"They beat my trap. A few idiotic teens beat my trap!" The Riddler yelled and slammed his fist onto his desk. He had been keeping track of their progress through the many computer screens in his room and it was not going the way he wanted it to.
He looked over at the wall next to him. It had all the blue prints from the maze on it. "No, it's fine. The next one will get them." He smiled, "Yes and then the Bat will come looking for his little bird."
One of the screens started beeping and he walked over to it. "Hmm, someone's in my old hideout." He pressed a button and Artemis, Superboy, and Miss Martian appeared on the screen. "Time to find out if my new... 'toy' works." His smile grew wide. "Riddle me this, what happens when a crow chaser works with a riddle maker?"
Superboy saw the door slide shut and acted immediately. He jumped up and broke the door open with two punches, but not before some of the gas got into Artemis' lungs. All three of them quickly got out of the room.
"That is not something I want to happen again." Artemis said as she dusted herself off. "Come on let's get back to the bio ship." When she looked back up her friends were gone. "Superboy? Miss Martian?"
"Who?" Someone asked from behind her. Artemis spun around and loaded an arrow. She pointed it at the voice getting ready for anything.
Sportsmaster walked out from the shadows. "Put the bow down kid, or do you want to end up like your friends?" He pointed behind him. Every one of her team mates was lying on the floor dead.
Sportsmaster laughed, "Looks like you have a lot to clean up once the league finds out you killed all their little sidekicks."
Artemis dropped her bow, "But I didn't- you did this!" She yelled at him.
The blond man shook his head and laughed again. "No you did this. Because all those secrets you kept, all your friends are dead."
"Artemis wake up!" Miss Martian said as she tried to shake the archer awake. Once then had gotten out of the room Artemis had passed out without warning.
Superboy looked down at her with concern. "What's wrong with her?"
"I don't know." The martian said and then she tried to get into Artemis's head. Horrible images flew through her mind and she had to back out.
"We need to get her to my uncle J'onn. Now." Miss Martian picked her up and flew out of the building with Superboy not far behind.
Arkham Asylum Three Weeks Ago
Scarecrow sat in his cell hopelessly thinking of ways he was going to get back at Batman. He was so tired of getting locked up in Arkham every time the Bat was around and he was tired of being locked up with all the other 'patients'.
Just as he was about to go to sleep he heard someone talk in the cell next to him. "Riddle me this, what happens when a crow chaser works with a riddle maker?"
Scarecrow glared at the celling. He was really sick of hearing Nigmas riddles every day. "Nothing, no go to sleep Nigma."
"Wrong. The answer is they both get out of Arkham." The Riddler said with a smile. "If you work with me, I can get us both out."
"You can do that? How?" Crane asked hoping the Riddlers idea would work.
"You let me worry about that. All I need from you is some of your fear gas in return. Not all of it, of course, but enough to kill a few people."
He sat up. That's all he wanted. Scarecrow wasn't really one to share but if it meant getting out of Arkham he would do it. "I can get you some, but only after you get us out."
Edward smiled, "Done, I already have it planned." He stuck his hand through the bar of his cell and into Scarecrows. The fear maker shook his hand. "You're lucky Crane; you'll be a free man tomorrow."
