Roy Harper jumps through the high buildings of Star City. He was meeting with Aqualad, who wanted to discuss something with him, which regarded the attacks the Team faced on separate occasions.
He sees Aqualad as he reaches the meeting point. Both shook hands as they met and started discussing.
"How is Kid Flash and Artemis?" asked Roy.
"Artemis is alright, while Kid Flash and Miss Martian are still in the infirmary, however Kid Flash is recovering but Miss Martian is still unconscious and visibly traumatized by the attack." replied Aqualad.
After being briefed by Aqualad, Red Arrow asked, "So, according to what Artemis, Kid Flash and Robin said, this Girl attacked while using several aliases?"
"That is correct. And based on what the three said she is very skilled and seems to have access to all kinds of special weaponry." replied Aqualad.
"What weaponry?" asked Roy.
"The Girl attack Artemis wearing a suit that resembles a cat, she also had a clawed glove with her. And Wally said that when he was attacked she was wearing a clown dress and used a sonic gun on him. Robin said that when he and Miss Martian are attacked she was using Fear gas against them."
"This girl has been copying the M.O of Batman's criminals."
"Yes she is."
"But why would she do that? Why attack the Team while masquerading as someone connected to Batman's enemies?"
"There is one thing all of Batman's enemies have in common." Said Roy, "they are all crazy."

At the Infirmary of the Cave, Wally wakes up from his sleep. He sees Artemis next to him. She has been taking care of him since he first entered here following his attack.
"How are you feeling now Wally?" asked Artemis.
"Doing better." replied Wally, he looked on to M'gann who was lying on a bed across to him, she was sweating and babbling in Martian. Superboy was next to her, trying to comfort her.
"How long is M'gann gonna be like that?" asked Wally, he was concerned for M'gann, she's been like that for three days.
"Batman has been working on an antidote for her Wally, so don't worry she'll get better soon." Said Artemis reassuringly.
"Thanks Artemis, for…looking after me." He placed his hand over hers.
"You're welcome." She replied.
Robin and Red Tornado entered the Infirmary.
"We got the cure!" shouted Robin, "Quick Red T, come on, inject the cure."
Red Tornado walks toward M'gann and injects the cure on the tube connected to her.
After a few seconds M'gann stopped sweating and was calm.
"Why isn't she waking up?" asked Superboy.
"She is still resting, all the nightmares she had was putting a strain on her mind. She still needs rest." replied Red Tornado.
"Whoever did this to M'gann will pay!" yelled Superboy.

"So I'll be on the lookout on this Girl, and try to find some info about her to-"
A grenade appears next to them. Both Aqualad and Red Arrow reflexively jump as far as they can from it.
The grenade suddenly explodes and sends a shockwave that pushes both heroes to a wall.
Aqualad stood up, he was able to hold back the pain inflicted on him thanks to his Atlantean strength. Red Arrow however was knocked unconscious.
Aqualad turned to see a girl dressed in a purple suit, face covered in white make-up and with hair bleached green. She was also carrying a bag full of grenades and guns.
"Who are you?" growled Aqualad.
"The Joker's Daughter." She replied mockingly.
"How did you find us here?" asked Aqualad, he grabs his water bearers and materializes them into hammers.
"Been stalking you all day long." The Girl pulls out a gun and begins to fire bullets at Aqualad.
Aqualad forms a shield of water which became dense enough to prevent the bullets from penetrating it.
He turns his water shields into whips and tries to strike the girl with it, but she dodges it.
Red Arrow regained consciousness and tried to process what is going on in front of him. He quickly pulls an arrow out of his quiver and aims a taser arrow at her.
The Joker's daughter threw a smokescreen bomb at Red Arrow, lowering his accuracy.
Aqualad sneaks up on her and tries to electrocute her but she uses her question mark cane to hook into his arm and give him a kick in the face.
She jumps back and throws another grenade at him while he is on the floor. It explodes.
Kaldur was pushed back near the edge of the building. His Atlantean body was dense so the explosion didn't tore him up badly. If it weren't for it there would have been a messy bloody puddle on the floor.
As the smokescreen around Red Arrow subsided he saw Aqualad on the floor unconscious. His face plastered with rage, he tries to shoot her again.
However, Joker's daughter was quick. She took out another gun and shot him with a tranquilizer dart.
Red Arrow feels the effects of the tranquilizer but forces himself to stay unconscious.
"Feeling a little drowsy now? But I haven't told you a joke yet!"
She punches him, knocking him out.
"I'll just end this with a punch-line!."
With two guys down at her feet, She activates the distress signal on Aqualad's comlink and drags Red Arrow away from the scene with her.
"Okay that was the dumbest pun I ever said." She saysto herself and disappears from the scene with Red Arrow.

Aqualad was at the infirmary of the Cave. The Team found him unconscious on top of a building at Satr City after receiving the distress call from his comlink.
"Is there anyway at all to find out who is doing this or how to track him down Robin?" asked Artemis frustratingly.
"Apparently she left a trace on purpose. We found this CD on Aqualad."
Robin places the CD on the Cave's computer and the video begins to play.
The video shows the Girl dressed in a green suit embezzled with question-marks. She then says:
"Hello, sidekicks. Bet you received my package. I'm here to tell you that I won't stop my attacks once I bring each and everyone of you down. Oh and just so you're wondering which villain I'm copying now, well I don't have to give you a riddle to figure it out. Anyway since you got this video then I probably have one of your friends here with me now. If you guys want him alive come to the Circus of the Strange at Gotham City. Some or all of you can go get him. But theres a catch, none of your mentors or any of the Justice League should come along, or I swear I'll blow your friends up. Okay have a nice day! "
The Girl ends the video by shooting at the camera.
"She's got Red Arrow!" exclaimed Robin.
"We gotta rescue him!" said Artemis.
"No wait, we have to think this through before we go there." Robin was being cautious.
"We don't have the time!" argued Artemis.
"Artemis is right, we must go there and make her pay!" yelled Superboy.
"Fine then let's suit up!"
