“Where have you been the past hour?” Cassandra asked Julia, “You said that you were going to play basketball with my friends and me.”

“I’m sorry Cassie.” Julia said, “Something came up, I tried to get done as fast as I could but I wasn’t fast enough. I know that you’re mad at me, and I’m sorry. I will do better next time.”

“Yeah, right. That’s what you say every time. I’m sure that you mean well, but you always have to rush off somewhere to do something-or-other for your friends. But what about your sister?”

“I know, Cassie. And believe me; I hate it when these things happen. And I know that they’ve been happening a lot lately. Please, give me another chance?”

“I’ve been doing that for weeks now. Jesus said to forgive your neighbor seventy times seven times, so I still forgive you. But…I don’t know. What have you been doing lately that keeps you away?”

“I’ve told you, my friends have needed help with stuff every once in a while and so I help them.”

“You just don’t know how to say no, do you?”

Julia sighed, “You’re right, Cassie. It’s something that I need to get better at, saying no to things. And I promise to try; not that my promises mean anything to you anymore.”

“Well, you can try to make up for it. I look forward to seeing that.”

“GIRLS!” Their Mom called, “Dinner!”

“Coming!” they said together and they both went downstairs to the kitchen.

“How about I start a little bit after dinner. We can go get coffee and hang out, ok?” Julia said.

“All right.”

“What do you want me to do?”

“Have you met some of the Titans?” Leo asked over the radio.

“Yes.”

“Good, now, are there any that trust you?”

“Yes, quite a few, actually.”

“Good. Now, I want you to bring one of them to our regular meeting place. Then we’ll be able to kill him or her, and soon others will come looking for that lost Titan. Since they’ve learned to trust you, you can lead them here without any suspicion. We’ll have killed a lot of Teen Titans before they figure out what‘s going on!”

“I can’t wait!”

“Oh, and have you found out anything about the C.F.M.C?”

“No, I’ve tried, but it’s blocked in the computer that I’ve hacked into and I haven’t heard anyone say anything about it.”

“Oh well. Killing off a bunch of the Teen Titans will make up for that, I suppose.”

Julia walked through one of her favorite stores. She’d been walking around the town of Woodsville for about an hour, going into stores and running errands. Now she was just going there for fun after working.

As she walked through the women’s clothes department, she saw one of her friends walking toward her. It was Dick Grayson. He looked a little embarrassed, from being in that department, and a little worried, but about what she didn’t know.

“Hi Dick.” she said.

“Hi,” he said, “um, listen, Jules, you’re being followed.”

“WHAT?”

“Shhhh…”

“Sorry, what?”

“I, as Robin, was out making my rounds,” he whispered, “there was a guy acting very suspiciously. I started to follow him, and after a while I noticed that he was following someone: you.”

“What do you want me to do?” she whispered back.

“Act like you don’t know that you’re being followed, I’ll stay behind him and watch, and if anything happens then I’ll get whoever it is.”

“All right, do you want me to leave the store now?”

“If you can, then I’d like you to.”

“Yes, I can, I’m just here for fun.”

“All right, come out five minutes after I leave the store.”

“Okay.”

Dick left and, after five minutes, she left too.

She acted casual, not even looking behind her to see if there was someone following her.

She felt someone behind her, but she kept walking. Then someone walked by her and turned around.

“Julia Wolfe?” he asked.

“Yes,” she answered cautiously.

“Come with me.” he said.

“Why?”

“Just do it.”

Remembering that Robin was watching everything, she said, “All right.”

He led her into an alley, and then said, “Wolf Woman, I have some info on the spy.”

“What are you talking about? I’m Julia Wolfe, not a Superhero.”

“Oh, sorry, maybe this will help.” He mumbled a couple of words, and then he suddenly was dressed in El Coyote’s costume, “Now, will you listen?”

“How do you know that I’m Wolf Woman?”

“I know a lot, okay? Now come with me, we need a safer place to talk. Oh, and change to your Wolf Woman costume.”

“All right…Cap Flow.” Instantly her Wolf Woman costume was on her.

“Good, let’s go.”

He led Wolf Woman farther down the alley and turned left into a smaller alley with a dead end. I’m getting a bad feeling about this, she thought.

El Coyote turned to her and said, “I think that I know who the spy is.”

“Based on what?” she asked.

“Based on something I overheard being said over a radio. Someone was talking to a member of the Legion of Doom.”

“Who was it?”

He looked both ways, as if he thought that someone was listening then turned back to Wolf Woman and said, “ME!”

All of a sudden, people came out of the shadows and surrounded Wolf Woman. There were eight minions and Leo the Lion.

“So,” Leo said, “She’s the one that you said would trust you, huh?” he turned to Wolf Woman, “Well, you just have a problem with knowing who to trust, don’t you? First with me, and now El Coyote, and now it’ll be your undoing.”
