Hiya. Last time we got an explanation of why the League might not want the team our on their own for the festival. Dr. Fate's being a troll and a tool. We also know Klarion is one of the Zodiac Knights bearing the Gemini sigil (there are two for this sign; they were chained together in the meeting).
This chapter is a little crackish, at least to start with. It shows you just how to put the ass in assume no matter how old you are. Also, brace yourself for the adorableness and weirdness that are Sylphine and her 'twin brother' Gabriel. Another knight is revealed not only to the readers but the heroes as well. And it feels like just like...well...a kick in the teeth.

The Papa Roach song Kick in the Teeth gets us goin.
Chapter 4
Kick in the Teeth
We live in a cold dark world
With venom in its veins
You can spit in my face but I know I'll be okay
Its on the attack, its a war, its a game
A ball and chain chew my arm off to get away
Don't fight it
Or deny it
Invite it!
For a bunch of teens who could probably get into MENSA if they were actually interested, Young Justice did not think this plan through very well.
If they had, they would have realized just disappearing without warning and no way to be contacted by their mentors might be taken the wrong way.
That's right. Operation Hooky was in essence a demonstration in the silent treatment.
The plan was very simple. Zatanna cast a spell to cause the footage in the cave to loop of them doing what they do daily. Their security clearance was not high enough to do it electronically.
While the others prepared to leave, Robin and Kid Flash sneak onto the Watchtower by hacking into the zeta tube system. KF confronts his uncle demanding the elder speedster tell them why the League is suddenly so interested in everything the team is doing. Wally begs his uncle to talk to him. And when he refuses, Wally threatens him with some interesting photos and video from a party. At the same time, Robin is infecting the locator program with a virus that erases their signatures form the data base. The two leave and return to the cave
The team splits up going to 4 destinations in their civies. Raquel and Kaldur go to a water park in Gotham. Zatanna and Artemis go to see a movie and hang out at a mall in Metropolis. Robin and Wally spend the day at a mega-arcade in Star City. Connor took Megan to Central for a picnic with Sphere and Wolf runnig around in the background. They ditched their league communicators for throw away cellphones and Robin fried the tracker in his R-cycle.
Now, what was suppose to happen was the League get worried and once they realized they the team was fine and had just needed some R&R unsupervised, they could all talk about the weirdness with watching them like big brother with a short leash.
Yeah.
It sounded like a good idea at the time. Most horrible ideas do.
Here’s what actually happened.
All hell broke loose.
“Will you guys chill out!” Flash yelled. Everyone turned to him. The same group from the March meeting. “They know something is up. This sneaking around them and looking over their shoulders has made them distrust us. Wally tried to blackmail me before they vanished. Now I know if I had just told him, this would not have happened.”
“The team has gone rogue. This isn’t a spur of the moment thing Barry. They planned this, making sure to leave behind anything we could trace them with and crippling our computers. That doesn’t sound like they were going to just sit down and talk with you.” Hal Jordan frowned.
“No, I agree with Flash. This wasn’t the way to get the answers we were looking for and we may have done just what we were trying to prevent.”
“This was bound to happen sooner or later.” Superman sighed. “Put out an APB to all active JLA members. The team known a Young Justice has gone AWOL and are to be considered armed and dangerous.”
Yep.
See what happens when people don’t talk to each other?
So while the teens were having a ball, the whole of the League was on the lookout for them. And ironically Batman was the only one to locate one of the pairs after they had had their fun and were on their way back. The batmobile pulled up along side Robin’s bike and forced them off the road.
“What the hell Bats?!” Wally ripped off his helmet.
“Why did you disappear?” The Dark Knight was secretly hoping that Barry had been right.
“Because you’ve been breathing down our necks for months but won’t tell us why. We know you guys are monitoring us like lab rats. We know that Locator is a global tracker that keeps tabs on unknowns with potential to be heroes or villains. This isn’t 1984 or Minority Report. You don’t have the right to do any of this!” Robin yelled. “What is going on?!”
“They think we’re all about to snap Dickie bird.”
Sitting on the hood of the Batmobile was none other than Red Arrow. He didn’t look like a recovering heroine addict dressed in his uniform. He sat cross legged , arms folded and smirking like a cat that got the cream.
“How did you get out of the Rehab hospital Roy? You’re not due for release for two days and you sure as hell aren’t cleared to be in uniform.” Bruce had a very bad feeling about this. He stopped Robin and Wally from going to greet their friend. Something was off.
“I was never there Mr. Wayne, one of my dolls was. So, how’s the Super Deadbeat doing? I know Ma and Pa Kent aren’t too happy about his ignoring their grandson. Last I saw Ms. Lane threw he engagement ring at him.” Red arrow slid off the car and walked towards them. He cocked his head to the side in response to their confusion. “Yes I know who you all are.”
“But you’re not our bro are you.” Robin glared at the new comer, reaching for his collapsible bo staff he always kept on him. Batman saw the hurt on his little bird’s face, heard it in his voice, and it angered him. Batman took a battle stance and so did Wally.
“The answer is yes and no. Yes my name is Roy and yes I am the same Roy you’ve always known. But no I am not your bro. My real name is Sagittarius.”
A golden broach with the sign of the archer appeared on his throat as a black hood and cloak dotted with stars wrapped around him. The broach settled on the living material and an eerie chuckle sounded from under the hood of the cloak.
Here was the same criminal that has captured Lois three months ago and managed to fire a beam of light straight through Clark’s chest. He had been unharmed but the mystery remained how it happened. Lois claimed he only wanted to talk and in the process revealed the secret of Connor’s origin and subsequent treatment to her. Lois lost it when Superman came for her.
Shit.
*I am bum...bum...bum...a line break!*
Back at the cave, Black Canary and Red Tornado were looking for clues. Their search had lead them out doors to a bush rustling in the still air.
“Black Canary, I am detecting humanoid life in the bushes other there.” Red Tornado walked closer to the source of the rustling. When he reached inside, a shriek of terror was heard followed by a very young voice with less than appropriate things to say.
“Son of a bitch! You scared by little sister you overgrown toaster! Bastard!” A little boy no older than 10 jumped out and round-housed the android pushing him back. He landed and Canary was shocked. His hair was the color of snow and his skin like liquid paper. Deep purple eyes narrowed at her. Cowering behind him was a little girl of the same age with long black braids, gold eyes and skin like creamed coffee and face streaked with tears. Sister? Both were so cute but could possibly be related. Why were they out here?
“We’re sorry we scared you two--”
“I wasn’t scared!”
“Er... I”m Black Canary. What’s your name?”
“Black Canary? Who named you blondie?” The boy snorted. “I’m Gabriel and this is my twins sister Sylphine.”
“We need help. The bad man with the bow and arrows is gonna get us!” Sylphine began to sniffle. “We heard heroes live here.”
“It appears we have another problem.” Red Tornado said. He listened to his on board communicator.“Batman found Robin and Kid Flash. They are on their way here but Batman is critically injured. A...Sagittarius attacked the three of them.”
“The same one from Metropolis?”
“Yes.”
“Whagh! Don’t let him get us!” Sylphine wailed louder.
Things just got a helluva lot more complicated.
*I am bum...bum...bum...a line break!*
Roy’s a meanie! And the Zodiac Knight Sagittarius. What up with the cute kids? Next chapter, everything come back to the opening of chapter one.
