(At the Not-So-Abandoned warehouse, near Lake Erie)
"Come now, Katherine we're leaving," Atruevious said shoving Kat along.
"Where to?" Kat asked surprisingly sweet.
"To visit some of my friends with the Light," Atruevious said ushering Kat out the side entrance.
Just as the two mentally unstable villains walked up to the getaway truck as the henchmen loaded the sopping wet, beaten, and unconscious archer in the back.
"You know where to go?" Atruevious asked his men and they nodded in response. "Good, get . . ."
"Not so fast, Atruevious," Kid Flash stated with Artemis at his side, bow drawn.
"You've got someone that belongs with us," Robin said with the bat-glare full on and Zatanna at his side.
"Hum . . . you got here faster than I anticipated," Atruevious muttered. "Kat, take care of the sidekicks."
"With pleasure," Kat said taking out her staff and aiming it at Robin.
"KF, Arty, go get Red Arrow," Robin said defending himself from Kat's attack.
"On it," Artemis said as she and Kid Flash raced toward the back of the truck.
Kat tried to through her staff at them, but . . .
"Etativel eht ffast," Zatanna said as Kat struggled to hold on to her weapon.
"You rely too much on that staff," Robin said landing a hit on her side.
"Don't let them get the clone you twits!" Atruevious yelled at his men.
"Seriously," Artemis said ensnaring the two men in a net.
"You can never find good help these days," Atruevious muttered running after Kat.
The speedster then unlocked the back of the truck and the sight of their broken teammate made them both gasp.
"Roy?!" Kid Flash said rushing to his friend's side. "Come on, wake up."
"W-Wally?" Roy asked after coughing a few times. "T-took ya l-long enough."
"Let's get you back to the Bio-ship," Artemis said helping her fellow archer to his feet.
. . .
"They must be in here somewhere," Rocket stated as she, Danny, and Aqualad entered the basement to the warehouse. Miss Martian stayed on the Bio-ship for a quick getaway.
As they neared the end of the hall they heard whimpering. They ran faster and knocked down the door at the end of the hall. The sight on the other side of the door shocked them.
"Dani!" Danny said running over to his "cousin" and unlocking her chains as the others undid the unconscious boy of steel's restraints.
"Y-you're here," Dani muttered snuggling into Danny's chest as he picked her up bridal style, careful not to aggravate any of her injuries.
"Easy, Dani. We're getting you out of here," Danny said following Rocket out the exit, Aqualad supporting Superboy behind him.
"R-Roy, he t-took hi-m," Dani stuttered anxiously.
"Roy's friends are getting him out, don't worry," Danny said soothingly as they made their way to the Bio-ship.
Dani had a coughing fit as they got up the stairs.
"Easy, Dani. We're almost there," Danny said as he noticed how warm the girl in his arms felt.
"Danny, I don't feel good," Dani said.
"It's ok, you'll feel better soon," Danny said reassuringly.
"I'll go check on the others," Rocket said once they reached within sight of the Bio-ship.
"Good idea," Aqualad said as Rocket ran to aid their friends.
. . .
"You little brats, foiling my plans," Atruevious said helping Kat up.
"You shouldn't have messed with our clones," Zatanna spat as Artemis shot both Atruevious and Kat with the polyurethane foam arrows from behind them.
"We will get you back for this treachery," Kat said struggling against the foam.
"Zatanna and I will stay here until the authorities and the League arrive," Rocket said standing by the sorcerer.
"Y-you guys . . . g-get the . . . others out?" Roy asked as Artemis and Kid Flash helped him walk to the Bio-ship that was landing right in front of them.
"Yeah, they're already on board," Robin said as they walked on the ship.
When they got to the main room on the ship Artemis started to patch up some of the new cuts on Roy's arms and Robin got a blanket to help dry off the soaking wet teen. Miss Marian was flying the Bio-ship as fast as she could back to Happy Harbor as Aqualad started to stabilize Superboy and Danny was desperately trying to bring down Dani's fever.
"I'm c-cold," Dani muttered, shivering slightly.
"I know, but we need to wait until that medicine kicks in, your fever is still too high," Danny said stroking her hair.
Throughout the whole ride no one spoke of the elephant in the room.
. . .
(At The Cave-after all the clones had the surgeries they needed)
"Hey, everybody there?" Danny asked through his com.
~"We're all here. Did you find them?" Sam asked.
"Yeah, we found them." Danny said as there were cheers on the other end. "They're pretty banged up, but they'll be ok."
"That's great. When will you guys come home?" Jazz asked.
"I don't know yet. . . as I said they're all hurt badly, one of the other clones still hasn't woken up, the big leagues say we need to stay here until she's able to be debriefed." Danny said.
"They can't. . ." Vlad started but was cut off.
"I think it's best that she stay here for awhile." Danny said. "Guys . . . All three of the clones aren't doing well, they will be ok, but not for a while."
"Is there anyway I can see her?" Vlad asked sounding honestly concerned.
"I'll see what I can do. . . I'll call back later," Danny concluded and, after his friends goodbyes, made his way back to Dani's bedside.
Robin and Kid Flash were standing guard over their archer, as was Miss Martian over her boyfriend.
Roy had fallen back asleep, completely drained after the ordeal they went through. Superboy still hadn't woken up yet. If he doesn't soon, he runs the risk of falling into a coma.
"Hey, Dani," Danny said taking a seat beside her bed and taking her hand. "The pain meds kick in yet?"
"Yeah, a bit," Dani said looking at her fellow clones.
"They'll be alright, Dani," Robin said.
"They're strong, you know that," Kid Flash said.
"I know . . ." Dani looked like she was going to say something else, but a coughing fit stopped her.
"Dani, you should get some sleep now," Miss Martian said. "We'll still be right here when you wake up."
"Danny, you remember what we were talking about before . . . all this?" Dani asked.
"Yes, I've been thinking of the irony of that conversation a lot in the past eight days," Danny said shaking his head at the ceiling. "But Miss Martian is right, you should sleep. We'll still be here when you wake up."
"O-ok, goodnight," Dani mumbled as she started to drift off to sleep.
"What was the conversation about?" Robin whispered after a few minutes to ensure that Dani was really asleep.
"All of you, 'sidekicks' I mean," Danny whispered back.
"Really?" They all asked at the same time.
"Yeah, she was rambling on about all of you and how I'm around the same age as you," Danny said nearly rambling himself. "She's really quite the fangirl."
The tree just stared in shock of what was just said. In the hero world they were typically seen as kids, but a hero's partner saw them as something to be admired.
"And you?" Robin asked earning a questioning look from the male half ghost. "What do you think of us?"
"I think you know what you're doing," Danny said "I don't think I would've been able to get Dani back without your help. So, I'm grateful to your team on many levels, thanks."
"You don't need to thank us, this is what we do," Robin said.
And so the young heroes waited for their clones to awake.
