A/N: Here's a list of the current team in case you've forgotten: (Because ever time I write a chapter I have to do a mental checklist and it's better to have an actual checklist.

Robin - Richard "Dick" Grayson

Red Robin - Tim Drake

Batgirl - Barbara Gordon

Kid Flash- Wally West

Artemis – Artemis Crock

Miss Martian- M'gaan M'orzz - Megan Morse

Superboy - Conner Kent

Aqualad- Kaldur'ahm

Zatanna- Zatanna Zatara

Rocket- Raquel Ervin

Lagoon Boy- La'gaan

Bumblebee- Karen Breecher

"The Light." Whispered Karen "They don't sound so bad."

"If Lex and the League of Assassins are involved than it's definitely bad." Robin told her, mulling over what little information Batman had been able to provide "Batman, the Question and I think Black Canary are gonna hit up some informants but I don't see what some low level thugs could know about the Light. We on the other hand are going to search for their digital presence."

Wally nodded "I can scan through web pages in a flash and these three Bats are the best hackers you'll ever meet."

"If Klarions involved maybe I can sense his actions." Zatanna announced going to her room to grab her magic books.

"So what do we do?" Asked Karen wanting to be useful to her new friends.

"Talk, train, whatever you want." Robin said leading KF, Batgirl and Red Robin away to the main computers.

The remaining team members stood around as all the people who could help went and helped, they all felt rather useless and Lagoon Boy could sense it (for once). In an attempt to create conversation he said "Oh Kaldur'um I forgot to mention! The Ocean Master disappeared!"

"What? Someone took him out?" Kaldur asked shocked.

"It would seem that way. People have been speculating that it was Black Manta but I don't know, it feels like they should have been working together rather than against each other."

Kaldur thought for a second "This is strange indeed. Wasn't Black Manta working for Ocean-Master?"

"Yeah he was, which is why people think it was him."

Rocket laughed "I can't imagine someone with a name as stupid as 'Ocean Master' was a good boss."

They all laughed at that, shaking off the seriousness of a powerful super villain disappearing without a trace.

"So you guys want to train or watch a movie?"

"Movie!" Exclaimed La'gaan.

"We need to train." Scowled Conner.

"Come on Con, all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy!" Megan teased him lightly, agreeing with La'gaan.

"What?"

"It's a saying. It basically means if you don't have fun sometimes you'll become boring." Explained Raquel, laughing at Superboy's lack of understanding of phrases.

Miss Martian smiled at them "Maybe I should offer my mind reading skills to Black Canary. I could do some investigating of my own" And she too flew off.

Conner scowled and stalked off to the training room whilst Lagoon went off to find a TV. Aqualad followed Connor to the training room, agreeing with the other original member that they needed to train. Rocket was about to join him in the lounge room when Icon, he mentor, Zetaed in "Rocket, we have a situation."

"Lead the way." She smiled, running after the red and green clad man. "Bye team!"

Artemis and Karen looked at each other. They hadn't spent much time together so far. Karen had thought it was because she was closer friends with Robin and the two of them seemed to in some kind of argument when in reality it was because Artemis didn't want Karen to recognise her as her best friend from school.

"So..." Karen said awkwardly.

"What do you want to do?"

"I don't know. I would have thought you'd be out there, shaking down leads or whatever."

"Most of my leads are of the unsavoury type. I'll shake them down when I get some backup."

"Why don't you get Superboy and Aqualad?"

Artemis paused for a second before saying "My dad is Sportsmaster, my mother was Huntress and my sister is Cheshire. The team knows but... I don't like reminding them that they're on a team with someone who was raised to be a criminal."

"And all your leads are related to that?"

"Yeah. Some of those guys knew me when I was a kid. Some are still in contact with my dad, I don't want him catching on to anything I'm doing. Unfortunately he's actually a pretty smart guy."

"Thanks for telling me... and you know, trusting me with this. I feel like I know you now."

"Trust me when I say that you're still miles from knowing me."

"You're a superhero, I wouldn't have it any other way. You and the bats all have iron-clad secret identities, it means that if I do ever learn them, I've got your trust, you're not just handing them out willy-nilly."

Artemis' smile dropped.

"What? Did I say something wrong?"

"No. I mean sort of but not really."

"Could you... elaborate."

"I'm sure you've seen the fight between me and Robin."

"Yes."

"Well the reason things are a bit tense, is because I accused him and the rest of the Bat Clan of not trusting the rest of the League and the YJ team because no one knew their identities but they knew everyone's, even before anyone told them. So me keeping my identity from you... it's hypocritical to say the least."

"No it's not! We've just met, for all you know I could go blabbing my mouth to the media about your secret identity."

"But I know you wouldn't do that!"

"Why because I signed a contract with Batman?"

"No, because I do know you. And I've been lying to you for years."

"What?" Karen was lost "What are you talking about?"

"Before, when you first met me in this cave, you said I looked familiar." She reached up to her mask, undoing the clasps at the back.

As the green piece of kevlar-spandex blend fell from her face revealing the teenaged girl who she had gone to school with for the past two years. The girl who she had copied homework from and had copied her homework; the girl she had studied with; the girl who had watched her cheer-leading; the girl who had given her boy advice and laughed with her and cried with her and sat in detention with. The girl who she had been terrified to death wouldn't understand when she told her that she had bee powers. "Artemis Crock."

"The one and only."

"You- you-you-what?" was all the African-American girl could get out.

"I know, I should have told you the moment you joined the team but I was scared you would be mad that I lied to you for so long."

"I'm not mad. I understand why you did it, I mean I never told you about my powers either. I'm just really, really shocked."

"Yeah, that's understandable."

"I'm also really annoyed at myself that I didn't see this before. I mean I see you everyday at school and a piece of cloth stops me from recognising my best friend."

"Don't feel bad, I've been fooled twice by that same trick." She thought back to when she had learnt that Robin and Batgirl both went to her school.

Suddenly her eyes widened "Wait a minute! Your mum was Huntress?!"

"Yeah."

"But-but she's so nice!"

"That's one of the reasons she stopped. She didn't want to be a criminal anymore and then she broke her lower back which also helped her not be Huntress but mostly she wanted to stop."

"Woah, you've just blown my mind twice in a minute."

"We're... we're still friends right?"

"Of course! Artemis, I wouldn't ditch you for the world." she pulled her in for a hug.

"Thanks Karen."

"Wait till I tell Victor."

Artemis screeched "What! Karen you-"

"I was joking! It was a joke!"
