Renegade and Rebel

Threat

Renegade's POV

I crouched down next to Rebel, she informed me that the young justice league is here. I was hoping no one would interfere but we can work around this. I voiced my opinion to Rebel before setting up my sniper, I could distract them and cover for Rebel. I watched Rebel stand up and walk away, I then heard her climb down the side of the fire exit. I kept an eye out for Sam and Tom or the young justice league. I recalled information on their team and was thankful for the shadows cover. I peeked over my shoulder to see the Wayne enterprise building, still no sign of anyone. 

The young justice league started making their way closer to the building, I wouldn't shoot them just yet. I carefully watched them position themselves in the surrounding alleyways, ready to pounce when the alarm went off. But it wouldn't. I need a distraction to get the kiddy leagues attention away from the Wayne building. I looked down the street to see a group of drunk men walking this way. I turned my rifle to them and shot them once in the head. When his friends realized he had been shot, they started yelling. I glanced over to see the kiddy league gain interest and look at the group of men. I shot another one of them in the head. 

I heard someone climb up the building. I turned to see two boys duck into the shadows. 
"Tom, Sam, Good job," I told them, I glanced at the group of men and shot the rest dead. 
"How do you know us?!" One growled at me, pointing a knife in my direction. It had fresh blood.
"A friend and I were sent to cover your backs" I glared at him, he put the knife away.
"really? well couldn't you have stopped the hero from interfering?" the other said as he stepped forward. Sam, I remember Rebel telling me the difference between them. Where is she?
"Which hero? none of them came near you" I said, in a flash, I looked over the side of the building to see Rebel, bleeding out on the ground. I turned to the two boys and grabbed my pistol, shooting them both in the legs before jumping down to help Rebel.

"No no no no" I mumbled as I got to her, they had sliced her throat. I ripped my cape off before folding it and covering her wound, putting pressure on it. Rebels eyes drifted to look at me
"Don't say anything, I'm here, you're going to be okay" I told her. I could hear Tom and Sam cry out in pain, I watched as the young justice league took care of them. I did the only other thing I could think of and contacted Slade.
"The mission has been compromised, they attacked Rebel, the young justice league has them now. Rebel stay with me!" I pleaded. 

"Oh my god, guys!" I looked up to see Miss Martian fly my way, she had found us. I looked back at Rebel, she raised her hand and caressed my cheek. Her mouth opened to say something but no words came. I could hear sirens in the distance, my body itched to run away but I stayed. 
"Come on, hang on a little longer," I told her then looked up to see the team beside me. Rebel's hand dropped from my face, I looked at her to see her eyes fluttering closed.
"Rebel. Look at me, look at me! don't give up, come on rebel, please! just a bit longer" I begged.

Through the chaos, Rebel survived. She was rushed to hospital and I was taken in by Batman for questioning. Slade hadn't responded to me through the comms. I was more focused on Rebel's survival. Batman tried asking me questions but I refused to answer him until I knew Rebel was okay.
