Chapter 1
(A/N) Here is the first edited chapter. Hope you enjoy.
It was a strange weekend for the Young Justice team, although it was a long weekend across the country the weather in their current location didn't motivate any of them to venture outside, and it seems even Wally and Robin have their limits when it comes to video games (well Wally could only take being beaten so many times). At the same time their teachers had decided to be kind and gave them no homework this break to complete except for them to have fun (Wally was trying to persuade the others that the country's teachers had been abducted and replaced, but no one was really listening). They team just stared up at the cave ceiling while they laid on their back listening to whatever song the radio DJ decided to play, a few were actually beginning to hope Wally and Artemis got into fight to they'd have something to do (Robin just wanted to see how much money he could make) that is until The Batman called out and answered their silent prayers (and Wally's spoken prayer).
"Report to the mission room."
Up like, well Kid Flash, Wally was running (almost fast enough to finally vibrate through something, his cry of "Finally!" drawn out into a buzz. Quickly, but not quite as fast as Wally, the rest of the team went to get ready, no one caring what the parameters of the mission was or who they were going after.
Never again.
After the three hour flight out to a small warehouse island, the team (really just Wally) was dying to get going. Their mission; find out what organization or who was using the warehouse and what they were using it for, it was supposed to be a simple surveillance mission, but after their experience, everyone was prepared for some sort of fight, and likely all of them would be shocked if the mission actually went as planned for once.
The team leader, Aqualad, began to split off the team of young heroes up into groups of two. Each pair was assigned a location to either place cameras or set up camp and keep an eye out.
"Kid Flash you're with Artemis. You two a go set up the cameras in the warehouse and then head to the northern warehouses to keep an eye out." This was greeted by a groan, one that was quickly silenced by a glare from the Atlantean. "You two need each other you're going into the location with the highest risk. Artemis can watch your back while you set up and if you need a fast escape Kid can provide."
Presented with his logic, the pair couldn't find a valid reason to complain without coming across like whinny toddlers, well Kid didn't really mind, he whined all the time, but Artemis had an image to uphold and she'd be damned if she allowed Wallace West to be the end of the fear she instilled.
"Super Boy and Miss Martian will set up by the western gates before going back to the ship to watch from the sky. Robin and I will set up cameras along the east perimeter before heading over to the east side. Remember radio silence. Reconvene back her once the targets are clear."
And with that the team split up off to, as Wally put it, mess up the bad guys' plans.
"Hey." Kid whispered. "Hey Arty."
Breath Artemis, the blonde archer thought. Keep your cool for the mission. You can kill him when we get back to Mount Justice.
"Arty I'm bored."
I tried, she thought half-heartedly.
"Would you shut up Kid!" She snapped while pressing against the wall before quickly taking a glance down the hall.
"What?" The speedster asked defensively. "I'm only trying to make conversation with my teammate. Don't I have a right to know who I'm trusting my life with." His dramatic voice made Artemis sigh impatiently.
"Just finish setting up so we can move on." The red headed boy sighed dramatically, but he stopped talking and that was all Artemis cared about. She was a little calmer after that… until Kid started poking her in the side.
"You're finished?" She hissed. Of course he was finished, Artemis thought. "Let's get mov—"
"Hello," a deep voice greeted, "I'm so glad you could make it."
"Really!" Kid whined, despite the situation (which Artemis thinks is 100% Wally's fault) Artemis smacked him over the head before releasing a slew of arrows at the enemy. If it weren't for the bullets flying toward him he would have commented, but there was bullets so he didn't.
Kid Flash jumped into the fight running around a few of the pathetic looking henchmen rendering them dizzy and useless before moving to the more serious ones. Artemis looked over her shoulder in Kid's direction after pistol whipping one goon (with his own gun she'd like to mention). She moved to go help him as was up against three guys in black, but that wasn't what she needed to worry about at the moment. Kid Flash wasn't worried about himself at all. He moved on from henchman to henchman enjoying their comical looks of pain each time he whipped their butts, but out of his sight there was something to be worried about.
Artemis was fighting for her life. Her breaths were heavy and for anyone to get that out of her was a feat. Her quiver was still attached to her back and the shafts of arrows stuck out of the top, but she wasn't using them for some reason. Kid assumed she simply couldn't get a good opening to grab one and shoot her opponent.
"Kid," she called out breathlessly trying
