Chapter 2
Santa Prisca
June 22
It's been three days since my last talk with Batman. So far today all I got was a message saying that the Team was on the island.
"I finally get to go home. I've been stuck with this stupid cult for so long; I've lost count of ever boring second." I thought to myself, as I walked down a long corridor. After a while I eventually left the building through a certain door and continued till I reached the edge of the forest. Once there I walked up towards a large rock sitting there. I quickly scanned my surroundings before I bent down and pushed, with all my might, on the rock. Once the rock was out of the way I bent down and dusted away the wet and mud covered leaves on the ground. Lying underneath was a sheet of metal built into the ground. I stood up, brought my arm out from underneath my red clock and snapped my fingers. As my fingers snapped pink sparks came from my hand and the sheet of metal popped up from the ground. I reached down and moved the metal to the side to reveal a long ladder leading into darkness. Letting out a shaky breath I stepped down on to the first ring of the ladder, before stopping. I looked towards the star filled sky, through the trees, and at the bright moon before rolling my eyes.
"I've done this two times in the last three days. Stop being a wimp." I thought with a growl, before I reached out of the hole and pulled the metal back over top, shrouding me in darkness. Quickly I scrambled down the rest of the ladder till my feet hit the ground. As fast as I could I lashed out to touch a metal wall and blindly searched it. I stopped once my hand hit a light switch and I quickly flicked it up. Once the light was on I let out a quick breath and looked around. I was standing in a small room with metal walls. Along the far back wall was a long silvery metal desk top with a sleek black computer and screen sitting there.
This room used to part of the old mining tunnel before it was blocked off and turned into a small break room for the miners. Soon after the mining in the tunnels had stopped the room was blocked off. Years ago, before the island was taken over by Venom, a small group of no-name heroes had lived here island before they were killed by their enemies. While they had lived here they had set up this room with electricity and a computer, which connected to cameras all around the island.
I pulled off my red clock and black mask, setting them on the table, before I turned on the computer. Once the screen flickered to life a small map of the island was brought up, with a small cluster of red dots in one single area. I clicked on the screen and pulled up a video feed from the nearest camera. On the video were members of both The Cult of Kobra and Bane's group, including Bane, tied to a tree. Standing in front of them was Robin, Kid Flash, Aqualad and a girl that looked like a Martian and a boy wearing Superman's symbol. My eyebrows scrunched up as I looked at the two non-familiar superheroes. Batman had told me next to nothing about the team, only that Aqualad, Robin, and Kid Flash had joined. He had told me nothing about the rest of the team and they knew nothing about me, except for Speedy. I was the Justice Leagues secret; no one knew about my existence, not even the sidekicks. I've only ever done covert missions, like I was taught to by my mentor. With a small sigh I forgot about my mentor and focused back on the screen.
"I recognize those uniforms, they belong to The Cult of the Kobra." Robin said, as I smiled, glad that I had volume on this thing.
"I am certain Batman would have mentioned it, if he knew a dangerous extremist was running Santa Prisca's Venom operation." Aqualad replied, while I squeezed my fist in slight anger. Batman hadn't told them information that could have been important for this mission, and that filled me with annoyance.
"Agreed" Robin said which made me roll my eyes. He was Batman's apprentice; he should know that Batman keeps information to himself sometimes. "And since there's clearly no love lost between the cultist and those goons. I'm betting Kobra came and tossed them out, that's why normal supply lines have been cut off."
"We get it, Kobra wanted super cultist. Mystery solved." Kid Flash said, stepping forward. "Let's radio Bat's and we'll be home in time…"
"The cultists aren't on Venom, their hording the stuff. We don't leave… not until I know why." Robin cut in.
"Until you know why?"
"This team needs a leader." Robin demanded.
"And it's you? Dude you're a thirteen year old kid." Kid Flash said getting in Robin's face. "Who ducked out on us without a word."
"And you're a mature fifteen." Robin laughed. At this I scrunched my eyes closed and grabbed onto the bridge of my nose.
"Are they really fighting in the middle of a forest in front of the bad guys? Where they have a chance of being caught and captured." I groaned as I face palmed. "Why did Bat's send them? Do they have no idea what the word, covert means?" I said this with my fists clenched in anger. Unfortunately my annoyance set off my powers and my hands glowed pink, just before the screen in front of me cracked and the computer shut off.
"Opps." I mumbled when I looked at the computer and cringed. "… Good thing I don't need to use it again." I said with a sigh, before putting my cloak and mask back on and heading up the ladder.
(**-**)
Minutes later, after returning the rock to its place, I stepped back inside the building, only to be stopped by someone.
"Hey you!" a voice yelled out from behind me, causing me to turn my head to look at them, in my peripheral vision. Standing behind me was the girl who had injected Mammoth earlier, Shimmer. "Come with me. Lord Kobra wants some men around when they meet the buyer." She said before walking away, without waiting for my answer. I glared at her from behind, before sluggishly following her.
"I have to get out of here. Bat's told me I had to leave once the Team got here." I thought to myself as I continued to follow Shimmer.
(**-**)
I watched as a dark helicopter landed in the middle of the field I was standing in with Lord Kobra, Mammoth, Shimmer and several other members of the cult. My eyes widened when the assassin Sportsmaster exited the helicopter, and walked over to Lord Kobra. The two greeted each other before Kobra spoke.
"The shipment is ready." Kobra said as Shimmer stepped up and opened a small case full of blue vials.
Sportsmaster picked up one of the vials before saying, "The new Kobra venom."
"A complete success." Lord Kobra said, gesturing towards Mammoth. "Our friends will not be disappointed.
"Friends?" I thought, as I narrowed my eyes.
"This is a game changer. Finally we can go mano a mano with the Justice League." Sportsmaster said, tossing the vial up in the air. My eyes widened as I clenched my fists, ready to destroy the vial, when I sensed something. Quickly my eyes snapped up and I looked closely at the sky, only to see part of the sky shimmer slightly. My eyes widened as I remembered that the Team was on the island and that the Martian must be listening in, using her camouflage to hide. I shifted my eyes back to the exchange in front of me, and unclenched my fists, relaxing.
"I hope they can handle this."
My head snapped towards the building when gun shots when off. "I guess they can't." I thought with a start. I jumped when Mammoth dashed towards the building and jumped through the large window. Everyone else in the field ran for the factory to see what was happening. I was about to follow when I remember what Batman had said in his message. He told me to get out once the team was here, and to not let them know I was here. I looked towards the forest and made my decision. Quickly I ran towards the helicopter and climbed in, before headed for one of the many boxes scattered around. Squatting in front of one of the boxes, I reached into the inside of my boot again and pulled out the compact. I turned the mirror over and slide open the bottom, showing a tiny black object. The black object was a small tracking device that flashed red when I tapped it. Once it was red I placed it on the box and stood up, before exiting the helicopter.
"What do you doing?" a voice yelled from behind me, making me turn quickly to see Shimmer behind me once again. "Get away from there!" she growled.
"I don't take orders from you." I hissed.
"Who do you think you are?" Shimmer said. "Are you disobeying?"
"Yeah I am. Just because you tick me off and I won't be staying much longer."
"What do you mean leave? Once you're in The Cult of the Kobra you don't leave."
"I don't have time for this." I said placing my hand over mouth, before I shifted my one foot backwards slightly and the other forward. As I raised my right hand, a pink energy shot out and headed straight for Shimmer. Shimmer's eyes widened for a split second before she jumped to the side, dodging my blow.
She then stood up and dashed forward at me, throwing a punch. I grabbed her wrist and jerked it to the side, before lifting my foot up and kicking her in the stomach. Once I had the leverage I pushed off of her stomach and flipped backward. I then lunged forward and rammed Shimmer in the stomach, making her fall over. Quickly with a glowing pink fist I punched her in the face, making her loss consciousness. Once I stood up to my full height I looked around, making sure I wasn't noticed, before running towards the forest.
(**-**)
For the next while I stumbled through the forest trying to find a way out, before stopping. I looked around trying to find some kind of exit before sighing.
"I'm surrounded by trees." I mumbled to myself. "Maybe I should call Watchtower. I didn't really have a way off this island in the beginning." I said before reaching up and tearing off my cloak and mask. Collapsing against a tree I pulled my pink hair up into a pony tail, before reached into my pocket and pulled out my mirror. Just as I was about to turn it on, the sound of an explosion made me stop. I snapped my head up towards the sky and saw Sportsmaster's helicopter falling from the sky, on fire.
"No, now I have no way of finding out who Sportsmaster is working for. That tracker was the only way to know where he was going. Damn it." I grumbled before noticing something. The helicopter was coming straight at me. My eyes widened as I scrambled up and ran through the trees try to get away as far as I could. As the large aircraft came closer, I ran faster. I looked backward to see that the helicopter was going to land near me and get me killed, no matter how fast I ran. Skidding to a stop, I turned around and released a powerful wave of pink energy at the falling aircraft. My tidal wave of pink energy hit the helicopter, making it fall in a different direction. I jumped to the ground and covered my body, just in case, as the helicopter hit the ground and explode.
Letting out a shaky breath I tried to climb to my feet, only to collapse to the ground. With a groan I grabbed my head, as my vision shook. I quickly reached for my compact and turned it on, while leaning against a nearby tree.
"Jinx. Jinx!" A voice yelled through my mirror after several seconds. I turned my head down and looked at the screen, only to see Flash's face.
"Hey, I need to be picked up." I slurred slightly.
"Jinx are you okay. What happened?"
"I'll explain later. I haven't used my… magic in weeks and I just… just used… a huge amount of it. M'tired now." I said before falling to the side and passing out.

I also wanted to say that Jinx has the same powers as she does in Teen Titans.
In this Jinx is Indian like she is in the comics, but her hair and eyes are the same as in the Teen Titans cartoon. Also she has pink eyebrows.
