Young Justice Phantoms has come to an end and what and end. First the final battle, the post credits, Miss Martian being a bad ass, Lor Zod's most satisfying death (that bastard deserved it) and last but not least the wedding.
We all knew that Icicle Jr. was going to be invited. Let's be quite honest he deserved to be there. He was the reason Superboy and Miss Martian became a couple. He made it all possible. That is why Icicle Jr. is the MVP of Young Justice. Let's up hope for a season 5.
Now back to the crossover story.
The italic part of the chapter is a flashback, it takes place from the story "Who is She". It takes place between chapter nineteen and chapter twenty.
London
September 9, 15:01 UTC
Members of the Metropolitan Police are surrounding the Palace of Westminster. There are civilians outside of the building being held by police preventing from getting close. Then two men wearing military clothing appears by the front door. One of them is holding a member of the Parliament by gunpoint. While the other draws his assault rifle at the police threatening them. Cat Grant along three members of a news crew is forced to enter inside at gunpoint.
Inside the building, members of a radical group armed with assault rifles are in the meeting room. They are holding representatives hostage including the Prime Minister. Then Cat Grant would enter room at gunpoint along with the news crew two men and a woman who is holding the news camera.
"What are you planning to accomplish" asked the Prime Minister.
"In due time" a member of the radical group responds. He looks at the news crew "frisk them."
Members of the radical group frisk the news crews. "They're clean."
"What is this about" asked Cat Grant.
"You'll find out" said the member of the radical group. He glances at the woman holding the news camera "start filming."
The woman holds up the camera begins filming. Unbeknown to everyone the woman is actually Sherry Birkin who secretly presses a button on her smart watch.
At a nearby building across the street from the meeting place, Alice Crock is on the roof loading up her crossbow. She looks at her smart watch to see a red dot is blinking. She takes out a pair of binoculars looking through them. After finding what she's looking for, Alice opens up the duffle bag taking out a mounted zip-line launcher. She sets it up aiming the weapon at an appropriate target hitting a large structure with an arrow. Alice takes out a zip line trolley placing it on the cable. She stands on top of the ledge of the roof getting ready to zip line to the building.
…
Alice Crock is staring at an apartment building on Sprang Boulevard. She's wearing clothes similar to the one Artemis wears but, wearing black heel combat ankle boots, a black leather jacket with a white V neck T-shirt underneath and tight dark blue jeans. Alice look nervous but then Artemis puts her hand on her shoulder spooking her twin.
"Um you okay there" asked Artemis.
Alice scratches her head. She lets out a deep sigh "maybe we shouldn't…"
Artemis looks at her twin placing both her hands on Alice's shoulders. "She's needs to know. I-we can't keep this from her."
"I'm concerned on how she's going to react" said Alice.
"What you think she going to get upset" Artemis asked her twin.
"That and probably look away in disgust" as Alice looks down.
"That's not going to happen" Artemis tells her twin.
Alice takes a deep breath clap her hands together "okay, let's do this."
Artemis shakes her head doing inside the apartment with Alice following her inside. Paula is inside the living room drinking tea when she hears a knock on the door. She steers her wheelchair to the door opening it.
"Sorry I'm late" said Artemis entering inside but she doesn't close the door. Alice stays near the doorway so she doesn't get seen by Paula while listening to their conversation. She hears Artemis talking to her mom about what happened eight years ago involving herself and the Team.
"I do remember the past couple of days were pretty rough" said Paula. "You didn't want to talk about it" she says looking a little sad.
"And it's time for me to tell you" Artemis says.
Alice listens to the conversation that lasts for a couple of minutes. She hears every word as her body language looks worried.
"So that's why you didn't seem like yourself when you came home that day" said Paula.
"I didn't know how you were going to react" Artemis says.
"Did Jade know about the Artemis clone" asked Paula.
"She did" Artemis answered. She looks away in disgust adding "and dad."
Her mother shook her head as Artemis would continue "it was scary when I first saw her. That would've been me have I walked down the same path as my father."
Alice looks down wiping her tears. She hears Paula mention the aftermath of Africa.
"So, they're all gone" asked Paula.
"Not really one of them was never in Africa" Artemis tells her mother.
"So one of them is alive" Paula says.
That is when Artemis looks to the door that is still open. "Come in" she says.
She enters the apartment standing next to her twin. "Mom, this is my clone. She goes by Alice" Artemis tells her mother.
Paula is at a loss for words. But then crosses her arms over her chest "I had a feeling something wasn't right. Especially the day when I went to the cemetery to see my daughter's grave."
Alice looks confused "what are you talking about?"
Paula chuckled shook her head "that terrible disguised voice and not to mention the hug. I only know one person that hugs me like that." She glances at her daughter.
"You don't seem shock by this" said Alice.
"My son-in-law is a human clone of Roy Harper" Paula says. "After years of knowing Artemis' friends, I'm use to it."
Alice scratches her head trying to think on what to say. She then would ask Paula "so…what's going through your mind?"
Paula looks at Alice taking a deep breath then glares at her. "Do I have to worry about you too?"
It's now Alice's turn to be loss for words. "Um mom what do mean by that" asked Artemis.
Paula shakes her head "Jade running away from home years ago and with you staging her death." She looks at Alice "do I have to worry about my other daughter as well?"
Artemis sighs "mom, I know staging my death was…" She looks at her twin noticing her eyes are watery "Alice, are you okay?"
"Daughter…" is what Alice said as begins to cry. "Did you…really mean that?"
"Of course I meant it" Paula says to Alice.
Alice bits her lip as tears comes down from her eyes. She approaches Paula getting on one knee giving her a hug.
"…you hug just like Artemis" as Paula hugs Alice back.
Artemis shakes her head ends up wrapping her arms around both her twin and her mother.
…
Alice glares at the Palace of Westminster. Using the zip line trolley, she slides to the building landing on top of the roof. Back inside, two members of the radical group place an object on top of the table that is covered with a black towel.
"What is underneath that towel" asked the Prime Minister.
"You will find out." He then signals another member of the group who aims the assault rifle at Cat Grant. "Do your job."
"This…is Cat Grant reporting live inside the Palace of Westminster" she nervously says. She clears her throat. "Where the radical group calling themselves the Movement have taken members of the House of Parliament as well as the Prime Minister hostage-"
"That's enough" the member of the Movement tells Cat Grant.
"We have only one demand. The release of Chester Barrett" said a female the member of the group.
"Are you insane" asked the Prime Minister. "You want me to release that terrorist?"
"You can't be serious" said a shock Cat Grant. "He was responsible for the bombing in London two years ago."
"I will not give in to your demand" the Prime Minister angrily tells the Movement.
"Maybe this will change your mind" as the female member of the group removes the towel revealing a virus bomb.
The other member of the Movement takes out a handheld detonator. "Release Chester Barrett or everyone in this room will become infected."
"You'll be infected as well" said Cat Grant.
"Not quite" the female member of group chuckled. She put on a gas mask.
The other members of the Movement also put on their gas masks. Outside of the meeting room, two members of the group are guarding the door. A rubber ball rolls to the where the two are. They both look down at the ball then one of them gets hit with a bolt in the neck that incapacitates him. The other member sees this also gets hit as well.
Back inside the meeting room, the female Movement member aims her assault rifle at the Prime Minister while the other is about to press the button.
"So, what's your decision" she asks.
The Prime Minister looks like he's about to give into their demand. Then door opens as a member of the radical group is walking but looks fatigued.
"Hey you're to suppose to be standing by the door" said female member of the group.
He falls to the floor as Alice emerges from behind him shooting a member of the Movement with bolt. The rest of the group aims their guns at her.
"Who the hell are you" asked the female Movement member.
"Just someone stopping a terrorist attack" Alice tells her aiming her crossbow at the group.
"You're either incredibly brave or incredibly stupid" the male member of the group holding the detonator. "Look around. You're outnumbered."
Sherry, who is still posing as a camerawoman takes out a handgun from a hidden compartment. Alice shakes her head "hate to break to you but those numbers about to dwindle."
She then looks at her smart watch "right about…now."
Armed with her handgun, Sherry drops the video camera shooting two members of the Movement. Alice shoots the female member leaving the last one left who is holding the detonator.
"Do you want to retract your statement" asked Alice.
"About time you got here" said Sherry.
"Well I couldn't go through the front door" Alice tells Sherry.
"Do you have any idea how heavy that camera was?"
Alice rolls her eyes aiming her crossbow at the member of the Movement. "Put the remote down and put your hands over your head."
Sherry aims her handgun at him as well "you got nowhere to go. It's over."
He shook his head "oh it's never over." He goes to the Prime Minister wrapping his arm around his neck. With the detonator in hand, the Movement member walks back to the door keeping Alice and Sherry at bay.
"Let him go" Sherry shouts.
"Oh I'll let him go. But first catch" as the Movement member tosses the remote in the air.
Alice rushes to go get the remote. The Movement member then pushes the Prime Minister into Sherry as he makes his escape. Sherry leaves the room to go after him but he's long gone. Alice manages to catch the remote by the tip of her finger.
"I got it" as Alice catches her breath.
"The son of a bitch got away" said a disappointed Sherry.
"Well at least we stop…" as Alice checks the remote noticing it feels light. She checks the battery compartment and is shock to find it empty. "Shit."
Sherry sees the remote with no batteries inside "oh no."
"Can you disarm it" asked the Prime Minister.
"Disarming bombs is not my expertise" Alice says.
The Movement member makes his way to emergency exit. He pulls out another handheld detonator out from the pocket of his army jacket. He's about to press the button when he notices someone behind him. He turns around only to get punched in the stomach. He then gets his head slammed against the wall knocking him out.
Alice looks to attempt to disarm the bomb despite the fact she doesn't know how to.
"Do you know what you're doing" asked Sherry.
Alice stares at the virus bomb "no not really."
She's about remove the blue wire when the Movement member who fled gets thrown into the room landing head first into the desk. Both Alice and Sherry turn to see him just as Jake Muller enter the room.
"You guys lose something" asked Jake something them the remote.
He tosses it to Alice who catches. She looks at the compartment opening it taking out the batteries.
Jake shook his head "terrorists are getting smarter by the minute."
"You can say that again" said Sherry.
"Is everyone okay" asked Alice.
"Yes thanks to you three" the Prime Minister answers.
"You really save the day" Cat Grant adds.
"Is what we do best" Alice says. She takes out her phone looks to Cat Grant "could you um not mention our names? We don't want to risk getting noticed."
"But you guys stopped a terrorist attack" Cat says.
"We don't want people to know who we are" Sherry tells television news personality just Alice leave the making a phone call.
Thirty minutes later, the Metropolitan Police have placed members of the Movement into the several paddy wagons. Alice, Sherry, and Jake are at a far distance away from the Palace of Westminster. They see a team of specialists taking the virus bomb away.
Jake sees the last member of the Movement being put inside the paddy wagon. "I would like to know how they got their hands on that bomb" he asks.
Alice glares at the bomb being put inside the metal case "yeah same here."

Dr. Isaacs is looking out the window staring at the lake. Excella is sitting on the couch watching a video footage of the Team of Miss Martian, Kid Flash, Static, Thirteen, and Wonder Girl fighting against members of a paramilitary.
"Such a lovely view" said Dr. Isaacs.
"I spare no expense in purchasing this villa in Northern Italy" Excella says.
The Zatanna clone would enter the room. She's wearing casual clothes similar to what her twin wears. She sits on the couch next to Excella.
"When was this" the Zatanna clone asks.
"About a week ago" Excella answers. "I'm looking the perfect test subject."
The Zatanna clone lean forward noticing a familiar face. "M'gann" she asked looking bug eyed.
"Miss Martian" said Excella as she too leans forward. "I thought her skin was green. Why is her skin white?"
The Zatanna clone does a thinking gesture "wait now I remember. She revealed to the Team her true form. She's a White Martian.
"I have to say I'm impressed with the human cloning" said Alexander Isaacs.
"Well of course it was the only good thing Wesker ever did" Excella says.
"Interesting young heroes" said Dr. Isaacs looking at the footage.
Excella seems to be more intrigue with Thirteen and her powers. "That girl's powers are very impressive" she says.
"It looks like she's using magic" said the Zatanna clone.
Excella smiles "she's perfect."
"So, how are we going to do this" asked Dr. Isaacs.
"Just one thing, a hostage" Excella responds looking at Dr. Isaacs.

The Grim Reaper is inside STAR Labs placing explosive devices within the facility. He walks pass the two unconscious security guards taking out a remote looking at his watch. He's about to press the button when Kid Flash uses his super speed to snatch it out of his hand.
Kid Flash wags his finger "sorry but can't have you blowing up things."
Then someone uses super speed to snatch the remote away from Kid Flash. He's wearing a costume similar to a familiar speedster but in black and red and also has on a black ski mask with red visors.
He looks up and down at Kid Flash taking off his mask glaring at him. "This is the imbecile that replaced my twin brother."
"Oh you must be that cheap imitation I've heard so much about" said Kid Flash.
"Who the hell are you" asked the Wally clone.
"Um Kid Flash duh" he tells him.
"You know that's not what I meant" said the Wally clone gritting his teeth.
"Oh, I see you want know who's behind these goggles" Kid Flash tapping the red visors. "Sorry faker can't tell you that."
"You know what it makes no difference" the Wally clone says.
He is about to presses on the remote. Kid Flash uses his super speed to grab it but the Wally clone counters with his super speed catching him off guard.
"Whoa" said a surprised Kid Flash.
"What's wrong? Not fast enough to catch me" the Wally clone taunts him.
"Wally was never this fast" Kid Flash says in a low voice.
The Wally clone shows the remote to Kid Flash in a taunting manner. "If you want this so badly, come and get me." He uses his super speed to flee. Kid Flash does the same going after the evil clone of Wally West.
The Grim Reaper shook his head approaching Casey Klebba who is slowly getting up. "You don't seem to stay down." He takes out a 9mm pistol putting to Casey's skull. Then Miss Martian would appear phasing from the floor using her telekinesis to take the gun away.
"Well if isn't the Martian herself" said Grim Reaper. He looks up and down at her appearance "not bad look. Green was never my favorite color."
"Why are you attacking STAR Labs" asked Miss Martian about to attack him.
The Grim Reaper chuckles "just because I plant some explosives don't mean I'm attacking the place."
"Then why are you and the Wally clone here" she asks.
"Who said it was just the two of us" asked the Grim Reaper.
Miss Martian has concern look wondering who else is here in STAR Labs.
Blue Beetle and Wonder Girl are on the roof where they are three bombs planted on top. With the help of the scarab, he successfully disarmed all three of them.
"That's it" said a disappointed Wonder Girl. "I expect more than this."
A shadow figure is seen coming down toward Beetle and Wonder Girl. The two heroes see this quickly evades a fierce punch that hits the ground. The figure is a male wearing all black clothes similar to a certain Kryptonian human hybrid. He also is wearing a black ski mask with red visors. He looks at both Blue Beetle and Wonder Girl.
"You two could put up a decent fight" as he cracks his knuckles.
After hearing him speak, Wonder Girl narrows her eyes at the figure realizing who it is. "You're the evil Superboy clone I've heard so much about" she says.
He takes off his ski mask "and who might you be? Bracelets, lasso. Hmm, didn't think Wonder Woman had kids."
"Ugh" as Wonder Girl glare at the Conner clone who in return laughs at her.
Blue Beetle transforms his right arm into a sonic cannon aiming at the Conner clone.
The Conner clone raised his eyebrow "am I suppose to be afraid?"
Beetle hits the Conner clone with a sonic blast but he evades it. The Conner clone goes for the attack but gets blasted with a high pitched sonic scream forcing him to cover his ears. Wonder Girl uses her lasso on the Conner clone but he grabs it. He pulls the lasso with Wonder Girl in tow straight into a closed fist sending her right into Blue Beetle.
Wonder Girl gets up rubbing her head "well that was unexpected."
"You can that again" as Blue Beetle gets up glaring at the Conner clone.
Back inside STAR Labs, Thirteen is cautiously walking in the hallway. She stops when she hears a commotion coming from the workshop. She takes a peek at the room to see two members of a paramilitary armed with submachine guns. She also sees a man wearing lab coat is sitting down on the floor with his legs crossed looking down leaning against the wall.
Thirteen uses her magic on the fluorescent ceiling lights that falls on the two mercenaries. With them down she heads to the STARS Lab employee. Thirteen unties him unaware that the employee is actually Alexander Isaacs.
"Are you alright" she asks while glancing at two mercenaries.
"I'll okay" Alexander responds. "But you won't be" as he takes out a stun gun hitting Thirteen with an electric shock that takes her out.
He takes off the lab coat looks down at an unconscious Thirteen. "We better hurry" said Dr. Isaacs
The Zatanna clone appears from within her glamour charm spell. With a sinister smile on her face she takes out Plant 50 Beta approaching Thirteen. The Grim Reaper approaches an incapacitated Miss Martian taking out an advanced combat knife that glows a fiery yellow color.
"Interesting thing about this tool" said the Grim Reaper. "It was created by the Umbrella Corporation."
He's about to use the weapon on Miss Martian when he hears a beeping sound. He puts his fingers up listening to someone speak through his comm. The Grim Reaper looks down at Miss Martian who in return glares at him. He proceeds to leave the facility.
"Where are you going" asked Miss Martian who is slow to get up.
The Grim Reaper stops looking back "we got what we came here for." He continues to leave while Miss Martian looks on puzzled.
Back of the roof, the Conner clone had just listened over his comm. "Well it was fun while it lasted" he says.
"You're not going anywhere" Blue Beetle says in anger.
"Actually…" the Conner clone takes out a grenade. "I am" he tosses it to them as it explodes emitting a bright light that temporary blinds them.
Once they get their vision back, the Conner clone is long gone.
The Wally clone stops at the medical bay leaning against the bed. Kid Flash would arrive to the same room in second seeing Wally's evil clone with detonator in hand.
"Look like I won the race" said the Wally clone.
"This wasn't a race" Kid Flash says. "I was busy disarming the bombs."
The Wally clone shook his head "I guess this means you guys won." He puts the device on top of the table. He then turns around putting his hands over his head.
Kid Flash approaches the Wally clone unaware that he has a sinister smile on his face. The minute Kid get close, the Wally clone quickly grabs his wrist. He slams Kid Flash's head on the table then throws him against the wall.
Kid Flash quickly recovers rubbing his head. "Should've seen that coming" he says.
"As much as I want to inflict more damage to you…" the Wally clone looks at his watch. "It's getting late. I'll see you around." He uses his super speed to make his escape.
Static would show up to the medical bay seeing Kid Flash get to his feet. "Um Kid was that? "
"Yeah, the Wally West cheap knockoff" Kid Flash responds.
"So what was the point of this" asked Static just as Miss Martian arrives along with Blue Beetle and Wonder Girl.
"Something's not right…" said M'gann. She looks to the Team only to notice one member is not with them. "Where's Thirteen" she asks.
The rest of the Team also notices her absence. Miss Martian uses her telepathy but she's unable get in contact with Thirteen. "She's not responding" she says.
"On it" Kid Flash runs out the room searching for Thirteen. He comes back seconds later. "She's in the workshop. She's not looking good."
The Team would arrive to the room to see Thirteen lying on the floor. Miss Martian checks on her who begins to get up.
"Are you okay" asked Wonder Girl.
Thirteen moans in pain holding her head struggling to stand. Miss Martian and Kid Flash help her up. Suddenly they hear a sound coming from the closet as if someone is trying to get out. Blue Beetle approaches the closet opening the door to see Silas Stone bound and gagged. Beetle unties him removing the tape from his mouth.
"What happened" asked Miss Martian.
"Two men wearing tactical clothes attacked me" Silas explains. "They forced me take off my lab coat, tied me up, put tape around my mouth and put me in the closet."
"Anything else" asked Kid Flash.
Silas nods "I've heard a man talking. He had a British accent. And I also heard a woman's voice…Zatanna's."
…
Fade to Black
The Zatanna clone's attire is similar to what she wore from the crossover story "Endgame" but more alluring like the original. I've also included the "Hot Dogger" from Resident Evil 3 remake.
Get ready for the next chapter.
