The pink haired girl was never really into anything Star Wars. To be honest, it was a waste of time franchise to her and that it only kept to the hearts of geeks and loser. But alas, she had to suck it up and do the assignment no matter how much it pained her. It seemed that Rick hadn't paid much attention to her as he went about and did his own thing. It was half expected since most of the time they ignored each other unless the other was in trouble like the event that just took place. Even though Amethyst tried so hard not to care about what her other half of the family thought, there was still an inkling deep inside of her being that wished she got a chance to get to know them a bit better. Only time would tell if she would ever get the chance to build a bond with her speedster family.

After mulling over the script they were assigned, class was dismissed and Amethyst headed over to the A.R.C. as it was time for their occasional simulation test. For the time that Amethyst had attended the school, she just about had perfect simulation scores even though most of the missions ended up with her doing something reckless or careless that could have jeopardized her teammate's lives. The pink haired teen was never one to follow orders correctly. She always tried to do things herself because she was the type that thought her way was always the better alternative. However Amethyst was doing her best to turn over a new leaf so maybe this time would be a bit different.

She made inside the dome shaped building with the rest of her teammates on time and headed to the locker room to change into her A.R.C. outfit which wasn't the most fashionable, be she could make it work. After tying her pink hair into a high pony-tail, she walked over to the rest of the group just in time for Mr. John Stewart to give out the instructions for today's simulation. The old Green Lantern was quite assertive, causing a smirk to form on her lips when he forced a student out of the training room. She didn't like cocky bro types anyway so thank goodness all of that nonsense babble that had been going on behind her had come to an end.

[i]"Today's session will be done in two teams. The simulation will be pitting the 'Suicide Squad' against the 'All-Star Squadron.' Miss Kelly! You will be leading the All-Star Squadron alongside Mr. S'tonn. Mr. Roth, you will be leading the Suicide Squad along side Mr. Kent. Allen, Blackwell, Harper, Hughes, Kama, Lamont, Lancaster, Luthor and Norwich. You'll be making up the Suicide Squad under Mr. Roth and Mr. Kent. Balboa, Balore, Bordeaux, Dowie, Grayson, Kyle, Linden, Murray and Rexen. You nine will be joining Miss Kelly and Mr S'tonn as the All-Star Squadron. Please move to the left side entrance while the rest of you head to the right to take up your starting positions."[/i] 

Amethyst groaned and rolled her eyes so hard she thought she saw god. This had to be one of the worst teams to be on. Even though she was slightly exaggerating, she hated almost half the people on her side. Either way, she didn't want to tarnish her perfect simulation score so she had to make due with who she had. It was also kind of ironic she was placed on the hero side since she was raised by a well known villan. Sighing, she left with the rest of her team to the life side of the building to wait for the simulation to start. After being in the Waiting Room for few minutes, John Stewart's voice came over the intercom to issue the team's instructions.

[i]"Hello All-Star Squadron. As some of you are aware, each team has specific goals to accomplish throughout the course of the A.R.C. session. As the 'heroes' of our simulation you should be aware that the 'Suicide Squad' has taken over a remote research location in the Antarctic. In doing so, they've taken several hostages and have rigged the lab to explode. Your goal is to free the hostages and disable the explosives. Bonus marks will be given if you can recover the labs hard drives and re-active the neutralization bombs planted in the neck of each member of the Suicide Squad. Best of luck."[/i]

After the voice on the intercom ended, the countdown started from ten and counted down. Once it reached zero the doors opened and a blast of cold air almost knocked the wind out of Amethyst. Of all places, the simulation took place in an arctic tundra of sorts.

[color=pink]"OH. MY. GOD. You've [i]got[/i] to be kidding me!"[/color] Amethyst grabbed herself as she shook from the cold weather. Couldn't the base have been in the Florida Keys or something? She turned around and looked to S'tann who was one of the leaders of their team and listened in to his instructions

[i]"We'll split the team into multiple squads, to try and deal with as many objectives at once as we can. Alpha team will be composed of Amethyst, Richard, and Rita. Your job is to take down Kieran. The Kryptonian is their biggest gun; without him, they'll be demoralized and easier to defeat. Once we're closer I'll be able to telepathically scan the base and determine his location, and then relay that information to you."[/i]

Amethyst immediately shook her head at the commands. Yes, magic was a huge weakness to a Kryptionian but not every magic user should be fighting him. She felt at least one of them should go inside and either help with the bombs or the hostages. Before she could open her mouth, Mailsi put in what she had to say as if she read Amethyst's mind.

[i]"Swap me and Amethyst and you're golden Martian boy."[/i]

Thank goodness someone had some sense. [color=pink]"That's exactly what I was thinking."[/color] She was actually surprised at how well she was working with this team. Maybe it wouldn't be a total disaster after all. However she wasn't going to hold her breath. She looked towards the horizon and she could barely see the base. She could barely see anything at all which meant they needed to hurry and pursue forward. [color=pink]"Let's just hurry and get inside the base as soon as possible. We need to make this fast. I have a nail appointment later."[/color]
