Chapter Twenty-Six: Huntress In Red

(I truly just really love Kelly Clarkson and congratulate her on her latest win on the Voice.)

"This girl doesn't look like a ghost," Bart says.

Miss.Martian and Beast Boy actually had to agree with him. From what they saw of Skulker and Ember, not to mention Clockwork, ghosts definitely looked different from her. They all had almost glowing auras around them and definitely did not have African-American skin.

This girl also seemed more angry than the needless chaos that ghosts cause when they attacked the city before from the stories Phantom and Siren told them. So that left them with the thought that she was possibly a mystic. A technopath was their first idea from the armor she had on her.

"I think there has been a bit of a mix-up," M'gann tried to calm the girl down.

"I've had it with you GIW cronies," the girl was seriously angry. "Your paranoia and continuous hunting have already chased away the only real heroes that this town ever had. I won't let you continuously ruin this world by with your ridiculous ideas that all ghosts and mystics are evil."

The three heroes immediately shared looks. She was obviously talking about Phantom and Siren. They were the only heroes that this realm had ever known outside of mythological heroes. Not that Hercules or King Arthur could hold a candle to a half-ghost teenager and a siren prince.

They did remember the twins always mentioning another person they left behind in Amity other than their sister. Her name escaped them and they weren't a hundred percent sure the two even mentioned her name. But she's definitely someone they were never going to forget again. Can you really ever forget a person that has tried to kill you? Probably not.

"Guys, you need to be careful," Jazz warned them. "She is very stubborn and doesn't really listen when she's fighting."

"You know Little-Miss-Trigger-Happy," Bart asked her.

Before the telepath could answer, Red Huntress decided she was tired of waiting for them to make the first move. She dived toward them, launching a volley of her stinger laser beams. Almost like energy bullets.

Miss.Martian quickly flew out of the way. Beast Boy changed into a kangaroo and jumped out of their path. Impulse, of course, had the easiest time running from the lasers.

"A shapeshifter, a kid with super speed, and a flying green girl," the girl muttered. "Those agents must be really stepping up their recruitment programs."

"We are not a part of the Guys In White," Bart yelled at her.

The girl scoffed in response.

"Been there, heard that, been attempted to be stabbed in the back by them," she said.

"This girl must get around as much as Phantom and Siren," Bart said through the link.

"IMPULSE," the rest of the team yelled at him.

"Ow," Jazz held her head. "Easy on the yelling. I'm not used to having other people talking in my head. Just because I can take a peek into another person's skull doesn't mean I hear things like this."

"Sorry, Jazz," Nightwing apologized for the team.

Red Huntress decided Impulse was the biggest threat because of his speed. She dived down toward him and launched several energy rings from her hoverboard. As Impulse raced up and down buildings and walls, they exploded when they made contact with anything and everything.

"Where does she even get this stuff," Gar asked over the link.

"Trust me, you do not want to know how she got started," Jazz stated.
