"It's Red Tornado"!

So after Robin and Artemis avoid fire, that seemingly come from some metahuman, for several minutes; they go into the showers to avoid the fire. Unfortunately, they find the hard way that there is someone else there that controls water, so the room floods. They just barely escape to make it into a vent. Dick hacks into the system to find out what happened, in which they happen to overhear Kaldur questioning: Conner, Me'gan, and Wally if school is having any conflict with the team. This could be a point that is missed often, but the way he says this in tone; it makes it seem like he is trying read in any of them happen to be traitors because this is just the beginning of this mystery so everyone is still on the table as far as he is concerned. All three say it is not an issue, but Kaldur does question if Artemis would be able to keep up, but Wally is the one that shows faith in her; even if it is in a sarcastic way. After Wally defends her, we see the elements move and take out the cameras so they are not shown the identity of the attackers.

Artemis starts to freak out as she sees how easily these people with powers are taken out by these intruders. Which is also a nice part of her character; in that she has the idea that people with powers somehow have an easier time, not only with job but also for life in general. This could also point to the fact that she does find some sense of security with her teammates with powers, where most people would feel paranoia or fear of what these people might do if they turned. However, Artemis knows all too well that regular people can cause just as much damage as super-powered people that seem to be genuinely good people. They start to move toward the other members, in one of the few comedic lines in this episode where Artemis mentions that it is clichéd that there would be a secret entrance in a bookcase; to which Robin responds that she should see the Batcave. Before they find the entrance, they hear someone that sounds like Red Tornado; but turns out to be another android entirely. Dick pushes Artemis out of the way just in time, but once they enter the tunnel they are told they have the remainder of time in the episode(about fifteen minutes at this point) before they kill the other members.

Even after hearing that news, Dick immediately heads towards finding them but Artemis pulls him back and asks him how they are going to fight these things. As 'Red Tornado' is one of the most powerful league members, she logically asks how they would handle two of them. After getting some information from the other members; they also check that Kaldur and Me'gan are encaged in fire and Wally and Conner are being drowned. They escape the 'Reds' by water, but not before Artemis is attacked and loses most of her arrows in the water. Dick helps get her out and they go straight into the pipeline to find out what they would do as they are completely out of their element.

That is all for this second part of this mini-series guys. Thank you all for reading. Trying to keep these to a short reading time frame as most people are busy. They are short and sweet as blogs should be. Next part I will finish(maybe) 'Homefront'.
