Chapter 36
Last chapter something happened to Lita; wonder what? Well you're about to find out! Also some stuff with the cats and the Team. Hey wanna play a game? Five points towards your vote for who Lita goes out with for whoever guesses what character I'm introducing before I tell their name. sound cool enough? Ok here's a hint; you won't find her in Young Justice the TV show; but her boyfriend has made at least one appearance. Got any idea? ONWARD TO THE BATTLE FIELD!
'Oh God, where am I? This day couldn't get any worse.' Lita thought; something was covering her eyes so that she couldn't see. She had been taken from the infirmary in a duffle bag if one could believe it. She was now in a chair—that much she could tell—untied and blindfolded. The blind fold was removed suddenly and she could see. She was in Strange's office; the lights were out and no one was around, a setting she found unsettling.
"U-uhm…Hello?" she asked.
"Hello Lita Bleak." A voice said, Lita looked around the room trying to find the source of the voice. It was a woman's voice that much she could tell, "you can relax Lita dear we aren't going to hurt you."
Suddenly three people came out of the shadows, she recognized two of them from the courtyard; Poison Ivy, a blonde woman with blue eyes she wore a smile on her face and her hair was pulled up into two upward pony tails. If Lita had to guess her personality she'd probably say 'perky', and then next to the woman was Psimon—much to Lita's surprise and slight chagrin. She stared.
"Psimon? What are you doing here—w-wait why am I here?" She asked, Psimon rolled his eyes.
"After the hospital I was sent here; not much of a surprise after all." He explained, Lita thought for a moment; yeah that made sense. Ivy smiled.
"And you're here because, we think you can help us out greatly." She said. Lita gave them a look.
"Oh yeah? H-how so?" She asked, holding her arm that was bandaged up. Ivy nodded and walked over to the young Witch-girl.
"I wasn't all that keen on ol' Raven myself but she was one heck of a woman." She said patting Lita on the head, "And if you're anything like her I think we can form a plan to get outta here."
"Y-you mean a…a break out?" Lita asked. The trio nodded.
"That's right kid, you got the power; Red's got the knowhow, and brainy here's got the smarts." The blonde haired woman said cheerfully. Lita looked at the trio; on one hand if they could break out she could leave and go home to her father, Uncle Abra, and her cats. However on the other hand she'd be in even worse trouble than she was to begin with. She shook her head.
"N-no; I can't if I go—I'll be in even worse trouble with the league." She said, "I-I'm sorry, I can't help you."
"Sour puss." The blonde woman said with a frown. Psimon smirked.
"Now, now little Bleak let's not forget one thing." He said dipping to her eye level, "I know you're secrets."
"News flash brainiac!" she snapped letting out a cat like hiss, "Everyone knows my secret! The Justice League, the Team, my friends! Everyone knows who I am!"
"Oh my someone's testy today." Ivy said, Lita huffed; she snapped and she didn't care. She was locked in a place where she was powerless, she was away from home and all she wanted to do was stay out of trouble until she could leave. Psimon frowned.
"You and I both know that's not what I am talking about." He said, grabbing Lita by the collar and pulling her out of her seat. "I'm talking about a certain black and red haired girl."
Lita went wide eyed then glared letting out a low growl as she grabbed Psimon's wrists and pulled them off her. She then kicked him across the room knocking him into the wall, she hissed as she walked up to him.
"I told you to leave her out of this!" she growled. Ivy and her friend looked to each other.
"My, my somebody's got a bit of backbone after all eh Harl?" Ivy asked, Harley Quinn nodded, (so who guessed it? First to review this gets 5 points) as Psimon sat up.
"I won't have to involve her so long as you do as you're told." He said, Lita growled.
"You're sick." She spat.
"And you're not as scary without your cats." Psimon said bracing himself against the wall. Lita frowned.
"Guess I have no choice; what's the plan?" She asked.

Teekl meowed as he sat in his master's lap as he watched his daughter return to her cell on the device the strange girl, Mariko Miko, had given him. He smiled; Lita was looking better, her wounds had healed up and she was back to her cell; she sat there for a while on her bunk and stared at the wall. Teekl meowed.
"I wonder how long it will be before I can figure out a way to get her out." He mused; he had to think of something or else he'd be Savage's slave forever. Suddenly he heard the door to his room fly open, he immediately hid the ipod in his sleeve and turned to see his Raven look alike. She stood leaning against the door frame with her arms crossed.
"Hello Witch-boy," She said earning a glare from Klarion she pouted. "What's wrong Klarion, not happy to see you're old girlfriend?"
"You're not my Raven; my Raven would never than attack her daughter own daughter." Klarion growled.
"Oh then what am I then? A clone?" Raven asked Klarion huffed, petting Teekl behind his ears.
"I haven't figured that out yet; but when I do believe me when I say you're going to regret ever stealing her face." He threatened. Raven snorted.
"Whatever, anyway Savage wanted me to bring you to the Light's meeting." She said "So get off you're lazy butt and come on."
Klarion narrowed his eyes but followed Raven down the hallway to the meeting room. before they arrived Raven stopped and spun around.
"Oh and you can just go ahead and hand over that thing you've been using to see your little brat." She said, Klarion stared wide eyed; how did she know. She smirked, "Like that little creep Mariko Miko down in that hole she calls a lab; we have camera watching over everything in this building."
Raven then held out her hand expecting his device. Teekl growled, causing Raven to glare and grab Klarion by his tie, "hand it over."
Defeated Klarion reached into his sleeve and presented the device to her. Satisfied she snatched it from his hand and grinned.
"Oh and I'll be sure that you and you're little friend get punished accordingly." She said, then escorted Klarion the rest of the way to the meeting hall, Teekl growling the entire way.

The two cats finally made their way down to Happy Harbor, Hatter had caught the scent of one of the Team members. Hatter sneezed.
"I hate that smell, of all the members why did I have to catch his scent." She growled, Cherie mewed.
"Because you're sense of smell is better than mine." He said, Hatter snickered.
"Is that you're idea of flirting with me Fluffy?" She joked, Cherie sighed and walked down the sandy beach to Mr. Justice. (that's in happy harbor right?)
"Honestly Hatter be mature for once in your life." He said as Hatter ran to catch up with him. She snorted.
"Ha! This coming from a cat who chases after laser pointers." She mocked running ahead of him.
"That is a normal instinct not that you would know you netherworld feline." Cherie growled as he chased after the stray.
"I have no come back for that." Hatter said with a laugh, as they came to the mountain's base. The duo stopped and looked up at the mountain "So how do we get in?"
"Good question." Cherie mewed, suddenly the ground below them began to shake and suddenly it came out from under them. The two screamed as they slid down a ramp into the underground where they were greeted by a very large dog.
Wolf looked down at the cats as they stared up at the mutated dog. There was a long silence between the trio before Hatter shifted her gaze to her black and white companion.
"Cherie Curie."
"Yes, Hatter Dear?"
"I don't think this will end well." She said, Cherie nodded.
"I believe I agree that it won't." He said as he grew in size, "For him!"
Hatter nodded and suddenly leapt onto Wolf's snout and hissed. Wolf growled and shook his head trying to get the feline off of his face. Cherie then tackled the large dog to the ground with a thud, suddenly the doors to the main hall opened as Super-boy, and M'gaan walked in.
"Wolf what's with all the…"Conner asked, then saw the two cats as they fought. M'gaan frowned and used her telepathy to separate the three. Wolf growled as Hatter and Cherie hissed.
"These are Lita's cats." M'gaan pointed out. Hatter looked to the duo and meowed, "How'd they find us?"
"I think we should get the Batman or something." Conner said. M'gaan nodded.
"But first; the dog if you please?" Hatter mewed. Conner and M'gaan stared wide eyed.
"You can talk?" they said in unison.
This was more fluff than it was an actual chapter; dang that sucks. Sorry y'all. Anyway so who guessed it was Harley Quinn before I revealed who she was? Come on be honest, and review! ;3
