Megan's POV

"She's asleep." Aqualad came back and we all looked at the mess. "Well I have to head home have fun guys." Wally says walking out. "Yeah my mom needs me home." Artemis walked out. "Bats will be expecting me." Robin finally ditched us. "Well we better get this cleaned up." I sighed. "Will you go dumb this out?" I asked Conner. He took the bucket and left. While I grabbed the broom and dust pan. I slept everything into the garbage. And Aqualad took it all out. Once Conner got back we wiped down the floor and just bid each other good night. They all went and laid down while I went to the kitchen to bake. Around four in the morning all the lights and appliances began to reduce in energy. Things flickered and it the mixer was slowing down and speeding up. I'm not sure how this happened things were all going wonky. I switched everything off but the microwave. And good thing I did because as soon as everything was unplugged the microwave exploded. I screamed and formed a shelf of pots and pans. Once the chaos of that had stopped the pots and pans fell and Conner and Aqualad rushed in. "Are you okay?" Aqualad asks. "I'm fine." I answered. Faintly I still heard the fizzle of the electricity from the microwave. "What happened?" Conner asks. "The microwave exploded." I answered. I glanced up at the flickering lights.

I noticed a change in it realizing the electricity was growing in them. I pulled both boys in and covered us with a shelf yet again. A shriek of horror emerged from down the hall as all the lights that were on burst. It the force embedded glass in everything in the kitchen. And sent Sparks showering everything. Another shriek made me lose focus and we all shot down the hall. "Sarah!" When we arrived at the electricity shot back into the room and we heard a gasp from inside. "Sarah?!" I hit the door. "Yeah?" She responded. "Are you okay?" Conner called. "Yeah I just had a nightmare." She responded. "Can we come in?" I ask. "No! I.....uhhhh.... I'll be out soon." She called. "Okay." Aqualad answers. We waited a while and she exited her room. It looked like she had tried to clear her face of tears but she was still all red and puffy. Her nose runny and her hair a disaster. She sniffled and I held my arms open. I had seen it so many times in a bunch of Earth shows. The mother or the older person offered the upset one a hug. And comforted them. She shot forward wrapping her arms around me. She cried and I held her tightly. No one here was fully human so we all did our best but I knew we couldn't do as good as people who have experienced this. Superboy hasn't even been alive for six months. Aqualad spent most of his life under water. And I'm from Mars. She just held onto me like she would die if she didn't. I hugged her tightly to me and waited for her to stop crying. "Megan! Superboy! Caulder!" Artemis shouted. She ran around the corner and Aqualad led her off. Conner looked at me and I nodded signaling that he could go. He walked off stiffly. I carefully lowered us to the ground. "Do you want to talk?" I ask. She shook her head. "Okay." I answered. "Let's go get you all cleaned up." I smiled leading her to the restroom she sat on the toilet seat as I dampened a wash cloth. "Why are you being so nice?" She asked me hiccupping. "Because it's what nice people should do." I answer walking over I crouched and wiped her face with it. She took a tissue and blew her nose.

"You're acting like a mom." She smiles. "Is that a good or a bad thing?" I ask. "I guess it depends. But so far it's okay." She responds. "That's good I guess." I smiled and take a brush. "Here so you can untangle your hair." I handed it to her. She shrugged and her hair lit up blue and purple spreading out to be not tangled. "That's handy." I pointed out. "Yeah it is." She smiled. "What happened in here?!" We heard someone scream. With out a second thought Sarah stood up and ran out and into the kitchen. I followed quickly and we both skidded to a halt. "What happened here? Who did this?!" Canary screams. We all looked around and a look of recognition passed in Sarah's eye. "I did." She responded.

Sarah's POV

"What?!" Canary shouted I flinched slightly. "I'm sorry." She responded. "Sorry? Sorry?!" She grew louder. "Canary." Aqualad states she looked at him and he shook his head. "I expect this all cleaned up before I get back." She sighs and leaves. "Sorry guys." I sighed. "It's no problem really at least we have an electrician in the house." Robin smiles. Wally laughed and went getting the light bulbs. Megan used her powers and put away all the broken pieces Artemis and Superboy put up the covers. They all looked at me. "Okay give me a minute." I sighed. Holding my arms out I gathered the electricity and let it disperse. I fixed the wires and pulled electricity through it. I spent ages putting all the wires back together and making the connections. "Where is Sarah?" Asks Canary as she walks into the room. "She's fixing the wiring." Answers Robin. "She's messing with the power system?!" Shouts Canary. I re-formed my self and looked at her. "No ma'am I was simply reconnecting the wires in the walls and lights." I say. "Oh.... Do you do this often?" She asks. "Always." I respond. "Wally the lights should be fixed." I smiled we all cleared away from the lights and waited as Wally flipped the light switch. And we watched intently as the lights flickered and then turned on. I sighed and looked at it happily.

"I've got to hand it to you guys you did really well." Canary says. "We might just need a new microwave..." Megan says and all of us look over. She was right the wires were everywhere black explosion marks covered the gray metal. "Oh... Yeah I'll get on that." Canary says. "Can I have the old one?" I ask. "What?" They ask. "Can I have the old microwave?" I ask again. "Sure?" Canary says. I laughed evily and raced forward. I unplugged the microwave from it spot and forced it out. I ran to my room still laughing leaving the confused team and Canary.

Canary's POV

"Explain now." I stated in a hushed voice. "She doesn't have control while she's asleep." Aqualad explained. "She needs to get control. We can't have this happen again. And what happens when we do that excersize where we put you all to sleep??" I glared. "We will help her and get it under control by then." Aqualad said. "I hope so, we don't want her or any of you getting hurt." I responded turning to leave.

Sarah's POV

"We'll help her get it under control by then." I heard Aqualad as I walked up to the kitchen. I quietly moved to the wall. "I hope so, we don't want her or any of you getting hurt." Canary responded then I heard the Zeta go off and she was gone. I took a deep breath and tore my face into a smile before bouncing into the room. "Hey guys." I chirped fakely. "Hey, Sarah, are you feeling better." Megan asked. "Absolutely." I nodded. "I'm going to go get breakfast for everyone." Wally smiled leaving quickly. I sat on the stool and watched as everyone just waited for Wally to get back. "So you had a night mare?" Artemis asked. "Yep." I nodded spinning my self around and around on the stool. "Careful you'll get dizzy." Megan says. "It takes a lot to make me dizzy." I responded spinning my self faster. "What was your nightmare about?" Robin asked. I accidentally let go of the fast spinning stool and fell off. Quite comically I might add. "Hey are you okay?" Megan asked quickly while everyone snickered. "Yeah I'm good." I groaned slightly standing up. Megan pulled me up and I laughed with them. "Anyway so what was your dream about." Robin asked finally after we had stopped laughing. "I..." I trailed off and he stepped forward laying a hand on my shoulder. "We have to know we want to help you." He said softly. I nodded. "Well it started as a memory. About when the accident happened... But then I closed my eyes and when I opened them again...." I took a deep breath. "The two little girls I had saved were in front of me. They were crying. And scared and I couldn't stop the electricity from running through their veins. It was mine. But I couldn't save them. I was laughing at their death. What kind of monster could do that?" I put my head in my hands and tried to breathe. "It wasn't you." Aqualad tried to reason. "Who else could it be? Only I have my wave length. I can recognize it anywhere." I sighed. "It was just a dream. We all know you wouldn't do that." Artemis responded. "What if I lose control? You guys saw what happened when I had a simple nightmare." I muttered. "We'll help you get control over it. We have a week before we all go into a training excersize while we are in a trace. By then we should have it under control. You can do it." Superboy smiled. It felt so great to have friends who cared this much.
