Hello. This is my first Fanfic so forgive me for some foreseeable mistakes. I am open to suggestions and constructive criticism so please leave a review.

Unfortunately I do not own DC comics, Batman or any related works.

Prologue

The day was normal. Samuel MacEntee had just returned from college. A week of lab sessions, lab reports and assignments had taken their toll on his mind and body, making five days seem like a month. But for now the weekend was his and he was going to enjoy it.

"Ma I'm home from hell," Samuel shouted into the kitchen when he entered.

"Samuel, college isn't that bad. Stop complaining."

"I'll stop complaining when they stop giving me six lectures in a row with no breaks."

"Then please complain a bit more quietly."

"I'll try," the nineteen year old said as he headed down to his room. Samuel was only in college for a couple of months now but the stress was already getting to him. Though he had made friends and did enjoy the subject of general science, it was still tough. The shear amount of work had caused his social life to grind to a near standstill. But the weekends were still his and he was going to enjoy this one. He had plans to go do some clay-pigeon shooting with his grandfather and to have a well-deserved late morning.

Passing the sitting room he heard shouting. Deciding to investigate Samuel came across his younger siblings. His seventeen year old brother Dan and his fourteen year old sister April. They were playing one of their Call of Duty games. By the sounds of it and judging by his sister's look of pure betrayal, Dan had just killed her.

"Why do you have to keep doing that," April demanded to her brother.

"Cause that is the aim of the game stupid," was Dan's answer. Competition was rife between Samuel's family. His father and brother were Rally drivers and were very good, winning multiple titles. His sister and mother were horse riders and had won various ribbons and trophies at competitions. Samuel on the other hand was very good at clay-pigeon shooting and had won a few titles himself.

Deciding to make himself known Samuel entered the room and stood next to the pair.

"So what's the score?"

"I'm winning by miles is what is the score."

"Only because he knows this map off by heart."

"Whatever you say." Samuel left the room again deciding to leave his siblings to their game. Despite being the oldest, his younger brother and sister had always been extremely close. He guessed that because Samuel had dedicated most of his time to his school work and college. He wanted to go somewhere, to work in the sciences and to maybe help the world. To do this he needed to dedicate one hundred percent of his time to his education, causing a rift to develop between him and his siblings. But he reasoned that it was necessary.

Deciding not to think about it anymore Samuel threw his bag onto the floor of his room, lying on his bed and putting on the TV. Before long though his eyes got heavy and he dosed off.

"SAMUEL!"

Samuel rose from his slumber at his mother's calling. Looking at his watch he seen that he had been asleep for just over 45 minutes. A good length for a nap. Another shout caused him to finally get up and make his way to the kitchen. Entering, his mother looked to him.

"Finally I've been shouting for ages."

"It was two minutes and you know it."

"Whatever. Set the table for dinner and get everything out. I'm going up the yard to get your father."

"OK."

"Good." His mother went out the door to get his father, who was up the yard working on one of the many rally cars they have. Samuel went to work setting out the plates, cutlery and glasses. Seeing that the beans were done he set them out on the table. After being drained the spuds were set out. Finally he checked the oven and seen that the spicy pork chops were cooked to perfection. Samuel then went to the sitting room to tell his siblings.

"Hey dinners ready."

"OK," Dan and April said in unison, not taking their eyes off the game.

"As in dinner is ready to eat right now."

"We heard you," Dan replied with a slight amount of venom. The game must have been pretty close.

"Whatever. Eat it cold." Samuel went back to the kitchen, deciding he was starving and very impatient, he sat down to eat.

After five minutes his brother and sister came in, with his sister having a look of murder and his brother looking quite smug.

"I'm gonna take a wild guess at who won," Samuel asked with a slight smirk.

"Shut. Up," April replied, shifting her murder look towards Samuel. Being used to it Samuel just shrugged. April then sat down and began to eat with Dan already eating.

"Where's Ma and Da," Dan asked while eating.

"Still up the yard," Samuel replied, finishing off his food. They were used to waiting for their parents as they could get wrapped up in chatting for hours.

Just then the lights suddenly went off plunging all three into darkness. Samuel stood up at this action.

"Hey go check the breakers," April said to Samuel. He nodded and went towards the breakers in the scullery. All of a sudden there was a crash as glass broke and then a bang followed by a bright flash of light. All three were blinded by this but then arms came out of nowhere and tackled each of them, pulling them to the ground. The lights returned and they now saw that they were being held to the ground by three men dressed in black with black masks hiding their faces. Five others dressed similarly stood over them.

Another man then entered dressed totally different. He was wearing a long green robe with gold details. He had black hair with white sides with a goatee which went down below his chin. Like the others he had a sword, but his seemed more fancy and was on his hip, not his back. Samuel knew by the look of him that he was in charge.

"Where is it," The man in charge demanded from Samuel.

"What the fuck are you talking about," Samuel replied with venom. The man stuck him over the face, causing his lip to burst.

"Do not lie to me boy. We have been searching for months for the item. It is vital we get it now tell us!"

"We don't know what you're fucking talking about. Who the fuck are you?"

"I am the great Ra's al Ghul. Now tell me where the toxin is or you end up like the others."

"What the fuck are you talking about," Dan shouted to Ra's. Samuel seen that he was as angry as he was. Looking at April h seen that she was pale and terrified. Thinking back at Ra's words the colour drained from Samuel's face.

"You fucking killed our parents."

"So that's who they were oh well. Now tell us or you will end up just like them."

Ra's drew his sword but Samuel's words had enraged Dan to the point he pushed off the man holding him and ran straight towards Ra's with blind fury. However seeing this Ra's simply raised his sword and ran it through Dan's torso.

"DAN!" Samuel and April both cried out as they witnessed their brother fall to the ground dead.

"Now you see what happens when people defy me. Now prepare to join him." Before Ra's drew his sword back to strike April one of his men whispered in his ear and Ra's sheathed his sword. "It seems the toxin has been located. We are finished here."

"You fucking bastard. I'll kill you." Samuel shouted to Ra's with pure hatred. His sister was now crying.

"I am feeling merciful. You can keep your lives. Knock them out." The men holding Samuel and April took out syringes and stuck them into the sibling's necks. Instantly feeling light headed and going dark, Samuel stated once more,

"I'll kill you."

Samuel immediately shot up shouting Dan's name.

"Dan!" Noticing he was now in a dark room with two beds. On the other bed his sister was still sleeping. Samuel immediately went to her and shook her waking her. Stirring from her sleep April opened her eyes to her brother.

"Where are we? What happened?"

"I don't know know."

"Where's Dan?"

"I am afraid that I have some terrible news." Both Samuel and April turned their heads to see a third man standing by the door. He was dressed in a dark robe and had black hair.

"What happened to our family," April asked with worry in her eyes.

"The terrorist known as Ra's al Ghul attacked your family. You two are the only ones who remain."

Hearing this Samuels heart broke and he collapsed onto his sister's bed and wept. April covered her face with her hands and began to cry as well. The man stood stoically but with a sad expression.

"Why did he do it," Samuel asked between sobs.

"It seems he mistook your family for ones who had stolen an important from him."

"He killed our family by fucking mistake!" April had now turned to rage as she stated this. Samuel now got angry.

"Why did you bring us here?"

"I am known as Silver Tiger. I am a member of the TY Lee, an ancient group who takes in and trains souls who have lost so much in an attempt to help them and to get closure for their losses. We seen what happened to you and decided to help you."

Samuel and April now looked into each other's eyes. They both saw the rage in each other and they both knew that their old lives were gone. All that remained was the single thought of vengeance against Ra's al Ghul. Both nodding slightly they turned to Silver Tiger.

"Can you train us to kill Ra's al Ghul?" April asked.

"Yes."

"Then we accept."
