Wally took artemis and they went to the dancefloor, joining the other couples.
" what brings to gotham" artemis asked.
twirl"even though it is crime ridden. I would say I like what it offers."wally said. his voice deepens.
twirl.
"you're enjoying this gala"
"if you don't count the rich who are stiff as a board here. i can say its fine."
dip
"wally." abigail said through the comms." do you see a man in a pin stripe grey suit. ginger beard. bushy eyebrows.look down if you see him."
he saw the man who matched the description, who was just about to leave the dancefloor.wally looked down.
"that is our mystery buyer. keep an eye on him."
'got it'
as the music ended wally gave a small kiss to her hand, winked then left unaware that someone heard their chat.
--
"artemis. get ready." artemis snapped out of her gaze at the man who just left.
thank god
she left unnoticed before chnaging into her tigress uniform.
"meet us at the south side of the building."
soon enough the four met outside. glitch was typing something on her phone.
"what are you doing?" artemis asked.
"hacking into cameras." she said with a smirk."and making sure we are right on time. the secret website that held the auction was deleted an hour after the bidding."
bart just stared at her i awe while aqualad and artemis stared at her with an eyebrow raised.
'i can why she is nightwing's apprentice'
"there"
they hid as they watched the seen. never noticing a sniper's scope watching both the team and the buyer.
--
wally watched in his red and black costume as the scene unfolding peaked his interest.
"ready...3...2."abigail started before she shot a stun shot at one, making him pass out.
soon enough wally ran. punching and making the remaining 2 pass out.
abigail came down as wally opened a crate. he whistled."you were right doc...it was beetle tech"
"and from the looks of it we are not alone."
he turns to face her as his former team came out of the shadows.
'just great'abigail was pointing her gun at them.the team was ready.
"we dont want to harm anyone."
"yeah and I don't bite hard." she said with a slight tone in her voice.
suddenly aqualad gripped his water bearers, causing Abigail shooting his hand.
'this is absolutely necessary...no'
he ran to catch Bart. but he was still to fast. suddenly he was facing Caroline. she threw a punch making wally Dodge. then he was tackled.
(author-chan: I really wanted to put this here...just because.)
"we are still friends right?" she asked him.
"depends on how hard you hit me." as they switched places, pinning glitch.
wally looked up and he was smacked by aqualad. he skidded on the floor. wincing.
artemis stepped on his chest.
he glanced at Abigail. aqualad threw a punch but it just fazed through her.
'so that's what her core does.'
Bart tried to tackle her from behind but her core glowed emitting a radial blast. making kaldur and Bart now kid Flash stop.suddenly they were moving backwards like somebody pressed reverse. but that did not stop glitch throwing a kick making Abigail fall.
'shit'
"what should we do with them and the tech?" artemis asked.
"we take them to Watchtower."
--
they were both handcuffed in front of the league.
"so they are the interference in the mission."
"but we do not know their motives on the tech."
batman and the rest of the league members stared and the handcuffed duo.
"unmask them." super man cut batman statement.
"should we asked them first."
Abigail and wally shared a look.
you don't have to. her eyes pleaded.
it's already too late. he looked at the league.was he ready to face them so soon. the first raid they have to destroy the reach tech they were already caught...they saw he was a speedster.
they saw the video of the fight. suddenly batman faced glitch."can you explain this." he rewind the clip where she pinned me. the dialogue clear.
"we are still friends right""depends on how hard you hit me"wally looked at glitch who looked nervous.batman started."so you know them. friends right?"
Caroline was about to respond when wally cut her off."it's alright."he faced the rest of the league members. " you can take the mask off."
aqualad and artemis took hold of Abigail's and Wally's hood and goggles.glitch was staring with regret.
once it was taken off the league watched with shocked eyes. artemis breath hitched.those eyes.his . Wally's.
"you were dead."
"i ceased."
suddenly the handcuffs were off. artemis faced glitch. anger sparked in her eyes."you knew it was him did you?"
glitch just looked down."answer me!" she just flinched. wally grabbed artemis' forearm and stared her down.she removed his grip and he stared at the league again. all of them were staring at him. except green lantern he was staring at Abigail.
"explain."
