The New Members

Chapter 13

Red Mistress's P.O.V.

I went to the one place they wouldn't suspect; The Watchtower: Headquarters of The Justice League.

First I zetaed back home and grabbed my motorcycle before zooming to the Hall of Justice in D.C. Once there I caught a zetabeam to the tower.

"Red Mistress B13." the computor announced as I entered the league's HQ.

I raced through the halls to find my parents. Finally I saw Dinah and Oliver sitting with Superman and Hawkgirl in front of a computor screen.

They looked up as I burst into the room.

"Mom, Dad, can we talk. In private."

Oliver and Dinah exchanged glances before following me down the hall where we stopped at an empty room.

"What's wrong?" Dinah asked worried.

I took a deep breath. "It's about Jason."

***************************

"Does Bats know?"

"I think so but I'm not sure. I think Nightwing might have told him. But I can't go back. Please can I stay here?"

"I dont know if Bat-"

"Please! I couldn't stand facing them again! Not after I fled like a coward!" I pleaded.

"You're not a coward. I would have dont the same thing." Dinah said placing a hand on my shoulder.

"We'll talk to Bats and the others. Maybe we can get them to agree." Oliver said.

I sighed in relief.

"For now, just stick to the lounge okay?"

I nodded. I watched as they walked back to Superman and Hawkgirl before turning down the hall towards the lounge.

I collapsed on the couch and grabbed the TV remote.

"The Red Hood was spotted in downtown Gotham earlier tonight with five cloaked figures chasing him with weapons. Here is a video of their fight."

I watched as Red Hood attacked one of the figures. He attempted to punch him but was punched and pushed into a wall instead. The second figure took out a knife and charged Red Hood. Hood tried to block his attack and was slightly sucsessful but was stabbed in the arm. He fell clutching his arm as the other assasins closed in around him.

Hood squirmed as his face was smashed into the ground. His body went limp as he collapsed.

The assasins fled as Midnight dropped out of nowhere.

"What is up with Red Hood? Is there something on his mind and who is his strange acommplice?" the newscaster questioned as the video ended. "More on the matter coming up next."

I sighed and turned off the TV.

"Well that's rude. We were watching that."
