Chapter Four: A First Mission

"Team, report to mission room," I hear Batman's voice say over the intercom.

"Hope its not another villain teammate," Robin snipes as we walk to the mission room. We enter the mission room to find Batman standing beside a holo screen.

"Team, you will be doing a recon mission, recon only on the island of Santa Prisca, the league has come to suspect that the factory there is producing more cobra venom, your new teammate Misty will be coming along and you will treat her as an equal part of the team," Batman says staring down Robin when saying the last part.

"Okay okay, fine," Robin replies.

"Team, go suit up and meet in the hanger in ten minutes, Misty, your suit is in this bag," Batman finishes gesturing to a bag at his feet. Batman then leaves though the Zeta tubes.

A little while later, on Santa Prisca

I drop down onto the island with Superboy, someone who wasn't there before, Kid Flash, Artemis and Robin.

"Dark and Kid Flash circle left and approach the factory from the left, Artemis, Superboy and I will approach from the right," Robin orders and we obey. Kid Flash walks annoyed beside me.

"Okay, so I get that you're hated by Robin, Artemis, and Zatanna but what did you do?" Kid Flash asks confused.

"Well I uh, you see, I was with my brother on one of his raids, and he was after some stuff but I wondered off because there were extra minds in the building and I found Robin knocked out and Zatanna barely awake and panicking, she attacked me and discovered that I'm part demon, she was threatening me when my brother came in and beat up Zatanna bad, right before we left Robin would have woken up and saw us leaving. Me and Artemis fought when you guys attacked me and my brother, besides, I kinda am a villain, I don't deserve to be liked," I say truthfully.

"Don't say you don't deserve to be liked you seem fine, wh-" Kid Flash says but I cut him off.

"Shh, there's six guards coming, there to energetic for me to put to sleep, we should dissapear into the forest," I advise then run into the tree line and soundlessly climb up a tree. I watch as Kid Flash scrambles to follow and runs into the tree line.

"Misty?" He hisses concerned.

"Up here," I call down and turn back to the path as the guards pass. We wait a minute and continue onward and reach the factory without incident. We enter the factory and hide behind some boxes.

"I'll go look around, you wait here, if something goes wrong cover me," Kid Flash says and runs off before I can reply. I climb up a large pile of boxes trying not to be obvious and lay on top of them. And pull out my dart gun to cover Kid Flash. Suddenly a weight falls on top of me and I feel myself get stabbed in the leg. I turn over and attempt to turn so I'm on top but I fail. Desperately I reach for my dart gun and feel my fingers close weakly around it. I aim the gun and shoot them at point blank range. Panting I pull the Knife out of my leg and bind it.

'Ouch, that's not good' I think and inadvertently transfer it over the mind link.

'What?' Miss M. asks.

'Nothing' I reply, no reason to worry people about my problems. I quickly bind my leg tight.

'I think they know we're here, a bit, I was attacked' I inform them.

'In other words you blew it!' Robin replies.

'It is merely her first mission, everyone does badly on their first' Aqualad replies.

'No he's right I blew it, the thing is, I don't even know where the person came from, I climbed some boxes to cover Kid Flash and one second I was alone and the next there was someone on top of me' I explain. The link is silent for a minute as everyone absorbs the information.

'HELP! BY THE BAY DOORS' Robin shouts through the mind link and I vault over the boxes and shoot down the guards with me dart gun clearing a path to the vault doors.

'Coming' I reply and attempt to use my power. 'Hopeless, doomed, a protegee of the Batman,' I shiver channeling emotions like that, but it seems to do its job, a few of the guards around Robin and I start shooting them. I take down half before KF comes and knocks out the rest.

"You go tell the others and get them going, did you get the info?" I ask KF.

"Yeah, I finished downloading the info before I came, will you be taking Robin to the bio ship?" KF asks.

"Yeah," I reply and KF runs off. I pick up Robin and begin carrying him towards the Bioship.

"Put me down villain," Robin says weakly and I try soothing away his anger but it's too strong.

"Okay whatever, I'll put you down once you're at the Bioship," I say as I look down at his injuries. There were a lot, but I suspect that the brute I saw unconscious by his feet.

"You're losing blood, you need to calm down," I order.

"Not taking orders from a Villain," Robin grumbles and passes out. I arrive a moment later at the Bioship and see KF run in just ahead and he starts setting up the medical table. I quickly begin blooming a splint around one of Robins arms and KF starts putting salve on a gash on his leg and binding it. Then I look at my wound on my leg and see it's soaked through the bandages. I wince and turn back to Robin and begin stitches on his cheek. My stitches begin to get a little sloppy as I get dizzy from blood loss and I hand over stitches to Artemis and go sit down. I bandage my leg and clean the wound before bandaging it

"I didn't realize you were injured," Kid Flash says.

"I'm fine, lived through worse," I say flatly, Kid Flash wisely drops the topic.

"I thought you hate violence but on the battlefield you were almost at home," Kid Flash comments.

"I know, it kind of sickens me to realise how at home I was once I stopped thinking and let my instincts take over, I shouldn't have instincts like that," I say sourly.

"Don't worry, you're using your skills and instincts for good, and no matter what Arty thinks that makes you a good person in my books," Kid Flash says and I smile at him before sitting back in my chair exhausted.

Thank you so much for the reviews, its really deep and something I'll really have to think about, it means so much and its changed my thoughts on a lot of stuff thank you.
