My Life as told by Julia Wolfe aka Wolf Woman. Enjoy, and don't give away my true identity! http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/WolfWoman/ en-us Homeschool Blogger Mon, 19 Oct 2009 14:09:00 -0500 Mon, 19 Oct 2009 14:09:00 -0500 Chapter 13 The Truth “What?” Cassie exclaimed standing up. “Yes, I’m Wolf Woman. Now maybe you can understand all of those times that I ran off, or stayed away for a week, or lied to you. I’m not saying that that’s an excuse for lying to you. I should have told you before, but maybe you can see why I did.” Cassandra looked away from Julia, but then she looked back, “Prove it to me.” “Prove what?” “That you’re Wolf Woman.” “Oh, okay.” Julia said, “Cap Flow.” The Wolf Suit appeared on her. “There you go.” Cassie turned away, “All right. Now take it off so that I’m just talking to Julia, not a Superhero.” “Cap Flow,” Julia said once more. There was silence for almost a minute then Cassie lost it, “How could you have kept this a secret from me? All those times we trusted each other with our crushes, wishes, and all other secrets, but really you were keeping the biggest one of all to yourself! I thought you trusted me! I thought…” Julia sensed what she thought, “I loved you?” Cassie turned and nodded, hot tears running down her face. “I do love you, Cassie. That’s why I kept it a secret. If you knew then someone could hurt you to find out. I didn’t want that to happen.” “So you lied instead and hurt me yourself.” “I know.” Julia said, “I know. I have hurt you. By not being there for you, and by not telling you about this. Cassie, I was wrong, but please believe me, I thought that I was doing the right thing. I truly did.” “Well it wasn’t.” “I know now.” “And it hurts.” “I know that too.” “I still love you.” “I’m glad.” “But I’m a little mad.” “At least.” “Yeah, at least.” “I’m sorry. But now you know. I hope that someday you’ll forgive me for not telling you.” “I do. I do. But I’m still mad so I don’t. But I do.” Julia laughed quietly, “Think about it, clear your mind and we’ll talk later.” She stood up and walked over to the door. “Night, Cass.” “Night, Julia.” ____________________ Mon, Nov 20th, 2056 Julia and Cassandra ate their dinner in silence. Their parents talked about what they’d done that day. Every once in a while Julia or Cassie would nod their head, but they did nothing more than that. Finally, Christina Wolfe got sick of their silence, “What’s wrong with you two? Normally you’re talking so much that Dad and I can’t get a word in edgewise.” “Julia can tell you.” Julia turned and looked at her sister, “Are you sure that you want me to be the one to tell them?” Cassie just nodded. Julia sighed, “Cassie is mad at me because she found out a secret that I’d been keeping that I’d never told her.” “Well Cassandra? Is that the reason?” their Mom asked. She nodded. “People are entitled to have secrets that they don’t tell anyone, Cassie. Except for their parents that is,” she added quickly. “I know, but I’m still mad.” “Why? What was the secret?” Julia sighed again, “She found out who I am last night.” “Oh.” There was silence for a little bit, and then Michael Wolfe asked, “How? How did you find out, Cass?” “Because the Principal talked to me about Julia and why she was gone. He had a completely different story than I had been told. I asked her about it and caught her.” “Julia!” “Mom, I tried! But like she just said, she caught me. I had to tell.” “So it’s really Mom’s fault that you didn’t tell me?” “No. I still wouldn’t have. Because I didn’t want to put you in danger. Mom wanted that too, but I wouldn’t have told you anyways. I’m sorry. I should have told you earlier, but it seemed like the right thing to do.” “Yeah well it wasn’t!” “People make mistakes, Cass. The Bible says that all people sin. That ‘all’ includes me. I’m not sure that keeping it a secret was a sin per-say, but it was a mistake. One that I truly sorry for.” “Yeah, well-” “I think I liked it better when you two were quiet.” their Dad broke in. “Cassie, Julia admitted that she made a mistake and she said that she was sorry for it. Can’t you forgive her and move on?” Easier said than done! Julia started at this thought that she’d heard come from her sister. It had to be a very strong thought, or else she wouldn’t have heard it. But it surprised her, not because her sister thought that, but because she wasn’t used to her developing powers yet. “Yes, Dad.” Cassie turned to Julia, “I’m sorry I yelled, and I forgive you. I know that you thought what you were doing was right.” “I forgive you for yelling. Thank-you for forgiving me.” Even though it’ll probably take a while before you truly do forgive me. There was silence for the rest of the meal. Cassie finished first and ran upstairs. Julia rushed through the rest of her meal and ran up too. Julia knocked on Cassie’s door. “Come in,” a quiet, slightly annoyed voice said. “Cass?” “Yeah?” “You haven’t asked me yet.” “Asked you what?” “What I promised I’d do with you when I came back.” “I haven’t been in the mood to ask.” “Well,” Julia said, “do you want to know?” “Sure.” “Well, I bought tickets for us to go see our favorite band, Implosion.” Cassie’s eyes lit up. “But then I was delayed and the concert was two days ago.” “Oh.” “So then I thought, ‘Maybe I can trade them in for some tickets to another concert by them’, but that didn’t work out either.” Cassie groaned, “Why are you telling me this?” “Because then I happened to tell a good friend of mine about what happened, and he personally bought us two more tickets to see the show in Portland, Oregon, plus two-way tickets for a plane ride there! We’d leave on Friday after school, stay at your old friend Melissa’s house, go to the concert with her on Saturday-I’m paying for that ticket-and then come home on Sunday.” Cassie’s eyes widened, “Really? Wow! And you’ve talked this over with Mom, Dad, and Melissa’s parents?” “Would I tell you this if I hadn’t yet?” “Wow! This is great! So who’s the friend?” Who do I say? Dick or Robin? “He or she wishes to remain anonymous.” “Well, tell him or her thank-you for me!” “I will.” “And thank-you for doing that originally, and for working this all out.” “Are you still mad at me?” “Yes, a little. But I’ll get over it; I just need some time.” “I understand completely, Cassie,” Julia said. “I really do.” “Thanks, Julia. And I won’t act like I did at the dinner table again; that was really rude of me.” “I know you won’t, and I forgive you for doing so.” Cassie stood up and hugged her sister. They had some problems, but they’d work them out together. ____________________ Leo looked over Rabies’ shoulder, “How’s the Neutrium coming along?” “Very well, Leo. Soon it should be ready to use.” “It’s too bad those darn Super Friends wiped the location out of our minds.” “Yeah, and off of our computer when they came to steal the info. But don’t worry, Leo. Soon the little bit we do have will be ready, then we can get some payback!” That's the end of The C.F.M.C. I am currently working on the story that comes after this, but it's going rather slowly. Because of this, I won't be posting the next installment of Wolf Woman's story until I start getting back into my Superhero flow. In the meantime, however, I am posting another story of mine at this blog: Songflight. It is totally unrelated to this story and has nothing to do with Superheroes, but I hope that you will still come by and see if you like it. I hope to be able to post more Wolf Woman stories, as well as a story about another of my Superheroes that takes place about ten years before Wolf Woman came into being soon. But until then, I hope you enjoy Songflight. ~SeaChel and Wolf Woman http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/WolfWoman/737398/ Mon, 19 Oct 2009 14:09:00 -0500 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/WolfWoman/737398/ 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.” ~Wolf Woman http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/WolfWoman/735499/ Mon, 12 Oct 2009 14:14:00 -0500 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/WolfWoman/735499/ Hey Guys! I just posted the first part of chapter 12 of "The C.F.M.C.", but before you go and read that, I wanted to let you know that I just made a new blog for a new story that I'm working on (no, it has nothing to do with Superheroes) called "Songflight". Here's a quick exerpt from the story: Kallar opened the door and stepped aside to allow Karn to enter first, then Hannah, and then Melissa. As she walked in, Melissa felt a significant change in temperature; it was a lot hotter inside than outside. There were four young men standing around the dragon, using their combined mental strength to keep the young dragon in the middle unable to break his bonds. The power of the Slayers was in their minds; if a group of Slayers’ combined mind power is greater than a dragon’s they are able to weaken it, even kill it if they are strong enough. The dragon they were guarding was a white, meaning it had the ability to breathe ice and was strengthened by cold temperatures. To further weaken it, fires had been lit all throughout the hut, heating the air till it was almost unbearable. I’m glad I’m not one of the men who has to stay in here, Melissa thought. Just then the White Dragon looked up at her and its icy-blue eyes met her blue-grey ones. He almost seemed to plead with her, plead that she would aid his escape. "Help me…Singer." Melissa was taken aback; had the dragon just talked to her? How does it know my nickname? she wondered. Karn jumped in front of his daughter, "Keep your evil eyes away from my daughter!" he boomed. The White Dragon lowered its head to the ground, weakened even more by the presence of an enhanced Slayer. Karn then turned to face his daughter, "What did the foul creature say to you, Melissa?" he demanded. "What did it say?" "He asked me to help him," she said, still confused by the dragon’s plea. Karn laughed and turned back to the dragon, "It’s so desperate that it would ask the daughter of Karn, the great leader of the Seaside Slayers, to help it! Foolish, cowardly lizard! You attack our kind, and yet you aren’t willing to face the consequences of your actions! Well, you will receive no help and tonight you will still die!" And with that, Karn led his family and Kallar out of the hut. Kallar walked beside Melissa, "Now that you’ve heard the beast’s voice inside your head, can’t you feel how evil they are?" his brown eyes flashed with excitement. "It didn’t feel evil," she almost whispered, "it felt like he was scared." "And well he should be!" He shook his head slightly so as to get his raven-black hair out of his eyes. "I promise you, Melissa, that dragon will suffer tonight for entering your mind without your permission and trying to lead you astray!" Melissa looked at the ground as she walked, she didn’t want it to suffer. More than anything she wanted to help the White Dragon to escape. But there was no way to do it, he would be guarded all day until the ceremony, and then he would be tortured and die. And all she could do was watch. Hope that sparked your interest! If it did, go to the Songflight blog and read the first part of chapter one!! ~SeaChel http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/WolfWoman/733894/ Tue, 6 Oct 2009 22:07:00 -0500 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/WolfWoman/733894/ Chapter 12 The C.F.M.C. Telepath smiled, “That’s two more codes we know.” Oh great, Julia thought. He’ll probably find out more before this fight’s over! There’s no one here that can protect us. ...unless he was telling the truth about me being telepathic! If he was, then maybe I can protect us! I’ll try next time he attacks one of us! The Leopard, Rabies, and four minions came out towards the Heroes, surrounding them. Tiger Lady hissed, claws extended; Batgirl, now free from Telepath’s attack, straightened up and reached for a Bat-a-rang from her utility belt; Dark Warrior drew his double katanas; Beastboy changed to a leopard and crouched, ready to pounce; Julia, though not Wolf Woman, waited to attack. “Let me at them first, guys.” Telepath ordered. Beastboy leaped over two minions’ heads and ran to pounce on the Telepath, but after two leaps Beastboy crumpled to the ground in pain. Julia tried to block the attack, but she couldn’t. The others followed Beastboy’s lead and ran forward to attack Telepath. One by one they fell to the ground. But once two of the others went down, Beastboy got up again. He can only get two at a time; we just might be able to do this. Julia ran out with her friends, but was stopped instantly by the Telepath. I won’t let him win! Julia got up, despite the pain and slowly, painfully moved towards Telepath. When the others saw her they did the same. Telepath quickly switched back and forth, hurting a couple of them for a little bit and then needing to get a different teen who was getting too close. Telepath saw that he needed help, “Now!” The other Legion members ran forward. Leopard drew her claws and used them as swords against Dark Warrior, Rabies went after Beastboy with a tranquilizer gun, and the four minions split themselves amongst the other Titans. The Heroes kept trying to get to Telepath, but whenever they tried he would stop them with his mind. Julia figured that in order to win this one they’d have to take out the Telepath. So, I’m telepathic, huh? She looked over at the fallen prison bars and tried flinging them with her mind. Telepath just laughed, “I said telepathic, not telekinetic!” Then he pulled out his radio and called Leo, “Leo, I just scanned them. We were wrong, we only need ten codes. I have them all,” he then whispered them to Leo. What? Only ten? Oh well, I’ll figure that out later. Julia ran over to Batgirl, who was fighting two minions, and helped her out. Even without weapons or gadgets, she was an excellent fighter. Then Julia remembered something that Telepath had said earlier: “deep scanning another telepath, trained or not, is much harder work than deep scanning a normal person”. So I guess our best bet is me. With that thought, Julia turned and ran towards Telepath. Julia felt pain in her head but kept going. You aren’t going to win! She heard Telepath say inside her head; “This isn’t the battle that you should be worrying about.” She knew that he was talking about the C.F.M.C. “We now have enough codes to get into the computer. Sorry to break it to you, but your friends are history, Miss Wolfe!” She hated the way he said that, Stop calling me that! With pain still throbbing in her head Julia jumped, kicking Telepath in the shoulder. Since she was in pain she didn’t get to her normal kick force, so Telepath was still standing but he was shaken. She jumped at him, but he moved out of the way. She landed on her hands and changed it into a back handspring (not a very graceful one, but it worked). Then she ran at him and punched. He blocked it and she punched again. And again. And again. Then she kicked at his head, but he caught her foot. But she’d been expecting that and she jumped up and kicked him in the face with her other foot while flipping over backwards. She landed on her feet and jumped at him again, this time hitting him in the back of the head and knocking him out cold. Then she looked back and surveyed the rest of the battle. Two of the minions were unconscious, Leopard and Dark Warrior were still dueling, and Rabies was trying desperately to hit Beastboy with his tranq gun. And he had his back turned to her. She ran at him, jumped and kicked him in the back of his head. He fell to the ground, unconscious. Beastboy then ran to help Dark Warrior, while Julia and the girls finished fighting the minions. Soon all of the villains were out cold. “Is everyone okay?” Dark Warrior asked. The others nodded their heads. “Then let‘s go,” he said, “We have another battle to catch!” ____________________ Raven looked around at her teammates. They could see the army of Super Villains and Minions coming towards the C.F.M.C. hideout. I sure hope that this plan works. ____________________ Robin saw the Legion coming their way. He grabbed his radio and called Aqualad. “Watch Tower team,” Robin said, “The enemy is coming this way; we need you and your group to get here ASAP.” “Will do, Watch Tower over and out.” Then Robin called Raven’s team. “Do you see the enemy?” “Yes, Robin, we do.” “Get ready, we’ll need you very soon.” He shut off his radio. All right, I hope that the Wolf Rescue and Watch Tower teams get here soon; we’ll need all the help that we can get! The Legion’s army came in as fast as an eagle’s shadow. The Super Friends, trying to protect their most valuable information, quickly met the attack. After a few minutes of fighting, both the TT and JL Watch Tower teams made it to the battle and helped to ward off the attack. Ten minutes later the Wolf Rescue team made it back along with Julia, who was now a brunette Wolf Woman (she looked just like White Wolf, only with shorter hair). Before running into the fray, Batgirl handed Wolf Woman a small, circular object. "What is this?" she'd asked. "It's a stablizer. I can't tell you why you need it just now, but you do!" So Wolf Woman slipped the stablizer into a compartment in her utility belt, and then ran in to join the battle. Soon Telepath, Leopard, Rabies, and the minions came to join the fight. Telepath then tried to hurt people mentally but was blocked by a telepathic wall made by certain telepathic members of the Super Friends. The fight went on for what seemed like hours but was probably only a half hour. Minions quickly went down but the others were not easily broken. When it seemed that the Super Friends would win, the Legion brought out their new secret weapon: the Ninjas. Ninjas were an advanced type of minion; stronger, better trained, they didn’t go down as easily as regular minions. They even were better fighters than some of the Legion’s main members! With their new help, the Legion had the upper hand. Wolf Woman was one of the heroes in the back, so she met the Ninjas head on, along with a few other heroes. Wolf Woman had been trained in all martial arts except Jujitsu, so she wasn’t quite sure what to expect. A bunch of the Ninjas tried to run past the back lines and into the main fighting; Wolf Woman and the others tried to keep them away, but a bunch of them got through. Finally, one of the Legion’s members made it to the Computer. Rabies typed in one of the codes to access the Complete Files. No one moved to stop him; all were too busy fighting. Rabies typed in the second that the Legion knew. Then the two they’d learned from Julia. Then he typed in one of the phony codes Telepath had gotten from Batgirl when he first scanned her. Then the screen went all red and all of the Legion members disappeared! ____________________ Raven watched as the entire Legion’s members appeared in the room that her team was in. Raven’s team had only ten seconds before the Legion disappeared again and reappeared in the Legion’s own hideout. Raven’s team consisted of all of the Super Friends’ telepaths. The members of her team were: Wonder Woman, Wonder Girl, Troia, and Martian Manhunter. Raven joined hands with the other telepaths and combined her powers with her team members’. Together they erased any memory of the C.F.M.C. from the members of the Legion of Doom’s minds. They also wiped away any memory of the Neutrium’s whereabouts. They finished just in time, for right after they were done the Legion disappeared. ~Wolf Woman http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/WolfWoman/733742/ Tue, 6 Oct 2009 14:16:00 -0500 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/WolfWoman/733742/ Tiger Lady looked around at her teammates, Batgirl, Dark Warrior, and Beastboy, who would be accompanying her on this mission. Their mission: Break Julia out of the Legion of Doom’s prison. Once in the chopper that they would take to rescue Julia, Tiger Lady called Robin on her radio, "Okay Robin, we’re all set to go." "Has Raven come by yet?" "Yes, but I don’t understand what she did." "In case Telepath is there and tries to scan you for C.F.M.C. codes, she put faulty information in your minds. Just wish we’d thought of that before we sent out spy team. Anyway, you all have two fake codes placed in your minds, as well as information saying that you only need ten codes to get in. Hopefully he’ll be there and see it." "Wait, you want him to scan us?" "Raven also put up blocks in your minds so that he can’t see anything else. Raven told me that he shouldn’t notice the blocks if he’s only looking for the codes, so he won‘t get suspicious. Don’t worry, he won’t see anything." "All right. Wolf Rescue over and out." ____________________ Once Tiger Lady turned her radio off, Robin called Aqualad, who was in charge of watching over TTHQ, "Aqualad, I have reason to believe that the Legion will come here in full force soon. Stay at HQ, but be ready to come here fast. And also be ready to get the Justice Leaguers who stayed to watch their HQ to help once I call." "Will do, Watch Tower over and out." Robin then called another group of Titans and Justice Leaguers, "Raven, are you and your group in place?" "Yes, we’re ready and waiting for our part in this battle." "Good, stay ready and alert. Computer team, over and out." And with that, he shut off his radio. Robin surveyed his group’s position. They would be fighting to protect the Complete Files of the Main Computer, more commonly known as the C.F.M.C. The Main Computer was where all Teen Titan and Justice League information was kept. What was in the computer alone was harmless even if the Legion found it, basically it just had the mission files that everyone made after a mission on it; it was the Complete Files that they had to worry about being accessed. In those files was all the information on every one of the Super Friends, including every one of their weaknesses and secret identities. The reason that they had it was in case one or more of the Super Friends turned bad, that info would come in handy then. To protect the files from being opened by only one of them everyone only knew two of the thirty codes. That way the files could only be accessed by a big group of the Super Friends and not just one or two of them. So why even bother with protecting it if the Legion only knew two of the codes? It was because with the Legion’s new secret weapon, Telepath, they could find out the other codes easily. Plus, if they found out that they only knew two of all the codes, they would probably just destroy the computer and the files. The Super Friends had to make the Legion forget about the C.F.M.C. forever, and they knew just how to do it. ____________________ Julia felt horrible; the Legion now knew the location of the Computer and two of its codes. I can’t believe I let him trick me like that! I hope that the others will be prepared for what’s coming their way. Then Julia remembered something that Telepath had said earlier, after he’d scanned her to get the codes: "That’s two more codes we know!" Why did he say "two more codes"? Plus he didn’t say anything about the location. So they must have already known some other codes and the location. But how could they have figured that out? The only other two that have been captured recently were Plastic Man and Catwoman, and both said that they didn’t tell and that they hadn’t been scanned. So how did they figure that out? Just then she heard footsteps coming up the prison hall. It was some of the Titans! Dark Warrior had his crossbow out, watching out for enemies. Close behind him followed Beastboy, Tiger Lady, and Batgirl. "There she is." Dark Warrior pointed to her cell. They ran up to her. "Whoa, Julia," Batgirl said, "I didn’t recognize you with brown hair! Are you alright?" "Yes, I’m fine, but they found out the location of the C.F.M.C. and more than two pass codes." "Telepath?" Tiger Lady asked. "Yes." "Wait a minute." Beastboy said, "More than two? You only know two." "I know, but somehow they know more than what they got from me." "Well, there’s no time to worry about that right now. Do you know where the keys are?" Tiger Lady asked. "Yes, Leo has them," Julia said. "Don’t worry about keys, dudes," Beastboy said, "Just back away from the door." Julia did as he said while Beastboy turned into an elephant. He quickly knocked down the barred door. "Thanks BB," Julia said. "Now let’s get out of here." Batgirl said. They started walking, but suddenly Batgirl stopped and, holding her head, she cried out in pain. They turned to see Telepath standing behind them. "You didn’t think that I’d let the prisoner escape, did you?" ~Wolf Woman http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/WolfWoman/731699/ Tue, 29 Sep 2009 18:18:00 -0500 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/WolfWoman/731699/ Chapter 11 Telepathic? It was late at night before William and Gregory got back to TTHQ, almost midnight, for they had had no transportation. But once they’d gotten there they wasted no time in getting their information to White Wolf and Robin. "These guys did a great job," White Wolf told Robin after looking at the contents of the jump drive. "Not only did they find the location of the Neutrium, but they also were able to find out why the Legion was hacking into our computer system. They were looking for the codes for the C.F.M.C. and its location." "If they’re so desperate to find the codes that they’ll hack into our computer, even knowing about our firewall that they most assuredly can’t get past, then they’re probably torturing Julia for the codes right now, since Leo knows that she’s Wolf Woman. So we need to get her out, soon!" Gregory said. "At least she doesn’t have very much to give them," White Wolf added, "She knows the location, but only two of the codes. But still you’re right, we need to get her out of there." "Plus if they get what she does know through the Telepath they probably won’t believe that she doesn’t know all of the codes." William pointed out, "If they think that, they might keep torturing her for something that she doesn’t know." Robin’s eyes flamed with anger as he remembered what Leo had done to her before. He grabbed his radio, "Batgirl, you have a mission, meet me in the briefing room and bring Tigerlady, Beastboy, and Dark Warrior with you." "Sure thing, Robin," she replied. Robin switched off his radio and turned to the others, "I’ve recently learned from Raven, Troia, and other telepathic members of the Super Friends that with close range telepaths are very powerful; so I don’t think that Julia will be able to protect what she knows. So we need a team of Super Friends to go to where we keep the C.F.M.C. and guard it. White Wolf, I’ll need you on that team along with Grey Wolf, Atomic Teen, Starfire, Supergirl, Rottweiler, Golden Retriever, Cyborg, Gadget Guy, Superstar, various Justice Leaguers, and myself. I’ll call Superman and tell him of the situation and have him send some of the Justice League to help. The remaining Titans and Leaguers will watch over both Headquarters’ until we call them in." "All right, Robin." White Wolf said. "But wait." William said, "What about the Neutrium?" "I need to talk to Superman about that," Robin said, "But believe me, we’ll do something about it!" ____________________ Sat, Nov 18th, 2056 "Good morning, Miss Wolfe." Julia sat up straight and looked around for the source of that voice. It was the Telepath. "Did you have a good sleep?" She heard him ask. But his mouth was not moving. "Get out of my mind!" she said threateningly. "As you can see I’ve sent everyone else out of here," he said, this time his mouth was moving, "There are a few things that I want to discuss with you. Like what I found out about you yesterday." he said, "Unfortunately, you fell unconscious before I could find everything I was supposed to look for." Thank-you, God, she prayed silently. "I sent them out because it’s against the rules of a telepath to talk about personal stuff that you learn about someone without that person’s permission. Don’t give me that look, even if I’m on the ‘evil’ side I have to keep the rules of a telepath." "So you can’t tell them about the C.F.M.C. unless I say that you can?" she asked hopefully. "No, that’s not personal per say." he said, "Now about what I learned. Number one is who you really are, Miss Wolfe. You’re Wolf Woman. I also learned of your old relationship with Leo the Lion before you were enemies. "Now I have a question for you:" he continued, "Have you ever thought that you heard someone say something, like yelling or screaming, and then find out that they didn’t say anything at all?" Julia’s mind raced back to after her first mission with Ivy and El Coyote. She had heard Grey Wolf yell, but he said he hadn’t yelled at all. "Yes," Telepath said grinning, "It has happened to you once this past month, hasn’t it?" She glared at him, "Stop that." "The reason that I asked that was because of something else that I learned while searching your mind: you are telepathic." "WHAT?" "Yes, it’s surprising that you didn’t find out until now; most gain their powers around the age of thirteen. It’s too bad you aren’t trained; one out of a hundred million humans are telepaths and only one out of a hundred of those telepaths are trained. Oh sure those who aren’t trained can hear the very loud thoughts of others, but those who are trained can do so much more." "How do I know that you’re telling the truth about this?" she asked. "Why would I lie about it?" There was no reason that she could think of, but maybe he did have a reason that she didn’t know about, how could she know? So many things raced through her mind at once. If this were true what would she do about it? Would she try to find someone who could train her to use her telepathic powers; or would she leave it alone? But she kept coming back to the same question: was Telepath telling the truth? "You don’t think that you want to be trained and yet at the same time you do. And, you don‘t know if you can trust me." Telepath said. "Stop reading my thoughts!" she snarled. "You know, I’ve become pretty powerful in that area," he said, ignoring her, "I could teach you if you want, with a few conditions." "Supposing I was interested, and I’m not, what would those conditions be?" Julia asked. "Simply to switch sides," he said as if it wouldn’t be a big decision, "We could use more telepaths on this side." "Never." "You know, it’s really easy to read people’s casual thoughts when you are as good a telepath as I am." he said, changing the subject, "So when you are around me be careful not to think of anything important that you don’t want me to know. Like the pass codes for the C.F.M.C." Instantly she thought of what she knew, not on purpose, but by reflex. She quickly tried to cover her thoughts by singing something in her head. But it was too late, "Gotcha. That‘s two more codes we know!" Telepath grinned, "Thank-you for your cooperation, Miss Wolfe; deep scanning another telepath, trained or not, is much harder work than deep scanning a normal person, so you just saved me some work." And with that he started to walk away, but he turned back, "By the way, nice tune." ~Wolf Woman http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/WolfWoman/729187/ Mon, 21 Sep 2009 21:22:00 -0500 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/WolfWoman/729187/ "God," Julia prayed, "Once Leo finds out who I am, he’ll torture me for sure! Please help me to be strong, and help my friends to get here quickly! "Please also help Will and Gregory; I was able to keep the minions back long enough, but there are other Legion members who won’t give up so easily. Please help them to get away and get the info to the rest of the Titans!" She looked up from her prayer to see Leo coming back. "Ivy, Green, leave us." "What’s wrong, Leo?" Poison Ivy asked. "Nothing," he smiled evilly, "Nothing at all." Once the other two left, Leo walked up to her, "Well, Jules, it’s good to see you again." "Can’t say the same about you." He clicked his tongue, "How could you say that, Jules? We once were great pals; why, if I remember correctly, you even had a crush on me." " ‘Once’ being the key-word here." "I guess this means you won’t help me out? You won’t tell me what you and your buddies were looking for in the computers? You won’t tell me who was with you? You won’t tell me anything?" She just stared at the prison wall. "Well, if you won’t help me out the easy way, we’ll just have to do it the hard way. I’ll be right back." He opened the cell door and left. Five minutes later he came back with another person; who she recognized as Telepath. Oh great! "God, please help me! I can’t let him get the information, I just can’t!" "Well, Jules," Leo said, "I believe you’ve met Telepath once before. You’ve probably been wondering why you haven’t seen him ever since your first meeting. That’s because he’s been training himself to use his powers to the fullest. He’s gotten quite good and is improving daily. And you’re the first of your kind to see it first hand." Leo opened the cell door and the two of them came in. Leo stayed by the door, but Telepath walked towards her until he stood about a yard away. He looked at her, studying her closely. Then he appeared to look through her head and into her mind. Then came searing pain, like a flaming coal inside her brain. She tried desperately to protect her most important secrets, but slowly she felt control slipping away from her. The pain grew worse, the searing hot coal pressing against the edges of her mind, almost seeming like it was trying to escape. She fought the urge to scream, which she knew would give Leo satisfaction. She wouldn’t let him have it. "God please help me! Help me not to give anything away!" And everything turned black. ____________________ A nine-year-old Raven fought hard to keep her emotions at bay. Even after being telekinetic for two years, it was still extremely hard for Raven to keep her powers under control. She held back sobs and wiped her eyes. Meditation, she thought. That’s what I need. Maybe then my powers will stop. Raven closed her eyes and concentrated, as her father had taught her. She’d done this quite a few times before, so she found her center relatively quickly. But this time it was different; she wasn’t alone. She heard a voice inside her head, "Little girl, why are you crying?" At first, Raven drew her mind away from the other presence. But then she came back; she needed someone to talk to. "I’m not feeling well," she said. "It’s your mother, isn’t it? And your father isn’t trying to stop it." "How do you know this?" "I know a lot, Raven." he said, "I’ve been watching you for some time now. Your powers are quite impressive." "I can’t control them." "With some help you could. I can help you, Raven. I can love you." Raven thought about this for a second, then asked, "Who are you?" "A friend from the spirit world." Raven started. She’d tried to contact the spirit world before, but her father said that no spirit would take interest in her until she’d reached maturity. Then why was he willing to be her spirit friend? "Because I see great things ahead of you," the spirit broke into her thoughts. "I want to help you achieve them." His words rang in her ears: "‘I can help you, Raven. I can love you.’" For so long she’d wanted a friend. For so long she’d wanted love. "Yes." Raven sat up in bed. Julia! Something was wrong with Julia. But how can I know this? Raven thought, We aren’t connected in any way telepathically. "It was probably just my way of getting out of that horrible memory dream," Raven decided aloud. "I’ve left that life; so why do I still have dreams about it?" ~Wolf Woman http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/WolfWoman/726853/ Mon, 14 Sep 2009 16:48:00 -0500 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/WolfWoman/726853/ Chapter 10 Mission Time! Fri, Nov 17th, 2056 "Hey guys," William said at the dinner table on their fourth day as Minions, "have you noticed those people sitting over there?" he pointed to some tables in the corner. "Of course, who hasn’t?" Julia said. "I know," Gregory added, "They’re dressed differently than all of the other minions and they keep to themselves." "I just found out about them," William said, "It turns out that they’re in a new program set up by the Legion, called the Ninjas." "WHAT?" Julia exclaimed. "You mean that we could have become Ninjas instead of Minions?" Gregory exclaimed. "Evidently." William said. They sat it silence for a while, just eating their food (if you can call it that). All other Minions stayed away from their table, Julia figured that it was because they were scared of her because she had beat up the biggest and best of them all. And she was probably right. When people started to leave the dining room, Julia looked at the others and whispered, "All right, once everyone else is out we make our move. Red, you will lead us to where we need to go. Once there, both of you set up your computers and start up the program; we might find the info faster with two computers. I’ll be the look out. Once you find the info, we get it all on the jump drive. Is everything clear?" "Yep." "I’m ready." "Good." They waited at their table, eating their lunch slowly, until they were the only ones left in the room. "Let’s go!" Gregory said excitedly. The three young heroes walked out of the eating area and went towards their rooms, but when they got to a fork in the hall they turned the opposite direction from their rooms. Stealthily, they walked down the hall. Finally, Gregory found the door. Quietly, he opened the door and they walked in. The room was dark, but not so dark that they couldn’t see. Julia stayed by the door, watching out for anyone through the one-way window. The guys got out their mini computers and started up the program. They got done finding the info rather quickly and got the file onto a jump drive. Then they deleted the info off of the Legion’s computer. "Hey guys," Julia whispered, "Since that was so fast, we should try to get more stuff from their computer. Maybe we can find out why they find to search our computer!" "Already started," Gregory said, and Will nodded his head. A couple minutes later, Julia saw something. "Someone’s coming this way!" she whispered. "We need to get out of here!" Gregory said picking up his equipment. William did the same. "Is he coming in?" "Yes, we’ll have to jump him. It’s Leo." Julia replied. "Okay, get near the door." Gregory said. "Get ready," Julia said as they neared the door, "Three, two, one, now!" They opened the door and ran out, knocking Leo to the ground. Then they ran. "Traders escaping!!!!!" Leo yelled, "STOP THEM!!!!!!!" Since they were so close to the minion quarters, the minions all heard and came running. Soon the three heroes were running as fast as they could with over thirty minions on their tails, and the minions were gaining on them! "Go on guys, run!" Julia yelled to her friends. "What about you?" They yelled back. "I’ll stall them! You need to get back to HQ with the info, GO!" There was no time to argue. Reluctantly, the boys ran on ahead and Julia stayed behind, trying to keep the minions busy. I can’t let any of them get past! She fought them with all that she had, but with the thirty minions against just her, they quickly subdued her. Luckily, she had kept them back long enough for her friends to get away. ____________________ Reluctantly, William and Gregory ran on ahead, leaving Julia behind to face the minions. They didn’t want to leave their friend behind, but they knew that if the minions caught them their whole mission would be a flop. They got to the exit okay; apparently Julia had done a good job with keeping the minions busy. "Let’s get back to HQ," Gregory said. William looked back toward the Legion’s hideout. "I don’t want to leave her anymore than you do, Will." Gregory said, "But once we get back we can make a plan to help her escape." An alarm sounded, "Now come on, or she’ll have stayed behind for nothing." So they ran on to TTHQ. ____________________ Julia sat in her prison cell. No one had found out who she really was yet, but she was sure that they would try very soon. Very soon came almost too quickly, for she saw three figures coming towards her. As they neared she could tell who they were: Leo the Lion, Poison Ivy, and Green Minion. "I knew it was to good to be true," Poison Ivy stated, "We couldn’t possibly get one great minion without it becoming a trader, much less three." "Hey!" Green Minion interjected. Poison Ivy turned and looked him in the eye. She blew a kiss to him and he began to gag. "Ivy, this isn’t the time," Leo said, "We just lost three minions, must we lose another?" "I don’t like minions back-talking to me, Leo." "Nor do I, but there are other ways of punishing than your poisonous kisses." "Fine," she turned to the minion who was now on the floor from her poison and blew another kiss; the antidote. "Now, let’s figure out who you are." Leo turned towards Julia and opened the prison cell. He walked over to Julia, who tried to look calm. Once he got over to her, in one quick motion, so quick that she couldn’t defend herself, he yanked on her hair. "Ouch!" she yelped. "Well, the hair’s not a wig," Leo said, looking at the few hairs he’d pulled out, "but maybe it’s dyed." "How about contacts?" Poison Ivy asked. Leo moved toward her again, but Julia stopped him saying in a disguised voice, "Don’t get anywhere near my eyes! I’ll take them out myself." And she did just that, taking off her brown eye contacts and revealing her blue eyes. "Thank-you for cooperating!" Leo said, "Now want to tell me if your hair is dyed and if you’re using something to make your skin look a different shade?" She just stared blankly at that; she wasn’t going to cooperate any more than she had to. As she stared Leo came closer, looking at her, no, staring at her. She shifted nervously. "There’s something about those eyes that…" Leo started to say, and then stopped himself mid sentence. Then he looked over at Poison Ivy and said, "I‘m going to do a DNA test on her; you two watch her closely. And Green, keep your mouth shut, ‘cause I won‘t be around to stop her from poisoning you again." Leo walked out of the room. ~Wolf Woman http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/WolfWoman/725722/ Thu, 10 Sep 2009 14:08:00 -0500 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/WolfWoman/725722/ Wed, Nov 15th, 2056 The day after they became minions, Julia, Gregory, William, and a few other minions had an assignment. They had to attempt to rob a small bank as a diversion. "With any luck the Heroes won’t realize that other members of the Legion are robbing another, much bigger bank," they were told. So the Teal, Gray, Red, Purple, and Black Minions headed out to the back in the small town of Budridge in the Legion’s helicopter. Once over the bank, all five minions jumped onto the roof. Purple Minion took a laser that they’d been given for the mission and cut a hole in the roof. They all jumped in. The few people in the bank froze after seeing the Minions. Black Minion pulled out a gun and told the woman at the counter to give him the cash box. The other Minions drew their guns and threatened to shoot anyone that moved. Julia watched the events unfold and thought about how to stop this without making it look like she did it on purpose. Just then, another person jumped in through the hole in the roof. It was Raven. All Minions turned and pointed their guns at her. But before they could shoot, Raven used to telekinetic powers to close up the barrels of the guns. Then other Heroes came in: Starfire, Robin, and Gadget Guy. The other Minions ran to fight the Heroes, and Julia quickly thought about what she should do. She had to look like she was fighting, but tell Robin or one of the others that they were only a diversion. In order to do that she had to get one that would listen to her and know that she really was Julia when she told them. She picked Raven, who was closer and no one had run to attack yet. She ran towards her, but was pushed back against the wall by Raven’s powers. Getting to her isn’t going to be as easy as I thought. Julia flipped up over people’s heads and landed next to Raven. She quickly kicked her, but not at full force. Raven stepped back away from the kick, and then advanced, "You know, if you’re going to be fighting us you should learn how to kick!" Raven kicked Julia in the shoulder, causing her to fly back a bit. Julia again flipped over to Raven and gave her a harder kick, this time sending Raven back into a nearby wall. "I do know how to kick, Raven." Julia said in a harsh tone of voice, for the benefit of the other Minions who might see them. Raven was taken aback, the voice sounded familiar. Julia felt Raven’s voice in her mind, Julia? Julia nodded once, then thought (so that Raven would read it and know), "We’re just a diversion, there’s another, bigger bank being robbed right now. The one in Reddington, near here. You need to send people over there to stop them. There are about three villains there. Will and Gregory are here too, they‘re Gray Minion and Red Minion." Raven apparently heard all of that and grabbed her radio, but before she called anyone she told Julia, "Look like you’re in pain from me scanning you to get the info." Julia grabbed her head and cried out in mock pain. Raven talked into her radio, "Batgirl, get a few others, whoever’s closest to you right now, and get to the bank in Reddington, there’s a bank robbery going on there, hurry!" The other Minions heard what she said and knew that they’d failed and that they should leave now. All of them ran to the door, or climbed out through the ceiling. Robin told Gadget Guy and Starfire to chase and catch them. But before they went out Raven told them to not catch the Teal, Red, and Gray Minions, let them get away. Julia ran as fast as she could with the other Minions. She took a quickly look behind her and saw Starfire and Gadget Guy chasing them. Black Minion yelled "Split up!" And that’s just what they did. Julia ran down an alley and came out on another street. No one was chasing her. "Whew. That was a great mission; for my real team, that is." ____________________ "So, what happened back there, Minions?" Lex Luthor asked Julia, William, and Gregory, who were the only Minions that had escaped being captured. "Well, everything seemed to go as planned," Gregory started. "We got into the bank, showed them our guns, and told them to give us the cash box." "Then Raven came into the room and closed up the barrels of our guns so that they wouldn’t work." William said, "Then three other Heroes came in." "We fought them, and then everything went haywire." Julia said, "I was fighting Raven and then I felt this horrible pain in my head. Next thing I know she’s calling for other Heroes to go and stop the bank robbery at Reddington." "So it’s your fault that the mission went flop." "No! I couldn’t stop her! I tried to hide it! Honest I did!" "It’s your fault just the same!" Luthor slapped her across the face. Gregory moved to stop him, but Julia gave him a quick look that told him not to. "Get out of my sight!" Luthor told Julia and the others. They quickly obeyed. Once out of the room, William looked over at Julia, "Are you all right?" "Yeah, I’m fine. It doesn’t hurt nearly as bad as most other things that happen to me in this job." "Good." Gregory said, "Well, we’d better get to our rooms. See you guys at dinnertime. "Bye." "Bye." ~Wolf Woman http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/WolfWoman/722551/ Mon, 31 Aug 2009 14:22:00 -0500 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/WolfWoman/722551/ Hey guys! Guess who's back? To my few readers, I'm very, very sorry I haven't posted for a month or so. I really have no excuses other than I forgot. But now I'm back, hopefully to say! :-D ~SeaChel Chapter 9 New Minions Tues, Nov 14th, 2056 When they woke up the next morning there were messages for them on the computers in their rooms. Julia’s read: Teal Minion, you will be working under Poison Ivy. Come out into the hall and you will be transported to your new quarters. So Julia walked out to the hallway where her friends were waiting for her. "Hi guys," she said, "who are you two assigned to?" "I’m assigned to work under the Leopard," said William. "And I’m assigned to work under Rabies," said Gregory. "I’m assigned with Poison Ivy. Well, good luck guys. It was nice working with you and I hope we can see each other again soon," she said, playing out her part. Then three holes came in the ground and they fell through. When she landed, Julia found herself in a small room, bigger than the one she’d been in before but still pretty small. Other than being just a tad bit bigger than the other room, this room was the same as the other; it had a bed, a dresser, and a door that led to a very small bathroom with just a toilet, a sink, and barely enough room to walk. "Like your room?" Startled, Julia turned to see Poison Ivy standing in the doorway, "It’s fine, just fine." "Good, I’d hate to have problems with my newest minion, especially after seeing your test results, pretty good." "Oh, I’m sure that I won’t give you any problems." she said. I’d like to though… "Good. Breakfast is served at 9 o’clock sharp; don’t get there at 9:05 or you won’t be having any. Same with lunch and dinner; lunch is at 12:30 and dinner at 6. Unless you are on an assignment, you will only have contact with other minions at meal times. No going into any office without permission, and if we catch you doing any of these things you’ll live to regret it. Other than that, you can do whatever. There’s a computer in your room with limited and monitored internet access." And with that, she left. Julia sat down on the bed. Okay, what to do now? I’ll call the others later to see if our radios are jammed or not. I wish the computer wasn’t being watched. Oh wait, the left glove of my wolf-suit has a computer, I can use that! She grabbed a small device from her pocket, a camera and bug detector. She casually reached behind herself and appeared to scratch her back, while instead she was setting it down on the bed. After about two minutes she reached back again, grabbed the camera detector and got under the bed covers. With the blanket blocking her from being seen, she looked at the results. There was only one thing in the room, in the computer and it wasn’t a camera. "Cap Flow." she said quietly. Her Wolf-suit came on and she took of the glove. "Cap Flow," she said again and her Wolf-suit came off, leaving the glove with her. She slipped the glove back on and turned on her Wolf Computer. After about an hour had gone by, she turned it off and hid the glove. Then she called her friends, "How’s it going?" "Pretty good," William said through his radio, "I don’t think that they suspect anything." "Same here," she heard Gregory say, "What should we do?" "We need to meet somewhere, soon, say at the next mealtime?" she asked. "Okay, we’ll meet you there." Gregory said. "We can eat slowly and be the last ones there, then we can head to wherever." William said. "We should contact Robin and White Wolf and ask her to hack in and find out where the computer central is." Julia said. "All right, I’ll do that and call you guys with the info." Gregory said. "All right, Teal Minion over and out." "Gray Minion over and out." William said. "And Red Minion over and out." Gregory said. ____________________ Julia walked by the counters that held the food in the kitchen; but food wasn’t really the right word, more like slop. Maybe not that bad, but that should give you a clue. Plus, after every foot of food there was a basket with cigarettes, booze, cigars, and who knows what else was in them. She just skipped on by those places. With a plate only half-full of the stinky food, Julia looked around for her friends. She didn’t see them so she walked over to an empty table and sat down. Cautiously, she brought the food up to her mouth. It wasn’t bad, but that was because it was bland, no taste at all. "Hey you!" she heard a voice behind her. Julia turned around to see a big minion in a green suit. Not fat, but muscular and massive. You wouldn’t want to line up in football across from him! "Me?" Julia asked. "Yeah, you!" he growled, "You one of the new minions?" "What if I am?" Julia asked. "Then I’m going to teach you who’s in charge!" "Then I am new!" Julia said standing up, "Bring it on!" Green Minion looked surprised at her reaction; but he quickly hid it with a determined snarl. Other minions started backing away, leaving Julia and "Mr. In Charge" alone. He lunged at her and Julia jumped up on top of a table and leaped up swinging her leg out, kicking him square in the shoulder. Any normal person would have gotten knocked over by this attack, but it just made him fall back a few steps. He swung at Julia, who ducked from the blow and kicked again, aiming for his face. He stepped back, easily evading the kick. She moved closer to kick again, but he beat her to it. The force of his kick sent her far back into the crowd that had gathered to watch the show. As she got back up, she noticed some Legion members, Two Face and Harley Quinn to be exact, just watching the fight, not doing anything to stop it. They even seemed to be enjoying the show! Fine, I’ll just have to win the battle myself! It shouldn’t be too difficult! She ran out of the crowd and leaped up, flipping over her opponent. After she landed, Julia got down, flung her leg out, and swung, knocking his legs out from under him. Once he was on the ground, she jumped out at him; but he rolled over so she missed him. They both got up. He just stood there for a second, but Julia didn’t want to let him have the first attack. She lunged at him and punched him in the face. Twice. He quickly recovered and sent out a punch of his own, hitting Julia in the shoulder. It hurt, but she wasn’t about to back down, and she kicked, hitting him in the stomach. He buckled over just long enough for Julia to swing at his head. With her TT training, she had learned right where to hit someone’s head to knock that person out, and that’s just where she hit him. He fell over on the ground, knocked out cold. Julia slowly, casually walked back over to her table and sat down to finish her food. Slowly, the crowd went away, and her friends came out to join her. "Pretty impressive, Teal," William said. "Yeah, when we came and saw what was going on we were prepared to go and help you out, but you pretty much had everything under control." Gregory said. "Thanks guys." Julia said. She looked around to see if anyone was close by. Seeing that no one was, she turned to her friends and whispered, "So, Red, did you get the info?" "Yep," Gregory whispered, "it’s not all that far from our rooms, I can lead you guys there when it’s time." "Good," William said, "but I think that we should wait a day or two before we do it." "I don’t want to stay here any longer then I need to." Julia protested. "It’s our first day, though. They’ll probably be watching us more closely." William fought back. "I agree with Grey," Gregory said, "and that makes it two to one. We wait." "All right," Julia said, "You guys won, I guess it makes sense to wait at least a day…" "Two days." Gregory said. "Three." William said. "Fine, three, but no more." Julia said. "All right." They finished their lunches and got up to head back. Julia looked over at Green Minion. He was standing and glaring at her. She just smiled at him and looked away. Who’s In-Charge now? ____________________ Green Minion only bothered her once more. At dinnertime, that same day, he had come at her, ready for a rematch; his hands were out in front of him so as to grab her. Julia turned to face him, waited for the last millisecond and ducked out of the way, pushing his hands away with her own. As he went past her she turned and pushed him hard. He tripped over her leg, which she had stretched out as she ducked, and her push sent him to the ground. He glared at her from the floor, but she just ignored him. He didn’t bother her again. ~Wolf Woman http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/WolfWoman/720989/ Wed, 26 Aug 2009 15:24:00 -0500 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/WolfWoman/720989/
