Chapter One-

Aqualad thought it would be better if the Team split in half for the flight over. So Holly, Revenge, Artemis and Wally were on one plane while Robin, Megan, Connor, and Kaldur were on the other.

holly had listened to every song on her iPod and watched every video she had downloaded. She was bored and there was three hours left in the flight. 

Artemis was asleep and Wally was drawing a moustache on her face. holly couldn't wait until Artemis woke up.

holly glanced over at Sam, which she had recently discovered was Red Revenge's secret ID. He had his sunglasses on and his hat low on his head. holly couldn't tell if he was asleep or not.

She spotted his iPad. She glanced at him one madami time and slowly snuck her hand toward it.

Six inches from the device, Sam's hand grabbed hers sa pamamagitan ng the wrist.

"Don't." he said.

holly sighed and looked out the window. Clouds and a twenty thousand foot drop before she hit the cold, icy ocean. Life didn't get much worse than this.

holly pulled out her iPod and saw she had a notification in one of her games. She opened it. All of the sudden, Robin's face appeared on the screen.

"Yes!" he screamed into her earbuds. "20,000 feet and still hacking!"

"Shut up kid!" some guy in front of him said.

"Definitely not feeling the aster." Robin muttered, then turned back to Holly. "What's going on over there?"

"Nothing much," holly whispered. "Wally's drawing a moustache on Artemis, not sure what S- Revenge is doing. I'm bored beyond tears." 

"Ouch," Robin said. "Your flight isn't near as eventful as ours. Megan almost gave up her secret ID when-"

"Are you sure talking about that on a plane is wise?" holly interrupted.

"Good point." Robin said. "So nothing's going on over there?"

"That's an understatement. The place is madami like a morgue."

"Well prepare to feel the aster!" Robin said. He punched a few buttons and suddenly Holly's iPod went crazy. She checked her playlist. She couldn't even count the number of songs on there. She had enough pelikula to last her a month.

"Where in the heck-?"

"Expert hacker." Robin replied.

holly looked at him.

"Joking!" Robin said. "I bought them."

"What are you? The son of Steve Jobs?"

"Holly, you know I can't tell you that." Robin said.

"Right, sorry." holly said. "Thanks though!"

"No prob! Hey, tell Artemis to wait and kill Wally at the hotel."

"Sure..." 

Robin's face blinked off. holly turned around and tossed a piece of paper at Artemis. She groaned and opened her eyes.

"Hey Artemis, I think you got something right here." holly said, gesturing above her lip. Artemis pulled out her mirror and her expression went from sleepiness to rage in a second.

"Wally!" she exclaimed.

holly turned around grinning.

"Did you have to do that?" Revenge asked.

"The place is dead." holly replied, turning on Harry Potter as the two teens fought it out. 

******************************************************

The rest of theTeam met them outside the airport waiting on a taxi. Robin walked over to Holly.

 "I thought I asked you to tell Artemis NOT to beat Wally to death." the boy wonder said, gesturing at a bruised Wally.

"Couldn't help myself." holly replied.

Robin looked at her for a moment, then grinned. "Yeah, I probably would've done the same."

Aqualad turned to the Team. "Batman sinabi to split into groups of two so it goes as follows: "Megan, Connor. Artemis, Wally. Revenge, Holly. And Robin and me." Aqualad pulled some cash out of his wallet and handed it out to everyone. "One of you is in charge of the food, the other of hotel. We will survey the area we are supposed to watch, then meet at a location I will send to all of you. Remain as conspicuous as possible."

The Team nodded and split up. They each grabbed a taxi and headed in their separate directions.

"You gonna take that off?" holly asked, gesturing to Revenge's hat and glasses once they were in the taxi. "The rest of the Team won't see you."

Revenge hesitantly removed the hat and glasses. He glanced at Holly. "Why is it so important for me to remove my glasses and hat?" he asked.

"Conspicuous." holly said. "And you need to act like you do at school. Sam Grant acts one way, Red Revenge another."

holly couldn't tell, but she thought she detected a faint smile on Sam's face.

******************************************************

"Revenge reporting in, they're bringing in some madami decorations over here. What about on your side Aqualad?" Revenge said, squatting on the tuktok of a roof in the cold, drizzling rain.

"All clear over here." Aqualad reported in. "What about the rest of you?"

"Fine," holly checked in. The rest of the Team checked in their statuses. No one had tried anything yet.

Yet was the key word.

"The opening ceremony starts in half an hour, let's take a break." Aqualad said. "Dry off, get warm, and get back out here in fifteen minutes, that's when the leaders of the countries will start to arrive." Aqualad said. Revenge was about to interject, but bit his tongue.



After about five minutes, holly walked over in a rain amerikana and looked at him. "Too tough for the rain, huh?"

Revenge looked at her. "Something like that, yeah."

holly sat down on the edge of the roof. "What's your story?" she asked after a moment.

"What?" Revenge asked.

"I mean, why did you become a hero in the first place?"

Revenge turned back to the setting below. "I thought I could do some good in the world. I started out as just a neighborhood protector. I slowly took on madami and madami until I was finally taken in sa pamamagitan ng the Justice League. I worked for them for a while, joined the Team not long before you did."

holly looked at him. "I believe everything you sinabi except for your reasoning. There's always a motive."

She could tell Revenge's expression hardened.

They sat in silence for a while, watching the people ilipat in supplies.

"I forgot my dyaket at home." holly said, attempting to change the subject.

"You found one." Revenge pointed out.

"Yeah, but the one I had was black and matched my suit." holly said.

"We'll get you another one tomorrow." Revenge said.

"I'm broke, besides the money Kaldur gave us." holly said.

"I'm not." Revenge said.

"Watch it," holly said, elbowing him playfully. "I think a little too much of Sam is getting into Revenge's character."

"Revenge is courteous." Revenge said. "Sam's nicer about it. That's the difference."

holly grinned.



"Hey, are guests supposed to arrive this early?" holly asked.

"Five minutos before they're supposed to." Revenge said. "Team-ahh!" a high pitched sound rang through his earpiece.

"What?" holly said. 

"Communications are scrambled. Something's going to happen. Get the Team, hurry!" Revenge said.

"But I'm on the tuktok of a building!" holly protested.

"Here. Go!" Revenge handed her his grappling gun. She nodded and ran off. Revenge stood up, his cape flapping in the wind. He pulled out a pair of electro-binoculars and surveyed the area. Nothing. This was too wrong to be right.
