Disclaimer: I do not own Young Justice. This is just a story for fun.
Artemis was patrolling the west side of Gotham, she had a mental link with M'gann who was in another part of the city with Zatanna, and Black Canary. It had roughly been two months since the team had defeated the mind controlled League members and chased the Light off. Over time things seemed to have calmed down. Crime had been low in most of the cities except Gotham. Black Canary had suggested going to Gotham as a group to patrol the city and just talk about what was on their minds. Artemis left the group because she wanted some alone time.
Artemis was leaping from rooftop to rooftop, when she got an alert from M'gann.
"Just got an alert about a robbery at Tux and Suits." Thought M'gann.
"I'm close to it I'll go check it out." Thought Armies as she took off to the area.
"Be careful Artemis don't go rushing into anything." Warned Black Canary's.
"Relax." Thought Artemis as she reached her destination.
The store in question was being robbed by a half a dozen man wearing hoodies and white rabbit mask carrying guns.
"Well that's an interesting sight. I see six wearing rabbit mask robbing a store." Said Artemis.
"Your not serious?" Asked M'gann.
"No I'm serious. Don't come this'll be over real quick." Said Artemis as she swung down to the street below.
"Hello boys." Said Artemis as she fired a couple of electrical arrows at two of the robbers.
The arrows struck them and they fell to the ground spasming in pain. The remaining four robbers started shooting at Artemis. The young archer ran to the side and fired a couple of regular arrows knocking the guns out of two of the robber's hands. She then fired a net arrow and trapped the other two robbers in a net. The two remaining robbers charged forward swing their fist. Artemis dodged the first robbers punch and delivered a powerful punch to his face knocking him out. Artemis ducked underneath the second robber's punch and preformed a spinning kick knocking the robber's feet out from under him and sending him crashing to the ground.
"Well that takes care of that." Said Artemis as she dusted herself off.
"Nicely done. You'll make a great Alice." Said a voice from behind Artemis.
Artemis spun around to see a man in a strange outfit holding an odd looking gun in his hand. Before Artemis could do anything the man pulled the trigger and a white gas came out of the gun. Artemis staggered back coughing as she fell to her knees. The strange man moved forward and kicked the bow away from Artemis.
"Who...are you?" Gasped Artemis.
"Why I'm the Mad Hatter. It's time you come back to Wonderland Alice. We've missed you so much. We have to get ready to throw a little surprise party for your friends." Said the Mad Hatter as he pulled out a headband with a flower on it and placed it on Artemis's head.
Artemis felt her will leave her body as the Mad Hatter grinned and laughed.
Several minutes latter M'gann, Zatanna, and Black Canary arrived at the store. M'gann had lost contact with Artemis and was worried about. The group of heroes had decided to go investigate the scene and see what was going on. There was no sign of Artemis or any robbers.
"Something is definitely not right." Said Zatanna.
"I better call this in." Said Black Canary as she began to try and get in contact with the Watch Tower.
At that moment an arrow hit the ground between M'gann's feet and exploded into flames. The alien girl screamed in pain and fell over.
"M'gann!" Screamed Zatanna as she used her magic to extinguish the flames.
M'gann was barely conscious, but alive. Black Canary looked up and saw Artemis standing on a fire escape with a strange headband on her head. There was a blank look on her face.
"Artemis what is the meaning of this?" Demanded Black Canary.
Artemis answered by firing an arrow that exploded into a white gas that covered the streets. Zatanna and Black Canary began coughing as they felt their bodies grow weak. The gas cloud dispersed and the Mad Hatter strolled onto the scene. He placed a headband on M'gann and Black Canary's head. He took Zatanna's hat off and examined.
"You have exquisite taste." He said as he put a headband on Zatanna's head.
A few minutes latter the three heroes stood up with blank looks on their faces as they awaited their orders.
"Come with me ladies, it's time to go to Wonderland and assume some new identities." Said the Mad Hatter.
Artemis jumped down from the fire escape as she joined the group as they marched off.
To be continued.
