Chapter One-
The last thing Robin expected at one in the morning was to have to go to the Batcave for some League emergency.
"What now?" he asked, tugging on his cape and rubbing his eyes. "Did Flash trip over his own feet again and set off an alarm?"
"No." The batman replied. "Distress signal from the Cave, but no one is responding."
Robin was immediately on alert. "Who was there? What happened?"
"Miss Martian and Superboy were at the mountain, I can't figure out what happened, but I've sounded a Beta level threat. The Team is teleporting there now." batman said.
"I guess that includes me?" Robin asked, tugging on his mask.
"No. I'll send you in if and when we know what is wrong." batman replied.
----------------------------------------------------
The Team teleported into the mountain, mostly sleepy, but somewhat awake.
"Nothing looks wrong." Courage said.
"I'm gonna kill batman if I got up for nothing." Artemis added, looking around sleepily.
"Shhh!" Aqualad whispered.
The Team went silent and listened. In the background of humming machines, they could hear a high-pitched whine getting louder and louder.
"Bomb!" Courage yelled, tackling Artemis to the floor.
The bombs detonated, bringing walls crashing down around the young heroes. Courage yelled as a piece of debris fell on her. She wearily got up after the explosions subsided.
"Team to Watchtower! We are under attack in the Cave! Assailant Unknown! Omega Level Threat!" Courage yelled into her earpiece.
"That's your cue." batman said, activating the zeta-transporter.
"Access to Mount Justice denied. Zeta-tubes offline." A computer voice said.
"Damn it!" batman said, typing in a new code.
"Access to Providence Granted. Recognized, Robin. B-01."
"Better grab your bike." the batman said.
Robin nodded and revved up his motorcycle. He sped through the zeta-tube out into Providence, speeding along the road towards his friends in distress.
----------------------------------------------------
"Don't breathe!" Courage yelled, slipping on a rebreather.
The yellow gas poured through the Cave towards the Team. The five managed to hold their breath long enough for the gas to dissipate.
Suddenly, a cage dropped down right on topo, início of Aqualad, it's bars heating up.
"Gaah!" Aqualad yelled, collapsing to the ground.
"Kaldur!" Artemis called.
"Be-Behind you!" Kaldur gasped.
Artemis felt someone's arm embrulho, envoltório around her neck. She tried to fight, but she suddenly dropped her bow and went limp.
"What the-?" Wally asked, turning around.
The five couldn't believe who it was.
"Should've known." a familiar voice said, and Robin leapt off his bike at topo, início speed, landing a blow to the villain's head. The figure in black stumbled progressivo, para a frente and turned around, tossing an exploding weapon in front of Robin.
The Boy Wonder flew back, into the wall, and dropped fifteen feet to the ground.
"Anybody else?" the figure asked.
"Why?" Courage asked.
"Why not?" the figure replied. Cages dropped over the other superpowered teens, leaving Artemis, Robin, and Courage.
"Who's next?" the figure asked.
"We don't have superpowers." Artemis said.
"Oh, but you have weaknesses, don't you Miss Crock?"
Artemis growled and leapt at the figure.
