Rebel Justice
Meanwhile…
Red Arrow took his team to a safe house outside of town. There, he briefed them on their mission.
"We're going to the club. I need info, and that's the best place to get it from. Aqualad, you'll stay behind with the bioship and cover us."
The rest of the teens went and got dressed in civilian attire. M'gann changed her skin to a light pink, and her clothes to short shorts with a frilly pink off the shoulder blouse. Zatanna magically changed her clothes to a short purple sleeveless dress with a little black lace around the edges. Wally wore black skinny jeans with a tight yellow t-shirt over it. Roy wore the same as Wally, only with a red shirt.
"Let's go."
The team walked down the block to the club, Kryptonite. Though it didn't actually contain Kryptonite, Roy had thought bringing Coner would be a bad idea. The people in the club hated Superman. To a lesser degree, they hated the Lords.
The club was actually underground. They walked to the entrance, which was above ground. The building was run down, boards were nailed up against the window. The teens knocked on the door and a gruff man slid it open slightly.
"My only weakness is Kryptonite," Roy said, looking the man straight in the eyes.
"Come on in."
The man stood to the side and the teens filed in. They went straight for the trapdoor hidden under a rug. Below them was Kryptonite. After opening the door, they could hear the music, and laughter. Secret clubs like this were the only places that had any sense of happiness and joy in the new order.
Silently, the teens slipped down into the club. There were about a hundred teens there, all dancing to the music. Food and drinks, both alcoholic and non, were being handed out freely. The team knew the plan. M'gann, Zatanna, and Wally would spread out among the civilians, keeping watch for anything suspicious and seeing if there was any information they could pick up. Roy was going to head for the boss of the club.
The boss had a deep hatred for Superman. He had taken away the only family she had known, and forced her to hide from the only family she had left.
Cheshire was the boss.
Superman had lobotomized her father and mother. Unfortunately, the procedure had caused an injury to her mother's spine. She would never walk again, not that she would ever be the same person again.
Roy walked straight through the crowd of teens to a room at the back of the basement.
"Cheshire?" he said as he strode into the room.
It was dark, and empty except for a desk with a few papers on it. Suddenly, he felt a thin blade at his throat and an arm around his chest, holding him still.
"You should learn to knock Arrow."
"I knew you wouldn't mind."
The knife withdrew, and Cheshire moved in front of him. She was wearing her normal kimono. Her mask was off, and she looked tired.
"I don't know what I can do for you Roy. The Lords are getting close. I'm going to have to move out, fade into the shadows."
"I just need information. Is there an active rebel in Gotham who I can work with? I need to get into Wayne Tower."
"Let me check."
She pulled out a small computer, on it was a list of all the rebels, active and captured. It also listed their location. Only she could access the list from the computer, others were hidden around the country with different people. The Lords couldn't attain the list. It would be destroyed if only one person typed in the wrong password or if it was hacked into. With the list, all those against the Lords would be goners.
"It looks like there's only a few left. Oracle was wounded a few weeks ago, she'll be out of play for a while, if she ever comes back. Harley was just captured, Catwoman't cover was blown, Croc's hiding in the sewers. Looks like Firefly, Shadow, and Red Hood are the only ones still at active status."
"Thanks Jade."
"I'm sure you'll find a way to pay me back later."
Red Arrow! We need to get out now! The cops are here, and they're arresting everyone!
Link us all up Ghost. Tempest, can you move the bioship to right above the building?
Moving the bioship now.
Good. Lightspeed, don't let them see your powers. Try and get out to the street and create a disturbance.
Got it.
Sorceress, can you blind them somehow so we can get out?
Yep, on it.
Everyone meet on the roof. I'm getting Cheshire out.
Red Arrow turned to Cheshire. He could tell she knew something big was going on.
"We've got to leave, the cops are here."
"Then let's go."
The two slipped out the door. Mayhem was occurring outside. Cops were desperately trying to pull strips of cloth off their eyes so they could see. The teens that had filled the club before were fleeing the scene. Some teens were trying to get out of handcuffs so that they too could escape.
He couldn't see Ghost and Lightspeed anywhere, but Sorceress stopped to help the handcuffed teens. She quickly freed them and then ran out the front door, followed by Cheshire and Red Arrow.
They all met on top of the roof, surprised that the plan had gone so well. Tempest landed on the roof, and they all boarded.
Red Arrow was relieved that they had all gotten out safe. The only problem now was going to be Artemis. How was she going to take the fact her sister was back, and that he had know where she was the whole time?
Oh well. He had bigger fish to fry and much more to do.
