"Aqualad." The voice stated.
"Red Arrow."
"Bleubell."
"Blue you're supposed to be…"
"At home? Yeah it's a long story. But listen Kaldur we need access to the Justice League's database and the exact heights on the Shadows two assassin known as Rojo and Cheshire."
"Checking…Rojo is 1.83 meters and Cheshire is 1.67 meters."
"Kal I'm not good at math. You know this." Blue told him.
"He is sixth foot and he is five, six."
"Thank you!"
"They're both exceptionally dangerous do you require back-up?"
"Please the last thing I need is the rest of the Junior Justice League."
"Uh I? We! And I'll try not to take offense to the rest of that comment Arrow." Blue muttered.
"So you don't want us just our computer." Kaldur said.
"I'm rubbing off on you Kaldur." Blue said.
"And you have explaining to do when you get back. Aren't you supposed to be going to school with M'gann and Superboy?"
"Oh please Red Arrow's a legal adult. And school and I don't mix. There's a reason I study alone."
"Will you two keep this conversation for when you're alone?" Red Arrow cut in.
"Fine." Blue stated.
"Blue I think I got something rotate twenty degrees clockwise."
She did. A Vietnamese woman, a vendor and a man looking at one of the magazines.
Perfect matches.
"I got 'em."
"Good luck my friends."
Red Arrow assembled his bow and the car carrying the arbitrator rounded the corner.
"Ready?"
"Ready."
The two heroes looked up, Rojo and Cheshire stood on top of the stall, they'd removed the coats that blocked their gears and put on their masks.
Cheshire aimed an RPG while Rojo aimed a rifle probably for the guards.
An arrow ripped through the air knocking the thing sky high as it shot into the air.
The rifle glowed blue and flew out of Rojo's hands across the street and into the bushes of the park across the road.
People panicked when they heard the shot and started to run.
The security belonging to the leaders of Rhelasia's guns came out as the people scattered.
The two assassins spilt up knocking out a few guards as they engaged their new targets.
Red Arrow and Bleubell.
They tackled each of then and the four rolled around fighting until the two heroes through the fight.
The assassins were on top of them and found guns pointed at their heads from all angles.
Of course there was an annoying reporter as well gushing about the attempted assassination attempt and how 'thankfully' no one was hurt including the mystery arbitrator….
The two heroes stared as he stepped out just as Red Arrow helped Blue up.
"Lex Luthor?"
They watched the two assassins be put into police cars and driven away.
But they were also in handcuffs.
Police in Taipei really didn't understand the meaning of hero.
A lady came off the phone and nodded. "We have conformation this one is Green Arrow's pal and the girl is Bleu Illusion's girl. Speedy and Bluebird…"
"It's Red Arrow now."
"And it's Bleubell. It's always been Bleubell. Get your people to get it right." The twelve year old snapped.
"They must be questioned!" The police captain protested.
"Lex Luthor vouches for them captain. Release the sidekicks."
"Ex-sidekick." Red Arrow spat as he was released.
They turned to release Blue. "Don't bother." She stated and her eyes flashed from behind her glasses, the cuffs opened and were about to fall when she caught them and handed them to a police officer. "Those things can't hold someone like me for shit." She replied.
"We don't need any favours from you." Red Arrow told Luthor.
Wait did he say we? Blue thought. Well….I guess it's nice he's acknowledging the fact I'm here.
"Apologizes. I didn't realise you wished to join you're friends behind bars." Luthor replied.
"You may have everyone here fooled Luthor…but…." Red Arrow smirked.
"We know exactly what you are." Blue interrupted.
"Oh come now darling…" He smiled at Blue that made her raise an eyebrow. "I don't pretend to be an angel it just so happens that this time I'm on the side of the angels." He stated slowly like he was talking to a bunch of five year olds.
He walked in and they followed.
"It seems not that Lex Luthor maybe the best or only hope for peace…" The news reporter was saying.
"Why should anybody trust you?" Blue asked.
"Because LexCorp is a company founded on peaceful enterprise for all humanity."
"Don't. Talk. Down to me." Blue said gritting her teeth.
"Cut the act Luthor I've got Intel saying that LexCorp is linked to the selling of weapons to both Relasian countries. You're profiting off this war. So what's your angle?"
"War income is pocket change compared to the billons to be made investing in a peace war that united Rhelasia and isn't it better to have peace? Even if that scoundrel Lex Luthor profits from it?"
"That scoundrel may not survive to profit from it. Cheshire and Rojo failed but the League of Shadows won't stop until the contract is fulfilled."
"Which does beg the question who hired the League?"
"And were you really the target." Blue stated in her calmest voice looking up at the Relasian leaders. "Or was your death a convenient way to sabotage the summit?"
"Allow me to hire you two to find out."
"You're money has blood on it." Red Arrow said. "And we're not here to make a buck." He snapped.
Luthor laughed. "So you'll provide your services? But for free? I can live with that. Red Arrow, Bleubell…now if you'll excuse me. I have a hemisphere to save." He started up the stairs.
"Can I make his pants fall down?" Blue asked not in the joking manner Wally would have but she said it as a calm genuine question.
He looked down at her.
"What?" She defended herself.
They started out of the building and towards the hotel they were staying in to change.
"So. The real reason you agreed to this was because you'd miss school?"
"You or double maths with my temper and impatience. I'd choose you any day. Besides you cannot say we're not a good team."
He huffed but gave the tiniest smirk. "You're annoying."
"Annoyingly adorable." She smiled.
"Whatever you say Bleubell."
"Call me Blue." She replied.
Mount Justice.
September 7, 06:41.
"Where's Blue? Isn't she supposed to come with us as well?" Superboy asked Martian Manhunter, Kaldur and Red Tornado.
"Blue is….in Rhelasia with Red Arrow."
"What? I thought…"
"She went home? So did I….instead she helped stop an assassination attempt." Kaldur said.
"Is she even allowed…?"
"Probably not."
"No." Martian Manhunter shook his head.
"Great we got a runaway manipulator on our hands."
Taipei
September 7, 20:25.
They stood outside the cell that held Cheshire and Rojo.
Cheshire smiled. "Aren't you going to ask us anything?"
Rojo leaned against the wall eyes ahead.
"I think you know what we're after."
"Nada que añadir? Nada en absoluto?" (Nothing to add? Nothing at all) Blue asked Rojo who looked at her.
No, he glared at her, dark eyes burning into her skull.
"No tengo nada que decirte Bleubell." (I have nothing to say to you Bleubell) He shot back.
"Who hired you?" Red Arrow asked the female assassin.
"Shadows."
"Who hired them?"
"I don't ask." She winked.
"What's the end game? The peace summit? Or Luthor himself."
"Two birds. One stone." She told him. "Hey where are you're little sidekick friends? Oh well besides the baby of the group right there…they're always fun to play with especially Arte- archery girl. I like her."
"She- they aren't in my league."
"And the baby of the group is?" She purred.
He didn't answer.
"Él sólo le insultó." (He just insulted you) Rojo said.
"No me importa lo que ... es como que ... Pero por favor Rojo ¿Qué te pasó?" She asked him urgently stepping closer to the cell holding one of the bars with one hand. (I don't care he's just...he's like that...but please Rojo what happened to you?)
"Usted pasó Azul! Usted hizo esto! Me fuerzan demasiado ..." He snarled flinging himself at the bars. (You happened Azul! You did this! You forced me too...)
She snarled too. "No me llames Azul." (Don't call me Azul.)
"Hazme." (Make me.) He whispered moving his face closer to hers.
"You think you're in mine?" Cheshire asked pulling Red Arrow closer to the bars of the cell and to him.
"Where's Green Arrow when you really need him?"
"I. Don't."
"Sure about that?" She asked and then ducked holding onto the bars as Rojo did the same.
"Uh no…" Red Arrow stated stepping back.
Boom.
Red Arrow covered his face and fell back waiting for the blast to hit him.
It never did.
He looked up a bubble almost of blue power blocked them from the blast as the smoke cleared outside it.
Blue was in front of him hand up blocking them.
"Bleubell…."
"Not in your League am I?" She replied as the dust cleared.
"Bleubell."
"Let's go." She told him running out the door and he sighed following her out the door and up the steps toward the roof.
Red Arrow shot a rope arrow across the two roofs in order to zip-line down across it to follow the three villains, Cheshire, Rojo and now Sportsmaster who were running on top of buildings.
Both he and Blue took the zip-line.
"I admire persistence." Cheshire shouted throwing a shuriken to cut the rope.
The two heroes even followed them onto the helicopter waiting for them by hanging onto another rope tied to it.
Though that did get cut causing the two to free fall and Red Arrow to shoot a foam arrow in order to create a landing spot.
He took out a tracking device.
The arrowhead still stuck in the hull of the helicopter had a tracker.
"Let's follow it then." Blue told him shortly and they took off.
-SHADOWS HEADQUARTERS-
They spied on Ra's al Ghul as he berated Rojo and Cheshire for their failure never speaking to Sportsmaster.
"So I expect a better outcome." He said. "And less interference from those two." He finished staring up at the two heroes.
"Perfect." The stood on top of the entrance and Red Arrow shot another arrow that was blocked by Cheshire.
They hit the rooftops.
The older two assassins (Cheshire and Red Arrow) began their own fight that was slightly more graceful then the fast and hard styling of Rojo and Blue.
Blue thanked guard her wrist guards didn't break because the amount of times she blocked an expertly placed dagger trying to cut something was immense.
She used her ability to throw him back but for some reason couldn't control him.
Like at all…
Why couldn't she…?
She ducked again.
She ran flipping out of the way from more weapons of Rojo's.
Out of the corner of her eye she saw Sportsmaster throw a discus at Red Arrow which she made miss him…
But in her panic it flew at her and grazed her cheek causing a cut.
Red looked at her for the barest minute and another was thrown. He got the bow up in time but it was broken.
They cornered the two heroes against the ledge of the roof; the drop was at least thirty feet into a river.
"I hear you go by Red Arrow now." Sportsmaster said. "Heh more like…Broken Arrow."
Red went ridged for a minute.
"Red Arrow?" Blue asked slowly.
Nothing.
Sportsmaster threw a javelin and they jumped off the roof diving into the water below barely escaping the blast from that javelin when they hit the water.
He threw another in after them.
Blue swam desperately and got behind Red Arrow wrapping her arms around his neck and her legs around his waist like you would going for a piggy back and tried to ignore his quiver. She created a bubble to protect them as the other javelin exploded.
They immerged down stream with Blue pulling Red Arrow out struggling a bit under his weight.
They both gasped for breath.
Red Arrow sighed as he looked at the girl who had become his partner for this mission. He hit his communicator and turned it on. "It's me…I may possibly… well we may possibly….be in over our heads."
-LEX LUTHOR'S HOTEL ROOM-
"The League of Shadows wants you dead." Red Arrow stated.
"Doesn't every league?" Luthor smirked.
"It's not just Sportsmaster, its Cheshire, Rojo and Ra's al Ghul himself." Blue said.
"I can't say I'm surprised. Ra's is somewhat a competitor of mine."
"Then maybe we should stand aside and watch you take each other out." Blue asked him.
"You're stab at pragmatism is well adorable."
One of his crystal wine glasses shattered as her eyes flashed. "Say it again." She said. "I dare you."
He chuckled. "The summit and the peace are at stake. Remember? We'll increase security."
"Yes because the extensive amount of security you had the last time worked well didn't it?" Blue asked.
"Though if the Shadow thinks your dead. Maybe we can surprise them."
"We've got a better surprise." Blue said.
-PEACE SUMMIT-
They stood behind the two leaders who had saw Lex Luthor in the middle arms folded completely silent.
"….like the Relasian tea ceremony…" Lex Luthor began as a woman dressed in authentic Relasian dress her hair and make-up done in the traditional way walked in pushing a trolley with the tea on it.
She was followed by a male also in traditional gear carrying the treats that usually went with said tea.
Kaldur turned around. "That is far enough. Cheshire. Rojo."
Gasps broke through the air.
Red Arrow drew his bow and Blue's hood went up.
Cheshire smirked and pushed the trolley at Kaldur who's Water Bearers came out.
Red Arrow set his bow down briefly and threw Blue who flipped and landed in front of everyone her eyes turned blue protecting the people with Kaldur backing her up with his Water Bearers.
Boom.
The bomb went off.
When the smoke cleared Blue had more then one cut on her face from the discus, she now gained two more small straight cuts on her right cheek.
Cheshire and Rojo stood up.
"It's over." Red Arrow stated.
"You would think so."
A helicopter came into view behind them carrying Sportsmaster.
"Take Sportsmaster. We'll handle these two." Blue told Kaldur.
"Cheshire's mine." Red Arrow.
"So territorial and only our third date."
The fight began.
"You called one of your little sidekick friends. But didn't you tell me they weren't in your League…oh I know! Shorty over there did it didn't she?"
Now Blue was pissed up this time fighting Rojo and okay maybe she did take a little pleasure knocking him into walls and kicking him where it counts.
"Nice try lad. Better then you're team did in Santa Prisca. Or Bialya."
"How did…?" Aqualad began.
"I've an inside source….very inside."
Red Arrow was on top of one of the fallen statues and Blue landed beside him.
"Aqualad let's end this!" He shouted and took out one of the water sprinklers causing water to rain on them and Aqualad to use his magic thanks to a fresh water supply.
But things were never that easy as the three villains were able to escape because of one of Cheshire's smoke bombs.
One more assassin went flying at the two Relasian leaders.
"Mercy." Luthor stated and his assistant…
Okay she had a cybernetic arm? You kidding me?
Dude really?
Well she shot the assassin which resulted in Luthor getting thanked and not the three heroes who had actually done all the work.
"They owe him their lives?" Red Arrow asked.
"That's just offensive." Blue stated shaking her head.
The three headed out.
"I can't believe we just did a solid for Lex Luthor." Red Arrow said.
"Not for Luthor for peace. Beyond that is if Ra's and the League of Shadows wanted to Sabotage the summit, the signing of the treaty renders their contract invalid. It is over." Aqualad said.
"Is it?" Red Arrow asked. "I heard what Sportsmaster said do you really think there's a mole on your team feeding him Intel?"
"I cannot rule out the possibility. We'll investigate. Quietly."
"Not tell them?" Red Arrow asked.
"If this gets out….the Team will doubt each other. See fault and suspicion everything the others do. We've come too far to unravel at the seams like this." Blue said.
"And if there is a mole. I have no reason to tip him or her off." Kaldur nodded.
"Good luck with that." Red Arrow said turning to leave.
"One moment my friend….tonight you could have called Green Arrow for help. Or the Justice League….but you called the Cave." Kaldur said.
"You're right. The Team deserves….has my respect. I'm still getting used to this solo act stuff but if you need me. I'll be there."
The two boys shook hands.
"So I guess we are in your League." Blue said smiling.
He snorted. "Hardly."
"Whatever helps you sleep at night Red." She replied and he gave an almost inaudible chuckle before leaving the two Team members alone.
"So how much trouble am I in when I get home?" She asked Kaldur.
"Actually…Red Tornado doesn't care."
"Cool. I get away with it." She smiled.
"We're still going to talk about it." Kaldur said.
"I'm pretty sure we already explained it."
"No you didn't."
"Yeah I did."
"Bleubell….stop lying."
"How dare you accuse me of such a thing?" She smiled widely. "I'd never do that."
He rolled his eyes. "Let's get you home before you cause more damage."
There we go people!
Review please!
I actually really like this chapter it's one of my favourites so far!
