Fair warning, for those who recognize her, I did not create her, I'm just borrowing her and fitting her into my universe. Hope you all don't hate me for it.

"Thank you, sir." Mika blinked wide eyed at the papers in her hands.

"You're one of the brightest minds of this new generation. I am surprised that you weren't given other offers after settling here at Star Labs." Bruce Wayne gave her a suave smile.

"This is," Mika breathed and looked up at him. "I-I don't think I could take this offer, that's way too much money." She gently laid the papers on the desk in front of her.

He gave her a smirk before setting a rectangular box on the table that had a red button in the center. He pressed the button. "This an electrical disrupter. If there are bugs placed around here or if any one is attempting to listen in it will scramble their systems."

"So this isn't just Bruce Wayne offering a minor a cushy job at Wayne Tech." Mika raised an eyebrow.

He frowned at her. "You and I both know who I am when I'm not at the office."

"Of course, Dark Knight of Gotham." Mika leaned back in her seat. "There is more to the fact that I am part of the 'brightest minds of my generation'. If I were to venture a guess, you'll want me to help build you and Robin tech?"

"It is optional, but you would be paid enough to compensate for taking away from your other projects." He tapped the paper. "The numbers don't lie. You will be working directly with Lucius with any Bat tech. You'll get your own lab that will have a working Zeta tube, plus, a group of interns that will help with your other endeavors."

"I get groupies?" Her eyes were huge.

"I doubt that they would like to be called that, but essentially yes." Bruce shrugged leaning away from the desk.

She breathed in and held it for a moment before letting out. "I'm guessing, I can't let the team know about this as well?"

He shrugged once more, "That is up to your discretion. I will trust whatever you choose to do, as you know them best."

Mika swallowed and looked down at the paper for a moment. This was going to complicate things further. She closed her eyes in defeat, "Where do I sign?"

He moved forward and pressed the button on his scrambler with a smile. "Right here, and here. Initials here, and a full signature at the bottom. Don't worry about your work here. I'll have it moved by the end of the week. The transportation will be up and running at that time as well."

"Very well." Mika signed the papers in front of her. "It was nice doing business with you, Mr. Wayne. I will see your facilities in a week." She reached forward and shook his hand.

"So Bruce Wayne personally offered you a place at Wayne Tech?" Kakashi folded his arms over his chest looking down at Mika. "And not to any of his sites, but the one in Gotham City? Am I missing anything?"

"Just the part where she told him yes." Sakura crossed her arms in front of her chest at the table where Sasuke pushed his bowl of cereal away from him.

"Did I miss something? I thought we didn't trust Batboy?" Naruto scowled at her placing his spoon into the bowl a little bit more forcefully than what was necessary and chipped the top of the bowl.

"We don't, not yet. He knows we don't trust him, I'm guessing this is a way of offering an olive branch." Mika sighed slipping into her seat and pulled an empty bowl towards herself.

"I see that he has only offered an olive branch to the only 'human' part of our team up." Sakura glared down at the floating cheerios in her bowl.

"That's not true." Mika shook her head and reached for the box of Lucky Charms, "If you haven't noticed that one of the grants you managed to get for this up coming semester is from Wayne Tech. He has written Letters of Recommendation for each of the schools Naruto has applied for. As far as I know, he has also put financial backing to Sasuke's name. There is lots of talk from some of the local college basket ball teams thinking about recruiting him for their team. This will give him, even more, backing to get on a professional team. I also heard that Wayne Tech has bought shares in the publishing company Kakashi is going through right now."

"You're kidding," Sakura asked wide eyed as Kakashi took a seat next to Mika passing her the milk and a spoon.

"Turns out that the Batcave is connected with a lot of Wayne Tech Enterprises. I will be mentioning to him about keeping work and pleasure separate, it helps with keeping big secrets, you know?" Mika said as she poured a generous amount of milk in her bowl.

Sasuke let out a big sigh and dragged his bowl of cereal closer to him. "And here I thought I had impressed some of the coaches. Turns out I was wrong, kind of a kick straight into the ego."

"Well, your ego could use the hit. Any bigger and it wouldn't fit out the door." Sakura smirked at him before taking a bite of her cereal.

Sasuke flicked the contents of his spoon at her, only to miss and hit Naruto when she ducked down. "Oh come on!" Naruto wiped the soppy mess from his face with a pout.

"Sasuke, say you're sorry." Mika sighed and pointed her spoon at him with a look of disappointment on her face.

"Sorry Naruto meant to hit Sakura." He said with a smirk.

"Your words say you are, but your face says you aren't, asshole." Naruto flipped him the bird.

Mika sighed and put her head on the table. "Well, if you all are going to act like kids, Kakashi is the only one coming on the mission with me."

"Mission?" Naruto's head snapped her way. "What kind of mission?"

"It's a lot of Recon if we are lucky it might turn into a search and destroy mission. Who knows." Mika picked her head up off the table and picked her spoon up again. She ignored the curious stares from the others for about five bites, she swallowed and looked up at them. "Well, remember Santa Prisca?"

"Yeah?" Sakura asked eyebrows furrowed.

"We are going back there aren't we?" Kakashi asked taking another bite of his food.

"The Wasps picked up trace amounts of thermal readings that I'm pretty sure the Watch Tower missed, I'm guessing these are either underground factories or could be much more sinister in nature. Also, they were bringing in more supplies than was needed to make their version of Venom. We are going back to check out the multiple sights, figure out what is going on down there. Depending on what it is, we will either shut it down or blow it up. Whichever works."

"No reporting it to the League?" Sakura's eyebrow raised.

"This is Team Seven's mission, not League sanctified. After we do a clean sweep of Santa Prisca, could take a couple of days, just so you know. We will take Cadmus." Mika settled back into her seat with a smile.

"Batman knows about the Santa Prisca mission doesn't he?" Kakashi asked finishing off his cereal.

Mika deflated, "Unfortunately, yes, he does know. He didn't want to send the others, they aren't used to stealth missions, well except Robin, but none of them are as skilled as the four of you when things actually go right."

"Plus, we aren't as well known with no attachments to any of the Justice League Members, that way if we get caught they don't start an international incident with the UN." Kakashi picked up his dishes. "Batman may be rude, but he's got a brain rattling around in that head of his."

"I think you just respect how paranoid he is." Mika laughed, "He is almost on par with you."

The others laughed as Kakashi hummed a smile back at them.

"So how are we getting there?" Sakura asked pulling on her black gloves.

Mika placed her mask over her eyes. "You can walk on water can't you?" She looked over her shoulder with a smirk.

Sakura scowled.

"If we have to run all the way there, we will be mostly out of Chakra, by the time we get there." Sasuke frowned walking into the living room while placing his mask on his face.

"Don't get your panties in a twist. We will Zeta to Florida first and rent a boat there. Easy Peasy. Though my next project will be our own awesome mode of transport, any suggestions?" She turned around to face the rest of Team Seven with a bright smile.

"Anything but teleportation," Naruto whined, already looking green in the face from the thought of using the Zeta-tubes again.

"You aren't staying with the boat?" Sakura asked watching Mika unleash her wasps once again, ten this time.

"And bring attention to it?" Mika asked bringing up small holo-screens on both of her forearms, ten in total. "No thank you. We are supposed to be covert, stealthy, you know?"

"Which is why you're supposed to stay with the boat." Sasuke sighed as he tugged on the reinforced gloves that Mika had just finished making the week before.

"Which is why I don't stay with the boat." She said rolling her eyes. "If it makes you feel better I'll be in a nearby tree or bush. Hiding in the boat is just asking to be found." Mika walked away from the boat that Sakura had placed under a Genjutsu. "Besides, if they have cameras of any kind they'll see through the Genjutsu. If I'm not to be found with the boat then, they don't have anyone to interrogate."

"The coast is clear, no residual energy signatures either." Naruto dropped down from a tree next to Sakura. He ducked down under a powerful punch that she threw at him in response. "Seriously?" He narrowed his eyes at her, the orange on his eyelids and his horizontal pupils made the look a lot more menacing.

"Don't sneak up on me, and put on your mask." Sakura pursed her lips and folded her arms over her chest.

Naruto rolled his eyes and walked over to Mika putting on his mask on the way. "This part of the island hasn't seen any activity for at least a month."

"That long?" Mika looked up at him with wide eyes. "I truly wish that meant that we were safe over here, but considering that we don't exactly know who we are dealing with, we can't exactly say that with absolute certainty."

"Okay, then plans?" Sasuke moved to look over Mika's shoulder at a single screen. "Those look like heat signatures."

"Brilliant deduction, genius," Mika smirked at him and enlarged the screen he had been pointing at. "There are actually several of these located on the island front, much closer to the shore than the factory was." She swiveled the screen to display horizontally from the ground below them. "From these angles, doesn't it look like pipes?" She pressed a couple of buttons on her wrist bands before drawing light red lines over major heat veins.

"What would cause that?" Sakura pushed Naruto over to get a good look at the screen.

"Could have just asked nicely." Naruto pouted, folding his arms over his chest.

Sakura stuck her tongue out at him.

"Super heated water traveling through tubes underground?" Kakashi guessed stepping into the circle they were making around Mika.

"Aprocemently twenty to thirty meters under ground-"

"Around six stories or more under ground?" Naruto interrupted Mika with wide eyes, "How on earth did the wasps pick it up if the Satelite didn't?"

Mika sighed, "I can explain it five times and it will still go over your head. The reason why my Wasps picked it up in the first place is mainly thanks to the magnetic propulsion system. These can scan about thirty meters down, that is the furthest they can go and that is why you can only see vague shapes." Mika pulled up another screen to lay next to the first one, "Plus, the Watchtower was only trained on the factory. Batman rescanned the entire island after seeing some of the footage my Wasps picked up. Their systems show that there might be more to the island on the side we are on, but it was hard to make out anything at all. That is why we are here." Mika drew more red lines on the second screen. "These are actually in two different places-"

"Thanks, Captain Obvious, we didn't notice the different flora around it." Sakura snarled and placed her hands on her hips.

"Hush, you." Mika threw a glare at her, "As I was saying, these are in two different locations that seem to be running to a certain point. There are more of these locations, but if they are pipes-"

"Where do they lead to?" Sasuke finished her question looking up from the holo-screens.

"Exactly." Mika shook out her arms erasing all the screens at once before bringing up another with a map of the island. She laid this one down flat as well and zoomed in on the island front where they were currently located. "I mapped out all the locations of these 'pipes'," She pressed a few buttons and red lines drew themselves on the map, from multiple directions they all seemed to lead to the exact same place.

"Either they are going to that location, or are coming from it." Sakura pointed to the converging lines. "My money's on going to it."

Mika looked up and nodded before drawing a circle around the center of the lines and zooming in even further, the circle stretching out as it went. "That looks big enough to hide a secret working facility, don't you think?"

"Did you send the Wasps to that area?" Sasuke asked.

"The first group, I lost all three of the five I had originally sent out. Two were far enough away from the epicenter of the radio jamming net that I didn't lose them. The other three had just barely made it to that location when their servers went down. Once I dismantled the Net, none of the three came back online. I don't think it was because they were discovered." Mika pushed the first screen over to bring up another one. "This is what the Watchtower discovered after rescanning the island." A large red dot glowed from the screen. Mika pulled the other map over the top of the other, the dot rested right in the middle of the circle. "I am merely assuming that this is the way in."

"That's the ridge Aqualad would have been required to climb over to regroup with the others." Naruto looked a bit wide eyed.

"Well shit." Sasuke sighed. "We have our work cut out for us."

"Good thing we have a human heat detector," Sakura smirked at Naruto.

He rolled his eyes, "I can't see heat signatures, we've gone over this at least ten times. I can only see energy signatures when I go into Sage Mode."

Sakura rolled her eyes, "That's basically the same thing." She cocked her hip with a smirk.

"I'm getting static interference on the Wasps."

"Well, we are getting static on our ends of the comms," Sakura muttered, she removed her hand from her throat.

"They probably have- over the area- likely not- able to commu- anymore." Mika's voice buzzed in broken phrases.

"We are going to have to go this alone." Kakashi landed on the branch next to her. "We will stay in pairs the entire time. When we find the entrance, we will split up and meet out of the radio net in an hour."

"Right. Surge and I will move on ahead." Naruto touched down on a branch above Kakashi and Sakura, Sasuke took a branch closer to them.

"Wait, Hydra, are you getting any energy signatures?" Kakashi stopped the two boys from taking off.

"Residual, mostly. They've been through here recently." Naruto reported dropping down to Kakashi's level.

"How recently?" Sakura asked with narrowed eyes moving next to the trunk to make room for Sasuke.

"Like within hours." He squinted at the area in front of him. "I'd say maybe an hour, two tops. Probably guards making rounds."

"Then they are likely due back any minute now." Sasuke sighed.

"Very likely." Kakashi nodded.

"Then should we still move in?" Naruto turned towards Kakashi.

Kakashi pressed his hand to his mask, "We are so lucky Aqualad didn't run into the patrols." He sighed and slid his fingers over his nose. "It's likely that we will need these guards to get into the entrance. We'll move in quietly, find the entrance and wait for them to return."

"Should we let Mika know the plan?" Sakura asked watching Naruto and Sasuke take off.

"She'll give us two hours after radio silence. If we don't contact her before then, she'll know that something went wrong." Kakashi tapped her shoulder and waved his hand out in front of them gesturing after Naruto and Sasuke who had disappeared from view. "Shall we?"

Sakura rolled her eyes and leaped to the next tree Kakashi a second behind her.

"That explains why there aren't any tire marks." Sasuke sighed watching a group of six men lead a hovering cargo cart with large crates resting on the surface.

Naruto smirked at him and then gestured to move closer in.

Sasuke nodded and followed silently after him as they moved in on the group.

"This should be the last shipment." They heard one of them men tell another.

"Does that mean the good Doctor is finally making some progress?" The other joked back.

"He better have made some discoveries. The bosses are starting to get impatient with him." A larger man snarled as he walked past the two gossiping men. "If he is still procuring no results, he will be terminated and replaced. Can't be wasting resources now can we?"

They came to a stop in front of the cliff side. "Of course not." The first man stepped up next to him.

The larger man turned away from them and looked like he put his hand into the side of the cliff.

"We will need to get in with them." Sasuke grasped the handle of his katana, his heart racing with Kakashi's voice. Naruto didn't look up from watching the men in front of them.

"That's obvious," Naruto snorted. "That little nook thingy has a lot of energy surrounding it."

"With their tech, I'd assume it'd take DNA samples to open," Sakura muttered from next to Kakashi who was crouched next to Sasuke.

The side of the cliff shuttered, a section about ten feet by ten feet moved inwards and up.

"Go," Kakashi ordered moving forward directly behind one of the men and then underneath the cargo. Sakura followed him a second behind. Sasuke and Naruto coming up right behind her. They moved forward into the cliff side and onto a metal platform.

The door closed behind the group and the metal floor shuttered underneath them before it descends. The men stay silent on the ride down. When they come to a stop a clanking noise rings out while the wall in front of them rises. The men guide the shipment forward and out into a 'receiving' area. They were met by a crowd of men dressed in black heavy combat suits matching the original six men.

"Our techs picked up a radio signal about half an hour ago." The only man that lacked a black ski-mask spoke walking forward to intercept the group.

"We didn't have any trouble if that's what you're saying." The large man from before crossed his arms over his chest.

"If it's all the same to you, we need to check the cargo." He scowled at the larger male.

"Knock yourselves out, won't find anything, though. Didn't come across a single soul when we were out there." The man shrugged and walked away from the cargo.

Sasuke watched the men search the cargo. "Getting out of here is going to suck." He turned towards Naruto on the ceiling who wasn't paying any attention to anyone, instead, he was staring intently down a hallway.

"Tell me about it," Sakura muttered from his right.

"Time to split up, we meet back here in one hour. After that, we'll figure a way out of here, for now, see what you can find." Kakashi spoke to them.

"Right." Sasuke watched the two as they departed down a hallway opposite from the one Naruto was still staring down. "Dude, what's wrong?"

Naruto blinked and turned to Sasuke. "There's a large energy signal down there." He pointed down that hallway. "I can't tell if it's just energy collecting there, or if some one is giving off that energy."

"There's only one way to find out, lead the way."

Sakura dropped from the ceiling with out a sound and ducked behind a group of computers. She pulled out a hacker from her weapons pouch and stuck it to the back of one of the computer screens before ducking under the computer table and rolling away from sight as a group of people dressed in the same combat material walked past.

She jumped back up to the ceiling after they passed the room and made her way out into the ceiling where she met Kakashi.

"There are three more rooms down this hallway," Kakashi whispered watching another group of people travel below them. "I'm going to go scope out another hallway, I've got five minutes."

She nodded and moved on towards the next room.

"Well, cliche much?" Naruto asked standing next to Sasuke looking at the room full of iced pods.

Sasuke turned to him with a raised eyebrow. "Seriously?"

Naruto waved a hand at him, "These things all are giving off electrical energy, some things in there obviously. If this were a movie, this would be the part where we find alien parts."

"You watch too many movies." Sasuke sighed.

Naruto shrugged, "Plus that one in the middle is giving off the large energy signature." He pointed at said pod. "It's seriously Elementary with Mad scientist labs, all things important are stuck in the middle as center focus." He dropped to the ground with out a sound.

"Are you sure it's safe?" Sasuke dropped to his side silently.

Naruto gave him a dry look, "I can sense them before they see us. It's safe."

Sasuke rolled his eyes and walked over to the nearest pod. "What is in these pods anyway?" He rubbed the frost off the glass. He froze seeing a child's face with closed eyes, gray skin, and light blonde hair staring back at him.

"Whatever it is, they aren't alive," Naruto said over his shoulder walking towards the one in dead center.

Sasuke swallowed. He moved away from the pod and caught up to Naruto who stopped in front of the center pod. Sasuke spotted a computer station just behind this pod.

"Whatever is in this one is alive." Naruto followed after Sasuke absent mindedly still staring at the frosted glass.

"Toss me a hacker, would you?" Sasuke spared Naruto a brief look who dug out the device from his utility belt and tossed it without looking away from the pod.

"I wonder what's in here." Naruto rubbed some of the frost from the glass. "Sas-er, Surge." He turned to look at Sasuke with wide eyes, "There's a child in here."

Sasuke looked up from placing the hacker on the screen of the computer. "That's not a child." He flash-stepped to Naruto's side and rubbed more frost off the glass.

"She's most certainly not an adult yet." Naruto helped him rub off more frost, "Why do you think she's in here?"

"I don't know, but I can find out." Sasuke stepped back to the computer keyboard.

"But you aren't good with tech." Naruto tore his eyes from the girl with blonde hair and pale skin to watch Sasuke at the computer.

"I don't have to be." Sasuke scowled at him. "The hacker has already taken down all the protection protocols, meaning I have complete access." Sasuke sighed at the confused look Naruto was sending him. "If the hacker is downloading the data, don't you think it'd be easier if it took down all the passwords and such first?"

"That's probably why we call it the hacker," Naruto muttered to himself walking over to Sasuke's side.

"Alexandra Danvers. Age fifteen. Human origins?" Sasuke's eyebrows furrowed, "What the fuck."

Naruto looked over his shoulder, "What?"

Sasuke pointed to a line on the screen. "It says she's the only living test subject. They've been rewriting her DNA."

"What?" Naruto looked sick.

"They got a sample of our DNA." Sasuke scrolled down the page with growing anger. "Got a sample of our unique 'energy'. You've got to be fucking kidding me." He snarled and pushed away from the screen. "She's the only survivor of a thousand children taken before they went through puberty. They've fucking had her for five years."

Naruto felt his anger spike. "How's that even possible?"

Sasuke growled, "There is only one person that I know who would have been able to pull something like this off, and he's been missing for a few years."

"Tank." Naruto breathed with horror. "Fuck, you think that sicko is behind this?"

"He's got to be. Out of all the people, we've faced while we were in Vegas, he was the only one that ever saw us." Sasuke clenched his fists.

"He's also probably the only one that could have gotten close enough to get those samples." Naruto scowled and looked back to the screen. "Surge, we can't leave her here."

"Like that was even an option." Sasuke's lips were pulled into a snarl. "Give me a minute, I'm not Rida, but I'll figure out how to release her." Sasuke stepped back to the computer before he growled again.

"What?" Naruto frowned moving back to look over his shoulder.

"The report says she is a failed test," Sasuke said through clenched teeth. "Obviously, they don't understand how Chakra works. We'll need Althea to look her over once we get out of here."

Naruto looked back at the pod, "That's a given." He stepped away from Sasuke and towards the pod with a thoughtful expression on his face. "What I don't understand is if she was a failed test, why did they keep her? Why not terminate her?" Naruto looked at Sasuke over his shoulder a few feet away from the pod. "Wouldn't that be considering 'wasting resources'?"

Sasuke didn't answer for a while, "I don't know." He pressed a few more buttons on the keyboard. "Though, if I had to take a guess, maybe the fact that she lived through the experiments means she'll have the reason why she lived written in her DNA."

Naruto pursed his lips at him. "Maybe."

"Who knows?" Sasuke pressed a final button and grabbed the hacker off the computer.

The frost on the pod receded and the glass lifted with a wave of arctic air that hit Naruto dead on giving his shivers. Both boys held their breath for a moment as she opened her brown eyes, a look of hurt, fear, determination, and hatred flitted across her pale freckled face. This happened seconds before she punched Naruto in the face. He fell back clearly surprised she attacked him.

"Alexandra, stop." Sasuke flash-stepped in front of her and grabbed her wrists in both of his hands. "We aren't here to hurt you."

She opened her mouth and croaked. "Then why are you here?" She coughed and attempted to swallow.

"We just found out you even existed, we are busting you out of here." Naruto picked himself up off the ground rubbing his jaw. "You've got a strong right hook."

She blinked giving him a wide eyed look. "Thank you?"

"No problem. Let's just get out of here." Naruto looked back the way they came from. "There isn't anyone coming this way but we should definitely think about making ourselves scarce."

"Right." Sasuke scooped Alex up and jumped up to the ceiling after Naruto. Alex yelped and wrapped her arms around his neck tightly. "Our hour is almost up anyway, better meet up with the other two."

Sakura collected the last hacker and jumped back up to the ceiling just in time for a few men to enter the room. She quickly and quietly exited the room and ran down the hallway towards the end where Kakashi had disappeared about four minutes ago. He had said five minutes, but she had recollected all the hackers and they really should be heading back to meet up with Sasuke and Naruto.

She came to a stop right before she crashed into Kakashi as he exited the room at the end of the hallway. "I know who this place belongs to." He told her in a quiet rage and gestured for her to move further away from the doorway.

"I take it that it's some one we personally know." She said back tracking.

"Got that right." Kakashi scowled, "Found where Tank relocated."

Sakura froze. "Tank?" She looked over her shoulder at the doorway they were walking away from. "That Psyco moved operations here?"

"That's the way things are looking considering that he is currently in that last room." Kakashi pointed at it. "He was talking to a Doctor about 'Project Shadow'."

"The Project's files should be on the hackers' memory. Rida will make sure that we know exactly what it is, but to be on the safe side we should get rid of their computer systems." Sakura looked back at the many rooms she had entered twice already.

"We don't have time at the moment. We've got to meet up with the boys." Kakashi grabbed her shoulder and pushed her forward.

"You're late." Naruto muttered crossly at Sakura and Kakashi who were giving Sasuke and the girl odd looks.

"Tank's here." Kakashi decided to ignore the girl for now.

"I knew it." Sasuke snarled.

"Plans?" Naruto asked rolling his eyes at his partner.

"I found him talking to a Doctor about 'Project Shadow' whatever it is, we've downloaded their data and we should know all about it this time tomorrow." He pursed his lips, "That is if we make it out of here first."

"Think if we follow the pipes they'll lead us out of here?" Sasuke asked shifting his hold on the girl.

"That is a big possibility but we can't really depend on that." Kakashi rubbed the side of his mask.

"If we put charges on the all the computers and I tear the door off its hinges, they'll be too busy trying to put out fires and figure out who set the charges for them to really notice our quick get away." Sakura shrugged looking back at the entrance. "Doesn't look too heavy."

"That's going to have to work, we don't really have very many options left." Kakashi sighed, "Hydra could you make clones to set the charges and have them blow them up in ten minutes?"

"Not a problem." Naruto crossed his fingers over his chest and twenty new Narutos came into existence around them.

"They were attempting to make a drug similar to Venom using the energy sample they acquired from one of your team members." Batman sighed going over the data on his screen.

"They were calling it 'Phantom Plasm'." Mika shook her head, "I think they took the team's Vegas nickname a bit too seriously."

"Be glad they didn't complete the work. Just from the look of it, this would have made the Kobra Venom look like child's play." Batman moved up another screen.

"That's an understatement." Mika sighed, "Chakra gives them the ability to stick to walls and ceilings and gives Hydra his ability to use clones, Surge's speed and lightning abilities, Althea's incredible strength, and Echo's ability to copy his opponents moves. Just thinking about how that could be made into a drug to give some one bursts of these powers is horrifying." She moved forward and brought up another screen and pushed it towards Batman. "Then there is 'Project Shadow'. They kidnapped prepubescent children and performed horrific DNA altering tests on them. They killed nine hundred and ninety-two kids exactly through this process."

Batman frowned heavily. "They completely operated under our noses, even Cadmus had our attention for a little while at the very least."

"It makes you wonder how many other places like this exist?" Mika frown at the screens in front of her.

"That's why we have the team." Batman looked over at her and folded his arms over his chest. "They can go places where the Justice League can not."

Mika nodded her head, "Makes sense." She folded her arms over her own chest. "Don't take this the wrong way, but if they are to be a covert team they need better lessons in stealth. Black Canary is teaching them combat, but who is teaching them how not to be caught?"

"Are you volunteering?" Batman asked and she could have sworn his eyebrow was raised at her.

"Not me personally." Mika shook her head, "I'm still learning, no I'm thinking of having my team teaching. They already have decided to teach Alex, why couldn't they teach the rest of the team?"

"I thought Alex was a failure," Batman asked.

"No, she has Chakra, she just hasn't unlocked it." She sighed and pushed her blonde hair back. "They seriously had no idea what they were messing with when they took the sample."

"I see." Batman turned from her and looked at the screen that showed a heavily muscled man with army green camouflage combat gear on, a rectangular jaw with a five-o'clock shadow covering it, thin lips with a large scar diagonally through both the top and bottom, heavy black eyebrows over thick black lashes and brown nearly black eyes, and black hair slicked back into a man bun.

"Tank was originally military. Worked with missiles actually." Mika folded her arms over her chest. "He got court marshaled for killing his entire squad. He should have gotten jail time, but since they didn't have actual proof that he killed them they couldn't do much besides stripping him of everything. He had been stationed overseas at the time. Then when he got back to Vegas he got into fights constantly, was arrested a total of seven times before he became Tank, with in six months he became the Crime Lord of Clark County." Mika brought up another screen showing how the man used to look like with a military crew cut, and clean shaven. "What I don't understand is how a man of such honor could fall that fast. From records that I was able to get, one mission went wrong and suddenly his entire squad is dead and he was covered in their blood."

~6000 words... Oh, my God. How did I not die writing this?

Alexandra Danvers is not an original character, but she most definitely won't be playing any role like she did in the Super Girl TV show.

I started to show how Team Seven has affected the YJ world. Tank is obviously new. I'm not too good with villains but I'm hoping I can make Tank a great villain.

Before I get questions about this, before the Team moved to Philidelphia they lived in Las Vegas. They were called the Vegas Phantoms while they did hero work in the city. Their only real baddy from Vegas was Tank.

Also, Guest 'GRIM' Don't bother reviewing I will just delete it. I understand you think this is the worst Naruto fanfiction you've ever read but don't tell me. I could give less than a fuck if you are still willing to read my story. Keep your flames to yourself thanks!

Reviews are love! Flames are not!
