Questions:

From celestialstarrynight to Wally: So FlashBoy, how do you feel if I say that 'gingers have no souls'? Huh? Are you mad?
Wally: I'm more upset about my name. It's KID FLASH. Come on. Get it together.

From Rayne-Ashley West to Robin: If u didn't like Babs or Zatanna, would u go for Artemis?
Robin: Ewww! She's like my sister! Incest much?
From Rayne-Ashley West to Artemis: If u weren't with Wally, would u date Robin?
Artemis: Date the little troll? I don't think so. He's a good friend and all, but he's too young for me.
Robin: Wait...I'm the troll? What does that even mean?

From 100 to Robin: but i bet you want to meet me...
Robin: . . .

Zatanna: I don't think that will be possible.

From Ravenheart to Wally: Have you seen Rob without the glasses? Oh wait, you already did. And is it possible for you to do my Science homework? Or help me with a few things, dang it I flunked in it.
Wally: I don't really have time for anyone's science homework right now. You try being a science whiz in a group full of teenagers with very little free time.
From Ravenhearst to Artemis: Is it a relief to finally know your friend's identity? You know, with all the secrecy, yet is it hard to keep from the others?
Artemis: It's nice to know who Robin is, sure. But the threat of Batman if I ever reveal it...well, that makes it pretty easy to keep the secret.
Ravenhearst to Robin: Knowing you guys are being restraint from killing villains, just wondering, how bad do you wanna kill Zucco on a scale of 1-10? You can go higher than that if you want. And you do know there are a lot of girls who want to date you right?
Robin: I don't want to kill anyone. That would just be too easy. Batman says justice and revenge must be kept separate. And yes, I know I'm a babe-magnet.
Red Tornado: Please explain this "babe magnet" term.

From BekCholie to Wally: Have you even picked up a Sherlock Holmes book, or did you just watch the movies/show?
Wally: I read the books. Ow! Artemis, stop it! Fine, I saw the movies.

From supersoda to Alfred: Alfred, are you ever surprised anymore considering who you are the
butler of?
Alfred: Once in a great while I can still find myself caught off guard by my employer's...lifestyle.

Ok, a very happy day to you. Reader of the week is 100 for having the most reviews in one day. Awesome.

April 5

Even from a block away the team didn't need Superboy's hearing to feel the pounding of the music. Therefore, standing in the shadows across the street was almost unbearable.

"What the heck are they playing?" Wally asked. "It sounds like a dying cat was synthesized and the sounds made into words."

"That's Niki Minaj! I like her songs!" M'gann thought. They were linked through her telepathy once more.

"Yeah, and I bet you like Rebecca Black too." Artemis mentally laughed.

"Oh, come on. Don't even joke about that." M'gann said indignantly.

"Focus, people. We're here to stop a criminal." Robin thought.

"Sorry, Robin." Artemis said. "So, Aqualad. What's the plan?"

"According to Batman, Zucco arrives here everynight around midnight. The club is in part of a recommissioned warehouse, and in the rest of it he keeps his other...business." Kaldur said.

"Then we should go in right now!" Robin said. He pointed. "That criminal is in there right now and it's my...our job to stop him."

"No, Robin! We don't know that he's in there yet, and we can't just barge in with all those innocent people in there. Someone could be injured." Kaldur crossed his arms. "Why are you so eager to go in there?"

"I just...Look, there he is." Robin pointed at the man walking in.

"Yeah, that might be him. We need a better...And he's gone. Again with the ninja thing." Wally rolled his eyes.

"I can't reach him anymore. He cut me off." M'gann was worried. He had never cut off the team before. Not on purpose. All night she had felt a certain unease coming from Robin, but until now she had thought nothing of it. "Goys, I think he's gone rogue."

Artemis and Wally shot each other a look. "Now what? Do we go in after him?"

"No, not yet. We should at least try to follow Batman's orders. Miss Martian, can Robin reestablish contact?"

"Yes, he's still connected, but he's ignoring it."

"Then he's on his own for now. If we do this right, then an entire crime organization will go down tonight." Kaldur sat back. "We go in at midnight. That's in fifteen minutes."


Robin snuck easily through the club. The ceiling was covered in rafters, and various crosswalks covered in lights and speakers. Below him, intoxicated dancers writhed and thrashed to what they considered music. Once in awhile, when Robin looked down, the things he saw girls doing made him blush as red as his costume. But he shook it off. Soon he had left the pulsing dance floor behind and slipped unnoticed into the door marked "EMPLOYEES ONLY". He climbed back into the rafters and disabled the cameras with his wrist computers.

"Guys, I'm in. The back part of the warehouse is emp-" Robin was knocked out of the rafters by a flying object, but landed gracefully on his feet.

"Well, well. The littlest Grayson. I'm honored." Zucco stood before Robin with two men.

"I'm here to take you in. It's over."

"Oh really?" Zucco held up a detonator. "Take one more step and I'll blow this place sky-high."

"There's maybe one hundred people here! How can you do that?" Robin took his stance.

"If I push this button, they'll die, and you can take me in. How much does revenge mean to you?" The man smiled. "Do as I say, and they can keep partying the night away like the brainless idiots they are. Or, avenge your parents death and learn to live with the consequences."

"I can't endanger the lives of all those people." Robin dropped his stance, noting the slightly dissapointed look on Zucco's face. "I'm not looking for revenge. I'm looking for justice."

"Didn't you love your family? I murdered them. Don't you want to make them proud? I know I would."

"Well, there's your problem. I'm not like you. I don't kill people." Robin secretly tapped a few buttons on his wrist. "What do you want?" Robin said tightly.

"I want to see how well a little Robin flies with broken wings." Zucco nodded to his men who advanced towards Robin. "Make one move against them and believe me when I say that I will kill those people." Robin stood perfectly still.


During the previous scene

"Guys, I'm worried about Robin. He isn't-" M'gann was cut off by Robin's frantic voice.

"Guys, Zucco rigged the place to explode. I'm sending you the likely postions of the bombs. You have to disarm them!" Kaldur's phone lit up. "Do it soon before they break something important."


Robin flew across the room, and landed on his feet, but he was winded. He was afraid to fight back against them because he didn't want to take the chance that Zucco would detonate.

"Ok, boys. Grab him and bring him over here. I want a front row seat for the grand finale." Zucco smiled.

"Hurry up, guys. Feeling a little whelmed here."

"We're on our way, Rob. Me and Artemis are coming as soon as we finish out here."

"Did you get all the bombs?"

"Yeah, there was only one. M'gann managed to stop it with her powers. We're just moving it away, and now we're coming in." Superboy answered.

"Robin, are you alright? We're almost there."

"He wants to break my arms...So no, I'm not ok. But you disarmed the bombs?"

"Hey, circus boy, don't space out on me." Zucco slapped Robin.

"Yes, we disarmed the bombs. Feel free to retaliate now." Kaldur answered as he and the rest of the team burst in.

"Don't mind if I do." Robin executed a backflip out of his captors' reach and landed behind them. "What took you so long?"

"If you had just waited for a few minutes, we could have gone in together." Wally raised an eyebrow as several more men came into the room. "I see you were all hired for your looks." And judging by the expressions on their faces, the bulked-up idiots didn't understand what he meant.

"Do we really have to do this?" Superboy groaned as he threw one man into another, sending them flying backwards. "This is almost too easy."

"You're just a stupid kid." Sneered one bulldog-of-a-man as he charged the young Kryptonian. He was stopped as a whip of water wrapped around his ankle, causing him to fall face first.

"And you're ugly, but I wasn't going to say anything." Wally laughed as he zipped around, disarming the men, ending with Zucco.

"Get them!" Zucco screamed, and then he bolted.

"I got him!" Artemis fired an arrow and a net exploded from the tip, wrapping around the man.

"I got this." Robin pointed to a door that led to an office with a computer. His own holograph computer was up on his wrist as he hacked the computer wirelessly. "There's enough here to put him away again and connect all of his employees and associates. I'm-"

"Feeling the aster. Got it. Dude, you need to come up with some new words." Wally smiled.


"I got him. And his whole crime ring. Everything. A lot of people are going to jail. He knows who I am, but he has no way to prove it, especially since he's now in prison. And the best part is...he'll never hurt another family the same way he hurt ours." Dick stood in front of his parents' graves. "I wanted revenge so badly at first, but I'm not that kind of person. You would have been proud."


April 6

Artemis started in bed. She shot out a fist and connected with something soft.

"Ow! Artemis, it's me!"

"Oh. Well in that case..." She lashed out again.

"Stop it!" Wally rubbed his side where her hits had landed. "What was that for?"

"You do realize that the whole watching-while-she-sleeps thing only works for sparkly vampires, right?" Artemis sat up and rubbed her eyes. "What are you doing here? My mom may be in a wheelchair, but she'd still kill you if she found you in my room. Even if this is Mt. Justice."

"I was just thinking..."

"That must have hurt your brain." Artemis smiled, but it faded when Wally did not return it.

"Artemis, you are without a doubt, the most awesome, badass, amazing girl I know. And don't get me wrong. The time we've had together has been amazing and fun. But I'm looking for something a little more...serious." Artemis's heart dropped.

"Oh my god! Are you breaking up with me?" It was like Artemis's world was falling apart.

"Are you kidding me? Why would I break up with...Ohhh, yeah looking back, I probably could have handled that first partbetter."Wally blushed. Why was he so nervous?

"You think? You nearly gave me a heart attack, Kid Stupid."

"Oh, come on." He beckoned for her to follow him. "Come on, I promise it won't take long." Artemis sighed and got out of bed.

"This better be worth you coming into my room at six in the morning the day after a mission, and almost giving me a heart attack." Artemis grumbled. "What am I supposed to be seeing..." Her breath caught in her throat. They had reached the main room. A single word was written on the TV.

"Will you...gotopromwithme?"

"What?" Artemis blushed.

"You heard me." Wally cleared his throat. "Will. You. Go. To. Prom. With. Me."

"Oh, I don't know..." Artemis grinned. "I'm not much for dancing."

"I'll help you." He took a step closer.

"And I'm terrible at picking out dresses."

"M'gann will have to help you with that." Another step.

"Then...ok. We can go to prom. On one condition."

"What's that?" Wally's arms wrap around her waist.

"You have to match your tie to my dress."

Bahahaha prom. So awesome in stories, and yet so lame in real life. Anywho...leave a review.

Also, a certain holiday is coming up, both in real life and in the story. Would you...perhaps...maybe...like a themed chapter? Let me know.
