"Cochineal why have you left?" Lex's voice sounded through the earpiece. I had swum into the cave and was in the process of find a way to access the computer without alerting anyone.
"Ryx'hal didn't deserve that. The justice league needs to answer for it." I lied. Deep down I know they couldn't have kept her like that.
"They already did, do you not remember the heap of bodies you and Mercy left behind?" Okay how to lie now. I got nothing.
"I need answers."
"Teagan come back to my building." Someone doesn't want me to find answers. Scarab do you know anything about this.
"Knowledge or information about this project is either nonexistent or hidden. Maybe to keep such information from you. I would trust the Lex Luthor." Suspicious. I don't like suspicious.
The cost looked clear as I passed through the kitchen. That was, until I felt the pain of a fist as it impacted with my face. Sonofa-
My eyes rolled at Jaime as he stood in front of me with Batbrat and Beast Boy behind him.
"I don't want to hurt you Teagan but if I have to I will." Jaime said and it took everything I had to stop myself from laughing in his face. He hates me. Why would he care if I got hurt or not.
"Bullshit." Well, there goes stealth.
"Teagan, return now!" Lex demanded.
"Little busy right now." I answered as I got into a fighting stance. Jaime chuckled at me. "What's so funny?"
"There's three of us and one of you." Yeah... Gar won't hurt me, Batbrat has no powers and I beaten his ass once already. Didn't even take much.
"I know, you should have brought more backup." I answered with a grin.
"Lex is trying to override my system." What?! Stop him! "It's too late. Warn them."
"He's gonna make me hurt y-." I got out before my voice cut off. "Let's get rid of these pests shall we."
Yes it's short but I want to leave you hanging. also I want you to get the idea that lex shut off her ability to see what was going on to avoid her protest.
Hope you enjoyed
