OMG….I want to kill Cartoon Network! WHY WALLY? It's like they killed him JUST to kill someone. And they're cancelling it too! It's just-ARRRRRRGGG!

Anyway, sorry about not updating in a while. I'm updating two stories every week, so I'll try and be on time. Without further ado, here is chapter eight.

Disclaimer: I only own my OC's. The rest is (unfortunately) Cartoon Network's.

The interrogation with Kitten lasted for hours. She had been trained well, and it was very hard to detect if she was lying or not. Every now and then Apollo would interrupt Nightwing and ask about Jill. Nightwing would wave him off and say he'd ask later. But it never happened. Finally, when Nightwing had exhausted himself, he locked Kitten in a room and sent the team home. They had been at it for 5 hours, and Apollo had almost exploded from his nervousness. He hadn't heard from Jill all day. And with the attacks on the team, he was worried that she had been kidnapped. He was half right.

"In here." Jinx said. Jill was on board the helicopter with Jinx, ready to confront Jinx's boss. Jill followed Jinx into a small room, where a woman with black hair sat at a table. The woman smiled when she saw Jill.

"Jillian my dear, it has been a while." The woman said. She got up and hugged Jill. Jill hesitated, but then hugged her back.

"It has. I wish I wasn't meeting you this way, Ms. Talia." Jill said. She and Talia sat down at the table, and Jinx stood by the door.

"On opposing sides?" Talia asked.

"No, with me missing school." Jill cracked a smile. Talia laughed.

"It's good to see that you still have your sense of humor." Talia said.

"Thank you. But it does seem like we are on opposing sides." Jill frowned.

"Very true. That is why I'm offering you a proposition. You can become my apprentice. Jinx has already told me of your advanced fighting skills." Jill nervously looked down.

"But…I already have a team." She said quietly. Talia put her hand on Jill's.

"I understand that it would be hard to work on both sides. But you've done it once, so I'm sure you can do it again." She said, her voice filled with compassion.

"Plus, you'd get to boss people around!" Jinx threw in. "And you'd have access to all of the nicest hotels and restaurants and-" A door slammed open from one side of the helicopter.

"For the love of all things Jinx, can you be quiet?" Poison Oak groaned. He stopped short at the sight of Jill. "Jill? Is that you?"

"Rowan!" She rushed up to him and tackled him in a hug. Jinx stared in confusion.

"Wait-you two know each other?" She asked.

"Yes." Talia answered for them. "They were my apprentices a few years ago. Jill quit due to family troubles and…disconnections." She said the last part in a hushed tone. "When I heard that Jill was back in the vigilante business, I had to know if she would rejoin us."

"You're going to come back?" Poison Oak asked.

"I might." She said. "I'm still committed to my friends."

"Oh." He said. "You mean Flash Boy and those guys?" He said with distaste.

"Yes. I mean Apollo and those guys." Jill corrected him. She looked at her watch. Turning to Talia, she spoke again. "I need to get home. I will consider your offer." Talia nodded.

"Alright. It would be wonderful to have you back Jill." Talia said. "I believe that we're over the local park, if you would like to leave."

"Thanks." Jill went to the door. Opening it, she pulled out her pocket staff and tapped it on the ground. It turned into a glider. Then, Jillian Hughes lived up to the name of Bluebird. She flew.

-Break is flying-

During the whole interrogation, Max was sitting by Nina's side in the medical ward. She was awake, but very distraught. Her arm was covered in a burn.

"I got so worked up and then I just went out! I can't believe I let myself go like that." She complained.

"It's okay. You're still alive, right?" Max said.

"I know. It's just…I can't let myself do that again. If Freeze hadn't covered me in water, I might of…I don't know what I might of done." She looked down. "I'm so scared that I'm going to hurt someone."

"If you need help on controlling your fire, I'm sure my mom could help! She knows a lot about mediation and self-control and that stuff." Max said. "You could come over this weekend and meditate!"

"Thanks. That sounds fun!" Nina smiled. "But how do I explain this burn to my parents?"

"Umm….You could say that a homeless guy tipped over a burning trash can and that burned you?"

"I'm going to have to trust you on this." Nina muttered.

Harley Quinn walked into the base, not feeling like herself. After the fight with Calla, she had been feeling odd. It was like someone had taken over her mind and made themself at home. She walked into the room where Freeze and Blizzard were arguing.

See what they're arguing about. A voice rang out in Harley's head. She couldn't help but obey.

"What's going on?" The perky blonde asked. Freeze growled.

"This idiot thinks that he's stronger than I am!" She snapped.

"Well it is true." Blizzard said. "I am way stronger than her."

"Oh, okay." Harley walked away. She passed Klarion, who was holding a precious relic.

Ask him what that is for. The voice commanded.

"Hey Klarion, what's that for?" She asked.

"It's the relic I stole from the museum. It will give me good luck. Not that I need it." He added.

Hmm…When did he steal this? The voice asked. Harley relayed the question to Klarion.

"Earlier, when you were distracting the brats. Weren't you paying attention during the mission briefing?" He said with displeasure. Harley muttered 'yes' and walked away. She went to her room to pout.

What's wrong Harley? The voice asked.

"Klarion's mad at me." She muttered.

I'm sure he'll be over it soon. Now why don't you get some sleep? We have a big day ahead of us.

"Good idea." She yawned, and then slowly fell asleep.
