Infiltrator
I don't own Naruto, The Flash, Young Justice, or any other properties.
Naruto walked with M'gann, who was in a human disguise, through Happy Harbor after having a shopping spree and they stopped at a little café.
"So, we've got new sheets, several blankets, a small rug, and…" said M'gann as she listed off what she bought.
"Several boxes of items I had hoped never to buy for myself," said Naruto as she buried her red face into her hands.
"It's not really that bad," assured M'gann.
Naruto glared at M'gann through her fingers then lowered her hands to scowl.
"I'm always in pain and those morons in my head won't shut up," said Naruto, "Not to mention it's really uncomfortable when it drops."
"You'll get used to it," said M'gann as she took a bite of her sandwich.
"I need to go for a walk," said Naruto as she stood up, "I'll be right back."
She walked around the corner of the café as M'gann took a sip of tea. A moment later, there was a loud crash and M'gann looked toward the source of the sound. She quickly got up and rushed around the corner after turning into her martian form and flew over everybody. Apparently, there was an accident with a waste disposal truck and it had tipped over. But the thing that caused her to gasp was a familiar face on the ground.
"Naruto!" she exclaimed as she landed next to her friend.
"M'gann, we have a problem," said Naruto in a pained voice, "I can't exactly see anything."
M'gann's eyes grew big as she looked toward the spilling chemicals then watched several people help an old man up.
"She saved my life," said the old man, "She's a good kid."
M'gann held her hand up to her head and closed her eyes.
"Superboy, Kaldur, a waste disposal truck tipped over in town and Naruto's one of the casualties," she thought through a telepathic link, "I need help on clean up."
"On the way," said Kaldur over the link.
Naruto grunted loudly in pain as she reached for her eyes and M'gann began getting to work.
(Half an Hour Later)
Naruto sat in Mount Justice with bandages around her eyes and read a brail book.
"How's she doing?" asked Kaldur of Black Canary while they watched from behind a one-way mirror.
"The optic nerves in her eyes were completely burned out," said Black Canary, "She's completely blind."
"Can she still do missions?" questioned M'gann
"It's going to be tough," said Black Canary, "She's going to need some time to learn how to fight like that. But's it's good that she already knows brail."
"I may be blind but I can hear you," said Naruto calmly as she shut the book then grabbed the cane next to her.
"Batman said Naruto can use Ace until she's able to fight again," said Robin as he approached with a robotic dog.
Naruto exited the room and looked in Robin's direction.
"At least Ace can help me find an apartment in Jump City," said Naruto calmly.
"Jump City?" asked Kaldur, "Aren't you living here?"
"This place is a little cramped for me," said Naruto as Superboy and M'gann, "Besides, the place I've been looking at is right next to a Zeta Beam platform so I can get here quickly. And it's well within my price range since I sold that patent to LexCorp. I know how to counter it so if Luthor ever uses it, it'll be easy to take care of."
Naruto pulled out her cell phone and went over to Ace, who ate the phone as a projected hologram came up on it.
"That's how much I sold it for," said Naruto.
"Doesn't seem that impressive," said Superboy.
"All the zeroes don't fit on one screen," said Naruto, "Ace, scroll the screen over."
The screen moved and everyone's mouth's fell open a little. He scrolled over again and their eyes grew wide.
"Whoa," said Black Canary in awe as Ace scrolled over again.
"Come on, Ace," said Naruto as she walked down the hall, Ace right behind her.
(An Hour Later)
Naruto walked up to the apartment door with Ace and Naruto raised her hand. It suddenly started to fade away and Naruto quickly shook her hand, making it become solid again, then knocked. The door opened and an Asian girl a little old than Naruto opened the door.
"What happened to your eyes?" asked the woman before she looked down at Ace then pet him, "And who's big guy?"
"I was in an accident and lost my sight and the dog is Ace," said Naruto, "We don't have to worry about feeding him since he's a robot and I've got enough money to pay for the next several months on me."
"I knew you'd be a good roommate," said the woman with a coy smile as she let Naruto and Ace in.
The woman closed the door behind them then spun Naruto around. With one hand on Naruto's hip, the woman kissed her on the lips and Naruto let it sink in.
"Welcome home… Rio," said the woman.
"It's good to be home, Jade," said Naruto slyly as she kissed her roommate back.
(A Week Later)
Recognized: Moon Knight B 9-9.
Naruto walked into the main room with Ace at her side and stopped when she heard several heartbeats.
"Naruto!" exclaimed M'gann as Naruto walked over to her and the group, "Why haven't you checked in? It's been a week."
"Sorry," apologized Naruto sheepishly, "I've been working with a friend on how to fight when you can't see."
"Really?" questioned Robin.
Naruto smiled and placed her hand on M'gann's cheek.
"I'm sure," said Naruto as she slowly moved her hand down to M'gann's arm, "So, what was everybody going to do today?"
"Well, we were going to the beach," said Kaldur.
"Good," said Naruto, "I'll just go get changed."
Naruto went down the hall with Ace and came out in a black bikini.
"Well, Ace and I will go wait for you guys," said Naruto as she passed by the rest of the team with Ace right behind her.
"Is it wrong to think she's cute when she's dressed like that?" asked Robin.
Naruto walked onto the sandy beach and felt the breeze of the ocean on her face.
"Feels really nice," she thought before lowering her head, "I wish I could see it."
"Yay!" came a second and more excited voice inside her head, "I've always wanted to go to the beach and play with friends!"
"In case you haven't noticed, WE'RE BLIND!" shouted an angry voice inside her head, "Why don't we just asked that old fart in the sky to give us our sight back?"
Naruto sighed in annoyance and sat down.
"Can't those two ever shut up?" she asked no one in particular as Ace lied down next to her, "And I already tried that, you two. Now, SHUT UP!"
The door that led inside opened and the rest of the team came out. Naruto stood up and stretched then headed to the water.
"Hey!" called out M'gann, "Where are you going?"
"Blind people can swim too!" called back Naruto as she Ace came over kept an eye on her.
She dove in and calmly swam just a little under the surface. As she gathered her thoughts, a sharp pain shot through her legs and she tensed up. She gasped and water filled her lungs. An instant later, Kaldur pulled her up to the surface and she coughed hard.
"What happened?" questioned Robin as Kaldur brought Naruto ashore.
Naruto coughed some more before she grunted in pain as she grabbed her wrist. It seemed to vibrate out of focus as Naruto rolled on the ground as she screamed in pain.
"Make it stop!" she screamed, "Make it stop!"
A silver light gathered around her hand and quickly stopped it from vibrating. Naruto took several deep breaths as she flexed her hand and looked up at the team.
"I guess I have some more explaining to do," said Naruto with a sigh.
(A Couple Hours Later)
"So, that's it," said Naruto with a sigh as he looked down from the team, Batman, and Martian Manhunter.
"So, you have this… Speed Sickness?" questioned Red Tornado.
"Yeah," said Naruto in defeat, "My life is tethered to my connection to the Speed Force. Since I'm losing it, I'm also losing my life."
"Why didn't you tell us?" questioned Kaldur.
"Because, it's my burden to bare," said Naruto with a sigh, "Khonsu is holding it off for now but unless I get my speed back, I'm going to eventually die."
"You should've told the League about this," scolded Batman.
"I didn't think it was important for you people to know," said Naruto as she pet Ace, "Besides, the Speed Force itself said that it would give me my speed back if I prove myself to it. No idea what it means though."
She felt something off and raised her head and froze.
"What is it?" asked Robin.
"It's nothing," said Naruto as she shook her head, "Why? Why am I thinking of him now?"
As she was lost deep in thought, M'gann looked at her and tried to read Naruto's mind again.
"Oh, Naruto!" came the excited voice of a young girl, "We've got a new friend!"
"What are you talking about?" thought Naruto.
"She means that stupid alien girl," came the annoyed voice of a young boy, "She's reading your mind."
"M'gann, please get out of my head before I tear yours off," threatened Naruto angrily in her mind.
M'gann quickly ended the link and Naruto sighed. She flinched a little as her finger began fading while it vibrated before stopping. Ace growled when someone approached and Naruto placed her hand atop his head.
"Calm down, boy," said Naruto.
"I'm Artemis," said the girl as she held out her hand.
"And I'm blind," said Naruto as she turned her head to the side.
"Oh," gasped Artemis in surprise, "I'm so sorry."
"It's alright," assured Naruto before she turned her head in the direction of the Zeta Beam platform, "And here comes our resident speedster."
Recognized: Kid Flash. B 0-3
Wally appeared in a flash of light on the Zeta Beam platform dressed in beach clothes with plenty of stuff in his arms.
"Let's get this party star…" exclaimed Wally before he tripped.
The beach ball bounced out of his arms and over Batman before it rolled to a stop. Naruto's cellphone went off and she tapped Ace on the head. A soundproof energy dome appeared over her as she pulled out the phone and she answered.
"Hello?" she asked.
"I don't recall me risking my hide during the recruiting phase as part of the job," shouted Constantine over the large amount of energy bolts flying over his head while he took cover.
"I volunteered to go to Azareth but you insisted on going instead," said Naruto over the line, "What did you do to get them to attack you?"
"Oh, just accidently damaged a statue of their founder," said Constantine as he peered around the pedestal he was hiding behind, only to quickly pull his head back to avoid another laser bolt.
"Just get back and I'll try myself later," said Naruto in exasperation, "I can't have your death hanging over my head. I've gotta go before the others get suspicious about why I'm not paying attention."
She hung up and tapped Ace on the head again, getting him to retract the soundproof dome.
"Abducted two weeks ago," said Red Arrow as everyone examined the screens the computer brought up, "By the League of Shadows."
Naruto clenched her hand for an instant at the name of the organization.
"Whoa!" said Robin in awe, "And you want us to rescue her?"
"He obviously rescued her beforehand, Richard," said Naruto as she got up and Ace helped her over, "Besides, I'm sensing a but here."
"And just who are you?" questioned Red Arrow suspiciously.
Naruto smirked and flipped up her hood, donning her Moon Knight armor before flipping it off to return to normal.
"The Shadows had already coerced her into creating a weapon," said Red Arrow as he pressed a button on his remote to bring up several more screens, "Doc calls it "The Fog", comprised of millions of microscopic robots."
"They can break down anything they're targeting," said Naruto as she placed a hand on Ace's head, "But their biggest use is gathering information."
"How do you know that?" asked Wally.
"I had Ace here hack into Speedy's program and translate it into Morse Code for me," said Naruto as Ace gave over several audible growls with several quick breaks between them.
"Either way, the Shadows can use that information to gain access to weapons, strategic defense, innovative science, and tech," said Red Arrow.
"Perfect for extortion, manipulation, power broking," listed off Artemis, "Yeah. Sounds like the Shadows."
"Like you know anything about the Shadows," remarked Wally and getting a teasing smirk from Artemis, "Who are you?!"
"Roquette's working on a virus to render the Fog inert," reported Red Arrow.
"But if the Shadows know she can do that…" realized Robin.
"They'll target her," said Red Arrow as another screen popped up, "I hid her at the local high school's computer lab."
"You left her alone?" asked Green Arrow incredulously.
"She's safe enough for now," responded Red Arrow.
Naruto raised her head and turned her head slightly to the left. Batman noticed this but kept most of his attention on Red Arrow. A soft and raspy voice reached Naruto's ears before she folded her arms after Red Arrow left.
"Anybody else hear that?" she asked.
"I don't hear anything," said M'gann.
Naruto jumped and spun around.
"What's wrong?" asked Kaldur.
"I just felt something touch my shoulder," said Naruto as she got into a fighting stance.
"Naruto, there's no one here," said Wally.
Naruto took several deep breaths before getting out of her stance and turning toward the team.
"Perhaps you should sit this one out," advised Superboy, "We still haven't tested the full extent of how bad your blindness is."
Naurto smirked and whistled. Several balls shot out of Ace's back just as Naruto pulled out a silver pistol and fired off in the direction the balls had gone in. They landed on the ground but didn't bounce as they each had a hole in them.
"You were saying?" asked Naruto before blowing off the smoking barrel.
"I vote she goes," said Wally almost instantly.
Naruto smiled and flipped up her hood. She walked toward the Zeta Beam platform before stopping next to Kaldur.
"You sit this one out," said Moon Knight as she placed a hand on Kaldur's shoulder, "We can call you for back up if we need it."
"Are you sure?" asked Kaldur.
"Positive," said Moon Knight, "Besides, this will give you time to explain to Batman how bad the damages to the living quarters are."
A large portal opened in front of Moon Knight and she casually walked inside.
"Why use a Boom Tube?" asked Wally aloud.
"What damages?" questioned Batman.
Aqualad sighed and hung his head.
Moon Knight stepped out of the Boom Tube right outside the high school when she paused. Feeling something, she turned her head a little before blinking. She raised an eyebrow as she began to see extremely blurry shapes. She held up her hand in front of her face to see a large smudge moving across her eyes.
"My sight's returning?" she thought in disbelief, "But how?"
(That Night)
Moon Knight sat around and watched Dr. Roquette work on the virus while everyone else was communicating via M'gann's telepathic link. Kid Flash, Robin, and Artemis were also in the room with Moon Knight and Roquette while M'gann and Superboy patrolled outside. Moon Knight turned on a second computer and quickly typed something on the monitor before she threw a pencil at Kid Flash. Having been hit in the head, Kid Flash glared at Moon Knight, who gestured him over to read what was on the monitor.
"M'gann, Naruto wants you to add her to the mental link," thought Kid Flash.
After a moment, everyone heard Moon Knight sigh.
"Don't expect me to allow this to continue all the time," thought Moon Knight, "After this mission, I'm kicking you all out. It's bad enough that I have those four kids running around inside my head."
"Four kids?" questioned Artemis.
"She means me and my brothers!" exclaimed an elated feminine voice, "Hi, new friends! Oh, M'gann, you're so pretty! And I can't wait to see our newest friend in bed."
"WOULD YOU JUST SHUT UP?!" shouted an angry male voice, "IT'S BAD ENOUGH WE'RE LETTING PEOPLE IN OUR HEAD BUT THEY DON'T WANT TO HEAR YOU!"
"Both of you, go away!" thought Moon Knight angrily.
"I couldn't get the Justice League to look after me," thought Dr. Roquette in annoyance.
"Just be happy we even agreed to protect you," thought the disgruntled Moon Knight, "And Wally, shut up about Artemis taking Speedy's place."
"But she…" began Kid Flash.
"No buts!" thought Naruto loudly, "It's bad enough that I'm going to eventually die unless I get my speed back, but I don't have enough patience to deal with your whining. Artemis, please go help M'gann and Superboy patrol the perimeter."
"Gladly," thought Artemis as she stormed out of the room.
Moon Knight took several deep breaths before getting up to peer over Roquette's shoulder.
"The virus won't be of much use if we don't track the weapon," thought Moon Knight as she folded her arms, "Can you track it?"
"My utility fog is not a weapon," thought Roquette as she glared back at Moon Knight, "It's science, brilliant science."
Moon Knight held out her hand to stop Roquette as she suddenly looked off to the side.
"Just get to it," thought Moon Knight with concern, "Everyone, be on guard. There's something here that's not supposed to be."
Roquette went online and began searching.
"Tracking the Fog now," she announced as the program began working.
"Mmm," thought Artemis, "That boy."
"He can hear you, you know," thought M'gann in annoyance, "We all can hear you."
"Oh, I know," thought Artemis in a sultry tone.
"M'gann, we've located the Fog," announced Moon Knight as she looked at the Roquette's screen, "Reconfigure the bioship so that Robin and Superboy can pursue."
Moon Knight then sat down and blocked off the connection to the others for a moment as she took out her cellphone, getting a look from Kid Flash.
"It's untraceable," assured Moon Knight before she dialed.
"Hello?" asked Constantine from the other end.
"It's me," said Moon Knight, "Have you ever heard of a creature that only one person can sense but others can't?"
"You're going to have to be more specific," said Constantine.
"The person sensing the creature feels cold," added Moon Knight, "It feels like a strange sense of dread falls over the person. Like you're at the end of your rope."
"Well, there are plenty of creatures that could cause that," said Constantine, "But the one you're most likely thinking of would be the Grim Reaper himself. But he only appears to those are about to die."
"Great," said Moon Knight before she suddenly looked up, "I'll call you back tomorrow."
She hung up and pulled out two small swords.
"Wally, patrol the halls," ordered Moon Knight, "M'gann, Artemis, be careful out there. We've got a visitor."
Wally quickly left and Moon Knight took a position closer to Roquette. About two minutes later, the door squeaked and Moon Knight looked over her shoulder a little. A high pitched whirling went through the air and Moon Knight deflected the shuriken aimed at Roquette. She then shoved Roquette to the floor and got in front of and blocked several more with the armor on her left arm.
"Nice reflexes," said the distorted voice of the woman who was attacking as she darted inside with two sais in her hands.
"I was taught by the best," said Moon Knight as she and the woman fought.
"Too bad my poison splatters quiet easily," chimed in the woman before Moon Knight kicked her back, forcing her to lad on a desk.
"Artemis, M'gann, Wally, we're under attack in the computer lab," said Moon Knight urgently as she reengaged the woman.
"On our way," thought Artemis urgently.
Moon Knight backed toward the wall with Roquette and continued on the defensive until the woman put her in a head scissors and took her to the ground. The woman through a sai at Roquette but Moon Knight managed to block it by throwing her own sword.
"Almost," said the woman as she pulled out another sai while getting up at the same time as Moon Knight before locking blades, "You getting tired yet?"
"I have a lot of stamina," said Moon Knight before she was headbutted to the ground by the woman.
"But you have a fragile head it seems," said the woman as she raised her said.
Artemis' arrow flew by, knocking the said out of the woman's hand while also grazing it. The woman glared at Artemis, who already had another arrow notched.
"Don't move," warned Artemis.
Moon Knight grunted as she got to her feet and realized her eye sight had completely returned. She looked up at the woman as she cut through/deflected the arrows. Wally and M'gann entered behind Moon Knight and the woman looked at them.
"Maybe a little too interesting," said the woman.
"Jade?" asked Moon Knight in confusion as she pulled off her hood.
The woman's eyes grew wide under her mask and she quickly threw down a flashbang. Wally ran through the smoke to try and grab her but only in grabbing Artemis. He quickly jumped back and looked around the room.
"Gone," he said in annoyance.
"She's getting away," said Roquette loudly, "You're letting her get away!"
"This is all your fault!" shouted Kid Flash at Artemis.
Naruto spun Kid Flash around and slapped him across the face.
"Enough," she said in disgust, "You need to swallow your pride and accept that she's part of the team."
"But she drove Speedy out," argued Kid Flash.
"She did nothing of the sort!" yelled Naruto, "He's just got such a stick up his ass that he doesn't want any help!"
"You take that back!" demanded Kid Flash.
"I may not have my speed anymore but I can still kick your ass!" shouted Naruto back.
"Why did you call that woman Jade?" questioned M'gann as she tried to defuse the situation, "Do you know her?"
Naruto took a deep breath and walked to the door.
"I thought I did," said Naruto as she flipped her hood up, "We need to move the doctor quickly."
She took a communicator and held it up to her ear.
"Hey, Kaldur," she said over it, "Looks like we need your help after all."
(Several Minutes Later)
Moon Knight stood inside an internet café while Dr. Roquette worked on the virus.
"I've almost got it," she announced.
After about five minutes, Moon Knight pulled out one of her short swords and threw it at the ceiling. It collapsed and Cheshire fell through. She grunted as she got up and Moon Knight got between her and Roquette.
"Stand down, Jade," ordered Moon Knight as she held up her other sword.
"I have to admit that I was surprised when you were here, Rio," said Cheshire, "But a mission is a mission."
"If you want her, you're going to have to go through me," said Moon Knight.
A strange black smoke flew in through the hole and Moon Knight grunted as it wrapped around her just as Kaldur arrived. The smoke pulled Moon Knight off the ground and out of the hole in the ceiling. It carried Moon Knight into the forest and let her fall hard onto the ground. Moon Knight grunted in pain as she looked up to see the smoke forming a man with a long black jacket over armor that had grenades strapped to his chest. A long skull mask obscured his face and seemed to change his voice.
"You… you're Reaper," said Moon Knight as she got to her feet.
Reaper pulled out two sawed-off shotguns and Moon Knight jumped into the bushes to dodge the blasts that came from them. Moon Knight pulled out her pistols and dove out from cover while firing. The shots never made contact as Reaper as he turned to smoke wherever the bullets would've hit. Reaper dropped his shotguns and shakily raised his hands as black smoke rose from his feet. An instant later, blood red lasers shot out from the pistols he pulled out of his coat in every direction. Everything the lasers touched disintegrated and Moon Knight had to constantly keep running. A laser struck her in the heel and Moon Knight fell to the ground.
Reaper floated over to Moon Knight and grabbed her by the throat. They flew through countless trees with Moon Knight crashing through each one. They eventually made it back to town and Moon Knight landed in the water. Moon Knight grunted as her hood fell off and felt her wounds slowly heal in the moonlight. Reaper stomped on Naruto's back and she hacked hard. He pointed a pistol down at her head and Naruto looked up at Reaper, managed to see an eye through Reaper's mask.
"Die," said Reaper coldly.
"S-Sasuke," muttered Naruto as she was about to pass out from the pain.
Reaper paused before he caught an arrow aimed directly at his head. He looked at it before the tip exploded right in his face. He grunted and staggered away as Kid Flash grabbed Naruto and appeared back with the team. Reaper glared at the team as they all drew their weapons.
"You can't take us all on," said Kaldur.
Reaper glared at them through his partially broken mask and glared at them with his red eye that had three tomoes in it before he turned into black smoke and flew off. Naruto sluggishly got to her feet and her armor vanished. She removed her jacket and shirt to reveal her wrapped chest as she walked forward. She stepped into the water and took a deep breath before she plunged into the water.
"What's she doing?" questioned Wally.
A silver light appeared in the water with the sound of chanting in a strange language filling the air. An instant later, Naruto broke through the water's surface and took in the slight tingling sensation that enveloped her body. She looked at the others and walked toward them. Gathering her clothes, Naruto left through a Boom Tube without saying a thing.
(The Next Day)
In the world of Azarath, a young girl garbed in white sat meditating when Moon Knight walked up behind her.
"Rachael Roth," said Moon Knight calmly.
The girl looked back at Moon Knight and frowned.
"How do you know my name?" asked the girl.
"I apologize for being so formal," said Moon Knight, "Perhaps you would prefer the name Raven?"
"Who are you?" questioned Raven as Moon Knight took a seat next to her.
"You are special, Raven," said Moon Knight as she picked a flower and smelled it, "And I'm not talking about who your father is."
"You know about my father?" questioned Raven.
"I know he is a being of pure evil and you want to find out more about him," said Moon Knight as she handed the flower to Raven, "But you know all about him already. And if the time comes that he wishes to take over Earth, you're going to need help."
Moon Knight stood up then took a deep breath.
"If you ever wish to have help dealing with him, come find me on Earth," said Moon Knight as she looked back at Raven, "Azarath Metrion Zinthos."
Moon Knight vanished as light seemed to bend around her, leaving Raven by herself with the flower in her hand.
(Back on Earth)
Moon Knight entered Mount Justice then flipped her hood off to remove her armor with Ace waiting for her. They entered the sitting room and found the entire team assembled there.
"Why do I feel like I just got called the principal's office?" asked Naruto as she went over to a snack tray and picked up a mini sandwich.
"How do you know Cheshire?" questioned Kaldur.
"She's my girlfriend," said Naruto casually as she ate the mini sandwiches.
"Define girlfriend," said Robin.
"The kind that's in love and has sex," said Naruto as she got herself a glass of water, "She's also the one that taught me to fight without sight."
"Clearly not a problem anymore," said Wally.
"How can we be sure that you won't tell Cheshire about any of us?" questioned Superboy, "Or any of the League's secrets?"
"How can we be sure you won't turn on us?" retorted Naruto as she looked at each of her teammates, "How can we be sure Kaldur won't freak out when he finds out who his father is? How do we know if we can trust M'gann given what she really is? How are we able to trust Artemis when I know who her family is?"
"How do you know all these things?" questioned M'gann cautiously.
"I hacked the Justice League's computer and found out a lot of things," said Naruto as she sat next to Ace, "The rest I did some guessing and others I got from Lord Khonsu."
Everyone looked at each other as took another sip of water.
"We all have secrets we want to keep but I'll tell you all one thing," said Naruto, "Back on my Earth, I was the youngest detective in the history of the Central City Police Department. I joined them because I didn't want anyone to go through the pain I experienced when I lost my parents to Savitar. I did many horrible things as Godspeed but I did them all with that ideal in mind."
She sat her cup down and looked at the floor.
"When I first got my speed, I had been using it to kill people that were criminals," she confessed, "But my pride obscured my judgement and an innocent man lost his life. I lost everything because of it. But being a cop made me realize something. You need to have contacts in the underworld that will help you."
She stood up and Ace did as well.
"You can all discuss my membership in this team while I try and go talk to Cheshire," said Naruto as she and Ace left through a Boom Tube.
Naruto and Ace exited the Boom Tube and came face to face with Jade. They sat across a coffee table from each other and remained silent.
"So… how is this going to work now?" questioned Jade suspiciously.
"Well, I was thinking we could go see a movie since I'm probably not going to be a member of the team with your sister anymore," said Naruto calmly as she put her feet up.
A door appeared in the middle of the room and it opened with Constantine walking out.
"Am I interrupting something?" he asked.
"Not really," said Naruto as she looked at the man, "Why are you here?"
"I've managed to convince an old friend to join our little group," explained John.
"I see," said Naruto as she pulled out a deck of cards.
"What group?" questioned Jade as Naruto shuffled the deck of cards.
"I'm putting a team together that deals with the supernatural side of crime," explained Naruto while dealing the deck, "This is a team that the Justice League doesn't know exists. And now that I think about it, you would make a pretty good addition to it."
"You're seriously asking a criminal to join you?" questioned Jade in amusement.
"You know quite a bit about southern Asian mythology from what you told me about yourself," said Naruto calmly with a smile, "Besides, I hear your mother's medical bills are quite high."
"What about them?" questioned Jade as the mood suddenly turned dark.
"It's just I have some extra cash lying around and was looking for an investment," commented Naruto as she looked at her cards, "And it would be a shame if she suddenly lost her insurance."
"You little…" growled out Jade.
"Oh, I'm not threatening to get rid of it," assured Naruto, "I'm only a minority owner in the company so I don't have much say. I'm just saying that in the event of her losing coverage, I would be happy to pay it for her."
Naruto put her hand down and reveal a royal flush.
"What do you say, Jade?" asked Naruto with a cunning smile.
Reaper entered a dark and dirty apartment as smoke then calmly walked to the bathroom. He turned on the light and looked at his broken mask while his wounds quickly healed. He clenched his fists and shattered the mirror with a single punch.
