A long time ago I heard a song and it inspired me to write this story. Well I always wanted to do this story but I didn't have the inspiration to do so until I heard this song (Hole by Lovers and Liars) ...it even gave me the title for the fic also. So be thankful for music!

I'm sorry for the late Update, it was Mardi Gras then school! School sucks I know! But it keeps me busy from writing!

Now read!

Disclaimer: I don't own Batman:Under the Red Hood & Young Justice; I just work with the Light to kidnap teens FOR SCIENCE!

Angie rushes downstairs shoving her hair into her black knit hat, grabbing her red scarf from Jason's hand. "What's the rush?" he asks her.

Angie looks around for her brown carrier bag, "I overslept and I'm late for work." Angie finds it and slips it over her shoulder.

"I'm sure Patrick will understand," Jason replies.

Angie looks over her shoulder and raises an eyebrow, "Yeah like saying I'm a fire Demon that kills crime lords and drug dealers in the night...oh! And that's why I'm late for work by the way."

Jason sighs, "Whatever." He holds out her contact case, "Just get going. I'll bring Alice to school."

Angie smiles, "Thank you." She grabs the case out of his hands and disappears in an instant.

Jason smiles and takes the bullhorn off the table. He walks to the dorms and turns on the horn, "WAKE UP!" Jason can hear the crashes in their rooms and Zita comes bursting through her door, her eye wide and golden.

"What is your problem!" she screams. Everyone comes trudging out of their room rubbing their eyes.

"It's 7:00 am in the morning," Despina complains.

"We're teenagers Jason," Ben says through a yawn, "We get up at noon!"

"Yeah what's the big idea meanie!" Ashton yells.

Jason rolls his eye ignoring them. He throws Alice her school uniform, "Get ready we're leaving." Alice catches the uniform and moans while she shuts her door. Jason claps his hand, "Alright, everyone get ready! We have training to do!"

Ijin looks around, "Where's Angie?"

"She'll be at work all day today, so it's just me." Jason says. Everyone groans and goes back to their rooms to sleep. Jason stands there dumbfounded, soon Alice comes out fully dressed in her uniform. Jason hands her the car keys, "Start the van I'll be there soon."

Alice slings her backpack over her shoulder and walks towards the black van. Jason makes his way to the workshop and pulls back the curtain. He sees Itsuki asleep at his work station drooling all over the table. "Itsuki!" Jason yells.

Itsuki wakes with a start and falls off of his stool. Jason winces when he hears the huge thud. Itsuki grabs onto the side of the table and pulls himself up. He glares at Jason with a murderous expression, "What?"

"You're in charge while I'm gone," Jason says with a smile.

Itsuki wipes his forehead smearing oil all over his face, "Okay…"

Jason leaves him be in the workshop and climbs into the van. He buckles up and puts his hand on the steering wheel. He looks back at Alice who has her arms crossed in the passenger seat. The garage door opens and Jason drives off. He looks at Alice from the corner of his eye.

"What about breakfast," Alice asks.

Jason sighs, "To the drive-in McDonalds."

Jason runs his fingers through his black hair as he parks the van back in the warehouse. He gets out and notices everyone is still sleeping. Jason pulls out his taser and storms towards the dorms.

"Do I have to do everything myself," he mumbles as he breaks into Ben's room.

Everyone wakes up when they hear Ben screaming. They all rush out of their dorms and bolt to the living room for breakfast. Jason comes back dragging electrocuted Ben behind him. "I thought I told you guys to wake up?"

Despina bolts toward the kitchen afraid, "I'm making breakfast! Who wants to help?"

Allison runs after her, "I'll help!"

The rest straighten and line up in a single file line. Jason drops Ben on the ground and addresses the teens. "You'll be training all day today. We have a very important mission tomorrow and I want everyone to be prepared. Do you understand?"

"Yes sir," everyone says in unison.

Jason nods, "Good."

Despina soon comes out holding out a plate of bacon. The teens attack the food like a pack of wolves. After the teens finish they start training. "Okay Ijin and Ashton you're up," Jason says. He hands Ashton a sword, Ashton stares at Jason like he just lost his mind.

"What!" Ashton yells, "Do you really expect me to fight him? I mean he's a sword fighter and I'm not!" Ashton looks back at Ijin who has his sword drawn.

Jason shoves the sword in her hand, "Yep." He steps back and the bell rings to start practicee. Ashton draws the blade and holds it out in front of her, nervous about fighting him.

Ijin smiles, "Don't worry I'll go easy on you." She feels a tad bit better about fight him, I mean it's not like he's going to stab her or anything.

Despina whispers to Jason, "Are you sure this is a good idea?" Jason nods. Jason turns to Poin, "Go get Itsuki out of the workshop. He's up next." Poin nods, he walks towards the workshop and pulls back the curtain.

"Hey Itsuki..." He trails off as his eyes widen in shock to see two computer cables connected in the holes in the back of his neck, hooked up to his computer.

"Oh hey Poin. What's up?" Itsuki says causally. Poin closes the curtain and walks back to Jason.

Jason raises an eyebrow, "Where's Itsuki?"

Poin shakes his head, "Too weirded out."

Jason rolls his eyes nods to Allison, "Ally-Cat!" Allison looks back, "Go get Itsuki." She runs to the workshop, as a thud catches Jason's attention. He looks back to see Ijin pinning Ashton down on the mat with a dagger up against her throat. The swords are knocked out of their hands. Jason holds up his hands in a questioning manner, confused. Allison comes back, widen eyes and pale, like she's just seen a ghost. "Well?" Jason asks her. She just shakes her head. Jason face palms.

Alice taps her fingers on her leg as she looks up at the principal in front of her. She shifts uncomfortably in her seat as the principle glares at her in silence. Suddenly the door to his office slams open, and Alice looks back to see a seventeen year-old girl with brown eyes and red hair tugged under at black hat. She glares back at Alice, the realization hits her. That's Evangeline! Alice quickly turns around in her chair silently cursing to herself.

"Hello," says the principle, "You must be Ms. Prescott's cousin." He extends his hand to shake Angie's.

Angie smiles, "Hi! I'm Evangeline Carter, it's a pleasure to meet you." Angie sits down besides Alice, Alice shifts around nervously. "Now what exactly did Alice do?"

The principal pushes his glasses higher on his nose, "She punched another student in the face."

Alice can feel the burning glare from Evangeline, as she grits her teeth.

Angie sighs, "I see. I hope you don't expel her...I mean it is her first day."

The principal huffs in annoyance, "Well I should but I'm just giving her a warning this time."

Angie smiles, "Understood."

They leave the office, Alice takes a deep breath. Angie hasn't said a word. "You seem calm about this," Alice says softly. Suddenly Alice is slammed into the lockers with Evangeline's arm up against her throat.

"What in the world were you thinking!" Angie yells snarling her fangs, "I had to take off of work because of you! Do you understand how hard it is to support eleven teenagers! VERY HARD! So tell me what really happened!" Angie lets go of Alice, Alice rubs her neck being silent. Angie relaxes a bit, "It was your powers wasn't it?" Alice nods. Angie sighs, "The voices were that bad?"

Alice shoots her a look, "It wasn't that bad!"

Angie raises an eyebrow, "You punched a student in the face?"

"Okay," Alice admits, "It was a little bad..."

Angie shakes her head, "Just tell me what happened!"

"Some chick was talking bad about me...then the voices came and it was over crowding me. I couldn't control..." Evangeline puts a hand on Alice's shoulder.

"It's okay. I understand," Angie says softly, "Come on I'm taking you to work." Angie throws Alice her backpack and walks towards the entrance, Alice dashes after her. Angie walks Alice to a record store, and they enter. Alice gazes at all of the records and CDs in the store.

A guy behind the counter barks at Evangeline, "Angie! Your lunch break was over minutes ago!"

"Yeah, yeah I know!" Angie hisses.

The guy eyes Alice, "Who's the chick?"

Angie looks back at Alice, "Oh! She's my cousin."

He raises an eyebrow, "She doesn't look like Constantine's sister."

"What?" Alice panics.

Angie rolls her brown eyes. "Mother's side, Patrick!" she replies.

"Oh," Patrick says quietly, "Well get back to work!" He then storms off to the back of the store and locks himself in the studio. Angie chuckles and moves behind the counter. Alice puts her backpack down and leans against the counter.

"You know I'm not really your cousin," Alice says quietly.

Angie looks up from sorting CDs. "Yeah I know. But we look alike so we can pull it off."

Alice is silent for a few minutes. "Who's Constantine?"

Angie looks up at her dumbfounded. "It's Connie, that's his full name."

Alice's eyes widen, "So Connie is your cousin?" Angie nods. Alice takes a deep breath, "Didn't see that one coming." Angie smiles. "So," Alice continues, "You still on good terms with your mother?" Angie freezes.

Angie's sudden stop makes Alice jump a bit. Angie stays quiet for a minute starring off in space, Alice suddenly realizes she hit a nerve. Alice opens her mouth until Angie cuts her off. "No," Angie says flatly, "My mother...me and my mother were never on 'good terms'." She grabs the CD box and puts it on a shelf behind her.

Alice feels a bit guilty for bring it up, "I understand. My parents and I are not on 'good terms' either."

Angie giggles, "I know."

Alice scowls, "Of course you do!"

Angie looks over at Alice from the corner of her eye as she organizes the records, "Well what about your brother?"

Alice's eyes narrow, "Haven't seen him in months."

Angie shrugs, "Understandable, you know him being locked up and all."

Alice nods. "Have any siblings Evangeline?" She asks curiously.

Angie turns back towards her and nods, "Yep. I have 539 half brothers and sisters."

Alice's jaw drops, "Your family reunions must be hectic!"

Angie laughs, "You have no idea."

Alice smiles, it feels good to talk to Evangeline like this. She seems very open and not ashamed to talk about herself and her past. Angie's expression becomes more serious. "So...," she trails off, "Tell me about earlier today?"

Alice's smile fades, "I told you! Just some girls were being stupid and I got mad."

Angie raises an eyebrow, "Sounds like a different story to me." Alice huffs in annoyance.

Angie sighs, "Let me tell you a story about a circus performer who got picked on and regretted her actions soon afterwards." Alice raises an eyebrow, where is she going with this? Angie takes a deep breath and begins, "Once there lived a circus performer who was an outcast to everyone around her. Everyone else in the circus acted like they didn't know her, and some laughed at her. She became lonely. One day something horrible happened to her and no one came to help her no matter how much she screamed. They rejected her, the girl was forced into solitude and she lost herself, just becoming a shell. Until the day everyone finally crossed the line, and the girl snapped." Angie looks back to see Alice's intrigued expression, so interested in the story.

"Well what happened?" Alice asks quietly.

Angie faintly smiles, "She got her revenge on the people. She was so corrupted with hatred, her only goal was to destroy what she never had. She realized she was no longer human...but a monster."

Alice's eyes widen, "She killed everyone!"

Angie laughs, "No...a fate much worse than death...regret." Alice stares in horror at the Demon. Angie sighs, "My point is that if you keep acting like this and your fear becomes true, you'll lose yourself. But you're not alone anymore Alice, and no one should ever be alone." Alice realizes the deeper meaning to Evangeline's story, but Alice just simply nods understanding.

When the sun started setting, Angie turns to Alice, "My shift is almost done, so we can head home soon."

XXXXXX

Alice and Evangeline walk into the warehouse as their eyes widen in horror. Everyone was running around like wild animals, fighting. Jason is trying to calm everyone down by shooting them. Rage surges through Angie and blue flames surround her, making Alice step away. "WHAT IN LUCIFER'S UNDERPANTS IS GOING ON HERE!" Everyone freezes in horror glancing back at the enraged Demon.

Jason rushes towards Angie, "You're home early."

Angie bares her fangs, "Explain yourself!"

Jason rubs the back of his neck nervously, "Just going through some training."

"Sure looks like it to me," Alice replies sarcastically. Jason shoots her a look.

Angie sighs and shuts her eyes closed, clasping her forehead. "Whatever! I've had enough stress for one day. Now is there something else you need to tell me?"

"Now that you mention it, Connie did call earlier," Jason says shrugging.

Angie's eyes shoot open and she grabs Jason's collar enraged. "Connie called and you didn't even tell me about it!"

Jason shrugs, "You know he refuses to talk to me!"

She lets go, slamming him down hard onto the ground, "And for good reason!" She storms off dialing Connie's number, "I hate you just as much as he does!" Jason mumbles under his breath, Alice helps him up.

"What's her problem?" Ijin asks.

Jason shrugs, "It's probably a family thing."

"Why?" Despina asks, "Something wrong at home?"

Jason nods his head, "Knowing how screwed up her family is, probably."

Alice ponders about the matter, "She seems close to Constantine."

Jason jumps back amazed glaring at Alice, while everyone stares in a questioning manner. "How-" Jason makes out, he then shoves it aside. "Yeah she is, the guy pretty much raised her."

"Jason!" yells Angie. Jason jumps up in surprise. "How many times have I told you not to talk about my personal information to others!"

Jason shoots her a look and sticks his tongue out at her. Angie walks over and Jason breaks for it running upstairs.

She looks over to the team and their hair practically stand on ends. They all split in different directions, leaving Alice and Angie alone.

"What did Connie say?" Alice asks.

Angie shrugs, "It's just about the mission tomorrow. Nothing major."

Alice sighs in relief, "That's good."

Angie smiles and taps Alice on the shoulder, "I'm going to make some dinner, what to help?"

Alice nods, "Sure."

They start to walk towards the kitchen. "Hey Evangeline," Alice starts.

"Yeah?"

"What ever happened to circus performer?"

Angie stops and starts to play with the silver cross hung around her neck. She looks up at Alice and smiles, "I don't know what do you think happened to her?"

Yay! Done finally! Mission time next time! So stay tuned!
