I DO NOT OWN YJ~

Wally looked at the note with disbelief and screamed out her name. However, only the air responded to his cries. Wally telepathically called Megan and Megan connected the rest of the team.

-"KF, chill. I can't hear anything. Tell me straight," Robin demanded.

-"Dick…..*sniffle*..Artemis left a note…a confusing note," Wally explained.

-"What did it say? Tell me KF or else I can't…we can't help you," Robin yelled.

-"Wally, what's wrong? Did something happen to her?" asked Megan.

Wally let out a few more yells and fists before telling the note's content.

-"She told me that she would be gone for a long time and to…take care of you guys for her..What the hell does that mean? Please tell me she's okay" KF beseeched.

-"Miss Martian track her," ordered Kaldur.

-"Thought you would never ask," replied Megan. "KF, I'm sorry. I can't track her."

-"Why not? Do better and find her whatever it takes!" KF yelled.

-"Don't talk to McGann like that. We're all coming to the cave so calm down," Superboy growled.

4 hours later….

By the time the rest of the team arrived, Wally was on his knees. Megan rested her hand on his shoulder to console him. However, this time, all that KF wanted was Artemis.

Kaldur ordered the rest of the team to search the cave. Megan searched the rooms, Connor searched the labs, and Robin searched the souvenir room. Robin was about to surpass the room until he noticed that….the mask was missing and Artemis' arrows were broken.

Robin ran to the main room to report to Kaldur of what he found. "I'm afraid the Shadows are back and might have gotten Artemis," Robin informed the team. "They're dead. I will make sure they pay," roared KF.

"I do not think that is so…perhaps…Artemis..is the mole," Kaldur hesitantly said. Everyone else turned to face him with astonishment.

-"Aqualad, I know the mole thing has been getting to you, but Artemis…can't possibly be the mole. I mean you said yourself that you were convinced she wasn't the mole," said Robin.

-Aqualad replied calmly, "Then, how do you explain the disappearance of the mask and her broken arrows? Last time, she said Chesire got away and claimed she couldn't see her face. However, there was enough light and she could've seen her face. Why do you think she lied that time?"

KF immediately threw himself on top of Aqualad and threw speed punches at his face. Robin and Connor had to hold him back as Kaldur wiped off the blood on his lip.

- "She is not the mole," KF yelled. Just then, Batman entered the cave and was disappointed by the rash actions of the team.

- "What is going on," Batman demanded.

- "Artemis has disappeared and her arrows were found broken. Not to mention, Chesire's mask was gone," reported Robin.

- "I guess I have to tell then…..the truth cannot be hidden forever," Batman said sadly.

KF grabbed Batman's collar and glared with great intensity. "Tell me everything right now," yelled KF.

-"Let go, first. Artemis' father is….Sportsmaster. However, her relations have nothing to do with her loyalty to this team," Batman explained.

KF let go of Batman slowly and collapsed on the ground. Kaldur stared blankly at the ground in disbelief. Megan cried in Superboy's arms and Superboy himself seemed surprised. Last but not least, Robin was distraught.

Robin remembered when he told her to get traught or dead. She lived under a monster….no wonder why she would've been distraught….

Suddenly, smoke filled the room and Batman went to defensive mode. Kaldur blasted water to blow away the smoke. Within the smoke, a woman came out of the shadows with a sword in hand.

She charged at Batman with full force. As she threw a punch, Batman caught her fist. She then rolled over his back and kicked a stress point that made him paralyzed for temporarily. Just then, Robin threw a disc at the mysterious attacker and she dodged it. She threw in another smoke bomb and gagged him from behind. Megan camouflaged but before she knew it, 5 daggers pinned her to the wall with a net covering her eyes. KF ran with full speed and pushed her down.

Connor jumped and tried to squash her with his super strength but she grabbed his foot and pushed him down.

KF, as angry as he was, ran and successfully took off her mask before he slipped into one of her traps. He fell on the floor unconscious along with all the others. The final thing he saw was…..Artemis' beautiful face.
