A/N: This has been a huge experience. I've working on this story for a while now, and now it's over. Thank you for all the lovely reviews, they were incredibly helpful. So for the last time, let's get on with the story.

Raven's Justice

Chapter 25: The End

Raven's P.O.V.

I thought things were finally settling down, I was totally and absolutely wrong. Things had started off well, it was New Year's Eve and we were living off the high of the night before.

We were called from our rooms to deal with a new matter at hand. Connor and I were holding hands as we headed over to the debriefing room. Kaldur took this time to explain what exactly was happening as we walked over to meet up with Batman and Red Tornado "We have reason to feel proud of yesterday's victories. But one thing has not changed."

Robin finished his sentence "Somehow the bad guys are still getting inside intel about us."

Wally pointed out "Yeah, but at least we know none of us are the mole."

Batman acknowledged him and agreed with him "That's correct. The mole was Red Arrow."

We were all shocked. But the three who knew him the most felt incredibly betrayed by this information. Wally, Robin, and Kaldur were part of the original team and knew each other while they were still sidekicks to the League members.

Robin was the first to voice his shock "Roy?"

Wally had a similar reaction and said to Batman "No way!"

Kaldur went last and took a more structured way of showing his shock by telling Batman respectfully "Batman, that cannot be. He was Green Arrow's protégé. We have all known him for years."

Red Tornado further explained to us "Unfortunately, the Roy Harper we have known for the last three years is another 'Project Cadmus' clone."

Batman continued by saying "We've learned the real Speedy was abducted and replaced immediately after becoming Green Arrow's sidekick. The clone was pre-programmed with a drive to join the Justice League which is why he was so angry over any delays to his admission and why he refused to join The Team. This Roy Harper had no idea he was a clone or a traitor. And his subconscious programming drove him to become League worthy. So he struck out on his own as Red Arrow. When he was finally admitted his secondary programming kicked in and he attempted to betray the League to Vandal Savage. Fortunately, I had already deduced Red Arrow was a clone. We were prepared."

Red Tornado followed up from where Batman left off by saying "Savage was subdued but Red Arrow escaped. He is now a fugitive armed and dangerous."

Connor, who I guess couldn't help but see the similarities, admitted "If you guys hadn't rescued me from Cadmus." During the course of the briefing our hands were no longer joined, I grabbed ahold of his hand again and squeezed it to let him know that it was okay. He gave a thin smile to let me know he understood my gesture. This mission was going to be tough on all of us. Especially the original team.

Robin then asked "What, what happened to the real Roy?"

Batman was quick to respond "We don't know. He isn't at Cadmus. We have to face the possibility that the real Roy Harper is dead."

After a moment of silence Kaldur assured Batman "The clone Roy, The Team will find him."

But Batman shot him down "Negative. Red Arrow's a member of the Justice League now. Leave him to us." He was then interrupted my incoming message on his comm, we could tell because he leaned forward and covered one ear with his hand. As if he was trying to listen to better to the message at hand. After a moment of silence Batman informed us "I'm needed on the Watchtower. Tornado, stay with the kids."

Kaldur then requested a telepathic link with the team, and I obliged. Kaldur then informed us "Clone or no clone, Red Arrow was one of us. We will go after him."

Red Tornado made an attempt to move or something but then froze up. It sounded like something short-circuited. I'm not sure what it was but it definitely sounded electrical in nature.

I yelled internally "Tornado!"

Connor then wondered "What happened to him?"

"He's totally powered down." Wally commented. Robin was checking Red Tornado over on his computer, after a second of checking the info he informed us "ALL functions offline."

Zatanna then mentioned "Guys, I'm sensing a low-level mystic force at play I-I don't know if it caused his shutdown but now that I think about it I was getting the same buzz off Batman." I checked as well and had to agree "I agree. There is definitely something magical going on here. I can't believe neither of us spotted it while he was here."

Robin then pointed it out "Batman. He called us kids. He never does that."

Wally pulled something out of Red Tornado's hands and said "Look. One of those biotech chips we confiscated off Cheshire."

Kaldur then stated "Something is not right. Robin, Kid, Raven, Zatanna, Cyborg, Rocket see if you can get Tornado back online. The Rest of us with me to find Ro…Red Arrow."

As we separated Robin continued with the updates "The problem's hardware, not software. But where do we start?"

Zatanna the spoke aloud "I have a thought." I then followed her line of sight to see that she was looking right above us. Red Tornado's room.

We took Red Tornado's things from his room and brought it back down to the main room. We decided to transfer Red Tornado into a new body. Hoping that might change something. It took a while but between Robin and Wally they got him running fairly quickly. This new body was a lot different that his old one. It was more human. He was a Caucasian male, bald with, with green eyes.

Wally was able to connect a cable to the base of the neck for Robin to work on transferring Red Tornado. Robin updated us as he made went along "Download in progress."

Rocket asked, well more like stated Zatanna and I "So Tornado built this android to party."

Zatanna chose to tell how Red Tornado described it to us a while back "Not how he'd put it, but yeah, more or less."

I tried to explain further by telling her "Tornado always wanted to be human, and created this body so that he could do that."

"I can understand that." Cyborg said sadly as he worked on the computer to help Robin. Cyborg was once human and now looks more machine than human now, hence his name Cyborg. I believe Red Tornado and him share a special bond of wanting to be more human.

Then Black Canary chose now to arrive and 'help' I guess. She asked "Hey, guys I wanted to check in see how you're handling the…What are you doing to Red?"

Wally was the first to explain frantically "It's not how it looks."

"It looks like you're downloading his consciousness into a new body." She said angrily.

Wally then backed down a bit and admitted "Okay, it's pretty much exactly how it looks. But…"

Red Tornado chose this moment to wake up and yell "Team, het out of the cave now!"

Black Canary then did her canary call at us. Why was she attacking us?

The call was mainly focused on Red Tornado's new body which was ripped in half and chucked at Wally and Rocket. Robin, Cyborg and I ducked under a table while Zatanna ducked under another. Robin was the first try and attack Black Canary. This was not like any of our practice spars, it was tough. Robin was knocked around a lot but he was able to plant a gas explosion device on her jacket before she chucked him across the room. Rocket formed a bubble around her, and I reinforced it by adding my own bubble around hers. Better safe than sorry.

This was a knockout gas, and it took only a few seconds for Black Canary to pass out.

Zatanna was the first to ask "Black Canary a-attacked us?"

Red Tornado who was surprisingly able to speak and move his arms explained as he sat up without legs "Black Canary is the least of our problems. We must abandon the cave."

I was able to get sphere to change into a vehicle that could carry 10 people. But right as we were about to leave Captain Marvel, , and Icon came to the cave.

Oh, shit here we go again.

Then Robin had the excellent idea of just leaving before they could even notice that we were here. Great idea, and it actually worked.

Red Tornado then addressed us as we were up in the air "Let the super cycle track Superboy. Instruct her to mask all signals. We cannot allow the League to track us."

Wally agreed and told him "Right. Of course. Just one question. Why is the 'Justice League' after us?"

[_[-]_]

Connor's P.O.V.

We were on the Bioship for a while before Artemis said "Computer's logs indicate Red Arrow's headed to the Hall from the watchtower but he could be anywhere by now."

Aqualad then explained "After Roy went solo he installed equipment caches in several major cities. One is here."

There wasn't much to add so I decided to stay quiet. We quickly landed on the roof of a random building. We came across a room and Kaldur kicked in the door to see Red Arrow just standing there. I could hear Kaldur say "I have not come to harm or apprehend you. But the Team requires answers."

Red Arrow declared "Me first. Tell me something you haven't told anyone else. Tell me who broke your heart."

Kaldur sighed and begrudgingly admitted "Tula. The girl I loved chose my best friend, Garth over me while my best friend on the surface world aims an arrow at my chest." I'm positive that he didn't want to admit this, especially when about half of the Team was outside this door listening to this conversation. But as deep as this conversation was it was efficient, and we were back in the Bioship and on our way.

Kaldur explained while he flew the Bioship to our next location. "We were told you were the mole but we have reason to doubt."

Red cut him off right there "Forget doubt. I was the mole."

But one thing was bothering me about this. Wasn't he a Cadmus clone like me? "Batman and Tornado said you're a Cadmus clone like me."

Red took a second and then exclaimed "That explains it…I was a sleeper agent pre-programmed to infiltrate the League. I think Sportsmaster was my handler. He had a key phrase, 'Broken Arrow' that could shut me down put me in a hypnotic state to steal secrets for his superiors or incorporate further programming. I'd then carry out all orders subconsciously completely unaware of what drove me. I think one of those orders was to focus suspicion on the three of you." He was pointing to Artemis, me and Raven or where Raven usually sat on the Bioship when she wasn't flying it. "I'm sorry."

Kaldur looked like he had a question to ask, so he did "How did Batman discover this and prevent you from betraying the League?"

"He didn't." Red Arrow simply said.

[_[-]_]

Raven's P.O.V.

Red Tornado continued explaining as we continued flying "The entire League is under the complete mental domination of Vandal Savage. Red Arrow seems to have been his means. His method was something Savage referred to as 'Starotech.' An alien bio-organism fused with nano-technology and magic. It shuts down the mind's autonomy allowing Savage to reprogram the individual to suit his needs. Even my inorganic brain was not immune. But the process requires 0.16 nanoseconds to fully integrate with its host's nervous system. That delay allowed me to create an internal sub-program which would disconnect my power cells if I attempted to infect another person. Fortunately, the 'Starotech' is body specific. As John Smith, I am now free of outside control."

Robin the thought out loud, it was more of a statement than a question but it allowed the rest of us to follow his line of thinking "This 'Starotech' , it worked on super-powered humans four flavors of alien and android, even defeating all of you without a fight?" Okay maybe it was a question but it sounded in the moment like a statement.

Red Tornado responded with "Indeed. A remarkable achievement. One not easily countered."

This was engineered, made for this type of situation and was in for the long haul.

Connor's P.O.V.

Starfire was the next person to ask a question, she asked "I'm sorry Arrow that is red, can you recall how you are no longer enslaved?"

Red Tornado didn't even pause to respond back to her "No 'Starotech', for starters just my Cadmus programming. And once I'd satisfied its last parameter my mind began to clear. I'm sure Savage planned to 'Starotech' me but he paused to…bask. I escaped."

I tell him, as Raven's other half that "I promise. We'll have Raven clean out any residual programming from your mind."

Our conversation was stopped when Raven spoke in our minds "Connor, you just got into my range. I'm going to link up the others."

"Okay, I'm linking up both squads and can you de-camouflage the ship Kaldur?" Raven then asks in everyone's mind.

Robin the exclaimed "Great, 'cause we really need to compare notes."

Time to develop a plan of the ages.

[_[-]_]

Raven's P.O.V.

We had taken the Bioship to the watchtower. It was parked on the satellite itself. I was the last out of the ship and I met up with the rest of team. Robin updated us "RT did it."

We had allowed Red Tornado, Black Canary, and Red Arrow go in ahead to use his natural technological abilities to bypass the security. And according Robin it worked. He continued by saying "Wirelessly bypassed security for us as soon as he arrived. Savage shouldn't know we're here."

Kaldur then ordered "Move out."

I felt jittery, ready for battle. This was going to be intense but if we did accomplish this, we would have taken down our main opposition. We first had to get through the loads of infected League members, which was a daunting task all on its own. But thankfully the boys had been able to make a counter chip to free the League as we came across them. With every member we turn the more people we have to fight on our side. But unfortunately it took a while to take, so right after the contact they fell unconscious. It took a while but with every member we changed the more accomplished I personally felt.

As far as I knew everything was going as planned.

But for some reason I feel as though something wasn't going right. But I tried to ignore this feeling and continued to find and turn every member I came across.

Even though I wasn't in the room I could hear Rocket say telepathically "Too bad 'Curotech' doesn't work as fast as 'Starotech'. We could use these guys."

Kaldur was next to respond "It is a small miracle, Queen Mera and Doctor Roquette, Spence and Vulko were able to re-engineer a cure and vaccine at all."

Wally literally yelled in our minds, which is actually hard to do, "Hey, if you guys aren't busy."

Kaldur responded back immediately "On my way. You three rendezvous with Robin and Superboy."

Zatanna then stuttered "I-I'll be right behind you."

Artemis and Wally seemed to have been in a fight with their old masters, at least that's what it felt like. I made my way over to meet with them. I heard Artemis tell Wally "I'm amazed we're still alive."

Wally then responded back unhelpfully "It's cause they're being controlled. They're limited by whoever's pulling their strings. The very thing putting us in danger is the only thing giving us a chance. "

Kaldur interrupted their conversation by yelling "Artemis, Kid. Now! Hold on."

"Holding." Wally said while grabbing hold of Artemis.

I also responded "I got something to hold on to."

He then opened the space doors of the Cargo bay. And while the atmosphere was still being upheld there was a vacuum being formed. This pulls anyone and anything that wasn't tied down. Kaldur then closed the doors right as the League members were about to hit the barrier, which was all according to plan.

Kaldur then spoke "Apologies, My King."

I walked up to the group and laid a hand on Kaldur's shoulder and told him honestly "I think he will forgive you."

He gave me a tight smile, and nodded.

I heard through our link Robin yell "Now! Can she escape your force bubble?"

Rocket responded back confidently "Not if she keeps punching it. The kinetic energy only makes it stronger. But I'm stuck here. Anything I do risks freeing her."

"Look out!" Robin yelled.

Damn it, I was flying as fast as I could to reach them in the main room. But I fear that I won't make it in time. I listen intently through the link. Hoping for any kind of clue as to what they are going through. And of course I was incredibly worried about the state of Connor.

But I made it.

I entered the room invisible to have a greater chance of putting a chip on each of the members. Robin was battling Batman, Connor was with Superman, and decided to take Martian Manhunter. But of course my original plan of attack was turned on its head.

During the progress of our fight Manhunter got his grip locked onto my arms and I knew what I had to do. I apologized beforehand "Sorry J'onn. You leave me no choice."

I made him feel as though he was standing in room full of fire, which immobilized him long enough to place the chip on his neck.

Phew, that was way more exhausting than I was expecting it to be.

But right as I breathed out a sigh of relief, I was sent flying across the room. And then everything went dark.

[_[-]_]

Connor's P.O.V.

He punched Raven.

I saw red after that. I was being punched through walls, floors and ceilings. I vaguely remember seeing Robin and Batman fighting.

But my focus was all on Superman.

I was getting up after being punched through another floor when Robin appeared crouched next to me and said "We're not gonna beat them one on one."

So I guess we have to switch things up so I suggested "Plan B, then,"

I threw Robin at Batman as he came from the floor above. He got Batman chipped. Now it's my turn. I grabbed Superman around the chest from behind so that he couldn't move his arms. But he was able to fly around. So he rammed me into a wall. It was getting harder and harder to keep him there. Robin then asked "Are you sure about this?"

"Just do it." I yell, venting my frustration through my voice.

Robin opened the box of Kryptonite, and damn that was painful. But it got him in a weakened enough state for Robin to chip him.

"Kryptonite….hurts." I say as I slowly try to get up.

"Which is why Batman keeps it in an overwhelmingly impenetrable vault at the Batcave. Well, more like a whelmingly penetrable vault."

We ran over as quickly as possible to the main room where Savage and Klarion were, but just as we arrived they disappeared into a red portal. I walked up to where Aqualad was crouching next to Red Tornado. Red Tornado told us "Congratulations, Team. You have won the day."

We were interrupted by the computer saying "Happy New Year, 'Justice League'"

Then a song began to play.

Raven came up to me and pulled me into a kiss. I wrapped my arms around her waist and her arms went up to my neck. I lifted her up and we got way into the kiss, but I didn't care. I was happy that we were both alive and happy. And that's all that matters.

I've seen the movies I know that this is a tradition, kissing on New Years. And I was more than happy to oblige. Even I could see the Romance of kissing on New Year's with a perfect view of the Earth.

I also noticed that other couples were experiencing the tradition. Zatanna and Cyborg. Wally and Artemis. Beast Boy and Star Fire. Rocket and Kaldur.

Unfortunately Robin was all alone, but he wasn't fretting about that. He left the room to go check on Batman.

All in all this was a great end to a hard day.

Everything winded down. Raven and I were sitting on the edge of the floor looking out over the Earth. My arm was wrapped around her shoulders as she leaned into my chest. I will never admit this but I love cuddling, especially like this.

But Raven kissed me on the cheek and then got up and walked away. At first I was really confused, but then I turned around to see her go and Superman approach me.

Damn it. I do not know how to handle this.

He was very awkward. Yes I can see awkwardness, as he said "The Team did good work here. You…did good work."

I responded back awkwardly with "Um, thanks."

I know where I get my awkwardness from now. Cause he sounded EXTREMELY awkward as he continued to speak "So, I , uh…heard you took a name."

"Uh, yeah. Connor Kent."

"My secret identity is Clark Kent."

Seriously, I didn't know that. Oh he's going to ask me to change it now, I don't want to do that. I just got used to this name. "I didn't know. I wasn't trying to…"

"No, the thing is…I'm glad. Connor Kent. It seems right." And then he put a hand on my shoulder, approvingly. So I guess he's okay with it, good.

I oddly enough felt accepted in this moment. Superman finally acknowledged me, as a person, but also as a son.

Everything was finally working out.

Epilogue: 10 years later

I little boy of about 5 years of age raced down the hallway. Today was incredibly special, it was Christmas. He ran up to his parents door and opened it quietly. He then ran over and climbed onto the bed and then started jumping.

He began screaming on the top of his lungs "IT'S CHRISTMAS! WAKE UP,WAKE UP, WAKE UP!"

His mother sat up and raised her right hand and began to levitate her son. He began to giggle "Mama let's go, I want to open presents."

She replied sleepily "You know you can't jump on our bed for the next couple months, it's not good for the baby." The mother was sitting up now and rubbing her very round, and very large stomach. She was about 6 months pregnant. After years and years of searching Raven had found a spell that could repair her. She was able to conceive not only once but twice. It was truly a miracle.

"Yes, mama."

And once he settled down. She dropped him on top of his father. His father quickly sat up and began to tickle him and told him "Are you ready for Christmas presents?"

"Yes, daddy let's go." His father set him on the floor and he zoomed out of the room. Connor leaned over to kiss his wife of 7 years "Ready for another Christmas?"

"Of course. Don't forget that we have to meet up with everyone later today." Raven said as Connor helped her to her feet. They made their way to the living room where Michael was impatiently waiting for them to arrive so that he could open the many presents underneath the tree.

Both Raven and Connor settled onto the couch as they watched the glory of Christmas overwhelm the house. They were comforted by the bliss of normalcy.

In two and a half months they welcomed a black haired green eyed daughter to their home, a Rose Kent.

Michael grew up to be a loving and slightly protective older brother. Michael had a special skill with magic and superhuman jumping skills, while Rose had super-strength and was able to make her eyes glow red.

They all lived long happy lives, both in and around the Justice League.

And all was good in the world.

Fin.
