"Are we there yet?" I asked for the millionth time.
I heard Roy laugh beside me. "Nope, just a few madami steps..."
I glowered through my lead-covered blindfold. "You know, I'm starting to think that you're leading me off a cliff."
"Even if I did, you'd be able to fly away. Okay, you could take off your blindfold."
I happily unwrapped the cloth, my eyes set on the beautiful spring meadow in front of us.
"Roy, this is beautiful!" I took his hand and walked out into the blooming flowers.
His green eyes shimmered in the sunlight. "This is where I come to relax, all sa pamamagitan ng myself. And now you get to share it with me." He let go of my hand and laid on the blossoms.
I followed him. "Niiiiice."
He smiled. "This is also where I found out that there was a new Avatar, and so I set out to look for it."
"It?"
He rolled his eyes. "I didn't know if it would be a girl or boy, just an Airbender."
"But why did you look for me?" I asked.
He sighed, looking reluctant. "Can you keep a secret?"
"As long as Megan doesn't read my mind," I murmured. Looking at his face, I added, "So yes."
"When I first met Erica, I kind of had a crush on her."
And you're telling me this, NOW?!! "Go on," I sinabi through gritted teeth.
"But I knew she was with Robin, so I waited for an opening. And when she Nawawala her powers, I wanted to see if the susunod awatara would be anything like her."
"Am I?" I inquired.
He kissed my forehead. "You're even better. You're like the other half I've been trying to find all my life."
I needed madami to be satisfied. "Hmm?"
"Erica, tries so hard..." he sinabi slowly, "...to get people satisfied. Like she's afraid she'll mess up."
"And me?" I pressed.
He chuckled. "You don't care what people think about. You're open; you're never trying to hide your insecurities and problems." He looked at me warmly. "The first time I met you, I knew I had found that one person."
I put arm around him. "You're... that somebody, too. Whatever the hell that means."
"Look at us now. A guy who has nothing to look pasulong to in his life, and a girl who crashes into anything someone throws at her."
I smiled. "I think I like it that way."
The end.

The Clash-
SNEAK PEEK
"A biological attack has affected the greater part of New York City. A green fog rose from the streets this morning in downtown New York. Despite interventions of the Justice League & Young Justice, New York has been stranded from all help. Monsters are being formed from what we are told is 'Gamma Radiation'. But the main tanong everyone is asking is not "How will we save those who have been affected" Rather the tanong is: Where is New York's protector? Where is the Spiderman? And did he truly end the masked vigilante Red Revenge, now known as Samuel Grant?"
Should I publish?

Epilogue-
2 weeks later...
Artemis landed on the rooftop, bow drawn.
"Relax, it's me." Revenge said, emerging from the shadows.
Artemis cocked her head, but didn't let go of her bow OR arrow. "What do you want Revenge?"
"I've changed my mind." Revenge said. "I'll sumali the Team on one condition."
"What condition?" Artemis asked.
"You listen to what I have to say."
------------------------------------------------------
"Assassin."
"Master."
Cheshire bowed before Ra's Al Ghul.
"Your mission was a success?"
"Yes master." Cheshire handed her leader a disc which he inserted into a computer. "Holly's true loyalties were proven."
The screen behind Ra's Al Ghul lit up revealing a familiar face.
"And another of the "heroe's" identities belongs to...the Light."
