Okay, so I know I have 'New Girl In Town' going to, but this idea hit me a while ago and I wasn't sure how to put it into action and now I am SO I HAVE TO DO THIS. Anyways, what's going to happen here is this is basically a Fail-Safe walk-through. What's going to happen is each part of the episode Fail-Safe is going to be taken from one person's point of view. Each time a person dies, it switches points of view, and ends a chapter. Each time someone dies there will be a chapter that is their life after death experience. Okay, now enough of my rant, enjoy!


Miss Martian's P.O.V

I let out a small gasp as I watched the monitor. Superman, Martian Manhunter, Atom, BOTH Green Lanterns, and Captain Marvel ALL were gone. Disintegrated. Then Batman. Of all the heroes you would think would survive, it would have been Batman. Seeing him go down, and Uncle J'onn, I had to admit it was a little devastating.

But this was all fake.

Uncle J'onn actually was orchestrating this from the outside. It was just a scenario. Just to see if we could handle it. And I can't let Uncle J'onn down. I'm already the weakest member on the team, at least I think so. I can't let everyone down, let them think I'm weak.

Dispensable.

The link was severed. As were the leaguers. I took a breath and turned to the other monitor. It was Zatara. All of our celestial units had failed. Things weren't looking too good for us. They needed ALL leaguers out in the field. This alien invasion was getting serious. REALLY serious. Red Tornado turned to us.

"If we should fail, the responsibility falls to you."

If we should fail... I knew it was fake, but... it still took a toll on me. An emotional, telepathic, mental toll. It was weird. A middle state of belief and non-belief.

But it was all fake.

I had to keep telling myself it was all fake. The graveness of the situation though, was evident. I glanced around quickly. Everyone must be feeling as I did, their faces wore the same serious expression as mine.

"We stand ready."

Aqualad's voice echoed through my head a little bit. Even though I knew it would, I was hoping it wouldn't come to this. To us. But, we WERE ready. As ready as we'd ever be.

One by one reports of fallen leaguers reached us. The Flash, Zatara, The Hawks, Green Arrow, Black Canary, Icon, Wonder Woman, the list dragged on. We sat, ready, waiting, but... our spirits were sinking, I could sense it. We watched the destruction on our monitors. I wanted to look away. But I just continued to remind myself.

This is all fake.

"I fear I am all that remains of the league."

Red Tornado's voice took us all of guard as it boomed over the cave's loud speakers. As we waited for more intel, there was a weird sort of static, loud and squealing. Then silence. Silence dripping in agitation, remorse, fear...

"WE are Earth's heroes now."

Aqualad's words sounded so definite. Like they really were gone. Really... you know... dead. I mean, they all knew this was fake too. But, we are the heroes now.

Everyone was gone.

Aqualad dealt with Superboy's impatience, having Robin pull up the locations of these aliens. They were everywhere... but where ever they were they seemed to always stick in groups. But there was this one. Out in what seemed like the middle of no where.

"That's Superman's fortress of solitude."

Oh, I wished Robin hadn't said that. It was so easy to send Superboy of the edge, especially with a topic like Superman. It was so touchy. The comment seemed to agitate Superboy, but he didn't get angry. I gave him some words of comfort and rubbed his arm. I knew he liked that. They began to discuss getting to the field. To the fortress. We'd start with that alien and work to the others. Kid Flash's incorrect assumption of all aliens being ugly did not go unnoticed though. I did have to admit though, he was pretty cute when he was embarrassed. Though I'd never say that out loud. Not with Superboy's anger issues, I'm sure he'd be the jealous type. With that, we were off. We weren't sure what we would encounter.

And I wasn't quite sure I wanted to know.

As we arrived I established a telepathic link, like always. Putting myself in camouflage mode, I neared the enemy ship. It was an awkward shape, but it seemed to fly well. For a moment it looked as if it were looking for something. When it stopped, I saw it. A large door in the ice with the S shield carved into it. This must be the fortress of solitude. I telepathically broke off a large piece. I personally thought it looked like an oval cookie with a huge bite taken out of it. That reminded me, I think I may have left my cookies in the oven. I shrugged it off. That wasn't much of a problem. Not compared to what we were facing now.

"Communications disabled. Repulsions disabled." I said telepathically to the others. Artemis came out of hiding for a brief second, shooting an arrow at what we had determined was the door. The ship took a few blind shots, getting close to hitting Artemis. Too close for comfort. But we jumped on our opportunity. Aqualad sprung up from the water beneath the ice as Superboy jumped on the ship. I began to get panicky as the ships defense, the disintegration lazer, began to fire up.

Pointed directly at Superboy.

Out of no where Wolf flew through the air, latching on to the laser and flinging it in the other direction. I sighed in relief. Gotta love that mangy mutt. Okay, mangy wolf, but still. I couldn't lose Superboy.

Even if it all was fake.

Robin was already to work locating main structural points of the ship and vital areas for destruction if we were going to sever the laser. He pointed them out and I telepathically destroyed them all with strong pulses. Superboy began to pull at the laser, in an attempt to sever it. A smaller lazer dropped down. I'm so stupid for not having noticed it. But Wolf did.

And that was his mistake.

Before any of us could process what had happened, the wolf had flung himself at Superboy, pushing him out of the way, subjecting himself to the laser. I watched it happen right before me.

Wolf was gone.

I was disappointed. Saddened.

But this was all fake.

Robin confirmed his disintegration. Superboy looked effected for a minute, but he knew this was all fake too.

"There's nothing we can do for him now."

Superboy's voice sounded so emotionless over the telepathic link, but I was picking up things from his brain. It did effect him. Really, it did. He sighed, and he jumped back onto the ship, beginning to pull at the laser again. Shortly, he had is severed and carried it to my bioship. I had the bioship begin to integrate the laser into itself, meaning I would have to take it out of camouflage for a few minutes.

"We may not have a few minutes..."

Robin's voice sounded urgent. I heard a whirring of engines and turned around. There were more of these enemy ships. Two more, to be exact. Aqualad ordered me to open fire, but I couldn't. All weapons were down to integrate the new cannon, which wasn't fully integrated either.

"Don't worry, I've got you covered!"

Artemis. Always there when we needed her. She already had three arrows loaded and aimed, beginning to fire.

"Get inside! I'm almost there!" Her voice yelled over the telepathic link. We all made a break for the bioship. As I neared I spun around to check on Artemis.

All too late.

She was darting for us, arrow docked and ready, but she wasn't paying attention.

"Artemis! Behind you!" I screamed telepathically. She spun around all too late. The disintegration beam had already hit her. Her body was slightly jolted into the air. It looked like she was floating in the strange, dirty yellow colored light. There was a flash, a faint floating skeleton, and then nothing. Nothing. NOTHING.

"ARTEMIS!" I screamed in vain.

Maybe this wasn't fake...

Maybe this was real.
