Black Canary and I zigzagged our way through cross traffic, dodging the cars that skidded at dangerous angles. As we chased the annoying ice villain, my mentors motorcycle pulled a little ahead of mine. She used her sonic scream to trip the little ice boy, named Freezo, off of his makeshift snowboard. He fell into a quickly manifested snowdrift and was rubbing his head as I pulled up in front of him, Black Canary at my side. We had had run ins with him before, but nothing that had endangered the lives of so many citizens. Freezo was a little younger than myself, but that didn't stop his eyes from inconspicuously roaming up my body, clad in the ridiculous outfit Black Canary had personally chosen for my 'special' day. See, today was the day I made my first visit to the Hall of Justice along with a few other 'sidekicks', but we were going to be late if we didn't take care of this little pest quickly.

"Okay Freezer," I said in a bored voice, purposely saying the wrong name, "Lets get this over with." I let my eyes flow with the dark colored energy that emerged from my finger tips as I raised them menacingly in his direction. See, I'm a telekinetic. I can move and manipulate things by using a psychic energy that I control. Black Canary has also been training me in advanced martial combat techniques.

"Oh, Vyx. Be nice." Black Canary cooed. I groaned. Freezo took this moment to send a ice blast our way, hitting Black Canary before she could react, but only hitting a car I moved to use as a shield. Before he realized what I had done, I dove over the car and attacked him with a sequence of martial arts moves that left him incapacitated. Black Canary brushed herself off and walked over to the boy.

"Pretty good, but your not very centered. And you need to work on your precision when you attack. If he had had any experience, he could have hit you on a weak point." she said without looking at me. The sound of police sirens echoed through the tunnel.

"I'll make sure to work on that." I said, sighing, "Can we go now?" I asked expectantly. Black Canary turned and smirked at me, her blue eyes devious.

"I thought you said you weren't excited." she asked tilting her head.

I sighed again. "I said I wasn't excited about being the only girl there, and I'm even more unexcited now that I'm in this…" I said gesturing at the tight, low cut belly shirt, skintight leggings that disappeared into knee high boots, and the fingerless gloves that stretched past my elbows. The whole outfit was a combination of black and dark violet with silver trim. My older partner gave me a hurt look.

"You don't like it?" she asked handing the unconscious villain over to the police authorities. I pouted and crossed my arms as even the police swept their eyes over me. Black Canary may be used to this kind of attention, but I wasn't. But, I knew I would never live it down if I refused her today, so I conceded.

"Yes I like it. I'm just a little uncomfortable in this snow." I said walking swiftly to my black BMW F800R. I revved the engine and speed out of the tunnel, knowing B.C. wouldn't be far behind. I drove at a reckless speed, loving the feeling of the wind passing my (in my opinion) barely clothed body. It felt like a warm hug. B.C.'s voice interrupted my thoughts as she spoke into her head set.

"You shouldn't worry about it Vyx. You and I know both know you can easily pull this outfit off. You'll have those boys drooling. Plus, we both agreed the cape was getting in the way." I wasn't so sure. Black Canary was so promiscuous sometimes, though there was no arguing over the results. Most of the men in the Justice League, heck, many of the male villains we fought fell over themselves looking at her. I was never really comfortable in that respect, hiding behind a cape and hood. We pulled up to a stop light beside a building with reflective windows. I had to admit, mixed martial arts training with B.C. did come in handy. I had always been skinny, but my body had never looked this toned and tight before. I smiled inwardly and hoped I wouldn't make a fool of myself in front of the others. I had seen them before, in the news, on television, but I hadn't ever met them. My anxiety only increased when Black Canary had told me that she was going to try and set me up with Green Arrows sidekick, Speedy. I knew she was excited to see her old flame again, after the months of training me, so I didn't want to ruin her mood.

We arrived at the Hall to soon. I took off my helmet and flipped my long, blonde hair out of my face. It settled in waves around my shoulders and down my back. My black eyes flashed as what can only be called the 'Bat Mobile' pulled up beside mine and Black Canary's bikes. Black Canary came to stand at my side and whispered in my ear.

"Just be that bubbly, blonde chick that I love so much. The one who can make me laugh no matter what. And, the one who took down the group of seventeen gangsters on Wednesday." I giggled and tried to forget my outfit. If anything, I told myself, at least the guys couldn't ignore me, which would be way worse than the drooling. I looked at Black Canary, who in the past few months had become a friend and a sister to me rather than a teacher.

"Thank you for everything," I said giving her one of my brightest smiles, just as the doors of the Bat Mobile opened and closed. I turned and saw Robin and Batman standing before us. There was a moment of silence as Batman and Robin surveyed us. All sense of intimidation was lost when I saw Robin. He was a good two inches shorter than me. I smiled, instantly feeling better about the whole thing, and put out my hand.

"Nice to finally meet you." I said to 'the boy wonder'. He smirked and took my hand. Batman looked at me and Black Canary with his famous aloofness. I offered him my hand to, in spite of the overwhelming awe I felt. I had grown up listening about this mans heroic deeds. All I could do was bask in the awe as he shook my hand quickly, telling me that I was like a mini Canary. I grinned at my partner and asked Robin if he would show me his gadgets. He was more than happy to oblige. We spent about two minutes messing around with bombs, flying discs, and other weapons.

I was surprised when a deep voice resounded in my ear. "What is that?" it asked. I jumped slightly and turned to find a dark skinned boy who had gills in the side of his neck and dark, swirling tattoos on his arms. I had to look up to see his face because I barley reached his shoulder.

"AquaLad?" I guessed holding out the bat shaped boomerang to him. He took the weapon and turned it over in his hands curious.

"Yes, and your Vyx." he stated holding his hand out to me. I took it and smiled. He had kind eyes. The three of us went to stand by our mentors. I was really excited to meet AquaMan. I had seen him in person once when he saved my city from some kind of horrible sea monster. He was laughing at something Green Arrow said. Black Canary introduced me to them once there was a break in the conversation. As we stood on the hillside looking out towards the Hall, I couldn't help but notice as Black Canary pinched Green Arrows butt. I palmed my face in my hand and noticed Speedy shaking his head. I smiled at him, but he only gave me 'the cool dude head nod'. I rolled my eyes, and continued my conversation with Robin about why my bike was better than the Bat Mobile. Suddenly, a very bright streak of yellow came darting towards us. It stopped a few feet in front of me and said,

"Aww man, I knew we'd be the last ones here!" I recognized him as Kid Flash, which meant, yup red streak stopping next to him, Flash. Finally, we were all there! I was really excited to finally see the inside of the Hall of Justice. I had heard so much about it, but had never gone before, even though it is a popular tourist attraction. The ten of us walked past a crowd of publicity. I waved and smiled at the cameras, something I almost never do, but I realized, it was fun.

"I don't think they've ever had so many sidekicks together in one place before." Kid Flash commented posing with me and AquaLad for a picture.

"DON'T call us SIDEKICKS." Speedy practically snarled, "not after today." the masked archer was being to cool for school. I decided, he wasn't my favorite.

"Sorry," Kid Flash apologized, "I guess I'm just a little overwhelmed."

"Your overwhelmed, Freeze was under whelmed, why can't anyone just be whelmed?" Robin asked annoyed. Just at that moment, we walked through the main doors and were greeted by larger than life replicas of the Justice League. I elbowed Robin good naturedly.

"Maybe that's why." I said grinning. A door slid open under the feet of Superman. Martian Manhunter and Red Tornado stepped out and greeted us, taking us through a hallway and into a huge library. I immediately went to check out the collection of books.

"Make yourselves at home." Flash said and Robin, AquaLad, and Kid Flash took the only three chairs leaving Speedy to stand. He glared, but continued to listen to the heroes conversation. I became absorbed in a book called, Journey Into the Mind: Telekinesis and how it Works. All of a sudden, Speedy was yelling.

"Who cares which side of the glass we're on?" I put the book back with a sigh. Some boys were such girls!. He continued to get in Green Arrows face and nag about playing games and respect. I stood with my arms crossed, watching as Speedy destroyed what little status he had. Black Canary wanted to set me up with this hothead? Then he mentioned the Watch Tower. B.C. told me that was a secret, only the League was supposed to know about it, and now Speedy was spewing out its information. My eyes began to gloss over with suppressed energy, but before I had decided to do anything, Black Canary caught my eye. She shook her head, and I let the energy fade.

"You are not helping your cause here, son." Black Canary said lightly, but there was a warning in her eyes, "Stand down, or." she said.

"Or what? You'll send me to my room? And I'm not your son." Speedy spat back at her. Wrong move. I raised my hand, ready to fling that kid into a wall and make him apologize, but Bat Man caught my eyes and glared at me. I knew what he was trying to say, this was not my fight. Speedy was still going! He was in Green Arrows face again.

"I'm not even his. I thought I was his partner, but not anymore." and with that, Speedy threw his hat onto the ground, turned, and left.

" I guess they were right about you four. You're not ready." he said before heading out the door. The energy had just started to flow back into my body when a transmission from Superman came in saying that there was a small fire at a lab called Cadmus. I was so angry, I couldn't even marvel over the fact that the Superman was on screen, right in front of me. I continued trying to get my emotions and powers under control as another transmission came in saying that the ice villains had been planning something all along. Before I had time to realize what was happening, Black Canary was telling me to keep an eye on the boys while they were gone.

"Don't have to much fun." she said winking, going after Green Arrow who was clearly upset about Speedy.

"Wait, but…" they were already gone. There were a few moments of silence. I looked at the guys, trying to get over the fact that I had just been left. It hurt a bit. Black Canary knew I could handle myself. So, why was she treating me like a child?

It seemed that my fellow sidekicks had the same feelings. They ranted about being all grown up, whining how our mentors didn't trust us. I kept silent, upset, but respecting Black Canary enough not to deface her behind her back.

"What is project Cadmus?" AquaLad asked. I started to get a bad feeling in my stomach, the kind I get when I know I'm about to do something bad.

"I don't know," Robin said, then he smiled deviously, "But, I can find out." He went straight for the massive screen, typing at an alarming rate. I stood over his shoulder trying to figure out what he was doing. The screen beeped in warning and a female voice said, "Access Denied" Robin laughed as if it were a joke, and continued typing. "Access Granted" came from the screen, and it displayed images and files on the wall.

"You hacked the Justice Leagues computer?" I said, numb with disbelief.

"How are you doing that?" Kid Flash said in the same tone. Robin smirked.

"Same system as the Bat Cave." I put my face in my palm and stepped back as Robin told us what project Cadmus was.

"Solve there case before they do, it would be poetic justice." AquaLad said.

"Hey, they're all about justice." Robin replied. I massaged my temples, knowing this could only end badly.

"They said stay here." I reminded the guys.

"Yeah," Robin sighed, "for the blocking out the sun mission, not this!" Kid Flash's eyes lit up.

"Are you saying you're going to Cadmus, because if you're going, I'm going." he said to Robin, grabbing his shoulder excitedly. Them both guys looked at me and smiled. I looked at AquaLad and moaned my distress. We could get in so much trouble.

"Just like that, we're a team on a mission." AquaLad stated.

"We didn't come for a play date." Robin said nodding. They all turned to me expectantly, eyes hopeful. The bad feeling in my stomach increased. I sighed.

"Black Canary did tell me to keep an eye on you guys…" I said giving a nervous smile, "let me go get my bike."
