Zatanna's POV

Zatanna struggled against the pain in her side. Cheshire had stabbed her between the ribs with her sai, puncturing her lungs. Connor was still being beaten into the ground by a Titan/Blockbuster-powered Bane. The fight had started out well for him, but Bane was a tactician, as well as a fighter. Superboy wasn't prepared for the brute stregnth of Blockbuster and the mind of a genious strategist. one of his legs were snapped, several ribs broken, and his right arm was twisted around his back and pinned by Bane's sheer weight. M'gann was screaming in mental agony from Madame Rouge's mind. She couldn't handle the twisted mind Rouge had purposely created.

Wally was knocked out cold by Sportsmaster. Once again, he underestimated his foe as too slow for him and easy to mess with. He was bleeding under his mask, his eyes covered in it. Artemis was hanging in her own arrow trap. Firing at her father, Artemis had not expected him to grab the arrow and throw it back at her, encasing her in a net that became ever tighter, up to the point it started digging into her flesh.

Kaldur was dead. Cheshire had snapped hs neck and thrown him onto a conveyor belt, leading to a shredder. For all the skill Aqualad had, Cheshire was too fast for him. She had moved faster than normally possible. Zatanna suspected a speed potion from a new villian named Alchemist. There was a moment of hesitation before Cheshire killd Kaldur, as if she didnt' want to. Zatanna couldn't look at him. It was too painful, especially after Red Arrow. It infuriated her to see Jade there. Cheshire was supposed to be a hero, protecting the world from evil along with the Team. Zatanna hadn't questioned her decision to leave, only wished her luck in her mission. Now she wished she had.

Zatanna wished Robin was there. He would have been able to even the odds against Sportsmaster, Rouge, Bane, Grodd and Cheshire. But he had left because of Red Arrow's death, orchestrated by Vandal Savage and carried out by Icicle Jr. The young magician trusted the Boy Wonder more than anyone else on the Team. She missed him.

Gorilla Grodd had planned it out. He had sent mercenaries to attack first, causing them to rush in. Now the team was going to be killed. Their mission was to retrieve the material known as White Iron from Wayne Enterprises' Jump City headquarters. The material could not be bent or changed in any way without the dissolving substance at Gotham's Wayne Enterprises. Not event the power of the entire Green Lantern Corp could break it. Of course, that didn't matter now because it was just a bar of metal right now. The team hadn't counted on the Injustice League ambushing them in the labs, Or Jade's betrayal. Now they would fail and the ultimate armor would be in their hands.

Zatanna had thought all these things out and was giving in to despair when Robin's voice, older but still his, was heard. little shuriken flew through the air like a swarm of killer bees, taking out Bane. An orange girl with glowing eyes slammed her fist into cheshire, sending her flying through the air. The assassin landed on her feet and fled. Sportsmaster was taken out by the cannon of a black teen with cybernetic implants. Grodd was fighting a green T-Rex. A girl in a purple cloak and a black leotard muttered under her breath and sent Rouge flying towards a brick wall. M'gann stopped screaming. Grodd pressed his teleportation device and left. Zatanna thought she was hallucinating until she felt him pick her up. "R-Robin?" was all she heard before she blacked out.
