All about Flinx

"Herbal tea," Raven replied, "It contains an ingredient that dampens psychic sensitivity, makes the auras here less blinding."

"It is the most awesome thing ever," Jinx adds in, "And fast-acting. Like psychic Tylenol."

Raven inclined her head and held out a box to Wally. "Here. Batman said you might be low on energy."

Wally blinked, taking the parcel. It contained some protein bars, an energy drink, and some fruit. He had been running low, but nothing critical compared to the last few weeks of fighting the Brotherhood. "Thanks! Wait, Batman said that? When? He's been arguing with Robin pretty much since the League got here."

Raven's lips twitched. "Green Lantern is of the opinion that he relegated me to 'matron duty' when I cut into their passive-aggressive loving disguised as bickering and told them to shut up and hug already."

There was a moment of stunned silence before Jinx and Wally burst out laughing.

"New favorite person!"

"That's awesome, Rae."

Raven leveled a glare at the redhead, one of the crates near him cracking open. "Beastboy was lying when he said you could call me that."

Jinx snickered. "Who said anything about Beastboy? Maybe Wally's the one who told him to call you that."

"Jinx! Come on," Wally pleaded, looking between Raven and the crate warily.

Raven schooled her expression back to neutrality. "Eat. I'm not going to carry your unconscious self anywhere."

Wally muttered a quiet "Yes, Ma'am" and unwrapped his snack as Raven walked away, her cape flowing behind her. She stopped by Argent, crouching down to heal a wound on her arm, before moving on to separate two squabbling heroes. She handed one several strips of beef jerky - where she was getting them from, he wasn't sure - and handed the other a bottle of water. Wally couldn't hear what Raven was saying to them, but after a few moments, they sat down, looking abashed, quietly hydrating and replenishing their energy.

"You're worried about her."

Wally swallowed the last of his protein bar and turned back to Jinx. "What makes you say that?"

"You have that look on your face you get when I come home late. You're right, though. She's spreading herself pretty thin."

"You think her team knows?"

Jinx scoffed. "They might, but they're, like, the worst people ever when it comes to overworking themselves, even Beastboy."

Cyborg was helping helping decrypt and analyze the Brotherhood's information, hiding a yawn. Robin was talking to Batman and Wonder Woman, leaning against a stack of crates to mask his fatigue. Beastboy was parading around as an elephant, helping cart instruments and debris around. Starfire zoomed above their heads, carrying medical supplies to those who needed them.

"... Is it bad that I'm too comfortable where I am to get up and help?"

"Not at all," a new male voice said, "It's a miracle you kids did as much as you did without worse casualties."

Jinx and Wally stiffened, scrambling up to greet the newcomer. "Green Lantern!"

The dark-skinned intergalactic peacekeeper nodded, holding out a PDA. "The debriefing roster's ready. You two are towards the end; the more involved debriefs were saved for last."

Jinx stared back defiantly at the older superhero's assessing gaze. She had just spent the last several hours fighting alongside the Titans to save the world, thank you very much, and wasn't about to let someone who hadn't even been on-planet make her feel small. Yeah, she'd been a villain. She wasn't anymore.
