Gah, my head is killing me. Dx

But here's the next chapter, enjoy. I don't own Young Justice or any of the characters used in this story and/or chapter.

Oh, and can I just say... MUAHAHAHAHA! ;D


"Don't move."

When the words left his mouth both girls froze. They looked at each other alarmed by the sudden command delivered by the redhead.

Finally, it was the raven haired girl who spoke up. "What is it?" She quickly asked, expecting some horrible answer.

He simply pointed at the ground and crouched down to inspect the soil. As he ran a hand through it the two girls complained loudly.

"You made us stop for some dirt?!" The dark skinned girl demanded angrily.

"The trail goes cold from here." He explained in a gruff voice, annoyance lacing his tone.

"That's impossible." The magician muttered softly to herself, glancing around for an unfound explanation. The other girl just stood immobile, her arms crossed over her chest as she waited for them to reach the conclusion she'd already come to.

Their ran from the location as the ground beneath them began to shake and the redhead glanced over at the magician girl. "Zatanna!"

She raised her hands to the air, speaking words that neither of them understood. "Dleihs su morf lla seye!"

They immediately went for cover, hiding behind the trees that surrounded them. The darkness would work in their favor. Just as they finished concealing themselves, something from below rose up and the ground they had stood on only seconds earlier was replaced by a metal pathway connecting to something much deeper below.

Before they could process it all, the dark skinned girl flew up and went after the people that were exiting out the tunnel. She trapped a couple of them in inertia-less bubbles and successfully knocked them out before flying down to the ground. The redhead shot an arrow past her and took out one of the others while the magician girl spoke up. "Dinb meht lla!"

They watched as the remaining men were suddenly on the ground, ropes tightly holding them in place. "Good job, Zatanna." The other girl commented, placing her hands on her hips.

Zatanna smiled at her. "Thanks, Rocket."

"The job's not over, keep moving." The redhead archer snapped as he rushed into the tunnel and the two girls glanced at each other quickly before following. They were surprised that the tunnel wasn't at all dark; lights hanging on both walls illuminated the enclosed space bellow the earth.

Rocket looked around with a frown but said nothing as they continued down the path. She glanced at Zatanna who seemed to not be paying attention at the walls and instead looked ahead – just like Red Arrow, she seemed focused on the mission. Raquel stopped in her tracks as a creaking sound made its way to her ears. "Did you guys hear that?" She asked hesitantly, glancing around rapidly.

The other two turned to her, Zatanna arched her eyebrows in confusion. "What?"

Raquel glanced over at Roy who obviously seemed not amused and she decided it was best not to anger the archer… again. She shrugged her shoulders. "Nothing, I just thoug-" Her words were cut off as something behind her slammed shut and closed off any possible option for an escape the way they had previously come.

Roy's eyes widened as he looked around, his panic beginning to show through his actions. His eyes landed on both girls and he only spoke one word. "Run."

They wasted no time in doing so as they all rushed to find a way out, realizing that by now they were caught. Rocket took off in the air, flying in front of them. As she continued to fly, she was stopped as another wall fell from the ceiling and blocked her path. She banged her fists against the wall and turned to see the other two coming close. As they came a few feet nearer, she saw some type of thick metal cord fly out of nowhere and wrap around the archer's foot. "Speedy!" She called out in anguish as she tried to rush to help him as he was quickly dragged away. Zatanna's eyes widened as a similar contraption coiled her by the waist and another covered her mouth, keeping her from speaking any of her incantations. "Zatanna!" Raquel watched in horror as she too started to be taken away in the opposite direction.

Once again, Rocket rushed to help before another wall came falling from above and she was stuck on one side, completely useless while her friends were being captured by the enemy. She pounded on the walls again and again, never slowing down or giving up in her attempt to escape.

"Rocket!" She heard Roy's voice scream from the other side and her eyes widened as she tried to use the powers from her inertia belt to escape.

"RA?! Red Arrow!" She called out loudly, still being unsuccessful in her attempt to escape. She heard him calling out to her again and focused all of her energy on breaking out. As the walls opened up beside her, she took no notice until there was a shock running through her body, excruciating as it mixed with the energy of her inertia belt. Raquel screamed out in anguish as she fell to her knees in pain, gritting her teeth to try to keep out from screaming again. She couldn't help it, as the pain and the electricity continued to run through her body she let out a heart wrenching shriek that echoed in the enclosed space.

The dark skinned girl could hear her male companion still calling out from the other side, his voice becoming more frantic as he heard her cries – her voice engulfed in the pain she felt. She couldn't control her body anymore; as the current of electricity began to lose power and completely shut off, the pain became a numbing sensation all over her body and she fell to her side.

Rocket could still hear Red Arrow's screams and pleas for her to stay awake before her eyes slowly began to shut and peaceful slumber overtook her, exhaustion winning over the will she had that told her to remain conscious.


Is this considered a cliffhanger? If it is…. ;D
