I must now cry :'O

Why must I cry? Because I fear that this story will soon be coming to an end. No joke, I only have about five chapters left and them... the end.

It's just so sad to see one of my more successful stories go.

CometCaster and GalaxyGirl- No the name won't be permanent... yeah so much unlucky-ness...

iSniffMarkers- Pushy!

puzzleshippinglove- :D

speedylove- Aww, thank you!

I don't own YJ or I Just Wanna Run by Downtown Fiction (awesome song btw)


I just wanna run, hide it away,

Run because they're chasing me down,

I just wanna run, throw it away,

Run before they're finding me out,

I just wanna run!

The young boy sprinted overhead as he felt them approaching, he couldn't face them.

He heard them as they almost caught up to him but he wasn't going to let it happen so easily. He pushed himself to go faster, willing himself to stay focused on the task at hand.

How had they found him so easily? Were they already watching them from the beginning?

No, someone would have notice eventually… right?

He pushed the thoughts away, it wasn't good to lose focus when being chased over high buildings. He didn't have enough self-control to stop himself from turning to look back… but no one was there.

His eyes widened in realization, this was all planned out perfectly. An ambush.

He felt mixed emotions because of this, honored because they'd actually go through great lengths to catch him. And stupid because he hadn't thought of it before now!

And even more stupid because he'd just stood there for a couple of seconds, giving them a chance to surround him.

But they didn't attack, they all looked slightly hesitant.

Their faces all brought a stab of guilt through his heart. He'd betrayed his family, and made them have to chase him down like any other criminal.

It was his fault… but he wasn't going to let them know this, he'd learned a lot in this little time and most of it was that emotions are weakness.

So he kept his expression serious and determined as they all watched him closely.

I just wanna run,

I'm out here all alone,

I try to call your house,

Can't reach you on the phone,

I'll gather up the nerve,

I'm packing up my bag,

It's more than you deserve,

Don't treat me like a drag,

As soon as the league members had him surrounded the team decided it was time to step in, they'd show them that Dick wasn't bad.

Imagine the league's surprised faces when they realized their sidekicks were going against them.

The first to react was Batman, glaring at all of the members. "Stand down, this isn't your battle."

"There is no battle." Roy growled. "You're not taking him anywhere."

"For once, I agree with him." Artemis spoke. "He's staying with us, here."

"You don't call the shots here, we do." Flash told them. "Stand down."

"Or what? Are you going to take us in like criminals too?" KF asked, glaring at his mentor.

"We still stand with him." Babs responded, not taking her eyes off Batman.

"You kids are in enough trouble as it is, we need you to listen to us." Wonder Woman told them.

Dick just looked at them all, feeling annoyed by it all. That was exactly why he didn't see them until the gun was pointed at his head.

I'm feelin' like I keep on talking,

I'm repeating,

Myself, my words, lost all meaning,

I keep talking,

I repeat myself...

He froze, this wasn't part of the plan.

No one else had noticed yet, they were too busy arguing with themselves to notice the assassins that had surrounded them.

He wished he could throw something at them, yell, do anything to make them notice. But with a gun to your head what can you do? Nothing, absolutely nothing.

Guess improvising is the next best thing. In less than a second he had twisted the gun away from his head and had the guy pinned down on the ground.

Finally, everyone turned to the noise and say him over the guy. "He's not alone."

He turned to look at Batgirl, she gave him a small smile before turning back to the League. "Don't try to stop us, we're not kids anymore. We can take care of ourselves."

"Highly doubtful." A voice behind them mocked, making them all turn. "Oh look, the whole party's here. This is going to be more fun than I thought."

Cheshire grinned behind her mask.

I just wanna run, hide it away,

Run because they're chasing me down,

I just wanna run, throw it away,

Run before they're finding me out,

I just wanna run (run, run, run)

I just wanna run (run, run, run)

Dick looked at the woman in anger, the bitch just wouldn't leave him alone!

Babs did the same, she had about half a mind to take the woman out right then and there. But she knew she didn't stand a chance against her.

Surprisingly it was Artemis who chose to attack first; she ran at her and delivered a kick to her stomach, catching the woman off guard.

By then more assassins had appeared and started to attack, no one bothering to stop Artemis from fighting her sister.

The first to be attacked was the Justice League, giving the team an advantage.

Everyone quickly spread, making sure to stay within reach of each-other.

Sadly no one noticed the problem until it was too late, by then the remaining assassins were gone… and so was she.

The first one to notice was Dick.

Like a game of chess,

I predict your move,

I think I know you better,

Better than you do,

I'm sick of feeling cheap,

Cheated and abused,

Sick of losing sleep,

Thinking about you,

He looked around everywhere, panic growing in him as he didn't find who he was looking for.

After everyone was done they turned to him, noticing his troubled look.

KF was the first to react, he sped over to his friend in confusion. "What's wrong?"

The boy turned to face him. "Are you serious? Can't you see what's wrong!"

Artemis turned to him, anger pulsing through her veins because of her sister's escape. "Besides the obvious of this crap going all wrong."

Kaldur put a hand on her shoulder to calm her. "What troubles you, Robin?"

He kept looking around. "It's Babs, she's not here."

Megan's eyes widened. "But she was just…"

"No she's not." Batman growled. "This was all a distraction."

"A distraction we fell for!" Roy exclaimed, turning to face the league. "Aren't you supposed to make sure everything goes right? You just let them kidnap one of our friends!"

"Aren't you supposed to be trained for this?" GA asked retaliated.

Artemis stepped next to Roy. "I guess we didn't have good teachers."

"Enough." Superman spoke. "We shouldn't be fighting like children."

"Because you obviously cares what happens to one of us." Superboy remarked, loud enough for everyone to hear.

"I do care." He responded.

"Sure doesn't look like it." Wally snapped.

I'm feelin' like I keep on talking,

I'm repeating,

Myself, my words, lost all meaning,

I keep talking,

I repeat myself...

"We just want what's best for you." Flash defended.

"What's best for us is for you to leave us alone, we can take care of this ourselves." Megan explained.

"M'gann, you are not prepared to do this on your own." Her uncle spoke up.

"You can't tell her what to do." Conner growled.

"Yes we can, we're in charge of you." Wonder Woman replied.

"Says who?" Artemis countered. "I don't even like half of you, especially you." She pointed to Superman.

He glared at her. "Noted."

"Stop arguing." Batman ordered. "We're going to get her back, and you kids go back home. Dick's coming with us."

"I'm sorry, Batman. But you cannot do that, we stand together." Kaldur spoke up for the first time.

I just wanna run, hide it away,

Run because they're chasing me down,

I just wanna run, throw it away,

Run before they're finding me out,

I just wanna run (run, run, run)

I just wanna run (run, run, run)

Throw it away!

"This is not up for debate." Black Canary replied.

"You have to go through us to take him." Roy pulled the boy behind him.

"Just shut up, all of you!" Dick yelled, stepping between everyone. "I'm getting Babs back, and if you try to stop us we're going to make you regret it." He growled to the league.

Flash crossed his arms. "You have no saying in any of this."

Dick gave him the worst glare imaginable. "I'm tired of all of you adults thinking you can run my life, if you want to take me to jail go right ahead. After I get her back."

Wally walked over to stand next to him. "I'm with you, dude."

Artemis took his other side. "Me too."

Kaldur nodded, putting a hand on his shoulder. "We do this, as a team."

Roy narrowed his eyes at the league. "We do this our way."

"You don't tell us what to do anymore." Conner growled, both he and Megan behind Dick.

Megan faced her uncle. "It's our turn to prove ourselves."

I just wanna run, hide it away,

Run because they're chasing me down,

I just wanna run, throw it away,

Run before they're finding me out (out)

The league stood with wide eyes as they watched the kids depart. "Aren't we going to do something?" Flash asked.

"What can we do?" Canary asked. "They're more determined than I've ever seen them."

"They'll get themselves killed." GA replied.

"That's not a comforting though." Flash growled.

"We're just going to watch." Batman replied after a while.

"What good will that do?" Superman asked.

Wonder Woman looked back at them. "I'm sure they'll go through with their promise to make us regret it."

"So we just stand here and watch them take on someone who even we have trouble with?" Flash demanded.

Batman turned to leave. "No, we make sure they don't lose."

I just wanna run, hide it away,

Run because they're chasing me down,

I just wanna run, throw it away,

Run before they're finding me out,

I just wanna run,

I just wanna run,

I just wanna run!
