Chapter Twenty-Five:
-Outfiltrated infiltrators-
It didn't take them long to make it to the WayneTech facility. And Jayde was jumping with anticipation. She knew how important it was that they stopped the Fog before it acquire the WayneTech data.
"It's downloading!" Robin informed them as the bioship approached the building
"Don't need it!" Superboy called out before he jumped through the bioships open hatch.
"Superboy!" Robin and Jayde shouted as they watched their partner jump to the ground with ease. However,before he could reach the cement below, a red beam of light came at him from one of the cars parked below.
"This team's gunna give me grey's before I'm twenty" Jayde groaned to herself as she watched the clone hit the ground. Just as she spoke, she saw a puff of what looked like smoke billow out of the van's door.
"No!" Robin exclaimed. It didn't take a genius to figure out that the smoke was the weapon. Instantly Robin grappled out of the bio-ship and tailed the Fog with Jayde following closely behind him.
The duo didn't speak as they crashed through the doors of the WayneTech facility, disregarding the guard who tried to stop them as they chased after the Fog.
"Robin, do something!" Jayde called out as she saw the doors closing in front of them.
"WayneTech override: RG 4!" he yelled, effectively stopping the doors. Without missing a beat, the two heroes rolled under the grate and continued running.
The Fog was doing a sufficient amount of damage as Robin and Jayde scaled the stairs, maneuvering around the screaming civilians.
"What's going on?" asked a girl from behind a counter as Robin hooked his mini-computer up to the one she was standing in front of. "What are you doing?"
"Our jobs" Jayde answered as she kept her eyes peeled for the Fog.
"Please be linked to the mainframe. Please be linked to the mainframe" Robin chanted as he pulled up the holo-screen. Jayde knew that she was essentially useless on this particular mission, whereas Robin was the key.
Jayde watched silently as Robin tapped away at his keyboard and uploaded the virus. In an instant the grey fog that surrounded them turned to red and the soft 'plink' of metal hitting the floor could be heard.
"Yes!" Robin cheered. "The infiltrators have been outfiltrated" he smiled.
"Good thing we got here in time" Jayde nodded. "How do you think Superboy's doing?" she asked as they turned to leave.
"He'll be fine" Robin smiled. "So what are you gunna say to Roy when you see him?" Robin asked a minute later once they hit the ground floor.
"I don't know" Jayde sighed. "I kind of in between killing him and screwing him senseless" she said, letting a satisfied smirk grace her lips when she saw the younger teen blush. Suddenly a small beeping sound interrupted their silence, and Jade looked down at her wrist, a message showing up on her watch. From Roy. "Looks like he's gunna meet me nearby. You good by yourself?" she asked. Robin just nodded and waved her away.
Silently, Jayde grappled up to the nearest rooftop and ran across the buildings towards the spot Roy told her to meet him at. Once she arrived, she saw an old telephone booth light up as someone zeta-beamed to the location. Jayde watched as a figure stepped out and looked around. Squinting, Jayde could just barely make out the figure. It was Artemis.
Moments later, Jayde watched as Artemis dropped to the ground and nocked an arrow, pointing it to the shadows.
"Step into the light. Now" the blonde ordered. And the new comer obliged. Jayde nearly fell from her perch when she saw her boyfriend step out from the shadows.
"Nice move" Roy commented as he walked closer. "Almost made me believe you are Green Arrow's niece, but we both know you're not" he said. "Still, I'm sure G.A and Bats have a reason for lying. So your covers safe." Then Roy's demeanor changed. "But i warn you. Do not hurt my friends or my girlfriend" he threatened before walking calmly away.
His words caused Jayde to smack her forehead lightly. He just about outed their relationship to a complete stranger. An untrustworthy one at that.
"So you don't trust her either" Jayde spoke out loud once she saw that Artemis was no longer in the alley below. Letting out a breath, Jayde turned and faced her boyfriend.
"Not with team and especially not with you" he told her.
"I'm a big girl, Roy" Jayde scoffed, crossing her arms over her chest "I can take care of myself."
"Aren't you going to ask me where I've been for the past few weeks?" Roy asked in an attempt to change the subject.
"Figured you were off fuc... Finding Roquette" she corrected herself, trying to push down the jealousy that started to bubble in her stomach.
"Not just save Roquette" Roy told her. For some reason, Jayde was expecting the worst out of the next words that came out of his mouth. "The team has a mole" he told her.
"What?" Jayde asked, her initial fear subsiding. Sure the news was bad, but not something that would break her heart.
"When I infiltrated the Shadows fortress to get Roquette I heard some of the big-wig's talking. Saying that their mole should be able to get them the information on the League that they need."
"And you think it's Artemis?" Jayde asked, Roy just nodded. "I guess it makes sense" she sighed. "Like you said, G.A doesn't have a neice."
As Jayde digested the new bit of information, the couple silently scaled the building and went to the disguised zeta-tube.
"Long day?" Roy asked as Jayde suppressed a yawn.
"Your fault" she shrugged. "Plus I haven't been sleeping all that much lately" she added.
"Come on, let's get you to bed" Roy said as he punched in the coordinates for their garage.
"No funny business mister" Jayde smiled as she leaned into his chest. Roy just smiled back and wrapped his arms around he small frame as the tube lit up and took them home.
AN: Okay first of all I want to apologize for not updating in a very very very long time. I honestly keep on forgetting that I have this story. Second I have good lots of good news.
First bit of good news is a bit personal, two months ago my daughter was born. Which leads to another it of good news, during the time when she's sleeping, I've been writing as much as I could for this and other stories. The only reason why I haven't updated is because the wifi card in my laptop is probably the stupidest thing in existence. But it's working today so yay!
Second bit of good news, I'm going to just post like crazy today for a majority of my current stories, so be prepared to be bombarded with lots and lots of awesomeness, lol.

PS: Also, to Vanafindiel yes Jayde name is pronounced as 'Jade'. When I first created Jay 13 years ago, it was when I was just started to get heavily into the comic fandom, and I didn't know that Cheshire's real name was Jade. I've thought of changing it, but after spending all this years developing her character, no other name fit lol.
