I am so sorry about the wait! It's just with Musical rehearsal and exams and Tumblr I've been super busy. The italicized part signifies mind speak. I hope this can partially make up for the wait. Enjoy!

The trip to the outskirts of Jump was spent –for the majority of the time-in silence. The group only talked as they mulled everything over with their designated groups and as they asked questions pertaining to the plan. Even the two Flashes were remaining silent and serious as they assisted other hero's with readying their weapons. Everyone was egger to get there, find their leader, and hurt DeathStroke for what he did. (Artemis had been toying with the idea of castration since they left).

After about an hour of flight they finally flu over the border of California and began to lose altitude. Kaldur stood from his spot next to Arsenal and turned to the heroes who all looked fervently at him.

"Ms. Martian land the bio-ship near that cluster of tree's near the river and put it in camouflage mode." The Martian nodded and navigated the craft to where she had been told. Once on the ground a ramp appeared and the hero's walked into the small clearing. As Meghan closed up the ship, the Bat-Jet and the Arrowplane landed around them with Conner and Superman following their suit. As everyone gathered around, Tempest nodded silently to Ms. M who linked them all up.

"Alright, the entry way to the base should be right through those tree's, try to keep from being seen until we give you the signal to come in, then you can take care of the guards and met us inside. The outer vent is to the left of the entrance if there is are guards take care of them swiftly and silently, try to not bring any attention to yourselves. Those who are coming with me we go in through here. Everyone is aware of the plan correct?" After receiving seventeen nods as a sign of understanding Tempest walked to where his king and the two Martians awaited. "Good, now be stealthy, good luck, and I will see all of you soon." And with that he dove into the murky water with his king and the other two (taking a moment to morph) trailing after him.

The swim through the channel went quickly and without a hitch for the two Alantians, who were used to swimming around everything that was in the water. However it took a moment for the two Martians to get use to it, but soon they were following after them with ease.

After about fifteen minutes of some straight forward swimming, Tempest took a sharp turn upwards towards a patch of light shimmering through the water. Motioning as he did so for them to stay still, poking his head out of the surface he made sure the area was secure. A moment later he waved his hand forward beckoning them to come up. Slowly they arose from the depths towards their leader and out of the water.

WITH THE VENTILATION GROUP

Much like Kaldur had predicted a guard roamed around the area, wearily looking for signs of anything unusual. Before the team could discuss what should be done, three Batarings soared through the air all hitting the man simultaneously, making him instantly fall unconscious. Turning around they saw Red Robin, Robin, and Batman move quickly to the vent. The Arrow family sighed heavily, to use to the Batclans actions to be fazed by it they followed after them. By the time they reached the vent the three were already pulling it apart allowing a small opening to be available.

Crawling silently inside the shaft they followed Batman who had taken lead of the small group. Following Tempest instructions they went straight down only leaving the main vent to take a path to the left. Stopping Batman peered below before removing the cover and jumping down into what seemed to be an exercise room. Sticking to the shadows they walked into the next room where they saw Kaldur and the others come from the water. With a small nod of acknowledgement the two groups merged together and shuffled down to a narrow hall with several doors aligning the wall. Also aligning the wall were two guards who stood stiffly and silently each holding a gun posed at the ready. It took Tigress and Green Arrow less than a minute to knock them out with two trick arrows.

With the knowledge that Nightwing was trapped behind one of the doors they were guarding the team quickly set to find out which one it was.

Moving to the left side of the hall Red Robin once again pulled out his wrist computer and began to furiously type. Scanning the area he studied the results before looking pointedly at the group and then to a door two doors away from them on the right side, signifying that that was where they needed to go. Without hesitation they moved forward surrounding the entry way raising their weapons as they did so. Batman strode to the front and lifting his leg roughly kicked it causing it to splinter and fall open with a thud.

Rushing into the seemingly bare room they stopped short at the sight of their battered leader. Nightwing hung limply from shackles chained to the wall unconscious, abused, and obviously hurt. Batman didn't know which made him angrier the dagger pushed in his son's upper arm or the gunshot wound in his shoulder that was accompanied by varies tears and scratches on his body. A synchronized growl of anger erupted from each member of the group once they got over the initial shock of the view.

Running past what appeared to be a two way mirror the Batclan moved to his side, quickly scanning his body for more injuries before picking the chain that held his wrist to the wall. In a little less than two minutes they had gotten him free, gently catching him before he could fall to the ground. Picking him up bridal style Batman turned to Meghan expectantly, immediately knowing what the look meant she put back up the mental link.

"We have retrieved Nightwing; it's time for you guys to come in." Instantly Conner responded to the message.

"Understood, meet us in the main work out hall; Superman says he can hear DeathStroke training in there" Turning off the link she turned to the others who were watching her keenly.

"They're coming; we need to go to the front that's where he is." The others nodded and moved around the Martian to meet the others, Batman as he followed carefully stopped in front of her.

"Get him out of here and to the Bio-ship; watch over him till we come back." Reluctantly (She wanted to kick Wilson's ass to!) she telepathically lifted Wing and rose upwards fazing them both through the ceiling of the cell as Batman left the room after the others.

WITH DEATHSTROKE

DeathStroke smiled from his place in front of the monitors as he watched the Martian leave with his apprentice, unaware that soldiers where positioned outside ready to ambush the two. Turning to another screen he saw both teams make their way towards the room, expecting to find only him waiting there. How foolish of them to think that he hadn't planned on them finding him. Yes everything was going as plan and by the time he was through with them not only would he permanently have his apprentice back but he would also forever be rid of the incommodious Justice League.
