CHAPTER 1 R

First chapter of a new story in a new day in a new week in a new month in a new year. This story is one I have been thinking about doing a month before joining this site.

I also own nothing except my OC's

And I will continue my previous book but I need to free up some space in my surface.

So sit back, relax and…

ENJOY!

*Flashback start* (Ren has black hair in this so he's not recognizable)

"Don't leave me. Please don't leave me" Ren pleaded.

Rick's hand weakly caressed Ren's cheek and smiled. Ren leaned his face on his hand and cried.

"I'm sorry but I have to" Rick croaked.

"Don't say that you'll make it through this" Ren assured even though he didn't believe it himself. It might have been false hope but it was all he had in the end. It's what happened if your Slade's apprentice, he'd take down anything you believed in and use you as a pawn in his game of chess.

"We're proud of you, son. We all love you" Rick whispered letting his hand slip down back to his side.

Ren's eyes widened and shook his uncle as he faded into a never-ending slumber to join his family. Ren clutched onto his uncle.

"No, no, no, no, no, no. This can't be happening, not again." Ren chanted, rocking his uncle back and forth.

Slade who has been there watching decided to intervene.

"Sladebots take him to the confinement room"

The three Sladebots obeyed and went to drag the boy. But Ren put up a fight, it took five Sladebots to contain him. They threw him in the confinement room and locked the door. Ren allowed himself to slide down the wall that supported him. He felt numb inside, the realization hadn't hit him yet. His uncle was dead, he had no one left.

He had always thought of Ravager as a sister but not after today. It was her fault uncle Rick died. She killed him right on front of him.

She started to act differently after Slade got a new apprentice. Her name was Scorpion or at least what she called herself. She had extraordinary skills when it came to weapons but not at hand – to – hand combat. Ravager had taken an interest in Scorpion and they became friends. Renegade didn't like her but he didn't let that stop him for missions or training. They had a mutual friendship but that quickly changed to hate. Ren warned Ravager she was no good but she didn't listen.

She (scorpion) had a part to blame in his uncle's death. It happened when they were on a mission. She had been too impatient and charged in only to be taken down by the thugs. The two had no choice but to go after her. Ren carried her back to their base. When she woke up Slade was furious he demanded to know whose fault it was. Scorpion cowered away. She blurted that it was me and Ravager backed her up. Slade looked at Ren who was in shock. He yelled that it wasn't him but Slade didn't believe Ren. He said lying to him came with a cost.

Ren shook his head to stop the memories and just curled up into a ball, he wanted this nightmare to end. After what seemed like hours Slade came into the room.

"I'm giving you one last chance boy. Tell me the truth" Slade demanded.

"I didn't do it" Ren repeated for the fifteenth time that day.

"Lying to me comes with a cost" Slade said.

Ren laughed hollowly.

"What more can you hurt me with? You already took away my family, you stripped me of everything" Ren's voice cracked near the end.

Slade motioned him to follow and Ren obeyed. He was led into the room where Ravager killed his uncle. Slade switched on the light and watched with amusement as Ren's eyes opened. Before Ren was two cages, one had his uncle's corpse and the other contained his little ten year old sister. Alive but unconscious. Ren ran to her only to be held back by Sladebots.

"Slade don't do this" Ren pleaded.

"Too late" Slade growled.

Ravager then came in with Scorpion. She sent Ren a look of disgust after turned her gaze to Slade.

"Master may I do the honours?" Ravager asked, smiling viciously.

Slade nodded. Ravager walked toward the cupboard and pulled out a litre of gasoline. Ren's eyes opened even wider as he figured what she had planned.

"Rose please don't do this. Sparrow's all I have left. She only ten" Ren pleaded as Ravager poured gasoline on them.

Ravager ignored him and lit up a match and set them on fire. Sparrow's eyes shot open and screamed as the flame spread all over her body. Ren couldn't take anymore he passed out, he couldn't take the pain.

The realization finally hit him.

*Flashback end*

Ravagers POV

"Ravager are you ok?" Scorpion asked.

Ravager jumped and noticed she was surrounded by the concerned faces of her teammates.

"Sorry just bad memories coming back" Ravager whispered looking down.

"Would you like to talk about it?" Scorpion asked.

Ravager was about to answer but Batman called them to the mission room.

When at the mission room Batman pulled files and footages.

"Team Bane has been seen in a number of places around Happy Harbour. Here is a footage taken two nights ago."

Bane lifted the frightened man by the collar.

"Where is he?" Bane demanded.

"Where is who sir?" The man squeaked.

"The little blind Niño and his friend" Bane clarified.

"We don't know, we sent men after them but they returned with injuries and broken bones. They said they were attacked by black blurs" The man answered.

Bane tightened his grip on the man. The man whimpered in pain.

"And the Talon we sent" Bane hissed.

"He was found near death by the police. When asked, Talon said he was attacked by shadows" The man said.

Bane growled and dropped the man.

"IN TWO DAYS WE GO GET THE LITTLE BRATS! BRING ALL THE MEN" Bane barked storming out of the room.

"We need to find them before Bane gets to them. By the recent attempts of Bane we come to the conclusion that they live on the outskirts of Happy Harbour. Your job is to find the two, protect them and bring them back for questioning. Any questions?"

Megan raised her hand.

"Yes Megan" Batman said

"How do we know how they look like?" Megan asked.

Batman brought up a picture. It showed two teenagers. The boy had dirt blonde hair, a pale complexion and wore black sunglasses and had a walking stick. The girl beside him also wore black sunglasses and she had brown hair.

"I bet he's just faking it" Wally said.

Artemis slapped him upside the head.

"Why would he be faking to be blind Baywatch" Artemis spat.

Wally ran and hid behind Robin (Jason Todd) who was laughing.

"Nothing" Wally said quickly.

"Poor them. Their defenceless against Bane" Batgirl sighed.

"And that's you're going to go search for them. Now go get dressed you leave in ten minutes" Batman announced.

We nodded and left go get ready.

*BREAKLINE*

No POV

"Wonder what Bane wants them for?" Robin asked.

"I don't know but when I get my hands on him he's gonna wish he never laid eyes on them" Batgirl growled.

"Because you love him" Kid Flash teased.

The team laughed at this causing Batgirl to blush. Aqualad saw it and decided to get the attention off her.

"Ms. Martian ETA" Aqualad said in his leadership voice.

"ETA ten minutes" Ms. Martian reported.

Batgirl sent a smile his way as a way of thanks, he nodded his head and looked straight forward.

After a few seconds of silence Robin spoke.

"So BG will you confess your love to your prince charming?"

Once again laughter erupted in the Bioship. Batgirl bowed her head to hide her reddened face.

*MISSION TIME*

"Everyone know what to do and their posts"Aqualad said through the mind link.

He got a courses of yes from the team.

"Ok team move out"Aqualad declared.

The teams searched the out skirts for the teenagers for twenty minutes.

"Guys I found them, they're going into a warehouse but they're surrounded" Robin said.

Since the team was near they made it to Robin quickly and sneaked into the building. Once in the building they saw Bane walking around the two smiling. But the two hostages weren't phased, they were whispering to each other.

"Ok team the objective is to get the hostages. Superboy and I will take care of Bane, Robin and Batgirl will get the hostages and the rest of you fight the guards. Robin I want you to throw a few smoke bombs down at the count of three to give us the advantage" Aqualad whispered.

Everyone nodded and got ready in their positions.

"One, two, THREE!"

Robin threw his smoke bombs distracting Bane and his men. As this happened the two teenagers nodded to each other and disappeared.

Everyone stuck to the plan it went perfectly the villains were taken care of but the hostages were gone.

"Where are they?" Artemis said in disbelief.

"Team search the area and see if you can find anything in the warehouse that might be important" Aqualad said.

*BREAKLINE*

"I found footage based on test subjects." Robin said giving it to Batman.

"Good job and the hostages" Batman said.

"They pulled a batman" Wally said.

"Ok I'll take this up to the league where it will be played" Batman said

"Can we watch it too please?" Robin begged.

"Fine but you're to leave if you can't handle it" Batman instructed.

They all zeta'd up to the watchtower where Batman and the league sat to see the video.

Project r (renegade)

Ren sliced through the armoured men with his katanas as he ran to the exit. Ren ventured through the temple till he reached a hidden door.

He pushed against the door. As soon as he was in, he stocked up on weapons and armour. Ren took a pair of twin swords, a staff and arm and leg guards. Once Ren was done he made it across the bridge where the flag was.

"Carry this bag of 40 kg bag to the next flag 32 km away through the desert" Ren read.

Ren sighed and took the bag and walked to get to the other flag. Ren walked for days and night's non-stop. Enemies came to attack him every now and again. Ren fought back sometimes but the other times he just ran.

Ren stumbled through the desert, he fell many times but kept going on the last day rain spread over the desert making Ren's job harder. Ren struggled as every step he took his legs went knee deep in wet sand.

Passing the obstacle Ren finally reached the flag but only to see lots of men ready to fight. He dropped the bag and brought out the twin swords he got in the weaponry room. He charged into them and took them down in a record time. When he was done with them he went back for the bag and walked to the flag.

"Leave the bag and walk to the next destination that was twice the size of this one" Ren read out loud.

Ren then passed out. After a few hours he woke up to see he was in his room.

"You failed young renegade. And failure means punishment" Slade said through the intercom.

Two Sladebots came in and dragged Ren and locked him in the containment room. For two days he was kept there with no water or anything whatsoever before Slade came in.

"Renegade" Slade said but no answer.

"Renegade" No answer.

Slade growled and kicked him hard on the jaw.

"Renegade you weak little boy. Answer me now" Slade hissed.

"…"

Slade then punched and kicked Renegade until he let out a hoarse bloodcurdling scream.

"This pathetic boy patched up, training starts in an hour" Slade said to his bots walking away.

The bots went to get a first aid while Ren laid in his own pool of blood.

Ren coughed up blood as the bots put him on a stretcher and went to the med bay.

The band of heroes stared at the screen in horror. They were all thinking the same thing. How could Slade do that to a person so young?

Ravager and Scorpion burst out crying. The team surrounded them.

"Yes I know it was hard on us too" Black Canary soothed.

But Ravager and Scorpion shook their head.

"No we knew him. He was like a big brother to us when Slade took us" Ravager chocked.

The team looked shocked at the girls. Black Canary hugged them and soon they calmed down.

"Can you tell us what you went through please?" Superman asked.

Ravager nodded.

"Well like I said he was like a big brother. He told us his name was Ren. He looked out for us and protected us from killing as much as he could. When Slade was about to make me Talon Ren took my place but refused to take the serum. So every night he would have to leave for the court of owls.

He would always be in a good mood, smiling, joking around and all. But that all changed one day I and Scorpion did something unforgivable to him and he never talked to us again. But there were still a few things he would still do for us. He still took our punishments and helped us improve our skills. But he changed he wasn't happy anymore and he never smiled, he wasn't talkative like before he almost became inhuman.

One day he came into our room covered in blood. He told us it was our time to escape so we took it and went with him. We faced some Sladebots on the way out, one of them activated a lock down but Ren found a small window for us to fit through. As soon we were out Ren locked the window. He stayed inside. We tried to get back in but the building exploded and we got caught in the blast. And that's you came and brought us here".

The team bowed their head and so did the leaguers. Their heart went out to the boy, he would have been a good hero.
