No One's Pov

"Team report to the mission room." Batman's voice ordered over the comm. system.

Within a few minutes the entire team was ready for whatever mission Batman was going to assign. "This is Nickolas O'Sullivan ." He said, bringing up an image of an aging old man with graying hair. "A prominent member of the British Parliament and a strong supporter of global disarmament. He will be attending a charity gala tonight in a New York hotel to deliver a speech, we have reason to believe that the League of Shadows have been hired to assassinate him while at the gala. The team will be going undercover in order to prevent this." Shutting the screens off he gave out everyone's assignments.

"Aqualad you will be coordinating efforts from a secured hotel room, Superboy will be posing as one of the hotel's security officers, Kid Flash will be a waiter, and the rest of you will be attending as guests. Your disguises are in your rooms, get dressed and ready in 10."

"How come I have to be a waiter?" Wally asked the others as they walked back to their rooms to get changed.

"We need to have eye everywhere, being a waiter will allow you to observe to see if anyone has tampered with Nickolas' food." Derek explained.

"You think they might poison him?" Robin asked. "Doesn't seem like the Shadow's style."

"From what I've seen of Shadow assassin's behaviors I would agree, but we need to cover all angles on this."

"How would you recommend that we proceeded when we arrive?" Kaldur asked, wishing to get some insight from the assassin.

Derek frowned a little, he didn't want to be in charge, but he had to admit he was the team member with the most experience regarding assassination techniques. "I'll have to see the layout of the building, how many people will be there and what type of person Nickolas is."

"Why's that important?" Conner asked.

"If he's an open person he's going to be walking around and talking to people, that makes it easier to get close to him, if he's guarded the assassin will have to use more elaborate measures to kill him." Derek explained.

"We will gladly accept any insight you can provide us." Kaldur said.

"Well we better get dressed; the gala starts in three hours." Robin said.

Derek went to the Zeta Tube and got back to his base and he changed into a suit.
