A/N: I AM SO SORRY! I just realized that I somehow skipped a chapter with Kent Nelson that I never intended to do and I will do that chapter but it will be out of order again so sorry!!
I was currently watching Dick and Aqualad fighting it out while Captain Marvel ate a chocolate bar and Zatara watch them fight as well. "You know they're dating right?" I whisper walking over to the two as Megan and Conner walk in with Wolf, it was only a matter of time.
"I think I knew before them," admits Aqualad.
"Do we tell them?" asks Robin referring to Wally and Artemis who I totally ship with their love-hate relationship.
"It is not our place," answers Aqualad as Wally came over and asks,
"so if Zatara is our new babysitter of the week why is he still here? And why is he eating my snacks?" he questions and we all look over at Captain Marvel who was shoving his face when Batman came in.
"Computer national news," he demands and a screen flashs on.
"The initial attack was short lived but Metropolis was only granted a short reprieve and despite the efforts of the Superman and the Justice League there seems to be no end to this sight," reports the newscaster as Karma counters some vines with his own vines, showing off as normal, I think to myself as he flexes and then saves some girls. "We should get out there," states Wally pointing out the obvious.
"No the League will soon have the situation under control, that's not why I'm here. According to your intel Sportsmaster supplied Cadmus Block Buster formula to Kobra," he said pulling up a picture of the evil gym teacher.
"Who combined it with Bane's venom to make Korbra venom," I add.
"Which the Brain used to create his animal army," lists Robin.
"And upgrade wolf," smiles Conner patting Wolf.
"The Brain also used inhibitor collars like the one's at Belle Reve penitentiary," explains Megan.
"Batman is possible that those plant thingies are made of Kobra venom too?" asks Artemis.
"I had Green Lantern run a spot analysis, the vines cellulose does contain trace amounts of Kobra venom in it," he informs.
"These cannot be coincidences unrelated criminals cooperating together worldwide," observes Aqualad.
"Exactly, it's clear that our enemies have formed some kind of secret society of super villains. The attack on Metropolis is only the beginning," he murmurs.
"Got that right, plant creatures have sprouted in Gotham City, Paris, Star City, Taipei,-" I was cut off by the TV picking up snow. "Robin?" I ask.
"It's not you someone's cutting the satellite, all satellite signals," he said taking over the controls.
"Ladies and gentlemen we interrupt your regular scheduled mayhem to bring you this important announcement from the Injustice League," laughs the Joker like the crazy person he was as he flips the camera and the first person I spot was my brother.......Zeke. "We are responsible for the attacks on your cities if you wish to save them a ransom of ten billion American dollars is required. The delivery instructions have been sent to the United Nations, and there is no time limit. But the longer your government's wait....," he trails off and the Joker finishes for him.
"The more we get to have our jollies," challenges the Joker as the screen went dark.
"Count Vertigo, The Joker, Poison Ivy, Ultra-Humanite, Atomic Skull, Black Atom, Wotan and Black Fang eight heavy hitters. Probably behind everything and everyone we faced," repeats Robin looking back over the video.
"There's your secret society," remarks Wally.
"Not so secret anymore," groans Artemis.
"Maybe after India, they realized we would figure the truth out and saw no point in hiding anymore," I suggest still distracted by my 'brother'.
"Yea?! Well, that was there mistake and I say we go kick some plant creature butt," declares Wally slamming his fist into his hand.
"The Justice League will handle the plants, I have a different job for this team," interrupts Batman. I ignore Artemis and Wally as she hits him for complaining.
"With the plants attacking so many locations simultaneously there must be a central control system, your mission is to destroy it," he coaxes.
"You realize what you are asking them to do?" questions Zatara walking over.
"They're ready," was his reply.
"Ready? Ready for what?" asks Wally and I mentally face palm so many times my head started to hurt, can't he use his head as efficient as his stomach? I mean his legs are faster than his thought process, I mentally groan to myself. "Hello, Wally! If the big guns are fighting plants where do you think we'll be fighting?" snaps Artemis sarcastically and Wally finally catches on. Zatara found the hideout with magic and I was so caught up in the moment and ready for action that I willingly ran onto the bio-ship only to have major regrets when we take off. I stop groaning long enough to look up from the floor and find a duffel bag. "What's in the bag?" I falter.
"Plan B," was his reply and then Megan starts groaning in pain.
"Dizzy," she spoke.
"What a Martian getting air sick I though only Kate did that," jokes Robin.
"She does look greener than usual."
"Not me her," she slurs.
"I feel fine and this is normal for Kate," roasts Artemis and I slam my head on the floor trying to kick the motion sickness.
"Not them the bio-ship she's trying to shield us," explains Megan. Something hit us and hard and since I was on the floor with no seat belt I went fly all over the place until Aqualad wraps his arms around my waist and held on. We land in the swamp and I was uninjured because of Aqualad. "Thanks," I say trying to get my balance and then Black Atom rips through the roof and Superboy punches him back because he was hurting Megan and the ship. "No, no way am I nearly drowning three missions in a row," chokes Artemis pulling out an air tube and handing one to Wally and myself. I put it in and tried my best to move the water so we could swim out. We got onto land and I spit up some water while attempting to shield the bio ship...even if I hate its guts.
"She's in shock, thanks for trying Phoenix but she'll still need time to recover," grumbles Megan as a wave hit us.
"Vertigo!" hisses Wally as I try to get up and punch him but my brother caught my fist and tosses me into a tree sucking the air out of my lungs. Superboy also got soccer punched by Black Atom, I got up and whip some blood from my lip. "Water whip," I say summoning some water and hitting Zeke or Black Fang as he goes by. "Robin Miss Martian disappear we will handle them while you finish the mission objective, Kate help them vanish," commands Aqualad.
"Mist breath," I say creating heavy fog long enough for them to vanish.
"Flames of the abyss," shouts Zeke charging at me and nicking my arm creating a searing burn on my forearm. "So little you ready to come home, I think your little play date with you superhero buddies is over," he teases as I unsheathed my katana.
"Shut up!" I snort slashing my sword sending earth flying everywhere.
"Oh wait they don't know your last name do they? That's priceless," he went on, "dark bullets," he commands pulling up pieces of earth and firing them straight at me. "Why can't you have the aim of a Storm Trooper?" I growl as a bullet grazes my cheek damaging my mask.
"Wind winged attack," I yell creating a bunch of wind blades that attack at random.
"Vines," he said and one picks me up by the foot and I got motion sickness mid-air. "You still have your motion sickness?! I swear sister that will be the death of you," he said tossing me back for me to land and see the whole team down and Black Atom, Vertigo and Zeke were close to unscathed. "Megan the whole team is,-" I tried to warn but Vertigo cut me off.
"Such a pest your sister is Black Fang, I say her big brother needs to discipline her," chortles Vertigo as I struggle to stand.
"You're right flame fist," he said and my world went black as he struck me. I open my eyes when someone starts to poke me, "stop it Kid Flash," hisses Artemis as I open my left eye but couldn't open my right.
"That hurt," I say sitting up.
"Black eye," is all Aqualad said and then the cage broke and we were all in a free fall. I was waiting to feel the pain when it never came because someone caught me; Aqualad. "Thanks," I blush as he sets me down and him and Artemis do maneuver seven and I block a wave attack from Zeke. "Water wings," I say jumping up and flying overhead.
"Blood sword," said Zeke creating a flame board and I reached for my katana to find it missing. Great....now I have nothing to channel elements through, I think also looking for my weapons pouch to find it on vacation.
"Air shield," I manage to block, "lightning kick," I say hoping to knock him back into the swamp to electrocute him, but the others were also fighting down there. I hear an explosion and the tree falls down and Dick and Megan stand there saying timber and for some reason, Ke$ha's song went through my head as I land next to Robin to push him out of the way from Atomic Skull's blast. "Ice prison," I shout trying to trap him but he uses the ice to his advantage and sent shards into my leg which sadly hit its target. I melt the ice and lean on one leg. I was taking off guard when an electric attack hit me.
I tried to absorb it like I did with Mr. Twister but it was too much to handle. I stare in shock as Aqualad places the helmet of fate on his head. "You're open," teases my brother punching me into Wally who broke his arm I think.
"Sorry," I pant coughing up blood.
Doctor Fate flew up, "you're mine Wotan," he declares and they start their battle.
"Wonderboy you are mine," I heard the Joker say but I had my eyes on Zeke.
"I'm bringing you home," he insists pulling out his blood sword. My leg decided that now was the perfect time to give out and I collapsed leaning up against a tree.
He raised the sword and would and badly injured me if a powerful wave of electricity hadn't stopped him. "Karma," spat Zeke backing up a little. "I suggest you surrender," he spoke picking me up bridal style. He put his hands up with the others and back up. "There will be another day," guarantees Vertigo.
"Another day?! ANOTHER DAY?! There won't be another day not for any of us!" Laughs the Joker controlling a bunch of plants that released Joker venom spores. "Fear not Fate has intervened," he yells.
"He's gone!" exclaims Karma and I look over to see Zeke gone, escaped in the confusion.
"What were you thinking?! Letting put the helmet on, Nabu will never release him now," I say almost in tears.
"Kaldur will be trapped inside doctor Fate forever," adds Wally glumly. We watch as the helmet got taken off and I was the first to react.
"KALDUR!" I cry limping over to him ad he helps me stand.
"You are just getting more and more emotional ever mission," he smiles wrapping an arm under my arm so I was leaning on him.
"Nabu let you go?" questions Wally walking over.
"He almost did not but your friend Kent was most helpful, he says hello," smiles Aqualad.
"We're done here, the Supervillain secret society has be neutralized as for your performance it was satisfactory," said Batman and my jaw drops and then turns into a wide grin but in the back of my mind, Zeke haunts my thoughts.
