Megan groaned after a while of flying.
"What's wrong?" Aqualad asked her.
She sighed. "I could see Red cappuccio from here, but the bioship can't come close enough!"
I unbuckled and stood up. "So we run from here," I concluded.
The hatches opened under all of our feet and we headed toward the man in the red helmet.
"Megan, Superboy, and Erica, since te three can fly--"
"Leap," Superboy interrupted.
"You three must stay ahead of him. The rest of us will attack him from behind."
"Got it!" The three of us shouted at him.
We flew (or super-leaped) over the Red cappuccio and made a bacheca right in front of him.
He ran back, towards the rest of the team.
"Get him!" Megan shouted.
I flew over to him, but stopped dead in my tracks. Artemis, KF, and Aqualad had their hands over their heads.
"Let him go," Aqualad pleaded.
My eyes slowly switched to Red Hood, then down. His arm was tight on the Boy Wonder's neck, with a dagger just a centimeter away.
"Leave now, o the Boy Wonder gets it," he threatened.
I sighed and lifted my hands. Superboy and Megan followed suit.
"Let him go!" I yelled at him. I hoped nobody could hear the shaking in my voice.
He pulled out a gun similar to Batman's grapple gun, and shot at the sky.
Wooooooow...
But what I didn't notice was a helicopter floating above us. Red cappuccio was still holding onto Robin when he elevated into the dark helicopter.
"ROBIN!!" I screamed, flying after him.
Red cappuccio got onto the helicopter and punched Robin in the face, making him faint. He pulled out a circular object from a bag and threw it down.
"What...?"
"Erica! It's a bomb!" Artemis yelled at me.
Shoot! I flew down and pulled a forcefield of water over the team before the bomb could hit us.
Large clouds of powder filled the night sky, making it seem even darker. The explosions threw themselves at the forcefields, making the loudest of noises.
Faintly, I saw the helicopter fly away.
Finally, the explosions stopped and I let the water sink to the ground.
I flew about six feet into the air when Aqualad grabbed my ankle.
"Erica, Black Canary said--"
"Do te think I CARE about what she says?!" I yelled. "We can't let Robin down! We have to save him!"
"The Justice League will do that," he detto soothingly.
"What happened to 'Leave no man behind'?"
"I never detto that," he said.
I rolled my eyes. "Whatever, I heard it in movies."
Kid Flash put his hand on Aqualad's shoulder. "She's right. Rob's only 13; he can't possibly survive this Red cappuccio guy."
The others nodded in agreement.
Aqualad sighed. "Alright. For the Boy Wonder."
We went back to the Bioship and headed to England, the location of our successivo battle.
"What's wrong?" Aqualad asked her.

Dozens of reporters swarmed around the billionaire from New York, but he calmly walked past them all and into the limousine. A bodyguard turned around.
"Mr. Grant has no statement to make." he detto in a heavy accent, and got into the car with the billionaire before it drove off.
"Target moving north."
"Nightwing?"
"What?"
"Did te hear that?"
"Yeah. I told te the target was moving north."
"It sounded like a girl detto it."
"Do I sound like a girl to you?"
"No."
"Then keep an eye on the target, Batgirl. Nightwing out."

"Good. Maintain your positions. The mostra is about to start. Nightwing out."
