Sorry this is late, I have three stories going and I play Runescape and Pokemon, so I'm pretty busy, lol

The acrobat was still searching for clues, then he remembered Batgirl and Terra, and headed for the hallway they were in when the explosions went off. When he finally arrived, the rocks were still there, but when he called out to get their attention, there was nothing.

"I see the Bat's training is still there." A voice said.

"So, you're the one doing this, Deathstroke; I should have known you were behind this attack." Nightwing said as he never let his guard down, and that's when the villain came out of the shadows.

"It's time I use you against your sister." Deathstroke stated, and with that, he threw some pellets. "I was going to use her against you, but after she ran away, I decided to change my plan."

The pellets exploded and sent Nightwing into the abandoned rocks. The hero wasn't down for long, as he got back up, and was ready to fight. Just then he noticed an unusual smoke around him.

"Did you really think I wouldn't have a backup plan?" Deathstroke said, and Nightwing just glared at him.

Nightwing tried not to breath in the smoke, figuring it was knockout gas, but his efforts didn't hold the smoke off for long. The acrobat/hero started coughing, and fell to his knees, then was stretched out on the floor. Deathstroke walked over and even though it couldn't be seen, he was smiling at his accomplishment.

The twins always had a specific spot they liked to hang out in that no one else knew about, and that's where she had disappeared to when Conner saved her. It wasn't far from med bay, but they had discovered the spot right after she joined the team. She knew that Deathstroke would capture Conner for protecting her, but she had to find her brother and the rest of the team.

The hiding place was a small crevice about fifty feet from med bay and they were the only two that could squeeze through. She decided to leave her safe haven and investigate what was going on. When she returned to where Conner had been, she saw where a block of ice had been, but all that was left was what looked like the chippings from removal of a big part.

"Nightwing, are you there, Deathstroke is the intruder, we have to stop him." Flamebird said.

"He's well aware by now, Flamebird; come and save him if you can." Was all Flamebird heard when her heart dropped.

Five minutes later, Deathstroke was still waiting, but now he had everyone but his main prize. Nightwing was awake, but he had very little room to move. The villain knew of his flexibility so he had chained the ex-boy wonder up so that he was unable to get free. With his hands chained, a second chain went between his hands and legs, which were wrapped in chains. There were two other chains, attached to a metal collar around his neck; one going to his wrists, the other attached to the wall behind him with a steel spike.

Nightwing looked around after he woke up, and saw that Batgirl was restrained almost the same way he was, and Terra was unconscious.

"She won't come." Nightwing said, hoping to distract him enough; knowing she was on her way.

"My dear boy, you easily forget how I was able to control her all those years ago. As long as I have you, she will come." Deathstroke said, then he stepped right in front of the hero.

"Looks like you were right, Deathstroke, I would come, but this is going to be the same as last time, with you losing." A familiar voice said, and with that, Flamebird appeared.

"Hello my dear." Deathstroke said, then stepped aside as he was hiding Nightwing from his sister's sight.

Flamebird started heating up when she saw how Deathstroke had her brother chained up. Without thinking, she created a fire sword and went right for the man that had her whole world captured. Deathstroke knew this was coming, and was ready with his own sword. The two went at this fight with their all, and then the fire controller switched from her fire sword to fire eskrima sticks and she was actually doing some damage, but it wasn't long before the assassin/mercenary was ready to fight back. It's like he was just playing around at first, but then he started getting serious.

Nightwing was watching as Flamebird was taking blow after blow, but she was also returning the blows. The fire controller's special eskrima sticks were landing on the parts of his suit that had been cut earlier in the fight, and Deathstroke now had burns all over his body. The acrobat tried to get his lock pick, but it's then that he realized his lock pick was missing.

The captive twin cussed under his breath and looked back toward his sister. Flamebird always keeps an eye on all her surroundings, and that's when she saw her brother's face. The fire controlling heroine knew he was in trouble. She started turning the fight in her favor, and when she saw an opening, attacked enough to disorient the mercenary. Flamebird then ran over to her brother and started melting the three chains keeping him from freeing himself.

Unknown to both of them, Deathstroke recovered quickly and pulled a gun. He was aiming it right at Flamebird. The bullet fired, and Flamebird was slow to react as her concentration was on the chains keeping her brother.

"Lookout!" Nightwing shouted even though he couldn't walk, he could still throw himself in front of the bullet.

A splash of blood was all she saw after she heard her brother's voice call out.

Deathstroke is so going to get it.

I'm going to work on my other two stories for a while, so you'll just have to wait.
