The thriller of who kidnapped Young Justice continues to be unknown, however Dark Crisis: Young Justice #2 (by Meghan Fitzmartin, Laura Braga, Luis Guerrero, and Pat Brosseau) might have given followers their first clue. In the true world, Wonder Girl sought out the assistance of Arrowette to research the boys’ disappearance. Her flippant angle, seen anger about her previous, and blatant makes an attempt to not put in any effort appear to indicate emotions of guilt.
There are a number of holes on this concept, however to this point no viable candidate has been given for who might have taken the boys — and even why. Arrowette, nonetheless, has a stunning quantity of bitterness in the direction of Young Justice, the boys particularly. Her actions since their disappearance appear to recommend that she had, at the least, just a little one thing to do with it.
The primary implication of this concept — motive. Arrowette has expressed her disdain for her previous with the group. She rightfully factors out that Young Justice just isn’t solely a poisonous surroundings for the kids, but additionally fights people who find themselves merely attempting to do their finest in life. Arrowette additionally reveals a selected dislike for the boys, calling them “three privileged idiots” and went on to elaborate on how their disappearance is not an issue for her. It appears fully believable that she might even be pleased that they are gone. In her eyes, the world revolves round them, and she or he is nothing greater than a aspect character, one thing she resents and is very happy to go away behind.
Arrowette’s recognition of how tough the previous was for her is likely to be all the explanation she must attempt to take away Young Justice from her world. Maybe she genuinely felt the world was higher off with out them in it. Which in flip, leads to her eliminating them as a substitute of forcing the world to proceed to endure their privilege.
Her phrases are supported by Young Justice’s battle with the Mighty Endowed, then Tora, and in a while the habits of their mentors. These occasions appear to be extra than simply mere coincidences. It is virtually as if the world is responding to what Arrowette is saying and making it a actuality.
Maybe the most important trace of guilt got here when she and Wonder Girl approached Red Twister. Whereas Wonder Girl requested for assist, Arrowette rejected her and even tried to dissuade her. Not wanting to assist is one factor, however attempting to cease others from serving to hints at one thing extra sinister.
Nonetheless, there’s a flaw on this concept, Arrowette would not have any superpowers. She’s an archer, a superb one, however not a supernatural being able to altering actuality. To date that energy solely belongs to Pariah. However, Arrowette additionally spent a while out of the highlight, so there isn’t any affirmation of what she did or what occurred to her throughout that point. She might have acquired powers behind the scenes and saved it a secret.
