Chapter 5: The Catch

The heroes flew in the Javelin for Nisyros.

"So how did you find us?" Wonder Woman asked.

"Me and Robin hacked into the Javelin mainframe and traced this Javelin to where ever you were going," Batgirl explained. The adult heroes glared at Batman.

"They're smart kids," Batman said from the pilot seat. "Not my fault."

"What are you teaching these children?" Flash asked.

"He didn't teach me all of my tricks," Batgirl stated. "I learned some of them from books."

"Books, I've heard of those," Robin responded.

"I'm surprised since you never seem to read them," Batgirl replied.

"Hey!" Robin exclaimed.

"Straw is cheaper and grass is free," Batman added.

"Did he just crack a joke?" Flash asked.

On Nisyros

Two men and a woman made their way to the volcano on the island. They walked up and were now on a rocky platform near the rim of the volcano. The elder man took a scroll out from under his cloak. He dropped it into the volcano and then a green bubble appeared around it. They turned around to see the heroes and Green Lantern holding the scroll.

"It seems you have found us," the elder man said.

"Who are you?" Batman asked.

"Ahh, Detective, it's an honor to finally meet you," he responded. "You may call me, Ra's Al Ghul." Green Lantern then noticed something about the scroll.

"Wait a minute," Lantern began. He unrolled it. "This is a grocery list." The other man then pulled out a smoke bomb and threw it at Superman. It exploded on contact of Superman's chest. The smoke was green. Ra's and the woman threw their smoke bombs at Green Lantern and Flash. Flash dodged the smoke bomb thrown in his direction but it still landed on the ground and Lantern created a shield around his.

"Kryptonite," Superman wheezed. He collapsed to the ground. Flash was trying run but he was stuck. The bomb had unleashed a thick gum-like substance that he couldn't get out of. Lantern's bubble disintegrated. The smoke blew onto him and it stuck to him and it was yellow.

Now only Batman, Green Arrow, Robin and Wonder Woman were standing. Green Arrow took the bald head assistant while Wonder Woman took the woman and Batman went to fight Ra's.

"Who are you?" Wonder Woman asked as they traded fist blows. "And why are you doing this?"

"My name is Taila Al Ghul," the woman informed her. "And I'm doing what has to be done." They traded blows with Taila mainly on the defense side. Wonder Woman was an impressive opponent and she was giving Taila a run for her money. But Taila was determined to win one way or another. So as Wonder Woman was going to punch her Taila pulled out the REAL life scroll of Bruce Wayne, slightly opened it, and put right where Wonder Woman was going to hit her. Then Wonder Woman did her there and it caused the scroll to gain a large hole. Taila dropped the scroll and to her knees. Wonder Woman then picked up the scroll and her eyes filled with shock and Taila's with tears.

Batman was fighting Ra's and they were blocking every blow one another made. Then Batman's head exploded with pain and it causing him to lose focus. That gave Ra's the opportunity to knock the disorientated to the ground. Batman fell onto the floor and began wincing. Ra's looked to see that Wayne's scroll had one humongous hole in it. He turned to see his right handed man fighting Green Arrow.

Batgirl had flown down so Green Lantern and Robin could load the other heroes. Green Lantern got Superman in while Robin was busy lasering Flash out of the gunk he was in. Green Lantern was still covered in the yellow powder so Batgirl took a water bottle that was in the javelin and dumped it on his head. It washed most of powder off.

"Hey!" Green Lantern exclaimed then he noticed the lack of powder. "Oh, thanks." He then used his ring and lasered the rest of the gunk off of Flash.

Wonder Woman needed answered. She took the lasso off of her belt and threw it around Taila.

"Why did you do that?" Wonder Woman demanded. The lasso glowed.

"I-I needed to complete the mission," Taila stated.

"Why not just throw it into the volcano?" Wonder Woman asked.

"Because I don't want to kill him," Taila said. "I-I've been secretly watching and admiring him from afar for a long time and I didn't want to kill him."

"So you figured a hole in the scroll would be better than death?" Wonder Woman asked. "He'll be in pain for the rest of his life."

"I know," Taila said with tears. "I know." Wonder Woman then took her to the Javelin. She knew that any more integration needed to be done on someone else. She could bear to hurt her any longer.

Green Arrow had been trading blows with this bald guy for some time. This guy was pretty good at martial arts and was possibly better than him at using his fists. Then the guy crashed in front of him. Then he noticed Flash was standing behind him with a smile on his face. Flash then grabbed him and put him in the Javelin.

Then Green Arrow saw Robin get sent across the platform and land on his back. He turned to see Ra's Al Ghul and Batman on the floor. Green Lantern then bubbled Ra's. Ra's tried use another yellow powder bomb but Lantern incepted the bombs before he could use them. Green Arrow then pulled a groaning Batman up and threw Batman's arm over his shoulder and walked with him to the Javelin as Robin followed closely.

"How did he do that?" Flash asked.

"More importantly how did he know our weaknesses?" Superman said.

"My father's been studying the League just incase he ran into them while trying to complete this mission," Taila stated. She still had Diana's lasso of truth around her. Then Green Lantern walked in with Ra's. He then got Ra's cuffed and locked in the prisoner section of the Javelin where the bald guy was as well. Wonder Woman then took her lasso off of Taila and she cuffed and locked Taila up too. Then Robin and Green Arrow walked in. Green Arrow still had Batman around his shoulder. When they noticed Batman their eyes lit up in shock as Green Arrow laid him over several of the chairs in the back of the Javelin.

"What happened?" Superman asked.

"We don't know," Green Arrow admitted.

"Will he be alright?" Batgirl asked.

"We don't know," Robin sighed.

"Well at least we have the scroll right?" Flash asked. Diana took the scroll from where she had it on her belt and showed it to them. They noticed the hole on the back on the closed scroll.

"What can be done?" Green Lantern asked.

"We have to go back to Themiscyria," Wonder Woman told them. "We might be able to find some answers there."
