Chapter 1

Santa Prisca

June 19, 00:43 ECT

I stood in on a large metal pathway against the wall watching the arena closely, waiting for the action to begin. Looking down in distaste at the red cloak I was forced to wear, I lifted my hand up and touched the black mask covering half my face and swiped my neon pink bangs from my eyes. A noise down in the small makeshift arena made me look at the two figures standing in it. The one male was a Mexican man wearing jeans and a black wife beater, who had thick red wires filled with some type of liquid making his muscles grow at an alarming rate, till he was suddenly larger and stronger. Across from the Mexican man, who was named Bane, was a skinny and tall boy in a dark blue wife beater that cut off in the middle of his waist and black pants, with reddish brown hair. I watched as the girl beside him, wearing the same thing, stepped up and injected him with a purple serum type thing.

My eyes widened in surprise as the boy started making strangled pain filled noise and stumbled forward, falling to his knees. All of a sudden the boy's muscles started to ripple underneath his skin, before his back snapped backwards and he let out a shriek of pain and his boy tripled in size and muscular density. His teeth started to grow larger and sharper, resembling long wolf teeth and his shirt ripped from his body, tearing into ting shreds and falling to the ground. Behind him the girl closed the bar door and stared out at Bane, who narrowed his eyes, masking his surprise.

Quickly the large beast – Mammoth – charged forward, growling and snarling at Bane, before slamming his arm down onto Bane, who tried to block only to be pushed backwards. Bane retaliated with an upper cut to Mammoth's jaw, then a solid punch to his gut. They stood there for several seconds looking at each other before Mammoth slammed his hand down onto the back of Bane's neck before striking him in the stomach, then hitting him several more times before throwing him into a metal pipe. As Bane hit the ground Mammoth sped forward faster than the eye could see, before he slammed Bane into the pole once more, making it break open and smoke billow out from the dent.

I tried looking through the fog only to see two blackened figures, only to see Bane thrown from the smoke and into the ground. Mammoth quickly followed and landed on Bane and slammed his face into the ground. The hit looked so painful that even I along with several other people around flinched. I narrowed my eyes as I stared at Bane who was twitching on the ground in pain, while Mammoth slowly stood from his fallen opponent's body.

Slowly around the room everyone, besides me, in a red cloak and black mask started to chant, "Hail, Kobra. Hail, Kobra. Hail, Kobra." over and over again. My eyes flickered around the room looking from Bane's fallen body, Mammoth, and the tall man standing proudly on the highest floor level, looking down at the arena.

"Hail, Kobra." I mumbled before turning around and walking out.

(**-**)

Slowly I walked through the hallways of The Venom Factory, which produced and shipped the Venom serum. Several weeks ago I infiltrated the Cult of the Kobra under the orders of The Justice League. Seconds ago when Mammoth beat Bane the Cult of the Kobra, we gained control over The Venom Factory and are now combining the Venom drug with Project Blockbuster, creating Kobra-Venom. The Project Blockbuster was something I had heard the League talk about, but other than that I didn't get much information on it. Knowing that I would have to let the League know about this I had quickly left the arena and headed for a bathroom nearby.

Quickly I stepped into the women's washroom and locked the door. As I went down the row of stalls I opened each one, checking to see if anyone was in here. Once I made sure the bathroom was clear I stepped up to the mirror and pulled off the cloak I was wearing and the black mask. This caused my neon pink hair to fall out of its makeshift knot and into my face and on my shoulders; reaching my elbows. I pulled back the silky and smooth hair from out of my face and threw it over my shoulder, and looked into my neon pink, almost glowing, cat eyes. Looking at the mirror I scanned over my outfit, looking at my pink tank top, tight black mid waist leather jacket and black skinny jeans with a pink belt.

I bent down and pulled a small pink compact out of my black combat boot, before standing to my full height and opening the mirror. Slowly I pressed on the open button three times before the mirror flickered and turned into a small screen.

"Jinx to Watchtower. Jinx to Watchtower." I said to the mirror before it flickered once more and the Batman's face appeared.

"Watchtower here. What did you find Jinx?" He asked me, with his normal threatening tone and glare.

"Kobra has just taken over the Venom Factory on Santa Prisca. Their stopping the shipment of the venom serum and mixing the serum with something they called Project Blockbuster."

"Mmm, this may be a problem." Batman said to himself glaring into nothingness. "I'll send the team in right now."

"No!" I shouted and he narrowed his eyes even further at me, making me flinch internally. "I mean, I've heard a rumor that the head of Kobra is going to having a buyer come by on the 22nd. Wouldn't it be better to have the team come then so that we can capture the buyer too?" I mumbled, trying to avoid his glare.

"… You may be right, but you said this is only a rumor. The team will be sent on the 22nd. Just make sure you don't get caught, we don't need to be saving you." He said before cutting off the transmission feed. I smiled slightly knowing that he was actually concerned about my well-being. Given that when the when my mentor joined the League I spent a lot of time at Watchtower, because I lived with her and she started living in the Watchtower. I was 7 when this happened and I was dotted on by the members of the League, mostly the women, Flash and Hal Jordon. The members of the League grew fond of me and when my Mentor died last year, they started acting more protective of me, even though they didn't notice I did. With a sigh I placed the mirror back into my boot and pulled my hair into a knot at the nape of my neck. I fiddled with the black chocker necklace on my neck before putting the cloak and mask back on, and leaving the silent bathroom.


This is my first fanfiction posted and I would love to get reviews.

Also I didn't get a chance to look it over for spelling and grammar mistakes, but I will soon.
