China
Red Hood complains about the weapons' quality. Nightwing keeps punching the wall in anger, cursing every member of JLA and Batman's rogue gallery. Red Hood takes off his helmet and throws it in the corner.
"Weapons here are so expensive." Red Hood loads the gun. "-and shit. Need to find a new dealer."
"Told you-" Oracle wheels in bringing a heavy briefcase along. "China White is never trust worthy."
The sound of the punches keeps getting louder. Jason pulls a drink out of the refrigerator and throws one for Barbara. He hops upon the fence and watched Dick trying to carve a hole in the wall.
"I should say that their swords are sexy." Barbara says as she draws one and throws it right into forehead of the dummy. "Bull's eye."
Dick finally makes a crack on the wall and steps back. He is heavily breathing and sweating. He keeps his hands on the knees.
"You are pulling your punches." Jason says as he enterd the cage. "It should be-" Jason punches the wall three times. "-something like this." The new crack worse than the crack, Dick just carved. "Batman and Arrow would have taken one punch."
"Shut up Hood." Dick says as he wipes his face with a towel. "Any Information?"
"League is divided into two groups: Legends and Legions. Superman leads the Legends and Martian leads the Legions." Oracle answers. "Legends are favoring the Knight Law while Legions are opposing it."
"Case is still in court. Dinah Lance represents the Legions while Lex Luthor represents the Legends. Superman and Luther, who could have thought." Hood jokes and finishes his beer bottle.
"I did. Luthor is a manipulative bastard. Atleast he got style unlike Joker." Nightwing says. Red Hood tightens his grip and break the beer bottle. "Who could have thought that I would become a reason of a Civil War?"
"Robin the Wonder boy. You were not such a crybaby when you were wearing the mantle. Lead the Titans and were beating the heck out of the Outlaws." Jason says.
"Shouldn't you be hunting some girls?"
"I am not some pervert."
"HEY GUYS! Stop being children." Barbara shouts and notices that alarm on the conputer went off. "There are intruders here." Barbara wheels towards her computer system.
"How can you tell?" Dick asks and the lights in the bunker are shut.
"I am assuming you got your answer." Barbara taunts. "Activate the night vision in your masks." Barbara orders. Jason wears his trademark helmet and rushes up on 2nd floor. Dick stays at the ground. He draws his staff and help Barbara to safety.
"I am on 2nd floor."
"Any movements?" Nightwing asks.
"Negative. Not even a rat- wait-" the roof breaks and a chinese woman with white hair lands in front of the Hood. "China White."
"Red Hood." China White grins.
"Isn't she our benefactor?" Dick asks.
"She must have implanted GPS trackers on the weapons. We were compromised." Barbara says as she activates the backup generator. "Red Hood keep her busy."
"Sure deal."
Red Hood draws his guns and take a shot at China White but she dodge and swings her saber. Red Hood bends back. "Close." He comments. China then kicks but Red back flip. "You don't look that strong." He says that before looking at the broken floor.
"Generators are on." Barbara and Dick hears a pops near the sight where Red and White are fighting. "Smoke bombs?"
"Another intruder."
Nightwing pulls out his gun and shoots a grappling hook right into the rooftop. "Wish me luck." White tries to cut the rope but Red grabs her and knocks her head on the wall.
"Your opponent is me, you bitch." China White mutters something in mandarin. "What did you said?"
"I said you are weak." She kicks and Hood falls on the ground. Hood is confused. He is feeling weak. "Ready for Round 2." Hood kicks the bar and then the wall and jumps on White and grapples her to the ground. His grip loosens as they hit the floor.
Nightwing is on the rooftops where a soldier keeps throwing smokers on the floor. He throws rest of the smokers. The soldier and Nightwing make eye contact.
"Any last words?" Nightwing asks.
"Cliché-" soldier mocks.
Nightwing throws shurikens at the opponent. Later runs forwards and deflects the first two shurikens with his rifle and catches the last one. Nightwing blows a whistles impressed with the mystery man's moves. Soldier shoots the roof below Nightwing instead. The rooftop smashes and sends Dick falling. He grabs onto a chain.
The soldier stares at him. Nightwing feels off about him, but he don't have time for that. He starts to think of the way in which the soldier can attack, but the later just walks away.
"Nightwing help Red Hood." Oracle orders.
"Aye, aye!"
Red blocks White's roundhouse kick and pushes her back. He fells upon his knee. He can hardly speak. "You are weak."
"I... Can... Still fight." White jumps and grapples him to ground, choking him with her lock. Red tries to land a punch but to no avail.
"Red Hood! Make her stand up!"
"I am trying-" Red pulls a taser sword from his boots and shocks White. She leaves him. Red Hood crawls to make some safe distance.
"You son of a-"
Nightwing swings towards her and knock her down with a kick. Her head is bleading and she was unconscious. "Acrobatics!"
"The Flying Graysons. I know." Nightwing offers a helping hand to Red Hood. The later stands up and says, "We need to go before police or some other villains come after us."
"Yeah."
They climb down the stairs where Oracle is disappointed about not taking part in any action. Red Hood packs the weapons and Dick packs the clothes. Barbara is working on medicine for the poison in Jason. She also works on the safest root to avoid police cams. Dick is not worried about the police though. He is just thinking, 'Why didn't he killed me? Who was the man in black?"
China - Triads Base
The soldier walks in to collect his payment. He notice the members' not-so-happy face when we pass them. He stands next to the triads boss who was star gazing. The soldier could not help, but notice the members circling around him.
"You remember what I told you when I offered you the job?" The boss asks as he polishes his sword.
"You hate traitors."
"Exactly. I was betrayed many times. Every time I commit the mistake of trusting a wrong guy, I give myself scars... To remind myself not to waste my time and effort of a wrong guy." Soldier did not need to hear anymore to understand the situation. "Don't misunderstand me. It is my bad habit. It was my mistake to trust you."
"They called the police."
"You could have easily killed Nightwing. On top you left White to grt arrested by police."
"I told you before I signed in. I will abandon the mission if it gets too dangerous." The soldier feels the pressure of being at gumpoint. "You really don't wand to do this."
"Why is that?"
"Because-" his voice becomes deeper and ghostly. He raises his hand. "Because I have a nasty habit of breaking bones when I am scared." He throws shuriken at boss's shoulders. Men covers him. He kicks the man in back and then punch his neck. He is still facing the boss who is in helpless situation. He picks the katana. "Who is next?"
The men scream and run after him. One by one, soldier slash through the foot soldiers. He slashes three men and stabs the fourth mob on the foot. He is screaming. Soldier knocks him with an uppercut. A masked man chains up his neck. Soldier struggles to breathe. He jumps back, and both of them fell two storeys down.
The boss is accompanied by three mobs to a safe location. The mobs stay outside. The boss breathes. He hears gunshot from outside, people screaming in pain and then the utter silence. His heart beats faster. He is sweating. "What is happening?" The chamber doors slam down. The soldier walks in. "You killed them."
"I don't kill. I just need my money and I will walk away."
"Okay."
"Good- good. You know you should have just paid and I did not have to went with trouble of making you piss in your pants." Soldier checks his phone. The money is transferred. "Thank you." He turns and leaves the chamber.
"Who- who are you?"
"That mate is something even I want to know."
Authors' Note: can you guess who is our mystery guy? A hint- watch teen titan tv series.
