Decemberfest: Because it is December, I have decided to release one (or more) chapter(s) every day. Please enjoy!

Part Two:

Robin followed their new team mate outside. That's where he lost him. Robin looked around, but eventually gave up and headed back inside.

He snuck through the base to where the rest of the Team was supposed to be. When he got there, Artemis and Wally were bickering as usual.

"Will you two stop it?" Robin asked. "Make out at the base."

"Yes, right now, we are trying to complete a mission." Revenge said, stepping out of the shadows.

"Go back where you came from!" Artemis snapped at him, sticking a grenade on the generator.

"For your information, blondie." Wally snickered at that. "I was saving a few dozen soldiers."

"What?" Megan asked, looking up.

"Didn't check the base for life forms did you? There were a bunch of guards. If I hadn't gotten them out, they'd have been dead when the bombs went off."

The Team just stared at him.

"Lesson learned, let's go." Revenge said, and walked out the door, but not before bumping into Artemis on his way out.

"That little-"

Wally grabbed Artemis, holding her back from assaulting their new teammate.

-------------------------------------------------------------

Mount Justice-

"Good job," Batman said. "Shower and go home."

While the rest of the Team departed, Aqualad stayed behind.

"Yes, Kaldur?" Batman asked.

"If I may speak with you confidentially." Aqualad said. "Red Revenge is making the Team..."

"Irritated?" Batman said as more of a statement than a question.

"That is one way to put it, yes." Kaldur said.

"I understand how hard it is to deal with a new addition to the Team, especially the way Revenge acts. But give him time. He is used to working solo and not being noticed. This is an entirely new field for him." Batman said.

"I will do my best to make him feel welcome. I am not sure how I can get the rest of the Team to warm up to him." Kaldur replied.

"Take a field trip." Batman said, stepping into the zeta-tube.

"Recognized, Batman. Zero-Two."

"Don't expect him to reveal his identity." Batman added.

Kaldur thought. Maybe Batman's suggestion was a bad idea.

-------------------------------------------------------------

Red Revenge stepped out of the transporter to find Artemis waiting for him in full costume.

"Didn't take Boy Wonder long to figure out where I live, did it?" he asked, walking past her.

Artemis glared at him, but ran up beside him.

"Let me guess, you want to talk about why I act like a jerk." Revenge said, still not looking at the archer.

"Actually, I thought we could go out for ice-cream." Artemis said.

"I have a feeling this isn't about ice cream." Revenge said, point blank.

Artemis was dressed in her usual civvies. Revenge was a different case. He wore jeans, and a jacket. His gloves were still on. A hat hung low over his head and sunglasses covered his eyes. He sat deep in the shadows.

"No, it isn't." Artemis said. "How did you know that I used to work for the Shadows?"

"Same way I know Aqualad's father is Black Manta." Revenge said. "Same way that I know Miss Martian's weakness is fire, and that Wally-"

"Okay!" Artemis said. "Why are you on this Team? It's obvious you don't enjoy it."

Revenge chuckled, and it sort of scared Artemis. "No, I do enjoy watching your petty squabbles. It's amazing you get anything done. And for the 'why am I here?' I thought it would be a fun experiment. I grew tired of working alone. Even Batman can't do everything alone."

Artemis looked at him. "You could at least tell us your secret identity."

Revenge snorted. "I don't trust anyone, blondie."

"Stop calling me that!"

"Should I call you Tigress?"

"I never took that name." Artemis said bitterly. "My mother went by that, not me."

"Hmph." Revenge said. He looked at his watch. "Gotta go, ice cream's on me." He put a few dollars on the table and left.

-------------------------------------------------------------

The girl kneeled. Around her, a circle of computer screens lit, one after the other. Her masters, the Light wished to speak with her.

"Masters." she said.

"Rise young one." the lead voice said. She obeyed.

"You have progressed far, and learned much. We believe you are ready to become a full member of the League of Shadows." a voice to her right said.

"I am honored." the girl said, bowing her head.

"We have one mission for you to complete, one none of our other apprentices have been able to complete." a third voice said.

"Anything to serve the Light."

She could hear the grin in the voice when it spoke again. "Kill the young, heroes."

“I'm bored!” Wally exclaimed.
“So find someone else to bug!” Artemis replied, turning back to her book.
“I can't.”
“And why the heck not?!”
“Because Kaldur went with Aquaman, Superboy and Megan are who knows where and Robin didn't come today. You're the only one here!”
“Well stop bugging me! I have homework. Besides, don't you have some report Batman gave you for snooping around his house or something?”
“Oh yeah.”
Recognized: Robin B01
A grin spread across his face.
“Too late. Rob's back!”
Wally sped off and tackled his best friend as he stepped through the kitchen/living...

"Let us go!"

"I had orders to have you executed in an hour," Evelyn said. "It appears that they have been overlooked."
"Let us go!" Artemis strained.
Evelyn laughed. "Not without a fight, of course." She looked at Jeannette. "You take Erica. She is out of my league."
"What are we going to do?" Artemis asked before we fell down.
Evelyn doesn't know that Superboy has anger issues. We could leave it at that.
With a loud yell, Superboy lunged at an unsuspecting Evelyn, bursting through the wall.
"Artemis, stop the countdown!" I ordered. She nodded and went to the computer screen, when Air sent me flying to...

Wally was vibrating in place; he was so impatient to learn what Batman had found that he was shaking at super speed. He crossed his arms and sighed loudly while he waited for the Dark Knight to appear in the mountain.
“Wally stop vibrating!” Artemis yelled.
He glared at her, only encouraging the shaking.
“I can't! I want to know what Batman found out!”
“So do we!”
“Enough.”
Both heroes straightened up at the sound of the voice; geez where did Batman come from! It's like he lived in the shadows! Oh wait. Wally thought. He kinda does. Even more so now that Rob... wally shook the thought...

“If I didn't know any better,” Wally started, “I'd say someone was following us.”
“You mean like people always do?” Artemis responded.
Wally nodded. He looked around them. It was early morning and no body should have been awake. The only reason the team wasn't at the mountain was because Batman had decided to wake them up earlier than normal so they could patrol. And Robin was totally awake! Even Wally wasn't awake as fast as Robin. Then again, the boy only got like four hours of sleep in a day. Wally yawned, feeling his feet start to drag. First he felt only the early sun shinning...

Shadow Kat Part 3

So here she was, perched on the top a warehouse building, peeking through the skylight. Anna had gotten the call 2 days ago about Kane practically taking Max hostage. She had decided not to contact Robin and the team, because one hostage was good enough. Anna was practically frozen, waiting for the right moment, but as for now, she remained hidden. Kane was probably 30 feet below, just waiting there, occasionally fight practice or a simple phone call. But what Anna was looking for was the perfect moment when both Kane and Max were in the same room so she could kick Kane and his friends' butt,...

She woke up with a terrible headache. What happened? she thought. "We had to knock you out, you were trying to kill us!" Screamed a voice. "Who is that?" i asked out loud. It's me, said the martian. "I see you're awake," said Batman, "Thats good. Now tell us who you're working for." It was more of a command, not a question. "I won't tell you." "Yes, you will." replied the red-headed boy. My Master would kill me if i did, though. Not a good sight for young, immature children. "We're not children!" said the youngest one. Thats the one you were talking to earlier, i thought. Any help? i tried...

"Batman, I got your call."

"Nightfury, B08," announced the automated computer as the three of us transported back to the Cave, our hearts racing.
Batman was standing in front of the large computer screen, frowning at the news report Summer Gleeson was giving. I didn't have to listen to it to remember what happened.
Batman looked at me, clearly troubled. "Did you see where the blast came from before the explosion?"
I shook my head. "We were after these robbers when it happened. Nobody was in the alley when it occurred."
Again, he looked at the screen. Police cruisers and fire trucks were surrounding the hole, which looked...

Robin pointed to a small clearing.

We got there and found the team hiding in a forest.
“Why are you g-” I was cut off by Robin slapping his hand over my mouth.
“Shhhh!” he whispered. I pulled his hand off.
“Why are you guys hiding?” I whispered
“You know how you found another magical epicenter here? Well, we found her alright. And she is p*ssed” Robin pointed to a small clearing. In the clearing a four year old girl was throwing a tantrum. When ever she said something or stomped, a large wave of magic would spread from her body.
“You guys are hiding from a little girl?” I mused
“It’s not funny. She took out...

I let go of the dolphin and used a small propulsion spell to keep pace with Kalder. We peeked out behind some coral. A lady with long purple hair and a black dress was standing there working a spell. But that’s not what surprised me. What surprised me is that she was with a gorilla.
“Grod. This is not good” Kalder muttered. Grod turned and I pulled Kalder behind the coral.
“Tala. She’s worse” I said.
“Who’s Tala?” Kalder whispered
“She was an apprentice to Felix Faust before he died. Again. She’s extremely skilled, but compared to Faust, she’s an amateur. She’s known...

"And hopefully, his reign of terror will finally end."

"Just yesterday, two scientists were arrested and charged with kidnapping and attempted murder," said Summer Gleeson, the morning newscaster. "Their trial is expected to be in three weeks."
"But on a lighter note," she said brightly, "Nora Fries, the famed wife of the supervillain, Mr. Freeze, is on the race to recovery with the help of two superheroes, Robin and Nightfury. Mr. Freeze has agreed to go to jail and wait for conviction until his wife is cured, where he'll be set free and hopefully, his reign of terror will finally end."
I shut off the television with the remote and rested my head...

"We never have time to talk privately."

I clutched the steering wheel tightly, maneuvering the bioship carefully without hurting its passengers.
Behind me, Robin was changing into his diving suit. It took every inch of my mere human strength to not look back at him while he was changing.
"This is nice," he said finally, sitting in the seat beside me. "We never have time to talk privately."
I smiled as I gave the wheel to him and changed into my diving suit. "Batman's really killing me with the work hours he's giving; could you persuade him to give us a day off?"
He looked at me as if that task was impossible. "You're talking about...

I stepped back, confused and red-faced. The guy who had kissed me was tall with pale blonde hair and eyes the color of butter. His skin was the color of milk chocolate and his black eel tattoos spiraling down his arms looked extremely painful. His face was red to as the other people looked at him in shock. One with red hair pulled him away from the group. He said something, then the pale hair one looked away and murmured something in reply. I tried to speak, but my voice evaded me. I just wish they could here in my mind. I felt my ear and found a weird device in it. I pulled it out and realized...

I walked to my room and sighed. I would leave to the dojo now. It was about time I made my leave. I packed my small back pack consisting of my extra clothes, weapons and bathing suit. I slipped it on my back and walked out. I saw Batman typing something in on the holo-screen.
“Batman, I am leaving for a while. I must return to my dojo to teach the next generation of students. I will be back when I can. If you ever need help, feel free to call me” I said. I whistled and Tiny and Killer came running. I bent down and scratched under Tiny’s chin.
“Time to go home guys” I smiled. I slipped...

The team was behind me.I looked at her I was horrified she promised she would get out of there and come out alive.
"Dove!!"M`gann screched
"Woah!dude is she dead."Wally added kneeling next to me.
Yeah but it seems so unrealistic like its not happening.
We took her to Mt.Justice where we waited.

“Who are you?” I demanded, lifting Kalder’s un-moving body in my arms.
“My name is Tula. I’m a friend of Kalder” she said. I grinded my teeth at the pressure of my broken arm.
“Do you need any help with him?” Tula asked as I carried him to the infirmary.
“My masters once told me to embrace pain, for it makes a stronger warrior” I said as I laid Kalder down on the bed. I clicked my comm. unit.
“Guys, get to the infirmary right now. It’s Kalder” I said quickly. A minute later, the team was standing with Kalder. I felt Wally’s hand rest on my shoulder. Even though he was...

“Where. Is. Sonar” I repeated. I brought the sai right under his chin.
“H-he’s working with Roulette in the back” the guy stammered
“If you’re lying or you warn them, I will be back. And I will not give you a chance to talk” I growled. We walked to a room. The door was closed. I opened it a miniscule crack and peeked through. A lady in a red dress with black hair was sitting with an ugly man with greasy looking black hair. They seemed to be discussing something.
“…brainwash them and make them fight each other to the death” the man suggested.
“True. But they might escape”...

Lily awoke the next morning from the most marvoulous dream about unicorns to the sweet smell of pancakes. Still in her pajamas, the young heronie walked out of her temporary room to the kitchen. M'gann was cooking the pancakes happily on the stove. Even though it was only 10am, the green-skinned girl was already cheerful.
"Syurp?" Megan offered.
"No thanks." She said taking her plate to the couch.
"No syrup? Your crazy." Wally said speeding in already in infactuated with pancakes.
Robin came in next. He grabbed a plate for M'gann and sat next to Lily who said nothing. He wanted to impress and...

“I’m not part of the team” Red Arrow backed up. I shrugged. They all entered the mini cage.
“Rules: No weapons, no powers. That’s all” I smirked. They all got in positions around me. I braced my self. One rushed me and I jumped over him, making him run right into the green archer. They all attacked me. One tried to kick me. I grabbed his leg and threw him against the cage. Another one punched at me, but I dodged his fist and let him punch his teammate. I used the weight of Super Boy to knock down the girls and Kid Flash. I flipped Robin over my head and added him to my pile of knock...
