Okay, I'm back with the next chapter of this little story. It will get better, I promise. And, once again, here's Jinx with the disclaimer!
Jinx: I hate you.
Titangirl: Be nice, Jinxie!
Jinx: *mumbles under her breath*
Titangirl: What was that?
Jinx: I said that you are a psychotic authoress that is writing a story that is dumb and makes no sense! It's a boring story!
Titangirl: Do you really feel that way, Jinx?
Jinx: YES!
Titangirl: Well, everyone is entitled to their opinion. I'm sorry it had to be this way, Jinx.
Jinx: What do you –
Titangirl: *opens up the trap door under Jinx, who falls in. The door then closes* Dang, now I need a new assistant…hm, well, I don't own Teen Titans or Marvel Comics (just in case they come into play). DC Comics owns the Teen Titans, and Cartoon Network owns something. I just don't remember what. Oh, and sorry about the change of last name for Toni. My computer is very dumb, with an IQ of 43, and likes to make my n's into r's. Yeah, I don't get it either. So, I finally fixed it and you will see n's now. I will not be going back to change the previous chapters until after I have finished the story, so live with it!

"We can never thank you enough, Miss."
Rachel stood in front of the cash register, trying to buy some earrings, but the cashier kept pestering her about the robbery. Rachel sighed, holding back from snapping at the lady.
"Really, it was no big deal. Can you ring up the earrings now?" Rachel said coldly, using her best monotone voice. She narrowed her eyes a bit.
The lady blanched and nodded and began the process of selling the earrings. While she was doing this, Rachel glanced around for Jen, and found her huddled with the others by the shoes. She saw Jade shaking her head fervently but her sightseeing ended when the cashier tapped her on the shoulder and said, "That's $674.59, Miss."
Rachel paid the woman and walked away, putting the expensive pieces in her pocket. She dared someone to try and pickpocket her. She strolled away, toward her friends. They didn't seem to notice her. As she got closer, she heard snippets of their conversation.
"…good idea…dangerous…"
"I won't…need…"
"Shut…do…for her…"
"Promise?"
"Hey Rachel!" Mia said, noticing the girl over Jen's shoulder. The other girls spun around, surprised looks on their faces. Rachel looked at them all with a cold glare.
"Is there something you're keeping from me? Because I really would like to know what it is," Rachel said, voice like ice, cutting and freezing. Everyone but Jen paled.
"Well?" Rachel was getting tired of waiting for an answer. If they didn't say something soon, she was just going to walk away.
"Well, Rachel…we, I mean I, had an idea," Toni started, changing her story after a look from Jade. "Maybe we should do everything possible to stop things like that attempted robbery."
Rachel just looked at her, and then nodded her head slightly. "And how would we do that?"
"Well, that's the thing, Rae. I think the best possible thing to do is to, well, become superheroes. I mean," she began to speak faster, noticing the look on Rachel's face, "you saved Lilith that one time and now you've saved this store. You're a natural born hero. Plus, with the rising gang wars, maybe we could do something to save our city from becoming somewhere like Gotham. C'mon, there are other heroes! Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman! People look up to those heroes!" Toni ended her little speech there, growing wary of Rachel. She took one step back. Then Rachel spoke.
"Toni, there are several things I would like to say about your little tirade. One, do not call me Rae, because my name is Rachel! Two, what makes you think we could be superheroes? We can't fight; we have no powers, nothing. Is death what you're looking for? And three, do you want to be like those heroes? Always being the hero, never getting close to anyone because you have enemies. Always being suspicious of everything and never fully happy? You're getting ahead of yourself, Toni. This is not the best idea. The gangs out there could kill us."
"I know. But they could kill other innocent people too. I mean, there have been several deaths in the last couple of weeks; brutal and cunning. This metropolis needs help, and we can give it to them!" Toni replied, faster than Rachel expected. She was just about to reply to Toni, yet again, when Jen jumped in.
"I think it's a good idea, Rach. Think of what we could do!" Jen said, stepping between Rachel and Toni. Then Lilith stepped up.
"We were just agreeing that it was the best thing to do when you came over. Everyone's for it…except you…and Jade."
Rachel glanced over at Jade, who looked at Rachel with steely eyes. "My mother would kill me if I became part of a crime fighting group. Plus, we could get killed or make things worse!" Jade said, a bit quickly. Rachel silently agreed, except it would be her father that would kill her.
"Please, Rachel? Can we at least train? You don't have to fight; just work with us in training," Jen pleaded, looking straight at Rachel with a hopeful gaze.
Rachel mulled it over. She could…maybe. Things could be bad with her father, but Toni was right, there were so many people she could help. She knew through her father's dinner parties that some group called the HIVE was setting up a base on the outskirts of town. The gangs were battling harder than ever and some people swear they had seen some notorious assassins hanging about town. Rachel, deep down, knew it wasn't the best idea, but there was just so much that could be done. Some scum could be wiped away from the underbelly of this city that was rotting from the inside out. Rachel knew the police force was half crooked and there was a lot of crime. The more she thought about it, the more she knew that she had to do it. To save people that couldn't be saved. To redeem herself, her family name, perhaps.
"Okay."
The other girls stared at her, startled. Rachel had been silently thinking for over a minute. As they realized what she had said, a smile grew on all of their faces except Jade.
"But just training, for now."
All the girls nodded, squealed, and jumped up and down. Rachel and Jade refrained from all of this, slightly creeped out. Then Mia asked, "Where are we gonna get powers from?"
This stumped them. As they pondered this new interference with their plan, Rachel went off to talk to Jade. No one knows what they said but when the two came back, Jade was saying that she'd train, but only that for the time being. That's when Lilith had the idea.
"Wayne Enterprises. We could get powers from Wayne Enterprises. My dad works there and he told me about this new experimental 'super suits' that they were coming up with. Each has their own powers and is concealable. Isn't that cool?" The other girls, save Rachel and Jade, were very excited, but then Rachel reminded them, "I doubt that Bruce Wayne will let us just walk in and take the suits. We'd have to steal them."
"Steal?" Jen asked, slightly worried now. Wayne Enterprises was a fortress. How the hell were they going to get in?
"Maybe I could make a copy, a real copy of my dad's id badge. If I took it, he'd know it was missing and connect the thefts to us. But if he has it, then possibly we could get inside, avoid traps, and get the costumes."
The rest of the cluster stared at her. Lilith shrank away, berating herself for the idea. Then Rachel said, "Lilith, that's brilliant!" Lilith smiled, stepping closer to the girls.
"But I think only one of us could go inside," Raven continued, "because we need someone to monitor and remove all traps for us via computer, two people to watch the outside, and two to watch inside. Jennifer, you should be the one to go inside. Everyone knows you're sneaky, can find the best hiding spots, and know martial arts." Jen looked at Rachel with wide eyes.
"Oh, no, Rach. I couldn't do it. Send Jade instead!" Jen said, a are-you-crazy look on her face. Rachel, though, looked stern.
"If we're doing this, then you're going in. Jade and I will watch the inside; Toni and Lilith outside. Mia, you'd be on the computer," Rachel said, explaining all details to the slightly intimidated girls. Mia nodded, knowing what she could do with the computer. "You can do it, Mia?" Rachel asked, glancing at the shrewd computer hacker. The only one better with computers than her was Cassandra Cain, but of course they weren't going to her for help.
"Yeah. Once Jen's in, I just need to hack into the system when it's at its lowest, which would be when the door is opening. I'll give Jen something to stick onto whatever id scanner they have so that I can get in all the way," Mia said, looking thoughtful. She was considering how she was going to play this. There were so many things that could go wrong. Rachel was watching all of the girls with calculating eyes, then she turned and said, "Well, I don't know about you, but I'm going home before it get's dark." And with that she walked off. The girls shared a glance, excited but worried, and followed after Rachel, hurrying to catch up.

The very next night…
It was very late at night in Jump City. Most people, or at least the ones with common sense, were asleep in their beds, doors and windows locked tightly. Sadly, this was not the case for our five of our six dear heroines. No, they were wide awake, sipping coffee, and walking in the direction of the center of the city. Normally, this was a very foolish thing to do, five pretty girls walking around at night with all of the scum and gangsters out, just waiting to rape some poor, unsuspecting teenager. But this was not a normal night, no. Tonight was the night that these five pretty girls were going to break into and rob a high security vault of one of the richest men in the world's giant company. Wane Enterprises sold technology among other things, mostly to the government, but also to some more prominent companies, such as S.T.A.R. Labs. Knowing that they were heading off into the night to rob somewhere only made the girls feel dirty, like the scum that they were about to come across. They had just crossed a road and were very close to Wayne Enterprises when one of the many punks that this city held stepped out of the shadows of an alleyway, a woman in a tattered dress behind him. For a moment he only leered at the future superheroines, and then shrugged, "I already had dinner, but you'd make a nice dessert, pretty ladies." He lunged for Lilith, who freaked.
Lilith Clay had already become very close to being raped in her lifetime. She knew that it was not a pleasant feeling to be forced to do something, so she did what girls in a fight with a nasty man did best. She kicked him in the groin. He fell to the ground, clutching his crotch. The ragged woman that he had previously raped stumbled out from the alleyway, clutching herself. She saw the girls, and then saw her previous attacker on the ground. She then looked at the girls once more, unsure of what to say, so Rachel spoke for her.
"Run. Get out of here before you are injured again," Rachel said, looking straight at the petrified woman. The woman nodded her head slightly, eyes darting between the man and Rachel.
"Thank…thank you," the woman said, her long blonde hair getting in her face. She swiped it out of the way and looked back toward the troupe of troublemakers, but they had disappeared into the night.
In actuality, the five teenage girls had merely walked around her and stepped into the alley to take a shortcut to Wayne Enterprises. Rachel shivered as they entered the alleyway, remembering her dream, but trying to focus on the task at hand. They moved through the alley, jumped several fences, and then there they were. Wayne Enterprises. The place that contained what they needed to be something other than themselves. Rachel stopped them all from moving. She grabbed her black cell phone and pressed speed dial number six. They waited while it rang and then it was answered.
"I'm in position," Mia's voice said through the receiver, "so tell me when we're ready."
"Toni and Lilith are getting into position right now. From there, Jade and I will follow Jen in, keeping to the shadows, taking out anybody we need to. Then Jen will use the id to get into the main vault. Do you have the plans, Mia? Because you know we need you watching Jen from the cameras and looping them to everyone else to get Jen even into the vault," Rachel replied, motioning Toni and Lilith to move. They went in opposite directions, both neat the door of the company building.
"Yes, I know, Rach. My loop feed is ready to go and I have a blueprint of the building so that I can guide Jennifer. I'm ready," Mia responded, sounding slightly more confident. Rachel nodded, even though Mia couldn't see her.
"Okay, we're heading in. Keep a watch on us and tell us when someone's coming. If we need you, we'll contact you by way of cell phone."
"Over and out, boss lady. I just hope we know what we're doing," Mia answered, saying the last part softly. Rachel flipped her phone shut, checked that Toni and Lilith were where they were supposed to be, and then turned to Jen.
"Why are we doing this again? We're going to get caught and spend the rest of our lives in jail. Is that the future you want? Because I can assure you, it's the one we're getting," Rachel whispered to Jen, as they walked toward the main doors of the place.
"You're just getting me more worried, Rae. Go bother Jade," Jen said, feeling the nervous tingle spread from just her stomach all the way down her legs. She felt like she was walking on jelly.
Rachel smirked, "Just letting you know what you're getting into, Hex." Jen rolled her eyes and then said, "Hurry up, Jade! We have to go!" Jade rushed to catch up.
Rachel sighed and then thought, I just hope we know what we're doing. We're going to need a lot of luck to get through this.
When the group of three reached the front doors, there were no guards in need of taking out. So, Jen took out the id and swiped it on the scanner. To all of the girls' surprise, it worked. The door made a beeping sound and swished open to allow them access. Jen quickly slapped the probe that Mia had given them onto the scanner, allowing Mia to hack into the mainframe of the building. As soon as that was done, she swiveled the cameras several times to show that she had control. Rachel saw the sign and motioned for them to move forward. The three girls sneaked forward quietly, noticing no one. Then the cameras went up and down once; the signal that only one person was headed their way. Jade and Rachel prepared themselves as Jen melted into the shadows. The man rounded the corner and could barely register two teenage girls dressed in all black before he was under attack. Jade kicked him in the stomach, and then dropped down to sweep his legs from under him. It might not have worked if Rachel hadn't punched the back of the man's neck, causing temporary paralysis.
When the guy was down and out, Rachel and Jade shared a small smile with each other, and then advanced. They saw Jen sneaking ahead of them and hurried to catch up to her. They made it to the main vault with no other inconveniences. Jen swiped the id yet again but the door did not beep and open. She tried again. Nothing. The door was not opening. Rachel took out her phone and speed dialed Mia again. Mia answered on the first ring.
"Having trouble with that door, good lady? Shall I hold it open for you, as a true gentleman should?"
"Mia, just open the door," Rachel said in a dead monotone. Mia winced on the other side of the phone. She hated that voice. She tapped a few keys and then said,
"You need to have a code."
"What's the code?" Rachel asked, bored of standing and waiting, cautious of the fact that anyone could come around the corner.
"Hang on, hang on…" Mia said, and the sound of her tapping furiously came through the speakers of the phone. A few final taps and Mia said, "67101858623."
Rachel repeated it to Jen, who had just noticed the little number pad directly under the id checker. "Long code," Jen mumbled, trying to remember it all.
As soon as the door had sprung open, Rachel snapped the phone shut. She stuck it back in her pocket and went to one side of the door. Jade walked over to the far corner, the one that they didn't come from. Jen smiled, whispered, "Wish me luck," and walked into the vault, door closing behind her.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Inside the vault, Jennifer Mallory Hex was nervous. Hell, she was beyond nervous. She was terrified. She had never stolen anything in her life, save some candy from the grocery store when she was small. She took several steps forward, then grabbed out her hot pink cell phone. She speed dialed Mia and when she answered she said, "Mia, you have control of all of the cameras, right?"
"Right…"
"And you can tell me of any traps tht are up ahead, right?"
"Well, yeah, but…"
"Okay, good," Jen said, cutting her off. She looked ahead and said, "Is there anything ahead of me?"
"Jen, old buddy, you get to put your beloved gymnastics training to the test and go to the Olympics!" Mia said, chuckling a bit. Jen was confused and she said so.
"I don't get it," Jen said, stepping forward more. Mia laughed again and said, "Take four more steps forward and you'll see what I mean."
Jen did just that. She cautiously moved forward four steps and as soon as she had, red laser light sprung from the walls. They intersected and weaved and trapped Jen inside of them.
This is so cliché. Jen thought as she closed her phone. Then she took a deep breath and started dogging the laser beams.
She flipped over the first two, landing awkwardly between two others, almost grazing one. She rolled under a few more, did a backflip to an easier section, did a one handed cartwheel over toward the wall, did a double front flip landing on only one hand. Then she realized it. She was stuck. Three lasers were crisscrossed in front of her and they looked impossible to get over. Her brow crinkled as she tried to think of ways to gain access to the other side. These three were the only thing blocking her. She had ample landing space. Jen sighed, knowing she'd have to try something new. And magically, it hit her. She'd do what was only possible of scary good superheroes. She bounced up and down a bit and decided it was the only way.
Jennifer did what looked like a flip…except it was toward a wall, right between two lasers. She hit the wall, using her hand to propel her off of it, did another flip, and landed on the other side. She took a bow.
Knowing what she had done was practically impossible, she moved forward, not wanting to test her luck. She called Mia again and asked her, "Anything up ahead?"
"Two guards, both big, burly things," Mia replied, tapping away heatedly. Jen sighed.
"Okay, thanks, Mia," she said, ending the call. She continued forward, stepping quietly. She heard noise, and quickly hid in the shadows. She looked up ahead and saw to husky security guards standing in front of a doorway. She assumed that was where the stuff was. She knew she had to time this perfectly. Standing and waiting was the hardest part. Then the two men turned and faced each other instead of toward her. She took this as her chance, cartwheeled over to the men, and stood in front of them.
Guard #1: Who the hell are you?
Jen: The person who's breaking into this vault.
Guard #2: Get away from here, little girl. Don't make me hurt you.
Jen: Don't make me laugh.
And then there was a flurry of punches, kicks, and pressure point jabs. When all of the commotion had ended, Jen was the only one left standing.
"Thank you, nine years of martial arts training," Jen said to herself, picking her way around the two unconscious men. She reached the door, which needed a fingerprint. She sighed, grabbed one of the men who had tried to hurt her, and stuck his finger on the pad. It had just beeped when Jen let go of the heavy man, panting from the effort of holding him up. "Lay off of the cheese fries, dude," Jen said, walking into the room. Thankfully the door didn't close behind her.
She knew she was in the right room. The vault was divided into three parts. One seemed to have heaving machinery, the next had technology, and the third contained little packages. She assumed that was the one.
As she got closer, she realized that the packages were very small, kind of like a piece of jewelry. She had just begun to read what superpowers were which when she got a phone call. It was Mia. She opened her phone and Mia's worried voice was there to meet her.
"Jen, you have to get out of there. Rachel and Jade met some trouble and that trouble called for backup. I sounded an alarm in another part of the building before they could call, though. Sadly, one of the guards that were heading to the alarm saw either Toni or Lilith outside and they sounded yet another alarm. Rachel went to help them, but Jade stayed back to get you. You need to go before they seal the building!"
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, Mia. I'll get out of here, just give me a minute to grab the suits," Jen said, getting slightly worried, but knowing that she needed to stay calm, unlike Mia.
"Okay, just get going!" Mia cried from the phone and then all Jen heard was a dial tone. Jen randomly grabbed six super suits and ran for it. She ran past the guards that had been knocked down. She jumped through the laser beams, which, oddly, had not shut down when she had gotten through. She ran right back through the door from which she came. She saw Jade waiting for her by a couple of knocked out men. Jade scampered over and grabbed Jen's wrist.
"C'mon, we don't have much time before they seal the building," Jade said, calmly, but with a slightly crazed look on her face. Jen nodded and they dashed back the way they came. When they reached the front door, they saw Rachel and Toni fighting a group of about ten men. Jade and Jen saw this and automatically ran over to help. They saw Lilith a few yards away, fighting off only one man. Jade went to help Lilith, but Jen ran to Rachel.
"I got them," Jen crowed, jabbing a man in the stomach. Rachel glanced over at her for a second and then used a superb right hook on a man. Toni was knocked out, as was Lilith. Jade had gotten the man Lilith had been fighting and had beaten him already. Rachel was about to say something but she was caught off guard. A man's shoulder rammed into hers and she flew backward, out cold from hitting her head on the ground. Jen yelled over to Jade,
"Wake up Toni, Lilith, and Rae. I'll handle the guards!" Jade nodded and ran to rouse the other girls.
Three big men vs. Jennifer Mallory Hex.
This would not go down well. Jen fired off a punch at the first man, who took it, rolling his head back to avoid breaking his jaw. Then the man shot his fist out, catching Jen in the stomach. She went flying into the air but turned it into a backflip. She landed and ran at the men again, kicking one and hitting another on the neck. Both went down. One man left.
She ran at him, dodged his heavy punch, and tried to sweep his legs out from under him. He moved out of the way and pounded her on the top of her head. She fell to the ground, stunned. He loomed over her…or, at least he did until a flying black figure came at him, kicking him in the gut and jabbing him all over. He finally went down. Jen, still staggered, looked up and saw Jade standing there, holding out a hand.
"Looks like we definitely have to train," Jade said, looking slightly happy and proud. Jen nodded, unable to speak quite yet.
Rachel was just coming to. She looked at the girls and said, "To Toni's house, then?"
They all nodded and started walking, or limping in Lilith's case. Somehow, no one was really sure, they made it to the Monetti Mansion, just a few blocks down from most of their houses. Now, I don't know about your family, but walking through the front door at three a.m. with you and your girlfriends looking totally beaten up can give the wrong image. It can say that you've been partying all night or it can say…
"Toni Elizabeth Monetti! Have you been mugged?" Toni's mom screeched when she came down to see who was coming inside the house. Toni sighed.
"No, mom, I haven't been mugged. I just got in a fight. I'm fine," Toni said, avoiding her mother's gaze.
"Well, maybe your friends aren't all right. Did you ever think of that?" Mrs. Monetti said, her messy bed-head black hair getting in her face. Toni was just about to reply when her mother looked at the other girls and said, "Oh. Dears, you look awful and tired. Why don't you all shower up and then stay the night? Is that alright? It's terribly dangerous being out this late."
"Thanks, Mrs. Monetti!" Jen said happily. The rest of the girls nodded and thanked her, and then began walking up the winding staircase that led to the mansion's second floor, where Toni's room was.
Hurrying up there, away from the prying eyes of Mrs. Monetti, the girls ran off to Toni's never messy, thanks to their housekeeper Greta, bedroom. Opening the door to allow the flood of hormonal teenage girls, Toni walked into her bedroom. Then, once the door was closed, they all looked at Jen, who pulled the six small packages out from her pockets, where they had been small enough to fit.
"They seem really small," Lilith said, but right then there was a knock on the door. Jen quickly hid the parcels under Toni's pillow. Thankfully, it was only Mia who walked in, Toni's mom having let her into the house.
"Did you get 'em?" Mia asked excitedly. Jen lifted up the pillow and showed them. Then she said, "I didn't exactly get to choose the powers, so I don't know what we ended up with."
The girls looked at them expectantly and Rachel said, "Well, read us the powers and we'll decide who gets them."
"Okay, I will. Good idea, Rach," Jen said, picking up the first packet.
"Plasma energy and flight," Jen read off, looking at the girls. "Anyone want it?"
"Oh, I do!" Toni said. "Throw it here." Jen threw her the package and Toni viciously ripped into it. What she pulled out shocked them all. It was a gleaming silver necklace. The necklace had the letter A engraved on it in blood red writing.
"So it's just…jewelry?" Toni asked curiously. Rachel shrugged.
"I guess so," she said, glancing at the other packages. She grabbed one and said, "I'll take this one."
"What is it?" Jen asked. Rachel squinted at the label.
"Telekinesis/mind powers, magic, flight." Jen sighed.
"I wanted one like that!" she said, but then she noticed another, one that said, "Magic, hex bolts, can see in dark like cat, martial arts."
She ripped it open and saw another necklace, a choker with a small pendant. Rachel opened hers at the same moment and saw a small red gemstone on a delicate silver chain. She picked it up softly, examining it, contrasting the color of stone with the chain. Whoever made this had practically made it for her.
"Next?" Mia asked impatiently, wanting the two girls to be done with their extensive observation of their jewelry. Jen sighed, put the choker down, and grabbed the next package.
"Telepath/mind powers, astral form."
Lilith grabbed the package and hurriedly opened it. Out fell a delicate necklace, silver, and made of little orbs. Lilith clapped in delight and hastened to put it on.
"Martial arts, claws, poisons (non-lethal)" Jen continued. Mia and Jade both looked at each other, and then lunged for the package. Jade got there first, grabbing it and jumping on top of the bed. Mia looked depressed.
"What's left?" she asked hopefully. Jen looked down at the one little package left.
"Archery, martial arts, swordsmanship," she read, throwing the packet to Mia and picking up her choker. She put it on as Mia pulled out a necklace with a little arrow on it. A red arrow on a gold chain. She thought it was one of the most beautiful things she had ever seen.
At the same time, Jade had grabbed out a green choker with a green jewel on the end…a jade. Irony much?
As the girls examined their jewelry, someone, somewhere else, is already plotting their demise.
He sat in the shadows, fingers steeped. He waited. Then, out of the darkness, came two people. The first was an old man wearing a tuxedo. He stood off to the side and let the man hidden in the dark talk to the other newcomer. The other person was a girl, sixteen or seventeen by the look of her. She was dressed in a purple leotard and had a red sash tired around her waist. She looked at the man and waited for him to speak.
"Do you know why I called you here today?" the man asked, suddenly. She shook her head, waiting.
"I called you because I knew you would come. I knew that with the right…incentive, you would do anything." The girl just watched him as he spoke; no emotion crossed her face. He glanced at her and said, "I trust you've heard of the break in at Wayne Enterprises?"
The girl, slightly surprised, nodded, still not speaking. He looked but what crossed his face was unknown, for he was wearing a mask.
"The teenage girls that robbed the place…they took the super suits. I need you to find the girls and take them down."
The girl, who had been looking at the ground, looked up and finally spoke.
"No."
The man was shocked. How dare she say no to him! He calmed himself, knowing that it was crucial to be composed. He chuckled a bit.
"Are you sure, my dear? If you refuse, unexplained phenomenon shall occur, and you will not be on its good side."
"I said no," the girl said, staring at the man with a cool and calculating look on her face.
"Very well. Thank you for coming, child," he said, furious under the mask that she had said no. Oh well. That just means that it is time for the backup plan. He watched her as she left, melting back into the bitter darkness. He turned now to the butler, the man in the tuxedo.
"Wintergreen, have a camera set up outside Jump City High School."
The older man nodded and prepared to leave, but was stopped by the masked man.
"Oh, and Wintergreen? Get me Deadpool," he said, mouth curling into a smile under the two-toned mask.
"Yes, Mister Slade," the man named Wintergreen said and turned to leave the room.
"It's Deathstroke, Wintergreen. Deathstroke the Terminator."
