Young Justice Infiltration Chapter Two: The Fall

"This is Robin, beginning decent towards the compound, two minutes till chute deploy."

The Three falling heroes, in specialized skydiving suits began to get into position. The sun could now be seen just rising over the horizon, a beautiful view, the calm before the storm. Back on the ground Zatanna and Wally overlooked the base from afar. The two watched and waited till the time was right. Although the two never talked to each other much, they seemed to be good friends, and talked when they could.

"So...I see you and Robin are...well acquainted?" Wally said awkwardly. He began patting his legs and whistling as he looked at the dark haired girl. She was beautiful, her face, hair, figure; Robin was a lucky guy to say the least.

"Oh...I guess so, he hasn't asked me out yet, but Im pretty sure he will soon." She replied smiling at the young speedster. Wally stopped patting his legs and walked over towards Zatanna, he put his arm on her shoulder and looked into her eyes.

"Rob's my best friend, and he's a lucky guy to have you. And he can be an ass sometimes, but trust me the guy will never think about hurting you in anyway. The guy loves you Zee, don't worry. But we have a job to do, so lets get to it." Wally said smiling at her and helper her up. The two raced closer to the base and awaited their next orders.

"Deploy Chute!" Robin said, gliding into an up-right position, and pulling his chute. The other two did the same and slowly came to a slow descent as their chute flew out of their backpacks. The three glided down for three minutes before finally dropping into the base. A guard spotted them and attempted to call for back-up but was unsuccessful as Artemis quickly fired an arrow at his radio, and another one knocking him out. The three proceeded through the base until finally arrived at the compounds database. Robin telepathically contacted Megan and proceeded to give orders.

"Miss. M, link us up."

"Everyone is linked Robin."

"Good, we have arrived at the data-base."

"Then Kid Flash, and Zatanna execute the distraction." Said Kaldur.

Wally and Zatanna nodded at each other and proceeded with Kaldur's orders. Wally ran and began to mock the guards, while Zatanna summoned a spell.

"Edolpxe eht slerrab!" Shouted the sorceress. Barrels and containers around the base simultaneously began to blow up causing chaos around the massive walled compound. The Bio-Ship began firing upon the base scattering the soldiers left and right. The base was set a blaze, and the shadows didn't know what hit them. Inside the base, the sound of explosions soon cued the trio to begin their raid on the data-bases. Robin attached his gauntlet usb to a terminal and began hacking. Files and data began to flow into his device and stow away deep into the glove. Superboy, standing watch, heard footsteps approaching the room, however before he could react the door flew off it's hinges and blew into the room. A tall man clad in orange and black armor stepped through the smoke and flames. He wore a mask that restricted one eye, and a long sword on his back. Deathstroke.

"Naughty children, tsk tsk. Didn't your parents teach you stealing is bad? Well maybe not you little archer, but nonetheless you will be punished." The tall shadowy man pulled out his pistol and began firing on the trio, who now took cover behind massive terminals. A screen on Robin's holo-computer blinked, and a message, download complete cued Robin to attack the enemy assassin. He charged at him pulling out his escrima sticks and began to hit the man with fierce blows. The other two followed the young hero and began to attack the armored villain. However the trained killer, dodged the attacks of the boy wonder and threw him at super-boy leaving Artemis alone.

"Well, well ,well. Sports master's offspring. I hope you can put up a better fight than your old man." Said Deathstroke jokingly and charged at the emerald archer as he unsheathe his blade. Artemis swung her bow at him and the two metal weapons met and clanged against each other. Superboy recovered from and lunged at Deathstroke and the two launched out the wall, onto a helicopter landing pad above the flaming base. Deathstroke however pulled out a tazer and electrocuted the boy of steel. While kicking him to the ground.

"Aqualad we have what we came for, pick us up at the roof, north sector." Said Superboy over the mental link. Now getting up slowly from his opponents brutal attack.

"We're picking up Zatanna and Kid, but we will be there in two minutes." Replied Kaldur, who landed the Bio-Ship and began to retrieve their two teammates.

Robin and Artemis jumped out of the massive hole in the wall, and raced to help their downed comrade. Artemis helped Conner up, as Robin began to attack Deathstroke.

"You know, Robin I feel like we've fought before. Yes, like we were enemies in another life or something." Said Deathstroke now throwing punches at the boy wonder. The two battled and fought as if they were equals at combat. The bio-ship now raced towards the three and began to hover over the platform the three heroes now remained. The back of the ship opened up and Artemis and Superboy raced inside.

"Robin, come on!" Artemis screamed.

"Right." Said Robin, he disengaged from his fight with Deathstroke and sprinted for the red ship. He suddenly stopped when he heard the crack of the gunshot. He froze and fell to his knees. Artemis, watched in horror, as the young bird fell and bled from his shoulder. Deathstroke, now lowered his gun and holstered it. He signaled some soldiers to open fire upon the bio-ship forcing them to begin departure. Robin shaking, and out of strength threw his gauntlet onto the ship then, fell flat onto the hard ground.

"Miss Martian we have to go!" Screamed Aqualad. Superboy then jumped out of the ship and retrieved the dying boy, and flew back into it and nodded to Kaldur.

"We have him, lets go!"

The ship then soared off into the sky, and towards mount justice. The team crowded around Robin, who was coughing up blood and bleeding everywhere.

"Somebody help him!" Cried Zatanna clutching the dying Robin.

"We don't have the right equipment to do anything." Said Aqualad panicky, who held pressure on Robin's wound. Blood oozed through Kaldur's fingers forcing Wally to vomit.

"Zee summon a spell or something." Said Artemis, shaking the crying sorceress. Zatanna started to speak, but couldn't and stuttered. The shock was getting to her head, and only parts of words left her mouth. Robin's eyes opened and he smiled at Zee, he put his hand on her face and mouthed out the words, "it's okay". But the rest was cut off, and Robin slowly faded away. His body lay bleeding and the team went quiet. Artemis held Zatanna tight as she started to cry and freakout. Wally started to punch the bio-ship walls, Conner hugged Megan as she also cried, Rocket put her hand on Kaldur's shoulder as he began to frown and remain quiet.

The team arrived at the Cave and was met by Batman, Flash, Green Arrow, Captain Marvel, Superman, Black Canary, Icon, Aquaman, Red Arrow, and the Martian Man Hunter. The Ship landed, and Superboy carried Robins corpse, while the rest of the team silently trailed behind them. The League members all gasped in horror, and Batman turned and punched the Cement wall in anger and screamed. Clark flew over and held him back from hurting anything or anyone. Superboy walked into his room and placed him on his bed, turned and walked out. Conner looked at the team and tears started to form at his eyes. But he wiped them away and walked into the kitchen, and sat there motionless, as did the rest of the team and league.

It was a quiet rest of the day.
