The team sat in the living room of the cave running through previous missions and strategies. Roy walked passed them, "See you around."

Wally spoke up, not bothering to look over his shoulder at him, "Give it a rest, Roy… She's gone."

Roy stopped and turned to face them, "I'm not giving up! I won't lose hope."

Conner turned his head to face Roy, "What hope? She's been gone for six months."

Roy tried to hide his pain behind his anger by closing his eyes tightly as he spoke, "…Don't tell me to stop hoping because-"

Kaldur stood up and put his hand on Roy's shoulder, "We are not asking you to stop hoping. We only ask that you quit searching. There is no use in searching for someone who-"

Roy shoved his arm away not caring to hide his pain anymore, "I don't care if you don't think she's alive! I know she is and I! WILL! FIND! HER!..." Roy angrily walked to the door, "and if you won't help…it's up to me." He turned away and left without another word. The team exchanged sad looks.

M'gann stared at the floor. When Conner's and Robin's hands touched her shoulders she stood up, rejecting their touch, and silently walked down the hall to her room.

Wally watched her until she was out of sight. "Poor M'gann. She's been taking this really hard."

Kaldur looked at him, "All of us have been affected by the situation. M'gann and…" he turned his attention to Conner and Robin, "Wally worst of us all."

Wally looked at him, "What are you talking about?" his emerald eyes trying to hide the flashes of pain behind them.

Robin sat on the arm of the chair, "We saw you in her room today." Wally stared at the floor not wanting to admit anything. Robin put a hand on his shoulder. "We understand that-"

Wally jumped up and turned on them. "Artemis is gone! There is nothing more to say!" Wally looked the other three in the eye furiously and zipped off to his trophy room.

All was silent for a few moments before Conner stood up and walked down the hall to M'gann's room. Kaldur turned to Robin, "Now will you tell me what is bothering you my friend?"

Robin looked at his friend and gave him a half-hearted smile. He gathered his thoughts before speaking, "Artemis was still on radar until a month and a half ago. She is strong and stubborn. She doesn't let anyone tell her anything and will only show pain if it's killing her. If for some reason she hadn't wanted us to find her…wouldn't she have destroyed everything she was wearing immediately? And if she was dead, wouldn't whoever did it rub it in our faces? I truly have hope that she's still alive but I don't believe she's ever going to come back." Robin put his face in his hands. "I don't know what to think anymore."

Kaldur leaned closer slightly, "That is one thing I admire about you. You can stay rational but still hope with such small probability. I personally have no hope in her coming back."

Robin looked up at him. "Artemis was-is my best friend so I hope she is still alive but I don't believe she is." He hung his head, "I just wish we knew where she was."

Paula took the last shirt from the dresser and placed it in the box on the floor. She looked around the room. It had been painted green only ten months before. There were Star City newspaper clippings, fan letters, and photos of Artemis and her mentor Green Arrow or his civilian form of Oliver Queen hanging on the walls. All of the shelves and the desk were boxed up and the closet and dresser had been cleaned out. Artemis's bed was gone and all that remained of her personal possessions were the wall hangings and her collection of used arrow heads. Paula watched as Oliver carefully removed the items from the wall. He turned to the arrow heads. He picked one up and turned it over in his hands looking at the attached tag. He smiled and chuckled lightly. Paula asked, "What's so funny?"

Oliver looked at her and brought the arrow head to her. "Artemis labels them with a date and what she used them for. This is the third one…"

Paula took the arrow head and read it aloud, "August 3rd, saved Wally's butt from Amazo robot." Paula smiled. She remembered Artemis telling her about how Wally reacted when Robin told him that it was her arrow. She looked at the second tag, "September 22nd, saved cave from Reds with EMP shock-wave." She remembered again how Artemis had come home scared but confident about seeing her friends that had powers, and were more experienced, taken down but being able to defeat the Reds. Paula smiled again at the memory of her daughter but it quickly faded. She stared at the arrow head playing with it in her hands, "It's so hard to believe that they called off the search. I understand that she's gone and it hurts to say but I believe it, but I still have that hope in my heart that she's out there. I just want my daughter back."

Oliver knelt beside her, "I know that it hurts and I believe it too but I still hope she's alive somewhere, and if she is we both know that she will come back. She cares too much even if she doesn't want to admit it." He gave her a hug, holding her, comforting her, in hopes that she would be alright.

Her heart pounded. She didn't know where she was going. She just ran. She had a sense that she could find a safe haven somewhere but didn't know where. She cut corners and quickly lost her pursuers not knowing how she had done it. She ran into a cramped little space. "Gotham" she said clearly.

A short two seconds later, "Access denied" rang out a robotic voice. She began getting frustrated and immediately pulled out wires and cords and started cutting and binding. She typed in a few long codes she had no idea how she knew and suddenly a bright light blinded her.

She raced down the road several blocks to a small apartment building. She ran through the building searching for someone but found no one. She ran back out and down the road several blocks again. She returned to the cramped little phone booth and in an unknown language called out, "Mount Justice" not knowing where she was going but finding it calmed her by saying the name. Yet again she was blinded.

The team was hanging around the cave with no missions for a while on Batman's orders. They were watching reruns or sleeping with little else to do. Batman called the team to the main room. They all sluggishly complied. Batman appeared on the screen waited impatiently until they were all there to proceed. "I am ordering radio silence until further notice. No telepathic communications either. There has been a breach in the systems and until it is under control there will be no open frequencies. Have I made myself clear?"

There were a few mumbled agreements and some nodded heads and Batman took that as an understanding and disconnected. Robin looked at the team. None of them looked at all enthusiastic, especially not M'gann or Wally. "This is the closest we've had to a mission in a month and a half. Is anyone going to perk up even in the slightest?" They all stared at him.

A bright flash came from behind them and they turned to see who had entered without the computer's introduction. A Vietnamese girl with black hair stood in front of them. She seemed exhausted but keeping herself standing…barely. M'gann used a mental attack and the girl cringed in severe pain, held slightly above the ground by the mental ability. Realization struck as Robin recognized her, "M'gann stop!" He tackled M'gann. "She isn't a threat!"

M'gann's hold broke and the girl dropped to her knees and passed out on the floor for lack of energy. Robin stared at her. He was a mindless zombie. "Conner, take her to the medical wing. M'gann call J'onn. We will need assistance," Kaldur said taking complete control of the situation.

They took the intruder to the medical wing while M'gann tried to get a message to her uncle. Uncle, we have the intruder. She needs medical help. Please hurry.

Before long Batman, Green Arrow, Martian Manhunter, and several other League members had arrived in a panic worrying about their charges. "What has happened M'gann? You were slightly out of your range and the message was unclear. Who needs medical assistance?"

M'gann smiled, proud of herself for conveying a message at such a distance, "the intruder is the one that needs medical attention. She was really weak when she arrived but was weakened to the point of passing out when I attacked."

Batman walked into the cave and saw Robin sitting on the floor curled up in a ball. He rushed to him. Robin didn't notice. He continued mumbling, "It cant be. She's dead. There is no way. But she's here. But she's dead." He didn't take any notice to Batman trying to snap him from his trance. Batman decided it was best to give him time and turned to Martian Manhunter and Green Arrow who were motioning for him to join them.

The three heroes walked down a hall to the infirmary. The girl lay unbound on the bed facing the opposite wall. She was still unconscious. Martian Manhunter turned to his companions, "I will see if I can reach her through her own mind. I may be able to understand her motives if I can access her thoughts." They nodded and proceeded.

The girl felt the intrusion in her mind. She was in no pain from it but blocked the martian out of her mind. "Psimon!" She yelled in an extremely thick accent. She screamed at the top of her lungs. She yelled a few words in an unfamiliar language and continued screaming.

Batman took a good look at the girl's face when Martian Manhunter released his grip on her mind. Batman's eyes grew wide. "She looks like Athena!" The girl sat perfectly silent and still, staring at him. She attacked with the little strength she had regained.

Batman easily overcame her. "Who is Athena?" Green Arrow asked as Batman handcuffed the girl.

Batman looks at him, "Athena was Artemis's twin sister."

Green Arrow's thoughts started spinning. "Come with me. Bring her," he said as he walked out of the infirmary. Everyone was in the main room of the cave. Green Arrow pulled up a photo editing program and a photo of Artemis. He clicked a few buttons and changed the hair in the photo to black. Everyone became silent. They looked between the picture and the girl.

Robin looked up at the photo on the screen. It looked just like the girl. It looked like Athena. Green Arrow changed it back and forth between black and blonde. Robin remembered being the one to take the photo. It was Artemis! She was back!
