-Jaime's POV-

I started at the computer screen, looking back and forth between the pictures. This girl, it was her. It was Tiffany. She looked a lot different from the last time i've seen her of course, but its her, for sure. The same dark eyes, that hid some many secrets that just wanted to be told. The same stern, rebellious look on her face. You can tell this photo was taken a while after she got her scar, because the scar looked red and pufffy. But it only made her look more tough, and beautiful.

I always thought Tiff was pretty. Her looks and personality were perfect. Shes been through a lot at such a young age but she always had a smile on her face, and tried to be nice to everyone. Even to those bullies. I loved watching her play with her dolls or paint. She would always tried to make me paint with here, but i wasn't as talented as her, so i just admire her painting skills. 

About 5 years ago, we had to move again, just to a different house, and in the process of moving, i lost all contact between her. Her email and phone number. I tried to find them online, but she moved from foster home to foster home so much, it was hard to keep track of her. Then about 3 years ago, i became the Blue Beetle and i just gave up trying to find her, because it had become too difficult. And nows she here. In the same building. What are the odds.

"Got a match! Or so i think... there are like 10 different names! Which one could be her real name?" Robin said scrolling through all the names that appeared under the picture.

"I think is Drew. She looks like a Drew." Said Wonder Girl.

"No. More like Sam. She has that tough Sam look." Beast Boy said, crossing his arms at W.G.

" Don't you aurge with me! I can beat you to a pulp!"

"Oh yeah? I can turn into a dino and smash you under my foot!"

"Bring it on Green Boy!"

"Your on-"

" Her name is Tiffany." I said arms crossed, looking down.

" What? How are you so sure? The name isn't even on the chart..." Robin said looking through all the names agains.

"Well me and her... we use to be good friends until i moved away. I haven't talked to her in almost 6 years, buts its her." I replied, head down. I didn't want anyone seeing my expression.

"How come you didn't tell us that in the room?" B.B said.

"I didn't know it was her! Not until now. I'm positve its her." I replied.

"Oh. Well can you tell us what you know about her?" Robin said trying to find info about Tiffany on the screen.

"Well like i said i haven't talked to her in almost 6 years. But i know shes an orphan, so she hops between foster family to foster family. She's a runaway. She obviously changes her name between foster familys, so i don't know her real last name." I said staring at the screen, as Robin found a website on Jump City runaways. He scrolled down the page and sure enough, found Tiffany's picture. He clicked on the photo and a page all about Tiffany popped up.

"Okay... okay. According to this website. She's has a slight criminal record for getting into fights... and of course running away from foster homes and girl homes. She has no family that we can contact, and like you said, no one knows her true last name. Shes quite a cases." Robin sat down on the chair, rubbing his chin. Wonder Girl was looking through all her foster parents and Beast Boy and Impulse were walking up stairs. I didn't want to be in a room with just those two so i decided to go somewhere else.

I left them two to do there own thing and walked into the sick room. I walked to Tiffany sick room and unglazed the glass that seprated me and her. Her fire wasn't ablaze anymore but her orange aura was still present. I pulled up a chair and looked at the monitors. They were still beating a steady beat, and everything seemed to be fine. Heart beat was steady and her I.V was dropping to the sound of her heartbeat. I can't believe shes here. Just on the other side of that glass. I propped my feet on the table and laid my head back. I closed my eyes and fell asleep to the sound of her heart beat.

*BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP* 

That was that sound that work me up, making me fall out of my chair onto the floor. I quickly got up and looked inside the room. Tiffany was making what seemed like a fire tornato. Fire swirled around her making her stand straight up. I can see her eyes were still closed. Shes waking up! Holy Crap shes waking up! Robin and W.G came running into the sick room and beelined to Tiffanys room, punching in the key and running in. I ran in after them and suited up. 

The heat in the room was unbearable. The bed and walls were slowly starting to melt. Even in my suit i was starting to sweat. * The heat in this room is too hot for us Jaime Reyes. You need to do something quick unless you want to perish from the heat.* My scarab said. 

"No shit..." I said to myself. 

"BLUE! YOUR THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN GET CLOSE ENOUGH TO HER WITHOUT BURNING! YOU HAVE TO PULL OFF ALL THE I.V'S AND MEDICATION THAT IS ATTACHED TO HER! AND THEN DO SOME SORT OF ATTACK ON HER TO WAKE HER!" Robin yelled. The fire tornado was so loud that we had to yell to talk to each other and was so strong that it was beginning to melt and pull everything into the tornado. 

" GOT IT!" I flew at top speed to the I.V's, trying not to get sucked into the tornado, and easily pulled off all the wires connected to her. I saw her begin to stir around in her sleep as i pulled off what looked like the sleep medication. The tornado slowed down a bit, but was it was still going strong. Now i had to attack... i have to attack her. I dont wanna do that.. * You have 30 seconds Jaime Reyes. If you do not attack now, the tornado will go into full speed, melting everything in its path. I looked at W.G and Robbin, who were hanging on to dear life. I have to do it. Now. I open up my Sonic gun in her direction and hit her square in the chest. Tiffany was knocked all the way over to the opposite wall. She hit the wall and fell on the floor with a loud thud. Thankfully the tornado stopped and everything that was being pulled into it dropped to the ground. 

Robin and W.G ran to her side, as she began to stir around. I flew over to her and watched as she pulled herself up, rubbing her head. She turned toward me and i gasped. Her eyes looked liked little fires... wait... they WERE fire. Her eyes seemed to be hollow and the space was taken up by tiny little fires. She blinked and they disappear, like they were never there. Instead they were replaced with her chocolate brown eyes. 

She looked up and seemed to just realized we where there, because she suddnley got up hitting her head once again and stumbling. I caught her before she can fall and was once again enchanted by her looks. The way her scar ran down her face, the way a few strand of her hair was covering her face and how her mouth was slighly open in amazement. She couldn't see my face, but i wondered if she would recognize me with out the mask. What her reaction would be when she saw me out of my suit. 

" Don't worry. We got you." I said to her as i placed her on her feet. She just nodded as W.G grabbed her arm and directed her out of the sick room.

*You should be grateful Jaime Reyes. You saved her and everyone else in the room.*

"Its hard to be grateful, when you have a million emotions running through your head hermono." I said to my scarab as i walked out of the room to meet everyone in the main room.
