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 pasulong 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 sa pamamagitan ng dinner. But the later it got, the madami 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 to me yesterday.”
“This is all your fault!” Willow snapped. “If you hadn't broken her, Becca would still be here!”
“Willow!” Wally exclaimed.
“It's okay, Wally. Willow's right. It's my fault. I should have held onto her instead of letting go.”
“Well, the rest of you played a huge part too,” Erin said, gesturing to Young Justice.
“How did we make Becca leave?” Artemis asked.
“You gave her the wrong directions. All those mistakes Becca made were your fault. She just got dragged into it and thought it was her fault. It broke her. Slowly.”
The mountain was silent. They could see Erin's point and, if they admitted it to themselves, they would have agreed with everything she had said. It was, in a way, their fault.
“I got something!” Talia exclaimed.
“What is it?”
“Sam. Becca was recently in Sam's room with Sam.”
“But Becca hates her with a passion!”
“Yes Erin. That's why it's odd. And Sam isn't here.”
The teams froze, looking at one another.
“Where did she go, Talia?” Willow asked.
“Base 45, Willow. But that place has been abandoned for decades. Unless Becca is there, Sam has no reason for going there. Hold on! I sense dark magic on the base. If she is there, that would be the perfect place to hold Becca in.”
“We have to get there right now!”
“Willow wait! I sense something else inside that base. It's...Willow!”
“What is it Talia?”
“Base 45. It's a secret Cadmus base. Thousands of clones. A million dead. Willow...!”
“Talia! Loose the link!”
Talia opened her eyes, the color coming back into her face. She started to fall pasulong but Kitty caught her.
“Easy, Martian. We're going to need you.”
“Talia's a Martian?” Artemis asked.
“Yeah. We'll explain later. Right now, we need to save Becca!”
“My bio-ship,” Talia said. “I can get us there. At least Becca's team. Megan, you got the others, right?”
“Yes. What color is your bio-ship?”
“Purple.”
“Later!” Erin exclaimed before running out the door.
“Where's Becca?” Robin asked.

Epilogue-
2 weeks later...
Artemis landed on the rooftop, bow drawn.
"Relax, it's me." Revenge said, emerging from the shadows.
Artemis cocked her head, but didn't let go of her bow OR arrow. "What do you want Revenge?"
"I've changed my mind." Revenge said. "I'll sumali the Team on one condition."
"What condition?" Artemis asked.
"You listen to what I have to say."
------------------------------------------------------
"Assassin."
"Master."
Cheshire bowed before Ra's Al Ghul.
"Your mission was a success?"
"Yes master." Cheshire handed her leader a disc which he inserted into a computer. "Holly's true loyalties were proven."
The screen behind Ra's Al Ghul lit up revealing a familiar face.
"And another of the "heroe's" identities belongs to...the Light."

Revenge stumbled away. The woman looked at the needle in her hand. The blood within was mixed with a strange brown mixture. Revenge gripped his arm and glared at the woman.
"A simple test will tell me who is beneath the mask, Red Revenge. And your secret will belong to me."
"Not likely." Revenge growled.
"Oh, but that's not all it does." she continued. "It poisons the blood stream. Corrupts the DNA within cells and eventually kills them."
"Nerve gas."
"In a liquid form, yes Red Revenge."
