"So this is how humans die?"
Megan's hands were over her mouth. "Poor Jenny..."
"And she was only 17," Robin added. His head was bent down in a formal gesture. His tracker started beeping rapidly, and the Air around us was swirling. "I'll call the League."
Superboy walked cautiously toward us, minding the Kryptonite. "So this is how humans die?"
I nodded, tears falling on Jenny's face. "But she didn't deserve to. I should've been the one who died."
Artemis patted my back awkwardly. "Don't take it too hard on yourself. Things happen."
I pressed my ear to her chest, hoping for a beat, but there was nothing. She was long gone.
"Here comes the League," Aqualad said, looking at the sky.
I looked up. Superman's red cape was easy to spot amongst the clouds, and Green Lantern brought other superheroes with his ring.
I didn't care much to mention the others. 슈퍼맨 landed on the ground, horrorstruck.
"Do 당신 have any ideas on who did this?" he asked in a monotone voice.
"Clown guy!" Lian exclaimed, looking at the body.
Batman, Erica, and Red Tornado landed with GL, and Erica ran toward us.
"Oh God," she touched Jenny's forehead. "Oh Draco Spiritus, ubi es?"
"What?" KF asked, speeding toward us.
Erica sighed. "We've no hope. The Dragon Spirit should've called her 의해 now." She wiped a tear from her eye.
배트맨 was suddenly behind her, and she flinched. "We'll have to take her in for an autopsy. That's all we can do."
Aqualad and Superboy brought a stretcher from the bioship, and placed Jenny on it. They strapped her in, and brought her back to the bioship.
"How are we gonna tell her family?" Megan wondered.
"We don't have to," 배트맨 put in. "It's all over the news already."
"But it's a ghost town," Artemis said. "There can't have been any cameras around..."
"Yes, but since the explosion involved Kryptonite, anybody within a five-mile radius could hear it."
"Victoria will be heartbroken," I sobbed. "First her mom, then Jenny..."
There was an awkward silence after that. One 의해 one, all the superheroes, including the team, found their own way to Gotham City.
Lian and I were last. I stared down at the death site of the Avatar, then walked away.
Christopher, Annaliese, Victoria, and a gray-haired man walked through the hospital doors. As soon as Vicky spotted the body, she burst into tears. Annaliese followed suit, whereas Chris just stood there, wide-eyed.
He and the gray-haired man knelt 의해 the body, and I saw them making little prayers.
The team surrounded the family, 또는 what was left of it. Megan hugged Jenny's sisters in a comforting way.
I walked toward to Chris. "I'm sorry, this is all my fault."
He bit his lip, hiding tears. "Don't blame yourself. We all know it was the Joker."
He looked so much like her. He had the same facial structure, the same brown hair. It was as if I was staring right at her, but I knew it was someone else.
The only difference between them was their eyes. He had dark brown eyes, while Jeannette had beautiful silver ones.
The gray-haired man caressed her cheek. "I should've been there. I haven't seen her for a month, and when I do, she's already dead."
I recognized him as their father. He had the same silver eyes like Jenny.
Chris stood up. "Dad..."
"Go call the funeral home," Mr. Thomas said in between tears.
Chris nodded, then left the room. I felt a little tap on my shoulder, then turned around.
"Let's go," Aqualad muttered. "Let them mourn her alone."
I nodded, then followed the team out of the room, leaving the family to cry over the loss of their Jeannette.
I found Chris in the hallway, talking into his phone, probably calling the funeral home.
"I'm not lying," he said into the phone. "I'm Chris Thomas, her brother."
I couldn't bring myself to comfort him, so I just walked down the hallway.
"Let them mourn her alone."
Revenge watched. The Shadow placed something in the drawer and began to close it.
Revenge jumped down and kicked him in the face. The shadow fell to the ground. Revenge pinned him before opening the drawer. The body was disintegrated, an acid ate through the flesh, muscles, bones, everything. Revenge collected a sample before he saw the grenade.
It was a timed grenade. And the timer indicated ten 초 before detonation.
"Shit!"

Revenge stumbled away. The woman looked at the needle in her hand. The blood within was mixed with a strange brown mixture. Revenge gripped his arm and glared at the woman.
"A simple test will tell me who is beneath the mask, Red Revenge. And your secret will belong to me."
"Not likely." Revenge growled.
"Oh, but that's not all it does." she continued. "It poisons the blood stream. Corrupts the DNA within cells and eventually kills them."
"Nerve gas."
"In a liquid form, yes Red Revenge."

Dozens of reporters swarmed around the billionaire from New York, but he calmly walked past them all and into the limousine. A bodyguard turned around.
"Mr. Grant has no statement to make." he said in a heavy accent, and got into the car with the billionaire before it drove off.
"Target moving north."
"Nightwing?"
"What?"
"Did 당신 hear that?"
"Yeah. I told 당신 the target was moving north."
"It sounded like a girl said it."
"Do I sound like a girl to you?"
"No."
"Then keep an eye on the target, Batgirl. Nightwing out."
