Savanah's POV

I zipped up my one duffle bag and threw my messenger bag over my shoulder.

My messenger bag was my most prized possession, it held something very important. My bow, it was a recurve bow 70 pound draw strength, silver, my favorite color. My bow folded down to a 10 inch cylinder with a button on the side that made it turn into a fully functioning weapon in less then three seconds. My bag also held a fully stocked quiver with all manner of fancy trick arrows. It went were ever I went.

My uncle, a weapons developer for the government, had designed it for me in his free time.

I tucked a beenie over my platinum hair and threw my other backpack over my shoulder, which held my laptop and miscillanus books and power chords.

I remembered what Nightwing had said explaining the 'task force' I was joining.

*flash back to about half an hour before*

"Have you ever heard of the Young Justice team?" He asked, I shook my head, it seamed familiar but I couldn't place it.

"Oh, have you heard of the Justice League?" He asked, I nodded, who hasn't?!

"Well they are the backup for the Justice League, so this task force you'll be joining is sort of like... The backup team. You'll be doing mostly recon missions and investigating new threats."

I frowned a little, that's when Miss Martian (or Ma'gan as I had recently learned) piped up,

"Don't worry you will still see plenty of action, we won't just give you the pettie little missions, you will work very closely with the Justice League"

It was only a little creepy how she always new what to say.

"Cool." I said it has always been my dream to be a super hero, ever since my parents told me story's of the god-like protectors who saved the world on a regular basis, I had always admired batman especially, the entire bat family really, and that's why I was surprised I hadn't recognized Nightwing earlier.

Robin nodded, "Now stay whelmed." He smiled slyly

"So when do we leave?" I asked. Robin looked at my mother,

"As soon as possible, if that's okay Ms. Silver." My mother smiled.

"Go pack Savanah, Robin, Conner, Ma'gan, would you kids like some sandwiches?"

Yes they were superheros, but they were also teenagers and no one turned down one of my mom's PB&Js.

*end flashback*

I shook myself off and trotted down the stairs. When I came to the living room Me'gan and Conner were inspecting my mothers many art books and Nightwing was fiddleing with a little holographic watch.

I slammed my duffle bag on the stairs startling Ms. Martian and Superboy and making Nightwing look up from his trinket,

"I'm ready."

••••••••••••

Superboy had offered to carry my one duffle a little awkwardly, but I shook my head, I could carry my own things.

I had changed out of my uniform and into ripped, grey, bleached skinny jeans and a navy blue Abicrombie & Fitch Sweatshirt.

I hugged my mom and she kissed my hair telling me to stay safe, I squeezed her tightly and followed the three supers out my front door.

Two motor cycles were parked in front of my house on the street.

"Miss. Martian is going to fly ahead, so you can ride with either me or Superboy, Savannah..." The Nightwing said caustously, he must have been curious about what other powers I had besides my sixth sense, "you could always ride with-" but Conners enjine revved and he took down the road.

"Guess I'm with you then." I muttered.

Nightwing handed me his helmet and I pulled it over my beenie.

"You going helmetless?" I inquiried. He shook his head and pulled out another helmet out from under the seat, tapping his for head with his knuckles,

"Couldn't damage this amazing brain can we?" He said jokingly. I rolled my eyes, scoffing,

"Get on the stupid bike"

He laughed, his laugh was loud and clear, ringing around the street.

I climbed on after him wrapping my hands around his sternum. He was thin and sinewy, but still muscular, built for agility and speed, not brute strength.

Revving the engine we took of down the pavement my blond hair billowing behind me.
