Y/n had successfully stopped Cheshire from the attempted assasination. They watched her get detained and driven off to the police department , the mysterious person who was the arbitrator was none other than lex luthor , not the man of steel , Now being sent off by Lex luthor to get information.
Later , Y/n looked at Cheshire behind the bars , now being in their hero attire as they wanted to get information out of Cheshire for the assassination attempt. They crossed their arms. “Aren't you going to ask me anything?” Cheshire said , practicing combat moves while in the cell. “I think you know what I'm after.” They replied back , their hands moving towards their hips. “I do actually , do you?” her movements were quite graceful and swift. “Who hired you?” Y/n cocked their head to the side as they spoke. “The shadows.” Y/n sighed. “and who hired them.” Cheshire's gaze shifted towards them , still practicing moves before going to a sudden halt. “I don't ask.” she then winked at them before continuing.
"What's the endgame , a peace summit or luthor himself" y/n's gaze still on Cheshire. "Two birds , one stone , hey! Where are your little sidekick friends?" They're always fun to play with , especially art— - archery girl , I like her." She pointed a finger towards you.
"She- They- aren't in my league." They responded back. "And you think you're in my league?" She said , moving her hand outside of the bars and pulling y/n closer to her by their holster that held their weapon on their back. "Where's green arrow when you really need him?" Y/n eyes narrowed as their tone becomes somewhat frustrated. "I don't." Cheshire grabbed the back of their head while pulling them close. "Are you sure about that...?" her tone being teasing.

Do u have a recs list for ppl wanting to know more about Jade? Pls and thx ❤❤
omg of course! happy to know that you want to learn more about her :) there will be some more recs under the cut, but imho, these are the absolute essentials:
new teen titans annual #2. her first appearance! honestly, a really fun way to get introduced to her. pretty low stakes.
the new teen titans (1984) #20-21. arguably the most important. it gives you the backstory on jade & roy's relationship, displays both her sense of morality and of justice, introduction to the "jade" vs. "cheshire" dichotomy, and we meet lian!
action comics (1938) the cheshire contract #613-618. another big story. this is how lian ends up in roy's custody.
batman plus arsenal (1997) #1. this isn't told from jade's pov but it is about her. really, it shows the lengths she's willing to go to save and protect lian.
the titans (1999) #21-22, #27, & #30. i have so many mixed feelings about this run which is in large part due to what it deals with, but i think it does a nice job of trying to humanize her despite dealing with qurac. it shows how the worlds of "jade" and "cheshire" are colliding now and give us a glimpse into how she's dealing with that.
now, before i even add this, let me preface this by saying that i don't think this run is particularly good. it is, however, the only story where we actually get jade's inner dialogue, which is extremely important because this takes place after lian's death. please bear in mind that she is grappling with depression and an immense amount of grief to the point that she is suicidal. the run is titans (2008) #24-38.
other stories that you can check out for fun: booster gold (1985) #16-17, wonder woman (1986) #94-95, batman: secret files (2018) #3, tales of the new teen titans (1983) #51-52. her appearances in birds of prey (1999) are fun reads for the most part, but they're more entertaining rather than necessary to understanding who jade is as a character. on top of that, i'd argue that dixon does a better job writing her than simone does, which says a lot (if you're familiar w/ either) and it doesn't say anything good. if you are interested, though, then the issues are #4-6, #28-30, and #63-67.
i would suggest staying away from any of her secret six appearances. like, i cannot emphasize enough how racist and misogynistic her writing is in that run. it is to jade what rhato is to roy in that it has contributed to some wildly misinformed takes.
