BARRY tapped his fingers on his knees as he watched the clouds cover the city below him.
"So... whose necklace is that?" He asked, turning to face Bruce, who sat across from him. Bruce blinked, averting his gaze from the window to meet Barry's.
"What do you mean?" Barry gestured to the necklace Bruce was holding in his hand.
"It was given to me by a friend."
"Is this friend a member of this team you were talking about?" Bruce gave Barry a small glare, causing him to bite his lower lip. With a nervous smile, he waved his hands back and forth. "Sorry, I'm prying."
Bruce let out a sigh. "Yes, she is." Barry nodded, unable to contain his curiosity. Knowing he needed more, Bruce continued. "Her name is Jessica."
"What's her powers?"
"She doesn't have any, not anymore."

TAPPING her fingers against the desk, Jess looked at the monitor.
"I was there that day." She mumbled. "His mother was D.O.A but Victor was a fighter."
Diana tossed Jessica the jacket Alfred handed her. "Come on."
She looked at the blue jacket in confusion. "Why?"
"Because you need to get out of this cave."
Jess huffed while tossing the jacket on. Diana grabbed her hand, dragging her over towards the elevator in the cave. "Goodbye, Madam Kent, be respectful on your playdate." Alfred teased while tinkering with the gauntlet.
"Ha, ha." She grumbled towards Alfred as the doors closed. "Why do I even need to come? I don't see a point. You're better at talking to people than me."
"Don't sell yourself, Princess." Diana smiled as she looked down at her phone. "Bruce has Barry; once we talk with the Cyborg, we'll meet him at the airport." Jess crossed her arms as she exited the elevator and walked to the front of the mansion.
"He probably won't want to see me. He's going to blame his mother's death on me."
"You need to stop thinking in such negative ways." Diana sighed once more. They got into the car as Jess typed in the address given to them by Victor. "How can I not?" Jess shrugged. "I may believe in humanity but that doesn't mean they turned people cold."
"But you aren't like every other person." Diana argued. "You make people see the best in themselves, better than I ever could."
Jess shook her head, looking back out the window. The car was filled with silence from the two women. Jess was tired of the therapy sessions from both Bruce and Diana. She hated talking about her feelings, she'd rather keep it all to herself and cry in the shower to get it all out. Although not a healthy solution, it was better than constantly getting the same speech about how mental health was important.
