Disclaimer: I don't own Young Justice or Danny Phantom.
Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo sorry for taking sooooooo long. Life got in the way . . . and reading other Fanfiction. Yeah, I'm a bit ashamed, but not too much. Now, so you don't have to reread the last chapter.
~"Just as the others were free from Lunch Lady's meat attack and Kid Flash was about to ask Danny and Robin rather pointedly as to why they hate each other, Katherine (A clone Atruevious made) showed up laughing.
"Really, father wants me to best you lot? Easily done," Katherine said taking out a staff and charging the confused teens."~
And now to the new stuff.
(Still in Happy Harbor)
"Uh . . . you are who exactly?" Kid Flash asked dodging Katherine's staff.
"You can call me Kat," Katherine said trying to hit the three closest to her and somehow managing to hit Danny on the head, knocking him out.
"Why are you attacking us, or is this just one of those random villain attacks?" Robin said flipping over Kat, not at all concerned about Danny.
"Why would I tell you that?" Kat asked as she clotheslined the speeding Kid Flash with her staff.
Artemis fired two arrows in quick succession, standing protectively over her unconscious boyfriend. Kat used her weapon to deflect them away from her.
"That the best you have?" Kat asked as Rocket put a force bubble around her.
"That should hold her," Rocket said.
"Miss Martian, try to read her mind," Aqualad ordered.
"I have been, her mental barricades are stronger than any I've encountered before," the Martian said.
"Anybody else notice the smug look on her face?" Zatanna asked as Kat hit the force bubble with her staff, shattering it.
"I really hate that staff," Artemis mumbled aiming another arrow at Kat.
"Hate is a very strong word, love. You never know how your opponent will take that," said Kat using her staff, yet again, to break Artemis's bow.
Kat then through the staff at the hovering Miss Martian, knocking the Martian to the ground, unconscious. All the while using a disabling move on the archer, sending Artemis's unconscious form into a heap beside Kid Flash.
"That is enough," Aqualad said trying to use his weapons to subdue her, but she dodged the attacks easily.
"I thought the Justice League's sidekicks would do a better job than this," Kat said grabbing her staff and hitting Aqualad in the gut.
"What's your deal with us?" Robin asked throwing a bird-a-rang at Kat to draw her attention away from the struggling Atlantian.
"My father wants you out of the way. My actions are an extension of his will," Kat said pinning Robin with her staff at his throat that released knockout gas.
Kat pulled out a rebreather and let the gas flow over the rest of the young heroes.
"Again, I thought they'd be more of a challenge. They will be out for a while. Oh great, now I am talking like father," Kat said as the Justice League appeared.
Kat teleported away before they could get to her.
. . .
(In the not-so-abandoned warehouse)
"Were my actions satisfactory, father?" Katherine asked as she appeared before Atruevious.
"More than satisfactory, darling, you did extremely well for your first time in the field," Atruevious said to his daughter. "Now, go back to your stasis pod. I will awake you for your next assignment."
"As you wish father," Katherine said as she went to her pod.
"Now what to do with those troublesome clones . . ."
. . .
(In the Cave's Med-lab)
"How did one girl beat the crud out of us?" Kid Flash asked annoyed.
"She knows something we don't," Danny said.
"How do you know?" Robin started angrily. "You were KOed for the most of the fight!"
"I was semi-conscious when she had you pinned with her staff," Danny said.
"You little . . ." Robin was cut off.
"Enough! What is it with you two always pinning the blame on each other and totally dissing everything the other says?!" Kid Flash was finally able to ask. "Rob, I've never seen you act like this to anyone. Why him? And don't go off about waiting until we find the clones, because your little grudge is going to slow us down."
"Why him?! I'll tell yah why him. He brought his ghosts into my city and Batman and I had to clean up his mess," Robin said letting out his pent up anger. "It didn't end well for anyone. On top of that our clones are captured by a nut job he could've stopped."
There was a silence in the med-lab after that. No one knew what to say after the boy wonder's rant.
"I could've stopped Atruevious when he was working with one of my enemies a while ago, but I didn't. Atruevious disappeared without a trace and didn't do anything until now. There were other threats I had to deal with," Danny said. "I could have tried harder to keep the idiotic Box Ghost in Amity, or the Ghost Zone for that matter, but he somehow found his way to Gotham. I understand what I did hurt you, but no one has ever bothered to hear my side of the story. It's hard to keep doing the "hero thing" when almost everyone is against you and one of the only people who supports me is captured by a villain I could-should have stopped."
"Is everything ok in here?" Black Canary asked from the doorway, obviously hearing the yelling from down the hall.
"Better than they have been," Robin said.
"O-ok then," Canary said warily and left.
"We never did bother to listen to your side of the story," Robin said calming down.
"You wouldn't like it. It's basically an excuse," Danny said looking down.
"Please, tell us," Artemis said.
"I had been capturing ghosts left and right ever since I got out of school. I only had one ghost left to catch . . . Box Ghost . . . the most annoying ghost in the Ghost Zone," Danny said.
"What's this Ghost Zone?" Miss Martian asked.
"The place where the ghosts he fights come from," Robin clarified.
"Anyway, the Box Ghost had the bright idea to go try to steal this weird type of box in Gotham and ended up having a party with the Joker," Danny said. "They apparently boned over their "love" of Jack-in-the-boxes."
"Let's just say we got beat by a bunch of those boxes," Robin said shaking his head.
"I was hurt already from my earlier battles that day . . . and I slipped up . . . nearly got Batman and Robin Killed . . . got yelled at and shunned by Batman . . . not the best day in my life," Danny said.
"Wait, Batman actually raised his voice at you and you lived?!" Kid Flash asked.
"I'm still here aren't I?" Danny commented.
"Do you think Kat could have something to do with Atruevious?" Rocket asked after a long pause in the conversation.
"Perhaps, but we need to find more information on her," Aqualad said.
. . .
(In the not-so-abandoned warehouse, again)
"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" screamed Dani as Atruevious electrocuted her for the tenth time.
"A-t-Atruevious, stop." stuttered Red Arrow because of the amount of blood loss from the multiple stab wounds Atruevious gave him.
"I can't hear you Red Arrow," Atruevious called.
"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh-A-aaa-aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh," screamed Dani again as blood dripped from her mouth, for the third time, and she passed out.
"Well, fun as always little clones. Keep this up and I'll have to try some new methods," Atruevious said turning off the machine and laughing manically. "See you later."
"I really can't wait for someone to teach that guy a lesson or ten," Superboy mumbled still dizzy from his latest torture session with Atruevious.
"Yeah, me too," Red Arrow said as Dani groaned and coughed up blood. "Dani, you alright?"
"I'm alive," Dani groaned and coughed some more. "D-do you think our friends are looking for us?"
"Of course they are, Dani," Red Arrow said.
"We will get out of this . . . somehow," Superboy said.
"You guys keep saying that," Dani said drowsily. "I just wanna see my family again."
"You will, Dani. We'll get you home," Red Arrow assured as Dani passed out again.
"I don't think we can last much longer," Superboy said.
"Don't you start doubting our friends now. You'd be surprised how long we can hold up. We just have to have hope that something will give us the edge we need to get out of here," Red Arrow said.
"I hope yo-your r-right," Superboy stuttered and passed out.
"Since when am I the optimistic one?" Red Arrow thought before succumbing to unconsciousness himself.
