Once they were sure that the Legion was taken care of, the Super Friends had one more thing to do: destroy the Neutrium.
The most powerful of the Super Friends all went to the mine the Legion had made and found the Neutrium. They grabbed a small sample to make an antidote from (in case more Neutrium was ever found) and then destroyed the rest..
Once their job was done, they all headed to the Titan’s HQ. This was a day to celebrate.
Once those who were hurt in the fight were taken care of, they all headed to the big room. There they listened to rock music, talked with friends, and pigged out.
Wolf Woman, who had dyed her hair back to her natural blond color, would wait for all the fun; first she had to figure something out that had been bugging her. She walked over to Raven.
“Hey Raven,” she said, “could I ask you something?”
“Sure, what is it?”
“Telepath, while I was captured, scanned me and found out some things about me. He told me what he found out and one of the things that he said that he found was that I am telepathic. Was he telling the truth?”
Raven looked surprised, “He said you’re telepathic?”
Wolf Woman nodded.
“Well, I won’t know for sure unless I scan you. If you really want to know, fine, but that’s what it will take.”
“Yes, I want to know. Go ahead Raven.”
Wolf Woman braced herself, when Telepath had scanned her before it hurt very badly, so she wanted to be prepared. Raven looked directly at Wolf Woman, yet somehow through her. Raven’s pupils enlarged slightly and Wolf Woman felt a little pressure, but no pain. In fact, Raven’s presence in her mind was slightly soothing.
Then Raven took a deep breath and let it out, “Yes, Wolf Woman, you are telepathic.”
Wolf Woman was silent for a while, trying to take it in. “Wow, I am. What do you think I should I do? Do you think that I should learn how to use my telepathic powers?” Saying “my telepathic powers” sounded weird to her; since this was totally new to her she wasn’t sure of how to address it.
“Yes, I think that you should, though that’s really your decision. But if you do, the other telepaths here and I can help. It will take a while before you get really good at it, but I think that you can do it.”
“Thanks Raven, I think I’d like that.” Wolf Woman said.
They were both silent for a while, then Wolf Woman smiled and said, “Wanna go find some other friends to talk to with me, Raven?”
Raven smiled, “Sure.”
So they walked together, towards Grey Wolf, White Wolf, and a few others. Wow, so I am telepathic. It’s weird to think of myself that way. Then she silently prayed, “Thank-You, Father, for this new gift that You have given me. Please help me to use it for Your glory, and help me as I learn how to use it. Thank-you that we were able to stop the Legion of Doom’s plans to destroy us and to hurt many other people; without Your help our plan would not have worked. Thank-you for my friends and please help me to have a good time with them celebrating our victory, and help us to remember where we got this victory. I love You. In Jesus’ name I pray, amen.”
Wolf Woman decided to keep her telepathy a secret from everyone except the other telepaths, who would be teaching her. Someday the others would find out, but for now it would be a secret weapon that even most of the Super Friends didn’t know that they had.
She and Raven got over to their friends. Wolf Woman talked with them throughout the whole party, glad to be back among friends. She told them all about what had happened to her while she was captured (leaving out the part about her being telepathic) and then they told her what had happened while she was gone.
After a couple of hours, Julia went home and told her parents what had happened. Then she went upstairs to talk to Cassandra.
“Hi Cass,” Julia said, peeking through the door crack, “Can I come in?”
“Sure,” Cassie said, “but only if you’re going to tell me the truth.”
“What?” Julia said walking into the room. She sat on the floor while Cassandra sat on the bed, “What are you talking about?”
“You told me that you were going to a friend’s house because she was going through a hard time.” Cassandra said, “But then the Principle came up to me on Thursday and asked me how your work at the church was going. He said that Dad told him that you were baby-sitting younger kids at the church while the adults had a Bible study.”
Oh no! “Umm, the Principal must have heard Dad wrong,” Julia suggested.
“How could he get that out of ‘She’s spending some time with a friend who’s having a hard time’?”
“I don’t know,” Julia admitted.
“Well, since I know that you weren’t working at the church, Dad must have lied for you, but the question is, why would he lie about that? Then I ask myself, then was she really at a friend’s house at all? Then I ask myself, why is my sister lying to me?” As she said that last question, her voice cracked.
“Cassie,” Julia started, but then she stopped. She had no clue what to say. Should she tell her the truth? Or should she try to make up a great explanation. A Bible verse popped into her head, “Thou shalt not bear false testimony against thy neighbor.”
“Okay God,” Julia quickly prayed, “I’ll tell her. Please help her to understand!”
“Okay, Cassie.” Julia said, “You want the truth, so I’ll give you the truth. But first I need to say that I’m sorry about lying to you; I didn’t want to but I wanted to protect you. Knowing this secret might put your life in danger, and I don’t want to do that to you. But now I’ve also realized that by lying to you I’ve been sinning, and that by lying I hurt you. I just want to say I’m sorry and I hope that someday you’ll forgive me.”
“Go on.”
“Okay,” Julia took a deep breath and let it out, “Cass, I’m a Superhero.”
