The girls entered Mt. Justice with a regretting atmosphere.
“Where's Becca?” Robin asked.
Willow burst into tears and Devin took the position of comforting while Erin stepped forward to explain.
“We don't know. We didn't start to worry till eight last night. She told us not to worry if she wasn't back by dinner. But the later it got, the more we started to worry. We searched all night but haven't been able to find her. We were hoping you could help.”
“Robin, can you track her ring like you did last time?” Devin requested.
“It wouldn't do any good,” he answered. “She gave it back...

Chapter Three-


“Revenge!” Courage yelled.

Huntress held the girl back from rushing into the building.

“Let me go!” Courage yelled.

“He’s fine!” Huntress said, standing up and brushing herself off.

Revenge walked out of the fire and Courage could tell he was extremely ticked off.

“That was $30,000 worth of computers.” he muttered. “$30,000.”

“What happened?” Huntress asked.

“Someone knew we were coming.” Revenge said, helping Courage up. “The bomb had a dagger painted on it.”

“So?” Huntress asked.

Courage rolled her eyes and pointed at Revenge’s chest. “Dagger,...

Revenge of the Soviets


Prologue-

When vines wrapped around Holly's legs in a parking lot, she knew it could only be one person.

"Poison Ivy." she said.

"Hey dear," the red-head said, stepping into the light as the vines slowly slithered up Holly's legs. "Long time no see."

"No wonder. I went to Arkham because of you." she hissed as the meta-human got closer.

"Did I ask to be rescued?" Ivy asked.

"Did I ask to be chosen?" Holly replied.

"No." Ivy replied sweetly, tracing Holly's chin with her finger.

By now the vines were around Holly's shoulders.

"I hear you aren't on the right side anymore?" Ivy asked....

At mount justice everyone sat in the cave on the furniture, as Meagan was in the kitchen baking cookies and Becca was pacing back and forth. " Becca i dont understand why your so scared Willow should be back any minute" Robin said watching his girlfriend pace in worry, " what if she doesnt come back we need to go out and find her something could have happened to her" Becca said with tears in her eyes. Wally sat there with his arms up behind his head and with his leg crossed over the other loosly, he looked as though he didnt have a care in the world if Willow came back or not, but inside Becca...

Finally after everything had setteled, well mostly everything, Wally and Willow had been acting strange ever since all of that, and there will still issues with the attackers and today was the wedding day. Willow still loved Wally more then anything in the world but she also loved her home... the one she oh so forgotten long ago when she sat a top the mount justice wondering... and now she knew..., Willow sat in her room and on the balcony in her beautiful silk white dress, it was long enough to blow in the wind, she looked down as tears began to form in her eyes as she wiped away her tears...

" Im sorry Willow but the wedding must continue or a war will begin..... your father would want you to do what is best for your life and Gregory's life" Annabeth ( Willows mother said) holding and rocking the baby so that he was sleeping, " but mother i have mated with another, and you and father told m-", " we told you whats allowed but they want your marraige to be final, we have tried other things by asking what they want and all they want is you.... im sorry", her mother gave the baby back to Wally, " so your just going to give me up to the enemy! i am your daughter for goodness sake and...

“I am Vixen, Ex-“
“Yeah, yeah, we know, you’re Vixen, ex-member of the League of Shadows since you blew up their HQ, she’s Eagle, ex-member of the League of Shadows since she helped Vixen escape and she’s Lioness, ex-member of the League of Shadows since she went against her master and helped Vixen escape with Eagle” the Wally rolled his eyes
“Was that really necessary?” I asked. I was starting to dislike this boy.
“Can we just get on with the questions?” he sighed. I rolled my eyes.
“We are from Manhattan, Maine and San Francisco. Some places we are known for visiting...

Becca walked to where Robin sat. She sat on her knees on the other side of the cage.
“Robin. I need to apologize. For all I've done. I lost sight of everything I loved. I allowed someone else to hold my emotions. I may never be good enough for you, but that doesn't mean you love me any less. And I know I love you with my whole being. I would rather fight against you than have to live without you. So please forgive me. And...never let me leave again.”
Becca looked up into the mask that hid Robin's eyes. Her own were filled with tears; some that she had been burying a long time. She swallowed,...

“Cassie, go watch our little prodigy.”
Wonder Girl stepped out of the shadows, head bowed.
“You want me to protect her, master?”
“No. She needs to be stopped.”
“And if they try to help?”
“Stop her. Ignore them. They are just pawns in this game.”
“Yes master.”

“I apologize.”
“For what Jade? You could not have forseen this would happen. Becca is a free spirit.”
“No. I need to apologize because I let my emotions, as well as Robin's, control me. Kaldur, that is a deadly choice I made. And I know Erin feels the same. But Becca...she is a lost lamb. She needs a guardian...

“What did you do with Becca?!” Robin shouted. “Who are you?!”
“Becca belongs to me, Robin. She use to, anyway. As for who I am, the name is Slade.”
“Batman's fought you.”
“Indeed. I was always so disappointed when you never showed with him.”
“Why?”
“You are quite the dedicated hero. It would have been fun to beat you again and again.”
“Slade,” Prendere said.
“Alright apprentice. I have broken him enough for one day.”
“You killed Becca?!”
“No. Who said anything about killing? We had a disagreement. I compromised and she became what you see before you now. Prendere...

Becca pulled against her chains. Her arms were tired but they couldn't move; they were chained above her head. She growled in frustration. Just because she was trapped didn't mean she had to be in favor of it. Every pull of resistance just put more pain on her. The metal bands were cutting her skin and causing her to bleed. The dank and moldy smell was causing her to become weak. Becca went limp for a minute, catching her breath. A smooth, deep voice spoke.
“Becca. Good to see you.”
Becca pulled against her restrains again, crying out when she felt the results.
“My dear, don't hurt yourself....

"Batman, is he gonna be okay?" I asked nervously.
Batman took a long look at Wally, who was writhing in fear at the cot I'd put him on. After a while, he said, "He's lucky. This sample of Scarecrow's serum doesn't spread through the body. He'll be in this state for a few hours."
Behind me, the door opened and closed. Artemis stood beside me, speechless.
Batman cleared his throat. "Meanwhile, I want you and Robin to go after Scarecrow and prevent him from producing more fear serums." Without another word, he glided out of the room.
Artemis gently placed her hand on Wally's forehead. "I wonder...

I strode into the museum, Eagle and Lioness beside me. I cracked my knuckles as we entered the Mineral exhibit.
“Simple grab-and-go girls. Pick want you want, leave what you don’t, and kill anyone who gets in your way” The Shadow’s had ordered. I found a dazzling necklace made purely from gold and rubies. I saw Eagle grab a large sky blue opal and Lioness pick a topaz that matched her mane like hair. We waltzed out. Suddenly, a red and yellow blur ran by. I looked at my hands and realized the necklace was gone. Lioness growled and slipped the topaz into her mouth, careful not to swallow...

With their letters now safely in the mail, the team ventured back out into the cold. Deciding to take a walk around, Conner was the first to pick up on the slightest ringing sound. Look in the direction of the sound, the clone could see a worker standing outside a store, ringing a bell.

"What is that?" Conner asked.

"People who ring bells and collect money for a certain charity." Robin replied, tossing a couple quarters into the charity basket.

Continuing their walk, the team stumbled upon more and more people ringing those silver bells. Everywhere they looked, the holidays were being paraded...

By the time the team reached the post office, a light snow began to fall.

"How pretty, they have nothing like this on Mars." Megan said breathlessly, snow glistening all around her.

"It's also cold, dang Suzy Snowflake." Artemis kicked the fluff aside.

"Suzy who?" Conner raised an eye brow.

"Snowflake, it's an old Christmas song, my mom used to sing a lot." Artemis mumbled.

"How does it go?" Kaldur asked.

"I don't know, 'here come Suzy Snowflake' or something like that, i can't remember." But the Archer was cut off by a certain speedster, who just had to start singing it.

"Here comes Suzy Snowflake,...

Wally snuggled Artemis as he lay beside her in bed, though Wally was asleep Artemis lay staring at her side at the wall. Whenever she closed her eyes she saw the white rabbit in her dreams, tell ing her something, something like needing to come back to wonderland, the sad part is she never will considering she is dead. Artemis started to sniffle a bit trying to hide back tears, she really did want to go back but whenever she tried she never did, Artemis let out a sigh finally she was never going to get any sleep at this rate if she kept thinking about it but she couldnt help it. " Artemis......

It began to rain as Artemis and Wally entered the Mountain from the Zeta tubes in the Alley way. Recognized Kidflash B 03, recognized Artemis B O7, the machine voice said as the two entered. " So you never told me what you saw in the park? what was it?" Wally asked as they walked to the living room/kitchen area. " I-it was nothing Wally.." Artemis said as she turned away from him, " Well if it scared you so much id like to know cause you know Im your boyfriend.. and honestly i wouldnt want anything scaring you" Wally said as he faced her leaning in to kiss her, until Artemis's hand pushed him...

Now that the stockings were hung and the menorah in the window, Wally stepped back with a smile on his face. It only lasted five seconds when Conner walked up behind him.

"You didn't get a tree, you know that, right?" The clone asked, Wally jumped.

"Duh, I know that."

"No you don't."

"SHUT UP!"

"Hey guys, gonna go chop down a Christmas tree yet." Robin asked.

"Yes, exactly what us three were gonna do." Wally mumbled, going to get his coat.

20 minutes later:

So that's how Wally, Conner, and Robin wound up in a Christmas tree lot, bundled up in heavy jackets.

"It's so freakin' cold!" Wally exclaimed browsing...

Wally ran around Mt. Justice, lights, a Christmas tree,Menorah,Kwanzaa stuff, basically everything used to celebrate different holidays decorated the base.

"Wally, what are you doing?" Artemis finally asked. The speedster stopped.

"It's the holiday season, silly." Wally bopped her nose.

"AND, what are you doing?" The archer asked, picking up a chain of lights Wally had dropped.

"He's decorating for the holidays," Robin said entering the room,"He has been since three this morning."

"Is he drunk or something?"

"Nope, just had a lot of egg nog." The bird admitted.

"I didn't know what holiday everyone...

Chapter Fourteen-

Mount Justice
15:23 EDT December 23,

Wally was the last person Artemis expected to see sitting by her bedside next to the Boy Wonder with a worried look on his face.

She groaned and turned over, startling Wally and Robin.

"You're okay!" Wally exclaimed.

Artemis sat up in the bed. "What happened?" she asked groggily, then started panicking. "Where's mom? Is she okay? What-"

Robin held up a hand. "Your mom is okay. Batman took her home and made sure she was safe."

Artemis relaxed in the bed. 

"Robin, report to the Batcave." A computerized voice said over the loudspeakers. Robin left...
