    Tonight was the night. I had scouted out the facility the night before and copied out some blueprints. I knew I was taking a huge risk with my plan, but I needed backup, and the only assembled force at present was them. I pulled out my phone and dialled my good friend's number.

  "Hello?" sounded through the phone.

"Wally, I need you to assemble all of young Justice at the cave right now. It's an emergency concerning all the disappearances. I'll be there in 30 minutes to explain everything, but everyone has to be there before me."

  "Grace!" I hung up.

    I gathered all of the possible gadgets and such hoping they would come in handy during my final mission as Wolf. I began packing all of my personal things. I had a feeling that my 13th birthday wasn't going to be as nice as I had hoped. All personal effects were taken from my room, and I packed them in my suitcase. 

   I pushed my suitcase into the closet and looked around. This room may have been my home for the past year, but I knew that I would soon be unwelcome. If I could, I would keep my identity hidden, but I know as soon as I travel I'll revert to good old Grace. I turn to the clock on my bedside table. Seems I should be heading out, I knew everyone would respond within 10-15 minutes but to be sure they were all there I only left after 20 minutes. As I walked down the stairs, my appearance slowly melted into that of Ivy Cooper, and adorned in the Wolf costume I entered the Bat-Cave.

   Going through the zeta-tube, I sighed forlornly as it was announced throughout the mountain where all of Young Justice would be. "V1-Wolf"

I could hear all the shouts throughout the mountain as all the kiddy heroes rushed to stop me from entering, I only stood in the entrance awaiting all of them. In the distance I could hear Nightwing, "When you said she would be here soon, I thought you meant a civilian or something, not her, and how the hell do you know her." "Just hear her out first, okay?"

They entered the room last, and I had to hold back a chuckle at their surprised expressions when they saw me already in a headlock thanks to Superboy. I laughed awkwardly and waved a little. Kid Flash pinched the bridge of his nose, and sighed. I started to reach inside my jacket to grab the blueprints, admittedly not my smartest move. In an instant a lot of painful things were pointed my way, and Superboy about snapped my neck. Raising my hands in the surrender motion, chuckling.

    "Just getting the info for the raid guys, no need to be so jumpy." 

 "Why should we trust you?" a green kid said accusingly.

"I'm the only one who knows anything about the disappearances, plus it's not just Supers going missing, villains are going missing too." 

"Well how are we to know it's not you who's doing it and are trying to lure us into a trap" said an equally green girl.

"Well, if it weren't for the fact that I was almost taken today during the disappearance of Flash, Captain Cold and Heat Wave. I would say because I'm one person, who you don't trust and you're like 9 more people, who can telepathically communicate. That enough for you to trust me?"

"Not really, but you are currently the only lead we have so we're going to have to trust you at the moment" Nightwing came forward.

"Awesome, so Supie, could you... let me go?"

He begrudgingly let me go. I started walking forward heading towards the mission room. "On second thought," I turned to Kid Flash,"mind leading me to the mission room, you'll probably want to be sitting for this bomb I'm about to drop." some of the members tensed,"Figure of speech everybody," I called waving my hand.
