"Dagger!" Robin's voice says nervously over the phone.

"Owe shush Dan," I reply.

"Oh sorry, your with Haley's still, Daisy?" Robin asks.

"Yeah, now tell me what's wrong Dan," I ask.

"There's a big problem in our favorite city," Dan explains cryptically but I understand what he means.

"Okay, we're in Star City, where should I meet up with you?" I ask.

"Star City? Perfect! Meet me at Star Labs," Dan says. I hang up and run to Haley.

"I need to go, Haley, there's a family emergency," I say urgently.

"Okay Kiddo, good thing we found those partners, I'll let them know you're leaving," Haley replies.

"Thanks, Haley," I say gratefully and run to my compartment. I shove a few things in my bag and hurry into town to Star Labs. I go around back of Star Labs and see Kid Flash by the back door eating a banana. I walk up to him.

"Is Robin inside?" I ask Kid Flash.

"What? Who are you?" Kid Flash asks surprised.

"Dude you know me, it's Dagger," I reply.

"Oh yeah, Robin is inside," Kid Flash then replies. I push past him and go into the building and find where Robin is, he's with Artemis, Aqualad, and some girl I don't recognize.

"Where's Megan and Superboy?" I ask.

"Hi Dagger," Robin says not looking up from what he's doing," They're keeping an eye on things," Robin explains.

"Umm who's this?" The stranger asks.

"I'm Dagger, an Ex Villain who sometimes chill with these dudes but not all the time because Artemis and Kidflash don't like me," I explain to the stranger.

"Okay, I'm Rocket," Rocket replies.

"Nice to meet you, do you have some name other than Dagger?" Rocket asks.

"I went to Daisy in the Circus but it's not really my style," I reply.

"Well I for one don't care, we are in the middle of a crisis," Zatanna snaps.

"Ouch my fragile assassins self-esteem," I say.

"This is why I hate you, you make a joke out of being an assassin at a time like this? We are having a crisis!" Artemis shouts.

"Well gee sorry I don't know all about this crisis," I reply.

"Calm down, Dagger, the Justice League is under mind control, Artemis thinks you're going to betray us while we're fixing it," Robin says.

"Okay, what can I do to help," I say sobering up quick.

"You know more about the structure of villains more than anyone, I need you to go find out who else is in on this," Robin says. I nod and go get into my suit in a bathroom and head out.

"She really does look villainous with the costume on," Rocket says as I leave.

"It is hard to take even some of the scariest people seriously in sweatpants," Artemis replies.

I investigate the villains for a little while and once I'm sure the villains arnt up to anything odd I call Robin. I tell them nothing is up with most villains but they have already fought the Justice League without me.
