Ch. 9

(A/N) Okay, sorry I haven't posted in a while, grounded, but there may be a part in here that'll make you really want to kill me, but don't.

OOOOOOO, I keep forgetting I own nothing except for the plot and story idea. What? It makes me feel better.

The Bio-Ship was silent.

'When do you guys think we should tell the JL?' Miss Martian asks.

The question hung in the air, no one responding.

'Never,' Kid Flash was the one to "speak".

'Not for a long time,' Robin adds.

'How long can we wait?' Superboy inputs.

'I agree with Robin,' Kaldur thinks.

Our little Martian was quite confused.

'The JL isn't very good with feelings.' Superboy states.

'Ya,' Kid Flash thinks. 'They'll treat us like sidekicks again and worry about our feelings.'

'And you do not want the JL, especially Bats, being "kind" and "understanding".' Robin warns.

'Oh.'

When the team reached the delivery truck half of them stayed behind while the other half went to secure the base. Just before the truck started moving the team did a check.

'Kid Flash,' Miss Martian call,' are you, Aqualad and Robin ready?'

'All clear on this end,' KF responds. 'How bout you?'

'Good.'

Turning his head toward their leader, the speedster nods his head letting him know.

"Okay" Aqualad says. "Let us get going."

Mounting on their bikes the boys headed out with Robin in front, Aqualad and Kid Flash at the sides and an armed guard and the back.

They had been riding for about an hour, so far no attacks. The Atlantean knew something was bothering the young speedster and he had a very good idea on what it could be.

'You cannot blame yourself,' Aqua lad "says".

'Yes I can,' KF growls bitterly. 'I shouldn't have left her alone with Sportsmaster,' after a long pause he adds; 'that devil.'

'What could you have done? Artemis knew what she was doing.'

'I could have done something! I'm supposed to be a hero and I just stood there screaming.'

'Artemis died heroically. Would you have rather seen her die differently?'

'Yes! I mean no, I don't know.'

'Try to be at peace. Artemis is.'

They were silent for the next thirty minutes, but with their luck it was bound to end.

The team heard the guard grunt as he fell and instantly KF charged. Putting his bike on autopilot he dipped into the speed force and jumped up after the perp.

"It can't be!" KF's team hears below.

'Kid, what's wrong?' Aqua lad asks.

'It's-it's-it's-'

'No! It can't be!' Robin interrupts.

'It's Sportsmaster.'

(A/N) hahahaha! Do. Not. Kill. Me. I know, I know, I'm so evil killing Arty and keeping Sports alive. HAHAHA, no murder or else you'll never know the end. Bai.
