Meanwhile, M'Gann was trying to gain psychic contact with Artemis. "Artemis where are you?" asked M'Gann. Though very faint, Artemis returned the message she replied, "At Pier 27 by the docks…there is a secret passageway." Superboy couldn't hear the conversation since it was an internal one. Once M'Gann finished talking she was shocked….How did she know where she was when she can't even see? Is this a trap?

"What did she say?" asked Superboy, "wait…she's blind right?" M'Gann started stuttering saying, "Pi…er…27…by..the do-o-ocks." Superboy stared in wonder but followed her orders. They went to the docks and hid behind boxes. Superboy called Aqualad, Robin, and Wally. While Aqualad and Robin came with their cycles, Kid Flash ran straight to the location on foot. They reunited and hid near the base.

Aqualad signaled Miss Martian and Robin to go in while the rest of them would fight off the guards in front of the door. Wally protested persistently but Aqualad made his answer clear. Aqualad did Manuever 7 with Superboy and ambushed the soldiers from above. Wally ran from behind and slammed into the guards. Once they finished the guards at the entrance, they headed straight inside.

As the others just entered in, Miss Martian was in camouflage mode and Robin was right behind her. They scurried along the hallways of the secret database. As they passed along the doors, they witnessed torture rooms that were empty….except one….They hid behind the door and saw Artemis…Her hands were tied up and the rope was attached to the ceiling. Her face was almost unrecognized from the blood. Right when Robin was about to go in, Miss Martian held him back.

Telepathically they were talking. Robin, it's probably a trap..stay put. Miss Martian, Artemis can die any minute..look at her..!

Miss Martian replied, "Robin…I think I need to tell you something…Art.. Their telepathic conversation was interrupted by a loud scream and a laugh. Sportsmaster was in the room now and was interrogating Artemis.

"What stings the most, huh? That your team can't trust you? That you are just a replacement for Roy Harper?…Or do you regret not being able to see that fast boyfriend of yours?" mocked Sportsmaster. Artemis chuckled that even Sportsmaster was surprised.

"Not bad…dad. Since when did your torture methods get weaker? You used to do far worse than this! Ha! I won't say a thing you son of a bi…." Artemis stated before she was punched in the face. Miss Martian just stared in surprise as Robin charged in. He threw a birdarang at Sportsmaster's face and unfortunately he dodged it. Once Miss Martian woke up from her surprise, she released Artemis and lifted her in the sky towards her. But then, she was ambushed by Chesire and dropped Artemis to the ground. Artemis tried to get up, but couldn't…

Miss Martian mentally took Chesire's swords and reversed the direction of its blade toward Chesire and pinned her down. Robin took a smoke bomb and fogged the room. Sportsmaster coughed and eventually blacked out. Just then, Wally and the rest came in to view the scene.

Wally held Artemis and started shaking her. "Why did you lie to me? Were you that scared? Didn't you learn from last time?" demanded Wally. Though she felt hurt for his words, that wasn't important to her. His life was more important for Sportsmaster started to wake up. It was as if time had stopped. Before Wally could react, Artemis pushed him away with all of her might as Sportsmaster took out a sonic-bullet gun. Everyone heard a loud bang! It was like the shot that was heard around the world.

Wally opened his eyes and looked at his body, there was no blood. He then turned his head to the right and saw Artemis gurgling and struggling to breathe. She was shaking everywhere and was pressing onto her gun wound. It hit right at her rib. He went up and ran to her side. He held her hand. Sportsmaster managed to get away and pressed on a self-destruction button before he did.

Aqualad panicked and told the others to leave the building for there was only 5 minutes left. "Kid Flash, hurry up. You must leave her," Aqualad yelled. Wally shook his head no. "Baywatch,,,I'm so sorry I lied…but I have…to..have to…tell..you….." and Artemis couldn't finish that sentence but ended it with her last breath. Wally screamed and yelled, there was 4 minutes left. Hesitantly, Aqualad had no choice but to knock him out. He put him on his shoulder and ran out..Before he did, he took one last look at Artemis..he bowed and then ran for his life.

6 Hours Later:

"Artemis!," panted Wally. He then sighed of relief when he saw the others. "I had this dream that Artemis died while protecting me like some melodrama and…." He stopped. It wasn't a dream..it was real. Artemis is forever gone and she will not return ever again.

Miss Martian was holding his hand, Superboy was holding her hand, and Robin was discussing something with Aqualad. Robin then walked toward Wally, "You're alive kid! Thank god!" "Is there even a god?" demanded Wally, "if Artemis is dead, there is no god." Robin's fake smile turned upside down…

"Here..maybe you should read this to us..I didn't read it yet but..I think you should," said Robin. Robin handed him Artemis' diary from Artemis. It said:

Today is February 21, my birthday.. It is not a day worth celebrating…because that day, I was born to a family of monsters. Sportsmaster as my father and Tigress as my mother including my older sister Jade..it was not a day full of happiness. I am sorry I lied to you all…Having criminal DNA did not make me the best candidate to be a Young Justice member…I thought none of you would accept me and so..yea I tried to throw a pity party alright? At least it was a party of some sort, not like those birthday parties a teen would have. When we were back in the forest, Sportsmaster offered to accept me..as his daughter again..I hated him..but someone made me realized how lucky I was to even have a family. I never lied that I was blind…I am blind…of not being able to see the people who cared about me..especially Wally…

Superboy held Miss Martian in his arms. Robin tried to do his laugh at her family comment, but it ultimately turned into a muffled cry. Aqualad let down a tear down his cheek. Wally…he didn't cry..he couldn't cry..it was too much to handle.

"I didn't even know it was her birthday..that day..and her own father murdered her..she died because of me…" stuttered Wally. He closed the book and held it to his chest. "You were blind when you're eyes weren't closed..but now, you're eyes are closed forever and you saw us…." cried Wally.

He then…saw the last part of the note…When I die, I want to donate my eyes…to a blind archer who can use these eyes to save the world…..Artemis..
