Just a warning this one isn't too funny but I had to make them meet, for the record though, the friend whom Kida is based on would never bring her food into the movie theatres.

Thankyou to everyone who reviewed, I'm to lazy to list you, so I'll do it later...


"You're at the grocery store?"

"yes, how many times do I have to say it for you to understand?" Hannah said, grinding her teeth.

"I don't know, I just thought that running your daddy's errands was, well, beneath you," Ariel's voice crackled through the phone.

"You might want to remember who your boss is."

"Hey you called me. Besides technically you're not my boss, you're just my- whoops, sorry, I really have to go. Kida's glaring at me."

"Yeah, yeah, just leave me alone in the toiletries aisle." Hannah sighed and stared at the phone, "I really need to get some friends my own age."

She scanned the rows of shampoo and hair products, "no, no, no, no, no, like hell, closer, perfect." Hannah stopped and stared at the out of stock sign. Can my day get any worse?

"Everyone put your valuables on the counter. Now."

Apparently yes.

She sighed, she was not in the mood for this, maybe she should just leave? After all it's not like this had anything to do with her, she just wanted to get her frigging conditioner, grab her dad's lunch, and get the hell out.

"Hey missy, didn't you here me? Hand over your wallet and I might let you get away safely."

"Drop the gun and no one gets hurt," a young guy about Hannah's age had appeared. He was wearing a red outfit and donned a bow and arrow.

Hannah used the distraction to pull the criminal into a full nelson. "Don't ever call me Missy. Ever." She hissed, now, drop the gun, and I might let you get away without a black eye."

The Red arrow - formerly Speedy, Hannah noted, - relaxed his grip. She pushed her now terrified victim to the ground. "What are you looking at?" She asked the Archer, "go arrest him or something, I actually have something else to do."

Roy glared, he had been about to save this girl, but before he could make an angry reply – she was gone. He looked at the man on the ground, he could stick around to make a statement, help arrest him.

Roy turned around and walked out the door.

The police had a store full of witnesses, and they'd be here soon. Besides that, he really didn't like being told what to do, especially by some rude civilian.


"Technically you're not my boss, you're just my- whoops, sorry, I really have to go. Kida's glaring at me." Ariel shut off her phone with a snap.

"I'm not glaring."

"Yes you are, what do you call this?" Ariel made an extremely exaggerated face in Kida's direction.

"Why did your boss call you?" Dick's voice echoed from the back of the store.

"Because she's a grumpy, socially challenged, harpy with a martyr complex."

"Some answer," Dick complained.

"It's the truth though," Ariel said, routing through the chips.

"Are you getting anything Sherlock?" Wally asked Kida. Ever since finding out her last name was Holmes, the nickname was hers. Not that she was complaining.

Kida stared, Wally's arms were laden with an assortment of everything. Chips, chocolate, granola bars, even ice cream. "Umm, just this," Kida held out a bag of Reese's Mini's.

"Ready to go?" Ariel walked down to them, followed closely by Dick.

"All set"

Kida frown deepened as they neared the theatre, "I feel bad."

"Shut up," Ariel instructed, "here comes Nat."

"But Ariel-"

"Hey, Nat, how's it going?" Ariel asked louder than needed.

"Good."

"Hey I'm talking here-"

"Ok, lets go."

"ARIEL!" Wally and Dick stared at Kida, surprised by her volume. She continued, "this is wrong, it goes against my religion and more importantly, my personal values. I refuse to be dragged into something illegal and immoral."

"Calm down," Ariel said, irritated.

"No I will not, I'm going to take a hint from the handouts in the guidance office. I'm saying no, because saying no is ok. Saying no is the right-"

"We're sneaking food into the movies, not a bomb." Ariel said, "so chill, and get a move on, I'm not dealing with your frigging tantrum this time."

"But-"

"If you don't want to come, then stay out here and eat your damn candy alone on the floor, cuz I'm going to watch the movie."

Kida attempted to reply again, this time she was cut off by Dick's phone.

"Sorry, I'll just-" He looked at the caller ID, "actually, I better take this call." He walked a few meters away, close enough that they could see his mouth moving, but not hear him.

Ariel's gaze was torn away as her own phone beeped. Her eyes widened, "I really have to go, sorry guys." She tossed her bag of chips at Wally, "sorry." She turned and apologized again profusely. "Tell Dick I'm sorry!" She yelled as she rushed out the door.

"What was that all about?" Wally asked bewildered at Ariel's quick departure. Kida and Nat exchanged knowing looks, "do you guys know something I don't?"

Kida looked up alarmed, she opened her mouth nervously.

"Wally we have to go, our batty friend is definitely not feeling the aster today." Dick reappeared "where's Ariel?"

"She had to go…"

"Tell her we said bye then," the two boys headed out the door.

"Just in the nick of time," Nat muttered.

"Yeah, tell me about it," Kida stared at the door.


"This is where I found him," Roy said motioning to the image on the screen.

"And you didn't see anyone else?" Batman asked.

"No, and I didn't touch the crime scene ether, I'm not an amateur."

"You said he mentioned something before he died, did he give any clues as to who killed him?"

"Not specifically, but he said something about a group of government funded solders."

"We'll look into it." Roy walked out. "I want you to go see if the crime scene holds any clues to the scientists death."

"But Speedy already checked it out, why do we have to-" Wally shut up as Batman glared at him. "To the crime scene it is."


"Nothing over here."

"Negative on the east end too."

"How about you Artimis?"

"…."

"Artimis?"

"….I think someone's here…"

"Miss Martian?"

I've activated the link.

I thought I heard something move.

Robin narrowed his eyes, I found him.

Conner, Wally, head him off at the exit.


The archer stared at Ariel. Her blue eyes searched for Ariel's hidden figure in the shadows.

"….I think someone's here…"

Ariel's heart sped up, if she got caught at a crime scene…..Better not think about it now, she decided, focus on getting out. She could use the back exit and be gone before they knew it.

She crept out the door and stopped, the guy with a black tee shirt and the other with a yellow get up, were waiting for her.

Ariel backed up, then turned around to make a run for it. She moved only to hear a eerie laugh, and be tackled by the boy wonder himself.

"Gotcha."


TADA!

Well, the chapter was rushed but whatever...

I will sneak into Robin's room and steal his clothes for all reviewers .
