Felicia looked at herself in the mirror. Parker wouldn't be able to resist her in this outfit. Better than super girl. She was way better looking than that Kryptonian. She was the better choice for Parker. She would be there for him. She wouldn't ever leave him. Felicity was human. She didn't get why the alien was better than her.

She looked at her black cat, Amity, who was sitting on her bed. She sat down and pet the cat.

"Amity, I don't get why Parker is in love with that alien when the better choice is right here," she said to her cat. The cat meowed as if giving her an answer. Felicity laughed a bit. She was glad she had her cat. At least her cat loved her.

"I have to go out now Amity," she said to her cat purring a bit. She set Amity down. Felicia grabbed her keys and headed out the door. She locked up her door and then headed out. Where to go today? She could always improve on her thieving skills. Oh the little flea market would do good. Felicia made her way there.

Harley laid in her bed, curled up in a blanket. She was trying to get a few more minutes of sleep before her mother woke her up. But with her brain racing at a million thoughts a minute, she knew that wasn't happening. She thought about Ivy and Joe and everything going on in her life. She and Joe had been on and off, and Harley had no clue how she felt about him anymore. Then there was Ivy... Harley and Ivy had been best friends for years, and she felt like Ivy was started to get tired of something. Harley was too scared to ask though. Just as the thoughts started to drift away and she started to fall asleep, the loud banging on the door jolted her up.

"Go away, Ma! I'm sleeping!"

"Harleen Frances Quinzel! You get your lazy a** out of bed right now!"

Harley sat up, huffing and pushing her hair out of her eyes. It wasn't exactly the first day, but her mother insisted she get used to waking up early. Harley sneered at the thought of her mother, who only kept Harley in the house because she was scared. Sharon was awful.

"You'd better be out of bed!"

"Ma, I'm up! Go wake up Barry! He's a lazy piece of-"

"Harleen! You have no room to talk!"

Harley growled a bit. The only person she hated more than her mother was her brother. He was the laziest piece of s**t a*****e that Harley knew. She hopped out of bed, brushed her hair and got dressed. She laced her ponytails through black and red ribbons, muttering about her family to herself. Once Harley was ready, she stormed out of her room, refusing to look her mother in the eyes. She stomped down the stairs, out the door and into her car. She locked the doors so her mother couldn't try and yell at her more, then texted Joe and Ivy quick "morning!!! C:" texts. She laid back in the seat, sighing. Today seemed like it was gonna suck.

Steve ran around the track, trying not to make people feel bad. He'd woken up at 5am, and had been unable to fall asleep afterwards. Feeling antsy and wanted to move, he'd gone to the track to let out some energy. Normally he'd have gone to Natasha's house, but he figured she'd rather sleep than do anything else. He stopped running and sat on the bleachers near the track. He checked his watch, which said 9:00 am. He chuckled a bit. He'd been running for 4 hours then.

Steve looked around at all the people there, and wondered who they were as individuals. He did that a lot more often than most people. He sighed and stood up. Natasha didn't live far. He might as well pay her a visit. Steve blushed slightly at the thought of Natasha. He wasn't used to girls being interested in him, because he wasn't exactly a chick magnet before he got the super soldier serum. And after that, all the women he knew were too old for him. Then he was frozen in ice for over seventy years. The government thought it would be best for Steve to continue his high school career, which didn't make much sense to Steve but he did it anyway. Then madness ensued: Girls were all over him. But only one actually cared about him...

Steve stopped at the local supermarket before he went to Natasha's. He walked up to Natasha's door, knocking and hiding a bouquet of tulips behind his back.

Natasha Romanoff or the Black Widow or Tasha was doing pull ups. She needed the exercise. After she reached 200 she dropped back to the floor. The girl was always in need of exercise. She had be on top and alert. She was a spy after all. She wore yoga pants and a tank top. She decided a shower was well needed. She headed up the stairs to take a shower. She probably smelled. After her shower she got dressed. She dried her hair and then proceeded to continue on her way downstairs when she heard the doorbell go off. Who was here at this hour? Wait! Steve was here. She made sure she looked good. She glanced at herself in a mirror. She was wearing something simple. As if Steve cared.

She opened the door, "Hey Steve."

She noticed his hand behind his back. It was obvious he had something for her. A smile came across her lips, "Whatcha have for me?"

She was really curious. Steve was really sweet. She was glad she chose him over Tony Stark who was nothing but a playboy. She really didn't like that. It annoyed her. She studied Steve. How long had he been up? He had been up for awhile and been doing something. Natasha was too good at observations.

It was apart of her job after all. She was too good at it she supposed. But that didn't matter now did it? She had time on her side. For right now at least. She hoped Tony wouldn't bother her if she ever ran into him.

Anna Marie held out her hands. She hated them. She hurt anyone she touched. It terrified her. Her hands began to shake. She was still so terrified to touch other people. All she ever did was hurt people. A sob was in her throat. Anna Marie couldn't handle this burden. Why did she get stuck with it? Why couldn't she control it?

Anna Marie angrily smashed a vase.

"Anna Marie! You better clean that up!" her mother shouted from the kitchen.

"Of course mama," Anna Marie said. She got out the broom and dustpan and swept up the mess. Why did this happen to her? Why did the universe hate her? She cleaned up the mess and wipe her tears up with the back of her hand.


"Anna Marie, are you okay?" her mama's head popped out of the kitchen to see if her daughter was okay.

"I'm fine mama," Anna Marie said.

"I'm makin cupcakes you want one? her mama asked.

"Once I get back," she said to her with a small smile.

"All right Anna Marie, be safe darlin," her mama said. Anna Marie promised she would and then headed out. She had her house keys in her pockets. She was so terrified. She had to avoid everyone in town. It was for their safety.

Raven glanced at her phone. Of course it would be stupid to think that she would have a message. Especially from him of all people. Raven scowled a bit. She was stupid to think that she had a message. Why did she even think. Never mind it wasn't important. Mystique could shape shift into anyone she wanted. It was a fun power. She shifted into Barbara Gordon. Raven had seen him flirting with her. Psh. She shifted back. It was pointless. She ruffled her hair up.

"Great dressed up and nothing to do," she muttered to herself.

It was Sunday. School didn't start until tomorrow. She had nothing to do. She walked out of the room. She needed things to do. She was getting antsy and bored. She needed to be out. She locked up behind her and left. She was going to be out today. Despite her issues. She actually going to decide on what to do.

Kitty stared at the wall in front of her. She could do this. She took in a deep breath and walked through the wall. Literally right through it. Her mutant power was pretty unique. She was outside her house now. What should she do now? She tucked a piece of hair behind her ear. She couldn't believe school was going to start soon. She was rather excited.

I wonder who I'll run into today.


She was hoping to run into someone today. She was a powerful mutant, but there were more mutants out there who were way more powerful than her. But oh well. She was okay with this. She didn't mind being the not most powerful Mutant. Things were fought over that. Kitty hummed to herself. She felt like today was going to be a good day.

She liked good days. Bad days were never fun. She walked down the street. It was rather quiet though to be honest. Which she didn't mind. At least she wasn't paranoid here. She sometimes felt like something was off. But that was just her.

Ivy had just woken up. She literally slept surrounded by plants. Ivy loved plants. They were way better than humans. She sat up. She probably had to get up didn't she. Great. Humans were disgusting. Humans ruined everything. Humans destroyed plants as well. She hated humans a lot. But she also hated the Joker, because of how he treated her only human friend, Harley.

Suddenly her phone went off. She couldn't believe she even had one of these. Why did she let Harley talk her into this device again. She sat up. Her red hair fell over her shoulders. She looked at the device known as her phone. It was Harley texting her good morning. It made Ivy smile a bit.

She replied to Harley.

To: Harley
From: Ivy
Morning.

Kara looked at herself in the mirror. She thought she looked pretty good. Plus she was in her colors: red and blue. Well they were Clark and hers colors. Clark was her cousin who happened to live with them.

"Hey Kara!" Clark called. She wondered what he wanted. She could find out in a minute.

"Be there in a second!" Kara replied to him. She took out her phone and texted her boyfriend, Peter Parker, the guy she was head over heels in love with.

To: Peter
From: Kara
Hey (:

Kara headed down the stairs to see Clark there along with parentals. She smiled at them.

"I'm here now what's up?" Kara asked them.

"Would you come with me to do some errands?" Clark asked her. Kara rolled her eyes and agreed to go. Why did Clark need her to do that? He was a big boy and he could handle himself. She wasn't really wanting to go. But oh well. Maybe Peter would be out there.

"Come on Kara let's go," Clark said dangling the keys in front of her. They were going on a drive. She grinned at him and they headed out.

Steve rocked back and forth on his heels as he waited for Natasha. He was starting to get worried she was still asleep when the door opened. Smiling widely, he kissed her on the cheek.

"Hello, beautiful. Sleep well?"

Steve loved Natasha. He really, truly did. She was beautiful, intelligent, and just outright perfect in Steve's eyes. He didn't understand how he got so lucky. Forgetting that his arms were behind his back in the first place, he was surprised when Natasha asked what he had. He handed her the tulips, smiling a bit.

"Flowers. You, um...You like tulips right? I like them. They remind me of you... Simple but beautiful..."

He frowned slightly, realizing he just called her simple.

"But still more beautiful! And of course you're a ton more things than beautiful..."

He bit his lip, deciding to stop. He was making a fool out of himself.

Clark knew it'd be a difficult task to get Kara out of the house. She was so obsessed with Peter Parker. Which he didn't understand. Oh well. Kara was dressed in blue and red. That was their colors. Clark only had to dangle the keys in front of her to get her out. They were being sent out to get groceries.

"I have a list of things we need to get from the store," he said to his cousin. Kara rolled her eyes. Of course she would. She was hoping she would get to see Peter. But she did love car rides. It was odd.

Clark got in the driver's seat and Kara got in the passenger's seat. He turned on the car and made the drive to the store. It was a convertible and the top was down. The wind felt nice against his skin. Once at the store Clark got out and put the top back on it. Kara got out behind him.

"What do we even need here?" Kara asked him.

"Well milk, bread, and some other things," Clark said. He couldn't remember the full list. There was sausage on it for sure. Along with hamburger and other things. He had the list in his pocket along with the money. He'd dig it out later.

Selina was sitting in the bay window of her house. She watched as people went by in downtown. Her apartment was above a store. It was tiny, but she didn't mind it. She loved the bay window and the ability to watch people to go by. She noticed a certain Felicia slinking towards the flea market. Off to steal were we? Selina chuckled a bit.

Felicia was a thief just like her. But the difference was Felicia was obsessed with one Peter Parker. Who was currently seeing Kara. Selina was amused. This was quite an amusing situation. Suddenly the doorbell rang. Ah must be the store owner from downstairs. She made her way to the door.

"Miss Kyle!" she heard. Great. It was the store owner. What did she do now? Selina opened the door.

"Hello Austin," she said to the man. The man handed her mail.

"There's where my mail has been all week," she said taking it. She closed the door and returned to the bay window.

Barbara laid in bed, flipping through a book. It was a favorite of hers, called "Cress" by Marissa Meyer, and the third book in The Lunar Chronicles. Meyer was a fantastic author, in Barbara's opinion. Besides crime-fighting, reading was Barbara's greatest passion in life. She worked at the library during the summer, and owned shelves upon shelves of books. And she'd most likely read them all. While her father, Jim Gordon, didn't mind her night job as Batgirl, he much preferred her love of books. It kept her safe, and he didn't have to worry about another incident like three years ago.

As Barbara read her book, she sat perfectly still. No fidgeting, steady breathing, almost as if she was part of the book. She practically stopped breathing as Scarlet was kidnapped. Barbara related to Scarlet. They were very similar, and both had long read hair. And just as the chapter ended, her phone made a little "blip blip" noise.

Now who could that be...?

She marked her page and checked her phone to see Kate had texted her. Kate was a year older than her, but she'd made a name for herself as Batwoman. And even though Barbara had been fighting crime before her, she kinda looked up to the other redhead. All the text said was "did i throw a party last night or did I drink all alone?" Barbara chuckled and sent her a quick text back.

To: Kate
From: Babs
if you did, you didn't invite me.

Barbara sighed, and put her phone down, going back to her book. She knew how it went, as she'd read and reread it multiple times. But it was just so damn good.

Storm was reading a book. Harry Potter was the title of it. She had never actually read the books, but she had heard they were pretty good. So she was going to give it try. She was only on the first book though. Storm stopped for a minute. She picked up her phone and texted Jean.

To: Jean
From: Ororo
Hey girl.

Jean was her best friend after all. She continued to read the book. It was actually pretty interesting. She was in a world where powers did exist. For Pete's sake she was a mutant who could control the weather. It was very nice. She liked the rain. It was calm and peaceful. Then sometimes it was harsh and that's how she was like rain. Calm and sometimes forceful.
