A cranky math teacher isn't too impressive compared to Darkseid

I got my first detention this week. I hated having to come home and get Ma to sign the notice, but I couldn't help it. The teacher said I just wasn't paying attention, but I really was trying, it's just hard when I know there's something going on. No one wants to talk to me about it, but I know something is coming. Sand is making up a whole new team, everyone who comes to visit the brownstone seems more tense than usual, and I overheard someone say that Rob and Bart met Connor at the old Justice Cave.

It's weird. When Darkseid took my powers away, I was happy. I mean, I cried when Bart hugged me because I could actually feel his arms, and I loved just walking around and feeling the wind blowing on my face, instead of blowing me away. And I still do love that stuff, but when Sand and his team came back from whatever it was they were doing, the all seemed so happy about what they did. Even the Green Lantern, and he had to have Mr Gardner carry him in on a stretcher. I mean, it's nice being able to go to school with normal kids, and to be one myself, but it was nice to be able to help people, and do more than just stand around while other people do the big stuff.

Oh well. I guess it's easy to miss being Secret when I don't have to worry about the DEO coming after me. I have to admit, though, at least when I was mist I didn't get sick. This cold is starting to drive me nuts.
