Damian's POV

We managed to locate Nettie and Cesaire and we're currently on our way to rescue them via the bioship. At the helm was Zatanna. "We're almost there so be on your guard." she warned us. We got closer and closer until we found a run down laboratory.

We landed, hidden among the groove of trees that created the forest that surrounded the building, keeping it hidden. Zatanna camouflaged the bioship before we departed and moved into action. It was currently dark outside giving us the advantage to sneak in unnoticed.

But as we were about to enter the lab, the ground shook briefly before a great beam of green and black light shot up through the middle of the lab and into the sky like a beacon. What the.. The light soon faded and the hole it created gave us an entrance to the building without us having to do so.

Zatanna levitated us while Kent flew to the top of the building and we landed inside on the ground. We peered down through the hole and investigated. "From what I can see, it's quite a ways down from here. Wait- I hear fighting!" Superboy said. The ground shook once again as the building started to crumble.

Suddenly, something blasted out from underground and through the roof. As the smoke cleared, it was revealed to be Klarion floating in the air. "Ah great, now the rest of the stupid heroes are here." Someone else emerged from the hole in the ground created, two people.

"Hmm, took you guys long enough." Cesaire landed on the ground, jumping out of the other person's grip. The smoke fully cleared and it revealed a girl dressed in a black suit, her hair done in a long ponytail reaching the floor, a black mask over her eyes and cat ears on her head.

"Thanks Net." And that's when we realised it was Nettie. "No probs, Als." We were about to go over to her but she stretched out her arm stopping us. Klarion launched another attack at her and with one simple swipe of her hand, it was destroyed.

What..What was this power? She launched off the ground and met Klarion in the sky. "Kid Flash, get Ms. Cesaire to the bio ship. Robin, keep an eye on her. Superboy, you're with me. I need to check on something." Zatanna instructed. She and Kent went down to where Nettie, Cesaire and Klarion emerged from underground and Cesaire was escorted out of the building.

Up in the air, Nettie and Klarion were going at it but...I think she was winning. She managed to get a kick in, lifting her leg and swiftly swinging down upon his head, crashing the witch boy into the dirt. He got up and dusted himself off only to turn around and see Nettie holding a big black sphere in the palm of her hand.

"This is the end, witchboy. I'll end you like I did the dinosaurs." She smirked, her voice sounding a bit...like a little boy. She blasted downward, the sphere in front of her aimed at the witchboy. She made contact with the ground and the impact was intense. Dirt, trees, debris from the lab crumbled around the impact.

I was caught in it and was pushed back when Kent grabbed me before I flew away. Zatanna created a magic shield and placed it around us until the explosion died down. When it did, an enormous sinkhole in the ground was left and Nettie was at the centre of it but Klarion wasn't.

The three of us made our way over to Nettie and stopped inches away from her. "Sh*t...I went overboard and I didn't even kill the witchboy. Disappointing. And just as...m-my time is up.." She muttered before swaying. I stepped forward and caught her, her costume disappearing slowly from her feet up.

She had passed out. I picked her up in my arms and Zatanna instructed that we return to the bioship. We were on our way back when Nettie awoke. "*hisses in pain* What..happened..?" Cesaire immediately came to her side and so did Kent and Kid Flash. "We were taken by Klarion. But we're okay now. The team came to save us."

Nettie looked around then she screamed. "You guys are still here!? What did you do to me, you crazy black cat!?" she questioned the seemingly blank air. "Who are you talking to..?" Kid Flash questioned. "Wait- you can't see them.."

Tikki: Don't worry Marinette. We can fix that.

All of a sudden I felt a cold tap on my forehead and soon I saw a flying creature in front of my face. A little flying black...cat... The f*ck. "Now everyone can see us, kid." the cat said before flying back over to Nettie to sit on her head. "Now, do you have any food? I'm starving." The whole ship was silent after that.

We arrived back to the base, Marinette leaning on Kent's shoulder trying to stand up straight as she had not fully recovered yet. We sat her down on the couch as her bodyguard greeted her like a whining mother figure. The black cat made himself at home, flying around the building and phasing through the walls like a ghost.

The other one, which seemed to be a ladybug, to my best assumption, tapped the bodyguard's forehead and he briefly screeched. Nettie and Cesaire laughed and that's when her boyfriend almost flew down the stairs with the black cat at his side to give her a tight embrace.

All was well, until I felt an arm around my neck and a hand ruffling my hair. "Todd, stop it! Before I cut your arm off!" He chuckled, removing himself. "Hey pixie, nice to see you're okay. You too Alya." he said making his way over to them. I was then met by my father and Grayson.

"Hey Lil'D, how was the mission?" I 'tch' at him and looked over at father. "Is there a reason you're both not suited up, including Todd?" He nodded. "We have a field trip later to a ball. We were all invited of course so we have the day off. Timmy's at home getting ready."

I sighed, removing my mask as Nettie made her way over. "The ball..are you referring to the one being held later by Lex Luthor?" Todd hummed, placing a hand on her head. "Yup the one and only. Wait- are you going?" She sighed, "I got an invite a week ago but with all that's been going on, I don't think that's a good idea. Alya, Nino, Luka and Kagami would just go without me."

Alya: Hold on a sec girl, there's no way we're going if you're not. How about a sleepover party. We haven't done that in a while.

Marinette: Hmm. I don't mind. Nino?

Nino: *sighs* I'll tell the others...

Alya/Marinette: Yes!

Zatanna: Just to be safe Virgil, Jonathan, Eduardo, Bart and Cassandra will be joining you if that's alright.

Alya: Sure, that's fine with me.

Bruce: Damian, join them.

Damian: What- Why!?

Bruce: Because it'll be fun and you need to hang out with other kids your age outside of superhero work. I'll tell Alfred to pack your bags.

Damian: *groans* Fine...
