Robin's eyes widen and he opens his mouth about to speak before Wally jumps in. "Why should we believe you? From where I'm standing you just seem like some crazy…"

He trails off as I grip tightly onto my knives, then Kaldur takes charge. "Why would you divulge this information? What have you got to gain?"

I shrug. "Lets just say that I'll have a clear conscience."

Robin narrows his eyes. "This is just too…odd. We were fighting against you just a few hours ago, and now you're here warning us?"

His tone of voice irritates me. "Yeah, I'm warning you." I snap. "You can either listen to me and survive, or ignore me and die."

He walks closer to peer at me suspiciously, and the proximity causes me to blush. "I don't believe you for one second."

Superboy raises an eyebrow. "Why has your heart rate increased?"

I tense up. "Listen, I couldn't care less if you were all to drop dead this second – I just don't want blood on my hands. Working with the Joker, I have enough of that already."

Robin freezes. "You work with the Joker?! Are you mad? Or just plain stupid?"

"Nice." I snap. "Insult the girl who's saving your ass." I grind my teeth. "Look, I'm risking my life to warn you idiots, so if you don't stay alive I'll be majorly pissed." I turn around ready to leave. I've done all I can - whether they believe me now is their choice.

All I know now is that I'll have to lay low. The Joker will be after me for sure.

Kaldurs face gives way to a grim determination. "You may not leave. Although you have willingly given us what may or may not be helpful information, you must still be imprisoned for the possession and transport of illegal technology."

I raise a curious eyebrow. "Is this how you thank me?" I'm met with silence. "I wonder what its like when you're ungrateful." I mutter.

Superboy attempts to grip onto my neck again but I jump out of the way, glaring at him. "Don't even try it hulk. I can crush each and every one of your bones with just one move." I bluff.

Artemis snorts. "You don't scare us Goth girl."

Wally rubs the back of his head, muttering. "Speak for yourself."

M'gaans eyes glow green, slamming me against the wall. I act immediately, unsheathing a knife and throwing it at her forehead to keep up the act, fully aware of her ability to stop it with her telekinesis. I watch, a slight wave of horror prickling me as I realise that M'gaan is still focusing all her energy to keep me pinned to the wall - she won't catch the knife.

I clench my teeth in anguish, and just as the tip presses against her flesh a blur of yellow catches it. I hide my relief and smile to myself… Wally actually did something right. The sudden appearance of KF inches from M'gaans face causes her to loose concentration. Her eyes dim and I drop onto the floor, instantly sprinting out of the way of Superboys wild fists. The team advance on me and I roll my eyes. "Do you amateurs really want to fight again? I have to say, its getting pretty boring."

Robins the first to advance, he throws a fist my way, following through with a spinning kick. "We never fought you the last time. You just blocked and dodged everything."

I flip out of the way of his next blow, only to be hit by Wally. I fall onto the floor and roll into a crouched position. "Kinda like what she's doing now." He observes, turning to Robin.

Then he raises an eyebrow and speeds towards me. "You scared to fight or something?" He asks; curiosity peaked.

My eyes widen behind my red mask, and my anger rises. I'm not scared. The negative feelings boil within me, and I withdraw my second knife. I wait for Wally to run closer, and just as he's about to hit me, I raise my knife. Unable to stop his forward motion, he skids at high speed towards the point. I catch him just as the knife presses between his eyes. "Who's scared now?" I whisper, digging it a little deeper as a mad anger comes over me. "Who's scared now?!" I scream into his face.

The teammates halt in their advances, momentarily shocked by the outburst. I frown, and tighten my grip on the knife. M'gaans eyes glow green, but I continue with my concentration on Wally.

M'gaan speaks out. "Don't move Wally, in her state of...ferociousness, it would not take much to push her over the edge. She will kill you."

Those words ring out as a heavy silence shrouds the room. My grip on Wally tightens, but my eyes flick up to M'gaan. "You're wrong. You're so wrong. I have more control than that." My hands shake slightly as I glance at Wally's pale face, leaning down, I whisper into his ear. "You won't die by my hand."

He grins, his usually stupid personality being put on display. "Its because you like me right?" He sighs dramatically as if burdened. "I'm like a magnet for the babes, they just can't resist my masculine charms."

I give him a withering look and push him away from me. "Masculine charms? Who are you trying to fool?"

He gets up and wiggles his eyebrows. "I notice you never denied the part about liking me."

I turn away, watching as Artemis notches an arrow from the corner of the room. The annoying red-head was trying to distract me. I smile; two can play at that game. Walking up to Wally I smile at him softly and force myself to say the next sentence, nearly choking on my lying words. "I think you're...so...c...cute, and brave. I just really want to get to know you."

I glance at Artemis from the corner of my eye and notice that she has frozen half way through notching her bow. Wally's face has turned beet red and I smirk triumphantly knocking him out with a kick to the face.

Picking up his unconscious form I hold a knife to his neck. "Right. Let me leave peacefully, or I'll kill him."

Robin gives me a curious look. "Anyone can see that you don't plan to harm him because you would have done it before."

M'gaan nods in agreement her eyes glowing green. "Yes. There is an intense feeling of calm emanating from you."

I roll my eyes and drop Wally. "Whatever, I didn't actually expect you to fall for that anyway."

They put up a fighting stance again, ready to attack. I sigh wearily. "I'm not doing this; I'm done humouring you. "

Robin clenches his teeth. "Humouring us?! Who the hell do you think you are? Its five against one – you don't stand a chance."

I raise an eyebrow and begin walking towards the zeta beams exit, an undertone of steel to my words. "Its five sheltered weaklings against one bloodied warrior - I don't really see the challenge."

Robin snorts. "Someone has a superiority complex."

"And someone needs to get one." I sneer. "Maybe then you wouldn't be satisfied with all your lost battles." I spit, my anger from the past months bubbling up. "Its actually pretty hard to believe your Robin the boy wonder," I say, "I was expecting to meet someone with a backbone."

He charges at me in a fit of anger just as I expected. When we were dating he spoke a lot about the future, about filling Batman's shoes. He always worried that he was never brave enough to be the Dark Knight, and I never agreed with him, not once. I still don't. But there's a part of me, a small angry part, which just wants to tear him apart emotionally. Why should I be the better person when I'm not even the good guy?

I don't stop in my lofty stride towards the zeta tube. Removing a knife, I hit him in the neck with the butt of it, lunging forward to knee him in the stomach as he reels sideways. He collapses to the floor, temporarily paralysed. I show him the butt of my knife and the needle, which sticks out. "Joker gave me this paralysing fluid. I guess even a crazy clown can have his moments."

Just then Kaldur hits me from behind, causing me to go sprawling across the floor. I roll and then stand, jumping high above his next attack and kicking out with both feet. He blocks it and I feign a punch to his family jewels giving him an uppercut as he goes to protect them. He falls down hard.

Superboy growls. "That was a dirty trick."

I shrug. "I never said I fought fair."

He bares his teeth and charges at me, I quickly run at M'gaan, fully aware that I have no chance of defeating Conner without a bargaining chip. I grab her arms and twist it behind her back. Conner, being the stupid ape he is, charges at me anyway. I quickly inject M'gaan with paralysing fluid and trip Conner over, doing the same. They lie on the floor unable to move, but their eyes swivel around capturing every detail.

I look at Artemis as she notches an arrow. "Then there was one." I say in a purposely-creepy voice. She narrows her eyes and notches another two arrows. I shake my head and turn my back on her, walking towards the zeta tube. "Don't waste my time Archer."

Just as I'm about to pass through the threshold of the zeta tube an arrow whizzes within an inch of my ear. "Don't turn your back on me." She warns gripping the bow so tightly her knuckles blanch white.

I smirk and listen hard to the whistling of the air as more arrows come for me. Without turning to face her I dodge each one, weaving between the potentially dangerous points. At the last second I whirl around, grabbing one that would have pierced me straight in the stomach. I look at her as she looks at me, neither one moving. I crush the arrow, allowing the pieces to drop to the floor as I walk through the zeta tube. "An archer as a superhero…please." I snort derisively.
