Justice League Unlimited verse.  First independent account I ever made for tumblr.  Shayera is usually on hiatus, due to no muse and hardly any plots going on.  Either way, I love her and I would never delete her.

((Kill Me :P ))

((This got out of hand, I'm sorry))

"Never underestimate the power of a little black dress and high heels." Annie said as she messed with Jade's hair causing her to scrunch up her nose.

"It's just not me. The sooner we get the mission done, the happier I'll be." Jade replied, pulling at the hem of her dress which she felt was way too short.

"Relax you're just back up. Let the master work and we'll have this done in no time." Annie said with a wink. "Give me a few hours and I'll have all the information I need from the Biaylan politicians."

Later, they were mingling with the crowd and Jade maintained an easy distance away. For some reason, the air felt thick and heavy with something and Jade signaled Annie that she needed some air. Outside she felt her mind clear and called Shayera.

"Biaylan Ambassadors?" Shayera questioned as she sent Jade an image on her communicator. "Was this woman with them?"

"Yeah, she introduced herself as their translato-"

"That's Queen Bee. We're sending you backup but don't go back in." Shayera said urgently as she grabbed her mace.

"But-" Jade was quickly interrupted by bang of gunfire. She looked back inside and saw what was seemingly every American secret service agent... and Annie pointing a gun at the Bialyan visitors.

"No!" Jade screamed bursting into the room again separating the two groups with a wall of ice and she landed beside Bialyan representatives.

"That's no way to treat foreign visitors." Queen Bee said, walking up next to her.

"Stay away from me! I know this is your fault!" Jade yelled raising a glowing hand at her. Queen Bee only smirked and Jade felt her head get foggy.

"Why don't you kill those agents for me. I need something to cover our escape." To Jade's horror she turned her ice on the agents. A bullet grazed her shoulder and she turned to see Annie had been the one to shoot her.

"Jade, snap out of it!" Annie yelled, her gun shaking. Jade only froze her solid.

When Queen Bee's influence finally wore off, Annie's face frozen in fear haunted her.

OOC: Lets compile a list of people Jade most often associate with

Yrra- Former killer of Green Lanterns and Sinestro Corps Member, now a Star Sapphire.

Laira- Former Red Lantern and currently a disgraced Green Lantern.

Larfleeze- Orange Lantern, greedily takes everything he can and is completely unrepentant.

Shayera- Original Justice League member but still mistrusted after betraying Earth to Thanagar.

Bo- Succubus currently struggling with making sure she doesn't let her powers control her.

Warren Harper, Wendigo, fits right in with this list of people XD

My character needs to look at her life and her choices. There is a very clear pattern here.

Shayera is my mentor in a way and I really respect her as both a hero and a person. I'm really fortunate she's decided to take me under her wing....uh no pun intended there.

((pretend))

Jade awoke to the Black Mercy shivering and writhing on her chest, unable to continue binding it's cold host. Feelings of rage and pain boiled to the surface as she grabbed the plant and froze it from the inside out. She looked around and remembered where she was and why she was here. The Justice League Watchtower was overrun with the alien plant after a mysterious box was delivered. The ice and fire based heroes had been called upon in hopes they could stop it but they had been overwhelmed.

Jade crushed the frozen plant in her hands before feeling out for the water in the watchtower. She felt that several of the flowers were coming up behind her and she attacked them. Taking out the pain of losing her family once again and that dream world she hated herself for desperately wishing was real and wanted to go back to. This continued as she fueled her anger into the plants' extermination and, by the time a few Lanterns answered the distress call, every Black Mercy was dead.

Hours later, Jade stood in one of the isolated sections of the Watchtower, by the large windows looking out into the expanse of space. Her arms were crossed as she let herself get lost in the silent darkness outside.

"Jade?" Yrra said as she landed behind her.

"Is everyone else alright?" Jade asked, not bothering to look back.

"They should be waking up soon. They were under the Black Mercy's influence longer so that's to be expected." Yrra said, walking up so she was right next to Jade. "Right now I want to know if you're alright."

"I'll be fine."

"Jade, you don't have to lie to me." Yrra said placing her hands on Jade's shoulders. "Just talk to me."

"Have you ever had a dream so real and wonderful you never want to wake up? That with every fiber of your being you wish was real and pretend is real once you realize it's a dream?" Jade said, pulling away as she looked back out the window. "Then had it all torn away from you?"

"I think I know a think or two about that." Yrra replied and they both fell silent. Their thoughts lost in the realm of what would never be.

((Prompt: Rage))

((Red Lantern!Laira AU))

"Why are you here Laira?" Jade said looking up at the woman. She'd been a prisoner of the Red Lantern for weeks now, not sure what their agenda was. It had been brutal but Jade wasn't about to let Laira see how much it had affected her.

"Antipathy." Laira snarled. "I should kill you just for that human."

"You haven't so far." Jade pointed out leaning her head against the wall. "I'm guessing either you've been ordered not to or you can't. Considering I'm less valuable than Shayera as a hostage, I think it's the latter." Laira screams, blood spilling from the corner of her mouth as she banged against the bars.

"Why?!" Laira demanded. "Why do you still believe in me?!"

"Someone has to since you don't seem to believe in yourself." Jade said with as much of a shrug as she could muster in her bonds.

((I think Jade is still in the searching-for-herself stage. And her and Shayera are more like teacher-student, but could get close. My headcanons i don't even know))

((She's definitely is in that stage of trying to discover herself. She's still unsure of herself and how to deal with others but the relationships she's forming have been helping her.

I can also see them becoming really good friends))
