A/N: I'm going to keep things going as they have been. Superboy and Raven will be their adorably cute selves. Without further ado, let's get the story going.

Raven's Justice

Chapter 10: Infiltrator

Raven's P.O.V.

The team decided once again that a Beach day was in order. The sun was shining and at the moment we didn't have a mission.

Unfortunately Wally was the only normal guy in the group. So he had school.

Sucker.

We all walked down onto the beach with our swimsuits on, our towels and sunglasses with us. Robin stopped us before we could get into the water.

He jokingly says to the group "First, a moment of silence for our absent comrade."

Everyone just stayed quiet. Since I graduated in my world I felt no sympathy for him, everyone has to do their own time. Kaldur I assumed is done, but I have no idea what Atlantian school systems are like. Superboy was artificially given enough education to simulate a complete education. Robin may be highly intelligent, but he still has a long way to go. But he was smart enough to find a way out of school today.

It seemed like enough time had passed when I broke the silence "Okay enough time on that. Let's go in the water."

I dropped my stuff and then floated over to the water and did a cannon ball into the water. Superboy laughed and dropped his stuff and did a gigantic jump and landed right near me.

The water was cool but the hot weather made the experience pleasant. I then saw Robin push Kaldur slightly to get a head start and ran towards the water. Kaldur was the last in but he seemed the most at peace, and was happy overall. I could feel his positive energy and it just made everyone's mood better.

I don't know if it was all the time I was spending with Superboy or if it was the finally feeling like I belonged in this team, but I feel good. I have a wonderful boyfriend, I'm on a beach at the moment, and my team is safe.

The time just flew by.

Kaldur just threw a jet of water at Superboy who flung back about 20feet. I laughed and started to swim out towards him. I meet him half way, and he pulls me to him. Since we were kind of far away from the shore, I took the risk and gave him a kiss. Thank goodness for his super-strength and that he could keep the both of us afloat. Superboy responded quickly. I wrapped my legs around his waist and my fingers went through his hair. I felt his arms wrap around my back.

As soon as it started, it had to end. We both leaned back, my arms rested on his shoulders as we caught our breaths. I gave him a quick kiss and unhooked my legs and he just smiled back at me. We swim slowly back and once we get to the shallow end, our hands went back together. Our fingers intertwined and we just stay in the water a little longer.

Robin then called out "Hey let's make some lunch, I'm starving", so we unfortunately we had to let our hands go.

Superboy answered back "You just read my mind." And then he said quietly back to me, "Aren't you glad that I brought the little grill, and hot dogs."

"You have no idea." I say back with a smile.

Wally's P.O.V.

School sucks.

Let's make that clear.

Now, having to go to school while the rest of your teammates are off at the beach is just cruel. That just ruined my first day of sophomore year. Then one thing after another, just made this day unbearable.

Having to keep my powers in check is extremely hard. I have to stay still as I get water from the water fountain on my crotch. And then again I have to stay still as I get a dodgeball thrown at my face, that freaking hurts.

Then when the school bell finally rang, I bolted as fast as I could to the cave. But when I got there it was dark. That didn't stop us last time so it shouldn't stop us now.

The first thing I say when I get to the cave I say "The Wall-man is here. Now, let's get this party star—Unh!" I tripped, and of course the whole team was in there uniforms with Red Tornado and Batman. They looked as though they were getting ready for a mission.

"—ted."

So I obviously missed everything, this day is a total let down.

I noticed that there were a couple others joined the usual Cave guests. The Green Arrow was there and this girl, who looked to be a fellow archer and somehow attached to G.A. I could tell by her forest green shirt, pants, and half-mask. Her quiver and bow seemed to match as well, but the colors of the feathers on the arrows were a light green that matched different parts of her outfit. She also had long blonde hair; it reached down to her hips and was tied together in a ponytail. Even though she is smoking hot she instantly gets on my nerves by saying "Wall-man, huh? I love the uniform. What exactly are your powers?"

I instantly feel out of the loop, so I ask "Uh, who is this?"

Instead of one of my FRIENDS answer she buts in with "Artemis, your new teammate."

So I go "Kid Flash, never heard of you."

Green Arrow decides to jump in now and tell not just me but the entire group "Um, she's my new protégé."

No, that's way too soon. So I decide to try and defend Roy "What happened to your old one?"

Speak of the devil, the computer then halts the conversation by saying "Recognized: Speedy, B06." Roy immediately goes into what he had to say "Well, for starters, he doesn't go by 'Speedy' anymore. Call me Red Arrow."

Green Arrow tries to talk to him by starting out with "Roy, you look—"but he was cut off by Roy when he said "Replaceable."

Green Arrow then continues with "It's not like that. You told me you were going solo." Trying to justify himself.

But Roy responded quickly with "So why waste time finding a sub? Can she even use that bow?"

Artimas, probably feeling offended, responds back with "Yes, she can."

But I'm still completely lost on who she ACTUALLY IS! "Who are you!"

But suspiciously they both answer at the same time "His niece." They obviously planned that, so they aren't niece and uncle.

Robin catches this and says, laced with attitude, "Another niece?"

Aqualad enforces what Green Arrow says by adding and also clarifying "But she is not your replacement. We have always wanted you on the team. And we have no quota on archers."

I follow up supportively (I hope) "And if we did, you know who we'd pick."

But Artimas had to add. "Whatever, Baywatch, I'm here to stay."

Thankfully Kaldur called us back to Roy himself by asking "You came to us for a reason."

"Yeah, a reason named Dr. Serling Roquette."

Robin immediately goes to work on researching at break neck speeds on who she was "Nanorobotics genius and claytronics expert at Royal University in Star City. Vanished two weeks ago."

Roy corrects him "Abducted two weeks ago by the League of Shadows."

Robin turns out to be super psyched "Whoa! You want us to rescue her from the Shadows?" Which I have to agree with and I say "Hardcore" then Robin and I do our signature fist bump.

Roy then crushed our dreams by saying "I already rescued her. Only one problem, the Shadows had already coerced her into creating a weapon. Doc calls it The Fog, comprised of millions of microscopic robots. Nanotech infiltrators. Capable of disintegrating anything in their path. Concrete, steel, flesh, bone. But its true purpose isn't mere destruction. It's theft. The infiltrators eat and store raw data from any computer system and deliver the stolen intel to the Shadows providing them access to weapons strategic defense, cutting-edge science and tech."

Artimas is the first to talk after Roy's monologue "Perfect for extortion, manipulation, power broking. Yeah, sounds like the Shadows."

Pshh. "Like you know anything about the Shadows." How can a newbie like her know anything about the League of Shadows, which is high level bad guy stuff. Not something she would know. Then she gave me ANOTHER look and I yell again "Who are you?" but all she does is smile. Why won't she answer?! Ugh!

Roy continues "Roquette's working on a virus to render The Fog inert."

Robin then responds with "But if the Shadows know she can do that …"

Roy then finishes his sentence with "… They'll target her. Right now she's off the grid. I stashed her at the high school's computer lab."

Apparently that was the wrong thing to do because Green Arrow said almost immediately "You left her alone?"

Roy reassured him "She's safe enough for now,"

Green Arrow tries to keep it an archer thing by saying "Then let's you and I keep her that way."

But Roy wouldn't have it "You and I? Don't you wanna take your new protégé?"

Green Arrow wanted to keep going but Batman had enough, and stopped and gave him a look.

Green Arrow got back on track by saying "You brought this to the team. It's their mission which means it's hers now too."

Roy didn't seem to share his view "Pfft! Then my job's done."

We all watched him leave. The computer began to say "Recognized: Speedy—" Roy stops it and updates the computers data base by saying "That's Red Arrow, B06. Update." And then he was gone.

We hadn't seen him in a month, and when we do he's like this. He's distant, angry, and rude (not that I'll say that to anyone).

Raven's P.O.V.

I don't really know what to think of our new addition to our team. I can already tell that she's strong, that much is definitely clear. But the attitude might become an issue, especially with Wally who she seemed to have already caused an incident with earlier. Though there is something off about her, I'm not sure what. The Justice League did give her the okay, so I'll give her the benefit of the doubt. I can't help but be a little happy that there's another girl on the team.

But all this has to be put aside; we did actually have a mission to due.

At this exact moment the team was at the Happy Harbor High School only a couple miles away from the cave.

I was stationed as a look out on the roof, on patrol. Superboy was also somewhere on patrol, but he took the ground, obviously. I was in the sky's to keep watch on everything, but unfortunately that left a lot of time to think.

My relationship with Superboy obviously came to mind. Everything was going great literally. In my relationship with Robin earlier, it took a long time and a lot of inner convincing. But with this relationship it felt like a breath of fresh air. I don't feel awkward or rushed. The only thing that kind of worried me was if he felt the same. From the beginning I swore to never read his mind, but sometimes it's so tempting.

"Raven, link us up." Aqualad's voice came over the comm. He continued with "We do not want the Shadows intercepting our comm."

We've been practicing connecting each other's minds, so it only took seconds. Slightly longer this times because of the new addition, I welcomed them with "Everyone online."

Artimas was the first to respond with "Oh, this is weird."

replied next with a bitchy attitude that rivaled Blackfire. "And distracting. Coding a distributed algorithm virus on a kiddie computer with less RAM than a wristwatch is hard enough. Now I have to hear teen, think in my skull."

Thankfully Kid Flash spoke his mind "Lady, do you always complain when someone tries to help you?" Unfortunately he was responded to quickly by the new snarky teammate Artimas. "Pot, kettle. Have you met?" The conversation between the two continued with Kid Flash added "Hey, I do not need attitude from the newbie who drove Red Arrow off the team." After I heard this I couldn't stay quiet, "Kid, that was uncalled for." Artimas threw back almost at the same time, sounding sincere and hurt, "That is so not on me."

Roquette then interrupted the 'private' conversation by adding "Fate of the world at stake."

Kid Flash then stupidly said " She started it."

Artimas feeling dejected then suggested, "How about I help Raven and Superboy patrol the perimeter?" I then try to comfort her by saying "We would love to have you."

Aqualad seemed to feel my sympathy, "Good Idea."

Apparently I wasn't the only one who felt like Kid was being incredibly hard on Artimas. Robin then added only a couple minutes after the mental scuffle "You might cut her some slack. It was her arrow that saved your ass against Amazo."This was news to Wally who says "What? No, that was Speedy's—I mean, Red Arrow's arrow, right?" Robin broke it to him by saying "Not so much." Kid who was having a hard time grasping this, because he said in response was "Huh. Well, still not giving her the satisfaction."

Kid forgot a very important detail in this conversation. Mainly that it wasn't a conversation but telepathic messages, especially that everyone could listen, and that included Artimas. Who artfully responded "You know, I can still hear you." We all hilariously heard Wally's response of "Argh!"

Then we heard off in the background of our minds our mission being even bitchier than before "I couldn't get the Justice League."

Aqualad then took lead with dealing with her, because honestly no one could have that kind of patience. He then asked her directly "The virus won't be of much use if we cannot find the weapon. Can you track it?" She responded back with "My Utility Fog is not a weapon. It's science, brilliant science. And of course I can track it, but I'd have to go online. Might as well rent a billboard with this address and 'assassinate me' written in neon." I could hear the worry in her voice, even though she disguised it well with bitchiness. Aqualad of course knew the right thing to say to her to calm her down enough to continue working by saying "We will protect you." We all then braced for impact when she said "Tracking The Fog now."

We increased our rounds, it helped a lot that Superboy and I gained Artimas.

Everything was quiet and then we heard something rustling outside the back-gate. Superboy there unsurprisingly came here only seconds after Artimas and I.

Then Artimas made the unfortunate mistake of saying "Mm! That boy…"

I then feel a flare of jealously and say "I have to agree. Thankfully I snatched him before anyone else could."

"I'm not a piece of meat over here", but I could hear the humor in his voice. I think he might be flattered that I'm jealous, either way it reassures my faith with him seeing him so relaxed about the situation.

"My statement doesn't change. That is one fine boy." She said this; thankfully I could see in her body language that she understood that he was mine. If I for some reason wasn't reading her right, I would soon let her know, and I would not be as kind in my next discussion.

Thankfully Aqualad stepped in once again as referee by saying "Raven, has located The Fog. Bring over the Bioship so that Robin and Superboy can pursue."

I only had to call the ship telepathically and it landed and appeared in the field next to the school.

"The ship is here and ready to go when you are." I say mainly to Robin and Superboy.

Once they were gone it was just Artimas and I guarding the back entrance. I could feel the tension in the air. Artimas was the first to speak "I didn't mean to step on any toes. I didn't realize that you two were a thing." I knew she was being sincere, and was just trying to keep up her appearance. "I know you didn't but do not make that mistake again." As I said this I tried to intimidate her, mainly by making my eyes glow red, and darkness just seemed to flow out of from underneath my cloak. My efforts payed off when I saw how paled she'd gotten, and that she was a couple steps from where I saw her last. "Don't worry the message was received loud and clear… So how is he—"I know she was just testing my boundaries, but I just want to reinforce my territory. "Don't even go there."

After a few moments I break the silence again. "So why do you always challenge everyone? I'm not trying to offend you I'm just honestly just curious."

"That's fine. Well where I come from that's how you survive."

Wally's P.O.V.

So I was patrolling the hallways inside the school. I spent all day at school and now I have a mission at a school. When can I get a break?

But thankfully I was in my stealth mode suit. I was able to blend into the shadows.

Everything was going as planned. As in no one has come into the school.

Then I heard something in the next hall over. Which turned out to be the indoor pool.

I go over there to investigate and of course at my usual speed. But there was a trap; I think there were round stones or maybe even marbles, either way I ended up on the floor.

As I recollect myself I see a woman. She had black and gray leg guards, a green Asian like tunic that just barely covered her but, black crazy hair, and one of the creepiest masks I've ever seen. Her voice was as intoxicating as her attire; it just pulled you further down the rabbit hole.

Then it was lights out.

[_[-]_]

Aqualad's P.O.V.

Everything was quiet. The Doctor was steadily working on The Fog. I made sure to keep an eye on her, she was abrasive in nature and needed to be reassured.

Thankfully I was standing by her when I felt something go towards her. I was able to stop the projectile, but now she was vulnerable. I got up and went back over to her and was able to push her aside. Unfortunately I got 3 of the projectiles, now darts, in my left arm.

Then the attacker came in. Once she entered the light I could see defining features so that I can identify her later to the League but at this moment I have no idea who she is.

As she's rushing towards us she says "Hmm, that had to hurt."

The fight has begun, and with that the banter begins. "Atlantean skin is quite dense." I grab with my right hand my baton, my magic is coursing through that arm and my marks are glowing in response.

"And my shuriken are quite poisonous." She says as we go head to head, with my two batons, which have formed into swords against her two shurikens.

I take the time to call the team telepathically "Raven, Kid, Artimas, we are under attack in the computer lab."

Artimas replied immediately "On our way."

As our fight continued, I had difficulties keeping it between the attacker and I and to keep her safe. But the task was becoming more and more difficult. She had tossed her shuriken at Roquette's head, and only missed by a couple inches. She then said afterwards "Almost."

She then inquired "Poison slowing you down?"

The pain was almost non-existent, so the poison must be aquatic in nature "Jellyfish toxin. I'm largely immune."

She then pushed me to ground and said "Largely", and was about to make a kill shot but was thankfully interrupted. Artimas shot at her and said "Don't move", which jarred the attacker enough to stop. That gave me enough time to stand up and get ready for another attack. I position myself between the Doctor and the attacker.

The attacker looks at Artimas and I and says "Heh. This gig's getting interesting."

Then Artimas shot straight at her, but the attacker easily dodged the arrow with her sword, which seemed to have magically appeared out of nowhere. Unfortunately these blocked arrows came at the Doctor. Kid Flash and Raven both appeared in time to stop the arrows from doing any damage.

The attacker then said as she looked at the team "Maybe a little too interesting." It was almost eerie how calm and collected this woman was, it added to the mystery with the mask and costume. She grabbed something out of her belt and Kid tried to run and grab her. In less than a second a bang went off, dark smoke appeared and Kid was sent flying at Artimas.

Once he stood up he was the first to realize that she was "Gone".

I looked at the group, and everyone seemed safe. Then I hear the grating voice of the dear Doctor saying, no screeching in my ear "She's getting away. You're letting her get away."

Kid then turns to Artimas and start yelling at her saying "This is your fault. You were on perimeter. How'd that Shadow get in?"

I had to give Artimas credit; she just stood there and took it. But then Raven came in and told Kid "Don't go bagging on Artimas. If you need to blame someone blame me. It was my responsibility to watch over her, this being her first mission with the team and all. I should have been more observant."

"I don't blame you. I just don't think she was pulling her weight, and let a Shadow sneak through our barriers. I could never blame you. You gave me mouth-to-mouth."

Everyone via telepathy said "We heard that."

He then said intelligently "Damn it."

Raven then continued with her pep-talk and says "I don't blame you. First missions are difficult, and overall you did a good job. I know you've been new to this… business. The fault is on the team not on any one member."

This is may be beneficial for Artimas, but we need to keep the mission going. I say to the team "Focus, everyone. The Shadows will be back."

[_[-]_]

Superboy's P.O.V.

I felt bad for leaving Raven alone with the others. I could almost feel the tension between her and Artimas, especially after her flirty comment towards me. I honestly hoped that she would have enough faith in me to know that I would be 100% faithful to her and only her. On a brighter side the mini mission that Robin and I were on was going well so far, we were in the air and almost to the location. He then chose this exact moment to alert the rest of the team on the comm system "Robin to Aqualad. We're over Philadelphia. We've located the Shadow's next target: S.T.A.R. Labs. We're too late. It's destroyed, totally destroyed. The Fog decimated it. This is bad. S.T.A.R. Labs is cutting-edge science. Now their secrets are in the hands of the enemy. What's our next move?"

While he was relaying all this information back to the team, I was witnessing the destruction. The building looked like it was almost professionally demolished. All I could do at the moment was just wait to hear from Aqualad.

"Rescan the Fog. We are moving the Doctor."

[_[-]_]

Raven's P.O.V.

We were in a cabin in some random place. The Doctor had her computer, or at least a computer to work with. After Wally's argument with Artimas, they were just glaring at one another. And apparently even Aqualad was being affected. He finally said after what seemed like forever "Stop it both of you."

Then of course they responded at the same time "What?"

Even though Aqualad was not even in the building he could feel the awkwardness and he admits this by saying "I can hear you glaring."

The plan was for me to imitate the Doctor; with my shapeshifting abilities it would be quite simple. Thankfully I was able to stop the arrows from the same attacker from earlier, before they hit home. I then here her (the attacker) say "The Dark one's here. It's now or never."

I then try to 'escape' and she then 'stops' me. I was on the floor and then to kind of freak her out I phase through the floor and come back out upright with my eyes all glowing and darkness just oozing out of me.

"We've been duped."

I break the news by saying "You'll never be able to find Dr. Roquette in time." This was also part of the plan, to keep them talking. We have to waste a lot of time to keep them from their actual goal.

So far so good, the female assailant takes lead and says "Never is such a long time. Pursuing target. Keep them busy." She then darts off through the doors of the building.

Artimas takes initiative and says to Kid and I "Pursuing their leader. Take the rest down."

Kid of course has to have the last word by saying "You are so not the boss of me."

She answers right back "Just do it." It may be the wrong moment during the middle of a fight, they would be good together. Right. Sorry… Back to the fight at hand. I was dealing with the guy with the extendable metal arm. This fight was going longer than we could stand so I tell Wally "Hey Kid, we need to stop this, now."

He then replies with "It's like you've read my mind."

I quickly throw the guys own arm at his head, instantly knocking him out. I say "Mine's out. Do you need any help?", as I descend to the floor. I actually take a good look at Kid and his attacker. Wally was covered in a sticky red stuff, but thankfully his guy was on the floor, passed out. Wally then responded with "Kind of. Do you know what I'm even wrapped up in? It smells gross."

It only took me a couple minutes to unravel him and once we did that we went onto the street to meet the others. We found Artimas, looking confused holding her bow. There were arrows stuck in the floor, and a mask left behind. The Doctor and Kaldur came out of a near-by building. Even though I could tell he was in pain all the way over here he was still on 'duty' he asked "Artimas. Where is the assassin?"

"She, uh—She got away." She looked extremely disappointed, and something else. I couldn't pinpoint it at this moment but I could swear she is hiding something.

Wally then wasted no time rubbing salt in her wounds by saying "Oh, from you? Oh, big surprise. Notice, we got ours."

It took me a while longer to get to the rest of them because I was responsible for tying up the guys. I levitated them to where the team seemed to convene.

As soon as Kid was bashing on Artimas he was looking at something else, more specifically a mask on the floor. He then claimed it by saying "Cool. Souvenir."

Kaldur then walked up to him, taking a harder look at the mask itself. He then inquired "Her mask? Unh! Did you see her-? Her face?"

Artimas then got all defensive and said back "It was dark."

Kaldur mistook this as shame from failing at a mission, but I could tell it was something different. But same as before I couldn't pin it down. He then says to her reassuringly "It is fine." He then continued with "Robin and Superboy neutralized The Fog and is safe thanks in no small part to you. Welcome to the team."

I know she'll tell me when she's ready. Being the only girls on the team, we'll bond whether we like it or not. Being away from other female company close to my age, is kind of wearing on me. So I try to put my best foot forward by saying "Seriously good job. I know we'll be close someday soon."

She then replies thoughtfully "I always wanted a sister, it would definitely be a new experience for me." I then take it upon myself to smack some sense into Wally by elbowing him in the gut. He then gets the message my responding with "Uh. Yeah, welcome." They even shake hands on it, I call it a win in my book.

[_[-]_]

It was almost morning when we got back to our rooms. I walk into our living room to find Superboy sitting there dozing off. His shirt had a gigantic hole in it. He looked absolutely exhausted.

I take off my cloak, and drape it over one of the trays. I then unravel my French braid, letting the day just ease off my shoulders. I take off my shoes and leave them near my cloak.

I then walked over to him; I gently woke him by calling his name softly.

"Superboy, wake up. You're going to ruin your back if you fall asleep like that. Come on wake up."

He wakes up enough to follow my instructions, and I lead him back to his room. Once I get him to a sitting position on his bed I take off the remnants of his shirt and then his shoes. I push him pack onto his bed and he was able to pull up the covers. But before I left the room, I hear him say softly "Stay, please."

I nod and turn off the lights. I climb into his bed, and he wraps his arms around me. I use his shoulder as a pillow and fall asleep to the sound of his heart beat. I wasn't completely sure if I imagined it or not but I felt him kiss my forehead and I nuzzled his chest.

I always sleep better with him by my side.

A/N: I know you guys have been asking for more chapters, and I have been cranking them out as fast as I can. But I have been loving all the reviews. To address BetaZackFan, I'm thinking about bring Beast Boy during his orgin part of the original story, but instead of him being created I'll have him be appear into this storyline, but I'm not 100% on anything at the moment so if you have any compelling cases let me know more. Vee thank you for giving that positive reinforcement, it is very much appreciated. And to Rose I hope this answers your desire. If you guys have any ideas that you would love to see, let me know. I might be able to squeeze it into one of the upcoming chapters.
