I do not own Young Justice!
IMPORTANT READ!
The episode 'disordered' is a very important Superboy episode that I did not want to touch because it was very hard to add Blue into so we're going onto Secrets, if you do want to see Blue's therapy session I might add it another time.
Mount Justice,
October 31, 19:21
"Since when are Conner and M'gann a couple?"
"Artemis laughed. "Couple no they're not…"
"Uh…yeah they are." Blue said and the blond looked again before her eyes narrowed and the girl who'd been dressed as a vampire stormed away.
"I'm sorry!" Zatanna who'd finally been left out of the house said. "It just seems so obvious and wait the dance!"
Artemis sighed. "Not in the mood, course sitting at home with my mom doesn't sound any more appealing…"
"Well there is another option! Egnahc sehtolc otni ruo smrofinu!" Zatanna ordered and all the two girl's costumes turned into their uniforms like Blue already clad as Bleu bell just stood there. "Girls night out?"
Artemis grinned and nodded. "What about you Blue?"
She groaned, "That sounds awesome but I really shouldn't….I'm supposed to be doing…."
"Come on Blue! We can have some girl time! Single girl time!" Zatanna said.
Blue could practically feel Robin and Kaldur burning holes into her back.
She shook her head. "I'm gonna get killed but I'm in."
"Yes!"
Manhattan,
October 31, 19:57.
The painting lighted up and through the zeta-beam the girls zoomed out on their bikes.
I'm so dead when the boys find out…. Blue thought but revved her engine as Zatanna called them over the com to race.
They slowed to a stop outside a history museum. "Whatever happened here is over." Artemis sighed. "I want some action."
"But maybe you need to talk, about Conner and M'gann or whatever…"
Artemis sped away.
"She isn't the talking type." Blue said.
"I'm starting to see that."
They drove off as well.
Their first run-in with crime was some dude trying to mug a couple which Zatanna spelled the gun to burn in his hand causing him to drop it and clutch his burnt hand before Artemis shook him into the wall as they drove by.
"Paging NYPD." Blue said clicking a button on her bike that sent a signal to the closet police station.
They didn't even have to stop.
The next little stop on their girl's night out was at a robbery of a store Blue's hand shot out from her bike which since she couldn't drive it, was on auto-pilot, (thank you Conner.)
Her eyes flashed and one robber flew back into the other and the both of them were flung into the wall of the building.
This was quickly becoming an awesome birthday; even if she was probably going to catch hell when she gets home.
They got off their bikes in the park where four guys were about to jump a late-night jogger.
"Etativel reh!" Zatanna ordered and the girl was slowly levitated up as Artemis Blue fought with (okay beat up) the four guys.
When that was done with they smiled at each other.
"Okay I'm gonna say it, we're awesome. Best thirteenth birthday ever!"
"It's your birthday!" Zatanna grinned and Artemis smiled too.
"Yeah, finally thirteen. Catching up on Rob!"
They smiled too and started to walk. "I can't believe you never told us! We could have had a party!" Zatanna told her.
"Yeah, at the Cave." Artemis agreed.
"Oh, I don't a fuss, besides I've never had a birthday party."
"Never had a- Blue you shock me." Zatanna smiled.
She giggled. "How about we talk about how badly Artemis knocked her too guys around, there were easier ways to take them."
"They had it coming!" The archer defended herself as they crossed the road to get to their bikes. "No harm done!"
Boom.
All three bikes blew up in front of them causing the three to shield their faces.
"Seriously?" Blue asked. "That's my second bike in like two months to get trashed."
Out of the smoke and flames came a figure. "…No indeed, Harm is not done. Much Harm left to do."
Blue stared at this guy. 'Best birthday? I had to fucking jinx it didn't I?'
"You can't escape Harm." He said walking towards them slowly carrying a sword.
"Escaping isn't on the menu!" Artemis told him shooting an arrow which was deflected.
"Arrows do not impress." He told them.
"Fine." Zatanna said standing up. "Teah taht s'nopaew letam!" It didn't work.
"Magic does not work, both need to do better." He told them.
Blue stood up. "Okay…" She closed her eyes and opened them again she forced on the sword, praying for it to burn his hand like the pistol had done to the mugger from before.
It glowed and smoked a bit but the man just stared at her. "Clever but it seems it has not worked."
Her eyes returned to normal.
"You must go better," He smiled weirdly "Or must suffer Harm."
"We get it." Artemis told him not dropping her bow. "You're name is Harm."
"They're ridiculous garb and rudimentary skills indicate study from Green Arrow, Bleu Illusion and Zatara. Harm will study these three to learn methods for killing their mentors." He pointed the sword at them.
"Oh you did not just threaten my dad!" Zatanna narrowed her eyes. "Etativel drows ot em!"
"You want Harm's sword! Very well!" He flung it at her.
Blue pulled the magician out of the way and the sword embedded itself in the wall of the building behind them.
Big mistake Harmster!" Artemis shouted shooting two arrows at him both of which he caught and through back at them and they exploded on impact.
Zatanna saw a girl around the corner beckoning them. "On second thought, running." She said.
"Yeah! To regroup." Artemis said running toward the three.
"We need to get us some time." Blue said.
"Double team?" Zatanna asked.
"Absolutely."
"Erif nrub, nordlauc elbbub!" She shouted and the fire raged higher blocking their view of Harm.
"Explode!" Blue shouted eyes glowing wildly as the windows on the street blew out and glass rained down before they turned and ran.
"Nicely done Zee." Artemis said.
"Something I've been practising since Red Volcano." She said.
"What? Was I just there?" Blue asked joking.
"Oh come on, I know the destruction you can cause, I've seen what you and Robin have done to Wall- hey who's that?" Artemis asked pointing at a girl in front of them using her hand to beckon them her way.
"Do you really care right now?" Zatanna asked.
"No!" They turned the corner.
"Dead end! We're trapped." Artemis said angrily. "Where'd she go?"
The fire escape's ladder fell down beside them and they looked up, the girl was waving at them from the top.
"I like her already." Zatanna said as they went up the ladder and pulled them up onto the roof when they reached it.
"Thanks for the assist but who are you?" Zatanna asked the girl.
"Secret." She said.
"That won't cut it, we need answers, do you know Harm does he have any weaknesses?" Artemis asked.
"Secret!" The girl said earnestly and pointed.
They turned and Harm jumped onto the roof.
"At least they make the hunt interesting." He said swiping his retrieved sword this way and that.
"He's fast I'll give him that." Artemis said.
"Then we'll have to slow him down." Blue said kneeling down and pressing her hands to the floor, eyes flashed and the stone cracked and broke underneath then stretching out to Harm who jumped back a few steps, then another, then another, then another….
Artemis shot a whole in the water container on top of the roof and Zatanna spelled it out.
"Dloc dniw wolb! Dloc dniw wolb! Dloc dniw wolb!" Zatanna shouted as the water came down on Harm and froze around him and on the uneven ground of the roof.
For all of two seconds, his sword glowed brightly and the ice cracked and then broke entirely as he stood up and pointed it at the water container that blew up making the heroes run from the debris.
"Where'd Miss Secret go?" Artemis asked as they ran.
"Next roof over." Blue told her.
"Okay, these boots adorable but for a chase sequence…" Zatanna said as they jumped. "Lacitcarp raewtoof won!"
They were free falling through the air and Harm leapt after them.
They landed on another roof and Artemis went to shoot but he threw his sword which broke the strings of her bow.
"Hold him off while I restring!" She ordered them.
"Got it!"
Zatanna wasn't really a close range fighter and he knocked her back quickly but Blue was faster, she trained with Superboy she spun and as he caught the girl with the sword beside her neck but her hand had caught the blade.
"Want to play without the toys?" She asked. He pushed her off.
"They try to bait Harm; try to make Harm weak…" He re-sheathed his sword. "But Harm has no weakness."
He took his coat off as well and set himself in a fighting position.
Blue smirked and attacked, but he dodged every move, throwing her arms down, spinning from her kicks (a total blow to her ego) eventually he kneed her in the ribs and threw her away from him and she landed beside Zatanna clutching her mid-section.
Artemis then engaged him.
"The sword." Blue coughed. "Get the sword."
Zatanna nodded and they both stood up.
But the sword wouldn't budge from its sheath and where Harm had stuck it into the ground.
"Harm doesn't battle his demons." Harm said to Artemis. "Harm embraces them."
"Would Harm please shut up?" Artemis yelled back.
The sword shocked Zatanna, sending a spark of pain through her body and forcing her back.
"Zatanna!" Artemis shouted before being punched in the face.
"And cares about others. Another weakness." Harm said picking up his coat and putting it on. "The sword rejected its impure heart. Its not made the sacrifices Harm has to become pure."
"Look." Blue said. "It's Secret."
It was, on a roof that was two other buildings away from theirs.
"She hasn't led us wrong yet."
Artemis nodded and set off a smoke arrow to give them some cover.
However when they did make it to where they saw Secret she wasn't there.
"Great and we can't go back they way we came he's coming!" Zatanna said.
"We'll zip line to that magic store." Artemis said but an explosion behind them told the girls no.
Harm had arrived.
"This can be no coincidence; they are on Harm's very roof. How did this happen? TELL HARM! NOW!" Harm shouted.
"Dude I thought Superboy had temperament issues." Blue said.
"Wait! This is your place?" Artemis asked in shock.
"No more games!" Harm shouted. He slammed his sword down onto the roof sending a shock wave through the ground and to the girls who screamed and fell exhausted and hurt, their vision blurred and the girls passed out.
Artemis and Blue woke up tied to a car side by side.
"It dares awaken…" Harm's voice said and the TV beside them came to life with a video of Zatanna tied to a chair, a gun facing her.
"It well tell Harm its secrets, or your partner will lose its life."
Blue and Artemis looked at each other as he whispered in their ears. "How did it know of Harm's home?"
"Ask your partner she lured us here." Blue said closing her eyes and readying a way out but he caught it, Harm had figured out the 'small it's' eyes controlled her ability and he slapped her across the face making her eyes fly open in shock.
"Harm has no partner, Harm is pure, Harm is solo."
On the TV behind the psychopath Secret was walking up to Zatanna slowly.
He glanced at the screen a few moments later while having his own 'mini talk' to himself.
Zatanna was free and Secret was just…standing there.
He growled and ran out of the room unsheathing his sword.
"Now that, that creepy guy's gone…." Blue said and one eye flash later their ropes broke and the two were free.
They collected Zatanna who had entered the room for them and set about finding a place out of there about to go down a staircase but Secret was standing at the bottom.
Artemis went to shoot her.
"Wait!"
"Zatanna she's his partner!"
"Then why did she help me?" The magician asked.
"Don't know 'secret'!" Artemis snapped and the light of the energised sword let their eyes as Harm appeared at the top of the stairs.
"Look out!" They jumped off the stairs as it exploded behind them.
"Okay now we follow creepy Secret girl!" Blue shouted and the others agreed as they began to run through the house after her, Harm chasing them in anger as he went.
Blue used a small bit of power to break a gas line and Artemis shot a fire arrow at Harm before they went into another room.
It ignited.
"Oh that little…"
Boom.
The entire house blew through.
They came out of the cellar doors into the backyard.
In the centre of it…was a grave.
"Greta Hayes? Beloved Sister." Zatanna read.
Out of the grave rose…
Secret.
"Whoa…" Zatanna said shrinking back from the secret.
"This is your grave." The magician said to the spirit. "This is your Secret. This is you."
Greta's shoulders sagged.
"A ghost, an actual ghost…" Artemis said.
"Uh…how did you die?" Blue asked and Greta held out her hands, in a small glow of blue energy a sword appeared.
"Harm's dagger." Artemis said…
And then the back door blew open.
"Are you fucking serious? Can't this guy just take a hint?" Blue groaned.
"Great birthday huh?" Zatanna said.
"Oh shut up!"
"They defile Harm's holy place!"
"We defile it! You did this! To your own sister!"
He smiled.
"You've got the balls to be proud of it?" Blue said disgusted. "And you've got the gall to actually write beloved?"
"Not gall, truth. She was the only thing Harm ever loved. That's why she had to go; Harm's heart had to be pure. Greta had to be cut our, excised like an infection…"
The spirit appeared again having disappeared when her brother arrived.
He hissed when he saw her before smiling again. "Ah, it casts another illusion spell."
"Except I didn't speak." Zatanna said. "Harm knows it can't cast a spell without speaking."
The ghost of Greta slowly walked toward her brother.
"You asked how we found this place." Artemis said.
"Face it Harm, your secret's out."
He pointed the sword at the ghost. "No! Harms heart is pure! I'm not sorry! I'm not!"
The ghost just walked through the sword; she took away the purity from his heart.
He fell to the ground in pain as Greta burnt away the purity.
He stood up and attacked her with the sword that passed through his sister's spirit.
The sword grew heavy…and it rejected its master, the arm of the sheath clenching down over it.
"I don't need the sword!" He drew his dagger and ran through Greta; Artemis knocked the dagger away and dodged a kick.
"Get back." Blue said and her eyes flashed flinging him backwards.
"So unfocused! Can't fight us!" Artemis taunted.
"…while fighting itself." Blue agreed as he attacked again.
Artemis kicked him in the stomach, then the face, and then she punched him before swinging a round house kick that threw him back.
He tied to get up again but Blue appeared over him, she kicked Harm in the head and he dropped unconscious.
"Egnahc sehtolc otni sgnidnib!" Zatanna cast, and his clothes ripped, turning themselves into bindings that tied him up.
Greta turned and retreated back to where her grave was.
"We'll make sure you receive a proper burial." Zatanna said.
"We won't forget you Greta."
She smiled. "Secret…" before disappearing down into her grave.
"I still can't believe anyone can do that to its own sister." Artemis said.
"This world can be cruel as hell…and sometimes innocent people are caught in the crossfire." Blue agreed looked down at Greta's grave.
"If my…" Artemis said before stopping.
"I know what it's like trust me." Blue said.
"You're what? Guys, you can talk to me. Secrets don't stay buried obviously… it's better to bring them into the light." She told her two companions.
"I don't have any secrets." Artemis said.
"Yeah…" Blue agreed coughing. "Open book me…"
Zatanna sighed and they heard sirens in the distance, "Cops are coming."
"We did blow up the kitchen…"
Artemis looked out of the whole in the fence. "Zatanna, Blue look!"
Across the street….at Abel's House of Secrets, only one word remained highlighted on the neon sign…
Secret.
"Must have been the last thing Greta ever saw."
Blue stared at it; maybe Zatanna was right, secrets don't stay buried forever.
Well I hope you liked the chapter!
