I watch two girls on the street from my place on a skyscraper. My brother walks toward them.
"No indeed. Harm is not done, much Harm left to do," Billy says.
My brother walks through the smoke and towards the two girls on the ground. Both of them sit up. One of them gets on one knee and brings out a bow.
"The its cannot escape Harm," He says.
"Escaping isn't on the menu," says the girl dressed in green, as she shoots a couple arrows at Billy.
"Arrows, it does not impress," says Billy, or what he now calls himself, Harm.
"Fine, Taeh taht s'nopaew latem!" Says the girl dressed in a girl-ish tuxedo.
"Neither does its magic," Billy/Harm says, "You both must do better, or suffer Harm."
"We get it! Your name is Harm," says the girl dressed in green.
"Their ridiculous garb and rudimentary skills indicate instruction from Green Arrow and Zatara. Harm will study these two to learn methods for killing their mentors," Harm says.
"Oh, you did not just threaten my dad!" the Zatara girl says, "Etativel drows ot em!"
The sword Harm is holding starts to shake, but Harm doesn't let go.
"It wants Harm's sword? Very well," he says.
I watch him as he throws the sword at the Zatara girl. She ducks and the swords hits the wall. The Green Arrow girl starts running and shooting arrows. I take this time to disappear and reappear in the alley behind the girls. At this point I put my hood down so I can see better.
"Big mistake, Harmster!" says the Green Arrow girl, as she shoots two arrows at him.
My brother jumps up, catches the arrows, and throws them back at her. They explode and both girls are knocked back. The Green Arrow girl lands on her back and the Zatara girl lands sitting up, looking at me. I stand close to the wall, but stay where the Zatara girl can see me. I wave my hand in the 'This Way!' motion, before slowly jogging into the alley.
"On second thought, running," I hear the Zatara girl say.
"Yeah, to regroup," the Green Arrow girl says.
I go back to the entrance of the alley and do my 'This Way!' motion again.
"Erif nrub, nordlauc elbbub!" the Zatara girl says.
I stay there as they run towards me before I turn and slowly jog into the alley again.
"Who's that?" I hear the Green Arrow girl say.
"Do you really care right now?" says the Zatara girl.
"No."
I disappear and reappear above the apartment building. I go over to the fire escape ladders, and lean over the edge and release them down. Then I wave the 'This Way' motion again.
"I like her already," says the Zatara girl as I turn and slowly jog across the roof. I wait for them to get up.
Once they get on the roof, they come running towards me and stop in front of me.
"Thanks for the save, but," says the Zatara girl, "Who are you?"
I say the only word I can, "Secret."
"That won't cut it. We need answers. Do you know Harm? Does he have any weaknesses?" asks the Green Arrow girl.
I look at her, "Secret."
Then I bend my shoulders down a little and point behind them as I see Harm's hand on the rooftop's edge. The two girls spin around and gasp and my brother jumps up and lands on the roof.
"At least they make the hunt interesting," Harm says.
I disappear and reappear, watching from the shadows where my brother can't see me. Harm walks forward and swings his sword in front of him.
"He's fast, I'll give him that," says the Green Arrow girl as she and the Zatara girl look at each other.
Then she turns around and shoots the water tower. It breaks open and water rushes out. The Zatara girl raises her hands as the water pours onto my brother.
"Dloc dniw wolb! Dloc dniw wolb! Dloc dniw wolb!" says the Zatara girl.
The water freezes solid and my brother looks slightly surprised. The ice glints in the moonlight, as I look at it. Then a spot on his chest above his heart glows, and so does the sword. Beams of light shine of from the sword and electricity from the ice. Then the ice shatters and my brother jumps up with the sword still glowing. Crescents of yellow light lash out from the sword. One of the crescents destroy the water tower. The girls start running and I disappear onto the rooftop of the building of which they're running towards.
"Where'd Little Miss Secret go?" says the Green Arrow girl.
"There!" says the Zatara girl, as I wave from the rooftop I'm standing on.
"Okay. These boots, adorable, but for a chase sequence?" she says, "Lacitcarp raewtoof won!"
They both jump off the edge of the rooftop and smoke appears around the Zatara girl's boots. When the smoke clears, I see the heels are gone. They land on the next rooftop with my brother jumping off the previous rooftop a moment or two after them. My brother raises his sword and tries to hit them with the swords lightning magic, but misses. The two girls turn around as Harm grabs and throws his dagger. They stop and turn around as he throws the dagger. My eyes widen as I see it rush towards the girls.
"Secret!" I whisper.
It cuts the Green Arrow girl's bow string as she raises it to fire an arrow at him. She gasps and I watch as the dagger continues flying before landing in the metal door, several feet behind them.
"Okay, hold him off while I restring," says the Green Arrow girl.
The Zatara girl nods and rushes forward. My brother jumps forward and kicks the Zatara girl. She lands on her back and my brother raises his sword before landing on the ground and swinging at the Green Arrow girl. The GA girl raises her bow, which still is missing a string, and tries to hit him with it. Harm cuts the top part off and when she tries to hit again, he cuts the bottom off , too. The forces knocks the remaining bow out of her hand. She quickly brings out a miniature crossbow. She points it at his face while his sword is right beside her crossbow. He brings his sword down a little and it stops a little to the left of her face, but in front of her.
"You wanna play without the toys?" she asks.
"It tries to bait Harm, leave Harm weak," he says, as he puts the sword in its arm-like sheath. Then he stabs it into the ground, "But Harm has no weakness."
He takes off the blue overcoat that didn't cover his shoulders, and drops it on the ground. Then he assumes a fighting stance. The GA girl puts up her crossbow and assumes a fighting stance as well. The Zatara girl is standing up by this point and looking worriedly at the GA girl. Harm smiles and the GA girl rushes forward. They start fighting. But everytime the GA girl tries to punch or kick Harm, he dodges or blocks. I watch as the Zatara girl tries to take the sword out of where it stuck in the roof. Then I return my attention to the GA girl as my brother starts to talk.
"So unfocused. It struggles with inner demons and can't fight Harm while fighting itself. Harm doesn't fight his demons. Harm embraces them," he says as they continue fighting.
"Would Harm please shut up!" says the GA girl.
I look at the Zatara girl as she screams. The sword had shocked her with its magic when she tried to pull it out of the ground. The GA girl looks at the Zatara girl as well.
"Zatanna!" says the GA girl.
Oh, so that's her name, I think to myself, Zatanna Zatara, I think.
Then Harm hits the GA girl in the face. She lands on her back beside Zatanna, who is lying on the ground face down. The GA girl makes a sound and sits up.
"And it cares about others, another weakness," says Harm.
I watch him pick up his overcoat and put it back on. Then I disappear and reappear on another rooftop.
"The sword rejected its impure heart, it has not made the sacrifices Harm has made to become pure," he says.
Zatanna raises her head.
"Look! It's Secret!" she says to the GA girl.
The both of them look at me and I do the 'This Way!' motion, once again.
"She hasn't led us wrong so far," says Zatanna.
The two girls get up and I watch the GA girl turn around and throw something at my brother's feet. It starts smoking. Then the two girls run across the rooftop, towards me. Harm waves his arm through the smoke and clears it in time to see the two girls jump off the roof. I smile.
