TATATA

The team assembled in the center of Mount Justice. The newly formed team consisted of five teens, who had just started to figure out how to work together. In fact, they were only about to receive their second mission. Aqualad, Kid Flash, Superboy, and Miss Martian were all in varying states of sleepiness, whereas Robin was as awake as ever. Times like these made the team marvel at Robin's Batman-like resolve. A large screen with Batman on it flickered to life in front of them.

"I have a mission for you.".

Wally instantly regretted the words that flew out of his mouth. "It's one o'clock!"

Wally could swear that Batman shot him a look when he said, "I know. As part of your training, you should be able to handle stopping crime when it is late."

On a screen, a picture of a crumpled note and the criminal file of Sportsmaster flared up at the team. The abridged file said,

Sportsmaster

Age: 53-56

Name: Unknown

Status: Active

"I received a tip today and have reason to believe that Sportsmaster is planning to rob Cordyline Jewelers in Gotham.".

Robin answered the silent question of how Batman knew it was Sportsmaster from just one vague tip. "All of the Gotham crazies are either in Arkham or would make a big scene. Any others don't steal from ordinary jewelry stores at 1:37. It wouldn't fit their MO. That leaves Sportsmaster and Catwoman, but the note says 'Don't let him get away with it.'"

Batman gave a small nod and continued, "And wherever Sportsmaster is, Cheshire and White Rabbit are not too far behind." Two more files appeared next to Sportsmaster's. The first had a blurry picture of a girl in her late teens, wearing a mask that vaguely resembles a smiling cat. She had black unkempt hair, and was wearing a green ninja-like robe. Two katanas were strapped across her back. Blue text was next to the picture.

Cheshire

Age: 17-18

Name: Unknown

Status: Active

The second file had an equally blurry photo of a younger girl. She had blonde hair that was loose, and a white half-mask with rabbit ears on it. Her outfit was a white jumpsuit with gold lines crossing it. In the picture, she was leaping into action with a bow. The caption said,

White Rabbit

Age: 14-15

Name: Unknown

Status: Active

"I am sending Robin the coordinates. Batman out.".

The team surveyed the files. M'gann looked at White Rabbit's and said, "I do not understand. Why would a villain be so young?"

Kaldur responded, "I do not know, but she is a criminal.". He did not seem too sure.

The team made their way to the bioship and boarded the red spaceship. M'gann piloted, and Kid Flash and Robin sat on the left, Superboy and Aqualad on the right. The ship glided to a stop on top of a building near Cordyline Jewelers.

Linking us up, Miss Martian's voice rang through their heads. Superboy's brow furrowed, but he kept his cool. A hole appeared in the center of the craft and the five jumped out. The hole closed behind them and the bioship disappeared, blending in with the night.

This is your city, Robin, so I believe you should lead this mission, Aqualad said (thought?).

Robin nodded like Batman did in the mountain, and it reminded the team exactly who's protégé they were working with. Follow my lead. By the time the team turned away from the edge of the building, Robin was gone with an eerie cackle.

After a few moments of confused consent, the team stationed themselves around the store, and waited. And waited. And waited.

Finally, Miss Martian caught sight of two figures exiting the shop. The silhouette flipped out of a trapdoor on the top of the building with unnatural ease. The second silhouette was a man's, and he jerkily climbed what appeared to be ladder. He had a duffel bag over his soldier.

I have eyes on two of them, M'gann sent out.

Cheshire and Sportsmaster, Connor grunted. He flew at them (well, jumped, but that's besides the point) and attacked. Cheshire sidestepped the teen, her eyes widening in surprise. Superboy turned on her, but Cheshire flipped over her partner and Conner came face to face with Sportsmaster. The team jumped into action from there, M'gann chucking objects at the thieves with her mind and Kaldur going after Cheshire. Wally and Robin were about to run after them when an arrow lodged itself into the wall in front of them. They whipped around to see White Rabbit, crouched on a rooftop across from the shop, bow in hand. Robin cursed himself for forgetting that she would probably be there too.

The villains split up, fighting the teens on different sides of the building. Sportsmaster stayed on the roof, dodging Superboy's attacks. Cheshire had flipped down the fire escape onto the right side of the building, and was cartwheeling around the blades made of water that Aqualad wielded.

Upon closer inspection, the arrow that was now in the wall had a black cable attached to the end. It pulled taut, and White Rabbit pulled out a small white machine shaped like a sideways 'L', about the size of her hand. The criminal slapped it onto the rope, and began to zipline down to the left side of the building, towards Kid Flash and Robin.

Robin flicked open a batarang and cut the rope. The girl was already halfway down, and let go of her line, hitting the ground in a somersault. Kid Flash ran towards her, punching at superspeed. Robin couldn't step in or throw any batarangs, the two were moving around too quickly.

"So, why do they call you White Rabbit? I'm not seeing a pocket watch or anything.", Kid Flash bantered. White Rabbit managed to dodge and block most of the punches. Kid Flash's posture changed for a split second, and being the seasoned fighter that she was, White Rabbit caught the roundhouse kick aimed for her face.

The villain's voice was modified, making it sound slightly robotic. "Because of my knack for timebombs." Robin could see her wince under her mask as she twisted Kid's ankle sharply, and he heard a snap. "And quick escapes."

White Rabbit backflipped on top of a dumpster, and Robin skidded next to Kid Flash, who was laying on the ground, his ankle twisted in a grotesquely wrong direction.

"Mm fine. Broken ankle." Kid Flash slurred, pushing himself into a sitting position.

Guys, I need backup. Kaldur and Connor are down. Cheshire hit Kal with some sort of darts, and I think Sportsmaster has kryptonite. M'gann's voice made Robin jump a little.

Wally is down too. Robin responded.

Is he okay? Worry bled through M'gann's thoughts.

Just peachy, beautiful. M'gann pretended not to notice when Wally slipped into unconsciousness.

Robin turned back to the task at hand, giving White Rabbit his best bat-glare.

"What are you going to choose, capturing me, or saving her?" White Rabbit jerked her head at the shop. Through the window, Robin can see a security guard tied to a marble column. A bulky vest is on her, and he saw a timer running down.

Shit. White Rabbit did say something about timebombs, Robin thought. Robin sent her one last glare and ran towards the store, crashing through the window. White Rabbit flipped up a fire escape, and disappeared.

Robin focused on disarming the bomb, ignoring M'gann's warning about the criminals getting away.

00:00:34

He tore off a cover and picked through the wires.

00:00:21

Robin cut a wire, but the timer kept running down.

00:00:14

He scrambled to the other side of the knocked-out security guard and popped off another part of the vest.

00:00:06

Cutting more wires, Robin started to panic.

00:00:01

He couldn't give up. Not like this.

00:00:00

Then something extraordinary occurred: nothing.

What had just happened?

AN: So, I found it hard to believe that Cheshire cares so little about Artemis in YJ, so I changed that for my AU. Also, anyone else super pumped about YJ season 3 coming up? Remember, reviews are imagination fuel!

ps. I need a beta. Anyone interested?
