
"You could ditch," he said.
"I've already missed a lot," I said.
"We could go scuba diving in the scogliera, barriera corallina around Happy Harbor," he suggested.
"Don't tempt me. And what do te mean 'we'? te have school too." He scrunched his nose and stuck out his tongue, making me giggle.
"Do I have to go?" he whined. I only rolled my eyes.
"You could unisciti Gotham Academy with me." He certainly had the grades for it.
"With uniforms and a bunch of bratty rich kids?" I slugged him in the arm.
"Ow," he said, "get to class, casco hair." I frowned and patted down my hair. My side bangs blew across my face in a gust of wind, and I brushed them back in annoyance.
"Oh," Alek exclaimed, "I almost forgot." He reached into his giacca pocket and handed me a small black object. Right off, I thought it was a large bobby-pin. As I got a closer look though, I recognized the shape of a bat.
"Come here," Alek said, setting the kickstand on the bike. I handed him the pin and, as he fixed my bangs back, I realized he was nearly a head taller than me. Alek stepped back to admire his work. "Perfect," he said.
I reached up to feel the black bat perched near my ear. "Consider it an early birthday present."
"I don't turn 14 for another two weeks," I reminded him.
"Then it's a welcome home gift."
I began to point out to him that I had only been gone for 3 days, but decided not to bring it up. "Thank you," I detto instead.
"You're welcome," he said, getting back on his motocycle, "now get to class." He slipped down his visor, waved to me, and roared down the road toward Gotham North. Another breeze blew throught the air, and I couldn't help smile as my bangs stayed in place.

“Ready to see the inner sanctum?” GA asked
“Born that way. Oh there ain’t no other way, baby I was born this way, I’m on the right track baby I was born this way!”
*enter Hall of Justice*
“Quick debrief to discuss the coincidence of four ice villains attacking on the same day. We shouldn’t be long” Batman said
*computer scans Leaguers*
“That’s it? te promised us a real look inside, not some glorified backstage pass” Roy says angrily
“It’s a first step. You’ve been granted access few other’s get”
“Oh really?! Who cares what side of the glass we’re on?”
“Roy, te just need to be patient-“ Green Arrow starts
“What I need, is respect. R-E-S-P-E-C-T, find out what it means to me. R-E-S-P-E-C-T, take care, TCB! Ohh!”
*Roy struts out*
“Roy is secretly a black woman. That explains so much” Ollie muttered

Here's what I have so far:
Violet, Blaze and Peyton. All fallen villains because of Nudge and the Young Justice team. But when a new powerful villain rises to power, they take their vengeance. A trip to Hell (literally) takes the toll on the Young Justice when someone doesn't come back. But who is it? Trusts are broken, friendships formed, powers come and go, and people dissapear. What will the team become? Will they break apart? o will they bond closer than they've ever been before? Find out in the new story called "Revenge of Abate"
grigio, dun grigio, dun DUN. < My dramatic effect! If te were wondering
Abate: (of something perceived as hostile o negative) Become less intense o widespread.
Cause to become smaller o less intense.
