Black Canary took a deep breath and wiped the remaining tears from her eyes. She hoped that her next secession wouldn't notice that she had been crying. The metal door swished open and the newest member of the team stepped through the door. Rocket walked into the room slowly, looking down at her feet the entire time. Raquel was the only person on the team who wasn't harmed by Blackout physically, but mentally she was a wreck. She sat down and leaned back in the green chair.

"I watched Blackout and Joker torture my friends and all I could do was watch. He shot Kaldur and nearly killed him. I should've fought harder to get free. I should've been able to help them. Huh, I guess I'm nothing but dead weight on the team."

Black Canary's eyes widened and she put a hand on the girl's knee.

"Rocket, you're not dead weight. Even though you've only been on the team for 6 months, you've already helped them countless times. I've seen your technique and skills improve with every training secession. Blackout i-was a ruthless villain who captured both the team and the founding members of the Justice League. He murdered two people and almost murdered a third. There was nothing you could do to stop him. Nobody blames you or anyone else on the team for what happened." Black Canary said, hoping she didn't notice her slight slip of the tongue.

The heroine could tell she didn't believe her without her even having to open her mouth. Rocket turned away from her as tears rolled down her face.

"How could I let it happen again?" she muttered.

"Let what happen?"

Raquel looked up at her with a shocked expression on her face. Guess she didn't mean to let that slip out. She sighed heavily after a minute and looked down at her feet.

"Last year, my brother and I were walking home from the mall. As soon as we got in his car, some guy in a hoodie came out of nowhere and put a gun in my brother's face. He didn't say a word before he put a bullet in my brother's heart and ran off. My big brother died in that car and all I could do was watch. They never caught the guy who did it. That's the reason why I became Rocket. I didn't want another family to go through what me and my mom did. When I saw Blackout shot Kaldur, I felt… I felt like I was losing Jamal all over again. Like all the work I did over the past year was all for nothing. I failed my brother, Kaldur, the team, everybody." Rocket explained, her voice cracking with each word.

Black Canary walked over to Rocket and wrapped her arms around the crying girl. The teenager cried into her chest while Dinah rubbed soothing circles on her back. After a few minutes of letting her sob, the elder hero lifted the teen's head up and looking her in the eye.

"Rocket, neither Jamal's death or Kaldur being shot was your fault. You couldn't do anything to stop what happened. I know you feel horrible, but the important thing is that you, Kaldur and the team survived. Besides, you have made a difference in so many lives, it may not feel like it, but you have. Your brother would be so proud of you." Black Canary said, meaning every word.

The teen looked up at her and gave Dinah a small smile. The elder reached out her hand and grabbed Rocket's hand with a smile on her face. The two sat in silence until it was time for the next person to come in.

Meanwhile

Wonder woman sat on the balcony above the Watchtower garden and let her feet swing over the edge. She watched as the exotic animals flew above the trees and flowers and interacted with each other. Diana sighed heavily as she ran her fingers through her thick, ebony hair. She had been sitting here for over an hour, trying to get her mind off of the recent vision of Artemis's death. The princess had never seen Black Canary cry before. Her and Artemis were like mother and daughter, so the vision must've been like an arrow in her heart. Wonder woman felt eyes on the back of her neck and turned around to see Batman standing behind her.

"How long have you been standing there?" she asked.

"Not long." he answered, sitting down next to her.

"You ok princess?"

Diana sighed and rubbed her temples.

"Honestly, I don't know. My mother is a liar, my brother is a villain and nobody on the league trusts me anymore."

"I trust you." The Dark Knight said, gently grabbing Diana's hand and entwining his fingers with hers.

He hated seeing his princess like this. Even though her brother was a ruthless villain, she didn't deserve to be treated like one. Bruce didn't care what anybody said, he knew for a fact that she wasn't the mole and he was willing to do whatever it took to prove it. They were silent for a full minute before Bruce spoke up again.

"Something on your mind princess?"

"I'm torn Bruce. The hero part of me wants Blackout to be punished for what he did, but the civilian part of me is worried about Daniel's safety. If he's telling the truth, he's in as much danger as I am. Huh, I'm worried about a villain, no wonder the League doesn't trust me." Diana said, looking down at her feet the entire time.

Batman gently grabbed her chin and made her look at him.

"Don't worry. They'll come around."

"How do you know that?"

"Am I ever wrong?"

She giggled and looked at the Dark Knight with a smile on her face. It slowly disappeared as she looked at Bruce's stone cold expression. She didn't need to be to a physic to know he was holding something back.

"What is it?" Diana asked, seriously.

The Dark Knight visibly flinched and clenched his fists together before sighing heavily. Batman took off his mask to reveal millionaire playboy Bruce Wayne. Wonder woman's eyes widened when she saw emotion in his eyes. Even more shocking, she saw tears in his eyes.

"Diana, did you see Dick die?"

The amazon princess stiffened visibly and she felt her heart drop into her stomach. She was hoping her wouldn't ask her that question. She looked him in the eye and as if reading her mind he asked, "How?"

Diana let go of his hand and wrapped her arms around herself.

"Bruce, I-"

"Diana, please."

Wonder woman sighed heavily before looking at him with tear filled eyes.

"He was… he was shot, Bruce." She said, almost in a whisper.

Batman's jaw clenched and he inhaled sharply. Diana was about to put a hand on his shoulder, but she stopped in midair for some reason. Diana was about to say something when Superman walked towards them with his cape flowing behind him.

"Bruce, Diana we found something." He said, seriously.

Bruce immediately put on his cowl and walked towards the meeting room quickly. Clark glanced at Diana before turning on his heels and walking back to the meeting room. Wonder woman sighed as she got up from the balcony and slowly walked towards the meeting room. It was going to a long night. As soon as Superman and Batman were out of sight, she heard her phone go off. She pulled out her phone and saw that she had a message from an unknown number. Diana gasped as soon as she read it. Watch your back Diana. Not everyone in a cape is trustworthy. –Daniel

In Themyscira

Queen Hippolyta sighed heavily as she sat in her daughter's old room. She never meant for her affair to come out like this. She stood up from Diana's bed and examined a picture of her when she was younger. Even as a child, she was a warrior. The queen's thoughts were interrupted by the screams of her guards. Queen Hippolyta ran out of the room and headed towards the back of the palace. Before she could see what was going on, a huge explosion sent her flying into a large ceramic statue. The queen looked up weakly as the flames consumed the back of the palace.

Suddenly, a dark figure appeared in the flames and started walking towards her. Her eyes widened when she saw the figure's face. It was none other than Hades. Her lover who she had long forgotten about since her affair.

"You." She hissed.

Before she could even move, Hades grabbed her by her hair and lifted her above the ground.

"I'm going to ask you one time and one time only. Where. Is. My. Daughter?"
