continuing on this story. Mostly involved cheshire and her revolution ninja's. But also the outsiders are dealing with the new meta-human's
National city:
In the crock house, cassie was sleeping in her bedroom until her alarm went off, she grabbed the clock and throw it across the room, hitting the dart board, with knifes stuck on the board. Cassie slowly sat up and stood up from the bed, walked out of her room while rubbing her neck. She walked downstairs and passed the living room. Stopped and walked backwards and see the muslim girl, halo. Glowing orange and was asleep while floating above the futon. Cassie walked into the kitchen, seeing her oldest sister, jade. Handing lian a bowl of cereal with a sippy cup.
Lian: Hi aunty cass
Cass smiled and wave before sitting down on the chair. Jade says. "so someone didn't tell me about our house guest". Cassie looked around before taking out her phone, typed a word and press a button. "artemis" a A.I. Voice came out of her phone
Cheshire: she's at the hospital. But I'll get to her later
Jade turned around and look at cassie, who looked down. "you and her are lucky my daughter likes her glow. But I'm gonna talk to artemis when she get's home". Cassie shooked her head before she point at a picture on the wall of the original outsider's. "aqualad, robin, jessica cruz, superboy, miss martian, artemis, zatanna, rocket, and cheshire". She stood up and walked closer to the photo and pointed at robin
Cheshire: him. Well that makes more sense
Jade grabbed her phone and dial a number, she waited for a few seconds before hearing the voicemail box. She place her phone down and says. "typical grayson, brings us back together to help fight and leaves the mess to us. And now he's not picking up" Jade shook her head
Somewhere else in national city, artemis was walking through the hallway in a hospital, dressed in scrubs, she walked in the Intensive Care Unit Patient Room. Stood by the other intern's. The chief of medicine walked up and says. "listen up interns, you'll spend your next couple of months here in this hospital. I will be grading each of your performance. Look around, some of you will not become doctor's". Rocket walked up in a business suit. "but we have faith in all of you, don't let dr davenport break your confidence"
Doctor: intern's this is raquel erwin, the hospital administrator
Rocket: and I'm please to see you all came so far in medical school and ended up in sacred hearts. To start your internship, the clipboards that were handed to you has your assign areas and doctors that you can shadow you. Or i like to say, the doctors that'll become your mentors for a very short time
Artemis was the only one to laugh, she looked at the other interns, before looking down. Raquel smiled before saying. "goodluck, intern's". The intern's scattered around the room. Artemis was looking at her clipboard, as rocket walk up. "hey, you're gonna do fine. But your not getting special treatment, for being a friend" she jokingly said
Artemis: hey, i got here on my own. No problem
Raquel laugh. "how's halo?". Artemis says. "she's good. I didn't tell jade though. So I'm pretty sure she's waiting for me". They both laughed. "she'll be glad though, that she's staying until nightwing figures out what the outsiders should do next"
Rocket: yeah. Kaldur been trying to call him, but haven't answered
Artemis: I'm sure he'll do something
Happy harbor:
At m'gann and connor land, deep in the woods. Connor was pouring coffee for m'gann in the kitchen, set the cup down on the bar. M'gann was looking out the window, seeing brion markov, sitting on the swinging chair, looking at a photo on his phone, seeing gregor laying on a hospital bed. Titled. "outsiders put the prince in a coma". Brion shook his head, looking at his twin brother
Miss martian: i feel so bad for him. Was forced out on his country, his sister abducted. And his brother is in the coma
Superboy: good thing halo saved his life
Miss martian: well, it looked like she healed his lungs. But still
Superboy: you still ok with him staying here?
Miss martian: of course. It's temporary until the outsider's figure out something
Superboy: yeah, nightwing said he'll call soon
Las vegas:
At a hotel building, in both jessica and yolanda penthouse, a knock was heard. Yolanda walked out of the living room and opened the front door, seeing diana behind the door. "hey, yolanda. I came to see how allegra was doing"
Wildcat: she's good, she's staying in one of the rooms. Another benefit about living in a penthouse. Don't have to worry about guest staying
Diana chuckled as she walked in. "i just want to make sure. Has she said anything". Yolanda says. "well, she's sad she can't go home. Nothing else". Diana looked down. "poor girl. I thought i could talk to her"
Wildcat: go ahead. But she's still asleep. Jessica checking on her
Wonder woman: you don't mind taking her in?
Wildcat: diana, she's gonna be fine. Wendy and bette expanded our security system. Until nightwing calls us back. She's safe
Gotham:
In the old warehouse, nightwing hacked himself back in the computer system, looking at footage of each teen getting experimented. "now, let's see who's this halo girl is"
Dick looked through different photo until he found the girl until he notice the folder's behind the photo are disappearing. Along with the photo. "what, her data getting deleted... Jake". Dick tried to upload the files, only a couple of them. He watch, seeing the rest of the files are deleted. "Sorry halo". He said as he notice the computer frying from the inside. He took a step back, seeing the smoke coming out of the computer
Dick shook his head before opening his holographic computer and opened up one of the files he saved. His eyes opened wide. "son of a bitch"
intro, an explosion started and 5 dark figures walk through the flames, a women with a Hoodie float down while glowing orange. Lava came out of the ground and a man crawl out while smoking. A women shot an shock blast around herself. A women clench her fist and boulders float around herself, a man with his right eye glowing red, his arm formed into a laser cannon and shot around. The 5 was walking along with 3 shadow figures, one has a symbol of superman, the second has a X on her chest, and the last had a blue bird on his chest."young justice: evolving" appeared
Watchtower
In the assembly room, kaldur was watching footage of the markovian attack, with Raquel, m'gann, zatanna, batman, atom, and shazam
Miss martian: well. My team is banned from markovia
Aquaman: this is painful. Markovia wants us to lock you and your team up
Miss martian: i can't believe it. Why would jake do this
Zatanna: he's not jake. He's just some demon
Aquaman: we will figure out who jake is. But for now, veronica schedule an interview in central city news. If you want to make it right, we have to go to that news room and talk to the public about the outsider's
Miss martian: will that fix it? I can't have my team being locked up
Aquaman: it might. But we're not sure
Miss martian: I'm going alone
Rocket: what?
Zatanna: we cant have you doing this alone
Miss martian: i have to. I am the leader of the outsiders, if it doesn't work, the justice league is at risk. I can't that to your team, kaldur. Beside you all have family
Aquaman: i respect your choice, just know we'll be here for you
Rocket: speaking of family, zee where is your husband? Artemis been asking me
Aquaman: he did promise he'll figure out a way to protect the new meta-humans
Zatanna: you tell me. He told me he might be gone a couple of days
Miss martian: typically grayson, where the hell is he?
National city:
At a recently built building, named. "the cheshire's". With heavy arm trucks parked in the side. A couple of security guards walked out of the building while talking, they notice a man on a motorcycle drove up and parked infront of the building. The man removed his helmet, revealing dick grayson. He parked his motorcycle before saying. "is the owner of the cheshire's here today". One security officer slowly nodded
Inside the building, dick walked up toward a door with the name. "Jadelyn crock/owner". Jade was walking around her office walking talking on the landline phone. "sorry, but i am low on security guards. This is by busy time of the month... I know, look, I'll see what i can do. I'll call you if something opens". Jade heard a knock on her door and says. "enter". Dick walked in, making jade smirk as she sat down and propped her feet on the desk. "what are you doing, grayson"
Nightwing: hey, jade. Been awhile
Cheshire: a week i say. A week after you recruited my sister, a week after dumping a meta human on my couch. A week after you disappeared out of knowhere, leaving the outsiders in the shit
Nightwing: i take it your mad at me
Cheshire: your lucky i liked that halo girl, lian calls her, her living nightlight when she sleeps. So what do you need?
Nightwing: i have a lead on the abducted kids, and i can't do it alone. I figured you'll like to be back in the field
Cheshire: ever heard of our old team, the outsiders?
Nightwing: nah, i don't feel right talking to them
Cheshire: and how is that different between us?
Nightwing: look i just need help. With your experience from the league of assassins, we can stop these abduction. I have a lead of a possible abduction operation. Can you help me?
Jade groan while she spin her chair to look at the wall behind her. "lian" he said. Jade sigh before standing up and look at dick. "alright, I'll help, but only if you'll help me first. This is my busy time this month, for private security. And I'm low on security guards, i have one security assignment tomorrow. I need you as a private security guard"
Nightwing: really, you want me to work for you?
Cheshire: yup, i have to protect an unknown person that's coming in the united states, she's making some speech. We are hired to protect her. You help, I'll help your problem, deal?
Dick sigh before saying. "deal". Jade smirked as she put her hat back on. "come with me" she said. Jade guided dick out of her office and went in the locker room. "grayson, meet our teammates". The two security guards closed their lockers and turned around, revealing talia and nyssa al ghul. "well if it isn't nightwing himself"
Nightwing: what are you doing here
Cheshire: we founded the company together, and i promise you that I'll pay you back from your loan
Talia: don't worry about it. We're happy to do it
Jade grabbed a security hat and throw it to nightwing. "this should fit you". Dick shook his head. "i cant believe im doing this"
Cheshire: you want my help, you'll need to help me first. Richard, oh im sorry. Dick
Dick sigh as he followed jade through the locker room
Las vegas:
Inside jessica penthouse, allegra slowly woke up from the couch, she slowly stand up and looked around before getting up and headed toward the spiral stairs, she walked up to the second floor and walked into the bathroom
In the kitchen, jessica was opening the stove, looking at the bacon before she heard a scream. She put on her ring, and her lantern suit appeared around her and floated on the second floor as yolanda ran out of her room, wearing her wildcat gloves. Allegra ran out of the bathroom. Jessica formed a mimi gun and asked. "What's the emergency?"
Allegra: Your toilet is possessed, water shot out and hit me in my. Swimsuit area
Yolanda started to laugh as she took off her gloves. Jessica let go of the mini-gun, letting it disappear. "That's a bidet, allegra. It helps you clean up". Allegra looks at the bathroom. "it shoots water up my butt to help clean me after going to the bathroom. What the hell"
Wildcat: you'll get use to the feeling. Just don't scare us like that
Allegra: a warning could've help
The three girls walked downstairs, and walked into the kitchen. Jessica says "it usually doesn't do it automatically. I have to call maintenance. Sit, i made breakfast". Allegra sat on barstool infront of the counter
Wildcat: how are you enjoying your stay?
Allegra: it doesn't matter what i say. I have to stay here aslong as that, demon is hunting me. Or he'll kill my family
Jessica cruz: Sé cómo te sientes. A few years ago, my nemesis tried to kill my little sister after she found out who i am
Wildcat: you just have a lantern around your eye. I protect my family with a mask covering most of my face
Jessica cruz: anyway. Allegra this is for your own good. Yes, jake threaten your family. But we can't take that risk
Wildcat: this is all temporary
Jessica set a plate of bacon on the counter, she turned back to the stove and cracked a couple of eggs on a pan. "in a couple of weeks, you'll be back home with your parents". Allegra slowly looked down before taking a piece of bacon and took a bite on the bacon. "good luck, finding them" she whispers. Jessica turned to look at allegra with a confused look. Yolands asked. "where are your parents?". Allegra sigh. "i don't know"
Wildcat: when was the last time you saw them?
Allegra: from what i know, when i was only 6 months old
Jessica turn her body with shock as she used a spatula to pour the eggs on a plate. "really?". Allegra nodded. "yup, i was about to go in foster care. But then my tia and tio appeared last minute and signed up as my legal guardians... But then they died from an attack 8 years ago. Lava came out of the ground in our house. Roasting them, i was just 5 when they died". Jessica cough from her coffee after hearing that
Wildcat: you ok?
Jessica cruz: I'll explain later
Wildcat: so, allegra. Have you been alone all this time?
Allegra shook her head as she took a bite of bacon. "uhh no. I was basically raised by. My last family member". Allegra took out a photo of the girl. Jessica pointed at the photo. "your uncle and aunt had a kid". Allegra nodded. "yes they did. My cousin, esperanza garcia. She was 15 years old when she took me in. She dropped out of school so she can support me. My only family, and here i am. Away from her. Can't imagine what she's going through". Allegra wiped her tears as she looked down
Jessica set down the pan on the stove before walking up and gave allegra a hug. "Lo siento mucho. But this will all be over soon, and you'll be reunited with your cousin". Allegra smiled while wiping her tears
National city:
At a hotel, jade in her security outfit was standing beside a heavy armed truck with dick, nyssa and talia. Dick says "i don't think this is what private security was made"
Cheshire: i am open for anyone. Protecting buildings. Escorting people. Stuff like that
Nightwing: who are we even escorting?
Cheshire: No idea, very private this person is. All i know is that we're escorting her through the city.
Nyssa lean near her sister and asked. "is he ok?". Talia shook her head "he is never ok". Nyssa giggled until the hotel doors opened up, revealing a man with red hair, wearing a black suit, sunglasses covering his eye's. "you must be the cheshire's"
Cheshire: No idea, very private this person is. All i know is that we're escorting her through the city.
Talia: which brings us to question. Why does a person with royalty demanded a private security group for expert?
Bodyguard: ask that to her. Come
The four ninja's followed the guard inside the hotel and walked in the elevator as the doors closed. The guard pressed the penthouse sweet button and just stood right infront of the doors
Bodyguard: the queen ask your company specifically, to transport her and her alone to a conference in central city
Cheshire: flattered that a queen wants us to protect her. But why the cheshire?
Bodyguard: wish i knew
The elevator doors opened up, letting the heroes walked into the hallway, walked toward the door and lightly knock. The heroes heard a voice from the other end "are they here?"
Bodyguard: as you requested
The door opened up, revealing perdita. Making the team look shock "good. I'll like to have a moment with them alone". The four heroes looked at each other before walking into the penthouse. Perdita closed the door and put the chain up. "i am so glad you're here. I mean, not only cheshire is here. But nightwing and the al ghul"
Cheshire: queen perdita, you hired us?
Perdita: yes i did. Thanks again
Nightwing: why us?
Perdita: ok. After the fight in markovia, jessica told me about the missing kids. Meta human kids. I have an announcement in Central City. About the abduction children, hopefully to help the outsiders
Cheshire: Really? and your ok talking to the public
Perdita: your team saved my life, i owe you guys everything
Nyssa: that still doesn't explain why you hired our company?
Perdita: call me paranoid, but i suspect theirs a rat in my security
Nightwing: why do you think that?
Perdita stood up and walked toward the bedroom, she opened one of the drawer beside her bed and took out a container with a small device inside. "still call me paranoid". jade grabbed the box and looks closely. "fuck. This is a bug. Someone is listening to Perdita"
Perdita: i need someone i can trust. And when i heard theirs a private security in national city, called. The cheshire's. I knew you guys were part of it. So i ask you, protect me again
Cheshire: well we have more problems. League of assassin technologies
Talia: our father used that bug when he was part of the injustice league
Nightwing: jake is watching you
Cheshire: alright. We'll help
Nightwing: wait, how'd you get the evidence about the abduction?
Perdita: let's just say being the niece of a evil super villain has it's perks
Down in the alley next to the hotel. The bodyguard that brought the heroes to the penthouse, walked into the alley and see a man hitting a can with a hockey stick. "oh, it's you". The man turned around, revealing sportsmaster. "i thought it was gonna be your wing friend"
Sportsmaster: he has business in santa prisca. He put me incharge. So what you got?
Bodyguard: a little delay. Perdita hired a private security team to escort her to central city
Sportsmaster: what? what private security
Bodyguard: a new company called, the cheshire's
The guard took out his phone and typed in the name, finding a photo of jade infront of the security building, with talia and nyssa standing beside her. He showed the photo to crock, he strapped his hockey stick to his back and looks closely. "wait. Wait wait wait. Oh i know why. I'll deal with this". Sportsmaster walked out of the alley and bumped the guard down. "but bad news to you. Mallus doesn't like loose ends". Sportsmaster took out a hockey puck and pressed the center, making it blink red. Sportsmaster threw the puck back in the alley, landing on the guard as the puck exploded.
Sportsmaster took out his phone and pressed a button. Making a video call, and jake face appeared. "what happened" he asked
Sportsmaster: my oldest is protecting the queen all the way toward central city
Nighthawk: do i need to come and deal with this situation
Sportsmaster: its just a private security team. And my daughter, let me deal with this. It's not the first time i fought them
Nighthawk: good. Call me when it's done
Jake ended the call. Sportsmaster look up at the hotel while laughing evilly
Happy harbour:
At connor and m'gann home, brion was walking around the land. His phone buzzed, took it out of his pocket and opened a message. Seeing his brother gregor, who is still in a coma. Brion punched one of the trees in anger. Leaving a burn mark as he walked away
Connor was watching brion while sitting on the porch. He sigh before standing up and stepped off of the porch and headed toward a motorcycle sitting near the garage. "hey, brion. Can i talked to you?". Brion sigh as he walked up, leaving a trail of burned footprints on the ground.
Brion walked up toward connor and said "what?". Connor opened up a toolbox and says "can't help, but notice your getting a little angry". Brion shooked his head "i am not angry". Connor pointed behind him. Making brion turned around, seeing the burned footprints
Superboy: it's ok if your angry. Your brother in the hospital. Sister missing. And was forced out of your country, I'll be angry too
Brion: what do you know about anger?
Superboy: believe me, i had some anger issues a few years ago. I was made in a test tube. I had a estrange relationship with my biological father. I had no other emotion except anger. But during those dark times. The outsiders saved me and gave me a home. Not only that, but i got adopted by the greatest mother ever. My father finally accepted me as his son. Got friends, and the love of my life. Those people make me happy. I am sure you'll find your peace too
Brion: i do have a family. And i was forced to walk away from them
Superboy: i know. We just need you to find a hobby to lower your temper. Perhaps you can help fix this motorcycle
Brion: can't you just pay someone to fix that vehicle
Superboy: (chuckles) i forgot you don't know what i do. Someone is paying me to fix this vehicle. I run my own auto business here. When i was still in highschool, fixing a motorcycle was actually relaxing. So c'mon, lend a hand
Connor kneel down and started loosing a bolt as brion looked at the bike. "i am not sure how to fix this thing". Connor removed the bolt and says "you never learn how to fi an engine?". Brion shook his head as he sat down beside connor. "when you live in a castle and your royalty, everything is done for you. The helpers bring the cars to get it fix. They make our food. They do our laundry. When i was little, they even helped me brush my teeth". Connor laugh, making brion giggle. "well. It's time you learn".
Brion sigh as he took a wrench and kneel behind connor as he replaced the bolt
National city:
Outfront of the hotel building. Talia and nyssa were guiding perdita toward the truck. Nightwing took out his phone scanned the area, not seeing any heat signatures. "we should be good. Nows the time". Talia opened the back door of her truck and guided perdita in the backseat. She sat in the middle as nyssa crawl in and sat on the left side. Talia closed the door and walked on the other side and sat on the right side of the seat. Dick opened the passenger door and sat down. Jade turned the key, turning the engine on. "alright guys. Here we go"
Nightwing: you sure your ok with going to another city?
Cheshire: my company is welcome for anything
Nightwing: but you have a daughter
Cheshire: and i have two sisters that live with me. I left a message and artemis is picking her up from daycare. She'll be fine
Perdita: thanks again
Cheshire: no problem. Now let's go
Jade pulled out of the outer road and started driving away. Not knowing a van pulled out from the alley across from the hotel and started following them
Cheshire: estimate arrival on central city. 9pm
Perdita: just when the announcement is starting
Dick looked at the side mirror, seeing the van driving toward them. "guys. I think we have visitor". Jade looked at her rearview mirror. Noticing the van. "talia". Talia pressed the back of jade chair and a screen appeared. Making perdita looked confused as talia pressed a button, turning the video camera attach in the back of the truck, recording the van. Talia pressed a couple more buttons, scanning the truck. "that van is loaded with weapons. I can't see the driver though"
Nightwing: uhh i think i have a clue. Look
Jade looked at the rearview mirror. Seeing the van sunroof opening up, where sportsmaster climb through the sunroof. Making jade eyes opened wide with angry expression. "lawrence!" she said through her teeth
Perdita: sportsmaster
Nyssa: shit
Sportsmaster lifted a rocket launcher and rest it on his shoulder as he aim at the back of the truck. "nyssa. Man the defenses". Nyssa jumped on the back of the truck as sportsmaster shot a missile at the truck. Jade quickly turned the truck, dodging the missle. Letting it hit the road, blowing it up.
Nyssa kicked the doors opened. She took out a crossbow and aimed at the van, she shot an heated arrow at the rocket launcher, melting the weapon on sportsmaster hands, burning him up. Sportsmaster scream as he looks at his wounds on his palms. "well. You got some tricks, al ghul". Sportsmaster took out a hockey puck and pressed the center, making it blink red. "shit" nyssa said. Sportsmaster threw the puck near the truck as it exploded. The window glass break, and landed on perdita, making her scream. Talia jump onto perdita, shielding her from the glass.
The blast pushed jade to the left, hitting a couple of cars, breaking her side mirror off. Jade pulled the truck back and yelled "RICHARD. TAKE CARE OF THEM". Dick was looking at his side mirror, seeing sportsmaster laughing as nyssa was holding onto the bar, hanging above the road. "DICK!". Dick continue looking at the fight. "dammit. Im putting the truck on cruise control". Perdita says "This car has a cruise control?"
Jade pressed a button, turning the cruise control on. "talia, take the wheel". Talia grabbed the steering wheel as jade pulled herself through the window and was hanging from the window, using her legs. Jade took out a sai from her back. "take this, dad. She threw the sai at the front tire, making the driver loose control and hit a parked car from the left.
Jade jumped back in the driver seat and grabbed the wheel. Nyssa swung herself back into the back as jade drove away.
Sportsmaster crawl out of the van with two ninja's wearing black armored suits with goggle mask, covering their faces. Sportsmaster took out a phone, seeing a beacon blinking. "ha. Another use for my photon pucks"
National city:
A car parked infront of the crocks house. The driver door opened, revealing artemis. She opened the back door and grabbed lian from her car seat and started walking toward the house. "did you have fun in daycare today?"
Lian: yeah. We made things out of paper
Artemis: oh you were crafting?
Lian: yeah. Look what i made
Lian held up a paper masked that resembles cheshire mask. "it's a mommy mask". Artemis laugh while looking at the mask. "oh i can't wait to see your mom reaction"
Artemis opened the door and walked in. "WE'RE HOME". Artemis walked in the living room. Seeing cassie and halo sitting on the couch with a stack of cards scattered around the table. Halo turn her head and says "oh hello, artemis. Did you had fun at work?"
Artemis: well basically I'm still an intern, but yeah
Artemiz sat lian down on the ground, and she run off while laughing. "jade working late today so i had to pick lian up. Hoe was your day?". Halo says "oh, your sister was teaching me how to play go fish". Halo looked at the cards in her hands. "is this good?". Halo showed her cards to cassie, she took a look at them before throwing her cards in the air and walked away, making artemis laugh. "don't pay attention to her. Cassie a sour loser"
Halo: I'm sorry
Artemis: don't be. Beside she's learning not to cut people when she loses, so that's good. How's your brain? Any memories?
Halo: i had a dream of a rainbow. Is that good
Artemis: that's. A start. Nothing more important
Halo: im sorry, but not really. Can you take me to a head doctor?
Artemis: those are neurologist. And no, we don't have any record of you. Beside if i take a meta human to the doctors. It won't end good. If your not having any of your memories, i have an idea on where to take you
In gotham city, artemis and halo were walking in a hallway of a apartment building and knock on a door. The door was opened by zatanna. "hey, artemis. Good to see you". Artemis gave zee a hug. "hey. I'm glad your here". Artemis took a step back, revealing halo to zee
Zatanna: the meta-human you saved in markovia
Artemis: she has no memories of her life
Zatanna: did you scanned her in the league database?
Artemis: yes, and we came up empty. No birth certificate, no School ID. not even dental records. She literally doesn't exist
Zatanna: that's impossible
Artemis: i know. I was wondering if you can help her
Zatanna: sorry. I don't have that kind of magic. But i think i know someone that could help
Later in the kitchen. Halo was sitting on the kitchen table infront of zatanna step-mother, xanadu, who was laying some candles on the table, with a glyph drawn in the center of the table. "alright halo, are you ready?". Halo nodded
Xanadu grabbed halo hand and started speaking backwards "Laever ot em siht gnuoy lrig seiromem". Both halo and xanadu eyes glowed white. Seeing themselve in halo subconscious, a white room with smoke on the ground
Halo: where are we
Xanadue: your subconscious, halo. Its where we can try to retrieve your memories
Halo: where are my memories?
Xanadu: good question. Oh this way
Xanadu guided halo toward a white door at one of the walls. Halo slowly opened the door, seeing a small broken down village. Where a group of soldiers were running around while shooting as villagers were running around. Halo gasp when a muslim men fell down with bullets in his chest, killing him. Halo look up, seeing herseld hiding behind a couple of barrels, hugging a middle age muslim woman. She grabbed halo face and kissed her head. Halo quickly closed the door. "could that be my mother"
Xanadu: you were a lot younger right there. This is something
Halo: it still doesn't help
Halo turn her head, seeing another door being made from the smoke. She slowly walked up and opened the door, seeing herself chained to a table, with her mouth gagged. Jake slowly walked up toward her "how is this one doing?". A man in the shadow walked up while injecting halo with the meta chemical in her veins. "patient, my liege. This one meta powers haven't been activated yet"
Nighthawk: well you better figure out a way to activate them. If not, get rid of her
Halo quickly closed the door again while taking a deep breath. "i don't want to see anymore". Xanadue says "halo, i know this is tough for you. But these memories can help. We just need to see more". Xanadue pointed at the next door. Halo slowly granbed a hold of the handle and opened the door. Seeing the fight of herself, allegra, and brion against jake. Xanadue watches, seeing jake wings stretching out, revealing small glyph on his wings, glowing red. Making xanadue looked confused. Halo closed the door "i remember that one well"
Xanadue: their is still one more left
Halo notice the last door on the last wall, she slowly walked up and opened the door. Seeing a white figure standing in a blue blowing tunnel. The person walked up, revealing blue hair. "who's that? Who are you?".
Xanadu started to feel vibration on the floor, she look up seeing the roof starting to break. "halo, we gotta go". Halo still looking at the door, said "i haven't seen the person yet". Xanadu grabbed halo hand, turning her around and grabbed her head as both of their eyes glowed white
Halo eyes opened up, seeing herself back in zatanna house. She stood up while breathing heavy. Xanadu grabbed her head in pain as she stood up and walked out of the kitchen, seeing zatanna and artemis standing beside the tv
Artemis: so?
Xanadu: i went in her subconscious and her memories are nowhere in sight. I only could get a handful of her old memories. One is during your fight against jake. Then one in some kind of poor country. Then a mysterious figure with blue hair was deep in her subconscious. Something special about that figure
Artemis: fid you find her lost memories
Xanadu: we didn't have time. Her memories were broken silvery. I don't even know if we can fix her memories. We just have to wait
Artemis sigh before walking into the kitchen, seeing Halo putting on headphones, and pressing a button, turning a cassette tape on. "Uhh," artemis pulled the headphones away from her ear. "Where'd you get that?"
Halo: i found it in one of the boxes in your attic, labeled mother. Your mother wouldn't mind right?
Artemis shed a tear while looking down. "no. You can have it. She loved that tape". Halo smiled while looking at the tape
Artemis: hey. Are you ok from the whole thing
Halo: you know what. I'm strangely fine, even though i don't have my memories, i had a glimpse of them. I have a mom. And that person with the hair. That person is special, i need to find whoever that is
Artemis: aslong as your here. I'm gonna help you
Halo gave a smile to artemis
National city, junkyard
Jade parked the truck in the middle of a junkyard. Nyssa opened the backdoor, but the hinges broke off, letting the door fell down. Nyssa stepped out of the truck while using a device to scan the area. "not getting anyone signature. We're good".
Dick stepped out of the truck and started to stretch, but jade crawl over the passenger seat and pushed dick to the ground. "what the hell dick!?". Dick slowly stand up as his hat fell off of his head
Nightwing: sorry
Cheshire: sorry doesn't cut it. I saw you during the attack. You froze back there
Nightwing: no i didn't
Cheshire: i asked you to take out that van. But you didn't move
Nightwing: ok, your right. I should've head to my lead on my own
Cheshire: you know, your getting worse you know that? you have a lead on the missing children. You could've go to our old teammates, but you didn't. You went straight to me, and your about to bail on me
Talia: us actually
Nightwing: i wasn't bailing on them
Cheshire: both my sisters are part of the outsiders. Artemis talks to zatanna
Dick slowly looked down as jade shook her head and removed her security hat. "zatanna said you haven't been home for over a week. That is your fucking wife. You both knew each other since you were 13"
Nightwing: what do you expect. I found out my son is a meta terrorist, weaponizing innocent kids
Cheshire: he's possessed, dick
Nightwing: we don't know a thing about him. I can't watch my son ruining my family life's. What am i saying, you don't know what I'm talking about
Cheshire: (sigh) your right. I dont know what your going through. My daughter is just 3 years old, but i come from a dysfunctional family. My father is a sociopath who ruined my family lifes. Abused my little sister. And abducted cassie away from me. And then theirs mom... My mom... My daughter is the only thing that keeps me from doing what your doing. You still have friends, a family. Batman took you in when your family died. You have a sister and brother. Connor, m'gann, jessica, wally. And you have a fucking wife who put up with your bullshit all the time. You think i had that growing up. I left home to protect artemis and my mom. I had no one, no friends, no family. No home. But you do. And your pushing them away because of your fucking ego!
Dick looked at jade with shock as she was wiping the tears from her eyes. "you wanna walk away, fine. Go ahead, but i know when i need help. I'm gonna continue what I'm hired to do. From a friend. Who has info to help the outsiders. And you know something? I always have nightmares about what happens to lian if jake gets her. But thats the perk on having a team". Jade walked toward the truck and yells "lets go. Perdita, in the passenger seat that has a door". Jade opened the passenger door, letting perdita on the seat. "what about nightwing?". Jade shook her head before closing the door. "he's not coming".
Jade jumps in the driver seat as talia and nyssa jumped in the backseat. Jade turned the truck on and drove away. Dick looks at his team driving away before sitting down. He notice his gauntlet blinking, he opened his holographic computer

The assistant director yelled "ok we go live in 5... 4... 3... 2... 1". The director looked at a second screen, looking at the woman when a narrator was speaking. "and here our favorite anchorwoman. Cat grant"
Cat grant: thanks Vic. Today we have special guest star. Leader of the outsiders. Miss martian
M'gann slowly walked on the stage and looked at the camera before sitting on the couch that was beside cat desk. "nice to have you here, miss martian"
Miss martian: glad to be here
Cat grant: so miss martian, i think my first question is everyone in the entire world. What happened back in markovia. Were you even aware about markovia history on meta-humans?
Miss martian: i am aware, but what we were doing at markovia is a lead on the missing children
Cat grant: are you talking about the abduction around the united states?
Miss martian: yes. I know everybody thinks the outsiders are monsters. But we were trying to save children
Cat grant: miss martian, i wanna believe you. Hell we all did, but someone recorded the attack, and you're ship was destroying the markov party
Miss martian: we were set up. By the terrorist, malcolm merlyn AKA dark archer. And he wasn't alone. True, my own ship did the damage. But what we seen at markovia, it affect us. My team. And what people are saying about my team is wrong. Sure this mission didn't end well, and we're being accused on taking the princess, but what about the last 8 years my team has saved this team. The injustice league, brainiac. We done everything to save this world and one bad mission made the world turn on us. What's going to happen now? are we just gonna go in hiding?

Cat grant: that is a wonderful speech from the heart
Miss martian: it is. And this last message is for markovia, she will be returned home safe. Together, as a team

Sportsmaster: brenda. Find the queen, it's time i get some of that father and daughter time i missed
The fourth goon "brenda" ran away as sportsmaster took out his hockey stick, he twirl it around his back while he chuckle. "how the mighty have fallen. One of the most deadly assassin has become a worthless security officer". Jade shook her head as she twirl her sai "i have become something better. A mother and a sister. And you made one into a orphan".
Sportsmaster: you might love this, she didn't beg for her life and took her own for my granddaughter. But i can't say i don't miss her, she was good in bed
Jade with anger run up before throwing one of her sai. Sportsmaster used his hockey stick to block the sai. He run up and tried to hit jade, but she grabbed the stick over her head, and kicked him in the stomach

Angelina says "and the queen has just arrive". Perdita handed dick the crossbow and walked through the crowd and jumped on the stage, she stood infront of the table mic and adjucted the mix to her level before talking. "i would've made this announcement at the united nation in new york city. But this is where meta-humans were born so i thought this should be here. I know you all think outsiders were the caused of the attack on markovia and the disappearance of the princess. But I'm here to say, that you all are wrong". The people started to murmur in the crowd
Perdita: their is a secret organization about the abduction that been increasing these last few months
Perdita turn her head to look at the screen behind her and pressed the button that was on the table. Revealing photos on the screen, seeing video footage of jess chambers abduction. Making a couple in the crowd made a sad expression as the wife buried her head in her husband neck. "this is footage of a non-binary teenager that was abducted last month"
Perdita: you have been so focus on the outsiders that you didn't even thought about the missing children. This goes way deeper than the justice league fought.
Perdita pressed another button, showing photos of the abandoned hospital. "here is where some of the children were taken. I used my resources as the queen to get these photo's". Perdita opened another photo, revealing a group of scientist in the lab, with merlyn standing in the middle, smiling. Making the crowd gasp. "you can see, malcolm merlyn is part of the organization". Chen raised her hand "yes"
Angelina chen: this all seems impressive. But why are you protecting the outsiders?
Perdita: the outsiders, especially their green lantern risked their life's to make sure i get my heart replacement and to the right hospital. So i guess you can say, i am fond of them
Dick smiled in the crowd. "the outsiders are a beacon of hope. Become who you want to be, and i believe the outsiders can find these children. The outsiders did not caused this. But wherever these children are. They're gonna need a sanctuary where they can feel safe. So as queen of vlatava and an ally of the outsiders. I bought two buildings area a couple blocks away and it'll turn into a youth center where the missing children can feel safe and get the help they might need". A man in the crowd walked into the shadows and disappeared
Perdita: trust the outsiders like i trust them. Thank you
Back in the bridge. Jade kicked sportsmaster to the ground while holding his hockey stick. "your punches gotten stronger". he said to jade. She grabbed the stick and broke it in half with her knee. "you made me stronger, father. And I'm not holding back with you".

Leaving a burnt mark on the ground around him. Jake said in a echoing voice "you failed me"
Jake wings flapped up and down, floating up in the air. He levitated the three meta-humans in the air. "you all failed me". Jake removed the mask off of their heads. Revealing three teenagers. Jade whispers "the missing kids"
Jake clench his fist. And the meta-humans glowed orange as energy started coming out of their bodies and floated inside jake body. He sigh as his black veins disappeared. "yes. Yes".
Cheshire: HE'S KILLING THEM
Nyssa shot an arrow at jake, but his wings blocked the arrow. The meta-human started to shriveled while turning pale. The energy continue floating inside jake body. He opened his mouth as bright yellow balls came out of their bodies and were absorbed inside jake. The bodies fell down on the ground while smoking. Jake floated down while laughing. "i feel. Stronger, these meta-humans are incredible". Jake used his molecularkinesis to pull sportsmaster in his grasp, starting to choke him. "y-you won't take my life"
Nighthawk: i don't want your energy. You don't have any powers. But since you gotten most of my army, i will say this. If i ever seen you again. You're soul is mine

Dick walked in the assembly room, wearing his nightwing uniform. "it's been a while for most of you." Artemis crossed her arms with a frustrated look
Nightwing: i know all of you have been mad at me these past few days. I am asking for your help, then abandon you with three meta-humans we saved together. I have been selfish. When i was keeping secrets on kaldur deep cover mission. I hurt the outsiders. The experience made me nervous about working with a team again. But i realize i can't do this alone. I need to save these kids. With the outsiders help. Will you please help me?
M'gann walked up to dick and smiled. "All you have to do is ask." She said before giving dick a hug. He looked up, seeing zatanna looking down with a hurt expression. He let go of m'gann and walked toward zatanna. "zee, can i talk to you?"
Zatanna: Now you wanna talk. I had no idea you were feeling this way, and you couldn't talk to me about it
Nightwing: i was so wrong not telling you. And when i saw jake, i thought i should do this alone
Zatanna: You're not the only one who wants to save him. But I'm mainly concerned about you
Nightwing: i know it was wrong to not tell you
Zatanna: And?
Nightwing: and for not coming home for a week... Can you forgive me?
Zatanna: it's going to take some time, richard
Nightwing: the rest of your life, ok?
Zatanna laugh before giving dick a kiss. Diana walked up and says "so why did you need me here?". Dick pulled away from zatanna and says "well we might need you to watch over the meta-humans we rescued. And we also could use an amazon help"
Wonder woman: I'll help, but if anyone is certain. Wonder woman is gone
Nightwing: thanks
