It was dark, i remember, but around me everything was moving i could hear it and feel it. The mask that i wore to keep me breath was the only thing that kept me alive. I could hear all the glass breaking, and suddenly i felt a stinging on my skin, as i looked up i saw chemicals, pouring into the test tubes. My water was infected. I needed to get out. My little five year old fists banged on the glass tube around me, nothing was helping. I couldn't get out, suddenly a large movement occurred it sent my tank flying, and it crashed to ground and broke open, and i tumbled out, water gushed onto the floor,and glass surrounding me, i grabbed a lab coat that had fallen near me. It was huge compared to my small frame. And I ran, even with the glass that tore at my feet, i ran out of The Labs. The only 'home' i had ever known, but i was glad. It was not home, i was a creation, nothing but an experiment.

one year later- I remember when i got my powers, or at least i learned how to use them. I accidently sent my adoptive parents garden on fire, but they hadn't minded.
I had only lived with them a few months, when we went for a walk in the park i remember, my mom, Mimma thought i would like to see a shorter way home and Dad, Leo agreed, so they took me through a grove of trees that i had never seen before. We ran through it when a voice made us stop. It came from behind us.
My parents spun around and glared,but backed away, there stood a man with a gun.My parents froze, the man demanded nothing, and two shots were fired. i know i screamed, and even though i did, the shots rang in my ear, my mind made me slip to the floor dazed. Suddenly a shadow appeared above me. From the minute i saw the cape i knew.It was Batman. I sat there dazed, as Batman brought the man to his knees. Soon the man was tied up and Batman turned to me, he began to walk over to me. At first my first instinct was to stay and let him come. I had been a JLA fan for all i could remember. In fact, that's all i ever watched at The Labs and even with my adoptive family.

But then my body got another signal, and i ran, i had no idea to where, but i did.I heard his voice one last time, at first i wasn't sure i heard the words right but i believe he said, "wait, don't leave."

I was seven now, and i had learned to track robbers from streets, and follow them around without notice. I wore all black, and acted to old for my age.People who saw me in regular clothes thought so anyway.
I would love to watch as the JLA swooped down and helped. Then one day on my eighth birth day something interesting happened.
Batman and the Flash brought an old friend on the mission i was tracking. It was Green Arrow. And with him was a boy, he looked older than Kid Flash and Robin. Both younger boys I had seen with Batman and Flash. I watched them foil a robbery with hostages by Captain Cold, poison Ivy and Count Vertigo.
I was so happy when they wrapped it up, until i saw Poison Ivy escape. She ran into an alley and i ran after her. In my mind i knew i had no plan, what in the world was i gonna do to stop this plant sorceress?
I finally caught up to her, and jumped in her way. She paused for a moment before she smiled, "Which sidekick are you, i thought there were only three." I smiled as plan formed in my mind all of a sudden.
I smiled back, "i ain't no side kick." She waved her hand and grabbed at my wrist with a root, "So your one of us?" She had let her guard down just a second, and it was all i needed. I jumped at her and the root was gone from my hand, "Never said that either did i?" I surprised her but she used a tree to grab my arms, sadly for her, i could control all earth, and the tree instead grabbed her. I whacked her in the head with my shoe and knocked her out. Suddenly a shadow creeped over me.
I looked up and stumbled back, it was the Sidekick that came with green Arrow. He glared at me through the domino mask, "Hey, what are you doing?" I knew i shouldn't have said it but i did anyway. "Doing your Job." and began to back away into the closest shadow range.
I heard footsteps behind the Sidekick and i kicked it into high gear,and was gone.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After that incident i started hearing about more and more sidekicks. Soon enough years passed, and the sidekick where older teenagers now, and so was i.

I longed to be on the new team that the Justice League had created but i knew it was just a dream. Or was it?
