"Daddy, make her okay again!" Lian begged, but even she knew that wasn't possible.
Megan's hands were over her mouth. "Poor Jenny..."
"And she was only 17," Robin added. His head was bent down in a formal gesture. His tracker started beeping rapidly, and the Air around us was swirling. "I'll call the League."
Superboy walked cautiously toward us, minding the Kryptonite. "So this is how humans die?"
I nodded, tears falling on Jenny's face. "But she didn't deserve to. I should've been the one who died."
Artemis patted my back awkwardly. "Don't take it too hard on yourself. Things happen."
I pressed my ear to her chest, hoping for a beat, but there was nothing. She was long gone.
"Here comes the League," Aqualad said, looking at the sky.
I looked up. Superman's red cape was easy to spot amongst the clouds, and Green Lantern brought other superheroes with his ring.
I didn't care much to mention the others. Superman landed on the ground, horrorstruck.
"Do wewe have any ideas on who did this?" he asked in a monotone voice.
"Clown guy!" Lian exclaimed, looking at the body.
Batman, Erica, and Red Tornado landed with GL, and Erica ran toward us.
"Oh God," she touched Jenny's forehead. "Oh Draco Spiritus, ubi es?"
"What?" KF asked, speeding toward us.
Erica sighed. "We've no hope. The Dragon Spirit should've called her kwa now." She wiped a tear from her eye.
Batman was suddenly behind her, and she flinched. "We'll have to take her in for an autopsy. That's all we can do."
Aqualad and Superboy brought a stretcher from the bioship, and placed Jenny on it. They strapped her in, and brought her back to the bioship.
"How are we gonna tell her family?" Megan wondered.
"We don't have to," Batman put in. "It's all over the news already."
"But it's a ghost town," Artemis said. "There can't have been any cameras around..."
"Yes, but since the explosion involved Kryptonite, anybody within a five-mile radius could hear it."
"Victoria will be heartbroken," I sobbed. "First her mom, then Jenny..."
There was an awkward silence after that. One kwa one, all the superheroes, including the team, found their own way to Gotham City.
Lian and I were last. I stared down at the death site of the Avatar, then walked away.
Christopher, Annaliese, Victoria, and a gray-haired man walked through the hospital doors. As soon as Vicky spotted the body, she burst into tears. Annaliese followed suit, whereas Chris just stood there, wide-eyed.
He and the gray-haired man knelt kwa the body, and I saw them making little prayers.
The team surrounded the family, au what was left of it. Megan hugged Jenny's sisters in a comforting way.
I walked toward to Chris. "I'm sorry, this is all my fault."
He bit his lip, hiding tears. "Don't blame yourself. We all know it was the Joker."
He looked so much like her. He had the same facial structure, the same brown hair. It was as if I was staring right at her, but I knew it was someone else.
The only difference between them was their eyes. He had dark brown eyes, while Jeannette had beautiful silver ones.
The gray-haired man caressed her cheek. "I should've been there. I haven't seen her for a month, and when I do, she's already dead."
I recognized him as their father. He had the same silver eyes like Jenny.
Chris stood up. "Dad..."
"Go call the funeral home," Mr. Thomas alisema in between tears.
Chris nodded, then left the room. I felt a little tap on my shoulder, then turned around.
"Let's go," Aqualad muttered. "Let them mourn her alone."
I nodded, then followed the team out of the room, leaving the family to cry over the loss of their Jeannette.
I found Chris in the hallway, talking into his phone, probably calling the funeral home.
"I'm not lying," he alisema into the phone. "I'm Chris Thomas, her brother."
I couldn't bring myself to comfort him, so I just walked down the hallway.
Megan's hands were over her mouth. "Poor Jenny..."

The New Adventures of Red Revenge
Episode One: Crimson Harvest
Prologue-
Sam tripped falling flat on his face in the mud. He stumbled up and continued running. Behind him he could hear the sound of a horse's hooves in hot pursuit and a vazi, pazia billowing through the grass.
"Pick up!" he whispered hoarsely into his microphone.
A rope leapt out at his ankles and tripped him.causing him to fall again. The grain in the field he was surrounded in clung to him. Sam rolled over to see Reaper's head blocking the crimson moon above. Reaper cocked a gun and pointed it at Sam's face.
"And now I finish it." he said, and pulled the trigger.
