3 Chapter 3

          The next day I wake up at 6:30am getting up as I go to the bathroom to wash my face and hands before going downstairs for breakfast. Thinking back on everything it all is like a complete dream to me more so of a blur. Sebastian got up coming downstairs sitting at the table rubbing his head.

" Sebastian what's wrong?" I ask reaching over putting my hand on his shoulder.

" My h-head" he says holding it.

          He seemed to have a headache, so I passed him a pill from the bottle on the table. He takes one drinking some water before putting his head down for a moment as mom ask him what was wrong setting our plates down in front of us. He shakes head explaining that he just didn't get enough sleep last night. I looked over at him wondering if his headache was an effect of what that mystery guy did to us last night as I ate my food. He starts to eat not seeming to have any change in how he was feeling, so he excuses himself from the table going upstairs.

          I get up following behind him as he goes into his room closing the door. Once I get up stairs I lightly knock on the door asking for him to let me in. He at first denies my request, but after asking two more times he finally let me in. I walk in asking if there was anything I could do for him, but he tells me no.

" Maybe this is apart of the change. That guy did say in twelve hours we will start noticing change" he says.

" Right he said change, but not any additional pain prior to it tho besides it hasn't been twelve hours yet"

          Unknowing of what was going on, me and Sebastian decided to ignore it for now, but if things got worse, then we would go find and question the guy. I left out of his room telling him to just get ready for school as I walk across down the hall to my room. I close the door and went to my closet pulling out my school clothes. I walk out of my room downstairs as my dad stops me asking if I was sure I could go to school and I answered him saying yes.

" Don't worry dad I'm fine." I say to him smiling.

" Alright sweetheart, but if your not feeling good after all then just call your aunt and she will come and get you" he says.

" Auntie Lisa? I thought she was in star city?"

" she was, but she said that there was too much going on for her liking"

I look at my father in curiosity, but didn't speak anymore on the topic as I call out for Sebastian to hurry up so we could go. He comes downstairs with his book bag in his hand and dad grabs his keys as we head out.

~Kate POV~

          I soar through the skies doing my daily patrol thinking to myself of everything once again that has happened over the course of just a day.  Everything was fine, but felt all far from normal. I didn't know why, but I couldn't shake the feeling of something was soon to come. I get to school going through my usual route through a hidden window behind the trees into an old storage unit of the school. I change into my school clothes heading to my locker. Once there I grabbed my books out walking to the front of the building to the stairs as I see the same girl and boy I ran into just the other day in the hall get dropped off.

          For some reason I slightly smirk as I think back to myself what they names were and that's when I remember the name Madelyn.  I made my way to my first period class. Once the bell rang I took my seat as the teacher asked us to open our books to one of the larger number pages and start reading and then write a summary on what we read. After  I finished with the reading I started to write my prompt as I glanced out the window for a moment. I look up at the sky into the clouds narrowing my view down some to see supergirl looking down at me as I smirk. I went back to work taking my time to write my response as the teacher called twenty mins before we moved on to the next assignment. Some time later the bell rang and I went into the hallway looking for the brooks kids.

          I found one of them as I walk up speaking politely:

" Um hey remember me?"

" Oh hey, it's Kate right? Your a senior" Madelyn says.

" Yeah, I saw you earlier, but I just wanted to apologize for how I acted the other day. Are you okay?"

" Yeah, I'm fine and don't worry about it. We were moving a little fast and could've watched where we were going." She replies.

          I slightly smile kinda awkwardly not knowing what to say as I realized the bell was about to ring in a minute.

" Oh uh well I'll see you around I got to get to class."

" yeah me to-" she says as she was about to storm away slightly bumping shoulders  with me and I felt a surge of energy pass through me as I stand stunned looking at her as she looks at me.

" Shot! Sorry I didn't it again" she says embarrassed.

" N-No uh it's fine."

          She stressed again she had to go as she rushed to class and I do the same thinking to myself that I never had an interaction like that before. It was almost like we shared a spark of cosmic energy in that instance.

" No way, but in order for that to be-" I thought to myself as I walk into class just after the bell ring. As class started I looked down at my desk twisting and turning my pencil in between my fingers. The teacher starts to write on the board a list of formulas we would need for a game we was going to play later on in the week. I was so bored hoping that something could happen already, so I could rush off to the rescue. Knowing that wasn't going to change magically happen I decided to sit and listen. Moments before the class was about to end I reached under my desk to get my books as I started to sense something in the air.

          I look around as my eyes started to slightly glow, but only in the reflection of the light as I sensed something or should I say someone near who was bursting with cosmic power. The only thing was the energy surge was too close to be in just the area that's when I realized it was inside the school.

~Madelyn POV~

          It was almost the end of the period when out of nowhere when I moved my legs to the side about to get up I felt a sharp pain in my chest. I groan as I look up around me and everything started spinning making me a bit dizzy. The teacher asked if I was okay and at first I didn't respond as the pain got worse.

"U-uh yes I-I'm fine. Thank y-you...just my chest hurts a bit"

          Trying hard not to panic  in front of the other students I didn't understand where this sudden pain was coming from as I gripped my head clenching my eyes shut. It wasn't until I looked up realizing my vision had changed colors I knew that it was happening. I was changing, but why now this wasn't a good time for it to be happening. As soon as the bell rings I storm to the hallway almost stumbling over my own feet when Maggie walked up catching me in her arms.

" Madelyn what's wrong? Are you sick again!? We have to get you to the nurse." She says as I gripped her wrist telling her no.

" I don't need the n-nurse. I need you t-to help me find my b-brother"

          She looks at me confused as she nods and we make our way to a private storage unit on the first floor. Once there Maggie pulls out her phone texting my brother and a few mins he hasn't responded as I start to groan in intense pain. I clench my head again before punching a metal box on the wall putting a huge dent in it. After that I stumbled to the floor trembling as Maggie kneels down holding me, but she could feel that my skin was slowly getting harder by the second. My eyes started to glow fulling now as my skin started to turn reddish.

" Oh my god! Madelyn what's going on? What's happening to you!?" She says worried holding my hand.

          I started to scream out in pain as I could hear the voices in my head start to come back speaking in a strange language.

" Aghhh! Make it stop! Please!" I cry out to the voices in my head as Maggie quickly got up rushing out the room to seek out help and my brother.

          I slowly started to crawl to the nearest object I could climb to stand, but I struggled to even move my muscles. It felt like my joints were locked and that my head was being smashed in with a hammer. My eyes felt like they were on fire and my nerves were all over the place. My body started to glow as I started to slightly hover off the ground. Feeling myself near my limit I scream out one last time exploding with energy bursting from my body sending a tide wave eruption through the entire area. I gasped for air as my body started to glow with cosmic energy surging through and around it. I was slowly starting to feel a little bit better, while my body was adjusting to the new feeling inside out.

~Sebastian POV~

          While in class I felt like something wasn't right because my arms and legs were shaking. My head was throbbing again, but this time it affected my balance. Unknowing what or why this was happening to me at first I asked my teacher if I could be excused for a moment. Once out I rushed to the private  bathroom down the hall locking the door and rushing to the mirror where I see that my skin was turning pale. My eyes were getting slightly red as my pupils started to fade away. I panic in fear feeling something calling out to me in my head. It was almost like I was linked to some realm because I started to hear the moans of death people. I groan to myself gripping my head as I started to visualize several riffs and portals open up from my mind.

         I could feel the strange power of the solar matrix inside me. I had gained the knowledge and insight link to the earth's core, to Mother Nature herself. This feeling was so incredible and overwhelming that I couldn't bare feeling the rush of it all at once as it started to tear my brain apart in the process. I scream out in pain as I couldn't move and the voices in my head got louder and louder. Trying to fight back the feeling of it all I finally realized what was happening and it was then I knew I had to find my sister.

        If I was experiencing the pain and change, then I knew she was too. The thing about it was that I didn't know what exactly was the change she was going through. As I stumbled down the hallway most students being in class and only singular few were still out across the halls. Trying my best not to seem displaced I pulled my jacket hood over my head searching Maggie. Wherever she was I knew Madelyn had to be close by if not right with her.

~Kate POV~

         I didn't know anything of what was going on. I didn't have the slightest clue to whether there was a threat within the building or just me sensing random things again, but I know I couldn't ignore it. As I made my way around the building I started to feel more and more sure of my strange feeling once it shifted to me sensing too large portions of cosmic surges from both ends of the building. It was at that moment a giant explosion erupted blocks away from the school, but it was so strong that it shook the ground. I stumble around dropping my books as I groan picking the books back up heading straight for the old storage unit.

          As bad as I wanted to figure out what was the strange sense of cosmic surge I got from the school, I couldn't stand by when things weren't right in the city. Unknowing of what caused the eruption out of nowhere or even the level of danger I was heading into I did a scan search of the area first. I got suited and zipped out to the skies, I went straight for the destination of where the explosion happened. Once there I was devastated at one I was looking over. The entire area was neutralized basically turned to ashes. There was no civilians, no buildings, no cars or anything. Just a large cradle in the ground with the destroyed ruins scattered everywhere.

" N-No! W-what is this!?...Who would do something like this!?!"

         The question now lied who was the one responsible for this mass destruction and why. I slowly made my way down to the ground as I searched the field of ruins. I couldn't find a trace of anything. No hair samples, no possible trigger for the explosion, and not even a cosmic reading anywhere. It was then a blue light imploded from a building near by where people were running from screaming out in fear as a bunch of gas leaked out onto the streets and into the sky around the area. I didn't know what was going on, but I had a bad feeling about it.

            I quickly fly over seemingly unaffected by whatever the gas was leaking out from a building that was wrapped in and out in a large moving tentacle plant nest. I was caught off guard slowly approaching the window when I heard a loud screech sound vibrate from below me. I look around searching for what thing made the sound as then the ground comes bursting open. A swarm of underground monsters start to climb up onto the surface. I quickly launch down knocking the creatures out one by one. I tried my best to fight them off and keep them from spreading to more parts of the area, but it was too many.

          I started to send out a distress signal to the other heroes when one of the creatures jumped onto my back biting into my shoulder and I scream out in pain. I started to feel a little woozy, but still was standing my ground. I flow up high turning blasting all of them with my psionic energy waves. For a moment I thought I had did it, but when I zoomed in on what was happening I could see the creatures remaining limbs were regenerating the rest of its body. 

" Oh you got to be k-kidding me"

          A larger swarm of them come charging at me as it was now climbing up buildings to attack me. I guard myself as they all jumped out at me one by one soon knocking me out the air back to ground level.  It was at that moment, a gigantic fire ball comes crashing down exploding

On me. I struggle to stand on my feet as the creatures all around paused for a moment. I looked around confused as a girl came out the dark alleyway as I didn't know who she was or what he wanted.

" who are you!? And what do you want!?"

" I am Vanity and I've come to rain fear to this place." She responds.   

" Well then vanity sorry to rain on your parade, but I can't let you do that?"

" Funny how you think you can do anything to stop me. Last time I checked your nothing more than a masked wanna be supergirl. " she said faintly.

"You know your not so high quality yourself!"

" That's where you're wrong. I'm a storm of terror. You just have yet to witness it first hand sweetheart" she said giggling raising her hand.

" I don't plan to find out either!"

          The girl frowned not enlightened by me at all as she comes rushing at me shooting ice beams that formed into shards. I quickly swing my arm tearing through each ice shard she threw. Once she got close enough I jumped up spinning kicking her in the back of the head sending her flying into a building. Soon afterwards, the building explodes with icicles shooting out as she comes out angry and ready to go at it again. Before I could get a word out she disappears into the shade reappearing behind me grabbing me starting to incase me in an ice armor where I couldn't move. She stands in front of my frozen body placing a hand on me as she has her shadow gloom under me and start to devour me into a pit of darkness.

           Lucky enough I was able to use my bear strength to brake part of the ice and knocking her back as I blast the rest off me. I grit my teeth slightly as I went charging at her full speed punching and kicking her knocking her back into a corner before sending her flying up in the air. I trail behind her speeding ahead to hammer her back down smashing into the ground. I breathe heavily as I started to realize my body temperature was slowly dropping causing my skin to feel really cold and numb. As I started to descend from the air, I got shot with an electric trap rope taking me down to the ground as I scream out in pain. I tried using my bare strength to tear through the rope, but it didn't work.

          Whatever the rope was made out of it was keeping me from using my powers and basically cut off from my cosmic energy. As I look up I see a strange figure hovering over me as it started to laugh. At this point the gas that was left all around was starting to wear on me making me start to lose consciousness as the last thing I heard was:

" Let the sequence begin! Hahahahaha!" Guy with green hair and white skin say.

" J-Joker!?..."

~Madelyn POV~

          I had a bad feeling that something wasn't right and i knew it the moment the gigantic explosion erupted just not too far from our school area. Being convincing as I am I managed to talk Sebastian into going over to check it out and possibility help out. Making our way over to the sight we came across people running and scream along with others who seemed to be walking zombies almost like they were under a spell. We got closer to the sight as we took the shadows seeing a big overly muscular man with a tank of green oz on his back was tearing stuff up and destroying cars. Along with him was a guy who looked like tiger with very look claws.

          I looked over at Sebastian as he shook his head refusing to go with what I was trying to say.

" No! I'm not doing it!" He whispers.

" come on Sebastian we have to"

" we don't even know what exactly we can do. Let alone how to even trigger or control them. No!" He responses.

          Just then something came up from behind pushing us out onto the side work and street as a woman in a green outfit laughed walking toward us.

" well we'll look what I found. boys come here. I got a gift for you" she smirks evilly.

          The two guys aggressively approached us demanding to know what we're doing around such a dangerous area like we was. I snarl at one of them telling them that they would be real sorry about what they were doing if someone were to stop them. They all laughed as the tiger looking one grabbed me by my arm lifting me up as Sebastian yelled for him to let me go. The muscular one grabbed my brother throwing him across the ground. I grit my teeth as the fang mouth tiger guy growled at me and the lady moved closer to the point she was almost nose touching me.

" So what's your name little girl"

" Madelyn."

" Well my name is Enchantress. That's Bane and this strong man holding you up is Sabertooth."

           I look over at the one she called Sabertooth as he smirked demonically at me as I shook a little at the sight of him.

" Tell me something. Have you ever felt fear before?" She ask.

" Of course I have, but too bad your not on the list of things I've feared."

         She chuckles for a moment leading in whispering in my ear:

" That's where you're wrong. I am the definition of fear girly and I'm going to prove it by taking control of your brother" she smirks zipping over to Sebastian.

" No! Stop!"

          She puts her hand over his cheeks as she started to fire his mind using her magical power as he screamed out in pain. I gritted my teeth more as I swung my legs up kicking the guy in the face as he released me and I dropped to the ground. It was then a voice called out to the lady and the two guys.

" Enough! We didn't do all this to be distracted by simple minded children's now did we?" A woman with green skin and a living planet on her shoulder says.

         I look over enchantress let my brother go and he fell back losing consciousness. Enchantress snare softly to herself seeming annoyed at ivy telling her what to do.

" Fine Ivy whatever you say" she says.

" Who are you people! And why are you doing this?!"

" We are the ones who are going to show once and for all who run this world because we can and we want to. Besides not like anyone is going to stop us. I've yet to see any of your towns beloved heroes come to save the day...I mean beside one, but she ultimately failed" Enchantress spills.

         Just then a burst of flames erupted behind them as another man comes crashing down saying:

" Alright I've manage to ignite enough flames to burn all around the city main streets leaving a message for our heroes"

" Good work Invictus!" white paint face man says stepping from the shadows with a net that seemed to have a body in it.

" Joker. Did you place the bombs like I asked you?" Invictus ask.

" of course I did just say the word and I'll have them detonate at once." Joker responses as he nod.

          I was horrified as my attention went from them to the net joker left In the shade as I sense a dying energy surge come from it.

" Whose in that net!?" I ask with a bit of shake in my voice.

" Oh that's no one important, but she is going to be our guest so it would be rude of me not to let her say hi to you all" joker says in a joking matter.

        With that said joker made his way over to the shade area the net was at telling someone not to even try getting up before lunging at them with a pole off the ground. After moments of hearing him beating something with the pole he found on the ground he knocks it out of the shadows. Only for the thing he was beating turned out to be Alaska girl all bloody up and suit slightly torn apart. I cover my mouth with my hand as I couldn't believe what I was looking at. The sight of it gets worse when she comes to trying to get up and I see one of her eyes wasfully red as the other was slightly swollen.

" Alaska Girl! Please stop! Let her go!"

" R-R-Run! You have to go!" She cries out as Sabertooth slashed her in the back tearing her suit more as she screams out in pain. She fall over helpless as I could sense her energy demising by the minute.

" I said Stop!....Stop it now!!!"

         At that moment something snapped in me as my body starts to glow and so did my eyes. Everything around me broke apart shattering as I dash at them all throwing punches and kicks in every direction. I managed to land a hit on the ones called ivy and Sabertooth. Once I sent them flying backwards I turned spinning kicking joker in across the face and creating energy blasts from my hand sending Invictus flying. Alaska girl for a moment watched in pure shock. Band stared me down as he flexed his muscles charging at me I put my arms up embracing the impact as he had me slide backward. Before I was able to attack back Enchantress blasts me from behind and joker throws tiny bombs at me as I go flying back smashing into a car.

            As they all started to surround me I could slowly feeling my power fade since I still was freshly new to them I couldn't maintain my energy surge. As I started to feel powerless as always, while also being out numbered I felt that it was the end for me, but before they could make a move on me a portal opens up under me sucking me in. Everything was black for a moment before I got spit out away from all the bad guys only to look over to see my brother awake again with mystic aura surrounding his hands.

" Run!" Sebastian yells helping me up as he takes my hand and we started to run. They all started to chase us and soon after a girl appeared from under the shadow of a girl cutting us off as fall backward to the ground. We back up slowly getting surrounded again as out of nowhere a smoke ball was thrown from above causing all of us to be blinded for the moment. Me and my brother were grabbed by someone who teleported us to the top of a building and when we looked up we realized that it was the teen titans as they asked if we were okay.

" yeah we're fine. I can't believe it you guys are the teen titans!" I say excitingly.

"Yeah and you two need to get out of here. Starfire get them somewhere safe" robin says as she nodded picking us up as we hung on to her.

" wait we can help out. We're just like you guys!"

" Sorry this is no place for kids" cyborg says looking over at us before him and Robin jumped down to engage.

         From out the sky we see beast boy charging down changing from a bird to a gorilla smashing down into bane. Raven was battling the one called vanity. Before starfire was able to fly off we were stopped by enchantress who blasted starfire into a building as we almost fell to our death but I got Sebastian grabbing on to the ledge of the building pulling us back up. As all the titans were engaged in battle with everyone we couldn't help, but watch as we didn't know what to do or how to help. Slowly watching each one of them fall quickly in defeat the only one left was raven and robin.

           In a desperate attempt raven floats up using her magic to have us transported away from the area so we couldn't get hurt as she turns back seeing robin get smashed into the ground out cold.

" Robin! No!" Raven says floating down to him as she check the others as no one was responding.

" Well that was boring. Batman put up more of a fight then you robin " joker says disappointingly.

" You actually thought you could stop us!" Bane laughs as raven growled at them all.

         Sabertooth went over to grab Alaska girl by her hair dragging her over.

" Is that?!" She says staring at the body of Alaska girl.

" Who this old beat up thing? Don't worry about we'll take good care of her. Just leave a message for old bats and his cape friends. We won't stop until we have taken everything over including the justice league." Joker says chuckling evilly standing forward to raven.

" Let Alaska go now!" Raven demands as vanity blasts her from afar with a bunch of ice shards seemingly annoyed.

" you don't get to call the shots cloak girl" vanity growl.

" Enough! We came to set a statement. You'll get your chance. It's only a matter of time before phase two" poison ivy says.

" You'll pay for t-this!" Raven says as she whisk the other titans away, while using her titan communicator to signal out to the justice league before falling over passing out badly injuries still with shards stuck into her body.

          Before the group of villains vanish off with Alaska girl Invictus signal joker to let all his bombs go off as joker presses a button inside his jacket. It was then everything within a 100 miles radius started to blow up causing the entire city to go up in flames buried in ruins everywhere.
