Chapter One-
"So they 発言しました I have to go through some sort of mission to prove myself." ヒイラギ, ホリー said.
"Typical of the Justice League." Sam replied over the phone. ヒイラギ, ホリー heard something fizzing in the background.
"What are あなた doing?" she asked.
"Nothing, why do あなた ask?" Sam answered.
"Something is fizzing in the background."
"Soda."
"Uh-huh." ヒイラギ, ホリー 発言しました and rolled over on her back on her bed. "So what do あなた think the mission'll be?"
"Dunno." Sam said.
"God I hope I don't get booted off the Team."
"Don't worry about it. You'll do great. All they want is to make sure あなた can fight and aren't going to betray us." Sam said. "Which あなた won't."
ヒイラギ, ホリー didn't reply.
"Right?"
"I've thought about leaving." ヒイラギ, ホリー said. "Becoming a freelancer, going back to my old life."
"Don't tell them that." Sam said.
"I have a past with バットマン and-"
At that moment, Holly's communicator dinged. She looked at it. Someone was robbing a bank downtown.
"Did you-"
"I got it." Sam said. "Suiting up."
Sam hung up and ran out of the cafe he had been sitting at. He tapped a button on his belt.
Clothes in his closet slid aside and a door opened up revealing his costume as he drove at 上, ページのトップへ speed to get home.
ヒイラギ, ホリー slid on her costume and buckled up her utility belt.
;::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::;
Courage ran up to the bank as Revenge swung down.
"Let's get this over with." he said.
The two charged into the bank. The robbers were caught off guard and easily taken out.
"I can't believe I gave up my チョコレート milkshake for this." Revenge said. "Sarah-"
Before the Black Hero could reach the Duo's electronic assistant, the doors and safety walls shut.
"Just great," Revenge said, switching to infrared.
"Sam, あなた there?" Sarah's voice echoed out of the comm device.
"I'm here." Revenge replied. "And what did I tell あなた about-"
"Okay, okay." Sarah said. "I'm hacking NYPD Systems."
Revenge waited a moment. ヒイラギ, ホリー fished out her infrared sunglasses and put them on.
Sarah let out a low whistle. "You ticked someone off." Sarah said. "Officer Thomas issued a warrant for your arrest."
"Ah," Revenge said, bending down and inspecting the lock on a door. "That would be because I caught him beating up some punk. I stopped him and left a note for the Chief."
"Well, あなた and Courage had better get out, the cops have a battering ram ready." Sarah said.
Sam set something on the door. It blinked a few times before the door swung open. Revenge and Courage walked out into the alleyway. Revenge pulled his mask off and sat against the wall. Courage followed suit.
"You two okay?" Sarah asked after a moment.
"Fine," Courage replied into her earring.
Sam slipped his mask back on. "I want a word with the Chief."
;::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::;
Chief Draxx looked up from the paperwork on his 机, デスク as the two ヒーローズ walked in.
"What can I do for あなた two today?" he asked.
"You can explain why a squad of police are trying to arrest me." Revenge said, leaning フォワード, 前進, 楽しみにして on the Chief's desk.
"What?" Draxx asked.
Revenge rolled his eyes underneath his mask. "We stopped a bank robbery and some of your officers, lead によって Officer Thomas are out to arrest me."
"You? Not あなた and your gir-"
A sharp look from Revenge cut him off.
Courage touched her utility ベルト and flipped a comm unit out. Revenge nodded to her and she walked out.
"What happened to the old one?" Draxx asked as soon as Courage was gone.
Revenge sighed and eased himself into a chair. "She left and I went solo, remember?"
"She ever coming back?" Draxx asked.
"What's it matter to you?" Revenge asked.
"Just curious." Draxx said, hiding behind a stack of paperwork.
"So what are あなた going to do about this warrant for my arrest?" Revenge asked.
Draxx typed on his computer, then turned to Revenge. "No warrant. Haul in Thomas and we'll have him thrown in jail for---something."
"Thanks, Chief." Revenge said, walking out.
;::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::;
ヒイラギ, ホリー was reclining in a chair when Revenge walked in. The door shut behind him and he walked over to the computer, typing something in. He finished after a few 分 and took his mask off. He lay down on the couch, totally exhausted.
"I never knew facing down a squad of cops and one big fat one was so hard." Sam said.
"I'm assuming あなた threw Thomas in jail for---something?"
"Yeah," Sam said.
"Artemis called, 発言しました something about a big New Year's Party at the Cave." ヒイラギ, ホリー said.
"I'm not-"
"-going." ヒイラギ, ホリー said. "I figured. I told her we weren't coming."
"We?" Sam asked, raising an eyebrow.
"We." ヒイラギ, ホリー replied, sitting on the ソファー, ソファ and laying her head on Sam's shoulder. "Besides, あなた are taking me to the ball drop, right?"
"You know the conditions. No leisure until all criminals are in jail." Sarah 発言しました from the doorway. ヒイラギ, ホリー sat up straight at the hispanic's arrival.
"Don't bother." Sarah said, walking past the two. "I knew あなた were together before あなた did."
"That obvious?" ヒイラギ, ホリー asked.
"She's good." Sam replied, trying to come up with an excuse.
"Yeah, it was." Sarah said.
Sarah was about fifteen with a fit figure and silky black hair that fell halfway between her shoulder and elbow. She was wearing a tank 上, ページのトップへ and a pair of black jeans. The logo on her シャツ 発言しました 'Don't mess with the girl'.
Sarah sat down at the computer when a holo screen popped up.
"Damn, I keep forgetting あなた installed those." Sarah said, clutching her chest from the startle she had gotten at the loud alert noise.
"Hide." Revenge said, slipping his mask on and standing up.
Batman's face appeared on the screen. "Courage, it is time." he said.
"I'm on my way." ヒイラギ, ホリー said. The transmission blinked off.
Sarah emerged from the shadows. "Why do I have to hide?" she asked.
"Batman-nor the Team nor the League-can know あなた are here または we'll get in a lot of trouble." Sam said.
Sarah groaned before walking into the elevator to head to the computer lab.
ヒイラギ, ホリー picked up her mask. "We still haven't had our first date." she said, poking Revenge in the chest with the leather.
"I know, and I'm sorry-"
"Cut it." ヒイラギ, ホリー said. "Once I get back from this mission, you're taking me to a movie."
She could feel Revenge's grin under his mask. "Of course." he said.
ヒイラギ, ホリー grinned and walked toward the garage. She climbed on her green motorbike and sped off.
"So they 発言しました I have to go through some sort of mission to prove myself." ヒイラギ, ホリー said.
"Typical of the Justice League." Sam replied over the phone. ヒイラギ, ホリー heard something fizzing in the background.

Now in the Charlie Brown spirit, Robin sat at the ピアノ and started playing a couple notes.
"Do あなた know any Charlie Brown songs?" Megan asked as Artemis sat beside Robin.
"Yeah, three, only one has lyrics though." Robin replied, turning the notes into a song.
"Christmas time is here, Happiness and cheer, Fun for all that children call, Their お気に入り time of the year" The teen added lyrics.
"Snowflakes in the air, Carols everywhere, Olden times and ancient rhymes, Of 愛 and dreams to share." Artemis continued.
"Sleigh bells in the air, Beauty everywhere, Yuletide によって the fireside, And joyful memories there." Megan added sweetly.
"Christmas time is here, We'll be drawing near, Oh, that we could always see, Such spirit through the year, Oh, that we could always see, Such spirit through the year..." The three finished laughing. Wally walked in.
"You guys are good singers." He smirked.
"SHUT UP!"
