Chapter Ten: Another Mystic

The team was in the bio-ship, flying in silence. Phantom and Siren were both practically radiating with anger and annoyance. Not even Cyborg dared to say anything to them. The trip was so silent that they could hear a feather drop. Impulse and Beast Boy had tried to have a conversation, but it quickly fizzled out because of the awkwardness in the air. The mission had the team consisting of Nightwing, , Superboy, Aqualad, Impulse, Cyborg, Beast Boy, Robin, Phantom, and Gold Siren. Phantom and Siren were at the back of the seating arrangements on the bio-ship.

After a year on the team, both had decided to change how they look for their hero forms.

Phantom had never felt comfortable in his hazmat suit in the first place. He changed to a black hooded cloak, with his DP symbol on the back, that matches his black and white jacket he has under it. The jacket also had ghostly green trim. He also wore black pants that went with his white boots with green laces.

Siren had previously worn just a simple vest, jeans, gloves, boots, and t-shirt for his hero outfit. Now he wears a white jean jacket, with the sleeves rolled to his elbows, over a gold t-shirt with a music pattern. He also had his same gold fingerless gloves. He wore white jeans with gold trim that went with his gold and white boots.

Both boys still had their same hairstyles as well as having their pendants around their necks.

As they approached Santa Prisca, they prepared for the mission. They flew down near the water to remain below the radar.

"Phantom, Siren."

The brothers turned from the windows they were staring out of.

"Are you two okay," M'gann asked.

"We're fine," White stated, though the looks on everyone's faces said that they didn't believe him. "Can we just get on with the mission?"

The rest of the team shared a slight look. Especially Nightwing, Superboy, and Aqualad. They knew full well why the twins looked like someone had kicked their puppy and they wanted to kill that person. Or, in this case, people.

"We're approaching Santa Prisca now," Dick said, the island coming into view. "Phantom, use your..."

He stopped when Phantom was already doing exactly what he was about to tell him to do. The halfa put his hands on the bio-ship wall, a blue glow admitting from the contact. The bio-ship, and everyone inside of it, all went invisible.

It had not taken long for the team to realize just how different 's camouflage was to Phantom's invisibility and intangibility. People like Sportsmaster or Vandal Savage could see the distortion in the air when camouflaged people or things moved. But with invisibility, there was nothing to see. Not even air movement. Siren liked to joke around and say how magic makes science look like it's from the 1700 century. Recon missions had definitely been more successful since discovering how Phantom could make the bio-ship invisible and intangible.

"Beta squad, get ready," Dick ordered.

Siren, Beast Boy, and Aqualad all switched to stealth mode. Superboy never had stealth tech, often with his signature line of "no capes, no tights, no offense." Nothing was ever said how neither Phantom or Siren wore a cape or tights. And no, the cloak that Phantom wears does not count as a cape.

"M'gann, link us up," Dick told the alien girl.

Her eyes glowed green for a second.

"Everyone online," she asked over the link.

"Nope," Conner responded.

The team looked over at the twins. It was not a secret that the two needed to often shield their minds. Phantom, because he used meditation and keeping his mind closed kept ghosts from trying to overshadow him. Siren, because he was shielding himself from the thoughts of others with his reading hearts ability acting up from time to time.
