I was gonna wait a few more days to upload this chapter but one of my friends practically begged me to post it early so here it is.


(Robin and Sparrow)

"You're pretty clever." Sparrow comments, "Sticking each one of us with one of your team members. Not that I wouldn't have done the same thing."

"Does this mean you're not mad at me for totally beating you up in the fight?" he smirked.

"Right. You're the one that beat me up, not the guy with super strength or anything." She said sarcastically.

"Whatever, let's just see if you can keep up, rookie." and with that, he took off.

"Oh you're on." mutters Sparrow and she shoots off after him.


(Aqualad and Sunstroke)

"So have you been a hero for long? Oh, how long did you have to train? Are you really from Atlantis? Is that your natural hair color?" Sunstroke chatters.

"This is supposed to be a stealth mission." Aqualad says, temporarily cutting off Sunstroke's babbling, "and is there any way you could make your costume a little less bright?"

"Oh yeah! I completely forgot!" she exclaims. Then she crosses her bracelets over her sun medallion and her costume changes into different shades of black and gray. "That never gets old!" she says excitedly.

"Shhh! No talking." Aqualad instructs.

"Okay fine. No talking." She gives in.


(Kid Flash and Shimmer)

Wally is taking advantage of the fact that they are alone to completely hit on Shimmer, "Hey beautiful."

"What did you call me?" Asks Shimmer as she turns toward him, trying to sound threatening but not quite pulling it off.

"I called you beautiful." he says simply.

"Do you hit on every girl you go on espionage missions with?" she remarks.

"Just the ones that freeze me to a wall." he answers smoothly.

"You don't give up do you?"

"No way, beautiful."

"Well can you at least try to stay focused on the fact that we're following the trail of a wanted crimi-Kid Flash, look out!" She screams before she hurls herself at Kid Flash, knocking them both to the ground just as a ninja star flies over their heads.

"Normally I would be perfectly fine with a girl throwing herself at me but I think being attacked by ninjas sorta kills the moment, don't you?" he says as he dodges another throwing star.

April was about to respond when she looks up and sees that they are completely surrounded by black-clothed and heavily armed ninjas. "That's a lot of ninjas." she says quietly.


(Robin and Sparrow)

They have found their selves in a similar predicament. "Smokescreen?" inquires Sparrow.

"Smokescreen." answers Robin before throwing down a smoke grenade. The second the smokescreen is up, Sparrow and Robin immediately start to viciously assault the ninjas. But there are simply too many, and, after a few minutes of continuous fighting, the smokescreen starts to slowly dissipate and the ninjas start to gain the upper hand. Sparrow is fighting and when she turns around she sees several ninjas trying to subdue Robin. "Hey! Let him go!" suddenly, all the remaining ninjas jump on her and grab her, "Wait! Let me go!" she protests.

The ninjas use knockout gas on Robin. Then one of the ninjas hits Sparrow in the side of the head, hard, and she is immediately knocked unconscious too.


(Aqualad and Sunstroke)

Sunstroke quickly puts up a forcefield around the two of them as they were unrelentingly attacked by ninjas. Aqualad jumps out of the forcefield and starts to fight the ninjas while Sunstroke shoots fire at them. One of the ninjas uses his nun-chuck and catches Aqualad off-guard, he stumbles backward and two ninjas grab him from behind while another one uses knockout gas on him. "Aqualad!" Sunstroke cries out as she sees him go limp. Her forcefield falters a bit and one of the ninjas uses that brief second to jump at her from behind, his foot hits her square in the center of her back, knocking her out cold.


(Kid Flash and Shimmer)

Shimmer hovers out of range of the ninjas' stars. Kid Flash is moving so fast that the ninjas can't hit him as he knocks out every ninja he passes. One ninja, though, climbs a nearby tree quickly, silently, and unnoticed. He is able to get level with Shimmer and throws a sedative-tipped throwing star at her. It catches her in the arm and, within a few seconds she falls to the earth, swiftly losing consciousness. Kid Flash notices that there seems to be considerably more ninjas than there were before. Back-up? "Hey Beautiful? Everything okay up there?" no answer. Kid Flash begins to panic a little as he realizes that they must have taken Shimmer. He starts running too fast and stumbles a little, just a little, but it's all the ninjas need and one of them leaps forward and cuts Kid Flash's arm with a shuriken, also tipped with a fast-acting sedative. As soon as Kid Flash is completely unconscious one of the ninjas picks up Shimmer, "Hurry. We have to get this one back to base before the sedative wears off." says one of the ninjas, most likely the leader, and they run off towards Ninja Master's hidden base.


"Master, the girls that go by the name of Triple Threat have been apprehended and captured by the ninjas. We have the two girls registering the highest levels of Comet Power in containment pods and we have placed the third in the special holding cell that was prepared. She will be of no use to us since she seems to have only a minuscule amount of the Comet Power inside of her, just a spark. What should we do with her?"

"I have another client who is very interested in this particular subject." Replied Ninja Master as he glanced toward the reinforced glass cage that Sparrow had been placed inside. At the moment it was being pumped full of a pink-tinted mist, sleeping gas.

"Of course, Master. Shall we proceed with the extraction?"

"Yes. Proceed with the other two as we planned. Our new client should be arriving shortly."

"Yes Master. If I may be so bold, who is this new client?" asked the second-in-command nervously.

"He calls himself Mastermind."


Okay so I'm pretty sure none of you know who Mastermind is (and we're not talking about the x-men villain Mastermind). That's because I made him up. He's part of a team of three super-villains who are Triple Threat's worst enemies. Mastermind is Sparrow's nemesis, he can fly and has telepathy (The power to control other people's minds). The other two on the team are Muscleman and Multi-man but they aren't in this story so i won't go into extreme detail about them, there will be more about them in future stories. But that's who Mastermind is so hopefully that makes the ending of this chapter more suspenseful than confusing. Please review!
