“What does Becca's past have to do with any of this?” Willow asked.
“You know she used to work for Talia Al Ghul?”
Both Erin and Willow nodded.
“She was part of the League of Shadows. Becca was her assistant. Becca has had to do many things she regrets. But she was stilling working for Talia when she first came to Young Justice for help. Becca sought redemption and left. Serepta was hunting for her but Becca was found. I do not know what Talia wanted when Becca first came. All I know is something happened and Becca has been feeling guilty over it ever since.”
“Why? She can't help it!” Erin exclaimed.
“I know that. But Becca has become strong. She thinks she was weak, needing to have a home. So she guilts herself.”
“But everyone needs a home!” Willow joined in.
“Willow, Erin. bạn guys know that. But put yourself in Becca's shoes. She's been ripped away from several homes. Before she was adopted bởi the Stevens' couple, she was called an orphan, a monster. And since the age of three, Becca has grown to believe that all her life. I know it's not true, but Becca has trouble believing anything but that. She tries to fool herself. But she can't. Too much pain in her past to trust herself. But maybe she'll find someone who can hiển thị her the truth.”
“C'mon ladies! Pick up the pace.”
“I feel insulted!” Billy exclaimed.
“You were! You're a speedster and bạn can't follow my pace? Maybe bạn have two left feet!”
“Heh. Billy might but bạn sure don't.”
“Flattery gets bạn nowhere, Beck. C'mon! bạn guys! Alright! Stop!”
The âm nhạc stopped and Becca faced the group.
“So far, morgan and Alexis are the only ones good enough! bạn boys better step up your game. But I have to ask, am I moving too fast?”
“Yes!” Tanner exclaimed.
Becca smiled. She went over to the boombox, switching CDs.
“Okay. Then I'll need to teach bạn a simple dance that's not as fast. But it's a little slow. And it requires a partner. Hmmm....Billy come here.”
Billy looked nervous as he came to the front. Becca played the âm nhạc and looked at Billy.
“Okay. This is a waltz. You'll need to learn from this dance. It'll teach bạn all to follow one person no matter how hard. Okay. Morgan, I want bạn and Tanner to do this with me. Now morgan and I are going to switch off every now and then. I want bạn to see how our eyes never leave our partner.”
The âm nhạc played and both Becca and morgan lead the two guys into a series of steps. When they switched off, the two girls made the transition smoothly. bởi the end of the song, all four were dancing to the beat in perfect rhythm.
“That's how it's done!” Becca cheered. “Good work! Now, we have a small problem. There may be six of you. But four guys. I need to think of something.”
“We can get Melody,” morgan advised.
“Who's she?”
“She's our tech girl. bạn were going to meet her later but now's as good as ever.”
“Kay. Get her.”
morgan flew off. She returned a few phút later with a fifteen năm old girl. Melody's hair was black, her eyes a sea blue.
“Becca Stevens. Pleasure to meet you.”
“Same here Melody. bạn don't go on missions?”
“No. I'm thêm techy. I can't fight. But I'll be working with bạn when they go off on missions.”
“Well, get ready for a dancing lesson. Thanks for helping.”
“No problem.”
Becca smiled at the girl before looking at the group.
“Okay. Morgan, let's put bạn with Tanner, Alexis with Alder. Melody, you're with Billy. Beck, you're with me. Let's get started on a faster dance.”
“I still don't see how this is going to help us fight,” Billy muttered.
“You'll be lighter on your feet, making bạn thêm graceful and even faster. Enjoy it.”
Becca stuck her tongue out at him playfully before the âm nhạc started and she started them off.
“You know she used to work for Talia Al Ghul?”
Both Erin and Willow nodded.

Robin:
i decided to take a quick walk to get Artemis and Wally's yelling out of my head. there where little snowflakes falling and frost gathered on the ground, the harbor had a happy Christmasy feel to it, i walked bởi a little group of kids and they were singing.
"Dashing through the snow, in a pair of broken skis over the hills we go crashing into trees bam, bam, bam the snow is turning red i think i'm almost dead woke up in the hospital with stitches in my head" the song was odd but the kids were laughing, bạn just had to smile, but then the kids went on to the một giây verse.
"Jingle bells, Người dơi smells," WAIT WHAT?! my eyes widen
"Robin laid and egg," I glare and stomp up the sidewalk, but the kids are still singing
"The Bat-mobile Mất tích its wheel and Joker flew away HEY, jingle bells, jingle bells.........." i mutter stupid kids

Red Revenge stepped out of the transporter to find Artemis waiting for him in full costume.
"Didn't take Boy Wonder long to figure out where I live, did it?" he asked, walking past her.
Artemis glared at him, but ran up beside him.
"Let me guess, bạn want to talk about why I act like a jerk." Revenge said, still not looking at the archer.
"Actually, I thought we could go out for ice-cream." Artemis said.
Duh, duh duh!
