	Sitting alone on a bench at a baseball field in Midway City, Katie stares at the ground as she draws a shape in the ground with her foot. Yesterday she was suppose to go to some mansion to join a team of sidekicks as a sort of stepping stone to train and learn how to work together in an effort to become members of the Justice League. Sure, the idea seemed fantastical but in reality Katie didn't have any real desire to become a [i]'hero'[/i]. The only reason she agreed was because it gave her an opportunity to learn how to control what her new abilities were outside of lab situations. In her mind, the powers she was 'gifted' with were just a danger to those she cared about. She had to stay as far away as she could from her family in order to keep them safe from her. Yet, when she arrived in Midway City she felt unnerved at the thought of actually joining this so called team.

	She knew that someone would come looking for her since she hadn't shown up at all. She wasn't sure if she desired to be found or not. The prospect of teaming up with others her age in a similar pursuit was appealing but she'd be the most out of place. At least that's what she kept telling herself in order to make the thought of ditching the whole thing more desirable. She sighed audibly when she sensed the familiar levels of energy coming someone flying up behind her. "Katie, you made a promise that you would be there."

	Katie stood up turning to face her mentor saying, [color=yellow]"I know and I apologize. But is it really the place for someone like me?"[/color] Atom shook his head looking at the girl who had a power similar in likeness to his own. "Look, I know you've had a lot of change in the past few months, but if you don't move forward through the hard times then whose to stay you won't stay stagnate when it's easy. Take what life throws at you and turn it into something for your benefit." The man looked at Katie hoping that what he said conveyed the meaning he was trying to get across. Katie sighed again saying, [color=yellow]"Fine, I'll go to the mansion."[/color] Katie walked past the man waving bye before grabbing her bike off the fence and started peddling off.

[hr][sub]Some time later[/sub]

	Katie rode into the front yard of the mansion and leaned her bike up against the building. She walked up to the front door then, taking a deep breath, knocked on the door hoping that whoever answered wouldn't beangry with her for being so late.
