"We are going to deal with that freaking van, which is currently in the barn. Are you coming with us?" Jon asked and he knocked on his own bedroom door, where Tiana had been napping and then, she was quickly rolling over to see him standing there.

"Yeah, I'm coming." Tiana mumbled and with a wince, she was rolling out of the bed and she was quickly walking after him. Jon reached out a hand to her and Tiana smiled at the offer, before she took the hand.

"You are able to run at the speed of freaking light but exactly how do you know, when to use it?" Jon asked and then now, she was quickly looking over at him.

"Actually, I can run faster." Tiana said quickly with a small smile on her face, while Jon's grin was clear. "I can't hear everything like your dad but, I have a piece of technology that I got a surgeon at the DOD to implant just underneath my skin." She was letting go of his hand and she pushed up her sleeve, which revealed a small red dot that was beeping and blinking, just underneath her skin.

"What does it do?" Jon wondered.

"It starts beeping like a bomb in my arm when... Well, whenever there is trouble. I can also use the news as a guide now, for wherever the trouble usually is." She said and he nodded. "Or... I could also use the tracker that is located inside of your dad's super suit." She stated and Jon grinned at the words, before they were quickly going inside of the RV with Lois.

"How did you get away with putting a tracker inside of my dad's super suit?" Jon asked after they were completely done in the RV for the moment and then, she was finishing up her remaining homework.

"Oh, your dad absolutely knows that it's there." Tiana said as she was looking down at her Chemistry homework. "Electricity. It is ironically, my worst subject." She said as Jon looked at her.

"You mean, considering that your body reproduces electricity at an unprecedented rate?" Jon asked and she was nodding at the words, before she was looking down at the homework again.

"Yeah, pretty much." Tiana said and she shook her head in annoyance. "Normally I can speed-think my way through these, but electricity has always been my worst subject. My uh... One of my oldest friends is back in Central City and he is much, much better at it." She said and after Jon had left the room to do something else, she smirked.

"Finally!" Tiana said with clear relief becoming clearer in her voice, she finished the assignment and she looked up suddenly, sensing that something was wrong.

"Tiana!" She heard Lois scream and she took off in a burst of lightning.

"What's going on?!" Tiana asked and apparently now, the van was on lockdown and she could hear Jon screaming for help.

"It's going to kill him!" Lois screamed as Tiana's eyes flashed.

"Get back! Get out of the barn!" Tiana ordered as she was taking off in a burst of lightning, running in a circle through the barn and her eyes were flashing brightly with lightning.

"Help him!" Lois's voice echoed through her ears.

"You were born to carry this legacy. You were born for this, Tiana Allen. Not your brother."

"Mom, I'm not authorized! It's going to kill me!"

Tiana screamed with effort as she threw a heavy lightning bolt at the trailer and then as soon as the electricity stopped, she ran forward and opened the door. "Jon?" She asked and he was looking at her, his hands over his ears.
