Disclaimer: I do not own any of the Justice League's ideas or characters, they belong to the various writer and artists. I also do not own any of the modern references I use. However, I do own the Soul Society, who are based on my heroes on City Of Heroes, I do not own COH.

LadyR: Hey y'all, I'm rewriting my old JLU story, because I can, the story will not be edited on my previous account and any updates will solely be made through LadyRasafras. I will be making many references to events in the comics, so it's kinda me combing the cartoon and comics, or at least recreating them in the cartoon. Woooo.

I use OCs, but don't worry all you purists; they're not the center of this. This is just the first 'episode'.

Reviews, comments, and criticisms are totally welcome. Unless the criticisms are unfounded, flaming, and don't help me at all.

LadyR (From the original chapter 2): For any that read my story before, I changed my character's name from Trinity to Lady Nether and enhanced her secret identity a bit. I'm getting some pretty good ideas on some of the future 'episodes' of JLU Continued. For example Catwoman meets Wonder Woman, Batman love triangle! (:D) Probably a story involving Question and Huntress, probably another to resolve the Shayera John issue. Stuff with Teen Titans. Random invasions of doom? Multi-universe stuff!

Anyway, don't like where the comics have been going so I'm still completely following the animated universe (even if I can't stand Terry) and will just recreate events I liked with my own twists.

Reviews, comments, and criticisms are totally welcome. Unless the criticisms are unfounded, flaming, and don't help me at all.

THIS IS NOT SUPPOSED TO BE A PINNACLE OF LITERATURE.

"There are many individuals across the world that are in possession of so-called 'super powers', whether by magic, technology, science or even the occasional extraterrestrial, these people call themselves superheroes. These 'superheroes' are banded together into the Justice League, although this . . . Justice League has helped Earth many a time, it is still not seen if they are truly for the good of our planet."

The commentary continued as the TV it was coming from fluttered at the front of the grocery store. A slim woman watched the news report as a cashier bagged her groceries, consisting of rather healthy food with an odd amount of junk food among it. "Here you go Ma'am."

"Thank you." The woman mused as she took the bags and headed towards the door, shaking her head as she thought of the stupidity of the media. To her it was ridiculous. Then the space around her seemed to shift and glitter, a bright light surrounded her body and she heard a sound she didn't recognize it yet, "What the fu-"

(Cool Transition)

"We've got a problem…" The African American superhero stated, walking down the hallways. Metal surrounded him at every side as well as dozens of heroes, nearly everyone was in the League at this point, sometimes it gave him hope, and sometimes it made him worry about the power that they held.

"So what else is new," Wally West aka The Flash asked cheerfully in his usual tone, only to get green eyes narrowed at him as John Stewart aka The Green Lantern glared at him. So maybe joking at this point was not a good idea, but in all reality, there was never a time when the world wasn't going to end or some superbad had a new plot.

"I'm serious. Superman and Batman are talking in the other room, there's going to be a mecha invasion, soon." John was using his serious voice, but he always used his serious voice, he was such a serious guy, much the opposite to-

"Robots? I love smashing robots!" Wally said in an excited, almost childlike, tone. Only to get a big green baseball glove over his face. Oh, the joy of being buddies with the Green Lantern.

"Shh! You idiot, we're not talking big about it, and we're definitely not letting the public know. So listen carefully. Now the bots are fueled by magic so…"

Green Lantern continued to talk as Clark Kent and Bruce Wayne talked in the conference room created for the original founders. The ones who saved the world at least a dozen times, and made the world safer by uniting all heroes, not that they weren't under constant fire about it. "I'm not sure this is a good idea Clark," Bruce Wayne, The Batman, stated in his usual dark and suspicious voice.

"Look, Bruce," Clark Kent, Superman, started, "If we do this then we'll not only have a good opposing force that won't alarm the rest, but we'll finally talk to them about joining the League." Blue eyes looking out the clear window at the league, it was an almost fatherly look underlined with worry that stared at his comrades and he crossed his arms.

"I still don't like it, they're not like us." Bruce mused, fully aware of the irony of what he was saying. Though he knew this was a losing argument, usually Clark was diplomatic, but sometimes he was just as stubborn as any human.

"I trust their leader, and thus them all, with my life," Another male voice mused, a slightly mystic edge to it. The man was behind them, almost hidden by the shadows, and all of them were aware of the power of that statement.

Clark and Bruce both turned to Doctor Fate. "If Fate trusts them I trust them," Clark made as his final statement on the matter.

Bruce simply shifted, wrapping his cape around him, his version of sulking that he lost the argument. "Whatever."

(Cool Transition)

"Well, ho~~~wdy, looks like we got ourselves some new recruits." Greg Saunders aka Vigilante stated to the knight he was both sitting and playing cards with. Vigilante was also winning. With a roll of his eyes and a frown at his cards Justin Arthur aka Shining Knight also looked over the room to observe the unfamiliar heroes.

"Wouldn't be sure about that if I were you," Ollie Queen aka Green Arrow said as he sat down with them, pausing to look at Justin's cards. "Fold. Those over there are the Soul Society."

Greg raised an eyebrow, pushing back his hat with his thumb. "Soul Society? Is that just a really bad pun or somethin'?" It did sound a little funny, Soul Society, Sole Society; Wally had even snickered a bit.

"No, it's the name of their little group, I hear they use to travel dimensions until they could find one where this sorceress chick wouldn't come and try and kill them, they usually don't involves themselves with fighting unless it's in their own little town, and when they're here, I worry." Superheroes were human (mostly) too; they tend to gossip just as much as the rest of them. They especially like to gossip about other heroes.

But of course, Sir Justin would not lower himself to such immorality. Crossing his arms, "So who are these fighters for justice?"

Ollie grinned as he adjusted in his seat, thrilled that he got to show off the information he had got from Black Canary, who had gotten it from Oracle, who in turn got it from the Bat himself, well more like his detailed files about just about everyone known to man. "The tall, Asian one is Miss. Yang, a Japanese katana and martial arts master, I hear she could give you a run for your money," Ollie smirked as Shining Knight coughed at that challenging statement, "And there are rumors she's from way ancient Japan, like shoguns and stuff." Miss. Yang was dressed in a rather modern adaption of Japanese robes and her gray hair was clipped into a messy bun with chopsticks. Gray eyes stared straight ahead with a cold energy glittering behind them; a rather un-Asian gypsy-like veil covered her lower face. "The really short, blond kid is Techno Wiz; in short he's just your average genius." Techno Wiz was wearing some regular civilian's clothes with bulges under them, probably technological stuff. There were also weird mechanical goggles covering the top of his head, spiky blonder hair stuck out around it and warm brown eyes darted around the room in excitement, he was clearly full of energy. "Now the blue skinned woman is Unknown Glory, she's another alien and has claws that can go straight through titanium," The tight sky-blue suit she was wearing seemed to blend in with her almost aquamarine skin, a slim face was framed with short, dark blue hair and gold eyes that glowed like a wild animal. "Now the other guy is Clairvoyance, he's just another telekinetic mind reader magic guy," There was a familiar indifference on the man's face, the sort of indifferent mask most with his powers gave off, he, too, was wearing civilian clothes (though covered with paint stains) with a baseball hat covering straight brown hair, green eyes glanced over at them and narrowed as the expression turned to a frown.

Greg just waved, and Clairvoyance looked away, "And the other woman?" Motioning a hand to the woman in back, urging them ahead, she was wearing a black trench coat over a band t-shirt and jeans. Long, brown hair was pulled into a pony-tail and big, obnoxious sunglasses covered most of her face. A few plastic bags hung at her side, cereal, vegetables and other food items poked out from the bags.

"That's Lady Nether, she's their leader the way I hear it, and she has power over the dark."

"Dark as in shadow powers, like a dark Starfire or something?" Greg asked, putting his feet on the table and earning a glare from Justin.

"Starfire's an alien," Justin corrected sounded bored, "This woman seems to be a magic user."

"I hear it's like netherworld energy. It's assumed she was in some sort of magic ritual that attached the energy to her."

"Ooo creepy- wait, where the heck d'you hear all this from? No way gossip has this much information." Greg leaned forward, resting his arms against the table.

"I have sources, and a close friendship to one of the best hackers in the US." Ollie said, sounding arrogant and annoying.

"He asked me to have Oracle pull up Batman's files on them," Dinah, Black Canary, stated as she walked by, giving Ollie a look. Ollie got up and was going to follow her, but she gave him another look and a frown.

"Ok, ok, I bow to your powers of persuasion. I'll see you tonight!" He yelled loud enough that a few other tables looked over and made noises, laughs, howls, the such. Dinah simply blushed, made a threatening motion at him and quickly stomped off.

"Figures the Bat would have that much information on them; I wonder what he has on me."

Justin frowned, looking at their attire. Considering it was all almost all civilian's clothing he was a little suspicious. "Looks like they didn't come very prepared."

"I wonder what'd draw their entire team to our homey little space station."

Green Arrow saw, out of the corner of his eye, Flash and GL both answer their com links at the same time then walk off towards the conference room. "No kidding…"

(Cool Transition)

"Everyone this is the Soul Society," Clark said in his usual kind voice, Wally snickered (again) behind John at their name. "We've recently been aware of a threat in Europe of an unknown source of magic powered robots… and because of certain political problems at this point, and a few people do not want many of the Leaguers involved; we needed to look for outside help. Which is why they are here-"

"We've been trying to contact your group for quite a while," J'onn aka Martian Manhunter stated, facing their team, some might take it as animosity; most didn't knowing it was just how the alien was.

"We didn't want you to contact us," Miss. Yang said with a heavy Japanese accent, her eyes glaring daggers at them all.

"It's a silent pact we've made with you," Lady Nether started, a scowl on her face as she crossed her arms, to be honest, aside from this she hadn't seemed like the leader. "You don't bother us, we don't bother you. I thought we had an understanding, a peaceful one, and then you transport us here, without asking us. Now you're 'asking' us for our help, perhaps the rumors of you being power hungry dictators are true." Lady Nether, also, spoke with an accent, one that Batman was picking his brain trying to put his finger on.

"Yes, we would like your help," Clark was trying to be diplomatic and good-natured, it was easy for his friends to see, but they had done something rather stupid. "Almost as much as we'd like you to join the league."

"No," Unknown Glory abruptly said with an untraceable accent as well, which was common for most aliens. "How many times must we say this to you?"

"Don't be rude Glory, they brought us here with all this wonderful machinery," Techno Wiz said, looking like he wanted to take everything apart.

"Bobby, just don't touch anything," Clairvoyance snapped as he glared over the electronic enthusiast at the founders.

Techno Wiz, now known as Bobby, gave a dramatic gasp, "You gave away my secret identity! How . . . how could you Josh."

"Oh, please, they probably already know our names, why deny it ….don't you?" Josh crossed his arms and looked pointedly at Batman.

"…" The question was met with silence as some of them looked at each other.

"Yes we do," Bruce said coldly, glaring back at Joshua Rayne, telepaths bothered him somewhat.

"The feelings mutual," Josh stated, raised an eyebrow as he gave Batman a sneer, brave, brave man he was.

"If we're not hiding it anymore, then, OhmygodIloveyourbookssomuch," Wally said in five seconds as he was already next to Lady Nether shaking her hand faster than the speed of light.

"Um, thank you?" Lady Nether managed to cough out as her arm moved faster than most airplanes.

"Wally let her go, you might break her." Shayera ordered in a bored tone, crossing her arms and focusing on a wall, like she did a lot these days.

"But Faith Cathleen books are some of the best selling urban-fantasy romance novels on the shelf for the last three years!" A childlike frown ( D: ) was on his face as he let go of the women, who instantly began to rub her arm, and raised an eyebrow at Miss. Yang whom simply snorted.

"Did he just say urban-fantasy romance?" John asked, glancing at his teammates.

"He sure did." They all smirked at the Flash, who was very quickly humiliating himself.

Josh sighed, raising his arms slightly as he put his hands in a questioning motion. "Isn't there a big bad invasion going on that we're supposed to help with?"

"Yes, there is, now we can't send any of the founders cause then the league will be in to their necks but we can send some of the other members…"

"Don't think we can handle it?"

"That's not it…"

(Cool Transition)

The announcer crackled as it turned on and announced, "Would Vigilante, Shining Knight, and Green Arrow report to Javelin Bay Three."

The three, still at the table, now gossiping about The Question and Huntress, looked up and got a few comments from some of the other heroes. "Ooo, hey, somethin' to do, well let's hop to it."

The three quickly made it to the bay, Ollie grabbing his bow and such before they entered. Walking in to see Superman, Green Lantern and the Soul Society they had such fun gossiping about.

This is when Ollie shifts awkwardly and moves a few feet to hide behind the other two.

"Ok, to make a long story short, we need non members to help, big problem in Europe, magic robots, this is the Soul Society. SS, this is Vigilante, Shining Knight, and Green Arrow. Guys, this is Lady Nether, Miss. Yang, Techno Wiz, Clairvoyance, and Unknown Glory. Now there's information on the mission in the Javelin, so go!" Green Lantern could talk fast when he wanted to, and he still sounded like a General. Superman waved at them, wishing them luck.

It didn't take long for them to get all their equipment onto the Javelin. "One of you can fly this thing, right?" It was more of an ice-breaker then an actual demand, Lady Nether didn't think the League was quite that stupid.

"Yes ma'am," Vigilante replied taking his seat at the controls, pushing his hat back a bit as he did so. Making a few checks before starting the engine, Greg grinned under his mask at the lights blinking; boy he loved flying this big hunk of metal.

The SS members sat down silently and quietly talked amongst themselves, the previous ice-breaker hadn't caused much talking, so they seemed happy enough to keep conversations between the Leaguers down. They shifted slightly as the Javelin took off from the Watchtower. Shining Knight looked over at Miss. Yang from his seat, "So you are a blade wielder?"

Miss. Yang opened an eye long enough to look uninterested before closing her eyes again "Yes." For most that would have made the conversation stop and the other person go 'what a b'.

Justin wasn't that smart. "Where is your sword?" It was back with his Arthurian honor, warriors don't leave their swords behind.

Miss. Yang sighed before she replied, "Matsudai is not a normal katana, she is a spiritual weapon that transcends time and does not need to be held physically at my side to be drawn."

The three Leaguers just kind of blink, glanced at her and stared, except Greg who went back to flying. "I think us Justice Members all want to know…. huh?"

"Kin," Faith said, the single word seemed to make the Japanese women shift and roll her eyes, whether it was a request or a scolding was undetectable in her tone.

"Yes, yes," Looking at Justin directly, "I shall show you," Miss. Yang, now known to be Kin, raised her hand, there was a dull flash of light and a katana was lightly in her grasp. It was a beautiful blade, adorned with purple, blue and green designs on its hilt and sheath.

Once again, silence was the only thing escaping from the Leaguers. Awkward. Then the Javelin jumped a bit and Greg remembered he had to fly it.

Kin smirked at Justin's expression, and it soon disappeared less elaborately. The silence was broken by Bobby, "What a great transportation machine," Bobby stated as he looked over its design, running his hands across the hull, a rather intimate smile on his face.

"No, don't even think about it Bobby," Josh snapped, clearly the least happy of the lot, everything he said sounded angry.

Bobby made a single motion of irritation, "Josh, you stay of out my mind, what if I dumped all your dirty little magazines out in the open?"

"This is going to be a long mission," Oliver said to himself stretching in his chair, the belt pulling against his green uniform as he tried to get comfortable.

Lady Nether spared him a soft smile, "You have no idea."

"So, as long as we're all in this together what say we get to know each other?" Bobby asked cheerfully as he plopped down in one of the empty seats, not bothering to buckle up.

"Robert!" Unknown Glory snapped, glaring at him, she was a personal person and didn't like the human need to know each other.

"I'm just saying, look Narsesis, we use each other's names constantly, when I'm in the middle of battle I won't have the time or think quick enough to yell 'Green Sparrow', so why not know each other's names, especially if we're going to join their League."

"That's Green Arrow."

"Faith?" The SS looked over at their leader, it was her word now and they wouldn't question it.

"Kid's got a point," Greg started, really wanting the tension to end because he didn't have the self-control to only concentrate on flying while arguments went on behind him, his attention span wasn't that good. "Well then, Greg's the name, nice to meet y'all and I say we still got ourselves a nice 25 minute trip going for us."

Faith simply sighed and gave a small nod of her head as she gave the ok for the idea. "Alright then, I'm Faith, that's Bobby, Josh, Kin, and Narsesis." The alien, Narsesis, did not seem to be pleased with the situation.

"Call me Ollie." Arrow said yawning; he wasn't the type of sink into tension or private battles.

"Humph, I am Sir Justin, not that it matters now."

"Aw, don't be a party pooper Knight," Greg laughed from the front.

"I'm not pooping any party Vig nor do I think of this as a party…"

A few laughs floated through the air, leave it to the socially inapt one to lighten the mood a bit.

"You know, the League's been trying to get you guys to join for quite a while, seems to be causing a few problems for the big shots," Ollie stated, glancing at them one by one, it's not like he cared, he remember when they tried to get him to join as well, they liked having everyone in one box.

"Oh, please, the biggest shot flies around in blue and red spandex, we're the least of his worries," Faith snorted and glanced out one of the small windows at the sky, the light reflecting off her sunglasses.

"Now, that ain't nice, quite a few fly folks around in stranger suits." Greg mused, though spandex wasn't his thing. Not that he didn't approve, he definitely liked Donna Troy's little black number.

"Speaking of which, you don't seem very prepared considering your garments." Justin stated, looking at the outfits.

Another sigh emerged, "Look aside from Kin carrying her veil with her everywhere and Bobby with his equipment, we got nothing. I was grocery shopping (cause no one else does it you jerks)," That one was followed with a glare at the men, "Josh was fixing the roof, UG was at the base (that's why she's dressed), Kin was at her dojo and Bobby was doing god knows what he does in his free time. How the hell were we supposed to know the next minute we'd be transported to the JL headquarters?"

"Did the same to me…..at least I was prepared that time though," Ollie said smirking. Though it hadn't been that bad and he didn't mind anymore, if it was Dinah doing the kidnapping that is.

"Oh, shut up, Robin Hood," Kin snapped watching Bobby get up from his seat and head to the back, probably to check out all the designs or whatever he does.

"Robin Hood…why is it always Robin Hood? I AM NOT FRICKIN' ROBIN HOOD!"

"You do dress like him," Justin pointed out with a shrug. "And you use a bow and arrows."

"It's the hat." Faith mused, looking at his outfit up and down.

"GYYAAAAAAHHHHHHH! THERE'S A HORSE BACK HERE!" Bobby yelled, panicked.

"Ah yes my steed."

"DUDE, IT HAS WINGS!"

"What are you reading?" Narsesis asked Faith, the both of them ignoring the yelling between heroes.

"The mission description.." She replied reading over the data pad, pressing some buttons to scroll down. "Looks like a lot of people want this quiet. So we'll have to find the base first, find out whatever information we can about them and if they're a part of an organization or if this is just a onetime situation. They probably have these magic robots as guards. So, of course, more fights then we're most likely want, so I recommend two groups of four, Josh, Shining Knight, Vigilante and me on one team and Bobby, Kin, Ollie and Narsesis the other one. Now we're the more obvious melee group on this end so we'll take the higher risk areas, you guys go after the controls and information."

"I don't recall anyone making you the leader here."

"I don't recall anyone making anyone leader here, I'm at least making a plan of action. So if you have a problem with that cowboy, let's see you make a better plan."

Ollie whistled, "The girl's got some fire."

"No ma'am, I don't have a better plan, so go ahead with your's, and I sure hope it works 'cause we're about to arrive at the destination."

(Cool Transition)

A majority of the riders approached the front of the javelin, looking out to see what sort of area they were about to land in. "So how are we going to land this obnoxious heap of metal without being seen?" Kin asked first as she looked out at the, though large, rather normal looking base.

"Like this," Greg pressed a few buttons and the Javelin went into its stealth mode. To the outside world the javelin flickered and blended in with the scenery around it.

Running a hand across the metal walls Bobby whistled with a doggish grin, "Wow the government would be thrilled about this."

"Eh, what the government doesn't know won't hurt them." Greg mused as he pressed commands into the controls, preparing to land.

Faith leaned towards the command, looking over the grid map of the surrounding areas. Short nails tapped on the grid, pointing at the area. "Land those woods over there."

Greg just looked annoyed, this reminded him a little too much of Hawkgirl's habit of ordering him about. Vixen too, and Canary, and Wonder Woman, and the list goes on. "Well, lookie here we got ourselves another backseat driver."

"Just land." Rolling his eyes at the cool look she gave him in response, he vaguely mused to himself how there were very few demure female superheroes. A majority of them could kick his ass, the rest acted like they could. What happened to sugar, and spice, and everything nice?

With a sign Faith felt the slight bump as the javelin landed as smoothly as Greg could manage. She glanced at her team, then at herself, rather annoyed that very few of them had their equipment. It was weird seeing Josh without his staff, affectionately named Nadine, at his side. They caught each other's eyes and he grinned at her, saying with his hands he was thinking the same thing. Scratching her neck as she said something in another language and a black circle appeared around her feet and black energy crackled around her. Soon it surrounded the woman and her street clothes disappeared, revealing that the brown hair was just a wig and that underneath it was full black hair. Black pants and tube top formed her costume, they were made of an unknown material but it did shimmer nicely when you looked at it in certain directions. A simple eye mask covered the top of her face and she leaned over to adjust her boots. "Ok let's go."

Josh nodded and clapped his hands together, there was a shift in the air as though he split something and a quick flash of light blinked in the javelin. A deep purple cowl surrounded him completely; his face deep in shadows that only the glow from his now white eyes could now be seen.

The team unstrapped themselves and quickly left the javelin. Once they were outside Faith turned to face them all. "Now then, if the data is right it's a mile up north, so let's split up and go."

(Cool Transition)

Quietly Faith, Josh, Shining Knight, and Vigilante went in one direction. The one in which they didn't bother hiding themselves. "Now, look here Missy," Faith's eye twitched at this new name that she did not appreciate. "This is a pretty basic mission, so why we splitting up like this?" Once again Greg found himself being left out of the loop. No one ever told him any of the big plans and it was beginning to irritate him. Sir Justin glanced over at him, then at Faith.

Stopping Lady Nether turned and glared at the Vigilante, though even with her mask on he was pretty sure she was glaring at his hat and not his face. "Ok, you back talking western. Because you see this is a base and bases have these things called like guards. Now any way we do this….We are going to be seen, King Arthur and Robin Hood would probably make sure of that." Sir Justin looked like he was going to snap for a moment but ignored her and was probably counting to five in his head. "Now if we go in one big group then there is a chance they are going to get to the data and destroy it before we can get to it. Now if we split up and our group can cause a commotion on one end then they won't think there's another group, so then they can get to the data before it's destroyed. Now did you get that or do I need to odd a southern drawl?"

"Faith, leave the poor cowboy alone and you said now about four times in a row, we have work to do." Josh said and grabbed Faith's arm hard enough that she would look at him. "We don't need to waste time arguing."

"Hmmpf. Dang dictator chick, I ain't got no reason to listen to you." Greg muttered under his breath.

"Double negative."

Greg halted, giving Faith a weird look. "Beg pardon?"

"You used a double negative," Faith stated, giving Greg a rather casual look. "You actually said you don't have a reason to not listen to me."

The weird look shifted from Faith to Josh, or at least towards Josh, couldn't see him at all with his cloak covering him completely anyway. "She's an author." They just kept walking towards the base, it still seemed normal but as they got closer the ground looked faker. "Hey Faith if we're the offensive then why the knight and not Narsesis?" Josh asked as they ducked behind some trees, sensing that there was some sort of camera nearby, they'd stay there until they got the signal from the other team.

"Because then two sword users would be in that group, too similar styles. Besides, you know Kin doesn't play well with others."

"Well, she seems to have things well in hand," Justin stated more to himself then to Greg as he intended,

All he got from the cowboy was a snort, "You can call it what you like. But I call it the attitude of a dictator."

(Cool Transition)

A guard paused for a minute to brush something off his pants. He was completely unaware of the arrow that was pointed at his head, an arrow that would knock him out and cause a few painful repercussions later. A hand rested on the long, green bow and moved it down with a smooth push. Oliver gave the Asian woman an irritated glare from behind his mask. "Look, I got a clear shot of that guy. Why not hit him and strip him of any information or codes?" With that statement Ollie glanced back around the corner of the dull hallway to make sure the guard wasn't heading in their direction before returning to his 'I'm right and you're not so let me do my job' glare.

Kin stared back at him evenly, thin lips pressed into a line from behind her veil. "That would be because our group is the incognito one. We don't want them to know about us till we're already gone. And if you hit that guy they'd realize he was gone before we're done."

The guard casually went back on his patrol, blissfully oblivious of any of the danger he had previously been in. The guard was one of the few that wouldn't be suffering from a severe headache later on in the day.

Ollie slipped the arrow back into his quiver, a rather obvious frown of dissatisfaction on his face. "Sheesh, hey, Bobby are all the girl's in your little Society as bossy as they seem?" At first he had been amused that the leader was irritating Vigilante and that Miss. Yang offended something in Shining Knight's eccentric rules of conduct. Now that he had to deal with it, he wasn't as amused. He already had Dinah deeply rooted in his life, like he needed anymore tough females kicking him around.

After opening one of the wall's panels, finding one of their main access panels and pulling out some of the wires with the ease of skill Bobby pulled back his sleeve to reveal a rather mechanical looking arm. Opening a panel on his arm Bobby shot Ollie a sad look, "Oh. You have no idea," Twisting the wires into his arm so that the two panels were connected. "Just try living with them…." Fingers moved quickly as he tapped the keys on his arm and then a few commands into one of the wall's control units. "It's always: Bobby get me that power cufflink, Bobby get my whet stone, Bobby make sure to iron your shirt, Bobby-"

Narsesis made a sharp movement with her hand before interrupting him verbally. "Robert, stop whining, hack more."

The blond simply rolled his eyes but focused when the screen on the wall flashed 'Access Denied' at his face. A grin crossed his face as amusement flickered in his eyes before he once again tapped at his arm. "Heh, and we've run into a fire wall folks. Let's see if it can stand up to Sonic."

Oliver blinked, a vision of a blue hedgehog that collected rings and rolled really fast echoed in his mind. The blue hedgehog that The Question told him was actually part of a Japanese subdivision that's currently trying to reprogram the youth of American by the means of gaming so that when they're mature they'd turn against our government when the Japanese decide to take over America. Ollie needed new friends. "Sonic?" The kid couldn't actually be talking about Sonic the-

"Yeah, you know, Sonic the Hedgehog." As Ollie stared at Bobby the infamous blue hedgehog appeared on the computer's screen and starting doing his fast rolling across it. Taking down block's of the computer's background and with equal efficiency, the firewall. "Hah! And the code is cracked let's see you do that with claws!"

Kin touched the black earring that responded with a hushed beep. "Hey, Faith we're ready."

(Cool Transition)

A beep sounded from the familiar looking black earring in Faith's ear, she pressed it and was silent as she listened to her teammate. "They're ready. Now we just need to cause a disturbance." Poking Josh in the shoulder, "Josh, where's the camera?"

Josh stared at her blankly for a moment before he responded. "To the north, roughly twenty two feet."

That sharp finger then jabbed Vigilante in the side. "Ok, cowboy, can you see the camera?"

Making a sound of discomfort before glancing beyond their hiding point, it took a few seconds for him to spot the glittery, black machinery. "Yeah, yeah."

"Shoot it."

"You didn't say please-" Another jab to the side. "Alright, alright." Pulling out his revolvers as he spared her a glare. A couple of shots went off and the camera was down. Before he got a chance to brag alarms quickly went off. "Well that was dang quick."

A computerized female voice repeated, "Intruder alert, intruder alert," after a few seconds the voice droned on and on, just repeating the alert. Then the ground shifted aside like metal and automated guns rose up, aimed at them. A loud marching sound quickly got louder and louder until they saw robots with glowing cores came at them in herds along with a few guard soldiers. Sir Justin drew his sword and you could almost see the relief on his face that he finally got to fight something.

Spinning the revolvers around his fingers, "Well, let's go then."

Faith outstretched her pointer and middle finger, saying a few more words in the other language and shadows floated around her hand forming a whip made of black energy. "Go for the core, if it's magic then that's where the center of their energy is."

One of the guards dropped his rifle with a cry as his hand got shot. "Sure thing!"

(Cool Transition)

"Come on! Hurry up!" Kin hissed as they ran silently down the hallways.

Bobby a few feet behind him Ollie chased after the two, much faster, women. "Okay! Okay! Coming!" Narsesis grabbed him and Kin grabbed Bobby, yanking them down one of the turns. They stood straight against the wall as guards rushed by them, saying something about intruders and hurry. "You think maybe that large metal door is where are the data is?" Ollie mused as he looked at the rather impressive large metal door.

Robert simply shrugged. "Sure why not." Walking up to the door he looked for some sort of computer panel. After a few failed seconds he looked at Narsesis with a pouting expression. "Oh, great, a real lock, I can't hack this one, Narsesis?"

She gave her version of an awkward smile, "Allow me," Narsesis stretched her hand out and her claws got longer. In a simple motion she swiped out across the lock and it split apart, metal scrapings fell to the ground.

Kin walked over and with a grunt pulled the door open, she motioned for them to follow her. "This looks right." Large computers lined the walls, a few odd looking artifacts but Bobby went straight for the information, swiftly hacking into the terminal.

"Odd," Bobby mused as he rapidly typed commands into the computer, hooking it up with his own system.

"What?" Ollie asked sharply, keeping an eye out by the door, his bow drawn and ready for anything.

"It seems like its missing information, a lot of it," A loading bar appeared on the screen as he started to transfer the files.

(Cool Transition)

Ducking as a robot flew over her head, another beep sounded and Faith touched her communicator, "Yeah, ok." Wrapping her nether whip around the neck of one of the guards and flinging him into a nearby robot. Flipping the whip back as she twisted it around her fist transferring the nether energy and she slammed her fist into another one of the robots, shattering its core. Withdrawing as it fell apart she backed up into a circle with the other heroes. "They got all the data they could grab; they want to meet us at the javelin."

Justin blocked one of the robot's arms with his sword, "Right, but . . . . How do we get away?"

Faith glanced around at the many enemies surrounding them. Then her gaze reached her teammates. "Josh? Cover would be nice…"

The hero stared back at her and then nodded. "Your wish is my command; I recommend the rest of you duck and cover your ears." The two heroes unfamiliar with Josh blinked and quickly did as he said, Faith just tensed as she prepared for the same. Josh clapped his hands together and the sonic energy mixed with the natural electric current in the air travelled in sound waves hit all the guards.

"Let's go," They quickly maneuvered around and over their enemies, leaving them behind as they headed towards where the javelin was.

"Hey Josh, how'd yah do that?" Greg asked as he ran next to the psychic, curious about the not telepathic skill.

Green eyes momentarily glanced at him. "I can control weather patterns as well as telepathy. I wasn't hiding it and Oracle apparently didn't tell the Black Canary everything."

"Didn't your Momma ever tell you reading minds is rude?" Greg muttered as the glint of the javelin came into view. The heroes quickly boarded it; Bobby was already prepping it for launch.

"Hey, how'd it go?" Bobby asked only to be shooed away from the controls by Greg who took his seat and the shuttle door shut. The javelin shifted and squeaked as it took off.

"It was….a good exercise." Josh mused as he glanced around the javelin, distracted. Something didn't feel right to him about the surrounding air, something was off.

"Let me see the data," Faith ordered and Bobby handed her the printed out version of all the information they gathered. Judging from the crease in her forehead she noticed the hole of information as well. Skimming through it, ignoring the computer information she didn't understand. When she finished she walked over to Greg, leaning over him and comparing one of the sheet to the grid. "Can you get us here?" She asked calmly, showing him the matching area.

Greg looked up at her, trying not to look down her shirt, and raised an eyebrow. "What? Why?"

Dark, thin eyebrows pressed together as she looked at him. "That's where their base is.."

If not for his bandanna she would have seen his mouth gape in disbelief. "Then what was this?"

"Yeah!" Ollie encouraged from his seat, only to get a glare from the other members. So maybe he was fanning the flames of leader issues a bit, but it was funny.

"Let me reword that, it's their real base, probably where they're keeping the power source for their robots and if we're lucky then their leader would be there as well." Setting the grip paper in front of him as she backed up and starting to review the papers.

"And you're sure bout that?" Though he was questioning her he made a route for that direction anyway.

"No, but what if I'm right." This time she didn't even bother to look up from the papers.

Greg looked back at the others who either shrugged or ignored him, and then he sighed. "Aw, whatever." Faith headed to where Bobby was seated so that he could explain the computer information they had retrieved and then they could figure out if it was important or not.

(Cool Transition)

Josh shifted in his seat, growing more and more uncomfortable. They had been travelling for quite a while; it'd been silent with small talk once and a while, mostly just compliments towards skills they hadn't been aware of. Another was Greg forwarding their plans to the League to update them to the situation. Faith was seated in the co-pilot's seat at this point, still going over some information. Josh's finger's twitched, feeling as though they crossed over a trip wire that had activated something. Like something was crackling and breathing, taking in oxygen. Warmth flushed his face as he pushed back the cowl around his face. He got up and started to walk towards the back of the javelin, feeling something panicking.

Within minutes of that they arrived at their destination Greg once again broke the silence. "Here we are but there ain't nothing here…."

"Double negative," Faith snapped before standing up and looking out across the clear land, "The base is underground.."

There was a loud horse like sound and Sir Justin sprang up, worried that Josh had done something while he was back there. He made it to the door just as Josh was trying to back out the horse, a hot smell of smoke following him.

"What's going on back there!" Faith demanded as she stood up, watching Justin quickly grab at his horse's reins.

"Fire," Was Josh's simple reply to her question.

"Fire!" Was the response from the rest of the heroes.

"It appears that they found the javelin first," Josh stared, eyes darting around for some sort of fire extinguisher or something like that. "They must have planted something of a magical origin that activated when we approached their main base," He spoke quickly, trying to think of something he could do that wouldn't destroy the javelin around them.

Ollie quickly searched through his quiver, looking for an ice arrow, water arrow, anything. Then he froze, "Wait! Everyone shut up!" There was hardly a response to his order, things were happening too quickly. "I think I hear…." Frantically Oliver looked around the walls, finding a panel and ripping it off. "Beeping…"

A elaborate looking bomb glowed back at him, a thin screen blinked a countdown back at him as he backed up quickly, throat closing as he tried to say some sort of warning. More eyes locked onto the bomb and a tense air of fear crackled through the air faster than the fire. Four blinked at him. Then.

LadyR: Well, that was painful to rewrite, I think my mind nearly exploded. I'm going with this Vigilante is Greg Saunders, though the other Vigilantes are pretty cool. They really need to label like, "THIS BLACK CANARY IS THE EARTH 2 VERSION!" Or something like that. Well, I hope you enjoyed it, comments always welcome.

LadyR (From Original second chapter): Equally painful to rewrite. Bombs are fun. :D Hope you enjoyed it, reviews extremely painful to rewrite. Bombs are fun. :D Hope you enjoyed it, reviews extremely appreciated.
