The team, minus Robin, was gathered around with Red Tornado, Green Arrow and Red Arrow, chatting. Most of them were in their civilian clothes and Zatanna was there too.
Recognize Artemis B07
"Artemis, finally! Look who has decided to join the team." Green Arrow gestured to Red Arrow.
"Sure. The team's needed a real archer." Artemis quipped. Wanda furrowed her brow, watching as Artemis walked into the cave.
"Okay everyone, listen up. The dynamic duo is working a case in Gotham. Batman gave me a heads up. Sportsmaster was spotted coming from a New Orleans airport." Wanda looked to Artemis, noticing the tiny shift in her facial expression.
"In full costume? Nervy."
"In street clothes. Facial recognition software picked up the I.D. Find out what he's up to."
"All of us?" Pietro groaned.
"Yeah, seems like overkill for a Shadow job." Conner added.
"Perhaps a small squad." Red Tornado suggested.
"Fine. The sidekicks- sorry, ex-sidekicks, will suit up. Aqualad, Red Arrow, and Kid Flash. You're on this mission."
"I want in. With Miss Martian and Robin out, no one has logged more hours flying the bioship."
"I want in too."
"Wanda?" Pietro looked unsure.
"What? Without Miss Martian, this squad will need someone there to create a mind link." Wanda defended her decision, not voicing that she wanted to make sure Artemis was alright. "We can't have the Shadows intercepting the comms."
"Alright, then suit up." Green Arrow dismissed everyone, sending the five teammates on their way.
On the bioship, Scarlet Witch watched Artemis pilot the ship as Red Arrow and Aqualad secured one of the motorbikes at the back of the ship. She listened in psychically to the conversation.
"I take it you did not join the team for the comradery?"
"No, and not to please GA either. There's a mole on your team, Kaldur. And suspect number one, is Artemis."
Scarlet Witch felt her anger flare up at Artemis being wrongly accused of being a mole. She silently seethed, glaring out the window. How dare Roy talk badly about Artemis? She would never hurt her friends, never betray them.
A pang of guilt hit Wanda, dulling her anger slightly. The longer she hid her status, the more suspicious and less trusting her friends became of each other, especially of Artemis. All because she was selfish and afraid.
She was a terrible friend. She didn't deserve to be on the team.

The small squad of team members watched as Sportsmaster rented a boat and took it out on the water.
Target is on the move. Pursue, but keep a distance. And that goes double for you Artemis. Sportsmaster has proven adept at spotting Martian camouflage while in motion.
