Alex landed in her old backyard, staring back at the abandoned house before turning to look at the forest behind it. She sighed and shook her head, beginning the journey through it. "This is so stupid, he really is an idiot." The girl mumbled to herself, rolling her eyes as she stepped over decayed leaves and briars. Within a few minutes, she stood ankle deep in a pond, looking up at the small waterfall. Alex waded over and pulled herself up onto a rock, shimmying her way behind the wall of water. She pulled her hair into a high ponytail, staring at the metal door and keypad in front of her. "Well, this is blatantly obvious." She said and jumped up, grabbing the camera and tossing it over her shoulder. The girl took a deep breath and held her hands out, moving the metal door to the side. "And I don't think he realizes his sister can bend metal." She shook her head, heading inside.
Fletcher blinked in confusion, sighing and grabbing his cellphone. He dialed the number quietly and listened to the ringing before a voice answered. "Blake, I need you to come in, and I need a favor.." He walked over to the window, staring out of it.
"So you're taking orders from a teenager? I'll see what I can do.. After all, I do owe you one." Blake said, kicking his feet back up on his coffee table. Alex stood back in the doorway, arms crossed over her chest. "You know, Blake, you really should remember that your sister can bend metal.. After you like, threw me to the dogs." She hissed out. The male sighed. "I'll call you later, Fletcher.. I seem to have a pest infestation." Tossing the phone to the side, the male stood, turning to look at his sister. "Well, Alexandria, I didn't think you of all people would come after me. I haven't done anything in years, what do you want?" He asked, crossing his arms over his chest. "I need help, I want to blood bend." She said, staring back at him. "It's going to take more than a day, you know." He rose a brow. "I know, I've been practicing over a year, I just need to final pieces." He was silent before replying. "And, just what's in it for me?" Alex thought for a moment before replying. "I can get your name cleared, I know you want to live undetected.. I can get that for you." She breathed, taking down her hair. "..fine. Let's get started."
Scotty slid into Chris' vehicle, rubbing his hands together. "How far north are we now? It's cold.." He blew on his hands before holding them in front of the vent. "We're up past Maine, and it's dead of winter.. Where's Fang?" Chris asked, starting up the black car. "He said he would be here as soon as he was able to travel.." Scotty shrugged, looking out the window. "It's starting to snow.." He rested his chin in his hand and Chris pulled from the parking lot. "We need to rest for the night, there should be a hotel around here somewhere..." The older male looked around, narrowing his eyes. "How's your wife taking all this in? You being gone, I mean?" The fox leaned back into the seat, eyes glued to the white snow. "She's not too happy, but she understands." He sighed, pulling into another parking lot before turning off the vehicle. "And you..?" He asked, opening a door. "Lots of tears. Say, how did you manage to lose a white van?" Scotty teased, giving a toothy grin. "Shut it, fox! I ran out of gas!" Chris laughed, getting out. Scotty was soon to follow, ears perked up at the new scents around him. "You really can't control those ears can you?" He ducked when a snowball was thrown at him. "I don't wanna hear it! I can't help I was cursed with this!" Scotty whined before grabbing his duffel bag and trotting into the hotel.
Luckily I have a bunch of parts already written.. woo, we're getting there.

Scene 2:
"You are a good man." Barbara said once more, firmly.
"Thanks, Babs." Sam said softly, looking into the red-head's blue eyes. Barbara returned the gaze. Sam leaned forward and brushed a strand of hair put of her face. "You are one of the best people I have eve met in my life." Sam said softly. "I'm glad we're friends Barbara."
The red-haired girl smiled and leaned forward, pressing her lips slightly to Sam's. Sam reached one hand into her fiery hair and pulled her closer, deepening the kiss before breaking off and standing up. "We tried this before. It didn't work out."
"Yeah..." Barbara said, looking to the side. "Sorry."
"Me too." Sam said, slipping on his mask and jumping from the window.
Barbara took a deep breath and about a full sixty seconds before returning to her computer.

Revenge started towards the Bat-Wing, but Batman turned and held up a hand.
"Clark, go. I'll be there in a minute." the Dark Knight said. Superman nodded and walked aboard' one hand on Kara's shoulder.
"You can't come." Batman stated plainly.
"Why not?!" Revenge demanded.
"Because you're pushing Clark's temper and Wonder Woman forbade you from ever visiting Themyscira after leading Wondergirl into a trap."
"Clark's temper?" Revenge asked incredulously.
"The girl likes you too much."
"Of course she likes me." Revenge smirked.
"Exactly, and you're having a bad influence on her. Clark wants you to stay here. I personally think she needs someone like you right now, but Clark says no and he is her cousin."
"Alright, I'll stay here with Alfred."
"Don't ask for too many sweets." Batman warned.
"Why would I ever do such a thing?" Revenge asked, mocking shock.
Batman smirked and boarded the Batwing.
"Yo Alfred!" Revenge called. "Cookies!"
