(POV General)

After the morning workout everyone on the team moved to Josh and asked if he was okay.

Josh quelled their fears and then without knowing took a glance at Artemis who was wiping the sweat off her head taking note of her detail figure as he subconsciously gulped.

Artemis wore workout pants which were tight enough for her butts figure to be pronounced. Her top was a simple white tank top covering her ample chest revealing her stomach showing pristine muscle.

After staring for what felt long when it wasn't Artemis looked to Josh trying to get her own look. Where their eyes then locked and like clock work they both blushed beat red averting each other's gaze. 

This caught everyone's attention including M'gann's who looked to Artemis coyly while the guys looked confused. 

M'gann had after witnessing this small thing spoke out saying.

"Oh hello Megan I have some spare food in the fridge any you want some?"

M'gann looked to the boys where Kid Flash and SuperBoy both ran to the kitchen as both boys loved food. Robin and Kaldur a little wiser on what M'gann was doing indulged her and followed their fellow teens leaving Artemis and Josh alone in the gym.

Silence. Was all that could be heard within the room. As both stared at each other both began to speak however both then stopped waiting for the other to speak.

Josh was first sitting down decided to stand and then walked to her not saying a word grabbing her hand while the other was placed on her cheek.

No words were spoken however they both knew what each other thought. 

Both Josh and Artemis begin to close the distance with a kiss.

(Shift and Artemis report to mission bay)

Batman over the PA system called the love birds before they kissed. Both then let each other go and blushed again.

And before they moved Artemis spoke first.

"The Circus was fun. We should do it again."

Artemis then ran to the mission bay for Batman's report while Josh stood dumbfounded and thought.

'I guess I'll get another chance?'

Josh then like Artemis ran to the Mission bay where everyone was waiting being the team and Batman who was in front of his holographic screen showing the teams next mission. 

"On July fourth several notorious ice villains made individual attacks. Mr. Freeze, Captain Cold, Killer Frost, and Icicle Junior. However all were easily apprehended."

Batman began the debriefing with the fact that several ice powered villains coordinated their own attacks via the same time.

Batman facing his team continued his debriefing.

"Apprehended too easily Captain Cold and Killer Frost were sent to Belle Reve a jail facility used to house the super-powered. The seventeen year old Icicle Junior however was sent to a Juvenile facility. And Freeze petitioned the court sanity and Junior tried as an adult sending both villains to Belle Reve. Which seems to have been the goal all along."

Batman then walked to SuperBoy and M'gann beginning to fill the necessary blanks for what the mission was.

"I am sending you two under the guise of the Terror Twins who will be caught by us and replaced by you into Belle Reve where it is your mission to discover what their plan is."

Kaldur was the first to speak after Batman questioning if any on the inside would know if there true identities.

But to Kaldur's dismay Batman said no one as they themselves had no clue as to who was trustworthy or not.

"Then what are we here for?"

Kid Flash the most proactive of the group asked as to why mainly he was present as Batman's mission only pertained to SuperBoy and Miss Martian.

Batman gave his casual glare forcing the teen to be silent. While Josh also asked a similar question.

"Are there more missions for us?"

Batman didn't look at Josh but pressed a button on his holographic console as the Zeta Tube announced some visitors.

"Recognized 07; Martian Manhunter

Recognized 16; Red Tornado"

As the code names were called both hero's appeared in the cave. Batman noticing their arrival sent SuperBoy and Miss Martian on their way for the mission.

Once the same light emitted sending the hero's and teens to their duties Batman pulled up a familiar image. 

"Isn't that?"

Artemis spoke first after recognizing it to be the very symbol that the Vulture had inside its machinery.

Batman ignoring Artemis continued over the debriefing.

"This symbol is an enigma that needs to be answered so you all will be given coordinates accept Aqua-Lad who will use Bio-Ship to cover SuperBoy and Miss Martian."

Then after each member was given coordinates they all left the cave.
