"Tomorrow's going to be one hell of a day."...

The Daily Planet, Metropolis May 26th

The eight young adults slept peacefully, and were surprisingly undisturbed throughout the night. A good night's sleep seemed to be rare these days.

Connor stirred, beginning to wake. Over night he had forgotten the events of the day that had just passed. Seeing that there were now six other people in the room he jumped to his feet and began to shout. "Who are you and what are you doing here?!"

The shouting came as a shock to the team and they were all awake and on their feet in a matter of seconds. "Dude relax, you met us yesterday. We're the good guys remember?" Wally recapped stepping forward, "Liar!" Connor stepped forward and punched Wally in the face.

"Back down" Artemis growled stepping in front of Wally protectively. "Connor!" Megan shouted. "It's the truth, they're here to help us" She gently grabbed the marines arm and lowered it.

"It is true my friend. We are here to help you both" Kaldur spoke as the voice of reason, this caused Connor to stand down.

A tense silence had fallen upon the group when the hiss of static caught everyone's attention. "Hello?" Can anyone hear me? My name is Virgil Hawkins. I'm leading the rebellion in Dakota City, can anyone hear me?"

Looking at the radio in the corner of the room Raquel got an idea "Connor, is that thing a two way? Will he be able to hear us?" "He should be able to hear us, it's a standard issue marine core radio" Connor said bringing the radio into the middle of the room.

"Virgil, Virgil can you hear me? This is Raquel Ervin. Please can anybody hear me?" "Raquel? Thank god it's you, I have news" Virgil started. "The whole teams here, plus a few new members. Go ahead" Raquel replied.

"Reports have been coming in from rebels in Happy Harbour Rhode Island. They think they've found the new base of operations for Star Labs Super Soldier project." This caught everyone's attention. "What where?" Connor asked aggressively. "There's an old hollowed out mountain, it used to be used by the FBI but it's been abandoned for years until the last few weeks.

As Connor jotted down the coordinates for the mountain Dick slipped off to attempt to contact his father.

The phone rang in his ear for an agonizingly long time. "Hello? Dick is that you?" a panicked voice asked. "Dad it's me, I-I'm ok. Where are you? Are you ok?" Dick asked rushing the words down the phone.

"Calm down, I'm fine. Gotham City has been shut off from the outside world. It's completely infection free, myself and Alfred are fine." Bruce calmly explained to his son. "When the infection began to make news I contacted my friends and brought them all here, Barry Allen, his wife Iris and their son Bart are here. Oliver and Dinah Queen are here with Roy and one of of Oliver's friends, a Giovanni Zatara is here too. We're all ok" Bruce hoped that this news would calm his panicked son down.

"Wait Oliver Queen is there? Wally and I found Artemis and her friend Zatanna in Star City" dick explained. "Giovanni is Zatanna's father. Thank you Dick I'll let everyone here know that they're children are safe, come back to Gotham asap." Bruce said before Dick hung up the phone.

Wally walked up to Dick in the hallway. "Dude is everything ok? We're moving on to Happy Harbour now" Wally said resting a hand on his friends shoulder. "Yeah I got through to Bruce, him and Alfred are safe. They're at Wayne manor with you're aunt and uncle, Oliver queen and Zatanna's father."

"Thank god they're ok" Wally said finally breathing a sigh of relief that his aunt and uncle were ok. "We should go tell the others" Dick began to walk back towards the group.

"Zatanna? Artemis?" Dick asked nervously as he approached the group. "What's wrong Dick?" Artemis asked anxious for what the younger boy had to say. "I managed to get in touch with Bruce, You're father, Dinah and Roy are at the mansion, they're safe." He explained.

Artemis stepped forward and hugged him tightly, "thank you so much" she whispered shakily into his shoulder.

"Zatanna? Is you're father Giovanni Zatara?" Dick asked. "Yeah, why? What's wrong?" the girl started to panic. "Nothing, nothing's wrong. He's at the mansion too." Zatanna lunged forward giving Dick a bone crushing hug. "Thank you" she said quietly before stepping back and pulling him into a kiss.

"Well it's about time" Artemis laughed as her best friend's face turned bright red. "He was taking too long" Zatanna pouted at Dick. Dick stood next to Zatanna and took her hand in his as Raquel began to speak.

"If we're really going to do this we will need another supply run" she said looking at their dwindling supplies. "It may sound silly, but there are loads of celebrity houses not far from here...they might have stuff" Megan said nervously, afraid of what people would think of her suggestion.

"It's a good plan" Connor said looking down at his girlfriend. "They're pretty much the only places that haven't been raided because of the security systems" Connor explained to the group.

"Sounds like a plan to me" Zatanna exclaimed "I've always wanted to meet some one famous, besides your dad Artemis" she giggled and looked at her friend. The blonde rolled her eyes at that last part. "It'll be too dangerous on foot" Connor said bringing focus back to the group. "We have vehicles not far from here" Kaldur told him, "they shouldn't be that difficult to get to" Dick added.

The group gathered what they had left and took off towards the SUV's.

Upon reaching their mini convoy, Raquel let Connor drive the hummer with herself, Megan and Kaldur as passengers. Dick drove the other vehicle with Zatanna, Artemis and Wally.

"I wonder who's house we'll end up at" Zatanna said leaning through the gap into the back of the car. "Please be Channing Tatum or Ryan Goslin" she muttered under her breath. "Erm Zatanna? You know we all heard that" Artemis told her friend, amused at her reaction.

"Oops, I mean they're cute but you're cuter" the girl said attempting to sweet talk Dick. 25 minutes later and Zatanna had finally got Dick back on her side after her earlier slip up.

Dick slowed down as the car in front pulled into a drive way.

The group got out of the cars and made their way to the big majestic gates, the gates had a big A S on them.

"The reason these homes haven't been looted yet is because no one can get through the security to even get inside" Connor grumbled, "I could probably break through the gate."

"Wait no" Dick rushed, "those gates will provide us with great protection, give me a minute with the keypad." Dick walked over the security keypad and pulled the front off, looking at the wires he unplugged a couple of wires and the gate sprung to life. "We're in" he said sending the group a cheeky smirk.

The house was huge, like mansion huge. Lavish marble and expensive looking artwork lined the halls. "When was the last time anyone had a cookie?" Wally asked randomly.

Everyone stopped and stared at him wide eyed...

"Really a cookie?" Artemis asked chuckling at her boyfriend's random question. "Think about it, when was the last time any of you had some chocolate chip melt in the mouth goodness?" Wally asked again.

"Come to think of it dude it's been a while, I wouldn't mind a cookie" Dick said grinning at his friend, he had always admired the way that Wally was so full of energy and life. Even through the worst times he managed to pull it together.

"I'll make it a personal mission of mine to find the last box of cookies on Earth!" Wally exclaimed dramatically. This earned him an eye roll from Artemis and Zatanna and hysterical laughter from Dick and Raquel, while everyone else looked on with confused faces.

"Seen as right now you're stomachs doing all the thinking you stay here and look for food we can take on the road, the rest of us should split up and explore the house for anything else of use" Artemis said walking out of the room with Zatanna and Dick.

"We'll stay and help you" Megan said cheerily to Wally. "I guess the two of us will go explore" Raquel said gesturing to Kaldur.

As Wally, Megan and Connor began to raid the kitchen cupboards Wally caught sight of a picture frame on the kitchen counter. "Dude, no way..." "What?" Connor grumbled "I know who's house we're in" Wally said excitement noticeable in his voice.

"This is Arnold Schwarzenegger's house!" Wally held up the picture triumphantly. "Who?" Megan asked timidly, Wally's moment was officially ruined.

"You don't know who Arnold Schwarzenegger is? He's one of the biggest action stars like ever! He was the terminator!" Wally waved his arms around frantically while Connor chuckled at his actions.

"This place has to have a TV and a copy of the movie somewhere" Wally Said walking quickly out of the room, Megan and Connor right behind him. It didn't take them very long to find a private home theatre.

Wally found a copy of the terminator and put it on, explaining the story line in vivid detail to Megan, Connor sat behind still trying to hide his laughter as the movie began.

Artemis, Dick and Zatanna had found one of the many living rooms in the house. Zatanna was bouncing on the couch, Dick was playing with the sound system and Artemis was playing mini golf on a novelty mini put put course.

The tree of them completely unaware of what was coming down the hallway towards them.

Zatanna suddenly stopped bouncing on the couch. "Do either of you hear that?" she asked quietly. "It sounds like humming" Artemis said a confused expression on her face.

Before Dick had a chance to say anything Arnold Schwarzenegger staggered through into the room. Face green and corpse like, groaning terribly as he made his way towards the three of them.

Artemis swung at him with the golf club hitting him in the arm. "Ow!" the zombie cried. "Wait! Don't hit him again" Zatanna yelled, "Zombies can't talk" she exclaimed excitedly.

"I'm not a zombie" Arnie groaned. "Then why the hell do you look like one?" Artemis asked shocked at what was happening before her.

"It's the only way to leave the mansion. If you look and act like one of them they leave you alone" he replied. "Really?" Dick asked. "Yah, I just saw Bruce Willis and Channing Tatum on the golf course" the former mr universe replied.

"Damn. Channing Tatum's a zombie" Zatanna said pouting at the news. "Look I'm a huge fan" Artemis started "any chance you can throw one of your famous quotes at us?" she finished looking sheepishly at the floor. "Haha no problem kid" the man laughed.

"Get to ze choppa!" Arnie shouted.

This caught the attention of Raquel and Kaldur who raced into the room. "What's going on?!" Raquel shouted as she took in the scene before her. "We found Arnold Schwarzenegger" Dick Said happily. "He looks like a zombie but he's not" Zatanna added.

"Guys you know what would be really cool?" Dick said "there's this guy with us that is super edgy. We should totally play a prank on him..."

The four of them gathered round to listen to Dick's plan to scare the crap out of Wally.

Megan, Connor and Wally were still sat in the home theatre watching the Terminator, blissfully unaware of what was about to happen next.

As the rest of the group stood out of sight giggling at what was about to happen Arnie staggered into the theatre groaning loudly. The three unsuspecting victims whipped their heads round and took in the sight before them.

The terminator was stumbling his way towards the as a zombie, this could not be happening. Megan hid behind Connor, Wally screamed like a girl and Connor whipped out his gun.

"Connor stop!" Artemis shouted from the door way as the rest of the group ran into the room.

BANG!
it was too late, in the panic Connor had whipped out his gun and shot Arnie in the chest. The wounded star staggered backwards and collapsed into one of the many chairs.

"Damn, you just shot Arnold Schwarzenegger" Raquel said looking at the gaping hole on the movie stars chest.

Arnie beckoned for the group to get closer. "How bad is it?" he asked Artemis who was knelt down next to his chair. "Erm..I don't think we'll be able to fix it" she replied trying to remain light hearted. "Any regrets?" Dick asked him, "Junior maybe" Arnie replied chuckling at his old work.

"Any last words?" Zatanna asked as his eyes started to close. "I'll be back!" he said menacingly before slumping back into the chair.

"I think it is best that we pack up and move out" Kaldur said reprising his role as leader, "what ever's happening in Happy Harbour is serious. We're the only ones close enough to put a stop to it" Raquel added.

The group walked back to the kitchen to collect the food supplies and hand held radios that they had gathered before making their way to their vehicles.

They split up into the same two groups of Wally, Dick, Zatanna and Artemis in one car and Kaldur, Raquel, Megan and Connor in the other for the ride to Happy Harbour.

The mood had taken a serious turn as they awaited the horrors to come when they reached Star Labs secret facility.

Sensing the shift in mood Artemis attempted to lighten the mood. "So Wally, do you always scream like a girl?" she asked sarcastically. She glanced towards the drivers seat and caught the blush on the red heads cheeks.

"Haha very funny" he said pushing her shoulder lightly. "Who knew you were a big Arnold Schwarzenegger fan" he teased. "Eyes on the road romeo" she warned a small smile on her face.

"Zatanna?" Dick asked quietly, "what's wrong Dick?" she asked seeing the younger boy fidgeting in the seat next to her.

"Look, this might be inappropriate but, either Raquel's being really over dramatic or this little mission she's got us on is going to be dangerous." He looked her in the eye before continuing. "It's just, if anything goes wrong I don't want to have any regrets" he said taking her hand in his.

"Zatanna will you be my girlfriend? I promise that if we live through this I'll go where ever you want." There was a tense silence for a moment before Zatanna replied. She put her hand on the back of Dick's head and pulled him down meeting his lips half way with hers.

Wally wolf whistled from the drivers seat whilst Artemis laughed quietly next to him. "I'll take that as a yes" Dick said breathlessly as the two broke apart.

Meanwhile in the other car...

"Raquel if we are to continue with this mission we need to know the truth" Kaldur said looking at her from the drivers seat. "Is this going to be dangerous?" he asked.

"I won't lie Kaldur, this is more than likely going to be incredibly dangerous and I make no guarantees that we'll all make it out." She stared out of the window preparing for him to tell her that this was as far as they went.

"Connor, Megan now that you know the risks do you wish to continue?" Kaldur asked the two passengers in the back. They exchanged looks for a moment before Connor spoke. "We're still in, those assholes need to pay" Connor said clenching his fist.

"Raquel radio Artemis, they need to know the risks too" Kaldur said continuing to lead his new team efficiently.

The radio came to life with a static buzz before Raquel spoke. "Artemis this is Raquel, come in Artemis." A moment later the radio came to life again.

"This is Artemis, what's up Raquel?" "Kaldur asked me to radio, you guys need to know that this mission is an incredibly dangerous one. I can't guarantee your safety, there is time for you to back out if you wish too" Raquel said praying that they stick with them.

Artemis looked around the car, Wally, Dick and Zatanna all nodded at her. "We're in" She replied before the radio went silence once more. "Looks like everyone's still in" Raquel told Kaldur, thankful that these strangers who were quickly becoming her friends had agreed to help her.

"So say we actually survive the next 48 hours of our lives, what then?" Zatanna asked leaning in between the two front seats. "All of our parents are at Bruce's mansion, and according to Bruce Gotham City is infection free" Dick answered squeezing her hand gently. "looks like we're all going to Gotham, try and move on and rebuild our lives there" Artemis said looking towards Wally.

Wally took one hand off the steering wheel and entwined his fingers with hers. "When we go to Gotham we go together" he said looking her in the eye. "When we get to Gotham we stay together, if you still want that" Wally looked nervous now, as he waited for Artemis' reply. "What do you say Zatanna should we stick with these guys when we get to Gotham?" she sent Wally a cheeky wink and gave his hand a reassuring squeeze.

"Sounds like a plan to me" Zatanna replied smiling at Dick.

The rest of the journey to happy harbour passed quickly, everyone filled with anticipation and nerves at what lay ahead. Trying to imagine what kind of place they were willingly walking into.

As the group pulled into Happy Harbour they could see the mountain looming over the town. The Group exited the vehicles and gathered around Raquel to formulate a plan.

"According to the rebels we must go on foot from here, there is an entrance to underground tunnels that will take us to the mountain under the pier." Raquel said surveying everyone's reactions.

"As far as security goes we'll need a hacker to get past the electrical systems and a damn good lock pick to get us inside." Kaldur continued the to explain the plan.

"I'm your hacker" Dick said looking pleased with himself, "I know a few dirty tricks when it comes to breaking and entering" Artemis admitted "Do we even want to know why?" Connor asked. "My family are...different, yeah let's go with that" Artemis answered.

"Once inside apparently there's two tunnels, both leading to separate labs. From there they meet back in a main hall. We'll split into two teams and meet in the hall destroying everything alone the way." Once Raquel was finished explaining the plan she began to walk back towards the cars.

"Arm yourselves. Guns, grenades...what ever the hell you can find. No matter the cost we're getting any survivors out of there!" she yelled so everyone could hear her.

Thankfully Arnold Schwarzenegger had a damn cool armoury in his mansion, full of souvenirs from old movies. Every one took a utility belt and began to fill it with ammo, flash bang grenades and explosive charges.

Zatanna found a katana and attached it to her belt, Artemis did the same with a pair of sais she had found. Wally and Dick too a machine gun each and everyone carried a pair of hand guns.

Connor chose a shot gun for it's power and Megan took a baseball bat. Raquel choose dual machine guns and Kaldur opted for his machetes.

They began to walk through the empty burning streets towards the pier, unlike Metropolis they stuck to the streets and killed anything they came across. The group froze as they heard a feral scream, a zombie ran from one of the empty buildings straight towards them.

Megan stepped forward her bat raised and ready, she held her breath and willed herself to keep her nerve until the freak came into range. As the zombie lunged at her she swung the bat viscously, the swing took the creatures head clean off and the body landed at her feet.

"Go Megan!" Zatanna and Artemis shouted as they stared at the girl in shock. "How the hell did you do that?" Wally asked utterly surprised that the little lady had such a big swing.

"I played baseball in high school" she replied, as if that explained everything.

"We need to keep moving" Kaldur spoke loudly, the tension had gotten to everyone that much was obvious. Zatanna and Artemis were coping the best as they had lived this hell the longest out of the group. Connor was on edge with anticipation at getting his hands on the people who had murdered his fellow marines, and Megan was nervous about what Connor would do.

Dick and Wally were coping pretty well thanks to Artemis and Zatanna and Kaldur seemed to have kept his level headedness, but Raquel...she was a different story. The girl was almost feral, rage flowed off of her in waves and this disturbed the rest of the group.

"Ow" Megan whimpered, this caused everyone to turn around. Megan had tripped over some rubble and hurt her ankle, the group stopped and Connor helped his girlfriend to her feet.

"We have to keep moving!" Raquel yelled impatiently "Raquel, Megan is hurt. We need to take a look at her ankle and give her five minutes to rest it" Artemis said calmly, it was obvious to the rest of the group that she had tried to diffuse the situation.

"We don't have time for that!" Raquel yelled back "If she can't continue then we leave her!"

"No." Artemis said bluntly, she gave Megan and Connor a reassuring look and continued. "We don't go anywhere without her, we're a team and we stick together no matter what."

As Artemis finished what she was saying Raquel lunged at her knocking them both down to the floor. Raquel had Artemis pinned to the rubble on the floor, her forearm against the blondes neck. Artemis struggled beneath her eventually shoving the angry girl off of her.

"What the hell is your problem?!" Zatanna yelled moving to stand next to Artemis. Wally moved and stood in front of the two girls and Dick stood next to Zatanna, Raquel and snapped and they didn't want to take any chances.

"They took my father!" Raquel yelled, this stunned the group into silence...

"Raquel why did you keep this from us?" Kaldur asked calmly placing a hand on the girls shoulder. "I thought that if you knew you wouldn't help me, that you'd tell me he was already dead and there's nothing I can do...that's what everyone else did" she answered looking anywhere but at the group.

"Raquel did we truly seem so shallow?" Kaldur asked, "I couldn't take the risk, all anyone else ever gave me was rejection" she whispered
.

"We'll help you get him back Raquel and Connor, we'll make them pay for what they've done but Megan needs medical attention" Artemis said calmly stepping forward. Raquel nodded at Artemis who began to ruffle through the duffle bags looking for one of the first aid kits. "Artemis?" Raquel asked sheepishly, "I-I'm sorry I attacked you" she said looking at the floor.

"It's ok, just know that next time..I'll end you" Artemis said winking at the girl and lightening the mood. She quickly found a first aid kit and walked over to Megan who was sat on one of the bags, Connor and Wally sat with her.

Wally began to feel around Megan's ankle for any signs of a break. "Does it hurt when I do this?" Wally asked moving the girls ankle in a circle, "It's a little sore but it doesn't really hurt" Megan answered. "That's good, you're ankles not broken just sprained" he told her.

Artemis bent down in front of Megan and opened the first aid kit, "You're ankle needs wrapping, would you mind if I did it?" Artemis asked her, not completely sure if the girl felt that comfortable around her. "It's fine, I like you" Megan replied as smiled widely at her.

"Wally? Can you find a bottle of water please?" Artemis asked him passing him some pain killers from the first aid kit. "Sure thing beautiful" he replied before he zipped off to search the bags.

He returned a minute later with a bottle of water in one hand and the pain killers in the other.

"Take these, they'll take the edge off" he said handing the water and the pills to Megan. "Are you ok?" Wally asked as he knelt down in front of Artemis as she finished strapping Megan's ankle.

"I'm fine, it's easy to let our emotions get the better of us at the minute. I'm sure she never meant to hurt me" she replied. Wally reached forward and pulled the girl into a big hug.

"Get a room you two!" Dick shouted laughing at the couple.

The group sat down and went over the plan again before they packed everything back up and set off towards the mountain again.

When they reached the pier they realised that the mountain was huge, and that to get in they'd have to cross water underneath the pier. "So what now?" Connor asked, "We can't exactly swim it" Megan added.

"There's a small boat at the bottom of the pier" Kaldur pointed out "We shall take that."

One by one they climbed into the small speed boat, The men were gentlemen and helped the ladies into the boat. Connor climbed in last and started the engine. Slowly they made their way towards the entrance, they killed the engine as they approached the tunnel.

Once inside the tunnel they all got out of the boat and onto the dirt track. The tunnel ahead of them was pitch black and split into two.

"Everyone remembers their teams?" Raquel asked as she took out her flash light. Everyone nodded at her as they each took out their own flash lights. "Teams split up, keep in radio contact and check in every 10 minutes" Kaldur told every one before they split up and began to walk down their assigned tunnels.

Everything was tense and uneasy as they walked further into the darkness.

Further towards horrors that they couldn't imagine...

Hope you liked it ;) Stay tuned for chapter 7. All hell's going to break loose.
