Mynx went home and spent the rest of the day with her parents, sleeping there that night. However the next morning, she left. She left her cellphone and her Titans' communicator on her dresser with a note reading, "Do not look for me, you won't find me so don't even waste your time. I'm sorry."
She left before her parents woke up and took a duffle bag filled with several pairs of clothes, her wallet filled with cash, and several other things. She took up residence at an abandoned building far out in the wilderness. Several days later and she was sharing the building with a man; he was shorter than average, balding with grey hair, and appeared to be in his late fifties. However he was not there willingly, Mynx had kidnapped him and tied him up. She'd used her shapeshifting to disguise herself, so no one would recognize her. She took the form of a blonde teenage girl with blue eyes and pale skin.
She calmly walked into the room she was holding the man, taking the blindfold off of him and roughly pulling the duck tape off his mouth. "So Doctor, are you ready to talk or should I come back in a few more days?" She asked.
"Who are you?" The man asked.
Mynx laughed coldly, "You don't even recognize what you've created." The man's eyes widened with realization. "That's right. Twenty-something failed attempts and then you got me."
"You're supposed to be dead." The man was clearly terrified.
"No, my mother only claimed to have killed to protect me for you people." Mynx pulled a laptop out of her bag and placed it on a table set up in front of the man. "You see parents will some pretty extreme things to protect their children." She opened it and played a video showing a young girl, probably seven or eight years old, tied up in a room similar to the one the two were in.
"Sara!" The man yelled.
"Oh, she can't hear you, but we can hear her." She turned on the sound which filled the room with the sounds of the young girl's crying and begging to be freed. "You see I need somethings from you and the longer you take to tell me what I want, the less likely your precious little daughter will make it out of this alive. You see that room is airtight. Nothing gets in and nothing gets out, including oxygen, so when your daughter uses up all that precious breathable oxygen she will slowly suffocate and I'll force you to listen to every gasp she makes until there's no life left in her."
"You're a monster!" The man yelled.
"Oh, but you made me this way." Mynx said with an evil smile. "You wanted a weapon and that's what you got. So what I want are names; names of those whose DNA you stole to create me and the name of this man," she held up what appeared to be a police sketch of a man, "he killed my mother, and I want him."
The man locked angrily at Mynx before looking at the screen. "Fine, but you have to promise you won't harm my daughter."
"Oh I don't prey on children like you did to my mother, so your daughter will be fine if you give me what I want." Mynx replied pulling out a pen and pad of paper to write the names down. Little did the man know, the video wasn't a livestream of his daughter but footage of Mynx using her shapeshifting to look like his daughter.
"The DNA I was given were," the man paused trying to remember, "Superman, Aquaman, Martian Manhunter, Wonder Woman, Firestorm, Vibe, Flash, Black Canary, Atom, Animal Man, Crimson Fox, Dawnstar, and Anima."
"Okay, that's a start." Mynx said.
"A start?! That's all of them!" The man yelled.
"That's," she counted the names, "thirteen individuals. A decent amount, but there's one thing they all have in common; they're either members of the Justice League or associated with the Justice League is some way. You and I both know to create a living weapon you're gonna need more than that, so tell me the names of those who aren't considered 'heroes'."
"That's all of them."
"Okay, well since you refuse to cooperate, I'll leave. After all it's not my daughter's life on the line." She stood up and left. She went to the room she transformed into a security office/bedroom. She'd gone to insane measures to make sure she couldn't be tracked; from leaving during a huge rainstorm in order to throw off her scent trail to using a magic blocker to make any attempts of using magic to find her fail.
The room had an inflatable mattress in one corner, a pillow sat on top of a few folded blankets neatly organized. Next to the bed was a wooden box serving as a night stand with a gas powered lamp on it. On the opposite wall sat a desk with several computer screens on it showing the feed from security cameras scattered throughout the building and its perimeter. Hanging on the wall above the screens was the blood stained jacket. There was a small makeshift kitchen with a propane powered stovetop sitting on top of a portable camping pantry along with a coffee maker. In the opposite corner to the kitchen was a large metal tub that served as a bathtub and a portable camping toilet.
Mynx sat at the desk and began scanning through the security cameras with one hand and writing down the names she was just given with the other. She waited about half an hour before going back in. "I changed my mind." She said as she untied the man and hand cuffed him to the chair. She placed an blank notebook in front of him along with a pen. "I want you to write down everything; the names of the girls you forced into the experiments, the names of those who worked on it, and the names of those whose DNA you took along with the powers you wanted from them."
"If I refuse?" The man asked.
"Well then I'll just bring Sara in for a little reunion before I kill her." Mynx said with an evil smirk as the man began writing. Once he was done she took the notebook and looked it over. Satisfied, Mynx left to pack up her things. She returned with a large canvas sheet which she spread on the ground before pushing the chair onto it. "I do have to thank you for all your help." She said grabbing the laptop.
"Where's my daughter?" The man yelled.
Mynx chuckled, "Oh she's probably at school. I never had her. Unlike you I draw the line at hurting young girls to get what I want." She slid the laptop into her duffel bag and pulled out a gun. She kneeled next to him, pressing the gun to his forehead. "Now what to do with you. You may not know what my actual face looks like but you do know that I'm alive, and I simply can't have that getting out," she cocked the gun, "so do you have any last words?"
The man looked at her with malice in his eyes, "you could have rose above your beginning but you putting a bullet in my brain shows your exactly what you were made to be; a monster."
Mynx laughed, "You know for a doctor you're pretty damn stupid? I was made to do what I was told and now I will follow no orders. Putting a bullet in your head is just to protect myself." With that she pulled the trigger, she wrapped the body in the canvas and burnt the building to the ground. She disposed of the body by dropping it into the Gulf of Mexico and continued her rampage. She found the man that killed her mother, tied him up and set him adrift in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. Either he would be roasted to death or the boat would spring a leak and he'd drown.
With the two men dead, she was finished with her vengeance. If the Justice League asked, she merely went undercover to find the information and due to the secrecy of the experiments, there would be no way for them to connect the two missing men to her.
After all this she went to a bed and breakfast in St. Augustine a few hours away from her home, and fell asleep, getting her first good nights rest since all of this began. She knew by the time she awoke, she would be found.
It had been several weeks since Mynx had last been seen by anyone, and while Starfire was helping in the search she had moved in with Diego. She was lying in the bed the two shared sleeping. The morning sun coming into the window.
