"Hey you need to wake up" said a voice. I jumped up and grab my arm around the girl neck. After realizing what I done I let go immediately. "You scared the shit out of me". "don't worry I understand I would do the same thing" The girl said. I notice she had blood on her that she got off me. "Uhh Im sorry I got blood on your suit"
she looks down at her suit seeing all the blood on her. "Don't worry about it". She looks at the door then at me. " We need to blindfold you Before we land". "Why do you need to blindfold me?" . " it is Protocol when we bring in People that are not part of the league". Never thought the league would bring in outsiders I thought.
As we Approach the base they had to blindfold me before we enter the base. As we landed two of the team members lead me to a room. When we got inside they took the blindfold off me. When I turned around I saw table and two chairs. "sit in one of those chairs someone will be in here to ask you a few questions" The Tall boy said. After the boy said that I sat in one of the chairs. "its all my fault" I muttered to myself. I stare down at the table thinking what I could of done to keep them alive
I hear the door open and look up to see a woman walking over to the table and sitting in front of me. "hey...im black canary im going to be asking you questions on what happen today" I look at her emotionless. " is it alright If I ask you a few questions" I look at her and nod. "alright first question what is your name" "John...Castle" I said slowly. " Good this is starting out great" she said. "Second question do you know who abducted you and your family" I just stared at her for a solid 10 seconds. "I...know who it is...i prefer not to say" she looked at me confused. "Why not" she ask. " Because Im going to kill him".
She looked at me with wide eyes. "I think...that is all im going to ask you for today I will show you to your temporary room until you leave tomorrow morning to the police station" she stand up as I do the same she showed me to my room. "if you need anything Just let me know also tour the cave a bit and take a shower...we don't want any of the blood on anything if you know what I mean" I nodded and she walked out of the room.

The team was sitting in the kitchen eating what Megan cook the day before. "Guys what did we get ourselves into" Wally said. "I don't know...The way that guy killed those soldiers disturbed me" said Robin. Robin looked at Artemis. "How do you know that guy arty" Artemis looked up at robin. "Huh.." Robin noticed she was not alright. "Are you alright Miss" Robin ask. "Yea just some memories came back to me...i haven't seen him in so long". The rest of the team looked at Artemis. " he used to live in Gotham next door from me...we were friends basically Ever since we met each other".
"Why was he down here in Happy Harbor" ask wally. Artemis looked at her boyfriend. "He moved down here when he was only twelve...Said his dad got a job offer that would cover his mom sickness" Robin looked at her with only a Sad Expression. Then something clicked in robin mind.
"Hey artemis...Was any of his family Former military" "No I don't think so why" Robin pop up his wrist and started to type away. " the way he fought those soldiers..." Robin Eyes widened at what he found. "Woah..He was special forces" Robin said. "What do you mean he was special forces" Artemis walked over to robin while the rest of the team did the same.

"Johnny wake up" Said a voice. "Dammit Ben I Cant get five minutes of sleep can I" Ben Laughed. Well we have a briefing in 10 minutes get your gear on and meet us in the tent" said ben. With that john got up and put on his Gear and walked out with ben to the tent. "You know johnny you're the youngest to join the marines" ben said with a smile. "To be honest I just wanted to serve my country I dint think I would be special forces Commander By this time" John Laughed. " Same here man Same here" Both Ben and John Laughed.
As they walked in the tent the other squad members showed up. "Hey john" Said Billy. "Hey bill" " So what is the Brief all about" " I don't know man just woke up like fucking 10 minutes ago" said john. "You just cant get no sleep can you" said Bill. "No I can not" as they continue walking a man walked in. "Alright cut the chatter boys and listen up" said the man. "At 0700 Yesterday we received a Transmission From Colonel Schoonover he wants us to go in and take out the HVT in this compound" He pointed at the map showing the Compound and hills on both side. John saw this and stated his Opinion. "Sir This looks like ambush" Said john. "Well the Colonel says we have to go in there anyways we cant change the plan now" Ben then started to say something. "Are you crazy if this is a ambush there would be no Reinforcements to come and help us" "Now listen son you and your squad are going in there No question" John look at the older man with a angry expression. "Now you guys dust off at 23:00..Dismissed"

"JOHN LOOK OUT" Yelled ben. As he yelled a mortar fell next to him and blew up. John fell over his ears ringing. As he look around everything seem to slow down seeing all the bodies of his fallen comrades and body parts. As he look up the hill that was in front him he saw 3 armed Taliban aiming there guns at him. He got up and dived into the nearest cover while the Taliban was shooting at him.
" SON OF A BITCH IM PINNED DOWN BEN". "I GOT YOU JOHN" Yelled ben as he sprayed at the 3 armed guys with his m249. As the 3 guys were taken down john got up and ran over to ben in cover next to him. " WE HAVE TO GET THE INJURED OUT OF HERE ANY WORD ON EXTRACTION" Said John. " THEY ARE ON THERE WAY WE NEED TO FIND A GOOD SPOT FOR THEM TO LAND" Yelled ben. John shot at the Taliban that was shooting at him. " ILL GO AND FIND A CLEAR SPOT FOR THEM TO LAND" Ben looked at john With a crazy expression. "JOHN THAT IS SUICIDE JUST WAIT FOR THEM TO COME HERE AND FIND A SPOT" Yelled ben. "I HAVE TO TRY AND GET THEM OUT...COVER ME" Yelled John.
As john was running by soldiers he saw his commanding officer on the ground with his right hand blown off. "DON'T WORRY SIR WERE GOING TO GET YOU OUT OF HERE" Yelled John. "YOU WAS RIGHT JOHN...FUCKING HELL THIS HURTS LIKE A BITCH" Yelled his commanding officer. " DON'T WORRY IM GOING TO GO FIND A CLEAR SPOT FOR THEM TO LAND" Yelled john. "JOHN YOU BE CAREFUL YOU HEAR ME" Yelled his commanding officer. " DON'T WORRY SIR I WILL BE ALRIGHT" Yelled John. With that he ran off to find a spot for the helicopter to land.
As john was finding cover he came across many Taliban that tried to kill him. As he was shooting the Taliban his m4 ran out of ammo and he threw it at one of them. He push one against the wall and pulled out his m9 and shot the man in the head. Another one came up to him and he shot him with the man falling on him.
He was being shot at as the bullets were hitting the dead soldier in front of him with him shooting back at the soldiers. As he shot out the last rounds that was in his m9 he pulled out his Shotgun and started to kill more soldiers that came to kill him. When he ran out of ammo on his shot gun he picked up one of the soldiers AK 47 and killed more of them that tried to kill him.
While he was shooting at them one of them got a lucky shot and shot him in the shoulder. As he fell he shot the rest of the round killing the soldier that shot him. He tried to shoot more rounds but he ran out of ammo in his ak and he threw it on the ground. He put his hand on his shoulder putting pressure on it while on the ground. He got up and walked towards the wall pulling out his knife Getting ready to fight more Taliban.
He screamed and one came in the room with him. He stab the soldier 5 times killing the soldier and fought another one off. He killed the other soldier that tried to kill him. Another came threw and knocked the knife out of his hand making him fight the soldier with his fist. As he fought the soldier he grab his head and slam it against the wall over and over again until a explosion went off making him fall to the ground.
When he got up he stumble a few times while his ear ringing. When he saw the soldier moving he picked up a rock and started to bash the soldier head in. While hitting the soldier blood went all over his face and he screamed while doing it. After six or seven hits he stop. He picked up the dead soldier ak and walked out of the room.
When he found a clear spot he threw a green smoke grenade. "This is bravo 1-4 Requesting extraction at grid 092493228 Mark with green smoke how copy" "Copy that Bravo 1-4 Eta 5 minutes Prepare to board". As the soldiers came in he dint see his friend Ben with them. " WHERE IS BEN" " DON'T KNOW BUT WE HAVE TO GET OUT OF HERE" said a soldier. " NOT WITHOUT BEN" As soon as john said that he saw ben running towards him. " RUN GET ON THE HELICOPTER NOW" yelled ben. As ben was running he was shot in the back. With a Yell John shot all of the Taliban that was behind him killing them all.
John ran towards ben picking him up and getting on the helicopter. "Ben don't leave us man your going to be alright" said john. "im going to die...i know it...tell my family...i love them...okay...Johnny Boy" said ben. With that ben laid back and died right in front of John. With that the helicopter went back to base.

When the video ended the team will never forget what they had just witness. "Holy..shit" was all wally could say. Artemis was devastated at what she just watch the Boy she knew was not a boy anymore. All of the team members heard footsteps and turn around to see john standing there looking at them with blood all over him.
"Uhh...Do you guys know where the shower are" John ask. The team was just staring at him. "Artemis...is that you" John said. Artemis turned around and looked at john." Hey...Johnny" after artemis said that john rush in and gave her a huge hug. "I haven't seen you in forever" said john. As they stop hugging artemis smiled. "John ill show you where the showers are okay" said artemis. "uhh yea that would be great...you got blood on you by the way" Artemis looked down and saw that she had blood on her shirt. "shit...well I dint like this shirt anyways" after that artemis took john to the showers.
Artemis notice john had cried because of his red eyes. "John...where have you been for 6 years" John turned to look at her. "After my family moved out of Gotham we settled in Happy Harbor" Artemis was listening to what he was saying Very Closely.
" About 2 years after we moved my family got approached by the government Saying that if I join a program the whole family would be covered for collage and with Jobs that could Help them for the rest of there life...i took the deal and said I would do it for them" John Remember that moment with his family and a tear left his eye.
"I could of done something..i could of save them artemis..i failed them" Artemis Hug john hard. "Listen to me johnny...Whatever they did to you I promise we will get them" artemis said. "I don't think that would work" said John. "Why would it not work" said artemis. They know how to hide very well from the league and if anything were to happen they cover there tracks very well." Artemis help john up and they continue to the showers.
