AN: Hi, i'm back from the dead. I was finishing off my new chapter for my other story, and as i was reading back on the first chapters, i realised that my writing style had changed, so i thought i would rewrite all the chapters up to where my last story was up to. So with out further ado, here is the Prologue, and please let me know what you think :)

Disclaimer: I do not own Young Justice...

Prologue:

Bang. BANG. BANG! The gunshots sounded closer each time.

Damn it, how'd they find me so fast? Parker's head was spinning, crouching behind a desk, she thought back to the last few minutes, wondering where she had gone wrong. It doesn't matter, her inner voice told her. I just have to get out of here quickly, and leave a bang of my own. Parker grinned from ear to ear, she positively loved making explosions, big or small, she loved them all.

Parker, or Mayhem as most people knew her by, reached into her tool belt and pulled out a couple of different items. Keeping her ear out for the guards that were hot on her tail, she deftly assembled a mini gas bomb. People that knew Mayhem would say that she was terrifyingly good at assembling these particular bombs, there was even a rumour that she could make them while blindfolded with her hands tied behind her back, and only using a spoon and some jelly. (Parker knew that this was completely untrue and most certainly impossible, but as long as it kept her reputation alive, she didn't care.)

With the now assembled bomb in her hand, Mayhem stood and quickly ducked out of the room. As she made a mad dash down the hall way, she caught the attention of the guards. Mayhem lengthened her stride as she ran down the hall way, laughter bubbling up as she heard the guards panting behind her. She slowed to a stop as she reached her destination; a spot where the hallway split into two.

Bringing to mind the detailed map she had been forced to remember, she knew that the left hallway would bring her to a dead end, or the right would take her in a loop that would let her out behind the guards. In that moment, Parker decided that she was too tired to play cat and mouse for much longer, besides, she thought, I don't want to miss my ride.

Attempting to look confused, Mayhem flicked her head from side to side, her purple and green pigtails emphasising every move of her head. As she 'studied' the two hallways, she listened for the guards. When she thought they were close enough, she took off in a spring down the left hallway, straight to the dead end.

"Ha! We have her cornered. That's a dead end!" She heard the guards behind her. Mayhem knew that these military trained personnel would effectively corner her and take her down if they had the chance, but she wasn't going to give them one. She quickly reached the end of the hallway and she swiftly stuck the bomb on the wall. Taking a few cautious steps back he willed the bomb to hurry up. A hurried look over her shoulder revealed the first of the guards round the corner and drop onto their knees, rifles pointed directly at her.

Uh oh was Mayhems only thought. But just in time, her handmade bomb went off, knocking not only a Mayhem-size hole in the wall, but also releasing a smoke screen. As Mayhem climbed out the new exit, she let out a eerie cackle that would haunt the guards for years to come, but also reminded them of a particular grinning madman.

As Mayhem finished her climb onto the roof, a helicopter appeared, right on time she thought. With practiced ease, she attached the rope that had come down from the helicopter to her belt, and she was off flying through the night as she was slowly winched up. As she was almost up the top, a white gloved hand reached down to attach to her purple gloved hand. Mayhem looked up to see the grinning face of her mentor.

"Welcome back," her mentor said as He helped her into the helicopter. "Good to see my favourite princess isn't dead!" He finished with a cackle.

"Well I wouldn't be a very good protégé if I got myself killed, wouldn't you agree Mister J?" No matter how often she heard it, Joker's laugh always made her shiver.

Thanks for reading! Chapter one up soon!
