"Shadow, on your left!" Black Arrow called out to Shadow as Pounce threw a tire at her. Kat bent backwards and dodged it. She pulled out her whip and crack it at Pounce. Black Arrow shot an explosive arrow at Pounce who shrugged it off like it was nothing, she lunged at Arrow who smacked her over the face with her bow.
It broke when it hit Pounce, Black Arrow widened her eyes in fear. She was backhanded across the street into a mailbox. She got up taking out her crossbow.
Shadow kicked Pounce in the stomach and slammed a baton into her neck. Black fired her bow at Pounce who swung Shadow around in the way of the arrows. Thankfully for Shadow her cape blocked them. She was thrown onto the floor and nearly stepped on if it were not for Black firing her bow at Pounce. A clay arrow encased Pounce in clay and immobilized her.
"Damn you!" Pounce said stuck in the clay as Kat and Hanna ran off with the weapon Pounce had tried to steal from the truck.
Cave Justice, November 14, 9:29 PM
Kat and Hanna walked back into the cave, Kat went to brief Red Robin about the mission. Hanna jumped onto the couch and turned on the TV. She had thought she was the only one there as Rupert walked out into the room in nothing but a towel wet from the showers. He jumped at the sight of Hanna.
"Hanna? You're back early." Rupert's voice cracked when he said that. Hanna blushed at the sight of the boy shirtless.
"You might want to invest in some pants sir." Hanna said to him laughing. He laughed too, blushing really hard.
"Right." He said walking out. Hanna sighed in relief, hopefully they could act like that didn't happen. Savannah walked in after that in her pajamas.
"Hanna, you're here." She said snobbishly. Hanna rolled her eyes.
"Yeah, Pounce isn't that tough." She said flipping through the channels.
"Is Kat here?" Savannah asked, Hanna nodded.
"Hanna, I just want to say that I love your hair tonight." Savannah said almost too nicely.
"Really?" Hanna asked sarcastically, pulling on her own long brown hair. Dylan walked in talking on the phone, to whom, who knows?
"Yes, yes, yes babe." He said, Hanna rolled her eyes, and so did Savannah. Dylan fell onto the couch and laid down.
"What, just cause I like both doesn't mean I can't actually have a boyfriend." He said, Hanna turned away and nodded. Savannah tried to ignore that comment.
"Seriously what do you guys have against it?" Dylan asked. Savannah and Hanna looked at each other nervously. They both liked him, like a lot. They had no problem with him being bi, they didn't. Then again, it makes it a little harder.
"So, Dylan, tell me about this dashing fella." Savannah said to him hugging him.
"Well, what do you want to know?" Dylan asked, Savannah thought about it for a minute.
"His name, age, hair color, eye color, favorite sport." Savannah said, Hannah huffed.
"Bryce, 15, brown, brown, hockey." Dylan said, "Anything else." He asked, his voice seemed to be over this interview.
"No." Savannah said, "So, one week and the pet names already." She said rather loudly in Hanna's direction. Hanna kept her composure and tried not to punch her in her perfect face.
"Yeah, guess I move pretty fast in that area." Dylan said, Savannah grinned.
"Maybe you are." She said seductively. Hanna growled and stormed off.
"What's with her?" Dylan asked.
"Don't know." Savannah simply put.
"I can't believe her!" Hanna yelled in Yesenia's room to Yesenia, who nodded.
"Like, hi, I'm Savannah I'm the new girl who likes Dylan, I'll use the fact that he's gay to torture my competition for his affection." Hanna mocked with her hands and mouth.
"Hanna, you do need to realize that Dylan is happy right now, he has someone who is good to him," Yesenia said, "So fighting over him isn't going to get him into your arms any faster."
"I'm not fighting, she is!" Hanna said, Yesenia shook her head and stared her down like she was crazy. Most likely true.
"Okay, I would fight for him but it would be in vain." Hanna said, Yesenia laughed.
"Sweety, you're beyond head over heels, you're insane." She said, Hanna scoffed.
"How?"
"First, you want him for yourself, meaning you would probably ruin his current relationships, you hate Savannah because she makes fun of the fact that you both want him and when Rui brought up your crush you slapped her." Yesenia said.
"So."
"You slapped her in front of Batman." Yesenia stated. Hanna fell onto the bed.
"I hate my life."
Kat walked into the grotto, she saw Blur, Nate, talking to Nightshade. He sat on a bench in front of her statue. Kat stayed at a close distance to hear him, he spoke softly and quietly.
"Kylee, guess what, we got the negavator, yeah stupid name." He said laughing, "I'm worried, the team, they're good, but what if the are not ready for Vandal, or the whole light?"
"I know we weren't, it seems every time we get someone back we loose another." He said looking off at Brendon's hologram. "We are outnumbered and outgunned."
"I know what you'd say Ky, 'Seems like a fair fight''' he chuckled, "But we need you, I need you. You always were the best at pep talks." He stared of at the hologram of the girl in the red Nightwing looking suit. Her brown hair, he missed seeing that blowing in the wind, he missed her.
"Ky, I swear to you, we will take down the light, and you're going to be there with me, at my side." Nate said tearing up, he dropped to his knees and clutched the gravestone. He cried on it.
"I love you Kylee, I need you back, Dick needs you back, it seems like every woman I care about dies, why did you have to be added to the death toll, it's injustice." He whaled, tears pouring from his eyes, Kat now finally walked over and grabbed him into a huge hug. She let him cry while she stared at Nightshade, looking to find something.

"Hawkgirl to cave, we found him, we are presuing Kid Zoom now." Hawkgirl said on the com inside the bio ship, they saw Zoom enter a workshop. Kid Martian nodded to the others as he cloaked the ship.
"Velocity, and I will go. Hawk, Arrow the two of you stay in case we need back up. Kid, hide the ship." Kat said as she grabbed her whip and strapped it to her back. Velocity put his cowl back on and walked over to Kat, whom was at the door. They jumped down onto the cold night pavement.
Velocity followed Shadow to the door of the shop where they peered inside to see Zoom and several guards. And a stasis pod. Velocity put on his goggles and stared at it, he squinted his eyes and gasped.
"Dude, they're cloning Wonder Boy." He whispered, Kat's eyes widened and she and Dylan exchanged nervous glances. Kat drew her whip and cracked it as quietly as she could.
"Shadow don't." Velocity said, grabbing her.
"Why not?" She asked.
"Look." He said pointing at Grid, the robotic clone android of Cyborg.
Kat took in one long, deep breath and sighed. "Shit." She said.
"Guys, we may need you." Dylan said on his com, Kat stuck up a hand.
"Cancel that, we don't." She said cracking her whip, "We got this." Then she stormed into the shop. Dylan's jaw drooped, did she just do that?
"Dammit Shadow!" He hollered as he heard gun being fired he ran in to see Shadow making really quick work of the guards. He ran in and started helping her.
"You're almost as bad as Jai!" he said kicking on guard into Shadow for her to clothesline. Then Zoom growled.
"Grid!" He yelled, "Take care of them, I need to get project WB outta here!" he grabbed the pod and ran out. Dylan prepared to run after him then a green laser fired next to him. Grid had attacked.
"You have interfered one too many times children." The android said to the teen heroes as the launched themselves at the robot.
He knocked down Dylan and broke his leg.
"I process information faster than you can run." Grid said impassively, he fired on Kat who was thrown into a wall.
"Dammit!" She yelled as she dropped her whip and threw two explosive batarrangs at the robot. It did not even notice the to cumbusting objects hitting its chest. Grid approached Kat, drawing a sword.
"You want e,motion Grid!" Kat yelled, Grid stopped and gave a interested look.
"Let's start with pain!" She said drawing her batons and slamming them into Grid's body. She froze as they snapped like twigs and he grabbed her throwing her into Dylan.
Then Hawkgirl flew in, she dropped Black Arrow who shot and arrow into Grid's arm armor. Hawkgirl then came down with a strike of her mace, Grid glared at her coldly and grabbed her wing hard, breaking the bones under the feathers and flesh.
"You humans are weak, flesh is your downfall." Grid said, Hawkgirl grinned in her pain and spat on his face. Grid was not amused.
"I'm not human." She remarked smashing the robots thigh with her mace.
"Piece of tin." She said as she slammed her mace as hard as she could into his chest, revealing his power core.
"Arrow!" She called as Hanna lined up her shot and fired an arrow at the hole. She missed by an inch and Savannah was thrown into a car. Grid transformed his arm into a cannon and fired at Hanna, wj=ho barrel rolled out of his way. She fired again. Each arrow doing no damage. Then Grid shot one last time time, hitting Hanna in the chest, she fell to the floor trying to regain her fading consciousness. She spaced out.
Savannah screamed as she slammed her mace down on Grid's shoulder. He grabbed her and slammed her to the floor. She screamed when he broke her arm by stepping on it.
Dylan got up, his leg throbbed. Almost fully healed he ran at Grid. He spun his arms making vortexes and threw them at Grid who was knocked aback. The android turned to him and glared.
"Yo tin man!" Dylan called shaking his hips, "Follow me bud!" He ran circles around Grid, landing punch after punch.
"I may not posses emotion, but I can tell that I should be annoyed by your insubordination." Grid said slashing a sword down on the healing leg of Velocity who then plummeted to the floor.
*Grid return to base." Zoom said over the com to the android, who opened a boom tube and left. Kat woke up and ran to Hanna, she called Sam who didn't waste anytime getting there.

The team returned and were given medical treatment. Hanna would be fine, just benched for a while and so would Savannah.
In the grotto Kat sat in front of Nightshade's statue. She stared at her. She bit her lip and pulled her arms close to her body.
"Um, hi, I'm Kat. Yeah, I updated your first suit to feel a bit like my own." She said awkwardly, "Uh, Kylee, I know Nate and Dick miss you, I know they need you back, but it's not happening." She continued she lowered her gaze to her feet and sighed, she ran some of her hair behind her ear. She looked back up and breathed deeply. She spoke with a little more confidence.
"I can't replace you, I use your suit, I use your first identity, I can't keep tarnishing your name. Kylee please if you hear me up there with god, tell me, how can I make, Dick, Tim, Nate, Jason and you proud of me?" She asked, she tried not to tear up.
"I need this, I need to know, could I at least carry your legacy, the way Dick does my dad's, could I, I'm I worth it?" She asked starting to cry. Dick walked in and stared at her, he peeled of his mask and walked over to her and embraced her in his arms.
"You are Kat, your worth it." He said crying with her. Kat then stared back at Nightshade, she smirked.
"Won't let you down." She thought, she had no idea why that thought crossed her mind, but she knew she'd live up to that promise.
