Konichiwa! Hello! Bon jour! Nee hao! What's up! (ya I sound like lord death...) new chapter everyone and it's really late here, but I got this done. Funny story though, I was waiting at the doctors and just started to write, haha. Well enough of that, let's get to the chapter!

Disclaimer: I don't own anything except for Shadow/Aria and the story line.

I slowly started to open my eyes. Big mistake, it was too damn bright, "Someone turn off the damn light."

I heard a chuckle and I instantly jumped up, which was a bad idea, "Hey, calm down sleeping beauty." through my blood rushing back to Norma, I see Robin there in civil clothing, "How are you feeling?"

The rim finally stops spinning and I sat up, "Just a bit dizzy." I looked around the room and I saw that I was in the med bay, "How did I get here?" I saw my scarf on the counter and I wrapped it around me, "Wait! My mask is off!"

"Don't worry. They haven't seen you with your mask off. Batman told me to remove it so that it wouldn't leave a mark on your face." He started to laugh evilly, "And how you got her...do you really want to know?" I was kind of scarred to find out, but I still nodded, "Kaldur saw you fall and picked you up bridal style. That's the first time I've seen him look that worried. He freaked out when he heard that you were in a coma." I started to blush when I pictured that happening. Thank God I have my scarf on.

He handed me a cup of soup, "Here, you need to eat something." I thanked him taking a sip. It felt good going down my throat.

Then I remembered something important, "How long was I out for?" I took another sip as he answered.

"You were out for a day I think." I did a spit take. That's the longest I've been out. Then again I haven't used hayai for a long time. I need to start training again, these effects would kill me if I don't practice. Robin just laughs at the spilt soup. "To think a calm person like you would have a reaction like that.

I shot him a glare, "Shut up bird boy!" he just laughed more and fell off his chair. I just sweat dropped, watching him laugh even more. What a clown.

I got tired of sitting and decided to stand up. Robin finally stops laughing and hands me my mask, "If you're feeling better then Batman wants you to report in." I nodded while putting my mask on, "Well I'm going, I have to show Wally who's the best in Black Ops." He left the room putting his shades back on and I don't even want to know what he plans to do.

(Normal POV)
Shadow opened the door were she was met face to face with Kaldur. Both teens just stood there surprised, until Kaldur found his voice, "I came to check up on you. Are you ok?" He then blushed as he remembered how he reacted to her falling.

Shadow smiled at him, "I'm fine." She tried to avoid his gaze, she felt embarrassed about being carried that way, "Would you excuse me, I've been told that I have to report in to Batman."

"Oh yes." He moved out of her was, "My apologies." She nodded and left him standing there. "Oh wait!" he called when she was a few meters away.

She stopped and watches Kaldur catch up to her, "What is it?"

He smiled at her, "I just want to thank you for your suggestion of having M'gann gather information while the others fought."

She just shrugged, "It's nothing, I'm sure you would have thought of it anyways."

"No, my mind was elsewhere. I would not have noticed that M'gann was scarred. You seem to be a really good audition to this team." Shadow couldn't help but feel sort of down, but she shook that feeling off and smiled back at him.

"Well, I should get going." Kaldur just nodded and let the small girl go. As he watched her go, he couldn't help but think that something was going on between them. Something about her always left an imprint on him.

(Briefing room)
The dark knight saw the new comer in the room, "Looks like you're all better."

Shadow gave him a skeptical look, "Is there something you want?"

Batman gave her a serious look, "Tell me about the lab."

"You should already know from the others, and Artemis should have told you about those rumors about the lab." She saw no change in the bat's face. Sighing in defeat she told him, "You already know about the undead guards, right? Well then about the rumor, it says that they found out how to bring back people from the dead."

He nodded his head, "We got the research notes from M'gann, but we need to know more. The lab exploded once you left."

She sighed again, she hated retelling a story, "Remember I told you I killed people for the league, well they also tell you how to dispose of them. Sometimes there are orders to kill the subject without doing damage to the body, and when I'm done they instantly come and take the body away. I'm guessing that how they get the bodies. I never thought that they actually could bring them back to life. I also heard them talking about finding a way to stay immortal, but I'm not quite sure since they never tell the kages anything. It's also forbidden for us to ask questions about our missions. We just do."

"Is that all?" She just nodded, "Then you're dismissed. Thank you for your cooperation." She bowed her head out of habit and left, the zeta tubes claiming her departure.

(In the living room)
"Ha! I got you!" The young hacker cheered in delight, "You so owe me now!" he pointed at the red haired teen.

"Not fair Robin! You must have hacked the game!" He dropped the game controller, "Whatever, it's more fun killing actual zombies." He turned and saw M'gann turn green, if that was even possible and felt guilt hit him, "Not to bring bad memories."

Conner glared at the speedster then turned back to his girlfriend, "Are you ok M'gann?" his voice came out soft and a lot of compassion.

She gave him a reassuring smile, "I'm fine Conner." He nodded and went back to his mono tone self. Kaldur now entered the living room, "Oh Kaldur! Did you see Shadow?" He nodded his head, "Well, where is she?" She jumped up waiting happily for the answer.

"Well she told me that Batman wanted to talk to her." M'gann was going to the briefing room when Conner stopped her.

"She's not here anymore. She left through the zeta tubes just a while ago." M'gann sat down and looked a bit sad.

This time Artemis spoke in, "Really? Cause we were going to do a girls' night so that she can feel welcomed." M'gann nodded somewhat cheerfully.

"Well we can always do it another time. Maybe tomorrow since it's a Friday. We also need to invite Zatanna." M'gann suggested now back to her cheery self. They both cheered in delight, planning the perfect girls' night.

"Well, we lost them." Robin said as he was putting away the x-box.

"I don't get it. Just because a new girl came in, they start acting like this. She so closed up. We know nothing about her except for her name and her fighting skills." Wally was still sulking about the fact that Shadow could fight in fast motion. It's not as fast as him, but it was still beyond human speed.

"When are you going to get over that?" Robin read Wally's mind, "You barely know anything about me, and you sure as hell didn't know anything about Artemis when she first got here. Why do you have to single her out?"

"He is right, Wally. I suggest that you open up a little and do not let your pride get in the way." Kaldur spewed out venom to Wally, he was mad at him and it scarred the idiot a bit. Kaldur didn't like the fact that Wally was bad mouthing a very caring girl.

Obviously the others don't know that it was Shadow who suggested M'gann to get out of there. Kaldur kept that to himself.

Meanwhile at Wayne manor, Aria was strumming out a song on her guitar when she sneezed, "Are you kidding me?" She asked to no one in particular, "Am I actually getting a cold now?" She groaned, "I hope it was just the dust, wouldn't want to have a cold right after waking up from a coma." She returned to strumming and wondered what's to come the next day.

How'd ya like it? Oh and did you notice that I now have chapter titles? I know they really suck, but hey it's better than 'chapter...' that's boring.

Well, let's just see what's going to happen the next chapter. Maybe secrets will be revealed! (gasp!) NOT TELLING! But I do need help on how Shadow's civil outfit would look like. Remember that the team, except Robin cause he knows everything (at least he thinks) doesn't know who she is just like Robin keeping his secret identity. And please don't say sunglasses cause that's too cliché, plus that's Robin's thing. So ya, help!

See you next time!
