Alright, this has been sitting around in my files for a few days. Sorry about that, things have been crazy over here.

So there's some action (Which is more than we've been seeing from my story as of late, I do believe) but there will be more in the next chapter, I promise. (With luck it should be ready soon)

So, I hope you like it, and you know the disclaimer.

Chapter Fourteen; Rebellion

Mount Justice

October 26, 15:38 EDT (3:38 PM EDT)

Red Arrow watched as Gabrielle interrogated her mentor, Green Arrow, Red Tornado, and even Batman. He couldn't help a smirk as Gabrielle spoke up.

"But I'm perfectly fine. Why do I have to be cooped up in the cave twenty-four seven? This isn't f-"

Batman glared at her, which – surprisingly – caused her to stop mid-sentence. "Sportsmaster and Cheshire were about to take you with them. You are being held in the cave until the League deems that it's safe for you to leave."

Gabrielle returned Batman's glare. "I can handle myself. I've been taking care of Natalia and myself a little over a month. I don't need any babysitters."

Canary stepped forward. "Gabrielle, it's for your own safety. Sportsmaster tried to kidnap you and Natalia the night your parents-"

Gabrielle turned her glare on her mentor. "I know, and I held my own against him."

Now it was Green Arrow's turn. "We're trying to help you." Green Arrow crossed his arms. "Your mother was a member of the League, and if she were here, she would be doing the same thing."

The five stood in silence for a moment.

Canary finally spoke up. "Gabrielle, we don't want you getting hurt. We don't know what the League of Shadow's wants with you." Canary reached out a hand to place on Gabrielle's shoulder, but Gabrielle avoided it.

"They're probably mad that my Father quit, just like the team they were dealing with is mad that my brother left."

Three of the four League members' eyes widened as the words left Gabrielle's mouth.

Gabrielle crossed her arm. "I told you, I can handle myself. If the Shadow's want me, then let them come. I've dealt with them before and I can deal with them now."

"You're going to stay here, and listen to your superiors. That means Batman, Gabrielle."

All five turned to stare at Superman, Gabrielle only staring at the man of steel briefly before glaring at Batman. "When did you call him?"

"Apparently, it was a needed intervention. Obviously, we need to talk Gabrielle."

Superman motioned for Gabrielle to follow him, and reluctantly she did so.

Once Gabrielle and Superman were out of sight, Red Arrow took the opportunity to leave. He walked towards the living room area of the cave, ignoring the four League members as they watched him leave.

Gabrielle walked over to her bike, placing the helmet on her head, before securing her jacket.

She wasn't technically supposed to be leaving base, but she didn't care. She needed out of the Cave and she needed out now.

Captain Marvel landed in front of her bike. "Where are you going?"

"Out of the way." Gabrielle snapped.

"You're not allowed to leave the Cave."

"Really? Just watch me."

With that Gabrielle started her bike, maneuvering around Marvel and through the Zeta-Tube.

Marvel stared at the tubes in shock, before flying off to alert Batman that Gabrielle had left.

Denver, Colorado

October 31, 18: 10 MDT (6:10 MDT)

Black Rose executed a roundhouse kick, kicking a thug in the jaw.

She stared at the unconscious thugs, listening carefully as she heard someone walking up behind her.

Rose instinctively drew one of her Sais, and aimed it at the person's throat.

"That is the second time you've done that to me."

Rose 'tsked' as she returned her Sai to its holder. She turned and began to walk away. "Go away Arrow, shouldn't you be in that private meeting with Bats anyway?"

"Marvel informed Bats that you left. You need to return to the cave."

Rose spun and glared at him. "What I need is to punch more thugs." She spread her arms wide. "I'm perfectly fine, but I'm still not permitted to leave the cave. I have been cooped up in there for a week and a half. KF has a broken arm and yet he still gets sent on missions."

"Well don't be mad at them. If you want to be mad at someone then be mad at me." Rose furrowed her brows as she stared at Arrow. He quickly explained. "I'm the one who suggested that you be kept at the cave until you're one hundred percent better."

"You're the reason I've been cooped up for a week and a half?"

"I didn't want you going out before your injuries fully heal. It takes you two times longer to heal than a regular person."

Rose was ready to speak, when Cheshire interrupted. "Oh look, the ex-side kick and the newbie are fighting. Isn't this just adorable."

Arrow and Rose stared at Cheshire as she landed on the street in-between the two. She stared between them before staring at Arrow. "You're really making me jealous, always hanging around the newbie."

Red Arrow reached into his quiver, ready to draw an arrow when Cheshire shook her finger. "Now, now. Let's be reasonable, after all you wouldn't want to upset my friends."

As Cheshire finished, a ground of men jumped down into the street, surrounding Cheshire, Rose, and Arrow. "They can be real protective.

Rose snorted. "For a price. Are you really using hired hands to help you now?"

"I don't pay them." Cheshire chuckled for a moment. "All I have to do is mention their favorite side-kick and they jump on the opportunity."

"Sorry to disappoint, but my expectation bar, as far as a challenge goes, is a lot higher than what these idiots can offer." Rose gave a slight nod to Arrow, who seemed to relax slightly.

"But if you all want a challenge... You'll have to catch us first."

Gabrielle threw down a smoke pellet, as Arrow shot an explosive arrow which caused enough smoke to cover their escape.

Once the smoke cleared Cheshire glared around as Rose and Arrow were now gone.

The men stood around staring at each other.

"What are you idiots waiting for? Go after them! I refuse to fail this assignment because of you." And with that Cheshire left, leaving the men to stare at each other.

Denver

October 31, 18:35 MDT (6:35 MDT)

Red Arrow fired a few trick arrows at the group of men that were perusing him and Rose. He watched as the arrows made contact with three of the group's members.

He seemed to smirk, until the same three members stepped forward without so much as a scratch.

He turned and ran to catch up with Rose who was on a different rooftop.

As he reached the rooftop, he found Rose frozen noticing that she had been watching.

He grabbed her arm. "Rose we have to move."

Rose continued to stare at the group as they quickly made their way to the two teens. "T-that's impossible… there's no way they could have gotten out of that without a scratch…"

"Rose!" Arrow yelled.

Rose shook her head, before backing up. "Okay, time to go."

"No duh!" Arrow exclaimed as he and Rose quickly made their way onto another rooftop.

Arrow and Rose froze as Cheshire met them on the next rooftop. "Not so fast, you aren't going anywhere."

Rose quickly drew her Sais before attempting to slice Cheshire. Arrow watched for a moment before turning and preparing himself to fight the group that was now behind them.

Denver

October 31, 19:29 MDT (7:29 MDT)

Cheshire kicked Rose in the chest, which knocked her into Red Arrow right after he fired off another Arrow.

Cheshire walked over to the two teens as they pushed themselves back to their feet. "I must say, your family has proven useful to the Shadows." Cheshire placed the tip of her Sai against Rose's throat. "Your brother helped us gather equipment, and your father kindly provided the research needed to give a few… upgrades to these fine men. The shadow's thought it was necessary after our last encounter."

Rose said nothing, as she backed away from Cheshire's Sai. Cheshire was ready to attack when Arrow and Rose switched enemies.

Rose's first course of action was to kick one of the blonde's in the head. As she attempted to do so, another of the male's grabbed her ankle and threw her onto another rooftop.

Red Arrow fired off an arrow at Cheshire before turning to find Rose was on a different roof top, swaying as she attempted to push herself back onto her feet.

Arrow got off another shot before turning and firing at the group that was now prepared to fight Rose.

When his arrows once again did no good, he glanced back at Cheshire as she was recovering. He took her distraction as a chance to jump over to the other rooftop and aid Rose.

When Arrow landed Rose finally managed to regain her balance, and stared at Arrow as he was now next to her.

He fired at the team making their way towards the two. "So, do you have any ideas?"

Rose glanced around. She used to live in Denver, and it hasn't been that long since she moved to HappyHarbor, right? She should still remember her way around.

She squinted to read a road sign off in the distance. She gasped once she was able to read it. "I know where we are."

"Good, does that help us get out of this mess?"

"It gives us an advantage, yes." Rose ran to the edge of the roof and jumped. "Follow me!"

Arrow turned and watched as Rose jumped off the roof. He fired off a couple more arrows before following her lead.

Denver

"Find them!" Sportsmaster ordered. "It shouldn't be that hard to find a couple of brats!"

Rose snickered as she peeked her head out of the hiding spot she had lead Arrow to.

She pulled her head back in and stared at Arrow. "We should be safe here, at least for a while. They'll think about looking in here sooner or later." She whispered.

Arrow glanced around the building before whispering. "Where are we anyway?"

Rose stood and peeked out of the darkened windows. It was like a one-way mirror, she could see out, but no one could see in.

She quietly made her way over to one of the many computer terminals that sat around. "This is my dad's old lab. He used to come here all the time. The Shadow's didn't know about it, so he was able to continue research after he quit working for them."

"That's why you lead us here." Arrow pointed out. "So we have an old lab that the Shadow's know nothing about, now what?"

Rose glanced over the computer monitor at him. "Are you really that stupid? Or do you like people spelling out the answers?"

Arrow said nothing, just stared at her.

She turned her attention back to the monitor. "Cheshire said that the Shadow's used my dad's research to make those guys practically indestructible. If I'm right, what they used is an upgraded version of the same experiment I let Dad perform on me to give me my super-human like strength."

Arrow walked over and stood behind her. "So if you go through your dad's research, you can find a way to reverse it?"

Rose sighed, and rested her cheek against a fist she made with her left hand. "It's highly unlikely that dad would have a way to reverse it. Even if he did, the Shadow's probably made some major upgrades to dad's original design." She typed in a command with her right hand, which brought up a screen of research. "Most of dad's notes are back at the apartment anyway. If we even wanted to find a way to reverse the effects of the experiment, we'd have to have all of the research."

Arrow pointed to the screen. "Well what's this?"

"It's the original notes from the strength experiment. Dad kept making improvements to the design. So I don't know what notes the Shadow's have." Rose sighed and leaned back in her chair. "We'd need KF and possibly Robin to help us figure this out. KF is a wiz at Science, and Robin's tech savvy."

Arrow stared at her curiously. "Can't you try something? It is your dad's research after all."

"I'm not my dad, or a genius. It would probably take me years to even attempt to understand all of this." Rose stared at Arrow. "Maybe we should contact the cave, see if we can get Robin out here."

Arrow put a hand on her shoulder. "I'm sure you can do this. Just see if you can find something to help us defeat them, preferably before I run out of arrows."

Rose rolled her eyes, pushing his hand off her shoulder. "Fine, I'll give it a shot."

"I'll watch the perimeter."

Rose watched as Arrow walked over to one of the windows, staring out of it with an arrow loaded in his bow.

She sighed and glanced at the computer.

Placing both hands on the keyboard, she began searching through her father's notes.

Please, please help me dad. I don't understand any of this, and I have to find a way to get us out of this mess.
