I feel the adrenaline moving through my veins
Spotlight on me and I'm ready to break
I'm like a performer, the dance floor is my stage
Better be ready, hope that ya feel the same

...December 22, 2010...
It's a Wednesday. This whole week and next week we have break for Christmas and New Years. Richy has not talked to me since Friday. He hasn't even talked to Bolt till today.
Robin calls Artemis, Megan, Conner, and I to the mission room for an uncover mission. He gets right to the point, bringing up a holomap in front of him.
"Advanced weapons tech have been stolen at manufacturing plants throughout Europe. And each theft coincides with tour stops made by the Haly Circus. Batman is sending us undercover to catch the thieves," Robin says, pointing to the three locations on the map highlighted in red.
"This clown car have room for one more?" Roy asks, walking up to Robin midway through Robin's speech.
"Six? Seems like a little much for an undercover mission," I admit.
"Yeah. Uh, we've got this covered," Robin says.
"You've got the mission covered," Roy whispers, but Conner is able to hear with his super hearing. "But who's covering the four potential mole suspects you're bringing along?"
That brings us to our current situation.
"Damen and Herren, Madams and Monsieurs, Ladies and Gentlemen." The speaker appears in a puff of smoke, all lights on him. "Welcome to the Haly International Travelling Circus!" Jack Haly, the ringmaster introduces. "Where the world in the center ring is your oyster and these are our latest pearls! The Daring Dangers!" The light shines up to Robin. "Dan Danger!" Robin as he swings across the trapeze. "Daphne Danger!" Miss Martian as she heads toward him, going passed him and grabbing onto his last pole as he grabs hers. "Diane Danger!" Artemis as she aims an arrow. "Dane Danger!" Red Arrow as he aims his arrow. "Dawn Danger!" I walk across the tightrope above Robin and Megan without a balancing pole but an umbrella. "And Dean Danger!" Superboy as he's tossing around barrels like they weigh nothing. The archers shoot as Robin and Miss M go through the barrels that Superboy tossed up, and I hang upside down on the tightrope. The crowd cheers loudly. "You'll never see another trapeze act like this, folks, and all of it, without a net!"
Robin gave us all these names. Me getting Dawn wasn't a coincidence.
Robin goes to grab Miss M's hand but misses and begins to fall. The crowd gasps in fear and then begins screaming.
'Robin!' Miss Martian shouts.
'Don't blow our cover!' Robin shouts, noticing Megan about to take action.
'But saving your life's okay?" Superboy questions, throwing a barrel upwards so he can maneuver straight back to the martian's waiting hands.
His hands miss, but Miss Martian uses her powers to pull him into her grasp. The crowd oohs and ahs again.
'What did I just say?' Robin huffs.
'The crowd couldn't see me use telekinesis from below. Besides, I've been using it all night. I'm not exactly the acrobat you are,' Megan says.
'Yeah, neither am I right now. I think I caught that 24-hour bug that's been going around the circus. But the show must go on.'
We continue the performance until we finish. Then we all begin waving to the crowd once we all gather in one place.
