Mission 7/ Hard Learned Lesson
Marvin skated around the other students, whistling the tune from his head phones. He spotted Conner and M'gann walking up to the school. He changed directions and headed straight for them. "Hey! Konner, Megan!" He stopped and stomped on his board, flipping it up. He caught it. He noticed Conner carrying something; not something, someone. Cat rested on his back, piggy-back style. Her face was in the back of Conner's neck while her arms hung around it. "Who's that?"
"A friend of ours. She's starting here today." Conner shifted his shoulders as he slowly put her down. She rubbed her eyes in a daze. M'gann handed her a to-go cup of coffee.
"Sweet. I'm Marvin." He held out his hand to shake.
"Catherine Lord." She bowed her head and then yawned.
"You're not much of a morning person I take it." He chuckled.
"She usually isn't up before noon." M'gann laughed. At that moment Mal Duncan b

There was laughter in the air as families celebrated and enjoyed the many attractions of the cruise ship. March walked along the railing of the ship, looking out at the ocean as he spoke on the phone. "-and God, I wish you could see this view, Aly."
["I see the ocean everyday, March."]
"It's not the same. Swimming around in it under the surface, you don't really get to see how beautiful it really is."
["I guess it must be a bit different on the cruise ship."]
"Ha, maybe you should have come with me."
["I would have considered it but you're there on business."]
"Pfft. I literally sit around half the day and don't even give me that fake excuse."
["I know, March. I've just been so busy lately in Atlantis. I didn't even have time to go to the Hiatus lift meeting at SGPA."]
He leaned on the ship's railing. "I guess finding out you're Aquawoman's sister has taken up all of your free time."

"For just one measly dollar, you can get yourself the perfect view of the meteor shower!" Eddy's voice bellowed to the others as they crowded around.
"A dollar? What happened to a quarter?" Johnny asked.
"Jeez, what are you, in elementary school still?" he rolled his eyes.
I wouldn't call myself a genius.
"What's so great about this spot?" Kevin asked skeptically.
"Double D said it's the best place to see the evil space men attack planet Earth and claim it for their own!" Ed shouted dramatically.
"I did not say that! I said that based on the geography of our neighborhood and my calculations, this is the most suitable spot in the cul-de-sac for everyone to watch this once in a lifetime opportunity."
"Come on, Kevin. It sounds like fun." Naz elbowed him playfully.
"Fine." He rolled his eyes and gave in.
"Who brought the
Marvin skated around the other students, whistling the tune from his head phones. He spotted Conner and M'gann walking up to the school. He changed directions and headed straight for them. "Hey! Konner, Megan!" He stopped and stomped on his board, flipping it up. He caught it. He noticed Conner carrying something; not something, someone. Cat rested on his back, piggy-back style. Her face was in the back of Conner's neck while her arms hung around it. "Who's that?"
"A friend of ours. She's starting here today." Conner shifted his shoulders as he slowly put her down. She rubbed her eyes in a daze. M'gann handed her a to-go cup of coffee.
"Sweet. I'm Marvin." He held out his hand to shake.
"Catherine Lord." She bowed her head and then yawned.
"You're not much of a morning person I take it." He chuckled.
"She usually isn't up before noon." M'gann laughed. At that moment Mal Duncan brushed past seemingly in a bad mood, bumping his shoulder with Conner's and knocking the coffee cup out of Cat's hand.
"Hey!" Cat looked at her coffee which was now a puddle on the ground. He didn't stop or look back until- the coffee cup pegged him in the back of the head. "I was talking to you." Cat wore an annoyed expression that seemed to surprise Mal. "You see that?" She pointed to the puddle. "You knocked my coffee out of my hand and didn't even apologize." Everyone grew quiet, stunned.
"Uh, Cat-" M'gann started.
"No, it was my bad. I wasn't watching where I was going. I'm sorry." He apologized.
"See?" Cat smiled. "Simple. Apology accepted."
Mal laughed. "You're one strange girl."
"So you're the one Megan was talking about." The cheerleaders swarmed in an instant.
"Y-yes! I'm Catherine Lord." She stuttered nervously. She noticed Mal give Conner a dirty look and Conner glared back. "Stop that!" She covered his eyes.
"Cat?!" He moved her hands.
"Don't pick fights with people." She turned to Mal who had a devilish smirk on his face. "And you! Just because you're in a bad mood doesn't mean you should pick fights either." His smirk vanished.
"Well, I didn't expect such a lively new student." Mr. Car approached them. "Miss Catherine Lord, I presume."
"Yes." She bowed her head nervously. "Nice to meet you."
He placed his hands on her shoulders and made her stand up straight. He grabbed her hand. "It's nice that your formal and respectful but I'm not a king. You don't have to bow your head to everyone. A simple handshake will do."
She smiled and shook his hand. "Okay."
"Now I'm we can find someone nice enough to volunteer to show you where your classes are."
"We wouldn't mind." Wendy offered.
"Sounds easy enough. What do you have?" Marvin asked.
"Um…" She pulled the paper out of her pocket and unfolded it. They peeked over her shoulder.
"You have history and physics with us." Conner said as he glanced at her schedule.
"And you have Girls Athletics with us." M'gann smiled.
"Whoa, you're taking dance?" Wendy asked.
"Yeah, why?"
"The dance class is filled with some of the most high class, stuck up girls in the school. Believe me, girl. They can be vicious to new people." Karen said.
"Vicious?" She frowned.
"Don't fill her head with stupid information." Conner interrupted. "She'll be fine." He started walking towards the school building.
"Conner, wait up!" Cat followed him.
"She's following him like a puppy dog." Karen said as she raised an eyebrow.
She paused and looked back. "Megan, you coming?"
"She's sticking with the people she knows." M'gann ran to catch up.
"If you say so." Wendy sighed and followed.
"Teenagers." Mr. Car shook his head and followed them into the school.
Cat walked across the balance beam and then quickly back-flipped onto the ground. All of the girls, except for three, cheered for her. They gave her very observant and piercing glares. Cat blew it off. "Good job, Lord." The coach praised her. "Lang, get up there." One of the girls stopped glaring and walked towards the balance beam. She couldn't resist giving Cat a devious smile as she passed.
"Who's she?" Cat asked Wendy and M'gann.
"Maria Lang. She'll be in your dance class."
"She's one of the top dancers in the school."
"And-" Maria did a double back flip off of the beam. "She's also one of the best acrobats."
"She's pretty good." Cat clapped, surprising Maria. "What? Did I do something wrong?" She looked around.
"No…you must be the new student that everyone's talking about." Maria smiled. "Catherine, was it?"
"Uh-yes! Nice to-" She was about to bow her head but she stopped herself. "Oops! Mr. Car told me I don't need formalities."
"I don't mind. I think its adorable." Maria complimented. "I'll see you later, Catherine." Maria walked back to her friends who were giggling for some reason.
"That was… weird." Wendy said.
"I don't know. Maybe they like me." Cat said nervously.
"Hun, they don't like anyone who could take the spotlight away from them." Karen shook her head.
"Maybe…" Cat noticed the boys athletics class. They were playing soccer, Conner was the goalie. Suddenly the soccer ball went flying as someone kicked it.
"Watch out!" Someone shouted as it flew their direction. As it came soaring at her, Cat flipped and kicked it back towards them. She landed on her feet and turned to see Conner catch it. She smiled and waved, he did the same.
The guys stared at her as they gathered around Conner.
"Nice girlfriend you got there, Kent." A guy whom he recognized as Marshall said.
"Catherine's not my girlfriend."
"Oh, so you won't mind if I talk to her then?" He laughed and walked away.
"So who can tell me who JFK is?" Mr. Car looked around. Many hands were up except-"Catherine?"
"Uh- President John F. Kennedy."
"Can you tell me what president he was?"
"Uh- um." She frowned as she tried to think. "The 35th president. He was in office during World War II."
"Correct." He smiled and turned back to the board. "Now…"
'You didn't have to give me the answer.' Cat thought.
'He put you on the spot.' M'gann replied.
'I know but I really didn't know the answer.'
Later, after the bell rings-
"Catherine, can you stay after?" Mr. Car stopped her.
"O-okay." She walked up to his desk as the rest of the students crowded out of the room.
"I noticed you were having some problems."
"Y-yes. To be honest, I didn't know the second answer to the JFK question. Megan told me."
"Did she? Thank you for being honest."
"I have problems remembering things if they aren't numbers and symbols."
"I could tell. Mr. Kelly spoke so highly of you. He said you were one of the brightest students he's ever had in his physics class."
"He did?" She seemed surprised.
"Yes, he did. Maybe what you need is a tutor. Why don't you ask a friend to help you? And you can come in in the morning if you need any extra help."
"O-okay. Thank you."
"Anytime, don't be afraid to ask for help." he gave her a few words of advice as she walked out of the classroom.
Conner was waiting in the hallway. "You didn't have to wait for me."
"It's fine. I can tutor you if you want me to."
"Really? Thank you. That'd be nice." She smiled.
"Hey, Catherine." A girl walked up.
"Maria wants to see you in the cafeteria."
"It's about your dance class initiation."
"Okay." She shrugged and they followed her into the cafeteria.
"Yo, Conner!" Marvin walked up to him. Cat ran up to Maria who was waving at her.
"Hey, do you know what that's about?" Conner pointed to the crowd of girls around Maria Lang.
"Uh oh." Marvin frowned.
"Why 'uh oh'?" Conner asked. Suddenly the crowd jumped back as a bucket hanging from the ceiling dumped red Jell-o all over Cat.
"That's why 'uh oh.'" The cord of the bucket snapped and it landed on top of Cat. "Okay, that wasn't supposed to happen." The cafeteria erupted with laughter. "Something the dancers do to embarrass their new members but they've never dropped the bucket on someone before."
Cat lifted the bucket off her head and threw it. The sound reverberated as it hit the wall, silencing everyone. Her face was expressionless as she walked out of the cafeteria.
"What's her deal?"
Whispers spread through the crowd. M'gann frowned and looked at Conner who was furious. 'Conner, don't!'
'They humiliated her in front of everyone!'
'I know… but she doesn't want us to do anything.' She shook her head.
"She's right there, Mr. Smith." The secretary pointed to Cat who was sitting on the bench outside the office. She had her knees pull close to her chest, her clothes were stained red for the Jell-o. She was still expressionless.
"Thank you." He told the secretary as she walked back to her desk. He walked up to her, staying silent for a moment. "I brought the extra clothes you asked for." He looked her up and down. "What happened?"
She frowned and tears started streaming down her cheeks. "Humans are terrible creatures." He patted her on the head.
There was a knock on the door of the dance studio. Ms. Hart opened it. Cat was standing outside of the classroom with the secretary. After a few words at the door, Ms. Hart led Cat inside. She was slurping a milkshake.
"Class, this is Catherine Lord."
"It's okay, Ms. Hart. We've already met." Cat smiled at Maria and her group off girls. "Oh yeah." She snapped her fingers. She opened her cup and splashed the milkshake all over them. "My thank you for the initiation and the time it wasted for my uncle to leave work and bring me new clothes."
"Ugh! You-" Maria whined.
"You girls did that Jell-o thing again, didn't you?" She glared and they realized it, they were in trouble. She turned to Catherine. "I apologize. This is not how my class should act."
"It's okay, I repaid them in full." she smiled.
'Recognize, Black Cat. B.1.3. Recognize, Miss Martian. B.0.8. Recognize, Superboy. B.0.7.' They walked through the front entrance of the cave as it called out their I.D.'s. They met with Kaldur in the training room with Black Canary. Kaldur's attention deterred for a second and Canary knocked him to the ground.
"You should've stayed focused." She helped him up.
"We're home!" Cat announced.
"How was your first day?" Kaldur asked.
"Eh." Cat shrugged. "Black Canary, what are you doing here?"
"I heard you had some problems on your first day." Canary said with a curious glance.
"Red Tornado told you?" she frowned.
"All he mentioned was that your clothes were stained red." Kaldur replied. "What happened?"
"A dumb prank. The girls in my dance class dumped Jell-o in me as part of their initiation."
"Jell-o? Really?" Wally zoomed into the conversation.
"Yeah but I got them back." She smiled.
"I heard you dumped a milkshake all over them." Conner said.
"Wow." Dick and Artemis walked up. "You must be pretty whelmed right now."
"I didn't think you had it in you." Artemis chuckled.
"I didn't either but there you go. Honestly, I wanted to run and hide but then I realized that wouldn't change anything."
"So you dumped a milkshake on them?" Artemis smirked.
"Yup and then I embarrassed them with my awesome dance moves. Ms. Hart was so impressed."
"That's great." Wally chuckled. "Maybe you can give us a demonstration some time."
"So school wasn't as bad as you thought it would be." Conner smirked.
"Yeah…" she frowned and pushed him playfully. "Wipe that look off your face!"
"Haha, what look?"
"That one!" She twitched and her attention went to the zeta tube.
'Recognize, Batman. 0.1. Recognize, Red Tornado. 1.6. Recognize, Wisteria. 2.1.'
"Hey, we have a mission?" Wally smiled.
"Yes, you do." Wisteria smiled. Elegance and sophistication came off her in vibes yet her eyes shone with danger like wildfire.
"You seem to be showing up a lot lately." Dick said.
"You're an interesting bunch of young heroes. I guess you can say I'm observing."
"This mission comes directly from the Green Lantern Corp. so I want the best from all of you." Batman's eyes seemed to narrow as he spoke.
"Whoa, sounds pretty epic." Wally smiled.
"So what's the mission?" Artemis asked.
"A prisoner broke out of the Lantern Corps. Maximum security prison. For unknown reasons, he's chosen Earth as his hiding place." A picture of a muscular, grayish-purple alien man with rigid claws and four eyes appeared on screen. "They call him-"
"Maliphor the beast." Cat finished his sentence. M'gann could feel a sharp sense of fear stabbing at Cat.
"You know him?" Conner raised an eyebrow.
"I'm part of the reason he was in prison." She frowned.
"Whoa, really?" Dick was astonished by it.
"Yeah, he was the first bad guy I ever took down."
"There was a picture of you and the League after your first take down in your journal but there wasn't anything written about it." Conner pointed out.
"I didn't get the journal until after that." She shook her head.
"Wait, no way Bats and the League would let you fight a baddie like that on your own. Especially back then." Wally said.
"She didn't." Red Tornado cut in."There's a reason I didn't write anything about it in my journal."
"Let's focus on the task at hand." Batman switched the topic back "You'll be assisting a Green Lantern in his investigation and if possible, catch Maliphor before acts."
"Let me guess, the Lantern Corps. don't want anyone to know about this." Dick guessed.
"Correct." Wisteria smiled.
"A Green Lantern?" Kaldur inquired.
"Hal or John?" Wally asked next.
"Neither." Wisteria shook her head. "You'll be working with a more distant member of the League."
"Guy Gardner." Batman finished her train of thought.
"Guy?!" Cat's face lit up.
"Oh yeah. I've heard of him." Dick said. "You know him, Cat?"
"Know him? I worked with him… I guess you could say he was my mentor."
"Approaching Venice, Italy." M'gann flew the bio-ship through the sky in camouflage mode.
"Why Venice, I wonder." Dick asked.
"Why not Venice?" Cat shrugged. "Guy loves Venice."
"So he picks it as a meeting spot?" Artemis frowned.
"I'm sure he has his reasons."
"You never did explain how you were partners." M'gann inquired.
"Well, I'm not sure it counts as partners exactly. I don't remember all of it but Guy and Superman were the ones that found me. They found me near a collapsing black hole. I was comatose for three months afterwards. After a while, Guy started taking me with him on his missions."
The bio-ship landed in a clearing. Everyone looked around as they exited the ship. There was no one really in the area but voices and cheering could be heard from the festival a short distance away. 'Okay. Where is he?' Artemis looked around.
'I don't know… he should be here.' Cat and Conner noticed something. There was a figure hiding in the shadows, obviously watching them. In a split second Artemis spun around and shot the tree next to the figure with an arrow. It exploded, flooding the area with smoke. With a blink, Conner could see through the smoke.
"Its human." Conner slid his foot back, ready to battle if their mystery guest made any moves.
"Wait!" Cat stopped them. They could hear coughing as a ginger haired man stepped out of the smoke.
"No frickin' duh I'm human!" he coughed as he spoke. He was wearing green and black clothing dawned with the symbol of the Green Lantern Corp.
"He's a Green Lantern." M'gann floated to the ground.
"Really? What gave me away? My clothes, my ring or the glowing?" His tone carried his sarcasm.
"Guy!" A smile illuminated Cat's face.
"Well if it isn't my little stray." he smirked. She hugged him. "Whoa whoa whoa. We're on the job, remember? Hugs come later."
"Right, professionalism." Cat stood up straight, soldier like.
"Atta girl." he turned to the rest of the team. "So you're the extras Batman sent when I only asked for the Black Cat."
"They're my team. Where I go, they go." Cat got a determined look on her face.
Guy paused for a moment, staring at her. Cat seemed to waver and he smiled. He flicked her forehead. "Don't sass me."
She covered her forehead. "I'm not."
"Now," Guy turned to the team, seemingly more serious in his demeanor. "Truthfully, I could catch Maliphor on my own but it's much faster to have Cat track him."
"I can track him through the energy waves be puts off." Cat explained. "His waves make a distortion in the Earth's energy field. It's not strong enough to noticeably or physically distort anything."
"And with that said, when we find him I want Superboy to stay a good distance behind." Guy added.
"Because." Cat drew everyone's attention. Her violet irises seemed to glow. "The energy we're tracking is from Kryptonite."
"Kryptonite?" Kaldur couldn't believe it.
"Since the forming of the Justice League and it's rising fame throughout the universe, the Lantern Corps. thought it'd be a good idea to put a ban on Kryptonite. Unfortunately, it's worth a lot on the black market now so everyone's trying to get a hold of some. Maliphor is a major dealer. He was around the stuff so much it comes off of him like radiation." Guy shook his head. "When me and Cat took him down, we only found four out of five of his stashes."
"You think the last one is here." Artemis realized.
""It would explain why he's hiding here on Earth of all places." Wally added.
"Hello, M'gann! But- why are we in Venice?"
"Because, who doesn't like Venice? I've been seen here all the time. It's one of my favorite places in the universe." he smirked, hinting at something.
"You're trying to lure him out." Dick realized.
"Ding ding! The Boy Wonder is correct! Maliphor is the kind of man who likes revenge."
"You were trying to lure him out." Kaldur said. "Yeah but I got tired of waiting. Then it dawned on me to ask Bats to send Cat my way and I'd find him much faster. So let's get this over with. It's a school night, ain't it?"
"Okay." She backed away from them. "Give me some space." She closed her eyes, almost like she was entering a meditative state. The air around them became eerie and strange. Her eyes snapped open suddenly. "There's a large amount of Kryptonite creating a distortion near Rome."
"So close by."
"Don't just stand there, let's move!" Guy barked as they rushed into the bio-ship.
The bio-ship hovered above the ground. Seat belts were off and they were moving. Cat didn't wait for the door to open, she teleported out. Everyone but Conner and M'gann took a line.
'Superboy should stay in the ship.' she thought before he could jump out.
'What? Why?'
She swallowed nervously. 'Because of the Kryptonite. You'll be useless.'
'Cat's right, kid. Stay put. I'm not your leader or anything but I am a Green Lantern. It's my job to look out for you. This isn't the usual kryptonite that's watered down by other variables. It's in its purest state, directly from the source. Regular kryptonite can weaken you but pure kryptonite will kill you.'
'He's right. Stay here as back up.' Kaldur ordered. 'Everyone in stealth mode.' Within a moment, their clothes transitioned to black and Guy's glow died down. They begain moving, leaving Konner in the camouflaged bio-ship. They followed Cat as she hid behind a pile of rubble.
'The kryptonite is in there.' She pointed to a broken down temple. It was closed off in the typical 'Do Not Enter' fashion.
'He's hiding kryptonite in a historical site closed off to the public?' Dick thought.
'Not a bad idea.' Wally added.
'He took the risk that humans might discover it?' M'gann asked.
'That's not his style.' Cat stated to their surprise. 'Why would he risk it in an active planet where it could possibly be discovered? He may be big but he's not stupid. It was either guarded by someone who owes him a favor or he just recently moved it here. Likely the second option.'
'Good thinkin,' Cat. You've gotten better.' She blushed modestly as Guy passed her the compliment. 'Maliphor doesn't trust any one, especially when it comes to his merchandise. He probably had it stashed somewhere else.'
'Then why move it to Earth? He's more likely to get caught here with the Justice League.' M'gann asked.
'He'd only move it for one reason.' Guy stated.
'A buy is going down.' Dick realized.
'Yeah but who do you think the buyer is? Sportsmaster?' Wally suggested.
'Why do you say Sportsmaster?' Guy asked, unknowingly.
'He works for the Light.'
'Who's that?'
'Think major baddies like Vandal Savage, Luthor, Queen Bee and Klarion. They've been at the center of some major deals lately. Buying supped up Cobra venom, attemping to assassinate the Rhelasian leaders, things like that.' Wally explained.
'Suped up? How?'
'Mixing it with Cadmus's Blockbuster formula.'
'None of them have the brains for that kind of thing.' he thought.
'…but we know someone who does.' Cat realized something. 'Who was it that bragged he could use 80% of his brain? Surge.'
'Who's Surge?'
'An evil genius with an ego larger than Canada.' Artemis frowned at the thought.
'We're not even sure he has anything to do with this.' M'gann added.
'A major nerd like Surge would kill to get his hands on a resource like that.' Dick explained.
'Let's not count any one out yet.' Kaldur quieted his teams mind.
'What's that glow?' M'gann pointed it out. Once they reached the opening, they knew what it was. Tanks filled with glowing crystals. It was so bright they couldn't look directly at them. The tanks lined the walls and were stacked across the floor.
'That's a lot of kryptonite.' Wally was in disbelief.
'There's Maliphor.' Cat pointed him out. He was standing next to a tall, ominous cloaked figure, obviously Creeper, and a shorter cloaked figure.
"Here it is." Maliphor's voice was raspy and deep. He handed the shorter cloaked person a box. "The sample. I have enough kryptonite here to kill an army of Kryptonians. Not even the great Superman can survive this in its pure, untainted form." The short man lifted a small tube of bright whitish-green kryptonite out of the box. Seemingly satisfied, he replaced it back it the box.
"Excellent. But you neglected to mention that we'd be entertaining an audience." he pointed them out. M'gann knew the voice, Psimon.
'Go!' Kaldur ordered and the team sprung into action. Cat vanished from sight and Dick threw several explosive discs. They struck Maliphor and- KABOOM!
"Creeper, Ember." Psimon ordered.
"Whoa!" Wally slid under a blast of fire. "Her too?"
"Oh~ did you miss me, speedster?"
"About as much as he misses school." Artemis pelted Ember in the back with an arrow, it exploded into foam.
Creeper dispersed in to the shadows and rose up behind M'gann. He was pushed back by a telekinetic field only to get electrocuted by Kaldur. He spun around and knocked Artemis back. Cat appeared behind Psimon, swinging his foot down on his head. It clashed with a force field and he threw her back. Maliphor beat on Guy's glowing shield. He forced back and knocked him into a pillar. He rose to his feet.
"Come on. You can do better than this." Guy taunted him.
"You're right, I can."
"But he doesn't have to." Psimon smiled. "Psimon says-"
"No!" M'gann dropped her guard momentarily to shield her mind only to get slammed by one of Creeper's tentacles.
"Sorry buddy, but I could do without the headache today." Wally slid into him, knocking him over. Artemis shot Creeper with two arrows which exploded into a high frequency flash. He shrieked and turned to run. He was nailed with a flying kick to the face from Dick.
"Too bright for ya?" Dick chuckled.
"Don't worry, boy wonder. If you're afraid of the dark, I'll lighten things up for you." Ember was back on her feet and burning like wildfire.
"I thought you doused this flame, Artemis." Dick flipped to the side, dodging a fire ball. The flames chased him as he ran.
"She must be one of those trick candles." Wally joked as he blitzed away from a fireball.
'Careful, Ember. Don't damage the merchandise.' Psimon warned her. He faced M'gann who was struggling to contain the newly risen Creeper. He was deflecting Kaldur's swordplay while violently lashing out at M'gann. 'Creeper has the advantage at night but-' he spotted Cat and Guy taking on Maliphor. '-this fight is not a winning one. Psimon says- Sleep.' At that point the whole team dropped. Maliphor grabbed Cat out of midair and flung her to the ground.
"Took you long enough." Maliphor growled.
"My apologies. The Martian was shielding their minds from me." he bowed his head slightly.
"No matter." Maliphor kneeled next to Cat. He grabbed her braids and lifted her head to look at her face. "I hadn't planned on taking my revenge until after I'd conducted my business but the Green Lantern and the Black Cat have brought themselves to me."
"Along with their team." Ember frowned. "Wait… where's the Kryptonian? What's his name?"
"His name… is… Superboy." Cat growled.
"She's still awake? What a strange mind she has." Psimon knelt in front of her.
"This little brat? Ha! She's not even fit to be a sidekick. When the Green Lanterns were hunting me down, they had to check all over. She stumbled onto my hiding spot by accident and didn't even wait for her partner to back her up." He ripped her collar, revealing her scar. "Ain't it pretty? A little gift from me. Do you know what a cat sounds like when you skin it?" he laughed.
"I-I'm not the same-!"
"You're the same as you ever were! Just carrying some more dead weight."
"I-I'm not!" She grabbed his wrist, attempting to pull herself up. He scowled and threw her over the opening, off the cliff and into the water.
"Why'd you do that?" Ember asked.
"The little kitten can't swim." He chuckled. He turned. "What are we going to do with these?" He motioned to the team.
"It is quite a conundrum. If we kill them-" Psimon started.
"We'll have the League and the Green Lantern Corps. Breathing down our necks." Maliphor grunted. "What a pain."
Cat drifted in the ocean, holding on to what breath she had. She was sinking like the Titanic, no way to stop it.
To Be Continued…
Mission 7/ END
"For just one measly dollar, you can get yourself the perfect view of the meteor shower!" Eddy's voice bellowed to the others as they crowded around.
"A dollar? What happened to a quarter?" Johnny asked.
"Jeez, what are you, in elementary school still?" he rolled his eyes.
I wouldn't call myself a genius.
"What's so great about this spot?" Kevin asked skeptically.
"Double D said it's the best place to see the evil space men attack planet Earth and claim it for their own!" Ed shouted dramatically.
"I did not say that! I said that based on the geography of our neighborhood and my calculations, this is the most suitable spot in the cul-de-sac for everyone to watch this once in a lifetime opportunity."
"Come on, Kevin. It sounds like fun." Naz elbowed him playfully.
"Fine." He rolled his eyes and gave in.
"Who brought the snacks?" Nat asked.
"Damn it! I knew we forgot something!" Eddy grumbled.
"Then it is good for you that Rolf has brought enough of his homemade meat surprise for everyone!"
"Um. No thanks, Rolf."
"Look, Sarah!"
I am quite intelligent, incredibly so.
"I see them, Jimmy!" she said excitedly. "They're beautiful!"
"They look so cool." Naz added.
"Plank wants to know if we should move." Johnny shifted nervously.
"Molten death is falling from the sky!" Ed hollered.
"Jeez, where do you get these things?" Eddy grumbled.
"Should we be worried?" Nat inquired.
"The meteors should burn up in the atmosphere before they even get close to us." Double D reassured him.
"Hey, Double Dweeb, then why does it look like they're getting bigger?!"
But I wouldn't go so far as to call myself a genius.
"Everybody run!"
Panic set in as the flaming rock bombarded the area. They immediately stumbled into a run as they clumsily rose to their feet.
"Not that way!" Nat pulled Sarah back as a meteor struck a tree down in front of them.
"Aaaaaah!" Ed screamed.
"Stop with the call of the banshee, Ed boy!"
"We're all gonna die!" Johnny cried.
"Naz, stay with me!" Kevin pulled her out of the way as the next one blew up the ground near them.
"Sarah!" Jimmy cried. They had now noticed that part of the tree branches had fallen on top of them.
"Jimmy!" She ran towards him.
"Ed must protect his baby sister!"
"That's suicide!" Eddy's words came too late as more crashed down in front of them.
"How could this all have gone so terribly wrong?!" Double D went an even lighter shade of pale.
"Don't just stand there-!"
"Double D, look out!"
Because in the time we live in…
There was quiet. The world had stopped shaking around them. The fires had died out in the night, somehow extinguished. Double D could feel pain all over as he awoke. There was a weight on top of him, not quite as heavy as he'd assumed being crushed by a meteorite would be. It was only when he opened his eyes that he realized it wasn't burning space rock on top of him- it was Kevin. "Wha…?" the last thing he could remember was being shoved as he froze in the face of a green ball of fire heading right for him. He attempted to sit up, seeing that the back of Kevin's hoodie was severely burned. "Kevin-! Kevin!"
"Quit shouting in my ear…" Kevin grumbled as he sat up. "I've got this crazy headache."
"You're hurt-!"
"Huh? I'm fine. Can't say the same for my clothes."
"But-! That's impossible-!"
Getting called a genius gets you noticed.
"Look, I'm fine." He took off the scraps of his shirt and hoodie that were left. His back was a little dirty but uninjured. "See."
"But how…?"
"Everyone else alright? Make some noise." He shouted as Double D eyed him curiously.
"Dude… my skin burns…" Naz groaned.
"The son of a shepherd requires no medical attention."
"I'm okay." Sarah called.
"Ed is A-okay!"
"Plank's still in one piece!"
"What I wouldn't do for a shower right now." Nat added as he attempted to rub some of the dirt off of his shirt.
"Bite me, Kevin." Eddy added last.
"Sarah, how's Jimmy?"
"He's alive but unconscious! He needs a doctor!"
"Yeah, someone call 911…ugh…" Kevin's stance swayed.
"Kevin-!" Double D snapped out of his thoughts and attempted to provide some leverage so that Kevin didn't fall.
"My head is seriously killing me…"
"That may not be the only thing, Kevin, you're glowing."
By all of the wrong people.
-Seven Years Later-
Eddy walked down the hallway to the large set of glass doors. He casually set his thumb on the scanner and it only took a moment for it to beep pleasantly as the doors opened. He proceeded down the hallway, pulling a cigarette from the pack in his hand and replacing the rest back in the coat pocket of his suit. He lit it as the last set of doors opened and the sound of electricity cracking, metal creaking and the News flooded his eardrums. Double D was hard at work on some kind of android. From what Eddy could see, he was playing with its limbs for some reason, probably not working right. "Whatcha got for me?"
"The pressure function on their limbs is off. They couldn't hold a tea cup without shattering it, let alone be precise enough to handle assembly lines. And may I remind you, Eddy, that my lab is a No Smoking area?" he hadn't even glanced at Eddy as he rolled his chair to his desk and held a canister towards him. Eddy frowned before dropping the cigarette bud into it. It quickly sealed and the red light turned green.
"See, now that we can sell."
"My cigarette disposal unit?"
"Yeah! Imagine how much money we'd save people when their houses don't get burned down because they forgot to put out their cigarettes? And we'd be making friends with those insurance tightwads who hate paying for repairs."
"You loathe insurance agents."
"Only when they're investigating us. You'd think the giant hole in the wall makes it obvious when you say 'A super villain broke in to steal one of our prototypes' but noooo." His eyes wandered to the television.
["-currently happening in the Megatropolis Shopping District, the Red Avenger and Cherry Bomb are taking on an army of robots-"]
"Hello~?" A voice echoed through the room as Lee came bouncing in.
"Ugh, yeah, what do want?" Eddy grumbled.
"Is that any way to greet your loving wife?" she pouted but quickly got over it. "I'm going out for a girls night so I came by for my weekly allowance." She held her hand out expectantly. He rolled his eyes before pulling out his wallet and handing her money. "Thanks, honey bunches~!" she kissed him on the cheek before skipping out the door.
"Remind me again why you married her." Double D raised an eyebrow curiously.
"Still trying to remember that myself actually." He frowned. "She signed a prenupt when we got married so it's not like she could just take my money."
"And yet she still manages to stay married to you just to drain it out of you anyways. What does that remind me of… oh yeah, a leech." Double D said sourly.
"I know, I know. Jeez. Every time I think I'm gonna bring it up, she changes the subject somehow."
"Uh huh."
["-it seems that the majority of the robots numbers have been cut down by the super powered duo. And in related news, the Cul-De-Sac Corporation is now offering to pay for the damages inflicted upon the city by the growing meta-human, super villain menace. They now offer a kind of insurance against anything from super villains to mutated wild life and vegetation incidents that have developed since the Meteor Fall seven years ago. They've come a long way from upgrading household appliances and building amusement park rides-"]
"And you said you were going to get on their good side."
"Pfft, why do you have the TV on anyways? You're not even watching it!"
"And you're changing the subject. I like to hear about how our friends are doing."
"Double D-" Eddy was interrupted by an explosion that shook the entire building.
"Goodness! That felt like it came from the chem. building!"
"Ed's carrying the chemical bins for waste disposal right now." Eddy said as he waved his hand and a holographic screen appeared. He quickly hit a button and it linked him right into the camera. "Yo, lumpy! You better not have dropped any of that crap-"
["There's a giant rock snake in here, Eddy!"] Sure enough, a giant snake slithered through the building on the screen, slamming into the walls- which shook the rest of the place.
"What the-?!" he ran for the door. "Why the hell weren't the security protocols activated?"
"It baffles me as well-"
"I'm gonna go make sure Ed doesn't break anything important while he wrestles that thing! Get those security droids deployed ASAP!" Eddy barked as he rushed down the hall. He didn't even bother to stop to investigate how all of the doors were open. He jumped onto the railing of the stairs and slid down it. He caught himself as he landed on the ground, everything shaking around him. He bolted down the hall but screeched to a halt as the giant stone snake flew through the walls in front of him. Ed stepped out of the opening.
"Where'd the snake go?!"
"I threw him that way! He is such a playful little scamp!"
"You moron, that's the prototype wing!" They followed the trail of destruction. The snake's body could be seen curling through the smoke. "It's about to attack again!" It struck again, ramming into Ed as hard as it could. It was surprised as its body sprung together like a slinky as Ed grabbed ahold of its mouth and stopped it a matter of seconds.
"Bad Mister Snake!" Ed slammed its mouth shut and the creature shattered, releasing a green light that vanished through the air ducts.
"Aaargh! Where did it go?" he brought up a map of the air ducts on his holo-screen.
"Waaaaah! Eddy! I did not mean to kill Mister Snake!" Ed cried, tears pouring down his cheeks.
"Damn, it's long gone by now." He said as he walked back to the chemical tanks. "It doesn't look like it broke anything important." There was a beep behind him, he turned to see several drones floating behind him. "Totally late, sockhead! Ed already smashed the thing!" there was a long pause. "Double D?" he was beginning to get a bad feeling. His gut was immediately proved right when the lenses of the drones turned red and began to shoot lasers. He quickly ran and slid back behind a crate for cover. 'Damn. What is Double D doing?! Is it a malfunction?' he thought. He pulled a high tech looking pistol from the inside of his coat. He attempted to peek at the machines but quickly retreated as more laser fire came at him. One circled around the other side of the crate and he didn't even hesitate to shoot it. He looked around curiously for an idea when his eyes stopped on the glass shards scattered across the floor from the broken window. He could spy the drones' reflections in them. He pulled his lighter out of his pocket and threw it into the air. The drones blasted it, igniting the gas. A small little puff of smoke filled the air and in that moment, Eddy turned and shot every single drone out of the air.
"Eddy is okay!"
"No thanks to you! Why weren't you helping?!"
"Eddy said not to touch so that Ed does not break them." He recited proudly.
"The one time you listen." He tapped an icon on his holo-screen. "Double D, the targeting system is set to friendly fire on your stupid drones." There was a long pause of static. "Huh? Yo, sockhead!" Still no answer. "Why do I… oh no!"
Being a target is unavoidable with my job.
Double D sat wedged between two masked men in the back seat of a car as it sped down the road at Mach speed. There were two more men in the front and they were all snapping at each other noisily. "We got the genius, the Gorgon Sisters better be ready to cough up the cash-!"
"You kidding? With as many of their resources we used up, they're probably gonna cut our pay!"
"They better not!"
"We had a deal, we get the scientist from Cul-De-Sac and they give us ten mil."
Oh dear. That is rather high. I didn't realize I was worth that much.
"And a bonus if we kill that smug C.E.O."
"You did kill him, right?"
"Puh-lease! I set his own robots on him. It'll look like an accident."
"You didn't check?!"
"He's as good as dead! Ain't nobody that lucky!"
You don't know Eddy. It's… kind of his super power.
"Let's hurry up and get to the rendezvous point before one of them supers show up."
And that would be my queue.
"I'm terribly sorry, gentleman, but is this a CDS model car?"
"Uh yeah." One answered.
"You shouldn't even be talking!" another barked.
"I- I know! I was just saying it's an incredibly smooth car ride. Is it an electric?"
"Of course!"
"What kind of people you think we are?"
"We're mercenaries not Earth killers, yo."
"That is quite nice to hear. My apologies in advance but this seems to be my stop." He lunged forward before anyone could react and placed his hand on the console. Static danced around his hand as the car lurched forward, screeching and spinning to a halt. Double D was thrown back into his seat as it all happened.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa! Nobody said this guy was a metahuman!"
There were repetitive sounds of the car attempting to start as the kidnapper in the driver's seat turned the key. Much to Double D's annoyance, it did. "Okay, we're back in business."
"Try that again," the one next to him pointed a gun at him. "And we won't be playing nice anymore."
"Hey, guys." One started as the car started moving. "What's that red dot in the sky?"
"Oh god-!" he was interrupted as it came crashing down onto the hood of the car. It was a man. But not just any man- "It's Red Avenger!"
Kevin. Of course with such an entrance, who else would it be?
Kevin's hand went right through the cracked windshield of the car and grabbed the man in the driver's seat. He yanked him right through and dangled him off of the ground.
"Alright, Einstein! Let's go!" One of the men yanked Double D by his lab coat out of the car as the others stumbled out into a run.
Kevin's eyes went to the familiar voice. He was surprised to see who it was. In a glowing flash, he was right front of one of the men. He grabbed him by his collar, punched him once and then threw him into another. Two of the others attempted to shoot at him but he leaped into the air and came crashing down on top of them. "Back off, goody goody. Or the nerd gets it." The last man standing had the gun to Double D's head.
"N-now there's no need for this to get any worse-!" he stammered but he was obviously quite frightened.
"Dork." Kevin grumbled in a sigh. He took a step forward.
"I'm warning you! I'll kill him!"
"And then I'll kill you."
"You hero types don't kill!"
"Try me." The tension in the air was only making Double D begin to panic a little more until Kevin grinned. "Psych."
"Huh- aaagh!" he was blasted from behind. He dropped to the ground, unconscious.
"Geez, took you long enough, Cherry Bomb."
"Dude, don't even go there. You just suddenly took off-" she paused when she spotted him. "Double D?"
Of course with Kevin here, Naz wouldn't have been far behind.
"Wow! It's been a while!" she smiled as she hugged him.
Kevin spied the blush on his face. His eye's narrowed for a moment before he turned. "Come on, let's bounce before the police and the fans get here."
"W-wait-!" Double D latched onto the back of Kevin's jacket, much to his surprise. "Uh…." When Kevin turned to him, he froze. "Time for your checkup…?"
It was a pathetic excuse but he let it go for some reason.
Kevin sat on the table as Double D hit several buttons on his holo-screen. "Vitals are normal… energy signature is strange but no surprise there…" he mumbled as he switched through the x-ray screens and scan results.
"You know," Kevin started, slightly annoyed by Double D's lack of interest. "I'm surprised. You haven't called me in for one of these checkups in over a year."
"Hm…? Well, it certainly has been some time… your bone structure has strengthened and hasn't caused any strain… good…." He continued mumbling.
"You just snagged me and Naz off the street for this-"
"Not just you and Naz, Kevin. I called everyone. You're all overdue for a checkup."
"You used to call us in twice a month, then they got farther apart until you stopped."
"Once I was certain the meteors radiation had no other side effects, they were no longer a necessity. I was checking for differences over different lengths of times-"
"Don't give me that." Kevin grabbed his arm as he turned, catching his attention. "Come on, you won't even look at me. You still think this is your fault, don't you?"
Nobody could have known that was gonna happen!"
"I should have." He pulled his hand away and turned back to his screens. "So how are you and Naz?"
"Huh? You don't know?" Kevin accepted Double D switching subjects without a hint of question. "Naz and I broke up."
"A while back." He shrugged. "A superhero dating another superhero. She just wants something normal, ya know? I think dating a normal person would be hard because they don't understand why we can't put our relationship first."
"And the constant disappearing doesn't help either." Double D chuckled. "You're fine. Healthier than ever." He smiled before stepping out of the room.
Kevin always sees right through me. I try to act brave and he points out the cracks in my armor. It's been this way… well, since that day.
"Hey, Double D!" Sarah greeted Double D with a smile as she pushed Jimmy's wheelchair.
"Salutations." He smiled. "It's been some time. How are the both of you?"
"We're great."
"If Sarah wasn't always taking such good care of me-"
"I told you, Jimmy, I do it because I want to." She smiled at him.
"We were surprised that you called us up." Sarah added.
"Yeah, dude. You've been kind of a hermit lately." Naz agreed.
"My work has made me a little reclusive as of late."
"Take a break then. We'll go out for drinks tonight, right Kevin?" Nat turned to him as he walked in, fully dressed.
"Huh? Yeah right." His tone made Nat's eyes narrow suspiciously. "Double Dweeb would be passed out in ten seconds flat." He flashed a mischievous grin.
"I beg your pardon. I can hold my liquor as well as anyone else." Double D seemed to get flustered at the comment.
"Drinks?! Ha ha! Count me in too, guys!" Johnny chimed in.
"Jeez, it's turning into a circus in here." Eddy grumbled as he walked in followed by Ed.
"Double D!" Ed cried as he swung Double D around in a hug. "I was so scared that you were gone!"
"Now now, Ed. It'll take a little more than that to kidnap me." He said as Ed put him down.
"Pfft, yeah. Especially when you have me save your butt." Kevin added.
"I did not-!" Double D frowned. "You just had remarkable timing and didn't Naz say you ran off in the middle of a fight?"
"Only because you looked like you needed saving."
"Get a room, you two." Eddy shook his head, annoyed.
Kevin's attention was now turned to him as well as Double D's, though Double D went straight to business. "Any word from Rolf?"
"Nope. Probably lost his phone. Again."
"I assumed he wouldn't show."
"Since I you're here," Kevin spoke, glaring daggers at Eddy. "How about you explain how Double Dweeb got kidnapped right under your nose."
"What'd you say?" the battle had begun.
"You heard me. CDS has the highest level security on the planet and yet you can't keep your employees from being kidnapped."
"Mister Snake came to visit!" Ed added, cutting into the conversation. "He was such a cute little snakey."
"Mister Snake?" Naz questioned.
"Don't look at me. I don't speak Ed." Nat shrugged.
"A giant snake that appeared to be made out of stone started destroying the building right before I was kidnapped. It was likely a distraction."
"But Sarah, CDS has force fields, doesn't it?"
"You're right, Jimmy. How did that snake get in in the first place? Someone had to have shut down the security network."
"Why not just check the camera feeds?" Naz asked.
"I would if whoever did it hadn't deleted them!"
"Then how-" Eddy clenched his teeth, obviously to refrain from speaking anymore. Kevin's eyes grew wide as he realized it. "You think someone from the inside did it!"
"I don't know anything yet!"
"Start talkin' before I pummel it out of ya!" Kevin threatened.
"Don't come in here threatening me with your high and mighty superhero act, shovel-chin!"
"You can't luck your way out of this!"
"I don't believe in luck!"
"Oh please! You couldn't even earn a stupid quarter for a jawbreaker when we were kids. You get hit by a meteorite and suddenly you're a multi-millionaire!"
"I got here with my hard work! Nothing else! Luck had nothing to do with it!"
"I don't know. I think you've dodged more bullets in your life than a politician dodges prostitute accusations." Nat added in his two cents.
"Gentlemen! It'd be best to calm down before this matter escalates any further-!"
"Can it, dork! This jackass has had this coming for a long time!" Kevin popped his knuckles. "I want to see you try to get lucky in this fight."
The tension in the air was cut by the sounding of an alarm. Lights were flashing everywhere.
"It's too loud, Sarah!" Jimmy cried.
"Hey, fathead, turn that thing off!"
"I thought you said this place was secure." Nat looked at Eddy.
"It is!" he said as his holoscreen appeared.
"Mister Snake is back!" Ed cheered.
"Shut up, Ed!" his eyes suddenly grew wide while he checked the alert. "It's sounding from our prison."
"You own a prison?" Sarah asked.
"It's a privately owned facility meant to house metahuman villains and neutralize their powers during their sentence." Double D explained.
"What's happening?"
"It's- oh no." he grumbled as he turned to them. "Marie Kanker just broke out of jail." Her frightening mug shot appeared on a larger screen in front of them. Her eyes looked sinister and crazed.
The smoke snake crawled out of the drain and seeped under the crack in the limousine door. Lee sat in the car, smoking a cigarette in a relaxed manner as she noticed it. "Oh, come to mama." She held out her hand and the smoke slithered around her wrist. It coiled up her wrist and settled onto her neck, sinking into her snake tattoo. "This party's just getting started."
So I wrote this for C2ndy2c1d because she draws wonderful stuff. So yes, there will be KevEdd shipping. I even put Nat in there for her (though I probably didn't capture how wonderful he is right) You no like, go somewhere else. XD If she likes this first part, I'll make a series of it who knows?
I'll get a chapter pic for this eventually.
I'll probably put up a page on my tumblr to tell abt everyone's powers and such if people like it.

I am also an avid fan of a lot of anime/video games/comics/etc. Just because its not in my gallery doesn't mean I'm not a fan, it just means I was a spaz and didn't post it XD

A student at State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry, less obnoxiously SUNY ESF. Many students identify themselves as a "Stumpy" (or "Stumpie"). The nickname was given to students by their neighbors at Syracuse University, probably in the 1920s, and most-likely refers to forestry "stump jumpers". Although originally used as an insult, today, most students embrace the nickname with pride.

Yes it definitely should.
Here are some kitchens and great rooms that are not necessarily from the same house (actually only the first one is) but sure look like they could be:
Via House Beautiful
Are you happy with the way your great room relates to the kitchen? You'd be surprised how often this connection is not considered by renovators or builders!
Have a great weekend everyone! xo Maria

1 game design principle I noticed in the games i've played was #2 " Simple obvious controls and rules that are easy to master".
Another game design principle I noticed was #5 "Offer clear and obvious short term and long term goals".
One more game design principle I noticed was #14 "Include the option to turn audio off, so games can be played anywhere".

here are the top 3 teams to meet up with eachother in the finals.
Well in the Western conference its gonna be the Oklahoma City Thunder:
Well if you watch basketball you probably know how much of a nice team Oklahoma City Thunder are. These guys have the best record in the western conference. They got two all-stars (Russel Westbrook and Kevin Durant) while they got a great sixth man (James Harden,probably gonna be sixth man of the year just saying) this team has the will and skill to win it all.
In the Eastern conference its still kinda hard to see if who's gonna make it to the finals because of these two teams.
Miami Heat and the Chicago Bulls
These two teams are really good. The Heat experienced a real life nightmare when Lebron and D-Wade were injured but good thing they had Chris Bosh to win the game The Heat have alot of talent and experience about going through the finals from last year against the Dallas Mavericks. Some nights it doesnt seem as if the Heat are a championship team but every great team cant be amazing every night and you cant say im only talking about the Miami Heat because the Oklahoma City Thunder arent amazing every night and ALSO the Chicago Bulls.Now lets talk about the Bulls, last year the Bulls were all about Derrick Rose but now the other teammates learned how to be key players to succeed.This season the Bulls havent all been about Derrick Rose due to injury so during that time they learned how to win without him.
by jalmonte2188 Posted on March 12, 2012 in Uncategorized
The best rookie in the NBA right now is Kyrie Irving. Kyrie Irving is a rookie and he's already carrying a team on his back (the Cavs).Even though there record isnt the best its kinda crazy how they went from being the worst team in the East to being one of the decent teams just because of one player and like i said before hes a ROOKIE.

1) Describe a time when a police man/woman has helped/protected you or someone you know?
A time a police man helped my friend was when he got lost in times square and he helped him get home.
2) Describe a time when a police man/woman has acted in a way you disagreed with. How could they have handled it better?
A time when a police man acted in a way i disagreed with was when my dad was supposedly speeding but he wasnt then my dad argued with the the cop made him get out the car and he gave him a checkup. The could have handled it better by not giving him the checkup.
3) Should citizens be able to take photos and videos of the police? Why or why not?
They should because if its a good thing the police are doing it should be recorded and if its a bad thing everybody should be able to see.
4) Is there anything a citizen should not be allowed to take a photo or video of (for example, inside the subway, couples making out, outside the White House)?
Citizens should take photos or videos of things but not all things for example, you cant take pictures of people making out without their permission.

The top 10 best basketball players in the NBA(MY OPINION) right now are:
1st:Lebron James (Mia)
Lebron? #1 on this list? yup lebron deserves to be number 1 because he averages 29 points per game dont think hes here just because of the points nope not at all hes also here for being one of the best finishers in the NBA on a open court.hes also here for being one of the best in game dunkers.
2nd:Kevin Durant (OKC)
Well in 2nd place is Kevin Durant if your losing by three and there's only 1 second left you can count on Kevin Durant to make that game tying/winning shot. Kevin Durant is only 23 years old and you can tell by the time this guy retires hes gonna leave as being one of the best NBA players to ever play the game.
3rd:Derrick Rose (Chi)
Derrick Rose enough said. This guy was recently MVP but he is also the youngest MVP ever. This guy drives it in on the toughest guys on the court and he has one of the craziest crossovers, last season this guy broke a couple of ankles, people say hes got the best crossover in the league but do you agree?
4th: Dwyane Wade (Mia)
Dwyane Wade. When I hear that name I think of that guy that dunked on Anderson Varejao. Dwyane Wade won a title in 2006 and was the finals MVP. I feel bad for the players that have to go guard him because he got a mean crossover so you better prepare those ankles and if you let him get in the paint you better pray you not gettin dunked on.
5th: Kevin Love (Min)
You see that picture above this text? thats Kevin love after he made a game winning buzzer against the clippers. It was a three. I know what your thinking, how a power foward shot a three and made it? well thats just how much of a beast kevin love. Kevin is one of the best power fowards in the NBA probably the best. What this guy likes to do is score and rebound there was even a game where he scored thirty points and thirty rebounds but damn 30 rebounds!
6th:Chris Paul
Chris Paul recently traded to the clippers so he can join Blake Griffin to get Los Angeles a nickname which is "Lob city" . Chris Paul is on this list for the assits he gets when throwing an alley oop pass and the accuracy just to find the open man and also for having a nice crossover.
7th:Dwight Howard (Orl)
In 7th place Dwight Howard one of the best centers in the NBA right now probably the best one. If you watch basketball the thing that would come to mind when somebody mentions Dwight Howard are his blocks. If your the smallest one on the court and your driving it in you better get outta there if you see Dwight unless your pretty good driving it in.
8th:Carmelo Anthony (NY)
Carmelo should definitely be on this list despite all the injurys hes been through hes still beast. Hes not making his shots like he used to but hes getting better on his passes and hes averaging more assists than last year. But besides all that hes still the same Carmelo you know, "clutch".
9th:Monta Ellis (GS)
Monta Ellis the most underrated basketball player in the NBA. You probably thinking why is this guy here well my answer to that is because he deserves to be here. Hes another one of those clutch players and the type to get a and 1 on anybody and i mean anybody. First time i saw Monta Ellis i thought "look at all those tattoos" then i watched warriors games and now he happens to be one of my favorite players.
10th:Russel Westbrook (OKC)
In tenth place is Russel Westbrook. He is a great point guard, great dunker, great passer, and great shooter. Even though he leads the league in turnovers he still deserves to be on this list. One last thing, he a great overall player

1.Give an example of when YOU (yes, you) plagiarized and explain what you could have done differently.
An example of when I plagiarized something was when I plagiarized a homework assignment in 5th grade.It was to write a summary of what you read but i just wrote the back of the book.What i could have done differently is read the book and write it in my own words.

a) Did either of the machines come close to passing the Turing Test (did they seem human?)
The cleverbot seemed human and the splotchy didnt seem human.
b) What were some of the questions you asked Splotchy and Cleverbot? What kind of questions were Splotchy and Cleverbot better at answering?
Some questions i asked splotchy and cleverbot were, what is your name and simple math questions but the questions they didnt answered were, be more specific (because i asked it where it lived and it said london) and its response was i dont want to be more specific.
c) How do you think these computers program work? Why do you think it's so hard to design a machine that passes the Turing Test?
I think these computer programs work by first they put some words so it could seem sociable then after random start talking to it, it learns from that person and so on. I thinks its hard to design a machine that passes the turing test because its hard just to make a computer seem like its human for example you have to make it say things to make it seem human and you have to make it respond correctly to things people say to it.

1. Name 5 human rights and explain what they mean.
1 human right is the right to privacy which means that you have the right to have privacy like for example you have the right to go to the bathroom and have privacy in it (except for public restrooms).
A 2nd human right that to be treated equally as the next guy which means to be treated equally even if your different in color, height, or weight.
A 3rd human right is to have freedom of religion which means you have the right to believe in any religion you desire.
A 4th human right is the right to no slavery which means you have the right to not make anyone make YOU a slave and you dont have the right to make ANYBODY else a slave.
A 5th and final human right is that you are innocent until proven guilty which means if you are accused of something you still have the right to convince the person you did not do it.
Now if you look back at 2,3 and 4 wus humans did not have that right for example way long ago (about 1700s) people werent treated equally, white men travelled to africa to acquire africans so they can use them as slaves.Also way long ago religion WAS the government so they would try to make people become the same religion as them.
2.What human rights were violated in this game?explain.
1 human right that was violated was "no unfair detainment" because if you played ICED and got all the questions right the cops would still chase you and if you managed to escape them all (i did) you would still have to go to the detention center.Another human right that was violated was "dont discriminate" because just because my character was an immigrant he couldnt call the police for anything for example the game asked a question "you see a man beating his wife what do you do call the police or ignore" you would probably think to call the cops but you shouldnt because you would be attract attention to the police.
3. If you could re-design this game, what would you keep? What would you do differently?
Im not gonna lie the game was cool but if i could re-design it i would make the graphics better and when it asked you if you should tag the wall with spray paint if you chose yes i would make the player make their own tag and also i would make it available to ride the train and the car besides that i would keep everything else.

1. Where does the N-Word Come from? Why does it offend some people so much?
The N-Word came from slave masters calling slaves n****r . It offended people so much because it was used only on slaves so if you call sombody that they would think your calling them a slave.
2.Should non-black people be able to use the N-Word?
Non-black people should not use the word unless they are using it in a different way.
3.Should musicians stop using the N-Word?
Musicians should not use the N-word.
4. Do other ethnic groups (for example, Chinese, Jews, and Dominicans) use ethnic slurs like the N-Word to describe themselves? If not, Why?
They do use ethnic slurs.
5. What would happen if black people (and everyone else) started using "king" or "queen" instead of the N Word?
If black people (and everyone else) started using "king" or "queen" instead of the N-word some people wouldnt be offended.

November 28, 2014
WINNEMUCCA, Nev. (AP) - A Toronto-based mining company is pausing operations at two northern Nevada properties and laying off 182 workers.
About 157 employees at the Hollister Mine operated by Waterton Global Mining Co. in Elko County received word of the layoffs Monday.
Waterton acquired the mine and the Esmeralda Mill site near Hawthorne in May from Great Basin Gold during a bankruptcy auction. About 25 mill workers will be let go at the mill once ore stockpiles are processed.
Company officials say workers will receive 60-days salary and benefits.
The company also says while active mining is being suspended, its immediate focus will be on drilling and exploration to extend the life of the mine.

Official wants check on outside agencies leaving inmates here
EVERETT - City Councilman Ron Gipson is raising concern about a number of police departments bringing their inmates to the Snohomish County Jail and never taking them back, which he says leaves many of them to wander the streets of Everett when they're eventually released.
Gipson called on city officials last week to "send a strong message" on this issue.
The city has been talking with the Snohomish County Sheriff's Office, which runs the jail, about having outside police agencies take their inmates back home.
The Sheriff's Office has been responsive and open to addressing the city's concerns during initial talks, city spokeswoman Meghan Pembroke said last week.
Mayor Ray Stephanson said the problem is unacceptable.
Gipson said 24 law enforcement agencies from Redmond to Issaquah to Medina — one of the richest neighborhoods near Seattle — send people to the Snohomish County Jail because it's cheaper to house them here than in King County.
"I hate to see us be the dumping spot in this county because we have the cheaper rates," Gipson said, saying a city like Medina should be able to pick their inmates up.
Sheriff's Office spokeswoman Shari Ireton wasn't sure at press time whether outside agencies have take-back provisions written into their contracts with the jail.
Ireton said the jail isn't pursuing these contracts to make money. Inmates that come in with medical needs can end up costing a lot to house them, she said. She also noted the number of outside inmates is a small percentage of the jail's total 1,100 population.
Sheriff Ty Trenary is looking into this issue in addition to a number of separate reforms and improvements at the Snohomish County Jail, Ireton said.
Gipson decided to speak up after noticing an increase in homeless people downtown.
That increase may, in part, be due to the Everett Police Department's recent effort to disburse people loitering around the Everett Gospel Mission Men's Shelter on Smith Avenue. A number of them relocated to the downtown area.
Deputy Chief Dan Templeman said more homeless people hanging out downtown can't squarely be blamed on jail releases.
Some newly released inmates don't want to go back home, Templeman said.
At least one agency, the Seattle Police Department, offers bus passes to their inmates so they can get back home, Ireton said.
Many homeless individuals also use services located downtown, Templeman said.
Stephanson said the conversations with the Sheriff's Office have been cooperative, but city officials did not provide any more details.
Council President Jeff Moore said if less aggressive methods haven't worked, the city may need to step up its pressure.
