Chapter One: The Doomed Mission

One day, the Team is tasked with tracking down the whereabouts of a former S.T.A.R. Labs scientist, Dr. Hank Williams. The file stated that he started working for a multibillionaire's private defense firm, before going missing a few weeks later, and that he specialized in matter and energy reduction. After a few hours of searching, Robin finds out that he was taken by the League of Shadows, and that they were holding him in a nearby warehouse in Happy Harbour. Deciding to show some initiative, the Team filed into the bioship, and they attempted to rescue the kidnapped scientist. It did not go well.

After arriving at the warehouse, the Team exits the bioship and splits up. Robin with Aqualad. Superboy and Miss Martian. And Kid Flash with Artemis.

Of course nothing goes as planned.

Turns out, the scientist finished his work, and was disposed of.

Sportsmaster and a Shadows contigent was there to meet them. Basically, it was a trap.

Some how Artemis got separated from the group during the fight, and was knocked unconscious. She woke up tied to a chair, staring down the barrel of a strange device. Sportsmaster approaches her.

"Hello, baby girl," he says tauntingly.

"HI, Dad," she spits. "What are you going to do to me this time?"

Sportsmaster chuckles.

"I ain't gonna do nothing," he tells her. "The good doctor's device will do all the work. It's based of something that Palmer guy designed. I don't know if it will work. But, I believe it will show just how insignificant you and your hero freinds really are."

With that being said, Sportsmaster presses a button and the machine activates. He exits the room, bidding his daughter farewell as she struggles to untie herself. The barrel starts to pulse energetically with yellow light.

Suddenly, Kid Flash enters the room. Before he can say a witty remark, he notices a beam forming inside the barrel.

With the limited time he has, he runs in front of Artemis and tries to sheild her as the beam discharges.

They get hit and black out.
