A perfect disguise, part one

Cleo had dropped in with news from C.H.A.S.E, I hope she'll post what exactly happened when she went there, but she might leave it till she gets back there. Anyway she said that C.H.A.S.E spies had seen the girl with the immunity ability, and traced her to the cinema where the fight with Shade and Leech had taken place, but she'd disappeared. It looked like she'd teleported, which was confusing. Dragon said that, like Damian, he could trace where she went. Diffy hid us as I flew us in, but I landed the FF a little way away behind the garage so we could approach normally, instead of suddenly turning up in front of passersby. Precog hadn't come, unhelpfully, he was sitting in the base leaning over his new book. We were still quite a large group as we walked along, because the new members of Zodiac had come along, including Gravity, who had been made Rooster, completing the group of twelve. Even Centaur had come along, consenting to return to full human form in order to go on the trip with us, he was very keen to become a proper part of the group, and wobbled ominously as his horse legs morphed into brown jeans (Chinos? I don't know) and bare feet. He refused to wear anything but sandals, saying shoes would feel too weird, and then clutched Doolittle for support as he stumbled and almost fell. 'Sorry.' he mumbled, grinning as he was helped upright again. 'I've had 4 legs for so long, 2 just feels weird. I'll get used to it, I'll be fine, don't worry.'

So we walked past the destroyed college, and Don, almost invisible in order to hide his ghostly-ness, tutted. 'You lot and your powers. You could fix it so easily if you wanted, I bet Lily could have it done in no time, instead of those builders taking months. Do they even know how it happened?'
I laughed. 'No. What could we say? 'Sorry, one of us, using a ring to give them super strength, threw a super powered villain into your chemistry lab while he was still on fire, causing him to blew it up, triggering all the powers he'd absorbed, making him explode, ruining the rest of the building, but don't worry, my cousin can reassemble things by waving her hands so we'll fix it for you?'
'You could have got Playwrite to wipe their minds, or just fix it the same night?'
'Lily wasn't there then. Besides, our powers are only to be used if we really need them, or an emergency, we mustn't mis-use our powers, or rely on them too much, we never know when we'll have to go without them.'
'Yesterday you re-filled your glass of water with a miniature raincloud!'
'That WAS an emergency! I was thirsty! Besides, your college sucked, it's no loss. Now shush ghostboy, you're making yourself visible again.'
'When you two are quite finished, I have a question?'
I turned to Cleo, who was looking at my Staff pointedly. 'We're trying not too attract too much attention, right, so why are you wearing the cape and carrying your staff?'
'It allows me to do small things in public without loads of covering up, so I can do a little bit without causing a fuss, if needed. Watch.' I used colour manipulation and made small sparks of coloured light shoot from my hand, and tiny fireworks leap into the air. A group of kids passing us looked round and clapped, and I waved my staff over there heads, creating a rainbow, arching it over them until it faded into sparkles of light, and then nothing. Then I sprouted a rose from my staff and handed to her, saying 'for my glamorous assistant' she actually laughed and lit her hair on fire, much to the amusement of the kids. we walked on and her hair returned to normal. 'Fair enough, but I'll get you for the assistant comment.'

A boy ran up to us, saying 'I found you! You're the wizards! My friend wanted my to wait for you. She said that a friend of hers wants the assistant lady to cure her.'
As we tried to translate this, we reached the cinema. Tildy looked at the construction, and touched a bit of bench. 'She was here. He's telling the truth. She used her power to vanish but that makes no sense. Oh, I've found your fight, wow, it's quite exciting, isn't it?'
Don was floating past, and stopped just by the doors. 'This is where Brian....' He floated over to a charred bit of pavement. 'Hey, this is where I was when I took the Wahhh!' He had reached out, as if trying to grab something we couldn't see, and sort of sucked into a point in the air with a pop! Tildy panicked. 'Dragon! That must be where she disappeared! Open it, without one of us he'll be sucked back into the formula!' Dragon nodded, and a heathaze appeared where Don had been, like a blur in reality. Tildy ran forward and vanished with a scream.
