Hi, everyone! I hope that you all like this chapter. We're going to get into Kaldur's head a bit and find out what's going on. This story is fairly short but, at this point I'm honestly am not going to finish before season 3. Oh well, I guess we'll see. On to the chapter!

Kaldur's POV

I walk down the hallway towards my father's study. He said he had another mission for me to carry out. It was most likely another one to test my allegiance to him and the Light. Ever since I joined up with my father it seems like those are the only missions I get. I don't know how else I must prove myself. I already killed one of my old teammates. Does that not show that I am loyal to them!? I sigh, I understood why my father continues to give me these missions. I would do the same if I were in his shoes. He has to know though that I am absolutely dedicated to the Light's cause. I finally understood why those I fought while being Aqualad did what they did. This all makes sense. All of these actions are necessary to provide for a better world. A world that the Light will be able to bring. I scoff as I think of the Justice League and the Team. They are so stupid and moronic. They think that they can just stop us. The Light has been working for years and it is very close to achieving its goal. Their alien partner, the Reach, are helping them continue with their mission. The world will soon be bathed in the light and they will see. They will see like I did. They will all finally understand. I smirk as I think to the Lights future plans. Things will work out just as the Light wants. I stop in front of the door to my father's study. I knock on the door and wait to be allowed into the room. "Come in," I hear the gruff voice of my father say. I open the door and can make out my father sitting at his desk. I walk over to him and bow slightly, "Father."

Father nods his head, "Kaldur'ahm. I have your next mission for you." I nod my head and take a step closer to my father's desk. My father starts to speak again, describing the mission to me. I nod my head after he tells me what he wishes for me to do, "I will assemble a team of troopers."

"No. Your team for this mission has already been chosen for you," Father states.

I look at him, "Who?"

"The Terror Twins, Icicle Jr, and RH," My father lists the member of my team.

"Who is RH?" I question, already knowing the others in my group.

My father sighs, "Someone that works for Ra's Al Ghul. The Light requested that you have a right hand man. They wished for it to be someone that they chose and could trust."

"They want to ensure I do not turn on them. They are having me babysat by their little watchdog," I spat.

My father shakes his head, "Don't be like that, my son. You know that I trust you. You just need to convince the other members of the Light the same thing. This mission should do just that. That is if you succeed."

"I will succeed, father," I states.

"I'm sure you will. Now go," My father says. I nod and bow before exiting my father's study. I turn to the guard that is posted by the door, "Get someone to ready my ship."

"Yes, sir," the guard replies.

----------------------------------

I make my way to the Manta Flyer and meet with the rest of my strike team. I frown when no one else is there except for a man with a helmet covering his face. I make my way over to the man and he crosses his arms when he sees me approaching. "My name is Kaldur'ahm. I assume you're RH." I say.

RH nods his head, "Yeah. That's me."

"You're an assassin?" I ask him.

He shrugs, "I guess." I frown, finding something odd about the man. "Do you know where the others are?" I question.

He shakes his head, "Nope, they never showed. I'm the first one it would seem." I shake my head, why did I have to be assigned with a strike team that is this ridiculous. Do they not understand that we have a job to do? Suddenly, I can hear footsteps coming down the hallway. It's the Terror Twins along with Icicle Jr., slowly making their way over. I scowl and scan over them when they finally are standing in front of me. "Where were you? There was a specific time that we were all supposed to be here in order to make our way to each of the required spots. Have you all forgotten how crucial this mission is?" I state.

"Yeah...crucial to you," Icicle Jr. mutters.

I glare at him, "What was that?"

"N-nothing. I...uh...just was thinking...that..." Icicle Jr, stutters.

Tuppence looks me in the eyes and sighs, "He's trying to say that you're not the boss of us. We can go wherever we want, whenever we want. We aren't your slaves and you have no power over us." I roll my eyes, how stupid can they be. Do they have any idea who they are talking to? Do they have any idea who I am? Who my father is? This is exactly why the heroes have been able to succeed so many times, because of stupid people like this. "I am your leader for this mission, so what I say goes. I requested you be here at a certain time and you were not. Now get onto the flyer, do not make me ask twice," I say in a stern voice. The three quickly file onto the the ship. RH whistles, "Wow....this is going to be one long mission." He makes his way onto the ship as well. I shake my head, "Yes...it definitely will be."

---------------------------

Soon enough, we are on the ship and heading towards their first target. Tuppence sighs and looks at her brother, "Brother Tommy...I think we're plum crazy to be throwing in with this fellar. It wasn't too long ago when Aqualad and his friends locked us back up in Belle Reve."

Tommy looks back at her, "Well, Sister Tuppens, folks say that he had a change of heart when he found out who his papi is."

Icicle Jr. walks over to the group and puts in his own two sense, "I heard that he switched sides because of some girl...." I roll my eyes as my strike team continues to ramble on and on. Do they believe I am deaf? I can clearly hear every word they are saying. They should know better than to question my allegiance. They continue to talk and I roll my eyes. "I'm more concerned about this RH character. How come the Terror Twins have never heard of him?" Tommy says, glancing back at RH.

RH huffs, "You know we can here you."

"That's fine. These are open questions," Tommy replies with a smirk. I open my mouth to reply, but RH beats me to it. "Which one of you wishes to ask your open questions to Black Manta? Or Ra's Al Ghul? I assure you that neither will appreciate your suspicions of their son and his personally chosen right hand," RH states. The color drains from Tommy's face and avoids looking at RH. I glance over at my right hand, not expecting for him to defend me like that. It would seem that some people in this line of work understand their role. RH notices me looking at him and looks back at me. I nod my head at him and he does the same. I look back at my control panel and see that we are quickly approaching our target. "Get ready. We are nearing our target," I say in a loud voice.

--------------------------------

When the flyer lands, we all exit the ship. I give my strike team their instructions, "Capture Blue Beetle along with whoever may be with him." The others nod their heads and go in the direction of our target. I form a small sword from water and slowly followed them. In my other hand is a tracking device. Or what will appear like a tracking device. Blue Beetle is still a young hero, he would fall for my plan easily. New heroes make the silliest mistakes. This mistake will work in our favor. I continue to walk and eventually I spot the fight that is happening on the lower ground. Things seem to be working in the favor of my team, but soon enough the tides start to shift. I had suspected as much would happen. My eye catches a speedster on the ground, standing close to Blue Beetle. He notices me and rushes right over. It would seem that this speedster is another new hero, a new hero who is going to make a costly mistake. I glance at him when he suddenly appears beside me. I ignore him as he rambles about who knows what. I prepare myself to fight, even though I have no intentions of doing so. I reach out and give a pathetic punch while the speedster dodges it with ease. He quickly reaches into my other hand and takes the tracking device, he then runs back to stand beside Blue Beetle. I sigh, it worked just like I had planned. The speedster and Blue Beetle both quickly make a hasty retreat. My strike force look at me with angry faces, specifically Tommy Terror. "Good job, chief. Now we lost our only way of tracking Blue Beetle," Tommy exclaims.

I shake my head, "This is not over. Report back to the flyer." Soon enough, the group are back on the ship. I reach down and pick up another tracking device. Tommy stares at it, "If you had another one...why didn't you just say so..."

I sigh, "They are not the same. This one confirms that the first acted like a Trojan horse. The speedster brought the other into the Cave, where it hacked and disabled all security." The others all glance at me with sinister looks on their faces. I smirk as I set the flyer to take us to the Cave, "Mount Justice is ours..."

-------------------------

When we arrive, I tell everyone to split up. We would finish this with ease. The Team would have no idea what was coming. They would never expect us to be here. I go to the back of the flyer and grab something that I plan on using whether the team stands down or not. Once it is in my hands, I make my way out of the flyer. I hear noises from the center of the cave. I make my way to the main area and see my team fighting against the heroes. Tuppence has Beast Boy passed out and thrown over her shoulder. Tommy is dealing with the speedster and Icicle Jr. seems to be the only one that was taken out. RH stands over Nightwing's passed out body. All of the heroes have collars over their necks. I smirk, perfect. Things were working out just fine. Suddenly, Tommy falls down as Blue Beetle fires off his sonic cannon. Blue Beetle hovers in the air and I grimace. We outnumber him, but he is in possession of Reach tech. It may give him the upper hand. I walk into the open, bringing the bomb along with me. "Stand down," I say in an authoritative voice, "This battle is over."

Blue Beetle shouts at me and points his weapon at me, "I don't think so traitor!"

"Maybe you should think again, Beetle," I state, placing the bomb onto the floor and unzipping the bag it is being carried in, "I am holding down the dead-man switch. If my finger comes off of it, Mount Justice falls." Blue Beetle looks at me with wide eyes before slowly lowering to the floor. He lifts his arms up in surrender. Tommy moves over and places another collar on Blue Beetle. I nod, "Wise choice." Suddenly, Icicle Jr. appears behind me. "Enjoy your nap?" RH asks.

Icicle Jr. crosses his arms, "That wasn't supposed to happen. And I'm fine by the way."

"Good. Grab the speedster, Beast Boy, and Blue Beetle," I state, "Take them back to the flyer."

"What about these two?" RH asks.

I glance at Nightwing and Superboy, "Leave them. Nightwing is human. Superboy a human hybrid clone. Neither is of any worth to our partner." My team nods their heads and do what I asked. Nightwing rises and glares at me, "Aqualad! You'll regret this!" I roll my eyes, pathetic Nightwing. I walk over to him and swiftly punch him in the gut. Nightwing kneels over in pain. I walk away from him, "I've long outgrown the name Aqualad. As well as anything resembling regret." I meant the words I said. I feel no pity for my former teammates. I feel no connection to this old place. I feel no sadness over the fact that I caused my 'friends' pain. I don't regret stabbing Artemis. I would do it again if I could. "I'm going to leave this here," I say, gesturing towards the bomb, "The switch has a five mile radius. Do not pursue." I make my way back to the flyer a small grin appearing on my face. Soon enough, we are aboard the flyer with our captives. We fly away from Mount Justice and I glance at RH. He looks back at me, "Do it. I know you want to..." I nod and lift my finger from the switch. I know the bomb will go off any second now, leaving Mount Justice in pieces. I can't help but feel satisfied with my handiwork as we fly away from the fiery remains of the Cave.

------------------------------

When we return to base, my father is there to meet me. "Good job, Kaldur'ahm. Now come with me," He says as he leads me to another room. I don't question where he is taking me, trusting my father. We enter a room that has multiple screens on the wall. Each of the screen shows a different member of the Light. My father steps to the side and gestures at me, "Allow me to formally introduce you to Kaldur'ahm, my son. He has succeeded in this mission along with multiple others. He has captured the Beetle along with two other subjects. He is also responsible for the destruction of Mount Justice." I look at the screens, observing all of the villains that make up the Light. I make my way to the middle of the room and bow my head. When I lift my head back up, I make eye contact with the Demon's head. Ra's Al Ghul looks back at me, "Welcome to the Light, Kaldur'ahm."
