"How long has he been sitting there for?"

"Don't know, he's been like that for a while."

"You think he's alright?"

"Only one way to find out." Green Lantern sighed as he gave Hawkgirl a wary gaze. She watched as her teammate approached the other, who was sitting in silence, staring out the window of the Watch Tower.

"Hey," Lantern called out, catching Flash's attention. The fast man smiled as he watched his friend sit across from him at the table.

"What's up, GL?" he asked curiously as said man gave Flash a suspicious gaze.

"I should be asking you that," he said, confusing the simple minded hero.

"What're you talking about?" Flash asked as Green Lantern shook his head.

"You've been quiet all day."

"What? Am I supposed to be obnoxious all the time?" The two took a silent moment to think about what Flash had just said before the man himself laughed, shaking his head. "Yeah, I've been too quiet."

"So, what exactly are you thinking about?" John asked curiously as the hero sitting across from him sighed, rubbing the back of his head.

"To be honest, I actually don't know what's wrong with me," he answered earnestly, making the stern man soften inside. He found himself frowning slightly as he watched Flash stare solemnly out the window, something he never did.

"…You look like a love sick puppy, if you ask me," Lantern commented, trying to lighten the mood. The statement brought shock to the red headed hero as he blinked for a second. He thought for a moment before he chuckled. Lantern smiled at that, feeling a bit accomplished.

"You think so?"

The two shared a smile before they heard their names being called.

"Hey, boys," Hawkgirl called out, "Superman wants us," she informed them.

"Right away!" Flash said playfully as he stood to his feet. He smirked at John.

"I'll race you!" The Lantern watched Flash disappeared at the speed of light. He chuckled as he walked up beside Hawkgirl. She smirked at him as he returned the favor.

"Looks like he's back to normal."

"Looks like it."

"Jinx, I don't think this is a good idea."

"Shut up, Gizmo. If I want your opinion I'll ask next time," the leader of three snapped as she quietly peeked around a dark corner of an alley. She frowned as she shook her head.

'Like I don't know that already,' Jinx thought to herself as she took a deep breath. 'But I have to do this,' she thought, almost trying to remind herself. She looked back at Gizmo and Mammoth and nodded.

"Ok you two, if we screw this up, there's going to be no turning back, you got that?" she warned as the two men glanced at each other, nodding their heads.

"Got it," they said simultaneously. Jinx's eyes softened as she looked at them with a soft gaze, though her eyes had been hidden from them.

"…You guys can still back out. You still have time," she offered, surprising the both of them. "I haven't told you everything and have been keeping you guys in the dark. I know you've noticed that much," she said, the two men not disagreeing with her.

"Yeah, well we figured if you weren't saying anything it was for good reason," Gizmo stated. The villainess chuckled as she shook her head.

"If you want out-"

"Don't ask dumb questions, we don't got time for that," Mammoth said, interrupting her. Jinx stared at her comrades with shock as they smirked at her. Their confidence began to peek out as she sighed and smirked back.

"Alright boys, try to keep up."

Three of the members of the Justice League sat in the control room in a comfortable silence, the other four teammates gone on their own separate missions. A sigh resonated in the air, breaking the stillness in the room. Batman raised a brow as he glanced over at the source of the sigh. He glanced over at his Martian friend and they both shared a glance as they looked at the quickest man alive. Deciding to humor the seemingly quiet man, J'onn made his way over towards Flash.

"You seem quiet. Is something troubling you?"

Flash glanced over his shoulder and gave his trademark smile. He shook his head as the alien gave him a knowing look. Flash sighed as he sat down in front of the control desk. "I really don't know what's up with me…" he trailed off, trying to find the right words to say. He thought for a moment longer as the Martian waited patiently for his friend to continue.

"I mean, really, everything's fine. I should be feeling great about things…but it's like…hmm…" Flash turned to his teammate with a confused look etched on his face. "C'mon, buddy. Help me out," he said, referring to J'onn's mind abilities. Before the green man could reply back, Batman had caught both of their attention.

"Looks like there's some trouble," he said as both of the other men approached the monitor.

"What kind of trouble?" Flash asked as Batman punched in few letters and numbers on the keyboard in front of him.

"A robbery."

Three figures stood in the shadows of a large building, waiting for the right moment to strike. The clock had struck midnight long ago, the moon being the only source of light through the windows.

"What next, Jinx?" Gizmo quietly whispered as the woman ignored his question. She watched as a security guard came walking down the hall, doing his usual routine. She glanced at the water pipe on the wall and smirked. She tapped it lightly, her finger glowing pink, and watched as the guard walked right underneath the same pipe. It burst open above his head, throwing him off guard.

"What the-"

"Now!" Jinx commanded. Mammoth rose to his feet and sprinted towards the guard. The man, not having any idea about what was going on, wiped as much water from his face as he could. His eyes widened as he found a large man hurling himself towards him. Before the guard could prevent himself from getting injured, Mammoth tackled him with ease, knocking him out for the count. Jinx smirked as she and Gizmo emerged from the corner. Ignoring the water, Jinx allowed herself to get soaked as she walked past Mammoth, patting his back.

"Nice job, big guy."

"That was too easy."

"Easy for you to say, you big oaf," Gizmo commented. The two quickly broke into an argument, which was nothing new, and Jinx sighed as she decided to ignore it and move on. She made her way down the hall by herself as she gazed at each door, looking for the right entrance. Finally, Jinx came to a stop as she stood in front of the last door down the hall. She reached for the handle but hesitated.

'If I do this…there's no turning back.' She frowned at the thought as she tried to keep herself motivated. 'I don't have a choice, I need to get that damn chemical and get out fast,' she thought. Nodding her head, the dark haired woman turned the handle and opened the door. She waited for a moment, checking her surroundings and found the room to be without any alarms or traps. Closing the door, Jinx made her way towards the large counter in the middle and smirked.

"Bingo."

"Man, I hate when she does this."

"No kidding." Two men walked down the silent halls of the laboratory, searching for their leader, one much larger than the other. They sighed at the same time as the wandered aimlessly.

"…She's been acting funny lately," Gizmo suddenly pointed out. Mammoth glanced at him before nodding his head.

"I wasn't gonna say anything, but since you think the same thing."

"You have any clue what's up with her?"

"Yes, because if you do, share." The two immediately froze at the sound of the deep voice. They slowly turned around and their eyes widened as a man in black and a not so human man stood before them.

"…Crap."

"It's official," Flash sat by himself in the control room as he munched on his fifth bag of chips, fourth bowl of macaroni and cheese, and his second fully loaded turkey sandwich. "This is the worst." He sighed, spinning around in the captain chair of the room. He frowned as he scratched his head, wanting something to distract him.

After discovering that the break-in at the Metropolis Science Lab had been made by Jinx, Flash had been more than willing to take the case, had it not been for Batman. The more serious man made it very clear that Flash would be spending his time at the Watch Tower while he and J'onn went to go handle Jinx and her lackeys, much to Flash's disappointment.

"Hn…" He frowned as he found himself thinking about the villainess again. He sighed and leaned his head back, staring up at the ceiling.

"You really do have a way with words."

Flash's eyes narrowed as he sat up, feeling a bit more frustrated. "Yup, this is definitely the worst," he mumbled as he stood to his feet. He walked over to the computer and began to type in a few letters. As the image and information came up on the screen, the hero smirked, feeling a bit more motivated to be at the Watch Tower.

"Hello, Aurora Stevenson."

"Which one is it, c'mon Jinx! You got an 'A' in high school for chemistry. You can figure out which of these compounds is which!" the thief snapped to herself. She picked through each of the test tubes, looking for a certain chemical. She sighed as she ran her fingers through her silk like hair.

"I guess this is more of Gizmo's thing. I'll have to go find him."

"I'm afraid he's a bit busy right now."

Jinx's eyes widened as an unfamiliar voice filled her ears. She quickly span around and growled as she found Batman and J'onn standing before her. "You must be Flash's little friends from your little league of extraordinary people or whatever," Jinx snapped with a smirk. Batman narrowed his eyes as he glanced up at J'onn. The alien man nodded his head as he began to concentrate.

"What exactly are you here for?" Batman asked as Jinx scoffed, crossing her arms.

"Wouldn't you like to know," she replied back stubbornly. Batman sighed, thankfully he was experienced when it came to irritating and difficult people.

"Your records show that you haven't been out since almost eight years ago."

"What of it?"

"Superman said he encountered you on your last heist." That caught Jinx's full and serious attention. She took a step back as she gave Batman an unsure look.

"What are you talking about?"

"You know what I'm talking about."

"I-"

"I'm finished," J'onn finally spoke, gaining the attention of the hero and the villain.

"Finished what?"

"Reading your mind," the Martian said simply. Jinx gave J'onn and astonished and angry look as she pointed accusingly at him.

"That's an invasion of privacy!" she snapped. She shook her head and glanced to her left. Her eyes widened as she smirked, finding exactly what she was looking for. She gave the two superheroes a quick glance before making a cartwheel to her left.

"Sorry boys, but I'm afraid I don't have time for this!"

Batman quickly reacted as he stood to his feet, pulling out a Batarang, and threw it in Jinx's direction. She smirked as she landed on her feet and held her hand up. The two men watched as a pink bolt of energy hit the Batarang. Batman's eyes widened as his weapon rusted and immediately fell to the ground.

"Oops! Sorry," Jinx said sarcastically. She took a head start run and flipped over the two caped heroes. She landed on her feet gracefully and sprinted towards the door, not glancing back once. As Batman rose to his feet to follow, an arm stopped him.

"Wait."

Batman raised a brow as he turned his attention to his teammate with confusion in his eyes. "What-"

"We must let her go," J'onn said, confusing the mysterious man even more.

"What are you talking about?"

"She has no choice."
