Mount Justice
October 16, 16:01 EDT
All of us were watching the Leaguers get barbequed by these aliens that were trying to take over the Earth.
"I must join the League we will protect the planet at all coast but should we fail the responsibility should fall to you." Red Tornado said. Aqualad looked over at the rest of us and nodded. "We stand ready." He said. Tornado left and we pulled up all of the Justice League and it wasn't looking to well.
"So what are we going to do now?" I said frowning and looking up at all of the screens that showed the Leaguers being vaporized.
"Red Tornado to the Cave I believe I am the last of the Leaguers and I will try my best but the job is up to you." With that he was vaporized and I wanted to die, how do we stand a chance if all the other Leaguers are dead.
"We are Earth's heroes now." Aqualad said.
"So what are we waiting for a theme song?" Superboy spat. Man does he always act like he has a stick up his ass.
"A strategy, Earth's weapons are ineffective, and it has been made tragically clear a direct attack is ineffective." Aqualad looked down at Robin who was doing something with is holographic computer.
"Checking Satellite industry. Here's where the aliens are now." Robin pulled up all the places that had been taken over by the aliens and trust me it wasn't looking to well. I noticed one of them were in the middle of nowhere by its self.
"This one get lost?" Superboy said pointing to the same I was thinking about. If I didn't know any better I would have sworn he read my mind. "Superman's fortress of solitude!" It would have done me plenty of good to know he had a fortress of solitude when I was working for the bad guys.
"Superman has a fortress of solitude?" Again it's like he reads my mind. "Its power source must be attracting the aliens attention, at least enough to send a scout ship to investigate." Robin said. It made sense but what's there that makes it so powerful?
Conner walked off mumbling something that I really didn't care about at the moment seeing as aliens were taking over. His issues with Superman really didn't matter at the moment all that mattered is trying to figure out how to get these E.T.'s off of Earth.
"We will target this lone ship."
"Yeah, break it down build more it those ugly aliens with their own mojo." Kid Flash said. Artemis and I both elbowed him. "Martian and Kryptonian in the house." Artemis whispered. Superboy and M'gann both glared at him and I rolled my eyes knowing he was going to try and cover his tracks.
"No that all aliens are automatically ugly." He said nervously laughing.
We headed out to Superman's Fortress of Solitude and got there with no problems, I was told to stay with Robin until the signal was given.
Robin: Are you scared because there's no need to be, I'll protect you I promise.
Nina: Thank you Robin.
Artemis: You two do realize that all of us can hear you.
Robin & Nina: Sorry.
We came out of hiding and I jumped on the Bioship along with Robin who was doing something with the holographic computer.
Robin: Identifying weapons structural stress points should be here, here and here.
M'gann and Superboy began to take apart the ship until one of the little vaporizer went after Superboy, wolf pushed him out of the way and just like that he was gone.
M'gann: Wolf.
Robin: There was no indication of feedback, I'm sorry.
Superboy: Can't do anything about it now.
He went back to taking off the vaporizer easily and putting it on the Bioship, it was getting an upgrade.
M'gann: Rerouting systems to intergrade weapons into bio matrix. I'll need to decamouflage for a few minute
Nina: Man that has to be the coolest think I have ever seen.
Robin: We may not have few minutes.
My eyes followed the UFO's as they circled around and started to shoot at us.
Aqualad: Miss Martian open for fire.
M'gann: I can't weapons systems are offline…
I mentally blocked them out and jumped off of the Bioship and began threw a bomb at the ship taking on of them out. Artemis started shooting arrows at the alien ships and trying to run to the Bioship at the same time.
Artemis: Got you covered get inside, I'm almost there.
Robin grabbed me and pulled me into the Bioship and ran back out of the Bioship leaving me by myself. I ran to the opening and saw the vaporizer pointing at Artemis.
M'gann: Artemis behind you!
She turned around and got ready shoot another arrow but it was too late. "ARTEMIS!" I couldn't believe it Artemis was gone just like that. I know I haven't known them for long but the little time that I have known them they were like my family and to have one of my family members taken away from me. I have never felt this kind of pain in my whole life.
"ARTEMIS!" Wally yelled and I could almost feel angry radiating from his body.
"Get inside all of you." Aqualad said taking out the last of the alien ships, we all just stopped and began to take in what really happened just now. "They're dead, every single alien if it's the last thing I do." Wally yelled. The rest of the Team got into the Bioship and we took off to Mount Justice I believe. Words could describe what was going on through my head and I'm sure everyone else were feeling the same way. M'gann was balling her eyes out and Wally had been slamming his hands down on the poor Bioship.
"There will be a time to mourn later, now we have a job to do. Defend the Earth and insure that Artemis's sacrifice was not in vain." Aqualad said after Wally was finished having a fit.
"Back to the Cave?" I looked up at Aqualad who shook his head. "The Hall of Justice, the human race must know that there are still hero's defending them. There is still hope." He said sitting back in his seat.
We made it to the Hall of Justice but it sure didn't look like any Hall of Justice that I was used to seeing. The alien ships where attacking the people who looked like they were trying to defend it the best they could. Superboy was let out to take out one of these UFO's and M'gann let the Bioship do the rest of the work but vaporizing them. When we got out of the Bioship everyone was cheering but it didn't make me feel any better than I was. In all truth I was absolutely terrified, it was like we were in some sort of horror movie and it shook me to my core. I just wanted to sit down cry and pray that I wake of from this horrible nightmare but I knew I couldn't, I had people relying on me and acting like a baby is not going to save them. This is what I signed up for so I'm going sticking to it and hopefully save the Earth from these vaporizing creatures.
Everyone started to make their way into the broken Hall of Justice and I slowly made my way in thinking about how we were going to stop these aliens. I knew it wasn't really my job to be thinking the way I was but I was a part of this team which means I have to contribute 100%.
"They're really gone." Robin said looking down at all the ruble. I watched M'gann float over to the destroyed statue of her uncle and begin to cry, I wanted so badly to comfort her but I wasn't sure I would be able to. She gasped and moved the statues head out of the way to show a very confused looking Martian Manhunter.
"Uncle J'onn." M'gann began to fly over to him but Aqualad stopped her before she could.
Aqualad: M'gann check his mind, make insure he's who he appears to be.
M'gann: It's him, he's real he's alive!
"We saw you get disintegrated you and Superman and everyone." Superboy yelled. "Yes I remember but I cannot remember how I survived or how I arrived here." Manhunter said holding his head. As much as I wanted to believe his it just didn't seem right with him just appearing out of nowhere. If he's here then does that mean everyone else is alive somewhere else?
"Maybe you were density shifting and the beam passed right through you?" M'gann said with a hint of hope in her voice.
"Scrambling your brain along the way." Robin yelled slightly scaring me. Oh my gosh, now it made so much sense to me, they weren't being vaporized but they were being transported somewhere else for the time being. As for Manhunter he was trying his best to get out of the way and was transported to the one place he thought of. The others ran off and I stayed where I was thinking of a way to help them out instead of just standing around like a lump. Hello, Nina we take out the mother ship and the others will go running with their tails between their legs.
"Nina what are you waiting for we're heading to the Cave let's go." Kid said giving me a small smile. I nodded and followed him to another room where everyone was being zetaed to the Cave. There was a loud boom and a huge rock landed beside me. Aqualad grabbed me and pushed me into the transporter.

I looked back see if Aqualad was behind me but he had turned around and began fighting. "Aqualad!" I yelled as he was vaporized. I was transported to the Cave and I collapsed, I couldn't hold it in anymore. A river of tears poured down face and I felt someone kneel beside me and I knew it was Robin trying his best to comfort me. "We have to take out the Mother ship it's the only way we can beat them." I said in between sobs. This was defiantly not how I wanted to start off my first mission.
"Don't worry we'll get everyone back and everything will be just fine, I promised to keep you safe and I'm making sure that I keep that promise." He helped me up and we walked over to the others.
"Our next mission is Earth, we believe the aliens are teleporting their victims and the only reasonable detention facility is here the mother ship on top what used to be Smallville." Robin pulled up a photo. "Ring any bells?" We looked over at Manhunter who still looked like he was lost in another world. "No I'm sorry." He put his hand on his head and patted his back hoping he would remember soon so we could help everyone.
"Superboy you'll create a distraction…" He was cut off but M'gann telling him no. As romantic as it was this wasn't the time to be disagreeing. "I'll help create a distraction as well, if you guys get stuck on the inside how do you expect to get out?" I said. Robin looked like he wanted to say something but he kept his mouth shut. We started to prepare and I made sure to pick up a bunch of explosives, and smoke bomb just in case I would need to get everyone else out of the way. I was willing to sacrifice myself for all of them if it meant saving the world and saving their lives.
"Are you sure you want to do this? I could always put you with Miss Martian; you would have a better chance of surviving. Plus if we don't make it she can take you back to Mars where I'm sure you would be safe." Robin said appearing in my doorway. I smiled and shook my head; I was sticking to my plan. He walked up to me and pulled me into an embrace. I relaxed and hugged him back feeling a couple tears escape my eyes. "We're going to get through this all we have to do is wait for the right time." He said placing a small kiss on my lips.
"Hey guys we… and I just ruined the moment sorry about that." Kid said running off. He took my hand and we headed for the Bioship to head off to finish this huge mess. The whole ride to Smallville I was so anxious I was ready for anything those E.T.'s were going to throw at me because I was going to through it back twice as hard, or at least try to. We made it to Smallville with very little problems and I got myself ready.
"First team deploy." I held on to M'gann as she and Martian Manhunter flew me over to one of the openings and they disappeared inside of the ship. Pretty soon I heard a bunch of banging and then the hatch opened up letting out a bunch of ships that were probably going after Superboy. I ran inside and Kid Flash and Robin bolted inside behind me. We hide behind a giant pillar and waited for another ship to deploy.
Robin: Wave cleared go.
We made our way through the ship and I purposely ran behind them planting small bombs like Robin had told me earlier. I looked back at M'gann who was on the ground with tears pouring down her face.
M'gann: No he's gone.
Kid: It's alright we'll find him with Artemis, I know it.
Manhunter: No my mind is clearer now the disintegration beam is exactly that there is no detention facility no prisoners to rescue our mission hold no purpose.
Kid: No your wrong the Zeta radiation proves she's alive she…
Robin: Stop it KF I've been scanning for League and Team signal since we got inside they're not here. Artemis is gone, but our mission still holds purpose we have to destroy this mother ship.
Robin looked back at me and nodded and I made my way back to one the entrance that we came through. I had to find some way to keep this thing open long enough for the others to come back and get out safely. Good thing Robin gave me a more downscale version of his holographic computer. I tried hacking into the system which was awfully hard see how I couldn't understand anything that I was trying to hack.
Robin: We're on our way now did you get it?
Nina: No everything is in code and it can't be translated so you guys need to hurry its open right now.
I the door slammed close just as Kid and the other ran up to it. I ran pass them and saw the E.T.'s coming straight towards me. Great if only I could lead them somewhere else and try to get the door open.
Robin: Nina come back now!
Nina: Forget about me try and get the door open I know you're better at this hacking thing than I am. It's your job as leader to make sure the rest of the Team make it out in one piece so just go.
Robin: If this is your way of proving yourself you already have just come back please.
Nina: I'll see you on the other side.
I broke the connection and continued to run until I was corner, go thing I had begun to set these little explosives all over the place. They began to detonate taking out the many E.T's that we're following behind the others. After the smoke cleared out all of them were lying in a piling heap. "Yes, I wonder if the others got out." I turned around and before I could even think my world was darkened.

My eyes shot open and I saw Black Canary standing over me. I'm alive how is that even possible I thought I was vaporized. "Your all alive!" As much as I was happy to hear M'gann's voice it was sounding like nails on a chalkboard my head my just pulsating.
"Are you alright Nina you look like you're going to throw up?" Canary said helping me up slowly. Just as she said that I felt my stomach flip and my breakfast from this morning ended up all over the floor.
"The training exercise went all wrong." Martian Manhunter said. Hold on a second did he just say that was a training exercise? Are you kidding me that had to have been the most terrifying thing that had ever happened to me and he's saying it was a training exercise! I looked over at Robin who was sweating bullets and looking down at his feet. I felt like I had to throw up again but I held it down the best that I could. I laid back down and saw Canary coming back to me with a glass of something that I hoped was water but judging by the color it wasn't.
I had been through many traumas before but this one had had just taken the cake. I have no idea how I'll ever be able to forget this one.
