Hi everybody! First off, I want to thank anyone who reviewed on my first fanfic, because you motivated me to write this! This is going to be multiple chapters, but I'm not sure exactly how many yet. I'll hopefully update every few days unless something comes up.

Disclaimer: I do not own Young Justice

The team was seated around the large TV in the living area of Mt. Justice, headquarters of the Young Justice team. Wally and Artemis were, as always, at each other's throats. This time over the TV remote, which was in pieces on the floor under a shallow dent in one of the walls.

"Way to go, Baywatch, you broke the remote!"

"I did not! You threw it!"

"You took it in the first place! What do you even have against watching Downton Abbey?" Artemis yelled, now on her feet and glaring at the speedster, who also jumped to his feet to glare back at her.

"Because it's a stupid show! I mean how boring can you get?" the redhead replied heatedly.

As the two yelled back and forth, the rest of their team tried in their respective ways to block out the fight. Kaldur, seated in a single chair a few yards away from the rest of the teens, stared intently at the book in his hands, even though he hadn't turned a page since the fight began. Superboy also had an intense look of concentration on his face, though his attention was focused on glaring at the cartoons Wally had managed to flip to before the remote went flying. M'gann was watching the fight with a mixture of confusion and annoyance at her friends. She never could understand why the two hated each other so much. Earth customs were still much of a mystery to the young martin. The youngest of the team, Robin, was sitting next to where his best friend had been moments before, typing on his computer and seemingly oblivious to the fighting next to him.

Just as Artemis was looking ready to hit the speedster, a mechanical voice announced, "Recognized, Batman 02."

At once the two fell silent and Artemis unclenched her fists. Everyone's heads turned toward the doorway, hoping for a mission after a week of boredom. As if on cue, Batman's voice echoed from the celling, "Team, mission room in five. Suit up."

"Yes!" Wally shouted, grinning widely, "We haven't had a mission in days! I wonder what it is. I hope it's about some really powerful villains the League can't handle!"

"Idiot, if it was that important, Batman wouldn't have given us five minutes and we would have been warned before this," Artemis said, already starting toward her room to change.

"Not if they thought they could handle it!" Wally countered quickly, "And maybe the fight's cooled down a bit so we have time to get some info, or the bad guys got away and we need to find them!" Before he even finished Artemis was out of the room and half way to her bedroom in the mountain, leaving an indignant redhead talking to thin air. "Dude. Can you believe her?" Wally asked, turning toward where he knew Robin had been sitting only to find the spot empty and no sign of the thirteen year old anywhere in the room. "I hate it when he does that," he grumbled, speeding toward his own room to change before running to the mission room.

When Wally skidded to a halt on the brightly lit floor of the mission room, he discovered that once again he was the last one there. The rest of his team and Batman were watching him, a holographic map of Happy Harbour, Rhode Island, behind them.

"You're late. Learn to get ready faster. If there's an emergency you need to be ready in an instant. No messing around," Batman said, turning back to the map. Robin smirked as his friend came to stand beside him, looking somewhat defeated and mumbling about 'wasn't messing around' and 'breaking the sound barrier in my sleep.'

"As I was saying," Batman said, "There has been a bank robbery in downtown Happy Harbour." A red dot appeared on the map a few miles from the mountain.

"That's it? Why can't the police handle it?" Wally burst out angrily, only to get an elbow in the ribs curtsey of Gotham's Boy Wonder. Rubbing his side, Wally realized his mistake and tried to avoid Batman's glare.

After a few seconds the Dark Knight continued, "Now, the local police have the building surrounded and the robbers are confirmed to all be inside. They would have handled it themselves but the robbers have ten hostages inside and threatened to kill them if a helicopter isn't delivered to them in one hour. The hostages are mostly employees but a few other citizens as well. You are to subdue the robbers and rescue the hostages without any casualties so the police can go in."

With nods of understanding and a slightly scared and apologetic look from Wally the team headed toward the garage for their bikes.

Once on the road Wally looked to Robin and asked, still sounding worried and with some of his words blurring together, "Washe mad? I couldn't tell. I think he was mad. DidImakehimmad? Could you t-"

Robin cut him off, "Dude, calm down. He was irritated, not mad. He won't come and kill you in you're sleep if that's what you're worried about."

Wally laughed but sounded relieved nonetheless, "Hah! No way! I was just...checking. You know, he's the Batman and all...Could be planning anything..." he trailed off uncertainly. Robin just laughed and sped up his R-cycle, swerving around the others to the front of the group. Artemis grinned and sped to catch up, soon turning the short trip into a race when the rest of the team joined in.

The laughing and shouts of their race quickly died away once the teens reached the line of police cars surrounding the largest bank in Happy Harbour. Immediately they got to business, Robin opening up his wrist computer typing so quickly no one could read what was flicking across the holo-screen. By then, however, they'd all learned not to bother even trying. Robin would tell them when he found something, whatever he was searching for.

Aqualad questioned the police and surveyed the surrounding buildings before deciding to enter on the top floor of the bank and try to catch the robbers by surprise. They alighted on a roof next to the building and prepared to go in. M'gann flew in an open window in camouflage mode to scout out the room before signalling the others to come in.

Wally prepared to jump across the small span between the two buildings, planning on getting a running start to boost his momentum. Almost as soon as he started, Wally heard a shout that sounded like his name but he didn't think fast enough to stop. Before he knew it, someone tripped the speedster only to catch him neatly in black gloved hands before he hit the roof face first.

Wally heard a relieved sigh and Robin pulled his friend farther back from the edge of the roof.

"Wha-?" he began, but Robin cut him off, pointing to the ground a foot in front of where he had tripped his friend.

"Trip wire," Robin explained at Wally's confused expression. Looking closely, he could just make out a thin wire suspended a few inches above the ground. "Connected to a mine under the roof over there," Robin pointed to a spot on the roof off to their right. "If you had set that off we'd have been blown to pieces."

"Why didn't you warn me sooner?" Wally gasped; amazed at close he had come to killing his friends. By accident, of course, but no less terrifying a prospect.

"I only just found it. It didn't turn up on my original scans," Robin stated bluntly, already opening up his wrist computer again, "And I'm pretty sure there are more around the building and probably inside it too."

The rest of the team only just seemed to be comprehending what had happened. As they did, their eyes grew wide at the dangerous turn the mission had taken.

A/N: Please review if you liked it! I promise it will get more exciting in later chapters, if this was a little slow.
