(2 Hours Later. Skies over Kandaq)
(Kara's POV)
"ETA 10 minutes guys. Kara, you ready?"
"Absolutely."
The amount of pressure that she was feeling at this moment was similar to the moment when she was launched off of Argo. She wasn't afraid, but she was anxious, and nervous. She was many things. and she was ready.
"Ok Kara, remember, cause a ruckus. If anything goes wrong, Call Wally on the comm link. Tap it once and wait for the beep. Cyborg will be in the sky watching too." Chimed in Robin
"Alright, and… Good to go." Said Cyborg. He calculated the distance she should depart at, so she would waste as little energy as possible with flying. It was currently night in Kandaq, so she wouldn't be getting any extra sunlight unless she flew up a few miles.
"Good luck you guys!" she said as she walked to the ramp of the jet, and hopped out. Cape and hair billowing in the wind, so close to the coast. She let herself fall for a brief moment. Of all the things that she liked about her powers, flight was easily her favorite. On Argo she was confined to a daily routine that drove her mad with boredom. She could very well see why Kal did what he did. This was a far better way to help than with science and medicine. Not to say that she wasn't considering doing that to help this world, no far from it. Kal hadn't either. He developed things that kept people safe. Technologies had been greatly improved. These Humans were very dirty, they used limited sources for energy, and fooled themselves into thinking they would last forever. Oh well, one way or another, they were going to help.
Right now though, she focused, she concentrated and arched herself down to the earth. Kal showed her a neat trick. When he did not hold back, and brought his hands together, the 'clap' he made was a sonic wave. She had yet to try this, but if Kal could do it, then so could she. She wound up and clapped as hard as she could.
BOOM!
"That will cause some attention."
BOOM
BOOM
BOOM
Like thunder, clap after clap. She could hear from about two miles or so away, the army scrambling to come. One Jeep with 2 men came out. Kal hadn't taught her all the Earth languages, of which there were untold numbers, but there was a chip in the suit that turned different languages into English, the easiest in her opinion, and vice versa.
The Jeep pulled up to her right, the direction the base was from her. One man got out, and began yelling at her.
"Who are you, what are you doing here?! This is a restricted area!"
Kara chose not to respond instead using her heat vision to melt the machine gun on the top of the jeep, and the weapon on his hip. The concentration that required hurt. But Kal told her over time it gets a bit easier.
The man turned and began to yell "Get the troops here, it's a Meta! Call him in!"
Kara got ready. But she wondered, who was "Him?"
(Kandaqi military base, 600 yards out)
(Artemis Perspective)
The tanks and vehicles began to move which was the signal.
"Alright, let's move." said Robin. Donna, Wally, Robin and herself began to run, well for Wally it was more like a walk for himself. As they got close, they saw three guards at the gate. One on a tower, two at the gate. Robin spoke first
"Cyborg, how many are left on base? How many can you see at least… Understood. Out." Robin turned to them. "8 guards on base. 3 are here,5 on the third floor, one of them is watching the prisoners. One of them is probably the general. On my mark, Wally, take out the two at the gate, Artemis take the tower."
"Who's Mark?" She asked
"What about me?" asked Donna
"Can I mess around with them first? maybe make them think someone farted?" asked Wally
"Shut Up" Robin said with a lot of intensity, but at the same time very quietly. "Mark means when I say execute on the headset, do what i said. Flash, No, punch them. I told you to do it on the plane. Donna, when we get inside you will take point." Donna looked like she was about to ask a question about what point meant. "You will be in front. Everybody understand?"
She looked around, everybody nodded.
"Ok then, Wally, get in position and let me know when you're ready."
"10-4." And he flashed away.
Robin turned to her. "Ok Artemis, can you do this?, only one shot at this."
"Yeah, i've got this." She was lying if she would be honest. She was shaking like there was an earthquake. She got ready, she drew an arrow, and strung it to her bow
"Ready." Said Kid Flash on the head set.
"Execute."
She pulled back. Breath in… Breath out… Breath in… Go.
Her aim, as she expected was off. The arrow flew wide, missing the man, but it did hit his search light. Out of the corner of her eye, she say a blur, and two guards dropped.
The alerted man jumped out of his skin. He looked around, and saw Flash, who had stopped around 50 feet from the tower, and was out in the open. The man took up his gun, and began to aim.
"Flash watch out!" Robin Yelled, not on the head set.
Flash turned and moved just in time. The rifle began to fire, but he had no hope of hitting him, he was far too fast. the problem was, all the while, she had not re strung her bow. The fire crept up on her. One round pinged on the rock she was next to. She ducked.
"Donna go." Robin said on the head set. She looked up to see donna move like a blur, silencing the gunfire.
Wally came in, and he looked pissed.
"What happened?" he asked with a scowl
"I missed. Ok. Fuck off."
"Fuck off?! I almost died!"
"Calm down. Artemis, are you ok? Can you handle this?" Said Robin
"Of course. I'm fine. Jitters are out."
"Wouldn't ask me if I was alright…" grumbled Flash
"Wally, are you ok? spooked?"
"No i'm fine."
"I'm sorry i missed. It won't happen again." She said.
"Ok Robin, What is the plan now?" Asked Donna floating back to the ground.
"Now, we get inside. Donna, Carry Artemis over, unless you have a way over. Get o the other side, and regroup at the door."
Flash ran back, and then forward again, and his blur went into the air, she assumed he jumped. Robin took out a strange looking gun, and it shot out a hook to get inside.
"Here, take my hand." said Donna extending her hand. They floated maybe 30 feet of the ground. How they did it was like magic to her.
She felt like crap that she failed. Her first task on the team and she failed. She needed to be better. She would be better. No more misses. Ever. Especially for that whiney smug bastard Flash. He's lucky she didn't miss entirely. If she hadn't been a good shot, and failed to hit the light, he probably would have been killed, they guy would probably be able to see.
They landed, and Robin was next to the door. Wally right next to him.
"Alright. Donna, take point. Let's Hurry, Kara just radioed everything's going fine. I told her we need 30 minutes. So let's go."
And in they went'
(Donna POV)
As Donna slowly made her way through the compound, taking point as Robin called it, she was keeping an eye out for any signs of the enemy. There were supposed to be five left, and four were on patrol, and one watching where the prisoners were. They came up to entrance to the compound, an opening into the complex. It looked like a stable large enough for a half a dozen horses. There was a pair of doors that must lead further through the complex.
"After you." said Kid Flash. Donna opened the doors. The halls were painted white and the floor was tile, many doors were closed. She turned back to Robin to ask him where they needed to go.
"Which way do we go?"
"End of the hall, up two floors, Take out the guard and get them back outside. I'll call Cyborg for extract.
"What about that general? and the Patrol's?" asked Artemis.
"Wally, can you go through the compound? Those guards should be on the first and second floors in groups of two. But if you see the General, leave him alone, I'll take care of him. Donna and Artemis go to the prisoners. It's one floor down. Wally, once you take down those guards, go and check Kara, make sure she's alright."
"Sure thing boss." And he was off. Donna looked back again to see where Robin went, but he was gone, like a shadow.
"Let's go free those prisoners." Said Artemis, and the girls went to get their objective. As they came to a corner, Donna could hear the guard conversing with one of the prisoners. She couldn't understand what the guard was saying, she hadn't learned this tongue, but she could hear in the tone of the prisoners that they were frightened.
Rounding the corner, Donna flung her shield at the man, dropping him quickly. Artemis was ready with a bow drawn in the chance someone foolish enough tried to come after them.
She walked up to the cell and pulled the door off the hinges. The prisoner's filed out, Donna leading the way. Out of nowhere, Kid Flash came with an arm full of other unconscious guards.
"Hey, mind If I throw these guys in here?" He drops the guards on the ground. Placing the door back onto its hinge, she crushes the steel as to keep these guards in one spot. She tapped her headset to call in Robin.
"Robin, It's Donna. The guards are secure. What's your status?" There was no response. "Robin?"
Robin
"Robin?" It was Donna. Right now though, he was a bit busy with decryption. This General, Ameni his name was, had vital information on this computer. Before the mission, on the flight over, Bruce gave him an encoded email, which asked if the situation presented itself, to download the information.
Speaking of the general, the broken man tied to a chair, gagged with broken ribs and his right arm dislocated. He would be fine, but Right now Dick had to concentrate. This download was almost finished, and as soon as it was, They were ready to move. Donna would probably be contacting him to say they had secured the hostages.
"Come on, finish up. We need to go." He said to nobody in particular. 99%... 100%. Done.. Time to go. Dick tapped his headset three times for a general call.
"This is Robin. Sorry. Had to take care of this General. Cyborg, ready the ship for the hostages. Donna and Artemis, you guys help them out, I'll meet you there. Wally, go check in on Kara. Kara, get ready, we're on our way to get you."
"This is Wally, see you in two minutes sweet stuff." Dick made his way outside. Cyborg was landing the ship nearby, and Artemis was going onboard with the hostages. However Donna was waiting for him, and she did not look very happy.
"What did you need from the General?"
"Information about what he may have done to those hostages. To see if he may have needed to stand a trial about a crime."
"What did he say?"
"Nothing. Just left him tied to a chair, gagged and with some busted ribs. He'll live."
"This mission went well. You are a good leader Robin, the plan was well constructed."
"Thank you. Now come on, we need to rendezvous with Flash and Kara."
Just then, the radio went on. It was wally, and he sounded desperate. "We need help over here. Now!"
"Wally what's wrong?!" Static came over. Dick turned to Cyborg.
