I don't own Young Justice.

A/N: Okay. There are two chapters again today, but this is like a continuation to the prior one. It was originally one chapter, but I couldn't make it all for.

Read. Review. Enjoy.

VANESSA POV (FIRST PERSON)

There was an unsettling silence in the entire cave. I knew the Team had come back from there mission, I saw them return when I was ... overly expressive. Not that I was concerned, I just wanted to make sure Artemis was okay.

"Where are the others?" I asked him.

As if to answer my question, Kid Flash and Robin moved down the hallway. Robin in a wheelchair.

"What happened to them?"

"They got hurt on their last mission."

"Where's Artemis?"

"She got hurt too."

I thought for a moment. For once this wasn't my fault, and I felt more guilty than if it were. I had to do something.

I hopped out the bed. I was going to make something happen.

"Where are you going?" Alex asked.

"I need to stretch out my legs."

"You know you're not really in good standing with anybody?"

I thought about that for a second. He was right. Everyone hated me, but did that mean I still shouldn't tryand make things right? Maybe this would be my chance to prove myself, to prove I was more capable of being a compassionate person than I had been showing.

I continued to walk out. I had to make things right.

"You need to rest."

"How long was I out?"

"About a day."

"Then that's how long I rested. Now where's Artemis?"

He knew there was no point in arguing with me.

"All the way down the hall."

"Thank you."

I exited the room, but not in the direction that Alex had showed me. Robin was in bad shape. I had to help him first. Maybe then they would all except me, even Superboy.

I went down the opposite end of the hall. It led to the main entrance of the cave. It was still dismantled and in disarray. At the holographic screen stood Kid Flash with Robin sitting next to him in a wheelchair, slightly twitching every now and then. I couldn't tell what was wrong with him, but he wasn't acting normal.

As I came down, I saw Robin sticking his arm out from his nose to in front of his body. I didn't know what that was good for. It made him look more ridiculous than what he already did. If I heard Kid Flash's diagnosis correctly, Robin had Asynergia and Ataxic dysarthria. I guess that affected how he walked and talked. A few times, Kid Flash had to help Robin back in his chair aftershifting his weight, but missing his target body rest. Yeah, he definitely needed my help.

I couldn't just walk up, touch him on his head and walk away. They would be suspicious and ask questions, the last thing I needed right now. I had to look like I knew what I was doing, act natural, but I couldn't think of anything.

I finally decided. I lifted my shirt so that it was covering my face. I hoped that they would believe I was looking for something on my chest. My plan was to "accidentally" bump into Robin then heal him. Then I would run off and try to be as inconspicuous as possible.

I walked over to where they were standing, and it just so happened that Kid Flash was in the way of Robin. As I made my way closer, I pretended to trip over his foot. Landing on Robin, as planned.

"Hey, what are you doing?" Kid Flash asked, quite angrily.

"G... g... get off m... m... me," Robin said equally upset.

I only was able to make contact for a few seconds, causing us both to fall. From what I could tell though, I think it was enough.

"Sorry, I didn't see you. I wasn't really paying attention," I replied as I got up.

"Well, next time be more careful," Robin said, a little kinder this time.

I ran off. My work there was done. Now it was time for me to help Artemis.

THIRD PERSON POV

"Well, next time be more careful."

Robin got up not using anything to steady himself. As he was about to sit back in the wheelchair, it dawnedon him; he was standing.

"KF, look."

As his best friend turned around, Robin began performing the same hand-eye coordination test he hadjust been running minutes before.

"Rob, you'll live, you just... Wait. Dude, you're standing on your own. How? Two seconds ago, you couldn't even sit right."

Robin shook his head. He didn't quite understand himself, but he had to make sure he was back to full capacity. He ran around the open space, jumping off high platform objects, performing flips in mid-air, and other acrobatic skills. Though his landings were a bit shaky, he was performing at peak condition.

As he headed back to where his awestruck friend was standing, another realization occurred to him.

"Vanessa," he said to himself.

"Dude, how?"

Robin pushed Kid Flash out the way of the computer.

"Her powers."

"Who's powers?"

"Vanessa's. She did this. She, I don't know, she healed me. When she fell on top of me. There's a lot more to these kids than meets the eye."

VANESSA POV (FIRST PERSON POV)

I rushed past the room I had been admitted to. Alex came out as I did.

"I thought you were visiting Artemis?"

"I am, but I had to do something else first. Do you want to come with me?"

He shrugged his shoulders and agreed.

We walked down the relatively quiet hallway. Alex already knew what I was planning to do when we reached our destination.

"Vanessa, you know we just had an energy drain?"

"Yeah, I felt it while I was sleeping."

"Then this might not be the best time to do this."

"I'll be fine," I said matter of factly.

"If you pass out then this is your fault, and I'm not helping you."

"Okay."

There was no stopping me.

We entered the room at the other end of their hall. It was quiet except for the occasional beep of the machinery. Artemis was pale. Her face had discomfort written on it, even while unconscious. She had a breathing machine attached to her face. I knew this wasn't my fault, but I hated to see her like this. I mean after all she had done. I guess I had trusted get more than I thought. She was like the older sibling I never had. Well, at least the older sister.

"They said her liver and lungs were messed up."

I took a deep breath. She was hurt a lot more than Robin, so this was gonna take a lot more out of me, but it was a risk I was prepared to take.

I placed my hands relatively near the hurt areas and went to work.

A soft glow emanated from my hands. I concentrated entirely on Artemis.

We stayed like that for what felt like forever. It was probably only like two minutes. But it took a lot out of me. I thought I was gonna pass out, but I did my best to stay awake and not give Alex the satisfaction of being right all the time.

I pulled back from Artemis. At first, nothing happened. She lay there just as lifeless as before. Thoughts of failure that had been planted since I was young raced back to my head.

I guess Alex saw my dejected look.

"It's okay Vanessa. You tried your best."

But as soon as the words had left his lips, Artemis began to stir. She looked around with the initial confusion everyone has. Then she saw us.

"Hey guys," she said weakly.

I was elated. I embraced her in a hug immediately. I don't know if I was more happy to see her awake or that I was actually able to heal her. Artemis sat up in the bed. She hugged me back, but with apprehension. Alex was laughing his head off.

I let Artemis go. She gave me a small smile.

"What are you laughing at?" I snapped at Alex.

"You never hug anyone. I guess Miss Martian did more to your head than you thought."

"Shut up!"

"It's okay Vanessa," Artemis said, "I'm sure he wishes for hugs too. This was the first hug in a long time for me too."

The color had been restored in her face, she had removed the breathing device, and she didn't look to be in pain anymore. I say I did a pretty good job. I couldn't help but grin.

"You did this didn't you?"

I nodded.

"Thanks."

We sat and watched her as she ran a self assessment of how well she had really recovered. I had never really seen her fight before or use her bow until now. I was blown away by how good she was, and she said that wasn't even her best.

We all walked out together. Alex and Artemis were talking as I followed in bliss. I began to lag behind. I was lost in thought when I was grabbed roughly by the arm. Ididn't know that we were passing the room Miss Martian was in.

"This is all your fault! Do you know what you did to her?" He pointed to Miss Martian through the glass.

"The moment you got here things started going wrong. Your no good, nothing but trouble."

"I'm sorry."

"Sorry doesn't fix Miss Martian. I swear if you hurt someone else I'm coming after you."

"Hey, what's going on back here?" Artemis asked.

"So you fix her, but you won't fix the one you caused the greatest harm. I'm gonna ..." He yelled out.

He was gonna come at me, attack me. I don't know why I was so scared. I had seen worse than him, but maybe it was the bloodthirsty look in his eyes. I thought he was gonna come after me. I was done for.

"Touch her, and you have to go through me." It was Artemis.

I looked up. Artemis and Alex were standing around me ready to attack back. Hands charged and arrows locked and loaded.

"You won't lay a hand on my sister."

"You're defending these kids, but all they've caused us is trouble. They need to be taught a lesson!"

It looked like they were about to fight when Alex clutched his head and fell to the ground.

"No, no, nooooo!" he yelled.

An explosion filled the tiny hallway.

"Allow me to teach them then."

It was a sinister, smooth voice that I had so many times before. A voice that haunted me in my worse dreams. It was him.

B'rnazz.
