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 forward 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 by dinner. But the later it got, the more 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 forward 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.

"For the last time, Erica, NO."

It was a black dress and high socks also balck with my hair tied back and a pink bow.
I transformed a Blonde blue eyed Human!
"You never want to do anything amigo!" Jaimie exclaimed. "Why did you even join the Team?"
"The purpose is gone now." Revenge said, turning away. "If you want me to leave, I will after this mission."
Jaimie stood shell-shocked. "Hombre, I didn't mean--"
"Save it, Jaimie." Revenge said. "Nightwing has a debriefing to do. I've got lives to protect."
The Black Hero jumped the building and was gone.

"How did you come by the information?"
"Private communication with Holly."
"She's still serving our purposes?"
"Yes."
