Chapter One: Heroes
I follow my brother down the streets of Happy Harbor towards tonight's target, a warehouse that has the next item he needs to please The Buyer. We approach the building and John nods to me, I know what to do. I reach out with my power and feel the minds inside the warehouse. 'four, four, why are there four? John said there would be two guards only.' I shrug it off and continue with my mental attack. 'No no, not attack, I'm not attacking, I don't hurt people, not like..' I stop my line of thoughts and continue my mental actions. I soothe them, smothering their alertness and expanding their tiredness, 'carefully, thats it, its been a long day, nothing ever happens, it's Happy Harbor, it'll be fine, rest, nothing will happen, just rest it'll be fine just rest.' I sense all but one of the minds slip into a slumber and the last one is really drowsy. 'No need to tell John, it'll be fine, I'll go check it out.' I nod to John to signify that it's all clear and we simply walk in. John goes towards whatever item in the dull warehouse we need. I walk the other direction to the two extra minds. I walk into a large room and look around. There's piles of boxes everywhere and on top of some near a window into the main chamber are two people in silly costumes laying down. I realise with a start that their the young heroes from tv, Robin and Zatanna wasn't it? Zatanna is trying to wake Robin up.
"That won't work, he's contented, sound asleep, wont wake up for an hour at least," I say my voice echoing through the room and Zatanna looks up at me and says some gibberish before flying over to me and pushes me against the wall.
"What did you do to him!" Zatanna shouts.
"Shuuuush, John might hear you,' I shudder, if John finds out he's be angry, I'm not supposed to run off, "I just gave him some well earned sleep.' Zatanna says something in gibberish wich sounded like.
'Laever reh eurt mrof' or something of the sort, total gibberish.
She gasps and slaps me.
"Release him from you demonic spell demon spawn" she hisses.
"No, he's just sleeping, it's just sleeping," I say tears coming out of my eyes and trying to use my powers to soften her.
"Don't use your Devilish tricks on me demon spawn!" she shouts and I flinch away and start crying harder. She begins to loosen her grip right before John charges in.
"LET MY SISTER GO!" he roars at Zatanna and she lets go in shock. I slip away and go hide behind some boxes. I hear crashing and yells for the next couple minutes until all goes silent. I peek around the box and see Zatanna bleeding on the floor with John standing over her. I reach out to Zatanna and soothe her, put her to sleep to slow her heartbeat so she doesn't lose as much blood. I then give Robin a little more energy, and he begins to awaken. I climb from behind the box and John runs over to me and hugs me.
"Are you okay? Did she hurt you?' john asks and I shake my head. He lets go them grabs my arm tightly "I've told you not to run off like that!" he yells and hits me "we need to go but we are talking about that later! Please understand that I'm doing what's best for you sister" tears fall down my face and I nod, he's only doing what's best for me. I grab his hand and we leave the room.
Three Weeks later
I put the guards to sleep with my power and follow john as he goes into the warehouse and he walks over to a certain box and opens the lin. A bright green glow indicates that it is in fact the Kryptonite. John waves over two men he hired for today's raid and they pick up them bin and carry it to the door. John and I are about to leave when heroes burst through the windows all around, how did I not sense them? The form a circle around us.
"Gosh dangit you useless piece of trash! Why didn't you sense them?!" John demands.
"I don't k- know," I say then spot Zatanna, "maybe the magician learned how to block my powers?" I stutter out trying to show that it isn't my fault.
"Stop stating the obvious you idiot!" John replies and charges at the heroes. I look around and spot someone I think I can knock out without hurting to badly and charge them. I sprint towards the person I decided to target, the archer Artemis and dodge an arrow and am within a distance were hand to hand is needed instead of long range combat and strike Artemis in the stomach. She retaliates and punches me in the face. I stagger back from the blow allowing her to kick my in the forehead knocking me out.
