Nightwing leaned against the computer, studying it carefully. It had been two weeks sense the girls disappeared, and none of their leads had led anywhere important.
Batgirl turned from the computer, looking up at Nightwing.
"Maybe we should stop for tonight,"
Nightwing looked at Batgirl, before his narrowed eyes returned to the computer screen,
"you should go home; Get some sleep,"
"Dick-" Batgirl started, but closed her mouth when she realized her words would have no effect.
"Alright," She agreed. It was clear to see Nightwing wanted to be alone. She got up, walking away. She turned backed and glanced at Nightwing, who was still turned to the computer. She turned around, looking slightly hurt, leaving the room.
Nightwing looked at the image shown before him. He studied the pattern; but he couldn't figure out where they had disappeared. He pinched the bridge of his nose in frustration.
He worked on the computer for what felt like hours, looking over maps and articles on recent alien sightings.
"Nightwing-!"
He turned to see Batgirl had rushed to the room.
"Turn on the satellite!" Batgirl shouted.
Nightwing turned on the satellite image. Batgirl stood behind him, punching coordinates in furiously.
The satellite showed a bright aura around Jump City.
"Whats going on?" Nightwing questioned.
"I don't know know," Batgirl answered.
"Whatever it is, we need to stop it," Nightwing said. "Get Aqualad and Tigress; I want you three down there,"
"On it," Batgirl nodded. She ran out of the room. She tapped some buttons, before speaking into a little microphone.
"Tigress and Aqualad to the ship dock," the Watchtower intercom announced. "Tigress and Aqualad, to the Ship dock,"
Batgirl finally made it, seeing Tigress and Aqualad standing there.
"What going on?' Tigress questioned.
"I'll fill you in on the way," Batgirl said, "Everyone on ship,"
Tigress and Aqualad nodded, the three of them taking position in the ship.
Batgirl looked down to see a bright green light, and someone standing in the middle of it. Crowds of people were running in a frenzy in all directions.
"You guys jump out!" Batgirl said. "I can't land,"
Tigress and Aqualad both nodded, before ejecting themselves out of the plane. They landed on the ground, pulling out there weapons in a flash.
They stared at the enemy before them.
A tall red headed girl stood in from of them. Her wrists were heavily shackled, and her her clothes and skin were covered in scratches and dirt.
Tigress raised her arrow, only for Aqualad raise his hand in front of her.
"Look at her," Aqualad motioned.
Through further examination, the girl stood in a defensive position; something had been lodged into her abdomen, and dried blood stained part of her clothes.
Aqualad took a step forward, raising his arms; The girl stepped back.
"We mean you no harm," Aqualad said gently. "Let us help you,"
The girl stared at him warily. Suddenly, she screamed, in what sounded like pain, throwing her head back, before bolts of green shot from her eyes.
Aqualad and Tigress jumped back. Aqualad used his magic on some water by a broken hydrant, creating two flexible whips.
"Just tranquilize her," Aqualad commanded.
Artemis shot her first, only for it to be incinerated in the alien's eye blast. She jumped back pulling another from her holster.
Aqualad ran and jumped up, wrapping a whip around the alien girl, tying her arms to her sides. He threw the other one at her feet, wrapping her ankles together.
"Now!"
Artemis shot an arrow in front of the girl, which then expelled a pale green gas. The girl coughed, falling to her knees.
She stared at them, shaking. She put her foot out, trying to get up; she could feel a wave of electricity run through her body. She gasped, before falling unconscious to the ground.
Aqualad and Artemis stared at Batgirl, standing behind the girl with a taser.
Aqualad huffed.
"We didn't want to hurt her,"
Batgirl shrugged.
"It was on the lowest setting. The amount of strength it must've taken to knock out those buildings, I'd say we have only an hour or two,"
Aqualad frowned, but reluctantly agreed. Batgirl and Artemis both grabbed the girl, loading her into the ship.
"We'll get her strapped down at the watchtower," Batgirl stated. "I'll call and see if Miss Martian can be ready when we get their,"
"That's fine. Make sure shes still unconscious when you get here," Nightwing said into the communicator.
He looked at it, noticing another call was trying to reach him.
"I have to go; Nightwing out,"
He pressed a few buttons, before answering the call.
"Is this the Justice League?"
Nightwing narrowed his eyes in confusion.
"How'd you get this number?"
"I know," the voice in the phone said nervously. "I know what happened to Jillian."
"Jillian Chow?"
"Yes," the voice answered. It was small, and timid sounding, like a young girl.
"I can't talk with you on the phone. They might here me. I can meet you at the library by Jillian's house," the voice said. "I'll be wearing a butterfly clip,"
Robin and Impulse quietly walked into the library, scoping out for their target. They walked around, looking over the place carefully. It looked a lot bigger inside then outside.
Robin turned, before finally seeing a girl with a book covering her face; only her black hair and a silver butterfly clip were revealed.
"Come on," Robin started forward, only to look back and see Impulse absorbed in a magazine. He huffed, pulling his friend away.
The two sat across from the girl, whose face was still hidden by her book.
"You called?" Robin asked.
The girl pulled the book down from her face. Her was like Jillian's, somewhat round, small chin, and dark colored eyes.
Robin studied her for a moment.
"You related to Jillian?"
"Yes. Mr. and Mrs. Chow are my aunt and uncle. I got the number from them."
Robin nodded.
"It seems to me you seem to know more then her parents,"
The girl nodded.
"I know what happened," the girl began. "I was there,"
Impulse's eyes widened.
"You saw?"
The girl frowned. "Not exactly,"
Robin nodded, "What can you tell us?"
"Well," She started. "Jillian and I were walking together, checking out this new thrift store on main street,"
Robin started writing down notes, and Impulse nodded.
"So, she and I were walking," the girl continued. "when we saw something strange; it was like this weird floating rock thing. Suddenly, this weird glow came from it, running over us up and down. I thought for sure it some alien tech or something people have been sneaking around."
"Jillian went to grab it, and she cut her hand on it. I went to pick it up, but Jillian grabbed my hand; She said it was covered in little needles. I didn't dare pick it up,"
"I see..." Robin nodded. "That explains why you weren't kidnapped."
"huh?"
Robin turned, pulling out something from his utility belt. He put his closed fist above the table; He opened, letting go of some rocks and crystals. They fell, almost hitting the table, before stopping in mid air.
The girl was staring, concentrating on them.
"So you and Jillian both had powers," impulse commented.
"Ya," The girl sighed, and the rocks dropped quietly onto the table.
"Jillian and I; when we discovered we could do it, we started practicing together. Don't get wrong, Jillian liked having powers," the girl said. "But she's not a fighter. Heck, she wanted to the school Peace Corp,"
"And you?" Robin asked.
"Me?" The girl's eyes widened. "Well, I don't mind them. The martial arts practice really helps."
"I see," Robin nodded. He started to get up, Impulse following his lead.
"We'll call you if anything comes up,"
"Wait!"
Robin and Impulse turned to the girl.
"I-I want to go with you guys," the girl stammered.
Impulse and Robin looked at each other, then to the girl.
"I don't think we can bring tourist's to our hideout," Impulse shrugged.
"Please; I want to help find Jillian," the girl pleaded.
"..." Robin was quiet for a moment.
"Alright,"
Both Impulse and the girl raised their eyebrows.
Robin turned to her.
"I'll get you in, but you must say and do everything I tell you; understand?"
The girl nodded nervously.
"Yes sir,"
Impulse gave him a look.
"Dude, what are you thinking?"
"It's fine," Robin whispered to him. "I got this."
Robin turned to the girl.
"Anyway, if your coming with us, we need your name," Robin stated.
"Oh, ya," The girl answered.
"My name's Terra. Terra Chow."
Miss Martian eye's glowed as she had one hand pressing her forehead, another against the unconscious girl's forehead.
Tigress looked on from another room, looking through a glass window.
Night walked up to her, looking into the glass.
"She's been in there for two hours," Artemis stated, "She said the girl was under some kind of mind control; As for her wounds, none were too bad. Physically, she'll be fine."
Miss Martian pulled her hand away from the girl's forehead, getting up and leaving the room. she gently shut the door behind her.
"I've cleared her mind of the mind control effects," Miss Martian turned to her team members. "It's as if too different people lived in her mind. She won't remember much of what happened while under mind control,"
"I see," Nightwing said.
"so, it she an enemy?" Tigress asked, as Nightwing turned away to take a call.
"No, I don't think so-"
"What?"
Miss Martian and Tigress turned to Nightwing, both raising a brow.
Nightwing grumbled into the phone, before giving a reluctant sigh.
"Fine," Nightwing said. "But make sure she doesn't discover anything,"
Miss Martian and Tigress turned to Nightwing,
"Who's 'her'?"
"Terra Chow," Nightwing said. "Robin said he's bringing her hear. He says he think's she in danger."
Suddenly, there was a loud moan from the other room; Miss Martian turned around to see the girl starting to get up.
The three walked into the room, Tigress and Nightwing standing behind Miss Martian, who sat in the chair.
The girl looked over from them, not having the strength to raise her head from her pillow
"X'shal Glurdulskletch-hh Koriand'r" The girl had a questioning tone.
The three of them raised a brow, before the girl took Miss Martian's hand. She closed her eyes and held it for a moment, before opening them again.
"My name is Koriand'r,"
