The Guardians turn to see the Elementals standing in front of them. The Guardians laughed and said,

"This is going to be easy."

"Not if you have something to say about it," said Mercy as she shot a fireball at one of the Guardians. The Guardian just smiled a caught the fireball and turned it to ice. Mercy was shocked, but soon the ice ball was flying back at her. She quickly shot a stream for fire at the ice ball. The ice melted but now a fireball was coming right at her. Because she was fire, she let the fireball hit her. The force of the fireball throw her back onto the ground.

"Mercy are you okay?" Calvin asked.

"Yeah I am fine, but I not sure how to defeat this guy," replied Mercy.

"I am not sure I know how to either," said Calvin.

"Do you give up," said the Guardian with a laugh.

"Never," said Mercy as she makes another fireball and throws it at him. Again, the Guardian caught the fireball but instead of covering it with ice he just through it back at her. Mercy was waiting for it to hit her when she saw ice cover it. The ice melted right away and the water fell into the fireball putting it out.

"I think I just figured out who do defeat this thing," said Kristopher. The Guardian frowned then through an ice ball at Kristopher. Kristopher prepared to take the hit when I ice ball caught fire. The ice put out most of the fire but there was still a small fireball headed his way. He got ready to jump out of the way when water consumed the fireball put the fire out. Right after the water went out the water came back to the hand of Wayne. Wayne just smirked. Kristopher smirked back at him.

"Well I thought it would put out my fire. Hmm I guess not," said Mercy.

"Yeah you could have seriously hurt me," said Kristopher in a frustrated voice.

"Guys this is not the time to argue. We got to kill this thing and all the others," replied Wayne, "Everyone find your weakness and learn to work together. That is the only way to defeat these things."

"Wait don't do this," came a voice. They turned to see Tarah heading straight towards the Guardians.

"Tarah what are you doing," screamed Wayne as he took off after her, "You are going to get yourself killed. Kristopher quickly pulled him back and said,

"Don't try it. It looks like they are listening to her."

"Leave them alone. I know they have unbalanced the Earth but there must be a better way to resolve this than death," said Tarah to the Guardians.

"And what would that be," replied one of the Guardians.

"I don't know. Maybe you could make some sort of protection around the Headquarter until we are ready to fight the Government. Or better yet you can help us defeat the Government," replied Tarah. The Guardians looked at each other then said,

"We will need to think about this. Until then you should not practice anymore and the Earth will balance out and you will go back to normal." Tarah nodded. The Guardians then returned to the ground from which they came. Tarah turned to everyone and said,

"Well you heard them no more practicing and the Earth will balance out as will I."

A week went by and Tarah was finally back to her normal self, but with that she knew she needed to confront Wayne about what happened between her and Randolph, so she decided to go look for him and tell him about what happened. While on her way, she ran into Randolph.

"Hello. I was just on my way to see you," he said.

"Oh. What were you wanting to see me about?" She asked. Randolph swallowed hard and said,

"Umm how do I say this. I really like you." Tarah was about to respond when she felt something press against her lips and body forcing her against a tree. Knowing that it was Randolph she pushed him away and said,

"I am sorry but I don't like you the way you like me and what happened that morning wasn't right and it doesn't give you the right to try and make it happen again. I wasn't myself that morning.

"What happened that morning?" A voice asked from behind them. They turned to see Wayne with an unhappy look on his face. Seeing Wayne's face, Randolph said,

"I think I better get going."

"No, you are going to stay right here," replied Wayne in a forceful voice. His voice caught Randolph off guard. Wayne had never sounded like that before and Randolph didn't want to find out the outcome if he were to leave.

"I say we find somewhere private to sit and talk," said Tarah feeling nervous the Wayne would think she was hiding this from him. So, they went to Wayne's house.

"So who is going to spill first?" Wayne asked. At the same time, Randolph and Tarah said,

"It was my fault." Wayne continued to stare at them.

"No Tarah, it's not your fault you couldn't control yourself and it's time that I own up to what I did. Wayne, what I did was very shameful and I am sorry I put Tarah in that situation. I let my emotion get the best of me and Tarah and I had a very intense make-out session," said Randolph. Wayne showed no emotions in his face turned to Tarah and asked,

"Is this true or did more than a make-out session happen?"

"Yes and if it hadn't been for Randolph realizing what he was doing was wrong and stopping, it would have turned into something more," she replied.

"I see. In that case, Randolph I am glad you could control yourself before it got too far. If you want to leave you can leave now," said Wayne in a nicer voice then before.

"Yes, I am glad to get this off my chest but I must help prepare lunch," said Randolph. With that Randolph left leaving Wayne and Tarah to themselves. Wayne turned to her. She turned away from him with shame. Wayne lightly smiled, grabbed her waist, and pulled her to him saying,

"I understand that you are ashamed for what happened but what happened wasn't your fault."

"I know but I just feel sick when it is brought up," said Tarah still not looking at him. Wayne gently turned her face to him and said,

"I know it wasn't you so I am not going to hold it against you. I know that you like me and would never do something to make me upset. Now can you please forgive yourself and go back to your happy self." Tarah smiled at him and said,

"Okay." Wayne kissed her forehead and said softly,

"That's my girl."

After finishing their conversation, they headed up to the Headquarter for lunch.
