Chapter 3

"Master, I have completed the mission," Cr reported monotonously. "All shipments have been safely transported to B01," Luthor nodded half-heartedly.

"Good. I have a….. It's not exactly a mission, but I want you to do this for me. Consider it an errand." Cr's eyes narrowed.

"What is it?" Luthor grinned.

"Soon, a plan will be set in motion to protect the identity of the organization you and I are loyal to." Cr frowned at this, wanting to interrupt, but remained silent. "I need you to check on somebody, a few somebodies, actually, and give me a report of their current situation."

"When will you need this report by, master?" She questioned.

"I need it before the plan is set in motion. Which is as soon as possible. I will send you the coordinates to your communications device as soon as I get the chance. When you receive these, I expect you to leave immediately and to give me that report." Cr had been given a wrist communicator that, as soon as it was hooked up, hanked into whatever needed hacking. It also transferred information between the servant and master.

"Of course, master." Cr responded, turning away to leave.

"Oh and Cr," Cr paused. "Don't get attached, don't get caught, and don't be heroic. I need your assistance in the future. It would be ashamed to lose such a good slave." Cr continued walking.

"Of course, master."

Cr was walking down the street when an urge hit her. For some reason, she felt as though she was missing somebody. In the past couple of weeks she's been with her new master, she's only felt it when she was trying to go to sleep. Never while trying to complete a mission. Well, sort of mission.

Currently, she was on her way to a mountain in Happy Harbour, walking along the highway. A pathetic name for a pathetic town. Luthor had sent her coordinations hours ago, but since she did not want to intrude on her master, she decided to find a way there on her own. A honking noise made her cautiously turn around. There was a vehicle slowing down beside her. The window rolled down to reveal a pair of boys looking like they were in their mid 20s.

"Hey, do you need a ride? Where are you going?" Cr looked curiously at them.

"Happy Harbour. I need no assistance. I thank you for the offer." The guys glance at each other.

"Are you sure?" The one behind the wheel with striking brown eyes asks warily, as if he doesn't seem to believe her answer. "Happy Harbour is a couple of miles away. Where are you coming from?"

"I am coming from Metropolis." The brunette with sunglasses riding in the passenger seat whistled.

"That's a long ways away. Are you absolutely sure you don't want to get there faster? Safer?" He looked genuinely concerned, but Cr was still cautious. She was silent for a moment, thinking. She did want to get there faster, but she wanted to be able to prove that she can do things for herself. Well, who needed to know? Cr nodded.

"I would like to thank you for your offer, you are the most polite people I've ever met. I would like to join you, if that's all right." The pair smiled and the blonde driver pointed with his thumb to the backseat.

"You can ride back here. I hope that's okay with you," Cr smiled politely, opening the car door and putting on her seat belt. They were soon back on the road. The trio rode in awkward silence before the brunette broke it.

"I'm Harold, by the way, this is Kyle," The driver quickly glanced behind him, catching her eye for a milisecond before paying attention to the road once again, waving slightly. "What's your name?" Cr blinked, pulse picking up speed. What was she going to say? People don't usually have elements as names. She's wasting too much time. They're getting suspicious! She panicked internally. Outwardly, she remained a calm, blank look.

"I'm Caroline." Seriously. Caroline. Really? The two in the front didn't seem to notice her struggling to keep calm.

"I like it, it's a pretty name."

"Thank you,"

Silence strikes again. Why couldn't they have given me more social skills instead of pouring superhero genes into me?!

"So, how old are you?" Oh, come on. She glanced at her reflection before answering 17. Hopefully they would buy it. Maybe she should've done 15 or 16. Cr winced slightly. She needed to practice her lying skills. In her worrying, she didn't notice Harold frown.

"17?" Her eyes widened ever so slightly before becoming their normal size again, her heart invisibly beating faster than a horse's hooves hitting the ground while galloping. "You aren't a runaway, are you?" She let out a small sigh.

"Um, no, my…. Step-father just wanted me to visit my biological father before he lost custody." Where the frick frack did that bullcorn come from?

"Oh." Harold's eyes widened, glancing at Kyle, who was looking just as surprised. "And he didn't give you a ride or anything? What about your mom?" She winced, thinking that her lies are going to become so massive, she's going to lose track, gaining suspicion and getting set to the authorities, or worse, Cadmus. Harold, however, misinterpreted the wince as a sign that their hitchhiker didn't want to talk about her personal life anymore. "Sorry for prying. I didn't mean to cause offense, I mean, why would you want to talk about your life to a couple of strangers you met a little while ago," Cr let out a small smile, but before she could respond, Kyle cut in.

"We're here!" Cr looked at him, startled. "Is there anywhere specific you need to be? We're not in a rush, so we can drive you to your dad's place if you want to." Cr shook her head, trying not to seem frantic.

"Um, no, that's okay, I can walk from here." Which was true, considering she could see the mountain pretty well from where she was. She was soon back on the streets, walking without thought. That feeling in that back of her head eventually went away, almost as soon as she reached the place she was supposed to be. Cr frowned. There was nothing here. She called her master, just to make sure she was at the right spot.

"Yes, you fool, the location is a mountain in Happy Harbour. It's the base for the Justice League's brats. Since you seem a little too comfortable, I'm going to make this a mission." Cr straightened up immediately, awaiting instructions. "You are to retrieve all information that this team has about any villainous organization, confirmed or not. You will report the team's status regarding trust and work. See how they interact with each other. You will use any means necessary to get all of this information and not get caught with it. If you are caught, make sure they do not find out who you work for or what you were there to do. If they do, don't bother coming back to me. Go straight back to where I got you." Cr stiffened.

"Yes, master." And she hung up. She let out a shaky breath and forced her dormant powers to awaken. She will not go back there. Cr resisted screaming, locking her jaw. She fell to her hands and knees, her violently shaking legs not strong enough to hold her any longer. A shock went up both her legs and arms, originating from her knee caps and palms. Her veins felt as though they were on fire, her throat burning, feeling as if somebody has cut millions of miniscule cuts up and down it. Her eyes puffed up, turning pink, leaking salty tears. After a few minutes, it became bearable and she stopped trembling so hard. She unclenched her jaw and began panting heavily. She was not going back.

Cr decided that her legs still weren't strong enough to hold her and tried to levitate. She felt a small prick at the base of her skull, but was able to do it. Alright, she thought to herself. Time to get what I need.

Okay, I'm getting seriously anxious. Do you people even like this story?! This is driving me insane. Nobody is telling me if it's any good! I think you guys should know that I suffer from extreme anxiety. THIS IS GIVING ME PANIC ATTACKS. I know, I care way too much, but I can't help it! Is this any good? Is it trash? Is it garbage? Is it the special kind of trash that deserves to be burning in hell? Or is the special trash that gets put in the recycling? Who should I pair Cr with? What about Co? Oh, before I forget, I was going to make Cr bisexual and flirting with the chicks on the team and have Co become a cute shy gay. But he's only shy around guys that he likes. He's a tough badass with people he doesn't like. And he's chill with guys he just sees as friends. What do you guys think? I have no idea. I know people are reading this! Unless this website is lying to me... I literally write for reviews right now.
