"What do I get out of it?" Leila asked as she looked up from her book in the library to the three Justice League members standing there. "I'll increase your allowance" Bruce bargained "I can make fifty million in a night you'll have to do better" Leila smirked as she leaned back in the chair she was sitting in "You'll be doing good? Getting better karma" Clark tried and Leila just shook her head

"Can't you just do the right thing instead of being selfish and greedy?" Oliver snapped and Jason stood up from the upper level of the library. "No, I'm not selfish. Everything I have done in my life has been to protect those I love and the innocent. I would sit there being tortured for days on end by my own Mother because I refused to kill a five year old when I was merely nine myself, I would make up excuses for when Damian didn't complete his missions claiming I interfered in a way and I would be beaten half to death, I didn't see my daughter for six months and was beaten daily all because I helped Jason. You don't get to call me selfish, not when you haven't endured a single second of what I have" Leila spat as she stood up and got in Oliver's face

"Watch yourself" Oliver warned "Try me old man, I could take you down in seconds" Leila threatened as she stepped closer. Oliver tried to knock her feet out from under her only for her to knock him backwards onto his ass and have her dagger at his throat in a second. "I don't make empty threats" Leila shot out as Jason finally came down

"Leila, calm down" Jason reasoned to the girl who's eyes were glowing in rage. "What's the case for?" Jason asked Bruce "They're getting information on a human trafficking organization" Bruce informed Jason "Tell Dick I'll be downstairs ready to go at three and he better be there" Leila spat as she stormed out of the library.

"Shoulda started with the human trafficking, she's seen it first hand and hates it" Jason shook his head "What do you mean first hand?" Clark asked as Oliver stood up "Its not my story but I'll tell you this, she's only sixteen yet she's experienced more cruelty then all of us combined" Jason explained as he picked up the book Leila was reading and followed her out of the library

"Ready?" Nightwing asked Leila as she nodded and sealed her mask to her face "Wait, do you have an alias?" Nightwing asked "Naeva" Naeva said shortly as she looked at Red Robin who had been preparing the zeta tube to let her through. "We're ready" Red Robin told them as Naeva pulled her hood up and begrudgingly took the domino mask from Nightwing and set it on her face.

"Remember the rules, no killing, no critically injuring and no civilian identities" Nightwing reminded as they stepped up to the zeta tubes "Yup" Naeva replied popping the p as they were sucked away. Naeva arrived first the team immediately getting into defensive stances as Naeva simply leaned against the wall as Nightwing and Red Robin arrived.

"Wing, wanna call off your dogs" Naeva drawled as she held up her pistol "See the safety's on" Naeva spoke slowly like she was talking to a child. "Who is she?" L'gann demanded "Your guide to the Middle East, saltwater" Naeva remarked as she spun the gun back into its holster for show.

"Who even is she?" Artemis asked "Doesn't matter, I'm here for the victims of those trades not for any of you. Don't expect sunshine from me"  Naeva shrugged as she looked at Nightwing "I respect that" Artemis nodded and Naeva smirked "Tell Batman I like that one" Naeva told Nightwing

"Where's the jet? I need to see it before I fly it" Naeva asked Nightwing and Red Robin "This way" Red Robin motioned for her to follow him. The team watched her suspiciously "She seems odd and sorta rude" Wondergirl commented "She's just really Gotham" Artemis laughed at their sensitivity "Shes not even from Gotham but she really fits in with Gothamites" Nightwing agreed as the others just looked confused

"Okay Wing, you guys ready? If we wanna get there in time then we gotta get out of here" Naeva asked as she checked her gauntlet for the time. "I think we're all ready? You know how to fly that model, Red and I couldn't figure it out" Nightwing checked "It would be concerning if I didn't" Naeva laughed as she turned back around and froze listening for something "Someone left a tap on" Naeva told Nightwing before continuing on her way.
