Infiltrator

Mount Justice

August 8, 19:55 EDT

Everyone stood around Leila- known as her Raven attire- and Artemis in the center of the mountain. Batman, Green Arrow and Red Tornado stood directly opposite of the zeta tubes with the Team branching out to surround the incoming members. Aqualad and Superboy stood on the right side while Robin and Miss Martian stood on the left. Artemis held her crossbow in a nonchalant but determine stance while Leila weaves her raven-shape shuriken between her fingers. Glancing around with her eyes, Leila observes her surroundings. The mountain was carved out and the center chamber contains two zeta tubes and a circular platform Leila figures is the debriefing room for missions. Behind her was a hallway leading to other rooms of sanctuary for the Team.

*The Team. * Leila glanced back upon each of her teammates, observing each of their stances while they weren't looking. Aqualad held a calm yet strong stance, one held by a leader and Leila could tell he was one of thoughtfulness and keen-sight. Superboy stood next to Aqualad, holding himself in a prideful attitude with his arms folded. A tough and stubborn member of the Team, one Leila saw as close minded to anything but what was right in front of him. Miss Martian excitedly bounces on the balls of her feet, a given to Leila that she was the cheerleader type of the Team. And then there was Robin, grinning whenever the two of them made eye contact. Leila merely continued to smirk, remembering the late night of reunion last night. Her heart was pounding the whole time at the reality on seeing her silly high school crush again. Leila hated the fact that Robin's mischievous grin was still capturing her but she never shows it. Hidden by sly talk, she was an assassin after all.

Brief introductions were made but everyone was waiting for Kid Flash to arrive. Leila smirks in amusement; funny how the fastest one on the Team is the only one late.

"Kid Flash should be here any minute" Miss Martian pipes in excitingly just as the computer broadcasts Kid Flash arrival. Miss Martian would be the enthusiastic one on the Team. Leila could tell she is the enthusiastic and the newbie in this gig.

"Recognize. Kid Flash. B-zero-three."

Miss Martian smiles brightly as Kid Flash's silhouette starts to form.

"See. There he is now. I'm sure you three will get along."

Leila smirk widens as the brilliant light ebbs away to reveal a flaming-red hair and freckled face boy, dressed in beach attire, sunscreen and carrying various beach items. One large umbrella with a boom-box, cooler, sunglasses, towel and beach ball. Leila glances over at Artemis as she hides her amusement with her own smirk.

"The Wall-man is here! Now let's get this party star-" Tripping over his own umbrella, the "wall-man" stumbles to the floor. Scattering the various beach equipment while the beach ball bounces through the awkwardness and passes a stern-looking Batman. Leila raises an eyebrow, grinning mischievously and thoroughly amuse.

"-ted"

Leila could hear Robin's quiet snickers as Artemis confronted the clumsy kid.

"Wall-man huh. Love the uniform. And what exactly are your powers?"

Kid Flash grumbles as he pushes himself up and walks over defensively to complete the circle surrounding the two girls.

"Uh who are they?"

"Artemis."

"Raven."

"Your new teammates"

"Kid Flash. Never heard of either of you."

Green Arrow hurriedly steps in behind Artemis, putting a hand on her shoulder.

"Uh She's my new protégé."

"Wait what happen to your old one?!" Kid Flash cuts in just as the computer system announces another arrival.

"Recognize. Speedy. B-zero- six."

Leila narrows her eyes as the zeta tubes flash again a brilliant light before a tall, Caucasian, auburn hair male strides into the mountain. Dress in a black with red chest suit with matching crossbow, various gray straps, gray quiver and black fingerless gloves, Speedy walked in with a frown.

"Well for starters he doesn't go by 'Speedy' anymore. Call me Red Arrow."

Leila could sense the heighten tension in the room as Green Arrow takes a step towards the proclaimed hero.

"Roy. You look-"

"Replaceable."

"It's not like that. You told me you were going solo."

"So why waste time finding a sub. Can she even use that bow?" Red Arrow accused as Leila raises an eyebrow. *If you are going solo, why affront Artemis?"*

Artemis meanwhile narrows her eyes and takes a step in front of Red Arrow.

"Yes. She can"

"Who are you?" Kid Flash cuts in again. Frustrated by the fact that two new girls were being added to the Team, one of which was taking the spot for Red Arrow. Artemis and Green Arrow replied at the same time.

"I'm his niece."

"She's my niece."

Robin chuckles, "another niece."

"But she's not your replacement." Aqualad step up behind Red Arrow, taking the role of leader and attempting to lessen the tensions.

"We have always wanted you on the Team. And we have no quo on archers."

"And if we did, you know who we'll pick." Kid Flash affirms after Aqualad. Leila merely rolls her eyes, debating whether if this really was a good idea. The Team within itself held tensions and Leila was used to getting the job done with efficiency. No arguments or disagreements. As Shadows, you worked as one. Still twirling her shuriken within her fingers, Leila continued to observing her surroundings silently.

"Whatever Baywatch. I'm here to stay."

Leila sensed everyone's eyes on her as Red Arrow stepped towards her.

"And her? What can she do?"

Leila smirked before replying

"I do have a name you know. Raven. I'm one of Batman's protégés obviously so why confront me. But if you would like to know what I can do, just have to ask nicely and I will show you."

Red Arrow growled under his breath as Robin covers his mouth to hide his laughter. Leila meanwhile stares down Red Arrow as she moves back to a more opened space on the platform, using one finger to indicate for him to follow.

"I'll go easy on you, don't want an arrow to hit anyone, just a little hand-to-hand combat to demonstrate. Mind being my sparring partner." Leila sly talk edges Red Arrow to set down his bow, frowning as his opponent turned the tables on him. Yet, was stubborn enough not one to back down from a challenge. Leila grins as Red takes a fighting stance in front of her, everyone's eyes on the two of them. Closing her eyes, Leila breaths deeply before striking. It was over in seconds. Leila strike first, an obvious punch to the face with her left arm. Red Arrow caught her arm with ease but Leila was prepared, unraveling her fist to grab Red Arrow's wrist and twisting it back. Leila at the same time, strikes with her right hand at several pressure points to Red Arrow's rib cage side and thigh. Red Arrow gasps out in surprise and pain as he leg buckles under him before Leila grabs his arm and flips him over her shoulder to the ground. Silence follows after the loud thud of Red Arrow slamming against the platform and Leila smirks, leaning over Red Arrow.

"Stronger than I look."

Robin's snickers are muffled as Red Arrow grumbles, every member of the Team staring in shock at how fast and easily Raven took down her opponent. Kid Flash raised an eyebrow before grinning, in a split second he appears right next to Leila and leans against her.

"Whoa. Babe. Take me down any day."

Leila rolls her eyes before smacking the speedster off and helping Red back up.

"Don't worry Red. This method could even subdue Superboy here. You did ask though."

Red Arrow rebuffs Leila's help, jerking his shoulder from her grasp and dusting himself off. Aqualad instantly brings things back to business while Leila walks over to quietly to stand by Artemis.

"You came to us for a reason."

"Yeah. A reason named Dr. Serling Roquette."

Robin raises an eyebrow in recognition before holding his right arm in front of him, pulling up a holographic keyboard from his leather glove. Various holographic screens appear in the center of the room, displaying all the data base information on Dr. Serling Roquette.

"Nano-robotics genius and expert in claytronics at Royal University in Star City. Vanished two weeks ago."

"Abducted two weeks ago. By the League of Shadows."

Leila narrows her eyes at this acquired information, seeing where the Shadows have been spending their time now instead of looking for her. Leila kept her hopes neutral however. Shadows are everywhere. She doubts someone of her value, with a label of traitor, will be taken off the kill list. Meanwhile, Kid Flash and Robin were ecstatic about the prospect of saving Roquette from the Shadows. "Whoa. You want us to rescue her from the Shadows?"

"Hard core."

Leila doubts Red Arrow would let the Team take that glory.

"I already rescued her."

Point proven. Leila folds her arms across her chest as Red Arrow walks up towards the holographic screens, adding his own updates to the computer system as he speaks

"Only one problem. The Shadows already coerced her into creating a weapon. Doc calls it 'the Fog', comprised of millions of microscopic robots."

Leila scrutinizes the image of the Nanorobot (a insect-like robot) and data of the Fog as Red Arrow explains his Intel.

"Nano-tech infiltrators. Capable of disintegrating anything in their path. Concrete. Steel. Flesh. Bone. But its true purpose isn't mere destruction, it's theft. The infiltrators eat and store raw data from any computer system and deliver the stolen Intel to the Shadows. Providing them access to weapons, strategic defense, cunning-edge science and tech-"

"Perfect for extortion, manipulation, power-broking. Yeah… sounds like the Shadows."

"Are the Shadows."

Leila's statement broke in simultaneously after Artemis. Both girls stood with one hand on their hip and the other holding their signature weapon in a nonchalant stance.

Kid Flash snorted in disbelief. "Like you two know anything about the Shadows"

Artemis and Leila smirk, causing Kid Flash to yell out in frustration,

"Who are you?"

Red Arrow frowns as he continues his debrief as if nothing happened, desiring to keep the attention on him and back to business.

"Roquette is working on a virus to render the Fog inert."

"But if the Shadows know she can do that..." Interjects Robin, thinking his thoughts out loud.

"They'll target her. Right now she's off the grid. I stashed her at the local high school computer lab."

Green Arrow steps in this time,

"You left her alone?"

"She's safe enough for now."

"Then lets you and I keep her that way"

Red Arrow narrows his eyes, accusing Green Arrow "You and I. Don't you want to take your new protégé."

Green Arrow takes a step forward, about to object before Batman puts a hand on his shoulder to stop him. As the two of them share a quick look, Leila continues to observe Red Arrow. He is hotheaded and has a quick temper, but what perplexes Leila is Red's affronting of her. His anger about Green Arrow taking Artemis as a new protégé is understandable. Even if she doesn't know the reason Red went solo in the first place, anyone would be mad at the prospect of being 'replaced'. But attack her position on joining the Team? When she was Batman's protégé? Not that the title gives complete trust, but if Red Arrow is mad at Green Arrow, why bring Leila and Batman into the mess? Leila is pulled out of her thoughts at Red's rebuff.

"Then my job's done." Striding out, Red Arrow shoulders past Leila before continuing to the Zeta Tubes.

"Recognize. Speedy-"

"That's Red Arrow, update, B-zero-six." Red Arrow disappears with a flash, leaving behind the awkward tension between the Team and the newcomers. Leila bites the inside of her lip, before concealing her concern with a smirk as Kid Flash and Artemis share a glare. Her first mission. One against the Shadows and one that could expose her true identity to the Team.

Happy Harbor High School

August 8 21:55 EDT

Leila is leaning against the lab computer's table top, her arms folded against her chest as Kid Flash and Artemis argue through the psychic link. Knowledgeable about telepathy, Leila tries to keep her mind as blank as possible. Miss Martian may play the innocent cheerleader of the Team, however, Leila does not trust anyone who could manipulate the mind. In agreement with Doctor Roquette's previous complaint of having voices in her head, Leila frowns. It was hard enough dealing with her own thoughts and the two lovebirds were squawking up a storm that was annoying enough when instead they should be focusing on listening to the shadows.

"How about I just help Miss Martian and Superboy patrol the perimeter." States Artemis as she stalks out of the computer lab, declaring her current argument with Kid Flash finished. Leila sighs in relief as she rubs her temples.

"You might want to cut her some slack, it was her arrow that saved your butt against the Amazo android." Robin chimes in, raising an eyebrow at Kid as he devours a granola bar.

"What? No that was Speedy's- I mean- Red Arrow's arrow. Right?"

"Not so much." Robin concludes with a smirk.

"Pfft well still not giving her the satisfaction."

"You know I can still hear you!" Yells Artemis angrily in everyone's thoughts and

Leila growls mentally, "Serious you two. Cut it out."

"I couldn't get the Justice League." Serling Roquette mumbles mentally as she types away at the 'kiddie' computer. Leila narrows her eyes at Doctor Roquette. It was true that the Team was a bunch of teenagers, but that doesn't mean that they weren't professionally trained. Aqualad walks around the table to stand behind Doctor Roquette,

"The virus can't be much use if we cannot find the weapon, can you track it?"

Serling Roquette turns around defensively before replying,

"My utility Fog is not a weapon. It's science. Brilliant science and of course I can track it. But I would have to go online. Might as well rent a billboard with this address and 'assassinate me' written in neon." Roquette states in despair as she turns back and rub her forehead. Aqualad places a hand on her shoulder in reassurance, "We will protect you."

Leila merely rolls her eyes, going back to staring at her tessen while letting her senses expand around her. She can sense the footsteps of Artemis echoing through the floor, hear the rustling of bushes from birds taking flight outside, and feel the anticipation from her teammates as Roquette clicks the button to track the Fog. Minutes tick by as Leila keeps her nonchalant stance; only being pulled out of her concentration by Artemis.

"Mmm... that boy."

Through the psychic link, Leila could see Artemis eyeing Superboy as he lands onto the pavement next to her. It wasn't a direct sight in front of her, like seeing Superboy herself, but an off-sight of Artemis's thoughts as she eyed Superboy with interest. At the same time, Leila could sense Miss Martian's jealousy, "He can hear you, you know. We can all hear you."

"Oh I know." States Artemis with a sly smirk before Aqualad cuts in as the collective leader he is,

"Miss Martian, Dr. Roquette has located the Fog. Reconfigure the Bio-ship so that Robin and Superboy can pursue." Leila glances over at Robin before he rushes out of the computer lab, both sharing communication of encouragement through eye contact before separating ways. With Roquette as the main target, only a small squad was sent to render the Fog inert.

It's sending Leila's nerves on end, the constant commotion through the psychic link that was distracting her from observing. Currently Miss Martian and Artemis were arguing and the fact that it was over a boy is more annoying than Kid Flash and Artemis's lovebird argument. Leila rubs her temples again, moving towards the corner in front of the computer lab as Aqualad sends Kid Flash to patrol in the hallways. The seconds ticked by before Leila heard anything, a small click as the door to the computer lab nudges open to reveal a flying shuriken soaring straight for Roquette. Aqualad intercepts the weapon, calling out as it sinks into his chest and he lands on the floor, "Doctor. Get down!"

Leila flicks a tessen as more shuriken come flying at Doctor Roquette. Aqualad at the same time pushes Roquette out of the way as a woman in a dark green and black kimono with a white and red striped Cheshire-resembling cat mask appears from the doorway. Leila's tessen takes out two of the five tessen, but the rest sank into Aqualad's arm.

"Hmm that had to hurt." utters the assassin as she rushes into the room with two sais in her hands.

"Atlantean skin is quite dense." Aqualad confirms as he withdraws his water-bearers to form into two swords. Pursing her lips, Leila rushes forward to help, pulling Doctor Roquette away from the fight as the assassin engages with Aqualad. Leila should've figured it would be Cheshire sent to silence Roquette. Poisonousness shurikens, advanced form and instincts to kill, Cheshire is a true assassin in fulfilling her assignments. Kicking Cheshire away, Leila hears Aqualad's mental command,

"M'gann, Kid, Artemis. We're under attack in the computer lab."

"On our way." Artemis replies as Aqualad charges towards Cheshire. Sword against sais, Leila debated her role in this fight. She desperately wants to engage Cheshire and help Aqualad, but leaving Roquette as an open target is not why she is here. Standing in front of Roquette, Leila held a defensive stance with her tessen fanned out. Cheshire meanwhile jumps up and wraps her leg around Aqualad's neck, pulling him down with her before throwing a sais towards Roquette. Aqualad and Leila both block it, Aqualad intercepting its course with his water-bearer before Leila blocks it with her tessen.

"Almost. Not bad kids, but not good enough. Poison slowing you down?" coaxes Cheshire as she stands, reaching for another sais from behind her before engaging with Aqualad again. Holding his sword back with her sais as they stare each other down.

"Jellyfish toxin. I'm largely immune." Aqualad states as he leans over Cheshire, only for her to knock him out by slamming her forehead into his. Leila frowns, as Aqualad is knocked unconscious, staring at the grinning mask of Cheshire.

"Largely." Leila could sense Cheshire smirking behind her mask before glancing up at Leila. "And looky here. Cat found the traitor birdie as well." Cheshire twirls her sais before an arrow flies, knocking the sais out of Cheshire's hand. Cheshire cries out in frustration before turning around to find Artemis aiming another arrow at her.

"Don't move." commands Artemis before walking into the room, keeping her aim on Cheshire. Aqualad staggers to his feet before taking a protective stance next to Leila. Cheshire merely chuckles, "This gig is getting interesting." Unsheathing a collapsible sword, Cheshire faces-off with Artemis as she fires arrow after arrow at her. Miss Martian and Kid Flash fly and race into the room, stopping just beside Roquette, and causing Cheshire to see that she was outnumbered five-to-one.

"Maybe a little too interesting," remarks Cheshire before sliding her hand behind her. Leila instantly throws her own raven-shuriken simultaneously as Kid rushes forward and Cheshire throws down a flash bomb, blinding the five heroes as she disappears. Aqualad covers Doctor Roquette as Kid Flash jumps through smoke, rolling out of his fall into Artemis' arms. Both separate immediately in disgust, realizing who each of them were holding. Leila's shuriken having struck into the wall instead.

"Gone," Kid Flash states in anger.

"She's getting away! You're letting her get away!" Yells Roquette as Leila walks over to retrieve her shuriken, sensing the growing exasperation from Kid as he confronts Artemis.

"This is all your fault. How did that Shadow get in?"

Artemis merely narrows her eyes as Miss Martian steps forward in confessing,

"That's not really fair. I was outside too."

"Outside...being distracted by her." Accuses Kid Flash as he jabs his thumb at Artemis, before looking affectionately at Miss Martian.

"Besides, I can't be mad at you. You gave me mouth to mouth." Confesses Kid Flash, his last statement through the psychic link and Miss Martian folds her arms while everyone addresses Kid Flash at the same time,

"We heard that."

"Dang it." He pouts as he stalks off towards the other side of the room. Leila rolls her eyes again. If someone was to blame, all four of them were responsible. Miss Martian and Artemis not only distracted themselves but also Leila from concentrating. Leaving Kid the first defense, a defense that was easily apprehensible from Leila's perspective. Miss Martian places a hand on Artemis's shoulder,

"I didn't do half as well during my first battle. And I know you can't have been Green Arrow's sidekick for very long."

"Focus everyone. The Shadows will be back." Instructs Aqualad just before Robin radios in.

"Robin to Aqualad. We're over Philadelphia. We located the Shadows next target. Star Labs. We're too late. It's destroyed. Totally destroyed- the Fog decimated it. This is bad. Star Labs is cutting-edge science and now their secrets are in the hands of the enemy. What's our next move?"

"Obvious little birdie." Mutters Leila to herself as Aqualad proclaims the plan.

"Rescan for that Fog- find it. We're moving the doctor."

Leila turns around from facing the wall, giving a nod towards Aqualad as she walks over to help Doctor Roquette. Due to her lack of concentration, Leila had help Cheshire break in and almost succeed in her assignment. Leila keeps her head down as Aqualad continues explaining the plan. In order to fool the Shadows, the plan was for Miss Martian to disguise herself as Doctor Roquette with Artemis and Kid Flash "guarding her", meanwhile Leila would guard the real Roquette in a separate location until further notice. Leila has no objections- this time she would not fail.

Minutes later, Leila peers out of the blinds of a local cafe. Aqualad is supposed to be back any minute, having fooled the Shadows further by stating out loud how she and Miss Martian were suppose to make a wide perimeter sweep in stealth and camouflage mood, making them believe that the Shadows had the upper hand in numbers with the two of them gone and Aqualad apprehended from the beginning. Leila soon after backtracked and flees to her real position in protecting Doctor Roquette as she furiously works to create a virus. Leila keeps to herself as Roquette types away on the keyboard, trying to predict the Shadows next target of intel. Star Labs was already demolished, so who would they target next? Leila closes her eyes, trying to place her mind in that of Ra's Al Ghul's. Ra's Al Ghul would target intel that his enemies had, and his main enemy was Batman. Leila snaps her fingers as she realizes the Shadow's next target with the Fog. WayneTech. Leila is pulled out of her thoughts as she hears commotion on the roof and Aqualad cautions Roquette,

"We have company."

"Uploading now! And by the way, you said you'll protect me." Chimes in Roquette as she finishes typing on the keyboard. Leila held three raven shurikens in her fingers, letting her sense branch out as a smoke ball rolls in, creating a fog of gray smoke. Aqualad stood at the ready, eyeing the smoke as he takes out his water-bearers and creates his two swords again. Leila meanwhile turns around, knowing the technique of distraction Cheshire was using. Quickly scanning the front side of the room, Leila backs up to table in front of the computer Roquette was using before scanning the ceiling for movement. In a flash flew out six kunai, three aimed at Aqualad's back and three aimed for Leila. Leila easily fans out her tessen to block all three, while Aqualad is hit in the chest as he turns at hearing the weaponry. Cheshire jumps down from her hidden position from the ceiling. "Let's test the limitation of your jellyfish immunity shall we." cajoles Cheshire before Aqualad shakes his head to clear it and strikes. Cheshire straightens before easily dodging Aqualad's double strikes and kicking him in the head, knocking him unconscious again.

"There. Limit tested."

This time Leila strikes, coming up from behind Cheshire and jabbing her in the neck's pressure point. Cheshire cries out before leaning over and kick-sweeping Leila's legs out from under her. Leila growls under her breath as she slams against the ground.

"Don't think I don't know your techniques Raven. It's a shame- you could've been helping me instead. Be among the Shadows, not hiding from them." Sneers Cheshire as she throws a sais into Leila's palm, keeping her pinned on the ground. Leila clenches her jaw as the sais pierces her hand, creating a numb and searing pain feeling throughout her arm. Leila knows her hand would eventually be fine. Her fast healing from her powers would leave only a small scar but in order to keep her powers hidden, Leila kept her act by screaming behind her clenched jaw.

"Don't want the birdie to fly away now do we? Now Doctor. Time for my appointment," Cheshire proclaims as she unsheathes her second sais, striding towards Roquette as she backs away in panic. Leila slams her fist against the floor, irritated at the fact that she couldn't do anything to intercept Cheshire. Her only hope is that Roquette's virus would complete in time for Cheshire not to kill her.

Leila closes her eyes, indecisive of what to do. If she intervenes, her secret would be out and it wasn't like she had the inhumanity to kill Cheshire. Yet, Roquette could be killed and it would be her fault for not saving her. Just how Leila couldn't save her mom. Leila reopens her eyes, determined on what she needed to do. Glancing over her head, Leila sees Cheshire grabbing Roquette by her shirt, raising her sais for the striking kill. Turning her hand intangible, Leila frees her bloody hand and was about to throw her shuriken to gain Cheshire's attention when she pauses. Cheshire was looking at the computer screen, holding her killing strike at bay.

"So you finished the virus. Eliminating the reason for your elimination." Cheshire leaned in closer to Roquette, "Though not the entertainment value," before pushing Roquette to the ground and Leila sighed in relief.

"Lucky for you my orders are clear. You live to program another day. After all doctor, the Shadows may find another use for you." Stashing her sais away, Cheshire turns around and walks over to Leila, who had reposition herself as if she was stuck there the whole time. Looking up with a frown on her face, Leila glares into the masked eyes of Cheshire,

"Roquette may have eliminated her reason but a traitor towards the Shadows…" Cheshire pulls out her sais and Leila clutches her hand to her chest, remembering to not let her powers heal her yet. Cheshire twirls her sais before leaning over Leila, keeping her on the ground with her foot on Leila's chest, "is one that should be silenced. However, death is not the only form of silence. I wonder what will happen to your position if your little teammates found out about you. And with Artemis in too. An interesting gig this is indeed. Remember Leila, you cannot hide from the Shadows." Leila hears the warning in Cheshire's voice as she releases her holding on Leila and casually walks out of the cafe. Leila looks away before rolling on her side, getting up on her hands and knees. Glancing over at Doctor Roquette, Leila can sense the confusion and growing hatred towards her as Roquette glares at her.

"You-you're a member of the League of Shadows?" Roquette accuses before backing away in fear. Leila sighs before looking away from Roquette, trying to portray in her regret through her body language.

"I was trained by the Shadows yes. But I am not a member, Doctor Roquette. I am a part of this Team and am a protégé to Batman now. Have I not been trying to protect you?" Leila unclenches her hand to show Roquette her wound, hoping that Roquette will understand that she was not going to kill her. Leila glances over to Aqualad as he starts to stir awake, gasping for breath as his body tries to fight off the poison,

"Leila...what...what happened?"

Leila quickly rushes to Aqualad's side, helping him up on his two feet and avoid blotting his suit with her wounded hand.

"Once you were unconscious, I hit Cheshire from behind but then she knocked me to the ground, pinning me with her sais. She was about to kill Doctor Roquette but then the virus uploaded… She got away." Leila mumbles the report while Doctor Roquette came up to help Aqualad, lifting his other arm around her neck to help support his weight. Whatever feelings Roquette has against Leila seemed to disperse as she saw Leila gently help Aqualad, disregarding her own wounds in concern for his. Leading the way out, Leila glances up in surprise in seeing Artemis standing in front of the cafe with a concerned frown.

"Artemis, where's the assassin?" questions Aqualad as he attempts to stand up on his own. Artemis merely continues to stare down at the ground,

"She- uh, she got away." Artemis states before turning away. Leila could tell she was hiding something as seeing Cheshire's mask lying on the ground a few feet from the door. Kid Flash skids to a stop beside Artemis,

"Oh from you? Big surprise. Noticed we got ours." Chides Kid as Miss Martian comes up behind with the assassins, Hook and Black Spider, tied together in rope. Kid turns as he notices the mask as well.

"Cool. Souvenir" He exclaims before picking up the mask in excitement. Leila rolls her eyes as Aqualad walks over next to Kid Flash, pulling out the three kunai.

"Her mask. Did you see...her face?" He grunts in question with each pull of the kunai out of his chest. Artemis holds her stance facing away from the team, only turning her head to answer,

"It was dark."

Leila raises an eyebrow. Knowing exactly how Cheshire and Artemis's fight turned out. A sister stand down over whose position was more important to keep. Just how Cheshire debated over killing Leila or keeping her silence by blackmailing her position on the Team. Leila comes up beside Artemis, placing a hand on her shoulder in reassurance.

"It is fine. Robin and Superboy neutralized the Fog and Doctor Roquette is safe. Thanks in no small part to you two." Aqualad confirms while Artemis and Leila turnaround, keeping their faces neutral. Aqualad gives a small smile.

"Welcome to the Team."

Artemis and Leila both give a small smile in return as Aqualad and Miss Martian walk up to them. Aqualad shakes each of their hands while Miss Martian smiles excitedly and Kid Flash the last to follow,

"I've always wanted a sister- here on earth I mean, I have twelve back on Mars but trust me it isn't the same."

"Uh wouldn't know. But thanks" Artemis says as Miss Martian elbows Kid Flash in the stomach. Leila smirks as Kid Flash frowns at Miss Martian,

"Ow. Yeah...welcome."

Artemis raises her hand in compromise, declaring her and Kid Flash's earlier disputes over as Kid Flash shakes her hand in agreement. Leila couldn't help but smirk, knowing that their arguments probably wouldn't stop over a handshake.

Gotham City

August 9 1:16 EDT

Leila and Artemis stepped out of the telephone booth, the brilliant flash ebbing away to shadows. Leila had her hand wrapped in a bandage and Artemis held her bow at her side. Both girls looked around, narrowing their eyes, before each took a defensive position. Artemis swiftly notched an arrow to her bow before turning around, aiming at her target in the shadows as she kneeled on one knee, while Leila fans out her tessen, ready to strike with her arm pulled back across her chest. Artemis was the first to command,

"Step into the light. Now."

Both girls stiffen as a tall male walked out of the shadows, clad in a black, gray and red suit with a red bow and quiver on his back. Red Arrow.

"Nice move. Almost made me believe you are Green Arrow's niece, Artemis." Red Arrow states as he walks up to the two girls, both lowering their defenses and Artemis stood back up.

"But we all know you're not. And Leila is more trained than for one to suddenly become protégé to Batman."

Leila and Artemis narrow their eyes, Leila taking a more defensive stance by folding her arms across her chest.

"Still. I'm sure GA and Bats have a reason for lying about the two of you. So your covers are safe...for now. But I warn both of you," Red Arrow pauses as he leans into the faces of Artemis and Leila, "Do not hurt my friends."

Red Arrow turns and stalks off, leaving Artemis to look down in doubt and Leila glaring after him. Confronting Artemis was understandable, but threatening Leila held her with her own suspicions of the solo hero.

Unknown island

The aged man sat cross-legged in front of seven screens surrounding him, bowing his head in respect as he waited for permission to speak. Each of the screens held a head's figure in a silhouette of light- so as to obscure their identities.

"Report."

The man opened his eyes, calm as he reported, "Masters. Before Ojo's captured, he transmitted the Star Lab's data you required. But the WayneTech intel still eludes us."

"Once again, the young...heroes interfere. So it is fortunate we have an operative on the inside."

A/N: So sorry this is later than usual again. As you can see, it's a long chapter and took me awhile to figure out how I wanted to place Leila/Raven with the Team and fight scenes. I'm planning on not doing another episode until 'Benefit' and will do fill-ins instead with references to the show's timeline. Hoping you all like it and please, please, please review. A special thank you to all who have followed and favorite this story. I will let you know that I won't be able to post for a week or so but I will continue to write, just won't be able computer access to upload. Thank you all again and hope you have enjoyed it.
