What is this?
Just breath.
Why?
So we can meet again.
But who are you?
Just keep breathing.
"Batcave to Team, do you read? Batcave to team." A crackled voice erupted from the speakers that lay haphazardly on the keyboard, startling the room's sole occupant.
"Cassie to Batman, copy. S'up Tim?" A slender girl with long blond hair swirled in her chair infront of dozens of giantflickering screens. Her eyes lazily scanned them, nothing new to report, the building that had been destroyed an hour agoe were still destroyed, the cizillians foraging for food were still foraging and the Earth was still devistated. Yeah, a pretty normal day.
"Batgirl what did I tell you about mantaing your cover, even when your at Team Headquaters?" Tim said his voice sounding like his usual stick in th emud self, even through the speakers. Cassie she new she should have switched one of the screens to league frequency but she didn't feeel like seeing Robin's scowling face.
"Technically you never told me anything though I think the old man might have mentioned something once."Cassendra Cain heard Tim sigh as she continued to playfully spin on her chair, smiling broadly as her fellow team-mate, Scarrab, walked into the survalnce hall with a confused look on his tanned face. Cassie put a finger to her lips and winked at him.
"Red Robin I don't think you called me just to have a stunnign conversation, right? Is it the Light? Are they plannign another attack? All seems normal on the moniters." she lightly said.
"Maybe." Red Robin answered, sounding uncertain.
"Ah! I love maybes, the posibilities are always thrilling." The young teenager loguhed as she finally stopped spinning she heard Scarrab suffering to hold back his loughter.
"This is no time for jokes!"
"It's never time for jokes these days."
"I'm sending all the intel we have to you now. It's a recon mission so send a team out and investigate." Tim ordered.
"Okey dokey." Batgirl chirped, as she jumped to her feet and watched as the mission files began to appear on the screen before her. With swift strokes of her hand she began opening the files and instantly began skimming through the details. She felt scarrab, or Adam as that was his civilian name, walking up besides her as he, too, began reading through the missnion intel.
"So you want my team to go check out what could be the source of these magnetic disturibances up where Santa lives?" Cassie asked into the com she wore in hear ear, amking sure Red Robin could hear.
"Doesn't the Leage have a bit of bad history with the Pole and Magnetic waves?" Adam asked, as he ran his hand through his fluffy brown her, his golden eyes still scanning the information.
"That's why we want you guys to check it out." Red Robin said
"You can trust us Timmy!" squeeled Cassie already running through tactics and strateges in her mind as well as already as lookingup any League files that included the words 'Pole' and 'Magnetic'. She might not be as serious and brroding like the rest of Batman's sidekicks but there had been a reason her chose her. The instant she clicked search the image of a young man with familiar red hair and green eyes appeared on the screen. It looked like he was tryign to hold back a smile while tryign to take a serious photo. Stamped in red print across the image were the words 'Presumed Deseased.'
Yes, she had been right, she knew what bad history Adam had been refering too. Everyone League member knew about it.
"Batgirl what did I just tell you about the names!"
"We'll update you guys when we get there." She said loughing, shaking of the glum that had momentarily fallen over her upon finding the picture. "Cassie out."
She turned to look up at Adam, her hands on her slender waist and smiling broadly up at the taller teenager she said. "We have a mission!"
Ten minutes later most of the team were standing before Batgirl, gone were her comfortable civilian clothes, now she was clad in all her bat glory, minus her mask, that is, that hung on her utility belt for the moment. Before her stood an arrangement of teenagers who she had been her team for over a year. She could still remember reading their files when Dick had assigned them to her.

Adam was already in his crimson armour, Egyptian hilogryphs were engraved all along the metal, glowing in a faint gold light. At fifteen he was already the tallest from the group, when his shoulder weren't slumped that is. Besides him stood the the Allen Twins, Joe and Dawn. A year younger then an Adam and significantly shorter then adam, Joe and Dawn would often argue which of the two were taller then the other (height mesurmeent showe that that was Dawn) Both twins had bright blue eyes and ligt brown hair and faces covered with freckles. Joe, being the speedster he was, was in his characterisitc black uniform with the yellow lighting bolt symbol on his narrow chest. His sister was the only one from teenager in the line before Cassie still in her civilain clothing. Dawn rarely ever went in the field, haveing ben trained by Oracle herself though, she was more of a whiz kid then a warrior, but she had proven her skill more times then Cassie would care admit. Besides Dawn, looking as dreamy as ever, was Xar Hol, the only other team member older then Cassie (by two days thank you very much). He was just slightly shorter then Adam, a fact the two often argued about. Xor had shoulder length whispy black hair and intense brown eyes. He wore a gold and black uniform silimar those his parent wore and which allowed his glistenig white wings to mjestily emerge from his back and frame his mascularbody.
Cassie shook her head, she had to focus but she was vaguely aware that she wasn't the only one giving Hawk Boy lingering looks. Lorena stood besides him, her arms crossed her face scowling. Her glistening black hair and deep blue eyes made it appear as is she were more worthy of walking the catwalk then fighting a battle but Cassie new better then to doubt the younger girl, had been kicking everyone butts in training since she arrived here. A thing that really infuriated her. Besides Lorena the youngest memebr of their team stood, Eli was remarkedly short with sandy hair and dark green eyes. Not even a teenager yet, the oversized hat he wore just made him look smaller.
"So you all know the assignment." Csssie soncluded as she finished explaining the mission. "Alpha team is me, Scarreb, Hawk Boy, Speedy, and Atlanta. Aquagirl your piloting the bioship. Hatter and Whiz, you two will stay here and keep an eye on us from above."
"Understood." Dawn expertly said as she shot Eli a friendly smile but the young boy didn't see it, he looked so dejected that he hadn't been chosen for the mission that even his hat was drooping, rather comically ecchoing his dissapointment.
"Seems simple enough." Hawk Boy said as he readily put his hand on the maice that hung from his side.
"We'll be in and out before you can say second breakfast." Chirped Speedy, salready running around the room, excited to get going as per usual, causing Dawn to shake her head in emberasssment.
"Only if you say it very, very slowly." Observed Scarreb, as he followed Speedy's movments with his eyes.
With her arms still crossed Aquagirl began walking towards Batgirl, the latter bit her lip as she had to look up the taller girl, it was annoying being so short and Lorena was a good two years younger then her! It just wasn't fair.
"Not that I'm questionign you reasoning,"
"Wouldn't be the first time." Csssie observed sarcastically.
"But Batgirl," Lorena continued, ignoring her comment, "Atlanta is a no show like usual. "
"With your observation skills it's no wonder how you've survived this long." Said a voice thick in sarcasm. Cassie rolled her eyes as she looked up at the ceiling were she had known the last memebr of their team had been, listenign from the shadows, like she always did.
Codename: Atlanta
Civilian Name: Unkown a.k.a Wallise 'Wally' Crok
Age: Undefined.
Notes: Classified.
Silently Atlanta jumbed from the banister she had been sitting on and silently landed behind the line of teenagers, everyone tunred to face the girl, none really surprised by her presence. Atlanta was tall and slim but muscular as well. She wore a a strnage grey playsuit with wide sleaves and ankle high combat boots. Her crimson hair was tied back in a tick braid and she looked at the team with th ebrightest green eyes any of them had ever seen. Strapped to her back was her bow and her basket of arrows and arround her neck, not really fitting with her outfit, were a pair of google none of them had ever seen her wear.
"It's nice of you to grace us with your presence Walie." Said Lorena, turnign to face her.
"Oh, I've been her since the meetign started." Atlanta said calmly and evenly. " You must be as intune with grace as you may believe yourself to be."
"Hey!" yelled speedy running to seperate the two girls. "Don't talk to Atl like that! She was technically here this whole time, stop dissing on her Lorena, she's part of this team too."
"As least i try to be part of the team." Snapped Aquagirl finally lowering her arms.
Joe seemed like he wanted to say something but he quickly shut up as the red head silently walked passed him, looking straight ahead. She made as if to walk up to Aquagirl but instead she shifted her gaze to Cassie, who shook her head as if to say she wasn't worth the fight. Instead, Atlanta stopped besides Lorena, neither one breaking their distant gazes.
"Do. Not. Call. Me. Wally." She calmly said. "The name is Atlanta."
Guiltily Batgirl turned to the screen Atlanta was staring at, the image of the presumed desceaded man was still on the screen.
"Okey then!" Batgirl said, clapping her hands, instantly breaking the tension that semed to fill the room. "Time to get this party started!"
