Target

=== Taipei; September 7th; 19:20 NST ===

The cityscape rises high into the sky, but only one place is of importance. Before a modern-styled building with a small grass and fountain adorning the center stands a blonde woman, her hair falling to her red jacket covered her shoulders. She had sliver earrings and a chain necklace compliment her dusk blue eyes. The reporter had her notepad in her right hand.

"This is Cat Grant reporting from Taipei where the historic peace summit between South Rhelasia and North Rhelasia has completely broken down. As a last resort, Prime Minister Tseng of South Rhelasia and North Rhelasia's General Singh Manh Li have agreed to bring in an independent arbitrator. But who is it?" Cat Grant reports.

The camera changes from the reporter to the both Prime Ministers who are both being swarm by the press Tseng is an aging man with grey hair and his only other notable feature being a mole under his left eyebrow. While Singh is a younger man with completely black hair and glasses.

"Speculation has run from the Secretary-General of the United Nations to Superman. But the Man of steel seems unlikely, as I'm told the arbitrator is due to arrive by car, not cape, at any moment." Cat said

She glances down at her notes and signing off. The white limo before the building for the Summit pulls away from the press-dense area. Roy Harper, decked out in a suit of his own and dark glasses stands with his back to a pillar, watches over the area. Tapping the Bluetooth in his left ear he listens to it beep and someone responds on the other end.

"Aqualad." the Atlantean replies instantly.

"Red Arrow. I need access to the Justice League's database." Roy informs.

=== Mount Justice ===

Aqualad walks around the Zeta Room in Mount Justice. Danny was practicing his staff which he didn't notice that Aqualad was in the room.

"And the exact height of the league of Shadows assassin known as Cheshire."

"Checking," Aqualad said.

He moves his right hand out, a keyboard and screen appearing instantly. He draws out as the data comes in. The access to the database is displayed like vault even virtually, as the assassin's image appears before him.

"Cheshire is 1.67 meters." Aqualad said.

"Um..." Roy mutters.

"She is a 5-foot-6." Aqualad reads the conversion with a smile.

Danny was trying not to laugh.

=== Taipei ===

"And exceptionally dangerous. Do you require backup?" Aqualad asked.

"Please. The last thing I need is the Junior Justice Leagues." Roy scoffed.

"Just our computer." Aqualad murmured.

Roy scans the women in the area until he focuses on the woman that was wearing normal clothes. The lenses zoom in on her face to test her match. The young woman looking at the other woman that was standing next to her. She had long red hair but she kept it in a Japanese style with chopsticks and she was wearing a dark red dress.

"Good luck, my friend. Aqualad out." Aqualad said.

Roy removes his hand from the Bluetooth, looking down at the briefcase in his other hand. Pressing the handle the two sides fall away to reveal his compound bow inside. Removing the top of the case and the handle lets the bow extend to match his height.

Motorcycles are heard that was heading towards the steps of the Summit building. Roy looks oversees that it is an escort, meaning that the arbitrator has arrived. It was a signal for both Cheshire and Chameleon two to change into their assassin clothes. The sirens engage, two motorcycles before the limo and four after it.

"The arbitrator has arrived." Cat Grant says to the camera.

Roy nocks an arrow, crouching down so that despite his stature he's less visible. From above the stands, Cheshire stands tall, a rocket launcher resting plainly on her shoulder. Chameleon two just hiss as try to line up her shot. Cheshire drops the nose, looking through the scope at the limo, where four guards stand around it. Just as she squeezes the trigger, an arrow hits the guards. Startling the woman and knocking the rocket launcher up so it was shot into the air. Chameleon two was shocked to see that her mentor would miss a perfect shot. The police call out to the screaming crowd. While the guards for both Rhelasisan official step up.

Cat Grant stays low to the ground but doesn't move an inch.

"Did you get that? Did you get the shot?" Cat asks.

Her cameraman was moving the camera back onto the action. Cheshire drops the rocket launcher and hops off the stand which causing more people to scream in fear. Chameleon two transform into her chameleon form and she was let out a huge roar. They both moves with ease, going from ground level to jumping off of men's shoulders with grace. Cheshire took out one guard with a hook kick to the face and other she throws over her hip. Chameleon uses her tail to grab a couple of guards and slammed them to the ground. A man gets his arms around her mid-section, locking her arms to her sides. Two more guards charge at her from opposite sides, but Chameleon one appears on the scene in Chameleon form but he shot a couple of ashes from his mouth which hit the guards in the face which they all starts to see illusions.

Then Cheshire flips out of the guard's grip and she roundhouses kick him in the side. He drops to the ground hard while holding his side. She brandishes two sais and takes off towards the limo. Guardsmen shoot at her as she runs, then leaps towards the limo, but none of the shots hit. Chameleon one look at the sky to see that the rocket still spinning in the sky. Then it drops towards the ground and Chameleon jump towards his sister to move her out of the way.

Roy jumps out from behind the pillar, stepping on the trunk then the roof of the limo, so he can shoot at Cheshire. The arrowhead opens to release a net that she cut through. Then Roy tackles her to the gr4ound, just as the missile explodes. Cheshire lands on top of Roy. The guards pointed their guns at both of them.

"Don't move!"

They were surrounded by five Northern Rehlasian guards and two Southern Rehlasian secret Service, two cops, and a man who one of the arbitrator's bodyguards because he was holding a huge gun at the both of them. Cheshire raises her hands and Roy drops his to his sides and simply lays flat. Chameleon twins were looking around for a moment as the rest of the guards pointed their guns at them, but Chameleon one upchuck a smoke grenade which it went off. Chameleon two wanted to save Cheshire which her brother stops her and shook his head. The smoke surrounds the area and both of them cloak themselves. Once the smoke clears, the guards the shock to see that they're gone.

Cat Grant stands slightly away from the circle as the police bring Cheshire's hands together to cuff them despite the finality Cheshire didn't resist in any way.

"We have just witnessed an assassination attempt to live. But it seems that the monsters had disappeared. Thankfully, no one seems to have been hurt, including our mystery arbitrator." Cat said.

A blonde-brown haired woman steps out of the front of the limo and walks to the back. She opens the door. Following the flashes of the cameras and the bustling crowd. Roy's eyes go wide under his sunglasses when he saw who it is. He was overwhelmed by the sight of the person exiting the car.

"Lex Luthor?" Cat asks.

She was surprised and unsure as to the business tycoon and sworn enemy of Superman straighten his tie and looks at the cameras that increase in their shuttering. After a few minutes later, Cheshire is loaded into the back of a police car, her mask removed. She glances out the window, giving a confident smile as her eyes lock with someone beyond the tinted glass. She leans back, relaxed. The police wave the cars onwards as they all make their way down the drive. The blonde-brown haired woman steps forward, holding a phone up, then ending the call and nods her towards Lex.

"We have confirmation. This one's Green Arrow's pal, Speedy." Lex informed.

The cop turns to Luthor.

"He must be questioned."

"Lex Luthor vouches for him, captain. Release the sidekick." Luthor says.

"Ex-sidekick." Roy snaps. "And I don't need any favors from you."

He was rubbing his wrist as the cuff was removed.

"Apologies. I didn't realize you wished to join the young lady behind bars." Luthor says.

Roy walks past the tycoon. He turns with an instant and snarl at Luthor.

"You may have everyone here fooled, Luthor, but I know what you are," Roy said.

"Oh, I don't pretend to be an angel. It just so happens that this time I'm on the side of the angels." Luthor says.

He smiles for a moment. He walks away and Roy has no choice but to follow him inside. Inside, at the bottom of a grand staircase are all the media, while on the first floor are the north and south Rehlasian heads. Both of them backed by their guards.

"The violence outside has not helped the peace process." Cat comments.

"Hiring assassins, Li?" Tseng questions. "had you no one among your troops to do the North's dirty work?"

"I need no assassin, Tseng." Li snarls. "Such is the method of a Southern coward."

Tseng and Li start yelling at each other in a foreign tongue. Cat turns towards the camera, raising her mic.

"Tensions are running high. And troops are massing on the border between the two countries. Right now, Lex Luthor seems to be the best or only hope for peace." Cat said.

Roy watches with Luthor.

"Why should either side trust you?" Roy questions darkly.

"Because LexCorp is a company founded on a peaceful enterprise for all humanity," Lex says calmly.

"Cut the act, Luthor." Roy snaps. "I've got intel linking LexCorp shell companies to the sale of weapons in both Relais. You're profiting off this war. So, what's your angle?"

"War income is pocket change compared to the billions to be made investing in a peaceful, united Rhelasia," Lex admits, leaning closer to Roy's ear. "And isn't it better to have peace even if that scoundrel Lex Luthor profits from it?"

"That scoundrel may not survive to profit. Cheshire failed, but the league of Shadow won't stop until the contract is fulfilled." Roy told him.

"Which does beg the question, who hired the league?" Lex asks.

"And were you really the target?" Roy mumbles. "Was your death just a convenient way to sabotage the summit?"

Lex looks at Roy for a moment.

"Allow me to hire you to find out." Lex offers.

"Your money has blood on it, and I'm not here to make a buck." Roy snarls.

Lex chuckles lightly.

"So, you'll provide your services, but for free?" Lex asked, placing his hand on Roy's shoulder. "I can live with that, hero. Now, excuse me. I have a hemisphere to save."

Camera shutters click as Lex walks up to the stars. Roy just narrows his eyes at the rich man before him.

"Gentlemen, gentlemen, shall we attempt some smiles for the cameras?" Lex offered.

=== Mount Justice; September 7th; 06:41 EST ====

Inside the garage of the base; Superboy works on his motorcycle, as Sphere whir behind him. Then moves irritably behind him as he ignores it.

"Jealous much?" Superboy taunts.

Sphere beeps irritably as it spins around in circles then gets close to Superboy.

"Alright, alright." Superboy appeases, patting Sphere.

"Ready for school?" M'gann called out, flying down the hall with two paper bags in her hands. "I made our lunches."

Red Tornado, Kaldur, Danny, and Manhunter follow her.

"The first day of the scholastic season carries great cultural resonance. We want to wish you both well." Manhunter tells them.

Superboy stands up to look at Manhunter. Even Kaldur gives them a smile. Danny was looking at Kaldur with a curious look on his face.

"So, going to school is one of being normal?" Danny asked.

"You can say that," Kaldur said.

"Guess it's not a Kryptonian thing," Superboy mutters as he wiped his hands.

M'gann was looking at him and she had a sad look on her face.

"I wish you could come with us, Danny," M'gann said.

"Well, Daniel will be attending at Gotham Prep along with both Robin and Artemis." Red Tornado told her.

He handed Danny a form of Gotham Prep Academy which he raises a brow. M'gann hugs as tight as she could. Danny could feel some of his bone pop in the process.

"M'gann! Can't breathe." Danny struggle.

She let go of him and he tries to catch his breath. Kaldur chuckle and he look at Superboy and his shirt.

"You may wish to... change before you depart," Kaldur told them.

"Ah, I spent hours choosing this outfit," M'gann said.

She changes into black flats, white knee-high socks, a burgundy skirt, a white top, and a burgundy short sweater. Danny was looking at her because she was a human from a Martian.

"What do you two thinks? Can M'gann M'orzz pass as an Earth Girl now?"

"Well..." Kaldur stumbles.

"Just kidding," M'gann said, turning her skin tone from green to Caucasian. "Meet Megan Morse."

She does a small spin and a curtsy while looking at Superboy.

"What's your new name? Megan asked.

Superboy's eyes widen.

"My what?" Superboy said.

"I chose the name John Jones for myself. And suggested John Smith for Red Tornado. You can be a John too." Manhunter said.

He changes into a bald black skinned man in a suit.

"Pass," Superboy said.

"Conner's always been my favorite name." Megan offered.

"The last Name will also be required," Kaldur informs him.

"Why would last names be important?" Danny asked.

"Well, people will think that you have a family or relatives," Kaldur told him.

Danny ponders for a moment on the last name.

"Perhaps Kent?" John suggested.

"Oh, in memory of Dr. Fate, the late Kent Nelson," Megan said.

"Of course." John murmurs.

He changes back to avoid the look of surprise on his face.

"Okay, sure. I guess it'd be an honor or something." Superboy grumbles.

"Well, Conner Kent, time to change your shirt." M'gann teases.

Superboy now named Conner to grab his shirt logo.

"You don't wanna reveal your identity." M'gann

His face gives nothing away as he suddenly reaches back and pulls on the collar of his shirt, taking it off with no shame. M'gann's eyes widen for a moment and only relax as a heavy blush settles on her cheeks.

"Ugh, will this work?" Conner asked.

He just turned his shirt inside out. M'gann half swoons. Danny was looking at M'gann who was in a daze.

"Works for me," M'gann said.

"Oh, shouldn't I be Conner Nelson?" Conner question.

He slips his shirt back on and M'gann follows him and so did their lunches.

"They grow up so fast," J'ohnn said.

The sphere comes back in front of them and beeps. J'ohnn looked over at Danny for a moment because of the deep in thought about the last name. He just smiles at the young boy.

"Would I need a last name for my first to this Gotham Prep Academy?" Danny muttered.

"I believe that you would. Do you have a last name in mind?" J'onn asked, looking at the boy with no clue. "How about Waller being your last name."

Danny thinks for a moment.

"Danny Waller. It has a nice ring to it." Danny said.

"Very well," J'onn said.

=== Elsewhere ===

In the police station in Tapei, Red Arrow stands in a single-celled room, Cheshire doing drawn out martial movements fluidly, completely at ease.

"Aren't you going to ask me anything?" Cheshire asked, without looking at him.

"I think you know what I'm after." Red Arrow said.

Cheshire pauses, her leg still high in the air as she looks over her shoulder.

"I do actually. Do you?" Cheshire said.

Red Arrow steps back as she nearly presses her heel to the bars.

"Who hired you?" Red Arrow asked.

"Shadows," Cheshire replied.

She moves through her combat moves if she did them at even faster. She could feel herself finding her balance. Red Arrow knew that he couldn't

"Who hired them?" Red Arrow asked.

Cheshire just smirked.

"I don't ask," Cheshire said.

"What's the endgame. The peace summit or Luthor himself?" Red Arrow snaps.

Cheshire raises her hands over her head, finally remaining rooted in her spot.

"Two bird... one stone," Cheshire said.

She didn't get any reaction front him so she decided to changes it up.

"Hey, where are your little sidekick friends? They're always fun to play with. Especially Artem-cheery girl. I like her." Cheshire said.

"She... They aren't in my league." Red Arrow snarls.

"And you think you're in mine? Where's Green Arrow when you really need him?" Cheshire asked.

"I don't." Red Arrow said.

Cheshire grabs the back of his head and pulls him down slightly.

"Sure, about that?" Cheshire asked.

She drops low. It takes Red Arrow just long enough to see her holding the bars tightly, as his instincts make him take a step back for him to realize what's happening.

"Oh, no." Red Arrow mutters.

Then suddenly, there was an explosion goes off. The smoke covers the room and the force causes Red Arrow to grunt. The sirens wail as a rope is dropped past the hole in the outside wall.

"Ugh, it had to be you," Cheshire said.

She was shocked to see that Sportsmaster was here to recuse her.

"Beggars can't be choosers, little girl," Sportsmaster said.

Cheshire throws only one glance over her shoulder before she jumps out of the hole, bouncing off the wall on either side before she slides down. Red Arrow coughs as he slowly pushes himself off the floor. Running up to the bars he groans at the now obstacle. He went after them because he knew that none of his questions have been answered.

The door on the roof throws itself open as Red Arrow grunts at the impact of his shoulder. His bow down at his side and an arrow already nocked. He reaches the edge of the roof, looking down to see Cheshire and Sportsmaster running across the lower roofs as a helicopter lowers itself to seemingly pick them up.

His eyes narrow behind his mask as he draws back the almost harpoon tipped arrow. A length of rope following front where it connected to a lower building. As he slides down the line, he comes to be just the left of Cheshire and Sportsmaster. Little did he know, that the Chameleon twins were following him.

"I admire persistence, but..." Cheshire threw a shuriken to cut the line.

Red Arrow flips backward, just before the line is cut and he lands the same roof as the other two. They make it into the helicopter and Sportsmaster turns towards the Pilot.

"Go! Go!" Sportsmaster commanded

The chopper took the air. Red Arrow was getting closer but suddenly something hit him in the face. Then out of nowhere, the Chameleon twin appeared. They were attacking him to buy some time for the chopper to take off. Arrow dodge their attacks and he used his arrow which it has density polyurethane foam to trapped the both of them inside the foam.

Red Arrow couldn't catch up to them, but he already has another arrow nocked. He shoots it with ease, the flat tip of the arrow holding to the side of the chopper and length of rope catches him as he drops off the edge of the roof. Sportsmaster was looking at Red Arrow and glared at Cheshire.

"Are you even trying to ditch this guy!" Sportsmaster demands.

"I really hate to admit it, but he has a point," Cheshire tells Red Arrow.

She brandishes a Sai and cuts through the connection of the arrow. With his support gone, Red Arrow falls through the air, he turns so he facing the roofs, pulling out another and firing. This one hits the roof and explodes into a foam, which cushions his fall. Though he grunts as he hits.

Maneuvering slightly, though he does still have some foam goo on him, he pulls out a small device, flipping it open he is shown a small screen with a dot and the word under it says tracks. Evidently, it can track the head of the arrow. Meanwhile, the chameleon twins were struggling to get free but the foam was too strong for them to break. Chameleon one closed his eyes to tap into the power of the other part of the animal. Then his eyes shot open and he let out a loud roar. He busted the foam to free both him and his sister from the foam. He collapsed to his knees and panted hard.

"Oni-chan!" Chameleon two said with concern.

"I am fine. Just overdid it with the Komodo Dragon's DNA." Chameleon one said.

Chameleon two was looking at her brother and she helped him to his feet and walked him towards the meeting point. They both vanished without a trace and by the time Red Arrow came back, they were already gone. He narrowed his eyes because he didn't expect for both of them to escape. He followed the tracer to find where did Cheshire and Sportsmaster go.

=== Elsewhere ===

They arrived at a compound and the four were looking at each other. Well, three were looking at Sportmaster.

"Because I'm a professional, I won't kill you. Cheshire said, snarling at Sportsmaster from her mask. "At least not while we're on the job."

"You wouldn't have this job if not for me," Sportsmaster said. "Grow up already."

Chameleon Two growls at him and her claws stick out as Kambei placed his hand in front of his sister.

"Kambei-san?"

"No, this is not the place, sister. The master is coming." Kambei said.

"The evening's agenda was to create strife between nations."

The young girl looked at the entrance and there a man in looked like in his thirties with gray hair on the side of his head. He was looking at the assassins in front of them. The three assassins bow in front of him.

"Not my assassins."

The man glare at all of them.

"Master," Cheshire said as she bows her head.

"And client. So, twice disappointed in your failure. Luthor has been a thorn in my side for too long. And peaceful countries rarely call upon the League of Shadows.

The chameleon twins were looking up at their teacher.

"I expected more from both of you. Kambei, you used your Komodo-dragon without permission."

Kambei bows his head his in shame.

"Forgive me, Master. It was the only to get away from the container that we were trapped in." Kambei said.

The old man placed his hand on Kambei's shoulder as a sign of forgiveness.

"And as for you!" He spoke in Japanese.

Chameleon two bows her head as to avoid his gaze. She knew that she was in for it because she'd fail a majority of missions that were assigned to her.

"You have failed countless mission that I have assigned and you had not improved at all. Mai, I have raised you and your brother like my own children but I will not have you tarnish the League of Shadow." He spoke in Japanese.

Mai just bows her head as she was trying to shed a tear. She knew that their master was right.

"Sensei, just give me one more chance." Mai said in Japanses.

Red Arrow lays on the roof of the outlying wall, using binoculars to see what is happening.

"Raysh al Ghul." Red Arrow said.

Raysh al Ghul just sighs and looked at the rest of them. Kambei was looking at their master with a pleaded look in his eyes. He knew that he would make his pries student. He nodded his head which Mai was happy to accept her request.

"So, I expect a better outcome," Raysh said. "And less interference from that boy!"

He was looking at the direction of the roof. Clearly, he was looking back at Red Arrow while he was looking through the binocular.

"Perfect." Red Arrow said, sarcastically.

He pulled the binoculars away and sits up slightly. Red Stands up and nocks an arrow, aiming for Raysh. The demon's head doesn't even move, instead of letting Sportsmaster step in front of him and use his staff to knock the arrow away. Cheshire ran towards Red Arrow as the leader of the League of Shadows falls back into the cover from whence he came.

Red Arrow jumped down to the lower level roof, grunting from the impact as he lands on the slant. He finds his balance easily enough, nocking another arrow as he runs, aiming for the courtyard. He missed Cheshire, twice, who was running without slowing down. She kicks off a statue to get herself on the roof with Red Arrow.

The twin cloaked themselves and followed pursuits with Cheshire. As Cheshire landed, she finds Red Arrow already turned towards her, this time he's kneeling and his aim following her into her jump. She dodges the first but uses her sais to knock away the second and the third. Little did he know that the twins were on the same roof with him. Red Arrow stands up as he reaches back to his quiver again.

"Now!" Cheshire called out.

Then both of the chameleon twins appeared out and tried to attack him which he dodged both of them. Cheshire tried to strike him but he back handsprings away. She narrowly dodged the arrow this time, but her hair got cut in the back.

She leads with a high left hook kick, that knocked away his bow, her right sai followed the same path, that Red Arrow barely dodges under. At that moment, however, Cheshire kneed him in the stomach. Red Arrow stumbled for a moment and blocked Kambei's right hook. He punched Kambei in the face but he didn't see Mai appeared in front of him and used her tail to cut him in the face. Red Arrow backed away for but his vision started to move slow. He looked at Cheshire and tied to strike her with a hook punch that used the extra reach of his bow. Cheshire dropped under and back kicks him in the gut.

Sportsmaster was running across the courtyard with a vaulting pole, he kicked into a high arc, and as he faced the hero, he releases a metal discus Cheshire and the chameleon twins continued to strike at Red Arrow, he was dodging each attack from three people at the same time. He counterattacks a few times when he sees an opening without pause. Cheshire suddenly cocked her head slightly, before diving left.

Red Arrow finally gets to see the discus, only having enough time to raise his bow so it won't hit him in the face. Though his bow broke in two from the impact.

The discus continued its assault until it crashed into the corner of the wall behind Red Arrow which taking out a fair amount of higher level of the roof. Red Arrow barely caught Cheshire's Kick from the corner of his eye. Jumping over to the highest point on the roof on the opposite side, closer to the moat. He looked down on the severe dislike and a definite note that he cannot see anything below the pitch-black surface of the water.

He looked at Cheshire, who stood on the highest part of the roof on his left while the Chameleon twins were standing on the roof on his right. However, Sportsmaster, who is slightly lower than the twins and, on his right, as well. Red Arrow looked at Sportsmaster for a moment to see what Sportsmaster was planning.

"I hear you go by Red Arrow now." Sportsmaster taunted. "Heh, more like Broken Arrow."

Red Arrow narrowed his eyes barely widen beneath his mask.

= Happy Harbor; September 7th; 07:58 =

Students were chatting among themselves in front of the school. Then a student on a skateboard was weaving through the crowd while executing a couple of tricks, but as he looked up, he was stunned to find Conner walking in front of him.

"Aah!" but there was no crash. "Hey!"

His skateboard clattered to the ground. Conner was holding him by the collar of his jacket, which disorientates the helmet-wearing teen a bit. The poor guy realized that he was three feet off the ground and looked at Conner. He was freaked out for a moment. Conner lifts him up a little higher, bringing the logo near his eye level.

"Explain this," Conner said.

The helmet-wearing teen is extremely confused.

"What's your problem."

Conner turned to find a buff male with his arm over the shoulder of a petite cheerleader. His own shirt having the lighter pallet Superman colors on it. Behind him is a boy wearing a dark pallet Superman shirt, and another wearing a Green Lantern shirt.

"Put my man Marvin down."

"Uh, I don't think he likes my shirt," Marvin said.

Conner looks around. Seeing quite a few more people had stepped up, a flash and reverse batman logo joining the mix.

"Your shit's fine. Everyone's shirt is fine." Conner said tensely.

He let go of Marvin which Marvin dropped to the ground.

"Someone's fine." the cheerleader mused.

Her boyfriend walked towards Conner. M'gann walked over to Marvin as he was helping himself to his feet.

"Hi. We're new. I'm Megan Mors. This is Conner Kent." Megan said.

"Double Alliteration. I like it." Marvin said.

Then Conner walked up to the buff teen. They both stop in front of each other and stared each other down even though Conner had to look up to the buff teen. Then someone snapped their finger to get their attention.

"Okay. Time to get to homeroom, gang."

The dark-skinned teen purposefully shoulder check Conner on his way in. Conner glared and turned to follow him, but M'gann stepped in front of him to block his path.

"Conner," M'gann called out, telepathically.

Conner grumbles lowly while everyone started heading inside, though his eyes are on the tallest of the bunch. Then a girl with short black hair approach Megan and Conner. She was also a cheerleader more like the captain of the cheerleaders.

"Hi, I'm Wendy. I was new last year, so I know how hard it is to fit in. But you look like instant bumblebee material to me." Wendy said.

Both Megan and Conner seem confused at what Wendy said.

"Cheerleaders. The Bumblebees. Tryouts are after school." Wendy said.

Megan gasped in realization, gaining a bright smile.

"Thanks. I'll be there." Megan said.

She stepped up to follow Wendy to get more information. Conner was following her, but Marvin puts his hand on Conner's shoulder.

"Dude. Facing down Mal Duncan? Fierce. Not too bright but fierce." Marvin said.

Then the school bell rang.

=== Red Arrow ===

Cheshire moved in slowly while Sportsmaster moves higher up on the roof both his Bo staffs being shifted to neutral positions with ease. Red Arrow sighed as he tilts his head down, then looking back at Cheshire. Seeing her standing completely relaxed and waving at him. Sportsmaster throws one of his staffs at Red Arrow.

The ginger took a stutter step back, just enough so the staff exploded against the roof rather than hitting him. Using the explosion as a cover he dived off the roof and landed into the moat.

Sportsmaster runs towards the edge throwing the other staff just as Red Arrow dived below the surface. The staff followed and it's only two seconds before it exploded as well. The masked blonde glared down at the water, moving to away as Cheshire stepped up to glance down as well.

She saw him walk away, but as he didn't even a pause as she glanced back down at the water for a long time before finally following after Sportsmaster. Red Arrow came back up for air from a further distance away from the compound. He was breathing heavily as he pulled himself out of the water. He crawled out of the water and ended up laying down for a few moments. Within seconds he seemed to have a purpose as he sat back on his heels and tapped his earpiece.

"It's me. I may... possibly be in over my head." Red Arrow said.

Meanwhile

Back in Taipei, Red Arrow stood in a high story office with Lex Luthor and his bodyguard.

"The League of Shadows wants you dead." Red Arrow stated.

"It's not just Cheshire, it's Sportsmaster, and Raysh al Ghul himself." Red Arrow explained.

Lex continued with what he's been doing, and his bodyguard helped him get his suit jacket on.

"I can't say I'm surprised. Raysh is something of an... competitor of mine." Lex Luthor said.

The white lenses in Red Arrow's narrow as he tries to keep his temper in check and figure out what Lex is trying to hide since it's obviously big.

"I should stand aside and watch you take each other out." Red Arrow said.

"Your stab at pragmatism is, well, adorable," Lex smirked. "But the summit and the peace are at stake, remember?"

Lex's bodyguard tightens Lex's tie and looked away as Red Arrow matched towards him and walked towards the door.

"We'll increase security. Though if the Shadows think you're dead, maybe we can surprise them." Lex stated.

Red Arrow stopped and looked at Lex.

"I've got a better surprise." Red Arrow said.

He smirked from the corner of his lips.

Meanwhile at Happy Harbor High

The class watched Cat Grant's report of the Summit on the Tv in their classroom.

"If Lex Luthor's unknown strategy for peace fails the two Rhelasias are looking at all-out war before morning," Cat said.

The teacher turned off the Tv and turned towards his class.

"Who can tell me more about Rhelasia?" He asked, looking around the room. "Marvin?"

"Huh!" Marvin yelped, looking totally lost. "Well, um, Mr. Carr, it's better than Fakeasia."

Then the entire class chuckled at his statement while Mr. Carr just sighed.

"Anyone else?" Mr. Carr asked.

"Modern Rhelasia was created in 1855 and ruled by the Bokun dynasty until it was divided by the great powers into North and South Rhelasia after World War II," Conner stated.

Everyone was shocked to hear that Conner knew all about the History of Rhelasia. Mr. Carr was impressed with Conner and smiled.

"Very good." Mr. Carr said.

"But why are they fighting?" Conner asked. "They're all humans-I mean, Rhelasians, right?"

"Right on both counts, actually." Mr. Carr said.

"It's no different on Mar. The White Martian minority are treated as second-class citizens by the Green majority. Of course, I'm green, but that doesn't make it right." Megan explained, telepathically.

Conner looked down for a moment, but as he slowly closed his eyes, he turned back towards the board.

Meanwhile at the Peace Summit

"Reunification is unthinkable!" Tseng shouted.

"Our peoples no longer have anything in common." Li angrily agreed.

Sitting between the two of them at a long table is Lex Luthor.

"Gentlemen, that is mere rhetoric," Lex Luthor said. "Despite your differences, you still share an appreciation for many things such as the exquisite art of the Rhelasian Tea Ceremony."

Both of them looked surprised that Lex brought the ceremony up, but neither argued with his idea. Behind the mass of reporters, there was a young woman with white face paint and a traditional red dress who was pushing a cart towards the stairs that currently separate the reports and the delegates. Aramspike was lurking in the shadows and he sniffed the air for a moment. He caught the sense of Cheshire from the woman which he signaled Aqualad within the crowd. Then Aqualad turned around just before the woman reaches the reporters, brandishing a single water bearer.

"That's is far enough, Cheshire," Aqualad said.

The reporters hear his accusation and gasped in shock. Then Armaspike appeared behind her in his costume with his quills sticking out. The woman's eyes narrow, seeing that Red Arrow had stepped up from behind Luthor over Aqualad's shoulder and she leaned forward slightly which pressed a button on the handle of the car and shoved it towards the Atlantean.

"Hiya!"

Kaldur pulled out his second water bearer in a strong arc with his own shout. Red Arrow shifted his stance to take proper aim at the water from inside the glass on the table started to rise up. Armaspike ready his quill to take the shot at the cart. Aqualad turned the rising water into a dome shield. Both Armaspike and Red Arrow took their shot which both their attack hit the cart.

The explosion from the chart threw Cheshire back. It also pushed against the barrier that Aqualad was holding up, his tattoos take so much power that they rip the sleeves off his jacket, but it holds. Armaspike shielded himself from the blast in his Armadillo form.

The room is silent as the shield falls, Aqualad was panting heavily and he was looking over at Armaspike to see that he was okay. Armaspike reverted back to his normal self as he looked around the room. With the shield and the explosion, two of the statues fell to the ground before the shield, but it didn't block Aqualad's view of a fallen Cheshire.

As she pushed herself back up as Red Arrow, Aqualad and Armaspike made their way over to the statues. Red Arrow nocking another arrow and Aqualad ripped off the ruined remains of his jacket. Armaspike summoned his quills and the three of them were looking at Cheshire.

"It's over, Cheshire." Red Arrow snarled.

Cheshire smirked.

"You would this so," Cheshire said.

Then a helicopter came up to the hole in the window. The side door open, revealing Sportsmaster, the Chameleon twins and some of the league of shadow henchmen.

"Shau zo sa so." Tseng called out.

His guards charged forward as the henchmen behind Sportsmaster and the Chameleon twins also got off the chopper. The blonde man moving slowly, taunting the young men who stand defiantly before him. Cheshire does a high backflip, blocking Red Arrow's shot at Sportsmaster as she brandishes her sais. Red Arrow looked at both Aqualad and Armaspike.

"Take Sportsmater and those freaks of his. Cheshire's mine." Red Arrow told them.

"So territorial, and only our third date." Cheshire taunted.

She ignored both Aqualad and Armaspike as they both ran forward and jumped into a high vaulted front flip. They both landed solidly behind her and take off towards Sportsmaster and the Chameleon Twins. Armaspike was greeted by a sucker punch in the face by Kambei, but he countered it with a sidekick in the ribs. He sniffed for the other one which he caught the sense of Mai's presence and threw one of his quills at her before she attacked Aqualad from behind. She snarled at Armaspike while Aqualad looked at him to see that he was going to be outnumbered.

"Don't worry about me. Get Sportsmaster." Armaspike said. "I'll handle these two."

Aqualad nodded his head and went for Sportsmaster. Sportsmaster stepped up to one of Tseng's guards, who just beat down a henchman with a nightstick. The guard wasted no time turning towards Sportsmaster, aiming for his head with a cross-swipe of his stick. Sportsmaster dropped under it and begin circling of the attack. The guard charged forward, but as he does, Sportsmaster caught the guard's wrist and threw the guard over his hip.

He dodged a second guard who was aiming for the back of Sportsmaster's head, stepping aside to see the trike go past his face and kneed the guard in the stomach. Two more guards come up from both sides of Sportsmaster. He easily sidekick the one guard on his right, watching as the guard on his left missed the back of Sportsmaster's head, but he tried to swing back to hit Sportsmaster's mask. Sportsmater dodged and kicked the guard away with a tornado kick.

Then suddenly, a bright blue chain mace, about three inches in diameter, hit Sportsmater in the face. Sportsmaster hazily looked up to see Aqualad holding his waterbearers, the maces were flowing with his movements. As the teen charge at Sportsmaster, he swings his arms back and moved them in broad, crisscrossing arcs. The first strike missed Sportsmaster, but with his movements and the face that Sportsmaster had to jump back to avoid being hit again, Aqualad took a moment to charge in closer with a battle cry and remain on the offensive. His next strike hits Sportsmaster's left forearm-block but hit still jars the man enough to make it obvious that he is extending another sharp-ended staff.

Armaspike was holding his own against the twins which he dodged their attacks. The twins were trying their best to get him off balance, but he was more prepare for them. He fired off a couple of the quills that the twins. They both down his attacks as Chameleon one was getting upset and his eyes started to change shape. He started to change his form and his entire skin changed into scales, his fingernails were razor shape and his face changed into a Komodo Dragon. He let out a loud roar. Armaspike threw up his guard as Chameleon one charged at Armaspike with top speed and he knocked Armaspike into a nearby wall.

Aqualad Moves right as Sportsmaster was at his left, giving him more than enough time to find his footing behind the man. The two circled each other, Aqualad's left strike is blocked by Sportsmaster and he then crosses the two 'chain' into an X in front of him to block Sportsmaster's strike. Sportsmaster stepped forward to strike at Aqualad's head, but the dark-skinned teen easily slid out of the way.

Red Arrow had three arrows nocked and aimed at Cheshire. He released them, but Cheshire used her sais to knocked them away, striking the first two with changing her stance and executing a back walkover to knock away the third before dropping low to the ground.

"You called one of your little sidekick friends." Cheshire taunted. "But didn't you tell me they weren't in your league."

Red Arrow narrowed his eyes. Then suddenly there was a sound as Chameleon one was knocked through from the second floor and he landed back down to the first floor of the room. Armaspike was walking to the ledge which a long staff version of his quill in his hand. He jumped down and when he landed, he was greeted by a tail smack in the face which sends him flying into the statue.

Aqualad turned his head but he paid the price for it as Sportsmaster clotheslines him. The blonde man added more force behind him that let him flip Aqualad over and crashed one his stomach on the floor. The masked merc pauses, looking at the teen as he pulled out his own chain mace.

The hard metal denting the stone floor. Sportsmaster spun it quickly and slammed it down, aiming for Aqualad's head. But Aqualad rolled away to dodge the strike. Around the rest of the room, Rhelasian soldiers fight off the masked henchman that Sportsmaster brought with him. Everyone was fighting while the summit was in shambles.

The two Rhelsian leaders stand with two guards on their sides, while Lex Luthor is the only one who remained seated, his bodyguard standing unmoved, as he glares out at the chaos before him.

Meanwhile at Happy Harbor Football Field

On the track, by the football stands are six girls in cheerleader uniforms and Megan. While Conner is the only one in the stands, about ten rows up.

"Okay, Megan, you're up," Wendy said.

Megan smiled as she took center in front of the cheerleaders. She nodded and executes a simple cheer routine.

"Float like a butterfly. Sting like a bee. Hornets, Hornets, Can't be beaten. Bzz, ting, ow." Megan said.

She dropped her hands in front of her chest as she awaits the verdict. Wendy, the dual bun girl from before the school, and another girl with Raven hair who seems Asian all converse lowly for a few moments. Megan had a worry nervously look, as the two other girls head off to the right leaving Wendy to be the only one in front of Megan.

"How did I do?" Megan asked.

"I thought you did great," Wendy said. "And I'm really sorry about this."

Two girls from before bringing out a tub of water over Megan's head and dump it on her. Hearing her yelp, Conner snarls, standing up and not even realizing he hadn't unclenched his hands from the bench as he took some of the pieces with him.

Megan turned around to see Conner.

"Conner, NO!" M'gann thought.

Her voice echoes into his head which making his body stop instantly, but momentum keeps him moving and stumbles down the stands and the wall before crashing down to the ground hard. Megan cover to hide her gasped at the sight of Conner stumble.

"Sorry. It's a stupid initiation ritual that I wish my teammates would abandon." Wendy said.

"Wait. Initiation ritual?" Megan said.

She chuckled for a moment as she just realized it.

"Hello, Megan, that means I made the team. Um, I did, right?" Megan asked.

"You're a Bumblebee, girl."

"Thank you, thank you, thank you," Megan said, she jumped up and down with enjoy.

Though the double bun girl looked over at Conner.

"So, is that your boyfriend? Because he's hot, but kind of a freak."

While later they were alone, Conner picked up the stack of three books. While M'gann, who is now wearing his jacket, looked surprised.

"You're carrying my books?" M'gann asked.

Conner shrugged his shoulder.

"What, you want them to get wet?" Conner asked.

M'gann paused for a moment before smiling brightly.

Meanwhile at the Summit.

Red Arrow moved backward but he was running out of the room, as he encountered the fallen statues. He was stuck while Cheshire charged at him, he raised his bow to block her strikes. Then swings at her head, which she dropped under and remains in a handstand as he legs give her some breathing room from the ginger. As Red Arrow tried to strike down as she used her feet to touch the ground before rocketing into a high jump, both her sais ready to knock away the arrows that didn't come, and put nearly twenty feet between the two of them, She huffed a small breath before throwing her Sais at him which Red Arrow once again used his bow to block.

Chameleon was giving Armaspike a hard time as she was attacking so faster for him to keep up. Armaspike used his quills as daggers to attack Chameleon but she knocked them out of his hands she did a sidekick him in the chest as he knocked five feet away from her. Armaspike could feel the wind was knocked out of him for a moment which he spits out something but it wasn't saliva. It was a quill which his eyes widened at the sight of it. He smirked for a moment because he had a plan for his next attack.

He brought his arms into an X stance as quills started to form from arms and he charged at her. She dodged his attacks which she smirked because she knew that Armaspike was making it easy for her but not what she thinks. When he saw an opening, he inhaled for a moment and released a quill from his mouth. Chameleon two dodge the quill as she was shocked to see that he had another way to release his quills. Then Armaspike kicked her in the stomach and she was sent to her brother who was still out cold. Then Armaspike shoots a barrage of quills which it formed bars around the both of them.

Sportsmaster strikes at Aqualad, with a foil, who evades the strike with a simple sidestep. The teen took a few small steps back and his waterbearers become twin falchions. As he brandishes them at Sportsmaster the man simply raise his foil as if a match is about to start between them.

"Not bad, Lad. Better than your team did a Santa Prisca or Bialya." Sportsmaster said, casually.

Aqualad's stance didn't move, and his face didn't change.

"How did you...?" Aqualad asked.

"Let's just say I have an inside source. Very inside." Sportsmaster said.

He narrowed his eyes as Aqualad shifted into an even stronger stance and Red Arrow now took a spot-on top of the fallen statues. Another arrow nocked, as he drew his string back, he saw something on the ceiling.

"Aqualad, Armaspike, let's end this." Red Arrow said.

He released an explosive arrow that hits the sprinklers. Then Armaspike started to transform into his armadillo ball form. Aqualad barely glances up as his tattoos glow almost white and he raised his arms up and out. From the shallow water, a twister rises up and becomes a serpent that charges at any of the foes still standing.

Aqualad used the tail of the Serpent and saw Armapike in his armadillo ball from which the tail grabbed him. Then the serpent threw Armaspike at some of the henchmen which knocked them all out cold.

Sportsmaster's eyes narrow, but Cheshire dropped in front of him and put on her mask. Pulling something from her back and throwing it into the mouth of the beast. Which Aqualad let it drop as Red Arrow landed beside him and Armaspike rolled over them, but as smoke covered them and they started coughing. From inside the dark smoke, mere inches in front of the teens is a final henchman. Holding two swords and aiming for the Rhelsian leaders.

"Mercy." Lex growl.

His silent bodyguard raised her arm, but it opened up to reveal a laser gun set up underneath her fake skin. Which knocked the man to the side and to the ground with nothing more than a grunt. Aqualad, Armspike, and Red Arrow turned back towards the window, finding where Cheshire, Chameleon twin, and Sportsmaster went and no one else is moving.

The Rhelsian dignitaries look at Mercy in shock as her arm collapsed back to hide the gun and if it wasn't for her torn sleeve there would be no visible evidence that she had done anything.

"Gives new meaning to the arms race, doesn't she?" Lex asked.

Tseng and Li sigh in relief.

"That technology is most impressive, Luthor," Li told him.

"We owe you our lives, sir." Tseng agreed, shaking hands with Luthor.

"They owe him their lives." Red Arrow asked both Aqualad and Armaspike, feeling slighted.

As everyone was walking out of the building and Cat Grant was standing in front of the building with her camera crew.

"Yes, quite a coup for Lex Luthor. Under his leadership, North and South Rhelasia are signing a treaty which could eventually lead to reunification." Cat said.

Aqualad, Armaspike, and Red Arrow watched the signing and Luthor for a few more moments before they head towards the door.

"I can't believe we just did a solid for Lex Luthor." Red Arrow said.

"Not for Luthor, for peace. Beyond that, if Ra's and League of Shadows wanted to sabotage the Summit the signing of the treaty renders their contract moot." Aqualad said.

The three teens stop just before stepping outside.

"It's over," Aqualad said.

"Is it? I heard what Sportsmaster said. Do you really think there's a mole on your team feeding him intel?" Red Arrow asked.

Aqualad didn't show any of his thoughts on his face but looked away from Red Arrow to stare at the Fountain.

"I cannot rule out the possibility. I will investigate quietly." Aqualad said.

He looked at Armaspike because he realized that Armaspike heard about it too.

"I mean we will investigate this quietly." Aqualad connected himself.

Red Arrow raised an eyebrow.

"Not telling them." Red Arrow asked.

Aqualad turned towards Red Arrow once again.

"I do not want the unit unraveling over baseless suspicions. And if there is a mole, I have no wish to tip him or her off." Aqualad said.

Red Arrow gives Aqualad a small salute and a slight smiling smirk.

"Good luck with that." Red Arrow said.

He was getting ready to take his leave.

"One moment, my friend," Aqualad spoke up, making Red Arrow paused. "Tonight, you could have called Green Arrow for help or the Justice League. Instead, your first instinct was to call the Cave."

"You're right. The team deserves...has my respect." Red Arrow admitted. "I'm still getting used to this solo act stuff. But if you need me, I'll be there."

He smiled and offered his hand to the Atlantean the two shook on it. Then Red Arrow turned his attention to Armaspike and offered his hand to him. Armaspike smiled as he shook it.

"You have skills for a rookie. Just make sure that you keep them out of trouble." Red Arrow said.

Armaspike smiled as he nodded his head. Then Red Arrow took his leave which leaving the both of them alone for a moment. Armaspike turned his head to Aqualad.

"So, what are we going to do. If the team manage to find out about the mole, they'll never trust us again. Are you sure that you want to do this?" Armaspike asked.

"Yes, You are part of this now, I know that you don't want to lose the trust that you made with some of the members. Just pretend that nothing happens okay." Aqualad reassures him.

Meanwhile at Lex's Corps Tower.

In the tower, Luthor pours two drinks. He was smiling because he had successfully gotten the treaty sign.

"That went well, Both Li and Tseng were quite impressed with Mercy's...equipment and are quite literally buying into the peace. Our plan to ensure the eventual reunification of Rhelasia under LexCorp's political and economic...guidance is a success." Lex said.

He turned away from the bar and to his guest. Then his guest took the glass that Lex had offered. The guest was none other than Ra's al Ghul who was standing before the billionaire. The two toast and Raysh gets the final word.

"And thus, another corner of the world sees The Light," Raysh said.
