The heroes looked stunned. "What the heck just happened?" Nightwing muttered to himself. He had never seen something like this before. He was astonished to see a normal person suddenly transform into a superhero by shooting herself in the head.
"You're in my way…" Jemma growled and with two swift movements the vines all around were shredded to confetti. Poison Ivy clenched her fist and summoned more of her "babies."
"Superboy! Go take care of the robot while Ivy is busy." Miss Martian shouted out as she used her psychic powers to crush the plants. She glared at Jemma intently. She hated how Flash had flirted Jemma. Miss Martian was Flash number one girl and she would not let anyone take her place.
"You don't have to tell me what I already know." Superboy jumped up and smashed the giant robot down. Poison Ivy, Two-face, and Toyman tumbled off the robot as it crumbled to the ground.
"I got this!" Flash grinned as he speeded towards the villains with a rope in his hand, but before he could reach them, two arrows were shot and entrapped the villains in a net.
"You mean we got this." Nightwing scoffed at the superheroes' frustration. Out of nowhere, the Toyman began to chuckle. "What's so funny?" Nightwing glared.
"You think this is over? Not even close! I put a self-destruct bomb the robot. The bomb could blow up a part of this town," His plastic looking eyes gleamed with excitement. "I'm the only one that can stop it so if you don't let us go the whole town will go BOOM!"
"You son of a -" Nightwing growled and raised his fist.
"Calm down, we're not going to get answers if we just beat him." Red Arrow grabbed Nightwing's arm, preventing him from injuring Toyman. Nightwing scowled and jerked his arm out of Red Arrow's grasp.
"Heh, you don't even know what you're doing. We'll interrogate him." Superboy stepped forward, but was blocked by Red Arrow.
"Why interrogate him?" Jemma stood beside the robot as she watched the tension between the heroes rise. "Why not just eliminate the entire thing?" She smirked.
"Hey! We don't know what mi-" Nightwing shouted, but Jemma quickly sliced up the robot. They could only see streaks of black as she shredded into pieces, to the point where it looked like pixie dust. "What the hell are you doing!?" Dick pushed the others aside and confronted Jemma. "You might of set the thing off! How could you do something so reckless!?" He growled.
"At least I had the balls to do something about it, while you guys were just busy arguing with each other like little kids." She glared then turned around and began to walk away.
"Ooo I like her," Flash grinned. He quickly stood in front of Jemma, blocking her way. "So why don't you join our League of Superheroes?"
"I agree. We could use a girl like you." Superboy smiled, but Miss Martian frowned.
"We don't need her. She'd probably just be dead weight on our team." She growled then quickly grabbed Flash's arm and held him close.
"No way, she should join the NSH." Artemis intervened. "She's a normal hero too. Those powers don't seem to belong to her, but to those keys. So the keys are the superpowerd ones."
"Take away the keys and she's a normal hero just like us." Red Arrow added. "Say something Nightwing?"
Nightwing looked away and snorted. "Whether she joins a team or not makes no difference." Red Arrow elbowed Nightwing in the abdomen then sighed.
"I have no interest in your wanna-be-hero club," Jemma's outfit had turned back to normal and it seemed like her powers were gone for the moment. "I have more important things to worry about." She walked away towards her bike.
"Miss Martian, Flash, clean up the mess around here. I'll go tell Superman about a new recruit that he might be interested in." Superboy grinned then went off back to the League of Superheroes.
"You guys head back to NSH. I'll be taking these scumbags to Arkham Asylum." Dick grabbed the net and dragged it away.
"Hey Nightwing, we can come and help, you know." Red Arrow stood in front off Nightwing and offered a hand.
"I'm fine on my own." Nightwing ignored Red Arrow's hand and walked past him. Red Arrow sighed then scratched the back of his head.
"You should know best. Nightwing likes being a lone wolf." Artemis patted Red Arrow on the back. "Hey, let's go tell Batman about that girl. He might be able to get her to join the NSH." Red Arrow smiled then ruffled Artemis's hair.
Jemma drove off, wondering where should she stop for a nap. She had wanted to avoided trouble and chaos. She wanted to be alone. That way no one would be hurt. Anyone who came near her would eventually get killed and she didn't want to bear the weight of innocent casualties.
It's been a while since I've been out to play. You should let me out more often.
"Shut up!" She shouted. Sorrow had begun speaking to her inside her head. "You're lucky I let you out in the first place." She growled.
No need to shout. I was just bored being cooped up inside your body for so long.
"It's not like I want you guys inside me either." She sighed. She needed to find a place to sleep. She knew that the weaker her mind and body were the easier the guardians within her could take over.
There is a small wooded area up ahead. You could camp there if you'd like.
"Thanks, Madness. At least someone is useful." Out of the four guardians, Madness seemed the kindest and sanest, though it was contradictory to his name. Sorrow always had an attitude, complaining and often criticizing what she did. Pain was constantly pessimistic and a major masochist. But she was able to handle them. The only one she couldn't control very well was Death. He was uncontrollable, doing what he desired no matter what the cost or dangers.
She arrived at the small woods and found and open space to rest. She was too anxious and frustrated to sleep. She just sat on the floor and quietly meditated. She had learned this from Master Ra's al Ghul and was told that it would make her troubles go away. Of course, she never believed it, but she did find relaxing and mind clearing properties in meditation.
"You should come out now," She mumbled during her meditation. A man with a large grey trench coat with a bat symbol in the middle came out from the shadows. His visor along with his high collar blocked most of his face. "How long were you following me?"
"You're pretty good to have noticed me," The man smiled then came towards her. "I have a proposition for you."
