Chapter 3-


"Stay wet, minnows!" Lagoon Boy कहा before following the Dark Knight into the zeta-tubes.

The four girls looked at each other before departing for their individual rooms.

होल्ली, होली walked in and locked her door. It wasn't that she didn't trust anyone on the Team, it was that she felt insecure leaving her private area, the only place she could be herself, available to anyone.

She knew बैटमैन came in here, and she resented him for it, but she could do nothing about it. Red Revenge seemed to not trust her, but left her to herself.

होल्ली, होली pulled out a suitcase, knowing the others would fuss at her if she took too long to pack.

होल्ली, होली decided to pack scarce. She knew Nightwing and Captain Adams would have stealth gear and tech she would need to take along. Stuff that would probably take up a lot of room.

Plus, होल्ली, होली had the sneaking feeling that she wouldn't be wearing jeans and tank-tops much.

द्वारा the time she finished packing, someone was knocking on her door. She opened it to see Red Revenge standing there.

"I suppose I have to let आप in?" she asked.

"Not necessarily." Revenge replied.

होल्ली, होली sighed and moved aside, allowing the boy to enter her room. Revenge looked around at the clean, sharp room.

"Neat." he said.

"I try to keep it that way." होल्ली, होली said.

"What?" Revenge asked.

"My room."

"Your room या yourself?"

"Look, I don't need आप questioning my--"

"I'm not. I just want आप to promise to answer me one सवाल honestly." Revenge said.

होल्ली, होली raised an eyebrow before sighing and muttering "Fine."

"Why did आप suddenly शामिल होइए my side? Why did आप not escape from the safe-room? Why-"

"That's three." होल्ली, होली said, scowling.

"Alright, answer the first one then."

होल्ली, होली opened her mouth, but Revenge cut her off. "Honestly."

होल्ली, होली sighed. "When आप tricked me with that fake robot of Samuel Grant, testing to see if I would kill someone in cold blood, I stopped. I asked myself if I was a cold-blooded killer. If I really needed to work for the Shadows."

"And your answer?" Revenge asked.

"What do आप think?" होल्ली, होली replied.

They stood in silence for a while before Revenge spoke. "Brave."

होल्ली, होली was taken back.

"What?"

"I कहा that was brave." Revenge said. "You need a दिल of Courage to do something like that."

होल्ली, होली raised an eyebrow.

Revenge reached up and pulled off his mask.

"You!" होल्ली, होली exclaimed, stumbling back.

"Yep." Sam कहा with a smirk. "All along!"

होल्ली, होली just stared at him opened mouth for a मिनट before slapping him.

"He-" होल्ली, होली cut him off, pressing her lips to his. He returned the kiss. They stood there, lips locked until Captain Adam's voice came over the speakers. "Alpha & Beta Squad, रिपोर्ट to the briefing room immediately."

They softly broke apart and Revenge slipped his mask back on. "Let's go." he said. "Oh, and आप might want to grab your suitcase."

होल्ली, होली grinned and grabbed it, rolling it behind her.

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

"I had this in a file from before I was Captain Adams." he said. "It fits the mission perfectly. Megan, you'll be Natalie Hand, seventeen साल old from Scotland with red hair and brown eyes. You've got an attitude when आप get mad, but other than that, you're nice."

"Barbara." It was only after Adams कहा the name of the read-head that होल्ली, होली noticed Batgirl was missing her mask and cape. "I think आप suffice perfectly for the role of Sarah Match."

"Cassandra." Wondergirl flinched at her full name. होल्ली, होली noticed she was wearing a T-shirt and jeans. A strange new look on the blonde-headed amazon.* "You...be a little less enthusiastic."

Conner snorted in the background.

Cassie blushed and took the paper Adams gave her on her character.

Finally, the powerhouse reached Holly. "Holly. You'll receive a slight name change. Hannah Green is a tomboy. I think this fits you." होल्ली, होली nodded and took the paper.

"I'll leave आप with Nightwing to equip आप with gear." Captain Adams said.

Nightwing thanked the power-house and stepped in front of the four girls. Blue Beetle was in the back muttering to himself about army experiments.

"Okay: Since आप will be undercover in a possibly mind-controlled and hostile environment, you'll obviously get some stealth gear." Nightwing handed each of the four girls a book. "Double tap the spine and it shoots up to three rounds of a toxic dart that can knock out a target."

After handing the girls a few और pieces of equipment, including explosive ear rings, smoke-bomb perfume, communication watches and earrings, and a dagger hidden in lipstick, Nightwing handed each of the girls the most important piece of gear.

"A utility बेल्ट filled with explosives, smoke bombs, toxic gas bombs. Anything आप would need to escape."

"Birdarangs?" Barbara asked.

Nightwing rubbed the back of his neck nervously. "Heh. I took some of the gear from my old Robin utility belt."

"No kidding."



*YES! I know Cass isn't an amazon! DONT HATE!!!!
