In The Batman series episode 'A Mirror Darkly" Mirror Master has a sidekick named Smoke. She's a girl, but I liked the name.
Also, in the comics, Amunet Black aka Blacksmith is the girlfriend of Goldface and the short time leader of The Rogues. Here, shes fresh of the Goldface breakup and looking to finish high school at 19.

"You are a damned idiot, you know that?" Amunet Black spat hatefully at her boyfriend Keith Kenyon.
"No offense sweetheart, but I think I got a little more experience than you do. Why don't you sit down, shut your trap, and let me make decisions for myself!" Keith growled back.
"This damn plan of yours to topple all other criminal organizations is delirious. Don't you think that I'm going to sit around here and wait get hauled of to jail Mr. High and Mighty! If you agree to go through with this thing with Brick I'm leaving. And I ain't coming back," She snarled.
"Yeah? Then where you going to go princess?" Goldface sneered.
"You honestly think you're my only option? You best be thinking again sweetheart cuz I'm out," Amy scoffed, turning on her heel and marching angrily through the door from which she came. The second Goldface was out of her sight she pulled out her cell phone and scrolled through her contacts before hitting 'call'.
"Hello?" An exasperated voice answered.
"Lees? its a me, Amy. I was actually wondering if you'd be willing to help me out," Lisa Snart was one of about three friends that Amy had in the world. She had met her five years ago, before they were Glider and Blacksmith. Back in those days they were just ispiring figure skater Lisa Star and a homeless kid from the bad side of Keystone.
"With what exactly, Kid?"
(..)(..)
"This is my home kid. I know that you're here, so what do you want?" Mirror Master said, crossing his arms over his chest.
Evan felt his heart rate increase. He had been hoping to avoid the older man and a possible altercation.
"Why are you here?" The Rogue tried again.
"Ain't got a lot of places to go," Evan replied evenly.
"So you picked here? How'd you get in?"
Evan peered around the illusion of a column he was hiding behind and held out the gun.
"Damned kids. Alright, you got my tech. What do you say we get on a little more even ground, eh? I'm Sam."
"Evan."
"Nice to meet you, Evan."

Wally didn't see Hartley and James the next day, or the day after that, or the day after that. In fact, he didn't see any of the Rogue children until they all showed up at school almost two weeks later.
"Guys? Where the Hell have you been?" Wally exclaimed, running to James and Hartley as they ambled across the schools parking lot.
"Not sleeping," James snapped irritably.
"You guys have been pretty dormant for the last few weeks. I don't know how you could possibly be tired," Wally said.
"HIS room is under construction so HE has been staying in mine. I hate him with all of my being," James seethed.
"Who?" Wally laughed.
"Axel," James shouted angrily.
"We have acquired a few new additions as of late," Hartley sighed.
"What?"
"Evan moved in. Not that I particularly mind him. It's everybody that he's brought with him!" James snarled, pacing in an angry circle around Wally and Hartley.
"You do realize one of the two people he brought with him is my sister, and he did not actually invite Amy, Lisa did," Hartley sighed.
"What is going on?" Wally demanded.
"Mirror Master has a new partner," James snapped.
"Who happens to be one of my parents foster children. He had some stipulations upon moving in with us, which included my sister Jerrie and another foster child named Axel accompanying him," Hartley said almost fondly.
"Glider's got a...friend she met while working in Star City that happens to be short on places to stay since her recent separation from her boyfriend."
"Wow, I didn't even know you had a sister," Wally nodded.
"My little sister has some handicaps. Needless to say, my parents were more than a little bit disappointed after the failure I turned out to be. What with the supervillaning, the being deaf, and the homosexuality," Hartley sighed bitterly.
"Forget them. You're with us for a reason, right?" James said sternly, pausing in his pacing.
"That's right. And now Jerrie is too," Hartley nodded.
"We came to scope the place out today to make sure that Hartley's parents haven't reported the others missing. The answer to that question appears to be no," James said.
Hartley pulled out his cell phone and typed a quick message.
"Ev says back alley," Hartley relayed after his phone rang with a response.
Wally fallowed Hartley and James around to the desolate wasteland between the middle and high schools. Just as they were coming around the corner five children tumbled violently out of the reflection of a trash can.
"Yes! Hell freaking yes! Did'ja see that!?" A redheaded boy shouted excitedly.
"Actually ended up at the school. Impressive, McCulloch," A girl with long black hair smirked.
"I thought this day would never come," James chuckled.
"Laugh it up now pissheads. Soon, I'll be just as good as Sam. Then you bastards will have to come to me to play taxi," The redhead, whom Wally assumed was Evan, snarked hatefully.
"Harty! Harty! Harty! Look! I get to go to school too! Like Lenny said I could," A girl with auburn hair and a pink dress exclaimed happily, wrapping her arms around Hartley's waist.
"Yes, Jerrie, he said you could the first time you asked him," Hartley sighed.
"Daddy said that too but he didn't mean it. Lenny meant it! Auntie Lisa did my hair!" Jerrie smiled brightly.
"Hip hip hooray," A blonde child about six deadpanned.
"Be nice," Owen chastised.
"Yeah, Axel, or else," Evan snapped irritably.
"Your such a bratty little punk," James snarled.
"Are we done arguing?" The black haired girl sighed.
"You complain a lot for a new kid, Amunet," Owen sighed.
"I feel like maybe more people should be concerned about the fact that the criminal organization The Rogues have seemingly adopted eight children," Wally sighed.
"No one is legally adopted," Hartley shrugged.
"Still," Wally said.

Len sat in a chair in the living room on the clock on the wall with a deep contempt.
2:55 pm.
In exactly 13 minutes seven children would emerge from the large mirror in the living room.
Well, that is, Len hoped they would emerge from the large mirror in the living room. Evan was getting better everyday but that didn't mean he wasn't going to accidentally pop himself and the others through the reflective surface of a shop window in China like he had done last week.
He kind of loathed all of the children's parents for leaving them at his house. He blamed a large portion of this on the Rathaway family considering the fact that he had four of their children living with him. It was The Rogues fault in the first place that James had to live with them, so they were just going to have to suck it up and deal with that. It was purely Lisa's fault that Amunet moved in, though the girl did carry her own weight better than all three of the teenage boys combined. Josh and Owen who had actual parents on the team.
Speaking of which...
"Jus?" Josh demanded, waving his sippy cup at Len angrily.
"We ain't got no juice. Owen and Axel drank the last of it last night. Sorry, Kid," Len sighed.
Josh stared up at him with curiosity dancing behind his little eyes.
"If you give him tap water and beer it'll look like juice and he won't know no difference," Digger said from the couch he was sprawled out on.
"Thank you Jesus for not letting Boomer be the one to raise Owen until this point," Lisa sighed.
"You can't give Josh beer, he's 11 months old," Mark snapped.
"There's never any food anymore! Having four teenagers and three small children has completely wipe us out. We're going to have to start robbing Sam's Club," Mick grouned exasperatedly.
"And Len's trying to snag another one!" Digger scoffed.
"Do you think I should go look for the kids yet?" Sam called from the desolate area that was the kitchen.
"Not yet, Sammy. S'only 3:06," Lisa responded.
"I just know that he's going to accidentally pop them through the bars of a tiger cage or something," Sam sighed.
"Don't be such a mother hen," Mark laughed.
"We need the speedster kid. Not only does he have the same powers as Flasher, he has a connection to him to boot. I'm telling you he's needed here, and I got a plan on how to get him," Len drawled.

Roy Harper sat on his roof staring up at the sky. After all, how many more beautiful nights was he going to get to gaze up at the moon before he was up there with all those stars after his dad fucking kills him because Jade just made everything so much worse.
She had somehow managed to convince several Gotham City villains, the Cult of the Cobra, Vandal Savage, and half of Ra's al Ghul assassins that they all needed to team up with Brick to take down Roy's father.
But Roy shouldn't worry, said Jade, because she was going to talk to her dad and he was probably going to solve the problem for her. But no promises.
Two weeks earlier:
The room was a dimly lit.
All around us were foes.
We could tell by our harsh years of training and by the looks on their face that their intent was poor
"I hear your muscle in it on Harper's territory," I said valiantly.
"And what what of it, Child?" Brick sneered.
"You better knock it off or you'll have me to deal with!" I snarled back at him.
"The evil villainis Cheshire is not one we wish to have as an enemy!" everyone in the room exclaimed in absolute terror.
Then, he swung at me. I dodged left , but Artemis didn't make it! He ran right into her to the side where she fell unconscious like a rag doll. Then, I valiantly charged Brick! uppercut uppercut uppercut uppercut! Knee to the face! Flip kick kick kick!
"There can only be one!" I declare in victory
"Okay, hold on, back it up, stop the crazy train, what are you even talking about Jade!? None of that happened!" Artemis exclaimed angrily.
"Obviously you were unconscious for a large part of it," Jade laughed, rolling her eyes.
"This is what really happened... Artemis sighed, Brick had gathered a lot of supervillains in his warehouse to talk about boundaries, cartels, and alliances. According to him Roy, your father had been stirring up trouble with his men all over town. Jade and I hid in the shadows and did absolutely nothing as they talked about how they were going to do with your father. That is until Jade said that the only way that they were going to be able to take out Will, who Jade said was under Green Arrows protection, was to take out Green Arrow first. She meant it sarcastically, but that's not how they took it."
"See? No they're trying to take out Green Arrow. That gives you a good month before you have to worry again!" Cameron shrugged.
"Right..." Roy muttered.
(..)(..)
"This can't be happening to me," Jade Crock murmured into her hands.
"Jade! Hurry up, you've been in the bathroom for like 30 minutes now!" Artemis growled, angrily banging on the door.
"Just a second!" Jade snaped back, hiding the stick in her waistband.
What was she going to do?

Meanwhile, deep in the middle school boys locker room, Bart Allen hid behind a basketball rack and watched his sworn rival Thad Thawne pull a needle out of his backpack.
"Velocity 9!" The blond boy snickered, " just what I need!"
Velocity 9? What was Velocity 9?
Bart watched as Thad stuck the needle in his arm. As soon as he had injected the drug Bart could see what almost looked like... Lightning coursing through his veins. Thad stood, eyes glowing yellow, and smiled.
Not much Wally in this chapter, but I had to let his friends stir up some trouble for him to find his way in to
