New Perspective

Cadmus sublevel fifty, Washington D.C. January First,2011, 5:48 am.

Dubbilex (pronounced double x) watched his brother punch the wall in frustration. "Connor! stop" the Martian clearly cared for him. Batman's prodigy stood close at hand swiping through the camera footage. "Nothing, nothing, guardian walks in, static."

Dr. Spence sat nearby, bandages around her head, freshly applied, Batgirl checking her for damage to her cerebellum, "I was right behind Guardian, but I can't remember anything."

Red arrow grabbed Dubbilex by the front of his lab coat. "You know what happened so tell me while you can still talk."

'I cannot'

"What do you mean you can't?"

Superboy grabbed Red by the shoulder, "Let go of him"

Kid flash materialized next to Robin, "Hey guys whoever came in here, the Geno-morphs tried to stop them, Guardian has a stab wound going all the way through this torso, his uniform doesn't show any signs of struggle."

Artemis chimed in "So he was stabbed in the back?" Kid Flash shook his head, "Not with his shield there. Manhunter is going to dig around in his head when he gets out of that pod, but someone put a sword in his chest."

Superboy turned back to Dubbilex, "Match is gone too, you have to help us find him"

'I cannot'

Kid Flash turned to Superboy, "Who is Match?" Artemis punched her idiot boyfriend in the arm. "OW!"

"His Evil twin! You moron!" "Oh, right."

Zatanna spoke up next. "If the doctor and Guardian are having memory issues then its possible there is more programming, stopping him from being helpful."

Meghan's eyes lit up with green light, "I'll check" The group watched Meghan work, hopeful. There is something here, he's trying to override it, I think I can break it."

Rocket spoke up, "Your uncle is upstairs, maybe we should have him do it?"

"I am more than capable of-"

Dubbilex crowed all their minds with a series of images, "THEY TOOK OUR BROTHER!"

The entire team dropped to the ground from the invasion of information, except for Meghan.

KF recovered and helped Artemis back to her feet, "A little warning next time- Robin?" "What"

"Tell me the guy in the cape wasn't-" "That was him." Superboy looked around "who?' "Ra's al Ghul."

Superboy turned to Dubbliex, "Can't you tell us anything else?"

'I cannot'

Meghan chimed in before Red could manhandle him again. "I didn't break the lock, Queen Bee was here, she probably did this to him, if I push harder it will probably damage him."

Robin let out a nervous chuckle, "Heh, the demon's head was here in person, along with The Brain and Queen Bee. I'll update Batman, everyone else head back to the ship, we need to dig up some leads."

Zatanna lowered her hands. "I've tried three spells, it's not working, I'm sorry Red." Red Arrow balled his fists turning his knuckles white, "That doesn't mean he's gone, right?"

Zatanna shook her head, "he could be moving, shielded or there might be some other form of interference I don't know about."

Robin joined the group, "I have my own magic, it's called detective work." Robin smiled wide, "Question figured out what kind of truck moved the Cadmus pods, it needed to be a certain size, unmemorable, and it was carrying over five hundred pounds of equipment."

Roy was growing impatient, "Come on Robin get to the point."

He ran F.R.S. at traffic cameras and got a few hits, a member of the league of shadows popped up at a private airfield in North Carolina, we did some math, the plane model didn't have the range to get out of the U.S., the strip was pretty small. Question thinks it's in Florida."

Wally looked disappointed, "How did he figure that?"

Several people looked on. Dick continued his explanation, "We referenced every airport on the east coast, the traffic would keep them away from major airports. The range could have gotten them to Central City, but he has a hunch they're getting him out of the country as quickly as possible."

Wally shook his head, "That's some pretty desperate straw grasping. Even for question." Robin shrugged, "It's our best lead, I have a list of possibilities hiding a large income from the IRS, in the Florida. Its time to do some leg work."

Roy punched the man again, "You still have a working arm, now talk"

Robin watched on, sometimes pain was a stronger motivator than fear. All right, all right, yeah, I moved to crates like that, typical spot, I don't fuck with guys like them, I shipped those two crates to a resort in Brazil, private thing, invite only."

"That's it! Tell the team were going to Brazil. I'll call Question."

Mount Justice, January 4, 2011, 6:00 am

Robin, Superboy, Miss Martian, Red Arrow, Artemis, Kid Flash, Zatanna, Rocket and Aqua Lad gathered in the mission room. "We tracked the crates, to a private club in Brazil. Question figured out how to get in, we need a silver coin that they hand out as an invitation to join, that last one they gave out was to one Roman Sionis."

Artemis asked, "I thought Question was in Italy?" Robin didn't deny it, "He is, we're lucky he's texting me back at all."

KF shrugged "so? Who's Sionis?" Robin sighed. "A.K.A. Black Mask, an arms dealer, crime-lord, and violent psychopath, with a superiority complex and sadistic tendencies."

Connor snorted. "How's that any worse than what we've done before?" "It isn't this is a fairly basic heist. The only real stress here is, the next club event is the twenty-second, so we have eighteen days to get this together."

Black Mask owns a club in Gotham, his office is on the third floor,

"He spends most of his evenings there running it like a vindictive god, Meghan you'll have to impersonate him to get in his office. He's polite to guests and cold to his employees, they're beneath him, don't even look at them. I'll be the limo driver, drop you off and keep the car running. Batman provided the safe location it's behind a Picasso on the north wall. Density shift in and grab the coin then, swap it out with an organic copy. Come back down to the limo for extraction. It will be a good test run for part two of the plan. It's imperative while you're in the office to locate and replicate a black skull mask, it's his trademark we need it to be convincing if we want to get into the club at all."

"I can do it"
