Thank you so much to anyone who reviewed on the first chapter! I'm glad you all like it so much :) Anyway, here's the second chapter! Enjoy!

I haven't found any mines in the room, it should be safe, Miss Martian said, communicating through the team's mental link, set up by the team so the robbers below her wouldn't be alerted to their presence.

Good, Aqualad said, Robin, you go in first and see if you can hack into the bank's systems and find out anything about the mines.

On it, the boy wonder said, leaping over to the bank and through the open window after carefully passing the active trip wire. It was impossible to deactivate the mine without accessing the central control for it, which he was planning to find quickly once inside the bank's systems.

Artemis followed after Robin, finding him already hooked up to a computer in the small room and M'gann standing by the door, which was cracked open barely an inch to allow her to see out.

By the time the rest of the team was inside, everyone was on edge about the mines and nearby bank robbers and waiting anxiously for their master hacker to find something.

Got it! Robin said, closing his holographic computer and smirking triumphantly, they have a master control on the second floor under the room across from here. It's hooked up to the bank's power grid. One guard. The rest are on the ground floor with the hostages.

Did you locate any more mines? Aqualad asked, mainly concerned for the hostages' safety. They were innocent in this and if they got hurt from one careless move on the team's part he wouldn't be able to forgive himself.

Robin shook his head, I can't until I'm hooked up to the control, but if they have one there must be a lot more.

Aqualad nodded, Alright. You and Artemis go down. Take care of the guard and try to deactivate the mines. The rest of us will deal with the robbers.

Okay, let's go, Artemis said. Robin nodded and the two left the room quietly, sneaking down to the next floor while looking out for more trip wires.

The two made it down the correct room, only finding one wire on the way. Finding the door open, Artemis notched an arrow to her bow and jumped in, planning on knocking the guard out before he could yell.

When the man saw her however, he remained perfectly quiet, only pressing a small red button in his hand before being hit with arrow that sent a shock wave through his body. He fell unconscious to the floor with a loud thud, the button clattering down next to him.

"Tie him up," Robin said, tossing Artemis a pair of handcuffs and picking up the fallen button. He muttered something and looked over to a black machine set on a table to one side of the room. It was about the size of a generic, movie-style bomb with a glowing green screen on it counting down from 3 minutes.

Robin took the UBS-cable from his glove and plugged it into the machine, looking grim. Within seconds of typing he pressed a hand to his communicator and said, "Robin to Aqualad. We took care of the guard but he set off a timing device on the mines. They're set to go off in three minutes and the guys downstairs might know we're here."

"Can you deactivate it in time?" the team leader asked, sounding as cool-headed as ever

"I think so, but I'm more familiar with bombs. It'll take me longer."

"Get to work, we'll be more careful."

"Got it."

Artemis spoke up after securing the guard to a table connected to the wall, "Wait. You have three minutes to deactivate that before who-knows-how-many mines go off all around us?"

"Two and half minutes and about fifteen mines. Keep watch," Robin said, already at work.

Artemis notched another arrow and stared grim-faced at the door, forcing a calm demeanour despite the knowledge her life now relied on a thirteen year old's ability to deactivate multiple mines in a very limited time span. The only thing keeping her calm was her training and knowing that Robin was more than capable of the feat.

Still...she wasn't to keen on being blown up.

On hearing the new information, Kid Flash grew even more anxious to get this mission over with. He was still trying to grasp how close to accidentally killing himself and his friends he had come and a time-limit to it actually happening wasn't helping.

Superboy's X-ray vision helped them locate the few mines that were on the way to the bottom floor. When the team, minus two, arrived they found five of the robbers in the main entrance room of the bank, where people would come and deal with rude bank employees while getting depressed over their meagre savings and towering credit card debt.

After getting the all clear from Superboy, the four heroes attacked the guards. Because these were just regular bank robbers, even if they did have multiple mines, the teens held back as much as they could, tying to knock the men out with as little force as possible.

Kaldur took out his water bearers and formed the water from his pack into blue liquid clubs, hitting two of the men on the head and knocking them out instantly. M'gann used her telekinesis to throw a chair another guard, catching him with his back turned before he knew what was happening.

By that time, the remaining two robbers tried to put up a fight but were taken out with lightning-fast punches from Kid Flash. Superboy hung back from the fight for fear of accidentally killing one of the men. He was still learning how to hold back his super strength.

When the five robbers were piled in the center of the room and tied up together the teens moved on to the back of the bank, hoping to find the remaining robbers and hostages.

**Artemis**

After what felt like hours but couldn't be more than a minute, Artemis turned from the door to check the control's acid green clock.

1:25

Taking a deep calming breath, the archer glanced at Robin, still standing in the exact same spot and working carefully but quickly to disarm the mines or at least stop the countdown. So far, obviously, he was unsuccessful.

The hacker seemed to sense Artemis watching him, because he looked up for a quick second and gave her a reassuring smile that faded quickly when his masked eyes returned to the holographic screen showing the complex data codes he understood so easily.

Artemis resumed her look-out after another glance at the clock.

A/N: Remember to review if you liked it or if there's just something you wanted to comment on. I love finding out the little things that people find in books and stories but especially things in my own! Again, if everything goes well, the third chapter should be up soon!
