Ravage Part III 7
Chapter Twenty-Two:
Artemis watched as the kid stumbled closer. He appeared dehydrated and exhausted. He kept stumbling toward them until he reached Artemis.
"So you're the great Artemis, huh? I thought you acted nice to your guests." the boy said after a moment of silence.
Revenge smirked.
Artemis grabbed the kid and tossed him to the ground, pinning him with her foot and her spear. His mask... It was just like Nightwing's... But looks were deceiving. "You've got a sense of humor. That'll do you no good in the colony. My name's Artemis all right. How did you know?"
"Nightwing sent me."
"Idiot." Revenge muttered.
"What makes you think I have anything to do with the Justice League?" Artemis asked.
"You were Green Arrow's Protege for four years, dated Kid Flash for three. Retired six months ago. Worked on--"
"You've said enough." Artemis said. "My turn to ask questions: Who are you?"
"Red Robin." the boy replied, grinning. He leaped up and grabbed Artemis from behind, putting her in a head-lock. "Oh, and if I wanted you dead, it would've happened, clear?"
"Clear," Artemis choked out.
Revenge laughed silently. "Bird Boy has promise." he muttered.
Harvey and Jain raised their eyebrows.
"I've never seen anyone give Artemis her head like that." Harvey said, laughing.
"Shut up! We obviously can't trust him!" Jain replied.
"We can, we can. He's telling the truth. He's Batman's new sidekick."
"Partner." Robin corrected.
"Don't we all say that." Artemis asked.
"Indeed we do." A familiar voice said from above her.
Artemis turned to see Cassie floating above her along with Revenge and another guy.
"Cass!" Artemis exclaimed.
Cassie landed and hugged Artemis. Revenge patted her on the shoulder and Artemis turned and hugged him too. Revenge slowly returned the hug uneasily and Artemis backed up, laughing nervously and brushing a strand of hair our of her face.
"Sorry was--"
"It's fine, Artemis. I told them."
"What?" Liam asked. "Are those two dating?"
Robin stepped next to Liam and looked him over. "Who are you?" he asked.
"That's Liam. He can read anyone's emotions." Cassie said.
"Hnh." Red Robin replied and turned back to Revenge.
"Hey! M'gann can read minds and you don't have a problem with that!" Cassie said.
"Emotions are different than thoughts." Robin said, crossing his arms.
"Okay, I'm just getting a head-ache now." Jain said.
Artemis turned back to her friends. "Oh! Jain, Harvey, this is Red Revenge, Red Robin, Wondergirl, and umm... Her friend?"
Revenge and Robin snorted in disbelief. Cassie frowned at them.
"Okay...guys, this is Jain and Harvey."
"Powers?" Robin asked.
"Sleep and Control over taiga related items." Artemis said.
"Nice to know, we need to get you out of here." Revenge said.
"So much for the party conversation." Harvey said.
"Where's the exit?" Artemis asked.
"Where's the exit?" Revenge repeated.
"Yes. Where is it?" Artemis asked again, placing her hands on her hips.
Revenge paused for a moment. "There is no exit."
"What?!"
"Somebody is going to have to blow us out. We need M'gann's help. She can contact Nightwing and he can--"
"How many of you came in here after me?" Artemis asked.
"The three of us, Batgirl, Miss Martian, Kid Flash--"
"Wally came in here?!" Artemis demanded. "We are not leaving without him!"
"Me and my big mouth." Revenge muttered, face-palming himself.
-----------------------------------------------------
"And the castle was completely destroyed?" Savage asked.
"Yes, Master. Unfortunately as well, the test subject was taken by the heroes. We just managed to send the last shipment of girls to the Culling." Tarantula reported.
"Our inside source reports that the Justice League sent their brats to rescue Green Arrow's former protege." Manta said. "We must act quickly while Batman and Superman are still out of touch."
"Agreed." Vandall replied. "Contact our...hired help."
"Already here." Sportsmaster said.
Vandall turned to see Sportsmaster, Deathstroke, and his daughter Ravager standing in the doorway.
"What do you want?" Ravager asked. Her father shushed her.
Vandall smiled. "The young team of heroes is in the Culling. Take them out.
So commands...the Light."

Greetings! I come in Geekiness!
Not really, just with some good news and bad news. Which do you want to hear first? Bad news it is. I'm cancelling the Red Revenge four part finale and the four season web-series that would've followed.
*Listens to silent audience* I'm sorry you're so displeased. *more silence* Anyway, onto the good news.
I just purchased a website which will become the Home of the Black Hero in the very near future. I'm working on books, videos, character slots, and maybe even a game for the website! No confirmed date when this will be up but hopefully this summer.
Also, I'm restarting the Red Revenge series in his own world where everything belongs to me. The first book (the creation story, what else) will be published in three parts (for more details, stay tuned to my wall.)
So, while I'm cancelling Red Revenge VI: The Legend Falls here, I will be opening the Black Hero's website and publishing the first in a ten book saga this Summer. Stay tuned!
