Venus raised her arm, blocking the punch coming her way. She punched back, landing a boxed glove into the opponents arm.
The kangaroo stepped backed, morphing into a young green boy. "Ouch!" He hollered. "I didn't expect to hit so hard during practice," He grumbled.
Venus removed her gloves, patting his shoulder. "Sorry about that," She smirked.
Beast Boy's stomach growled. He grinned, hopping out of the ring. "Lunchtime, let's go!" He smiled. Venus followed, rolling her eyes.
"Don't get so excited about food, you sound like a little kid,"
"Ya, ya," Beast Boy didn't listen. " You could say I have an animal appetite," he joked.
Venus raised a brow.
Beast Boy placed his hands behind his heard, laughing at his own joke.
Beast boy unpeeled the can of soup, pouring it sloppily into steel pot.
"Veeennnuusss," he whined. "I don't feel like turning on the stove," He smiled.
" fine," Venus grabbed the pan, placing on hand under. A spinning circle of flame appeared, beginning to heat the soup.
"See, your practicing," He smiled. "Your getting better and better. Now, about my bath-" He was interrupted by alarms. A few other ran by, passing the two kids.
"C'mon," They both started to run, heading towards the control room.
She slid into the control room, stopping. She grouped with the others, wondering what was going on.
"Clayface has been identified roaming the sewer under Gotham city," Nightwing ran Intel among them.
"Alpha, I want you down there," He commanded. "Beta, I want you in New York City for patrol," He turned his head back to the computer.
Wonder girl and Venus smiled to each other. They ran off to the zetatube, Bat girl beside them.
"I wonder what's going on in New York," Venus inquired. Wonder girl jumped, playfully landing on the transporter. "It's just patrol," She grinned.
"But, you know Nightwing; He's probably on some kind of hunch," Informed Bat girl. Wonder girl wagged her finger in agreement, and the three girls quickly dissolved away.
"Die it is," The assassin raised his weapon, about to kill his victim
The assassin's mission was interrupted as Wonder girl flew in kicking him back away. Bat girl swooped in, Venus on her arm. She set her down, moving the ambassador.
"Wonder girl, keep him busy; Venus and I will get the secretary general out!" She said. Wonder girl nodded her head, punching her palm.
Wonder-girl lifted the wall drape, revealing a secret elevator. The three climbed, Bat girl closing the door.
Venus lifted the top of the elevator, melting the secret door shut with a fire blast, hoping to hold him off. The three raced off the elevator and into the hall, only to freeze as the assassin jump threw the end hall window, breaking the glass.
"You really thought you could stop me?" He grinned. Bat girl grabbed the secretary, throwing a small orb at the man. "Venus, now," She yelled. The three ran, Venus turning back, igniting the small orb. It exploded, pushing her back.
She quickly got up racing to Bat girl. She stopped, standing to protect her as she attended to the Secretary General.
The assassin walked into, a bit battered and bloody. She wiped some blood from his mouth, smiling, enjoying the thrill of the fight.
Wonder girl suddenly flew into the room, punching him upside the head. He fell back, Wonder girl's lasso coming towards him. He grabbed it, pulling her forward, his punch sending her into the ceiling.
"When I move, get him out of here," Bat girl commanded to Venus. Bat girl lifted her cape gliding over the villain. He punched at her, not noticing the explosives set to her. He fell back as they exploded. Bat girl fell beside Wonder girl, watching.
Venus ran to the secretary. Suddenly, the assassin landed in front of them, halting in there tracks. He grabbed Venus in his hand, before trying the grab the general.
Venus Struggled, before using her hands to burn the assassins wrists. He yelled, throwing her into the oncoming Bat girl and Wonder girl. She tumbled into them, and looked up in horror to see he had grabbed the Secretary General.
"No!" Wonder girl screamed as he tore him apart. The man ripped liked a costume, revealing a small alien. The girl's stood surprised, mouth's agape.
The assassin wasted no time, grabbing the small alien and blowing up the wall,jumping onto a small space ship. He was gone in the blink of an eye.
Wonder girl looked over at her teammates. "What just happened?"
Venus stood by Wondergirl and Batgirl, listening to Nightwing's commands.
"At least he wasn't a assassin," Wondergirl joked. Batgirl kept focus on Nightwing, but Venus lightly smiled at Wonder Girl. The two seemed like normal young girls talking while a teacher lectured.
"Wondergirl, Bumblebee, your on alpha with me," Nightwing announced. "Batgirl, Venus, you two are beta with wolf," Nightwing. "Bluebeetle, Robin, Lagoon, your gamma,"
Venus looked over, watching Lagoon boy grumble.
Venus followed Batgirl, Bumblebee keeping watch from behind. "Were getting close," Batgirl announced, reading a small device on her suit.
"Look!" Venus shouted, pointing to a tower. As the fog cleared, a large, new looking tower designed to blend.
"A huge tower in the middle of this place?" Bumblebee questioned. "That was too be it. It wouldn't make sense; this town's architect is too historic" Batgirl deduced.
Bumblebee flew into a window on the top, Batgirl grappled, and Venus pointed her hands down, using flames to rocket ferself up. She grabbed the window, jumping in. The way downward before increasing dark; no other windows in place.
"Venus," Batgirl commanded. Venus lifted an arm, before fire encircled her hand. walked ahead, her hand a torch. They finally reached the bottom. Batgirl felt around for awhile, before finding a secret door, which opened, leading to an elevator.
"This is probably it; I have a plan," Batgirl proceeded. "Bumblebee, I want you to scope around the place, then sneak and free the prisoners. Venus, I want you to melt the core of the Zetatube.
"Yes," Bumblebee and Venus answered in unison.
The stepped into the elevator. It went down for almost a minute, before stopping. Just before the elevator stopped, the climbed out into the top. Venus placed her hand against the wall, heating it, then punching it as it was soft. The small hole revealing a cavern, and some Kroloteans working around a Zetatube.
"Go!" Whispered bat girl. Bumble flew threw the hole, looking around. She zipped quietly, until finding the prisoners in a corridor.
"Bat girl, It's bumblebee," Bat girl's earpiece rang. "I've found them. There's not much ground between this cavern and above ground. I'm going to blow it open,"
"Bumblebee, wait, we haven't-," Bat girl was interrupted by the sound of a bang and Bumblebee yelling. The Kroloteans started to screech, yelling a gathering near entrance of the corridor hall.
"Let's go!" Bat girl yelled. They jumped into the elevator, before running at the small aliens. Venus threw fire balls, and the Kroloteans started to yell. They ran to the Zetatube before anyone could stop them. Venus threw more fire from her hands.
The Kroloteans vanished. Venus placed her hands together, acting as a flamethrower, melting the remaining pieces of zeta-tube.
"Bumblebee, we lost them," Bat girl informed. "All the prisoners have escaped," She and Venus heard on there ear-pieces.
Venus helped pull Bat girl up the hole, walking over to Bumblebee and the freed prisoners.
"I'm sorry for exploding it; I thought it would be the quickest way to get them out," Bumblebee sighed.
Batgirl smiled. "It was. We're sorry we stalled so long. We should have taken action sooner," She explained.
"Guys," Venus chimed in. Nightwing and Wonder girl were arriving on the super cycle. They landed, and Nightwing called them over to help attend the prisoners.
"We were able to free the prisoner's, but the Kroloteans got away," Bat girl explained. "Venus melted the Zetatube, it probably won't be operational," She added.
"It's alright," Nightwing stated. "They are bound to be at another Zetatube, and we will find them."
Nightwing was flying them home, after they had brought the prisoners to the hospital for evaluation.
"You melted it? Nice," Wonder girl grinned. "I heard your were pretty kick butt yourself," Venus said.
"Miss Martian, Superboy, and Beast boy went to another Planet?" Venus asked, walking towards Nightwing.
"Yes, they're investigating the Kroloteans," He answered curtly, not looking away from the computer.
"Hey, Nightwing," Venus placed her hands back on the computer, facing the opposite direction, looking up at the ceiling.
There was an heavy silent as Venus mustered up what she had to say.
"Do you ever miss Batman?"
Nightwing turned to her, wondering where the topic came from. "Is this about Wildcat?" He asked.
Venus kept staring at the ceiling. "I guess,"
Nightwing waited for a moment
"Go on,"
"I mean, he's old now. He's stopped fighting completely," She explained. "And I worry. I mean, you never know when he could just not wake up one morn-,"
"Venus, you can't think about that stuff. I know it's hard, but you have to remind yourself they are still alive," He scolded.
Venus stared a bit longer. Nightwing was right, she couldn't think like that. Beside's, Wildcat seemed to have a knack for longevity; almost as if he was a cat.
"Now, go get Wonder girl; Another Zetatube has been discovered," He informed. "I want you to disable it like you did last time."
Venus nodded, her mind still on other things.
AU:: How was the chapter. Now, before saying how it lacked action, I wanted to keep in as close to the show as possible. Batgirl and Bumblebee didn't catch any Kroloteans, nor Batgirl and Wondergirl defeat the bounty hunter.
