The day after they became minions, Julia, Gregory, William, and a few other minions had an assignment. They had to attempt to rob a small bank as a diversion. "With any luck the Heroes won’t realize that other members of the Legion are robbing another, much bigger bank," they were told.

So the Teal, Gray, Red, Purple, and Black Minions headed out to the back in the small town of Budridge in the Legion’s helicopter. Once over the bank, all five minions jumped onto the roof.

Purple Minion took a laser that they’d been given for the mission and cut a hole in the roof. They all jumped in. The few people in the bank froze after seeing the Minions. Black Minion pulled out a gun and told the woman at the counter to give him the cash box. The other Minions drew their guns and threatened to shoot anyone that moved.

Julia watched the events unfold and thought about how to stop this without making it look like she did it on purpose.

Just then, another person jumped in through the hole in the roof. It was Raven. All Minions turned and pointed their guns at her. But before they could shoot, Raven used to telekinetic powers to close up the barrels of the guns. Then other Heroes came in: Starfire, Robin, and Gadget Guy.

The other Minions ran to fight the Heroes, and Julia quickly thought about what she should do. She had to look like she was fighting, but tell Robin or one of the others that they were only a diversion. In order to do that she had to get one that would listen to her and know that she really was Julia when she told them. She picked Raven, who was closer and no one had run to attack yet.

She ran towards her, but was pushed back against the wall by Raven’s powers. Getting to her isn’t going to be as easy as I thought.

Julia flipped up over people’s heads and landed next to Raven. She quickly kicked her, but not at full force.

Raven stepped back away from the kick, and then advanced, "You know, if you’re going to be fighting us you should learn how to kick!" Raven kicked Julia in the shoulder, causing her to fly back a bit.

Julia again flipped over to Raven and gave her a harder kick, this time sending Raven back into a nearby wall. "I do know how to kick, Raven." Julia said in a harsh tone of voice, for the benefit of the other Minions who might see them.

Raven was taken aback, the voice sounded familiar. Julia felt Raven’s voice in her mind, Julia?

Julia nodded once, then thought (so that Raven would read it and know), "We’re just a diversion, there’s another, bigger bank being robbed right now. The one in Reddington, near here. You need to send people over there to stop them. There are about three villains there. Will and Gregory are here too, they‘re Gray Minion and Red Minion."

Raven apparently heard all of that and grabbed her radio, but before she called anyone she told Julia, "Look like you’re in pain from me scanning you to get the info."

Julia grabbed her head and cried out in mock pain. Raven talked into her radio, "Batgirl, get a few others, whoever’s closest to you right now, and get to the bank in Reddington, there’s a bank robbery going on there, hurry!"

The other Minions heard what she said and knew that they’d failed and that they should leave now. All of them ran to the door, or climbed out through the ceiling. Robin told Gadget Guy and Starfire to chase and catch them. But before they went out Raven told them to not catch the Teal, Red, and Gray Minions, let them get away.

Julia ran as fast as she could with the other Minions. She took a quickly look behind her and saw Starfire and Gadget Guy chasing them.

Black Minion yelled "Split up!" And that’s just what they did. Julia ran down an alley and came out on another street. No one was chasing her. "Whew. That was a great mission; for my real team, that is."

"So, what happened back there, Minions?" Lex Luthor asked Julia, William, and Gregory, who were the only Minions that had escaped being captured.

"Well, everything seemed to go as planned," Gregory started. "We got into the bank, showed them our guns, and told them to give us the cash box."

"Then Raven came into the room and closed up the barrels of our guns so that they wouldn’t work." William said, "Then three other Heroes came in."

"We fought them, and then everything went haywire." Julia said, "I was fighting Raven and then I felt this horrible pain in my head. Next thing I know she’s calling for other Heroes to go and stop the bank robbery at Reddington."

"So it’s your fault that the mission went flop."

"No! I couldn’t stop her! I tried to hide it! Honest I did!"

"It’s your fault just the same!" Luthor slapped her across the face. Gregory moved to stop him, but Julia gave him a quick look that told him not to.

"Get out of my sight!" Luthor told Julia and the others. They quickly obeyed.

Once out of the room, William looked over at Julia, "Are you all right?"

"Yeah, I’m fine. It doesn’t hurt nearly as bad as most other things that happen to me in this job."

"Good." Gregory said, "Well, we’d better get to our rooms. See you guys at dinnertime.

"Bye."

"Bye."
