"I cant believe we're actually going on a mission with the Justice League!" Wally yelled
excitedly as the Young Justice team flew in the bio ship to the destination point where they would soon
meet their superiors. Apparently, all the major villains from Gotham were making trouble in a city
called Epona, and every hero was needed (despite Batman's protests).
After what seemed like an eternity, the glowing outline of Epona could be seen before them. It had a strange glowing red tint to it, and after closer inspection, a feint red barrier could be seen covering the city like a dome. M'gann brought her ship down near the city limits where Wonder Woman and Superman were standing, waiting for them.
"What's the news?" Robin asked as they all got off the ship.
"Criminals from all the surrounding areas led an attack on a prison here for an unknown reason. It was successful, to say the least, and they have taken over the entire city. We have reason to believe more than one genius is behind all this madness." Superman responded.
"Where are the others?" Kaldur spoke in a dark tone.
"Batman ordered everyone else to surround the city but stay out of sight and keep their distance. There is a force field covering Epona, as you can see, but it is strangely weak. Like they want us to attack. They're baiting us."
"They want something, don't they." Superboy said. Wolf growled by his side.
"Probably."
"So what's the plan?" Artemis asked, eager as ever to mess up some faces. Her tone was grave, though, which matched the mood. Everyone now knew how serious the situation was. Innocent people were stuck inside the city with a bunch of psychopaths.
"Zatara will break the barrier and everyone will attack at once from all sides. You all will be with us, making sure we get to that building over there." Wonder Woman pointed to a tall skyscraper almost dead center of the city. It glowed with a sort of strange darkness. An unnatural aura covered it like a blanket. "When we get there, you guys are ordered not to engage under any circumstances. We don't know who or what is up there. Understood?"
The team nodded and were send to their positions to wait for Zatara to work his magic. Eventually, a figure was seen floating up to the glowing red barrier and, with a flash of light, it shattered into nothingness.
"Now!" Superman shouted and they all sprinted into the city.
