Chapter Four- "Behind the Scene"
Red Revenge hoped he wasn't as stupid as he looked. He was currently waiting for an assassin at a location and time she had determined. That just happened to be a dark alley at midnight.
Revenge folded his arms and glanced at the clock on his HUD. The time was 11:59. A few sekunde later, it turned 12:00 and holly jumped down from the moto escape.
"You're right on time." Revenge said. "If the appointment was at 11:24."
holly frowned.
"You're not that good at hiding in shadows." Revenge said. "What did wewe call me here for?"
"To tell wewe that the setup on Grant is not a real threat." holly said.
"It seems real enough." Revenge said.
"It supposed to." holly said. "The real target is you."
"Big surprise." Revenge said, rolling his eyes beneath his mask.
"Here." holly said, handing Revenge a USB drive.
Revenge looked at it and after a moment, crushed it in his hand.
holly looked shocked.
"It was a virus." Revenge said. "And a good one too. Designed to infiltrate my computers, take data, and destroy my hard drives. I'm assuming wewe bought it from LexCorp?"
"How- How did you-?"
"I'm not stupid." Revenge said. "Now run along, kid. Before I think about taking wewe in."
holly grinned and flipped backwards onto the moto escape. Her body moved fluidly in a single motion.
"Sure," she said, and was gone.
Revenge frowned and shot a grappling line, swinging away.

The green-white domino mask lay on the table. holly had slipped into some dark green jeans and a black shirt. She was leaning on the dawati with one leg pushing on the piece of furniture at a 90 degree angle. She ran a hand through her blonde, silky hair and looked at her counter-part.
The Asian-American, black haired assassin was still dressed in her dark green garb. Her messy black hair fell across her face. She continued typing on the computer.
"We've got to think of something else." holly finally spoke.
"I didn't think he would fall for it." Cheshire said. "But we tried your plan, now we try mine."
"No." holly said, standing up. "I've voiced my opinions on doing that to our targets."
"I don't really care." Cheshire said. "If wewe don't want to do that, then I'll take him down myself."
"I can shoot perfectly straight!" holly protested.
"Please, wewe can't hit a schoolyard. I've got to get to the target. wewe can take guard for once." Cheshire pulled on her mask and grinned. "Take good care of my sister, too."
holly groaned and watched as Cheshire went to ripoti to the Light.

"This ought to be fun." Sam muttered, spotting a familiar blonde teen walking towards him.
It had been a week since their last encounter. Sam continued playing Batman's game. He actually found it amusing to mess with Artemis's head. Both as a vigilante and as a teen.
Luckily, the park was fairly empty. It wouldn't be good publicity for Samuel Grant to be seen with a bila mpangilio girl. Especially one that looked like a vigilante that belonged on the other side of the nation.
"Didn't expect to see wewe here." Sam alisema as a greeting.
Artemis shrugged as she fell in sync with his footsteps.
"Looking for zaidi information this time?" Sam asked.
"No. I thought I would do a social call." Artemis replied.
Sam raised an eyebrow.
Before Artemis could speak again, something vibrated in Sam's pocket. He pulled out his phone and saw an alert. The Dealer had positioned himself downtown and was threatening to dump chemicals into the sewers.
"I'm sorry." Sam said, shoving the phone back in his pocket. "I've got to go home. Maybe I'll see wewe around?"
Artemis looked a little upset but nodded and put on a fake smile. "Sure."
Sam grinned and jogged off. North.
'Strange.' Artemis thought. Doesn't Grant live near the west side of New York?'
She waved it off. Her earpiece buzzed.
"Yes?" she asked.
"Your chance to get on Revenge's good side is here. One of his villains is threatening to poison the city. Get down to the Empire State Building. Now."
"On my way." Artemis said, slipping behind a building and sliding on her uniform.
---------------------------------------------------------
kwa the time the archer got downtown, Red Revenge was trading blows with the henchmen of the criminal. He was outnumbered. 10 to 1.
Artemis fired an arrow at three guys. Foam exploded and hardened around them, disabling their movements.
"Thought wewe could use a hand." Artemis said, leaping down beside the vigilante.
"Forget about me!" Revenge growled. "Get the Dealer!"
"That's it?" Artemis asked. "That's your name? The Dealer?"
The man ignored the teen and opened a vial, dumping it above the sewer opening.
Artemis shot two arrows. The first hit the rim of the sewer and exploded in foam, causing the liquid to be absorbed into the foam. The sekunde was aimed at the Dealer. The arrow attached to his chest and gas hissed out. Dealer groaned and collapsed to the ground, unconscious.
Revenge knocked the last guy to the ground and turned to Artemis. "Do wewe always talk this much during missions?" he asked.
"Why so serious?" Artemis asked. "I like making fun of the villains before taking them down."
"I just want the job over and done with." Revenge said, firing a grappling hook and swinging off.
Artemis frowned and disappeared from the scene, slipping into the shadows.

Revenge threw the criminal into the ukuta and heard a satisfying groan of pain.
Nightbird grinned and started to walk out, but Revenge stopped her. He picked something up from one of the criminals before grappling through the roof.
Nightbird opened the doors and yelled at Draxx to come collect his revenue au something before joining Revenge on the roof.
"What is it?" she asked.
Revenge pulled a red-black feather out of his utility ukanda and looked at it for a moment before jumping off the building and landing on his motorbike, speeding away.

C'mon. Did wewe really expect me to end it there? XD
Epilouge:
Slade moved into the room. He bowed before the dark shadow. The voice spoke to him.
“You failed me Slade.”
“I know master. But she is stronger than we first expected.”
“Yes. I know. I expected as much from her. But we now have her in a dangerous position.”
“Master?”
“Shade must make her choice. She has followed the Light for seventy years. Now, she must choose whether she is willing to risk everything au to continue to play hero.”
“And if she chooses hero?”
“She won't.”
“But Master-”
“Shade thinks she is in the clear. But I have one last trick up my sleeve.”

Robin:
i decided to take a quick walk to get Artemis and Wally's yelling out of my head. there where little snowflakes falling and frost gathered on the ground, the harbor had a happy Christmasy feel to it, i walked kwa a little group of kids and they were singing.
"Dashing through the snow, in a pair of broken skis over the hills we go crashing into trees bam, bam, bam the snow is turning red i think i'm almost dead woke up in the hospital with stitches in my head" the song was odd but the kids were laughing, wewe just had to smile, but then the kids went on to the sekunde verse.
"Jingle bells, Batman smells," WAIT WHAT?! my eyes widen
"Robin laid and egg," I glare and stomp up the sidewalk, but the kids are still singing
"The Bat-mobile Lost its wheel and Joker flew away HEY, jingle bells, jingle bells.........." i mutter stupid kids
