"I miss Brucely," Artemis says as they walk through the Zeta-Tube.
"Speaking of property, do you want to go get it, or we can ask Will and Jade," Dick says as they arrive in the police box.
"My dog is not property, he is family," Artemis says angrily.
"I know, and I'm not saying he isn't, but when you adopted him you gave money to the shelter, thus legally he is property."
"Okay," Artemis sighs before continuing, "Is Wolf authorized to go through the Zeta-Tube?"
"Wolf and Sphere, I can override it so we can take Brucely through the Zeta-Tube," Dick confirms.
"Okay, let's call Megan and Connor."
Dick takes his phone out and videos their friends.
"Hey Dick, how is everything going?" Connor answers.
"We need you guys to Zeta to Star City, and bring Wolf," Dick says.
"Are we going on a mission, because Black Lightning didn't call us?" Megan asks joining them.
"Yes and no," Artemis replies.
Connor and Megan give a confused look.
"Grant has been tracking Artemis with a necklace, he found us at Wayne Tech, the lawyer there helps us when our secret identities need legal advice."
"But why do we need Wolf?"
"Artemis needs to get her property, we want to try to get it without the authorities."
"I want to get Brucely, at least," Artemis says.
"And you want us to bring Wolf in case he tries to not let you leave," Connor realizes.
"Exactly," Artemis says.
"We'll meet you tomorrow," Megan says.
"Okay, see you tomorrow," Dick says.
"I hope he didn't do anything to Brucely," Artemis says as they use the police box and Zeta-Tube back to the apartment.
"A dog's instinct is to defend themselves when threatened."
"Right," Artemis takes a breath.
The next day Dick and Artemis arrive in Star City before their friends.
"Are you sure you want to do this without the authorities?" Dick asks.
"I at least want my dog."
"Superboy, D-09, Miss Martian, B-05," the Zeta-Tube reads.
"Let's go," Dick says.
As they walk to the house Dick sees posters for Haly's circus. Dick turns his head, trying to hide his tears.
"Hey, we will talk about it when we get home, right now let's focus on getting Brucely," Artemis says.
"Right, mission first," Dick refocuses.
They arrive at the house.
"Wolf, side," Connor commands his animal.
Dick knocks on the door.
"So, you came back for round two, both of you," Grant says opening the door.
"No, we came for Artemis' dog," Dick says, seeing how scared she is to talk.
"What do you mean her dog, sure she brought the dog, but now it's my dog," Grant smiles.
"Brucely," Artemis calls, finally able to talk.
The dog rushes over and starts growling.
"Wolf, guard," Connor says.
Wolf gets in front of them.
"Brucely, it's me," Artemis puts her hand out.
Brucely growls at her.
"Careful Artemis," Dick says.
Brucely starts barking.
"Brucely?" Artemis asks.
"He isn't your dog anymore, and you aren't getting anything back," Grant says before closing the door.
Artemis starts to cry.
"Don't worry Artemis, we will get Brucely and all your property back, we just have to wait for Jacob to do his job," Dick says.
"Okay," Artemis says.
"I'm going to take her home, we will keep you updated," Dick says to their friends.
Megan and Connor nod as they return to the police booth and Zeta-Tube back to their homes.
