What Goes Around Comes Around( A Young Justice Fanfiction)

Chapter 18

Caroline

We took the bioship and flew over the yacht my father and his crew were on, Aqualad and Miss Martain swam through the bay to enter the ship from below. I was determined, I wanted him defeated, I wanted the heroes safe. The heroes and I don't agree on how to protect innocent people, but we all have the same goals. My father's beliefs regarding natural selection are flawed and psychotic, they only benefit those who seek to hurt others for personal gain.

"Closing in on the target." Artemis broke my train of thought.

"Caroline, I get you have personal issues with this man but please, let us take him into custody." Dick turned to speak to me.

"I won't kill him, but I can't promise a bullet won't cripple him." Jason squeezed my shoulder. He was my rock, he would stop me from doing something I would regret. Dick narrowed his eyes but nodded.

"We can't ask you to change all your ways I guess." Dick sighed, obviously disappointed. 

"Yes, we can!" Superboy spoke up, obviously opinionated. I whipped my head towards him.

"I said I wouldn't fatally injure him, what more do you want from me," I spoke with a level tone, trying to figure out his thoughts.

"I want Puffin. Not the assassin you've become." This made me angry.

"I'm not Puffin anymore!" I stood up and made my way toward him, Red tried grabbing my arm but I only shook him off. "I'm not the same little girl you once knew, I may have forgiven you, but I am not your family. Like it or not I am an assassin, I am a vigilante. That's not changing."

I was in his face at this point. "When this whole shit show is over we can part ways and you can try your damnedest to put me in jail for my crimes."

Conner didn't flinch, he didn't move, just just stood there, arms crossed.

"Do I make myself clear?" 

"Yeah." He huffed. I took my seat and in a few more minutes we were in the drop zone over Demons yacht.

*We're in position, waiting on your signal.* Miss Martains voice cut through my thoughts.

*Copy that Miss M* Nightwing then turned to me.

"We'll follow you." I nodded. 

"Bioship, open the hatch. Engage autopilot." Trigress rose from the control console and joined the rest of us near the open hatch. We all used grapple lines to lower onto the roof and sides of the boat. It seemed abandoned. 

*Alright Miss Martain, we've made contact, proceed onto the lower decks, we'll meet on the bridge. Red and I will subdue Demon, Miss M and Aqualad will be coming from below to sweep all the lower levels.* We scaled the side of the boat, disabling any cameras or motion sensors and sending them on a loop.

*SB, Trigress, and Nightwing will take out any league assassins so that he has no back up.*

*We want to subdue every league member on board, the goal is to lock them all up.* Nightwing added.

*Copy that, Miss Martain and I have captured every member on the lower deck.*

*All the cameras are on our mainframe, running in a loop of the last thirty minutes.*

I nodded. We proceeded to take down and restrain every assassin in sight, making our way to the bridge. I was ready, I was determined.

We reached the door that had our target on the other side. I nodded for Tigress, Superboy and Kaldur to enter. They subdued the assassins on the otherside of the door. Miss Martian phased in and knocked out the assassins directly to either side of Demon.

Red and I entered guns drawn pointed directly at my father.

"Hamasa(Whisper)" He spoke my name with such distaste.

"Shaytan.(Demon)" I spoke back the language of shadows.

*You speak Arabic?* I ignored the comment from Nigthwing.

"Dear daughter what is this? Teaming up with the children who abandoned you? You can't be that stupid." He spoke in a condescending tone.

"I am not your child."

"We are blood whether you like it or not." He sneered.

"All your men are down, surrender and I'll reconsider inserting this bullet into your spine." I made my point by cocking my weapon.

"You're a silly silly girl. They are what's wrong with the world! They disrupt balance, with these heroes there is no order." He yelled. "Join me again, and all your sins will be forgiven in the eyes of the Demons Head."

"I don't need forgiveness, I have no regrets." I hated this delusional idea he had that heroes are the reason there's no balance. "I've agreed not to kill you, I'm going to take you into custody and you'll rot in prison."

He sighed, and lifted his hands to his head. I kept my eyes focused on Elijah but nodded to Red, we kept our guns trained on him but proceeded to step towards him. That was when I noticed his hand next to an ear piece.

"Haliaan(Now)" 

"NO!" It was then that shadows fell from ducts in the ceiling, capturing my team, electricuting M'gann. They had a collar for Superboy. This was a trap, they knew we'd be here.

I had pulled the trigger right as I felt a blow to the back of my head.

I felt myself fall everything around me in slow motion. I saw Jason being restrained. I fought to stay awake, Jason was yelling for me but it was all noise in my head. My vision faded in and out, becoming blurry. Moving my head just enough to see my shot had missed its target. 

I failed.

I led my team into a trap.

I stayed conscious just long enough to see my father loom over me. "Too bad you'll have to suffer the same fate as your mother."

With that he struck me in the head again, and everything went black.

Jason

Everything happened so fast I didn't have time to process what had happened. Assassins jumped down from the ceiling and broke threw the glass, and the next thing I knew Caroline was knocked out on the floor, all my back up restrained. My body was limp when I realized I had been paralyzed. I yelled and screamed for Caroline to wake up but she was gone, in the hands of her father.

I was knocked unconscious and the next thing I knew I was waking up in a hospital bed. I looked over to see Bruce sitting in the chair next to my bed. I tried moving but I was numb.

"The drugs are wearing off, you won't be paralyzed for much longer." His voice was sad, I didn't even need to ask, I knew what the answer to my question was. I had to ask anyway.

"Caroline..." Tears filled my eyes. Bruce had a grim look I had only seen a few times from him.

"We don't know. She's missing."

They didn't find her. They were to late.
