"Alpha Squad! Move!"
Nightwing leaped at the soldiers somehow dodging all of the lasers that came at him and hitting them. Blue Beetle leaped into the air and fired his plasma cannon, wide dispersal, and knocked almost all of the soldiers into bushes 또는 the upstairs window of a house.
Wondergirl was on the front lines along with Liam, Batgirl, and Nightwing. The four were taking out bad guys left and right. Cassie could see frustration growing on Vandall Savage's face as he watched his troopers get destroyed.
"Cassie!" Beetle yelled. Cassie turned around and put her wrists in a defensive position over her face. The dart fell to the ground and Deathstroke frowned, sliding his mask back down over his face.
"Batgirl! With me!" Nightwing yelled, charging at Vandall Savage, completely ignoring any troopers who didn't get in his way. Nightwing leaped at the large villain who merely swatted him aside. Batgirl managed to get some batarangs in at Savage, but she too was thrown to the side.
Wondergirl leaped into the air, blocking darts and daggers from Deathstroke. When the Team had been ambushed, she hadn't had time to pull her 스웨트 셔츠, 셔츠 off.
"Look out!" Liam yelled, leaping into the air to try and catch a dagger heading towards Cassie from the side. He under-calculated his jump and fell to the ground, not moving.
"LIAM!"

Cassie stayed behind in the grotto as the rest of the Team departed. Beetle and Robin gave her a sympathetic face, but she merely looked at the hologram of Liam before sighing.
Cassie jumped as a hand landed on her shoulder. She spun around to find Samuel Grant standing there.
"You." Cassie growled.
"Cassie, I'm—"
"Don't 당신 dare say you're sorry!" Cassie yelled. "You're the reason he's dead!"
Revenge stood there and took the brunt of Cassie's blow. He listened as Cassie continued to yell at him.
"You had the chance to stop Ravager! 당신 had the chance to stop his killer! Once and for all!"
"Heroes don't kill." Red Revenge said.
"But you're not a hero." Cassie said in a cold tone Revenge had never heard from the girl before. "You've said countless times you're a vigilante. Vigilantes. Kill. Bad. Guys."
"I have my reasons." Revenge said.
Cassie yelled and punched Revenge in the chest, knocking him back into the wall. Revenge grunted and stood up, clutching his ribs. "Cassie, I really am sorry—"
"LIAR!"
Revenge ducked as Cassie's fist carved a hole in the wall. She grabbed him 의해 the 칼라 and rammed him into the wall. She reached back to 펀치 him again and Revenge spoke up.
"Suit, Activate tazer charge."
Cassie yelled and flew off the Black Hero. Sam stood up wearily and undid his 재킷, 자 켓 revealing his chest plate. He slid his mask on his face and looked up at the staggering and smoking blonde.
"Bring it."
Cassie yelled and leaped at Revenge. Revenge dodged to the side of the flying teen and threw daggers at her. They exploded and Cassie yelled in pain. She growled and leaped at Revenge again, tackling him to the floor and sitting on his stomach, punching him again and again.
"I left my chicken whizzies. Bart will steal them again if I don't get—Que Pasa?! Chica! Get off!"
Beetle and Robin ran down, trying to separate Cassie and Sam. Revenge's chest plate was totally ruined, cracked, and his face was bleeding badly.
"What the heck happened?" Robin demanded, picking up Cassie.
"I tried to apologize and she assaulted me!"
"Your apology is worth nothing!" Cassie growled, almost animal-like. Beetle stepped back in fear. "You're the reason he's dead!"
"Cassie, that's a very serious accusation. Come on, lets go."
"Cassie—"
"Sam, leave. Now." Revenge could see Robin's eyes glaring and narrowing behind his glasses.
"Right. Leaving."
"Wait!" Beetle yelled. "I need to—"
Revenge was gone.
"—talk."

The phone rang. Sam sighed and put down the paperwork he was looking at. He had no clue that running the company would be so tedious. He picked up the phone and answered it. "Samuel Grant."
"Sam, it's Bruce."
Sam pressed a button and the line was secured.
"The line's secured. What do 당신 want?"
"Ravager, Deathstroke, and Vandal Savage ambushed the Team three days ago. That's when Liam died. Ravager killed him."
"I looked at the footage, the assassin didn't meant to kill him. The dagger would've passed right 의해 Wondergirl. The boy overestimated and—" Revenge was cut off.
"That's not why I called you. Cassie said 당신 were responsible for the ambush."
"She's pissed because I didn't kill Ravager." Sam said, almost calling the girl Rose. "She's emotionally distraught. I don't think 당신 should be listening to her."
"Think of it as a loose end I'm trying to tie up." Bruce said.
Revenge sighed. "If 당신 must know, it was my fault."
Silence. Slowly Bruce spoke. "Explain."
Sam sighed and looked at his 책상, 데스크 and the paperwork scattered on it.
"The Team is rusty. Nothing happens. It's too quiet. I thought I could test them. I didn't think the trap was too well planned. I didn't think anyone would die."
Bruce was silent. Slowly he spoke. "Don't come near the Cave again. I'll make sure Batgirl sends 당신 your stuff."
"Understood."
The line went dead. "Joy." Sam muttered.

"Sorry I'm late!" Flash said, speeding into the room and sitting down at the table.
"As long as you're here." 배트맨 said. Everyone in the room was totally surprised.
"Well, we're all here. What is it?" 슈퍼맨 asked.
"We're not all here." 배트맨 said. "Not yet."
The zeta tubes buzzed to life. "Recognized: Nightwing, B-01."
Nightwing waked into the room and nodded at the Justice League members seriously.
"Grow up not like Bruce." Wonder Woman muttered.
Nightwing took one of the empty seats at the table. 배트맨 spoke up.
"There's a 몰, 두더지 on the Team."
"Again?!" Nightwing exclaimed.
"But this time, I'm confident who it is."
The Justice League was startled. "Who?"
"Red Revenge." 배트맨 said, pulling up a holo-computer of the Black Hero.

June 4, 18:06 EST
"Robin to Batcave."
"Master Timothy. What has Bruce sent 당신 to do now?"
"Believe it 또는 not, spy on a fellow hero." Robin said, looking through the binoculars at Samuel Grant as he sat alone at a coffee table.
"Ah, is this a new hero who's identity we don't know?" Alfred asked.
"No, he's been around for ten years. 배트맨 won't tell me what's going on. He just—whoah."
"What is it, Master Timothy?"
"Rose Wilson just sat down at the 표, 테이블 with him."
"The assassin?"
"The one and only."
"What could Master Grant possibly have to do with the assassin?"
"Good question." Robin replied. "Where's Bruce?"
"He's on the 망대, 망루 debriefing the Justice League."
"On what?"
"That he refused to say."
"Typical." Robin said, magnifying the zoom on the binoculars. "They're talking, but I can't make out what they're—damn!"
Rose had looked straight at him and winked. Robin rounded on Grant's chair, but he was gone. Robin felt someone tap his shoulder. He turned around to see Red Revenge standing there with his hand out. Robin sighed and handed him the binoculars and his ear-piece. Revenge crushed the ear-piece and held out his hand again.
"What?"
"There's no memory card in the binoculars."
"Maybe I didn't put one in."
"Please."
Robin grinned and stood up. "Come and—unh!"
Ravager grabbed his arm and pinned it behind him. "Come on Boy Wonder, give him the card before I have to hurt 당신 more."
Robin sighed and released his fist, smoke bombs falling onto the roof.
Revenge made a mad leap at Robin and tackled him, wrestling with the sixteen 년 old, trying to pin him to the ground. He managed to hold Robin down while Ravager removed his utility belt, and the data card from his hand.
"Bye Bye Bird Brain." Ravager said with a smile and leaped backwards over the banister.
The Watchtower
June 4, 18:07 EST
"Red Revenge?!" Wonder Woman exclaimed.
"I know he's rough, Bruce." 슈퍼맨 said. "But he's no traitor."
"He personally admitted to betraying the location of the Team when they were ambushed three days ago! The 일 Liam was killed!" 배트맨 yelled.
Nightwing's eyes widened.
"Well what do 당신 propose we do?" 슈퍼맨 asked.
"I'm having Robin follow him." 배트맨 said. "If he—"
"Recognized: Robin. B-20."
The Justice League looked over as Robin ran, stumbled, then fell into the Watchtower.
"Robin?" 배트맨 asked. The Boy Wonder stood up and Batman's eyes narrowed. "Where's your utility belt?"
"Ravager took it. With her partner Revenge."
Batman's eyes widened beneath his 고깔 달린 겉옷, 물통 for just a moment before turning to the rest of the stunned Justice League. "Need anymore proof?"
"I say we double-check." Flash said. "I have a friend, a detective, who would be all too happy to help."
"Are 당신 flipping serious?!" Nightwing yelled, standing up and slamming his hands down on the table. "He got one, maybe more, teenagers killed!"
"I'm just saying we need to be thorough." Flash said.
"I agree with Nightwing." Robin said, walking over 다음 to the former Boy Wonder.
"As do I." Wonder Woman spoke up. 슈퍼맨 was hesitant.
"Clark?"
"I think we should all put this to a vote. All in favor of arresting Revenge for betraying the Justice League, raise your hand."
Nightwing, Wonder Woman, and several other members of the League raised their hands. Robin raised his but quickly brought it back down.
"All those in favor of going with what Flash said."
Most of the Justice League, including the two Green Lanterns, raised their hands.
"Very well." 배트맨 said. "Flash, bring in your detective. No word of this leaves the Watchtower."

Scene 2:
"You are a good man." Barbara said once more, firmly.
"Thanks, Babs." Sam said softly, looking into the red-head's blue eyes. Barbara returned the gaze. Sam leaned 앞으로 and brushed a strand of hair put of her face. "You are one of the best people I have eve met in my life." Sam said softly. "I'm glad we're 프렌즈 Barbara."
The red-haired girl smiled and leaned forward, pressing her lips slightly to Sam's. Sam reached one hand into her fiery hair and pulled her closer, deepening the 키스 before breaking off and standing up. "We tried this before. It didn't work out."
"Yeah..." Barbara said, looking to the side. "Sorry."
"Me too." Sam said, slipping on his mask and jumping from the window.
Barbara took a deep breath and about a full sixty 초 before returning to her computer.

Revenge started towards the Bat-Wing, but 배트맨 turned and held up a hand.
"Clark, go. I'll be there in a minute." the Dark Knight said. 슈퍼맨 nodded and walked aboard' one hand on Kara's shoulder.
"You can't come." 배트맨 stated plainly.
"Why not?!" Revenge demanded.
"Because you're pushing Clark's temper and Wonder Woman forbade 당신 from ever visiting Themyscira after leading Wondergirl into a trap."
"Clark's temper?" Revenge asked incredulously.
"The girl likes 당신 too much."
"Of course she likes me." Revenge smirked.
"Exactly, and you're having a bad influence on her. Clark wants 당신 to stay here. I personally think she needs someone like 당신 right now, but Clark says no and he is her cousin."
"Alright, I'll stay here with Alfred."
"Don't ask for too many sweets." 배트맨 warned.
"Why would I ever do such a thing?" Revenge asked, mocking shock.
배트맨 smirked and boarded the Batwing.
"Yo Alfred!" Revenge called. "Cookies!"
