iv. Haywire

After the Crows had won the game, the kids were going out to the diner and joining their team was Mateo Cortez with Sarah and Tiana, who had caught a ride to the diner with the rest of the team.

Tiana was eating her food quickly and she was looking at Jon, who was giving her the "I'm ready when you are" look, so they were ducking out of the diner as soon as she had paid for her food quickly.

"Are you ready?" Tiana asked and Jon nodded quickly, before Tiana was holding the back of his neck and she was racing off quickly and they were stopping in front of the farmhouse.

"Whoa." Jon said quietly and she was shrugging her shoulders, before she was stopping at the sight of General Sam Lane standing in the doorway. Staring at them both with the look that she hated the most and she was flashing back to the last time they had spoken, with her practically just screaming at him in Clark's defense. "Oh. Hey, Grandpa." He said as Tiana was looking at General Lane before she disappeared in a flash of lightning, back into the barn.

"Dart!" The General was shouting after her as then, Tiana was silently flattening herself against the wall of the barn. Tiana didn't know why she felt so freaked out all of a sudden, she didn't know why she was so scared of him.

But the alarm bells in her mind were ringing and she was in-tune enough with her own instincts by now, to be scared by it and General Lane scoffed. "Young lady, you had better get down here right now!" He ordered and she was silently looking down at her hands, which were beginning to shake and now, electricity was beginning to crackle through her fingers.

"Just out of curiosity Sam," Tiana sighed softly with relief at the sound of Clark and she was clenching her fists, trying to control the electricity. "What makes you think that shouting at her, is going to make her come out of wherever she's hiding?"

"And for that matter, how do you even know that she still is here?" Clark asked as he was looking around, before she was walking over to the ladder and silently staring down at them both. "There is more food in the fridge for you when you are needing it, I got some extra food from the diner." He said and she was flashing past them both as she raced into the house.

Lois yelped in surprise at the sight of her suddenly appearing in the kitchen and Tiana looked guilty about it, before she sighed. "Sorry Lois." Tiana said and then she opened the fridge, before she was stacking the containers.

"Are you all right?" Lois asked and Tiana was turning around to look at her, with the food containers tucked under her chin and Tiana looked like she was half made of the containers, there were so many of them.

"What are you talking about, Lois?" Tiana asked as she was putting the teetering tall stack of containers onto the counter, so that she didn't drop them all onto the floor. "I feel the exact same as I always have..."

"Jon told me that you ran, when you saw my dad's face." Lois said and Tiana sighed.

"Snitch." Tiana muttered when Jon walked into the kitchen, grabbing a container of food off of the teetering stack. "Oh, no. Don't you dare!" Tiana said, snatching the container back and very nearly knocking the whole stack of them over.

"Whoa!" Lois said and before they could all crash onto the floor, Tiana used her speed to stack them up better into smaller piles and they were neatly stacked. "Thank god, for us being lucky enough to have a speedster in this house." Lois said, hugging Tiana in a bone-crushing hug.

"Lois... You're crushing me." Tiana muttered weakly and Lois let her go. "All right. Since your dad and your husband are most likely still arguing about something or another in my barn, can I do my homework somewhere in here?"
