"I need an AED!" A paramedic yelled rushing into the emergency room, rolling in a gurney with Batgirl loaded up, "Patient suffered a bullet wound to the lower abdomen, bleeding is controlled, subject female ages 19 to 24, going into cardiac arrest!"
Batgirl lay on the gurney as they stoped it to shock her heart.
One.
Two.
Three.
They pressed the pads to her now bare chest. Witnesses gathered around. To see one of Gotham's heroes on the table.
One.
Two.
Three.
Still unresponsive.
"We're gonna lose her!" l
A little boy, no older than ten got as close as he could. His hero on a gurney in front of him. A tear weld in his eye.
One.
Two.
Three.
"She's responding!" A medic yelled as they rushed her to an operating room.
"Mr. Rowe," Commisionr Gordon started, Harper interrupted.
"Ms, Ms. Rowe." She said.
"You're ID says Harri- nevermind, Ms. Rowe, describe the man Batgirl saved you from," He said,
"Tall, muscular, tattoos on his face, shaved head." She replied. Gordon sighed.
"That's not helpful, is he white, black, blue eyes? Brown? Scars? Details about his facial structure?" He asked.
"I've only ever seen him in dark alleys, I couldn't describe specifics, he's latino, I think." She explained. James nodded.
"Wait here, I'm going to call your parents," He said, Harper stood up.
"No!" She said, "They don't want to see me!" Gordon sighed.
"I'm sorry kid, I have to call them, legally." He said. Harper sat back down, she couldn't go back to her family. She couldn't.

The team sat in silence in the living room. Gar was transformed as a dog laying on Steph's lap, as she pet him. Bart sat upside down on the couch beside them, and Tim beside him. They played a quiet game of thumb war.
Jaime lay on the floor at their feet, his face inches from Bart's, as he played a game on his phone. If the situation was better Roy would be taking pictures of the two.
But he ignored them, flipping through channels on the TV. On the floor beside him, Cassie and Virgil played a game of TICTACTOE.
M'gann and Conner watched the eight of them barley notice each other's presence. M'gann sighed.
"This is wrong," She said, Conner raised an eyebrow and shot her a confused expression. She tucked a hair behind her ear and gestured towards the team, "That, they're not talking, usually they never shut up."
Conner nodded. "I mean, how are they supposed to take Barbara get shot?"
"I, I don't know, I just know that this isn't the way," She said, "Brooding."
"Well you can't expect them to be gung ho at the moment," Conner rebutted.
"I know, I just, I hate seeing them not having fun," M'gann said, then she smirked. She glanced at the team, and then back at Conner with a devilish grin, "They need a mind eraser, something fun!"
Conner's eyes widened, he felt a Megan plan coming. And he believed that it was gonna blow up, and blow up bad. M'gann reached for her purse and Conner's left eye twitched.
"Want me to get the bioship ready?" He asked, knowing there was no way of stopping her. She nodded as she started strutting for the team.
"Have her disguised as a Suburban!" She exclaimed, "Team! Get off your asses we are going out!"

"Are we there yet?" Bart asked, after nearly seven hours in the car(bio ship) in almost complete silence other than the low hum of Stephanies's headphones. Megan moved the mirror to see Bart and smiled at the turned the bioship down a street and into a parking lot.
The car stopped, Conner sighed and opened his door. Megan got out jovial. Tim opened his door and got out, and retracted the seat letting Roy, and Cassandra out of the back. Bart got out the other side, and so did Steph, Jaime jumped out from in between the roof and the seat.
"Where are we?" He asked, still sleepy from the long car ride.
"Look at the sign you dolt." Roy said, pointing at the sign, saying Knotts Berry Farm. Jaime faked a smile. Just what he wanted to do today. Hang around at the fair.
"Gar!" Get out of the hatchback!" Cassandra yelled, "We're here!" She rolled her eyes, opening the rear of the vehicle, Garfield was still asleep.
Roy smirked and threw a rock at him. Gar jumped up and hit his head on the roof. He fell on his ass rubbing his head as Roy erupted into laughter. Hunched over and clenching his stomach.
"Dick," Gar mumbled, hopping out of the bioship. "Knotts Berry Farm, crash."

"So, you spotted them?" Deathstroke asked a girl wearing a similar costume to his own, sitting at a computer. She stared down satellite footage. And clicked on a boy in the video.
"Yup, there's no way that isn't Beast Boy, even with a ball cap, hoodie and fingertip gloves he can't hide how green he is." She said, Deathstroke smiled. He patted her shoulder and nodded.
"Assemble your team, it's time." He said. The girl stood up and ran out of the room. Slade sat down in the chair. He folded his hands in front of his face then radioed in the rest of the Light.
"Phase One is about to begin." He informed them.
"She better perform well, a lot is riding on this mission succeeding." Lex explained. Skeptical as ever. Slade shook his head.
"She will, because if she doesn't she knows how bad that'll turn out," He said, grinning oily at the monitor displaying the Team in their civilian identities.

Cassie stood in line for the Ghost Rider, when Stephanie walked up. Cass rolled her eyes and shoved her hands into her jacket pockets.
"You know this is the worst cotton candy I've had in awhile," Steph joked, extending the candy to Cass. Who eyed it for a moment. Did she poison it, Steph smiled warmly at her so not to be rude Cass took a piece of candy. She was right. It was god awful.
"There's something we can agree on," Cassandra said. Steph nodded.
"You know I've always wanted to come here, but living in the slums of Gotham with no money, that I knew of," Steph said, "Kinda made it impossible."
"That's cool," Cassie said, she wasn't really listening. Stephanie batted her eyes offendedly.
"Were you even listening?" She asked, Cassie shook her head.
"Steph, don't pretend that we are friends, I hear the way that you talk about me," She snapped, "All over Tim, like seriously, I work with you, I'm kind to you, and because I dated a guy you liked you hate me don't try playing nice."
"Geez, sorry, Megan just wants us to all have a good time, don't let me get in the way of letting you have 'fun'," Steph said walking away, Cassandra could not keep her mouth shut. DO NOT LET HER HAVE THE LAST WORD. She thought
"Well I bet it's easy for you to have fun tonight considering you barely even know Babs," Cass said, Steph stopped. She threw her cotton candy on the ground. She wrinkled her nose and gritted her teeth.
Fucking excuse me, she thought. Cass did not just say that. Who's the one who goes on patrol with Barbara in Gotham almost every night. Not Cassie.
Stephanie breathed in, and then out. Then turned around and punched Cassandra square in the teeth and walked away.
