The whole team is in the bioship, including me, as we fly to Santa Prisca. It's been a few days, and my injury from Mr. Twister has healed greatly, but not well enough for me to be able to fly as long as we are right now, especially at night. It's silent in the ship, enough so that my mind keeps going to my memories. In an attempt to escape them, I look out the window, over the ocean far below. An icy chill runs up my spine as I stare down at the midnight, watery depths below. "We're approaching Santa Prisca." M'gann's voice brings me back to reality, and I shake my head.
We were assigned to investigate the Isle Santa Prisca, due to the fact that all shipments of a neurosteroid by the name Venom, a strength enhancing drug sold under the streets, has been cut off, while the factory is still working at full capacity. We are to observe and report, as per Batman's orders.
"Drop zone A in 30." M'gann states. Kaldur stands up, his seat melting back into the floor. He presses the Atlentian symbol on his belt, and his suit turns to night camo mode, or at least that's what I was told it is called. I'm in my usual clothes still. Thankfully for me, they are already considered night camouflage.
"Ready." Aqualad says. "Putting bioship in camouflage mode." Miss M states. We fly closer the the waters, and Kaldur'ahm dives through a hole in the floor of the ship. Thankfully, none of the water got in the ship.
Within minutes, we all hear his voice through the communication links we were given. "Heat and motion sensors are patched. Data is now on a continuous loop. Move in." He tells us. We fly forward, stopping above a small clearing within the trees. "Drop zone B." M'gann states. Everyone stands up. Clips come down from the ceiling for Robin and Kid Flash, and they hook them to their belts. KF presses the symbol on his chest, and he's instantly decked out in night camo as well.
"How cool is this?" He asks, turning to look at M'gann. He is such a flirt. "Very impressive." She replies, closing her eyes. From her boots up, she is covered in her own night suit within seconds. "Uh, that works too. Hey, Dracona. What about your white hair?" he asks me. "It's already in a braid." I answer, placing the hood over my head. "OK. Hey, Supey, not too late to put on the new stealth tech." He turns to Superboy. "No capes, no tights. No offense." He states, crossing his arms. "It totally works for you..." M'gann says dreamily. He turns to look at her.
"...In that you can totally do good work in those clothes." She fixes, giving a thumbs up. He just stares at her before looking forwards again. Embarrassed, Miss M pulls her hood over her head, going into camouflage mode.
A hole opens up in the floor once again, and Robin, KF, and Megan jump out first. Once they're on the ground, Superboy jumps straight down, almost hitting them as they move to get out of the way. I roll my eyes, heading down after him, using my cloak as a makeshift parachute. At least, that's what I think they're called.
"Knew I didn't need a line." Superboy states, smirking. "And yet, creating a seismic event may not have helped us much with the covert." Robin comebacks. Miss Martian flies back down to the ground, talking to Aqualad through the comp. "Aqualad, drop B is go." 'Head for the factory. I'll track your GPS and rendevous ASAP.' We hear him say. "Roger that." Robin says, showing us a map on his holo-computer thing in his glove. Seriously, some of the things in the human world are so strange. A bad feeling comes over me, and I stop walking, holding my head.
"Dracona, what's wrong?" Miss M asks, noticing me. "Something bad is about to happen, I can feel it." I state, taking my cloak off and snapping my wings out. I take off from the ground and hover above the others. "Keep moving. I'll be right behind with Aqualad in tow." I tell them, going to fly off. "Dracona to Aqualad. Where are you? State your coordinates." I say, pressing my comp. 'I'm coming, Dracona. Get back with the others.' He tells me. "Just tell me where you are." I say.
'I'm at the edge of a cliff climbing up.' He tells me. I look down, and sure enough I see him reaching the top of the cliff. "I see you. Get ready to jump up." I say, going to swoop down. 'Why-' He's cut off by a loud roar, and turns to see two jaguars stalking towards him, out from behind the trees.
Just as they're about to pounce on him, I yell over the wind, "Jump!" He does as told, arms sticking high in the air, and I grab onto both his arms before pulling us up higher into the sky. Both jaguars roar in irritation as we fly further away from the cliff. "Thank you for the save," He tells me, looking up as I look down, "But how did you know that the jaguars would be there?" He asks. "It's just a feeling I have." I say.
"Superboy, Kid," He calls through the comp., "Switch to inferred. See if you're being tracked." 'Got a squad of armed bozos incoming.' 'Two squads. But they'll meet each other before they find us.' Wally, then Superboy states. Both Aqualad and I hear gunshots. "Swing wide, steer clear." he tells them. 'Y-yeah, just as soon as I find Rob.' Kid says. "Kid, Robin can take care of himself. He's the protege of Batman for goodness sake." I say, setting Kaldur down on the ground, and we start running to where we hear the gunshots.
When we get there, the team is already fighting the two squads. "You told me I could only read the bad guys' minds." I hear M'gann say. We notice two guys getting away. Aqualad jumps down in front of them and zaps one unconscious, while I jump from a tree branch and knock the other one out with my heel. He steps on the guns, breaking them instantly.
(A.N.: Hey everyone. So glad I got another chapter done. I'm glad that everyone likes it. Also, if you see any grammar errors or anything wrong, please let me know in the comments. It would be greatly appreciated.)
