Young Justice: The Super Soldier 20 Decided Pt3 The Attack On Cap

In the s.h.i.+p, a man standing in a cargo bay was putting on his utility belt over a black suit with red and white stripes covering his gut in a triangle shape and a white star over his chest that was covered in blue this man was Captain America Aka Steve Rogers who was on his way to the team.

"Jarvis, talk to me," Cap said as he picked up his s.h.i.+eld.

"We are 6 minutes out sir, may I ask why did you stop at Wayne Tech?" Jarvis asked confused, the fact that Steve was always late seemed to vex Jarvis.

"Just a theory but I left a little something if it is correct." Cap said while grinning which confused Jarvis more "Anyway I hope Nyssa is okay."

"Sir you do know she's an a.s.sa.s.sin who has been trained since she could walk," When, Jarvis said this Cap felt a little embarra.s.sed.

"You're right it was stupid to worr-" just as Steve was finis.h.i.+ng his sentence a loud *Bang* on the side of the s.h.i.+p making it shake before causing red warning lights appeared s.h.i.+ning through the jet.

"JARVIS! WHAT HIT US" Cap yelled out but only to get silence not wasting time he ran towards the c.o.c.kpit only to notice the flight controls were destroyed, after few moments "Oh c.r.a.p" was only the only words that came before Cras.h.i.+ng into the ground making the jet do multiple flips before landing upside down.

Several minutes went by and Cap was hanging upside from his seat only to wake up by hearing voices outside what sounds like 2 men, 1 woman and 1 monster so without talking Steve slowly lifted his hand and pressed onto the side of his mask.

"Jarvis, connect me to the live feed with the working cameras outside." he ordered only to get static "Great..." realising no choice he unclipped his belt and dropped to the floor on his neck.

Not wanting to make a sound he endures the pain as he began to get up and walk to the hangar door only to hear the voices get louder.

"Well, who's gonna go first?" one of the men said.

"You're the one who shot the rocket so the honours are all yours," the woman said in a snarky tone.

"After what the boss said about this guy no way, after all, I'm better taking my shots from the distance," he said dismissing the woman's idea of going first.

"You need to grow a backbone, after all, we have to the big guy here with us," the other man said who had a deeper voice than the last.

"Good idea big guy you go first." which was followed by a gruntled monstrous voice.

While listening to this Cap already figured out who was talking thanks to spending a whole night listening to voice files by the criminal's therapy sessions in every major prison and Asylums, they were Deadshot, Lady s.h.i.+va, Bronze Tiger and who Cap could guess was Killer Croc.

Not wanting to give them the upper hand Cap pulled out what appeared to be a syringe before injecting himself in his leg, Cap eyes became dilated as he felt stronger than before and couldn't feel the pain he once felt.

Sounds of metal being crushed can be heard as the doors begin being wrenched open showing two hands with scales with a tremendous amount of strength crus.h.i.+ng the door when it was open a head popped into the s.h.i.+p with large teeth and yellow-greenish eyes with a black horizontal streak in the middle as the pupils.

"No one is her-" but before Croc could finish he got launched away into a tree in the far back of the group.

"What the?" Dead shot said as began aiming into the fallen aircraft but without saying another word he fired only to hear of him hitting metal.

s.h.i.+va and bronze tiger also began to get into a stance ready for battle, s.h.i.+va raising her sword and Bronze Tiger reading his metal claws, they both moved forward only to stop to see smoke coming out of the hanger doors before long smoke covered the crash zones ground.

Not caring Bronze tiger launched himself into the air aiming for the hanger only to get hit with a metal object knocking him back to the ground in pain with the object showing Caps s.h.i.+eld.

"What an Idiot he threw his s.h.i.+eld away," Deadshot said completely mocking Cap but before he could speak anymore multiple small discs. .h.i.t the side of his gun gauntlets and rifle before electrocuting him making causing Deadshot to drop his weapons.

"Fight me you coward!" s.h.i.+va steamed causing it to echo through the Aircraft.

"As you wish," a voice said behind her causing s.h.i.+va to quickly turn around to see Cap standing before her with a gaze she only saw in one man's eyes The Batman.

"Boo," Cap said causing the surprised s.h.i.+va to start attacking at full force casually throwing high kicks, punches, chops, leg sweeps everything only to get countered or dodged.

"ahh..uh" Croc grumbled as he began to get up, finally remembering what happened he roared and rushed into battle.

Seeing Croc rush in Cap done a leg sweep to s.h.i.+va before punching her disabling her from the battle for the time being but for Cap could get up he got tackled into the forest by Croc cras.h.i.+ng into many trees knocking them down.

Croc then launched himself and Cap into a large rock causing it to crack from the impact seeing but Cap continued to launch elbows into his back making The large Croc scream in pain, seeing Croc's grip loosening Cap Quickly took charge as he threw a knee to the jaw before going behind Croc and done a German suplex causing Croc to land his neck.

"Stay down Croc before this gets worse for you," Cap said as cracked his neck.

But Croc simply answered by throwing an uppercut to the jaw sending Cap flying into a tree breaking it, Croc grinned as he walked towards Cap as he got up and rested on the fallen tree.

Seeing Croc coming Cap could only sigh as he grabbed the tree swinging it towards Croc, like a baseball bat sending him flying again this time in the large cracked rock before dropping to the floor.

Cap began to rest as began to feel the effects of the syringe wear slowly wear off, but before he could relax a bullet through the left quadrant of his abdomen he screamed in pain but before he could get shot more he rushed behind a tree before sealing the wound with a type of freeze gun.

"Hey, Captain this is just gonna end way or another! Just give your self up so I can get paid." Deadshot called out but little did he know Deadshot just helped Cap place everything together.

Quickly taking deep breaths cap through more smoke pellets causing the area to erupt in smoke before running into disappearing, at first Deadshot was puzzled but decided to fire into smoke without another thought.

After multiple repeated gunfire the smoke settled showing no one standing nor body laying on the ground confusing Deadshot more but after a few minutes after waiting he began to sweat.

"Okay, where the h.e.l.l is you!" Dead shot yelled in frustration only to fall onto the ground before getting pulled away by a line dragging him through the dirt and old fallen logs before getting lifted into the air hanging by a tree.

"You think this can stop me!" He then Raised his body up aiming at the branch of the tree that was hanging him but when he shot it he landed straight onto the ground breaking his ribs as he screamed in pain.

As got up he got launched into the tree before getting pus.h.i.+ng repeatedly by Cap breaking his mask without wanting to wast this change Cap ripped the Gun Gauntlets of with the rest of weaponry he had held.

As Cap did that multiple daggers. .h.i.t his back at this point Cap could feel the pain the only thing that was keeping him going was the limitless energy.

"You are indeed impressive Captain but that gives me more reason to kill you," s.h.i.+va said in full confidence.

"Listen, lady, I'm really getting p.i.s.sed off so can we just call it a day?" Cap said looking back at s.h.i.+va who seemed to amused by his statement, Cap closes his eyes and sighs before continuing his battle.

Cap made the first move by throwing many discs at his surroundings while s.h.i.+va rushed towards him with a sword in hand after a few seconds the disc blew up knocking s.h.i.+va away creating distance.

But she simply got up and continued attacking the fight dragged on longer than their last bout, in fact, s.h.i.+va slashed away creating many deep cuts thanks to the already him being worn out, wanting to get rid of her sword Cap left himself open only to get stabbed through the gut which only added to his injuries but this gave him the chance to break her sword before knocking her out.

"Finally," Cap said as he began to stagger back to the s.h.i.+p with his ripped clothing only to see

Bronze tiger and Killer Croc standing prepared to fight again "OH COME ON!!" Cap calls out as Croc begin to walk forward.

12 minutes later...

The unconscious attackers are on the ground while Cap slowly started wobbling towards the hanger of the s.h.i.+p, the syringe effects have worn off a few minutes ago it was obvious that Cap is suffering from multiple broken bones and the wounds won't be healed for a hours at most but he didn't care after all he had a mission.

Cap began walking over to a metal suitcase, as he opens it he sees a suit completely different from what he usually wears, originally the armour was just for fun but seeing his armour is now destroyed he had no choice but wear it although he did add some stuff himself to it. (The endgame suit don't wanna describe sorry If you have a suit in mind tell me)

After suiting up Steve got on his bike and went to leave but not before a tied up all the attackers but he noticed s.h.i.+va was missing but instead of worrying about it Steve rode off rus.h.i.+ng to the team.

(the location I forgot and too tired to write)

Buoy Bells ding in the distance, while Artemis walks around behind the doctor Kid Flash sits on top of the computer tower. When the blonde comes to a stop and glances at him, he glares right back.

"Stop it, both of you!" Aqualad's telepathic voice cuts in and draws their attention away from the glaring contest that was about to begin.

"What?" both ask at the same time.

From within the bushes outside their location, Aqualad remains calm. "I can hear you glaring," he informs them. Then heads off towards the slight treeline. "Miss Martian, stay in camouflage mode and make a wide perimeter sweep," he instructs, but aloud.

The trees rustle behind him as a shadowy head appears. This one covered.

Aqualad is snagged by red vines before he could even hope to react and brought up with only a slight cry of shock. There are hits and grunts, leaves that fall to the ground below, but the attacker and now Aqualad are covered by the foliage.

Until he's kicked out and slammed hard into the side of a parked van, leaving a dent and him to rebound until he falls to the concrete. Looking up he sees the shadow leap out of the trees. As the a.s.sa.s.sin- Black Spider- lands in a crouch before the Atlantean he stands, only to get hit in the shoulder blades by a man with crane hook for an arm- accurately named Hook. It knocks Aqualad down and out.

Ches.h.i.+re flips beside his fallen body. "The Martian could return any second, and I'm not keen on evening their odds," she tells the men. "We end Roquette now." with that she's gone again.

In the single room building, Kid Flash is watching Roquette as she types, still hanging out on top of the computer tower. The doors burst open and from the doorframe, Black Spider flips out.

Kid flips to a similar position, but his left leg out to the side which allows him to stand and pick into a run with ease. Going to wipe out Black Spider's feet, but the man lives up to his chosen name. Flipping to the ceiling and clinging there. Before shooting red webbing at Kid Flash.

Who rolls out of them and towards the narrow cylinder trashcan which he throws at Black Spider to get him to drop back down to the ground. The a.s.sa.s.sin springs through his crouch, coming in with a cross that Kid Flash easily dodges and counter with a hit to the ribs.

Artemis goes to shoot the a.s.sa.s.sin when the gla.s.s window in the ceiling behind her shatters and Hook drops to the ground.

She changes her aim and shoots at the white-haired man, who dodges the shot, and the next three by diving between the pews.

Artemis knocks another arrow, while Roquette stops typing and turns to her. "Don't stop working," she instructs the doctor, before releasing the arrow. Roquette says nothing and turns back to the computer.

From the double windows, Ches.h.i.+re lines up an arrow it a crossbow. She releases it, but a desk is telekinetically put in the way of the shot. "Martian's here. It's now or never," she commands of Hook and Black Spider, ditching the crossbow.

Kid Flash runs at Black Spider, but the acrobatic a.s.sa.s.sin executes a sudden spin which places him under Kid Flash and able to kick him in the stomach and away with both feet. Finding his footing but as he went to shoot a circular object knocked him away into the wall.

The circular object began hitting the walls before hitting the grey-haired man sending flying but before Ches.h.i.+re could figure out what's going a man catches the circular object which appeared to be a s.h.i.+eld.

"Sorry I'm late i had to deal with something before coming here" The man was none other Captain America who again appeared late.

"Why are you always late?" The doctor said as her skin begun to change to green and her head turns around to see Ches.h.i.+re stunned "You know Batman and Aqualad aren't gonna be happy your late." she added as the Dr's real form was Miss Martian but soon she realized something was wrong with Cap but she focused on the mission

"I'll worry about that later but right now lets deal with Captain Hook here," Cap said as he fixed the strap of his s.h.i.+eld.

"We've been duped!" she calls out, both angrily and to alert both men working with her who was still on the ground from Caps surprise attack but both begun to get up.

At the Sandbar Internet Cafe is the real Doctor Roquette working on a computer as Aqualad stands guard. "I've almost got it," she tells him.

Meanwhile with Superboy and Robin

"The next target's a WayneTech Facility," Robin says, shocked as the camouflaged Bios.h.i.+p comes to a slow just outside the building. "In theory," now he has Superboy's attention, the clone can hear the emotions raging through Robin's voice. "it's system software could be used to hack the-" he cuts himself off.

"The what?" Superboy asks expectantly.

"Doesn't matter." Robin tries to brush off. "Wh-what matters is WayneTech. operates a 24-hour workforce. We'll never evacuate the building in time."

In the parking structure across the street, a dark grey van pulls into a parking s.p.a.ce. Inside is the Cyclops and the Fog. Which he quickly begins activating.

Miss Martian in her cla.s.sic form, levitating in the air a good four feet over Ches.h.i.+re and Hook's heads. "You'll never find Doctor Roquette," she tells Ches.h.i.+re with conviction.

"Never's such a long time." Ches.h.i.+re teases. "Pursuing target. Keep 'em busy," she calls out. Running off.

Hook launches his hook at Miss Martian to prevent her from following but before it could Cap grabs before wrapping the hook around his arm and pulling it launching Hook towards them which Miss Martian returns the favour by punching him launch back across the room but this time he simply gets up and attacks again.

Artemis is just starting to get her feet when Ches.h.i.+re runs by. She quickly gets back to her feet. "Pursuing their leader," she calls out, Kid Flash is still fighting Black Spider, blocking his punches, then managing across to the a.s.sa.s.sin's face and knocking him down. "Take the rest down." he watches the blonde run out the double doors.

"You are so not the boss of me." Kid calls after her, annoyed and purposefully dragging out the so.

"Just do it!" she snarls over her shoulder, not losing stride.

Behind his turned back Black Spider gets to his feet and throws his arms around Kid Flash so he can't move his arms. His left arm slides closer to the speedsters neck as his right-hand grips the ginger hair tightly.

Artemis follows Ches.h.i.+re outside the building, but the cat-themed a.s.sa.s.sin notices the lack of an unconscious Aqualad immediately. "Oh, I do not like being played." she murmurs to herself. The lenses of her mask light up and she can now see Aqualad's footprints as they lead down the road. She takes after them quickly.

Artemis stops in nearly the same spot Ches.h.i.+re did, knocking an arrow. Releasing it.

Ches.h.i.+re strikes it out of the air. "I was hoping it'd be you," she says, the smugness in her voice shows that smile on her mask is almost definitely on her face. Then she takes off down the street again.

Getting to the rooftops and running across them rather than on even ground with Artemis. She lands before two chimney stacks, but before she can make her way around them another of Artemis' arrows is released. This one sticking to the chimney on the left and releasing a purple gas. Causing the a.s.sa.s.sin to cough a few times before she loses a grip on her sais and falls unconscious with a groan.

Artemis lands in a crouch, bringing another arrow out of her quiver, stringing and bringing slight tension to it. When she's close, Ches.h.i.+re turns to her side, putting her hand underneath her body, and knocking Artemis' legs out from under her.

"Mask has built-in filters." the a.s.sa.s.sin taunts.

Artemis goes for the sidekick, which Ches.h.i.+re blocks with her arm, moving through the motion Artemis goes for a roundhouse to her head. She whiffs but gets back to her feet. Unfortunately, Ches.h.i.+re gets her hands locked behind her back and knocks her bow out of her hands.

"Better luck next time, kid." Ches.h.i.+re teases with ease despite the amount Artemis is struggling. She hits the archer in between the shoulder blades. Knocking her to the ground with a cry.

Aqualad hears a thump on the roof and immediately turns to Roquette. "We have company," he says tensely. (not that I can blame him if I had to watch her I'd be annoyed too)

"Uploading now," she says, typing even faster. "And by the way, you said you'd protect me." she snaps.

A singular sphere rattles its way down the dark hallway, coming to a stop just within the visible range. Before stopping and immediately releasing a smoke screen. Aqualad whips out his Water-bears quickly, forming solid swords in seconds. Roquette stands up beside him when nothing happens for a few seconds.

From behind his a ceiling panel is pushed loose.

Sensing something he turns, only to get three darts to the chest in rapid succession.

Ches.h.i.+re drops to the ground confidently. "Let's test the limit of you Jellyfish immunity, shall we?" she taunts.

Aqualad shakes his head in order to clear it before charging at the a.s.sa.s.sin. He strikes high with his right. Which she ducks under, then at where her face is now with his left. Which she tightly flips over. He strikes downwards, but she steps out of the way and lets his momentum throw him off balance. As he turns towards her she unleashes a roundhouse kick to his face. Which knocks him straight to his front on the floor. Both his Water-bearers losing their integrity and the tattoos dimming in unison.

"There, the limit tested," Ches.h.i.+re says simply. Then turns to Roquette. "Now, doctor, time for my appointment." she enunciates by bringing out a sai, which gets Roquette to cautiously move away from her.

All while the upload is being processed.

With the bios.h.i.+p still camouflaged Superboy and Robin wait by the opening back hatch.

"It's downloading," Robin informs, watching the progress on his hologlove.

What catches Superboy's attention is the sound of a van door opening. He recognizes the Fog's storage container instantly. "Don't need it!" he growls.

Jumping despite Robin's cry of "Superboy!" but the Boy Wonder can only watch as he jumps right at the cyclops.

Before he can reach him the man uses the grey control panel hanging from his shoulder to release a red laser beam at Superboy. Strong enough to knock him back and to the parking surface on his back. Unmoving.

The cyclops turns back to the container and releases the Fog.

"No!" Robin calls out, grappling to the nearest light pole then flipping to get to the next and land before the surface level of the WayneTech facility. A hole eaten through the double doors.

The security guard can only watch the cloud go by in shock. "What in the-" he cuts himself off as he sees Robin run past him. "Hey! You can't come in here!" yells at the not stopping Boy Wonder. Moving to grab his walkie talkie. "Unauthorized entry!"

The gated doors start coming down ahead of the Boy Wonder. "WayneTech override- RG4," Robin calls out.

The nearly closed gate rises giving him enough room to roll underneath and keep running.

Miss Martian manages to dodge the large hook as it comes back to its source, Once she's out of range she throws her hand out telekinetically moving the pews beside Hook, He obliterates the first one but barely manages to get the one that rises to his turned back.

Knowing she's vulnerable he turns and launches his hook at her once more, She spins away s it sticks to the ceiling. "We need to end this now," she tells him.

"On it!" Cap then throws his s.h.i.+eld at the chain of the hook breaking it making Hook defenceless before jumping into him with the high knee launching Hook into a wall soon Miss Martian then launches the broken hook at his head knocking him out

"Woohoo!" she says happily, aloud. "We got ours."

Meanwhile, The Speedster who was fighting Black Spider got distracted by Miss Martians cheering as the red webbing clings to his left shoulder, Looking over it for a mere second until he starts spinning at high speeds.

Black Spider is too shocked to be able to counteract it before he's whisked off his feet.

Kid Flash jumps, while still spinning, and lands a dual set of kicks to Black Spider's chest, breaking the webbing and sending the a.s.sa.s.sin back into a pew and breaking it with the force Kid Flash hit him.

"Hey, guys!" Kid Flash says trying to catch their attention, then tries to work against the webbing finding it not anywhere near budging. "Uh, a little help?"

Cap begins walking over to Kid Flash to help "Sure just give me a second-" but before he could make it he fell to the floor unconscious.

"CAP!" both Miss Martian and Kid Flash call out to in horror as they begin to rush towards him, even K.F started struggling out of red webbing to go to his friend's aid.

Miss Martian was the first to go to Cap's side as she desperately looks for a pulse after a few seconds she finally breathes in relief.

"is he ok?" Kid asks in concern which gets replied with a nod from Miss Martian "I don't get it he was fine a few seconds ago."

As Miss Martian looks over his body she notices blood coming from his mouth "He needs to go to a hospital and fast by the looks of it." She realized if they go to a hospital Caps ident.i.ty will become public "Kid, go ahead, I'll stay here and keep him stabilized."

Of course, he wanted to argue but decided against it since its awful timing so without another word, Kid ran off towards the direction of Kaldur and Artemis.

As soon as Kid left, Miss Martian hovered her hands over Caps body trying to use her abilities to stabilize him but she soon realized it was harder than she thought it would be until an unfamiliar voice came over the comm "Miss, A Backup jet is on its way it should be there in a few seconds."

Surprised Miss Martian began to question him "Who is this? How did you get on this frequency?"

He simply replied with "My name is Jarvis A advanced A.I built by Steven Rogers" when he said this Miss Martian eyes widened in surprise.

As she was about to ask more questions she could feel the ground shaking as the windows began to rattle "Please carry Mr Rogers into the aircraft since as you can see indisposed, "

Miss Martian then used her telekinetic powers lifting him off the ground towards outside only to see a s.h.i.+p that landed on the road she was surprised at first but realized it wasn't the time to stare in amazement as Cap was slowly dying.

She then went into the aircraft with Cap as it closed its doors and took off into the sky away from Happy Harbor.

Ches.h.i.+re continues to back the nervous doctor up, away from the unconscious Aqualad. Grabbing the front of her s.h.i.+rt elicits a gasp from the doctor as she closes her eyes, expecting her end. Before that, she looks to the computer with the download progress showing.

Ches.h.i.+re c.o.c.ks her head and follows the woman's gaze. Just as the bar shows full download and the computer beeps in agreement, The a.s.sa.s.sin turns back to the doctor." So you've finished the virus," she states. "eliminating the reason for your elimination," despite her words her sai is getting closer to the doctor's neck and face. "though not your entertainment value." she gets right in front of her and watches as the blonde's eyes go wide. The sudden release of her grip sends the doctor to the ground, "Lucky for you, my orders are clear, You live to program another day, After all, doctor, Shadows may find another use for you." she s.h.i.+es away from the a.s.sa.s.sin, the final statement more terrifying than any proceeding it.

At the WayneTech. Facility the Fog is still running rampant, but Robin is fully focused on the download status of the virus, Once it's fully uploaded to his hologlove the result is instantaneous. The screen of the computer he's logged into goes red.

Inside the computer, the Fog Bots turn red mere seconds before exploding.

Robin turns to watch as the Fog Cloud behind him turns red before disappearing, The woman behind the counter breathes out a sigh of relief.

"Yes!" he cheers, clutching his unoccupied hand, "The infiltrators have been outfiltrated!"

The Cyclops can only watch as the Fog turns red before disappearing, What catches his attention is the fact that Superboy is standing once more and walking towards him, Reacting he shoots another beam at the clone.

Superboy grunts as he blocks it with his forearm, but is able to charge ahead as he blocks most of the beam. Some smaller ones still hitting him, but not enough to hinder his movements.

Gritting his teeth he faces the source, pus.h.i.+ng harder despite the pain, Once he's close enough he fully faces the man, then reaches out with his hand and stops the beam from even leaving the helmet, The backlash knocks the man into the side of the van and limply to the ground.

Ches.h.i.+re walks out of the Sandbar Cafe. Only to be stopped as four of Artemis' arrows land before her and explode quickly.

Her mask falling off and out of the smoke.

As it clears she's on her hands and knees, her back to Artemis' taut bowstring and very sharp arrow tip. She subtly pushes up, but Artemis sees it. "Don't move a muscle." the archer snarls.

Despite the warning, Ches.h.i.+re stands. "Wow." she murmurs, turning to face Artemis over her shoulder, Her eyes open to reveal the same murky, dark, expansive brown as Artemis' own. "I am completely at your mercy.

Artemis' eyes widen slightly as she gasps, "You."

"I suppose now you bring me to Justice. Let your new friends interrogate me." she taunts. "I wonder if your position's secure enough to survive them learning everything I know." There's a long pause where neither of them so much as breathe. Then, Artemis silently lowers her bow. "Didn't think so." she starts backing up, smoke curling around her. "So like the Ches.h.i.+re Cat, I'll just disappear." with that even her shadow has gone missing.

The smoke stays for another moment then it too, disappears.

Aqualad pants as he's mostly supported by Dr. Roquette as she helps him out the door. "Artemis, where's the a.s.sa.s.sin?" he questions.

"She, uh- she got away." she stutters out quietly.

However, Kid Flash finally arrived at the scene with a face of distress as calls out "Cap's badly injured, we need to go." catching everyone's attention.

Aqualad becomes worried as he asks "What" yanking out a dart from his chest "Happened?" he finishes, yanking out the last dart as he steps closer towards the two without Roquettes support but the doctor remains close

"Thats the thing he just Collapsed out of nowhere, Miss Martian is already on her way to the base with him" Kid said trying to ease the situation.

Aqualad took a sigh of relief as he looks down and his eyes showed his confused state, a small smile on his face as he recognizes it instantly "Her mask?" he questions "Artemis, did you see her face?"

"It was dark." Artemis defends, as she walks away from the groups looking towards the bay.

"It is fine." Aqualad a.s.sures as he reads her body language since she won't say anything. "Robin and Superboy neutralized the Fog, and Dr. Roquette is safe, thanks in no small part to you," She glances over her shoulder before fully turning to face him.

"Welcome to the Team."

She gives a small smile in return.

Aqualad steps up before her and offers his hand. After a slight hesitation, she takes it.

Artemis also offers her hand towards Kid, who didn't want to argue anymore since Cap so he decides on taking it, Though he does look at it the whole time like he thinks it's going to either explode or eat him.

Gotham City; August 9th; 1:16 EDT

An out of order telephone booth glows gold, as it shuts off Artemis opens the doors. Looking around as she walks into the center of the alleyway. Her eyes narrow as she looks to her right blindspot. Spinning tightly she crouches to her knee, aiming her bow at the shadowy figure whose only noticeable features are their bright-white eyes. "Step into the light." she demands, her arm shaking slightly from the effort of holding her drawstring back so long and moving into that position so quickly. "Now."

Nonchalantly Red Arrow does "Nice move." he says with a slight scoff as he walks towards her. Artemis releases the drawstring, and stands up, "Almost made me believe you are Green Arrow's niece," he says a resentful tone to his words as he stops before her. "though we both know you're not." Artemis glares, "Still, I'm sure G.A. and Bats had a reason for lying, so your cover's safe." he leans down and into her personal s.p.a.ce. "But I warn you: do not hurt my friends." he practically growls, Then walks away.

Behind his turned back Artemis' shoulders sag.

Meanwhile

"Report." a voice demands.

The old man's eyes open, sitting in the center of a semicircle with Light Screens above his head. "Masters, before Ojo's capture he transmitted the STAR Labs data you required, but the WayneTech intel still eludes us.

"Once again the young... heroes interfere." L-2 states. "So it's fortunate that we have an operative... on the inside." the old man smiles dreadfully.
