The riproar of the batwing passing through the skies of Metropolis was enough to set [i]any[/i] villain on edge. Jinx certainly was not one to count her chickens, but in this case she was glad Gizmo was as good as he was when infiltrating complex security systems; otherwise Batman may have noticed that the ARGUS facility he had just passed in his batwing was also being robbed of its contents. Jinx had never dealt with Batman in her entire career but after having enough trouble with the first boy wonder she wasn’t too interested in finding out herself. The pink-haired girl took a sigh as she kept her position as Ambush Bug began to complain over their short range (and encrypted) communication line.

{“So on a scale of one to ten, how crazy is it that I [i]want[/i] Batman to have noticed us?”}

{[color=pink]“Definitely a ten. Be glad he’s after whoever he is after, okay?”[/color]} Jinx responded over the frequency before groaning in discontent. {[color=pink]“Also, keep the line clear from now on, okay?”[/color]}

{“...fine. I mean, ‘affirmative’ or something.”}

That was Ambush Bug for you— the comic relief as they called him. But in reality, Ambush Bug wasn’t just valuable for his way of lightening the mood as a much needed morale boost, he was extremely gifted beyond his ability for teleportation. He was agile and had an affinity for outside-the-box thinking, letting few people be able to completely follow his combat patterns. Jinx remembered one such occasion with Deathstroke where it ended with a lot of exasperated groans and expletives. She smirked at the memory.

{“We’re in. I’ve disabled the first set of security systems, Jinx. We’re going to need to be faster than we anticipated though.”}

Jinx raised a brow as she swiped the hacked security card through the keycard slot of one of the side doors. {[color=pink]“What? Why?”[/color]}

{“Steelworks Security Systems are annoying to get around and they have a lot of failsafes.”}

Jinx sighed. Of course it would be [i]Steelworks[/i]— they were in [i]Metropolis[/i] after all. The town was divided between STAR Labs, LexCorp, and Steelworks Technologies; and none of them were easy to deal with. She would kill to be in a generic city stealing generic items from generic museums— but a job was a job. 

{[color=pink]“Noted. Keep me updated.”[/color]}

Jinx motioned to her team to cover her blind spots as she entered the door slid open. 

The next few minutes seemed to go like clockwork— Gizmo guided Jinx and the others through the facility without getting detected, though they knew it’d be only until they ran into an ARGUS defense team or unmanned mech. But by the time that would happen the entire camera system would be compromised and unable to be re-activated due to Jinx and Shimmer cutting it off at the source. Though as soon as they did that the alarms seemed to screech throughout the facility.

Exactly as Gizmo told them would happen— but triggering the alarm was better than being surprised by the alarm as far as the group figured. 

A slight chuckle on Gizmo’s end of the comm was apparent. {“Well, now we have only like a few minutes until some cape that is on-duty to investigate. Before you destroyed the camera feed did you decipher the location and cross-reference it with our map?”}

{[color=pink]“Of course. Unless it's a speedster, we shouldn’t have a problem.”[/color]}

Jinx looked over to Mammoth and Terra. [color=pink]“This is the part where you smash and shake. Myself and Shimmer shouldn’t be too long.”[/color]

Mammoth grinned. “Don’t get sloppy, sis.”

“You do know who you are talking to, right?”

Jinx half-laughed, [color=pink]“C’mon.”[/color]
