"What's the emergency?" Spoiler asked.

"Cluemaster, AKA Arthur Brown, has escaped from Arkahm Asylum. Spoiler, you've fought this guy before, anything we should know before sending you guys out in the field?" Aqualad stated.

"Yes, over the years he developed extreme paranoia and OCD." Spoiler spoke quietly."Which is why he was tossed into Arkahm."

"He will have at least three dozen men. All armed." Robin stepped forward. His voice confident.

"He'll try to use the men as bodyguards set in key points of the building. Do we know where he's hiding?"

"Yes, he is using his old apartment, the one where he killed his wife in." Kaldur spoke in monotone.

"I know the place." was Spoiler's response.


Flashback: Stephanie is nine years old and has grown considerably. Her hair is longer, and she stopped wearing the steaks. Despite what Jason had told her she went to her former house, but she wasn't stupid, she called the cops and said she might know something on the Crystal Bellinger-Brown murder. She had told them where the killer was and counted the thirty minutes (Let's face it the cps are corrupt in this city, it's likely they took there sweet time getting there 'cause they really dont care and can do whatever they want.) it took them to get there. She had to get some things. She had a mental list: Her mother's favorite ring on a chain that she wore around her neck, that thank god she didn't wear the night her mother took her to the carnival some clothes; and some sneakers. Stephanie snuck around and got the items and put them in a cheap book bag, but not undetected. Her father had called out that he know she was there. She cursed to herself, she hadn't relized her father was home, but his breath smelled like vodka and beer. She stepped into plain view and walked up to him. He was ranting about how much taller she was compared to how he remembered her and how she was starting to look like him, all the while rubbing the back off his hand. then he went owen about how it was her fault he killed her mother. the the half hour was up the sirens were blaring outside the apartment complex. this sent her father in an uncontrollable rage. He smacked her so hard she fell to the poorly carpeted floor and her lip was bleeding.

"Why did you call the police on your own father?! Didn't I tell you that blood is the most important thing that matters?"

"You're not my blood. A real father wouldn't kill his wife, his daughter's mother! She was my blood! You're nothing to me." Stephanie said the last sentence in away that would make Batman pee his pants. She stood up defiantly and walked to the fire escape and slid down the ladders, with Jason waiting on the ground.

"Got everythin' you need babe?" Jason wasn't shocked when she came down the fire escape. He didn't blame her so when the argued about it he finally gave in and went with her.

"Yes." Let's go."

"All civilians moved out years ago because of structural weakness and curtain rooms have collapsed." Spoiler informed the team, and pointing to a hologram model of the old apartment complex.

"Why do you know so much about this?" Lagoon boy yelled. Arsenal stood up to defend her.

"Because none of your damn business." Arsenal snapped.

"No Roy he's right. He has a right to know why I know so much about Cluemaster". Spoiler smiled spitefully.

"Spoiler..." Tim's voice dripped with uncertainty.

"Boy wonder, I know what I'm doing." Spoiler said with a strait face, which was becoming more frequent with her, the team noticed.

"Thats what I'm afraid of." Tim replied.

"What going on?" Jamie asked. In response Spoiler took off her hood stood up in the ship and took off her mask for everyone to see.

"My name is Stephanie Alice brown and I know everything about Cluemaster because he is my father. He abused me most of my child hood and killed my mother when I was eight years old" Spoiler announced to the team.


(Sorry about the late chapter. I hit writers block. Then i got bulldozed by ideas and it took a couple days to sort out my ideas. I did not want Cluemaster to show up yet, but next time. also Arthur knows something about Wally. Also please reread the last section while imagining Spoiler, Robin, Wonder-girl, Static, Arsenal, Blue Beetle, Kid Flash/impulse, and Lagoon boy. thanks.)
