I can't disarm the bomb. It's going off in thirty seconds. Everyone move to the rendezvous point, Nightwing thought thankful for the psychic link. The flashlight in his mouth rendered him unable to speak as he closed the panel on the bomb. As he stood he put it back in his belt.

"Let's go Artemis." He turned to the blond girl next to him. They sprinted to the ladder and climbed to the next level of the rusted tower. On the rooftops around them they could see Superboy and Beast Boy leaping from building to building; Superboy was leaping as far as he could, taking three buildings at a time, while Beast Boy ran just behind him as a deer. Miss Martian and Zatana were flying low over the ground taking out whatever goons remained. A hundred yards away, they could see the flat topped building where they were meeting. "You think you can make that shot?" Nightwing asked.

"Oh yeah." She said confidently. Artemis raised her bow, taking aim at the raised portion of the building roof. She loosed her arrow taking a metal cable with it. Her aim was true and the arrow stuck fast.

"Now let's get out of here before this place blows." Nightwing attached his device specifically designed for zip-lining to the cable; Artemis rearranged her bow to do the same. With the confidence that only came from constantly flying through the air, Nightwing jumped from the tower, sliding at top speed to safety on the roof. Artemis followed. Half way down the line the bomb went off. "Artemis!"

The tower pitched to the side crumbling as fire and thick black smoke spread through it. The wire went slack and Artemis started falling towards the ground, her momentum still propelling her forward. She screamed and reached out her hand to Nightwing. He started to reach toward her; his mind went numb and he froze, watching as she fell beyond his line of sight.
