In the dark of night, three heads could be seen trotting along the outskirts of a mountain that lingered above them.
One wore a red hat, the other a red helmet, and finally a hair made of fire.
They crept amidst the darkness, heading to what would have looked like nowhere. But the Redhood knew better.
Beneath a shovel of dirt and hanging vines, the Redhood had found the handle he had been searching for.
He pulled it towards his chest, and suddenly the dark had been brightened from a thin light pouring through the opening of the hidden door.
He smiled beneath his helmet, as did the rest.
They were in.
Thanks to the tech genius of their trio, the Redhoods were able to sneak past the camera filled streets.
The archer had sent out an emp arrow that disable all electronics in their area, which lasted no longer than 10 minutes exactly.
It was just enough to sneak their fiery orange friend through the deserted streets and into the high grassed jungles.
Inside the hidden facility, Jason, Roy, and Kori melted into formal clothing. They did their best to cover the alien, but in the end decided she would be called if needed.
Everything needed to be kept low-key.
Jason and Roy were already past several guards and security men carrying several forms of machinery in their hands.
Finally,
they arrived at their destination.
A door, painted over gray. Nothing extraordinary.
What was important was what hid inside.
Of course, things weren't going to be that easy.
'It never is' Jason thought.
A card, a special card (unlike the ones they stole from low class workers) was needed to enter the room.
The two men stood in silence thinking for a moment.
Would they wait for someone to enter?
How long would it be?
It was hard to say.
Roy examine the door for a moment. Knocked on it, scratched at it.
An idea emerged from his head. Jason could tell by the look on his face.
Somehow they both were thinking the same thing,
"We're going to need Kori."
Unfortunately, they did get the attention they knew they would have gotten by bringing along an orange alien by their side, but before the men could fire or notify their highers, they were 'taken care of'.
Really, who would be dumb enough to stand against an intergalactic warrior, a red head with a bow, and the Redhood?
He doesn't need much explaining.
They arrived at the door and told Starfire to heat it with a steady flame.
Too much will blow the door off and no doubt trigger an alarm. Just right will indent the door enough for them to be able to fit in the hole she will create.
She did as she was told.
First to enter was Jason.
As Roy's foot touched the ground, he was thrown back by two desperate hands.
He fell back into the arms of Kori.
The hole she had created was suddenly sparked to life with fire. It roared towards them.
Roy was thrown back and the alien inhaled the heat.
When the flames were absorbed or extinguished by the cool air, Roy rushed past to see what had went wrong.
He was past the burnt door and he frantically searched the room for what had become of the Redhood.
Nothing but smoke could be seen.
"Jason! Jason?!" he coughed but remained in the room looking through the rubble.
Nothing.
Starfire came in after him and looked around confused.
"No body." she said. Roy still looked,
"There has to be!"
She took hold of him, "No body."
They stood there staring at one another in the ash filled air.
No body?
"Idiot!" Jason thought as he was dragged from under the arms, legs sliding behind him.
"How the f#* did I not see this coming."
