(Collab with [@Lord Wraith] )

Jessica Jester looked around the place in question. Awed at the appearance of the thing, currently dressed in some shorts and a hoodie. So, this was going to be her 'home' from now on - ever since THE Batman had pumped into her and thought her of being somebody called 'Killer Croc' - since he threw some strange metal objects at her, that didn't do much but make her feel - like some clown at a Circus. Since they didn't hurt her much.

He fixed his mistake later on, when it was revealed Jessica wasn't a criminal nor threat to anyone. Just a diving girl searching for stuff - he instead of leaving, offered her something else entirely. To be a hero, due to her 'gifts' - she didn't think of herself as a hero, until he counted out all that she could do. Like he had read it from some book.

Soon enough Lizard - as was her new alias, entered the building alongside the other heroes. Before she yelped, when somebody pulled her by her tail to somewhere...or next to someone. As namely turned around to see the Batman, whom had pulled her to the side.

[COLOR=GREENYELLOW]"Yo? How can I help?"[/COLOR]

[COLOR=BLACK][B]"A humanoid lion-man has abducted an archaeologist in Louisiana. I'm putting a team together..."[/B][/COLOR] Batman said to Green Lantern and the Lizard before reaching out and tapping Ravager to join them as well. 

[COLOR=BLACK][B]"You... I need you too..."[/B][/COLOR] Batman said slightly distracted as he turned back to Green Lantern to finish his prior conversation. 

[COLOR=GREENYELLOW]"Okay? Think it good idea? Might be mistaken for one animal,"[/COLOR] chuckled Lizard, not minding her appearance at all.

[COLOR=BLACK][B]"The League can provide you with a holographic disguise if necessary, however this mission will be kept subtle. We can't have the target getting word we're on his tail."[/B][/COLOR] The pun was not lost on the Dark Knight. [COLOR=BLACK][B]"As such, I'll be counting on you and the rest of the team to stay out of site and remain incognito when gathering intel."[/B][/COLOR] Batman replied as he turned back to face Jessica. 

[COLOR=GREENYELLOW]"Well I've ye say so. Not sure how can I be of use, maybe except wrestle this hairy flea-ball back into his cage or som'thing,"[/COLOR] replied Jessica - namely she didn't know the location much. But expected to get her information handed to her, when they arrived at their location.

[hr]

Jessica on the way to their destination, happily looked and watched out of the flying contraption. She had never been above the skies at that, or even taken a plane in the first place. It was so exciting that she could barely remain in her seat.

That was until, the Batman - spoke that they were arriving at their location. She then noticed how the others were putting on those strange backpack things. She tried to understand how her own worked - but was failing miserably. Luckily one of her own team, was willing to offer her a hand.

[COLOR=GREENYELLOW]"Mhmm. Sure thing. Help a gal out?"[/COLOR] asked Jessica from their gun-toting fan-girl. [COLOR=GREENYELLOW]"Rose, yeh? Name Jessica. Pleasu' to meet ya."[/COLOR]

[COLOR=DARKORANGE][B]"Likewise."[/B][/COLOR] Rose stated immediately getting to work as she pulled the straps tight across Lizard's chest before reaching between her legs, carefully minding the tail.

[COLOR=DARKORANGE][B]"Normally I'd buy you dinner first."[/B][/COLOR] Rose muttered as she finished doing up the straps, giving the Lizard one finally look over before nodding her approval. [COLOR=DARKORANGE][B]"You're all fastened in."[/B][/COLOR] She stated taking a hold of a release pull. [COLOR=DARKORANGE][B]"This is what you want to hang on to, when you're within the zone, pull this and your parachute will release."[/B][/COLOR] She added. 

[COLOR=DARKORANGE][B]"Any questions?"[/B][/COLOR]

[COLOR=GREENYELLOW]"Ehhh....yeah? How does one fly in this thing? I mea'n. I've seen how many drunk yokels, get dropped out of a plane. Bu' that was mostly on TV. How does one steer and not hit the sign of s'mthing?"[/COLOR] replied Jessica in reply - chuckling at Rose' dinner offer. [COLOR=GREENYELLOW]"Mhm? I like seafoo'd dear. Alread' checkin'g out the catch?"[/COLOR]

[COLOR=DARKORANGE][B]"When the parachute releases, take a hold of the straps on either side."[/B][/COLOR] Rose began a wry smile crossing her face, lifting her arms to demonstrate. [COLOR=DARKORANGE][B]"When you do, hold the parachute steady for a slow descent, or lean the direction you want to go. So long as you don't deploy too early, you won't have a problem, these things are pretty much made to save lives so even an unconcious body can float towards the ground safely."[/B][/COLOR] Rose stated matter of factly. [COLOR=DARKORANGE][B]"And don't even worry about deploying too late, your parachute has a failsafe that will deploy after you've fallen a thousand feet in order to prevent terminal velocity."[/B][/COLOR]

She turned to head towards the door before pausing to look back at Lizard.

[COLOR=DARKORANGE][B]"And yes, we're higher up than a thousand feet so you don't have to worry about the failsafe activating when you're already a stain on the ground."[/B][/COLOR] 

[COLOR=GREENYELLOW]"Hehehe...."[/COLOR] chuckled Lizard, as she soon looked outside and saw the water below them. [COLOR=GREENYELLOW]"I'm likely going to splash into the water. Mos' likely in my case. Sorry, not the smartest tool 'n the shed. Not many schools wanted 'm around....so mostly am homeschooled."[/COLOR]

[COLOR=GREENYELLOW]"Mkay. Hol'd it steady. An' lean where you like to go...."[/COLOR] she hummed, as they soon were arriving at their destination. [COLOR=GREENYELLOW]"So hun? We jumpin' now or what?"[/COLOR]

[COLOR=DARKORANGE][B]"You could say I'm homeschool as well."[/B][/COLOR] Rose said with a small dry chuckle. 

[COLOR=DARKORANGE][B][i]Yeah, homeschooled by the World's Deadliest Assassin.[/i][/B][/COLOR]

[COLOR=DARKORANGE][B]"I think we need to figure out what to do for the thorn bush before we jump."[/B][/COLOR] Rose added looking towards Question and the Warden. 

[COLOR=BLACK][B]"Then do it quickly. We'll be above the drop zone in a minute."[/B][/COLOR] Came the Bat's reply from the cockpit. 

[COLOR=DARKORANGE][B]"Put the parachute on backwards."[/B][/COLOR] Rose said thinking quickly as she motioned for the Lizard to walk with her. [COLOR=DARKORANGE][B]"Here, help me put this one. How thick is that skin of yours?"[/B][/COLOR]  She asked motioning for Lizard to pull the straps across the Warden's back. 

Lizard followed after Rose - getting a nice view of the other' back. She shook her head in reply to that. 'Bad mind, bad. No dirty thoughts'. she hummed in reply, helping to pull the straps around the Warden. Minding to not snap them, since she could feel how easy it was for her - but also how much strain those straps were under.

[COLOR=GREENYELLOW]"Mkay. That enoug' gal?"[/COLOR] asked Lizard, as she checked out the appearance, and followed Rose' instruction - so their other friend wouldn't go 'splat' like Rose warned.

[COLOR=DARKORANGE][B]"Should be good."[/B][/COLOR] Rose said as she stood up from between the Warden's legs having pulled the straps around his thighs. [COLOR=DARKORANGE][B]"Sorry for the invasion of space but it's time to go."[/B][/COLOR] She said as Batman pressed a button to open the side of the jump ship.

[COLOR=BLACK][B]"You four are jumping here. I've got other business to attend to but I will keep in touch. I expect updates every hour, sooner if there's a major development. Question, you'll be taking point, I need you to figure out what the target wants with the victim and naturally where they've gone. The rest of you, follow Question's lead. No arguments."[/B][/COLOR] Batman said as Rose gave a slightly sarcastic salute. In her opinion it should have been her on point but that was a conversation for another time.

[COLOR=DARKORANGE][B]"Alright, you three go first. I have a feeling I have a lot more experience with this than you lot do."[/B][/COLOR] She ordered. 

[COLOR=GREENYELLOW]"You got it....guess the newbie first 'eh?"[/COLOR] chuckled Lizard, slightly nervously - as she looked out the door. Then looked back at Rose - before giving the Mercenary' daughter a quick hug. [COLOR=GREENYELLOW]"Han'g out later, once this don' eh. See ya later cutie-pie..."[/COLOR]

With that Lizard was out of the plane, counting her distances - then opening her chute a quarter too late and as expected went into a spin then went splat onto the building below.

[COLOR=GREENYELLOW][i]"Amm 'kay..blasted, bed-sheet...."[/i][/COLOR] she grumbled, none much affected by her high-speed landing onto concrete - over her comm-piece.

As the other two jumped, Rose followed suit, diving into the air as she blasted past the Warden and Question. The rush of adrenaline from falling was a welcome thrill to the boredom that had plagued the rest of the day. Reaching the point where it was either her or the failsafe that was going to go, Rose rolled into a ball, righting herself up again before pulling the ripcord and steering her parachute to the skyline as she waited for the others.

[COLOR=DARKORANGE][B]"Alright Q, what's the plan?"[/B][/COLOR] She asked looking at the buildings below as she hid some of her amusement at Lizard's unfortunate tumble. Lizard taking the time to slowly pick herself up after her failed tumble.
