Justice League Porn Story: Mardi Gras Chapter 12
Chapter 12: Marked
A little over an hour later Mardi Gras got up again. Thankfully her headache was almost entirely gone and her balance had returned. Carefully she made her way out of the infirmary and started the trek to the doors. Unfortunately this time she gained a lot more attention than she had before. For the most part, everyone just stared and whispered, but a young looking girl approached.
Mardi Gras knew shed seen her around, after all she was hard to miss in her red, white, and blue. The star in the center of her chest led Mardi Gras to believe that her name was something along the line of Star, but she honestly couldnt remember.
So, are you joining? Star asked when she was close enough.
H-huh? Mardi Gras stuttered. I-Im not. Not really.
Aww, come on. Another voice interjected, and Mardi Gras turned to find Supergirl now standing to her right. It could be fun!
Mardi Gras laughed nervously. Maybe for you. Im really not the Justice League type
But you did good today. Supergirl told her.
Yeah, and you even knew about that..stuff. Star added. Howd you figure that out anyway?
Thats not your concern. Mardi Gras answered a little coolly, turning to leave.
Star made an unhappy noise, well, that was rude. What? Do you think youre better than us or something?
Mardi Gras stopped for a moment, and then lowered the collar of her jacket and abruptly pulled up her hair, revealing the reddened, puckered scar tissue on the back of her neck. The chemical like burn had the distinct shape of a palm with four small marks on the right side of her neck, and one on the left. Few couldnt recognize it as a hand print.
I think you get the picture. Mardi Gras told them softly, shrugging her jacket back on and, as quickly as she could without running, left the building.

Jess had actually made it to Oscars school with some time to spare so she parked their car at the curb to wait. Sitting there in the silence Jess let her mind drift back through the day. The feeling of dread shed had since that morning wouldnt leave. He was getting close, whether or not he actually realized it.
I hope he doesnt realize I was there. Maybe that wasnt such a good idea. Theres no telling if they would have figured it out. Did I just give our position away? Thoughts swirled in her head, unrelenting and vicious. Whether or not it had been a true attack on the Justice League, the doubt just wouldnt leave. Jess laid her head on the steering wheel and tried not to think about it.
The sound of the door opening made her jump, and Jess looked up to see Oscar entering the car, a concerned look on his face. Is something wrong? He asked quietly.
Yeah. Jess answered softly. I got a migrainefromthat. She didnt need to be any more specific than that. He knew instantly what she was talking about.
Was it aimed at you, or someone else? Oscar asked after a minute.
Cant really tell. Jess answered truthfully. There was no reason to lie. Protecting him meant telling the truth. He may have just been after the Justice League, but A thoughtful silence filled the car as Jess started the engine and started home. When they pulled into the garage Oscar spoke again.
Maybe, for now, we should stay. Oscar looked at her then. You stopped it, right? Jess nodded, not too sure where he was going. He might not know that it wasnt the Justice League. Jess bit her lip. The thought had occurred to her, but the paranoia shoved it to the back. Of course, if they moved now and he didnt know it could draw attention to them. There were just too many choices and no way to know which was the safest course.
Then lets stay and see how it goes. Jess finally agreed. Although Oscar smiled at the though, Jess could see the wariness in his eyes. Neither of them would be able to relax much knowing he was near, but they would try for a while.
Okay, so another chapter much sooner than the last.
Anyways, please review!
