Young Justice: Infiltration
Written By: Blue Helix
The team was crowded around the large plasma screen TV in the cave. Superboy and Megan cuddled on the couch giggling as they fed each other popcorn, Wally had his arm around Artemis and kissed her on the cheek, Robin grasped Zatanna's hand and the pair shared a smile, Kaldur and Rocket stood beside each other and gazed into the TV screen. The new years festivities were still at foot, and people were dancing and cheering about the screen. Kat Grant was interviewing a more-than happy individual as the screen was taken over by the Dark Knight. He seemed to be in his usual serious manner, despite the recent victories of the team, and he spoke in a growl-like tone.
"Team, report to the briefing room and suit up you have 15 minutes."
The screen immediately shut off as soon as he was finished, the Team all sighed and moaned. Couldn't they have at least New Years to relax and celebrate? Kaldur immediately spoke up and took charge of the adolescent team.
"Despite our recent victory over the Light, we still have a world to protect. It is our job, and our role as heroes of this planet, now lets go."
The team jumped up to their feet and headed for their change rooms, all but Kaldur groaning and mumbling to themselves. Wally quickly threw on his uniform and sat down beside his younger dark haired friend, who was pulling up his pants.
"So you and Zatanna eh?" Wally said nudging Robin in the arm. The red haired boy laughed and teased the smaller boy, but was then interrupted and silent after the Boy Wonders remarks.
"So you and Artemis eh? I guess Kaldur and Megan were right all along." Robin cackled now throwing on his shirt and tying up his cape. Wally glared back at the Dark haired boy before dashing out of the room and into the massive circular hall where The Dark Knight, and Red Tornado stood. The other teammates were just running out of the change rooms at this point and into the briefing room. Batman pulled up the holo-computer and began a slide show of images.
"The Martian Man Hunter was able to recover all information from Red Arrows programming, within in this were locations of league of shadow outposts around the globe. Most likely apart of Vandal Savages Plan to posses the League, and Team. With this Intel you will infiltrate one of the larger outposts, and gather any information about the Light, and what else they had planned for us. The outpost is located 60 km due south of the Panama Canals, so I expect you to take extra care when infiltrating the base, we do not want any civilian casualties or to attract attention to you. That is all."
The Team departed from the room and headed towards the bio ship hangar. Megan motioned her hand and a door opened up from the back of the ship, the team made their way into the red vehicle and took off towards Panama. The flight took a few hours so the teammates had plenty to talk about.
"Aw man, can't Batman at least give us a break? We did save the world...Again!" Wally said angrily. Kaldur again took up his mantle of responsibility and took charge of the team.
"We are heroes, and are responsible for taking care of it. Was it not six months ago when we begged Batman for missions such as this?" Kaldur asked the Team and Wally especially.
Wally frowned and gazed out of the window.
"So whats our game plan?" Asked Robin, turning his chair around towards their Leader, the team following. Kaldur pulled up a map of the complex, courtesy of everyone favorite Cadmus archer, and began to explain his plan.
"Megan will take the Bio-Ship 30,000 feet above the complex. Robin, Artemis and Superboy will drop into the Complex from above."
"Joy!" Artemis said sarcastically.
"Kid Flash and Zatanna will orchestrate a distraction on the north sector of the base to draw attention away from Robin, Artemis, and Superboy's drop point. After they have landed they will proceed to extract all information from their central database, after they will all head for the roof for extraction, after we pick up Kid Flash and Zatanna."
"Drop point alpha 30 seconds." Miss Martian spoke. Zatanna and Wally both departed from their chairs and made their way towards the back of the ship. Robin quickly grabbed Zatanna's arm and whispered in her ear.
"I love you." He then let go and smiled at her, she smiled back and gave him a peck on his cheek before she turned to leave. Wally and Zatanna fell through a hole in the ship and made their way towards the North of the base. Back on the ship, Artemis smiled and teased Robin, after watching him and Zatanna's "Moment." The ship suddenly darted vertically and began it's ascension into the troposphere. As soon as the ship began leveling out, and Robin, Artemis, and Superboy headed towards the back of the ship and geared up into their respective wing-suits. Kaldur met up with the remainder teammates at the back.
"No unnecessary sacrifices to the team. If the mission is compromised, do not risk your lives to accomplish it. We are on our own out here, so stay whelmed." He spoke looking at Robin and smiling before the trio fell through the floor and into the dark morning skies.
