We stumbled into the Mission Room of Mount Justice where ব্যাটম্যান and Red Tornado were exchanging a silent conversation.
"B-Batman!" Red অনুষ্ঠান- অ্যারো rasped.
The Dark Knight turned around to look at us--a disheveled couple who just had the fright of their lives.
"Some girl in a green suit--" I began to say.
"Cheshire," Red added.
"I think someone's trying to assassinate me!" I ব্যক্ত finally.
ব্যাটম্যান looked uncomfortable. "Did আপনি try your best to keep your secret identity hidden?"
I nodded. "Why wouldn't I?"
He rubbed his chin. "Who else besides other superheroes know your identity?"
I thought for a moment, reviewing my fifteen years of life, and then finally, it hit me.
My family.
"I have to go!" I scrambled to get on my feet, about to fly back the way we came.
ব্যাটম্যান seemed to understand. "We'll follow দ্বারা bioship."
The flight back to my house seemed endless. All the way I thought about my mother, the only other Airbender in the family. She didn't deserve to die, nobody did.
Finally, I landed in front of our four bedroom townhome and ran inside.
I flicked on the lights. "Hello? Chris? Anna? Vicky?" I walked into the livingroom; the TV was left on. Jimmy Kimmel was signing off for the night.
Chris and Anna loved watching Jimmy Kimmel.
I heard a few noises behind me, but it was just ব্যাটম্যান and Red Arrow.
I flew upstairs and went into Victoria's room. The posters of Justin Bieber stared at me from the walls, but no signs of my little sister anywhere.
I went across to Chris's room, but he wasn't there.
Last but not least, was my room. Anna's nail polish was splattered everywhere, making the carpet crispy. The phone line was ripped from the jack--obviously Anna was using it at the time of the kidnapping.
I spotted a yellow sticky note stuck to the middle of my computer screen. I ripped it off and read it.
Nightfury, it read.
I'll be waiting at the docks with your family. I won't kill them IF আপনি come to me alone, no cops, no Batman.
আপনি have to be in your civilian clothes. So choose: Your family, অথবা your identity.
My hands heated up with fire, burning the note. I'd already made my decision. I changed into sweats and a tank top, then went downstairs.
ব্যাটম্যান was inserting some evidence into his utility belt, while Red অনুষ্ঠান- অ্যারো glanced at the family pictures above the fireplace.
"Where are আপনি going?" Red asked as I opened the front door.
I sighed. "I have to come alone, অথবা she'll kill them." And without another word, I flew away.
In a way, I knew she was going to kill me, but I had no idea why. I had this crazy feeling that I would see Mom again. If I died, wouldn't I see her, wherever she went?
I sighed, knowing my destiny now.

"You never want to do anything amigo!" Jaimie exclaimed. "Why did আপনি even যোগদান the Team?"
"The purpose is gone now." Revenge said, turning away. "If আপনি want me to leave, I will after this mission."
Jaimie stood shell-shocked. "Hombre, I didn't mean--"
"Save it, Jaimie." Revenge said. "Nightwing has a debriefing to do. I've got lives to protect."
The Black Hero jumped the building and was gone.

"How did আপনি come দ্বারা the information?"
"Private communication with Holly."
"She's still serving our purposes?"
"Yes."
