A Certain Scientific Superhero Book 3: Special

'Useless' Should Not Be In Your Vocabulary.

Mikoto desperately tried to swing herself to the wall using electricity, but to no avail. Her esper ability was too drained.

Mikoto closed her eyes, preparing for the impact of the asphalt..

Except it never came.

The wind was pounding her face from a different direction. One of Mikoto's eyes opened and she saw that Jason's arm was wrapped around her torso, and he was grappling to the next building over.

"I didn't need your help!" Mikoto snapped.

"Sure..."

"I could of handled that!"

"Shut up!" the Robin snapped. "Just run off, why don't you! You should of stayed with me, and we would have figured something out. But noo, you ran off and got yourself injured!" Mikoto huffed.

"I liked you better when you were a gun-slinging maniac.."

"WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT!?"

Mikoto was in Mount Justice, with bandages covering half of her face and her torso. She was arguing with Aqualad about her going on a mission.

"No." Aqualad said firmly.

"Why?" Mikoto protested. "I can't miss out on a mission 'cause I hurt my eye!"

"You recklessly left your spot last time. Until I am sure that won't happen again, you will stay here." Aqualad stated in a tone that said he wasn't going to budge. Mikoto glared at him.

"Don't even try." Aqualad turned around. "That has nothing on the Bat-Glare."

Mikoto was about to burst with frustration as Batman gave the debrief. In the end, it was Jason, Miss Martian, Superboy, Artemis, and Aqualad, along with Zatanna, off to Spain

"Don't worry." Tula comforted Mikoto as they sat together on the bar stool.

"I just feel so useless." Mikoto muttered.

"Pfft, don't be ridiculous." Rocket, a dark skinned girl with short brown hair and multiple ear piercing smiled. "Your the powerhouse of our team. 'Useless' should not be in your vocabulary."

"Still." Mikoto grumbled. "I freaked out, so what? D- Nightwing told me of a time Supey went crazy and left, and how he used to leave all the time! Why is it so big a deal when I do it?"

She jumped as she heard Tula slam her hands on the wood table. "That's it!" the Atlantean declared. "We are going for some good-old Atlantean fun time! Come on!" She grabbed Mikoto and Rocket's arms, hauling them to the zeta-tube.

"Whoah!" Rocket gasped as Tula released her death grip. "What are you doing?"

"What do you think?" Tula rhetorically asked. "We are going Atlantis!"

"Atlantis!?" Mikoto and Rocket's jaws dropped.

"We need rebreathers." Mikoto suggested, her eyes lighting up as she flew to the back room to get them.

"And swim suits." Rocket added. "I have mine in my bag, since I was gonna go to the pool with my friends later. Sparks! Get your swim suit!" Rocket yelled to her esper friend.

"On it!" Mikoto's voice was heard from the hall, before she came back with four rebreathers, (two for spare) wearing her white and pink two piece swimsuit.

"Wow, Sparks! You must like the childish brands, but that's still adorable!" Rocket praised. Mikoto turned beet red.

"What!? Oh, no, this isn't my usual swimsuit, it's just one that I, uh, bought for my sister! Yeah, that's it!"
